Transcript

*Mike lies in a dark space. He grunts as something lands on him.*
Mike: Urghh..

*Mike opens his eyes, sweating in panic as he finds himself face to face with Lucy, who’s tied up with a rope. Lucy stares at Mike in shock, sweating nervously. They both blush.*
Lucy: Mmm?!

*Lucy and Mike are tied up and lying in the trunk of a car. Lucy squirms frantically, kicking Mike in the face as she tries to get away from him. Mike ends up underneath Lucy.*
Lucy: YEEEEK!! GET AWAY!!
*Mike winces when Lucy’s foot lands in his eye. He grits his teeth.*
Mike: OWW!! Stop!!

*Lucy stops and looks up in surprise at something outside of the open trunk. Mike scowls, Lucy’s foot still in one eye.*
Lucy: Huh?

*Tess grins wickedly and winks. Clouds drift by behind her.*
Tess: Watch your head ♥

*Tess shuts the trunk.*

*Tess smirks in satisfaction and puts one hand on her hip. She picks up her phone while Lucy and Mike knock on the trunk.*
Tess: The cats are in the bag.
Phone: 10-4.

Lily: HEADS UP!!
*Tess glances behind her in surprise as Lily yells.*
Tess: ?

*Tess staggers forward, eyes crossed as Lily, curled into a ball, slams full force into the back of Tess’ head.*

Lily: YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
*Lucy screams frantically in the closed trunk, eyes wide and terrified.*
Lucy: LILY!! HELP!!

*Lucy grimaces, glancing anxiously in Mike’s direction, her face entirely red.*

*Mike and Lucy are still in the dark trunk, unable to see each other.*
Lucy: MIIIIIIKE!! MY ASS!!
Mike: THERE’S NO ROOM! JUST DEAL WITH IT!
Lucy: LIKE HELL I WILL!!
Mike: STOP THAT!!
