IMPORTANT INFO! PLEASE READ!

The cars have been turned to HUMANS. The characters are also slightly younger, so Sally's parents live with here, and run the work. Mater lives with the police. The movie plot line is similar, with the only difference being Sally's parents pushing for Lighting to fix the road, and Mater getting into a little more trouble.

I only own the plot to the story, and Sally's parents. You can tell, because if I owned the rights to the movie, Doc would still be alive.

K, for all of you who are going to look up what Danini means, I've already done it. It's the girls name Danini, and yes it means Lighting. But I've made it a boy's name in this. Deal

AGES (BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU ALL OF THEM, AND I JUST REALIZED HOW CONFUSUING THE STORY IS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW OLD EVERYONE IS)

Lighting: Fifteen, started racing at age 12. (And yes you can, I did a lot of research to be sure)

Sally: Turned Sixteen a week before the movie.

Mater: Sixteen, the oldest of the teens. (Though he often acts the youngest)

Flo: 28

Ramone: 30

Luigi and Guido: 25

Red: 26

Sheriff: 40

Doc: 45 (he crashed when he was 20, and has been 'missing' for 25 years instead of 50)

I'll add more as the story progresses.

When Lighting woke up in a room he didn't recognized he, doing what any normal person would, panicked. He sat up so fast he almost fell over the foot of the bed. He regained his balance and hurried to the window. His heart calmed considerably when he saw he was still in Radiator Springs. He tried to figure out where he could have slept last night. Then he remembered, Doc. Doc had talked to him, and carried him to his car. It may sense that Doc would have taken him to his house, rather than trying to find hi s Cozy Cone key. He turned to the door, trying to decide what to do now. The sun was a fair way up in the sky. Doc would normally be up, so he might not be here. He tentatively pushed the door opened. He heard voices coming from the kitchens. It was hard to make out who was talking, or what they were saying, because they kept getting softer then louder then softer. Like they were having an argument, but wanted to be quite. He strained his ears, it sounded like Doc and Sheriff. What would they be fighting about? He fallowed the sounds as well as he could and soon found the kitchen. They didn't notice him right away. "I don't know, I want to make sure he's safe . And I'm not sure I'd….Oh Hello Lighting." The boy rubbed his eyes, and murmured a "Good morning". The men let smiles slip on to their faces. They had never seen Lighting like this, his red hair a wavy mess, clothes rumpled. It was childish, and it was nice to see the boy act like a teen.

Sheriff offed him a to go box form Flo's, with a fork and knife taped to it. "I was told to give you this." The boy took it and upon opening it, lasted his head. "They look like cinnamon rolls, but not." Doc leaned over and chuckled. "Those are French Toast Cinnamon Rolls. They're exactly what they sound like." Lighting sat down and pulled off the utensils. He began to eat, and his eyes brighten. Doc ruffled his hair, glad to see the boy happy. His eyes differed to the bruises and his heart cracked a little. "What were you talking about?"

The duo looked at each other, both looking for an excuse. "Doc wants to get a pet." Both racers blink, nothing think something along the lines of '?'.

"You want a pet?" Lighting ask, shocked.

"Not necessary…" Lighting's brow furrowed, as he tried to work out the information in his head. Doc continued talking. "The one I want to adopt is well…." Doc tired to find the smoothest way to tell Lighting he was thinking about him. Sheriff beat him to it..

"Okay, no. We're not doing this. Lighting, the boy Doc wants to adopt is you. He's freaking out because he thinks that you want like that, and that he'd be a bad parent." He stood up. "I'll let you two talk about it." And with that, he walked out. Doc wanted to scream, Lighting simply sat there looking shocked and confused.

After several minutes of silence, Lighting put down his fork, looking at Doc. "I…"

"I know. It's sudden. And I understand if you don't want me to. But, the easiest way to keep Hrev away form you is to jail him for child abuse, but then you'd need to have more parental consent, and I want you stay in Radiator Springs, so I can make sure you aren't being hurt anymore." Doc's eyes bounced form Lighting to the table, to Lighting, to the table. Lighting gulped. " I just, I don't want to be a burden."

Doc chuckled, "Lighting, if you and I keep saying we don't want to do something because the other don't want to, we're never going to get anywhere." Lighting laughed, but he was still nervous. "I want to say in Radiator Springs, and…. As long as you stay my pit crew captain I'll be happy." Doc walked to him, and gently missed his hair. "That's what I want too, but I don't know if you'll enjoy being stuck with me. Not just for racing, but for your whole life. Or at least the last three years of it." Lighting considered it.

"What if we test it? Me living with you, as your son." Before Doc could answer, Sheriff burst in.

"We have a BIG problem."
