Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Aww

leaves you with a strange warm feeling

Interesting though. Lily was the first who came to mind when i thought of the pregnancy…

woot.. go paulo’s dad

The suspense is killing me! Well, they made their bed and at least they are sleeping in it.

No pun intended.

The anticipation is mounting…even though in the end, none of this will matter in canon. LOL

awwwwwwww this is sooo cute- and… this is going to end bad isn’t it….

I still don’t get it, Is this a dream Chapter or what?

This is an amazingly detailed daydream. I wonder if BCB will turn into sci-fi and we’ll all find out this is an alternate reality.
Wow, that was a dumb thought.
o.o

The suspense is killing me <.<

hmm much turmoil to come most perplexing hmmmmm = moost epic comith soooooon O.o

Makes me want to cry, TBH.

Next page is the moment of truth

Come on, this isn’t fair!

Character development of…Teen age Parenthood!!!!!!



This “Daydream” of yours Paulo isso long I don’t think your still in the lockers with David

Wow… Panel 10…

This page is criminaly sweet and cute. I’m afraid I’m going to have to take you downtown and throw you in the slammer till you’ve grown sufficient angst levels Tae ):

FATHERSHIP

BECAUSE WHEN STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS, THE LIL BASTERDS DON’T EVEN KNOW WHICH DIRECTION THEY’RE SWIMMIN

CHILDHOOD

LIKE A FALCON PUNCH TO THE FACE WHEN THEY KNOW THEY’VE STUFFED UP.

THIS IS WHEN THE FATHERSHIP KICKS IN.

As you all can see, the chapter is ending. So i wouldn’t be too hopeful for a pregnant Lucy, but I’ll still want it to happen anyways.

Alas, poor Lucy. She is so scared

Well, we all knew Taeshi had to drag it out to Wednesday… at least. Unless we have a strip with them trying to figure out how to read it, though…

Well, we still have six comics to go. Could be quite a bit!

D’aww. I want this to be the real story. ^_^

Also, Paulo’s dad.

I predict that in 1 of the first 3 panels of the next page will either have lucy either screaming or swearing.

I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!!!

Booooooooriiiiiing -_-

Well, I tried

Damn you Monday!!!!!! This didn’t tell me anything!…But I did go Awww.

Hee, Skyline. ^_^

Wednesday, I await you with dying patience.

Whyyyyyyy Taeshi, whyyyyyy…;_;
The cuter you make them together, the more my heart feels like its being RIPPED APART. Because its all a dream. T__T

Must…. wait…. till..Monday!!!

Paulo has a good dad ^_^

Dats my hubby youre talkin’ about. X3

Thats sweet….and again, what good are Mondays…..

Paulo’s dad is so awesome. SO AWESOME.
Dang it, I have to wait until Wednesday. :C

Best Dad EVER. Dx

Tae! You’ve still got time to nip ahead, increase the page total by one, and add another page of Lucy coming out with an extremely neutral face and Paul yelling ‘Well?’

Seriously, I think the suspense here has been great - why end now?

Ooh. New thought! If it must end, next page, Paulo wakes up before Lucy can speak!

MOAR KEYS

No its obviously the glow of delusion. Cause its a daydream, remember? :B

The end of the month surprise is that Suitcase swaps this and the current cannon comics.

So sweet! KAWII!

Right now, I hate cliffhangers.

Just want the daydream to stop.

Why Is Paulo always so nervous round his dad?

I’m surprised David didn’t randomly interrupt this sweet partially mushy daydream

Paulo’s dad. How we love you.

Paulo’s dad would tap that.

@JephemeraL
I don’t know about you but I’d be nervous as all hell given this situation.

You know what, **** this ****. I’m gonna install another story line if this one doesn’t uninstall itself already.

Bit of a long daydream. But what evs, it’s touching. Specially with Paulo’s wonderful dad.

