1. Quick explaining

So let me first say that this is a prequel to What brought me to you. Yes, I know I have unfinished story of Back to you, what's ,meant to be. I apologize and do plan to continue it. But for that story to continue to be as good as it once was, I needed a break from it. As before, sometimes a break helps the story. If you are a reader of that story and lose interest or already have, I do apologize. I can not help it... I began getting back into the What brought me to you story and as i did, I realized I was so involved in Back to you, I needed a refreshment of that OLD MCQUEEN, before he was a nicer and calmer McQueen like in cars 2/3. And I still have to get back to what brought me to you and DELETE a few last chapters and re write Sally or S as most of you call her, meeting Lightning's family. SO to get back into that spirit, I did purchase the origins of Lightning McQueen, also known as Monty McQueen. So I must give credit to the authors of that book and i mean BOOK! That thing is not just a few pages of a back story!

SO credit to them, and this story is based off of and inspired by that and goes straight into the CARS movie and the story following, What brought me to you. I think you guys will enjoy getting to read this story as it has the passion of my writing that the other one I was writing had lost with Cleo and her stupid plans and helps me get the old McQueen vibe back into What brought me to you and continue that story. I don't know when I will return to Back to you story. I just have little passion for it at the moment. But I think this story will make up for it! Sorry to any readers who I have lost.. Hope the reviews stay kind and no fighting. That was a big thing in my other stories for some reason and I don't really see why there is any need for it. I like the disagreement and little.. Debates? You all have, i find them inspiring and entertaining reading what you all thought of the chapters. Anyways, enjoy the story of how Monty McQueen came to be Lightning McQueen!
