School was just a drag the following day. Mostly to Jessica. She was a little heartbroken that she wouldn't be able to go to the dance.. she shut her locker and leaned her head against it. All her friends were excited about it.. Hudson came up and leaned against the locker "Hey cutie." He greeted with his perfect smile.. Jessica sighed with a frown and faced him and scolded "Don't. I'm not in the mood..". Hudson nodded and replied "Upset about the dance?" Jessica yelled "Ofcorse I am!" Hudson's eyes widened. Jessica blushed and quickly apologized, "Sorry. I just really was looking forward to it. And we would have been able to dance and hang out with friends and I got the prettiest little two piece dress!" She whined. Hudson nodded and gave a hint for his plan, "Well.. what if we both did something else that night? We could have our own dance?" Jessica gave a snobbish glare and answered "Sounds lame.. all our friends wouldn't even be there?" Hudson sighed.. Jessica mentioned "I'm gonna be late and I literally am not allowed to be now.. I gotta go.." She started to walk away. Hudson pulled her back real quick and explained "I told you I had the perfect night planned. Now let me give you this night? Okay?" Jessica frowned but nodded. Hudson smiled and kissed her forehead. Jessica half smiled a bit then and brushed her hair behind one her ears. Her blue eyes sparkled.. She walked away. He gazed at her walk.. The bell rang.. "Crap!" He yelled and ran to through the halls to head to his class! "NO RUNNING MR MCQUEEN!" A teacher yelled. Hudson called back as he slowed down "Sorry!"
When school let out, Hudson was waiting to be picked up by his dad.. he noticed His girlfriend walk out. He ran up to her, "Hey. I wanna talk about plans for tomorrow night." Jessica frowned. She didn't. She was still upset about not being able to go. She stood there. Hudson explained "Alright well my dad is giving me back the privilege to drive again tomorrow. So I can pick you up. Say 7? I wanna take you up to wheel well. We can have our own little thing." Jessica groaned and replied "I guess?.. but it's not what I wanted." Hudson cocked his head a bit then back and said "I know, but.. I think you'll
like it. I'm even gonna wear my suit. You wear the dress you got Okay?" Jessica answered "Alright.. but don't be upset if I'm just not in the mood or enjoying myself." Hudson nodded. His dad honked. "Alright I will see you tomorrow night then." Hudson smiled and went off. They left. Poor Jessica was still upset..
The next day came. Hudson and his dad along with a few friend set up the place. It looked good. Hudson got dressed. A nice black suit with a black bow tie. He came down from his room with his arms opened and came down the stairs and asked as his parents were down waiting for him, "How Do I look?" Sally's eyes watered up and she placed her hand on her chest.. "You look so grown up..". She said with a sniffle. Hudson spoke softly to his mom, "Please don't cry..". Lightning rubbed Sally's back gently and commented "You look good." "Thanks dad..". Lightning handed Hudson a pair of keys. "Take the mustang tonight." Hudson gave his dad a look.. "Really?" He asked with a smile.. Lightning nodded. Hudson thanked him. Sally kissed her little boy. "Can't believe in three more weeks you'll be graduating already.. it seems like yesterday you needed help walking!.." she said. Hudson blushed a little. Lightning patted his son's back shoulder and with a smile said, "Go on. Have fun. Behave though. No trouble." Hudson nodded and answered "Yes Sir." He went on out to the garage. He got in the mustang. It was so much lower than his Jeep. He went on out and enjoyed the drive down to pick up his girlfriend. He drove fast. Shifted hard and drifted down a few curves. He had a blast with it. And it felt good to be racing speed again.
He pulled up slowly into Storms drive way and parked. He opens the door and got out heading to the door. Cruz saw him through he window she excitedly called out "He's coming Jessica! Hope your about ready!" Cruz grabbed her phone. She was definitely taking a photo of this.
