So I was reading a story and this came to mind. And why yes, yes it is my first story in my all time favorite movie fandom. Please enjoy!


It was a quiet day in Radiator Springs. The cars were going about doing their usual things, helping customers, tidying up, drinking oil. Even Lightning was having a quiet day. Doc was busy with patients, so he had the day off of practicing. Daring to take it was a whole other thing though.

It was about six when everyone was able to take a break. Except Doc. He busy cleaning up his garage with Lightning. It had only been two months since they had last cleaned it, but it looked like it had been two years. They had the same talk over it as always.

"Doc," began Lightning. "How do you ever manage to find anything in this mess? It's worse than Mater's junk yard!"

The retired race car snorted. "I don't use anything that gets put in here. That's how."

"Then why not just throw it away? The dump could use it more than you."

"Because rookie. It's important." Doc had said.

Then both cars had drove off, ready to clean out that garage. They usually would talk racing and nothing more. And then they usually had to go have Red rinse them off because they were covered in dirt. But McQueen was determined to ask Doc a certain question. One he had always wondered about.

"Doc, can I ask you a question?" the rookie asked.

Doc shot him a look that told him that if he didn't, he would be pestered till he did. Lightning just smiled, and asked away.

"You're last name... What is it? Hudson or Hornet? I've never was able to figure that out." McQueen spat out.

Doc was tooken slightly aback. This was not the type of question he had been expecting at all. A racing question? Yes. A question on his last name? Defently not.

He thought for a moment, not sure how to answer. "Hornet."

"Then why," Lightning asked. "Why does everyone use Hudson as your last name?Don't they know your name is Hornet?"

"I suppose not. I've never made it clear to them since someone went around telling them I was The Hudson Hornet. And I don't really mind ethier."

"Oh... Okay. I guess that makes since." Lightning nodded.

They worked on in silence for a few minutes, until Lightning had another question.

"Doc... Is Doc short for something other than Docter?"


And there you go! A short one-shot that I just had to write! And keep an eye out for more Cars stories by me. I have a feeling I might be writing here a lot. Reviews are so greatly appreciated! Thanks!
