Chapter 3: Things Have to Change

After a lot of party rocking, Neo noticed that the sky was just starting to get brighter, "Everyone! I think that we should go to sleep!" Neo said over the microphone. When he said that, everyone froze, "Oh my heavens, Neo! You're right. We've been up almost the whole nighttime!" Grandma said in agreement. Everyone else agreed as well.

Neo made all his cars go back into their places in the garage, and he made LMFAO and their friends to go back to the room they were always in. He made sure that all cars were in their proper places. While he was checking whether they were in the right spots, he heard Demon growling, "Demon... I know what you would've done if I would've let you out to party. You would've turned my friends into food. Oh, speaking of food, here's a dead bird." Neo said, tossing the bird in front of Demon.

Neo closed the garage, hearing Demon eating the bird, and he went to his bed, "Ohh... what a day." Neo said, crashing into bed. After he fell asleep, he had another dream.

In his dream:

Neo woke up, in his house, back in his hometown. He went out and took Christyna for a drive, when he encountered a completely blacked-out 2000 BMW M3 that scratched Christyna, who then told Neo to race that guy, and Neo wanted to anyway. Neo was winning the race, but then the other driver rammed into him, causing Christyna to spin out. Neo turned to see the BMW speeding away, "Okay, so that's how you wanna do it?" Neo asked out loud, shifting into reverse. Almost immediately, he was back beside the other driver. On the final stretch, the BMW was blocking Neo from passing him, but Neo sprang an idea, "Christyna, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Neo asked her.

Christyna had already started, she was climbing on top of the BMW, and driving over it. In doing that, Neo won. When both vehicles came to a screeching stop, Neo got out of Christyna, but the other driver did not get out of their car, "Come on, loser! Get out of the car!" Neo yelled at the driver. Eventually, the driver did get out, but it was nothing close to what Neo was expecting, the driver was a... Velociraptor.

Neo was ready with a USAS 12 shotgun, but the raptor did not attack him. Much to Neo's surprise, it just stood there, staring at him. Then Neo saw out of the corners of his eyes that there were more dinosaurs coming his way. Neo then realized that every person, except for him, seemed to have been replaced by dinosaurs. Neo then woke up.

"Aah! What was that dream all about?" Neo asked out loud. He didn't know really care, but he had to ask anyway. He looked at the clock and saw that it was like 12:30 p.m, "Dang, that was some party last night. Finally, some people who actually like the loud music, compared to your average person who probably hates that loud music." Neo said, stretching.

He was passing by the door that lead directly to the garage, when he heard a car honking, "That car... that sounds like the Asym Desanne X/T pursuit vehicle that I found wrecked in San Francisco, its horn shouldn't be working if it is that vehicle. Gotta check that noise out." Neo said, hearing the horn. When he got to the source of the noise, it was the car he thought it was, "Man... I never got to fixing you. Why? You know what, no more procrastinating. I'll try to repair you. If I fail, at least I tried." Neo said to the car.

But before Neo started fixing the car, he was visited by Littlefoot, "Morning, Neo. What are you doing?" Littlefoot asked him. Neo looked back to see him, "Oh hello, Littlefoot." Neo replied. Then Neo noticed something around Littlefoot's neck, "Hey, Littlefoot... what's that?" Neo asked him, pointing at the thing.

Littlefoot looked down at what he was talking about, "Are you talking about this? This is a necklace. It was given to me by Q." Littlefoot replied. Neo remembered reading that in the story, "How long ago did he give you that?" Neo asked. Littlefoot started to become misty-eyed, "Uhh... 6 coldtimes ago." Littlefoot responded. Neo calculated that in his head, "So about 6 winters ago," he thought.

Littlefoot started crying, and Neo went to comfort him, "It's all right, Littlefoot. Q will always be with you no matter how much you miss him. You just need to remember all the good things that happened with him and his family. I'm sure he's probably watching over us." Neo said. Littlefoot leaned against Neo, "You're right. Well, see ya." Littlefoot responded.

After Littlefoot was out of the garage, he felt a voice speak to him through his heart, "Littlefoot... Littlefoot... it's me," the voice said. Littlefoot recognized the voice as Q's, "Q? Is that you?" Littlefoot asked out loud. He waited for a response from the voice, but he never got one, "Q. He must really be watching over us." Littlefoot thought. The voice spoke to him again, "Yes we are. We'll be in your heart, Littlefoot." Littlefoot felt happier, and he left the garage,

After Littlefoot had left, Neo focused his attention on the car he needs to fix. So he got a radio, and he turned it on, and he played Working for the Weekend while he begins fixing the car.

