Looks like it. Or any normal holiday.

_{[He starts to count all the holidays he's seen end in bizarre disasters on his fingers when he notices that he only seems to have three on that hand now, all tipped with stubby, pale claws. His entire arm is coated in short, soft, fur the same color as his hair.]}

EEUUGGHHH!

_{[No pain, no tingling, no warning, just. BAM. MUTANT COTTON CANDY ARM. He holds it as far away from his body as he can as if that will somehow stop the infection from spreading.]}

G'yed it off!

WOAH!

[Jimmy shouts in spite of himself, scooting back an inch or two in the grass.]

Y...your arm!

[Says Captain Obvious.]

NOT HELPING!

_{[He swipes his remaining human hand against the fur, trying in vain to brush it away, but ALAS. The pink horribleness starts crawling down his bare arm and up the nape of his neck.]}

It's not stopping! Don't get too close! It could get on you!

Don't panic! It's uh- we'll just-!

[Jimmy scrambles to his feet, but about that time he feels a strange...weight that nearly causes him to fall right back down again. He turns on his heel just in time to see the beginnings of an absolutely massive tail sprouting from behind, whacking against the backs of his legs uncontrollably as it grows out and swings around.]

AHH!!

[And guess what else? MORE FUR, MORE FUR FOR EVERYONE.]

Kid! Kid! Not so loud!

_{[Ralph claps his hands over his rapidly lengthening ears.]

[Meanwhile, over by the fountain, the couple training their Hitmontop look away from teaching the little Pokemon and frown.]}

Ugh, how can people be so noisy?

Right? Don't they know people come to the park to relax?

_{[Meanwhile, meanwhile, behind the tree.]}

Atari have mercy! ATARI HAVE MERCY!

_{[Ralph fumbles out his 'gear with his new stumpy fingers and frantically starts scrolling through the Poke'Dex.]}

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, what's something pink? How many pink Pokemon can there be!?

[Jimmy grimaces, trying to wrack his brain while his hands come around to grip at the base of his rapidly growing tail.]

Uuuhh...Jigglypuff? Ditto?!

[By now both of his arms are completely covered with fur and his nails have grown into thick claws. It's making his clothes hard to wear at this point.]

_{[Ralph continues to scroll frantically as Jimmy lists off Pokemon.]}

The last thing I wanna be is a blob of chewing gum!

_{[It's then that he notices Jimmy's predicament and swaps his search for something with stripes. Finally the 'Dex lands on the culprit and he turns his 'gear around so that at least the kid has some idea of what to expect.]}

Look! It's almost like the thing that attacked us in the maze!

[It's about that time when Jimmy buries his claws into his hair, his own ears starting to elongate into something like...]

Oh sweet corn, I'm turning into a Furret!

[...Furrets don't have wings, either, so then-]

T-that must mean yours is something pink with wings!

_{[Ralph abandons his dex search in favor of looking anxiously over his shoulder as if the tiny useless wings their attacker had sported would sprout any second.]}

This is not what I had planned for today.

_{[He looks down at his stubby handclaws and grimaces. At least it doesn't hurt. Physically. All this pink is doing quite a number on his pride.]</sub.}

[As soon as the words leave Ralph's mouth, Jimmy's tail has finally stopped growing. ...the bad news is that it is literally as long as he is tall. His ears now resemble a Furret's, and the fur all over is finally starting to grow the rest of the way in, slowly forming a large ruff around his neck.]

This is so weird. I mean....it's...kindof cool, actually? But also really weird.

[Maybe it's because he just itches all over and isn't in excruciating pain. Not to mention that the more fur that grows, the less his skin hurts.]

Cool!? There's nothing COOL about this! I just lost half my fingers!

_{[He parts his hands (paws?) to peer down at a foot that's got some serious morphing going on.]}

And there go my toes. Great. Just great!

Well, you know what I mean! It's the principle or whatever!

[Then again, Jimmy isn't really paying much attention to his own fingers and toes, not realizing yet how...pawlike they've all gotten.

And once that tuft of fur around his neck gets unbearable, Jimmy starts to jerk his shirt off with his long tail lashing a little behind him.]

_{[The wrecker just makes a loud disgusted sound and sits with his hands over his eyes. If he can't see it happening, especially that long, goofy, lolipop curl of a tail snaking its way out the back of his suspenders, it can't possibly be happening.]

[Perfectly sound logic.]}

Just tell me when it's over!

[Perhaps unfortunately in Ralph's case, Jimmy is helpful to a fault. He moves to sit back down- a bit awkwardly with his tail in the way, but he manages- watching as the last of Ralph's transformations take place. His seem to be done, what with fur everywhere and stripes running all along his whole body.]

...'kay, I think it's safe to look now.

_{[Ralph parts his fingers but instead of looking himself over he just boggles at Jimmy.]

[Jimmy got...long.]}

Jeez, kid, keep this up and you'll be taller than me.

[He sure did, and his length doesn't seem to know what to do with itself. His tail is currently trying to awkwardly curl around his torso as he speaks.]

Yeah...talk about growth spurt, huh?

You're lookin', uh...pink.

_{[This face. Just this face, Jimmy.]}

[Too soon?]

Okay, okay...maybe it'll just...wear off soon? Heloise always made inventions that sometimes caused things like this to happen, but usually she was able to come up with some sorta...antidote...

_{[TOO SOON.]

Let's hope so. This is too weird for me.

_{[He reaches behind him and pulls his tail around, uncurling it so that he can see it.]}

What animal even needs a tail this long.}

Whatever yours is, I guess.

[Jimmy watches Ralph curiously, his own tail far, far too long to be at all practical. But the longer he watches him...he suddenly has a moment of realization.]

Wait, I know where I've seen those wings! You're a Clefairy!

A Clefairy!

_{[He drops his tail and snatches up his gear, scrolling through the pokedex until he finds it. His ears sweep out to the sides.]}

It would be the most harmless-looking Pokemon out there! I can't do my strongman act OR be a part of the haunted house like this! I'd get laughed right outta Goldenrod.

[Jimfurret just sighs again, lifting a hand to shuck through his hair...while pulling back a little when his fingertips accidentally brush across one of his long, twitching ears.]

There's gotta be something we can do about this, though! Do you think we should try going back to the Center? Maybe they'd know what to do!

_{[He sighs and tucks the 'gear away without reading further.]}

I dunno...that's a lot of people...ugh! Listen to me! I'm not afraid of people, I'm Wreck-It Ralph! Anybody makes funna me or you, I'll punch 'em back to the Stoneage!

I-I know! Trust me, I believe you big guy. I'm sure we're not the only ones having this problem...a lotta other people got bit, didn't they?

_{[SORRY, JIMMMY, HE CAN'T HEAR YOU. Ralph hops to his feet and starts throwing punches at imaginary foes.]}

I'll punch 'em clear outta th' GAME!

_{[He flutters a good foot above the ground in his fury.]}