I feel like if she’s not Paulo and/or his father are gonna respond like in Scrubs; Dr. Cox running down the street screaming in celebration

This is a very sweet comic ^^

Paulo has a wicked dad xD

wow. this is really intense. I just read the comic and it’s entirely over the course of two weeks. this is too much emotion to last my heart. Kind of reminds me a few things about my time in high school. although, kind of wish it had animals like this

In my head, I wanted Paulo’s dad in one part say “Son, I am disappoint.”
But this is nice too

@taeshi So how did you choose which way this arc was gonna go from here? Did you flip a coin or something?

;)

The only thing that can warm my heart even more is if I ate chocolates around the heater, and sitting in my fuzzy chair with someone I love right now.

Or if the BCB book is ready for pre-ordering. (Oh snap!)

I seem to waver more toward PauloxLucy now. HOLY ****. Will I change my OTP as well? Only time will find out.

Somehow Taeshi will find a way to draw this out to the last page. And then, right before we find out for sure, something snaps Paulo outta the daydream and we are all left guessing. I’m callin it now!

Wouldn’t that be great. This entire Arc is some crazy Dream Paulo is having.
Paulo’s dad is cool ^^

The drama is intense enough, but why does Lucy have to be SO CUTE!?!!

C-crap… I can’t stand mushy moments with dads… they’re embarrassing…

@ Tukari: When the dad grabbed Paulo’s cheek in one of the previous pages, saying “Don’t even think about it” I think that’s when he was given a very, very bad talk xD

I have a feeling that we’re not even going to get the big question answered for Wednesday’s page. ‘Cause Taeshi’s just mean like that D=

Pregnant or not, my bets are that ol’ Paulo Sr. is getting his son a chastity belt.

Oh Paulo’s dad, why do you just…. yer a good dad.

School just ended
*chlears throat*
Results come in WENDSDAY?
I cant wait that long:(

@Silvermane this IS Monday’s Update lol ((unless you mean NEXT Monday, but why would you want to wait till then, either you predicted something to happen, or you know something we don’t…. HE/SHE KNOWS SOMETHING KILL HIM/HER!!! haha jk))

QUICK SON! THE STAIRS!

*Script for Wednesday
- 4 to 5 panels of paulo looking increasingly anxious as he waits.
- Lucky finally comes out and looks at Paulo with a nutral face
- Paulo finally blurts out “Well?”
- Last panel, Lucy says “It will take a few minutes for the resualts to show.”

Just to keep the suspense going just a little longer.

Do you guys think we will find out in the next page or not?

Paulo’s dad is a lot more mature than I had thought.

Well, knowing Taeshi, the test is gunna say, “Results inconclusive.”

And Lucy will be all http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/candybooru/ post/view/974?search=lucy

We want to know! Tell us! TELL US NOW! The suspense is killing me!

I bet she is. Then I bet the other will find out because Paulo tells David who tells the rest, and Michael gets angry, and then the group disbands! That’s just what I think though.

and then it turns out she IS pregnant.



….with David’s child..

Paulo, your father is really a good father

aww, so cute!

This seems too real to be just an imagination scenario…
maybe it is real!

haha, if only

I like the Paulo/Lucy pairing the most

@ Joshyartist:

What if its MIKE’S baby????

wow, that has to be the next best sequence in a comic ever.

Warm…sweet… unknown…a bit sad but fill with joy and cuteness…this made my day…waiting for next page.

okay, now the daydream will end and WHAMO, that cheerleader girl will wind up pregnent

@KBAM

OMG, the world would end

I really hope that this is NOT real… if it is i’ll hate you forever.. I mean, why does Paulo get to be with the sweet sensitive lucy, when Mike’s had to put up with the bitch for so long? In either reality, Paulo is a jerk. Either (A) he doesn’t take advantage of lucy, and he becomes a man *****, or (B) he DOES take advantage of lucy’s sadness, and then to make it worse, he takes it as far as to get her into a relationship with him just because he took advantage of her!!!!

@Sock
All this talk of Paulo’s Dad being your husband (and I have seen it many times, all the way back to when you first called dibs) is making me really depressed…

because I realized I didn’t get invited to the wedding. ;-;

Know what would totally screw with people? If you pulled Paulo out of this dream sequence moments before you revealed whether or not Lucy is pregnant. Oh man, there would be a ridiculous amount of rage up in here!

