How To Raise A Racecar

:imp: :imp: :imp: I think that sums up Bubba in this story and how I feel about him.

Hmm I wonder how Lightning will take this news. :wink:

Glad you guys like it. :slight_smile:

I think this is probably my favorite chapter so far, it’s very well written. I liked the conversation Doc and Lightning had, it really added depth to both characters. I must say, I really dislike Bubba. That’s unusual for me, usually my favorite characters are the villains :smiling_imp: Can’t wait for chapter 9!

I like the villains too. :smiling_imp:

Something about Bubba, even in the video game, made me hate him. So I thought he would be perfect to be one of the villains in my story. According to all of your hatred toward him, I realize I’ve done a fine job in making you all hate him to. :laugh:

Glad you liked it! Chapter 9 coming right up!

Wow. This has got to be my favorite chapter so far. Bubba is a big fat jerk.

Tee hee fat indeed! :sunglasses:

No Jessie, I don’t hate Bubba at all! I abhor him!!!

But seriously, this chapter was awesome and super intense! I mean, you sure know do how to play around with people’s feelings! I was thinking to myself, “hmm… things aren’t going too great, but at least it’s not that bad,” and just when I was getting glad that Doc was reconciling with Lightning, you had to put that end part in! Ooo, I’m just itching for when Lightning is finally able to open up a can of whoop-butt on Bubba! What, I can dream, can’t I? :stuck_out_tongue:

:laugh:

Oh stuff is going to go down all right. :wink:

Thanks Jeff! :smiley:

