The couple arrived at Uncle Topolino's. Luigi ran over and was excited to see the couple. "How was the private flight?" The Italian asked. Sally answered with, "It was just wonderful. Um... For the most part." Luigi took one of Sally's hands and one of Lightning's and pulled them inside. "Come, come. You must meet the family." Luige guided his friends to his Uncle and Aunt. "Uncle Topolino, this is the race car driver I told you about." The older Italian woman then said, "Sembre molto forte per un americano." Luigi smiled. Uncle Topolino then shook Lightning's hand and said "It is a pleasure to have you stay with us Signore Lightning." Lightning replied, "The pleasure is all mine. You have a beautiful home Uncle Topolino Sir." Then the woman said "Cosi gentile. E chi e la ragazza, Luige?" Luigi's eyes widened a moment then pointed to Sally saying "This is Sally Carrera. She is Lightning's girlfriend." "Una cosa cosi piccola. Faro pasto che lei non puo rifiutare e le metto un po di carne sulle ossa. lei e molto bella Mister Lightning." Then she walked away. Sally asked, "Where is she going?" Uncle Topolino smiled. "To make dinner. I apologize. My wife, Sophia, she never learns the English language." Lightning was quick to assure the man it was fine. The older Italian chuckled and admitted "When Luige and Guido told me that they worked for a race car driver, I was not surprised. I knew they loved the racing and that they would find work with what they loved. I did think it would be something closer to home like"-"Formula one?" Questioned Lightning.
The man chuckled. "Exactly! But They have told me your stories and I know that you take care of our boys." Lightning sort of smiled. Uncle Topolino continued with "Drivers like... Uh, Francesco Bernoulli, for example. They go through so many crew members a year. firing those which they argue with too easily. The drivers want to control everything." Lightning laughed awkwardly. He, himself was like that not too long ago... Not too long ago at all to Leon. Uncle Topolino smiled warmly and said "Anyways, welcome to our home Seignore Lightning and Signorina Sally. Make yourselves at home." Before walking off into the house. Sally leaned her head on Lightning's shoulder. Both watching as people danced around them to the Italian style band playing. The team was having a nice time, enjoying the trip, but.. Lightning just felt so bad about everything. Especially how he treated Mater and how Mater wouldn't answer him...
Lightning held the phone to his ear as he desperately tried reaching Mater again... But it went to voice-mail. "Hey, Mater.. It's Lightning.. I just.. I really want you to know I'm sorry about how I treated you. I'm worried Bud. Haven't heard from you.. . Italy is.. Nice. who am I kidding, it's beautiful. Could have had some real fun touring the country with you buddy... Think this place is perfect?... (sigh) I'll call again later." Lightning hung up and just felt so depressed about the situation. He was a bad friend. Uncle Toppling suddenly appeared and began, "Hey, racer.. You look so down, so low." then the man's wife appeared and said something in Italian. Uncle Topolino translated, "She say she gonna make a big meal, and fatten you up." before Lightning could really say no, she had walked into the home. Lightning sighed. Uncle Topolino happily soothed the racer. "I understand there is a problem. between you, and a friend." Lightning's eyes widened. "Actually yea, how did you know that?" he asked. "A wise man hears one word, but understands two. That and Luigi told me." Lightning smiled. He had good friends behind him. Uncle Topolino then took Lightning aside for some friendly advise..
That night, the team members all slept in the cottage-like guest house of the Topolino family. Well except for Guido and Luigi. They slept in the main house in their old bedroom. The team, including Sally, slept in one large room on bunk beds. Filmore on top bunk and Lightning on the lower of his, Sarge on the other top bunk with Sally beneath it. Sarge snored quite loudly. Lightning tossed a bit and turned. He glanced across the room at Sally. "PPsst. You asleep?.." he whispered loudly. Sally rubbed her eyes then rolled over, facing Lightning's side of the room. "Sort of.." She quietly answered. Lightning sighed then admitted, "I can't sleep.." "You need to try," Sally warned. Lightning leaned back. Laying there in bed a moment, looking over at Sally, and continued their loud whispering conversation. "I still couldn't get ahold of Mater.." "So that's what this is about?" She asked. Lightning shrugged in the darkroom. "Sort of. I mean.. He should have tried calling back by now, right?" "I don't know Lightning. It's not like Mater would always pick up the phone anyway. I'm sure he's fine." "You're probably right.." Lightning whispered. Sally repositioned herself in bed then said "Now try to get some sleep. You have a long day tomorrow." Lightning sighed.
