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?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAuJUXtTUnlt
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAP2X670cB07
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAuAZnEdVsqY
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANASbjzfo5Vwy
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfQyxyBgyqC
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7sidWiotC0
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8TKU7wb20X
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?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAoqxryj0e2t
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAHDUt61VhId
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
424Please respect copyright.PENANA0QNiYGznyU
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANA6VBKLrZ1ep
"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"
424Please respect copyright.PENANArjrU3Cv59G
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzKklzYPKRM
"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"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAAOVsS6FItE
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANArzO2L1d9EP
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmjESYYPX2q
424Please respect copyright.PENANAoU2SHt4LJR
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXHeiog3Osd
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdRI6uVPES7
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAVPNIoLpcBR
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3Eg8u5hR
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANABOWZXbx11Q
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOVMQLHf0VL
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfaPPMxllJE
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAt9X7rWPp7S
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAbSNYhuiLBx
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeQJ9qw940O
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAFN3hFwpycG
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7tKQFhRThq
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAIOTVrGQpnH
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.

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"
424Please respect copyright.PENANA4FhVqVerqy
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeq7Ra6xtKa
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAKoASrrwNIh
"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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQiwdoZZf5n
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAcLrl43umrL
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
424Please respect copyright.PENANA2vMNCZUmiM
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAsF1YJVIjHa
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAtHOvspRkG6
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAIH69GO4yUA
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXvKtSao0It
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
424Please respect copyright.PENANABeOsWnrs7m
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdiTbymz12c
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAiV3893TxDH
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAINfGiAp53g
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwTd97lyJc0
424Please respect copyright.PENANATGc1b7H2Rb
424Please respect copyright.PENANACqfc0fzyZw
424Please respect copyright.PENANApAIcRJQlif
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANArbXzI5h4Vk
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwYaXgM1soy
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAUZitHeNEwF
Strawberry glared at him.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAEMpoyNIrrB
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANABSm60SZr4S
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANADsdiV53DWR
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAGEOcTUSYTu
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAuxuud1vWOx
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAK2vpo6KpUl
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
424Please respect copyright.PENANAjtWGRVVRVN
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANA3gK9BDFC2t
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANATckGpOZoXV
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7p92sOp5oO
424Please respect copyright.PENANA1bozOMMHcL
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
424Please respect copyright.PENANAgGwHGIEhwg
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.424Please respect copyright.PENANAA43JKCuoa5
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzhK3CnwBzX
Muffins walked over slowly.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmw363WUxwK
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAqzHukVXfpi
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAg1QgrTvq00
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAM8rJ8lra2k
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfS8GdfmrRY
Strawberry turned around.
424Please respect copyright.PENANADqLfsbB91W
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwNc6yZ4YEz
"I guess" Strawberry said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAHSdcaXvVh2
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAohrwroMl21
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxUkfeNuCNq
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8YGyvqmSz
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
