I couldn’t resist. xD
Something else… you think you’ll ever get to the point where Jane is all grown up and getting married?
I hope that dream is just a dream. Or else, shivers. I love the Dora reference. It’s just too random. xD
Yep!
I don’t understand what you mean.
I mean if that really happened, that would be bad. Lightning estranged from his wife and kid. Just, it would be bad.
Ohhhhh!!! Yeah, it was “just” a dream. cough
Whew! Thank goodness!
This was an awesome chapter Jessie. I love how you handled the dream sequence, and the Dora reference was so funny!
BTW, was Dora supposed to be a car in the show? I’m only asking since this story is set in car world.
Of course it was just a dream…in this chapter. I can’t tell the future…maybe…Lightning…is just like the rest…
You’ll have to find out!
Yeah she is a Ford Explorer “Dora Ford Explorer”
EDIT:
Thank you!
NICE work Jessie!!! as always…
Thank you. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/grinandwink.gif” alt=“;-D” title="Grin and

Hey Jessie! Sorry it took me so long to review the latest chapter. I’m glad I got around to it though, it’s the best chapter so far! I think I say that for all the chapters though, they just keep getting better I really liked the dream sequence, and Dora The Ford Explorer is “epic win” as they say. I’m glad we’ll get to see what Jane’ll be like all grown up. Update soon! But you know, no pressure of course, just whenever you have time.
I have more time now that I’ve gotten most of the junk I needed to deal with off of my shoulders but I’ll be sure to update soon. The next chapter is probably going to be on the long side so it may take a bit of…well…a while. I’m not going to say who, but someone very cool is going to be making a cameo. So yeah, watchaaaaaa!!!
Thanks for the review! It’s totally fine by the way. I totally understand. There’s a lot I still need to get around to. I’m missing chapters in the other fanfics here.
What?
This is a LONG one!
~Chapter 13~
Lightning and Sally drove down to Radiator Springs where their wedding was going to be held. The sun was just setting in the sky which created the perfect romantic glow. Roses were spread on strings dangling across the street lights. Flo had food and oil spread out on a large catering table. Cars were already lined up eating some food and the wedding didn’t even start yet. Some of the cars were just fans who paid Lightning big money to see him get married, some of the cars were from Sally’s family, and all of the townsfolk was there. That’s including the employees who worked for them. Music was blasting from Flo’s Café. The songs were mostly slow love songs. The rest of the songs were fast love songs. Lightning looked around at everyone. They had the same tires, the same rims, the same hubcaps, and the same paint jobs as Lightning dreamed about the night before. Lightning, Sally, and Jane still needed to be painted for the wedding though. It’s a custom that the bride, groom, and their children arrive at the wedding with their own paint job and get painted for the wedding that day. Two cars were headed Sally’s way. Lightning looked over at them and smiled. One car was a male Corvette and the other was a female Lexus.
“Mom! Dad!”, Sally called out.
“Hey Corven! Hey Lexi!”, called Lightning
Corven was Sally’s father and Lexi was Sally’s mother.
“So now your marrying the punk?”, Corven asked Sally, playfully.
“Yes, dad. I am.”, Sally rolled her eyes.
“My little girl! She’s getting married and has her own family!”, said Lexi. “I can’t believe you made me a grandmother…I’m at such a young age!”
Lightning laughed.
“Hey!”, Lexi nudged him.
“I was only kidding!”, said Lightning
Corven looked around. He saw the rear end of a little white Porsche hiding behind Sally and yelled, “Hey! There’s my granddaughter!”
Jane took off down the street. Corven’s eyes widened but his hanging mouth turned into a smile.
“She’s a fast one! Must have gotten it from you, Sally!”, said Corven.
“Oh, haha…very funny Corv…”, said Lightning.
Corven sighed, “Well, she’s challenging me to a race, it seems.” He revved loudly and caught the eye of all of the other guests.
Lexi rolled her eyes, “Oh, please, Corven, you’re embarrassing yourself!”
