A Girl Who Races

Meeting New Friends

The next morning Amelia meets everybody at Flo's.

"Hey A." Mater says lifting his tire in his best attempt to wave. "That's funny right dere. Hey, A" Mater goes on as he laughs.

"Hey girlie, you hungry?" Flo asks from beside Ramone.

"Oh yea starved, could I get some oatmeal please. Oh and don't forget the raisins!"

"You bet!" Flo replies as she drives into her shop.

"I hear you beat McQueen in a race last night." Sheriff says.

"Ha, not only did I beat him but I absolutely crushed him." Amelia says as she walks up beside McQueen and puts her forearm on his hood, she leans against him with an overconfident stature.

"Crushed me, please." McQueen rolls his eyes as he bumps Amelia, she's forced to take her arm off his hood. "You're bumper was only a few inches in front of mine, and it only took you all day."

"Ok fine! I didn't quite crush him. But! I still won." Amelia says with a firm nod. She can't help herself but describe the entire thing to the others, using her hands as examples of the cars, she is interrupted by Doc when he rolls up into the gas station.

"Hey, Kid." Both McQueen and Amelia turn to him since he calls both of them kid. "Not the red one. The other one." Doc chuckles as Amelia comes over to him.

"Yea Doc."

"I've called your pit crew, they're going to come by today to practice with you and just get to know you."

"Oooo really?! Ok!"

"Now let's finish your story of how you 'absolutely crushed McQueen."

"She only won by a few inches! On her 40th something time!" They hear McQueen calling back as he leaves Flo's. Amelia and Doc laugh.

Later in the day, Amelia is checking over Tsunami, she has a bucket and a hose for cleaning the outside of her car, she is soaked from the water bouncing off the car, her blue jeans and purple tank top very wet, not sagging with weight as of yet. When she finishes with washing her car she moves to the engine, Doc told her earlier that she needs to do a checkup before and after every race to keep Tsunami in tip top condition, he also told her to change the oil. They aren't sure when the car had its last oil change, just to be on the safe side. 

Amelia backs Tsunami into Docs garage to do the oil change, she has to use two car jacks for her to be able to get underneath, plus some wooden planks just in case the jacks collapse on her.

"Your emergency brake on?" Doc asks as she rolls under her car on the board.

"Yep."

"Good."

A couple minutes later, Doc sees a truck, a small forklift, and Jakob, the boy Amelia and McQueen had met earlier this week. They're looking quite confused as to whether they got the directions right. "Good looking crew if I do say so myself."

"What!" Amelia squeals. "They're here?!" As she comes out from under her car. The oil is draining into bucket so she can leave that for awhile.

"Why don't you go introduce yourself." As Doc sees her go running out of the garage he can see that she's covered in dirt and oil, she has streaks along her arms and even a little smudge on her cheek. Doc chuckles.

"Hey guys." Amelia says as she comes up to the bunch.

"Hi Amelia." Jakob replies.

"Um you got a little something on your cheek hun." The forklift who is also a female points out.
