Aww. That
just made me smile. I feel bad for Bolts though, after Doc āexhiledā him from the room (and away from
Angie, for that matter). By the way, I think āJacksonā would have been a cool name for Bolts.
Nice
chapter, gottalovepixar. Youāre a fast writer; faster than me, anyway. Iām not
even a third of the way done with my story yet.
Keep up the good work, as always!
Mitch :
Thatās because i get so excited and i want to see peopleās reactions . Itās so fun !! *claps hads
excitingly like a āyay me!ā moment *
gottalovepixar - Haha ā yeah, I can tell.
Maybe I should consider
trying out that ātechniqueā that you and The Star Swordsman enforce, the
one where you donāt submit any new chapters until someone reviews the previous one. I always thought that that
idea was too āpushyā for my taste. Maybe I better not.
When are you going to submit the next
chapter of your story?
Actually , i already do that . I usually wait
until 2 or 3 people have replied .
I really donāt know when the next chapter will be up , because now i
donāt know if i should do 2 more chapters of here in RS or just make her leave . I might do it sometime this
week . If i have time . I despise homework .
gottalovepixar - Oh yeah ā thatās right. You do. Heh ā my
mistake.
Hmm ā I see. Well, you just take your time; I can wait. I kind of hope you lead Angie back to
Radiator Springs, but it is your story.
You know how i said i write when
iām bored ? Well, iām bored now , so , i think iām gonna write a bit . If you want the full feeling of this
chapter , i suggest you play the score āgoodbyeā over and over and over again until youāre done reading this
chapter . The youāll probably cry , so have some tissues ready .
Chapter 15 - Never
Say Goodbye
A month had gone by quickly , more quickly than Angie wanted it too . Her birthday was fun ,
with a birthday cake * , chocolate , her favorite flavor ,and of course a few gifts and some money to support
herself ( although she had plenty , but itās the thought that counts , and she knew this ) . Her most favorite
gift , was a group picture of all of them . Angie in the center , with Doc and Lightning behind her . The third
row was Mater , Sally , Sheriff , Flo , Ramone , and Lizzie . The last row was Luigi , Sarge , Filmore , Red ,
and Guido . She loved it , and triple-checked that it was packed the night before .
Before she knew it
her trunks were packed and everyone was at the end of the road to say goodbye , tears ready to flow from the
windshields of the cars , except Mia & Tia , they were just a little sad .
She had already said bye
to her parents , and her mom cried a bit , and she left .SHe never told them about a quick pit stop to get her
stuff .well , it was more of a week pit stop , but , they didnāt need to know that . She was afraid her father
would make her go start up racing again . After all , he was upset when he found out she was going to quit racing
.
Angie thought it would be easy to leave , just say ā seeya ā and head off . But that wasnāt the case
, and she almost turned around to unpack , but this was her dream , and she wouldnāt give up , even if it meant
leaving her second family .
" Do you have everything you need ? " asked Doc .
"
Yep . Iāve got everything . "
" Lightning , " said Sally , " remind me never to have
children . "
" Why ? " , questioned Lighting .
" Because they and leave you at
the end ! , " Sally burst into tears , making red cry too and quickly drive away .
" You
got the fuel ? " asked Flo .
" Yes , and iāll be set for about the year now . Thanks again ,
" said Angie .
" Well , you better be settinā off now so you can be there by the orientation ,
" warned (?) Sheriff .
" Well , " said Angie to Doc , " I guess this is goodbye .
"
That was the tear starter . Angie started crying , but not bad , just a few sniffs and some tears
, like that , not like this .
Doc tried to quiet her , now cryin a bit himself ( amazing
isnāt it ) " Shh now , this isnāt goodbye , itās more like a seeya later . Besisdes , weāre the oneās
supposed to be crying . "
She soon ran out of tears , and settled down . The college was far , about
a 3 1/2 hour drive , not including the traffic there would be , and the only way she would be driving that to
visit would be on vacation . Luckily , there was one right before the last race . Maybe she would go see
Lightning race . If they wouldnāt cram her with vacation homework .
" I promise to call as soon as
I get there , " she said . " Iāll miss yāall !"
