Transcript

*Mike walks through the hallway, his head bowed.*
Mike (thinking): This shouldn’t be affecting me as much as it is. I gotta clear my head..

*Mike looks up with an uneasy smile.*
Mike (thinking): I can overcome this!

*David offers a handful of Hershey’s Kisses.*
David: Want some Kisses?

*Mike punches David, sending the chocolate flying.*

*Mike holds his hands to his head in horror.*
Mike: Oh, David! I’m sorry!!
*David scrambles on the floor, retrieving the chocolates.*
David: Don’t worry! More for me!!

*Paulo looks on with suspicion.*
Paulo: Something’s clearly up with you, dude. Spill.
*Mike blushes.*
Mike: Guh! No, I’m fine!

Paulo: You punched David for offering you chocolate.
*Mike sweats.*
Mike: Ahh.. umm..

*Lucy folds her arms.*
Lucy: He hates chocolate. Just like every other thing, since he’s such a picky idiot.

*Mike frowns.*
Mike: Hey, that’s pretty unfair!
Lucy: Whatever comes out of your mouth is usually some kind of bitching.

*Mike scowls at Lucy.*
Mike: Give me one example!
Lucy: Every time the recess bell rings, you say it’s too loud?

*Paulo and David look on, expressionless.*
Mike: Oh, yeah! That definitely proves I’m picky!
Lucy: You told me to give you an example, idiot!

Mike: Got another?
Lucy: You’re too whiny to take anything lightly.
*Lucy rolls her eyes.*
Mike: THAT ISN’T AN EXAMPLE!!

*Paulo and David begin to walk away.*
Paulo: Uh.. we’re leaving now.
*David’s face drips with melted chocolate.*
David: ♪

*Mike and Lucy stare each other down.*
Mike and Lucy: Grrrrr..

Lucy: Over it yet?
*Lucy grins.*

Lucy: Bye!
*Lucy walks away, casually waving over her shoulder.*
Mike (thinking): Oh.. she’s right.. I feel a lot better after she pissed me off..

*Mike grins, speaking the next sentence out loud.*
Mike: Now I definitely don’t want to make out with her!

*A furious Lucy rushes in, and chops Mike on the head.*
Lucy: You wanted to do WHAT?!
Mike: YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO HEAR THAT!!
END

Why does Lucy wants to kill Mike only for saying that he dont want to kiss her anymore? She kissed him in the first place!!! (humph, Girls cant understand them!)

Not every animal trait is brought over folks. If David eats chocolate, just accept that animals in this comic do not have that problem. Cat’s have milk on their cereal in this too, and we don’t freak out over how real cats are lactose intolerant do we?