It fell quiet again then he repeated "I can't sleep." "Ugh.. Lightning." Sally scolded quietly as they tried not to wake Filmore or Sarge. "Try." She ordered. "No, I mean.. I can't sleep alone knowing you are right there." "Are you for real?" "Yes." Sally tried not to laugh then quietly got out of her bunk and tiptoed over to Lightning's. Even though the beds were small, she managed to cozy up next to him in the bunk. "Better?" She whispered as she nestled in against his body. Lightning held her close and smiled. "Very." Sally rolled her eyes and joked. "You're so needy." Lightning kissed his girl's cheek as she pushed her ass against his front side. "Stop wiggling." He scolded. Sally defended "I can't help it. The bed is too small for two people. I feel like I'm going to fall out of it." "Well then prepared to feel something poking you." "Why are you such a guy?" Sally snapped in a loud whisper. Lightning shrugged, answering "Why are you such a woman? You don't want to wake it, don't shove your ass up on my dick." Suddenly Sarge loudly whispered. "For Chrysler's sake, if this is what the two of you will be doing every night, just get your place!"
Sally covered her head with the blanket as she became so red of embarrassment. Lightning loudly apologized. "Sorry.. We'll be quiet.." Sarge grunted a bit then turned over in his sleep so he wouldn't have to see them. Lightning tried to laugh, kissing Sally behind the earthen whispering "Not such a bad idea.. To get our place while we're here.. It would be kind of hard to fuck you like this." He teased into her ear. Knowing his breath sent shivers down Sally's spine, which made her wriggle against him, which only made parts of him firmer. Sally sighed then agreed. "That's true. And I do want you to fuck me." "Oh really?" Lightning asked in a higher pitch. Indicating what he was thinking about now. He thrust his pelvis up into her ass. Sally could feel his growing member against her. It turned her on.
"Mmhmm." Sally moaned quietly near his face. Lightning playfully teased "I kind of would like to do it here, right now." "Now? Seriously?" Sally snapped in her loud whisper. They both looked up as they heard Filmore snore loudly for a moment. Lightning then thrust himself against her ass again. Sally bit her lips. He was playing dirty. Knowing they couldn't right now. "Stop it. It's a bad idea." Sally warned. Lightning kissed behind her ear, replying, "Only if you get too loud." He kissed her neck then placed his hand over her mouth carefully, thrusting his pelvis into her ass a little more, over and over. "You know you want it." He whispered. Sally felt goosebumps arise down her back. He was making her wet. He then rubbed his hand over her hip and down the front of her tummy, down to her are and rubbed his fingers over there gently. Kissing the back of her neck. Sucking at her skin and nibbling gently at the lobe of her ear. Sally began to breathe more heavily. Lightning rolled over the top of her. Pressing his hard member between them and kissing her lips now. Pushing his tongue in and prying her mouth open quietly. The couple made out. Sally grabbing Lightning's face as their lips quietly smacked together.
