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?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAZaQYA1xvSw
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAYjJ1Bg4uVK
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.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGFjqlBT7u0
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA6s77GBVNsX
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAuNopQC5oM7
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKhSoz2vbVh
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsyYsRBXeRi
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?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAa5ePgM9JyC
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAe7eOMfLQr0
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAa0EwtD6Tu6
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWbhaJKYd8z
"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"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAr8s4ldJBTJ
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
203Please respect copyright.PENANA35XaCyavWg
"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"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAP3HawsAAUe
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJLGP5Oq7YV
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAasRBVkWhln
203Please respect copyright.PENANA6KoYSdk6qO
203Please respect copyright.PENANAn0ZhWiwpG0
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAADS33zrhUA
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
203Please respect copyright.PENANARXyeyuLTYX
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3fBt1ARiVN
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANATqMpDm5faS
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMghWYXALj8
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWPvSdzx4bX
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJCTBFTI92Q
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAS4kaKkNg8n
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAm7c7XTE4mw
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANArslWTFILeA
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAU0cD78NlfQ
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANANDv9nECyIg
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA6M94kSMszE

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"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUSe6h9yY3x
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7JbiSiKn52
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAmQqJWM74Ox
"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.
203Please respect copyright.PENANABYdyvsClSf
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAjv9squqi52
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAyHNMiZ0PxF
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXqjDx0wrQ7
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3C6yujEsD5
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAznplBa6qfK
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAX7V1yEF7ex
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5pLQAquFPC
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA2QTIaUwPmE
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGO8NtjdM9K
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAC18RrYJjOh
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3fpRMeHDJg
203Please respect copyright.PENANAihl9EABhZB
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJIlRjfQXZb
203Please respect copyright.PENANAK15mV63H6x
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAPB2IsPgt0H
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJcCQ5ur02Z
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAC2Ax2fuke0
Strawberry glared at him.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgccijLViTs
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANArS7RNRYBvo
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAphOiPQqVyI
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxJMoOW3c9y
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkXjatVXpQX
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAH6lKnKSI3u
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
203Please respect copyright.PENANA84e3j4DdwI
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnqyN5SYL81
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKatjQlZKSE
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAW90FGOHd8G
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgt1gi1pHx3
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0fvxoKepV7
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.203Please respect copyright.PENANAxOjTz0bmRM
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqzf3TApJFF
Muffins walked over slowly.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0lQLy7pQGF
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWX0oc9Lu9C
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGhLkZ0eiaq
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAX436q8669I
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAzAhEsL9chH
Strawberry turned around.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAmJMNVqfxBi
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
203Please respect copyright.PENANARo7726BQvS
"I guess" Strawberry said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKzPIDliT8C
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAw0sIGtF5LW
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAOPJQQ01MBc
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhHstwGw1Jf
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
