Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Oh paulo~

Guess i was wrong,i really expected the ending to have nothing eventful

Lucy was surprised that Paulo guessed she had lost her virginity so she smacked him to deny it. Also Paulo totally got a ***** in panel 1.

LOL Poor Paulo..
it’s also funny David just then started asking.. I mean, wouldn’t he have been day dreaming all that for a long time?
xD just a random wonder, though I know this was originally made for an alternate reality ordeal

Oh Paulo, you are so bad at dealing with Lucy sometimes. I have to admit I mirrored the “What the hell” though; seriously, what brought THAT on Paulo?

The last panel just kind of pulled my heart strings. D=

Indeed, so bittersweet. So bittersweet….

Yay early update! A very fitting end to the arc. I loved the whole damn thing.

Atlast I didn’t like the day dream

well, that was awesome. Now then, ON TO THE DRAMA

Thank God that nightmare is over.

while I agree this was one of the best chapters to be written and drawn, it is exciting to see what you’re going to do next with the story.

wasn’t there like, a play or something from a while back?

Worst flashback ever.

LOL JK


Also, the answer to Paulo’s question is “no”.

It had a sweet ending but i’m still MikexLucy forever

early update is early…

Damn it Taeshi, I didn’t know you were updating early. xD
Oh well, onward to the next chapter!
(God I miss this style, the lines look so much better)

would be one more chapter with mike, lucy, sandy or paulo?

the story is over?
well on to the teen soap-opera.

I feel sad for poor paulo…

wasn’t this day dream only from paulos perspective? Because it turns out good for him, because it’s his mind, what about lucy’s?

i was expecting for the end of the comic…sadly…sadly….

How long was he standing there!?

Thats one heck of a daydream!!!

… … … PAAAAAUUULLLOOOOOOO!!!! ;___;

You can still get her! You can still prove you love her! Sweep that girl off her feet and into your arms~

Just don’t bone her without a condom this time.

: 3 Was fun while it lasted.

I must admit, I cried a lot during this chapter. It was extremely heart wrenching watching this twisted and evil reality.

EARLY UPDATE IS
EEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLYYYYY YYY!!!!!

Anywho, I was expecting Jasmine to wake him up, not a smack from Lucy.
OMG WHAT IS THIS AWESOME CHAPTER 60 GONNA BE ABOUT :awesomeface:

condom are for ******…u_u

What? Flavio. That’s wrong. Condoms are for *******. You don’t put a condom on a *****.

well…i wasn’t meant THAT kind of *****, but the another….ok? *thumbs up

XD

Emotions are so hard to decipher when you’re that age…any age really…

Paulo’s not down for the count though…he just needs to stop being an idiot and give chase on the girl he really wants.

EDIT:
There are feminine condoms you imbeciles…

by the way, correct me if i am wrong. The correct is “******” or “*******”?

@Flavio - *******

Still, early update is early.

As Gabriel Iglesias said: THAT’S FUNNY!

*Sigh* Paulo you are an idiot.

paulo, paulo…how many times you will need to learn how to treat a lady as lucy? Just push her down stairs…

Down the stairs and into the open arms of Mike.

mike will probaly die trying to hold her since he’s too pansy and all emo….sadly…sadly….

Ohh man. Fav chapter ever. (: Really glad to see what would happen if he actually banged her! Filled some questions.

But I totally wish it happened. For now, at least.

Agree with the first poster. Favorite chapter of all so far.

tehend lucy hates paulo.
NOW GO, MIKE!

Wow…


It feels so weird to be back in the present again…
It’s like we don’t belong here anymore, we’ve been away so long…




Paulo must have been dreaming for hours.

Its been monday for 12 minutes.

Great end to the chapter. Cant wait for the next chapter

shellshock sets in on all the pauloxlucy fans.

wait…it never happened? o.o totally didn’t see that one coming

whoo, back to drama very soon

Yes! Now my faith in lucyxMike can be restored

htua

Hakinsuke

‘-‘

Y’know, this really has been a nice little arc, but I have to be glad it’s over. I mean, it was too perfect, as daydreams are. I missed the antics of their real world!

It’s not even Monday in the USA… Although I’m glad it’s over, but I’ll miss it.

I’ll miss this arc. It was the best one in the entire story so far, because Lucy wasn’t ruining her own life by pining after someone who practically hates her.

SUFFER, PAULOxLUCY FANS!

**** THA MIKE HATERS!

HAHAHAHA!

Shaddup you ramen-raiding radian!

@jerk

thank you. Someone had to say it.

I loved this arc and I’m gonna miss it a lot. Keep up the great work!

wow i started reading this comic on last sunday and i was waiting for a update tomorow and i was just reading mi favorite chapters and i got to this page and got surprised by the update and also love the comic i just got halo Reach and a Hdtv today and instead i started readying BCB that just shows how much you and your comic ruel BCB FOREVER by the way im not kidding about halo or the hdtv your comic is just that good

…Aaahhh -_-… back to reality at last…

NOOOOOOOOO I Luved this arc soooo much!!!! Plz make more PaoloxLucy soon!!! I miss waiting for this arc as it was being produced

Early comic woo

Woot, early update so he was at the hallway all the time, heh.. ironic that it was Lucy that woke him up >:| . It was a nice arc :3
@ellit yoshi yeah this comic hypnotize u to read more and more O_O and u still can’t get enough of it, not that i am complaining I am happy with that xD I love the comic.

we still don’t get why it woulda been a mistake, it sounded like a nice end

@Mr.Dude there was no big mistake, Paulo thought it would have been a mistake, but as he dreamed, he realized nothing would have been bad.

