When faced with difficult challenges and circumstances, are they able to pull through to the finish? If they can't help themselves, can they help each other? Co-featuring Lightning McQueen.

Summary for Chapter 9: Run for your life.

Ryan "Inside" Laney has a secret: He's probably the best friend Storm's ever had. It all started with a moisture farm.

Lightning finally breaks bread with his mishpocheh. Takes place Thanksgiving 2009. Harv POV.

Four moments in four seasons - Lightning and Sally's relationship across the years. Sally POV.

Lightning's yelled at Cruz before. He's championed her; he's consoled her. But this is the first time he's ever lied to her.

I rarely ever share stories I create but a friend urged me to share. And for Cars as well, which she got me into and I love it very much. As the name implies, this is just a short story about Jackson handling the events after the movie. I'm sure there are other stories like mine but I still hope whoever sees this enjoys it.
