*Paulo stands with a sly smile on his face.*
Paulo: So.. girl troubles again, Mike?

*Mike looks perplexed.*
Mike: Yeah. I don’t know why they find me so.. likable.
David: Maybe it’s the whiskers.

Paulo: I don’t know why you’re being such a wimp! Just say yes to all of them! You’re the man, after all.

Paulo: I’m sure they won’t mind sharing. And if they do, ditch ’em!
*In Paulo’s fantasy a heroic Mike stands in front of an adoring crowd.*
Mike: I’m an all-woman man.
Generic background characters: ♥ Yay!! ♥

Paulo: Just think of it, dude! An entire harem to yourself.
*Paulo imagines multiple girls clinging to a grinning Mike.*

Mike: But Lucy wouldn’t ever be a part of that. She doesn’t like me that way..

*Paulo and David raise their hands with blank expressions.*
Paulo and David: I’ll have her.

Mike: First off, you’re into someone else, David. And Paulo, you’re a jerk.
*Paulo looks outraged, while David looks anxious.*
Paulo: HEY!
David: My secret!

*Mike sighs.*
Mike: I’ll do the right thing and say no to everybody.
Mike: I shoulda done it to begin with.

[Caption: Later]
*Sue and Amaya look sad, while Daisy looks totally heartbroken.*
Mike: I’m sorry, girls. I really didn’t want to lead any of you on..

*Mike looks surprised as three girls appear behind him.*
The Three Weird Girls: And that’s because you were waiting on us, right Mikie~? ♥
Mike: Guh..

*The girls are wearing helmets.*
Girl 1: Can you take me out?
Girl 2: Me too~!
Girl 3: I’ll make it worth your while.. ♥

*Mike looks confused.*
Mike: Uh.. what’s with the helmets?
Girl 3: Well..

*A dot appears in the sky, approaching fast.*

Yashy: UPPAH CUT!!!
*Yashy hits one of the girls on the head, to no effect.*

*Daisy stands in the background, tears in her eyes. Paulo puts a hand on Mike’s shoulder.*
Paulo: Oh, c’mon Mike! Monogamy is so yesterday! Just go out with all of ’em!!

Daisy: But Paulo, didn’t you say your time with Alegria left you daydreaming about finding that “one special girl” you could spend your life with?
*Paulo looks deeply embarrassed.*

[An arrow, pointed to Paulo: committing seppuku]
*Daisy flaps her arms at Paulo.*
Daisy: What? What’d I say?!
Mike: This day is getting too damn stressful!
Lucy: Sure is, pedo
*Yashy waves her arms about.*
Yashy: NO!!

Author commentary

Veronica: The Burden of Parenthood will forever haunt Paulo… he cannot escape the power of Alegria.

Paulo was polyamory-friendly before it was cool.

poor mike… honestly, if i were him, i’d enjoy being wanted by so many woman and just ask the one that i wanted in my heart. it’s the best way to go. plus, monogomy is not dead paulo, you’re just jealous that mike is so appealing. to the emo corner with you XD