This made me sad in a good way… Lohed it to tears but now poor paulo has to face normal life instead of his lovely lucy life

This has been my favorite chaper so far! I cant wait for more! You are so very talented ^^

@BLUH It still might have been a mistake. There’s no reason to believe that things would have happened the way Paulo dreamed they would. What if Lucy had hated Paulo afterwards for taking advantage of her? Or gotten pregnant? Or sunken into a depression about Michael anyway?

It was nice to envision things working perfectly as a daydream, but there’s no telling if it would’ve been fact. And knowing this comic, if that had really been what Paulo did, I doubt it would have ended up that nicely. X)

im guessing lucy is back to her old self scince we last saw her? well in the present that is

Sigh… back to reality, I guess.

Aww, the chapter is over. (I’m a PauloxLucy fan, if you can’t tell) :c
It was a very good chapter! I loved the ‘alternate reality’ feel. It makes me kind of sad that all of that never happened, though..

Woo, back to the main storyline now! Can’t wait for the next chapter to begin! I wonder what it’ll be about…

The only downside that I see for early updates, is that it means that I have to wait even longer for Wednesday’s update.

I was gonna say, damn time flies!!! O.o
Oh well, at least she didn’t have to go trough that

Aww… this was so adorable!
im really sad its over, but hopfully getting back to reality will get me back onboard with MikexLucy (;

—My Dsi

So much for non-sequiter…

That was the most depressing thing ever.

LOL what a day dream but hell hes been too stupid for things to work out that way so easily, and hes still stupid trying to be a player and a lover at the same time

i wanted them to be together!!!!

(Plays a song on the world’s smallest violin)

All kidding aside, it is sad that wasn’t real. It was sweet, despite my pairing preference. But now, back to reality, and its drama. Here’s hoping for some MikeXLucy drama/angst! Onward!

Also, that was a pretty long daydream. What? Did it last a few seconds or something?

Saddest moment of this comic: “Maybe.” and Paulo’s face. ;-;

Man.

Best. Flashback. Ever

lol

If only it were true. That would’ve been so cute. <3 Poor Paulo.
But dear god don’t even joke about Mike dreaming about Sandy for an entire chapter.

panel #1 paulo face.. priceless

David sure gets Paulo into a lot of trouble

…oh dang it… i just realized…. were back at Angst Fest!! DX

all I could say was awwwwwwwwwww *couple minutes later* anyway that was really sweet and I hope Wednesday will be just as good when it comes along.

Paulo dodged a bullet.

Because Lucy is a bitch.

the only thing I have with this chapter is that people wish this did happen but you must remember that this is a DAYDREAM. and daydreams are based on situations and options and how he thinks people will react to them. and seeing how it is his daydream he thinks about the positive but if he did do it in real life what if lucy did get pregnant? what then hmm?

Actually, this was all meant to be an ACCURATE ALTERNATE REALITY.
Tae is saying this is just a daydream just so she can be able to have it in cannon without everyone ******** even more than they are now.
So
Suck it

As strange as this sounds coming from me….Jerk that was funny **** you just said there (my day was made, and its not even tomorrow yet )!

Or Is it??? No actually, it isn’t tommarow yet… -Facepalm-

i am so glad that you spelled definitely correctly
‘definately’ irks me to no end

why hello there! I have a shadow now, first order of business…make me a sandvich

hmmm I wonder what a shadow sandvich tastes like…*chases shadow like tail for 5 minutes* I %$#@ing give up, I’m gonna go make a normal sandvich…

WTF That was uncalled for…

Paulo REALLY needs to stop daydreaming.

Oh good, this daydream is over, now we can get more jasmine screentime.

I’m already anxious for the next update…I need to get some friggin’ sleep already XP

I am so glad that that was just a daydream.

Daydream older Lucy w/o ribbon was scary. Real older Lucy should keep ribbon.

Really though, this whole arc was great. Kinda restored my faith in this comic, after god knows how many pages of Stagnant, painful relationships and crying Lucy.

i wonder how long paulo was just standing there?

Bravo tashi, all I can sat, bravo

“You’re a virgin, right?”

Bahahah!

-insert immensely contented sigh here-

Another great arc, Taeshi, and a wonderful look into the world of ‘what-if’. It might have all been technically in Paulo’s mind, but it was still a lovely story and a good look at a ‘what might have been’ ending. It was actually kinda refreshing seeing Paulo as something other than the wise-assed goof he usually is.

Looking forward for the next chapter! Keep up the excellent work! ^_^

paulo need to do some thing to make out his mess, other wys he need to say sorry to lucy. or some thing like that

WOO, immensly early update!

Haha, I love staying up late on my computer

lol, smooth as always Paulo.

oh well, I guess somethings are best left unknown, though I’m pretty sure your average woman would hate your guts for screwing her in a weakened mental state.

Has anyone considered that at this point there’s as much chance of Lucy getting with Amaya as Mike or Paulo…?

Seriously, She’s already given up on Mike for the moment (and he’s still all stuck up), and she’s ****** off at Paulo(who is stuck in a difficult situation already)… Regardless of which one you’re rooting for, she won’t end up with either for a long time.

@Sciver: meh, its still fun to wonder

In the end, that’s all people like us want…just want someone to say “I love you.”

….

Pretty good end to this chapter. That was one damn long daydream though. If there was any doubt before, we know now how into Lucy he is. I look forward to seeing what happens in the next chapter.

i bet I’m the first person to say this… HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAISY!!!

Thats what im gonna say if i run into a chick in a hallway now

GOD 3 HOURS LATER AND YM STILL READYING THE COMIC AGAIN ITS, JUST, TO, ADDICTIN, I JUST WANT TO PLAY HALO REACH [RELIS ME FROM YOUR SPELL TAESHI!!!!!!!] (passes out)

I can’t really think of a better way to get out of a day dream than by running into the girl OF MY DAYDREAM!

