Lightning could barely sleep as it was. He rolled over as he tried getting comfortable then fell off the bed and to the hard and cold floor! "Ow.." He muttered as he sat up. He just couldn't wait to get out of this place. At this point be treated like a decent human being. That maybe partly his fault though. Well, he was up anyway. He grabbed his race suit and slipped it on then walked over to the old and dusty mirror over the sink in the cell and stared at himself.
With each passing day.. Lightning was loosing his chance at being the Piston cup champion and he hated it. It felt like his dreams were being crushed more and more. And all he could do was watch and let it happen. He sighed. Then he heard a door creak open and shut. Lightning walked up against the vars and looked out to see Sheriff was in. Pretty early, but honestly, Lightning had no clue what time it even was.
"Uh.. Excuse me?.. Sheriff?.." Lightning called. He heard boots stepping and get closer and closer. The Sheriff stood right in front of the cell and crossed his arms asking "Yes?" Lightning frowned and sighed. "Think I could go ahead and get to work?.. I can't sleep anyway.." He was braking a bit. Sheriff nodded with a shrug. "Sure. I don't see why not. You need a coffee first?" He asked kindly. Lightning was confused. "Um.. Sure?.." Almost questioning it.
Sheriff took the keys and opened the cell door then walked up to a counter top with an old coffee maker and began making a carafe of the drink. "How you take your coffee son?" Asked the old man. Lightning sat up on the Sheriff's desk before answering "Um.. Just black is fine. Um.. Why are you being so.. Nice to me suddenly?.." Sheriff started the coffee maker up before turning around and answering "Hmm? Why not? I expect you had a rough day yesterday and all. Think maybe we might as well get along seeing that you are stuck here for a few days anyway." Lightning hated being reminded of that. "Yeah..." The kid frowned.
After some coffee Sheriff escorted Lightning to the Bolt that was already hooked up to Besse at the start of the mess. Lightning got in and Sheriff cuffed him to the wheel saying "Sorry.. But I can't trust you won't bug anymore customers that might come through." Lightning didn't reply. He just started up the Bolt and let it run a second before getting her pulling that stupid machine...
Half way done.
Lightning had to stop and get a drink and some breakfast. Sheriff of course let him. He wasn't that cruel after all. Lightning finished the small breakfast then stood up saying "Alright.. Ready to get this crap done.." Sheriff was sitting at his desk, reading an old paper and replied. "NO can do. Gotta wait for Mater and Doc to be up to get the mix. So take your time.. It'll be a while." Lightning sighed and sat back down. Old people... He hated this. He sat and thought about that race. So stupid. He had won plenty of street races and official races. why couldn't he beat some old man on dirt?
"Actually.. Think I might be able to go to that dirt track?.. I'd like to try making that stupid turn." Lightning said. Sheriff stared at the kid then placed down the paper. The old man sighed and thought a moment. Lightning quickly tried to persuade the officer. "Please. I won't run and I won't try anything. I just want to prove to myself and that cranky old grandpa that I can make that turn. Please.. I can't stand just sitting around and doing nothing.." Sheriff shrugged answering "Sure.. I don't think it can hurt anyone. But I'm limiting your fuel. Can't have you escaping on us." Lightning glared saying "Oh yeah.. That would be so bad..." sarcasm at it's finest...
Over and over. Again and again! For hours! Lightning tried making that turn on dirt. But nothing worked. It seemed he would never make it! Each time, he only grew more and more frustrated and more and more tired of this. Swerving and spinning out. Dust and dirt flying everywhere. Hitting the brakes as the Bolt spun like one of those spin top toys! Suddenly the old man appeared. Doc or something. Whatever his name was. Doc approached the racer's window and tried helping. "This ain't asphalt son, this is dirt." Lightning sighed asking "Oh great.. What do you want? You here to gloat?" "You don't have three wheel brakes so you gotta pitch it hard, break it loose and just.. Just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much and you'll be out of the dirt and into the tulips." Lightning rolled his eyes and only snapped back with "So you're a judge, a doctor, and a racing expert.." "I'll put it simple. If you're going hard enough left, you'll find yourself turning right." "Oh.. right.. That makes perfect sense.. Turn right, to go left!.. YES! THANK YOU! Or should I say no thank you! Because maybe in opposite world, that really means thank you!" Lightning then shifted the car hard and gunned it! Throwing dust and dirt into the old man's face!
Gunning it down the stretch to the first and second turn! Lightning glanced over to see the old man getting into his old car and heading out. He thought for a moment. "Turn right to go left... Hmm.." He saw the man leave then thought, hey, why not. Nothing else was working, right?
So Lightning hit the gas, let off, turning right and hoping for the best. The car jerked hard RIGHT! And straight down the ledge of the cliff into cacti again! Hitting his head on the wheel. "Awe.. Ow.." Lightning muttered. Shaking his head a bit. Dam that hurt. Lightning saw steam coming from the hood of the Bolt. "Shit.." He muttered then got out the window and fell down onto the dirt. The young man stood up and began dusting himself off when he heard a crackling like sound. "What?.." He wondered what that was. Lightning looked around then behind him just in time to see a huge, tall cactis coming down at him! "No, no, no, no, no.."
