Author Commentary
I remember someone a page back remarked about how it was funny Paulo doesn’t really have so much money, yet he managed to buy himself like ten sodas. WELL THERE IS YOUR ANSWER. Good ol’ Maishul has himself quite the allowance saved up.
By the way before this chapter is done (possibly before the end of next week) we will have the “real” BCB forum.. but for now feel free to take a gander at the Bittersweet Candy Bowl fan forum!
also a new incentive, it is quite the eventful day this Friday…

How much you wanna bet Lucy is plotting to buy a ton of that soda to win the bike, and hopefully Mike along with it. And knowing plots like this, she will win, but it won’t work (not completely at least)

@jelloman : Shhhh, don’t spoil it!
@Andyfox : Bike chains are sold separately!
Awwwww, Lucy!!!! She doesn’t look sad, but instead looks like she’s got an idea hatching. And perhaps slightly embarrassed.

Tell Abbey to stop staring at me in the last panel his eyes kinda follow me everywhere.

Actually, it kinda looks like Paulo almost got nervous suddenly or something. His word bubble is partially over the other one in the second to last panel, and it’s all wobbly-shaped, as is the laughter one… so it’s like he’s drunk on soda or abruptly anxious.

@Glasses You can’t be saying that invisible bike chains don’t exist thats like saying that M&M’s can’t really talk.

I guess for a contest, you’d team up with anyone.
I wonder where Lucy’s hiding?
And what David’s eating?

Also, you people above this comment read too much into things. Myself, I see what comes and see what goes.
…But yeah, there is something up with Lucy…

Abbey’s glaring at Paulo, btw. Because Abbey hates him.

Paper bag anyone?
I don’t it as too much hassle, just break someone’s bike and slap on the chain.

Hm i think Lucy is just to cofused to see 2 belowed People so energetic in Front of her unable to make à Move. This does Not mean Lucy is now atached at Mike but i think She will Never forger her Feelings for him. ob the other hand It could Be something in the Near Future no One Knows about until its revealed.
@ oddguy screw you ^^ yust because her fluffing or how its called with Paolo shes didn’t became à sl.... You Know.

I don’t think Lucy is actually plotting anything here. Looks more to me like she’s still pining over Mike, and feeling left out.

Breaking the 4th wall. It appears like Abe is staring at the reader, as though he’s aware that we are watching him.

I kinda like the way Lucy is looking... simply adorable, I think.

But I’m wondering which person she’s staring at: Mike or Paulo...
PS: I don’t think Abbey is staring at me. Maybe because I’ve done nothing wrong?
PPS: Paulo and Tess belong together!!

Monsta Kirby, I think it’s because your ASCII art has HTML tags in it that get parsed out. You can’t write , for instance.

She’s found a new person to cling to, which can’t be good for an unstable boy like Paulo…

Judging from the rest of the chapter and the start of the following one, I think the implication is that Lucy’s staring at Paulo and blushing.