Bah, I’m still happy I managed to do that tribute to Paulo’s Dad and The Engineer.

fail paulo

I’m gonna miss that fantasy realm where everything was as it should be and I didn’t have to worry about one of the characters I love so much being sad or hurt or in a depression…. Reality bums me out.

Best chapter ever! ^^

Man what an epic daydream …..I wonder how long he was standing there thinking about it

Paulo: Oh Lucy-chan ¦3 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

WAAAAAAAAAH~!!! !!! IT WAS TOO AWESOME TO END OTL! All good things must come to an end ~ BACK TO REALITY!
well fiction reality ne :3~!!! great work TEASHIIIIIII~!!!! GANBATTEEEEEE~!!!!!

finnally the supporters of pauloxlucy will stop sending me nasty e-mails…I hope.

Yay. My hunch of Lucy getting out of his dream is right!

That was incredibly sad. Paulo was the nice guy, and he lost out because of it. This will probably remain one of my favorite chapters even though it was just intended as filler.

Maybe he’s right… Then again, maybe he’s not. Only one way ta find out, Paulo!

Wait what? No don’t do that stupid! XP

:3 omygoshilovedthatsomuch!!!

saying random things right after a daydream will really get you knocked out.

and now you must make that happen for that was epic and we need paulo and lucy together and mike shoved in a blender

I didn’t actually enjoy this chapter much
I personally detest LucyxPaulo, But in any case, I digress.
Well done.

I agree with Rukrai and Owen minus the blender.

Awe. Go back to the day dream! >.

Damn it, I was waiting to see Paulo wake up in the hospital, waking up from a comatose state of 2 days. Ya know, daydreams THIS long can’t happen while you walk from point A to point B insid a classroom.

Anyways, nice conclusion. Waiting for more drama next monday.

Poor Paulo… Oh, nevermind… She’s a bitch…

Aw Paulo, I’d date u ;D (What’s that word for a human loving an animal??? Beasta-dofisfon)

Hooray for normality! Well….As normal as this comic gets.

That was one hell of a long dream…

Awww… Me want PauloxLucy babies… *SHOT*

nice word you get there ” Virgin” *hmph*

Wait a minute, next chapter will be daydream again??

Next chapter is apparently halloween

@ZZZ=222- I think in these circumstances it’s more along the lines of ‘Furry’.

…So it’ll be a daydream? Or angsty Mike?

Don’t date Paulo. He has a barbed dick.

what a way to end

Sooo Saaaaad
But i hope everything will turn out just fine anyways °^

ooo no it ended im sad this was my fave even tho it was just a dream i loved it

Yay, return to reality land.
With cats, in high school and talking and stuff
Okay, YAY, return to normal BCB universe!

dude wtf . O_o mind ****ed. wat the hell just happened?

Ah back to the simple things.

Blahh back to the drama we’ve come to know and love.

I give thumbs up because I don’t know what else to give.

I mean, really, the only things we can really give Taeshi is our support of doing whatever she wants to do. I enjoyed this chapter immensely. Dunno why people don’t like the flash back.

It’s not a flashback, it’s a daydream I believe.

I nearly had a heart attack for a moment when I first read it thinking it actually happened.

I guess the banner really was a necessity. that kinda makes me sad

Aaaaaaaand there’s the Paulo we all know.

[Now exiting daydream. Mind the bump.]

~Neko

I knew it from the start; Paulo wasn’t going to have a dream where everything turned out bad. Now that I think about it, it was pretty obvious. Ya know with Paulo’s personality and how short the chapter was. Heck, just three or four pages in, anyone could tell, but the outcome was everything I expected. Well done Veronica. Another successful chapter. What lies in wait for us fans and critics? Only time will tell, but I’m sure it will be good. Don’t give up, no matter what they say. You have a great thing going here, and The guy that nobody knows is a supporter, remember that and that many others are. Here’s to BCB!

The day dream is over, and so your dreams to be with your loved one, Paulo. Face upon this new day, this new step, this new lesson and keep walking until a day in that your dream will come true. That, of course, will be Taeshi’s will if that is how should be or not.

Wednesday, we’ll wait until then to see the present and the new story. I’m waiting…

man it makes me sad that it was just a daydream

You know? this Chapter totally is a great showing of how the world works. Sometimes do the morally right thing. Then everything goes bad for you. Sometimes do the morally wrong thing. Everything ends up being great for you.

Poor Paulo, alternate him had so much going for him.

Finally!

FINALLY.

MORE MCCAIN NOW?

That was so well done.

MOAR OF THIS PLZKTHX.

YES!! WELL DONE PAULO!!

… >={ so let me get this straight…if Paulo would have taken advantage of the moment and slept with Lucy he would have learned a valuable lesson, his previous character development would have continue to develop, the tension between them would have resolved themselves, and most importantly he wouldn’t have became a man *****. >X[… WWWHHHHYYYyyyyywho cares *turns over and falls asleep*

@SWM This is a what if from Paulo’s mind. This is what he imagines would have happened, it doesn’t mean it really would have. Its like this: You work at a place and you make a mistake and don’t get the “big promotion” you were working for. You imagine that if you didn’t make the mistake you’d have got the promotion, right? Well, maybe but there’s also a good chance that the guy who did get it was better anyway, or knew a guy who knew a guy.

All we learned from this was that Paulo really does love Lucy and she’s not just another empty box on his “to do” list.

@Taeshi: I don’t believe there are words that could describe how awes- goo- exc-… See what I mean? Anyway, if possible start making plushes.

Well, I’m glad this is over but it was indeed enjoyable.

Unfortunately for Paulo he must suffer through the torture of “What could have been”, but with his Lady-Sexin’ skills, I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Lucy just happens to be the one that got away, that’s all.

