The OC -John Black, Chavo- Belongs to Ghost 1998

Frogman-24-I get to make a comment only after this chapter has been posted for an hour, and get to be the first one make a comment...that's so cool and has to be a record for me, I'm normally the last one to make a comment. I'm sorry that I can't read your chapters as soon as they come out. I'm just to busy for that.-It's okay, just review whenever you can.

Tara got Strip's old number? I bet that will bring her good luck. I know Strip will be proud of her once he learns that she has his number. I nearly fell off of the chair laughing when I saw that Thunder got McQueen's number, good job!. It's good to see that Tara spent part of her winnings on the pit crew, that was nice of her. Like that Doc has all of the normal males vices...enjoying a good cigar, a shot of Scotch, and jacking off. I'm assuming that Sophie had something to do with that. I also think that it was a good thing for Doc to reassure Tara that she can race in the piston cup.- It's always scary, when you're teen and you start competing with the adults... I did it when I was showing horses.

-23-I feel bad for Doc, to be betrayed by the woman you love. I'm glad it happed before the marriage. I could see her demanding half of everything that Doc owned and then run of Edge. Although it's painful, Doc can talk about it. Sophia sounds like a strong woman and has no problems telling Doc what she thinks. Good for her, I love strong women, they keep me on my toes! LOL!-Good for you, some men fear strong women. I'm happy that you cherish strong women. If not, we would kick your but until you did!(Just kidding)

I could see Tara's ice cream comment coming. I still laughed at it! Good job with the exam. I played football in high school and that sound exactly like the exam I used to get...well minus the girl parts.-That's good to know that you said it was like yours. I try to make the story as real as I can, sometimes it's possible and sometimes it not.

-21-It's nice to see that Doc has enemies as well. I got a feeling that Edge is going to cause problems for Doc and Tara. He's just mad that Julie chose Doc over him, he just should get over it and move on. It's a good idea to let Strip know how Doc feels about the idea of letting his rival back into the league. Very funny moment between Sally and McQueen. It's nice to see that there is still physical attraction between them. I liked seeing the new racecars, it will be interesting to see how the fit into the story. -They won't be a major part of the stoy, but they will be mentioned from time to time.

As for Guest 01 and HMG. You need to grow up, and stop acting like 5 year olds. That's all I'm going to say about that.-No comment

Your doing good, please keep going!-Thank you!.

-20-It's good to know that Charlie is getting better. I've had a concussion and I know how that feels. Having a 3 day headache was not fun. I think that Chick's se-wife is going to cause trouble for Tara and her family. Chelsea wants what she can't have. I like Guest 2 idea, have McQueen arrest her for harassing him.-I'm planning on writing that in, I just haven't got to it yet.

guest 2-Well, seems I'm the only one who reviewed. You really did shut your pals up over the fight.-Chance did text me the next afternoon to say he was sorry. and said he wasn't going to leave any more comments. I told him that it was okay to leave comments, they just need to be about the story.

I laughed my pants off reading this chapter.- HAHAHA! Please put your pants back on, I don't need to see you running around in your undies...LOL!

Didn't know Lightning was a racing steward. Feels honourable that Tara's wearing The King's old racing number as he was a legend you could look up to.-Yes, I wanted her to have the strength that number would give her, even if it's all in her head.

Embarrassing for Thunder being stuck with Lightning's old number but Lightning had nothing to do with it. Chick's just stubborn and ungrateful. Lightning could end up arresting Chick if he stirs up any extreme shit.-Uh...okay, I don't know if I can use it, I'll let you know soon.

Lightning's very funny and seductive when talking Sally in to sex. Hahaaa! Funny with Doc scaring Tara, sitting in the Jacuzzi with a scotch and a cigar and pleasuring himself. Unexpected with the cigar and scotch but good. Tara shouldn't let her father's wreck put her off her career as its what she's wanted her whole life as well as a man who actually loves her. Hope you do have a part coming where Chance and Tara say they love each other.-They finally say to each other right before Tara leaves Charlottesville. It's in a couple of chapters.

