Chapter 38. – Lightning's Call Home -
While Sally was calling home. Lightning called his parents and got a very nasty surprise.
"Hello?" A voice said, Lightning barely recognized it "What do you want?"
"Brody, is that you?" Lightning asked "Where's Mom and Dad?"
"I don't know, motherfucker." Brody growled "What fuck do you want?"
"Is that really necessary?" Lightning asked "We're both adults. Don't you think it's time to give up this childish rivalry."
"Fuck you, motherfucker." Brody replied "You're nothing than a shithead cocksucking Mofo."
"Wow! Brody!" Lightning mocked "Your use of the English language is impressive."
"Because of you, my life was ruined." Brody growled "Go fuck a dick, fuckball…"
"Brody! What in the hell is wrong with you?" Lightning herd his father yell on the other end "Téigh go dtí do sheomra agus fanacht ann! Cé mhéad uair a chaithfidh mé a insint duit! Cosc ar thobac sa teach!"
"What?" Brody asked "I have no fucking clue what you just said."
"Go to your room and stay there!" Riley said "How many times do I have to tell you! No smoking in the house!"
"I don't care." Brody whined "You smoke, why can't I?"
"Have you ever seen me smoke in the house?" Riley challenged "You know how your mother feels about that."
"Do you know how much money you wasted on that fucker and that slut chops of a wife." Brody spat "And you refused to pay for my wedding?"
"Yes, a lot less than your first two weddings and honeymoons combined." Riley said "So, stop being such a dick."
Bella rolled into the room to see what all the yelling was about; she saw the lit cigarette.
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT SMOKING IN MY HOUSE!" Bella demanded "PUT IT OUT NOW! NO WONDER THIS ROOM STINKS!"
"Why don't you shut the fuck up!" Brody spat at his mother "I can do…"
Riley grabbed Brody roughly by the front bumper, lifted his front end off of the ground, grabbed the pack of cigarettes and crushed them.
"Don't ever talk to your mother like that young man. DO YOU HEAR ME!" Riley said "NOW, TAKE YOUR FIVE DOLLAR ASS UP TO YOUR ROOM BEFORE I MAKE CHANGE!"
He let Brody drop roughly to the floor. Lightning could hear Brody muttering under his breath as he stormed out of the room. As he stormed out, Brody ran into a black and blue Lykan HyperSport.
"Get the fuck out of my way." Brody said "You're nothing but a fuckn' prick."
Brody harshly pushed the exotic car. But was knocked back by Merida head-butting him. Merida then painfully twisted one of his axles to his side (AN: cars version of putting someone's arm behind their back)
"OOOWWWW!" STOP! THAT HURTS!" Brody squealed in a high pitched tone "DAD, MERIDA'S HURTING ME!"
Brody continued to whimper in pain.
"Wow, even I can't reach that high a pitch… and I'm a girl." Merida said "Now who's being a prick?"
"ENOUGH! MERIDA UNHAND YOUR BROTHER!" Riley bellowed and Merida let go "Brody, Sidney is a guest, so treat him like one."
"I don't have too!" Brody whined "You do know he's fucking her!"
"Merida is a grown woman." Bella said "If she wants to engage in that activity then she can."
"You give me hell when Irene and I fuck." Brody spat "So it's alright for them to do it?"
"They don't do it in the kitchen and the living room." Bella said "If you kept bedroom activities to the bedroom, I wouldn't say anything."
"Sure you would!" Brody scoffed "You're nothing but a two faced bitch!"
"BRODY GO TO YOUR ROOM!" Riley bellowed "I'M NOT IN THE MOOD TO DEAL WITH YOUR SHIT!"
Brody stormed up to his room.
"Forgive him Sidney." Bella said to the shaken car "Are you all right?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." Sidney said "That was…"
"I told you he was a piece of shit." Merida spat "Come on, let's go out to the garden."
A few moments passed. **Translated from Irish.**
"I see Brody still hasn't learned our language." Lightning said "When did you start smoking? It's bad for your health."
"Sorry Light. I started smoking a few years ago. I only smoke when I'm under a lot of stress. My doctor is trying different kinds of medication to help me, so far we haven't had a lot of success with it. The good point is that Bella hates the smell of smoke and won't have anything to do with me if she smells it."
"I won't even give him a welcome home kiss, when Riley's been smoking." Bella said "Are you enjoying your honeymoon? The estate is a nice place to stay, we vacationed there earlier in the year."
"It's perfect. Manuel remembers you. I'm calling to tell you the tropical storm will hit here around 6. The local officials closed the airport this morning, so we can't get out if we wanted to."