Angie drove a bit , then turned around
to look back . She saw shops , houses , and beautiful scenery . She could see a small indication of Willyās
Butte and the courthouse with Stanley in front of it . But most of all , she saw memories . fun memories , sad
memories , funny ones too .
Iāll be back , Angie thought , making a small
oath to herself , Iāll be back .
mean you never know .
Itās so sad ! . Or is it just me
? Please tell me so i know iām not crazy .
nice chapt. GLP so, Angie leaving huh? (sniff) itās so sad!
Just to let you guys know , the fanfic isnāt over ! We
still havenāt even got to the main part of the conflict . So far hereās what you have of the conflict .
[spoil] Despite her fatherās dreams , Angie wants to become a doctor , not a racecar
[/spoil]
Awwww! Thatās kinda like when I left for college that first year! So sad! (although not depressing, which is
good) I hope she comes back soon. You know when Doc, who usually has that rough exterior, starts getting
misty-eyed things are pretty sadā¦
Yeah , i was thinking that when
i was typing it down . I was like ā Doc doesnāt sound like he would cry . Maybe i shouldnāt make him cry . ā
But then i thought ā aww , what the heck ! Just do it ! It will show how sad it is . ā
Just wondering ,
did anybody take my advice and read the chapter while listening to āgoodbyeā ( the score not the "na na na
na hey hey hey goodbye ā song ) . It really makes you cry ! I did listen to it while creating the scene in my
head before typing it out . So itās basically the inspiration . Cool! My story has an inspiration ! lol
i think iām gonna make
another chapter now . And i would just like to say , if i get the whole college life thing wrong , itās because
iāve got 4 1/2 years to go until i get there . lol
Chapter 16 - Dorm Buddies ( hee hee , doesnāt
the title make you wanna laugh )
" I think i might like here , " Angie said to herself with
a smile .
She had arrived to the campus quicker than expected . There wasnāt much traffic on the way ,
but she noticed it was because only the freshmen were coming that day . Some of them were with their parents
their mothers practically choking them to death . Others were with friends , ready to have fun and slack off , as
usual . The best part was , nobody was staring at her or rushing up to her . She guessed it was because she was
stickerless . Angie knew though , sooner or later , somebody would , and either squel with glee ā¦ or beat
her down until she was nothing but a flat road pancake .
When she got to her dorm , she noticed two
things . One , it was white . Very bland , and it made her feel ā¦ well ā¦ hopeless .
[i]Iām
gonna have to change that before i take pictures and send them to everybody back at Radiator Springs
[/i] , Angie thought , [i] or else Ramone will rush here with paint just to make it look
more colorful [/i] . She laughed at the thought .
ANother thing she noticed was that there
wasnāt one spot for sleeping , there were three .
" Oh no , "
Angie blurted out loud , " oh no , no , no . Please let them not be fans , please let them not be fans .
Puh-lease let them not be fans . Or popular snobs . "
Luckily , she got
their before her roomates , so she got first pick . She decided the one next to the wall on the right was nice ,
a good enough place to put her pictures . It was either that or one next to a window on the left or one next to
a dark corner .
Right when she picked it , a mint green convertable voltswagon beetle ( the convertible
cover was tan ) drove into the room .
" Oh , " the car said with a small giggle , " hello
. I thoguht Iād be the first one here , but you proved me wrong . Iām guessing your my roomie .
"
" One out of two , " replied Angie , " i havenāt met the other one yet . "
" Well , Iām Chai , " said the car .
" Chai ? "
" My motherās
big on the whole yoga relaxation thing . " Chai rolled her eyes , " and you are ? "
"
You mean you actually donāt know who I am ? " asked Angie with a smile .
" No , " Chai
looked a bit freaked out , " am I supposed to ? "
" Well , I was hoping you wouldnāt .
