Phone Call
Welcome to my newest Cars fan fiction! I hope that you all will enjoy this story! Now we won't meet Hillary until either the next chapter or chapter 3 depending on the length I make it and what I want to do.
Special thanks to MereMcQueen314 for helping me when I had writers block! You rock Mere! And to my awesome sister, Emma, for suffering through my craziness! Love you, sis!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the recognizable characters that rightfully belong to the Disney and Pixar companies. The only characters I own, are Raine, Windy, Storm, Molley, Danney, and Hillary. To see what These characters look like, check out my DeviantArt page under Buddygirl1004. So far I only have Raine and Molley up. And I'm gonna edit Molley's cause I want her to look a little bit more like her daddy! Oh, and sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm writing this on my iPhone and it doesn't always get things right.
Anyways, on with chapter 1!
Words: 1,625
It was a quite mid summer day in Radiator Springs, Arizona. The small town had just hit its low tourists peak since cars did not dare to drive in the hot summer heat. This low point in tourists was actually welcomed with open wheels (open arms, ya get it?) to the residents who had become over swamped with tourists since the town had been placed on the map.
All was peaceful in the McQueen house, unless of course, if you don't count the ruckus of one ten and one eleven year old girl that came in the form of giggles that was coming from one Raine McQueen's bedroom.
Inside Raine's bedroom were two giggling cars. One a deep shade of purple, the other a smooth blue hue. The purple car was Raine Salena McQueen, the other was Molley Holley Shiftwell, who was Raine's best friend.
"I totally think that Danney likes you!" Giggled Molley. Danney was her twin brother. They looked exactly alike but with the only difference that Danney had their father's front end, while Molley looked just like their mom but with their dad's colouring and rear view mirrors.
Raine rolled her eyes but a deep shade of rouge could clearly be seen on her cheeks. "Are you sure?" Raine asked her best friend, eyeing her closely.
"Have I ever lied to you, Raine?" Molley asked in a sincere voice.
"Well," Raine pondered, touching her bottom lip with her tire, "Now that I think about it, there were numerous times that you did, indeed, lie to me." She said with a cheeky grin.
"But those were good lies." Molley responded with a roll of her green eyes.
Raine was about to respond when the phone began to ring. She rolled out of her room and to the phone that was placed into the hall. She hit the answer button with her left tire and spoke, "Hello, McQueen Residence, this is Raine speaking." she said.
"Good morning, Miss McQueen." Said the unmistakable voice of Harv.
"Good morning, Harv." Raine replied.
"Can you get your dad for me? Its business." he said, driving straight to the point.
"Yea, hold on a second while I go get him." Raine replied while she rolled down the hall to her parents bedroom.
She slowly drove in and made her way to her dad's side of the mattress.
"Daddy." Raine called out in a quiet voice so as to not wake up her mother or her sister. She tapped his side lightly with her wheel, "Daddy."
"Whot?" Lightning replied in a groggily voice as he opened up his windshield and eyeing his oldest daughter. There was another small yawn next to him that belonged to Raine's little sister, Windy.
Lightning turned his head to look at his little girl, "Shhh." he cooed, not wanting to wake up his wife in fear of her hormonal wrath.
"Harv is on the phone, he says its business." Raine replied, backing up so that her dad could get out of bed.
"Okay, thanks sweetie." he replied before rolling out of his room and to the phone while Raine went back into her room.
"No, Mum, we're fine." Molley was saying. Being the daughter of an international spy, Molley was always equipped with the latest stuff that her mom could make for her, or if Holley couldn't give her daughter the technology, Molley would build it herself.
"Hi, Mrs. Shiftwell!" Raine called out when she rolled next to Molley.
Molley gave her a pointed glare and a roll of her eyes before she continued her conversation with her mother.
"Why can't I drive home by myself, mum? I'm 10! It's just on the other side of town." Molley asked in a defeated sigh. Molley looked at her best friend and formed words with her lips and an expression, similar to her mothers, and mocked her.
