[Lucy’s flashback continues for this entire page.]
*Daisy and Paulo walk together outside. Daisy is talking and smiling. Paulo looks around.*
Daisy: See, there’s the swing, and the monkey bars. You good at climbin’?

*Paulo lights up.*
Paulo: Oh, totally! I was the best back in Marashino.
Daisy: You came from the city? That’s so coooool!

*Paulo quickly climbs high up into the tree.*
Paulo: See? Toldya!
*Daisy looks up, grinning.*
Daisy: Wow!

*Daisy claps.*
Daisy: Paulo’s amazing!
*Mike notices Daisy as he passes by with Lucy. Lucy is unbothered.*

*Mike smiles.*
Mike: Hey, what are you looking up there for?

*Daisy blushes and twiddles her fingers.*
Daisy: Oh, hi, Mikie! I was showing Paulo the playground and he wanted to climb up th--

*Paulo jumps down from the tree, landing dramatically between Mike and Daisy. Mike recoils, terrified. Daisy looks surprised.*

*Mike yells at Paulo. Lucy hides behind him, blushing nervously.*
Mike: Hey! You almost gave me a heart attack!
Paulo: Hah, sorry!

*Paulo gives Mike a friendly smile.*
Paulo: What’s your name?
*Mike looks back at Paulo, still concerned.*
Mike: It’s Mike.
Paulo: Sorry for scarin’ ya.
*Lucy shyly watches the two from behind Mike.*

*Paulo notices Lucy.*

*Paulo dashes around Mike and grins at Lucy face-to-face.*
Paulo: A-ha!!
*Lucy shrinks back.*
Lucy: N-nyo!

*Paulo’s eyes widen. He blushes, and breaks out into a sweat.*
Paulo: I.. uhh.. found you..
*Lucy is blushing too, as she looks up at him nervously.*

*They stare at each other awkwardly.*
Paulo and Lucy:

*Both turn their backs, looking away.*
Paulo and Lucy: Hmph!

*Paulo and Lucy glance back at each other. Lucy looks somewhat annoyed. Paulo looks extremely nervous.*

*Paulo runs away.*
Paulo: Gah!
*Lucy watches in shock.*
Lucy: ?!

*Lucy stares in the direction Paulo ran, looking sad.*
Lucy (narrating): I don’t know why he ran off. Just another reason to think there was something wrong with me.

Lucy (narrating): It felt pretty terrible at the time.
*Lucy curls in on herself, tearing up.*
Lucy: ughh
*David stands behind her, grinning and giving a thumbs up.*
David: Owned!

Author commentary

Veronica: Paulo arrived as a new fifth grade student in the beginning of winter so that’s why he and Daisy are wearing little coats.. it’s not exactly cold as hell, though. If that were the case, Mike should also be wearing a coat, but he isn’t!

He’s sensitive to cold, yet he’s doing his best, I guess.. Paulo and Daisy just wanna look pretty.

Oh, and remember Daisy mentioning she had a crush on Mike since fifth grade? Well, you can kind of see that developing!
