Summary- It's been about a year or two since lightning and Mack have arrived into Radiator Springs. The little town is busier than ever and new friends are being made, but the same group still remain best of friends.
But more starts to occur as Sarge bumps into his old best friend from the army, an M715 named Christina, or Chris for short. The longer she stays at Radiator Springs, the more Sarge realizes how much he feels for her, but little do both Sarge AND Chris know that she will fall for a different vehicle..or to be more specific, a big rig by the name of Mack. sarge/oc, Mack/oc
I suck at summaries... XP
.........
It was a bright and early morning at the little town of Radiator Springs, but that still didn't stop travelers from stopping by. All the cars who have lived there for years, Sally, Ramone, Flo, Sarge, Fillmore, Red, Lizzie, Doc, Sheriff, Guido, Luigi, Mater and even Lightning and Mack, were all up and ready for the busy day ahead of them. Flo was already in her V8 café
with the help of the Mazda Miatas, Mia and Tia, who had become waitresses there. Ramone also had quite the customers himself, giving at least a couple dozen paint jobs a day! All the other cars had their fair share of customers as well, except for Sarge. Sure he got a few cars here and there, but not enough to even come close to the others. It upset him to the greatest, but he did his best to hide the fact that he was ticked and sad.
"Dang cars..who needs army surplus anyway?" He said as he looked out of his shop window towards the crowd of cars and trucks. Nobody really needed army surplus. Nobody needed it. Thoughts about shutting the store down flooded his mind from day to day, but something inside him told him to keep it up. He was a strong fellow, and would follow his instincts no matter what. Of course, being in the wars and army really helped out.
Sighing, he turned around and exited his store, deciding to take a small drive out of town for once.
After driving around to random places for about a half-hour, he decided that he'd go back to Radiator Springs.
He began to pick up speed a bit, exceeding the speed limit by only five miles an hour, which didn't seem like much. About another ten minutes later, he arrived at a sharp turn which led into the small town. He could already see cars spilling in and out of it.
Everything seemed to happen so fast right then and there. As soon as he turned, another vehicle at turned to leave, causing an 'almost head-on collision' between the two.
"Hey! Watch it why don'tcha!" Sarge yelled at the other car, who he still didn't get a good look at.
"Why don't you watch where your going old man!" A female's voice responded.
Sarge's glare turned into a stare as he looked at the truck before him. She was an m715 military jeep. A military truck. A beautiful military truck in his eyes.
He shook his head and glared no more, coming to his senses, "I'm sorry, miss." He said, now fully respecting this truck.
"It's...it's no problem." She replied with a slight smile. "Wait, are you Sarge?"
"Yes, I am." He replied.
"Oh, some cars told me that they saw you went out for a drive when I stopped by at your store." She explained. "I thought I'd be able to find you. I was interested in some things inside."
"Oh, yes. Come right in, show me what you like and I'll get it ready if you were planning on buying anything." He replied, trying to sound as nice as possible, especially to such a woman.
"Yea, I saw a couple things." She chuckled slightly as she followed him back to the store. Finally, when they reached inside, she began to show him exactly what she wanted. He got everything put in boxes for her since some things for fragile, and she thanked him before turning to leave.
Before she even had the chance to exit the door, a million thoughts zoomed into his head. how could he let a beautiful vehicle like that just drive away? He'd probably never see her again, and it's very rare to find cars and trucks who look half as good as her, he thought. Not only that, but she seemed awfully familiar..something about her... Suddenly he snapped back into reality and didn't even think before he spoke.
"Um, excuse me." He called.
She stopped and turned herself around. "Yes?"
He had to think of what to say.."Y...wh-would-would you mind if I asked you for your name?" He suddenly blurted.
She smiled and blushed slightly. "Christina Jeep."
If he could, he would have kicked himself! That's why she looked so familiar! He knew her! Way back a long time ago they were close friends in the army!
"C-c-c-hris? Is that you?" He said, almost speechless.
It took her a while to absorb what was happening, and when she got it, her eyes went wide and her mouth hung open a bit, "Sarge! How could I not have remembered!" She quickly drove over to him and hugged him.
He gladly leaned into her. Hell, it wasn't everyday a pretty woman hugged somebody like him.
"What's been goin' on lately? I haven't seen you since waaay back in the day!" She laughed.
He shrugged and smiled, "Nothing really has changed with me except now I own this here store, and live here with my friends."
She nodded as she listened, "I still can't believe it's you." She laughed.
"You look good." He blurted.
She blushed slightly, "Thanks."
Things seemed to go quiet. The crowed outside could barely be heard even though there were a lot of cars.
"Umm.." Chris began, trying to end the silence, "So, I was planning on staying at the Cozy Cone, but there's no vacancy there.."
