"I wish me and Lighnin' was in different bodies so I could tell him and it wouldnt be a big complicated mess... and we could be back again for his race..."
It was amazing that a few simple words would turn out so crazy.
A loud scream echoed around Radiator Springs as Lightning McQueen awoke, face down on the ground. That isn't what shocked him though. What shocked him, and resulted in him screaming, is he was in the form of something that had been extinct for years upon years. A human.
He was surprised he even knew what he was as he stumbled to his feet. He was also surprised to see that he was fully clothed, in a Red and Black jacket, and Black jans with a white stripe down the side, with words inside it that read 'Lightyear'.
"the brand of my tires" he mumbled
His shoes were bright white with black bottoms, and he gulped as he put out a hand to steady himself against the wall and tried to catch his breath.
"this is not good" he rasped to himself "not good at all. Oh not good not good" he stood straight in terror "I have a race in three days!" he hissed "I can't be like this! Oh no!" he sunk back to the floor and put his head in his newly aquired hands.
After quite some time he figured he should get up and go see Mater. His best friend would know how to fix this. So he snuck out of his cone, and ran as fast as he could, which was infuriatingly slow. He scowled at the pace, sighing in relief when he crashed into Mater's yard and had gone unseen.
He was mildly surprised he had even managed to control the gangly limbs know as legs, but pushed that to the back of his mind as he called for his best friend.
"Mater?"
"Lightning?" came a response
Lightning turned to where the voice came from and almost dropped in shock when there was another human standing in front of him.
Lightning gulped.
"M-Mater?"
The man nodded
"Lightning is that you?" Mater examined the man, taking in his outfit and then his shining blue eyes and blonde hair. Lightning gulped and nodded.
Lightning finally shook noff his shock and examined Mater. The newly human tow truck was wearing light brown pants, black shoes, and a dark brown vest with a white long sleeve shirt under it, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His hair was brown as well, as were his shining brown eyes. Last but not least he had a brown hat sitting atop his head.
Lightning sighed
"is anybody else like this?"
Mater shook his head
"no. They're all still cars" Lightning was nodding "look, Lightning, I need to tells you somefin'"
"Can it wait Mater? We should go talk to the others"
"yes... okay" Mater sighed and allowed his friend to lead the way out of his shack and into the town.
