To the guest-Ok, so I'll wait for it! I was just asking because I that they were to have a sex night there as they are at the hotel and talking about having sex with other women so I thought they may have sex there, hahaha -
I did think about it but, I wanted Sally to be the complete opposite of Halli, or any other girl Lightning been with. Sally wants to spend time with Lightning doing things besides having sex, she truly loves him. Also Lighting is still recovering from his crash, and can't do 'it' physically with out having to much pain.
Chapter 9.-They're Here!-
"Lightning?" said an unpleasant, familiar voice, Lightning cringed. He turned around slowly to see his mother parked behind him. "Hi, Mom," Lightning said. Skye was painted a pearly blue. She rushed up to Lightning and threw herself upon him, causing a substantial amount of pain. "Oh, Honey!" she said in a overly dramatic voice. "I've been so worried about you. Look who I brought to see you!" Lightning looked around to see Halli, an Lamborghini painted a light pink. Lightning's stomach lurched so bad that he almost vomited. Wished that he could, he knew that it would freak Halli out. It was just as he expected, Skye was trying to get him to fall for her again. "Hi, Lightning" she said in a sweet, girly voice obviously trying to impress him. "Hi Halli" He said in his best I-don't-care-about-you-anymore-so-leave-me-alone voice. He remembered Sally was parked behind him. "Mom, Halli," Lightning said, backing up. "This is my girlfriend, Sally." "Hello, Sally," Skye said in a cool, uncaring voice. Halli simply glared at Sally. "How are you?" Sally asked politely, ignoring the rude greetings. "Was your drive okay?" "Yes," Skye replied curtly. "Lightning, I would like to speak to you in private" she added stiffly. Lightning kissed Sally on the fender. "I'll be back later," he told her. "Okay, Sweetie," Sally said "Have fun. "Will do," Lightning said, knowing Sally caught his hint of sarcasm.
Once Lightning, Skye, and Halli were out of earshot, Skye and Halli spun around to face Lightning "Why on earth are you doing here?" Skye asked "It's dirty and run-down!" "Mom, I love living here," Lightning said simply. "The cars here are grounded and very likeable." "What do you like so much about this Sally girl?" Halli asked angrily. "I'm prettier than she is!" "No, you're not, not even close" Lightning said bluntly. "Sally's smart, funny, has a great personality along with good looks, the best lover that I have had, I couldn't ask for more." "You're out of your mind, having sex with her!" Skye said shrilly, causing passersby to glance in their direction. "Mom, I love Sally," Lightning said angrily. "No matter how hard you and Halli try, I'm not changing my mind and I never will." "You'll see," Halli said. "We can do whatever we want." She took her tire and grabbed his codpiece attempting to rip off. Lighting pulled her tire away. "Don't touch me again" Lightning said angrily. "If you do, I will gladly call the sheriff and press charges." "You won't dare" Halli said. "I would, and I'll call every tabloid in the county and tell them what you did." Lightning said. "Lightning Owen Fergus McQueen, that is enough" Skye said. "You know what," Lightning said, changing the subject. "Why don't you two come with me and I'll show you the town." "What is there to see in this dirty run down town?" Skye asked harshly. "Well," Lightning said, ignoring his mother's rude comment, "There's a racing museum, I could show you my racing headquarters even though it takes me a while to get up there. I could show you the best place to get tires, there's a great diner, and a good place to get a paint job." "Where do you sleep?" Skye asked "Surely you don't sleep outside," she added fearfully. "Of course not," Lightning said. "I sleep in Cozy Cone number one. You two will each get your own Cozy Cone" "Are they nice?" Skye asked an arrogant expression on her face as she eyed the huge caution cones. "You can see the inside of mine if you want to" Lightning offered.