“VROOM!!!”, Corven yelled, ignoring his wife. He sped down the street chasing Jane. Sally looked at Lightning.
“That’s what it’s like to have a Corvette as your father.”, said Sally. She chuckled. Lightning looked down at his hood.
“What’s the matter?”, asked Lexi.
Lightning sighed, “I wish he could be here today.”
Lexi frowned. She drove over to Lightning and nuzzled her hood into his right fender.
“He probably wishes he could be here too.”, Lexi whispered.
Lightning shook his head, “No…not really.”
Lexi gave Lightning a confused look. She didn’t know what else to say to him. Lightning felt a little paw on his rear right tire.
“AH!!”, he yelled.
He jumped forward and started to shake that tire.
“Get it off! Get it off!!!”
Sally laughed.
“Relax, Lightning. It’s just a bunny!”, she said.
Lightning turned around and saw a little, fluffy, white, cute bunny with dark round eyes. Its nose was twitching causing its whiskers to vibrate.
“Hey there little little guy!”, said Lightning.
The bunny started to hop away. Lightning watched as its little feet pounded the ground. The sound of a tiny engine zipping was heard. Lightning turned at saw Jane coming at him at full speed.
“Jane! No!”, Lightning yelled.
A tow hook flew into Jane’s bumper. She squealed.
“Gotcha!”, yelled a raspy voice.
It was Bubba. He drove to Lightning with Jane.
“You almost hit your lil’ daddy!”, Bubba tapped Lightning’s roof with his tire.
Lightning rolled his eyes. It wasn’t that Lightning was short or too small, it was Bubba who was too massive.
“Yo! McQueen!”, yelled a familiar voice.
“Chick?”, said Lightning, in disbelief.
Chick was driving into Lightning and Sally’s wedding with Jane, Chick’s girlfriend, not Lightning’s daughter.
“Yeah, it’s me at your wedding! You-”
“Get out, Chick.”
“No! Don’t worry I’m not going to do anything.”
“Leave.”
“No, listen!”
Lightning sighed, “Okay, Chick, what?”
Chick groaned and looked at his girlfriend.
“Tell him.”, said Jane. “Tell him what you told me you were going to tell him.”
Chick sighed, “Look, Lightning. I’ve said things in the past that, well, were mean.”
“Go on.”, said Lightning.
“…and I’m here because I was, well, thinking about you.”
“Thinking about me? Chick, do you honestly think-”
“I’m sorry.”
Lightning’s engine dropped, “What?”
Chick held out his right tire, “Congrats, you know, on the…marriage thing.”
Lightning stared at Chick’s tire, put out his left tire, and shook tires with him. He smiled.
“Wow, Chick…thanks, man.”
Chick smiled. Ramone drove over to Lightning.
“Come on, Lightning, you gotta get painted up.”, said Ramone.
Lightning nodded. He drove inside of Ramone’s shop. Inside, he saw where the cars got painted. He saw white paint on the floor in the outline of Sally’s body. He smiled.
Ramone chuckled, “Okay, okay, Lightning, I know you’re excited to see Sally. Let’s get you painted.”
Lightning shut his eyes, took in a deep breath and shut his mouth and Ramone began to paint him. Luigi was also in Ramone’s shop putting on the tires and hubcaps.
After about ten minutes, Ramone said, “Alright! Open your eyes!”
Lightning opened his eyes and saw that he was painted in the exact same way as his dream and his hubcaps were exactly the same as well.
“She’s gonna love you a lot more than usual, tonight.”, said Ramone. He laughed.
Lightning couldn’t wipe away his smile.
Outside of Ramone’s shop, Sally was with Flo right at the end of the street. The end opposite of Stanley’s statue. The end where Lightning first entered town. Jane was with them also.
“So, you nervous?”, asked Flo.
Sally shrugged her tires.
“To tell you the truth, I can’t tell you how I’m feeling. It’s all mixed emotions. I’m…happy…and excited! But on the other tire, I’m feeling like, somethings not right”, said Sally.
“Something isn’t right?”