THUD!
"AAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOWWWWW!"...
"OW! FUCK! OUCH!" Lightning snapped as he stood there in the clinic room. Sheriff was sitting there just a cackling at the sight! "HEY! Shut up!" Lightning scolded. Sheriff just couldn't help it. Lightning was covered in cactus needles! Doc had on some glasses and with gloves and tweezers, was carefully removing each and every one. Sheriff snickered apologizing. "I'm so sorry. It's just.. Mighty funny." Doc sighed and gave Sheriff a bit of a glare. "You are literally, the only person I know who has ever gotten attacked by a cactus!' Sheriff said with a laugh. Lightning's brows lowered. "Yeah, well.. It wouldn't be so funny if it were you, OH!" He flinched when Doc pulled another one from his shoulder blade. Sheriff laughed pretty hard!
Doc sighed and continued. Lightning flinching, jumping, cussing and whining with each one! "FUCK! OW! HEY! Watch it! That's tender!" Seemed like he got most off his suit so Doc stepped back and looked all around. "Looks good. Just take off the suit, shower and if you find anymore I'll get them out. I'll get you some medicine for the pain." Lightning sighed with relief as it seemed to be over. "You know, this wouldn't have even happened if you wouldn't have gotten me to try that stupid lie back there!" Yelled Lightning.
Sheriff looked to Doc asking "What's he talkin bout?" Doc rolled his eyes answering "Nothin. He's just hyped up from the cactus needles." Lightning glared at the old man, doctor, judge, whatever he was. Lightning didn't understand why the old man was hiding that little detail from the Sheriff, but honestly, Lightning didn't care anyway...
Lunch came around before long. And Lightning was a bit hungry, but mostly tired. And the pain meds only made him more tired. The Sheriff escorted him into the diner and told him he could have a bite and a drink. Lightning went and sat down. Tired.. So tired and exhausted and in pain. He hated this place. This place was hell!
He lay his arms and head down onto the table where he closed his eyes and just rested. Because honestly, that's all he needed right now. A good rest. Thankfully, Sheriff didn't seem to mind and sat across the room, keeping an eye on Lightning, but letting the kid rest after all he endured earlier.
"Ah-hem." Said a soft, kinda girly voice.
Lightning lifted his head and rubbed his eyes and his hair to see Sally. "Doc got you over worked?" the young girl asked. Lightning stretched some answering "Me? No? I am fine. I just gotta get out of here.." Did not want her knowing he got ambushed by a dam cactus. Sally nodded and sat down across from him.
Lightning glared at her a little before asking "Why are you here? You are the woman I have to thank for my career possibly being ruined." Sally's eyed widened snarling "You are rude." Lightning smiled "And you're irritatingly sexy." Sally's brows lowered and she stood up and walked back to the counter. Seeing it had been quite some time, Sheriff walked over and took Lightning back and out to work. Lightning did glance back at that woman, There was just.. Something about her...
After a hard day of work and paving that darn road, Lightning was taken back to the jail for the night where he ate some dinner and lay down for bed. Well, he would try and get some sleep. The pain was a lot and he could never get comfortable in the metal bed. He sighed and tossed and turned. Sheriff sat at his own desk for a bit. Typing away at the computer, but.. In a weird old man way. Pressing key for key with only his index finger.
It was very annoying.. Silence then click... Click, click... Silence... Then click, click, click. That was getting old fast! Luckily, it wasn't long and Sheriff passed out at the desk, giving Lightning some quiet to try and sleep to.. ..
Later that night.
The door squeaked and woke Lightning up a bit. He tried ignoring it, but then heard footsteps. Not normal ones.. Heels. He lay there motionless in bed and under the blanket. Not really wanting to get up unless he had to. "Hey, I brought you some clothes to change into and sleep in so you arent stuck in that suit." Said that sweet and tender voice. Lightning turned over to see Sally standing at the door of the cell. He couldn't help, but smile a little as he sighed and joked "You know you don't have to make excuses to see me?"
Sally rolled her eyes snapping back "Don't think too highly of yourself mister." Lightning tossed off the blanket and Sally's eyes widened. He was shirtless. Lightning walked closer to the door and smiled arrogantly. Sally stared at his hard and perfect abs. Her eyes followed down.. He wasn't wearing any pants... just these tight black boxer briefs. Lightning snickered and joked "Eyes are up here baby." Sally's brows lowered and she handed him the clothes. "Who sleeps in jail in their underwear?" Sally asked. Lightning took them answering "It is hot in here sense the ac doesn't work." He stepped up close against the bars and spoke in a deep tone "If it weren't for these bars I'd try to kiss you." Sally stared. Not sure what to say. That really threw her off.
Lightning then asked "Why do you hate me?" Sally rolled her eyes answering "You destroyed something I love." "A road?.." Lightning asked in a kinda rude and questioning tone. Sally nodded, "The town." Lightning sighed and "Well maybe if you would of listened to the old man?.. I wouldn't be a problem to you." Sally snarled under her breath something then left.
Lightning did feel a little bad. But that stuck in his head. Why did that woman care about this dirt nothing town anyway? What was so special about Radiator Springs?...
