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?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANABiq9aLfMzo
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAbVflIQzSTZ
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANApPf2MhD3Ye
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANApXm1Wp00yK
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAurPX9gsgp3
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZiSdbJZBAh
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAT7INF0WR20
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?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA3wkDtKIWbM
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAt2sfrY6pAa
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAcJHqHRyAiH
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAoN4WXMzf3p
"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"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAkWtr8ri1Pe
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAsLx3RJ7zCU
"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"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAul6DCDuOrf
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAX05QoljZWZ
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZdkIOXfhYF
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKLYSTBDp3X
323Please respect copyright.PENANABQrtICISYJ
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
323Please respect copyright.PENANASL80GNaURH
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnqEKjxKKjj
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0YoUDZdS
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAeE0LREWf01
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzSmyV0kVO4
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAABgpW1LSho
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVVygwqP32U
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANApigGY9l4Ge
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZF0w3IhAro
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA4NIhfLk12N
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA5fdiDK56vI
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANABEry0b07YF
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAp4zWZaF9aH
323Please respect copyright.PENANAeGZO5AAHqB
323Please respect copyright.PENANANsPA6O7G4X
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"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAgwMuW20y5K
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAjnQ8VcfrnQ
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA99QQmXHgMq
"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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAIzVzvKJMtG
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAUrYrfTr5PB
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAB4p5ofCboY
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAbVotyVzHm2
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA2ETkwinnsV
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAfXkkSYbl7X
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAwVlHXFRTXu
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAp3cKdbPlF8
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAUYYhotmSIE
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAdMvzRcSy9a
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAYtNUTJaqXK
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA0OOL4NHTKQ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAjyVaD5MVTn
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8XZfDpJvc4
323Please respect copyright.PENANA67YVPsLqEV
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnRp2z5675n
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAoRM8uSqGN5
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
323Please respect copyright.PENANADQSfjweaQf
Strawberry glared at him.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAOJalpF5Lvd
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAPh31sTVpIX
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAdZQNothJL3
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAtGjCOtucz8
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAz1TmhoJh4d
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEFuA20tmRt
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
323Please respect copyright.PENANAxDzqXidb1P
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANADQoidug6Fq
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8LAU429eXd
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA1MSmhUkqUu
323Please respect copyright.PENANABLe0h7JXi7
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKXsgXAu1oV
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.323Please respect copyright.PENANACsWssdCbzb
323Please respect copyright.PENANAoZRDekC5JM
Muffins walked over slowly.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAdW6C5x6evY
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANApQN15zfZQ8
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
323Please respect copyright.PENANABGFSLn2CgO
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
323Please respect copyright.PENANALtdmG3pIyY
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
323Please respect copyright.PENANA420o8Zwtwo
Strawberry turned around.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAOGjoLE80EY
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA53xmTxCu7C
"I guess" Strawberry said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAyHqzFGSilG
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA98b1mSakVd
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
323Please respect copyright.PENANASeS5z1nFEn
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
323Please respect copyright.PENANABndoPJRJiZ
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