A day-and-a-half later:

After a long time, Neo finished restoring the car, "There you go, you're all fixed up. You know... I still have not given you a name. What do you want to be called?" Neo asked, checking the internals of the vehicle. The car honked, "Pat? Okay. Pat it is." Neo said. After he had checked the internal parts of the car, he went to clean his face off.

While he was, Pat spotted Christyna, drove towards her, and played this on his radio, "Hello. Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your smile. You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide. Cause you know just what to say and you know just what to do. And I want to tell you so much, I love you."

Neo didn't hear the music, but when he came back, he saw that Pat was now face-to-face with Christyna, who didn't seem to mind him, and he walked over to him, "Hey, Pat. (Whispers to him) She's too old for you." Neo said. Pat's headlights angled at him. Neo continued his survey, "OK, Pat, your engine's good, brakes are good, tires are excellent." He was about to take the Desanne X/T pursuit (The name of the car) for a test drive, when there were bright lights that lit up behind him, and a figure appeared.

"Hey, Neo. Would you rather like to drive that piece of crap... or would you rather drive this?" the figure said, pointing towards a car. Then, lights illuminated the vehicle, which actually was the Lykan Hypersport, which opened its driver door. "So that car is alive." Neo thought. The Hypersport started playing Nice Car on its radio, "Are you serious?" Neo asked the figure.

"I doubt you'll ever have this level of freedom when you drive your time," the figure said back. Neo went over to the Hypersport, and kind of stroked it, "Oh you know I just can't let you go. Yeah, it's true. I really love all you. And diamonds are forever. Live your life to the full in a really nice car," the radio played. While Neo was near the Hypersport, Pat reversed, unnoticed, and he looked at Neo as he was admiring the Hypersport.

Neo couldn't resist, he got in the Hypersport, and he took off. After Neo left, the figure approached Pat, and he opened the hood, "All right, car. Let's see what makes you tick," the man said. He tried to go for Pat's fusebox, but Pat gave him a small shock to keep away from his fuses. Then, the man tried to weaken Pat's radiator, but Pat sprayed oil right in the guy's face, then the man made a mistake by loosening his grip on the hood, and it fell on top of his head, "D'oh!" the man grunted.

The man got a rag so he could wipe off the oil. Then he grabbed a crowbar, "Do you want a piece of me!?" the man yelled, hitting Pat on the passenger door. The man walked over to Pat's hood, and hit him with the crowbar another 4 times, "Who's laughing now?" the man said. Then, Pat's hood flew open, whacked the man in the face, and then Pat's hood slammed shut.

The man looked at Pat with an expression that would say, "What the hell?" The guy got up right before he spotted the Hypersport coming back. When it got in front of him, he opened the door, and a lot of white smoke came out, and Neo kind of slumped out the side. The guy knew that Neo had passed out from some good old-fashioned knockout gas, "Good job, Hypersport. You did it. I put him in the frunk, and I need to do some stuff to him." the guy ordered the vehicle.

Pat both saw and heard this, and he realized that he needed to alert the others about what happened. He knew that he couldn't just drive off right at the moment, or that guy would know for a fact that something was up. Pat waited until the guy and the Hypersport were gone into the horizon, then he drove back towards the others.

Back with Neo:

Neo had been passed out cold for about 6 hours, before he finally woke up, "Mm. Mmm? Wha? Where am I? (Grunts) I can't move." Neo said, beginning to come back into reality. He saw the man slowly walking towards him in the darkness, "Neo, Neo, Neo. You know you can't always trust your car. I've been wanting to do this for ages, but that Bill Gates took you in before I had a chance to do this. Now I finally can do it. You'll be fine." the guy said to Neo, who was panting.

Eventually, Neo saw the man's face, "Dad?" Neo asked, recognizing the man. The man didn't reply at all, but Neo could see his father filling up a needle with some sort of bright green glowing liquid, "What is that?!" Neo said, beginning to panic. His father very briefly described it, "This here is going to make you into the thing that you've always wanted to be, Neo." Neo did not like the sound of that.

