Transcript

*Mike and Lucy clench their fists, facing off.*
Mike: Okay, enough of these partners! Now it’s down to you and me!
Lucy: You’re on!

*Lucy shakily draws her bow, and barely misses the center of the target.*

*Lucy holds a finger to her lip, sweating slightly.*
Lucy: I.. I think my hand slipped..
*Mike crosses his arms and smirks.*
Mike: Nice try.

Mike: Hmm..

*Mike shakily draws his bow and manages to land in the same area of the target as Lucy.*

*Mike and Lucy raise a fist at each other.*
Poodle teacher: Tie!
Mike and Lucy: Grrr!

Lucy: Hap!
*Lucy tosses her ring.*

Mike: Hah!
*Mike tosses his ring.*

*The two score an equal amount on the ring toss targets.*
Poodle teacher: Tie!
*Mike and Lucy stare each other down.*
Mike and Lucy: Grrr!

Lucy: Hyah!!
*Lucy throws her ball through a hoop.*

Mike: C’mon..
*Mike throws his ball through a hoop.*

*Lucy pulls on Mike’s scarf while he crosses his arms.*
Poodle teacher: Tie!!
Mike and Lucy: Grrrrr!!

Lucy: Ahh!
*Lucy throws her basketball, which bounces off the rim of the hoop.*

Lucy: N-NO!!
*She clutches her face looking distraught. Mike spins his ball on his finger with a smug grin.*
Mike: Hahaha!

Mike: And with this throw..
*Mike makes his shot, looking cocky.*
Mike: .. comes my victory..
*His ball bounces off the rim of the hoop.*

*Mike and Lucy both look devastated with blank eyes, while David gives both a big thumbs-up.*
David: Equality!

Author commentary

Veronica: People probably think Lucy’s “Hap!” is a misspelling of “Hah!”.. but it isn’t. I keep thinking Lucy might make slightly “Amy Rose” sounds.. and I’ve heard her go “Hap!” in Sonic Adventure before.. which is cute and just SHUTTUP I’M NOT A WEABOO ;__; IT’S JUST A SOUND EFFECT GOD.

Mike and Lucy are psyching themselves out so much they’re playing exactly the same! Meant to be..
