Chapter 3: Sarge's Dream

Later during the night Sarge was sleeping soundly in the living quarters of his army surplus store. Reacting battles in his dreams when he was fighting in the war Sarge was a veteran and acted like a typical drill sergeant you see in the movies both to his recruits and his neighbors. He yelled during his sleep 'INCOMING' and 'Samson take the left flank' all that usual military dribble.

However he was awoken by something. He opened his eyes to see a bright light in his living quarters.

"What in the name of Patton's windshield?" he blared.

The light shone towards him as Sarge got its attention, it came closer. While Sarge was not one to show fear he was totally freaked out as he could make out the source of the light as some floating small UFO. It clicked and beeped as it seemed to be taking photos of him then it unleashed dazzling blue lights which seemed to form grids. The grid of blue light then duplicated into two and ran through Sarge as if it was 'scanning' him. Sarge shouted out loud;

"It's Roswell, its Roswell all over again the aliens have come for me!" he blared.

Then the droid that scanned him electrocuted Sarge, it was an attempt to knock him unconscious so he couldn't arouse attention and while it didn't hurt Sarge it sent him back to sleep. The droid dimmed its lights and then said;

"Suitable planetary disguise recorded, list under Autobot name file 'Hound'. Organic life detected in target." And then flew off into the sky without rousing any attention.

Hours passed and it was soon daylight, Sarge awoke feeling groggy, reminded him of how he felt after he and the guys found that Wine rack in Carentan '44. However he hadn't been drinking.

Then he realized the cause of his weird dream.

"Fillmore!" he muttered angrily as Sarge drove outside his surplus store to look for his next door neighbor.

"FILLMORE FRONT AND CENTER ON THE DOUBLE" he blared. Fillmore was a 60's VW 'Hippy' van and brewed his own organic fuel.

"Yo man quiet down, mother nature doesn't like to be disturbed this early in the morning you know?"

"Fillmore you good fer nothin' hippy truck, the fumes from that organic junk you've been brewing has been giving me hallucinations during my sleep" shouted Sarge.

"Woah chill out and slow down dude what's wrong with my super organic boost juice?"

"That hippy crap gives off a worse smell than a Sherman tank with an upset fuel tank and it's been giving me strange dreams, last night I thought I was been visited by little green men in small space ships!" Sarge was going to continue when McQueen had heard everything.

"Woah Sarge I agree with Fillmore you need to take a chill pill." Said Stickers

"Hush down private McQueen this battle is not your affair"

"Well could you at least tell me what you're shouting about?" asked McQueen, Sarge sighed and told him about the strange dream and how he thinks (or rather knows) its Fillmore's Organic fumes that's causing the dreams. Fillmore was quick to counter-argue;

"Woah man don't blame my juice, this thing is 100 pure organic, mother nature's gift to us and is meant to help the body not harm it."

"How would you know Fillmore, it's because of that stuff you constantly look like you've injected yourself with two hundred syringes of Morphine!" Sarge and Fillmore continued arguing with McQueen trying to calm them down when Doc drove in.

"That's enough you two as residents of Radiator Springs I expect you to get along better than this despite the differences you may have had in the past, Sarge calm down you're no longer in the army and Fillmore the 60's are over, stop acting like mother nature is the answer to everything." The two cars huffed then went back into their houses, after all Doc was the towns Judge and they wouldn't challenge his authority.

McQueen then talked to Doc;

"Don't you want to hear why they were arguing?" he said but Doc just laughed.

"Aw Kid I heard everything and they do it all the time. Sarge keeps having dreams and thinks its Fillmore's drink that's to blame and Fillmore thinks that his drink and Mother Nature can solve everyone's problems when all that will happen is that they'll look like Fillmore when they drink his juice. I'm sure they'll forget about this incident soon enough" then Doc suddenly looked at Lightning with a serious face.

"What happened up Tailfin Pass last night?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" asked Stickers.

"I heard a rockslide up there, and then I noticed you and Sally were missing."

"Oh that….er….uuummm" Doc sighed.

"You and Sally were racing up there again weren't you?"

"Yeah" sighed Lightning shamefully.

"I've told you and Sally that you can't keep treating Radiator Springs as your own personal racing ground, you know about the speed laws and the dangers of some areas of Tailfin Pass."

"I'm sorry Doc me and Sally just wanted some time on our own, we just went up to our favorite looking spot and then we started to race. We raced up near the waterfall when suddenly the side of the chasm started collapsing"

"Because of all the noise you were making?" asked Doc, Lightning sighed again.

"Yeah"

"Listen Rookie if you don't want Sheriff to end up pounding you again you better start respecting the roads because it's for everyone not just you"

"Yeah I'm sorry Doc." Lightning did feel ashamed maybe because the rockslide might have posed a danger to everyone in Radiator Springs. Doc looked at him, sighed and smiled.

"But seeming as you just got back I'll let you off this time. But remember if you want to race use Willy's Butte."

"Yes Doc I will" and McQueen drove off quickly. Doc laughed a little but was then greeted by Sheriff.

"Hey Sheriff, what's the matter, your rear axel acting up again?"

"No Doc, I had the most weird dream last night" this got Doc's attention.

"Dream? What happened in it?"

"Well I dreamt that there was this floating thing in front of me when I was sleepin' then there were weird blue lights, it gave me an electric shock but before I drifted back to sleep I heard the words like 'Auto' & 'Bot' & 'Prowl"

Doc seemed dumbfounded.

"Come with me and tell me what else happened Sheriff" as the two cars drove into Doc's small hospital.
