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?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANARQtfFb35C2
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAAkuaseHFN1
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.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIpdPQnKAmI
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA6p6pK6yveQ
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAjEBTZ6Y9AO
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtVOm2VLPhg
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
278Please respect copyright.PENANABSJp7xPxez
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?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANARATUpzJWVD
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
278Please respect copyright.PENANARextC7oTCP
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAPSkkXSJ61I
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAw8LMLqXViA
"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"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAOtYAuN3t9v
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA1HOo62Bug4
"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"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA8xhfUsvntS
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyubNqg1XcJ
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAaAsoCqggZO
278Please respect copyright.PENANAnCFKtMaVKA
278Please respect copyright.PENANAnUZ16HeArQ
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
278Please respect copyright.PENANALYnS1Q2r67
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzDeYwGnh9r
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAfC6YFb0DY4
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hf8RvrE1n
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAjZcGdkLQ5G
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA5bDPN2P9um
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Swi8ubJG
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA30hx4Qv7BW
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAQRoVL4nu2P
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAdy8we6QU7x
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA8yAvhRKBY4
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAur60smryW2
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAArdzSSSgnd

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"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4GIScEMmfy
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAoq9qGbcu5V
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQSy97t5R
"No, Strudel" Pancake got up. "Not friends, not enemies. Just strangers with memories"
She walked away.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA6b26yYDfbD
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyD0Xa9MpV1
Meanwhile, Strawberry was sitting out on the deck, waiting for Muffins.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA2atJRWWdT6
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAznfDM2npHg
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAYxmvpXtqDw
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGxVbXaZLjD
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAG3vtKvWZHm
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
278Please respect copyright.PENANANp4hLDzKBe
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAy0XPrWOfra
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAlW0EUMTEqz
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA741JKDOnOg
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA5QUOJ34r9E
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzxbNR5saJQ
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Ca62PlV5
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzaAk3AzglF
278Please respect copyright.PENANA6OQEiuWtKr
278Please respect copyright.PENANAjdG7HzGk7g
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAr4VLDnU23c
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAbMjSyebA2t
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzP2U3iB3Ul
Strawberry glared at him.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAm3e9roSDiT
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANARU1mMVGZeF
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAvb2TlDRY39
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAtilw3K4b1E
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA4BnnFGRVOf
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANA0HR8qtUG1C
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
278Please respect copyright.PENANA22MbR1gMdw
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Tnbm4Hvy
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAbbHpAKutsW
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAAlLoZwywZ5
278Please respect copyright.PENANAJy8IoPoHcb
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHHpLj2YX0J
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.278Please respect copyright.PENANAsv0wy2oOG2
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHt4n7c2N4L
Muffins walked over slowly.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAOw2qDW37wK
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkA62UsATY7
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAltbkfdPZBg
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
278Please respect copyright.PENANABuu4IAoiX5
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAcaHlo8cIJQ
Strawberry turned around.
278Please respect copyright.PENANApQFQqi8pEV
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAGK66VLzLKt
"I guess" Strawberry said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANADYVkezu9Bn
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
278Please respect copyright.PENANATQr6COAe73
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
278Please respect copyright.PENANAI3G7jVkRjx
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
278Please respect copyright.PENANAUJcGyFmrMt
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
