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?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQCvffSHJA0
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAF8VcMEb03m
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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAGsoCwlopUy
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAIZfhlvbKjj
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwNrUtez9ha
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZlSk1TGRl3
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAMSS3KZ7pzv
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?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAOpGDs0I4fy
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjETTLpLUhv
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAhdTdZBLwSv
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ2w6uQY2S
"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"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAFHdvxZz8Xx
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAD0DGpAGaEU
"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"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4qu3PQUAN1
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANApbH4KiLbUw
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAofCSYq4VYO
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4PQ47h2mLq
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmf0nN86hwl
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xv8EleLyz
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwfc8iMvRoH
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAlXzvxw5E8T
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAm7PVpDxiaU
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmdEqBClxeJ
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA540qx1zRvX
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZzxHR44Tu
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAAslT41YoFA
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA0IGBRW0Q8N
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaUqeg3phMP
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeHRsKOJuyZ
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANALHxwx3LbcV
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAmEXZc8N2Uc

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"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjoTmlHo3m6
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
412Please respect copyright.PENANADd2PPCol7S
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAZUNRwigF1X
"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.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASsilBLux5D
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAwXqthLUJuB
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAKwl40rMWIE
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANACmZ4cwC4gV
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAe72Wy6WuAY
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASdPHlq2XjN
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAVC9Jp0GSzY
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAHTszcSaVz4
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAzBK7YSQ4GF
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAluNYQI7jid
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkflm6C6s0O
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
412Please respect copyright.PENANANxU0RI04mm
412Please respect copyright.PENANAlfB1IuzN6x
412Please respect copyright.PENANANmSYxPO8b7
412Please respect copyright.PENANA4MTdkbf0K8
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAtStYE2kx4J
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
412Please respect copyright.PENANArM1cDQSC4G
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAR1RsgfkNv0
Strawberry glared at him.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAi58byApwRD
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgRA7HBYtKm
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA5B4dnZijuj
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANApcw70wW7tv
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA1jXO1EczfS
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAaPRVPFfE7z
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
412Please respect copyright.PENANASf0oXIcmoW
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAjx7k5tgpGx
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANA6fNNXR6iEM
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAkCLzKc4ySV
412Please respect copyright.PENANAeImqMwqg7g
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
412Please respect copyright.PENANA30djAqxrER
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.412Please respect copyright.PENANAtxqN5tRPbp
412Please respect copyright.PENANAgeVIEuSRcK
Muffins walked over slowly.
412Please respect copyright.PENANARzc71bU5vG
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANABVDntvLv2m
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAIwOwLWfsBV
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
412Please respect copyright.PENANA9ucdutxcZT
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
412Please respect copyright.PENANALsFemo2mHy
Strawberry turned around.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAm0i9kNTRbD
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAB2s4Mw8yUC
"I guess" Strawberry said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAnyXg1ESP0a
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
412Please respect copyright.PENANAET6xn0YuvW
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
412Please respect copyright.PENANAyLLNlAMYeV
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
412Please respect copyright.PENANASEYPvtKDf1
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