Also, I’m not sure if I’m for MikeXLucy or MikeXSandy. It really sux to be him right now…

omg that was perfect xD ‘You’re definitely a virgin, right?’

b’awwwww it ended :’( ngl, I was loving the Paulo/Lucy.

I agree with the first poster. One of the best chapters yet .
I wasn’t PauloxLucy to start with, but I certainly am now .

ahh
this was a very good sub story and well written
i can’t wait for the next chapter

I really could not have ask for a better ending to this arc. Nicely done, Taeshi. Nicely done.

Lets see a David-Lucy daydream now.

And what, will Taeshi (/Suitcase) think of next I wonder?

this ending really was nice…and the first line out of a daydream like that is pure lol

the chapter was good but i dont rely care ho lucy ends up at the end as long as its ether palou or mchail

@Ellit Yoshi
You sir, need to learn how to spell words.

MikexLucy fan(s) now offically converted to the PauloxLucy school of thinking if this does actually happen somewhere along the line… I honestly can’t see MikexLucy working out now but I suppose that’s a good thing now!! *Favorites every page in this chapter* The only problem is that I don;t think I’ll be able to see the characters in any other light. Even when Lucy’s kicking Yashy into the sun for the umptheenth time, I’ll still be seeing her as the happy, peaceful girl sitting by the lake with Paulo. So does that mean the comic is ruined or put into an entirely different light with different expectations, highs and lows where relationships are concerned? Meh, I’ll find out Wednesday I guess.

Long post is looooong

@(nameless)
Suitcase:
“God, I hate this crap! It so booooooriinnnngg!!!”

I LOVE IT!

That’s so sad! EVen though Lucy’s a tad more in character now (sawwie) I was so loving all the romance between them!!!

Ahem Elliot… I have not converted yet! MikeXLucy FOREVAH!

I concur. The battle is not yet lost!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAISY.
*brick’d*

I really liked this story. I do pull for the LucyxPaulo match up, but maybe there is a chance now without baby drama circumstances. I personally think a LucyxMike pairing would be an unhealthy relationship….

I can safely say that I’m both a MikexLucy and LucyxPaulo, and I find the LucyxPaulo pairing to be pretty cute but I can not see it happening sometime soon I mean after all Lucy is most likely still furious at Paulo “what he just said does not help either”.

MikexLucy won’t work either if Mike continues to be a damn dreamer trying to chase after a girl he has not met since early childhood.

So really we can all easily agree that the first person to fix themselves up “Paulo’s promiscuous behavior and Mike’s Delirium” has the best chance of being with Lucy.

I think that Mike is just using Sandy as a veil to hide his true emotions for whatever reason.

Nope, he’s just a DUECHEBAG hahahahahaahahahahahah!

damn he woke up xD

Aw, sad.

I just finished reading through the archives and this has to be one of my favorites, although Paulo seems to flip flop around way to much when it comes to love. Also, why always true love? Why not love as in a brother or a sister? If two people love each other but always fight and compete, the far more frequent term is “sibling rivalry”.

An entire CHAPTER of Mike just thinking about meeting Sandy? Not even imagining it? No, I don’t think I can handle that *hides*

finally he woke up yes!!!!!!!!! cant wait for the next chapter

Well, we could hope he strangles her.

Hey——Im a newbi in the comic writting world—-Im makeing a comic on facebook about sons of gods and stuff like that——-Its guna be low quality just for a warning—-it updates every other day since i have shcool work to waste my time on——-Id realy apriate it if some of you bittersweet candy bowl readers would check me out every week or so——-The comic is called daybreak—-Search up DayBreak602@hotmail.com to find it on facebook———And to the writter I FRICKIN LOVE THIS COMIC And it would be frickin sweet if u added me on facebook and gave me some pointers—But ya….please check it out——-First 3 pages due In 3 hours or less

Awwwww, how sad. Cute and sad. Poor Paulo.

nuuuuu!!!!!!!
but hey,
the show (or story in our case) must go on!

I really enjoyed his daydream!

Great job Paulo You don’t ask questions like that to Lucy.

…back to mean old Lucy…
*sigh*

Tact. Paulo still fails it. Also, I lol’d.

Sorry, but that chapter was AWESOME! Complainers might have complained, but I loved every moment of it. And classic Lucy for the end. Good times.

Is it just me or has David just randomly gotten taller?

Awwww, poor Paulo… That was the best day dream ever

shame its only a daydream paulo’s dad totaly rocks

aww man…
but yay!
back to reality!
i wonder whats next…
-ponders at the thought-
…
i want next page… I . I

Paulo, my sympathies, for worrying about what could’ve been is far worse then any slap across the face. Though definitely on of my favorite lines, and definitely one of the best chapters. Hang in there kitty.

It’s kinda like the stewie kills Lois episode but at least it doesn’t end with a stupid fade to bla……………….

I KNEW HES REGRETING! silleh silleh paulo :3

I love this ending.

hay Paulo at least your safe inside yo__——……….. * light-bulb*

That was reality. Even though he thought it was fake, the DREAM was real.
Taeshi you make me wander weather or not his dream will make him confess the love thing to Lucy, or if everyone is just suppose to forget it for the next comic, or if it come back up later

only time will tell

Ok I’m rofling that somebody wrote duechebag !

Seriously what do you have against the Germans?



Anyway, Paulo was mostly reformed until David-the-amazing-******* showed up… if I were Paulo I’d punch him for ruining my happy future!

And if I were me I’d… wait… *runs off to sharpen my knife collection*
If anyone asks I was with you people between 2 and 4AM GMT-5!!

WHAT IS THIS DEUS EX MACHINA I DON’T EVEN?!