"W-well, if you want, I have a spare room here in the store. Think of it as a guest room." Sarge offered quickly.
"Really? That'd be great!" Chris agreed.
"Great, I'll get it set up then." He said before quickly turning around to go fix up the small guest room.
"Thanks." She replied, smiling at him.
"Sarge, maaan, everybody's at Flo's taking a break in a few hours, you should stop by then, man." Fillmore suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"I-I'll be down, hippie!" Sarge replied as he came out of the room.
Fillmore nodded and left the building.
"Still the same old Sarge." Chris laughed.
"Shut your mouth, Jeep." He said jokingly with a wink.
She laughed and shook her head. "Let's go down to Flo's and get a drink later. I've gotta do some unpacking."
Sarge agreed and the two of them drove down to get a drink that day a few hours later. It was late, and nobody else was there except those who lived there.
"Hey! Sarge has finally found himself the right chick!" Ramone joked as he noticed the M715.
"Shove a tire in it!" Sarge said with warning in his voice.
Chris tried to hold in her laughs.
"Who is she anyway? Introduce us!" Lightning said with a grin.
"Hello, I'm Christina, but you can call me Chris." She introduced herself to everybody.
Everybody replied with warm and welcoming 'hello's' and 'hey's'.
"I'm an old friend of Sarge's." She added.
"Are you staying around anywhere?" Sally asked.
"Actually," Sarge interrupted, "She's currently staying at my store with me."
Suddenly he realized he had said the wrong thing, because everybody looked around at eachother, all thinking the same thing.
"Wehl shewwwt! Looks like Sarge'as got heemself a girlfran'!" Mater suddenly shouted among the silence.
"Mater! Will you shut UP? Christina is NOT my girlfriend! We are NOT together!" Sarge snapped.
"Easy on him, Sarge." Chris said when she saw Mater's sad expression.
Sarge's engine cooled down as he gave her an apologetic look.
"Aw, is okay, miss Chris." Mater said with a smile.
"I...I have some business to attend to." Sarge mumbled as he drove off back to his store.
"Anyway," Ramone cut the silence, "Ay baby, I'm Ramone." He winked at her and she blushed, laughing.
Flo rolled her eyes and laughed, "Ramone, Ramone, what am I ever gonna do with you? I'm Flo." She looked at Chris.
"I am-a Luigi! And this-a is my partner, Guido!" Luigi and Guido drove forward and greeted her.
"Hello." Chris greeted back.
"And we have Red over there." Sally said, pointing a tire at the big fire truck, "Lizzie, Sheriff, Fillmore, Lightning, Mack, Doc and I'm Sally."
"It's nice to meet you all." Chris looked around at everyone and smile.
"So, what's up with Sarge?" Lightning raised an eye ridge.
"He's gettin' old, man." Ramone said and shrugged.
"Nah, he's just...lonely I guess." Chris sighed.
"Aren't we all?" Sheriff chuckled.
"You can't find a lady anyway, dude." Ramone laughed.
"You wanna bet, accent boy?" Came Sheriff's lame response.
"Ay, man, my accent is the sexiest thing you've ever heard, copper!" Ramone replied with a laugh.
"Mhm." Flo agreed and gave him a grin.
"I'm..I'm gonna go check on Sarge." Chris said as she turned to leave. "Be back in a minute."
Chris pulled into Sarge's store and looked around. No sign of him. She decided he might be in the guest room, and he was. He was on the bed, looking down upon a picture.
"You ok?" She asked, startling him.
"Wha!?--Oh, yeah, I'm fine." He sighed.
Chris pulled up next to him and looked down at the picture.
"That's me and you." She smiled. It was when they were in the army together. "In the good ol' days."
He sighed and returned the smile. "To be honest, I miss it."
"A lot has changed." Chris agreed.
"Too much." His saddened eyes pierced into her own. "We split apart for years. I didn't know where to find you."
"Why were you looking for me?" She asked.
"We were best friends. I couldn't just let you go." He admitted, looking back down at the picture.
Chris sighed, smiled and leaned against him. He seemed startled by her reaction.
"At least I was always in your heart, right?" She said with a laugh.
"That wasn't enough." He said, becoming calmer.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I never actually got to tell you...Oh, never mind. It's just stupid." He chuckled, but hurt deep inside.
"What? Tell me." She replied, looking up at him.
"No, I told you. Stupid." He said, shaking his head.
"Sarge, whatever you have to say, I guarantee it isn't stupid. You aren't stupid." She told him. "Just tell me what you gotta."
"Just never mind." He sighed. "It's getting late. I'm gonna go to bed."
"A-alright." Chris replied, sounding a bit disappointed.
Sarge noticed this and turned around to face her. "G'night." After that, he quickly sped up to her, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good night." She replied with a smile.