And you donāt , which is good . Iām Angie . Angie Weathers . "
" You mean the female racecar
who just quit for unknown reasons ? You were an inspiration to young girls everywhere ! You probably still are ,
actually , " said Chai , excitement lowering a bit now . " Iām sorry , you probably didnāt want
people to do that . So , what are you here to learn ? "
" Medics , " Angie replied ,
" I always wanted to be a doctor , or somebody that helps people instead of making them sit with a big ag of
potato chips . You ? "
" Journalist . But not the poparazzi type of journalist . One who
actually tell people what really going on . Not one who writes about Britney Lears ( note : Itās supposed to be
Lears ) changing her hair color , or Cali Farlo getting pregnant with a Brazilian male supermodel . That stuff is
so ā¦ unimportant . "
" Wow , we have alot in common , " said Angie , " weāre both
sick of celebrities making people lazy and star-obsessed . "
They both laughed . Chai took the spot
acroos from Angieās and they both decided to take a drive around the campus before fully settling in . While
driving , trhey saw the football jocks with the football jocks , the nerds with the nerds , the drama kids with
the drama kids , and the popular snobs with the popular snobs . A silver bmw that looked like it took all of it
fatherās money away just on her rims laughed at them like a hyenna and drove up to them .
" How
great , " she said sarcasticly , " Chai the loser found herself an Angie Weathers wannabe . "
" Iām not a wannabe , " said Angie agrily , " iām the real thing . "
The
bmwās posse started whispering , all of them noticed ny her voice she was the real Angie Weathers . the bmw
perked up a bit , having a small idea .
" Well , if you are the real thing , why donāt you hang out
with me and my gang . Iām Roshell . Thereās no need for you to hang out with geeks who needed a schaolarship to
get here . "
" No thanks , " Angie replied , " I donāt hang out with snobs " ,
and drove off . Chai stuck her tounge out at Rosell , and followed Angie .
Of course , the future
poparazzi of america members heard this , grabbed their cameras , and started taking pictures of Angie .
" Oh my gosh , " said a red car , " I canāt believe I go to the same college as Angie
Weathers ! What dorm garage do you live in ? "
" Uh , 26B . "
" No way ! ,
" said the car , " thatās my dorm ! Did you hear that guys ? " she
said to her group , " I , Jessica Gibbs , share a dorm with Angie Weathers ! "
" Oh no ,
" said Angie and Chai at the same exact time .
It was around evening , and the new roomies were in
their dorm . Jessica had settled down , and Chai explained to her if she acted like she did that afternoon again
, she would personally get her in a new dorm . This , of course , shut Jessica up right away .
Angie had
put up just about everything , only one picture left . It was the group picture of her and everybody at Radiator
Springs . She sighed sadly . Angie had that homesickness feeling again . It was nice at her college , but not a
beautiful as the little town . She missed them all , and she hadnāt even been gone for a whole day yet .
I think Iāll call them tomorrow , she thought .
" Whoās that
? " asked Chai .
" Oh , just the gang , " answered Angie , " thatās me ,Lightning ,
Sally - "
" As Lightning Mcqueen and his girlfriend ? " asked Jessica excitingly . Chai
gave her a look . " O.k , iāll shut up now , " she said backing off .
" Mater , Filmore ,
Sarge , Flo , Ramone , Lizzie , Red , Luigi , Guido - "
"is that the hudson hornet " asked
Chai , but not as if she was excited .
" Yep . Thatās Doc . Taught me most of the stuff I know
about racing and my dream job . "
" Heās a doctor too ? " Chai looked puzzled .
" And a judge . "
" Wow , somebody likes to multitask . Well , goodnight .
"
" Goodnight , " said Angie , shut the light off , and went to sleep .
Well , that took quicker than I thought . It was fun too . I just
love creating the snobby characters .
Haha ā not bad! āBritney Learsāā¦ (snigger)
Iām pleased that Angie made
at least one friend on her first day at college. I like her name, too: Chai.
Keep it goinā,
gottalovepixar!
Iāve been trying
to think of a name for her for days now , and i was in the kitchen and i say green chai tea . i thought chai
sounded cool , and the more i said it , the more it made sense .
The best part is , sheās my dream car .
I got to create my own perfect friend . pretty cool , huh ? lol
Cool, indeed. Not to get off-topic, but: Have you ever tried chai tea? It is the most
delicious drink on the planet (besides hot chocolate and Sprite) ā not to mention,
the fact that it is warm and soothing may explain Chaiās personality: comfortable and sensitive/sweet/caring.