If these ideas sound good maybe have a part where Lightning's parents are visiting, both Lightning and Doc are in the Jacuzzi sipping on a scotch, whiskey, sherry, and a cigar casually together then Lightning gets caught out by surprise by his displeased mother, father, and wife shouting 'Lightning Owen Fergus McQueen'. That's idea 1.- I don't think that Lightning's mother would be displeased, after all she did marry and Irishman. I'll have to think on this idea, I like it, but right now I don't have a place for it.

Idea 2. When you do eventually get to it. The way Brody went in that spoiler you wrote he should die with Lightning being the one to end it for him. Maybe have it where Lightning disarms Brody's knife and stabs him in the heart, looks him in the eye, and curses him in Irish as he dies. Such a long review but at least I'm still here. You decide on those ideas. Just helping out the way you like it. It's your choice-I have Brody's fate already decided. But thanks for the great idea.

Chick's reaction towards Thunder having Lightning's old racing number rather than another number or Chick's he makes it sound like Thunder's gonna have bad luck. Real support he's putting in his son complaining over his racing number as well as being a disloyal, diabolical liberty taking, affair committing twat. It's clear Chelsea wants to be rid of Chick for good but then it's all about who Thunder goes to live with and who's gonna replace Chick as Chelsea's husband. Lightning she's aiming at. HA! No chance!- Chelsea will try to get Lightning back, but I haven't figured out how. Lightning will refuse her every time. His hart belongs to Sally.

Sorry about the constant reviews but new words are just coming to me afterwards.-No, keep the ideas coming. Most of your ideas are excellent, there's not many that I haven't used or planning to use.

Chelsea could do with a confrontation from Lightning about the facts that she broke his heart the way she did, tried and is now trying to win him back again and the mess she's in if you like that idea. Coz she did dump him and went spreading fraudulent bullshit about him to his parents which got him thrown out and he lost their respect for nothing. Years later and after he suffered multiple injuries she's tries winning him over again and even though he'd moved on and met Sally. Now that he's retired and even though he's married Chelsea's still flirts and tries seducing him and that's insulting. I'm only helping, you don't have to use the ideas. Whatever you have planned we all know it'll be good-Another great idea, let me if I can work this into the story. Maybe right before Lightning arrests her for harassing him. It's going to be a while before we get to that part, I'll have to see, I haven't had time to work on that part of the story.

Twister2021-Great chapter. I would like to see a another chapter to where the family takes a vacation to the USVI and have to go through a hurricane. Thanks-welcome and thank you for the kind words. As for your idea, you're too late. Thank you, it was a good idea. In Distractions, Lightning and Sally go to Mexico for their honeymoon and while they are there a tropical storm hits.

-17-Great chapter. I have a some really nice names for a baby girl. There is Pauline, Angelica Rose, Mia, or Kono.-I haven't decided on a name yet, so I'll keep that in mind. Good idea my friend, keep them coming!

Chapter 23. - Dinner With The Planes-

Time warp back to seven thirty: Lightning and Sally's transports arrived airport. Reporters were milling about. As soon as they saw Lightning and Sally get out of the

transport, they immediately started taking pictures of them. "I wish those cockroaches" Lightning grumbled. "Would stop following me around." "They were here when we got

here, there was no way that they knew that we would be coming tonight" Sally said. "I think they were following Dusty and Rip. You're not the only famous racer that gets

followed everywhere he goes." Lightning just nodded. Lightning and Sally drove in to the restaurant. Everything in the restaurant was fancy… from the crystal chandeliers to

the intricately carved furniture and the formally dressed servers. The cars felt slightly out of place because it was clear this restaurant was for designed airplanes, but all kinds

vehicles were welcome here. The host led them straight through the restaurant and to a secluded room at the back. Lightning and Sally's eyes widened as she realized that

this room was even more beautiful than the rest of the restaurant, and completely private. The lights were dimmed, the table was elegantly decorated with fresh flowers and a

huge lit candle in the middle. In the corner of the room there was a violist playing a softly. The other two couples were there waiting on them. Dusty and Rip rushed to greet

them. "Welcome, welcome." Dusty said as he gave Sally a little kiss on the fender, and shook Lightning's tire. "Please make yourselves comfortable." Rip also gave Sally a

little peck on the finder, and shook Lightning's tire. Dipper and Ishani took turns hugging each of the cars. Then everyone took their seat that the large table. The table was

large for everyone to sit at and not be cramped. Once everyone was settled, their waiter for the evening came over and offered everyone a cocktail. All but Ishani ordered a

drink. "We just found out that I'm pregnant" She said. "We haven't even told Bridgette yet." "Wow, Lightning said "That didn't take long." "At least they waited until they were

married" Sally scolded. "You got me pregnant a few months before our wedding. There was a flu going around town and I thought I had just caught it, and with all the stress,

