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?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOVeIdwuXp
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLGu3QgNkp
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjsGuosX8C
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHft99qmI
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqBav4a0ko
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD50hQvdkX
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCkCsZtLlA
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?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFqqZ0kVHu
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGZ2ojeuDw
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEATAqBCGk
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dh1lq3xDG
"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"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrfX9U13QL
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKe6z9x0So
"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"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bt3Yl7xrH
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SUnkr8Eai
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V8jplghK0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBxLdxpKAY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QxcMMjs8b
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbogR27C8nL
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Quk8Aanb
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7PHOpes2
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCe52PfVID
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3kyZrC5v
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1jMt4tgd
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXjYGMyX67
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlXEdqOP3
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUVI6nF8Ad
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpkStDlbqR
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlpOAFiE3j
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL92OxaVqj
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.

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"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9yr3JJDTn
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e0ZzEoafO
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8mEcFD9R
"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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMEXTIsel3
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17j3LIBrnq
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm1Tj3crqB
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoGw1TupXw
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBN0rZb3YU
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgg5RNtvsw
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbvUBhRqVg
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0la0MJEX
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydocMSXJId
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7jTE3u2dZ
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7575jB919L
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LzBD1WRHD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRRqAWuNBu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmyMyWcXp
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqNaJTBT9P
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAar2mhVPXJ
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeibylzNdL
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6ntCBdYD
Strawberry glared at him.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUrOii8dCY
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtwgP5KcV
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BbPp8SZN
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKnYEl205p
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l7NFuIeT8
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiP8HKTBCj
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CfunkbT5d
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaEI9GdyuZ
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yVRhhIvDM
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGc77v53w
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2CnGBJEl3
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKFICL0kH
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxzPW2cRpt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNib6GQ1jH7
Muffins walked over slowly.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0incWjChB
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHmjA9UlZt
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTx6t0GMWj
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RG3wTePoW
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmbDHOUaFl
Strawberry turned around.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1F7tfz9Nq
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpK01wWnAG
"I guess" Strawberry said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbNeuen2tM
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTn8t63695
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtpltYyY1
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKO7kVhTG3
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
