All of a sudden, Jen saw her friend Wade run over to where her half-car body was parked. Apparently he had spotted her from across the parking lot.
“Hey! Hey, Jen!” shouted Wade as he ran over. “Think you could give me a lift? My car broke down and I need to get all the way to the other side of campus!”
“Uh, I don’t know if that’s such a good idea,” Jen said. She was busy enough with her own problems as it was, she didn’t need to worry about this crap right now. Plus, she didn’t need Wade asking questions about her new body.
“Why not Jen?” asked Wade as he leaned inside her open window, putting his hands on her door. She felt his hands holding the bottom of the open window and his thumbs pressing against the metal of the outside of her door, causing her to shudder at the odd sensation. It was weird to think of it as “her” door. She wondered what it would feel like for someone to sit in one of her seats.
Jen answered Wade, saying “look down here,” gesturing to the seamless fusion between her waist and her seat. “That’s why.”
“Oh, you’re a car. I’ve never seen that before, but whatever.” Jen had forgotten that the curse would make everyone think that her change was completely normal. “Anyway,” said Wade, “you wanna give me a ride or what?”
“I still don’t know,” said Jen. “I’m running kind of low on gas, and there’s no way I can reach to fill myself up. Plus I’m still getting used to my new body and I don’t know if I can handle driving super well yet.”
“Don’t worry about any of that. I’m an expert driver, and I’ll buy gas. Here, watch out.”
Jen started to ask what Wade was talking about but was interrupted as Wade opened her door and sat down on her seat in front of her torso (which there was room for as her human half was all the way back against the back of her seat)! She could feel his back pressing into her and squeezing her against her own seat back. Before Jen could regain her senses Wade had buckled them together with her seatbelt, placed his hands at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions on her steering wheel, and said “okay, how do I start you?”
