It was three thirty in the morning and Lightning was tired but still racing down the road. He hadn't made it to Autovia yet but he hoped he'd get there soon. He looked around at the road and didn't see a car in sight at all except himself. He actually felt..alone with no one around. The road and city looked like a ghost town. Lightning sighed as he looked up at the moonless summer night sky. It was raining and raindrops pinged on Light's windshield making him blink rapidly and repeatedly looking straight ahead hoping that'd help a little. He soon saw the outline of the town through his tired blue eyes.

Good..I'm almost there..I wonder how Chick's holding up...

Thunder boomed in the distance as the storm rolled in once again.

Sally meanwhile, was at the Cozy Cone and worried sick about Light. She hadn't seen him since the last day he trained Chick. She decided to go out and look for him. The blue Porsche soon went out of RS looking for Lights in the rain. She wondered where he was and if he was ok..

Please Stickers...Please be ok..

Doc was still with Chick as the rain continued. The green stockcar was getting worse in health. His breathing was still bad moaning softly at each breath he managed to get. His filters felt sore and tired, it felt like it was ready to give up. He wondering how much longer it'd take for Light to get the medicine. Doc was starting to get concerned as well. He'd never seen Chick so ill in his life and to see the green stockcar look like this almost made his engine sink. He decided to try his best on comforting

"Com'n Chick ya can't give it up now..I know it seems bad now but it'll get better..."

Though right now I'm kinda havin' my doubts...He's deteriorating faster in health than I'd hope...Maybe...Maybe he won't make it...

He was soon broke of his thoughts as he saw an outline appear. He at first thought it was Light and started to drive closer only to reveal the outline was a blue Porsche. It was Sally...As bad as the storm was brewing in the sky, he was concerned that'd she be hurt and Chick was already in trouble with his problem he didn't need her hurt also. He also knew she'd never come out in a storm as bad as this unless she had to, apparently this was one of those times.

Doc drove over to Sally his tank feeling like it dropped as he wondered why she was out here. His crystal eyes looked into her and he noticed the look she had. She had a look of worry and fear.

"Sally? Whatta doin' out in thi-" Sally soon cut him off answering his question

"I can't find Stickers..I haven't seen him since he went to look for Chick who hasn't shown up either.."

It soon came to the Hornet that she really hadn't seen all three of them for awhile. He decided to try and ease her worry.

"About that Sally...The kid ain't here right now because I asked him to go to Autovia to get medicine.."

"Medicine..w-why would you-..?" She couldn't quite ask the question the shock of it being high..But she didn't know it'd be alot worse.

"Come with me a sec.."

The navy Hudson Hornet drove over to the tree where Chick was with Sally behind him. When the blue Porsche saw him she froze in a state of shock seeing him..He looked even worse than when Lightning found him by now. Doc had a grim look on his grille looking at Chick glancing at Sally occasionally explaining the rest to her

"This is why..Chick had done somethin' and got himself badly injured plus he had an infection when I arrived..It got too bad for me to take care of myself so the rookie is going to Pike to get the medicine in Autovia...Though right now every second counts..."

Sally looked back to Chick hearing his breathing now for once actually concerned for him too. Now she was worried for both Light and Chick

Please stickers..get here soon..

Lightning finally raced into Autovia slowing down looking at the town. It was even more of a ghostown than the highway. He drove into Pike's old clinic and got the medicine. He soon drove out ready to start his drive back when a black blur raced past the corner of his eye. The red stockcar tensed up at the fast movement for a minute looking warily around not seeing anyone or anything.

"I haven't slept at all since this run..My eyes must be playing tricks on me..."

He started to drive home when the black blur shot infront of him. The car was a female black Corvette zr1 with golden pinstripes down her sides, her eyes were torqiouse and full of mischief.

"Then if I'm a fantasy to you I'm the best thing you ever saw.." She said slyly smirking

Lightning looked at the Corvette zr1 infront of him glaring somewhat

"Your not a fantasy but whoever you are I'm not interested in your games...I have the best thing already plus a life to save...I don't need you.."

He started to drive around her going home. He was loyal to Sally and wasn't one to be in love games, plus she didn't seem trusting. She seemed like the type to bribe, get what she wanted then run. He hoped that maybe with that said she'd let him be.

Shakaria narrowed her torqiouse eyes then drove up to Light again stopping him

"Look racecar..You are famous and you should be with the high class cars of you status, not the lower ones...They don't love you they're just using you..." She smirked

Lightning growled narrowing his eyes "How do I know your not? You don't seem trusting and my friends would never just use me. Just because they're not as popular as you think they should be doesn't mean their bad. Infact they taught me to be a better car, not a selfish high-class racer.."

"Then you need a new lesson hotshot.."

Suddenly without warning Shakaria put her lips on Lightning's kissing him. The red stockcar's eyes widened as he gave a muffled yelp of surprise from this. He quickly backed out of the kiss shaking his hood in a disgusted manner.

Shakaria chuckled "I guess it was more than you could handle..."

"No..It was I don't love you..I'm already taken..."

He soon drove off racing back to Radiator Springs thinking the event over in his mind

I hope Sally never finds this out..She'll never love me anymore even though this wasn't even my fault..
