*Mike looks around frantically.*
Mike: No, no.. I couldn’t have lost her already..

*Mike looks upset. Behind him, a girl with black hair and a bow is ordering a hot dog from a stand.*
Mike: Where is she.. please..

*The girl begins walking away. Mike notices her.*
Hot dog vendor: Take care!

*Mike runs after her, waving his hand and smiling.*
Mike: Oh my god! SAND--

*A crowd appears, and Mike gets caught in the middle of it.*
Mike: ACK!!

*Mike frees himself from the crowd. He looks up and sees the girl sitting at the edge of a fountain.*
Mike:

*The girl has her back to him, eating a hot dog.*
Mike (thinking): It’s her.. It’s really her!

*Mike approaches her slowly, smiling and blushing.*
Mike (thinking): The girl I’ve waited for all these years.. finally, our moment..

*Mike stops behind her, smiling shyly.*
Mike: Sandy?

*The girl turns around with a neutral expression. She is not Sandy.*
Black-haired girl: Hmm?

Black-haired girl: Are you looking for somebody?
*Mike looks surprised and disappointed.*
Mike:

*Mike hesitates, backing away.*
Mike: Ahh.. well I.. well.. umm..
*The girl looks at him blankly.*
Black-haired girl: ?

*Mike looks heartbroken.*
Mike:

*Mike looks away, upset.*
Mike: Never mind. My mistake.

Mike: Sorry for bothering you..
*Mike turns and walks away.*
Black-haired girl: No problem, dude.

*Mike continues walking away, his ears lowered.*
Mike: It wasn’t her.. I never saw her at all..

*Mike shuts his eyes, on the brink of tears.*
Mike: Why does it always end up going wrong?

Author commentary

Veronica: Mike just CAN’T CATCH A BREAK.

I think I remember in the older design I tried to make the girl a bit.. ugly? But I thought that seemed a bit silly… she could just be a girl with black hair and a blue ribbon. Black hair isn’t rare!!! Especially with how Sandy wears it!
