Transcript

*Lucy, her tongue poking out, grabs the power cord in her fist and yanks it out of the outlet.*
Lucy (thinking): Hmph! Success!

*Lucy grins, triumphant. She puts one hand on the desk as she pops up from under it to check the screen.*

*Lucy sways backward, staring at the screen with huge, horrified eyes.*

*Lucy falls backward with a “fwoomp”.*

*Lucy sits upright. She gingerly holds her head and winces.*
Lucy: I pulled the cord and it’s STILL on the screen?!

*Lucy slouches in defeat and sighs.*
Lucy: This computer is pure evil..

*Yashy and Chirpy talk off-panel. Lucy looks up, panicked and blushing.*
Yashy: You know what, Chirps?
Chirpy: Yeah?
Lucy: !

*Lucy faces the doorway with her hair standing on end. Yashy and Chirpy’s voices float through the doorway.*
Yashy: I feel like walking into the next room.
Chirpy: Why?

*Lucy, cheeks puffed out, looks like she’s holding her breath. She clutches her hands together in front of her.*
Yashy: I don’t know.. Think it’d be suspenseful!
Chirpy: Oh..

*Lucy looks around the room frantically.*
Lucy: Quilts.. quilts..

*Lucy holds one hand to her mouth and the other to the top of her head, trying to recall where they are.*
Lucy: !!

*Lucy remembers something from earlier that day. In Lucy’s memory, her mom strolls by in the background. She’s carrying a load of laundry.*
Lucy’s mom: Lucy, sweetie?
*Lucy, in the foreground, looks uninterested.*
Lucy: Yeah?
*Lucy’s mom smiles at her.*
Lucy’s mom: I’m gonna wash all these old quilts, okay?
Lucy: Sure!

*Lucy’s mom smiles sweetly at Lucy.*
Lucy’s Mom: Oh! And did you need that beach towel?
Lucy: Nah.
Lucy’s Mom: Okay! No harm in washing it too! ♥

Lucy: You’re the boss!
*The memory ends. Back in the present, Lucy puts her hand on her mouth as she continues to think.*
Lucy: Drat..

*Yashy’s voice comes from off-panel.*
Yashy: Oh boy! I do love to make a grand entrance!
*Lucy panics.*
Lucy: No!!

*Yashy and Chirpy, smiling happily, appear in the doorway.*
Yashy: Here I come!

*Yashy and Chirpy skid to a halt. They look up, confused.*
Yashy: Eh?

*Lucy is sitting on the desk. She’s positioned directly in front of the computer screen, blocking it. Lucy smiles sheepishly and waves at them.*
Lucy: Hiiii guys~!

Author commentary

Veronica: Hey, we get to see Lucy’s mother again! Her first appearance was in an ooolllddd flashback way back in chapter two..

She still retains her pearl necklace, cramping Daisy’s style!

It just hit me now that Lucy’s mother has ONLY appeared in flashbacks! She’s not dead, I swear! She’s just.. doing housewifey things somewhere else!

A preview of the upcoming BCB page.

I think this is my favorite side series because Lucy has a lot more expressions than normal.

“You know what?”
“Yeah?”
“I feel like walking into the next room.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know…suspense, maybe!”
“Oh…”

That was damn funny. XD