Kind of a coincidence that you chose that particular name for her, ehā?
Oh boy. Fangirls. Gotta love it. And Iād say that was a
pretty good take on the first day of a college freshman. College dorms usually dont have anything in them when
you get there except the beds and some furniture. You gotta bring everything.
To be exact , they are future poparazzi journalists . I
thought that would be cool .
Hmm , how am I gonna make this work ?
Chapter
17 - Argument
It had been about two weeks after school started and the teachers declared an emergency
vacation for two weeks . Although it wasnāt that far into the school year , the students leaped for joy and left
as fast as possible . There wasnāt that many people at school still , just Angie , Chai , Jessica , and about 20
of their classmates .
" I wonder why theyāre giving us a break so soon , " said Chai to her
two friends .
" Probably because the big race is in two weeks , " answered Angie .
" What makes you think that ? " asked Jessica , one eyebrow arched .
" Because
about ten of them asked me if I had any spare tickets . Even Professor Dillamond ( how can I not add something
from āWickedā ) asked me for one . "
" No way !" exclaimed Chai , " heās a
total downer . I would never think of him as a racing fan . "
" Well , lucky me , " said
Jessica , " I got a pit pass from a press company thanks to my essay I wrote about why celebrities are so
important to our news of the day . Iām off ! Buh-Bye ! "
The two said goodbye to their friend as
she left for an adventure of her own .
" So, " Angie turned to Chai , " what are you doing
for two weeks ? "
Chai rolled her eyes . " Iām probably just going to stay here . My parents
are still in Germany visiting our long lost realatives . Apparently , one of them is a supermodel ."
" Eww , " they both said aloud .
" Let me guess , " Chai said after their
small giggle-fest , āyour going to visit your friends in Radiator Springs , right ?ā
" Mmm
, I might go tell Lightning good luck , " replied Angie , " but I have plans to go visit my dad before
he starts calling saying how mom thinks I donāt care about them anymore . Good thing theyāre in their vacation
spot an hour away from here , I really donāt feel like taking a long drive . "
" Al-righty
then . See-ya in two weeks . "
"See-ya , " answered back Angie , and she drove off
.
The drive was short . Angie knew the way better than the back of her tire , and nobody was on the road ,
so she went a little faster than the spped limit . 80mph , to be exact .
[i] Hm , feels nice
to go fast every once in a while [/i] , thought Angie . She missed racing a little bit , but not that
much . After all , she was pursuing her dream , and you have to give up some stuff every now and then to do that
ā¦ right ?
She got to her parents , and her mother drove up to her quickly from the houseās porch .
" Why didnāt you call ? " asked her mother .
" I called ," Angie answered ,
" you just were never here when I did . "
She stood for a few days , and it felt just like it
did before six monts ago . It was quiet , peaceful , small family chats not including a phone line . Surprisingly
, one other familar thing came up that Angie didnāt want to - her racing for Dinoco .
" You know ,
" The King said to Angie one evening after supper . The sun was was setting , creating an orange and pink
sunset , " Dinoco wants you to race for them again . "
Angie sighed . " Daddy , Iām not
racing . Iām done . "
" What do you mean ? You always had so much fun ! I always saw you with
a smile after you won or got close to it . "
" That was because there were 50 cameras
surronding me wanting that smile . Not because I was happy . "
" Angie , " he father
replied sternly , " I want you to be able to support yourself when your mother and I are gone , and racing
is the best way to . "
" How do you know , " Angie was getting pretty fusturated , "
the only thing you ever did was racing ! "
" Because I enjoyed it ! And I know you do too .
Ever since you were six years old you would do anything to set your tires on the track . You always wanted to be
a racecar and- "
" [b] Well , dad , I donāt want to be a racecar anymore
!!![/b] , " Angie yelled . " You know what ā¦ weāre finished here . Iām gone . " She
drove off , practically throwing dirt in The Kingās face , going fifty miles per hour .
" Angie !
" , yelled her father . But it was too late , she was gone .