AAAWWWW

I think he should push her down the stairs

P.S. Paulo x David 4 evar

*Sigh* Oh, for the “would-be”s…the “might-have”, “could-have-beens”… Sometimes fantasy can be more enjoyable than reality, but remember what Dumbledore said: “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

Dumbledore is dead (unless you watch Potter Puppet Pals, then he’s deranged).

AWWW it lives to it’s name a sweet ending =]

Dumbledore was probably made fun of as a kid, despite his awesomeness…I’d probably make fun of him too XP

YAY ITS OVER! ¬_¬

I HAVEN’T SEEN MIKE FOR A WHILE

I MAD

Finally, after three sleepless night, I have made it to the present of this comic. I really enjoyed the drama and character development the whole way through. They are all SO much fun to watch; I was entertained.
And your improvement in the art section kept me going through the background-less beginnings. So kuddos to that. ^_^
On a different point, it is their status of being the main characters that allows them to not have to wear clothes. That’s just what I think. I know there are exceptions (when they went to the beach, Daisy, etc.), but yeah, I’m guessing that’s just how the comic started and by the time all the minor characters were wearing clothes, their nakedness was considered normal (with the exception of the high school main characters; kind of how I realized this idea).
BUT I do think it would be appropriate to get them some clothes once they graduate in a couple of years. Just food-for-thought. >.> <.

i thought the comic was ending
;) and :b

>

Paulo, stop Talking to David.
David, go jump in a meat grinder.
Those 2 actions wil make the comic perfect

@Ominous: Surfing David on a tidal wave of destiny would also be pretty sweet.

Possibly while fighting ninjas. Trained by David Bowie.

Woulda’ been a cuter ending if she’d gotten Jaz to come in at the end to bring Paulo back to all he’s got now. ^^

This comic rocks.

woo! Paulo X Jasmine

I just sense great chemistry from those two. Plus I think dating outside of his friend group is better idea.

Back to drama in less than 24 hours lolololol.

David is also pretty patient, seeing as he waited for Paulo to finish his whole daydream. Then again, we kind of already knew that because stalking the flower girl must take a lot of patience, too

@Taeshi so you are saying that this was before he started dating the other girls?

Based on the where Paulo was struck, I’m realizing that Lucy is a lefty.

@Renadt: Yeah he runs around naked!

All of this happened between c55/p4 and c55/p5 as best I can figure… it’s the only place it could happen that was before the nightclub bathroom.

Frankly my dear. I don’t give a darn.

Well that was smooth.

quite frankly that was a fail but paulo got off easy i saw a dude nailed in junk for asking something like that may his future children rest in peace lol

Aww sad for Paulo, and even more for Lucy! And she doesn’t even know!

his mistake wasn’t not to sleep with her, it was going and screwing a ton of other girls

Yeah

If this storyline fits in between two previous ones, why is it here, out of order? Is it just that’s when it was made?

^^ And yeah, What kite said. David gives bad advice.

@Taeshi
what? im confused.. o.o
lol

Subject-Delta, congrats!

Achievement unlocked- 5000G
Obscure reference understood
Given to one who not only understands but can cite reference as well. Congrats!

I feel so special! *sob*

What did you ask again? I forgot! Never mind! I remember! I have horrible memory! No I am not an old man. *crack* Ow my hip!

Yesssssss…….

Twas only a dream.

(Wakes up skreaming)
my girlfriend: Whats wrong?
Me: Just a terrible nightmare.
My girlfriend:What?
Me: Lucy was with someone other then Mike!
My girlfriend: Dont say such things!

Lucy should be with someone other than Maishul. I lost all respect for a MikexLucy in the fifties (chapterwise). And Subject-Delta, you just referenced Potter Puppet Pals accurately. Here’s to Harry! School is for Losers! Potter+Sax=AWESOME!

@Lark90
xD lol

Knowing Lucy thing would never turn out this way

i need the next chapter now

wait so they didnt do it i so confuzzled

@ koikoi

That whole chapter was Paulo’s daydream

P.S. I think Paulo should push Lucy down the stairs…

lol ok ok n i so agree with that X3

⌘R

Chapter”s called “Another Path”. It”s essentially what would’ve happened had Paulo done what depressed Lucy wanted. The path not taken, you see. Or what could have been. Long story short, happy Lucy was great. Oh well. Reality marches on.

Talking about “what really happens-what would have happened” seems a little weird for a comic book, i might be stretching this, but in the end it feels like the author wanted to see where both paths could go and made them both, but decided to go with one because the other one would mean “happiness” for both lucy and paolo, wich is an awfull story line where “drama” is the main course

nonetheless, this worked good for the emotional background of “Paolo”, and painted his true feeling instead of dwelling in his “jackassery” that is displayed all the time

character development is a tricky business, because now we know much more about one character than the others, and the audience might feel compelled to “ask” for a certain route in which the character we have come to know is more appealing than, say, the main characters

this will probably result in a side arc where “Paolo” finds someone to fill his need of “love” instead of the main girl, who will inevitably still be in “love” with the main guy.

so, all this “character development” is stalemate because noting will come out of it, lucy “cant” be with paolo because she is grieving over someone else, paolo “cant” be with lucy because that would mean he would be happy (wich cant happen in this kind of comics) and further down the line “something” will happen that will paint paolo in a darker side than the main character because, well, he is stealing the spotlight and we cant have that, can we??

Just My Opinion, Really.

did david get taller?

After aaaaallllll of that, David sums it up with “She’d totally hate you.” Ugh. x3

oh paulo. poor poor paulo

… wow… that was just mean. poor paulo

Aaaaghaghhh TT_TT I cryed my eyes out through this chapter… Damn you for giving me mixed feelings!

Even though only the first and last panels are really part of the main story, the epilogue struck a chord, and I am PauloXLucy forevers!!

