This is a story I'm re-uploading :) I had it on here before and I'm re-posting it.

Hope you enjoy.

Cars 2 is really amazing by the way.

Lightning's big race was today.

"Speed…I am speed…one winner…two losers. Speed…speed…speed."

His voice began to trail off as he started to think of the folks…of his family, back in Radiator Springs.

Suddenly banging from outside the trailer woke Lightning from his daydream.

"Hey Lightning! Ya ready?" Mac asked from outside.

"Yeah, Yeah im ready." He replied stuttering.

"Hey, thanks for being my pit crew today."

"No problem, it's the least I could do, after all gas can is my middle name."

"It is?"

"Ah, not really."

Lightning got into his car and drove to the starting line along with Chick Hicks and The King, Strip Weathers.

"Hey McQueen, where ya been? Ya know it's been kinda lonely. No one to hang out with, well except Dinoco. Hey remember the twins? Ya know the ones that used to be your fans and now their my fans? Well listen to what they think…."

Chick kept babbling on and on, but Lightning lost him. A vision of Sally smiling a beautiful smile at him, came into his mind.

That's when suddenly the race began.

Lightning being distracted didn't notice and got a little behind, but he caught up only to be pushed back again.

Lightning wasn't doing to good. Every time he would catch up, he would just get kicked back behind the king and Chick.

That's when Mac finally contacted him.

"Hey kid, you ok?"

"I don't know Mac, I…."

"I didn't come all this way just to see you quit."

"Guys you're here!"

"I didn't really have a choice, Mater didn't get to say goodbye."

"Goodbye! Ok im good"

"haha"

Lightning pulled into the pits, stopped and smiled at everyone.

"Ok kid, if you can drive as good as you can fix a road, then you can win this race with your eyes shut. Now get back out there and get that lap back!"

With that said by Doc, Lightning took off as fast as his car would go.

Lightning eventually got his lap back and the race was coming to an end. Chick and the King were behind him.

"Oh no old man, I am not coming behind you again!"

Chick then rammed into Strip's car sending him through the air and crashing in the ground.

Suddenly the crown went quiet. Lightning, who had been smiling, noticed this and turned to the big screen.

What he saw sent chills down his spin. He then slammed on breaks right when he was about too pass the finish line.

Chick flew past him yelling and cheering, but no one cheered along.

"What's he up to Doc?" Asked Flo.

Doc then smiled, knowing exactly what he was gonna do.

Lightning put his car in reverse and began backing up. One he reached The King, he stopped and got out of the car.

He then walked over to Strip's car window, took his seatbelt off, removed his helmet, and pulled his injured body out of the car.

"What are you doin' kid?" He asked with a weak voice.

"I think the king should finish his last race." He replied back smiling.

He then put his arm around the King's waste, and put Strip's arm around his shoulder for support. He then began walking with the king to the finish line.

"You know you just gave up the Piston Cup." The King stated.

"Ah, some grumpy old race car once told me something, it's just an empty cup." Lightning said smiling.

Doc smiled in return.

"Darrel, is walking across the finish line legal!" Bob asked shocked at the site.

"Ah, there not really walking, Lightning is just being the nice little boy who helps the old man cross the road that's all."

When they finally passed the finish line, the whole crowd began cheering. Chick was VERY confused.

Doc couldn't be happier at the site.

"That's my boy" He muttered under his breath.

There's my story. Again, this is a re-upload. I wrote this myself.

Hope you liked it.

Going to go watch Cars now :) (Really want to see Cars 2 again.)
