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?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL8TEtseIP
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLUAi8N8Xn
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy0YtLJHIi
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW44CFn2bJ
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyIWiq4Atv
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXCYvoh6B
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7KOnpkMAo
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?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCzKi7yteQ
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FhzeOo38n
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByRBIlhKla
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSC6IBtZnI
"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"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QUZ1WIHP5
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZBtV77Rj
"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"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH8ljq5OcB
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKrKiayoa
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBj1LIxdDM
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5VQJBMhG
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGCQ1IwRt
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Sm036nOr
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqm8DdCIA6
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszq7lgHvSO
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKcfwjUIC
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtqaTMfOhm
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXgpqjV6UQ
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFl9Dr49wv
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE3unw48Du
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnrkVGECJ
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzI6IR2knL
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnZDjm82nt
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6PhrwMF8
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaR4cZGirb
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPN1JKDp8
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7lZs99eWX
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"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRzCJIFugW
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aabj4KmnO
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWmVQkwCdE
"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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDwk0axodC
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOZ4znueQ3
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YD8wo1Bwq
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnK81q20pN
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jn4kgrs9Y
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArJWJmLuR8
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTSjmYvdkF
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03cjqiqvG8
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2tANilNuV
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfkasukSg
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1euSG5YXV6
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6spTUh4rB
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz5O5IZC84
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhy1ILcoP4
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ksj84MtC
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHwGT7pe6o
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCGpXEPzpM
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4KM5imyz
Strawberry glared at him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO4o9Ju4BR
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8LG3MJyi
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovusvz1q1
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQExreVPPW
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxVwWehNii
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlcwZ6eLE
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIuRhJ7fL
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsy4oKLZ6m
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa85x9CZE3
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMaDMuabU
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssuvNBPreA
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdl2G8ip7U
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfy5YYl0eY
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnF29qQrhw
Muffins walked over slowly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloAg5oE33J
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyV2PijRv7
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGJRQ05r8X
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62YckxTnCM
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e56hAbkPr
Strawberry turned around.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINz2fMCzRD
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyzyQFREvL
"I guess" Strawberry said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwDP9dKPlA
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEkUmgnDI
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6HyXTlZvJ
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRsz01ZwXK
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