On a related note, this solidifies my final pairings:
MikeXSandy ( see Ch. 58 “To the top” )
PauloXLucy
SueXMcCain
AbbyXDaisy

X3 I loved this last chapter! Paulo used to annoy me in the beginning, but he’s really grown on me as a character. Here’s hoping he and Lucy DO eventually end up together.

OH MY GOD IT WAS ALL FAKE I NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION. ****

Awww :C I liked how it was going! It would be a great ending for Lucy to end up with Paulo and Mike with Sandy!

oh my god, that was so sad.

i’ve been gone for almost two weeks and i come back and that was totally cute ad sad, and i sound so dumb rambling like this. waaah

And paulo relizes what a mistake he made, or did he?

Don’t second guess yourself now, Paulo! You did the right thing.

That was a awesome chapter! I swear Taeshi, you are a genius.

every1 is a genius in some sort of way, “mentally slow” people are geniuses at happiness(HA!), and taeshi is a genius at drama, i salute u

a shoot and a miss lol, geeze are going to see alt demsion every Character hooking up with lucy acutlly that might be good idea maybe next one will be with McCain or David or she completly give up guys now that would be sureal hehe.

You know Paulo is better for Lucy if you think about it…

Mike came crawing back to lucy after sandy left once, but Lucy had no other friends so she forgives him so she would not be alone. but now, as we saw before, she has friends like Paulo who she can go to. Mike told Lucy that someone far away was way more important than Lucy, so whats to say if Sandy breaks up with Mike he won’t come cawing back again? whats he going to say “hey i know i said someone far away was more important, but want to forget that and go out?” i don’t think it would work to well for him.

Paulo on the other hand, changed himself for Lucy which backfired on him, tryed to cheer Lucy up when mike went ******* on her, and did’t take advantage of Lucy in real life (or comic life?) when she was depressed and asking for it. but did bang 2 other chicks, (but for that, i blame David because he made Paulo feal bad for not taking advantage of Lucy) but they took advantage of him to bother Tess. he also did alot more for lucy, but this comment in long enough.

Think who would be more better for Lucy?

Thank god this is over I absolutly hated it not because im a ” waaaahhhhh it’s no real!” guy but becaus I hate Paulo

…Fortunately, it was only a dream… For everyone involved…

((((((((((

I went through and read all the comics in 2 days up until this one. Then I came to it.
Sigh.
So sad. And so depressing. To think Paulo and Lucy could have been something with such a happy ending…

I’M SO SAD OMG WHY DID THE COMIC HAVE TO END HERE NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER FOR UPDATES ((((((((((((((((((

sigh Lucy would have been so happy..

I am very sad.
Very.
Very sad.
That was a perfect (yet blunt) end.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-YESSSSS
LucyxPaulo
LucyxMike

Thank you lord and jesus! I would have cried if Paulo and Lucy would have wound up together! >_< I don’t give a flying flidoodle about Sandy, it should be Mike and Lucy all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~~~

Ok, I spent yesterday reading the whole comic, and this was easily my fave chapter. I just really liked the direction the story took with that path…

Probably doesn’t help I see Mike as an asshat.

Keep up the great work!

Nice job with that chapter.

David is taking it all in his stride.

wow i love this comic its got drama, romance and a teen life stile sooooo kwl

OH GOD IT WAS A DAY DREAM. WHAT.
I am very unobservant. /hit

nonoNONONONONO!!! LUCYxPAULO DEWDS! HE’S ALWAYS THERE FOR HER…

DEYUM….XD

oh… em… GODDAMFRIGGIN GEE!!!! :luvluvluvluvluvluvluvluvluvluvluv:

MAAAAAAAN OOOOOOHHHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAAN THAT CHAPTER WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A HEARTH ATTACK in my book paulo did the right thing

….. EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOGUS!

seriously, you are just down right mean to these characters

Awwww, poor Paulo! Que desgracia!!!

NOOO
DONT END :’( :’(

If only all that was for real! D’: Poor Paulo

OMG THIS WAS LIKE THE BEST CHAPTER EVER ITS SOOO GOOOD!!!! <3

oh man I’m so glad it didn’t actually happened.

Great what if, just wondering how it would of went in that what if if Lucy did get pregnant

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE PAULO X LUCY SHIPPING IS ENDING!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else have what seems like super long daydreams flash through your head in the space of a few seconds?

I thought that whole storyline was a bit too happy for this comic. Too bad. ^^

awwwwww poor Paulo

Awwww TT^TT

@ damon; Believe me. I do all the time.(Pauloxlucy)

though this was sort of not canon and was all just a day dream (paulo and David probably missed like 3 classes on it just sitting there) this was a great chapter. great friggin job Tae-chan.

X3

Lol mikexlucy shippers. Mike hates Lucy, the end. At least Lucy still kind of likes Paulo.

I really and truly want those two to be together. In my opinion, Lucy and Paulo just makes more sense than Lucy and Mike. Not sure if you are trying to nudge perspective in that direction, or not, but it’s how I feel.

Also, in terms of Mike, I don’t care how you feel about someone, if they say they love you you don’t respond “No.” It’s like the opposite of when you ask someone out. Don’t make excuse, just say no. But with a love confession, you have to be a little less blunt. Especially if you are their best friend.

AHHHHHH!!!!! I WISH THAT WERE SO REAL!

D8 … But… I like PauloxLucy… fffff

Though the one who’s name I’m stealing stalks Lucy, I was so sad at the end of this arc to wonder, what if? Paulo is good. Mike is emo. Angsty. Most likely on a drawn out period. And I hope Sandy turns out to be sone random model that he’s having schizophrenic delusions about.

Next time, don’t wake up, Paulo..

I have to say, that if his day dream had been what had happened, I would not have been disappointed. I really like Paulo as a character and he reminds me of how I might’ve turned out had I been in public school instead of being home schooled all the way through 9th grade.

