Lightning walked in he front door of the old and faded motel. Tools scattered on the front desk. Dust. The floor creeked. He rubbed the door with his hand. He smiled a bit at it. A lot of good memories here. He saw why Hudson wanted to save it. Sure it hurt a bit that all Sally's hard work would be torn down. But Lightning just took a last glance of the place. He really did miss Sally more than he put on with Hudson. He sat down in the old office chair. Thinking of all the memories here..

Jackson sat there inside his car. The door opened. He wasn't going anywhere. Just lonely and thinking. Hurt. Cruz sleeping with someone else? Without alcohol he didn't understand how to take this. He sighed with a frown. He pulled the viser down. Had an old photo of him and Cruz when they were so much younger. He crumbled up the photo. She hurt him so bad. He knew it was unfair. After everything he did to her. But he couldn't forget it. Look at her the same.

Jackson found Cruz inside the living room. Crying silently on the couch with a throw pillow in her lap. "Jackson.." she said startled. She straightened up and wiped her tears. Jackson half smiled a bit as his eyes teared up. He walked over in front of Cruz and cleared his throat "What you've done to us hurts like hell.." Cruz frowned and stared down at the floor. "I loved you. And dammit that should have been enough." He snarled. Cruz stared at him trying not to cry. Jackson couldn't forgive her. He just wouldn't. "How long are you gonna be mad at me?.." Cruz mumbled. Jackson sighed answering "I don't know?... I don't know..."...

Hudson shook hands with Fayette. Selling the shop. He stared at the empty place. For the last time. He was taking this new faze in life. Leaving his safety net. It's how it felt. This shop saved his life. Other wise he may have kept working with criminals and racing across country. Could of been a different life. He left the spare keys on the desk and drove home.

He came inside the house. Greeted by his wife. Margo hugged Hudson. They got ready for bed. He showered and stared at the trash can as he brushed his teeth. He sighed. Washed up and opened the cabinet. A bath and body bag fell out on the floor. He picked it up and noticed the box to the pregnancy test and an unused one. He pulled it out and walked out the bathroom. Margo was in bed reading a book.

Hudson cleared his throat to get her attention Margo looked over and her eyes widened. Hudson held up the box and asked "Um.. What's this?" Margo answered as she shut the book. "A pregnancy test..". Hudson walked over and sat on the bed and asked "Are you pregnant?" Margo answered softly "No. false alarm. But it's a good thing right? We just got married. Not even known each other a year? You got all his work stuff going on? It's a good thing right?" She asked. Hudson stared at the box and answered "Um. Yeah?.." he was unsure.

He wanted a family. But maybe Margo was right. He was to busy to even enjoy it?.. "When do you want kids?" He asked. realizing maybe he should have asked that before they got married. Margo shrugged answering "I don't know?.. i would love kids soon?.. but.. I think right now is a bad time.. I'm still struggling anyway after seeing Sky lose her baby.. and that farm and shop, hotel?.. the school?" Hudson saw what she meant.

"I sold the shop. Not buying the hotel. I'm doing only the entire school thing. That way. Once it's done?.. I can focus on you more to." Margo smiled and grabbed his hand "Then that's when I want a baby. Wait til the school is finished and I can have you all to myself." She flirted. Which made Hudson smile. "I'll make sure my doctor says everything is all good and I'll start eating better and get my vitamins." Hudson smiled "So we are gonna make a baby next year?" Margo smiled and nodded. Hudson joked "So can we do a practice run tonight?" He asked. Margo rolled her eyes and slapped his shoulder gently "You dirty boy Hudson!" She joked. Hudson chuckled a bit and shrugged "I can try. I'm gonna go put this back up." He stood up and Margo slapped his back side. Hudson glared with a smile at her...

...4 months later...

