Hey, everybody! So, you guys voted, and asked me to write this story first. So here it is! And I'm starting this out as K+. The rating may change... But maybe not. Enjoy! :D

Edit: Hellu! For reasons you won't know for a while, I changed Abigail's name to Charlotte. DO NOT QUESTION ME LOL you'll find out soon enough...

"Oh, Lizze!" Lightning said as 'Find Yourself' started to play. Lizzie didn't appear to hear him.

"Lizze." He said again. She didn't respond. "LIZZIE!"

"What?" She said.

Lightning rolled his eyes, then smiled again. "Turn up the radio. I love this song."

Lizzie lifted a shaky tire and turned the volume up on the device.

"Why do you like this song so much, Stickers?" Sally asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" He smiled, then sang along. "When you find yourself in some far off place, and it causes you to rethink some things. You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else. And then you find yourself. When you make new friends, in a brand new town, and you start to think about settling down. The things that would've been lost on you are now clear as a bell. And you find yourself. Yeah, that's when you find yourself. Where you go through life so sure of where you're headin'. And you wind up lost, and it's the best thing that could've happened." He stopped singing and let the voice of Brad Paisley sing alone.

"Ahh." Sally said, nudging Lightning. "You got lost here, and now... Well..."

"Yeah." Lightning said. "To think, all because I got lost, I'm surrounded by friends, a beautiful wife..."

"Stickers..." Sally said, nudging him playfully and lovingly.

They sat listening to it for a minute.

"Well I think of Holley when I done here this part." Mater said, driving over with Holley, who were only a few feet away from Lightning and Sally.

"When you meet the one that you've been waitin' for, and she's everything that you want and more."

"But you were never lost, Mater."

"That ain't true, I found that I was done a fool." Mater said. "But I'm done okay with that. Plus, then I found Holley."

"Mater..." Holley said, smiling.

"All 'cause of this town!"

"Why's that?" Lightning asked.

"Because..." Mater took a deep breath. "If you hadn't gotten lost here, you'd had never made friends with all us, and met Miss Sally, and we helped ya won you're race, that you've been dreamin' about you're whole life, with the big sponsor and fancy helicopters you was talkin' about, and then later 'cause we helped ya become the bestest racecar in the whole wide world, I got ya inta the World Grand Prix, and that's where I find Holley."

"Well...that was...a very...long explination..." Sally said.

"I liked it." Lightning said, laughing.

"And now Holley ain't my imaginary girlfriend, she's my imaginary fiancé." Mater joked.

Holley laughed. "Mater, I don't care what Luigi and Guido said durring the World Grand Prix, there is nothing imaginary about me. Stop calling me that."

"Okie dokie, Holley." Mater said with his signature goofy smile.

Just then, Finn drove by. "Hello, Finn." Holley greeted.

"Oh, hello, Holley. Mater. McQueen. Mrs. McQueen."

"What about you, Finn?" Lightning asked.

"What about me?"

"Do you think of anyone when you hear this song?" he asked.

"No, no one comes to mind."

"Not your wife, or anyone?" Lightning asked.

"N-no, I'm not married."

"You gotta at least think of us, right?" Mater asked cheerfully. "You found us as friends, right?"

Finn smiled. "That's right." then drove away.

Sally waited until her was out of sight before saying. "Finn was never married?" just as 'Behind the Clouds' began playing after 'Find Yourself' ended.

"Nope." Holley answered. "Either he was always too wrapped up in saving the world and such, or he was happy by himself. He hasn't told me much about his past. Heck, he hasn't told anyone much. I'm sure the only ones who know anything about his past are Siddeley, and Leland."

"So why don't we asked them?" Lightning asked.

"Well for one thing Leland was killed years ago right before the World Grand Prix at the oil platforms before Finn could get there..." Holley said.

"Oh... Poor guy... What about Siddeley?"

"It'd be a bit rude to ask him to tell us things Finn may not want anyone to know, don't you think?" Holley said.

"Yeah, a bit..." Sally agreed.

The four of them sat in silence for a minute. Finally, Mater said, "Last one to Siddeley gets eaten by the Ghost Light." and they all sped off.
