"Are you sure you're all right walking over here alone—" April exhaled exasperatedly, cutting her friend off as she crossed the street. "Donnie, I've told you a hundred times—I'll be fine! It's not even dark yet. Besides, I'm only a block away now. There'd be no point to you guys leaving the Lair just to 'escort me' back." "Well, it wouldn't be all of us, just…you know… me—" "Donnie," April interrupted, and any attempt at making her voice sound stern failed when she was unable to control the grin that slid onto her face. "Stop. Worrying. I'll see you soon—be sure to tell Mikey to have some popcorn rea

~One look is all it takes.~ Lightning/Sally __________________________________________________________________________________________ That first shared glance had meant so much more than it entitled. Sally had been speeding over the slim bridge, an amazing waterfall the same color blue as her paint cascading behind her, casting a rainbow of colors as sunlight hit it. Her tires spun smoothly over the faded asphalt, aqua eyes catching the light as she turned them towards him. Lightning had been silenced in thunderstruck awe. But the moments that followed only cinched it for him—the tale she told of Radiator Spring's former glory and

        Epilogue to 'Clarity'   The atmosphere was peaceful, the small town of Radiator Springs calm and   tourist free.   It was what many of the residents considered to be the 'off season' for   visitors, when the summer heat became too much for the out-of-town cars to bear.   The temperature dropped drastically during the evening however, leaving only a   cool breeze to waft through the settlement.   The silence and emptiness that had been abhorred only a few short years ago was   now a welcome change for both the permanent and non-permanent inhabitants of   Radiator  Springs, most of which were currently gathered a

Chapter Six: City Slicker ~Chicagoan streets 0330 Hours~ The fog was thick, but Finn managed to maneuver through it easily, humming the same French tune from earlier that night. The buildings around him were practically invisible behind the wall of chilled vapor, and less than a block away he could hear the lapping of water over by the docks. A foghorn bellowed in the distance. Fog lights activated, the spy car observed his surroundings—or what he could see of them. His humming echoed forlornly through the street, bouncing back in a rather portentous fashion. The night sky was only partially hidden above him, the stars wholly obscured

#50 of the 100 Theme Challenge -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Francesco Bernoulli hadn't really been looking forward to attending the Grand Prix party. The Formula One race car would rather be touring the city—truthfully, he'd never been even been to Tokyo before—there had been no need to. At the very least, he had the forthright ability to mock McQueen—even the stock car's own girlfriend had sided against him!—but other than that, he found next to no enjoyment having come from the festivities. It all just seemed like a scam for Axelrod to properly introduce every racer

Leland was having a little trouble wrapping his mind around what had just occurred. He'd been literally accepted into a super-secret agency, would apparently go on missions to preserve world-wide security, and he wouldn't even bring up the truckload of high-tech gadgetry he'd receive. The only hitch—he would have to go to school to do it. "What 'Academy'?" Leland queried skeptically, eye ridge raised as he peered over yet another desk (this one in C.H.R.O.M.E. Headquarters) at the Bentley Continental, who had yet to tell him his real name. "Well, you can't simply join C.H.R.O.M.E.," the elder car said as if it were obvious, leafing thr

Summary: The Valley's first, pure rain in decades. The Once-ler reflects. ------ The rain patterned against the faded woodwork in an inexorable pattern, the thunder above the land booming in a deafening cacophony, the downpour obscuring most everything in sight, mixing the hues like a drenched watercolor painted. The Once-ler stood at the open window in the room at the very top of his Lerkim, where the creaks and cracks were in the most abundance, letting in the frigid air from outside. He didn't give it any heed though, and instead simply peered through the glass with a melancholic air. The colorful tufts of the Truffula saplings stood out

Pirates! Band of Misfits (In an Adventure with Scientists) -The pirate with a scarf undergoes a slight change in appearance. - --- Being a pirate, one was due to know the dangers of such an occupation. No man came out unharmed from a length career of pirating, from the meekest cabin boy to the most buxom of pirate captains, whether it be a lost limb, or even a lingering limp. The pirate with a scarf, however, had long given up the hope of avoiding such injuries. "Ah, keeping your hands off that wound now, aren't you, Number Two?" The scarf-wearing pirate startled, glancing up, his hand still resting guiltily on the livid scar that, since

Madagascar 3: Alex barely knew his. Gia never had one. Three part oneshot -Alex/Gia- --- 01. Forgetting He was beginning to forget what his father looked like. His voice was nothing more than a faint memory, nearly gone, as was his home. His memories were a blur, like shoddy patches of film. He remembered heat… a burning sun, and a comforting voice above him. A crystal blue sky, and a large bed, two figures leaning over him. That was all that remained. Alakay…Alex was still young. Somewhere in the back of his mind he hoped that these memories would return anew, and he would go home, find his father—the only person he remem

Owed Transformers Prime/Rescue Bots Crossover ----- It was early Sunday morning when Cody detected the Cybertronian life signal on the mainland. Chase and Boulder had added the scanner to the command center's tech after their return from Moropolis, a case of paranoia in one and tactfully hidden caution in the other. The sensor's range extended all the way to the next state, just in case any other Autobots came near or happened to intercept Optimus Prime's message. In truth, they all knew it was a countermeasure against Decepticon attack. Cody had been alone in the command center when the scanner chimed, and the boy had nearly leapt out o
