"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"
273Please respect copyright.PENANAWgkoxtre7K
"Stop filling me with guilt, damn it" Strudel said. "Grab onto my fucking crutch before I change my mind"

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"
273Please respect copyright.PENANAw6kZQqxCGY
"Do you really feel that way, Lemonade?" Gepetto asked.
273Please respect copyright.PENANAszHzN6LKc0
"Yes, Gepetto, I really do" Lemonade said.
273Please respect copyright.PENANAtEcmfHnnay
"Please, man" Strudel extended his crutch once more.

Lemonade took it, seeing how weak Strudel was with his broken leg.

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

Lemonade handed Gepetto his shirt. "Put this on, please" she said.
273Please respect copyright.PENANArxtCwOZFWb
"What?" Gepetto asked. "You don't like me shirtless?"
273Please respect copyright.PENANAfsSEPVOACX
"I just see that you're cold" Lemonade giggled. "You probably have frost bite"
273Please respect copyright.PENANA7UqPJ4sSqL
Gepetto was shivering. "Do- do you really have feelings for me?" he asked.
273Please respect copyright.PENANAk7u7VICdw1
Lemonade kissed him. "Yeah" she smiled.