The slick black car pulled up. Tinted black windows. Lightning stared at it. Jackson stepped out he car. "New ride?" Lightning asked. Jackson locked the car and the headlights flashed. "Yep." He said passing Lightning by. Jackson had been off lately. Acting? Kinda like he didn't care about anything anymore. Lightning caught up to Jackson "You Okay?" Lightning asked. Jackson glared as an answer. Walking on. They went inside. Greeted by Ross. "Hey! So glad the two of you are here! I need the two of you working on savirtaran. The assistant can take you. Um Mavis!" He called. A young woman rushed over. Wearing a lavender skirt that was really short and ablack see through mesh top. Some kind of lace bralette underneath. Tall black heels. Long legs. Brown hair and light brown eyes. "Oh my gosh.. it's so awesome to meet the Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm!" Mavis said with excitement.

"Nice to meet you to?" Lightning replied and lend out his hand. Mavis laughed and explained "Oh please!? No need for hand shakes!" She grabbed Lightning and hugged him. Pressing her body against him. Then she let go and grabbed Jackson. Hugging him tight. "Okay?.. so you're a hugger?.." Jackson muttered. Mavis's body pressed against Jackson and he gently pushed her away.

Mavis shrugged smiling "Yeah sorry. Just follow me. I'll take you both to the new garage." She turned around. Jackson and Lightning's eyes both winded staring at the skirt. It had a corset back. They glanced at Ross. He chuckled and shrugged. "She is basically working for nothing. Plus she's cute!? Am I right?" Ross asked. Lightning answered "She's something?..". Mavis turned partially she was so tiny. Jackson snarled "You hired a baby." Ross raised a brow. Mavis made the finger motion to come over. Following her. Jackson sighed but he and Lightning followed the young woman. Girl. She had to be early twenties?..

"So this is where you two and Hudson will be creating Savirtron." Mavis said smiling. Lightning corrected. "it's actually Savirtaran." Mavis blushed of embarrassment "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you? I think it's an awesome name, where ever did you come up with that name?" She said this in a high but low sexy tone. Jackson raised a brow and stared at Lightning who answered "Actually it's based off the name Savitar.. god of speed." "Nerd." Jackson coughed. Mavis stepped in front of Lightning and replied "That is so cool.. you are just so smart Mr Lightning McQueen..". Lightning stared unsure what to say. He could tell Mavis was trying to flatter him.

"You don't have to do that." Lightning said. He gently pushed Mavis a few steps back. "And you don't have to dress that way." He added. Staring at her. Jackson spoke up "But you can if you want to." Mavis smiled at Jackson. Lightning's brows lowered and he glared at Jackson. "What? I mean you can't tell the girl how not to dress." Lightning just glared. Mavis spoke up. "Well.. lets get you guys to the car."...

Hudson pulled up and rushed inside. "So sorry I'm late!.." he was wearing a suit. Ross spoke up "Well go grab the car prints And let's get moving. We gotta make a good impression come on!?" Hudson rushes to the garage. Jackson and Lightning stared. Mavis greeted "Why Hello Hudson? Late again?" Hudson walked to a desk and answered "Yeah.. just need one of the print copies." Mavis rushed over. "I'll make you a copy. Be right back." She rushed out.

Lightning spoke up asking "So you met Mavis?" Hudson raised a brow and answered "Well Yeah? I hired her." Jackson snickered "Oh that explains it." He tried not to laugh. "Wait I thought Ross hired her?" Lightning asked. Hudson brushes his golden blonde hair back and explained "Well Yeah? technically?" He shrugged. "But he had me do interviews and pick out the best one. Mavis was perfect. She's perky and always smiling and helpful and eager to come to work." He finished.

Lightning replied "And Margo's okay with that?" Hudson thought for a moment. Jackson sat down at one of the desk. There were a few lined up in a row. He started laughing "He didn't tell her. She's cute. I see why you picked the little thing." Jackson said as his laugh slowed to a stop. Lightning scolded "Bad idea Hud." Hudson didn't understand and began to ask but Mavis walked back in. "Here you go boss." She smiled and handed Hudson the papers. "Also grabbed you a coffee. Made sure it's hot.. just for you." She added. Handing him a cup. Hudson glared at his dad as he thanked her. "Wow. Thank you Mavis. So helpful. Hmm. Alright I gotta go! Mavis show my dad and Jack here how to use the computer program set up? Thanks!"

