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?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAqfXmnsPZKp
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAMiw5JCiCtT
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAwYlXk3q9hv
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9ynsX67zGn
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAbW0lxUFSCj
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAUC7CTbtq7h
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
400Please respect copyright.PENANARaFbPcmA99
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?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFxAqGKRdfU
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAkXaLUPvQQp
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAJKD99Y5p14
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAgAr98TUtmM
"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"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAK4pe2w7JOv
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAyxrmD82S1g
"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"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAvr0ACRfAzF
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA40LWg5ubWL
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAcrATWdNCTC
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1RqJHRDbgK
400Please respect copyright.PENANAKnND1UaoBN
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzXKIR8P02I
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAgc1wcaxB6S
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAnaeOkRqZY8
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA4LiL5Fl1X0
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA6obNr14J20
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAKsNl5SUquG
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1T22kP0ysg
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9FZ2IzdcMd
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAaa4NiEihj3
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAemgdK1ife4
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAX09CHgV5Hc
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANADaHjoBdhUG
"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"
400Please respect copyright.PENANALUQBFf9mJM
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuI1OYHLH7F
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAbS6O8zybMB
"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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAy8NTFVo6Oy
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAvVWPsKXxmb
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAo4WZ3mIBcg
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAjIS0WXzoWZ
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFlwpcFLdJq
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQvOrvSyOTO
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANASR2zWo2aW8
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAoL9RxvLytw
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAAT7jLBr5Iv
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANASgy9gvhR57
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHLhENpWQIb
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9vrd530DPb
400Please respect copyright.PENANACt7UDynxHG
400Please respect copyright.PENANAVRRbHV4dvp
400Please respect copyright.PENANA2jyIBzF4fr
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzB642KChvE
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAv4GxIMc3NJ
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
400Please respect copyright.PENANATWIes9LBmP
Strawberry glared at him.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAoVMAIRUu9C
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAeBNLk826Yu
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ahf0T04v
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA22x9mBhxNq
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA02NHuWJF9G
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ukJE2rPP
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHaK6QOUNCT
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANApslqGqWVIb
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAe65zwQVzNL
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuAqruIte7y
400Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5cEGuJVSS
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
400Please respect copyright.PENANArA9Ykwp8Vu
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.400Please respect copyright.PENANAUgBrQ27Umi
400Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6WPbiGQ0C
Muffins walked over slowly.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAqW9O4ba4h0
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAS7YOVXXMre
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAIBypIsrNbl
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAN0b8QV8KQj
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAewdGhov8FQ
Strawberry turned around.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAALeU72iDhS
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAgZhhiqNXHc
"I guess" Strawberry said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0QOVx2icR
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA00uZ1iwiQW
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAw2NtDQsRQz
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAPnPjXgxsyi
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