Suddenly a thud next to them made Lightning jump a bit. They looked over to see a pillow on the floor next to them and Sarge growled "Go to sleep! Actual sleep!" Before angrily turning over to try and get some sleep himself. Sally covered her mouth and tried not to laugh. Lightning quietly apologized again. "Sorry.." the couple gazed into each other's eyes. Lightning kissed Sally's lips once more but then Sally reached between them and into his pants, she grabbed his member and began to play with it gently. Running it and stroking it up and down. Lightning breathed deeper in and out as she did. Trying to keep quiet. She lifts her hand back up just to her lips to lock it well, spitting quietly into it before reaching below and stroking his member again as he lay over her. Lightning lay his head onto her shoulder, his back arched as Sally stroked his member. Making him closer and closer to cumming. Lightning lifted his face and began kissing her again quietly. Making out as she continued the most amazing massage ever. He could feel himself getting closer. Sally moved to the tip. Stroking just the head of his meat. Making Lightning shiver and fight to keep quiet. Sally loved it. She loved doing this to him. Lightning pulled from her lips to breathe. Barely able to contain himself. Sally quietly shushed him as his member became more firm. Lightning held his breath when he suddenly felt the rolling over of his insides! Sweet release as he spurted multiple times into her hand!
Sally tried to hold it all in her palm, but it was rather difficult. She used her other hand to place on the back of his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. Lightning kissed her hard. Pressing down into her velvet lips as he finished his pleasurable spasms. Sally pulled her hand out as Lightning took a breath or two and she asked "What am I suppose to do with this?!" In a loud whisper. Lightning stared at her hand then her and placed a finger on her lips, answering, "Destroy the evidence." Sally made a weird face so Lightning added "It's that or wipe it on the sheets." Sally glared up at him then asked "What do you want me to do?" Lightning smiled wickedly. "I want you to swallow it." Sally sighed then replied, "You're going to enjoy this, aren't you?" "Yes. I can pretend not to if you'd like?" He smiled wickedly. Sally huffed a bit then glanced at her hand. It was starting to leak from the cracks between her fingers. Lightning seductively said "Swallow it for me, baby.. Come on." Why was he such a freak?! She wondered.
Then she placed her hand to her lips and licked between the cracks first. Salty and bitter flavor touched her tongue. Lightning watched with such pleasure. Sally then opened her hand and let it fall into her mouth, running down her palm, she licked her hand clean with a bit of a sour face. Lightning stared with shock. He didn't think she'd do it. She swallowed loudly beneath him. Looking as if she were about to gag. Lightning leaned into her ear and whispered "Good girl.. You should do that more often and I'll reward you for it." Before rolling over next to her. He began to touch her between her legs again when she pushed his hand away completely and rolled over. Lightning immediately asked "What's wrong? Don't you want your turn?" Sally made herself comfortable next to him before answering "I want to sleep. We can get a room and do more later." Lightning was confused. "Are you mad at me?" He asked. "Go to sleep Lightning." "You sound mad." Sally suddenly snapped at him in her regular voice "Go to sleep!" Sarge immediately snapped "Would you two shut up!" Fillmore then followed with "Respect the feelings of the heart man. Let them get it out. It's not cool to go to bed angry." Sally then shouted "Sorry! We're going to sleep now!" Lightning then asked, "But are you mad?" Sally suddenly got up and walked to the other bed and made herself comfortable. "Sal.. Sally.." Lightning sighed. Yeah, she was mad. He shouldn't have convinced her to do that. He knew she didn't like it or his flavor. Instead of poking about it, he let her sleep and rolled over to go to sleep himself...
The team began setting up their pits. Lightning looked over them and made sure that they were well placed and organized. Sally walked up next to him and asked "Are you going to practice?" Lightning nodded, "Yeah. Just as soon as the team is all set up and I check over the Bolt. I want to make sure she didn't get damaged during shipment." Lightning took his girl's hands and smiled. "I got us a place for the next couple of nights." "Great, Stickers. Might be a little more comfortable being alone together." "Yeah, for sure. I can't wait to get you alone tonight." He growled in a sexy way, softly. Sarge rolled his eyes as he placed a box down on the ground. "Didn't get enough last night?" The man asked. Sally blushed, looking away. That was adorable, thought Lightning. "Sorry about that." He apologized again. Sarge just glared a moment more before going and unpacking that box. Lightning walked over to the Bolt and opened the hood. Sally walked over and watched Lightning check all the normal things first, then he reached inside and took out his helmet when "Buon Giorno McQueen!"
