"Gepetto!" Virginia called out. "What happened?"

"I have nothing to live for!" Gepetto shouted back, as his hands were slipping off of a tire that he had been holding onto.

"Gepetto!" Strudel shouted, letting one crutch out from underneath him. "Please grab on!" he bent down and stuck his crutch out.

"Strudel, don't!" warned California.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAgYd8Hu4Oh1
"Strudel, I almost killed you, man" Gepetto said. "I don't deserve to live"
421Please respect copyright.PENANAVZbOgAXc2q
"Stop filling me with guilt, damn it" Strudel said. "Grab onto my fucking crutch before I change my mind"
421Please respect copyright.PENANA7p78LRr7ZJ
Gepetto was still struggling to hold onto the tire.

"Gepetto" Lemonade said. "I have feelings for you. I never admitted this before because I'm scared. Please grab onto Strudel's crutch. He needs you for Battle of the Bands"
421Please respect copyright.PENANALg1KkZ1YBa
"Do you really feel that way, Lemonade?" Gepetto asked.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAkoLiI1Fcw5
"Yes, Gepetto, I really do" Lemonade said.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAfs7mW04CWq
"Please, man" Strudel extended his crutch once more.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAXoKoZUIrHT
Lemonade took it, seeing how weak Strudel was with his broken leg.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAOGj3x6sdTc
"Gepetto, grab on" she said.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAQVGSi6Qz82
Finally, Gepetto grabbed onto the crutch as Lemonade pulled him onto land.

Lemonade handed Gepetto his shirt. "Put this on, please" she said.
421Please respect copyright.PENANAjvxjrk9ZMn
"What?" Gepetto asked. "You don't like me shirtless?"
421Please respect copyright.PENANACXq4Ypp6xS
"I just see that you're cold" Lemonade giggled. "You probably have frost bite"
421Please respect copyright.PENANAS2tVrsuZyK
Gepetto was shivering. "Do- do you really have feelings for me?" he asked.
421Please respect copyright.PENANA7EcJ55PPU4
Lemonade kissed him. "Yeah" she smiled.
