To the Guest:
These SalQueen stories are brilliant. Sally and Lightning are the perfect and unbreakable couple. I love reading these stories to my nephew, although I have to leave out the M rated bits to stay safe. Please add in a stag-do for Lightning and a hen-night for Sally or bachelor and bachelorette party as America would put it as Sally and Lightning are Americans. A bachelor or bachelorette party was never mentioned for them in all the other stories before these two being updated.
I'm way a head of you when it comes to the parties. Sally's is written, Lightning's is about half. I glad that your nephew is enjoying the story too. I wanted to get this chapter up a few days ago, but between work and everything else I been busy, but here it is now, enjoy!.
Chapter 3.-Paper Work, Training and a Date Night-
After a few minutes pondering, Lightning decided to go into his headquarters and get some paperwork taken care of. It was after five so the headquarters was closed for the night. Lightning unlocked the building and drove down the long hallway and into his office. He started signing his racing forms and the next time he looked at his clock it was nearly midnight. "Wow," Lightning said quietly to himself. "I need to get home; Sally is going to kill me for being so late." He drove out of his office, down the long hallway, and out of the building. He locked up and set off down the extremely dark road. It was times like these that Lightning truly wished he had working headlights. Lightning made his way carefully down the long stretch of road that lead directly back to Radiator Springs. Once he finally made it back, Lightning drove to the Cozy Cone. He drove into the office and found Sally at her desk, doing some paperwork of her own. "Hey," he said. "Sorry I'm back a little late. I started some paperwork and I lost track of time." "Huh," Sally said, looking up from her desk. "So you didn't bother checking your phone or call me to tell me you were going to be late?" "Sally, I'm sorry," Lightning said. "My phone is in the trailer, and I just completely lost track of time. I had some stuff I really needed to get done." "Okay," Sally said. "You just scared me. Call next time, okay?" "I will," Lightning said. He pulled up next to Sally. "I didn't mean to scare you, Sweetheart." "I know you didn't. Have you asked Doc about marring us?" Sally said "No, not yet. I'm going to ask him after training tomorrow." Lightning said. Sally yawned. "I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning." "Okay," Lightning said. He kissed Sally's finder, drove out of the office, and into his own cozy cone. After sitting and thinking about the inconvenient wedding plans for an hour, Lightning finally fell asleep.
The next morning: Doc woke Lightning up at six, by bagging on his cone's door. "Come on, Rookie," Doc said. "It's time to train." "All right I'm getting up" Lightning said groggily. He opened the door and drove out. Lightning had only gotten about five hours of sleep, so he was very tired. "What time did you get back here last night? Doc asked "Around midnight" Lightning yawned. "I finished all my release forms and applications for next season." "Good" Doc said "I thought I heard you come back around midnight. I'll go easy on you today." "Thanks," Lightning said, relieved. As the two cars neared Willy's Butte, Lightning wondered whether it was a good idea to ask Doc if he wants to be the one to marry him and Sally. Doc had seemed depressed and a little distant ever since Lightning proposed to Sally and she said yes. Once he and Doc arrived at Willy's Butte, Lightning did a couple of warm up laps around the track, slowed down, and drove over to Doc. "What do you need to work on?" Doc asked. "I don't know," Lightning said, racking his brain. "Maybe agility, my axles aren't as flexible as they used to be before my wreck." Doc nodded. "I've noticed that," he said. "I know something that may help though." "What is it?" Lightning asked. "Wait here," Doc said. "I'll be right back." While Doc was gone, Lightning drove a few laps around the track. He drifted from side to side, mainly killing time. Five minutes later, Doc returned with ten traffic cones. Doc set the cones in a straight line on the track with twenty feet in between each. "Weave through them" Doc said. "It should loosen your axles up." "Okay" Lightning said "How fast?" "Start at thirty," Doc said. "Then we'll take it from there." Lightning started his engine and started waving through the cones at thirty miles per hour.
