That Changes Everything

Disqualified! cried Ageless. On what grounds?

Number of legs, said Kobo.

Of legs? echoed Ageless, aghast.

You have extras, said Kobo. They're claiming you have an advantage.

Decca and Karko snorted in unison.

Bullshit, said Karko.

Too right, said Decca. It's harder the more legs you have.

Then you have a case, said Kobo. But you need to get something in writing, and send it to the committee.

In writing? said Ageless. We haven't got time. We've got to start training. Will you do it, beloved?

Alright, my darling, said Kobo. As long as you promise me something.

Anything my angel, said Ageless.

Stay away from that dead floating girlfriend. You're going to get germs.

Karko was offended.

She hasn't got germs, he said. What would you know?

What would I know? said Kobo. Better than you obviously.

Woo-aah! said Decca rudely. You don't know about Starpuss. Anyway, she's in our team!

Ageless and Karko looked surprised.

Is she? said Kobo. Well! That changes everything!
