BODY WORK
a 100-word tale of romance based on Pixar's CARS
by LAIKA PUPKINO

.
"You quit racing to be with me, Lightning? Oh I should've told you. You'll hate me!"

"Impossible!"

"I haven't been honest. This is a new body."

"Wrecks happen. But you're okay now."

"No, a different body. I was---and my chassis is---Mustang."

"Don't talk crazy, Sally. Mustangs are boy cars ................... Oh."

Lightning was disturbed. He'd rubbed tailpipes with this vehicle.

"But you're such a Porsche!"

"I always was, inside. I hated being a muscle car."

Lightning took a long drive. Returned.

"Well ...... every relationship has its flaws to overcome."

"So I'm 'flawed'?"

"No, you're perfect. I meant mine."
