Racers restart your engine!

Chapter 14

A few days later they were in Flo's just hanging out. Lightning was talking to Doc and Sally about what he should do next.

"Well rookie, it looks like you have enough for a little more." Doc said.

"And I'll still switch with you when you need me to."

"Ok, sounds good."

Lily opened her mouth for a second when the door opened.

It was Chick and Storm. The King was already there to visit Lightning and tell him he was doing good.

"Chick." Lightning said.

"Lightning, The King." Chick said back.

"Storm." Lily said.

"Lily." he said back.

"So what do you want?" Doc said.

"I'm gonna give Storm the season off and have a repeat of my own."

They all stared at him.

"What?" Lightning said.

"You're kidding right?" The King said.

Chick smirked. "What, you scared about having another crash?"

Lightning shut his eyes tight for a minute.

"I AM NOT SCARED! I MADE IT THROUGH EVERY SINGLE CRASH YOU DID SO I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS ALONE!" he yelled.

They were all surprised for a few minutes.

"Well we'll see about it."

Then he looked at The King.

"What about you? Still done or are we gonna have a repeat of his first season?"

The King bit his teeth and looked at his wife.

She nodded. "You're on."

The three racers stared at each other. Then Chick and Storm left.

"Lily, you're taking this season off." Lightning said.

She nodded.

"I'm gonna have to work really hard." Lightning said shaking his head.

"Same here Lightning, same here." The King said shaking his head to.

Doc and everyone else were worried. It was the first race of the season and The King, Lightning and Chick were in the starting line.

"Well would you look at that, three of the four well known racers are back."

"This will be interesting, the last time The King was here Lightning McQueen was a rookie. And by the look of things both Lightning and Chick are alone with this season and their kids are off the season. This will be an interesting season."

"Now let's hope there are no repeats of McQueen's rookie season and till both his and Chick's finale season."

Sure enough it started and everyone was surprised at the three racers are back.

(25) "Don't worry Lightning, you'll be fine. Pretend it's your own first season. And a real rookie."

"Ok Doc."

A few laps and Chick was starting to try and hurt people. Especially Lightning and The King. The three of them were in first place together.

"Well this is pretty interesting."

"I know."

Sure enough Chick was about to try and hit Lightning. But he was close enough to the wall to flip over him. He sighed and focused on his race. The King was even a little nervous about Lightning more than himself. When they were on the second to last lap Chick was close to Lightning and Lightning was in first while The King was in second. Then he felt something familiar. He was slammed into a wall for a second and gasped.

"You ok?" Doc said.

"Yeah, I think so."

When it was the end of the last lap the three of them were close but Lightning was winning and ignoring the pain. Finally he was done and just barely won. Chick was a mixture of furious and amazed that he could fight the pain through the race still. The King, Lily and Doc hurried over to him and were a little worried.

"You ok dad?" Lily asked.

He just stood there for a second and nodded.

"Yeah, he just got me in a bad spot."

He then slowly drove up and got his trophy.

"Well, this feels like a repeat of when I was a rookie myself. But harder after what I've been through since my second season."

He started and finished his speech. Later when they got home Doc fixed up Lightning and everyone else was quiet. When he was done they went to Flo's and told them about the race.
