Me: Okay! Now we find out what happened to Aura.
Aura: If you kill me Ill kill you.
Me: If your dead, how prey tell will you do that?
Aura: blinks DANG IT!
"……beep…….beep…...beep….." Doc sighed as he watched the monitor. Aura's 'heartbeat' was steady at least. The Blue Beetle hung limp in the air as she was held up by the lift. Not a sound could be heard other then the monitor's regular 'beeps'.
Doc cast one last gloomy glance at Aura before backing out of his office. The Hudson was immediately bombarded with questions. "Quiet!" Doc hissed under his breath. "She's asleep." Everyone went silent and looked at each other in worry.
"Doc…is she okay?" Sally asked quietly. Doc sighed, "She's stable." Guido spoke up as well, "Qualcuno di sbagliato con lei?" Luigi translated, "Whats-a wrong with her?"
Doc shook his head slightly, "Apparently when I flushed her engine not all of the medicine got out and stayed in her engine. That was one thing. Another would be is that she's been poisoned."
"Poisoned?!" Everyone yelled but was shushed by Sheriff. Doc nodded solemnly, "Oil poisoning." Flo gasped, "Oh no! I poisoned her!"
"Easy Flo. From my diagnosis the poisons been in her system for over two weeks. She hasn't been here long enough to get it from you." Flo sighed in relief. "My guess she got poisoned where ever she was before she got here."
"THE GRAND CANYON!!" The twins screamed out. "Quiet!!" Sheriff half yelled at them. Sarge looked at them questionably, "Whats this about the Grand Canyon?"
Mia and Tia shoved the last issue of Aura's magazine into his face. "The Grand Canyon was the last place she went before this! She must have got it there!"
Doc nodded slightly, "Seems possible. But after some rest and antibiotics she'll be fine." The town let out a sigh of relief. Then Fillmore spoke up, "Can we see her man?"
Soon everyone was asking the same thing, Doc really didn't want them in his office but he agreed. "All right, but you must be quiet!" Individually they all nodded and slowly entered the room. Not everyone could fit in at once so Doc just opened the doors all the way so they could look in, but not go in.
One by one 11 sets of eyes widened and several gasps could be heard when they saw Aura. She hung limp on the lift; dried tears, grease, oil and several other unknown fluids covered her frame. She did not awake when Fillmore quietly called out to her, begging her to be okay.
The monitors beeping started to get slower and slower, Doc gave Aura a quick shock and a sharp intake of breath was heard from the girl but nothing more. The monitors beeping went back to normal and Doc sighed in relief.
"Please be okay Aurora…please." Everyone gasped in shock when they heard Red whisper his prayer, and stared at him. Red backed away from them slightly, his shyness returning to him.
But Red was soon forgotten when a quiet moan was heard from the lift. Aura didn't open her eyes but she still mumbled a barely audible name…Fillmore. Fillmore blinked in surprise but said nothing, Luigi glared at him.
Aura took a sharp breath but soon fell into unconsciousness once again. "Alright that's enough. Let the girl be." Doc ushered them away from the door and shut the doors. "Go on, go to bed. I'll let you see her in the morning if she's any better."
One at a time the residents drove to their homes, but three stayed. Luigi, Fillmore, and Sarge. The latter only there to escort Fillmore home, as per usual.
"Come on Fillmore. Lets go!" Sarge said gruffly. Fillmore just sighed, after casting one last look at the doors and wishing he could see the car within them, he turned and left with Sarge. Luigi glared at Fillmore, jealous that Aura had said the bus' name instead of his.
Luigi huffed then returned to his beloved store to sleep. Doc sighed then lowered Aura to the ground so she could rest. "You'll feel better soon Aura. I promise." Doc quietly turned off the lights and watched Aura for a moment before closing the door and heading for his room.
No one really slept that night. Although she had only been there a week, the cars of Radiator Springs cared for the girl. No one wanted to see anything bad happen to her. Especially two love sick love bugs.
Me: Short I know. But I wanted her diagnosis to one wittle chapter alone. After this I'm starting on the next one. Kay?
Mack: Review please. Oh and hey Twilit Violet. smiles at her
