Chapter 4: When She Won Another Race

A/N: I don't own Cars! Not any part of the triology, either the shorts! I'm only writing some fluffy memories about Lightning and Cruz. Also, curse word hint.

"This all happened like a year ago, and you keep telling me this like it happened yesterday..." Sally gasped.

"You want me to tell everything. Even thought, you know, Florida 500 ain't happened yesterday, or even last week. Either a year. Almost like two year." Lightning told her.

"Okay, get over Florida 500, what happened in Manchaster, or wherever the second race happened." Sally rushed.

"Manchaster... How she called it, Manchaster Snipper..."

"Don't get way emotional, we've just started it. You've got more time to get emotional."

"You don't understand, at Manchaster Snipper. Never will. Even after I told you these things..."

/Flashback/

A week passed by since that emotional training beetwhen those two, who haven't realised their thing for eachother. Closed open doors. How they felt it. They just couldn't open theirself up to eachother, without getting their emotions out.

The second race taked place in Manchaster, as how they heard it. Manchaster Snipper, as Cruz named it. It was the only thing what comed up to her mind, and it ain't found being funny. It became the name, as they called it, so Cruz felt happy after all, her stupid idea became something serious taken, even if it was beetwhen them.

"What's matter with the Snipper of Manchaster, are you ready to have another sucess winning?" Lightning asked.

"After you, old man." Cruz joked. "I'm not winning it without you, and you should know it already."

Lightning felt how his cheeks are turning red, because of overmeaning something, what he shouldn't. She was just being nice. But oh, if he could feel how hard was it for Cruz to say something nice without dying away.

"You will win it without me, either. And you should know it. If I know it, and you know it either you have everything in yourself. I know it." And now Cruz blushed as deep as she could. They were fully red. Facing eachother. And not knowing a thing about it...

"I think... we're pretty... uhm... embarrassed?" Cruz asked.

"Yes... I think so..." Lightning answered.

"Keep faith in me." And after this sentence, she ran away. And she couldn't hear, how he said... he always has faith in her...

/Flashback break/

"After all you've made eachother blush haven't realised a thing? How in the hell?" Sally breaked everything.

"Snipper 'Chester memory hasn't ended itself to tell. Are you really not intrested?" Lightning joked.

"Look, honestly, no! Why would I be intrested in the story how my ex-boyfriend got to fall in love with another girl? It hurts me really deep inside, just not enough to take me over! Because it needs to get heared, I have to look like I'm intrested. Go on and get the fuck over with this Snipper stuff." Sally told him.

"You've breaked me, not me. Get it straight."

"Excuese me?" She looked suprised.

"In the telling. I mean. Literally, yes. I've breaked you. That's the true stuff." He got things straight. After all, he got Snipper Manchaster again in his mind, and he got lost in it...

/Flashback, again/

He would't be happier, than seeing her won the race again. He knew it would happen, and yes, she did it. Won again.

"I should trust you next time." Cruz laughed.

"I have faith in you, as you asked me to have. But uh, I already had. And will have." Lightning explained. And yet, again. Cruz blushed. She tried to cover her blush in her smile.

"I never thought you will actually have faith in me..." Cruz started.

"Don't get way emotional. We have so many thing to do."

"No. Honestly. After all, the beginning ain't went on well. I thought... We hate eachother. Well. That you hate me... But I just can't believe that you're not hating on me." She explained.

"What are you exactly meaning with this...? Cruz, you're scaring me..."

"I just..." She sighed. She thought it's comming out from her mouth... But she said stop to it. "Can't tell you. Now." After her sentence, she just, left him. Broken. Walked away. Because she was way scared to tell him everything, on her heart...

"Wish you could tell me one time... Or I will step..." He said it in himself.

/Flashback end/

"You haven't noticed it from that sentence, Stickers. Honestly?" Sally asked.

"At that time I wasn't sure in a thing!" Lightning answered.

"It's getting worster..."