"Francesco.." Lightning growled as he turned around. Sally's eyes lit up. Francesco was in just some normal clothes. By normal, formal. He liked to dress in the button up type. "Aren't you practicing?" Sally asked. Francesco shook his head, answering, "No. Francesco has grown up on the track, remember?" Sally blushed! "Oh right.. I.. I forgot.." She admitted. Lightning rolled his eyes. Francesco wrapped an arm around his competitor and began "Francesco wanted to see you off on your practice run McQueen. Give you a few pointers, no?" Lightning glared at the Italian. "Thanks, but I'm good. I know how to race and run my car." "Of course! But this track is dangerous. More so than that one of Japan. There are many hairpins and back and forth turns." "Great, thanks.." "Right turns. You can turn right still, Si?" Lightning shoved Francesco away and snarled, "Yes, I can turn right!" Francesco snickered with a smile. Then suddenly he glanced down at the growing puddle of gasoline. "Oh.. Now that is much unfortunate.." He growled. Seeing that his new shoes were ruined.
LIghtning's eyes widened! The Bolt was leaking fuel!? Lightning turned to his team and snapped "What is this!?" They all stared all wide-eyed. "Get over here and patch this up, please." He asked. Luigi and Guido ran over rather quickly while Sarge grabbed the jack. Francesco chuckled. "Seems you may be here for a while." He announced. Sally sighed. She was looking forward to a tour of Italy. Lightning noticed. Francesco noticed and made his move. He went and wrapped an arm around Sally, pulling her close. "Why don't Francesco take Miss Sally on a tour still while you fix your car and practice McQueen?" Lightning's eyes widened. "What?" Francesco nodded, "Francesco will look after her as his own McQueen. After all, she shouldn't have to just sit in wait for your work to end. Let her enjoy Italy!" He exclaimed. Lightning stared at Sally. He knew she wanted to. Francesco looked down into Sally's eyes and asked "Would you like this, Miss Sally?" Sally's eyes sparkled with want. She nodded, "Yea! I.. Oh. But.. Lightning?" She began to question. Lightning sighed then glanced at the Bolt. They were going to be here all day between setup, repairs, testing, and practicing. "I.." He began then looked at his girl. "I.. Guess I will be here all day really.." Sally cocked her head to the side a little then asked "Is it okay? If not, that's fine. I want you to be comfortable."
Francesco snickered hearing that. "Is McQueen not comfortable with Francesco? Surely you can let Miss Sally enjoy Italy from more than behind the pit walls, no?" The man asked. Lightning's brows lowered. "Sally is my world. I worry about her." He explained. Sally thought that was sweet. Lightning sighed and close his eyes as he said "I guess it would be okay.. But NO funny business Francesco!" He warned, pointing to the formula one racer. Francesco laughed! "No, no McQueen! You can trust Francesco. His word is his life." "Mmhm," Lightning growled. He just wasn't sure still. Sally jumped to Lightning and hugged him tightly. "Thanks so much, Stickers!" Lightning hugged his girl and kissed her head. He then reached into his pocket and handed her a room key. "Here." Giving her the address card. "I'll be waiting for you. I'll even have dinner prepared." "Great! Thanks, Stickers. See you later!" Sally called as she ran off with Francesco. Lightning sighed and watched them disappear. He trusted Sally. He knew she would never do anything, but Francesco? He trusted Sally. He trusted Sally...
So Francesco took Sally on a tour of Porto Corsa Italy! (Corso? Corsa?) Taking her on the canoe rides, only there, they are called gondola cars. Took her to see the towers, the historic buildings, the wall of Juliett, the theater where they watched a little of the Italian opera, a cafe for some authentic risotto, then on a walk through his home streets. Francesco walked next to Sally and bragged "This is where Francesco grew up playing football." The street looked poor though. Covered in stone grounds, stone walls. Each home was the same color and there was barely any greenery. Most of the homes had rags or blankets hanging on the outside of the homes. "It's so different. I did not expect the great Francesco Bernoulli to grow up like this," she admitted. Francesco snickered with a smile. "Si. Most women do not." Suddenly a young boy ran up and asked "Signor Francesco!"