Lightning rolled over to his cone and pressed the petal to open the door. Skye and Halli peered in. It was clean, except that Lightning never made his bed. There were racing newspapers, and some of his cluttered junk around. "Well" Skye said begrudgingly. "It's not as bad as I was expecting it… I see you still can't keep your room clean." "I know" Lightning said blushing a little. "But it's a nice place to live." "Where does Sally live?" Halli asked edgily "There's an apartment under the hotel's office," Lightning said. "She stays there." "Well," Halli said, changing the subject completely. "When you and Sally break up, you know where I am." Lightning spun around angrily, not even noticing the pain it caused his axles. "We're not going to break up, and God forbid if we ever do, I'll never come running to you" he said heatedly. "If that's what you two came for, it's a lost cause and I suggest you leave." "What are you talking about?" Skye asked a falsely innocent look on her face. "You know what I'm talking about," Lightning said angrily. "You've come to get me to break up with Sally, also to get me to quit racing while I'm injured." "What are you talking about?" Halli echoed Skye. Lightning could tell from her face he was right about there intentions. "We just came to visit and make sure you're okay." "Yeah, right" Lightning scoffed. "Because you two always lookout for the wellbeing of other people!" "We're going to check the town out," Skye said, brushing past Lightning. "We'll be back later." Lightning was about to say "good!" but he thought better of it. "Okay. I can't drive much, so you guys go ahead. I'll catch up with you later." "Fine," Skye said shortly. She and Halli drove into the small town and Lightning sighed.
He turned back to the Cozy Cone's office to Sally. "Wow," Sally said once Lightning had reached her. "You were right." "Unfortunately," Lightning said "I used to be like them. That's pretty sad" Sally smiled. "But you're not like them anymore. That means we can fix them too." "Yeah," Lightning said, not completely reassured. "I had to stay; Mom and Halli can leave whenever they want." "And that's a bad thing?" Sally asked "It's a win-win situation. But I don't think they'll leave. Deep down, however deep it is, your mom loves you, you're her only son." "No I'm not," Lightning said "I have a brother." "You do?" Sally asked "Well the point is still valid. She loves you, and sooner or later, hopefully sooner, she'll come around." "I hope you're right" Lightning said. "Have I been wrong before?" Sally asked. "No, not so far," Lightning said, thinking back. "Exactly," Sally said, laughing and she kissed him. "What are the details of your surgery tomorrow?" "I really don't know I have to talk to Doc" Lightning said. "How many open Cozy Cones are there?" "One," Sally said "Well, Mom can have mine and give Halli the extra one. You have my credit card on file, so just charge Halli's cone to it" "Light… I'm not going to…" "Sally please don't argue with me… I can't deal with it right now" Lightning said. Sally could see that Lightning was completely stressed out. "Ok, If that will make you happy" She said, knowing that she'll 'forget' to charge the room to him. "Won't that send a wrong message to Halli?" "No, she doesn't think about those kinds of things. Could one of your maids clean my cone, it's kinda of in a mess," Lightning said. "Stickers, I thought you said that you were going to clean it today" Sally said, "I was, but time got away from me." "Well all right, I'll get one of them to do it. Where are you going to stay tonight?" Sally asked. "Doc will probably want me to stay in the hospital" Lightning said. "Go ahead and see Doc. I'm sure he's expecting you… I love you and I'm sorry about arguing with you." Sally said "I love you too, and I'm sorry that I snapped at you. It's…just not my day" Lightning said as he hugged Sally.
Lightning drove at his customary sluggish pace to Doc's office, where he found Doc working on an engine. "Is that mine?" Lightning asked "Yup," Doc said. "Best racing engine I could find." "Thanks," Lightning said. "So what's happening with my surgery tomorrow?" "You need to stay here tonight," Doc said. "I need to start your medication and everything else to prep you." "How long will I be out after the surgery?" Lightning asked nervously. "You'll be sedated for about a day," Doc said. "I will be using a special kind of anesthesia for the surgery." "Will it hurt? Because quite frankly, I'm tired of being in pain" he asked quietly. "Not too bad," Doc said. "It's not going to be as painful as your titanium replacement was. "I would hope not," Lightning said. Out of all the injuries he had sustained, Lightning thought the titanium replacement had been the worst by far. "I saw your mom and a girl was with her," Doc said conversationally. "Mom's being her's-pain-in-the-ass-self" Lightning said unhappily. "Don't worry, Kid" Doc said. "Your mom will sort herself out eventually." "Yeah, eventually," Lightning said. "Who knows how long that will take?" "Don't worry about it, Rookie. Now I know that it will be hard for you, since you're a bottomless pit, but don't eat anything else for the rest of the day. The anesthesia we're using will make you vomit, if you eat anything more." Doc instructed "Only drink small amounts of water, juice, or ice. No milk, soda, coffee, or energy drinks." "What about ice tea?" Lightning asked. "Or Nitroade or some other sports drink?" "No, the sports drinks are out" Doc said. "You don't like ice tea." "I know, but if it is the only thing I can have, I could choke some down" Lighting said. "Yes you can but, it has to be un-caffeinated and it has to be plain, no sugar, lemon and mint are ok. Flo has some herbal teas; you might want to try them." "I might, what time do I need to be back here so you can start prepping me?" "You have until eight, I'll come and get you when your time is up" Doc said, glancing at the clock on the wall. "Go spend time with your mom and your sister." "She's not my sister," Lightning quickly corrected him. He hesitated before saying, "She's my ex-fiancé" "Oh," Doc said, obviously taken back. "Well, whoever they are, go spend time with them.
