Cars (Pixar Movies)

“It’s not Lightning, by the way” the kid nearly whispers, picking at the frayed hem on the ankle of his sweatpants.Doc turns to look at him fully, “What’s not?”“My name.” He doesn’t make eye contact, refuses to even let Doc try to catch his blue eyes, “Harv had me change it when I started racin’ with him.”Doc knew Lightning probably wasn’t the kid’s god given name. He’d been around racing long enough to know the different monikers often helped give the racer a break from being the racer when they wanted a second away from it all. He hadn’t known Lightning to share that desire. Lightning McQueen was written in all the court documents from their first meeting, on every check the kid signed to revitalize the town, even the kid’s credit card held the moniker. He’d assumed somewhere along the line, the kid had changed whatever his birth name was to his chosen name. Never really felt the need to question it.“It’s Montgomery.” Lightning whispered.Or; Lightning may have bitten off more than he can chew with his new found fame. He thought he was ready to be THE Lightning McQueen, but will he ever not be Montgomery?