~Chapter 9~
Lightning was asleep at the impound and the sounds of voices surrounded him. Lightning yawned and slowly opened his eyes. When he looked over to his right, his engine sank. All of the townsfolk were crowded around Sally’s Cozy Cone Motel.
“Maybe she’s cleaning one of the rooms?”, said Ramone.
“No! No! I’m the first to see her when she drives to work in the morning. She-a passes my store-a first!”, Luigi explained.
“I didn’t see my girl arrive to work either! She didn’t even have breakfast!”, exclaimed Flo.
“Maybe she is with Big Al!”, yelled Lizzie.
“No, don’t think so, Lizzie.”, said Doc.
Meanwhile, Mater went to the Wheel Well as soon as he saw Sally wasn’t at work. Mater knocked on the front garage door. “Miss. Sally?! Erm…I mean almost Mrs. Sally! You there?” Mater heard a faint screaming coming from inside. He put his side up to the door. He listened with his right passenger side window. It was Jane crying. “Jane! It’s uncle Mater!” Jane stopped crying. She was just whimpering. “I’m comin’ in!” Mater back up as far as he could without going over the edge of the cliff and he slammed himself forward into the door. The door busted open. He looked around. The place was empty. “Sally!”, he yelled. Mater drove to Jane’s room. Jane was on the floor shivering. Her hood looked smashed in. “Jane!” Mater drove to her. “Are you okay?” Jane just looked up at Mater with tears in her eyes. “Come on!” Mater hooked up Jane and lifted her on his truck instead of having her roll behind him. He kept his hook wrapped around Jane so she wouldn’t fall out. “Ya gonna see daddy, okay?” Mater drove as fast as he could back to Radiator Springs. He passed by everyone crowding the cozy cone. When he sped by, everyone turned around. The saw Mater speeding to the impound. They all saw Jane with him. Doc noticed that Jane looked like she’s been hurt. Doc back up and sped to Mater. The town all drove to the impound as well. When Mater arrived he explained everything as fast as he could to Lightning, “Lightning! Sally’s missing! We all can’t find her anywhere so I went to go see if she was home at the Wheel Well but she wasn’t there and I heard screaming! I busted the door down and the house was empty! Jane was crying and I found her on the floor of her room with her hood smashed!”
WHAT?”, yelled Lightning. “None of us saw her!”, yelled Flo. “Where’s my baby!?”, yelled Lightning. “She’s here! Don’t worry.”, said Mater. He gently let Jane down from his tow hook. When Jane saw Lightning she smiled and started bouncing. Lightning just stared at Jane in horror. But then he paused because he noticed something on her. It was right where she has been hit. Doc was looking at the same thing as Lightning. Doc looked at Lightning. “I know you see what I see.”, said Doc. “Yep.”, said Lightning.
Doc and Lightning both saw a strip of green paint on Jane right where she got hit. “Chick.”, said Doc. “No.”, said Lightning. Everyone in town gave Lightning a confused look. “Not Chick?”, asked Doc. “I know…I know…”, said Lightning. “It’s weird for me to say that. But I know Chick. He hates everything. He even hates kids. He will hurt everything, but he would never hurt a kid himself.” “Man, who else is green that hates you enough to hurt Jane!? Open your eyes, dude! It’s Chick!”, yelled Ramone. “No! It isn’t.”, replied Lightning. “It was his son.”
Son?”, asked Flo.
“Since when did he have a son?”, asked Mater.
“I heard it on the news before. His girlfriend was expecting but I was listening to Mater’s broken radio through the fence earlier and the news said that his baby has already been born and he didn’t want the media to know about it yet. It’s a boy.”, Lightning explained. He clenched his teeth and kicked the fence with his tire hard. “He must have broken into the Wheel Well with his son!”, yelled Lightning. “He made his son hurt Jane and while his son was doing that, Chick…” Lightning stopped. Anger boiled up inside of him. “Chick took Sally…”, said Lightning.
Mater gasped. “Oh no!”, yelled Mater. Lightning sighed deeply. “I know…I’m so mad…I…I-”
No! No! No!”, Mater interrupted. “You’re telling me that I bashed through the door of the Wheel Well when it was already unlocked!?”
Everyone glared at Mater.
“This isn’t the time to joke!”, Sheriff scolded. “We need to get Sally back from Chick.” “Who knows what he could be doing with her…”, growled Lightning. You could hear the anger in his voice. The white area of Lightning’s eyes started to turn light pink. “Buddy, you don’t look so good.”, said Mater. “Don’t worry I’ll get-”, said Sheriff. “No.”, Doc interrupted. “Let Lightning go.” Doc pressed the switch to open the gate with his tire. Mater drove next to Lightning and unlocked his boot. Lightning moved his tire around a little because it’s been in the boot for a while. Lightning drove out of the impound, kissed Jane, and took off down the road. The townsfolk couldn’t believe how fast he could go when Sally was taken from him or Jane was hurt. Since both of those things happened, you might say, “Gee, if Lightning McQueen was in the race for the Piston Cup right now, there would be no contest.”
The wind in Lightning’s face was like a hurricane. He dashed through the other drivers on the street. Not one stop.
Meanwhile, Sally just awakened from being passed out. She looked around and quickly remembered what happened. She was in a nice home. Everything was clean, except for the car in it with her. Sally took a deep breath in. An amazing aroma filled the air. She decided to follow the scent. When Sally tried to drive forward, something didn’t feel right. She couldn’t drive forward or backward. She couldn’t move from the spot at all. She was just stuck on Bubba’s mattress with an extremely rusty boot on. “Help!”, she yelled. “HELP!”
The door of the bedroom flung open. Bubba was at the door with a tray hooked on his door. On the tray were two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two slices of toast with butter on them, and a little glass of orange juice. Sally’s mouth hung open. “Good morning, beautiful. Had a nice night?”, asked Bubba, sarcastically. He laughed. “W-What did you do to me!?”, asked Sally, frantically. “Where’s my b-baby!?”
“That’s none of your business and who cares?”
Sally’s engine sank. She cringed at the thoughts of Bubba having control over her all night and not knowing what he’s done. “It is my business and I CARE! I want my baby! Give her to me!”
Bubba thought for a moment. He wasn’t really thinking. He was just playing with her emotions. “Nope!”, he said.
Tears formed in Sally’s eyes. “Look! I don’t care what you did to me! I just want my baby!”
“Well, I didn’t do nothin’ to you. Hopefully, that calms ya down a bit.”
Sally did feel a bit calmer. “…and what about my baby?”
“Honestly, I don’t have her. I want nothing to do with her. Just you. Now here. Eat your breakfast.” Bubba put the tray on the bed with her. Sally looked down at the food and slapped it away with the tire with the rusty boot on it. When she hit the tray, Sally noticed a piece of the boot fell off. “Oh! Now look at this mess! I made it all for you! Now I need to make it again.”, said Bubba, sarcastically. He drove back out of the room and back into the kitchen. Knowing that Sally wouldn’t eat it, he had another meal ready for her. All the meals weren’t finished though. He added the secret ingredient last.
Poison.
Bubba started setting everything up again.
Sally was in the bedroom still. She didn’t know Bubba had her meals all done for her so she thought she had a lot of time. She hopped to the edge of the bed and hopped off. She made sure she bashed the floor hard. Half of the boot was off.
Success.
She managed to get half of it off but was able to put it back together if anyone saw her.
The door started to open. Sally gasped. When Bubba drove in, he saw Sally on the floor. The whole boot was still on her. “So, Sally. What in tarnation are you doin’ on the floor?”, asked Bubba, evilly. Sally quickly answered, “I fell!” Bubba rolled his eyes. “Anyway, here.”, said Bubba. He put the tray of food in front of her. It looked so good. She hasn’t eaten all day and missed dinner last night. She was starving. She put her mouth up to the plate and went to take a bite. Bubba smiled. Sally saw that at the corner of her eye. In a mean tone of voice, Sally said, “I don’t trust you.” “Well, Sally?”, asked Bubba.
“What?”, asked Sally. She squinted at him.
“I don’t trust you NEITHER!”
He stretched his tire out and slammed the tray of food in her face. Sally started to shake it off. While she was distracted, Bubba grabbed the tire with the rusty boot on it. He shook her axle and the boot fell right off in the two halves Sally broke it into. “I KNEW IT!”, he yelled. Sally wiped the food off of her face with her other tire. Bubba was really angry. Bubba growled, “You know, Sally, I don’t appreciate it when cars lie to me.” He drove forward into her. Sally was backed up against the wall. She couldn’t back up anymore. She paused and remembered Lightning doing the same thing. She screamed. Bubba stuffed his tire on her mouth. “Shut up, Sally.”

