Printer-friendly version

Lightning McQueen turned his back on fame & glory to be with the woman
he loved, but there was something she had been hesitant to tell him...
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."

Aww, so CUTE!

Too bad it left me with the image of Mater wearing a tutu. *sigh*

A little body work

I don't know which one made my head spin the worse. Sally as a muscle car or Mater in the Tutu! Now my imagination is trying to add to both images. Argh!

Hugs!

That was only 100 words? My goodness, you budgeted them well. It was like, an actual... story.

What will they play at the wedding?

Perhaps the 3 Pedal Fugue In A-Major?
Really though its a cute drabble :-)

I make it 98 words for the main text...but as the title's two words, that brings it up to exactly 100.

Nice idea, working out what the equivalent of TG would be in the Carsâ„¢ universe :)

As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

Delightful!

A little racy, perhaps. ;-)
