Buick Regal Racecar 86 - I'm getting there dude! I'm getting there! You just have to hold on for a few more chapters then you'll see him!
The morning was dawning over Radiator Springs where Sally was anxiously driving up and down with Susannah watching her through the mesh fence of the impound.
"Sally," Doc said rolling from the clinic, "he's awake, but he still might not make it."
"Can I see him?" Sally asked with anticipation.
"Sure." He answered before approaching Susannah, "Do you want to see Duncan?"
"Yes," She answered desperately, barely after Doc had finished his sentence.
Once he had opened the gate, she went to the clinic, ignoring the angry glares everyone was giving her. "Duncan?" She whispered to her son, once she was inside the building.
"Mummy?"
"Duncan," She sobbed, looking at him, he was covered in dents, bite marks and scratches, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Mummy, do you still love me?" He asked, his voice was small but the hope screamed out to Susannah who cried even more at his question.
"Baby, I love you more and more everyday; don't make the same mistake that I did."
"Susie," A small voice said, she turned to Lightning, who was hooked up to a machine that had a beat of beeps, "I've got some questions for the two of you."
Susannah looked at Sally unsurely before going to her side.
"Sally," he began, "I never did get the chance to become a dad, huh?"
"Stickers, I was going to tell you this week, you are gonna be a dad."
"I am?" He asked slight excitement in his voice but the pain shone through too much, "I guess there's only one thing to do to make life perfect. Sally, would you do me the honourable favour of becoming Mrs Sally McQueen?"
""Stickers," Sally breathed happily, "of course I will!"
Lightning smiled as he received a series of kisses and nuzzles. "Susie," he continued once Sally backed away, "you've got everything, a husband, beautiful kids and I can only hope that Mater knows how lucky he is to have someone like you, but don't let this oil obsession get in the way."
"Lightning," Susannah smiled through her silent tears, "you really know how to compliment don't you?"
He chuckled slightly, "what can I say? Anyway, you remember all of them years ago when you raced for me?"
"How could I forget?" Susannah asked in a dreamy sigh, rolling her eyes toward the sky.
"I was just thinking how would you like to be sponsored by Rust-eze?" He asked, "Beings I'm retiring, they need someone to sponsor and you're pretty good, all you have to do is sign a contract, let them see you in a short race then you'll be ready for the next season."
"If Sally wasn't here I could just kiss you!" Susannah yelled happily.
"It's alright with me," Lightning chuckled, "but remember, don't forget who your friends and family are, help people every chance you get."
"I'll remember," Susannah promised.
At this moment, the beeps slowed, and his wheezing breathing began again.
Sometimes you walk by the good ones,
'Cos
you're trying to hard, too hard to see them.
"Remember this is just a dream…" he managed to say, "we're gonna wake up and everything's gonna be back to normal."
And sometimes you don't find the right
lines,
'Cos you're trying too hard, too hard to hear them.
"No, Lightning please!" Susannah pleaded, though there were no tears, "You can't die! Please!"
But you know what it feels like,
'Cos
you're like me,
and you won't give up.
The beat of the machine continued to decrease second by second. "Stickers, please, for your child!" Sally begged, nuzzling him gently.
"Can she be called Adene Lightning McQueen?" He asked.
"Sure," Sally answered tears rolling down her hood.
Lightning managed to muster a smile, "tell Adene I said I loved her."
'Till an all time love,
'Cos nothing else
is good enough,
I want an all time love to find me.
It was then the beat came to a stop, and to replace it was a continuous beep, after a few moments Sally turned to Susannah, "get out." She growled angrily.
Susannah looked over to Lightning, who now lay motionless, "Is he…?"
"Because of you!" Sally shouted angrily, forcing her out of the door onto the main street.
Some days you're too set in your ways,
and you forget to shut up, shut up and listen.
"Sally," Susannah begged, "I didn't mean to kill anyone, especially not Lightning!"
"Well you screwed up perfectly didn't you?" Sally shouted, still rolling toward Susannah, forcing her to back away into the impound.
And some days you just have to misplace,
all your mistakes,
somewhere that you won't miss them.
From the distance, Susannah noticed a black Hummer H3 driving toward the town with a ambulance following but before she could see anymore the gate was shut in front of her, "I'll make sure that you leave town, or if I can't do that I'll be sure to see you rust in here."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Steven woke as he felt something pushing his side; he looked at Mia who was nudging him with a tire.
"What's the matter?" He asked, seeing that the young Porsche seemed a bit troubled by something.
"I saw someone driving by," Mia said staring outside of the junkyard, "can you come with me?"
Steven stood and made his way to the main street, a black Hummer H3 was talking to Doc, after a while the H3 turned and made his way over to Steven and Mia, Doc went to Susannah, a few seconds after she was heard shouting, "No! You can't!"
"What's going on?" Mater asked, approaching Steven from behind.
"I don't know," He answered thoughtfully.
So stop lying that you're fine
'Cos
you're like me
and you can't give up
"Doc! Please don't let them take Mia! They can't!" Susannah sobbed; she lowered her voice, "why? I didn't mean to do it." She watched as the ambulance entered Doc's clinic.
"They have to," Doc told her, "it's not safe for them to be with you anymore."
"No!" Susannah screamed, beginning to crash into the fence when the ambulance left the building, "Lightning! Stop him!"
'Till an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I
want an all time love to find me
Susannah turned to face the direction that the two strangers had left; they had taken Mia, "Why? Lightning, why didn't you stop them?" She yelled angrily.
"Susie," Mater tried to calm her, "we've gotta sort this out."
"Shut up!" She shouted, "Lemme out! I've gotta get them before they go too far!"
Mater and Doc exchanged glances before Doc said, "They're not coming back."
Susannah turned to face him, "But they have to! Where are they going?"
Doc sighed deeply, "They're gonna get adopted."
"No!" She yelled, but this time the sadness had turned into rage and she began to crash into the mesh again.
I don't believe that it's a failing
I don't believe that
it's a fault
The two finally agreed that she needed to be released, the unlocked the gate and opened it letting Susannah free.
'Cos if everything were plain sailing
Oh tell me what would
there be left to exalt
She immediately went into Doc's clinic to see if Duncan was there but as Susannah had feared, he was gone.
"Duncan," She whispered sadly to herself, she looked over to Lightning's lifeless body and remembered one of his last words to her, 'don't forget who your friends or family are.'
But an all time love
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I
want an all time love to find me
I want an all time love
She turned around and left the building, going down the main road with all her speed she muttered to herself, "I'll remember."
'Cos nothing else is good enough
I want an all time love to
find me
All Time Love by Will Young
All she could remember was getting past Willie's Butte, but after that everything went black.
Okay, do you know how much I thought about not killing Lightning? Alot! So I've got Adene to take his place... Mia and Duncan have been taken away? Susie's gone out of control again? What did ya think (Uh-oh, I can sense bad review from Rookie Of The Year :-o)?