Lightning rolled out of the hospital and over to his mother and Halli at Flo's café. "You know," Skye, said thoughtfully when Lightning drove up. "Even though this town is revoltingly dirty, it is rather charming." "I know," Lightning said. "About the second part anyway. When I first got here, I thought everyone living here was crazy, but once I got to know them and the town, I loved it." "I can see why you would choose to live here," Skye said. "Even though it could do with renovations" "It might be an old town but it's a really great place to live," Lightning said passionately. "It's not big and expensive as where you guys are living, obviously, but I kind of like the small group. It suits me I guess. I get enough of the big stuff when I race." "I've never been to a place like this before, I usually avoid them," Skye said. "You get used to it," Lightning said. "My practice track here is even made of dirt." For the next hour, Skye McQueen became slightly more humbled. Halli stayed her egocentric self, and went off on her own.
After discussing how the family was, Lightning's relationship with Sally, and Lightning's racing career, the topic of his wreck came up. "So how are you healing?" Skye asked "When I saw your wreck on television, I nearly died." Lightning smiled "I'm healing okay. My front axle it still fractured, have a lot of splints down there. Obviously I have to get an engine replacement, so that'll take time to heal, and my hood's still bothering me a little, but nothing compared to what it was like a three weeks and a half ago" "So you're just going to keep racing, no matter what?" Skye asked. "Well, yeah," Lightning said. "It's what I do" "You must love it," Skye said. "I do," Lightning said. "I really miss it too "You'll be back in no time" Skye said encouragingly. "Lightning smiled. "Thanks, Mom. Look who's back" Lightning said as Halli came driving up to them. "This place is disgusting, there is an old beat up tow truck out in a field, tractor tipping, and laughing like a madman" Halli said. "That would be my best friend, Mater" Lightning said. "That joke of a tow truck is your best friend?" Halli shrieked "You're a McQueen; it's unacceptable for you to be seen with such a rundown old tow truck." "Halli, shut the fuck up, I'm getting really tired of listening to you whine" Lightning said. "You know the roads are open, you can leave if you don't like it here." "That's enough both of you. Halli, just stand there and be quiet" Skye said. "Lightning, I know you're a racecar, but do have curse like that."
"Sorry… Mom, why didn't you race in the Grand Prix Circuit? You have the pedigree for it; all you had to do was train." Lightning said "I was afraid I'd get hurt, and my paint would get scratched" Skye sighed. "In Grand Prix racing, there are a lot of sharp turns, and cars flip all the time. It's very unpredictable." "Oh," Lightning said "Is that why you didn't want me racing?" "Partly, yes," Skye said. "Another part was jealousy. I'd wanted to race, but I had been too scared, and then there you were. You were bold and ready to get on the track without a second thought." "I'm sorry, Mom," Lightning said. "There's no need to be" Skye said. "It's my problem and I made it yours." "Oh," Lightning said, not sure what to say. Just then, Doc drove up. "Mom, Halli," Lightning said, "This is Doc, my crew chief and doctor." "It's nice to meet you," Skye said sociably. "Lightning's told us all about you." Halli was pouting, and she said nothing. "Likewise" Doc said. "It's good to meet you too." He then turned to Lightning. "You ready to go Rookie? It's 7:30" "Yeah" Lightning said. "Mom, I'll see you when I wake up." "Good luck, Honey," Skye said. "Nice to meet you," Doc said, turning around.
