Chapter 20 Breakfast at Flo's

It seemed like everyone was at Flo's for their breakfast. "You know, some automotive yoga could really lower your RPM's, man." Filmore said.

"Oh, take a car wash, hippie." Sarge said.

"Yeah, look at my husband, y'all!" Flo said as Ramone came up. Ramone was wearing yellow this time. "Whoo! That's your color!"

"Yellow, baby." Ramone said.

"Mmm. Toy smokin' hot!" Flo exclaimed. Lightning just came racing in.

"There he is," Sheriff grouched. Lightning came skidding to a halt.

"Oh my gosh! Did you know Doc is a famous racecar?" Everyone looked at McQueen like he was crazy then they all laughed.

"Doc? Our Doc?" Sheriff questioned.

"Not Doc Hudson." Said Sarge. I had just reached Lightning.

"No, no, no, no, it's true! He's a real racing legend." Lightning explained. "He's The Fabulous Hudson Hornet!"

"Fabulous? I never seen Doc drive more then 20 miles an hour." Flo said. "I mean, have you ever seen him race?"

"No, but I wish I could have. They say he was amazing!" Lightning said. "He won three Piston Cups!" Mater spat his oil out he was drinking.

"He did what in his cup?" Mater asked.

"I think the heat's startin' to get to the boy!" Sheriff joked.

"Well, I'll say! Look how red he is." Lizzie said.

"I think he needs a coat of poly, man." Ramone said.

"Are you sick, buddy?" Mater asked.

"You are lookin' a little peaked." Sheriff said.

"He needs a new coat of poly for sure" Ramone said; Sally then pressed a button to lower the hose into Lightning's tank.

"Hey! What are you doin'?" Sheriff asked.

"It's OK. You can trust me, right?" Sally said.

"I trust you, all right. It's him I'm worried about." Sheriff said pointing toward Lightning.

"Hmm... I trust him." Sally said with a smile. "Come on, let's take a drive."

"A drive?" Lightning asked.

"Yeah, a drive." Sally rolled her eyes. "Don't you big city racecars ever just take a drive?"

"Ah... No. No, we don't." Lightning said; the gas bump had just finished. Sally began her drive into the road to the right. Lightning put the pump back where it was and drove to the street. Lightning turned to the left and looked down. Sally stopped and face Lightning. I was ready to jump on him if he does end up leaving. While Sheriff turned on his siren lights but without the siren.

"Hey, Stickers! You comin' or what?" Sally asked in the distant. Sally drive in the opposite direction speeding a bit away. Lightning slowly backed up then took off in Sally's direction.

"Mm-hm!" Flo began to Sheriff. "And you thought he was gonna run." Sheriff relaxed turning off his lights and I relaxed as well. I sighed with relief.

"Hey, can you believe it, man?" Asked Ramone. "He actually thought Doc was a famous racecar!" He laughed at that. "That's so too much!" I had walked onto the street and also looked down the road to freedom. I looked back to the direction Sally went with Lightning. I huffed with frustration. I ended up walking away.

"Two or three more days." I thought aloud to myself walking down the street to freedom. Then again, Sheriff and others did not care if I left of not. Mater, Lightning and Flo knew of my Beast form. Then it hit me. If they did not act too bad and flee, maybe I can trust them with my form. I just need the right moment to tell them.