I honestly feel he deserves better than he’s gotten. He’s a sweet guy at heart, but puts on a show to try to seem stronger than he really is. I do like the way he’s developed as a character so far though.

What a ride.

Careful now Paulo, the surest way to broken soul is the thought of “If only…”

The best chapter that I could’ve possibly hoped for unfortunately draws to a close. It’s so surreal…Paulo had his one chance and he blew it, by playing the good guy. But that’s the sorry thing about life. You never know if what you do and when you do it is the best thing. Paulo didn’t know, but if he did, I hope he would’ve gone after it. I’ve kind of been in the same situation, but to a lesser degree. And I can’t daydream it very well, of how it could’ve gone.

The terrible thing is that even if Paulo didn’t sex Lucy up, he still had a chance with her. They were getting closer afterwards; we could tell. David, however, went and took a **** all over that because he per-pressured Paulo into becoming a man-***** again. I hate David because of that. Jasmine also came in, and…Ugh. It just became a mess.

Despite this being a non-canon chapter, I don’t feel bad for spending my time reading it. It really was one of the true highlights of the whole comic.

Fans of LucyXMike…Kiss my ***. After reading this chapter, how could you possibly feel that Mike would be better for Lucy than Paulo? ********. I hate Mike. I hope he stays with Sandy and is happy with her.

SO, this whole chapter means that the ending won’t have Lucy and Paulo be together. I think that’s jumping the gun a little too soon, Taeshi, but whatever. Just eliminate one possibility like it’s nothing…That ruins it for a lot of fans, like myself. But you said you already have the ending planned out, so I don’t know why I’m complaining…Oh, because my favorite couple is officially out the window. You could’ve had us in suspense till the very end, but no…

Despite this not actually happening, I’m still crossing my fingers that they might have a brief fling. And I don’t mean a sexual relationship, necessarily; I mean actually going out. Dating, in other words.

There’s plenty of time between now and 2013, isn’t there? While I’m sure Lucy and Paulo ultimately won’t end up together, as this chapter proves, I hope they’ll be together at least temporarily, and in canon-time, too. At least give us that much, Taeshi. Please?

So yeah. I’ll never stop being a LucyXPaulo fan. I’m sticking to my guns and standing proud.

PAULO!! U SCREW UP!!! OH! I GET IT! 1 SEC UR TELLIN LUCY U LOVE HER, THEN THE NEXT UR DATING SOME1 ELSE!?! WHAT THE &%@$ MAN!

This is how this should have been. Not trying to tell you how you should run your party, but I agree Mike deserves nothing. I understand that he has Sandy and all but come on dude.
There are ten thousand ways to deal with this situation and you did them completely wrong. Paulo all the way…If he gets a little less perverted.

If I was Sandy I would come back just to punch Mike in the face…

NOW BACK TO REALITY, WHERE PAULO HAD SEX WITH 2 ******, AND EVERYBODY (except David) HATES THE **** OUT OF HIM!
^_^ The Drama may now resume!

Damn the chapter made me mad… sorry to say everyone… But I hate the idea of Paulo and Lucy together… it annoys and angers me. Truly… Mike is hers… I know it… hah… comics getting in my head… MikexLucy

How sad. Paulo and Lucy could have actually had a happy ending….

A very good ending for a very good chapter. Would not have it any other way.

*High-five Fireboy*

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I READ THIS CHAPTER AND NOW I FIND OUT IT’S A DREAM!?

Ok, I know I said I didn’t really have a character type after the last chapter ended.
But I’m pretty much a LucyxPaulo fan.
Or maybe not.
GOD I’M SO CONFLICTED WITH FEELINGS RIGHT NOW~

im sorry fo the quick judgments on the other pages. i hadent known that that was just ’s hindsight working and my x blinding my judgement. to all readers of the series and any other story alike i have this to say. read the same thing more than once and you will understand it better.

PS if you saw the above comment on another page its because i failed at navigating the archives sorry

And now I’m sad cause the awsomest part of the comic (so far) is over

Dawness: Me and SuperSonic are disappointed in you.

Very

LucyxMike forever!

I’m disappointed also… although… I’m starting to think Sandy is for Mike… erg…

NIGHTMARE OVAH BOO-YAH Hi-5 … no one ? F**k you guys !!!! Jk-ing I love u now that it’s over I can go back to my work happy : 3…… What ?!?!??!?! Killing ******* is not a job?!?!?!?! F**k then my hobby ! : ] heheh Have nice day

Oh good!

Thought that was how it was going to be…

Woulda be a TERRIBLE ending…

Heh… got the Lucy X Paulo outta your system with this, I hope.

It was pretty touching. It worked well as a daydream.

But soon as Mike pulls his head outta his *** he’s a good kid. Jes’ bein’ stubborn and frustrated, is all.When you drop that stuff, he and Lucy deserve each other.

They really do.

I hope to God above that it ain’t gonna end with Mike X Sandy.

… That would just break my heart. Would be all depressed and wishing I’d never laid eyes upon this comic, if that happened, no matter how sweetly this bittersweet lovefest ends. Honestly though… please don’t.

Not gonna cry… Not gonna… C-cryyyyYYYWHHAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Oh ****, that was one detailed extensive daydream! No LucyxPaulo today :p

How proud I am of Paulo: Very proud
*Reads this page*
Oh… Ok.
How proud I am of Paulo: Rather Proud

YES YOU COULD HAVE HAD HAPPY ENDING BUT YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, SUCKS TO BE YOU LOL


I had to write that in all caps

I KNEW IT

WHY COULDN’T THAT HAVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED. GRR.

lol davids all lookin like ’ - ‘

damn. that woulda been a much happier plot line. im off my old MikexLucy ship but this would have been nice too. id like someone to get their **** straight soon.