A new day, another day to work on that stupid road pulling Besse with the Bolt. But all pride aside, it did feel good to be wearing something cooler than that hot racing suit for once. Lightning was grateful, though he didn't want to admit it.
"Can't believe I'm stuck here.. While Chick is California.. Smoozen Dinico, My Dicico." Lightning growled as he worked. Then suddenly the Bolt's tire button lit up and "What?" That didn't make sense? Then the rear of the car lifted! "Woah, woah, woah! Who'se touching my car!?" Lightning yelled as he looked out the window.
It was the italian men. One was quick to explain, "You have a slow leak.. Guido, he fix." Lightning looked back at Guido and glared. How dare that little freak touch his car! Back at the other guy, "I am Luige. Guido and I welcome you to our home. Home of the leaning tower of Tyres.." Lightning got out the car. One hand still cuffed to the wheel as he looked over at the tire shop. Not that impressed really. "So... I give you a deal. You by one tire, get one free."
Lightning snickered and explained. "No, no.. I get all my tires for free." Luige wrapped an arm around the racer and laughed, "Oh-ho! You drive a hard bargain. Okay. You buy one tire, I give you three." Lightning glared and once again explained that he gets all his tires for free in his line of work. Luige pushed and tried once more. "You buy one tire, I give you SEVEN! NO TIRE FOR FREE!" He yelled into Lightning's face like a mad man! Lightning stared at the man. Unsure what to say now. Luige stepped back and straightened his shirt as he continued.
"Done, you interested, you come by, you know where we are." Then he and Guido walked away. Lightning let out a sigh of relief. Those two were really annoy- WATER! Water hit the hood of car! Lightning covered his face and the cold water splashed off hitting him! It kinda even hurt a bit and was almost drowning him from the pressure of the fire hose!
He spit and blocked the water. He was soaked. It kinda felt good in the hot sun though.. finally the fire truck stopped! Lightning spit and shook a bit of the water off. He was heavy soaked. He looked in front of himself to see the fireman with the hose and Sally standing there. Then, of course, the woman spoke up. "Oh Red! You missed a spot.. see it? Right there? On the hood?.." Lightning raised his free arm up and yelled "No! Wait!?" But Red was determined. McQueen begged them to stop! "NO! STOP!".. "ENOUGH! PLEASE!" "AAH WOOH!..." Finally the car was clean. Lightning shook a bit and slicked his gold hair back.
"Thanks Red." The woman said to the fireman as he packed up the hose and drove away. Oh Lightning was furious! "What was that for!?" He yelled! Sally answered with a question. "Do you wanna stay at the cozy cone or what?"
"What?"
"Well even here in hillbilly hell we have standards."
"I don't get it?"
"Nothing!? I just thought I'd say thank you for doing a great job.. So I thought I'd let you stay with me?" Her eyes widened realizing what she said and she quickly tried correcting herself. "Well not with me! But there!? Not with me there!? But you'd be in your cone and I'd be in my cone and it's.."-"Wait?.. your being nice to me?" The wet racer pointed out. Sally rolled her eyes and replied quickly as she was already embarrassed now. "I mean if you wanna stay at the dirty jail that's fine! I mean I understand you criminal types!?"
Lightning answered back. He didn't wanna have to stay in jail again, "No,no no no no!? It's nice..". Sally smiled and impressed "Its newly refurbished." Lightning chuckled and replied. "It's like a hotel made outa caution cones, which usually cars try to avoid.. and now we're gonna stay in them..that's funny..". Sally just glared and made Lightning feel a bit stupid. "Figure that out on your own did ya?" Now he felt a little bad on top of that. Sally started to walk away "Cone number one of ya want." She added. McQueen sighed. Stupid. He wasn't gonna get far with this one.. He glanced at her leaving. Then... What is that? He smiled flirtatiously, "Hey!.. do I spy a little pinstriping tattoo back there?"
Sally quickly covered her lower back with her hands and whipped around. Accidentally hitting a few cones outside her motel and she fell.. laughing awkwardly.. "Oh you saw that!?.." she blushed. But McQueen thought It was cute. It was the most adorable reaction ever! "Oh that's just.. just gonna be going..Yeah?..." she got up and went inside her motel shutting the door quick and curtains!
Lightning smiled a bit. Gazing at her really. She was actually kind of sweet. When she wasn't being super irritating. "You know." Mater said. Lightning panicked and jumped a bit as he never even knew Mater was there! Or how long the old man had been there!? "I once knew this good lookin girl named Dorene. She looked just like a model, only she was a bar tender! I use to bump into her just so I could spokes to her..." Lightning stared at the old crazy man and asked "What are you talking about?" Mater shrugged answering "I don't know, HEY! Sheriff put in charge of watchin ya. Wanna do somethin fun?" (Sorry I could not remember exactly what Mater says here.)
Lightning shook his head answering "I don't know Mater.. I have to finish this road and I have got to get out of here.." He hated it. He was slowly starting to enjoy the stupid little town. Nope, not happening. And that girl! Gosh darn it! She was the most... Most.. Annoying thing here. Mater shrugged it off. "Well alright Mr. I can't turn on dirt.. You.. Probably couldn't handle it anyway." Lightning's eyes widened. "Hey, woah, easy now Mater. You know who you're talking to? This is Lightning McQueen. I can handle anything."