Raine had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing at her best friend.
Molley gave a defeated sigh, "Okay, mum. Love you, too." she said before she disconnected.
"Mothers!" she said in a exasperated voice.
"Tell me about them!" Raine said, "At least yours isn't pregnant." she said and the two girls broke out into giggles.
There was a knock at the door and the sound of Lightning's voice called out, "Can I come in?" he asked.
"Yea, daddy!" Raine replied.
Lightning rolled through the swinging purple door and entered his daughter's room.
"Did you girls get any sleep last night?" he asked them as they gave each other sideways glances and irrupted into giggles.
"I'll take that as a no." Lightning replied, then turned to Molley.
"Do you have someone picking you up, Molley?" Lightning asked.
"Yea, Dad's coming to get me. Mum won't let me drive into town by myself." Molley said.
"And she's right about that. It's summer, you could easily get lost or get sunstroke."
"Thats what Mum said." Molley said with a roll of her eyes.
Raine looked at her friend and shifted her gaze to her father, "So what did Harv want?" she asked.
"Oh, he's coming into town and wanted to know if there was a room available at headquarters for him and his sister to stay in." he explained to his daughter.
"I didn't know Harv had a sister." Raine said.
"Yea, Hillary. She's always wanted to visit Radiator Springs." Lightning replied.
There was a knock at the door, "That would be your dad, Molley." Lightning said, going out of the room and towards the front door.
Molley and Raine followed behind Lightning as he went to go open the door.
"Hey Mater, hey Danney." Lightning greeted the two cars.
"Mornin', Buddy!" Mater greeted.
"Mornin', Uncle Lightning." Danney replied in the same accent as his father.
Lightning chuckled, "Morning you two. "You want a cup of coffee, Mater?"
"Yea, I'd love some." Mater said and he and his son rolled into the McQueen residence.
The two older cars rolled into the kitchen and the three tween cars rolled into the living room.
"Morning, Raine." Danney said, a slight rogue on his blue metal.
"Hey, Danney." Raine replied with a smile.
Before anyone could speak, Sally came driving into the living room, Windy next to her.
Windy had her mother's front end but her dads rear end. She was the same blue hue as her mother.
"Morning, Raine!" Windy said in her breezy voice as she rolled up to her big sister. Windy was five years old and very advanced for her age. "Hey Molley, Danney." she greeted her older sisters friends.
Sally smiled at the three kids, "Morning guys." she greeted, and looked at her eldest daughter, "Raine, where's your dad?" she asked.
"In the kitchen with Uncle Mater drinking coffee." Raine replied.
"Mmm coffee...a few more weeks and you will be mine once more." Sally sighed. "Thanks, Raine." she said before rolling towards the kitchen, her undercarriage nearly touching the floor and her sides blown out.
Raine smiled at her mother as she drove into the kitchen.
*10 minutes later (because I really couldn't think of anything to write here.*
With a final goodbye, Mater and the Shiftwell twins drove out of the McQueen house, that was situated a little ways down the road from Lightning's racing headquarters.
"Dad, can we go now? Please? You promised!" Raine asked a few minutes after her best friend left.
"Yes, I know I promised you, let me finish this cup of coffee before we do anything else." Lightning said as he drank the last gulp of coffee.
He turned to his wife, "Now if anything happens, just call me, okay sweetie." Lightning said.
"Don't worry, Lightning, we'll be fine." Sally assured her husband.
"I hope so. I love you." he said, rolling
In for a kiss, which his wife returned.
"Love you too, stickers." Sally replied.
Lightning lowered himself on his wheels and spoke to Windy, "Be good for mommy, okay Windy." He said in a fatherly tone.
"I will, daddy!" Windy said, kissing her dad on the cheek.
"Let's go, daddy!" Raine said in an excited voice, already driving out of the house.
"Like father, like daughter." Sally said with a giggle as Lightning drove after his daughter.