@Rhyme Don’t go giving Taeshi ideas!

dang… this bit reminded me of my uncle… (who died this year) i didnt bang any girl to the risk of knocking her up, but i was preety down and he was at my side like that when i was trough hard times…

thx taeshi for bringing me back a warm memory

that is the best dad ever

It makes me sad to realize that Mike would never do anything like this for her. I’m actually going to admit that I’m finally a fan of this pairing.

*shakes fist at Taeshi*

Im just glad that this pairing is virtualy proven false because of this arc. But I will admit that it was fun to see. THey do make a cute couple

its still too bad this is all a daydream … .

aww his dad likes lucy! how cute xD yea shame it is just a dream with only like 4 or 5 pages left b4 david prolly wakes him up >< *tears*

Sorry to those who love this day dream I just don’t like it :\

awwwww it be fun to see her get a positive test result and Paulo’s mind go into snap shots of future moments just to snap out of it because of David

I’m guessing it’s going to finish, probably some kind of happy ending, just as the readers are feeling all warm and fuzzy…*pop* oh yeah, none of it was real.

COME ON BE WEDNESDAY ALREADY! MUST SEE RESULT!!!

aw… kiss=awesome and cute
too bad this is a daydream

suspension till wednesday

Stupid Old-Paulo. Why’d you have to pop up at the critical point at the end? Old habits die hard, I guess.

*Explodes from the cuteness* THAT IS SO INCREDIBLE!!!! (fukk that it’s but a dream >=( )

:’( i wanna no sooooooooooo frikkin bad!

This is driving some of the big PauloXLucy fans nuts, huh?

But why must you torture us, Taeshi!!!

Yes, PauloxLucy works so much better than Mike. I usually don’t comment on these things but THIS IS JUST SO DARN CUTE.

^^That is all.

Also, I wish we didn’t have to wait!

Ohohoho~ I wasn’t a big fan of PauloxLucy until this particular chapter. Paulo and Lucy are so adorable, especially when they’re together. I’ve converted to PauloxLucy. 8’D

Well Paulo, looks like your verdict is about to be decided… get all objections, hold it’s, and take that’s out now.

I still think that this will end with everyone being attacked by alien robots. It is Paulo’s daydream after all.

…
This is getting weird considering this is all a day-dream…

My dad would be like “lol ***”

gawd dammit!!!! =/ i wanna kno!

Halo Reach will keep me occupied until then.


DAAAAMN SON! THAT ONES A HO FO SHO!

TOO-MUCH-SUSPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENSE!!!!!!!!!!

PFFT MORE LIKE THE GLOW OF FANGIRLHOOD

BITCHES BE CRAZY

I kind of love his dad

That thar dad’s got some wisdom in ‘is noggin

And ya know the great thing about dreams? due to the insane processing power of the human brain, dreams, even of the day variety, can happen in the blink of an eye.

Tho’ it wouldn’t surprise me if this daydream wraps up and Paulo’s alone in the school at night cause he just spaced out for so long.

Perfect setup for a zombie arc if’n ye ask me.

i’m starting to wish this was real… paulo has changed and lucy really seems happy

GRAAAAAHH!!! I can’t TAKE this kind of SUSPENSE for SO LONG!!

… I have to wait even more!?!?! *dies* x n x

*sneeze* The sick, it burrrrrns (or freezes in my case)

Okay, it’s official. Mike and Lucy pairing. Pfft!!!

It’s possible but I’m much more leaning towards Paulo and Lucy as the OTP…

Sorry dude…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Except none of this is real!!! *cries* Why?? Why do you taunt us so?!

JUST A DREAM?!?!?! why can’t it be real ’ the suspense is killing me. And I want a happy ending xD

Paulo’s dad is cool.

i was hoping for the answer today BUT NOOOOOO!
YOU JUST HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND STRECH THE WAIT HUH TAESHI!?!
>.O gerrfff….
oh well i can wait till Wednesday… ^-^
i hope she is prego… o.o
i want it to be a boy.. lol xD

Aww man, more waiting…I got a cold…*sneeze* DX ugh…I have actually got a cold, I f-ing hate England’s weather =(

The suspence is killing me! x3

You know, i might just make useless comments ‘cause I love the thing where your name turns red and it has (you!) on the end. Good job Souppy, although it’s rather sad I’m amused by small things like that. =3

Ok, it official, this is strangly similar to a daydream I had about my girlfreind

Somehow I just don’t see that kind of commitment from Paulo, call me crazy I guess.