Sally and Francesco stopped as the boy ran up. The young Italian boy had to be around eight years of age and had a soccer ball in hand. "Sei venuto a giocare?" he asked. Sally stared at Francesco. She didn't understand the language, so just listened. Francesco chuckled then knelt down and brushed the boy's hair with his hand, straightening it up before replying, "Francesco e impegnato in questo momento, Pier. Sto mostrando questa bella donna in grio." The boy glanced at Sally then asked "E Americana?" Francesco nodded then stood back up. Sally had to ask "What's he saying?" Francesco smiled, answering "Oh. He was asking if Francesco would like to play." "Awe.. That is adorable." Sally melted for it. A man that was good with kids that some boy asked to play. Francesco proudly bragged "Si, Francesco comes out here to teach kids how to play football and he enjoys it. One day, Francesco hopes to meet a woman who wants kids as much as he does." Sally only melted more. Francesco took her hand in his and said goodbye to Pier before continuing the tour of his home...
It was sunset. Francesco and Sally sat on a pier, staring out the water and beautiful sky full of magnificent colors. Sally leaned on Francesco's shoulder. "Wow.." She gasped quietly. Francesco smiled then leaned his head over hers. "It is beautiful, no?" He asked. Sally smiled, "No, it's more than beautiful. Boy, we never get views like this in Radiator Springs." She admitted. Francesco placed his hand on her knee. Both enjoying the sunset. Francesco lifted his head then looked at Sally and pulled her face to meet his. Gazing into her eyes. "It is not near as beautiful as you, Miss Sally." He complimented. "In all Francesco's travels, he has never met such a unique specimen such as yourself." Sally blushed and giggled. "Why thank you." She replied.
Francesco caressed her face, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Plu luminosi del sole, occhi scintillanti, come stelle e un sorriso che potrebbe calmare la tempesta." He said in such a sexy way. It made Sally melt so much for him. "What does that mean?" She asked softly. Francesco happily translated, "It means, brighter than the sun, sparkling star-like eyes and a smile that might calm the storm. This is you." "Oh wow. I love when you talk.." She said then realized how stupid that sounded! "I mean when you speak Italian! I mean your language!-Your accent! I mean"-Suddenly, Francesco kissed her! Shutting her up. Oh, how Sally melted for him. His lips were soft and the hairs of his face gently scratched her chin. He smelled like musk. A sexy musk. Sally closed her eyes and felt his mouth open, his tongue parted her lips further. They began making out softly and gently. Between her legs tingled with lust and excitement! Francesco held her chin gently in his palm as her tongue began to roll around with his. The dance was so well played. Rolling around and Francesco was so gentle. His scent only made her more and more in need of him. She felt his hand on her hip. Sally breathed heavily, Francesco pulled away slightly, kissing the sides of her face then her outer lips line.
"Ohh, Francesco.." She moaned quietly. Francesco kissed her neck, breathing in her perfume. He then caressed up her side and to her chest, he gently grabbed her left breast. He squeezed gently, making Sally wet! Francesco smiled seductively and pulled away to gaze at her face. Sally opened her eyes. She was stunning! Francesco went in for another kiss when Sally leaned back and away. "Oh, Chrysler. Lightning." She muttered nervously. Francesco's brows lowered. Sally quickly stood up and straightened up herself. "I.. I shouldn't be here. I.. I am so sorry I.. I.. I have to go." She said as she ran to the streets! Francesco quickly followed, calling her name! "Miss Sally! Sally, wait!" Sally grabbed a bike ride taxi. Francesco stopped her and asked, "Is Francesco not better?" Sally blushed and explained "I'm with-I'm okay, I'm happy. I shouldn't have even come with you. I'm sorry I.. Whatever that was. I have to go!" She then showed the driver the motel address, he noded and Sally was off in a hurry! Contemplating what had just happened!...
