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?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANACij4bjhrm7
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA78M45CAoWa
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.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA4khyWJYpm6
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbmlsABca
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAGYM6g3vmqH
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA5kqrIGIrZB
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAfNRqLsypna
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?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAyQFlGQo0zf
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tv0iiiT79
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAl2OMNnW54V
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA6oXGee7moT
"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"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAR3zAIZqtNn
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAKz7hpg1hZz
"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"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA9HSPAHFhsH
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAuCbXzwtoea
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAcKEybcKRAB
399Please respect copyright.PENANAWBUlAqPbGC
399Please respect copyright.PENANAaAfs9mGLBL
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAaYC5suvtLI
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAiEWJGrVoIx
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA68osi7HEKg
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAJmqNBmRbVE
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAsiISHnPGXj
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAbOmSYoVIKz
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAEnv2njCtvA
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAbuulxiEJzR
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
399Please respect copyright.PENANApv0xb0YIQ0
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA18U19nCRp5
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA5bfUurvscD
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAXqwoLodNc1
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
399Please respect copyright.PENANANqMURmlKoZ

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"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ0ePxiHck
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
399Please respect copyright.PENANACCjIPoLgLi
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAAr7FdpZ32e
"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.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAGKGxCjzWL8
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAYKjE1qII7L
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA3V1eA9Myzo
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANADgTuSpXLPC
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAzYbBKeBzVV
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA9QQdRy7Om5
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAGs2bGv0b4N
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUR8vQwPp
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA56R0yuciij
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA62B6XsUPMr
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
399Please respect copyright.PENANADPDMGm1P54
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA4dKNe7bphU
399Please respect copyright.PENANAVtNxmzqPIw
399Please respect copyright.PENANAFDuokN4WwJ
399Please respect copyright.PENANAYpvlG12DKi
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0ZSee7mVa
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAoHnNIjjVLQ
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAWuJfYptPlW
Strawberry glared at him.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA0V96yDyNfM
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAoFQ5epUiVz
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAyAfTWaQMO3
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAqzKoMfK7su
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAd2iPpeI58B
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAgK3TXXmFWV
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
399Please respect copyright.PENANAybH4pHVWGQ
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAbycGr1wcnl
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAb6rn5pDo8R
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA67HblNmB9U
399Please respect copyright.PENANA5S9tdpTvX0
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
399Please respect copyright.PENANA8OTjbArfN8
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.399Please respect copyright.PENANAOvnYJpCQKf
399Please respect copyright.PENANATlF9qcUxuH
Muffins walked over slowly.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA2JdcWQmH2O
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAyLvzjqvfoi
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA0qsMITOlyV
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
399Please respect copyright.PENANApkyHKaLfWK
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
399Please respect copyright.PENANA2R1Vewkqy2
Strawberry turned around.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAqWmAsRKDqj
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAUY2htkbbz3
"I guess" Strawberry said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAq1avgpIAvr
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
399Please respect copyright.PENANA5sPSEPCQtp
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
399Please respect copyright.PENANAomyH54JPet
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
399Please respect copyright.PENANAARWKeeInAO
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