“Yeah, but it’s hard to explain…it’s weird.”
“Girl, you sure you alright?”
Ramone drove out of his shop. he looked down the street and whistled at Flo to get her attention. Flo looked over at Ramone. Ramone waved his tire around. Flo smiled really wide.
“Oh! Sally! It’s time!”, she yelled.
Sally gasped.
“Jane! Stay here, okay? When you hear music, start driving to daddy, okay?”
Jane was at that age where she was able to understand speech, but still wasn’t able to speak.
“Good girl, Jane.”
Sally kissed her and smiled.
“Cars grow up so fast.”, she thought.
Sally turned around and drove down the street to hide behind the Radiator Springs sign.
“Alright Lightning, go park over there.”, said Ramone.
He pointed his tire at Stanley’s statue. Lightning listened to him and drove over. Everyone parked on the sides of the street, but facing the street to watch Sally drive down. Flo turned off the speakers for the love songs and it was silent.
“Alright, come on.”, said Flo to an unknown female car.
She was a silver Audi A6 with an acoustic guitar strapped to her front bumper. Flo directed her to the center of the cafe. The female car parked right there. Guido drove to where the female car was too. He was pushing drums over. He smiled at her.
“I’ll go get the microphone.”, said Flo.
Flo disappeared into the little office/kitchen and appeared once again with a microphone on a stand, the perfect height for a car, after a minute. She stood the microphone in front of the Audi.
“Guido, do you have your drum sticks?”, asked Flo.
Guido nodded. He drove behind the drums and held up his sticks in playing position. The Audi lifted one tire up to the fret board of the guitar, and the other tire to the sound hole.
“Testing.”, she said into the microphone.
The microphone squeaked a tiny bit and she cringed. Doc drove to Stanley’s statue. He was going to be the one to wed Lightning and Sally. He cleared his throat.
“Will all of the bridesmaids and the best man please come down and park over here with the groom?”, Doc asked.
Flo, Mia, Tia, and Nurse GTO drove to the statue and parked on the left side.
“Where is he!!??”, Lightning thought.
Doc groaned. His face was starting to show agitation. Whispers were heard throughout the cars parked on the side of the street. Sally was tapping her tire, waiting to start driving. She wasn’t tapping because she was annoyed at the tardiness of the best man, but at how nervous she was.
“I hope I remember my vows…oh my Manufacturer…oh my Manufacturer…please, Manufacturer, let me remember my vows. Please.”, Sally thought.
“I’m here! Imma comin’!!”, yelled an ugly voice.
Lightning heard the yells and squinted at the road. Mater was speeding to the wedding. When he arrived, he parked next to Lightning. He was all rusty, still. He was supposed to get the required paint job and tires. Lightning’s oil boiled.
“MATER!”, Lightning screamed.
His voice echoed through the canyons. All the cars fell silent. Mater looked down at what should be his hood and he scuffed the ground with his right front tire. Lightning clenched his teeth tightly.
“MATER, YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!”, he yelled, his voice still echoing.
Mater just stared at Lightning for a moment. His lips started to quiver.
“I’m…I’m sorry…buddy.”, said Mater, in a choked up voice.
“Mater, you’re always sorry.”, Lightning replied.
Mater felt so much shame. He didn’t say another word. He just stayed parked there, not looking at Lightning. He had a very sorry look on his face. Lightning saw this and rolled his eyes. Doc cleared his throat.
“Um, yes…well…”, he said, changing the subject. “Are you ready to begin, Lightning?”
Lightning gulped and nodded slowly. Doc looked at Flo and waved his tire. Flo gave Doc an approved nod. Flo turned to Guido.
“Are you ready, Guido?”, asked Flo.
Guido smiled, “Pitstop!”
Flo smiled and turned to the female Audi.
“Are you ready, Jess?”, she asked.
The Audi smiled wide, “Yes I am.”
With that said, Flo counted them off, “And a one…and a two…and a…”
Guido started playing a soft beat to start ‘Here Comes The Bride’. After four measures, Jessica started to play the melody with her guitar.