…WHAT!? @ guy

he has liked Lucy since..what the 5th grade? o_o it would be silly if he wasn’t committed! its not like we haven’t seen Paulo supportive and committed before @starfighter-105

Oh hey Mr. Suspense

you are not welcome here

Paulo’s father officialy kicks arse at being a father xD
seriously cool owo

PAULO’S DAD, AWW YEAH.

I like him. He’s cool brah.

I love the look he has at times in some panels. he’s like “Damn, I’m getting old.”

I can’t wait to see the next pageee~

@ YYC on GC, yeah I know, it mainly around the idea of my dad not hating her, or at least not trying to make things difficult, but hey, nothing good in life is easy

come on!! you always make a cliff hanger!! i dont liek those, especially when you have to wait 2 days!!~ but i still love the comics! <3 <3
www.youtube.com/haileyskitties

Okay, who’s heart was melted during the reading of this page?
;A; Mine certainly did…..

6 more pages to explain why this would have been bad.

i friggin love paulo he’s soooooo amazingly awesome

So far paulos playin it cool.

I think I’m liking this more than what really happened.

This is such contrast to the paulo that existed in the non imaginary chapter. You know, the one who banged two girls and didn’t think anything of the two who he both likes and actually DOES want to have sex with? Not only that but he’s also on to girl number 5 and hasn’t even stopped to think about how 1 and 2 felt? I don’t see how this is a realistic daydream of him when he’s being a player full bore in reality… you’d think he’d feel just a LITTLE guilty, no?

next comic would be that paulo and his dad would be waiting in the restroom and at the last panel lucy would open the door then we have to wait until wednesday to know the truth

Is this the first time either Lucy or Paulo says “pregnant” in this whole chapter?

I think it is.

The first audible time in any event. They were whispering before.

Everone now…. “D’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW WW”

Halmark moment.

nothing like a father and son moment.. Guess we’ll find out Wednesday FINALLY hahaha

This whole chapter now has me in a conflict. Should Paulo be with Jasmin or Lucy?

I’m not the deepest person in the world, but that was a good emotional moment.

NO THINK ABOUT JASMIN

oh Paulo…does anybody else think this LucyxPaulo thing is moving super fast? Like, he’s making a promise to be with her always, and they’re what, 15? To be honest I’m still kinda LucyxMike at the moment. I dunno, maybe she should just give up on boys…one exploded on her in a fit of rage, one loves Lucy like no other in a creepy stalker way, and one potentially got her pregnant. No wonder she’s so messed up in the head.

Man… all this cute and heartwarming stuff is just going to make it even harder when Lucy manages to screw everything up some how by being herself.

1: She’s pregnant. Decides she doesn’t want Paulo involved for some arbitrary reason. Heartbreak ensues.

2: She’s not pregnant. She doesn’t want to be all nice and cuddly with Paulo anymore. Heartbreak ensues.

Regardless, this is going to be tough once we get back to reality…

Lucy being cute. Paulo being a good boyfriend. And Paulo’s dad being cool. I like where this is going.

Just **** on the strip and get a helmet ready, damn it.

Jerk, get back in the forums before you scare off the friendly people visiting this Comic.

God, it makes things so much more difficult knowing we /have/ to go back to reality soon. I liked Paulo’s daydream world better. Much less complicated.

Gee. Paulo can have one heck of a daydream. It must be awkward to have to guys waiting outside your bathroom door waiting to see if you’re preggers.

i feel warm indide :3

grrrrrrrrrrrrr stop teasing me!!!!!!

The test shows pregnant, and 8.5 months later she gives birth to a half dog half cat.

As in, Paulo is not the father.

