Chapter 8: When We Realised

A/N: I don't own Cars! Not any part of the trilogy, either the shorts! Look closely, we have catfight down there.

"Okay. We left that as an opened book. Close that now. Change subject. What's comming next?" Sally asked.

"Well, to be honest, you got me there..." Lightning got blanked off, as he tried to remember. Then it got to his head. "Alright. Listen up. Pratice after Springfield, to the unmaked Twisterix."

"When she got away..." Sally gasped, as she heard the name of the city.

"Are you ready to see me dead? Because I'm going to die infront of you, you're asking the unmakeable from me." Lightning asked.

"We're at the end... We gotta go foward..."

"Alright, Sal... Final stops are comming... Jump in..."

/Flashback/

It was a week since they've got back from Springfield. Now they got ready for Twisterix. But... the pratice got slowed down lately. Cruz haven't felt herself pretty good lately. Maybe she got something, beetwhen, just started to show up now.

"Hey, Stickers. Have you saw Cruz today? I haven't saw her since we've got back from Springfield. I've been worrying what happened with her..." Sally started.

"Hey, Sal... Well, I have seen her yesterday. She's pretty sick lately." Lightning answered.

"Why? Did she get something?" Sally asked.

"Well. Maybe. Who knows?" Lightning asked back.

"You're right." Sally laughed.

"I'm better!" Cruz annouced happily. "Not really at all, I feel like I could throw at you guys at any time."

"What was your wrong? I mean, uh, well, why were you sick?" Sally asked.

"Well, missed out 'woman buisness'. And I don't know." Cruz answered.

"Are you ready to train for next week, if you're really ready." Lightning asked.

"Everytime!" Cruz answered happily.

"If you're pretty sick you shouldn't pratice. Maybe, you shouldn't even get on the fourth race. Let Stickers do it, maybe trying would be the best word." Sally explained.

"Sally, I can't let Storm win another race!" Cruz said in an annoying voice.

"Cruz, you're such a meanie!" Lightning hitted her arm playfully.

As soon, they got away from Sally, Cruz, finally could burst into his boyfriend arms.

"I haven't felt pretty fine these days..." Cruz admitted.

"I missed you, really..." Lightning admitted, to.

"Now we have a little time as 'pratice'. I'm not sure if I can do it, if I feel sick more and more..." Cruz sighed.

"I don't force you to do a thing. When you feel alright, you continue it. You won't lose faith in me, dear-heart." Lightning smiled at her. As the way he saw her smiling at him... Deserved everything.

"I'm really falling deeper for you... Can't save myself from it..." Cruz said, looking deep into his eyes.

"I've already fell for you, deeper, than I've thought..." Lightning said, as she leaned down for a kiss. It felt like a bomb...

They haven't kissed since that day in Springfield. When the rumor went around. But it got cancelled, because Lightning showed, he has Sally, still. And he knew it, from now, all he need is, Cruz. To be with him. From now and forever. This is, what he ever needed. He just couldn't find it.

"What will happen whenever one day she really finds it out?" Cruz breaked their loveable moment.

"Why would she?" Lightning asked again.

"Because..." Cruz started to wonder, then she snapped back to reality. "Fuck! I've left something in my room, what should be only mine, private stuff! We really need to get back!" Cruz just jumped up, and started to run, as fast, as she could...

"Women..." Lightning just rolled his eyes, again.

As he got back into the town, the only thing he heard, was girlfight. And girlfights...? Never turns out great.

"You're the biggest jerk of all the assholes out of there in the world!" It was Sally. She screamed at him, as she saw him.

"What's wrong, now?" Lightning asked.

"You fuckin know what you did, Lightning." Sally crossed her arms.

"Fuck, you better hope you ain't told him a thing!" Cruz shouted.

"Fuck off from this, I've got nothing to do with it." Sally told them, as she left them, walking away.

"For the fuck shake, what the fuck happened?!" Lightning asked

"I got back in my room, and she found my stuff. So she realised the stuff's. And I cryied so deep... I didn't want to..." Cruz breaked into his arms. "I'm really glad you don't know it. Yet..."

"You will speak up about it whenever you will be ready. Don't worry." He calmed her down. They thought, it's going to go down in peace...

/Flashback end/

"Did she told you after all what happened?" Sally asked.

"No..." Lightning sighed. "It now not really matters, I guess..."

"Stickers... She was pregnant..."

And Lightning, was in shock, again...
