A/N: I wanted to thank Agent Sandra Cartrip for the awesome review :)
"Wait a minute! You can't be Blitz, there's only room for one Lightning!" McQueen exclaimed.
"I think it's fun!" Mater laughed with a huge grin. "We gots American Lightning and German Lightning!"
"I'm not from Germany, I'm from California." Blitz said with a huff. "Though, I did race in Germany…" She trailed off thinking of better times. Anything to take her away from these people that were accusing her of being the bad guy. She did nothing wrong other than being dropped in unfamiliar territory and forced to orient herself with nothing.
"Oh! You race?! I knew it!" Lightning shouted revving his engines.
"Now ya done it. Ya got 'im all excited…" Mater whispered to Blitz. "That there is-"
"I know who he is, he kept talking about how great he is when you were hauling me." She sighed with an annoyed look. "You only caught me because I was low on gas." She looked to McQueen who was blabbing on about racing. He wanted to see who was the best Lightning. Blitz never really liked her name which is why she was known as Blue. "Call me Blue." Lightning stopped for a moment.
"Come on, we need to prove who's the best Lightning." McQueen said with a slight pout.
"I don't want to be Blitz or Lightning, just Blue." Blitz said as she followed Sheriff. That was the end of that conversation. She didn't want to have to prove her name. Blitz knew she was fast, but lightning wasn't the best way to describe it. Though, it didn't help that her name meant lightning. That was something not of her choosing. At times she wished that she had a more normal name such as Beth or Jen.
"Blue is it?" Sheriff said, "Well, your first job will be to help Luigi and Guido clean-up their shop." He rolled around to Casa Della Tires. At the front waiting for them were Luigi and Guido. The two looked indifferent at the German car behind Sheriff. "I'll be back within a few hours. You better not run off once I take off this boot." Sheriff leered at her as he gave the boot a good smack with his tire. Once the boot was off Blitz didn't do anything other than turn around and drive up to the two Italian cars. Sheriff left slightly dumbfounded.
"You didn't want to escape?" Luigi questioned with his signature thick Italian accent.
"Why would I leave if I don't know where to go?" Blitz replied.
Luigi didn't know what to say at that point. He gave her some tasks to clean up the shop. As she cleaned, Luigi and Guido sat back after some light cleaning of their own. That was when they notice the wear and tear on the Bimmers' tires. It looks like they hadn't been changed in a while. Also, racing tends to burn up tires real quickly.
Not very fond of the silence, Luigi started a conversation with Blitz. They chatted a bit with Guido chiming in every once in awhile. It turned out that she was a much more pleasant car than they had initially thought. Her physical appearance was very aggressive with the altered lip and wide body design, but her personality said otherwise.
"Luigi's place no longer looks like a stampede of wild tractors came through." Luigi said joyously as he twirled around with Guido. Everything had been neatly put away and all the tires were cleaned off and looked as if they came off the truck just yesterday. Luigi and Guido led Blitz outside since there weren't any other tasks for her to do. Sheriff was waiting patiently to take her to her last task of the day. He took her to the Cozy Cone. Sally was in her office working on some paperwork.
"Miss Sally, Blue is here to help you with any duties." Sheriff said pulling aside so that Blitz was visible. Sally rolled out of her office and to where the two were parked.
"Well, I did need some supplies to be brought over to the Wheel Well." Sally said turning around to reveal a trailer beside her office. Sheriff left yet again without a word. "I hope you can tow." Blitz turned around and lifted a small flap on her rear that revealed a spot to connect a tow hitch. Sally helped to put on the hitch and the two were off onto the open road. Sally led while Blitz trailed behind.
Everything was going smoothly until Blitz saw her reflection in the crashing waterfall. She let out a shriek when she noticed the awful road rash on her bottom lip. Panicked, she began to back off the bridge and back into the forest. Though, she had forgotten that she was hitched to a trailer which decided to go into the forest instead of staying on the road. The weight of the trailer pulled Blitz with it and down a steady slope they went. Sally watched in shock from the road. She had to go get Mater quick.
"Don't worry Blue, I'll get Mater to pull you up!" Sally shouted as she drove off in a hurry. Blitz began to feel even worse as she tried to get herself and the trailer back up the hill. Every time she would rev up to build enough speed to pull both weights, she would spin out and create billows of dirt and rocks. She stopped and thought of how to deal with the situation. That was when she heard it, a familiar engine. Though she couldn't place it.
"Do you see any signs of her?" Came a voice from the road above. "I could have sworn I heard that engine of hers."
"Nah, you might have been hearing things." Another voice answered. "Come on, let's report back." Blitz heard the two drive off. She let out a breath once she no longer heard them. Who were those cars and why were they looking for her? Blitz didn't understand why all these things were happening to her. She tried to remember what she was doing last before she ended up in Radiator Springs. Yet, when she thought back everything became foggy. There was a chance that she was drugged.
"She's down there Mater." Sally said peeking over the edge of the slope.
"Hey Blue! Imma need ya to unhitch so I can get ya up!" Mater shouted twirling his hook. Blitz did as she were told. The tow truck easily hooked her rear end to pull her up. Once she was back on the street, Mater fished out the trailer.
"Thank you…" Blitz said embarrassed that she had to be towed out of a glorified ditch.
"Aw, it was nuthin'." Mater replied with a huge grin. "Ya know, ya remind me of Lightning when he first got here…" He gave a slight chuckle at the memories of their first meeting. Blitz frowned. She was nothing like McQueen and she didn't really like the comparisons that the whole town seems to think is a thing.
"Do you think you could haul the trailer the rest of the way?" Sally asked with a hint of concern. She didn't want a repeat of whatever had happened.
"I'm fine," Blitz said as she hitched the trailer back up.
"Ok, well, Mater is coming along just in case anything else happens." She said taking lead.
"Woo-hoo! Roadtrip!" Mater exclaimed rushing after Sally with unbridled excitement. He began to sing some road tunes. Blitz tried her best to ignore Mater's lack of tone while he sang. Though, she couldn't put it past him that it was something he seemed to enjoy.
Blitz found her mind wandering to just moments ago. She had to figure out more about what happened to her. Who were those mysterious cars and why were they after her? Again every idea that popped in her mind wasn't feasible. Not noticing where she was going, Blitz bumped into Mater. By that action alone, Blitz remembered something! She remembered going to a club with her best friend Val after a race. That only raised more questions than answers. What had happened to Val?
