,, 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.

SALLY'S POV:

,,hey Doc..." I came up to him slowly. I knew it would be hard to change his decision, but I for sure did not expect this whole situation to go this way.
,,what do you want Sally?"

,,oh ,come on, Doc! Let him fix the road. The town needs him and we won't be able to afford it! You know it'll destroy them!" He knew I was right. But he was so stubborn he couldn't see it.
,, it's a no Sally, I know his kind."
,, he's a racer he knows how to drive. And his car is destroyed, he can't get anywhere with it anyways."

,,what are you trying to say?"
,,that we'll tell him to fix the road in exchange for Ramon and Sarge to fix his race car."
,,no. This is not gonna work!"
,,you know, you're not giving me much choice choice here..."

,, people of Radiator Springs!" I said as I turned around to face them.
,,oh, here she comes again..."

I knew what to say to make them realize what they'll lose. Yes, the town's forgot, but that doesn't change the fact that they should at least have a road. I used the typical 'what will happen if you have to leave '. For some reason it's not the first time I had to use it. Of course I added my part of the plan into it. They were yelling at Doc to do something about it.

,,quiet! It seems like she changed my decision. You're gonna fix the road, until they won't fix your care!"
,,no! Oh, fucks sake! I'm so not taking you to dinner!" He exhaled angrily.
,, it's fine blondie, you can take Bessie."
,, Bessie, who's Bessie?!"

I was already walking out of the court room. I didn't meed to be anywhere near him longer than I needed to be. I got why Doc did what he did, but yet I couldn't help myself not to do it. I know it's gonna take him a lot of time and Sarge with Ramon will fix it quickly.

I saw Doc and Mater walking out with Lighting. Bessie was already parked beside the road. I went into Flo's caffé to take my mind off of this...

...

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 was destroyed so he couldn't even leave. So he happily sat in the old rusty machine and started thinking about a way to get away from this.

,, you're gonna start here where the road starts and finnish there where the road ends. Mater you're gonna look after him!"
,,oki dokie doc."
,, oh, great, just great..."

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 yapping about something. He 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!" He knew this was the end of him. He could not do this and he needed to. He could not let Chick win!

,,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 had done maybe 20 meters of the road and it looked terrible. Sally stopped him in what he was doing so he wouldn't destroy the whole road. The road looked like shit. It was all bumpy and crooked. And Mater came to get Doc.

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

MCQUEEN'S POV:

,,For fuck's sake what's your deal?!" That girl was driving me crazy! Why the fuck did she need to stop me?
,,the road's horrible! Did you even look at what you're doing?"
,,yeah well at least it goes with the rest of the town." The older fireman started crying and ran away as soon as I said it.

,, Red! Who do you think you are!?" She came closer to me, so I basically had to tower over her. I'm not that tall but she was looking up at me and I had to look down.

She wasn't afraid to look into my eyes this time. And the feeling went back instantly. The vibe she was giving of, I just knew it.

,,oh, come on we both know that some road won't change a thing in here. How did you even got here? A girl like you in a town like that?"
,, that's none of your fucking business! Do you thing that the people here will go crazy because of who you are Lighting? Because that will not help you here!" Oh, and the feelings gone. I just know it now.

,,look, Doc said that if I finish the road, I can go!"
,,the deal was to fix the road not destroy it even more. And you're cars not fixed yet! Scrape it of and start again!"
,,listen grandpa ... I'm not a builder, I'm a racer!"
,,oh wow! Is that so? Then why don't we just have a little race? You and me."

,, Doc, I don't think that's a good idea..." Sheriff said
,,you know what old guy? Let's race!" Oh, and I won. There's no way in hell that I would lose this.

...

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..."