Mater just chuckled at that. "Great! I can't wait. We can talk more during dinner tonight at the diner, but after dinner, we gonna have ourselves a good time!" The old man then ran outa there all excited. Lightning shook his head. Just the way the old man worded that was a bit unsettling...
That night, Lightning met up with Mater at the diner to eat some dinner before doing whatever thing Mater had planned. Part of Lightning wasn't so sure and prepared himself to karate chop his way out of the situation if need be. Mater sat down and slid a trey of food to Lightning saying "Better eat up. You'll love what I got planned!" Well Mater sure was excited about it.
Lightning sighed and decided to ask. "What exactly do you have planned Mater?" Mater chuckled answering "You'll just have to find out." Lightning still wasn't so sure. The two soon to be best friends ate their food, most of it. Mater asked "So how you likin Radiator Springs?" Lightning sipped the drink before answering "Uh.. It's.. Nice.. Quiet little town I guess.." He thought about that. The town was actually kinda nice. Every one seemed to look out for each other and most of the people were nice once you got on their good sides.
"What's the deal with the blonde anyway?" Lightning asked. Mater glanced over across the room to see Sally eating alone and asked the racer "You mean Miss Sally?" Lightning nodded. Mater snickered. "Oh she just was passin through town and.. I don't know. It's a long story really, but she decided to stay." "Why?" Lightning asked. Mater smiled answering "Because who wouldn't want to stay here? This place is awesome!" Mater exclaimed! Lightning rolled his eyes. This place was not awesome at all really to him.
Lightning glanced over with his perfect smile at Sally. She noticed and quickly turned away. Mater began going on and on about something, but Lightning wasn't paying attention to him. He was paying attention to her. No one else around here was even her age?.. No one was as educated and sophisticated as her obviously. She must be lonely on some level, right? "Yeah, yeah, hey Mater." Lightning spoke up. "If it's alright, I think I'm gonna go sit with Sally for a moment." Mater looked over at Sally then back at Lightning and shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not. I gotta take a trip to the oval office any who before we head out on our little adventure anyway." The old man chuckled. Lightning sighed and wasn't sure if that was a good thing or bad thing.
He then got up, tossed his trash away and placed the trey on the counter near the register then walked over to Sally. "Sally?.. Right?" He asked. Sally stared up at him slowly. Blushing bright red. It made Lightning smile at her even more. But she wasn't talking so he took it upon himself to continue. "So how did you get that little peek a boo back there?" Lightning asked as he sat down. Sally cleared her throat answering "Um.. Well?.. I don't think that's your business." Lightning chuckled "Oh right... Attorney.. You seem like a workaholic." "And you seem like a fuck boy." She quickly snapped back.
Lightning nodded. She probably wasn't wrong there, but he loved that she got snippy with him like that. Kind of reminded him of home. His Mom. Ew, stop, no! Don't think like that.. Lightning then glanced down at the papers on the table there. "What's all this?.." He asked and pulled some paper towards him curiously. Sally snatched the paper back scolding "Also! Not your business." Lightning sighed continuing "Hey.. I'm sorry. Thought I?... I needed to apologize for.. Being a fuck boy or whatever.." He smiled a little.
Sally seemed surprised by his apology. Lightning added "Anyways.. I guess I'll see you tonight?" Sally's eyed widened "What?" She asked as her face turned pale. Lightning chuckled explaining "For the key. To the cone? Unless you don't allow criminals." he joked. Sally felt dumb."Oh.. Right!?.. haha... Yeah I'll just?.. It'll be unlocked for you. I'll... Lay out some extra pillows and clothes.." She swallowed hard. Lightning smiled back at her.
It was kind of nice to be talking to a woman who really didn't care about his name, how much he made, if they could see the Bolt, get a picture and etc. Then Doc suddenly began yelling "Hey! If you ain't workin then have Mater lock you up!." Lightning sighed and glared at the old man a moment before sending Sally one more smile and walked away...
Lightning and Mater pulled up to an old field. It was dark and late. Lightning looked out at all the cattle and asked "Okay?... What are we doing exactly?" Mater chuckled answering "Cow tipping, only with cars..." Lightning's brows lowered. "Mater, I'm not doing this." "Well shoot, why not? You said you grew up on a farm?" "A farm HOUSE. Not a farm." Lightning corrected rudely. Mater raised a brow asking "Were there cattle?" "Well.. Yeah, but"-"Oh come on, you'll love it!.." Mater said in a loud whisper.
Lightning sighed though. Not really going to enjoy it. "Besides, these cows are special." "Special?" Asked the racer. Mater nodded explaining. "Yeah, you'll see! Cow tippin is fu-un!" With a chuckle. Lightning shook his head and griped "This is ridiculous.." "Alright listen, when I say go.. We go, but don't let Frank catch ya." Mater then got into his truck and sped off. Lightning panicked and shouted "Woah, woah, who'se Frank!? Mater!?.. Wait Mater!.." Then got into the race car and sped off after Mater.
