Ok, so I didn't know where I was going with Turbo Love, so I decided to delete it, rewrite it as a Rio parody and post this! I hope you guys like chapter one...despite that it's a little short.

Rome

Chapter 1 – Turbo needs to come to Rome!

Every snail that lives in the small city behind Dos Bros Tacos, you know, the one actually meant for snails…anyway, the snails there are lucky to live in such a peaceful place, and not only is it nice and neighborly, but it's also the home of Turbo the snail that won the Indy 500.

Now, of course, F.A.S.T. was once again found racing each other out on the track while Chet would wait at the side lines, like he always does. But something…or rather someone…would make this day extraordinary.

Chet squinted down the track to see who the winner would be. This time, it was actually Whiplash to cross the finish line first and become the winner.

"Yeah, now that's how you pay the bills!" Whiplash cheered.

"Nicely done, Whiplash. You paid the bills…like a snail who, you know, has to pay the bills," Turbo complimented, but he's still bad at snappy come-backs.

"Hey, Turbo buddy!"

The said snail's head perked up when he heard Tito call him from him and his brother's taco stand.

"Be back, Guys!" Turbo called as he zipped off; wondering what Tito needed him for this time.

When Turbo did get to the taco stand in the Starlight Plaza, he was curious when he saw a pale, blue-eyed, energetic-looking, blonde young woman sitting with Tito at one of the umbrella tables. So Turbo had no choice but to zip up onto the table to investigate.

"Little Amigo, this is Doctor Elizabeth; she's Italian," Tito told the little snail, and he whispered the last part with a wink, "Doc, this is the racing legend and my best friend, Turbo!"

"Oh Tito, you don't need to be so formal; just call me Beth. And this is Turbo? Wow, what a magnificent specimen of Gastropoda," Beth said in awe as she gently scooped Turbo onto her index finger to examine him better, "Tito, do you know why I'm here?"

"Because you said you are a doctor of Entomology?"

"Yes! Let me explain. I've come from the other side of the world to tell you that we have been working on a VERY important project; we've taken a common female land snail and genetically modified her to become have unnatural sped, just like Turbo! But since this kind of modifying is somewhat dangerous and difficult, our hope is to bring the two together and breed a generation of fast snails."

Turbo's eyes popped wide, and his jaw dropped and hit the floor. But when he got what Beth just said through his thick head, he shook his head and gulped while blushing. But Tito was a little surprised at first too, but in a good way.

"U-uh…I guess that's a good idea…yeah! When will she get here?" Tito asked while purposely ignoring Turbo's desperate head shakes.

"What? Oh, no, no, no…Pam is in Italy; Turbo needs to come to Rome!" Beth replied with a huge, enthusiastic smile.

Now, it was Tito's turn for his jaw to go slack.

"Rome? A-as in the capital of Italy? As in the Italy on the other side of the WORLD?!" Tito kept raising his voice as he stood up from his seat; his eye slightly twitching, "oh man, I don't think we can do that. I mean, even when we do travel, it's never supposed to be too long; I have a taco career with my bro, and Turbo rather likes it here in California."

"Oh, don't worry; we'll make sure you're brother gets all the profit he needs, and that you can always contact him and your friends. Plus, Turbo will always be with you, and you will be with me."

But the last part that Beth stated made Tito accidentally choke on a bite of his taco; luckily, he was able to save himself by pounding his fist to his chest and soon swallowing.

"Look Senorita, I hate to turn down your offer, but-."

"Oh please, Tito! Turbo isn't ordinary! If this doesn't happen, then when will the world ever get another chance to experience such a mistake of nature!"

Turbo nor Tito could not believe what they were hearing.

"I'm sorry, Doc; it's been nice meeting you…but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave," Tito said calmly but while glaring at Elizabeth and leaving the table to throw away his trash, and with Turbo sitting angrily on his shoulder.

But Elizabeth started after them.

"No, please…look, just consider it," Beth pleaded as she grabbed out a business card, and Tito reluctantly took it; while Elizabeth then left wile sulking her head…and Turbo and Tito did feel bad as they exchanged worried glances.

Later that night, everything was supposed to be sound asleep…but Turbo was pacing back and forth in the Crew Pit while the rest of the team was sleeping.

"'Not normal'. 'Mistake of nature'," Turbo grumbled in a mocking tone, and then he stopped while looking at his reflection in a small mirror, "I may have super-speed, but I'm just as normal as any other snail…right? I can still climb up onto walls a ceilings; I've got big eyes on eye-stocks; I've got a shell; I'm slimy; I can't stand salt…so what's so bad about me?"

Turbo continued to stare sadly at his reflection, thinking that he should just go to bed…but then his face brightened up when he had a brilliant idea.

"I know! The Starlight Plaza's parking-lot should be empty at this hour; if I can just take my time, like a normal snail, to take a gentle slither all around the perimeter of the lot, then I'm sure to be a very normal snail!"

"Turbo! Will you shut up?! We're tryin' ta sleep!"

"Sorry, Whiplash!"

Sure, Turbo used his speed to get to the empty, cold parking-lot, he determined to get around it by only using the slowness he was naturally born with.

"I will NOT use my speed; not once! I am still a snail, so a snail I will be tonight! You're gonna bite your tongue, Beth!"

And with that, the confident snail slowly started slithering his way…only to get bored and groan in the next three seconds.

"Ok, I immediately regret this."

But then a huge truck was pulling into the lot, and it was driving right towards Turbo. But he snail was too frozen like a deer in the head-lights as the truck got closer. But Turbo was soon able to shake his head and sped away just in time while the truck came to a small, screeching stop.

The truck turned out to be Tito's taco truck, as the said big man came bursting out in worry and picking Turbo up while gasping with fear.

"Turbo, are you ok?! I didn't hurt you, did I?!" Tito asked frantically as he scanned Turbo for any injuries, but calmed down when he found none, "what were you doing out here, anyway?"

It was then that Tito knew what the problem was when Turbo looked away with sorrow and embarrassment.

"Oh…it was because of what Elizabeth said earlier, huh? Little Amigo, I didn't like what she said about you either, but I don't want to see you get hurt just by trying to prove her wrong…if you really want to go through with going to Europe and meeting Pam, then I won't stop you."

Turbo looked slowly up at Tito with wide eyes…and was smiling.

"Yes, I mean it, Turbo. We've traveled far before; what's different about Italy? And we'll be back home in California before you even know it."

Those who were reading and/or loving Turbo Love, I am sorry. I just didn't know what else I could do!

Anyway, hope you have seen and/or heard of the movies Rio and Rio 2 because this rewritten story is based off of Rio! So I hope you guys will like it!

Until the next chapter, I'm TRikiD, bye-bye!