Do, do, do do…do, do, do do…
Jane heard the music and started to drive down the road nice and slowly. A bouquet of flowers was closed between her trunk. The pedals touched the road as she drove forward, ripping the pedals off and leaving them on the road. She was the flower girl. Sally took a deep breath and started to drive toward Lightning. She wasn’t in sight at first, due to the slight hill, but after the hill, she lit up the whole town. All of the cars turned their hood’s to Sally. There were gasps heard in the audience and "Ohhh!"s and "Ahhh!"s. Sally was painted white with a slight hint of glitter. Her rims were made of pure diamond. Her lips were curved up in a small smile. She wore a veil that brushed against her windshield and on her hood. Lightning couldn’t take his eyes off of her. He was speechless and thoughtless. His gas tank began to turn. The closer Sally got to Lightning, the more his axles ached. Lightning felt as if he couldn’t hold himself up much longer. He swallowed hard and his spit struggled down his throat. His engine sank and started to purr at a low volume.
“Sally…”, he whispered.
Sally finally reached the end of the road and parked next to Lightning. Jessica and Guido stopped playing. Doc gave the engaged couple a few seconds to themselves. Sally was smiling. It was a smile that Lightning has never seen before. It was a new smile.
“Sally…?”, Lightning started. “You…”
He couldn’t bring himself to say it.
“Yes?”, Sally asked in suspense.
Lightning still didn’t answer. The crowd stared awkwardly at Lightning. Doc smiled.
“We’ll just begin then.”, said Doc.
Lightning exhaled heavily. Sally giggled. Lightning bit his lip.
“I’m such an idiot…”, he thought.
Doc cleared his throat and took in a deep breath.
Doc started his speech, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of the manufacturer and in the face of the audience to join together this man and this woman forever…”
Lightning started to drift off in Sally’s eyes. Doc’s voice started to slip away and so did the image of the town.
It was only her.
It was only Sally.
Sally.
Sally.
Sally.
He just stared at her. Sally’s eyes seemed so safe. They were nice and warm. Lightning could feel everything in those eyes. His life would always flash by when he looked into Sally’s eyes, but this time it was stronger. Sally was just a girlfriend before. Now, Sally is about to be his wife. This time, when his life flashed before him, it all came in much clearer. He felt what his childhood should have felt have felt like. He felt his mother. He heard her humming. But it all started to change. The warm feeling went away. Lightning started to feel cold and he saw his father but his father disappeared really fast. Lightning zoomed out. He stared at Sally’s lips. There were perfectly plump and glossed with a little saliva. He looked away from her lips and back at her whole picture. He loved her so much. Suddenly the town’s imaged faded back in. Doc’s muffled voice that sounded like thunder started to clear up into a rain of words.
“The couple has chosen to say their own vows. Sally, will you please start?”, asked Doc.
Sally took a deep breath in. Lightning swallowed hard.
“Oh no…”, he thought. His engine sank and his black paint started to look like a pale, worn out, black. “I never wrote the vows! I’m such an idiot! What do I do?”
Sally looked into Lightning’s eyes and started her vows.
“Lightning, the day we met is a day that I will never release out of my memory. I will never forget the look on your face. Those widened eyes, those parted lips, and that blank stare you always do.”, she paused and laughed lightly. “Kind of the look you’re giving me now!”
The audience laughed. Lightning gulped and put on a fake smile. Sally continued.
“When I finally gave into the feelings you created in me, that I, myself, don’t understand, and probably will never understand, I knew that we were going to make it work. But when you were taken from me, I couldn’t help but think it was all a dream.”
Lightning stopped thinking about the vows he never wrote and stared at Sally. He had the biggest urge to kiss her. He wanted to kiss her now. Lightning gently touched his tongue to his lips slowly and pulled it back. Sally continued.
