*Smiles and waves* Hi! Fabulous Cars Crazy Fudge here with a new-old story. While trying to update this, I stuffed up really bad and figured the easiest thing to do would be take it down and re-post it. So, that's what I've done and now it's back again! Enjoy (again!)

Before we begin, I'd like to explain something. My OC Fudge is in this, but it's not related to my other stories. Due to conflicting timeline with my story, Ride, I have decided to make this story AU, but still leave it up because this is one of my most popular stories. However, if it was canon, it would be two years after Cars 2 and Fudge is thirteen years old in this one

So, without further ado, here is Vacation Crashers

Vacation Crashers

Chapter 1- Gettin' Ready (Fudge's POV)

I was so excited. Two whole weeks in Florida! Surrounded by famous race cars, spy cars and, of course, my best friends in the whole wide world. We were leaving in the morning to start driving down there. As much as I love flying, I was pretty happy to be driving. It would give me a chance to see the country. There were so many places and things in the world I haven't see yet that I really want to.

However, in the meantime, I still had packing to do. I'd already packed four or five T-shirts, two pairs of shorts, one pair of pants (I know I'm going for two weeks, but I don't care an awful lot about clothes, okay? Besides, I was gonna be on the beach for a majority of the time), a pair of pyjamas, my bathing suit and two pairs of shoes. Now, what else did I need? Towel! I made a beeline to the bathroom where I grabbed two towels as well as shampoo and conditioner. On my way back, I almost smacked right into Luigi!

"Sorry!" I apologised quickly

Luigi smiled. "It is okay. I see you are excited."

"I am!" I agreed. "Florida is gonna be awesome! But I'm actually kinda in a hurry. I still gotta finish packing!"

Luigi laughed. "Why did you save it until the last minute?"

"Luigi! You know I hate packing!" I shrugged. "I'm almost done anyway."

The Fiat nodded. "Okay. Guido and I will be at Flo's if you need us."

It was my turn to nod as I made my way back to my room. "All right. I'll join you guys over there when I'm done."

Luckily, I didn't need too long. I just packed a couple of books, sunscreen, my journal and a pen to go with it and I was done. After zipping up my bag, I leapt up and practically flew across the street to Flo's.

"Hi, Fudge", everyone greeted me.

"Hi." I took my usual place on the floor next to Luigi.

"You excited, Fudge-O?" Lightning questioned.

I grinned as I nodded. "Yep. We're gonna have so much fun!"

"Yeah you are", Sally agreed.

"Are you sure you're okay with me going without you, sweetie?" Lightning asked worriedly.

I should point out that not all of us were going. Luigi, Guido, Lightning, Mater, Sarge, Fillmore and I were the members of Team McQueen were going and all of the other WGP racers would be there too (and maybe their crews? I wasn't sure) along with Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. They were all on vacation too.

"Stickers, have I ever not been okay with you going away?"

"Well, no", Lightning replied.

""Exactly! It's fine."

"Well, I am away from home a lot…" Lightning reminded her awkwardly.

"Come on, Stickers. I'll be fine", Sally assured him. "You just go and have fun."

"Yeah. That's what we're going for, right?" I pointed out.

"Yeah…"

"Hey! D'you think we'll get to go to Disney World?" I wanted to know eagerly. I love/em theme parks.

"Yeah!" Mater agreed. "We gotta go there!"

Lightning laughed. "We'll see. It's definitely a possibility."

"Sweet!" I cheered.

This vacation was looking even more promising than before.

"Hey, Fudge! Come on!" Lightning called from the front entrance of Casa Della Tires.

"Coming!" I hollered back, making my way down from my bedroom to the door.

"Everyone else is ready to go", he informed me. He gave me a teasing grin. "Why does it take you girls so long to get ready?"

"I've been ready to go for half an hour", I replied, imitating his grin. "I was just waiting for you to be ready!"

Lightning laughed. "Yeah right."

"Yeah, that is right!"

"Twenty minutes of goodbyes later, we were really ready to go.

"Who took so long to get ready that time?" I teased, hopping into Mater's truck bed- my ride to Florida. I'd needed less than five minutes to say goodbye to everyone. Lightning took up fifteen saying goodbye to Sally.

You know, I'm gonna miss her."
We're only going for two weeks", I reminded him. "Not two decades."

"What do you know?" Lightning retorted. "You're only thirteen. You've never been in love."

"Touché", I responded as we began moving.

We townsfolk called things back and forth to each other and waved for as long as we could. But eventually, all the buildings and cars of the town melted together. My heart leapt. We were on our way.

And that's chapter one. Not bad, but not great in my opinion. It should get better (I hope, I hope) cuz I got a couple of funny stuff planned for later chapters. Please read and review. I'd really appreciate that cuz I'd love to hear what my readers think so far. As much as I wish I did, I do not own Cars. So far in this story, I only own Fudge. I don't have any other OCs planned, but I don't wanna eliminate the possibility just yet.
Hope to see ya back here for chapter two. Fudge.
