@Wilbur Because Paulo has feelings for Mike, too

My probably (definitely) not true theory for where this chapter is going: Sandy is visiting to break up with Mike in person. She is tired of being in a long distance relationship. Mike tells Paulo afterward, who buys him ice cream and comes over to his house. They end up making out.

PatNat don't do that to my heart

So cute!

Anialator, I may have found a solution we can both enjoy. Bear with me, I need to set the scene a bit before Sandy can reenter.

Anyway, Mike and Paulo end up dating. Things are "pretty serious" by the time they graduate. Mike gets accepted to a small college in Maraschino that he liked because of the relative proximity to Roseville and because they had a good arts program. He was thinking of getting into photography. Paulo had decided not to go the college route, but he tagged along to Maraschino and he and Mike ended up living together.

Paulo actually found an old diner for sale, and he bought it, and they moved in upstairs. (How could he possibly afford it, you ask? Let me avoid your question by asking another one. How could anyone in the hit 90's sitcom Friends afford their apartments?) While Mike was starting classes, Paulo was working on fixing up the diner. He had it up and running in a few weeks. Mike started working there as a waiter. He probably wore one of those flowery aprons. Very cute.

Anyway, Sandy was still in Maraschino doing modelling, and Mike decided to reach out to her. Reconnect. As friends. Just as friends, he had a boyfriend after all. Paulo wasn't sure how he felt about that. He hadn't forgiven Sandy for breaking Mike's heart in high school, but apparently Mike had.

"Long distance relationships are tough," Mike said. "She did what she had to do. Honestly she did me a favor. I never would have had the strength to end it. I was just sinking deeper and deeper into depression."

"Plus we never would have ended up together," said Paulo.

So Mike and Sandy met up for a lunch date. It was a bit awkward at first, but they found they actually had a lot to talk about. Sandy was enjoying modelling. She had a full schedule, but it was rewarding. She had dated a few men since the breakup, but nothing stuck. She was single. The lunch went by faster than it felt like it should have, and they found themselves saying their goodbyes. They promised to meet up again soon.

Next week, Sandy came to the diner. Sandy had suggested going to see a movie, but Mike insisted she meet Paulo. Paulo was a bit standoffish at first, but Sandy knows how to charm people, and he soon warmed up to her. The three of them started hanging out about once a week, then a few times a week, then after a few months almost every day.

Mike was worried. He was starting to redevelop feelings for Sandy that he had thought were gone forever. But he was still as in love with Paulo as ever. He didn't know what to do. It didn't help that every once in a while Paulo would make offhanded comments to him about how hot she was. He got flustered whenever Paulo said that, and he was worried he was starting to suspect something. But of course he didn't.

Paulo was actually crushing on Sandy too, and was just as worried as Mike was about ruining what they had together. Telling Mike she was hot was his attempt at diffusing tension. It wasn't working. Paulo started to notice that Mike reactions were getting weirder and weirder. He was stuttering and blushing. Even Paulo couldn't ignore how suspicious that was.

So they had a long conversation, and realized they were both crushing on Sandy. They talked about what it meant, and what to do about it. They decided to ask Sandy to join their relationship. They knew polyamory was a thing because Daisy, Abbey, and Augustus were in a relationship together, but neither of them had considered it for themselves before now. They resolved to ask Sandy about it tomorrow when she came over after modelling.

Sandy came over the next day to hang out, but Mike and Paulo were acting... weird. They were acting weird and... nervous? She asked them what the hell was going on and why were they acting like that.

Mike said, "Um, Paulo and I were wondering... Um, we were wondering—"

"Do you want to be our girlfriend?" Paulo blurted.

Sandy didn't know what to say. At first she thought they were kidding, but Mike wouldn't joke about this. Paulo maybe, but not Mike. And Mike was sitting there with an expectant look on his suddenly red face. Paulo looked terrified. Sandy had no idea either of them felt that way. She still didn't know what to say.

"I don't know what to say," she said, her face starting to turn red also.

"You don't have to make up your mind right now. I'm sure this is a lot to take in," said Mike. "And I probably would have chosen the word 'girlfriend' quite yet. I was thinking we would go on some dates, test the waters, you know."

"Sure," she said, "Why not? It's been a while since I've dated. This is all just so sudden. I had no idea."

"Awesome," said Paulo, "This is awesome. And you two are awesome. This is awesome."

The three of them were all grins and giggles for the rest of the evening.

Sorry to post a long, tangentially related fic on your pic, Quartzleo. Awesome picture, by the way.

Wow, the premise of that post was just, what if mike kept that face throughout Sandy's visit, couldn't say it before bc I was dealing with some account things.

Still, I really appreciate the speculation and fic this pic spawned.

Wowza Pat, that was a post and a half! Any ending where characters end up happy regardless of relationship is the ending for me, I just think Mike and Sandy are both such dorks that they're great for each other. Big fan of polyships too so Paulo shaking thongs up would be neat. I gotta say tho:

"They knew polyamory was a thing because Daisy, Abbey, and Augustus were in a relationship together"

Oh man my sides at the idea of those two ever reconciling. Couldn't see Abbey working out his differences with Paulo, let alone Augustus.

There's actually an entire four images under the AugustusxDaisyxAbbey tag.

Looks at top of browser

Nope, didn't somehow end up on fanfiction.net. NEAT!

But maybe Sandy could just screw off in that story, like, she gets weirded out by the premise of having multiple partners and leaves forevs, letting mike and paulo live happily ever after in their diner. :3

literally just posted this bc i like how i drew paulo's face

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYES

look,,, at my kids,,,, i love them

i, too, love how u drew paulo's face
as well as mike's!!
and look at lucy aaa

Love it, feed me more. *Disgusting slurping sounds*

Paulo's becoming more mature as time passes & Mike's becoming more insecure in regards to his relationship with Sandy.

Funny how these things change.

nice edit but mike don't wear glasses
he wear a scarf.......in summer.....

please do not have any feeling of awkwardness in what i said

Wake up in the morning looking greener then Shrek, sleepin' in a ub can really mess up your neck!
Before i leave i stop and vomit out tequila and glitter, it seems i'm spendin' every morning with mu head in the shi*

it may seens so if you don't counter my comment every morning

me thinks im not the only one hating you

Yup you're right!

Oh God. That song. Catchy and annoying.

Someone edit this with Lucy instead of Mike.

Spanish

Rachel looks cute like this.
But what does she say?

Gassy pajamas???

Love the style!!
But what's she saying? According to Google Translate: "Dog shovels bitches"?

magipaws, that would be "Perros palas perras"; what's on the picture is "Perros pa[ra] las perras", the apostrophe is there to indicate the syllabe in brackets was omitted due to the use of an informal register...

Meaning: "(Male) Dog for the female dogs (or bitches)".

Dude esto está genial!!!
No se porqué pero lo escuché en mi cabeza con el típico tonito de "Chichis pa' la banda" xD

Wow. Pretty good! Nice work.

Hey there! Thought I would upload this since I got a chance.. (Sorry for the quality of the pic.. My phone camera isn't the greatest)

Wsctacobro16. Pretty sure that ship sunk in December, before blowing up and falling into a volcano, where it was melted down to its bare minerals.

I would honestly be surprised if they even become "Friends" again, if they even were before.