Jackson yelled "Don't call me that!" "Bye Jack!" Hud yelled as he left. Jackson sighed. And began to turn on the computer near him. Mavis asked Lightning "You can work with the computer next to Mr Jackson Storm." She showed him to the desk. "Just unlock them and we can get started." Jackson stared at it. No keyboard or anything. "Mavis how are we suppose to unlock these?" He asked. Starting to get frustrated.

Mavis answered as she walked over "Oh. It's got that pad lock design. Let me help you." She grabbed Jackson's hand and hunched over. Jackson watched her move his hand but his eyes wondered to other parts of Mavis body. Wow she had a nice rack.. Jackson sighed and quickly glanced away. Mavis spoke up as she held Jackson's hand. "Wow. You have really big hands.." She giggled a bit. Jackson and Lightning glared at each other a bit. "Your son picked a good one..". Jackson snarled. Mavis replies "Awe thank you." Jackson raised his brows. He was joking but.

Mavis presses Jackson's hand down on a square pad and it lit up. Unlocking the computer. "There we go!" She said with excitement. She stood back up. Jackson was impressed a bit by the technology here. Lightning spoke up "I get it. It's like some high tech mouse pad." Mavis stared and asked "What's a mouse pad?" Jackson snickered and tried not to laugh as he added "Yea champ? What's a mouse pad?..". Lightning glared and replied "Alright Storm.. you're not that young." Jackson chuckled a bit. It was funny.

Mavis stared blankly and asked "Seriously?.. what's a mouse pad?" Lightning sighed...

Hudson and Ross made it in the self driving Mercedes to the city a few hours away. They were trying to get some people to start sponsoring the school and get a racer out there who would race the dirty sport. Clean.

Hudson and Ross had sat and gave their speech. One man who looked Japanese asked "So?.. this?.. Savirtaran? It's ready?" Hudson sighed answering "Um.. not quite? Right now we would be racing the normal modern race cars. Just until my dads design was ready. Well my dad and my design..". The business men whispered to each other and asked "When Ross told us about the school and wanting us to sponsor a racer?.. we kinda expected a more?.. feminine driver?" Hudson frowned. Jessica. "Well.. you don't have to race me? Give us a year to train the proper student and we could send one of them out. Send them out in savirtaran by then I'm sure."

The man stared at Ross and replied asking "You said Savirtaran would be ready in a few more months? Not a year?" Ross cleared his throat and began to make excuses. "well.. Hudson here tends to stretch the truth a bit.. the car will be ready in just a few months. I promise." Hudson frowned. But faked a smile for the sponsors. "Hudson, his father and Jackson Storm will be hard at work on it. I promise you. This race car will be like nothing you thought you were getting." The three men stared at each other. One leaned forward and explained. "It had better. Or we will find another way to invest." Hudson felt a bit threatened.

These were the guys who decided if the school failed or succeeded and if racing could be changed back...

Ross and Hudson walked outside after the meeting. "Ross, why did you tell them the car would be done if a few months?" Ross smiled answering "Becuase it will be." Hudson shook his head and explained "I don't think it will be? I?.. I can't do it? I mean the car yeah? But it wouldn't be tested? Right now alone it keeps overheating and catching fire and the tires don't hold up? A blow out at that speed is dangerous? It's just not gonna happen?" Ross rolled his eyes and replied "Hudson. You're a smart man. You'll figure it out." Hudson shook his head answering "Its not possible Ross?.. it would be untested and unsafe?" Ross sighed and snarled "If you cant do it maybe I should find Jessica?" Hudson's eyes widened.

