Alternating Current chapter 10

A/N: I do not own any characters from the Pixar movie Cars. I do own my own characters; Rafael, Fluke, Linda, Agneta, Voltz, Titania, Fahrenheit, Maximo, Sleipner, Galvani, Faraday and Louis.

I do not own Sønnico, I just work for them. Any likeness to real persons or events are just a coincidence, and a product of my imagination; NOT REAL.

Chapter 10:



Fluke drove side by side with Agneta, feeling her presense with his whole body. He glanced at her sideways. They had gone out to do something together, to get to know each other better. They had been at a movie, and in the dark, noisy cinema, she had taken his tire and squeezed it when the scary scenes rolled over the screen. He hadn't been able to focus on the movie after that.

But now, she was like normal again, not showing him any interest beside being a good friend. Nothing more, nothing less.

"So… where do you want to eat?" he asked.

Agneta was thinking for a little while. "How about the Blue Palm?"

"The most romantic restaurant in town… good choice." He blinked and smiled as she blushed red.

They started driving. Agneta bit her lip and then dared to take his tire. It was warm and dry, not wet and nervous like most boys she had been with before. Fluke was the first guy she had felt comfortable around. He had told her how she felt about her, but did not try to push her into anything or persuade her to go to bed with him. If she was ever going to get involved with someone, it had to be someone like Fluke Thorn… if only she could get over Rafael… she hoped that if she spent a lot of time with Fluke, maybe he would occupy her mind instead of Rafael.

Her pistons skipped a beat as she saw a red corolla outside the restaurant, with a black Tesla by his side. She cursed. Why did he have to show up now? Now that she and Fluke had such a nice time… she would not be able to give Fluke the attention he deserved now that Rafael was in the same room.

Fluke also saw Rafael and cursed too, knowing that Agneta still would have given everything she owned and more to be with the red corolla. His eyes scanned the restaurant to find a table as far away from them as possible, but to his dismay the waiter placed them not far from each other, just a few tables between them.

Agneta hurried to position herself with a good view to Rafael, making sure she could see him perfectly. Fluke sat down at the other side, so for a moment, she was able to focus on him and smile to him. He smiled back, but she could see that he felt uncomfortable. She forced herself to move her thoughts away from the red corolla behind him and met his stare instead.

"What do you want, Agneta?" Fluke said and gave her a menu.

"I'll think I'll go for the peppersteak." She said and poured some water in her glass, drinking slowly. Not able to keep her eyes from wandering to Rafael again.

Fluke sighed and folded the menu. "I'm not so hungry, so I think I'll just take a fruitsalad."

Agneta shook her hood and looked back at Fluke again. Her mind was a mess, so she searched desperately for something to talk about. Ask him things… get to know him… but the annoying red corolla did not leave her alone.

Fluke leaned his hood on his front tires and looked at her. "So… miss Mac Kenzie. Tell me a little about yourself. Where do you live? What do you work with?"

Agneta smiled, and forced herself to look into his eyes. "With Rafael."

Fluke raised an eyebrow.

"Err… I mean… in the same town as Rafael's brother… uhh… Radiator Springs." she stuttered.

"Ok… it's a nice place?"

"Uhum.. very nice… view…" her eyes landed on Rafael's butt as he drove past their table towards the buffet.

Fluke gritted his teeth, but managed to shut up. The jealous burned inside him. The waiter placed their food in front of them.

"You have a job?" he asked then, watching her as she started cutting her steak.

"Yes, I work as an IT-supporter for Rafael… Uhh.. sorry… for Nordea! I work as an IT-supporter for Nordea." She blushed as she once again had to correct herself.

Fluke clenched his teeth together so hard it felt like his jaw was going to break. "Sounds interesting… You like your job?" he stabbed a strawberry brutally with the fork.

"Yes…" she looked down at the plate, blushing. "And what about you? How is Sønnico?"

"The best place a car can work. All the electricians come along pretty good, and the work is interesting... How about Nordea? Worked there long?"

"A few years…" she glanced over at Rafael. "And you?"

"You look kinda stressed… anything wrong?" Fluke couldn't resist to ask. He knew very well who was pushing her out of balance.

"What? Uhh… no nothing wrong…" She blushed as she put her fork in her mouth, but it was nothing on it.