I was going though at the time, I just thought it wasn't going away. I wasn't until we got back from our honeymoon that I learned that I was pregnant. I heard all the gripes

that I deliberately got pregnant so you'll have to marry me." Lightning frowned "Who said that?" He asked "I'll beat the living crap out of them. Besides we were engaged long

before we knew you were pregnant." "Light relax." Sally said, Lightning still frowned at her "I know you're not going to let this go so I'm going to tell you. Mostly it was from

on-line chatter, some of your crazy fan girls thought that they could still had a chance with you. That included the twins." "Mia and Tea" Lightning said "Some how I'm not

surprised. Those two have chased me my whole career." "Don't worry" Sally said. "Flo finally put her tire down and demanded them to grow up or they would be looking for

another job." "Don't worry about it Light" Ishani said. "When it was announced that I was marring Rip, I got the same treatment too. But I got it from both sides. From Rip's

fans and my own." "I got some too, facing a thousand degree forest fire… no problem. Dusty's crazy girl fans… that is a different story." Dipper nervously said "I was so

freaked out by the some of the hate mail I got. I had problems doing my job. My nervous were fried to the max. It got so bad that Blade called me into his office to have a

'discussion.' I showed him the letters, and boy was he pissed, but not at me. He gave me a few days off and called Dusty to let him know what was going on." "I immediately

cancelled my next race and flew to the air attack base" Dusty said "I sent for a counselor and we spent the next few days taking about it. The counseling sessions worked and

I'm happy to say that Lea is back to her happy and hyper self." "Sometimes it still bothers me" Dipper said "But I'm getting used to it." "I know its weird talking to a therapist"

Lightning said "My father-in-law had called one in shortly after Brody's attack. I felt so much better after talking about it." "So Farmboy, you are the last one left…" Rip said

playfully. "When are you going to get Dipper pregnant?" Dipper blushed deeply, she was still getting used to the sexual brassiness of racers. It doest matter of they have

wings or wheels, racers are very open with their sexuality. "In a year or two" Dusty said, unfazed by the harsh question. "Lea and I are really busy, and we have decided to

wait. Besides Blade would have my engine if I got Lea pregnant before he could find a temporary replacement for her." "Your chief won't let you fight fires if you're pregnant?"

Sally asked "Is aerial firefighting really that dangerous? You are a plane and you just flyover any fire." "You're not alone thinking that it safer than ground based firefighting. I

hear that from a lot of people but, I'm sorry to say that information is wrong" Dipper said. "Aerial wild land firefighting is the most dangerous type of firefighting. Smoke and

ash can get into your engine and can lead to a crash if you are not careful. Large forest fires even have the ability to make powerful air currents that throw you around like a

toy plane. It can cause you to crash before you even know what happened. The fire is not the only thing you have to worry about. Depending on the size of the fire, you might

have a dozen or more planes flying around, so the risk of colliding with another plane is very high." "We had that happen last year at the largest fires of the season." Dusty

said "A cocky rookie was ordered to a holding pattern by the air boss that was on duty that day. To make a long story short, he ignored the command to go into a holding

pattern. He headed for the fire… before anyone had time to react, he collided with a helicopter that was just cleared to make a drop. The collision ripped a wing off of him and

he plummeted to ground in a fireball." "Oh my goodness!" Ishani said "What happed to the helicopter?" "She crashed too" Dusty said. "But she was a skycrane, so she was

strong enough to control her decent enough to keep from fatality crashing into the ground. The helicopter was critically injured, but as far as I know, she survived." "I'm

assuming" Lightning said "The plane was killed." "Yes" Dipper said "If the crash itself didn't kill him, the fire did. He crashed right on the top of the fire. By the time ground

crews got to the sight, all were left of him was a twisted and charred frame." "It was my first fatality." Dusty said "Since becoming a firefighter." "It's been a few years for me"

