Chapter 2: The Turth about Sally

Early the next morning the citizens of Radiator Springs woke up to an early surprise. The first half of the road was down. It looked like Lightning McQueen did a good job paving the first part of the street.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe it" said Sally as she drove and parked next to Doc as both of them where checking out the new street pavement.

"I can't believe it myself Sally," said Doc Hudson whose eyes where still on the newly paved street. While the other citizens of Radiator Springs where enjoying the new street pavement, Sally went to go find the hotshot rookie.

She found him going around Willys Butte working on his turning.

She also found Sheriff watching him on a hill not far away. So she drove up to him.

"What's going on Sheriff?" she asked.

"I letting him do this after doing such a good job on the first half of the street." said Sheriff as he kept an eye on the red racing car.

"He did a superb job on the work he done so far" said Sally.

"You look like you need a quart of oil, I keep an eye on him while you go to Flo's" said Sally.

"Thanks Sally I think I do that" said Sheriff as he turned around and headed back into town.

"Yo Mr.Hotshot can you come over here for a minute?" asked Sally yelling so he could hear her.

Lightning McQueen stopped from what he was doing and turned around and drove toward her.

"What do you what?" he asked her.

"I just wanted to say good job on the first half of the street," she said.

"Oh thanks" he said.

"I think you did a superb job, so I letting you come and stay in one of my motel rooms until you go" she said.

"Thanks Sally, but why are you being this nice to me?" he asked.

"It's a reward for working on the street unless you still want to sleep in the dirty compound" she said.

"Thank you" said Lightning

Sally smiled back and both cars headed back to town.

About an hour later, Sally found McQueen at Flo's excited about something. So she went over there to see what the excitement was all about.

"What's going on?" she asked as she pulled up to the other cars.

"Red here is saying that our Doc is the Fabulous Hudson Hornet." Said Flo not believing in what McQueen was saying.

Not knowing that the subject of the conversation was listening and watching from his office/home.

"The same Fabulous Hudson Hornet that still holds the record for wining the most races in one season, the same Fabulous Hudson Hornet that crashed in 1954 that ended his career and disappeared from the racing world" said Sally.

McQueen was impressed that Sally knew so much about the Fabulous Hudson Hornet.

"Yes" said Lightning.

Sally started laughing up a storm.

"Please nobody have seen or heard from the Fabulous Hudson Hornet for over 50 years" she said before laughing again.

"Fine Miss know it all, please tell us how you know so much about the racing world huh?" said Lightning smiling.

Sally stopped and stared at McQueen with anger in her eyes.

"It's none of your business, Rookie so stopped butting into other people's business" screamed Sally suddenly as she turned around and took off.

"What did I do?" questioned Lightning.

"Looks like you hit a nerve about Sally's past that she doesn't want us to know," said Flo.

"How did a Porsche like Sally came to this town anyway?" asked Lightning.

"A few years ago, she came into town and broke down, off course Doc fixed her up and Ramone and I took her in and she ended up staying here with us," said Flo.

Not noticing, while Flo and Lightning where talking about Sally, Doc Hudson left his office and quietly followed Sally's trail.

Doc had finally found Sally at the Wheel Well, looking down at the small town. She turned around when she heard gravel.

She saw Doc coming towards her, she stayed quiet and then turned her attention back to the view of the small town.

"What going on Sally?" he asked as he parked next to her.

"What do you mean what's going on?" she said knowing to well what he was asking her.

"You don't scream at people for no reason, I have known you for almost 2 years now so spill," he said looking at her.

Sally sighed knowing that he won't stop bugging her until she tells him the truth.

"If I tell you something you promise not to tell the others until I ready to tell them" she said while looking at the view.

"Sure I promise," he said.

"I was brought up in that world of his," said Sally.

"What!" said a surprise Doc

"My father is a racer who is sponsored by Dinoco," said Sally looking at the view.

'Your father is Strip Weathers" said a surprised Doc.

Sally turned and faced Doc surprised to hear that the Hudson Hornet knew her father's name.

"How did you know about my father?" she said puzzled.

"I try to catch a race or two on the television when I can" said Doc.

Sally smiled and then went back to looking at the view of the town.

"I was brought up living in the world of Racing, watching all of my father races." she said then stopped.

"I love racing and I loved learning about it, you can ask me anything, I could answer in a heartbeat, I loved being "The King" daughter when I was younger until" she stopped in mid sentence.

"Until what, Sally?" questioned Doc.

"I wanted to be known as Sally Morgan Weathers, a normal female cardates normal guys but no, I'm Sally Weathers, daughter of The King, when boys ask me out they treat me as a celebrity and I didn't like that". She said turning her face towards Doc.

Doc didn't say anything but continued to listen to her story.

"I had enough of that world, so after high school, I off course went to law school to become a attorney. After living in a whole different world that doesn't have to do with anything racing except for speeding tickets, I really enjoyed living in that life for awhile." She said

Doc asked a question that was bugging him since she first came into their town.

"So what made you come here in the first place?" questioned Doc.

Sally turned around and faced Doc again.

"Eventually I found myself not happy living in the fast lane, so I did something so unexpected, I went and quit my job and took off not knowing where I headed" she said.

"And you ended up broken down in Radiator Springs with us" said Doc finishing her sentence.

"Yup, I thought I was happy living here with you guys until Rookie here came into town and now I don't know what I feel," she said.

Doc looked around and moved closer to Sally.

"If I tell you something, you promise you never tell anybody, it's just you and me?" he said quietly.

"I won't tell a soul," said Sally

Doc looked around again.

Then he sighed and began to speak.

Doc talked for a few minutes.

Sally's eyes widen after hearing what Doc Hudson had to say.

"So that's why you giving Stickers a hard time." She said.

"Yeah and i still think that rookie needs to get out of town" said Doc.

"It's getting late Sally, let's head back to town" said Doc.

Sally agreed and both cars turned around and headed back to the small town of Radiator Springs.
