Even before being accepted into the Academy, Holley's mother was worried for her. And sure, the royal blue Lotus always worried about her daughter's wellbeing, wanting her to settle down with a good gentlecar and raise a family, but it grew into full blown paranoia when Holley announced that she had been given a position in the prestigious 'Spy Academy'. Her mother, Carrie, nearly had engine failure, while Walter, her father, a burgundy Jaguar like herself, would have most certainly been proud of her. He was police car, having lost his life several years earlier while breaking up a bank robbery. Though despite this, Holley was sure that he would've been ecstatic, always saying that she was destined for greater things.
After five years of training, the young Jaguar was finally granted a job in the British Intelligence Agency, as a communications officer. It was a step down from what she'd expected, but Holley had faith of the fact that she would soon be promoted to field agent. Months passed and no such luck came, although while on leave with her family back in Cambridge, she was ordered to return to Tokyo, but this time to meet a field agent during the Grand Prix party. Holley wasn't told much of the mission, phone lines—even ones directly from the Agency—could be traced or monitored. Not that she minded the secrecy; it was her much anticipated first mission, nothing so small would curb her enthusiasm.
After a tearful goodbye from her mother, and several other farewells from other friends and family members, Holley's younger sister was next. Teresa, otherwise known as 'Tilly', was an emerald green Lotus, fifteen years old—still living with her mother (much to her chagrin) and a rather mischievous girl, always taking the time to conjure up answers to everything with as much sarcasm as possible, as well as a very large fan of pulling pranks. It wasn't even a week that went by without some sort of practical joke pulled on one of her family members, and Holley and to admit she would sorely miss it.
Tilly had playfully punched her older sister with tire, telling her watch her back while in Tokyo. But before she even began making her way into the terminal, the young Lotus had stopped her suddenly, and after making sure their mother couldn't hear, whispered conspiringly, betting thirty pounds that Holley would fall in love with someone on her first mission. The elder Jaguar had gladly taken Tilly up on her offer; after all she could use thirty pounds. Plus, the spy car she was supposed to be meeting was much older than her, therefore proving no trouble.
Oh, how wrong she had been. Holley sighed, returning from her memories, suddenly hearing an excited chuckle from her left. Turning slightly to the side, she met the familiar form of her boyfriend, Mater looking animatedly out of Siddeley's window, having immediately claimed the seat for himself when arriving on the aircraft. It was a one way flight to London, from where they'd drive to her old home. Her family had insisted on meeting her new beau, although she hadn't exactly…warned them about Mater.
The tow truck in question spoke then, hopping around eagerly in his seat, "well dad-gum, ah bet yer fam'ly's gonna be purdy surprised ta' see me!"
You have no idea, Holley smirked, her boyfriend's attention quickly diverting to the window once more. The Jaguar sighed again, this time accompanied with a roll of the eyes. Needless to say, it was obvious Tilly had won the bet.
To Funkywatermelon: Yeah, I had to change the name of the sister 'cause I'm using that name for another fic-but thanks for the idea!
Holley's mom is gonna freak out when she sees Mater *cue evil cackle*