Awwww. My dear sweet romantic Paulo.

You will find the right girl eventually, P.

Heck, Jasmine seems pretty awesome, if weirdly loli.

WAAAAHAHAHAAHA THAT WAS A ****ED UP DREAM!?

Close shave.

Oh crap, glad that was a dream.

@JeffMScratch I litterally yelled that out. NO LucyxPaulo, LUCY must have MIKE!

The one time anywhere in the comic when I’ve seen Lucy at peace, never really happened.



FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Bittersweet? There’s been just a bit too much bitter lately for my taste.

Lucy x Paulo. Nuff said

“sigh” if this chapter was real in mischief night have mike go get Lucy and her already be gone with Paulo and jasmine would have lost the election in feline filibuster in pillow talk they would ask how her and Paulo got so close so quickly and Katie would say that it’s like they did it and Lucy would look embarrassed and Amaya would yell out NO WAY!!! and Tess would pass out then David would yell OH THIS IS BULL SH*T and get in trouble and Augustus wouldn’t have Lucy after him in December Paulo and Lucy would be partner’s for some reason then at some point mike would be walking and see them making out and freak out and then so on and so fourth

…and I was thinking:
It would really suck for Pablo if it was a dream

I liked Paulo’s day dream better than the actual story. It would have been so good if that was the actual outcome!

Oh I get it now. (Totally knew it.)

I like this ending a lot more than what actually happened. Paulo and Lucy make an awesome couple! Though Jasmine’s still pretty cool too (she’s one of my favourite characters).

Well, I was totally mikeXlucy but after this… team pauloXlucy has gained me.

Wow!!… This 1 was great wat was meant to be lucy&paulo.

AGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! This was the best chapter!

its so sad that they didnt actually end up together this chapter was rly good my favorite by fare i think this path would have been a rly nice end for the hole thing and i sorta wish paulo and lucys relationship ened up this way its rly nice and a very happy ending as well as a joy full one i think the writer did a amaizing job on this chapter ^u^

2 things:
1. I’m happy this chapter had nothing
To do with story.
2. I think Pailo’s dad needs to start
Disciplining his son more than he does.

I LOVED ALL OF THAT!!!

All of my PauloXLucy Feels!

Best…Dang…Daydream….EVAAAAAAAA

Did you just pull an assassins creed ending? What the fuuu…… I skimmed the whole thing, so I was just left off 0_o (plus the me3 soundtrack goes perfectly here

I’m kinda high off of caffeine right now soo… Yeah…

I really enjoy everything about these comics, the different emotions, the change of colours in panels with mood, and just the drawing style. BCB is an excellently drawn and is intriguing to readers of all ages. Thank you for making this comic worth waiting for updates and rereading late into the night

OnO why did that have to be a dream………………….WHY?

So totally wanted to see that happen.

Now i’m going to lay down on the flood and cry.

WHOAWAITWHATTHEFUDGE!? o_O YOU REALLY HAD ME GOIN’ THERE!! Not in the way that made me think it was the end, since I already know there are quite a few chapters left, but… DANG YOU FOOLED ME! O_O I knew something was odd when Lucy suddenly went back to her “rebounding” self, did it with him, etc., but what kind of daydream was THAT!?

OH GOOD YOU DIDNT END IT….right?

It’s over already? Son of a Lucy and Paulo!

Sorry about earlier comment for a second I forgot it a dream, so Lucy is still a vrigin and I would hate to imagine the impact if this was real on Mile and Lucy’s, now buckling relationship.

If I ever forget why I’m a PauloxLucy shipper, I just have to reread this and Another Shoulder and I remember.

I wish that was what happened.

OMG… I actually thought that this *daydream* was fow realz… Man, I got to read the comic again…

I don’t know who to ship anymore…. Mikexlucy Pauloxlucy…..

This chapter broke my heart! PAULO MY BABY! *ugly crying*

dude i come back to reread this chapter like weekly
god damn it’s so good

Paulo and Lucy need to end up together. Mike isn’t right for her. He’s too selfish to properly care for Lucy. Unlike Paulo. He may be a little hotblooded and immature, but he genuinely cares for Lucy.

Hmm…

I wonder if at the end of this comic, there will be a sequel where everyone is in adulthood and they have children. (A.K.A. Making another long and wonderful comic <3)

Ohmygod, I was so hoping this could be real. :’(

Only a dream? DAMNIT TO ALL! Paulo would be an awesome guy, as I think I read here before, Paulo is a jerk, but not a jerk enough to not have SOMEONE to make him happy, Lucy would be perfect, if she would come out of her asinine attitude towards everyone. He’s done a lot for Lucy, yet she calls him names all the time, i’m really confused as to whether it’s a love-tease kind of thing, or whether it’s a being-mean-and-she-doesn’t-really-like-him kind of thing.

… I would like to formally rescind a comment I made during the chapter on Sandy. MikexLucy is no more, Sandy can have him. I’M JUMPING SHIP GUYS. THIS SHIP IS NOW MY OTP. Too bad my friends would call me dumb for reading this good of a comic, because cats, and teen drama TT.TT

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO *2 hour’s later* I WANTED THE OTHER REALITY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
*Shot’s self*

I’m so done with BCB. I cried, happily. Heart shattered, wowe. I have to admit, I ship Palucy (Paulo x Lucy) preeetty hard, alongside Abbey and Daisy. This chapter broke me. I feel bad for Paulo honestly, and I just can’t stop reading!

This is crazy but.. I’m gonna stop reading now, here. At least for a while. I read this comic to make me happy, right? Well this world does it. So for a while at least, when I think of BSC, I’m gonna believe in this world, because it makes me the happiest. It’s just a daydream yeah, but this is all fiction, so I’m sticking to the fiction I want. See y’all in a while!
