"Mornin' everyone!" Mater says as he pulls into Flo's V8 café.
"Mornin' Mater," say the cars of Radiator Springs, home to world famous racecar Lightning McQueen.
"Hey Mater, you hear from Holley lately?" Sally, the town attorney and girl friend to Lightning McQueen, says.
"Mm… no not lately. Y'know how it is. I'm a Tow Truck in a little ol' town on Route 66 and she's a world-class British spy… Kinda hard to stay in touch n all that. She still owes me that first date though!"
Lightning laughs, "Yeah. Hey maybe sometime when Holley gets a chance you, me, Sally, and her can all go on a double date. What d'ya say? Drive in on me. I think they're showing The Incredimobiles right now."
"Dadgum! That sounds purty fine!"
"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Sally says.
"Hey, do any of y'all hear that beeping noise…?" Mater asks. The townscars quiet down and sure enough, they all hear a faint beeping that seems to be coming closer and closer until…
"Ow! What n'da-" Mater says as a small round object hits his roof and falls to the pavement in front of him. "What da world…?" he says as he rolls closer to the object.
"Voice key correct." a female sounding computer voice says from the small metallic object. The ball opens up and projects an image of Holley Shiftwell into the air in front of Mater.
"Hey it's Miss Holley! Howdy Holley!" Mater says
"Hello Mater. Sorry I couldn't talk to you personally, but Finn and I are just wrapping up our latest case. Clean up and all that. Well, I was wondering if we were still on for our first date," the recorded message of Holley says and then flashes a smile. "If you're up for it here are the coordinates for you to meet me at…" the holographic projection of Holley disappears for a moment, replaced by a set of coordinates. "I hope to see you there Mater. Cheers!" The metallic device closes up and the hologram disappears.
"Dadgum! I got my first date with Miss Holly! Yehaw!" Mater exclaims and starts to drive backwards around the entire town to show his excitement.
Lightning and the rest of the residents chuckle, knowing how over excited Mater can get. A few minutes later, Mater has calmed down and Sally is helping him to book his flight.
"Right. Now what were those coordinates again?" Sally asks Mater. Mater tells her and she enters the numbers into her computer at the Cozy Cone Motel. "Ooh, Germany. Nice place for a date," Sally says and winks at McQueen. "Ok, let's see… Flights to Germany… Here we go!" Sally then buys and prints out Mater's ticket for Germany.
"Mater… are you sure you don't want anyone to come along?" Lightning asks, remembering the trouble that Mater had gotten into the last time he traveled internationally. Of course, that was how he met Holley.
"Shoot no buddy! Y'need ta get some rest 'fore the racin' season starts up 'gain. 'Sides, I can handle this- ya got no need t' worry."
"Ok…" Lightning says and gives Mater a small smile. "Well, you better get going if you're gonna catch your flight."
Mater looks at the clock on the wall and says, "Dadgum you're right! Hey computer, rockets if ya will!"
"Voice key acknowledged." From the back of his flat bed, two rockets come up, a leftover of his adventure around the world with Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell.
"See ya soon everyone!" Mater says and then starts up his rocket boosters and speeds towards the airport. "Yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaw!"
Sally notices that Lighting is wearing a nervous look on his face. "Don't worry Stickers, Mater can handle himself."
Lighting sighs, "I know, but…"
"But what?"
"I don't know… I'm just worried that he's gonna get hurt because of Holley being a spy and all…"
"You mean like you almost did?"
Lightning looks embarrassed and gets redder, if that's possible, and says "Well… yeah."
"Don't worry honey. He's got good friends to back him up."
"Yeah…I guess so."
At the airport, events go pretty smoothly for Mater the tow truck. The flight goes well, but he does feel a little lonely as he has never flown alone before.
Oh well… Mater thinks, Soon I'll be on my first date with Miss Holley though! A lil waitin' never hurt no one. Dadgum I can't wait!
After checking in at customs, Mater gets on the road, using a GPS that Sarge lent him to make his way to his rendezvous will Holley. The GPS takes him to a remote mountain, covered in snow. The GPS beeps and tells him that he has arrived at his destination. Mater looks around, hoping to see Holley somewhere in the snow. To his clear disappointment, she hasn't arrived yet.
Mater turns up his heat and says, "Well, I sure do hope Holley comes soon. It sure is awful cold out here."
Suddenly, a trap door opens directly under Mater and he is sent tumbling down a dark tunnel to an unknown destination.
He screams, to no avail, "Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!"
The doors bang shut above him as he descends. After what seems like an eternity of falling, Mater lands with a loud crash onto a hard, cold concrete floor. He opens his eyes, which he had closed during the decent, and looks around. The room is dimly lit. Mater can just make out the shape of two cars in the shadows.
"Good," says one of the cars with a German accent, "The American spy has arrived."
"Brilliant," comes another masculine voice from the other car, speaking with an English accent, "Now, we can begin our plans…"
Slowly, four panels rise to enclose a very frightened Mater. A fifth panel drops from the ceiling above. From the floor, green fumes start to appear. Remembering last time, in Porto Corsa, Mater tries to hold his breath, but the noxious fumes knock him out.
A/N- While this may be my first fan fiction posted on the site, I've actually written several that I hope to share. Tell me what you think and please let me know if I got the rating wrong. Thanks for reading!
