Transcript

*Lucy is relaxing on a hill, watching the clouds.*
Lucy: What a sweet, breezy day~
Lucy: Not too sunny, not too grey.

Lucy: Oh, whoa! That cloud looks like a face!

*A cloud passes by. It looks like a smiley face.*
Lucy: …

*Lucy spaces out.*
Lucy: …
Lucy: That’s pretty cool..

Lucy: …
*Yashy appears behind her.*
Yashy: Mom?

Lucy: It’s changing shape now. No more face.
*Yashy looks worried.*
Yashy: Hey, Mom? Mooom?

*Lucy wakes up.*
[An arrow, pointed to Lucy: “Back to normal ;.;”]
*Yashy gets an idea and grins mischievously.*

Yashy: Remember that missing birthday money? That was me, not Blur. I spent it on that annoying harmonica you hate.

Yashy: Also! It was me who put the hose down your locker for April Fools’, and I blamed Flea just to see what would happen.

Yashy: Speakin’ of Flea, are you gonna marry him already? You know you want to. That boy drives you wiiiild~

*Mike explodes onto the scene, surprising both Yashy and Lucy.*
Mike: YASHY!!
Yashy: Huh?

*Mike grabs Yashy by the neck.*
Mike: So it was YOU who did it!!
Lucy: Did what?
Yashy: You look.. absolutely dazzling today, Flea~ ♥

*Mike pouts.*
Mike: You didn’t hear ANY of that?
Lucy: Hear what?

Mike: Oh, I forgot.
Lucy: ?

*Mike wiggles Lucy’s left ear.*
Mike: Widdle Woocy’s left ear can’t hear a thing~

Lucy: What’d you say?
Mike: Aha.. sorry..

Yashy: Hey, Mom! Only babies cry over romance movies, so I guess you’re a pretty big baby, huh?
*Lucy looks furious.*

*Lucy hits Yashy.*
Lucy: Hmmph.
Yashy: O-oww. H-how did she know..
Mike: You gotta learn left from right, Yashy.

Author commentary

Veronica: New chapter!! With some LORE??? POSSIBLY?????

Somebody suggested I make panel fifteen into a wallpaper once. I still don’t know if I should and if I decide to, HOW to do it. It’s a cute scene, though. Mike is so playful. They really have a cute dynamic together.

Widdle Woocy. Awesome. Cruel to her, funny as heck to the readers. Believ it or not, I have a friend who seems to be half-deaf in one ear. It does feel weird that when I’m trying to talk to him, but he apparently doesn’t hear me. I have to speak up then.