“I knew I would see you again, but just on the T.V. I wouldn’t see you in person ever again. I would never see those blue eyes, I would never hear that beautiful chuckle, that piercing ‘Ka-Chow’, or see that sparkling lucky sticker ever again. All I was looking for was love, true love. That’s all I always wanted. You gave that to me, Lightning McQueen.”
Lightning, with his blank expression, thought back to the past.
Lightning could see glistening under Sally’s eyes from the red lights coming off of Mack. She was about to cry. He gasped as he saw his love backing away from him. Sally’s voice echoed in Lightning’s mind as she said, “I hope you find what you’re looking for…” Sally started to drive away.
“Sally…”, said Lightning aloud, by total accident.
The audience looked at him.
“Yes?”, asked Sally.
“No…I…didn’t mean to say that. Keep going…”, Lightning replied.
So, Sally continued.
“I’ve finally found what I was looking for my entire life. I’ve always dreamed about what my wedding would be like, but I never thought it would be like this. Once again, Lightning, you took my dreams and made them an even better reality. Through all of the fights we go through, I will always love you. As we begin our lives together, my love for you will continue to grow.”
Sally stopped to signal she was done. Doc smiled. Lightning smiled too. He was still day dreaming a bit so he didn’t realize it was now his turn.
“Alright, Lightning. It’s your turn now.”, said Doc.
Lightning stopped breathing. He just stared at Sally.
“Lightning? Lightning?”, asked Doc.
“Sweetie?”, asked Sally.
Lightning shook himself and started breathing again. He bit his lips. Sally was starting to get nervous. When things like this happened, it usually mean the groom was going to skip out on the bride.
“Come on, Lightning. Stop playing around.”, said Doc.
Sally’s mouth hung open and the feeling of hurt was starting to happen in her eyes. Lightning was able to see the glistening under Sally’s eyes again and because of this, he snapped out of it.
“Sally…forgive me?”, he said.
Sally’s hurt turned to puzzled.
“What?”, asked Sally.
“I…”, Lightning started.
Lightning swallowed hard.
“Should I tell her…?”, he thought.
Lightning continued where he left off.
“I love you so much. You know, saying things to you is just so hard. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to ever do it. I’m not good with words. I don’t even know why you still even love me. I’m not a good man. I forgot to write my vows. I forgot to write them. What kind of a man is that? What kind of a man would do that to his own wedding? What kind of a man would do that to his woman? Sally, I’m just going to tell you everything right now. All of the things I love about you. About us. Me and you are so perfect. The day I saw you for the first time, your face glowed like an angel from above. I thought I was staring at one. The way you drive in such a calm way. The way you laugh when I do something stupid. The way you call me Stickers. The way you look at me when we’re park in front of a sunset. The way you look at me when we’re in bed at night and it’s just me and you with the glow of the moon through the shades. The way me and you look at the stars and try outlining our bodies in them, making us a constellation. The way you can be so nice and proper. The way you can be unpredictable. The curves of your body. The eyes that make me feel like I’m worth something. The eyes that make me feel home. The eyes that make me feel, period. Like you said, when I was taken from you, I was so…so…devastated. I was just parked there in Mack. I was so upset that I didn’t even cry. All I kept thinking was ‘Why does everything I love, everything I want, and everything my heart needs, is always taken from me?’. I thought those words in my head over and over again. I fell asleep that night and I dreamed of your face. That’s all it was. You in front of that waterfall. The mist of the waterfall gently hitting your body.”
Bubba looked down at his hood. He exhaled.
“This probably isn’t such a good time to tell him.”, Bubba thought.
Lightning continued.
“Mater…”
Mater looked up.
“Huh?”, he asked.