Hudson knocked on the door. Storm opened the door. "Well you look nice. Face is looking a bit better to." Storm said as he half smiled. He gave his hand forward. Hudson shook storms hand.. nervously. Cruz complimented as he came inside "You look so handsome. You really do look like your dad." She smiled and took a photo. "You ready to see Jessica?" Cruz asked. Hudson smiled and answered "As I will ever be.." he joked nervously. Storm stepped outside. Cruz smiled. Storm came back in. She set Hudson by the end of the stairs. "Alright you stand her and we are gonna have Jessica walk out and down just like the movies." Hudson was a little nervous and embarrassed. Cruz called out "Alright Come on down babe!" Jessica came out and walked down. Hudson stared up at her.. she looked amazing.. Cruz stood there snapping photos. Storm stopped her after a few and softly told his wife to enjoy the moment.. he black hair was up in a fat bun and her two piece lace top and flowing bottom was perfect with her tan skin.. she stopped in front of Hudson.. "Wow.. you look perfect.." he said. Jessica smiled. Storm spoke up "Ofcorse she does. She always does." Jessica laughed a little and blushed "Don't embarrasse me dad..". Hudson spoke up noticing her nice heels, "You'll need sneakers." Cruz handed her daughter her shoes. Jessica gave a weird look to her boyfriend. Storm half smiled. Storm then spoke up "Hudson go ahead and pull your car around. I wanna walk my daughter out." Jessica smiled at her father.
Hudson nodded and went out to his car. He got in and started it. He noticed a brown bag in the passenger seat?.. a stick it note taped to it. Hudson grabbed the note off the bag and read it.
You'd better not need these!
-J
Hudson crinkles the note up and opened the bag up.. his eyes widened.. it was a box of protection.. he put the box back into the bag and shoved it under the seats and pulled around to the door. Jackson proudly walked his girl to Hudson's car. He helped her in. Storm shut he door and spoke sternly "Now y'all two have fun and behave." Jessica nodded and smiled. Storm stared at Hudson. "Be smart.." he said. Hudson nodded nervously. Storm patted the roof of the car and they were off. Cruz smiled. Storm watched them leave. His girl was growing up. They drove slow. Jessica petted the door of the car. "Wow.. kinda old ain't it?" She said. Hudson chuckled and replied "Yeah. I almost prefer the Jeep." Hudson parked the car near a few others. Jessica recognized most of them.. "Hey?.. are those?.. Are those our friends cars? Are they here?" Hudson got out and opened the door for his girlfriend. He walked her to the main outdoor area of wheel well. The lights strung up, soft music, low lights, it was beautiful. Tables were moved out the way for an area to dance in. A bartender served teen friendly drinks. Jessica ran to her friends. They all complimented each others dresses. "I can't believe you guys ditched the dance for this!?" Her Friends laughed a bit and answered how they would do anything for her. She was their best friend and such.. Hudson greeted the guys. They all had a good time hanging out. Hudson and Jessica danced. It was nice. Jessica had her hand around Hudson's neck. He had his on her waste. Once it got late Hudson took her out in the mustang for a short drive. They chatted and laughed a bit. Hudson pulled by the falls.. the night made it beautiful. They parked.
Jessica spoke up. "This night has been perfect.. thank you babe.." she layed her hand on his knee..
Hudson got a little nervous. Jessica leaned into his shoulder and continued "We could end this night with a bang to..". She slid her hand up. But as tempting as she was it felt to weird after what Jackson left.. Hudson pushed her hand away and replied "Not tonight baby..". Jessica rolled her eyes. He took her home.
Hudson walked her to the door. They gazed and stared at eachother.. Jessica spoke first.. "Well.. thanks again Hudson.. couldn't have been better. And my mom is probably spying right now so you know.." she giggled a bit. Hudson chuckled and took her hands and replied "Your welcome." They gazed. Jessica leaned up on her toes and kissed him quick and soft.. she let go and set herself down. She then let go his hands and opened her house door and went inside. Hudson smiled at her as she closed the door. Hudson felt so happy and satisfied with how the night went.
Awe. Loved this little story. So our choice is for the future! We are gonna skip ahead to Baja California next! The Storm family is gonna travel up with the McQueen's and support Hudson. Sky to finally!! So Hudson is going to be competing against older and bigger drivers. He is going to be testing one the smaller tracks like all the competitors. So!?...
