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?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhppeVpBm1T
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnNh12sqWt
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.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhGarDq98S
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgZdd3eq7
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkylhmdOO88
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvWL51gyK
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbXIywrOMk
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?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2b3NE6zR
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZt7uiQ9iY
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStR1YxsNqU
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQzBoKzMD4
"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"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbHohRMpZ
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qxMAIBeS7
"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"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwA0OTkeZS
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Jc6bR9Sf
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzo2Z7N8r5
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWyS9EFnp
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29FFDquiPw
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkGQ1vjasW
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC28dHZCDVi
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHRtVDbZpf
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsRr7ZSTBm
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZ9goSr5w
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3TOsZ4i8
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqI5s1OZrW
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4Xi2fX8x
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8YSbLMWS
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqeXtk4zX
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkjbWCC04H
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriCPVjPCZI
"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"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CN3cD60xl
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg7E84V8Bd
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQm3NIzKWP
"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.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrY0c6hB24
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcVgrjW34U
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSSRpcmH8
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9ENBYB3G
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyntbKfk8m
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoEDaG6jbf
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJafv4SWE
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh9181lfO9
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfTRJFjXd
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiqcn93H8
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjLzxTbPGv
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaGyb0ooMP
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3To4BDHi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK3EFjbEMp
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBZy1LRE3
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8WVmZIfU
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0swai7cLV3
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeklfVhVu1
Strawberry glared at him.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rISeTuZVm
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9TdmNNhV
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1IblSdWku
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMZ6JFBFb
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQWjXEX8f
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELLQyU9KDU
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPqXNlni6F
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fnrUpXpTV
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtA7N3q9m9
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AyRzJWD4Y
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bg353r7s
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdpCJqF4cF
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX91R97MSV
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYqPaGz8p8
Muffins walked over slowly.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbJMaHCeQm
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiQuYDPnAL
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEI1NZqw2W
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33h3kZ2JQ2
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcMGefWmkr
Strawberry turned around.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN3UjyMp2W
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUReggznNg4
"I guess" Strawberry said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhAVrZt3Dp
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5imTbOFIf
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFEnfRxx4
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQCb3mSdWL
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