He felt a tight pull in his right front axle, but he kept going. "Good" Doc said. "Did you feel the pull?" "Yeah, it kinda felt good though" Lightning said. He stretched his bad axle, wincing when a minor pain shot through it. "Try forty," Doc said. Lightning turned around and picked up speed heading towards the cones. He turned his tires for the first cone and weaved through quickly. This time, the pulling in his axle was worse, but it good great to stretch "Good," Doc said pleased. "Try fifty" Lightning grinned and went through the cones again. Before long, Lightning was ripping though the cones at seventy miles per hour. "I'm going to try one hundred" Lightning said eagerly. He lined up with the cones "Go ahead," Doc said. "You won't make it though." "Well, I'm still going to try," Lightning said. He revved his engine loudly and sped through the cones, throwing his wheels from left to right and to the left again. He went through the last cone and stopped. "You were saying?" Lightning asked smugly. "You've got stuff, Kid," Doc said, obviously happy with his performance. "My record was eighty-five." "That's good too," Lightning said. "Yup," Doc said. "You're done for today. Don't worry about training tomorrow, just be ready for a hard day after that, you'll be sore tomorrow." "Got it," Lightning said. "But Doc, I have to ask you a question, okay?" "Okay, Rookie," Doc said. He began to pick up the cones on the track. "Shoot" "Will you marry Sally and me?" Lightning asked. Doc froze and he dropped the cones. "That's not a good idea" he said quickly, speeding away, leaving Lightning coughing and dumbstruck in a cloud of dust. Lightning furrowed his brow. He had never seen Doc act in that manner before. Lightning began to wonder if Doc was not completely against him getting married. Lightning picked up the cones and drove back to Radiator Springs.
Once he made it back to the town, Lightning put the cones away and drove to Flo's where he saw Sally eating breakfast. "Hey," Sally said. "How did your training go?" "The training went ok," Lightning said in a flat tone. "That's good," Sally said, obviously confused. "Then why do you seem so upset?" "Because I don't think Doc wants us to get married," Lightning replied. He shifted uncomfortably; his axle was getting sore and stiff. "That's a little paranoid," Sally stated. "Are you sure? How do you know?" "Yeah, I'm sure," Lightning said. "Whenever I try to bring the topic up, he says something short and speeds away. When I asked him this morning if he would marry us, he just said it was not a good idea and took off." Lightning said "I think that we need to find someone else to do the ceremony if I can't change Doc's mind" "I'm sure there's a logical explanation" Sally said. "Maybe" Lightning said slowly. "But Doc has been too distant lately to ask him if he's okay or not." "Just be there for him," Sally said. "He'll open up sooner or later. "I hope so," Lightning replied "I really do." "I'll work on finding a back up minister just in case, but I really want Doc to marry us." Sally said. "So do I. Do want to get dinner and a movie tonight?" Lightning asked, Sally gave him a sideways glance. "You mean like a date?" She asked, Lightning drove up in front of her "Absolutely" He whispered, and then pressed his lips to hers. Sally sighed and let herself melt into the kiss. She loved when Lightning kissed her. The feeling of his soft lips against hers caused her feel warm and light-hooded. "I would love that" Sally said "I'll see you later." "Bye," Lightning said.
That evening: The movie began, and Sally snuggled up comfortably next to Lightning. He smiled, and he took her wheel in his. About half an hour later, Sally turned and kissed him, and it quickly turned into a make-out session. "Get a room, you two!" Someone in the back of the crowd shouted, throwing an empty oil can at them, hitting Lightning in the side. Sally blushed, and Lightning snickered. Lightning continued to kiss Sally, loving the sound of her engine purring happily with every little kiss. "Soldier!" Sarge shouted from nearby. "Not a good display of public code of conduct" "Dude, let them feel the love, man" Fillmore said "Shut up, you hippie!" Lightning smiled at Sally "Maybe we should have parked at the back." He said "I think we're making a seen" "We better behave" Sally said "People might get the wrong impression." "So what. I have no problems letting the world know that I love you." Lightning said.
When the movie was over Lightning and Sally went for a moon light drive. By the time they got back they were the only ones awake, besides a sheriff's deputy that was watching over the sleeping town. Lightning had to admit that he was getting tired. He followed Sally quietly over to the Cozy Cone motel, escorted her to her apartment's doorway. Sally hovered for a few seconds, staring directly into his eyes. He looked back at her, his heart pounding uncontrollably and smiled with joy. Then he noticed her gazing at his expression and he blinked his eyes timorously. "Night" was the only coherent word he could form. She just gave him one last smile and turned to enter her apartment. He spotted that her spoiler was up, displaying her pin stripping tattoo. He smirked to himself. "Doc is going kill me, but… Sally wait" he called. He rushed forward and kissed her. "Light, we can't Doc will get upset" "I know, but I need you" Lightning said. "Well all right, just this one time, as long as you get up without complaining." Sally said as they headed to her bedroom.