“How can I forget about you? You’re the one that brought us together in the first place. All you did was help me. All you did was be my best friend. Before you, truth is, I had no friends. All you did was be nice to me and how do I repay you? I yell at you for not being painted the right way for our wedding. What kind of a friend is that? I’m sorry I didn’t realize it all before. I’m sorry I never acknowledged you better. How many times have you ever passed something so many times without actually seeing it? You can just live your life and pass so many things, never really looking at the big picture. Mater, without you, Sally would be dead. You saved her life for me. How do I repay you? I yell at you for not being painted the right way for our wedding. Mater, you’d think the one person now painted for the wedding in the right way is the idiot, but the only stupid one here is me. I’m the idiot. I’m the one who forgot his vows. I’m the one who never appreciates anything from his friends. The only idiot here is me. Me. I’m the only idiot. Sally, tonight you are marrying the happiest idiot in the world. I love you. More than yesterday and less than tomorrow.”
Sally was speechless. She just had the biggest smile on her face. Mater put he tire out to Lightning and Lightning put his tire out to him. They shook tires. Doc sniffled. His voice seemed choked up.
“Does anyone feel like these two sh-should not be wed? Speak now or f-forever hold you peace.”
Flo looked at the audience and gave them a very dirty look, making sure no one said a thing. After a few moments, Doc asked the big question.
“Then with that, do you Sally Carrera take Lightning McQueen to be your husband? To love each other for as long as you both shall live?”
Sally nodded really fast in excitement.
“I do!”, she said.
“And do you, Lightning McQueen take Sally Carrera to be your wife? To love each other for as long as you both shall live?”
“No, I don’t.”, said Lightning.
The audience gasped. Sally’s smile turned into an instant frown. She went to drive away, but Lightning took his tire and grabbed her tire to hold her back.
Lightning continued, “I take Sally Carrera to be my wife for longer than we both shall live. For eternity. For infinity and beyond.”
The audience let out a big “Aww!!”. Sally turned to Lightning and smiled once again, right through her tears. Doc cleared his throat to get everybody’s attention back.
“That was…beautiful, Lightning.”, said Doc. “Without anything further, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Lightning took in one last image of Sally and Sally took in one last image of Lightning, then they both closed their eyes and moved into each other. They locked their lips together and held them there for a few minutes while the audience cheered loudly. Jane cringed at all of the noise. Sally pulled away slowly and opened her eyes. Lightning’s eyes were still closed and he was smiling.
“Hey, do you remember that surprise I was telling you about last night?”, asked Sally.
Lightning opened his eyes calmly.
“Yes I do.”, said Lightning.
“Well…”, Sally started.
She when from looking at him, to looking past him. She smiled at what was behind him. Lightning wondered why Sally was looking behind him. since he didn’t have side view mirrors, he couldn’t see what it was. So he turned around. His jaw dropped. Sally pulled up next to him.
“Surprise!”, Sally whispered.
She kissed his side. Lightning couldn’t speak. In front of Lightning was a woman. She was a silver 2000 Subaru Legacy. The woman smiled at Lightning.
“Sally…how did you…?”, Lightning started to ask.
He continued looking at the woman.
“How?”, Sally asked. “Because I love you.”
She smiled.
All Lightning could say was, “Mom…?”
The woman nodded while smiling.
“Lightning!”, she exclaimed.
“MOMMY!”, Lightning yelled out. He sped into her and snuggled his face into her front bumper.
She laughed, “Thank you, Sally.”
“You’re welcome, Midge.”, Sally replied.
Lightning pulled away and started to stare at her some more.
“Mom?”, Lightning asked again in disbelief.
Midge laughed and nodded, “Yes!”
Bubba was biting his lip. He saw the magical reunion between Lightning and his mother.
“If I tell him now, it’ll ruin the whole day.”, thought Bubba. “But if I tell him now, maybe it will finally put his mind at ease in a weird way.”
Bubba drove over to Sally, Midge, and Lightning. He cleared his throat.
“Lightning.”, said Bubba.
Lightning turned around.
“Oh…hey.”, said Lightning.
“Can we talk for a few minutes? I have something that I really need to get off of my undercarriage.”
“Um…sure okay.”
Lightning turned back to his mother.
“I’ll only be a minute mom.”, he said.
So, Lightning followed Bubba out of the town. They were driving towards Tailfin Pass.
Midge looked down and saw a little white Porsche. Sally smiled when she noticed.
