Alright guys, to keep you guys on your toes, here's a little something to keep you occupied. REMEMBER: this is the FIRST edition of Love at First Drive. This is unedited, on-the-spot writing that I finished in a whole day (yes, I finished all the chapters in roughly 5 hours).

I scrapped this outline because it seemed so simple, but I'm not going to keep it from you guys, even if I did make a more dynamic outline(for me, I think it was x3). My fans(what fans? xD) deserve to know what happens next. Although there is a whole other revamped outline(remember, I had to scrap this one!), this should keep you guys in check. ^-^ 3 And yes, these chapters are shorter than usual and some things may be wrong(this was before MBF's full development), so don't flame me. ;3

Chapter One

Marlene cheered on for her friend as he raced through the track at a race at Porto Corsa that Lightning was invited to. At least he gave back her VIP pass; she was able to watch him from a special yet exclusive spot among the spectators. She squeaked in delight as he finished by two feet of his opponent's bumper, and she left the VIP spectators' box to congratulate him. She headed over to the trailer parking, and asked Mack where he was.

"Oh, he's there, crowded by the press," he said. "Just wait; he'll come around."

So she only waited there, chatting with Mack, until her friend came along.

"Congratulations, Dragon!" she said, driving up to him.

He only laughed. "I'm so glad you could watch me, Marlene," he said, smiling at her.

"Well, it's only luck that I had a fairly rich client," she said. "He told me I'd get a fairly large tip if I finished the job early, so yeah, I'm sort of rich now."

They both laughed. "Why don't you come with me for a second," he said, backing away and leading her through the line of trailers.

"Alright; what's your next surprise?" she said, rolling her eyes and following him anyway.

"Marlene, this is Francesco Bernoulli," he said, and a red, white and green formula turned around at the sound of his name.

"Ah, Lightning McQueen," he said solemnly in an Italian accent. "What now? You come here to insult me more?"

"No, no, I was just going to introduce you to my friend, Marlene Stevenson," Lightning said, then turned to Marlene. "Marlene, this is Francisco Bernoulli, the Italian formula racecar."

"Oh," she said. "Hello." She smiled as Francesco turned to her.

But instead of replying, his expression was quite…awed. She turned around, looking in the general direction he was looking at, then turned back, quite puzzled. But as she turned to look at him, he'd moved closer with a flirty smile on his face.

"Hello there," he said gently.

Marlene backed away in disgust. At least Lightning had gone off to tend to the press.

"Don't tell me you're one of those cars who try and flirt to catch a girl then have a tryst?" she said with unveiled disgust.

Francesco was taken aback. "Wha-? No, no, that's not what—"

"It looked like it," she hissed. "I'm sorry; I'm not interested in a car that does such." With that, she drove away.

"Marlena, wait!" The Italian formula drove after her.

She turned on him. "My name is not Marlena," she spat angrily, and she turned away.

"Please wait and listen!" he called after her, but he was blocked by fangirls.

She drove on and on until she found the team. "Hey guys," she said sullenly.

"Marlene, what happened?" Filmore asked.

"Some Italian racecar tried to woo me," she murmured.

"Francesco Bernoulli?" Luigi said.

"Yeah." She looked away. "I'm going home. I'm sure Lightning would want to say hi to Sally," she said, and drove away.

But she felt herself tingle as she saw his face again behind closed eyes. She shook herself and drove on to the NOTE: Alright, this is the first chapter of the sequel to My Best Friend. ^-^ I hope you liked it~ 3 Do note that the race at Porto Corsa is NOT a part of the World Grand Prix, or that this chapter has anything to do with the World Grand Prix! D8 This happened after Cars 2, so please spare me~