Taeshi has made a ship tease she knows we know isn’t real, but made us want it. I’d think that was a bad thing, but it’s so much fun to see. The character of Paulo and of his dad got deeper. Guess he is alright when he isn’t harassing Mike. Usually. Is this the Paulo arc?
Also, the Lucy being less whiney is likely a combination of fear decay over time and her warming up to Paulo similarly to how she was with Mike. Only less violent.

Seriously…i started reading this comic from the beginning like four days ago and THIS is where i catch up?! Talk about terrible timing, why couldn’t i have started this a week later and just been able to find out instead of waiting with so much anticipation!

OHOHOHO I TOTLLY SHIP LUCY x PAULO DAD

<3

WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME SO WITH ALL OF THESE CLIFFHANGERS???? *DIES OF WAITING.*

Nosrsly. To me, it seems like she’s not as whiney because now she actually has put her trust into Paulo. :3

…. The tension is killing me!

Is she pregnant? It is just a fakeout?

Well. Till next Wednesday.

isnt this still just all a daydream?
i wish it wasnt and shes not prego….its so sweet =]

On Wednesday, Paulo wakes up.

Next to Mike.

Whose tongue is gently caressing the shell of his ear…

Massive win on J. Vincero.

Paulo’s Dad! Please be my Dad!

He might be. He just might be.

i have officially found a voice that would suit Paulo’s dad

John Marsten

tfggttgggrffgggtrrfgggtrrggggtggghhhttgghhhgggfdaa xxxxcbn,.???? llllkhgdsaawwwewwwwqqqqpppoiytewqqqqpppoiytewqaaax xxxcbn,.?”’poooiutrw………. I know that was random… O_O …and that was to…

she’s not whiney because it’s paulo’s daydream…


I still think Paulo should push her down the stairs and make sweet sweet love with David

Lolwut at Lolwut…

The face Paulo’s dad makes is just priceless. It make’s me wonder how I’ll handle things if my son ever knocks up her girlfriend at a young age, or if my daughter gets pregnant at a young age. To a certain point, as children we tend to make stupid decisions, and we take those bad decisions, embrace them and learn from them. Paulo feelings towards Lucy really have changed (in this dream anyway), but I wonder how he will cope with his ex-lover/almost girlfriend? It’s hard being a Stud

COME ON!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to know if she’s pregnant

-Drools over Paulo’s dad-…..

<3

IHATEPAULO, blame David for that. And blame the two cheerleaders for being so vengeful to Tess that they would disrespect their own bodies to get back at her. Lucy and Paulo were not truly a couple. And as for Tess, she repeatedly pushed him away. At least with this arc it shows a side of Paulo we have only seen tidbits of. End of explanation.

Paulo…Go die in a fire.
Paulo’s dad…We love you.

wat are you people talking about….hes willing to give up over 10 whole years of his life just for lucy….HE LOVES HER…and she loves him


@sock….really, sock, you still fancy the completely unknown father over a kind caring somali?

^Paulo’s Dad is Sock’s hubby

^^through the magic of fanart

Remember, everyone, that troublemakers provoking you is usually the point. If you’re going to argue, make it YOUR argument. Failing that, arguments suck and this comic doesn’t. Join the ride with us, friends. We aren’t all mean ^_^
Paulo is kinder when Daisy, Lucy, or (sometimes) Tessa is around.

“blame David for that. And blame the two cheerleaders for being so vengeful to Tess that they would disrespect their own bodies to get back at her. Lucy and Paulo were not truly a couple. And as for Tess, she repeatedly pushed him away. At least with this arc it shows a side of Paulo we have only seen tidbits of.”

@ Renadt:

Thank you so much for writing that.

FFFFFF

Why must this be a daydream Dx

Awww man hug!

@Magnus: OF COURSE! He is my construction worker of looooovveee.

well, weve seen yashi isnt very pleased in a comic before, now all thats left is mike…..(no offense to all MIKExSANDY fans) i think sandy will maybe cheat on mike…and now that ive said that the authors gonna change tyhe outcome..sry MIKExLUCY fans (:D

why does my keyboard have to suck so much at typing right -_-‘

nya!!~ love this, but i hope lucy isnt pregnant!!

