Maybelline Hudson: Heir To A Racing Legacy Chapter 1

Maybelline is inside her father's garage again. In fact, that's where a lot of people in Radiator Springs seem to be finding her lately since her return from college in San Francisco after graduating from medical school. Maybelline has joined her father back home to act as his nurse. You see her father is Doc Hudson the only doctor and judge inhabiting Radiator Springs. But that's not the only name he goes by. When he was a lot younger than he is now he was known to all as the Hudson Hornet. One of the biggest racing stars in the entire world. That is not an exaggeration. He was the best racer of his generation.

That is until a horrible accident put him out of commission for a serious length of time. When he finally got put back together no one wanted to sign him again. A new generation has taken over. There was a lot left in him, but no one ever gave him a chance to show them. In the long run, he saw no other choice, but to quit his lifelong dream after being rejected by so many in the business he loved so much.

It broke his heart.

Doc Hudson got so depressed that he completely dropped off the face of the earth and left the racing circuit for good. He went to university and got his medical degree to become a doctor. He turned his life around. That's where Doc Hudson met Maybelline's mother, Gloria. The two of them met by chance while in the big city. Gloria never was a student, she was employed at the university as a secretary. The two had a relationship for a year and then got married.

The two of them found Radiator Springs and settled there. The whole time Doc Hudson and Gloria were together she knew the entire time what his past was. He never kept it from her, but he swore that part of his life was over for good. She tried to convince him a couple of times to go back, maybe not as a racer but as a crew chief to the next generation. But Doc Hudson put his foot down and the matter was settled, the bitterness of the injustice that happened to him still far too fresh.

The couple had Maybelline quite late in their marriage, both in their elder years by then. The three of them should've been happy, but things are not all they seem to be.

For years Gloria pretended to be content in the small deserted town of Radiator Springs, but she despised it there while Doc Hudson and Maybelline loved it. The country never really suited Gloria all too well especially since they live out in the middle of nowhere with less than twenty people in one town.

Gloria reached her breaking point when Maybelline was only a toddler. One day she was there and the next she was gone without any form of explanation. Doc Hudson had his suspicions about how Gloria was feeling for some time but never acted on them.

Gloria abandoned them and she never came back.

Not that it really mattered to father and daughter. They did just fine on their own.

But like all families they did have their problems.

Like the fact, Maybelline has always wanted to be a racer just like her father after one day when she accidentally found his old racing stuff. She saw his old videos and was in awe at how he tore through those tracks a living legend in racing history. From that day forward Maybelline practiced her racing wherever and whenever she could on the dirt track in town. Doc Hudson did everything he possibly could think of to discourage her after catching her sneaking around like this. Forbidding her from even considering going down that path. When Maybelline was a kid growing up she had no choice, but to obey his word.

But Doc Hudson couldn't control everything she did while at college. Under the record, Maybelline took part in street races to practice and hone her natural racing talents. Maybelline raced against the best in the underground racing circuits until she became one of the top contenders. Maybelline never once hinted at what she was up to in fear of her father doing something to put an end to her passion. In the end, Maybelline ended up to a point where she won almost 90% of her races. Pretty good if you'd ask Maybelline about that.

Here in Radiator Springs, there are only dreams.

Maybelline shut off the video she was watching and headed over to her own home. Here she dug out for racing tires she'd carefully hidden where she knew her dad would never find them. Putting them on Maybelline went straight down to the dirt track avoiding meeting anyone on the way.

Maybelline isn't worried her father will show up. He's away getting medical supplies for his practice.

Maybelline books it on the dirt track pushing her limits to full capacity not holding anything back.

Maybelline loves her father very much and appreciates that the man is only trying to protect her, but Doc Hudson is smothering her.

Racing is what Maybelline loves doing. When she's doing it Maybelline feels…home.

As she's going Maybelline sings from the heart what she's kept contained inside for so long.

Maybelline skids on her tires the exact way she's seen her father do on those old videos in the dirt. In this, no one could ever doubt her parentage.

One way or another Maybelline is going to suck it up and confront her father and tell him the truth.

Maybelline just needs to find a way to do so that won't hurt him. That would tear her up inside.

Authors Note:

I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.

So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.

I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
