Sparkle Needs a Ride
Added 2021-09-02 05:01:59 +0000 UTC“Howdy, miss! I'd be real happy to give you a ride.”
“Thank you! Jeez, I don't know what happened! I think I blew something?”
“Ooh, boy! No wonder the poor thing needed a nap.”
“Huh? Sorry, I don't understand car-talk. But I like your accent! Where are you from?”
“A little bit from here and there. How about you, darling?”
“Me? I'm from, like, far way. Really far away.”
“Well they build 'em real nice real far away, that's for sure! Gotta tell ya that your blinkers are damn pretty and your headlights are just perfect.”
“Oh? I mean, it's an older car... but thanks! That's nice of you to say.”
“My pleasure. And I'd have to take a look at your rear end but I'm sure your strut is lovely.”
“That's good...? But I'm pretty sure it's the engine that's the problem, don't you think?”
“Don't you worry about that, honey. With some good hard piston action, I'll have your engine purring in no time.”
“Oh? That would be awesome!”
“Hop on. I know a little place down the road where I can get you all checked out. Full service.”
“Okay! Thank you so much!”
<Sparkle settles on the back of the crotch rocket, arms wrapped around Harmony. Harmony drops the clutch and cranks the throttle. The bike chirps off the shoulder and zips down the road.>
“Um... how are we going to get my car to– wait! Hold on... you– you weren't talking about my car, were you?”
“You sweet little thing. I never was.”
“Oh, jeez.”
“Little slow on the pick-up, darling. I'm thinking we need to maximize your fluid intake.”
“Well, I am pretty thirsty...”

Your writing skills are really good, Davie! I enjoy having these little short stories to accompany the promo pics.
