Cars 2

Chapter 10

Where the heck is he? It's been over an hour! Doc thought quietly to himself. It had been 4' hours since they left, and they were at a service station right now. Doc thought Lightning might need to stretch his tires. He had respected Lightning's privacy, and just knocked on the door and told him to meet him outside, but he hadn't came out yet. Doc was just about fed up with waiting. He drove impatiently into the trailer and opened Lightning's door. He found Lightning and Sally napping beside each other, smiling in their sleep. He also found Linda, just silently staring at the couple.

"Staring at anything in particular?" Doc asked, pulling up beside her.

She was silent for a moment, and Doc was starting to think she hadn't even heard him.

"Aren't they just the cutest?" She said, all of a sudden.

"Uh, yea I guess so." Doc said uncomfortably.

Doc felt kind of strange. It wasn't like any injury he'd ever got racing. He'd only felt this way once before, during high school. He'd had the biggest crush on this girl, only to have his best friend crush his dreams, and go out with her instead. He couldn't exactly remember her name though…

"Here, let me get Mater to wake them up." Doc offered as they drove outside.

They found Mater outside talking to Mack.

"Hey Mater! I need to ask you for a favor."

"Sure, Doc, wut is it?" Mater asked curiously.

Doc went over to him and whispered something, then Mater went into the trailer.

At first, it was really quiet, then we heard a loud BOO, and two screams of MATER!

"That was cruel, you know?" Linda said, laughing, just as Mater and a very sleepy- looking Lightning came out of the trailer.

"Boy, Doc! Yous was right! That was funny." Mater said, laughing.

"Sorry, Doc. Me and Sally sort of nodded off." Lightning said apologetically.

"I just thought you might want to stretch your tires. We're probably going to be on the road for another 5 hours for the least." Doc told him.

"Thanks." Lightning said, yawning.

After everyone had filled up on gas and oil, they all loaded back up into the trailer. As they were driving up the ramp, Linda inched closer to Doc. She was so close, close enough that he could smell her perfume. It actually smelt pretty good. Something about it was so…familiar. She was so close that her side was brushing against his. Doc could feel his face growing hot. Linda smiled at him, and he shifted uncomfortably. Little did Doc know, Braden noticed.

Braden raised his eyebrow to Lightning, and Lightning just shrugged. Lightning and Sally went back to their room, and Braden followed. As soon as they shut the door, the two boys busted out laughing.

"What?" Sally asked, confused.

"Did you see the look on his face?" Lightning asked through gasps.

"I can't believe mom has the hots for your crew chief!!" Braden said, still laughing.

"I know!" Lightning replied.

"Do you really think they like each other?" Braden asked with a sudden serious face.

"I don't know, maybe so…" Lightning replied.

Hey, sorry it took so long, there's this thing called "school" that sort of gets in the way... Please Review!!!!
