Here we go. A retelling of Forbidden Friendship, but better. It's still humanized, but only because there are some parts I want to keep ahahahha
This was originally a roleplay done on tumblr. It's better than new!
Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell were granted a small vacation, in which they chose to spend with Mater at Radiator Springs.
"Twenty minutes until landing, sir." Siddeley spoke through the intercom.
"Thank you, Siddeley." The elder agent replied, then sighed, as he looked to the younger one beside him. "What do you suppose Mater has planned for us this time?"
"I imagine more 'tractor tipping'." She replied, turning to him. "Don't you remember how much fun you had last time? I almost thought you were going to-"
Finn gave her a look that made Holley go quiet and muffle a laugh. "Oh, yes. I remember it vividly now." He gave a small smile.
Siddeley soon landed in the dust just outside the town and powered down the jet.
"I gotta care for the jet." Siddeley said. "You go on."
"Alright." Finn said. They entered the town and were greeted by none other than Mater.
"Holley! Finn! Ya made it!" Mater greeted, bumping Finn's shoulder with his fist.
"Hello, Mater. Nice to see you again." Finn said. "Do you have anything planned for our time here?"
"Well, I's hopin' ya guys could go cow tippin' with me an' McQueen tonight!"
Finn sighed. "I don't know about that, Mater. We almost died last time, remember?"
"Oh.." Mater hesitated. "Wait, what's that thing ya always say? 'Ya always feel more alive when yer never dead'?"
Finn sighed and smiled at Mater's wrong wording. "You never feel more alive than when you're almost dead." He corrected.
"So? What'ya think? Can ya go? Er are ya chicken?" Mater walked backwards around them, imitating chicken noises.
Finn chuckled a little at his taunting. "We'll think about it, Mater. Alright?"
Mater's smile widened. "Alright!" He said, running off. The tow of them continued to walk and headed to Flo's cafe. The color of red caught Finn's eye. Finn took a double take. A man a bit younger than Finn with a red suit was walking down the side of the road. No, it couldn't be him! He had been crushed in his car three years ago. He looked closer. Same light blue eyes, dark red hair, black tie.
"L-Leland Turbo?" Finn asked out loud. This caught Holley's attention.
The man looked at who said his name. "Yes, that's me. Who are you?"
Finn frowned. "A Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has no radiator."
"That's because it's air cooled." He walked up to Finn. "I work for C.H.R.O.M.E too but I've never seen you around before."
This caught Finn off guard. "Finn McMissile, British Intelligence. How do you not know me? We were in espionage training since the way beginning. We were best friends!"
"I don't remember." Leland protested.
Finn looked hurt. "How are you alive? I saw you! You had been crushed by the Lemons!"
"I was told that I was recloned and one of the agents told me I lost some of my memory... the rest is classified. I need to go. Good day." Leland said and walked past Finn.
Finn watched him go. There was no denying the confusion on his face. "Please tell me I am not imagining this." he muttered to Holley.
"I saw him too, Finn." she said. "And C.H.R.O.M.E cloned him?"
"It is very odd. I wouldn't think of Cooper doing such a thing, let alone acquiring such technology." He ran after Leland.
"Wait a minute!" Finn called out. "Don't you want to know what you've forgotten? For instance, me?"
Leland heard Finn behind him and admittedly felt a tad uncomfortable. He spun around and grabbed his gun from his belt. He aimed it at Finn.
"You'd better watch yourself. Listen, I don't know you. C.H.R.O.M.E. would've told me who you were if you were for the agency." He said to Finn.
Finn was taken back from the gun but still urged on. "Maybe they didn't know what you had forgotten! You did say that an agent said you lost 'some' of your memory."
"You're just a C.H.R.O.M.E. agent like I am. How could you possibly know if they do or not?" He asked, standing his ground but lowering the gun a little.
"They know we've been friends and perfect partners. I-I'm just trying to help you, Leland."
Leland put his gun back on his belt. "Well, I'm sorry I can't remember you but, try asking C.H.R.O.M.E." Leland suggested. "Maybe they can help you. I'm heading back myself." Leland walked to his red Jaguar a little ways away and drove back onto the road and away.
Finn looked to Holley who had come up behind him. "I know we just arrived, but I need to get back to the agency and sort this out. Something isn't right."
"I'll stay here and keep Mater busy. I'm sure that will make him just as happy." Holley smiled.
"I'll be back hopefully soon. Siddeley? I need to go back to C.H.R.O.M.E." Finn announced, walking to Sid's jet.
"But Finn, what for? We just got here for a break!" Sid protested.
"Leland is back but he doesn't remember me. I don't know if he even remembers you. We need to go back and inquire about his memory loss."
"Leland? You mean Leland Turbo? Maybe if he remembers me I can get him to remember you! Or, at least tell him he used to know you. Well, hop on!" Sid said. He opened and let down the stairs for Finn to climb up.
"That's what I'm hoping!" Finn said as he entered the jet. Sid started the engines and took off into the sky.
"So tell me, how did he come back to life?" Sid asked through Finn's radio. "This is all so exciting yet confusing for me to comprehend everything."
"He said he was recloned and got his memory back but he also said that an agent told him he had lost some of it, which I'm guessing C.H.R.M.O.M.E cloned him. However, he didn't remember me at all."
"Finn, trust me. We'll get his memory back. We'll enjoy the upcoming days just like we've done all those years ago as kids. Don't worry about a thing."
"I hope you are right, Sid." He sighed.
They soon arrived at C.H.R.O.M.E headquarters and Finn headed straight for the Head's office. "Cooper?" Finn asked, knocking on the door and appearing in the doorway. "You know about Leland Turbo, right?"
"Pardon?" Cooper asked, looking up from a paper. "McMissile, what are you doing here?"
"Sir, listen. I know we left for Arizona, but Leland Turbo was there and he said he was recloned and worked here. Do you know anything about that?"
Cooper stood up. "Turbo? Leland Turbo? McMissile, I assure you I have no knowledge of this act. You know me. I'm not one for surprises with work related topics." He paused before replying. "Where is he now?"
"He told me before leaving he had to come back here and left for his assigned jet I assume." Finn replied. "I had no idea whether or not C.H.R.O.M.E had such technology for replication."
"We don't." Cooper said, his tone becoming serious. "Yes, we do have a lab but cloning has never been practiced here. I do not encourage it. How far do you think he is?"
"I am unsure about that. Siddeley and I left immediately upon hearing he was heading back here."
"Good. I will put the place on possible lockdown and alert the guards. If the guards catch anything awry with him he will be seized."
"Understood. Siddeley and I will be waiting in the main hall." Finn ended that note by leaving the office and catching up with Siddeley just now coming towards him.
"If you see Turbo enter the building, radio me at once." Cooper radioed Finn. Finn acknowledged his call.
OOOhHH boy I can already tell this will be better than the first fic. The old fic will be deleted shortly after I pass the part where I stopped. So read (or to save your sanity, don't read) the fanfic before it's gone!
