"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.

"Strudel, I almost killed you, man" Gepetto said. "I don't deserve to live"
274Please respect copyright.PENANAGl53WnvCqr
"Stop filling me with guilt, damn it" Strudel said. "Grab onto my fucking crutch before I change my mind"
274Please respect copyright.PENANAelTOefL24o
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"
274Please respect copyright.PENANARKgLG6Werk
"Do you really feel that way, Lemonade?" Gepetto asked.
274Please respect copyright.PENANAVLDDmSUQFY
"Yes, Gepetto, I really do" Lemonade said.
274Please respect copyright.PENANAAPTo4TcUCn
"Please, man" Strudel extended his crutch once more.
274Please respect copyright.PENANAbsbUEnZ9HV
Lemonade took it, seeing how weak Strudel was with his broken leg.
274Please respect copyright.PENANALlUbukSCX0
"Gepetto, grab on" she said.

Finally, Gepetto grabbed onto the crutch as Lemonade pulled him onto land.

Lemonade handed Gepetto his shirt. "Put this on, please" she said.
274Please respect copyright.PENANAavr8B9d7TE
"What?" Gepetto asked. "You don't like me shirtless?"
274Please respect copyright.PENANAMrdLZSPauJ
"I just see that you're cold" Lemonade giggled. "You probably have frost bite"
274Please respect copyright.PENANAgHx4jWmwsN
Gepetto was shivering. "Do- do you really have feelings for me?" he asked.
274Please respect copyright.PENANA3MqWY8b3dP
Lemonade kissed him. "Yeah" she smiled.