Once caught up. Mater continued to explain. "Now.. Here's what you do. You just sneak up in front of them and then honk.. They'll do the rest." He laughed. "Here, watch this." Then Mater drove over to one of the cattle sleeping., looked over at Lightning once more then HHHOOOONNNKKK! The cow woke up sudden! Loosing it and running in a circle then falling over and.. PPPHHHHH.. It loudly released gas. Mater began laughing hard! Lightning just sat in the Bolt in shock, maybe a little disgusted and a little judgie for a moment to.
"Boy cows are so dumb!" Mater said. "I'll tell you what, it don't get much better than this!" Lightning rolled his eyes replying. "Yep.. You're livin the dream Mater-boy.." He then watched the old man in the truck drive up to another cow and once more HHHOOONNNKKK! The cow panicked, fell over and gas.. Again.
Mater laughed then said "Alright, you're turn." Lightning shook his head explaining. "Mater, I can't. I don't even have a horn." "Baby." Mater teased. Lightning glared and defended himself, "I'm not a baby.." Mater smiled then "Bak bak bak bak bak! Bak bak!" "Fine. Stop, stop! Alright! I'll.. I'll do something!" Lightning snapped then sighed once more. Mater motioned for him to go ahead all kindly like.
Lightning drove up to one of the sleeping cattle and stared at the animal a moment. He looked back at Mater who gave him the go ahead. What was he suppose to do? The only thing that loud in the Bolt was.. The engine. Lightning looked at the cow, and fine. Mater wanted to play, he was going to play. Hitting the gas and the engine roured LOUD! Louder than probably ever before!
Not only did this cause the cow in front of Lightning to wake up in panic, but ALL the cattle woke up in panic! Lightning backed up a bit, sitting next to Mater's truck as the two watched some cattle fall over quickly, some ran around like they were mad then tumbled over, some reared back then fell.. Then suddenly.. The most awful sounding gas, bloated, farting ever! Then one more PPHHH... The two looked at each other slightly then began busting out laughing! I mean, how could you not!?
Suddenly, from the brush, the sound of an enraged bull! Mater's eyes widened as he said "That's Frank." Then the old man quickly backed up and headed out of there in a hurry! Lightning hesitated. Frank? Had to another cow, right? Then suddenly, from the bushes, stomped out a HUGE black bull! Lightning's eyes widened! "AAHHH!" He screamed then Lightning peeled out and gunned it out after Mater!
As if this wasn't terrifying enough!? Mater was screaming and laughing the entire time out of there! "RUN! RRUUUNNN! HE's gonna get chya!" The two ran through a fence and were fast to travel back to town! Away from the huge, angry bull!...
With the truck and race car parked aside, Lightning and Mater took a nice walk in the cool night. Just talking and becoming friends more and more.
"Hey tomorrow night! We can go look for the ghost light!" Exclaimed Mater. Lightning sighed saying "I can't wait Mater.." "Oh yeah, I'm telling you. Oh boy, you gotta admit. That was fu-un!" Exclaimed the old man. Lightning just nodded and agreed. "Oh yeah, yeah.." He was not going to admit that he might have actually had fun out there. It was stupid, immature, childish fun. And he was way to proud to admit that that was probably the most fun he had had in a long time.
Mater sighed then said "Well, we better get you back to the jail." "Oh actually, Sally's letting me stay at the motel.." Lightning blushed. Mater smiled suspiciously and nudged Lightning as he teased "Awe.. Gettin cozy at the cone is we?" Lightning's brows lowered. "What? No, no. Are you kidding?. Besides, she can't stand me. And I can't stand her to be honest..." Lightning growled. Mater shrugged replying "Yea.. yous probably right." The two continued to walk down the road and towards the truck and race car.
Then- "Oh look there's Miss Sally!" Mater exclaimed and pointed! Lightning immediately lit up asking "What-where?!" Mater laughed! Lightning realized it was a joke and rolled his eyes. "Not funny Mater.." the kid growled. Mater only started teasing more and more. "Ahaha! You're in love with Miss Sally." "No I'm not." Argued the young driver. "Are too!" Mater replied. Back and forth. "No way." "Way." "No, I'm not.. Come on Mater, I"-"You're in love with Miss Sally! You're in love with Miss Sally!" "Alright Mater, that's real grown up, real mature..." "You love her, you love her, you love, love, love, love her"-"Alright! Mater! Mater, enough!" Lightning yelled. The man stopped.
Still smiling because come on, Lightning was totally falling for her. The friends reached their vehicles and Mater opened his truck door asking "Hey, wanna see somethin real cool?" Lightning squinted suspiciously asking "Like what?.." "Oh you just stand right there and watch. I am a sorts of driving professional myself." Bragged the man. Lightning snickered with an eye roll asking "Yeah?" "Yeah! Just watch this right here lover boy.." Mater teased then hopped into his truck, turned it on, put it in reverse and began driving backwards!
It was terrifying! Watching the crazy old man in the tow truck drive so fast backwards! Mater started heading back towards McQueen and his car and Lightning prepared to get hit by the truck, but luckily Mater hit the brakes just in time! The old man got out the truck saying "Ain't no need to watch where I'm goin. Just need to know where I've been." Lightning's eyes widened! "Woah! That was incredible! Chad would have loved to see that! How did you do that!?" He asked.
