Little Rachel Riding Hood, Page 7

PANEL 1

The wolf costume falls away to reveal Bob, a young man with dark hair, rubbing his head in pain.

BOB: "OW! What the hell are you doing, Rachel? That hurts!"

RACHEL: "Bob? What the hell are you doing in the Disenchanted Forest?"

PANEL 2

Bob, still in his wolf costume, explains himself to Rachel.

BOB: "I came to walk you to the party."

BOB: "You were late, and I thought... maybe... something happened to you on the way..."

PANEL 3

Close-up of Rachel looking skeptical.

BOB: "You walking alone and all..."

PANEL 4

Rachel scolds Bob while he stands sheepishly in his furry wolf costume.

RACHEL: "You could have offered to walk me there in the first place instead of scaring me like that."

PANEL 5

Close-up of Rachel's face softening slightly.

RACHEL: "But thanks for worrying about me."

Downcast Bob is so cute. This scene was met with serious Rachel and Bob shipping. Rachel was never going to end up with Bob, but they were both growing up, and I was trying to expand upon his character a little more and make him more than just a straw man.
