Chapter 2

The morning sun rose high in the sky. Its bright light reflected on Boost's metal body, making him glisten. His eyes slowly opened to the sun's brightness and he looked around. He noticed his friends were still asleep. "Where…where am I?" he said quietly

"Hey there," came a soft voice from in front of him. Boost looked up and saw a human girl with light brown hair standing in front of him with a soft smile on her face. She wore a tank top with a big 95 on the front and jeans with a stud belt. "How are you?"

"Where am I? What is this place?" Boost asked.

"Your on the planet Earth. A planet populated by humans and that is millions of miles away from your home," the girl said. "By the way, my name is Jane. My job is to feed you guys and give you some slight attention."

"WHAT? I'm not even on my home planet anymore and I'm in another cage!" Boost complained.

"Sadly, yes. Just letting you know, this was NOT my idea. It was Doc, Sheriff, and Christine who came up with the idea to put you guys in this dirty impound. Well…I gotta get going…"

"WINGO! How is Wingo? Is he O.K?" Boost yelled, banging at the cage.

"Wingo is fine. Doc was up all last night fixing him up. He got injured REALLY badly. He literally had NO face you know. It was all smashed in. Damn that Nirvana! She has nearly trashed the life of every talking car I know. Well, except for Christine, she has her own little dilemma. Anyway…he's still asleep in Doc's office. He should wake up soon, but you guys should see him probably tomorrow. And if you guys haven't noticed, you are fixed up too. Well…like I said. Gotta go…bye," she finished and she left. Boost watched her leave and looked at his friends. DJ just started to open his eyes and Snot Rod was still snoring loudly. DJ gave Snot Rod a disgusted look and then looked over to Boost.

"Who was that?" DJ asked.

"Jane. She says she's going to feed us and give us SLIGHT attention," Boost sputtered. "I asked her about Wingo. She says he's all fixed up and he's sleeping now. We might see him tomorrow. Oh yeah…we got fixed up too."

"Nice. That's nice," DJ said, admiring himself. Snot Rod stopped snoring and woke up. He sniffled and looked around.

"What did I miss?" Snot Rod asked before letting out a huge sneeze. Fire shot out of his exhaust pipes and DJ and Boost backed away quickly. When Snot Rod was done, he sniffled again and smiled.

"Nothing Snot Rod. All we know is that Wingo will be O.K," Boost said flatly.

"YEH!" Snot Rod yelled. He started laughing and jumping up and down. DJ and Boost gave him strange looks as they watched him get over excited. His fun stopped when he saw 3 cars come around the corner of the building which their impound was behind. It was Doc, Sheriff, and Christine.

"Well boys, how do you like your new home?" Sheriff asked the tuners.

"It SUCKS!" Snot Rod blurted out. DJ and Boost smacked his side to make him shut up. "OWW..ACHOOO!" Snot Rod let out.

"Anyway…you met Jane, right?" Doc asked. The tuners nodded. "O.K. Were here to tell you your punishment for attempting to hurt Christine as a prank." Christine looked at them and let out a deep growl. "Your punishment is that you are banned from your planet forever and you must live in this impound for life."

"If you escape, I will find you and I WILL kill you. GOT THAT!" Christine yelled. "And NO ONE ever escapes from Christine. NO ONE!" Christine wanted to attack them, but Sheriff was able to hold her back. She barred her sharp, perfectly white teeth at them and growled. The tuners didn't even complain, they nodded nervoulsly and never took their eyes off the 3 cars.

"Good. Glad you boys understand," Sheriff finished. He drove away with Doc, but Christine stayed. Christine was about to say something until she heard someone scream out her name. A big rusty tow truck with big buckteeth came around the corner to the impound and slid right next to Christine. It was Mater.

"Hey there, sweetie," Mater said and gently nudged Christine's side. Christine smiled and looked back at him sweetly.

"Hey baby, what's up…?" Christine began to say until she was interrupted.

"AWWW! Look at Christine! She's getting on with the rusty guy!" Snot Rod blurted out. "Are you guys going steady?" Christine shot Snot Rod a look.

"What the hell are you talking about? We're not going steady, were married. I greet him like this everyday," Christine took her red eyes off on Snot Rod and back to Mater. Snot Rod just stood there, clueless. "Come on sweetie. Let's go." Christine shot the tuners an evil look as they drove away from the impound.

"Owned," DJ said to Snot Rod. Snot Rod blushed and didn't talk for the rest of the day.
