The folks returned home. Without McQueen.
Sally knew that would happen. A few days past. The town even noticed the change in Sally. She was heartbroken silently. Flo knocked on th motel
Door and brought Sally some lunch one evening. "Hey ther baby." Flo greeted. Sally was typing on her computer. She was actually looking up McQueens picture. Sulking. She closed the tabs quick. "Hey Flo." Flo put the bag of food down on the desk and replied "Got some food for you." Sally smiled and thanked her friend. Flo continued. "I'm sorry he didn't come back..". Sally frowned and replied. "It's okay Flo? He has a life there. My life is here." Flo frowned. She knew that this town would be the end of Sally.. no suiters.. not any for Sally's fit anyway.. Flo sat down to be real with Sally and spoke "You want kids? A husband? One day?" Sally's eyes widened. She thought before answering Flo, "Well one day. Not now?" Flo smiled a sad smile and continued "Have you considered leaving town? Your young. You know as well as I do that you don't have a real future here darlin?" Sally lowered her brows. A bit upset with that. Sally harshly replied back "I am not going anywhere? And I have hopes for this town? I know I can get it back?!" Flo frowned. As smart and witty as Sally was.. the town was dead. Flo smiled. And stood up. Flo hugged Sally and spoke "We all love you Sally." She kissed the girls head and walked out. Sally thought about it. She took the food and drove up to Wheel well for a while to clear her head...
She ate. She sat there for a few hours. Pondering. She looked out at the highway.. at the town.. "Maybe I made a mistake.." she mumbled. She stood up facing Wheel well.. "I'm gonna get this town back.. I just gotta..". She stared at the motel.. she sighed. Then a loud engine four. Sally looked. It was just some red corvette with the classic paint job of one.. she stared at the dimmed windows. The door opened. Her eyes widened it was him! It was McQueen! Part of her wanted to run into his arms and grab hold of him.. but she didn't. "Just passin trough!?" She asked. Lightning started to walk closer "I thought stop and stay a while. I heard his place is back on the map." He smiled. Sally gave a confused look as McQueen was in front of her now. Sporting a nice racing jacket. "It is?" Sally asked. A little disbelief. It wasn't?
Lightning replied "yeah? Some rumor that some hot shot piston cup racer was moving his big racing head quarters here." He rolled his eyes. Sally excitedly replied "Really!?" Lightning thought that was cute. He smiled. Sally blushed a bit and stepped back and said "Oh well there goes the town.." Lightning chuckled a bit. He looked at her. He loved her.. He wanted to let her know.. "You know I really missed you Sally?" Sally smiled and replied back with a joke, "Well I create feelings in others that they themselves..." Lightning smiled and grabbed her arms gently as she continued "Don't understand and bla bla bla bla bla.." Lightning couldn't help but shake his head and laugh a little he leaned in and Sally did to. They were only inch away when suddenly Mater in a helicopter came up. The wind power alomost stojg enough to make you fall
Down! Mater yelled a childish rhyme. Then off again.
Lightning chuckled. "He's my best friend. What are you gonna do?" They smiled. Sally flirted "So Stickers? Last one to Flos buys?" Lightning smiled. Be honest no girl had ever kinda asked him out. Lightning was more les thinking of getting her alone. Being affectionate rather than racing again "I don't know?.. how about a nice drive?" Sally got into her car. Next to Lightning. "Mmmm.. nah?" She sped off. Lightning smiled. He was in love with her. He got into his vette and sped off after her.
Sally was there first. They both parked and got out. Sally stood near her hood. Lightning came up tonher and spoke "Well maybe I'm not faster than everyone." He joked. Sally giggled a bit. It was cute. Flo came up. With a big smile. "He came back." She said to Sally. Lightning was standing next to her. Sally gazed into his eyes. Lightning answered for her "Well I couldn't stay away to long? Never got to even formally ask you out?" Flo smiled. They were cute. She walked away. Happy for Sally. Lighting and Sally sat down it wasn't bad for a first little date. That night the town celebrated the return of McQueen. A cruise night!
The neon looked amazing! The town wasn't truly back on the map tonight. Which was nice. Just the townsfolk enjoying themselves. Everyone danced and enjoyed it. Sally leaned on Lightning's chest close as they danced. 'Sherry by Frankie valli' played. Lightning smiled. He kissed Sally's head. She felt so much love. "Thank you." Sally said to him. Lightning smiled and pulled her away just to see her face. Sally was wearing her normal clothes. They both were tonight. Lightning spun her gently around in a circle and swayed with her in circles slow. "Hoping you'll allow me at the motel again." Sally rolled her eyes and answered. "Ofcorse?" Lightning answered back "Maybe I could stay with you?" He joked. Kinda. Sally laughed a little and they stopped as the music changed. She replied "I'm not that kinda girl Stickers." Lightning smiled and replied "Hey I can dream." Sally
Let him go and said "Well maybe some of that dream can be reality." Lightning blushed and stared. A little shocked. Unexpected. He felt himself get nervous. Sally smiled as she noticed his expression. Sally came close to him. Lightning put his hands on her hips.. Sally put hers behind his neck. Lightning thought they'd be dancing again. But Sally pulled his face close and she leaned upward and kissed him sweetly and quickly. Just a little kiss. Lightning smiled. As she stared at his eyes. Lighting leaned in and kissed her again. More passionately this time. Ramone elbowed his wife to look. Flo smiled and spoke "Sally deserves a little fun." Ramone nodded and flirted with his wife taking her hand "I know another woman that deserves a little fun." Flo smiled and replied. "Mama thought you'd never ask baby!" Ramone laughed as he took his wife.
Sally pulled away from Lightning. "Come on Then." She pulled him away from the dancing and folks. McQueen was nervous a bit and followed. She pulled him to the last cone. She started to open the door but Lightning didn't wait. He turned her around and pushed Sally against the door and kissed her again. Exploring her mouth. His touch felt good. His kiss felt amazing. He let go of her as she opens the door. They shut he door and They both began to stop down quick. They were in love and rushing it like a couple of crazy kids. Making out as they stripped down and Lightning pushed Sally to the bed gently...
Doc saw them go into the cone. He smiled a bit. Happy for Sally. But weary. He didn't want the racer to break her heart.