Mater walked over to his truck and adjusted his driver side, rear side view mirror saying "Rear view mirrors. We'll get you some and I'll teach ya if you'd like." Lightning nodded with a smile. "Yeah, maybe I'll use them in my big race." As he began to get into the race car. Mater walked over to the window and leaned down asking "Hey.. What's so important about this big race of your's anyway?" Lightning looked up at the man and sighed. "See, it's not just a race.. We're talking about the Piston cup here. I've been dreaming about it my whole life! I'll be the first rookie in history EVER to win it. And when I do.." he snickered before continuing.
"We're talking big new sponsor, a private helicopter, no more medicated creams, no more smelly old guys, no"-"What's wrong with old guys?.." asked the tow truck driver. Lightning immediately regretted saying that as he frowned. "No, not like you Mater.. I mean other old men.. Not like you, I like you." He assured. Mater frowned a bit and shrugged it off saying "Awe it's alright.. I understand.. Hey, you think I could get a ride in one of them fancy helicopters? I've always wanted to ride in one of those fancy helicopters."
Lightning shrugged answering "Sure." "You mean it!?" Exclaimed the older man. Lightning nodded answering "Sure. Anything you say." Mater smiled so happily as he replied "I knowd it. I knew I made a good choice!" Lightning raised a brow, confused, he asked "In what?" Mater stared a moment before answering "My best friend." Lightning stared at the man. Best friend? Him? It.. Actually... Was nice. Lightning hadn't had anyone to call a friend for quiet some time. Mater sighed then said. "Well, good night buddy!" Then drive off singing the childish rhyme, "McQueen and Sally, sat beneath a tree! K I s s... Uh... I N G!" Lightning chuckled and shook his head.
That man was nuts! Lightning turned over the Bolt and tried a bit of backwards driving himself, though he wasn't very good at it. He parked the car at cone number one and got out the window. Tapping the hood with just a feel good, happy feeling inside
He really felt good today. Just.. Filled with joy and satisfaction. Mater was a friend and then Sally. Mater was right. He was falling for her. She was so smart, and beautiful, and a bit snippy, fiery and he loved it. And that tattoo. Perfect little figure, blonde hair and her eyes.. They had this gleam in them that just-"Hey Stickers."
He jumped! Which scared her and she jumped back to! Lightning explained quick, "Woah! You scared me!?" Sally blushed and laughed. "I scared myself, scared you, scared me!?" Lightning chuckled a bit and his eyes were huge, "I mean I wasn't scared scared.." he spoke softly mumbling Sally answered "Ofcorse not.. no?..". It was so awkward! Lightning stared at her. She was hot. Smart. A white button up blouse tucked into a black pencil skirt with pumps that showed off her nice legs. Kinda an everyday look for her..
Sally sighed and spoke "Just.. I overheard you talking to Mater?..". Lightning took a step back and blushed.. "Oh.. wh-whadya hear?..". He was embarrassed. Sally smiled answering. "Oh just something bout a helicopter ride?" Lightning felt a little relief and smiled. "Oh yeah, he got a kick out that, didn't he." "Did you mean it?" She asked. Lightning stared confused "Mean what?" "That you'd give him a ride?" Sally was trying to read this guy.. he was hard to read.. Lightning rolled his eyes and answered her, "Oh who knows!? First I gotta get outa here and get to my big race!"
He smiled.. Sally nodded and stared intensely .. still trying to figure him out. Then she frowned. "You know.. Mater trusts you." Lightning's smile faded as he answered. "Yeah?.. Okay." "Did you mean that?" She now asked. Lightning started to shut the door but stopped and asked again "Mean what?" Sally answered. "Well was that a yeah okay?.. yeah okay?.. or a yeah"- Suddenly Sally was interrupted by.. His Kiss! Lightning had grabbed her arm and kissed her so.. amazing.. Passionately.. seductively.. Sally closed her eyes enjoying his kiss.. His tongue.. But he pulled away just as sudden. they stared at each other "Okay.." she finished in a mutter.
Lightning smiled and his ego took over some as he brushed her hair back. It was already up in a thick bun. her beautiful platinum blonde hair. He Pulled her chin up slow and kissed her again passionately. Sally knew by the kiss he just wanted sex. But She hadn't had that itch scratched in so long! Sally grabbed Lightning's face and pushed her tongue deep into his mouth giving him the green light! Lightning began to step back into the motel, guiding Sally as they made out roughly like young drunk love teenagers! Sally kicked the door shut behind her as Lightning began to fumble with the buttons of her top.
With the last button, Sally tossed her shirt down. Revealing her beautiful white satin bra. Lightning grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her lower neck twice before licking up back to her ear and speaking into her ear softly, "I can't wait to get on top of you.." Sally stared a moment grabbing his arms. His huge.. thick.. muscular upper arms.. His perfect tan skin.. His golden blonde hair.. Lightning grabbed her shoulders and began to suck her neck so well.. Her skin was so soft!.. Sally leaned her neck over letting him have more access as she moaned with pleasure..
