I do not own Cars or the excerpts of the songs used in this fic.

It is a Thursday night in the little town of Radiator Springs during the racing off-season. The town is fairly quiet, apart from the music that can be heard coming from Flo's V8 café for the town's weekly caraoke night. Inside are the town's residents and a few honorary residents; namely, the super spy cars Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. Currently, all attention is on the former as the other cars had convinced him to take his turn at singing.

Two cars are missing from the crowd though. Lightning is in the bathroom at the café, trying to calm down a very nervous Mater who has gotten to the point where his parts have started to rattle.

"C'mon Mater, it's not that bad. Trust me, I've been through it," Lightning says.

"I-I know buddy. But wha' if she says no? I don't wanna look like ah fool… y'know… again," the tow truck says.

"Mater, that was over two years ago now. And you and Holley have been dating since then. I really doubt she's gonna say no now!"

"I guess. I'm jist so gol-durn nervous!"

"Yeah, I know how ya feel Mater…" Lighting says, thinking back to his own engagement. The two cars lapse into silence and Finn's singing can be heard through the walls. Finn is singing "Don't Stop Believin''" surprisingly well for an older British spy car.

"Hm…" Lightning says, "Mater, I think I have an idea…"

Lightning and Mater drive back into the main room of Flo's just as Finn is finishing his turn at caraoke to the sound of the residents honking their horns and cheering for the now very embarrassed looking spy car. Finn drives over to the counter to get a quart of oil as Lightning joins his family at one of the tables.

"So…?" Sally asks.

Lightning grins. "I think we're good to go."

"Whoo! Alright y'all, who's gonna come up next?" Flo asks the cars.

"Uh, I will Flo! I got me ah song I wanna sing," Mater says as he drives up to the stage. Using one of his front tires, he scrolls through the list of songs until he finds the one he wants. Before he hits play, he looks at Holley and gives her a small smile.

Over the speakers, Brad Pilot's Nobody's Fool comes on. Mater takes a deep breath and starts to sing along, looking at no one but Holley.

"I wanna make ya laugh,
I wanna make ya smile,
I wanna feel like I belong to someone
I'm nobody's fool
It ain't no fun anymore
Cause now that I'm nobody's fool
I wanna be yours, yours..."

As the song ends, Mater drives off of the stage and to Holley. "Miss Holley…I know I ain't the hand-some-est car in da world and I ain't da smartest but I was wonderin' if ya would…marry me?"

Holley's eyes widen in surprise before she composes herself and simply says, "Yes."

The gathered cars cheer for the newly engaged couple. Finn, though, just gives a smile when Holley looks at him. Once she looks away though, it is replaced by a frown. He has told Holley, among others, time and time again how dangerous friendships can be in their line of work. I suppose there's no stopping those two though, he thinks. Finn is an admittedly older car but in the years he has lived, he has seen few couples as much in love as Mater and Holley. Finn, like many others, is baffled at the combination. A British born-and-raised super spy and a rusty tow truck from Route 66 falling for one another seemed nigh on impossible.

I suppose that there is some truth to that old saying. Opposites really do attract.

A/N- Well, there you have it! My take on how Mater and Holley get engaged. Thanks to everyone who suggested titles for this story, but I looked at the Cars 2 soundtrack to see if there were any song titles that Mighty ANT hadn't used and I found the song Mon Coeur Fait Vroum (My Heart Goes Vroom). If you have seen Cars 2, it is the song that plays while Mater, Finn, and Holley are in Paris.

Let me know what you think... review!