Ooooooooo…Bubba=:evil: I can’t tell you how much I resent him right now. He’s a sick jerk. :astonished:

That really was dark and twisted. Poor Jane! I don’t know whether to believe that it was Chick who beat her in or not. I can’t wait to find out.

Oh, and I hope Lightning finds Sally and kicks some Bubba Butt!

Jessie, you are by far my favourite fanfic writer on here :wink: Chapter10, hurry up! Hangs onto seat so tight my knuckles go red

No one knows what to believe. :wink:

Like Lightning says in the first Cars video game, “You can mess with me, but you don’t mess with my friends.” Imagine someone messing with his family. :open_mouth: He’s beyond furious.

I’m really glad you like my writing that much. I never expected I would be someone’s favorite…well…anything! :smiley: I’m so flattered! I can’t even find the words to explain how special I feel. :smiley:

I can’t quite pick a favorite critic of mine because you all write with a lot of emotion and good or bad, I appreciate them. Though I said I couldn’t pick a favorite, I must say, that you’re one of the ones that show the most emotion. :smiley:

BUBBA MUST DIE!! :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp: That sick twisted jerk! I hope he falls off a really tall canyon!

These chapters are getting better and better! I think here pretty soon you should maybe show a bit of Bubba’s side of the story… like, there’s got to be some sort of reason he would want to do all this, unless he’s just gone crazy. This is completely my opinion, but I think you should explore a little bit of Bubba’s other side… give some behind-the-scenes reasoning as to what his plan is. Like Ami said, you’re my absolute favorite fanwriter on this forum! Keep up the good work! :wink:

WOW Bubba is a Psycho-Matic-idiotic-Jerk Nuff said… anyway great writing there jessie, 5 out of 5… great description of the anger inside Lightning. Poor Jane :cry: hope Bubba gets whats coming to him…

Keep up the good work!! cant wait to read Chapter 10!!!

This story’s got me hooked! I love what you’ve written so far. That Bubba is so evil!!! :angry:

I can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m really wondering how Chick Hicks is fitting into the picture…

Forster, tee hee I dunno! :unamused:

Snipe, I actually had a plan to do that! :smiley: I explain a little about him in the next chapter. Well, he explains it himself. You know Bubba, he never let’s out too much information. :wink: Adding to that I’m glad I have another amazing fan on here. :laughing: Like I said with Ami, I can’t find the words to thank you.

mopar5, it was hard to decribe how angry he was considering in my mind he was crazy angry. I didn’t want him to come off as a nut case so I made so it simply shows that he was more than furious and let your imaginations do the rest.

JSWC, he’s worse than Frank! But anyway, you’ll see the Chick problem in chapter 10. :smiley: Glad you like it so much! :laughing:

You don’t need to find any words!Yep, you should feel flattered and special :wink: The best fanfic writer and one of my best friends!

Awww, thanks! Now it’s my turn to be flattered :blush: But yeah, everyone here is a great critic. You need us for support! :mrgreen:

Bring on Chapter10!

OMG… This story keeps getting darker and better. Usually I love villians, but there’s something about Bubba that makes me hate him with a passion. :imp:

He’s, I guess, a special case. :laugh:

or a Nut-Case