She reached around and unzipped the back zipper of the tight skirt. Lightning heard the zip and reached around helping Sally shimmer it down her legs, Where she took off the heels, Lowering herself a few inches and stepping out of the skirt. Lightning rubbed down between her breasts and down her tight tummy and felt the softness of her matching satin thong. Oh she was hot! Lightning kissed her lips again. Sally opening her mouth up as they played with each others tongues!.. Lightning's hand rubbed up her hip and around to her ass. Grabbing and squeazing her cheek firmly he pulled his lips away and said "I wanna better look of that tattoo.." And he twisted her entire body around.
He kissed the back of her neck and shoulder. Rubbing her ass with his firm hand. Rubbing her tattoo, he glanced at it with a small smile. Kissing her shoulder and rubbing his hand on her pelvis and her thong. Sending a shiver down Sally's body. Lightning sucked her neck as he slipped his hand into the side of the thong and slowly pulled it down off of her smooth hip and thigh. Rubbing her area. She was shaved clean.. Feeling her soft skin, she was so sexy. Lightning Rubbed her area gently and teased her. Sally moaned and it really got him going as he rubbed her wet area gently. Getting her more wet between her legs.. "Take off your shirt.." she kinda asked quietly. Lightning smiled and pulled away. Sally turned facing him as he tossed the shirt off. Her eyes gazing at his tan abs and chest.. Biting her lips..
Lightning smiled asking "You like?" Acting all cocky. Sally rolled her eyes and snarled "You know that ego of yours is really annoying." Lightning took her hands and placed them on his chest, seeing her eyes stare a bit surprised. He was so firm and.. hard and stronger than she thought. Lightning grabbed the sides of her face and kissed her again. Sally closed her eyes embracing his kiss as they let each other in. She moaned and rubbed down his chest slowly.. Lightning rubbed down her back and grabbed her ass with his hands. Kinda playing with his hands on her cheeks as Sally grabbed the button of the jeans and unbuttoned them and the zipper.
His member getting harder and harder. Lightning pulled away and felt something different suddenly. She was slow and kinda shy suddenly. Her face a little red, it was cute. Something sparked as he gazed into her teal blue eyes. He watched as Sally slipped his pants down and knelt down with them. Now usually he would jump on any chance to get a nice blow from a blonde but he stopped her and said something he never thought he'd say in a moment like this.. "Hey.. You don't have to?.." Sally stared up from her knees with answering "I want to.. It's okay?.." she giggled a bit. Wow she had a cute raspy laugh. Lightning stared and blushed as she slipped his boxers down and stared at his huge thick member.. Nothing like the look a woman gives the first time she stares eye to eye with your meat.
Her hands gripped it and she swallowed nervously. Not that she was nervous but it had been a while.. She put his member to her lips before pushing him inside her mouth and bobbing her head back and fourth.. It felt amazing.. Then she started rolling her tongue around.. Making Lightning moan with pleasure. She knew she was doing good then. Lightning took her hair down as she continued to suck and oh god she swallowed once, tightening her mouth and tongue around his member. "Ohhmmm You're really good at this.." He moaned. Sally giggled a bit. The vibration going up his body making him want her more. If she was this good with her mouth.. Oh he couldn't wait to feel inside her..
Lightning grabbed her hair and slowly pushed in and out of her mouth some. He was so hot.. Sally moaned and enjoyed it. "You like that?" He asked. Her eyes looked up with a moan "mmhmm.." Oh gawd it made him almost drool over this. Enjoying everything her tongue was doing as he thrusted slowly but he pulled her hair and himself out of her mouth. Sally wiped her face and kissed his thigh and his pelvis and abs. Licking his abs.. Wow she was hot! So fearless sexually.. Lightning pulled her up by her elbows and licked his fingers.. He rubbed her area and began to make her squirm.. Sally grabbed his member and began to use her hand to stroke him back and fourth..
He was really thick and long. Part of her nervous to feel him inside her body.. But then he slipped a finger inside her. She moaned as he began to push and pull it out continuously as he kissed and sucked her collarbone. "Oohh Stickers.." Stickers?.. The name she used to make fun of him? He always heard his name or sir name but.. He kinda liked it. Yea? Stickers could work... He kissed her neck and spoke in her ear "Say that again.." As his finger swirled inside of her juicy area. Sally moaned in a deep breath and repeated "Oohh Stickers.. Aah!.." She cried out as she felt him shove a second finger inside and push as deep as he could without pushing his entire hand in her. She stood on her toes and dug her nails into his arms as she held on. Lightning smiled with his face leaned on her neck, Fingering her the best he could and getting faster.
But he stopped and pulled his hand away and took the snap loose of her bra. Stripping her naked. He picked her up by her tiny middle and twisted around. Her back facing the hotels bed. Lightning kissed her neck and lifted one her thighs up on his hip. Making her wet area and his hard member graze each other as their bodies pressed together. "Mmm.. Oh Stickers I want you.." He slowly and gently leaned her down onto the bed, He crawled over her and between her legs. Kissing and sucking her collarbone and above her breasts. She moaned with pleasure and squirmed. Grabbing the blanket. Lightning stopped and grabbed protection from his wallet on the dresser and crawled back on top of her.
He took her left breast into his mouth and gently bit down getting a raspy whimper from Sally's mouth. Lightning used one hand to finger her insides again as he sucked her tit.. Pulling his face up and smiling at her face of pure pleasure. He licked her breast and then kissed between them.. She moaned and he asked "Are you ready?" He asked pulling his finger out. Sally gazed at him and nodded.. Her blonde hair spread out messy on the bed. His eyes widened. She was beautiful.
