Ok, so this is a romance/drama Salqueen story I've been wanting to write for a while. It has no connection to my other story, as it is a separate story centered around lightning and Sally. Humanized also. Fair warning: This will be a kindly sad fanfic in which a character will die. I will not say which character, but a character from the original Cars film. So no Cars 2 characters, as this takes place before cars 2 but after cars 1. Rated T for, as I said, character death, some language. Enjoy. Reviews would be appreciated.

Lightning and Sally had been together for almost three years. Their love was at its strongest point, and they both new it.

Lightning (or "Stickers" as Sally calls him) especially new it.

He'd known it for over two and a half years.

He knew he was finally ready.

Ready to do it.

Ready to propose.

Sally had been dreaming of this day ever since they almost kissed at the Wheel Well Motel after the tiebreaker Piston Cup Race back in 2006, when she just knew the both of them were meant to be.

It seemed as if the both of them knew exactly what each of them was thinking.

With Lightning being as ready as ever to propose to Sally, the previous week he had went out to purchase the most beautiful ring he could afford for Sally. He just knew this would all play out perfectly...Or did he?

Sorry it's so short, but it's only the first chapter, the next will be quite longer. Anyway, let me know what you think. I'll continue the story if I get some decent reviews, and even if not I'll still continue it. :)

Take Care
