Chapter 1

This story contains graphic and freighting scenes, not for the faint hearted!

It was a calm day in Radiator Springs, and today was a special day! It was Lightning McQueen's birthday.

All the Radiator Springs residents have gathered at Flo's Café for a special surprise for Lightning.

'Where is he?' asked Sheriff.

'Yeah, we've been here for over an hour' complained Mater.

'Don't worry guys he'll be here soon' Sally said jokingly.

'You said that ten minutes ago, Sally' Sheriff said in an un-amused tone.

'Wait…I see him, quick everyone act normal' Shouted Flo.

Everyone quickly dashed to there spot in the Café, and watched Lightning approach.

'Morning everyone' Lightning said happily.

'Morning Lightning' everyone said in unison.

'Hey Stickers' Sally said in a loving tone, giving him a kiss. 'How are you?'

'I'm great, and you know why?' Lightning said happily.

'Of course, guys?' Sally said looking round to everyone.

'Happy Birthday' Everyone shouted together. Then from behind all the Buildings appeared many of Lightning's friends including Junior, RPM, Nitroade, Leak Less, Darrel Cartrip, Bob Cutlass, and of course 'The King' Strip Weathers.

Strip made his way over to Lightning.

'Hey buddy, happy birthday' Strip said smiling.

'Aww, thank you Mr. The King' Lightning said smiling back.

'Please, call me Strip, I'm retired now remember?' Strip said with a smirk on his face.

'Of course, and thank you all, all of you' 'I'm…speechless' Lightning said looking like he was about to cry.

Sally pulled up alongside him and nuzzled him.

'Hey, fancy a drink?' Sally asked Lightning.

'Sure' Lightning said giving Sally a kiss. Everyone then drove into Flo's for a nice deserved drink.

Little did Lightning know.

Little did anyone know that Lightning's birthday, would be one to remember.

Or would it?

Bit short I know, but it will get longer!

Let me know what you think so far!
