Description
Panel One: Half-body shot of Fern, gesturing with a sly smile on her face. The background is starry and bright. "Let me ask around and see if anyone else got it right," she says.
Panel Two: The three of them, with Fern on the left, Cal on the right, and DJ in the middle. Fern is making a dismissive gesture as as she says, "Relax." DJ is worried, and picking at his fingernail. "I wont' tell anyone you got it wrong."
Panel Three: DJ and Cal look relieved. "Phew!" says DJ, with his hand on his chest. "Oh, good," says Cal, and he sighs with relief.
Panel Four: "IF -" Fern says, from off-panel. DJ and Cal are now panicked, looking at each other. DJ's hand is gripping at his shirt. The background is ominous.
Panel Five: Closeup head and shoulders shot of Fern and DJ. Fern is giving his nose a boop while she eyes him suspiciously and says, "You tell me why I can't." DJ is flinching, his eyes shut tight like he's bracing himseslf for a much bigger hit.
Author Note
Fern just loves making deals, doesn't she? Also likes to boop DJ's nose, it seems. This is the second time she's done it.
See you soon!