"That's not a problem." Riley said "I can get you out if you want to leave."
"We want to stay." Lightning said "It's not…"
"You and Sally have to leave NOW!" Bella demanded "NOW, RIGHT NOW. RILEY DON'T STAND THERE! DO SOMETHING!"
"MOM... MOM!" Lightning shouted "CALM DOWN!"
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN, YOU AND SALLY ARE IN DANGER!" Bella said in the middle of a full blown panic attack "What are we going to do!"
Lightning heard Bella screech her tires as Riley stopped her in her tracks.
"Ó bhean an mianach, le do thoil socrú síos, freaking amach nach bhfuil ag cabhrú. (Oh wife of mine, please settle down, freaking out is not helping.)" Riley said calmly as Bella started to hyperventilate. "Anáil dhomhain, anáil dhomhain Bella. Tá tintreach agus Sally ceart go leor. Caithfidh tú socair a dhéanamh nó má tá tú chun pas a fháil amach. (Deep breaths, Bella deep breaths. Lightning and Sally are okay. You need to calm down or you're going to pass out.)"
It took a few minutes for Bella to calm down.
"Mom, the estate is taking care of us. Sally and I sat down last night and listened to the experts. They all say the same thing; it's not going to be bad. Besides, it's way too beautiful here for us to leave and no amount of begging will change our minds. I'll call you as soon as the storm is over. It may not be possible. Manuel explained the towers might be damaged by the high winds." Lightning said "Not to change the subject, but I thought Brody was in jail until his court hearing? Please tell me you didn't bail him out."
"We didn't. I don't know how they managed it." Bella said "But Irene's parents bailed him out. We have confined them to the west wing."
"They're living there?" Lightning asked "Are you crazy! You know what happened the last time Brody stayed with you."
"I know, but he's still my son." Bella said "He needed a place to stay."
"I've warned Brody." Riley said "If he or Irene starts being destructive, I'm kicking them out. Brody might be my son, but I won't have him tearing up the house. They have been here a few days and they seem to behaving themselves."
"With Brody's temper, it won't last long." Lightning said "Why do you put up with him?"
"This is his last chance, if he screws up again, he's on his own." Riley said "And I don't have problems calling his parole officer to come and get him."
"When does Brody's trial start?" Lightning asked "Do you need me there?"
"I hate to say this but, I think it be a bad thing if you showed up. Brody blames you for everything." Riley said "As for the trial, the date hasn't been set yet. It's in the pre-trial stages now. It'll probably be in a few months."
"I'm assuming with his record." Lightning said "Brody is facing some serious prison time."
"Yes." Riley sighed "Ten to fifteen years."
"I'm sorry Dad. I can teach you some stress releasing exercises Doc taught me." Lightning said "When Sally and I come to visit, I can teach them to you."
"I would like that." Riley said "You and Sally stay safe."
"I love you." Bella said "And tell Sally I love her too."
"We love you both." Lightning said as he hung up the phone "Wow that is the first time my mom said 'I love you' since I've left home, she must be worried."
"That's the first time in years that I've been called Slut Chops… Yeah, I over herd what Brody said." Sally explained, Lightning looked confused "It means a woman with a sexually active mouth. When I was street racing, I gave blow jobs often and freely."
"Oh, I forgot about that." Lightning said "I'm still going to beat the shit out of him."
"For what?" Sally asked "It's a true statement."
"Brody is just jealous." Lightning said "You don't do that anymore."
"So you don't like me giving you a blow job?" Sally asked "The way you grab my sides and pull me closer, tells me that you do."
Lightning was speechless. Sally laughed and grabbed Lightning's codpiece.
"Come on we need to get our things together for tonight." Sally said "We might even have time for a quicky."
They headed back to the bungalow and packed up a few things, like Sally's laptop and Lightning's medicine.
"Wow, would you look at that." Sally said looking out the window and pointing at the ocean. "It's getting scary out there."
The ocean was no longer calm and blue. The ocean seemed to boil, huge waves crashed on the shore, and the water had turned a brownish-green color. One of the staff was putting up storm shutters on their bedroom windows.
"Can I go down to the beach?" Sally asked the staff member "I want to get some pictures."
"You can, but don't get close to the water." He said "Those waves are strong enough to pull you off your tires and into the ocean."
Sally went down to the beach, Lightning followed her. The wind blew sand in all directions. The sand stung when it hit them, luckily their windshields kept the sand out of their eyes. But it felt like sand was getting into every open space on their bodies.
