*Paulo knocks on a door.*

*Lucy opens the door and peeks out, surprised.*
Lucy: ?

*Paulo and Daisy stand outside, soaked and out of breath. Paulo is cradling the injured bird.*

*Lucy looks at them, bewildered.*

Lucy: What’s up with birds and rain?
*Lucy looks away, annoyed. Paulo grins sheepishly.*

*Daisy gets right up in Lucy’s face, pleading.*
Daisy: Lucyyy!! Ya gotta help! I think it was run over an’ an’--
*Lucy considers her with a blank expression.*

*Lucy smirks.*
Lucy: Wow, Daisy. What happened to you?
*Daisy blushes.*

Daisy: I have to go to the bathroom!
*Daisy tearfully runs into the house.*

*Lucy watches with a blank face.*
Lucy: She’s not gonna like it in there.
*Paulo looks worried.*
Paulo: Why?

*Daisy runs to the bathroom, looking distraught.*

*Mike stands at Lucy’s sink. He turns around to see who has come in. Daisy freezes up, petrified.*

*Mike smiles, looking a little embarrassed.*
Mike: D-Daisy?
*Daisy looks mortified.*

Daisy: EYAAAAAAA
*Paulo and Lucy are standing just inside the front door. Paulo scratches his head awkwardly. Lucy looks unamused.*

Author commentary

Veronica: Daisy, you need to learn to love yourself!!

Also, yes, there seems to be issues with wounded birds during a rainstorm! I wonder what other event Lucy is referring to!! Maybe we will find out some day!!
