Do you really think I own Cars? Well, I don't!
It is June 23 and Holley is in Cone 2 when she hears the sound of several cars pulling into Radiator Springs. She pulls out of the cone, knowing that her friends from C.H.R.O.M.E's training academy should be arriving very soon, if not now. She spots a group of three cars and drives towards them.
"Holley!" they yell from the road.
"Hello everyone," Holley says with a large smile on her face. She hadn't seen many of these cars in years due to their line of work. They had talked over the phone, sure, but nothing substitutes for seeing your friends in the metal.
"There's our prima donna! Quite the lady of the hour!" one of the cars, a green Italian Ferrari with a multi-colored fashion scarf wrapped around her cab says to Holley. "Oh, you must be so-ah excited for tomorrow!"
"Believe me, Carlotta, I am!" Holley says.
"Where is this Mater we have all heard so much about?" a Maybach Exelero says. She is painted such a deep purple that it almost looks black.
"I believe he and Lightning are out having some guy-time Violet. I can only imagine what he's gotten them into this time…"
They all laugh, knowing of some of the antics that Mater and Lightning are capable of from the many phone conversations.
The third car, a reddish-orange SL Coupe 2.0 of the group hears something behind her and turns around. Holley looks past her and laughs.
"I guess they are back," Holley says. "Carlotta, Violet, Kim…you may want to get off the road."
The four cars back onto the driveway of the Cozy Cone just in time to see Mater and Lightning racing down the road. Mater breaks when he sees Holley.
"Listen, if anybody asks…we was out smashin' mailboxes ok?" the tow truck says and then drives off.
"What was that all about?" Kim asks.
"Oh, I have a pretty good idea…" Holley says with a smirk.
Soon, a very panicked-looking Finn comes into view with a heard of tractors right behind him. The older spy car races past, trying to shake the tractors. He spots the Cozy Cone Motel and quickly fires one of his front bumperette grappling hooks onto one of the cones. Just in time, he retracts the line, pulling himself out of the line of travel of the mooing tractors. After the herd passes, Finn lowers himself onto the ground next to Holley and her friends.
"Remind me to never go tractor tipping with the two of them ever again," Finn says, nearly out of breath.
Holley can't help herself. She bursts out laughing, her friends join in as well. Soon, Finn is even chuckling at himself.
After everyone helps round up the tractors and Sheriff has herded them back to their fields, the townscars gather at Flo's V8 Café. The only ones missing are Lightning, Mater, Finn, and Sheriff. The last of the group probably lecturing the others about tractor tipping. Holley chuckles to herself thinking about Finn being lectured. He was probably getting the whole 'You are the older car, you should be the example.' type speech. Holley knows that, despite the lecture he is probably getting and almost being run down by the tractors, that Finn had fun. She hadn't seen him laugh in quite awhile. She could only wonder how Lightning and Mater had convinced the old car to go along with them though…
Soon enough, they pull into Flo's. Lightning heads over to Sally, where Holley knows he will get another earful about tractor tipping. Finn drives over to Flo to order a pint of oil and Mater makes his way over to his fiancée and her friends.
"Carlotta, Violet, Kim… This is my fiancé, Mater. Mater, these are my friends," Holley says.
"Well, howdy! My name's Mater! Like tuh-mater… but without da 'tuh'!" Mater says.
The looks on the faces of Holley's friends are ones of huge surprise as Holley had refused to show any of them pictures of Mater or even let them talk to him over the phone. Holley had done so just for one reason: so she could see the looks on their faces when she introduced them!
Kim is the first one to recover. "It's very nice to meet you Sir Mater. I'm Kim," she says.
"Aw, shoot! None of this here 'sir' business Miss Kim! Any friend o' Holley's is a friend o' mine!"
"How do you do Mater? I am-ah Carlotta."
"Very well, thank ya Miss Carlotta! That sure is a purty scarf you got yourself right there."
"Thank you Mater. It is from-ah one of my most favorite operas, Hannibal."
"Mater, I'm Violet. It is very nice to finally meet the car Holley has been going on and on about for the past two-and-a-half years."
"Thank ya Miss Violet! It's nice to meet ya too!" Mater says. Off in the distance a resounding bang! is heard. "Aw, dang…I gotta go now Holley. It sounds like Otis done broke down again. See y'all later!"
"Later Mater!" the townscars say as Mater drives away
"Later Mater…That's funny right there!" Mater says.
"Seriously?" Violet asks Holley as soon as the tow truck is out of earshot.
"Yes. Massively charming, isn't he?" Holley says.
"I suppose stranger things have happened," the reddish-orange SL Coupe 2.0 says.
"Oh, hush!" Holley teases.
"On your first mission too, eh?" Carlotta says and softly hits Holley with one of her tires. "I hope I will find someone for myself one of these-ah days."
Little does Carlotta know that a certain yellow Italian car has already fallen for her…
A/N- Sorry to disappoint any of you who were looking forward to the wedding, but I had a few ideas that didn't fit in with the actual day of their wedding, so I wrote this chapter! I may extend this fic to 7 parts because I also have a few ideas for their honeymoon…
If you can guess the origins of Holley's three friends, I will attempt to give you a cameo in one of the upcoming parts of this fic or Real Gone. You only have to guess one of them to get the chance of a cameo and please limit your guess to one of the cars. Extra points if you can point out all of the specific parts about the character from another movie/book/musical/ect. that I referenced. The most thorough explanation for each CARacter gets the cameo!
I have a new poll up on my profile page. I have many ideas for my next fan fiction and I want to know which one you want to see first! Please let me know by voting in the poll! I also have a sever case of writers block for Real Gone so suggestions are welcome there as well…
I should have The Wedding up very soon. Now, all I ask of you is to REVIEW!
