Chapter 13-( wow
i didn’t plan on this to happen ! )- Trouble on Turn 3
Angie’s fever left as fast as it came . Buy
tuesday she was better than ever and couldn’t wait for the next race . She practiced and practiced and practiced
. Even when Doc told her to stop she still practiced . She wanted to be better than ever , and get that college
money .
Then came Sunday , the day of the race . Angie was ready , and so was Chick .
" Hey
Bolts , get over here ! " , he yelled sternly to the rookie .
" Yeah Chick ? " , asked
Bolts . He was afraid of what Chick had .It was a small blue box with an antenna on it . " What in the
world is that ? "
" It’s one of those new devices . You put it on and it forces your bottom to
move as if it was pouring rain . I need you to get this on Angie . "
“How?”
"
She’s your stinkin’ girlfriend ! You have total permission to touch her bumper stupid ! Just drive up behind
her and pretend your giving her a good luck tap . "
Bolts gave him a weird look . He didn’t know
he’d have to do this . There was no way they could even be acquantinces after this now .
So he did what
he was told . Angie jumped when she felt it . When she saw it was Bolts she smiled and Doc gave him a glare
which startled Bolts .
" Good Luck Angie " said Bolts and tried to quickly drive away . But
Angie caught him before he could and gave him a quick kiss on the cheeck .
" Good Luck to you too
" she said with a smile then blushed because she noticed it was on the screen .
Mr. and mrs.The
King were in the stands .
" I’m surprised , " said Mrs.The King " that your not going
down their to talk to that young boy . "
" Well dear , " said The King , " sometimes
you just gotta let them grow up , even if it’s hard . "
The race started . Turn by turn the
racers went , first Angie in the lead , then Chick , then Lightning followed right behind Bolts and Angie . 50
laps left , and Chick decided it was time.
" Press the button , " he said evily to his crew
chief .
As he was told , the crew chief pressed the big red button ( i had to make it red . a button’s
not a button without it being big and red ). Right then , Angie’s back started to move back and forth .
" Angie , get control of yourself , " said Doc in is headset .
" Funny thing Doc ,
i can’t . "
" What do u mean you can’t ? "
" It’s weird , " she said
" it’s like the tracks all wet , but it’s not " . Right then she got hit . bad .
"
Trouble on turn 3 ! " said Bob .
Then , all of the cars got into a jumble . Crash crash crash ! they
all got hit .
Lightning , of course was staying out of the wreck . He glanced at the screen .
"Wow that’s bad . Doc , is Angie o- " then a crash .
" OH my god , Stickers !
" shouted Sally , soon being consoled by Flo .
" Lightning! " , shouted the twins from the
stands not really faking anymore .
" Mcqueen , Ange , can you hear me ? I repeat , can you hear me
? Honk once if yes , twice if no " said Doc .
" That was pretty dumb " said Sarge .
" Not really " replied Doc " they would have laughed if they heard it . "
Doc
looked around . There was a pile of cars . That’s where they were . He couldn’t see them . They were at the
bottom of the pile . Then he heard a voice . It sounded weak .
" That was the lamest joke i ever
heard . "
" Lightning ! Where are you ? "
" Where do u think I am ? I’m at the
bottom of the pile hearing everybody’ whins and moans . "
" Can you see Angie ? "
" No , i can’t . She was in the crash ? "
" She started it pretty much . She lost
control . " Then static , and then nothing .
He glanced at the pile . The tow trucks were doing a
slow job .
" Mater , " Doc shouted " go find them . "
" Okie dokie Doc ,
" said Mater , put on a headset , and drove as quickly as possible to the wreck . About five minutes later
, he found Lightning , and towed him to the pits .
" Lightning are you o.k ? " asked Sally .
" I was so worried . " Then he gave him a kiss on the cheeck . Lightning looked happy , but then his
smile left . " What’s wrong ? " she asked .
" You shouldn’t have done that , " he
said , eyes as wide as possible .
" Why not ? "
" Because now we have 30 cameras
on us . "
Sally’s face was emotionless . " oops "
The poparazzi tried to
race to the scene , but the security guards backed them off , protecting the now exposed couple .
"
Uh , doc " doc heard in his headset , " i found Angie . But it doesn’t look good . "
" Why is that Mater ? " questioned Doc .
" She’s unconcious ."
Doc
looked at Mater with the plymoth superbird on his cable . He wished he hadn’t . She looked horrible bad as Doc
did when he got hit . He rushed to the scene with his heart racing .
The King raced down there too .
" I’m sorry sir , you can’t go down there , " a security guard said .
" That’s
my daughter out there on that track now let me go ! " he shouted . Nobody , not even Mrs. The King , had
ever seen him like this .
" Oh , i’m sorry The King , i didn’t notice you without the stickers .
Mater by then had gotten Angie to the pits . Doc surveyed the damage .
" I can’t fix this .
Not here . She needs to get cared for right . Those idiots will just mess her up even more .
Angie
moaned . They all turned . Angie blinked for a bit , and then her eyes stayed open .
" Wha-What
happened ? " she asked .
" You lost control of your back tires . And then you crashed , "
answered sally .
" WHo else was in the crash ? " asked Angie , now more alert . " Is
lightning ok ? "
" I’m fine , " answered Lightning . He was pretty beat up hmself
.
" You are not fine ," answered Sally sternly .
" And neither are you , " The
King told Angie .
" Your not gonna get fixed up here" said Doc . " We’re taking you to a
hospital . "
" What ?! " said Angie , " you can’t fix me here ? "
" No , you’re too beat up . You need real care . Not a cheap 5 minute fix up done by those guys .
"
Now Angie was scared . More scared than she ever was in her life . She may have wanted to be a
doctor , but she was planning to work in a small office like Doc’s . Hospitals to her were just too sad .
" What about me ? " asked Lightning .
" Your bad too , but i can fix you here .
Angie will just need more done , " Doc answeed his question . He could tell Angie was scared , and almost
ready to cry .
Duh-duh DUH ! pretty scary huh ?
