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?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPeBj8ezDAB
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5OFgEMJBeL
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.
209Please respect copyright.PENANATZwTeLx3p2
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVe7t3WUQzV
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA1RdCpoF9KZ
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6f3u7iuQCz
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAK2uKUzqxkp
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?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9vx2JGWZoK
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoT74bLHbTE
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjsuf9ZOG3h
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPdQXJuAo
"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"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAFYV1mtpfxY
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbVWvgZl6iq
"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"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeCWyAe1QOy
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzgkrKJcTZO
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdfCa4Q37Nx
209Please respect copyright.PENANA22uDAI0aQP
209Please respect copyright.PENANAGOzszizso0
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjCbwNitTwl
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZLJhGFVpSX
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvPwUwlCukA
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAWj4uCI8VXs
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbsIhBBhoFG
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
209Please respect copyright.PENANA52Z01JpE6P
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAq8mO3sdyCr
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9qVnYDp686
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQQFLAYO846
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANACvcEjQfc1v
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHj4Vu1lelR
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAP0m40hTC1N
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQlnBEURYMG

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"
209Please respect copyright.PENANA93pByV9kv1
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAek9JXloHBP
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAJtro3B8GJu
"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.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxEyfPNcjRy
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoZcOUuGKh9
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjqAY7AlX
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeAxWdVup9W
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwIYydWuTS0
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUG5mrt1fsT
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAg8dB4sgrbL
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIEQfovkTw7
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
209Please respect copyright.PENANALDdsXhQNgY
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAoiq00qQnDm
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ARon4LpH
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPU0Kenii0d
209Please respect copyright.PENANAW4DMHBqLQs
209Please respect copyright.PENANAj7QIkSZ3oR
209Please respect copyright.PENANA60rwAznXoO
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxvyUvHI6Du
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaki8FyulhF
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvJYXCVHfnE
Strawberry glared at him.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAtorTulpO3p
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAdrP7Mh3TwU
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ghPF3FiC
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANALIF1javf1Z
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAR9PLRHVTJ0
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqP1kx86BJl
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIQTEkZMoeZ
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANArynUGGzDIW
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAM1JLJMpfbm
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjzmkQdS7IF
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9B6hDMEdwD
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEx4wmxtpsh
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.209Please respect copyright.PENANAlQhCPMydwh
209Please respect copyright.PENANARglEN1uptl
Muffins walked over slowly.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZy0C0uKv1y
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAWc8DyIJk0N
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAjTd5tPMHrj
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPzeTjG5GG4
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAniVUtzA6Qd
Strawberry turned around.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAhCg3xjAMSQ
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ0XnRwZjH
"I guess" Strawberry said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAn1LcOqp4nl
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeKcygzHY80
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
209Please respect copyright.PENANAL9EZNyysLt
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ6dzCn9dK
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