I’m loving this daydream arc for some reason, even if its all a figment of Paulo’s imagination. It’s a shame he didn’t go this route I suppose.

I wonder however if in real life he would really be this considerate though (I mean we know Paulo normally means well but he tends to be a bit rash and panics a whole lot in these situations)

… damit… now ill be teary all day…

you can tell he wouldnt be as calm for real, but i like him like this, and lucy! go pauloxlucy they are so cute together!!!!

you know what will be funny? seeing paulo’s face after the daydream ends! (and david’s reaction to his daydream.)

Hope she isnt pregnnt

Lucy’s bow looks kinda like tiny wings in panel 7 :o Pretty cool.

OK, this has gotten to all kinds of adorable now.

lol I could totally see Lucy going “I’m…”

and then his daydream ends

Nah, we’ve still got another 6 pages to go.

LOLZ what if this skips and goes right to them cuddling. A page of them cuddling. Then on the very last page it’s what paulo picking names.

lol konica i cud see that happening too

I can see it now…. She’ll act like she’s not and be all tough and act like Paulo meant nothing and walk out….. Then she’ll look back with eyes of melancholy cause she actually is pregnant…. Calling it now.

No probs, Skygaze. After IHATEPAULO’s little outburst, I felt the need to state facts. I have a feeling about Mike, though, and I feel he might have to swallow his pride here in the next few chapters to get into Lucy’s good books again.

im not sure if nobody really notices but this and the past few chapters have been talking more about love than SWEET friendship

Well I hope she is! Muahahahaha!

That’d be the funniest set-up for a “CAD miscarriage arc” joke ever.

Misleading RL Paulo is misleading,

How is this in any way, shape or form bad? AND **** I WANT TO SEE MIKE’S REACTION!!!!!1!!

@J. Vincero (Jerk)

0.0’

uhhhhhh… wow

Last page of this chapter. I’m serious. I would laugh all the way to Hell.

Prediction: She won’t come out for a long time, because it’s positive or inconclusive.

She’ll hide in Paulo’s bathroom for hours maybe…

Paulo’s dad’ll order pizza or something and they’ll all eat dinner a bit awkwardly once she FINALLY comes out… she won’t say much.

That’s my guess.


Don’t forget we have 6 more pages…

awww so cute! :] …… i just hope shes not…

Am I the only one hoping the this turns out with Lucy and Pablo being together and happy but he, that is the real Pablo, knows that what he did was still the right thing even if it does not turn out as well for him?

Edit - I know others may have said this but I’m not going to read through all the comments just to see if my idea was new.

*Drum rolls*

maybe she won’t be and they’ll be all sad and stuff
even though they’re probably happy.

but. I don’t know.
6 more pages~!!!

Tired Dad is tired.

Paulo’s dad is awesome. I don’t know why, he just is! Maybe its because he is being so um…gentle….? about the situation?? I dunno what word I’m looking for!!

she already did make him happy -wink wink-

Awesome dad, once again, is awesome.

You’d think she would be experienced what with having Yashi and all

Before with David on vaction, Paulo said that even though he still like Lucy, he could never be what she needed. At this point in the daydream and even in the actually story Paulo has become more and more of what she needed. She needed a friend or support and he was there. Paulo doesn’t realize that it’s not what you can do for a person, but the dedication to be willing to do anything for her.

I wish she go back to Mike, but it looks like Paulo and Lucy would be the perfect couple.

my pet cat is pregnant. DAMN STRAYS

Best of luck to them. I’m sure they’ll be very happy.

I hope Paulo realizes how perfect he is for Lucy after he stops daydreaming. He better…Or else…

I really hope this doesnt end like that dam teen mom show, that **** is dumb as ****

Wow, Paulo’s Dad is way less taller than him than it seemed before.

I don’t know about perfect for each other, @Blackstar. They make a cute couple now, but they both have somewhat volatile tempers…

drum role plz

Dad of the year. Seriously. But like, in a fictional way.

Besides, i’m proud that you scored on such a pretty little angel son!
