*The poodle teacher holds up her fist and smiles.*
Poodle teacher: Everyone! It’s time for the race! (I got this one right!)

*Lucy thinks to herself with a worried expression.*
Lucy (thinking): Ughh, we’ve tied on EVERYTHING so far.. and now it’s down to a RACE?

*Yashy sits on the ground, looking annoyed.*
Yashy: Cliche, anyone?
*Chirpy raises her wing and smiles at the viewer.*
Chirpy: Long comic is looooooong!

Poodle teacher: Ready.. set..
*Paulo, Daisy, Lucy and Mike are each poised to run.*

Poodle teacher: GO!!

*Mike sprints ahead of the others immediately, kicking up a trail of dust behind him. Lucy is startled.*

Lucy (thinking): Dammit..
*Lucy, flustered, begins to run after him.*

*Mike looks back at Lucy, who is pushing herself to run as fast as she can.*
Mike (thinking): She’s trying her hardest..

*Mike softens his expression, looking at her with concern.*
Mike (thinking): Oh, Lucy.. Don’t be discouraged.. Maybe I should give her this one..

*Mike trips over a turtle on the field. The turtle has a strange grin.*

*Mike goes pale and still with a dumb blank face as he topples over.*

Mike: AHHH!!
*Lucy looks shocked and concerned for Mike.*

*Mike clings to his injured leg, tearing up.*
Mike: My leg, my leg!!
*Paulo passes Mike, grinning.*
Paulo: Taking a dive for her? Man, you’re corny.

Mike: I.. think it’s broken..
*Mike winces. Daisy looks to Mike as she runs past.*
Daisy: You’re so sweet to let all your friends win, Mikie! That’s just like you!

Lucy: Mike..
*Mike, crying, opens his eyes as Lucy approaches.*

*Lucy crouches down and wipes a tear from Mike’s face.*
Lucy: Watch where you’re going next time, idiot.

*Lucy shouts over her shoulder.*
Lucy: HEY! Wounded kid over here!
*Two little generic characters with nurse’s hats appear in the background.*
Medic 1: WHAT
Medic 2: LOL

*Mike, touched, smiles.*
Mike: Aw, thanks, Lucy..
*Lucy bashfully turns her head down.*
Lucy: That turtle really did a number on you.

Author commentary

Veronica: WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING MIKE, DON’T YOU DARE RUN OVER AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.

I probably sound really obnoxious for saying this, but it kinda saddens to me to see Mike all.. watery-eyed. Like genuine pain.. aww. And people keep thinking he’s just pretending to give Lucy the win.. which definitely isn’t the case!!

It’s funny that Mike was genuinely thinking of letting her win again, you did that before! Admitting you did that is what got you in this mess in the first place! I think Lucy understands that you are far superior at running than her, she just can’t compete!