"No.. no, I can do it?.." not really. Hudson knew this was a horrible and unsafe idea. "Great! And I'll have Mavis find a suit for you." Ross said as he grabbed his phone out. Hudson's brows lowered "Wait you want me? To drive a dangerous race car that won't be tested properly that already catches fire and could maybe explode?" Hudson asked. Feeling a little scared now. Ross thought about it and replied answering "Well when you put it that way I sound like an aweful person? Let's say?... I want you Hudson to be the first person to drive and control a race car over 500 miles per hour and! Bring back racing! Yes! Sounds so much better!" Ross walked off to the car. Hudson swallowed hard. Ross kept asking him to do so much...

Hudson walked into the garage and announced "Hey!.. bad news.." he walked over to Lightning and Jackson. "Savirtaran needs to be in racing condition in a few months." Jackson leaned in his chair. Lighting chuckled and replied "That's not possible." Hudson nodded and replied "I.. well it's gonna have to be. It's what Ross wants. And what the sponsors want." Jackson replied "Well we could have the car done?.. but not race ready? It wouldn't be tested properly?" Hudson sighed answering "Well we are gonna have to do what we can and make it happen." Jackson and Lightning glanced at each other.

Jackson shook his head and asked "And what idiot is gonna drive this thing?" Hudson mumbled knowing his dad would disapprove "Well.. actually I'm gonna be racing it. So?.. let's make it as safe as possible?" He shrugged. Jackson looked at Lightning. Knowing this was gonna get messy now. Lightning scolded "Are you crazy? You can't race this car?!" Hudson frowned and replied "Well Dad, it's not your choice. I'm gonna he driving it." Lightning shook his head and snarled "No!? It will be too dangerous!? I can't lose you? Margo can't lose you?!" Hudson sighed and answered softly "If you really wanna look out for me and keep me safe than you should get to work on the car." And with that Hudson left feeling pretty bad. And nervous. Scared. Ross was bossy and had a way of getting people to do what he wanted. And Hudson had a hard time saying no to people..

Jackson pulled up back home around dinner. He walked inside. Cruz was in the kitchen making food. "Hey.." She said softly. Jackson stared at her. He hadn't really talked much to her unless he had to really. He didn't hate Cruz. But he didn't forgive her. "I made your favorite? Well tried to. Hopefully it's good?.." Cruz said nervously. She was trying. Trying hard to get him back. To make him want her again. For months. Nothing worked. Jackson sighed and snarled "I think I've grown tired of that dish.." he walked up stairs. Cruz frowned and ran after him. "Do you want me to do anything?" Jackson glanced down ast Cruz and raised a brow.

"I mean for you?.. can I help you with anything?.." she asked. Jackson stared at thought about what she did. "No. I'm gonna shower." And he went up the stairs and to the bedroom. Cruz sighed. She had lost him over this.. but she started thinking. What could she do to win Jackson affection back.

She ate alone. Then went up stairs and knocked. "Jackson..". She called. He was already in bed. Cruz walked over and he spoke up "Im awake. Just laying here.. Are you coming to bed?" He asked. Cruz stared and answered "After I shower yeah.. Jackson.. it's been months?.. what's it gonna take?.." she tried to sound soft and gentle. Jackson thought for a moment and sat up. Staring at Cruz. "I don't know. I'm just.. I'm numb right now? Okay.?.." he shrugged. Cruz frowned. Maybe she should cut her losses and give up..

"Okay.." she answered and went to shower. Shutting the door quietly. She couldn't help crying softly in the shower. It hurt. It was like Jackson wasn't there. Maybe this is what he was like without alcohol? Maybe this was the real Jackson and he just didn't know how to be without the alcohol. Or maybe it was just her and the fact that she cheated..

Alright ! Cruz and Jackson haven't been doing well Sense she admitted to the affair! So open choice. Suggestions. Becuase Cruz is gonna lose Jackson at this rate!!!?

What does/ should Cruz do to save their marriage!? (I'll try to use the ones that go more with the story, maybe you guys can save them!)

Or...

Does Cruz give up. And come out and ask Jackson if he just wants a divorce. Because she can't take being pushed away anymore. (But could lead to Jackson actually wanting a divorce after all)

Now I am going to ask only Becuase I was suspicious. Please. Only one vote per reader. Thank you?
