Bittersweet Candy Bowl

[Caption: FLASHBACK]
*Paulo and David arrive at the prom. Music is playing. Paulo smirks, while David stands with a dumb smile, a black tie hanging off his neck.*
Paulo: Ooh.. this looks like a hot party.
David: My tie makes me elegant.

*They stare at a group of girls enjoying the party, including Stacy, Katie and Flower Girl.*
Paulo: Lookit all the chicks..
David: And the fruit punch!

*Paulo cheekily smiles while making his way through the crowd.*
Paulo: Now to casually waltz in to the main scene~♪
[An arrow, pointed to Paulo: Thinks he’s too awesome to get all dressed up :-[]

*While smirking, he embraces a shocked Katie from behind.*
Paulo: Excuse me, ladies ♥

*He rests his hands on Stacy’s shoulders, who is equally surprised.*
Paulo: Pardon me ♥ Just passing through~ ♥

*Paulo holds another female student, dipping her down in his arms, romantically. She blushes, looking disturbed.*
Paulo: ’scuse me ♥
Female student: !

*Paulo advances on a recoiling Flower Girl.*
Paulo: Pardon m--

*David gets between them and stares down Paulo with gritted teeth.*
David: GRRRRR
*Paulo freezes up, terrified.*

*Paulo runs away, tears streaming from his eyes.*
Paulo: HOHHMYGODBARKINGOHNOOHMYGODNO
*Flower Girl is confused as David returns to his carefree self. He looks into the distance.*
David: Anyway, punch bowl.

[Caption: End flashback]
*In the present, David smiles dumbly despite his bandaged head and black eye.*
David: I scared him away from my girl.
*Paulo scowls as Mike and Lucy laugh.*
Paulo: HEY, I was telling the story!!

*The school bell rings, causing Daisy to look up worriedly.*
Daisy: Speaking of scary.. We’ll be late to class if we don’t leave now!

*Paulo frowns at Daisy, unamused.*
Paulo: Oh, c’mon! School’s ending in like two days! We should be planning pranks, not showing up early!
*Daisy looks at him nervously.*
Daisy: Umm..

*Daisy clasps her hands together, awkwardly looking to the side. She turns around and edges away.*
Daisy: I kind of.. wanna go to a good college and not ruin my permanent record..
*Paulo chases after her, waving his hands in the air, his tail bristling.*
Paulo: YOU’RE THIRTEEN!!

*Lucy watches them, unamused.*
Lucy: Let’s just go, then.
*Yashy, held in Lucy’s arms, pumps her fist into the air as Mike looks on.*
Yashy: Hit it, speedy!

*Mike watches as Paulo, Daisy and Lucy walk away.*
Daisy: Is it really so wrong to worry about my future?
*Paulo winces, looking at Daisy.*
Yashy: I hope your future is a fatal disease, whore.
Lucy: Yashy, be nice.

Lucy: You think anyone with a thing for Mike is a whore.
Yashy: S’true though!
Daisy: I could fit you in my locker, y’know.
*Mike smiles as he leans on his cane, watching the group walk away.*

Yashy: What’s that, whore?! A threat!?
Daisy: It’s a PROMISE!
Lucy: Yashy, be quiet or I’ll find some room in MY locker.
Yashy: Mom! You wouldn’t!!
*Mike sighs.*

*Mike looks behind him.*
Mike: Summer’s about to begin. Maybe I really should sit back and enjoy what I’ve got here..
*Yashy pops back into the panel and glares at Mike.*
Yashy: Flea! Quit being introspective!!
Mike: Soon, Yashy.
