I'm back! I'm better than ever! I've taken a note that you want happy storyline, so you're gonna get happy storyline! But if you want I could always add the chapter on at the end so then you could just see what it would've been like, cool with you?

1 Month Later

Susannah slowly woke from her deep sleep; she looked over to Mater who was not yet awake. She sighed deeply in dismay, he still didn't know her little secret and she didn't want to lie to him anymore, but also she didn't want to tell him.

She slowly drove over to Flo's, where she took her usual place, next to Fillmore and Doc. "Hey there Susannah, you alright?" Doc greeted in his usual friendly manner.

"I'm good," Susannah replied yawning.

Flo came over to the three with their usual can of fuel, "You gonna help out again, hon?" She asked, once the three had thanked her.

"Well, Flo, I was hoping that I could get a job here." Susannah said hopefully.

"Of course you can hon! All you had to do was ask!" Flo exclaimed.

Susannah smiled at her, "Thanks Flo! You're the best! Do you mind if I start tomorrow?"

Flo chuckled at her comment, "Cause you can sweetie."

"Hey Susannah," Mater said driving past her.

"Hi Mater," She said back, smiling affectionately at him.

So they spent half an hour or so talking about random things, until a dark blue Mini Cooper came rushing to where everyone was, shouting, "They're here!"

Susannah nearly spat her fuel out when she heard this, "my family?" She asked getting nearer to him.

"Yeah, c'mon follow me." Misery said panting, so the two left off for Willy's Butte.

"You've liked her from the beginning haven't you?" McQueen asked Mater once Susannah was out of sight.

"What?" Mater asked, trying to sound as innocent as possible.

McQueen chuckled at his attempt, "C'mon, it's been obvious from the beginning, then I saw her and Razor together and that's when I started to think things."

"Was it that obvious?" Mater asked in humiliation.

"Yup."

"C'mon Stickers, don't embarrass him." Sally interrupted.

The three were interrupted from their bickering as they saw Susannah and Misery returning with a yellow Ford Focus (Lewis), a lilac VW Beetle (Sarah) and a red Ferrari Enzo (Martin). Susannah introduced everyone to her family. Then she took them on a full tour of Radiator Springs, but Lewis didn't seem at all impressed with the small town.

Mater watched them go from one destination to the other and said wondrously to McQueen, "I think I'm gonna ask her the question."

"What? The question?" McQueen asked, a touch shocked by what he had just said. "Don't you think it's a bit early for that?"

"I shoulda done it a long time ago." Mater said, still staring into space, "I've just gotta hope that every thing goes well."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was setting on the small town; everyone was a Flo's V8 Café, talking about the great business that had occurred all day. Mater looked at everyone from the distance before driving to Susannah, who was quite intent in talking to Doc and Fillmore about – more – random stuff.

"Err, hey Susannah, you wanna take a drive?" He asked, his voice shaking uncontrollably with nervousness.

"Yeah." Susannah didn't hesitate to answer.

Mater looked over to McQueen who muttered the words, 'You go girlfriend.' Mater gave him an unpleasant frown before leaving for the Wheel Well where they admired the views that the sunset offered.

"Susannah?" He asked, his voice shaking even more.

"Yeah?" She answered.

Mater turned to face her, took a deep breath and said, "Susannah, I think it's clear now that we wanna spend the rest of our lives with each other right? Well I just wanted to ask yer, can we take it one step further?"

Susannah's smile dropped as she said, "You're not talkin' about…" she looked around and lowered her voice, "little cars are you? If you are…"

Mater backed away, eyes wide, "No!" He returned to his original place, "I'm askin' yer to marreh me."

Susannah looked around, shuffling her tire around nervously.

"What?" Mater asked, worried that he had something to upset her.

"Mater," Susannah sighed deeply, "My dad would never accept us."

"Oh," was all that he said all though it was full of dismay.

"Yes!" Susannah shouted joyfully.

Mater backed away in shock, "you will?"

"Yes!" Susannah rolled closer to him.

"No." An all too familiar voice debated.

Susannah turned around to see a yellow Ford Focus frowning at them furiously.

"Dad?" Susannah asked, looking from Lewis to Mater, then back again.

Lewis drove next to Susannah, "Could you leave us for a moment?" He asked Mater, who glanced unsurely at Susannah.

"I think you better go." She said.

He quickly looked at Lewis before leaving the two alone, once he was out of sight Susannah went to the edge of the cliff (thing). Looking at the sunset borderline and said quietly, "It's gonna start again isn't it?"

"No." Lewis said, though Susannah was doubtful that his answer was truthful.

"You don't know how to," Susannah chuckled to herself.

"Y'know, it's a good thing I was here to stop you making the worst decision of your life," Lewis told her.

"What?" Susannah turned to face her father, "you can't promise me one thing, you promised I could wed the person I wanted."

"You're 18!" He shouted, anger growing.

Susannah's engine revved in annoyance, "I'm not a kid anymore! I don't need your hand to hold every time I cross a bridge of my life!"

"Look at you!" Lewis hit the ground with his tire, "I want you to find a nice sports car like yourself…"

"But I've found Mater, I just want you to be proud of me for once in my pathetic… worthless life!" Susannah yelled. Lewis looked deeply into his daughters pain filled eyes, "you can't can you? It's just impossible for you to be proud of me."

"But…"

"There are no buts! You know I wouldn't care if this was the last conversation I had with you!" Lewis backed away, hurt by her comment.

"Susie?"

Susannah looked around to see McQueen, "You want me to find someone like him, huh?"

"Well, yeah." Lewis answered hesitantly unsure if he was going to regret it.

"Okay," Susannah drove over to McQueen, "Come on, Lightning! Forget about Sally! Come with me!" She turned her attention back to Lewis, "is that what you want?"

Lewis looked around, speechless by her actions, "Well…"

"Are we goin' by looks, or are we forgetting the main thing here?"

"Susannah, I just want you to have the best life possible," he said, moving closer to her.

"Get out of my life!" Susannah hollered, her engine roaring by this point, "You want me to have a good life? You better start runnin' from it then, Lewis." She stared at him waiting for an answer, he knew that she had said his name clearly to make him feel bad, and it had worked.

"Susie." McQueen said quietly rolling next to her.

"I've got everything I could ever dream here! Let me tell you, I'm not going to let you ruin it!" Susannah turned and went back down to the town with all her haste.

"Suz!" McQueen called after he, he frowned heatedly at Lewis before chasing her.

"I have to tell her about him," Lewis mumbled to himself.
