Lightning groaned and opened his eyes. In front of him he saw Doc.

"Doc?! What are you doing here?!" Lightning asked, surprised. Doc just smiled grimly at Lightning.

"Well, kid, I'm here because you had a pretty bad wreck." Doc replied. Lightning just looked down sadly.

"Yeah, Jackson Storm messed me up." Lightning explained. Doc just nodded his hood.

"Well, I'm here to give you a choice. You can either come with me into the afterlife, or go back down with Sally, Mater, and the rest of the gang." Doc explained. Lightning's eyes widened.

"You're giving me a choice of either to die, or to live?" Lightning asked, surprised.

"I am, kid. I hate to say it. I watched your crash from up here. It was a nasty one." Doc said. Lightning nodded his head.

"It was. I want to stay with you, Doc, I really do." Lightning said, looking at who he considered his dad.

"But, you want to go back to Mater and Sally and the gang. I totally understand, Lightning. I figured you would choose that. It isn't your time to go yet, kid." Doc said. Lightning smiled at Doc, tears in his eyes.

"What if I told you I want to stay with you?" Lightning asked. Doc shook his hood.

"Lightning... I don't want you to do that. You deserve more, kid." Doc explained. Lightning nodded his hood.

"Okay... I'll go back to the gang. Everyone really misses you, Doc. Especially me." Lightning said, blushing and nuzzling up against Doc. Doc smiled and nuzzled up against Lightning.

"I love you kid. Be careful out there, and rock the next race you're in, okay?" Doc said. Lightning nodded, tears streaming down his hood as he felt the pain coming back. He closed his eyes, and there he was, in his hospital room.

"Sally? Mater?" Lightning asked, looking at Sally and Mater.

"Oh, Stickers! They lost you three times. They thought you wouldn't make it. You kept saying Doc's name.. Lightning, we thought you weren't going to make it through the night. But, here you are." Sally said, smiling sadly. Lightning smiled at her and Mater, closing his eyes against the pain. He could get through this with his family by his side.
