The next morning, Sarge and Fillmore were doing their usual morning argument waking up the entire town. Amber was taking a morning jog with her Dad. They were passing Sarge's Boot Camp. She was well ahead of her dad.
"Haha Dad! You're meant to be the sport star here," Amber laughed running ahead while McQueen tried to get his breath back.
"You're 14, I'm 42! Besides, I've been racing since I was 18! My life has been focused on racing!" McQueen panted before running ahead. "I wanna show you something. Follow me." He ran ahead of his daughter.
Amber was struggling running up the hills which lead to Wheel Well. It was a steep hill.
"Who's the athletic one now huh Amber?" McQueen laughed. He helped Amber up. She was met by a beautiful site: The Wheel Well.
"Whoa what is this place!" Amber asked gob smacked.
"Wheel Well. Me and your Mom owned it 17 years ago," McQueen replied solemnly. He looked at the picture hanging on the window. It was of him and Sally on their wedding day. He smiled to himself. "This is the place where I first knew I was falling for your mother." He walked to the edge. Memories flooded back to him. "The view still looks beautiful. But you're mother looks better." Amber chuckled.
"Whoa…It's magical. I bet it looks pretty at dusk!" Amber breathed. She sat down on the cliff where Sally first told McQueen about the towns past 17 years ago.
"It sure did," McQueen sighed. He sat next to Amber. He stared at the floor sadly.
"What's wrong Dad?" Amber asked.
"Promise me you won't be angry at me?" McQueen began. Amber felt her heart beat faster. She knew that there was bad news.
"Grandma Pam-my mum- has been feeling very sick and I need to see her. She lives in England," McQueen muttered.
"…Oh…" Amber said a bit taken aback. She stood up and walked away. Well at least she didn't get mad at me, McQueen thought before following her.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
"GO AWAY DAD! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS! YOU ALWAYS COME BACK FROM A RACE AND HIDE AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!" Amber yelled once her dad followed her. She felt her anger boiling inside of her.
"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOUNG LADY!" McQueen yelled back. "I NEED TO SEE MY MUM! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS ILL?" Sally's ears perked up from Colbie's room.
"What is your father talking about?" Sally asked.
"Dad's leaving. And lets hope he doesn't come back," Amber snapped before stomping up to her room. Sally looked at McQueen dumbstruck.
"What in the hell is that girl talking about?" Sally asked.
"Pam's ill. She might even…D-die," McQueen sighed. "And now Amber's all pissed with me."
"That's what teenage girls do. I was a teenager once McQueen. We get angry sometimes," Sally replied. "At least she takes it calmer than Nick." She walked into the kitchen leaving McQueen to think. He knew he could totally blow this with his family. They didn't even know McQueen's mother was still alive. Sally hadn't even met Pam.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
That night, Amber was reading a bed time story to Colbie.
"And the monster growled at poor Tim and shouted…" Amber read to Colbie. She looked up. McQueen was there. "Oh."
"That's not how the story goes!" Colbie protested. "The monster was meant to shout "I'm going to eat you Timmy!""
"The monster is here. Colbie. And he is about to eat me," Amber smirked to her dad. "I bet he is gonna say, "Grr Amber. I will bite your head off and eat you alive,"".
"Yep!" joked McQueen. He picked up Amber and tossed her in the air even if Amber was 15. Amber shrieked like Colbie. He threw Amber on the bed and done the same to Colbie. They all dissolved into a fit of giggles. To make Colbie laugh more, he tickled her making her shriek with laughter.
"Hey Amber. I'm sorry. You go to bed. I'll finish up here. Night night," McQueen smiled. He ruffled Amber's hair as she got up from the bed.
"OK. Nighty Night Colb," Amber sighed. She tickled Colbie once more and hugged her dad.
All was forgiven wasn't it? MAYBE…..