His father stuck the needle in Neo's arm, and he began to inject the liquid, "No! Stooooppppp…" Neo said, passing out again. His father removed the needle from his son's arm, and he saw that the effects of the liquid were already starting to take place. He grabbed Neo, put him back in the Hypersport, and he headed back towards the Great Valley.

When he finally got back to the valley, everyone was asleep, and Neo's dad carried him back towards the mansion. He entered the code, used Neo's handprint, scanned Neo's eyes, and he imitated Neo's voice perfectly, "N-E-O, and guest," his father said into the briefly. He dragged Neo up to his room, and he just dropped Neo on the floor next to his bed, "I can't wait to see your reaction to what I've done, son," his father said out loud, leaving the house.

The morning after:

When the others had woken up and were searching for breakfast, they didn't see Neo, "Uh... guys? Have any of you seen Neo?" Shorty asked everyone. The others looked around a couple times before realizing that Neo wasn't there, "Beats me." Littlefoot replied. They went to the house, and a slightly different microphone popped out for them to speak into, "Neo? Neo, are you there?" Littlefoot asked into the microphone.

He got no response, which was very strange because Neo always answered the door, "Guys, I think that we should stay here until he comes out of there." Littlefoot said. The others didn't mind, but they slept on his front porch, just until he came outside. They would be waiting for quite a while.

6 days later:

Neo started to regain consciousness again, and he slowly woke up, "[Moans] What happened? Oh... I don't... feel so good." Neo said clutching his stomach. He went to open his door, when he saw his hand, "What the hell? Why do I have claws, and only four fingers?" he asked. He went to the bathroom to splash some water on his face, "Maybe I'm just seeing things." Neo said to himself. But when he caught a look at his face in the mirror, he almost passed out for a third time, "Who am I?! No. The real question is… WHAT am I?!" Neo said, shocked.

Neo then recognized who he was, "Oh my gosh. I'm... I'm... a dinosaur. No... is that what that liquid did to me? Turned me into a dinosaur?" Neo said, starting to remember everything that happened on that night about a week ago. He went to open the door, and when he did, the gang saw him, and gasped, "Who are you?" Littlefoot asked, slightly nervous along with the rest of the gang.

"It's me. Neo." Neo corrected him. They looked at each other in confusion, "Neo? If that is you... how did you become a dinosaur?" Shorty asked him. Neo didn't really remember, "All I can remember is I was abducted by my own car... my car... [Growls] anyway, then I was injected with some sort of bright green glowing liquid, and then I woke up in my house." Neo explained.

"Your own car abducted you? Which one?" Spike asked. Neo remembered which one it was, "That Hypersport. Let me just..." Neo said. he tried grabbing a gun, but he couldn't hold it properly because of how his hands were now, "On second thought... maybe I'll just go and have a word with the vehicle." Neo said, going into the garage.

When Neo and the others got into the garage, Neo spotted the Hypersport, "Hey, you. Hypersport... I remember what you did. Now you're gonna-whoa!" Neo said before an MG42 machine gun popped out of the roof and aimed directly at them, "Whoa... hold on there, buster. I didn't mean anything by that." Neo said to the car calmly.

Neo then spotted a grenade in the front seat, "Guys, see that thing in the front seat? I'm gonna do something with it, and when I say run... you all run as fast as you can. But for now, you must act like normal, don't let the car know what we're up to. (Neo turns back to the car) Now, now, buster... I just need to grab something from you, all right?" Neo said, slowly approaching the car.

Neo opened the door, still moving slowly, and he said to the gang, "Remember, guys, when I say run... [Neo grabs the grenade and quickly pulls the pin] RUN!" Neo yelled, making the gun spin uncontrollably in car fired the gun, with no successful kills. It wasn't long before… BOOM! The Hypersport exploded, blowing up into millions of pieces.

Everyone had ran away to safety when the vehicle blew up, "Is it safe, Neo?" Cera yelled. Neo got up and looked around, "Yes, it's fine. You can get up." Neo assured them. They all got up, and Neo saw the gun on the ground, "I'll take that." Neo said, kicking the remains of the car's body. He went back up to his room when he saw that it was already dark out, "Uh... I guess that I'll see you guys another day." Neo said.

He went to his bed and he crashed into it. Once again, he was being watched by those same mysterious two figures, "Perfect. This was supposed to happen. But now we must wait for the right moment to meet him," the one figure said to the other. "Yes, we should, but when?" the other figure asked back. The first figure smiled, "Don't worry. We'll be meeting him soon enough," he replied.
