Strawberry laid next to him, as Strudel went on the other side.
"You guys disturb me" he said, eating some nachos and putting on a Cedar Point sweatshirt.

"I want one of those" said Muffins.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA1i05zxyn
"Go to a gift shop" said Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAPYc2waEI
"Shut up" whispered Muffins, pointing at Strawberry, who was already sleeping.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8nGGqIWtT
"Yes, your majesty" said Strudel, fiddling with a Top Thrill Dragster keychain.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7mtl4bpvw
Muffins rolled his eyes and laid his head next to Strawberry's.

"I'm feeling some residual guilt about leaving the 3 of them in the park" said Kiwi.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIQNb76CBB
"Kiwi, they're fine" said Shady.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQm13n6pZz
The next morning, Strudel woke up first. He had a text message from Shady.
"Strawberry, Muffins, wake up" he said. "They left us here on purpose. But they saw police cars coming in the park"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlKZovXzIo
Strawberry & Muffins got out of each other's arms.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0XuZ1MPze
"Let's go" said Strudel. "Everyone's waiting for us on the beach"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqKqFrKz9v
They rushed over by the Wicked Twister.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn2s7D9xbE
"Hold it right there"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRwXKvFtL4
They turned around and saw 2 cops.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqJMHQ40RZ
"What do you 3 think you're doing here?" one of them asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRQ77SbkXn
"It's my fault" said Strudel. "Don't blame them"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeI3gozNmU
"This is a serious offense" said the other cop.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJFsWJKaC
"I understand that" said Strudel. "And I take full responsibility"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXeQfZ2J2T
"Alright, you two are free to go then" the first cop said to Strawberry & Muffins. "Let this be a warning. You, blondie, put your hands behind your back" he handcuffed Strudel, as the other cop led Strawberry & Muffins to the exit.

On the way home, everyone wondered about Strudel.
"What if he has to go to jail?" asked Waffles.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024glAq35L
"He took the blame!" Shady exclaimed. "That's not my problem"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL702rIOIGQ

Later on, Strudel was sitting in his room. His mom came in.
"Strudel, can we talk?" she asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStD9zfdz8O
"Yes, Mother" Strudel replied. "What would you like?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF072CBeMvi
"What is up with you lately?" Pearl asked. "First Stitch, then Tom, then your car, now this?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P9tfbVwAw
"Mom-" Strudel began.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduMN6I3dMk
"Not to mention you taking off to L.A. last summer" Pearl continued.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoQBeCe7nG
"Mom, what are you trying to say?" asked Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtyMkWTq7o
"You're out of control lately" said Pearl. "And it needs to stop"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF92t86awGk
"I'm sorry, Mom" Strudel said sweetly.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkshwfR5cE
"Honey, you're messing with the law now" Pearl said seriously. "You also shoplifted that sweatshirt you're wearing"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpBs4Y76h5
"Mom-" Strudel started to say.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG7z3nd0XI
"You're gonna go and live with CJ's family for awhile" said Pearl.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIsdbCq4Hp
"Why?" asked Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqsUQk4MJ
"Because I need time to think" said Pearl. "You can spend more time with Pancake this way, and I can really think this through"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5IchZwBYP
"Think what through?" asked Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlWSJ2WGLP
"You" said Pearl. "And how you've been acting"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTe9hgUD6S
"Alright" Strudel said sadly. He got a few things, and went outside, but he turned the other way and went down the black path.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Xh8fK1iS
"Hey, Strudel" ChiChi called from the gazebo. "How much trouble are you in?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG0NDJkeD4
"A lot" said Strudel. "I'm going to stay at CJ's for awhile"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0rjEUtxgR
"That's your punishment?" ChiChi asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfySofvq1n
"I guess so" said Strudel. "Even though that means I get to spend more time with Pan"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWXywE9HT
"So you're like, kicked out?" asked ChiChi.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LXT1YgqFI
"I guess you could say that" said Strudel. "So, what are you doing here at the gazebo?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLAP64NSYA
"I don't know" said ChiChi. "I was bored and decided to come down here"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamc0VRXA7
"Cool" said Strudel, sitting down.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieZuZJBPLV
"Strudel, can I ask you something?" ChiChi asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1uwvu2dw
"Sure, what?" asked Strudel.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUd0ZD1Ynt
"Who was your first kiss with?" ChiChi asked.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe98HIMuJu
"Bertha" Strudel shuddered. "Why? Who was yours?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y2INU29i9
"I haven't had mine yet" ChiChi said, embarrassed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sVYyv4OyK
"Really?" asked Strudel. "Garlic didn't even kiss you before he moved?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTWOoFwwmw
"Nope" said ChiChi. "I guess he didn't really like me"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUOgWflos
"Sure he did" said Strudel. "What's there not to like? You're beautiful."
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAThhdN3ud
ChiChi smiled a bit and pushed a strand of hair out of her face.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXjBM3kXS
"There's a first time for everything" Strudel said, as he leaned in and kissed her.