Dipper said "That's why we're waiting to have kids. As soon as Blade suspected that I was pregnant, he would pull me off active duty. He might be a tough and demanding air

boss to work for, but his number one concern is our safety. He does not hastate to pull us out of a situation that becomes to dangerous for us to continue working in." "How is

your adorable daughter doing?" Lightning asked "I think she was trying to get sick at my retirement party." "You mean Bridgette? She's fine and back to being a bundle of

energy. When you saw her last, she wasn't trying to get sick" Rip said. "She WAS getting sick. After we got back to the hotel, she felt somewhat warm so I took her

temperature. As expected, it was elevated. I gave her some cold medicine and Ishani helped give Bridgette a cool shower. By the time we put her to bed, her temperature had

gone down, so we went to bed ourselves. Bridgette woke us up a little before three in the morning complaining that her stomach hurt and before we could do anything, she

vomited all over the place. Her temperature had returned, we put her back into bed. In attempt to keep her hydrated Ishani got her sip on some water, but Bridgette couldn't

even keep that down. After two hours of Bridge vomiting what ever we gave her, we ended up taking her to the emergency room. The doctor was able to give her something

that help with the vomiting. After treating her, the doctor said that there was a stomach virus going around, and that is what he believes Bridgette has, but her case is a little

more severe that he had seen so far. He recommended that she stay in the hospital for a few days. To keep Bridge hydrated ordered an I.V." "I have had plenty of those"

Lightning said "They can be painful." "Bridge didn't really didn't mind, she only whimpered a little when the nurse put it in. In about forty-eight hours, Bridge was felling better

and was released from the hospital. To be on the safe side, I kept her with us for another week to make sure she was well enough to go back to the boarding school. Which

made Bridge mad, because she loves it there, and calls it her second home. She has many friends there. There have been times that I had to convince her to come and see

us. As long as she loves being here, I don't have to worry about her as much. They take good care of her, so I can't complain." Soon: The waiter brought them their drinks

and the couples spent the evening enjoying the evening. Of course there was plenty of kissing and cuddling as well. When the waiter brought the bill for dinner, all thee men

reached for it. There was some disagreement among them about who was going to pay for it. All three demanded that they wanted to. Ishani suggested that the bill be

separated in to three equal parts, that way they all could pay for dinner. None of the men were happy about it, but they finally agreed on Ishani's compromise. "You guys

want to come and have an evening drink with us?" Rip said "There's plenty of room." "Sorry Rip" Dusty yawned "I have training with Skipper at five. Lea has a firefighting

demonstration in the morning. I'm afraid we're going have to pass this time. Besides the last time I had an 'evening drink' with you, I got so drunk that I ended up spending

the night with you. In the morning I had such a hangover that I barfed all over Zed and Ned." "That's right, I forgot all about that" Rip said. "The twins haven't. They cringe

when ever the see you are drunk and heading in their direction." "We don't have much to do tomorrow" Lightning said. "I don't know about Sally, but I wouldn't mind having

an evening drink with you." "Sure" Sally said. "I think I would like that too." The three couples headed back to the hotel, with Dusty and Lea heading to their suite. Lightning

and Sally followed Rip. As expected he had the entire top floor to himself. "We have to be a little quiet" Rip said "I don't know if Bridgette is asleep yet. Since there is no

school tomorrow, I told her that she could stay up as late as she wanted to." "Does Bridgette want to be a racer?" Sally asked "No, I don't think so" Rip said "I did enter her in

a few junior races and she did well. But Bridgette did it because I asked her, not because she wanted to. Bridgette's teachers said that she's interested in architecture. She

likes to draw, in fact she's always doodling. She's way above her grade level in math, so if she wants to be an architect, that's fine by me. I'm not going to be one of those

parents that force their kids into doing something that they hate because they want attention from everyone. Attention is something that I have no problems getting." "I know

what you mean" Lightning said. "There are sometimes that I wish I wasn't famous so I could drive somewhere and not be mobbed by crazy fans." Dusty, Rip, and Ishani

agreed with him.
