To my friends:

Tiny-Sorry the comment below is mine, I wanted to write my name but I press the enter botton by mistake so it's wrote "ty" hahaha sorry we can't delete the comments. Well I was going to say that I love how you write Doc's lines you make him so wise and smart and it's all from your head, so you are amazing at that! I think that Lightning has matured a lot now is a mature man, responsible, and as he was a rookie has an amazing talent at racing it was just he was so confident and rude at the track he made a lot of mistakes but in the tie breaker race he proved he was very talented and now that he's older he is a lot better and he has a lot of experience maybe as much as Doc, so is good to have in mind when he's teaching rayne and talk to her in a pretty smart way, letting the readers know that McQueen has grow up and learned a lot about racing and he does know a lot about it.-Doc has a lot to do with it, Lightning has always admired him. Lightning was like me when I was in my twenties-young and stupid. But with time and experience he has settled down, well as much as a racecar can settle down. Lightning has to let Rayne make mistakes and fall flat on her face, it's called growing up. But he will always be there to pick Rayne up, dust her off, and encourage her to keep chasing her dreams.

Guest- ty-An official "oops". Don't worry I do it all the time.

guest 2-Ha funny. Sally shouting stickers and lightning not being able to tell if she's talking to him or Rayne is a struggle and annoying but funny. You should come up with a pet name sally could call Rayne. Your choice though its just an idea-Thanks, it is a great idea. Since you thought of it, I'll let you have the honor of coming up with Rayne's nickname. Besides, I can't think of one right now.

Ghost1998-Nice-Thanks

HMG-Thanks for the double update! Ok, I'll be patient hahaha it's hard for me but I'll try!- I know you can do it.

Chapter 12.-Rayne's First day Of School-

Ten seconds later, Rayne rolled down the ramp and drove over to where her father and surrogate grandfather were waiting. "What were you doing in there?" Lightning asked. "Watching television" Rayne replied. "What's on at seven-thirty in the morning?" Lightning asked. "Nothing really," Rayne replied. "The news" "How are you feeling?" Doc asked. "A little sore, but good" Rayne said smiling. "Well, we need to get you to school" Lightning said. "It wouldn't make a very good first impression if you were late to your first day." "I know" Rayne said. "I'm going." "You don't want me to come along?" Lightning asked, slightly hurt. He never had the joy of taking his daughter to her first day of school because he had been out racing when school started. He had been looking forward to doing it today. "Dad, I'll be fine," Rayne said. "I need to make some friends so I don't have to spend all my time around you two." "Oh, thanks" Lightning said, slightly taken aback on his daughter's attitude towards he and Doc. "Dad, I'd drive you two crazy, and you guys would drive me crazy. It's a mutual relationship," Rayne said. "Besides, I'm kind of excited." "Okay, okay" Lightning said. "I get it. Go ahead, but I'm going to watch you train today." "Well, duh" Rayne said. "All crew chiefs assist with training. It's mandatory for them to." "First of all, young lady, watch your tone." Lightning warned his daughter. "And secondly, Doc is your crew chief, not me. I don't need that pressure in addition to everything else I have to worry about." "Okay" Rayne said. "I'm going to go. I'll see you later." "Bye," Lightning said. "Have fun!" "Will do!" Rayne called as she drove away. Lightning watched his daughter drive away, feeling a pang of sadness. She was growing up so quickly. It seemed like just yesterday she was a three-year-old, attempting to go over thirty miles an hour for the first time, or a ten-year-old trying to sneak out to go tractor tipping with Mater. "You okay, Rookie?" Doc asked, glancing over to where Lightning was sitting, he looked like he was lost. "Huh? Oh! I'm fine" Lightning replied. "They just grow up really fast." Doc laughed. "They sure do, Kiddo," Doc said "It makes me wish that Sally and I had more kids than just Rayne" Lightning said.

Doc pulled up next to Lightning and said "You know you and Sally are still young enough that you can still have more children if you want to." Cars could have children well into their 60s and 70s with out any suffering any health effects. "Michael or I can easily reverse your vasectomy" he said. "No, Sally and I decided that we only wanted one child. That's why I had the procedure done" Lightning said. About a year after Rayne was born, Lightning and Sally sat down and very seriously discussed having more children. After Lightning saw how much pain Sally was in during delivery, he did not wish to put her through that again. Zoë said the second and following pregnancies and labors after are normally easier for the mother, but she there was cases where they have been harder on them. Lightning also felt guilty leaving Sally to raise Rayne by herself while he was out racing. He hired a nanny to help Sally but, still felt bad about leaving Sally alone with Rayne.

