Pain, that's all Melissa could feel. It pulsated throughout her chest, it was so painful that she couldn't move. Next she felt intense heat, and behind her closed eyelids she saw hints of red, indicating some sort of light. Slowly, Melissa opened her eyes only to be met by a blaring light hitting them. She closed her eyes again when her eyes hurt, then reopened them and squinted against the bright light.
Melissa had then gained the ability to move her limbs, first moving the tips of her fingers, feeling what felt like dirt. She then moved her toes, then arms, and last of all her legs. They were all fine. Her next move was to stand up, thats if she could. Her attempt had failed, a surge of pain radiating though her body screamed for her to stop. But it was all too much for Melissa, as she soon faded into unconsciousness.
It was a seemingly quite late morning for the residents in a small town of Radiator Springs. In-habited by friendly smiles and endless chatting about. Lightning McQueen, a rookie in the racing industry, settled down next to his dearly beloved Sally underneath the awning at Flo's Cafe. Everyone had slowly gathered around Flo's for some fuel, the greenish-teal car gladly served them her finest cans of fuel.
The cars continued to chat to one another, sipping on their drinks. Lightning smiled, he looked over to Sally, and she smiled back.
"Now that the season for racing is finished, we have to be stuck around you all the time, Stickers." Sally tried to make a joke, Lightning then softly laughing to himself.
"Well I can't see why you wouldn't want me around." He smirked, feeling cocky. Sally rolled her eyes and took a sip of her fuel.
Meanwhile, a tow-truck was just waking up. He then rolled outside onto the road heading towards Flo's. Suddenly, he heard a groan behind him. The rusty truck stopped, slowly turning around. To his fright, he saw an alien on the ground, moaning. Mater screamed and bolted towards Flo's. The group of cars nestled underneath the awning heard Mater scream as he came to a screeching halt, he was panting as his heart was going a hundred miles per hour.
"Mater? Are you ok?" Lightning asked, rolling slowly up to Mater.
"No! I dad gum saw an a-alien!" Mater told him, a scared look plastered on his face, "It was moanin' and groanin' an' it looked like it was 'bout to eat me!"
"Mater, you're probably over exaduratin' again." Sheriff tried to reason with the tow truck, but Mater still looked scared out of his mind, "I might've been an animal or somethin'."
Mater, still had a frightened look on his front bumper, "Well if you guys don't believe me, I'm gonna have ta prove it for myself."
The truck had managed to get everyone to where the thing was, keeping a safe distance of course. Mater pointed a tire to the lying heap on the road, "See? I dad gum told ye! It's an alien from outer space!"
Everyone had glanced at each other, then back to the supposed alien he was talking about. Since it was late in the morning, cars would soon be driving on the road. Which could be a problem if the thing is in the middle of the road.
"This could be serious, we need to get Doc down here," Sarge said as he drove off to to fetch Doc Hudson. The others were mumbling about with each other, each posing theories on what the creature could really be.
"I might be with Sheriff on this one, amigo." Ramone told Mater, "It might even be an animal after all."
"Well, we'll never know until Doc knows." Mater replied, eyeing the creature cautiously. Eventually, Doc had rolled up with Sarge.
"Do you have any idea what it could be, Doc?" Sarge asked. Doc, curiously rolled closer, he crept with caution. He was then within a few feet from the creature. He was at a close range to at least get a decent look of the thing. He sighed, then turned to the others.
"I think I might be just an animal of some sort, don't know what it could really be until I get it to the clinic." Doc concluded. The others sighed then departed to do their usual thing, the animal thing still lingering in the back of their minds.
Sheriff decided to stay with Doc, incase he needed any help with it. They didn't know how to take it to the clinic, an option is to drag the thing. This is where Mater would come in handy.
"Mater!" Doc called over to him, the tow-truck perking up at his name being called. Doc called him over, Mater slightly hesitating.
"Howdy, Doc," Mater greeted, "Whatcha need me for?"
Doc gestured over to the thing, "We need to take it to the clinic, we're thinking that your hook would work just fine for the job."
Mater's eyes went wide,"You mean, I have ta tow it to your shop?"
Both Sheriff and Doc nodded, Mater gulped and hooked his hook onto the layer of fabric that the thing was wearing. He grimaced then drove, dragging it to the clinic.