" Psst , " Chai heard
someone whisper , " Chai , wake up ."
Chai opened her windshield and yawned . " Oh , "
she said , " itās just you Angie . Why are you back so soon ? "
" Iāll explain later .
Come on . "
" Where are we going ? "
" I donāt know , somewhere my dad
canāt find me . I just need to take a drive and make sure he learns to let me do what I wanna do . "
They drove offf the campus on Interstate 40 . Angie and Chai were jst going straight , while Angie
explained what had happened that evening .
" I canāt believe he was actually trying to make you go
back to what you donāt want to do ! , " exclaimed Chai . " Thatās just wrong . "
Just
then , it started to rain .
" Ooh , no . Of all days why now ? "
" Why donāt you
want it to rain ? "
" Becuase my brakes stink in the rain . Come on , letās get on an exit .
"
They turned at the next exit . By the next carās headlights , a sign shined in the night Angie
and Chai missed . It said āRoute 66ā .
They drove , Angie taking each turn as slow as she could
. Then she it a slick spot . She turned and swerved , finally hitting a pole .
" My nose ! " ,
cried out Angie , " itās busted ! "
" What in the blue blazes ?! " said a car .
" Sheriff ? " , Angie tried to look behind her .
Angie was right , it was Sheriff . He
was on duty as usual , and saw her driving like a maniac and chased her down . Angie was suprised she didnāt
hear the sirens , they must have been drowned by the sound of the rain pattering the ground harder than ever .
" Well , we better get you to Doc before he goes to sleep , " said Sheriff , " I doubt you
want to look like this for a while . "
They drove off ( luckily Mater was not needed that late night
) , Chai wondering what in the world was going on .
" Youāre gone for three weeks and youāve
already got in trouble . Perfect , just perfect . "
Angie was in Docās office , and Doc had taken
the last dent out of her hood . It didnāt look as new as befor , but a paint job session with ramone would fix
that .
" You ran way from the school , taking a friend with you ? " Doc elclaimed . He had
quickly met Chai before fixing up Angie hood . " Do you know how much trouble you can get in ? They could
kick you out right now ! "
" I didnāt run away from the school , " Angie said in a soft ,
childish , innocent voice , " I ran away from daddy . Schools out for two weeks because of the race . "
" You know what , I donāt get you , " replied Doc , " why in the world did you run away
from your father . "
Thatās when it got to Angie , for the second time in three weeks . She just ,
cried . And this time it was a boo-hoo cry . She felt like a seven year old again , just crying because she
needed to .
" Iām guessing it was concerning something not good . "
Angie nodded .
" Aww , he didnāt want you to be a doctor did he ? " asked Doc , going to her side to comfort
her .
She sniffed . " He wants me to race , and I really donāt want to . I mean (sniff) why canāt
he accept my dream ? "
" Because it concerns his dream . "
" What ? "
asked Angie , confused .
" He wants you to take over what he did , " said Doc , " so you
can be more , closer a bit . "
" How do you know that ? " questioned Angie .
" Told me himself . "
" If anything , " she replied , " itās brought
us farther apart . "
Angie and Chai each got a room at the Cozy Cone that night .
"
Well look whoās back , " said Sally , and handed each of them a key , Angie getting once again , cone #4 .
Angie was surprised to notice it was the same exact way she left it . The alarm clock still on the floor
, suffocated by a pillow , a small stain of fuel she left from being up late searching for the perfect college on
her laptop , and one picture of the group at the track she forgot to pack .
" Hm , " she
There you go ,
you finally have all of the conflict ! Iāve had that big screaming line for Angie since i had the idea for the
fanfic . I just love big arguments - and the comforting that comes afterwords .
Hahaha! well iām not really sensing much
trouble anymore. It appears to have happened already. Aww, I feel bad for both Angie and King. I dont think he
deserved to be yelled at like that, but I know why she did. As long as they can eventually patch things up
between each other.
I know what youāre saying , but I needed to add a
little drama . Besides , It was also a good way to get her back to Radiator
Springs too .
Hee Hee , everybody gets to Radiator Springs by a wrong turn . I just noticed that .
lol
