Transcript

*Mike grabs Lucy by the hand, a tender look on his face. Lucy looks back. The both of them are blushing.*
Mike: Hey.. Remember that day?

*Mike smiles kindly.*
Mike: I gave you my promise.. .. A promise I fully intend to keep!

*Lucy presses her lips into a thin frown and furrows her brow, blushing.*

*Lucy hits Mike upside the head.*
Lucy: You also promised not to touch me, jerkface.
*Daisy sidles up beside Mike, raising her hand to her face coquettishly.*
Daisy: ♥ Y-you know.. you can always touch ME, Mikie! ♥
*Mike slinks down in his seat, grinning through gritted teeth at Lucy’s reaction.*
Mike: Guh..

*Everyone pauses as Paulo interrupts.*
Paulo: Yooooooooo baaaaabe~! ♥

*Paulo waves at everyone excitedly from on the stage, holding fish in both hands.*
Paulo: I got picked as a volunteer!
[An arrow, pointed to Paulo: He begged]

*He lowers the fish to the seal, who opens its mouth in anticipation.*
Paulo: Here you go..

Paulo: SIKE
*Paulo yanks the fish away. The seal’s eyes grow wide in shock.*

*Paulo kneels over the water, laughing at the angry seal.*
Paulo: HAHAHAHAHAHA

*The seal knocks Paulo into the water with its tail.*

*Daisy, Mike and Lucy look on in horror at what the seal does next. Lucy, looking especially horrified, clings to Mike’s arm.*
Paulo: Ack!! I was kidding!! Aughhhh STOP THIS CRAZY THING

*Mike looks over at Lucy, a sheepish expression on his face. Daisy, to Mike’s right, continues glaring at the two.*
Mike: Whatever happened to “don’t touch”?
*Lucy clinches her eyes shut, much too scared to be embarrassed.*
Lucy: GOD SHUTTUP
