"Looks like Mom invited just about everybody," said Stephanie.
*****
Ebony blinked and turned around as well, seeing the familiar white Superbird. She smiled, "It certainly has. How've you been doing, Darcy?"
*****
"Cool," the Viper twins said in unison.
Falcon nudged Gryffin excitedly.

"That does sound pretty cool," Gryffin said with a nod.

"Probably after presents," Gryffin said.

"I bet Steph has been wondering what everyone has gotten her," said Kestrel.

"I saw her eying the table," Gryffin said.

"Yeah, I bet Mom could pick up her excitement too," said Falcon.

"Bet Lynx is picking up the same thing too," Gryffin said.

"I've been all over the place the last couple of years." Darcy replied, "Goat and sheep wool is a big thing now and people want to get into farming them, so I've been doing a lot of consulting." She paused as another young throwback, a '62 T-bird male, came up beside her. "Johnny and I also have some news for you, and we wanted you to be one of the first to know. We've finally set a wedding date."
"I'm starting to wonder, who DIDN'T get invited?" Melissa shook her head in wonderment as half of Radiator Springs turned up along with McQueen's team and sponsors. She slid a glance back towards Stephanie, suspecting that the girl might be getting embarrassed by all this attention.

"And Arte too," added Kestrel, glancing at his timid sister, who was staying close to her mother, "Too bad she doesn't like crowds."
*****
Stephanie nodded as she watched all the guests arriving. "There's so many of them..."
*****
Ebony's face lit up, her tiredness and her strange feelings forgotten for the moment, "That's great! Congratulations! When's it gonna be?"

"Yeah," Gryffin said. "At least those two stick together most of the time."

"Yeah..." nodded Kestrel, "As opposed to us?"

"We're having an an early fall wedding, September 22." Darcy replied. "That's pretty close to my mother's birthday, and it's gonna have a harvest theme." She reached into a side panel with her antenna and took out a sachet of envelopes. "And I also wanted to give you your invitations in person."
"That's fantastic news, guys." Kendall smiled.
"Mom said that the racing teams and sponsors were helping out with food and drinks, so that's good." Melissa remarked. "Your mom is really well-liked by them."
A young woman, about twenty years of age, came over to Stephanie and her friends. Her light ash-brown hair and eyes of mixed green and amber eyes identified her as Zoe Gordon, in human guise. "Hey, Steph. So how are you handling all this attention?"

Ebony nodded, but she turned to her daughter, feeling that she needed to say something to her. "Arte, honey," she said, "Why don't you go play with your cousins? Wouldn't that be better than staying with me?"
Artemis shook her front, "No, there's too many emotions floating around and they're scaring me. I wanna stay with you."
"Um, okay..." said Ebony, "but we're talking about grown-up things and I'm afraid you'll get bored too quickly."
"Staying," repeated the Viper/NSX mix.
Ebony sighed, wondering what she was going to do with her daughter.
*****
Stephanie looked up at Zoe, "I think I'm doing okay. Mom's just invited alot of people."

"How about you go and spend some time with Lynx," Phoenix said looking over at where the Camaro girl was sitting off to the side, Iara had gone off to play with the other children.
~~~~~~
"Well we don't have room to talk there," Gryffin said.
