I'm back! Okay, this is the sequel to Behind The Wheel, which I recomend you read before this story, but onto things that have changed:
Susannah and Mater are finally married!! Hip, hip, horrah! It's about time! This story is set 2 years after the end of Behind The Wheel, meaning the twins are now 5 years old! Adorable! That's all I can think of right now, so on with the story!
"Good mornin' Mrs Susannah Tow," Mater said happily, watching Susannah wake in their hotel in Daytona, where they were going to watch Lightning race.
Susannah smiled to herself as she nuzzled his fender affectionately, "Morning Mater."
"Eew," Two voices interrupted them. Susannah and Mater turned to the direction of the voices to see Mia and Duncan looking at them in disgust.
"What's the matter? Are you jealous?" Susannah teased the twins, who looked at each other in confusion before looking back at their mother who was slowly approaching them; before they knew it Susannah lunged toward them and tapped them both on the hood quite delicately, but it still caused Mia to let out a little, "ouch."
Susannah chuckled at her before saying, "Come here, let mummy kiss it better."
"No!" Mia shouted while laughing quietly.
She quickly drove behind Mater for protection but Susannah followed her saying, "Oh no, the monster's gonna getcha!"
"No!" Mia squealed with excitement.
"Don't worry," Duncan said triumphantly getting between Susannah and Mia, "I'll save ya!"
Susannah looked down at Duncan as he gently chewed her tire, and called, "Oh no! He's got me, he's got me!"
The young Dodge Ram Pickup backed away as he noticed his mother with her eyes closed, "Mum?" He asked timidly.
There was silence for a moment before Susannah shouted, "boo!"
The twins screamed with shock before laughing at what Susannah had done – hey, it was either laugh or cry.
Mia and Duncan nuzzled their mother and said in unison, "I love you mum."
Susannah smiled slightly as she said back, "I love you to."
Mia and Duncan backed away from her to do… stuff, leaving Susannah and Mater alone.
"I didn't know you were so good at doin' stuff like that," Mater told Susannah, "I hope you know they've got a grea' mum."
She giggled a bit before saying, "You're just sayin' that."
The two were interrupted by a knock at the door; Susannah slowly opened it to reveal Lightning, "Are you coming to the track? We're gonna do some test laps."
Susannah looked at Mater who smiled with approval, looking back at Lightning she answered, "Okay."
So Lightning and Susannah went down to the track were Doc, Luigi, Guido and Sally were waiting for him. "So, once or twice round?" Susannah offered.
"You're on girlfriend," Lightning agreed with a chuckle, as the two got ready they were stopped by a girlish giggle, they both looked around to see two Mazda's looking at Lightning, he sighed before saying, "just hold on for a second." He made his way to them but Susannah followed.
"Hey Lightning," the two said together.
"Who's this?" One of them asked, pointing a tire at Susannah who backed away, slightly offended by her tone of voice.
"I'm Susannah, who are you?" Susannah asked, copying her tone of voice.
"I'm Mia…"
"And I'm Tia."
"What are you doing here?" Lightning asked, slightly annoyed.
"Beings that we are your biggest fans," Tia began, glaring at Susannah, "we thought that we should be here first."
Lightning sighed, he didn't know whether he would regret what he was about to tell them, "Girls, have you heard? This is my last race."
The two looked at him, their bottom lips trembling and tears building up in their eyes.
"Oh please," Susannah began, "please don't tell me you're gonna cry over that?"
Before she knew it Mia and Tia were crying mournfully, Susannah rolled her eyes toward the sky, 'Oh God have mercy,' she thought, 'talk about over-reacting!' As Susannah turned to leave she realised what Lightning had said, "This is your last race?"
He looked down at the ground and nodded.
"You're… retiring?"
He nodded and the twins cried even more, "but enough with the depressing stuff, let's get practicing!"
So the twins left them to practise and after an hour of doing so most of the fans where waiting for the race to begin and all of Radiator Springs had come to cheer him on.
"Hey look!" A voice called, "There he is! McQueen and his army of hillbillies." This comment was followed by a few laughs.
No one needed to turn to see who it was; they knew too well that it was Chick Hicks.
"Hey, I'm talkin' to you!"
Still no one turned around, that was until Susannah felt some one hit her rear bumper, that's when she turned to face him like a bullet from a gun. "What," Susannah growled, "do you want?"
Chick and his pit crew laughed at her fierce tone, "I'm sorry, babe, did I annoy you?"
"Don't you dare call me 'babe'!" Susannah shouted angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Chick began rolling toward her, "C'mon let's kiss and make up."
Susannah backed away from him, "What?"
"C'mon, you married that tow truck, so why not me?" Chick taunted, "What has he got that I haven't?"
Susannah looked at him with a dumbfounded expression before answering, "Everything!"
Chick sniggered before adding, "Minus his hood."
Susannah's engine revved with annoyance as she said, "You better shut up right now! Don't you dare talk about Mater like that! You don't know him like I do, no one does!"
Chick turned to leave but before he left he said, "I think you better look out for your kids, we don't want them to go missing again, do we?"
Susannah's engine revved once more, but this time Mater came over to her. "Susie, what's the matter?" He asked.
She gave Chick a cold glare who said, "Nothing's wrong with her, I was then leaving." He winked at her before turning to leave.
Susannah was going to turn as well, but instead she threw herself toward Chick and clamped her teeth furiously in Chick's back tire.
"Susie!!?" Mater shouted in confusion and shock.
Everyone turned to see what all the commotion was about, they were all shocked to see Susannah biting Chick's tire.
"What the hell?" Chick cried, trying to get Susannah of him, "What do you think your doing?"
Susannah didn't answer, her grip just tightened giving Chick more pain, Mater tried to tow her away from him but she wouldn't let go. Sure, there wasn't anybody to stop her from biting him but there were plenty of paparazzi around them. The only thing that made Susannah let go is when his tire burst in her mouth, then she quickly backed away repeating, "Ow," a million times over.
"What was that about?" Chick asked, getting to the safety of behind his pit crew, "I think you need to train her or something, she's crazy!"
Susannah began to drive around in circles still saying 'Ow'; she stopped and spat out a small bit of rubber.
"Are you okay Susie?" Mater asked Susannah who was still trying to spit out smaller bits of rubber.
"What do you mean 'am I okay'? Yeah, sure I'm okay, yeah I'm fine… what do you think? I just had a tire explode in my mouth; of course I'm not okay!" Susannah yelled. Seeing Mater's hurt expression she calmed before saying, "I'm sorry, it's just that he was making fun of you because you were missin' your hood."
"Susie they're jealous," Mater began to comfort her, "they're jus' jealous cuz they want muh good looks."
Susannah smiled to herself as she nuzzled his fender, but it turned to a scowl as she heard Chick calling, "what are you doin'? She tried to kill me! You could be next!" She turned to face him; he had braved to come out from behind his pit crew, Susannah bit the air and Chick quickly backed away from her. She chuckled to herself before going over to Lightning.
"Make sure you take him out Lightning," Susannah began, "No, scrap that, make sure you kill 'im."
Sorry for the crappy first chapter, I need to get back to writing about Susie, if you haven't been on my profile I have to say right here: This story will get gory! I had to stop the chapter there cuz if I didn't it would've gone on forever, that's what happens if I listen to Shania Twain while I write!
So anyway... reviews? Ah, I love that word!
