Ramone from Cars - Selective

[streetxcatarchive]

      HER LITTLE FINGERS REMAINED CLUTCHED AROUND HIS, tilting her head up to listen to him.  At his smile, Sarah broke into a smile of her own, unable but to be happy when she saw others happy.  This guy seemed like a nice man.  Ms. Magarine had warned the kids of dangerous men, but this guy surely wasn’t one.

                   “Nice t’meet you, mister Ramone.”  She swung their hands some as they reached the stand.  Brown-green eyes returned to him again, bright with life.  “I’d like chocolate on cone, please!”

Ramone nodded at the man at the ice cream stand, who served up the ice cream and handed it over to Sarah. Ramone paid for it and gently led Sarah to a nearby bench.

“You sit here and enjoy that, and Ramone’ll make sure no more nasty kids come up and make you lose it,” he promised as he sat down.

                     “Hooooo boy; nervous all the sudden.                       “Just a small-ish one – right here. On the right side.” She pointed right underneath her bosom, on her ribcage.

Ramone nodded. “Okay, then, man, take off your shirt, and we’ll get to work.” He smiled gently at her, hoping to convey that she should be comfortable - it’s not like he was a rookie, after all.

And he’d seen many breasts in his lifetime. It had excited him when he was younger, but not so much now.

             “RIGHT, bath.  On it.  Wait here.”  With a vroom, Lightning sped over to Red and politely asked him to give him a quick hose-down.  The water was cold and he spluttered the whole time while being sprayed, but he soon returned to Ramone, dripping wet.  “Okay… paint job time.”

[ramxne-blog]

“Gotta get you dried off first, man. Paint doesn’t stick to a wet surface.” Cue Ramone leading Lightning to the GIANT FAN in the back room of the shop. He flicked it on and backed away from the air flow.

               “W-hoa there, Ramone! Let’s take a minute, yeah, and just slow down. See? Relaxing, isn’t it? I barely caught anything you said. Now take deep breaths. Everything is fine.” Sally rolled her eyes at the other, laughing just a bit. “As cheesy as this is probably going to sound, I’d like the Route 66 sign.”

[ramxne-blog]

He took a deep breath, still feeling giddy about the whole thing. 

“Route 66 sign, coming right up!” Ramone said, getting his tools out. “Where do you want it?”

         YOU CAN’T SAY LIGHTNING HADN’T TRIED.  He at least named a flower, right?  Or, at least, he hoped that they had been a type of flower.  To say he was a florist either would be a huge mistake.  “Sounds like a plan…”

[ramxne-blog]

“Okay then, man, let’s go!”

[fliirtatiious]

                              Was she thinking of getting a tattoo? MAYBE. It                               would certainly freak her father out, and that was                               perfectly good reason to get one in her opinion.                               Her eyes looked up at the shop owner, a smile of                               her own LIGHTING UP on her face.             “ Hello, and thanks– So… What kind of stuff do                you have here? ”

[ramxne-blog]

“I do all kinds of art, man. Here,” he said, leading her to the books that had examples of the things he could do. “You flip through there. If something catches your eye, let Ramone know. Or you could suggest something new. It’s no big deal.”

[coronian-a]

                             Rapunzel clutched her portfolio in her arms and gave him a small smile. ❝Yes, I’d love to. It’s always great to get a second opinion right?❞ she asked with a small laugh. She followed him into the shop and looked around with a smile.

[ramxne-blog]

Ramone nodded eagerly. “Si, it is,” he replied, gesturing the wall he’d dedicated to his paintings. “This wall is my paintings. The rest are my parent’s.”

       SHE GAVE A SMALL NOD at his words, watching him carefully and sniffling once more.  Hands reached up and wiped hair from her face where brown locks were starting to stick to her cheeks, betraying the fact that a few small drops had made their way on out from her eyes.

                  When he stood, she scrambled to her feet so that she could be alongside him.  Tiny fingers reached up to wrap around one of his fingers, a weak smile appearing suddenly.  “Yes’sir, I worked hard t’get all the money for tha’ ice cream,” she started, suddenly bouncing on her toes.  “You’d buy me a new one?  Thank y’sir, thank y’very much!  My name’s Sarah.”

[ramxne-blog]

Ramone held her hand, smiling gently. “Yes, I will. It’s nice to meet you, Sarah. I’m Ramone,” he introduced as he walked with her back to the ice cream stand.

He hated seeing kids so upset. Especially over something that had been cause by another kid. Ramone was more than happy to buy her another ice cream.

[streetxcatarchive]

     THE SOUND OF SOMEONE NEARING caused Sarah to duck her head, scared and ashamed.  She didn’t know why – there wasn’t much of a reason to be.  But she was…  Perhaps because she shouldn’t be out there on her own.  It was dangerous for a little girl like her.  But all she had wanted was some ice cream…  And now she had lost that.

              When the man spoke, she tilted her head up ever so slightly, just enough to look at him.  Then she nodded, sniffling while her fingers came together and began to thread together nervously.  No words left her, but she soon peered up directly at the man, eyes watering still.  Then she pointed at her ice cream while a single tear dripped out.

[ramxne-blog]

“I see. He knocked your ice cream down,” he commented, hoping that he was conveying that he was listening and not just repeating what she was “saying”.

“Well, I guess I’m just gonna have to buy you a new one, eh?” he said with a soft smile, standing back up. He winced as his knee popped again. “It doesn’t cost very much, and you look like you worked hard for that ice cream to be so upset, niñita.”

                   “SOOOOOO I have a confession to make. I kind of, maybe, a little want a new tattoo?”

[ramxne-blog]

Ramone grinned and whooped excitedly. “Oh yeah, I finally got through to you! What do you want, huh? Ramone will do anything, anywhere, and at no cost for the best daughter in the whole world!”

                    SHE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE at the park.  No, the little child was really supposed to be back at the orphanage – getting ready for nap time.  However, she had finally collected enough change to afford an ice cream cone from the small stand in the park.       So she had figured it wouldn’t hurt to venture there for a snack.

                      Little scarred knuckles held the cone, bright smile painted on her features until a collision happened.  The teen boy didn’t glance back or say sorry before continuing on his way,    the five year old child now sitting on the ground and cold treat splattered a foot or so away from her.

          Tears welled at her eyes but she tried to hold back the desire to cry.

[ramxne-blog]

Ramone had seen that happen. He had been about to go grab the boy and make him apologize, but the little girl’s face stopped him. She looked like she was trying very hard not to cry. Why was she out alone, anyway?

He came over and knelt beside her, wincing as his joints creaked. “Hey there,” he greeted softly, watching her carefully. “That little boy was mean to you, huh?”

Was that what he thought it was? A customer? Holy engine oil, there was a new person heading towards the town!

Ramone drove up to greet them. “Hi, welcome to Radiator Springs,” he greeted cheerfully.

[rustiize-deactivated20160418]

         LIGHTNING STARTED AFTER HIS FRIEND, grin coming across his face.  “Alright, Ramone, alright.  Is Red out watering the flowers again?  His azaleas are looking nice this year.”

                       Pause.

        “They are azaleas, right?”

[ramxne-blog]

“Uh...That’s actually a good question. I don’t know, man,” Ramone admitted. “Better not tell Red, though. He’s definitely watering them, whatever they are.”

He was an artist, not a florist.
