,, what?! You know her?"McQueen asked confused.
,,yeah, she's the town's lawyer and my fiance."
,, your what?!"
,,just kidding. But she wishes. We know we're meant to be." Matter joked.

,,hey Doc..."
,,what do you want Sally?"
,,let him fix the road. His car has way more than enough horsepower to do it. Maybe it'll teach him a lesson."
,,I know his kind... it's a no."
,,you didn't really give me much choice." Sally said and turned around to face everyone.

,, people of Radiator Springs!"
,,oh, here she comes again!" Doc mumbled under his breath.

,,you know what this town was. The most known place on route 66 is now abonded, but how are you supposed to get people here if you don't have road?"

,, Flo what do you have in your shop?" She turned to older woman with turquoise waitress uniform on.
,,food and gas. A lot of gas." Mater was laughing with older guy sitting behind him. He had many tattoos.

,, Luigi what do you sell?"
,,tires!"small Italian guy said happily.
,, and what's going to happen if you don't sell any?"
,, I will have to leave..."
,, Flo what will happen to you if you won't sell anything?"
,, I will also have to leave!"

,,and what will happen to all of us if they leave?" Everyone started gasping a yelling that they need them.

,,so what do we want from him?"
,,to fix the road!"
,,cause you're a town worth fixing."

,, quiet !" Doc shouted.
,,it seems like she changed my decision. You're going to fix the road."

,,no!"McQueen said angrily ,, I'm so not taking you to dinner!"
,, don't worry you can take Bessie."
,, Bessie? Who's Bessie?"
,, wait till you see her! I would sell my left kidney for her!"

They went outside of the curt. Everyone kind of went back to their places what McQueen used to look around. Flo had a gas station and a dinner. Luigi and Quido had a tire shop. The older tattooed guy had a tattoo studio and something for cars. McQueen was just guessing it was car painting shop. There was an old woman who was in a souvenir shop. And two more guys, who were also pretty old. One of them was like a hippie and he had some organic stuff there. But he was also a hairdresser. And the last one was a veteran.

McQueen was thankfully not wearing his race suit anymore. He got changed right after the race, so he had all that stuff in his car. Another amazing thing...he was supposed to be sleeping in jail. Old rusty jail, that even rats are avoiding. His car had a boot and he was waiting for Mater to get it of. He also saw Bessie. Old, rusty machine that he was supposed to be working with.

,, you're gonna start here where the road starts and finnish there where the road ends. Mater hook him up!"
,,oki dokie doc."

Oh and was McQueen ready. The moment when Mater took his boot off of his car was the last moment he was planning on spending there. He automatically drive away as fast as he could.

,, I maybe should have hooked him up to Bessie first and then... Then take the boot of."

,,woooohooooo! Yes! Freedom!" McQueen was screaming from the top of his lungs.
,, goodbye Radiator Springs! Goodbye Bessie..."

He was going way over the speed limit. He was ready to get to California as fast as possible, but his car started to make some noise.
,,what?! God, no!no.no.no!"he saw he doesn't have any gas.
,,fuck!"

,,you didn't think we're that stupid did you?" Sally and Sheriff were on the edge of the road.
,,what?"
,,We drained your gas while you were unconscious."the sheriff said.
,, I'll go get Mater so you can start with the road stickers."
,,stickers?"
,,look at your car. You're branded more than any billboard." She said and walked towards to a car.

'She has a Porsche?!' McQueen thought to himself. How could someone from a town like that have a fucking Porsche?! Beautiful light blue Porsche.

McQueen was working for good half an hour. And yet he was still at the begging of the road. Mater was standing beside him and japping about something. His car was completely dirty and he was sweaty. He felt like he just finished a race. He had to keep his windows down so he didn't cook in the car.

The old lady, Lizzie, had the radio on.

,,hot news from California! It's been 5 hours since Lighting McQueen was supposed to arrive to the paddock and there's still no sign of him! His driver stated he has no idea where he is and how he could disappear! We asked the sponsors but they said he was fine the last time they saw him.

We asked Chick Hicks, one of his rivals if he knows something...

,, McQueen's probably scared! I can imagine that he would back out at the last moment, when he realized it's to much for him. If you ask me it's the best, I can take Dinoco for me."

,,hell no! Hey Mater! Let me get this straight. The deal is if I finnish the road I can go right?"
,,yes, that's what doc said."
,,okay. Outta my way, I've got a road to finnish!"

He went as fast as he could just to fix the cracks. Not even 30 minutes later he was done. The road looked like shit. It was all bumpy and crooked. Mater came to get Doc.

,, McQueen finished the road!"
,,but he only started a hour ago!"

,,yeah that's it, I'm done, you don't have to thank me. Just get this thing off and I'm gone." Mater's car was literally breaking down on the road.

,,it looks terrible!" Sally said angrily.
,,yeah well at least it goes with the rest of this town."

The fireman started sobbing and ran away.
,,Red!" Sally shouted to him.
,,who do you think you are?"
,,look Doc said I can go when I finish the road..."

,,The deal was to fix the road, not destroy it even more. Now scrape it and start over!"
,,listen grandpa, I'm not a buldozer driver I'm a racer!"
,,oh waoah...is that so? Then why don't we just have a little race. Me and you."
,, Doc..."sheriff tried to talk him out of it.

,,if you win I'll finish the road. If I win you stay here and finish it yourself."
,,you know what old guy? Let's race."

McQueen finally had a light moment. There was no way he wouldn't win this. He had the newest model of the car and Doc had an old car. Everyone came to a place that looked like a track but it wasn't asphalt.

,,speed, I am speed. Float like a Cadillac, sting like a beemer."

Luigi was standing on the start, giving them all the instructions. McQueen could see he was a Ferrari fan. As same as Quido. They were Italian and loved racing. McQueen blew Quido off with the offer of pit stop. Why would he need it? One quick lap and that's it. Easy win.

,,great idea Doc...now the road will never be fixed." Sally mumbled under her breath.

Luigi started them off. McQueen turned his engine on and got away as fast as he could. Doc on the other hand didn't even start. Almost everyone was surprised.

,,Doc start...you know what that means?" Luigi asked carefully.
,, Doc?"Ramon was actually concerned.
,,well it looks like a bad start... Mater you how your truck with you?"
,, I always have it."
,, we're gonna need it. Come on!"

McQueen was happy. He loved racing and any kind of it was amazing. But this was dirt not asfalt. And he discovered the difference pretty soon. Just in the first corner. He was trying to turn to one side, but his car spun to the other way and he landed right into the cactuses.

,, did you just fly like a Cadillac or sting like a beemer? Get him up Mater!"
,,fuck!"McQueen cursed under his breath angry.
,,you know I'm starting to think he knew what's going to happen!"Mater said.
,,oh don't say..."