"Wow.." He muttered. Sally stared a bit confused. Lightning blushed and shook it off. He sat up and began to open up the protection but Sally grabbed his hands and stopped him as she sat up. Lightning stared a moment, wondering if this is where she stopped and would cut him off. But she slid out from under him and twisted them both around. She pushed on his chest. Forcing him to lay on his back. She took the protection and opened it. Putting it on his member with a slow hand motion.. Lightning closed his eyes and leaned his head into the bed with such pleasure. Then Sally swung her leg over him..
She guided his member against her wet area and slowly pushed down. Oh it was a slow and torturing pleasure as her insides took in his hard member. "Ooh Porsche.." He mumbled and it was funny but made Sally smile as she went all the way down to his pelvis and began to thrust her hips and sway. Feeling him deep inside her!.. She put her hands on his shoulders for balance and leaned over his face. Gazing into each others eyes..He had the bluest eyes..
Sally pulled her hips up and down back onto him. Going at a pace. they both moaned with pleasure. But he began to help and grabbed her hips, holding her entire body up. Wow he was strong! He then thrusted up and down, in and out of her body!.. faster and faster! "Ooh yes!.. yes! It feels so good Stickers!" She said loudly as he thrusted fast and kinda hard. This continued but he wanted to show her what he could do! He pushed her hips down as deep on him as she would go and she yelped! He sat up pulling her close for a moment. He was soft and caring suddenly.. Not just rough and rude?.. There was another side to this guy.. He kissed her neck sweetly and Sally swirled her hips up and down. His member in and out of her while he held their bodies close together as he sucked her neck. "Ooh Stickers.." She moaned again. He smiled and pulled her off. Switching places, he lay her down gently on her back. He kissed her neck and her chest pushing inside her again hard!
She grabbed his arms with her nails but it was so good! Lightning thrusted fast and hard into her. Into her stomach it felt like! As deep as he could! "Oh Sally!" He cried as he became close. Sally moaning "Yes Stickers!.. Cum for me baby!.." He continued for only a few more as he couldn't take it. He sat up on his knees. rubbing her thigh and played with her clut as he thrusted into her a bit slower and more gently. "Stickers, I'm gonna cum!.." She screamed kinda with excitement as she grabbed the bed! Lightning smiled and replied "That's the plan babe." He was so!? Annoying! "Oh my goodness!.. I cant hold it!" She cried!
Lightning thrusted fatster and grabbed her knees as she tightened around his member! He spread her knees apart as he thrusted a few more times with a sudden stop as he came inside! Waiting for their bodies to calm.. they gazed at each other a moment.. "That was really good.." Sally exclaimed out of breath. Lightning was to.
He slowly pulled out as Sally gripped the bed when he did. Still staring.. Gazing into each other's faces. Silently. Kind of awkward, kind of not. Sally swallowed nervously then covered her chest with her hands. Lightning noticed and quickly crawled off her and apologized. "Sorry.." "No, you're fine. I mean good! I mean you're totally fine! Like.. Normal.. I.." she blushed and just shut her mouth as she sat up. She got tongue twisted around him. Lightning smiled proudly. He loved that he made her that way.
He walked to the bathroom and cleaned up while Sally put her clothes back on. She was basically dressed by the time Lightning stepped back out and slipped a pair of pants on then a shirt. They stared at each other a moment again. Silently. Sally brushed her hair behind her ear and picked up her shoes. "I should go.." she muttered. Lightning nodded.
She began to leave. They both stood outside, dressed again. But her blonde hair down and kinda messy now. She looked even more sexy with it down and her button up top out of the skirt. barefoot and her pumps in her hand.
Lightning joked but kinda didn't saying "I'm exhausted..". Sally answered with a blank stare.. "Yeah.. okay.. night.." she turned and walked away. Lightning felt bad. For the first time he didn't want a hook up to just walk away like nothing had happened... Leaving it like that. He liked this girl.. he wasn't gonna get anywhere like that?.. "Hey!..." he called. "Thank you.." he muttered.. Sally turned around and asked kinda shocked and confused. "What did you say?" Lightning kicked the ground with his foot gently thanking her for the room. "Thanks for letting me stay here.. It's?..It's great to get out of the cell and.. stay here... Newly refurbished, right?.." he smiled. Sally smiled and answered "Yea..". McQueen said goodnight as He shut the door. "Good Night." Sally said again then went back to her cone.
Lightning closed the door and leaned on it. He let out a sigh. Wow. He realized in this moment that he was tired of being alone.. That he was tired of the endless relationships or rather one night flings and endless lonely nights and parties of girls.. Always asking for a photo, a trinket, a souvenir.. The screaming ones that just wanted to do him for bragging rights.. Lightning walked to the bed and sat down. Thinking about that. He wasn't staying though, right? He lay down and he could faintly still smell her scent. A perfume that smelled of rose and fresh laundry.. A hint of lavender maybe to. He sighed and closed his eyes.. Drifting to sleep in the most comfortable bed he had slept in, in a long time...
