"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"
418Please respect copyright.PENANAMo6Emq1Sns
"Stop filling me with guilt, damn it" Strudel said. "Grab onto my fucking crutch before I change my mind"
418Please respect copyright.PENANAqB622jOCOv
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"
418Please respect copyright.PENANAVNeTGxp5zj
"Do you really feel that way, Lemonade?" Gepetto asked.
418Please respect copyright.PENANA8SlTHeoE2K
"Yes, Gepetto, I really do" Lemonade said.
418Please respect copyright.PENANAsllhRSbdEo
"Please, man" Strudel extended his crutch once more.
418Please respect copyright.PENANALtMIioTJ5Y
Lemonade took it, seeing how weak Strudel was with his broken leg.

"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.
418Please respect copyright.PENANAuVYEgtnFKa
"What?" Gepetto asked. "You don't like me shirtless?"
418Please respect copyright.PENANAkcNOS5GN7D
"I just see that you're cold" Lemonade giggled. "You probably have frost bite"
418Please respect copyright.PENANAR5j94ME3Z7
Gepetto was shivering. "Do- do you really have feelings for me?" he asked.
418Please respect copyright.PENANAldVQs68lef
Lemonade kissed him. "Yeah" she smiled.
