Hello everybody, sorry it took so long, but I have just before my exams. But I will return to this story as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I hope you will still like this.

When Matthew woke up, he lied on his bed. His head was pulsing by pain. He sat up and rubbed it by a hand.

"That was a strange dream," he said quietly. "I remember I was in a world full of living cars."

He rolled his gaze next to him and he shuddered with surprise. Next to him lay a girl. She had a long dark violet hair, just as Holley's color was.

"My God," he whispered. "So it wasn't a dream. I am back. But what is she doing here?"

He tried to remember. Yes, he was in Radiator Springs and Finn prepared to send him back home. Then Holley rushed right in front of the beam.

"And she told me that I am foolish," he said with a smile. In fact, he was glad that she is here, although she will have the same problems that he had when he woke up in her world.

Holley shuddered a bit and opened her eyes.

"Where… where am I?" she said. Then she saw Matthew looking at her.

"Who are you?!" she shouted. She tried to jump up, but everything she did was a fall of the bed. Then she realized how she looks like now.

"What is this?! What have you done to me!"

"Calm down, Holley," said Matthew. "It's okay."

"No, it isn't! Who in the hell are you?!"

"Quiet, Holley. Don't you recognize me? Remember the photo I showed you when you met me."

Holley finally looked at him more carefully. "Matthew?" she breathed. "Is that you?"

"Yes," he smiled. "Come on, I will help you."

He lifted her slowly up to legs, but he must have supported her or she would fall again.

"What happened?" she said. "Who am I now?"

"You are a human just like me, Holley. Come here, sit down."

Holley looked all over herself repeatedly. "This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. What happened?"

"You drove right in front of the beam when Finn fired it. Why did you do that?"

Holley looked to the ground. "I remember now," she said. "I just didn't want you to go."

"So you came here instead," said Matthew. "That was foolishness. What will I do with you now? I must find that Frank somewhere and take care of you simultaneously."

"Are you mad?" asked Holley quietly.

"Of course not," he said. "But you must get used to our world just I got used to yours."

"But how can I even move without wheels and engine?" said Holley.

"Let's try it, okay?" He stood up and helped Holley to get on legs. "Now lift up one leg and put it in front of the other. Then transfer weight to it and lift up the rear leg and do the same again."

Holley tried it with his help. It was very strange to teach her how to walk, but he just returned a favor.

After a while, Holley was able to walk without his help. She looked all over his small flat.

"This is your place?" she asked. "It's pretty."

"I am glad you like it," smiled Matthew. "Because it looks like we will remain here for a while."

"What do you mean?"

"The transformation weapon remained in Radiator Springs," he said. "So until we find that Frank, we are hopeless to return. He must have the second one to send people to your world."

"I see," said Holley. "So what are we waiting for? Let's go find that Frank. I remember Zündapp said he lives somewhere in place called New York. Do you know where it is?"

"Yes. But there will be one little problem with that," said Matthew.

"What problem?"

"Look out of the window."

When Holley turned to the window, there was the biggest city she has ever seen. Multiple skyscrapers rose to the sky, and down in the street walked thousands of people. She looked at Matthew and realized that he has a bit of fear in his look.

"Is this what I fear it is?" asked Holley.

"Yes," said Matthew. "This is New York. Finding one person here will be almost impossible and I don't have a clue where to start."

"Gosh," whispered Holley. "What will we do now?"

"First things first," said Matthew. "I must teach you everything about this place, Holley, because it will be just as strange for you as you were for me, so listen carefully. I will start with the most important things for you. Our cars are not living creatures like you, so on the streets, don't speak to them, don't touch them, don't do anything you were used to do, okay? It would at least attract attention. In the worst case, you could be arrested."

"You have police here?" asked Holley.

"Of course," said Matthew. "Our world works just like yours, except those things I have told you about. You will see many similarities here, but, of course, many differences as well."

"This will be pretty hard," said Holley. "I just hope that I didn't make a mistake."

"Now it's too late to cry over spilt milk," said Matthew. "You are here for once and we need to adjust to it." Then he went into a milder tone. "However, we have some time to spend. I will go to the shop, you must be hungry. I bet everything I had here has rotted already. Wait for me, I am right back."

Matthew returned after a while from a close shop with a bunch of things Holley never saw before.

"What do you even eat, Matthew?" she asked.

"You will see," he said. "We have much wider menu than just oil and petrol."

There was a little cooker in the kitchen. Holley fascinatedly watched Matthew cutting and mixing some viands that she never saw before. After less than an hour, it was finished and Holley must admit that Matthew is a very good cooker.

"Where did you learn all that?" she asked.

"I live alone here, so I need to cook for myself," he said. "I learned it all from my mother."

"It's delicious, however, it's a bit strange to eat with this…" Holley looked at a spoon, which she was holding a little bit clumsily in her fingers.

"You will get familiar with that soon," smiled Matthew. "I bet you must be sleepy. Let's call it a day for today. I will start searching tomorrow. We must find some clue of that Frank."

"I just hope Finn and the others are okay," said Holley.

"Me too, but we have our own goal here. You know that better than me."
