Transcript

*Tess sits cross-legged, arms folded over her chest. She frowns at Mike and Lucy.*
Tess: I said you’d need a good reason. You didn’t even ask your parents, did you?

*Mike, Lucy and Tess are still sitting together. Mike and Lucy are still tied up. Mike frowns and looks away from Tess. Lucy looks bored as she looks away from Tess.*
Lucy: Mom said no.
*Tess snarls, eyes white with rage.*
Tess: YOU’RE LYING!!

*Lily walks up to Lucy, Mike and Tess.*
Lily: C’mon, Lucy. Out with it. Why can’t you come?
*Lucy looks up at her, startled.*

Lucy: Lily!
*Lily smiles sweetly, holding her hands in front of her.*
Lily: Tessa told me everything.. I’m curious, myself.

*Lily grins happily.*
Lily: Maybe Michael-dear wants to be a drama queen, but you’re free all summer long, aren’t you?
*Lucy stares at Lily, embarrassed. Mike glares at Lily, folding his ears back.*
Mike: HEY!!

*Mike turns around and looks curiously at Lucy. Lucy looks away, blushing angrily.*
Mike: Wait, is that true, Lucy? Why AREN’T you going?

*Mike smiles charmingly.*
Mike: I mean.. not that I’m really complaining.

Mike: It’ll be nice to have someone to hang with while everyone’s away!
*Lucy shuffles and glances shyly at Mike, blushing.*
Lucy: …

*Lily and Mike look at Lucy. Mike smiles cheerfully. Lucy blushes awkwardly.*

*Lily and Mike continue to stare at Lucy.*

*Lily turns away from Lucy and Mike, smiling mischievously. She puts a hand to her mouth.*
Lily: Ohhhhh…
*Lucy spins around and glares at Lily.*
Lucy: WHAT?
*Mike stares blankly at Lucy and Lily.*
Mike: ?

i love Lily’s mischievous grin in the last panel, what makes it better is the fact that it took her a minute after looking at Lucy’s huge ass blush for the last 2-3 panels