“Jane, that’s grandma!”, Sally exclaimed.
“I’m a grandmother too!?”, Midge yelled, in excitement. “I find out that I’m about to have a daughter-in-law, well, I have one now, and now I find out I’m a grandmother? This is one of the happiest days of my life. To tie it all together, I finally see my son. I haven’t seen him in eight years!”
“Well, it’s a pleasure to reunite you two.”, said Sally.
Today was beautiful. Everything was going as planned. The wedding was great, the food was great, the music were great, Lightning saw his mother again, and Lightning finally said ‘Thank you.’ to Mater.
Bubba seemed to be driving to tailfin pass very quickly. The sky was now dark because their wedding started at sunset and now the time passed. Lightning was next to Bubba and because of that, he was able to see in front of him; Bubba had headlights. The sky was slightly lit by the full moon and stars.
“Bubba! Slow down! What’s the rush?”, asked Lightning.
Bubba was breathing heavily. Lightning was used to going way faster than this, but Bubba was a big tow truck. Bigger than Mater; Unhealthy. He was running out of breath due to lack of stamina.
“I…need to…tell…you…some…thing…”, said Bubba, in between breaths.
They finally reached the top.
“Look…look over this…”, said Bubba. Lightning looked over the edge of the canyon.
“Yeah?”, he asked. “What about it?”
“Isn’t it beautiful?”, asked Bubba.
“It’s…the ground down there.”, said Lightning.
“No no…not that. Up there.”, Bubba corrected. He pointed to the night sky with a tire.
“Oh…yeah…”, said Lightning.
“Imagine.”
“Imagine what, Bubba?”
“Imagine a universe up there; Another one.”
“Another one…?”
“Yeah one where…where cars have no eyes…no mouths…no voices…”, Bubba paused. He turned to Lightning and continued, “No soul…”
Lightning backed away a bit.
“Bubba…you’re scaring me.”
Just then, Bubba snapped.
Bubba let out an evil, metal screeching, laugh. He drove to Lightning and smiled. He took both of his front tires and grabbed them with his. He started to sing to Lightning in an eerie voice.
“Somewhere over the rainbow…way up…HIGH.” He hit Lightning in the face with his tire.
He continued.
“There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a…LULL-A-BY.” He hit Lightning on every syllable of ‘lullaby’.
“Urgh!! Stop! STOP!!”, Lightning screamed.
Bubba grabbed his mouth.
“You cry because daddy used to sing that to you every single night.”, said Bubba. He laughed. “And do you want to know where daddy is?”
Lightning started to tremble.
“D-Dead…? Dead…”, said Lightning. “R-Right?”
Bubba smiled.
“YEAH HE’S DEAD!”, Bubba snarled. “And guess what!”
Lightning closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth.
“W-What?”, Lightning asked, through his teeth.
Bubba drove to Lightning’s side and whispered to him, “Uncle Bubba…killed him.”
Lightning’s engine sank and his mouth hung open. His jaw was vibrating. He blinked fast.
Bubba drove back to Lightning’s front and coughed in his face. Spit flew on Lightning’s hood and windshield. Lightning was in such shock he didn’t even care. He looked through drops of spit at Bubba. Because of the spit it looked like he was seeing double.
“Know what Uncle Bubba is gonna do to you?”, asked Bubba.
Lightning didn’t answer.
“Let’s just say, no one is going to hear you scream, Lightning.”
The bunny from earlier just stared and hopped away.
AGHHHHH CLIFFHANGER ENDING!
This chapter was AMAZING. I really liked Lightning’s impromptu vows, and the way you adapt everything to the Cars world is still really awesome. Bubba’s bit about the cars in another universe made me think a little, too. But, of course, you’ve made him very hatable as usual. Hope you update again soon, and I think I may just try and get an update in, myself.
Glad you liked it so much!
I’m sorry I haven’t done many updates. I’ve been busy with school.
Eh, I’ve been super busy with school too. That’s why my updates take so long. This one was very worth the wait though. :3
Aww that’s really sweet!