Fluke shrugged. "Well, I've been working for Sønnico since the beginning of my career." He looked at her clumsy attempt on eating. "There is nothing on your fork…"

Agneta blushed deep red and stabbed a piece of meat with her fork. Her eyes wandered off to Rafael again. "Uhh… yeah… sounds good…"

"You're not really listening to me, are you?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

She moved her stare back to him. "What? Of course I listen! You work or Sønnico… and you have a career, right?"

"Hmm…" Fluke chewed on a piece of apple. "You have any hobbies, Agneta?"

"I like to be outside. Sometimes i am reading books or just watch the nature. I secretly like to make nice Photos of landscapes" she smiled to him.

"Sounds nice… what books do you read?"

"I'm quite random with them… the one I read now is about Paris."

"Nice. Ever been there?"

"No… but I wish…" her eyes landed on Rafael again by the thought of being in Paris with him. She sighed and blinked to the corolla.

"You do, huh?" Fluke followed her stare, feeling the jealousy burn like acid inside him. "So… I guess you like the view?"

"Oh yes…" she mumbled while letting her stare wander over Rafael's body. Then she shook her hood. "Hey! Wait! What do you mean?" she met Fluke's stare, seeing the fire in his eyes.

Fluke snorted and pushed his plate away. "I think I've had enough…"

He stood up and started driving to the exit. "Enjoy your view… I mean meal!"

Then he drove outside, not looking back.

Agneta blushed deeply red as she realized why he had left in such a hurry. She could have slapped herself. Why wasn't she able to control herself when Rafael was around?

She heard Flukes engine rev outside as he speeded up and drove away. She sighed and looked down at her plate. Fluke had already paid for it… it would be a waste, just to leave it halfeaten.

But she didn't fully enjoy it as she sat back down and finished it.

Titania was laying on her roof in the soft bed, while Voltz was picking her exhaust apart to replace it with a new one. She smiled as she felt his soft tires on her undercarriage, even if it was in a non-sexual way. How amazing it would have been to… she stopped her thoughts before she finished them. She bit her lip, spreading her rear-tires to make sure Voltz could get a nice, good view straight "home".

Voltz felt both uncomfortable and a bit aroused as he forced himself to focus on the exhaust. Exhaust only… nothing else…  he dropped the damaged part on the floor, and reached out a tire for the new one, which Kat was holding towards him. He smiled to her thankfully. It helped to have her here… it was a lot easier to keep focus on what he was doing.

Katarina saw how Titania was trying to tempt the Mitsubishi and rolled her eyes. How low was it possible to sink? Spreading her tires like a common prostitute…

Voltz placed the new part in place and fastened the bolts. It was almost impossible to ignore the tempting bodypart between her rear-wheels. But he had to. He drew in air and breathed out slowly between his teeth. Focus… do not look down… breathe in… breathe out… one bolt… then the other…

Titania secretly stroke his side, when Kat was looking another way. She smiled as he twitched under her touch. He was fighting himself now… she knew it. It almost made her laugh out loud. If only Kat hadn't been here… she knew he wouldn't have been able to resist then.

Voltz pushed her tire gently away, and then turned back to the work. Now he had to start on the axle. It would be a lot more painful operation. He grinned. Titania wouldn't be able to focus so much on seducing him then…

Katarina smiled to him as she saw him push Titania's tire away. She had seen how he was struggling as the white Hilux had put more and more effort in seducing him. 1-0 to me, Titania… she grinned to her.

Titania glared back, but in the same moment, she cried out in pain. "Ouch!! What the hell was that for?!" she yelled and slammed a tire in Voltz side.

"Do you want this axle repaired or not?" he hissed back, and put on more weight to loosen a bolt.

"AHHHHH!!!" Titania screamed.

Katarina held her tires over her sideview mirrors to protect them from the sound. For a moment she felt extremely sorry for her rival. It must be painful, since Titania didn't look like the type of girl who would cry for nothing. She bit her lip, and then drove to the bathroom to find some painkillers and filled a cup of water. Without a word, she held it to Titania.

Titania didn't say anything as she took the pills and swallowed them down with water, but she was thankful to the Mazda. It almost felt bad to try stealing her boyfriend…