Sally rushed up to the door as the man on the bike began shouting, "Hey! Hai dimenticato di pagare! Nessun giro gratis!" Sally stopped and ran back when she realized she forgot to pay him. "There. Is that enough?" She asked. The man stared at the money in his hand and nodded once saying "Sì, wow. Stupida puttana." Then peddled off. Sally rushed to the motel and their room number. She grabbed her key out, but the door opened before she even touched it. Lightning glared down at her in anger. Sally's eyes teared up. She kissed Francesco! She made out with someone else! She cheated. Sally cheated. Sally jumped inside and hugged Lightning tightly and apologized "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" Lightning was furious, but the way she was acting worried him. He shut the door and brushed her hair with his hand, asking, "What happened? What's wrong? Did he touch you!?" He snapped! Sally looked up at her boyfriend and answered, "No! Nothing like that happened!" She assured. But.. Now she wondered how to tell him. Or maybe not too. Lightning was confused and worried. "So what's wrong? Why were you so late?!" His tone rang fury!
Sally tugged at his shirt as she answered, "I'm sorry I was late. We lost track of time at the peer and"-"Why were you at the peer?" "Lightning, I.. We.." She froze in panic. Her face turned pale. Lightning knew that something was wrong. He grabbed Sally's shirt collar and forced her face to his. "What happened?" He growled. sally swallowed nervously. He was scaring her. "L-L-Lightning.." She stuttered. He smelled of cigars. Lightning let her go and stepped back. Sally straightened up her shirt then asked "Why do you smell like cigars?" "Because I've been stressed out! Worrying about you!" "You were smoking?" She asked. Lightning sighed. Trying to figure out what had happened. Why his girl was so late. "Stickers, I'm sorry." Sally apologized again. Lightning nodded then asked "So, did anything happen between you and Francesco?" sally stared at him. She could be honest and tell her love the truth or she could hide it and lie.
Lightning hated even asking because he sort of felt like asking her was betraying her some. "I'm sorry, I just.. Tell me that nothing happened. That I worried and stressed about nothing.. Please." He begged. "I promise I'll believe you. If you say nothing happened, nothing happened." He added. Sally swallowed nervously before nodding and saying, "Nothing happened.. You.. You worried and stressed about nothing Stickers.." She chose to lie. Believing that it was truly better that Lightning never know of what she had done. Besides, it's not like she slept with Francesco. She just got all caught up in his dreamy eyes and confidence and his Italian accent. In the end, Sally loved and wanted to be with Lightning. Lightning smiled and hugged his girl. "I'm sorry I doubted you." He said. Holding his woman tightly in his arms. Sally hugged him back, but she felt horrible about the lie. Especially after how she reacted to him just having dinner with Josie. She rubbed his back with her palm gently and whispered. "It's okay.. We all.. Make mistakes.."...
Lightning held position. keeping the Italian champion right behind him for most of the race! nearing the finish line, Francesco pulled side of him.. Neck and neck as they reached the finish line, but with no clue what had happened behind them!!!!
Lightning jumped out of his race car as Francesco pulled off his helmet and climbed out of his.. "Yeah!" Lightning exclaimed! "Now that's what I'm talking about! KACHOW!" It seemed the two might just fight right there on the track with the angry eyes Francesco had! Francesco even pointed a finger in Lightning's face, but before he could get a word in, several ambulances rushed out on the track. Lightning and Francesco looked up at the big screen to see most of the racera in a huge accident! "What's going on?.." asked Lightning. He couldn't believe the horror he saw. So much smoke.. So much fuel.. So many drivers being walked or carried to an ambulance. Francesco continued to stare at the screen in awe as Lightning thought of Sally! He rushed off the track, out to his pits where his team was! Luigi spotted Lightning and asked, "Are you okay?" Lightning nodded. Sally ran, jumped, and hugged her love. Worried about him.
