A few weeks later, Cherry got a text from Sully, simply saying "we need to talk"
Cherry started panicking. Had he found out about Muffins and Stitch?
Shakily, she texted back. "What's up, Babe?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuStDQNvn6y
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZt9sU9u1
Cherry was nervous, but she headed to Sully's house.
When she walked in, a bunch of her friends, and an older man were sitting in the living room.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlq9ltXWb8
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNq8L4laF
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ogWXFeEd
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJ9R0zpDO
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltodlsJv5
Sully patted the seat next to him, and Cherry sat down. Sully pulled out a piece of paper and read from it. "Cherry, you're my girlfriend and I love you very much. I also know that I am responsible for your addiction. I should have never let you try cocaine. I was lucky, I never got addicted, but you did, and it's my fault. Cherry, will you please accept help?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLgyiPZFvj
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zf5xjZ6Pj
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1QvRTCVN9
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO04GE1vLb
"If you don't," said Sully. "Then I can no longer be with you. I will not be your boyfriend, I will not speak to you"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEs8nfGcQO
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxklVA9uK
"You can go to the party" said James. "Have one last time with your friends. First thing Monday morning, you're on a plane to California"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl8HMbbTJk
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddVTsfNGMP
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tviX6khYC
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3soAe6ZWK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulImS0eHGC
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob2KSbrk8H
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8mgWDz3SO
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2g2bFgPVh
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzvck1aFR
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQsnRbPpsG
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6AvMLN5UQ
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFeJgvdJTy
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHPb8ptu4a
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JpGCmM4QQ
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71CAzd901
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPHWngTC1P
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ay0aspFGI
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB9Qas0Pyg

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGwml8a98g
Meanwhile, Strudel decided to sit on a couch, next to Pancake.
She started to inch away.
"Pan, wait" Strudel said. "I know you hate me. Hell, I even hate myself. But I just wish you'd forgive me, because I love you, Pancake, and I always will"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Jd0giFYs
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkT0QbyevN
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2vAOaQMFD
"No, Strudel" Pancake got up. "Not friends, not enemies. Just strangers with memories"
She walked away.

Meanwhile, Strawberry was sitting out on the deck, waiting for Muffins.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcMg5xjoA
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSYPdGsg8z
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAE7U0ZQ9T
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFIJLRnzP
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRVgtSZnQk
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhYwBYl3oC
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wsxtdmwj6
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNliXJkVIdm
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl2omJZGzy
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEIYL2ai5B
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyptpj93mZ
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1noalT0ha
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxOMuRUGa0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY6YY45wMY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88tvtOd7EH
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXhymMln05
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW7zN3KIBi
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTkQeNdV49
Strawberry glared at him.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UYf5nSn9q
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQJ0GrUjY
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C6o62fqFG
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SCkHtV5Wc
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjVn5dOKhl
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvlp9bs7jm
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBau7NLDed
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFA6hxeagS
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvIFCFssiP
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuST7X72Ee
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4R7j5pnOb
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5dd2gTNRV
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXhsdz9Nb1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAD0I7wEv
Muffins walked over slowly.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCeJQtiDn
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfLhFxl3Zq
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTaGlNyw5K
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC2geNCwG3
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrzmU6ckyj
Strawberry turned around.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyUVlH1Uqw
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAlAzUPmQ6
"I guess" Strawberry said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyowzXnStPk
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kk5GW5qid
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbY6lt1nXR
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tFtBP9Ucl
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