Flashback: Doc and Lightning were sitting out at Willies Butte. It was a week after they had come home after Lightning won his second piston cup. "Are you ready for tomorrow?" Doc asked. "Yeah… am I doing the right thing Doc?" Lightning asked. "That's a personal question Kid, only you can answer that" Doc said. "I can only offer medical advice." "What's your advice?" Lightning asked "Vasectomies are very safe and effective. It will only take a few hours in Michael's office and you will be awake the entire time. It won't affect your racing or once you heal, your sex" Doc said. "You're kind of young to have this done, but I have preformed it on males as young as eighteen. "Mack and I have had long conservations about it. He said that he had his vasectomy done at twenty." Lightning explained "He basally talked me in to it. He's one of the happiest guys I know." "If you and Sally change your mind and want more children, it can be easily reserved." "Thanks Doc, but we are not having any more children. It almost killed me so see Sally in that much pain." Lighting said, Doc opened his mouth to say something, but Lightning cut him off." I know what you're going to say. I understand that second pregnancies and labor, are supposed to be easer, but I'm not going to chance it. What worries me the most is I'm going start gaining weight. I read the information that Michael gave me said that weight gain is possible." "Kid, it is yours and Sally's choice" Doc said. "If you have made up your mind, than do it. I'll support any choice you'll make. As for gaining weight, you normally gain weight during the off season anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that. I'll be performing a surgery tomorrow morning as well. So you are on your own, or do you want me to cancel it and hold your fucking tire the entire time." "No Doc, I can't have you cancel a surgery." Lightning said "Sally is coming with me, and she can hold my fucking tire. I'll see you later Doc" Bye Kid" Doc said as Lightning drove away.

Lightning drove home slowly, his mind on his surgery tomorrow morning. "Hi, Stickers!" Sally said as he rolled though the front door. He kissed his wife and parked next to her. Sally was couch nursing Rayne. "Do you want to hold her?" "Absolutely" Lightning said. Sally laid Rayne on his hood. Rayne looked at her father, she smiled and cooed. Sally caressed Lightning side. "Ok, what's wrong?" Sally said "You're normally very happy when you're holding Rayne." "Nothing really, I'm just nervous about tomorrow morning." Lightning said "I'm starting to have second thoughts." "Light, it's ok and it's normal to be nervous" Sally said. "I'll be right by your side so there is noting to worry about." Sally kissed her husband and caressed his fender. Lightning put his daughter on the floor. Her favorite toy was on the other side of the room. Rayne tried to crawl across the floor with little success, and she let out a squeal of frustration. Sally got her toy and sat in down next to her. Rayne smiled at her mother and she happily laid on the floor and played with it. "Yep, she's defiantly your daughter" Sally said. "She has the same goofy smile you do." "You think I have a goofy smile?" Lightning asked. "Sometimes, do you have everything packed for tomorrow?" Sally asked "I'll help you if your not." "Yes, I think so." Lightning said as he pointed to small bag sitting on the floor. "I had Doc go though it this afternoon to make sure that I had everything.

After dinner: For some reason Rayne was getting fussy and nothing Lightning did cheered her up. "There's one thing that always works." Sally said and picked up Rayne. Sally put her in a harness and then attached the harness to a weird looking frame. "Watch…" Sally said and she genially pushed down on Rayne's hood and then let go. Rayne jumped about an inch off the floor. Once she came down Rayne jumped again giggling happily. Rayne jumped up and down doing little artistic things with her tires when her she was in the air. Sometimes her jump would cause her to spin around causing her to squeal with joy. "I've discovered that Rayne loves to jump, she'll do that for hours if I let her." Sally said "I think that we have a ballerina on our tires." "Or a kangaroo" Lightning said as he watched his daughter jumping happily. A few hours later: Lightning picked Rayne up and changed her diaper. As always, he struggled with it but he managed to get it on her with out making a huge mess. Sally gave Rayne her bedtime bottle and put her in her crib for the night. Lightning and Sally spent a quiet night watching a movie and then they then went to bed themselves.

The alarm went off at five. Lightning crawled out of bed and headed to the shower. He turned on the shower to get warm. He went to bag and pulled out the special soap that Michael had given him. Lightning went back to the shower and washed his privets with the soap. When he was done, Lightning went back to the master bedroom only to see that Sally was gone. He grabbed the bag and headed down to the kitchen. The nanny, a black hackney carriage, greeted him as soon as she saw him. "Good morning Lightning!" Penny said in her British accent. Rayne gurgled happily when she saw her father. "Good morning Penny, good morning Rayne" Lightning said as he set the bag on the counter. He went over and pored himself a cup of coffee. Sally sat at kitchen table, reading the paper. "Do you want anything to eat?" Sally offered. "No, Doc has advised me not to eat anything this morning. I might vomit during the procedure." An hour later, it was time to leave. Rayne's parents kissed her goodbye, left Penny final instructions, and then headed to Michael's office.