That was a lot of racers out there that crashed. It was almost.. Too odTooTheb the announcement was made. The cars flamed out. the vehicles faulted. blew up.. engine malfunctioning. The racers began blaming the fuel as they trusted their cars. But Lightning was unsure. he turned to Filmore and asked, "Hey, Filmore, can I talk to you for a moment?" Fillmore walked up answering, "Sure McQueen. Lightning sighed and asked "What do you think about this fuel? Is it safe?" Filmore smiled, answering "Oh for sure man. Allinol is better for your engine than that gunky, old stuff man." "Are you sure? Because that was a lot of accidents out there today. If it's the fuel, I "-"Hey, don't sweat it, man. I'd never lie to you." Assured Filmore. Lightning nodded. He did trust his team. And after how he treated Mater before, Lightning was going to be more careful and more trustful of his friends. "Okay. Okay, yeah. Thanks, Filmore." Replied Lightning. Sarge snickered and rolled his eyes. He just didn't have as much faith in the fuel as Filmore here...
Lightning smiled and nodded for the camera. one man announced and asked "They're letting you choose your fuel for the final race, what will it be?" Lightning inhaled bravely before answering, "Allinol. My friend Filmore says the fuel is safe, that's good enough for me. I didn't stand by a friend of mine recently... I won't make that mistake again.." Reported continued to bombard McQueen with Questions, but then the strangest thing. "Mcqueen!" called a voice. it caught Lightning's attention because "Mater? Th-that really sounded like.. Mater?!" he called as he could have sworn he saw his best friend! "McQueen! They are gonna kill you!" Mater shouted. Lightning weaved through the crowd and made it to who he thought was Mater and "Wait, what?.." The old German answered, "That was me, I said you killed out there today." Lightning became very disappointed. "Oh.. I mean.. Thank you." The racer turned around and began to walk off when the man muttered something about being finished. Lightning glanced back, but reporters pushed him to follow them instead...
Lightning was taken to an interview. Sally began to follow but was suspicious of what she heard. She also thought that she had heard Mater. But Mater wasn't here. He was back home in Radiator Springs. So she walked away and caught up with her boyfriend...
After the last of the interviews, Lightning walked up to Sally and took her hands in his. "Hey." He greeted. Sally smiled back. "Hey." She replied. Lightning sighed then asked, "Would you like to go to dinner tonight?" "Of course. You're not mad about last night?" She asked nervously. Lightning shook his head and answered. "No, not at all. I may have been a little at the time, but I love you. And if you say nothing happened, nothing happened." Sally's smile faded a little, but she managed to fake it enough that Lightning didn't think anything about it. Suddenly, the couple was approached by Francesco. Sally discreetly hid behind Lighting as the Italian spoke to him. "They are taking the other racers to the hospital." "Good." Lightning said, crossing his arms. Francesconoticed Sally hiding behind her boyfriend. he found it odd and cute. "Miss Sally?" he questioned. Sally blushed and stepped out, next to Lightning. Francesco stared at her and asked, "Are you alright?" Sally nodded, no words. Lightning then asked, "How's it feel to be second?"
Francesco laughed! "Oh please McQueen! It is only a minor set back. Francesco let you win to give the audience and fans some fun, eh?" "Oh sure, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night Francesco." Lightning then took Sally's hand and began to walk away with a sly smile when Francesco stopped him and asked "Woah-wait. What. Is. That?' Pointing to the back of Lighting's suit near the shoulders. Lightning turned around with a wicked smile and said Oh, just a little something I had made up for the occasion." Francesco snickered, replying, "It is funny. Francesco did it first but it still is funny.. What are you going to do next? Race open-wheeled race cars? You should try it, you will like it McQueen." Lightning rolled his eyes. A few reporters then ran up and asked the two racers if they could get a photo of the two together. Francesco was quick to answer, "Of course! Please do!" Francesco pulled Sally close to him with Lighting next to her. The two masculine racers scrunching her between them. Sally blushed, smiling awkwardly. Lightning could never know. He would lose his mind and become more than just furious!...
