[Caption: Lunchtime]
*Tess holds up an envelope and smiles.*
Tess: You’re all invited~!!

*Lucy holds up the envelope by the corner and looks at it, a scowl on her face.*
Lucy: To what?
*Tess winks and gives a thumbs up.*
Tess: To my Christmas party, of course!

Lucy: And if I don’t wanna come?
Tess: Oh, don’t make me beg!
*Daisy, Sue, and Amaya look at the invitations in awe.*
Daisy: Ooh.

*Paulo leans over and strokes Lucy’s cheek. He smiles flirtatiously.*
Paulo: C’mon, babe.. We could have a wild night together!
*Lucy looks annoyed.*

*Paulo grins and gives two thumbs up.*
Paulo: Maybe end it with a little under-the- mistletoe action, if you know what I mean? ♥

*Tess looks at Paulo disapprovingly.*
Tess: You’re sinking deep into the “naughty” list, Paulo.
*Paulo frowns.*
Paulo: Oh, give me a break.

Paulo: Jesus, you sure love to nag!
Tess: I just want you to mind her space, okay?
*Lucy rests her chin on her hand, annoyed and blushing.*
Lucy: Hmph.. I don’t need your help.

*Paulo looks serious.*
Paulo: Whatcha gonna do if I just ignore you, then?
*Tess smirks.*

*Tess smiles mischievously.*
Tess: Maybe a better question is what I’ll do for you if you learn to listen to me~ ♥
*Paulo looks surprised.*
Paulo: Eh?

*Tess leans over and whispers in Paulo’s ear. He freezes up in shock.*
Paulo: …

*Tess smiles playfully.*
Tess: Got it, sweetheart? ♥
*Paulo shifts back into his chair, blushing. Lucy looks at him curiously.*

*Mike and David are blushing deeply, too.*
Mike: Whoa, she can do that?
*David clenches his teeth and slams his fists on the table.*
David: CAN I LAY OFF LUCY AS WELL?!

*Mike scrunches up his face, deep in thought.*
Mike (thinking): Man, is that what older girls talk about with their boyfriends?

Mike (thinking): Even if she’s just a year older than I am.. I wonder if Sandy…
*Mike imagines Sandy looking at him flirtatiously.*
Sandy: Maishul..

*Mike is lost in a daydream.*
Mike: …
*Tess leans on the table and smirks at Mike.*

*Mike has his eyes closed, smiling dreamily. Tess continues watching.*

*Tess laughs.*
Tess: Getting lost in shameful thoughts, Mikie~? ♥
*Mike’s eyes pop open and his face goes red.*

*Mike jumps up and clutches his forehead, holding his other hand out dramatically.*
Mike: GOD NOOOOO
*Tess bursts into giggles.*
