Golden light flooded Ornament Valley, as another morning rose on the small town of Radiator Springs. More than seven years have passed since the little Route 66 settlement's revival, and now the town has prospered, while still remaining a quiet and distant retreat from the stress and noise of the city.
From the newly-constructed garages right outside of town emerged three cars: Camran Mahmood, a dark green Land Rover Discovery who also happened to be a two-time Dakar Rally champion, and John and Elena Bachmann; a green tuned Mercedes SL and a beige CLS who were destined to inherit their father's multi-billion dollar company.
As they headed groggily towards the diner in the middle of town, none of them knew that they'd soon be embarking on a journey that is measured not in miles, but in years.

As the morning light flooded through the bedroom window of a certain black Dodge Viper, a groaned was heard from underneath the pile of nightcovers, which trembled a little bit, causing the pile to move as if it were alive.
"...Someone please turn off the sun... I need my beauty sleep..." came the muffled voice from underneath the covers.
"Ebs..." sighed a gunmetal grey Ford Mustang with blue and purple flames running along his sides and hood, "Now c'mon. It's morning and time to get up. You shouldn't be sleeping all day, you know. It's unhealthy."
A black nose poked out from under the nightcovers, "Boy, you take all the fun out it, Slate..."
"That's because I love you," Slaytor bumped his nose against his mate's and beckoned her out, "And because it's your turn to take the twins to school."
"Okay, okay," a black Dodge Viper sighed as she pulled out, "I'm up, now. Happy?"
Slaytor nodded and gave her a long, affectionate nuzzle and a couple of playful nips on her fender. This made Ebony smile.
"Let's go collect the twins and go to breakfast first," said Ebony.
"Sure," agreed the Mustang as he followed the Viper out of the bedroom, stopping at the bedroom that the twins, named Maven and Krill, shared and took them along with them to the diner.

Curled up between his parents the infant Vipes Am started to stir. Looking up at his parents he paw at his mother's side, he was hungry. "Mama."
"Alright little guy," Phoenix mummered as she started to wake up and slowly got to her. "I'm up, I'm up."

Boost yawned and stretched. "Yeah, Ebs said he's gonna do that for awhile, waking us up at any hour of the night for feedings."
~~~~~
Ebony and Slaytor, along with their seven-year-old twins, Maven and Krill, pulled into the diner. Flo, who still owned the business pulled up.
"Morning, Hon," the seafoam green showcar greeted Ebony, "What'll be today? The usual?"
"Hi, Flo," Ebony nodded a greeting back at the showcar, "Yep, you guessed it, Flo. The usual citrus infusion."
"I'll have orange," Slaytor piped up.
"Raspberry-banana, please," said Maven in a soft, polite voice.
"Grape," said Krill.
Flo nodded at each order, "Alright, I'll be back in a few minutes. Sit tight."
With that, the showcar turned about to fill the orders as more of the regulars came in for their usual breakfast.

"I know," Phoenix chuckled as she nuzzled her son. "Since we're up, ready for breakfast?"

"Sure, I feel as if I can eat a tractor," grinned Boost, "but don't let Frank know that I said that. Actually, I'm just very hungry and I bet Ebs and her family are there as well. We can meet up with them."

"Don't worry I won't," Phoenix said squirming into the carry harness. "And Ebs has always been an early riser."

Boost helped Phoenix into the harness and then strapped Chase in.
"Yeah, she always has been," agreed the purple Viper, "and that's an advantage for her when she has to take the twins to school."

"Yeah it is," Phoenix said as she headed towards the front door. "Ready to go?"
Chase meanwhile, squirmed and wiggled in his harness and pouted at his parents.

Boost waved his antenna in front of Chase.
"Yeah, ready," he nodded as he followed Phoenix to the front door and then opened it for her.

Phoenix smiled and pulled out onto the street and headed towards the diner.
Chase settled down and giggled happily when he realized where they were heading.

Ebony looked over as she saw a familiar Trans Am and another Viper pull up. She knew them well enough already.
"Hi, Boost," she waved, "Hi, Nix. How are you guys this morning?"

"Fine," Phoenix said as they pulled into a stall. "Chase is being a bit restless today."

"Oh, he's bound to in the first years," said Ebony knowingly, "He's looking for a way to expend all of that energy. I know that the twins were the same when they were his age."

"Oh what did you do with them," Phoenix asked as Chase started to squirm in the harness again, wanting to see his cousins.