"Sally, are you done taking pictures?" Lightning asked "The sand is getting into my brace and making my axle hurt. Besides, we just got new paintjobs, I don't want them ruined."
"Ok, I'm done." Sally said "Come on, let's get the sand out of your brace."
Back at the bungalow: Sally shook all the sand from her body. Lightning could not, he was in too much pain. Since the poolside shower was shut down, they headed to the bathroom.
Once Lightning was in the shower, Sally took the brace off.
"Your brace is like a sand magnet." Sally said as she made a little pile of sand "No wonder you're in pain."
Lightning turned on the shower and Sally began rinsing off his broken axle and brace.
Moments later:
"Ok, done." Sally said as she snapped the brace back into place "How does that feel?"
"Better. Thanks My Queen." Lightning said "When I get done with my shower, I'm going to need a painkiller."
"I'll go get it." Sally said "Finish your shower and I'll have it ready for you."
Sally headed to the bedroom and finished packing a few items. She grabbed Lightning's medication and headed to the main room. She was shocked to see Lightning shivering on the couch, soaking wet.
"Why are you out here?" Sally asked "You're going to catch a cold, the air conditioning is on."
"I tried using the dryer, but my axle is too sore." Lightning said "I forgot about the air conditioning and now I'm freezing."
Sally hurried to the bathroom and got some towels. She helped Lightning dry himself off, as well as giving him his pain medication. Sally reached between Lightning's rear tires to dry his undercarriage. She touched his manhood and was surprised it was cold. It was pulled up close to his undercarriage, like it was trying to warm itself up. Sally gently rubbed it.
"Stop please, that hurts." Lightning said "My manhood is too cold for that."
"Sorry Stickers." Sally said "I was trying to warm it up."
"I know." Lightning said "And I love you for it. When we get to our assigned room this afternoon, I can let you play with it."
"Really?" Sally asked "You'll let me play with it?"
"Yeah." Lightning said "I like when you play with it. Besides, I think there will be nothing for us to do until the storm passes."
Sally laughed.
Around one in the afternoon: Lightning and Sally arrived at their assigned room. It was half the size of their bungalow and only had one window on the inside wall.
"I'm glad we only have to stay here for a short time." Lightning said "This room is too small for me."
"I like it, it's cozy." Sally said "Almost like one of my cones."
"Yeah, I didn't see it that way." Lightning said "Thanks Sweetheart!"
There was a knock at the door, it was Manuel.
"Is the room acceptable?" He asked "There is one more room I can move you to if you don't like this one.
"It's perfect. Sally said "We like the coziness."
"Wonderful! There's snacks and games in ballroom one." Manuel said "And movies and books in ballroom two. The internet is still up and running, for how long is anyone's guess."
"How close is the storm?" Lightning asked "It's getting darker by the minute."
"The worst of the storm should be here in about four hours." Manuel said "If you need anything just come to the front desk."
"Is there any way we can watch it come ashore?" Lightning asked "I've never seen one before."
"You're not the only one to ask." Manuel said "We are setting up an observation point on the beach. You can watch it if it is safe to do so. At some point, everyone must come inside."
Manuel got a phone call and left.
"Do you want to see what the ballrooms have for entertainment?" Lightning asked "There's still time to go back to the bungalow and get anything we need."
"Sure, that sounds like a plan." Sally said "Let's go now. I don't want to wait."
Side by side Lightning and Sally headed to the ballrooms.
COMMENTS:
Guest 2- This storm is really pressurising here. Almost as if Earth's falling apart.- It does appear that way after a major storm.
Lightning and Sally are keeping on top with their safety here. Good that Riley's going through measures to bring Lightning and Sally back safe.- Yep. Riley is keeping on top of that. It what makes him such a great movie producer.
Oh that moment where you get addressed by your middle name! Really means business with your parents.- I always knew I was in trouble when my mom used mu middle name. I still cringe when she still does it.
Sally's definitely pregnant. Birth control implants only last for so long and you have to have a replant.- No comment. I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't read the original story.
I bet Stella's in happy mode.- Stella is always happy. It goes from regular happy to super dooper Zoomie happy!
I'm guessing Merida's got her boyfriend round in the next chapter- Yep. He had a small part. Hopefully i can find a spot for him in the next story.
Please have Merida hood butt Brody to make him spill oil- I didn't do that, but I did make him squeal! LOL!
I do not own Cars or any of its characters. PIXAR AND DISNEY CLAIM THAT RIGHT. READING ENJOYMENT ONLY
Please read and review! I need criticism and encouragements! Rated M for language and sex.
