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?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA4EXLjmusD7
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
443Please respect copyright.PENANALBLsnhTV6X
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.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXlnpgtE0BP
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMdZtEavi17
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3YfzBZDU8b
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANASEczm7ssuO
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAu6JtBo1TUi
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?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAGMuM4Osz13
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA4yNWu1D7xL
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAlVHiKPLwui
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAFeE1bdg0hw
"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"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAS5yFBpWiLc
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhujpKHUCSt
"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"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAvDZMONd58g
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjByzpjr0Hr
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5ARkihwebA
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaY0As5YDHC
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMNwC9QcnKs
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAPt8kSzCwRl
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAt6AjOr4avh
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANArLmPSEfJIB
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANARF09Ul9MQa
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAbNtYxH2rhK
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAyuo57ogQHP
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAadMhPVvI6D
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAZGKIVxRUlI
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzDtn1dDyvs
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8QOb8WIrPJ
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAr9dBbJwbKA
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUdm57dg18P
"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"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA6yBw5LnHWT
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3FeQ3j4Plz
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAIwBzCJCfNl
"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.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAVhjZpFl7yz
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAD71I4QBV61
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3hFHTFqRP4
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxGTPmeb5Bk
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMcW9ELBz1T
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAevuZdRbpkS
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAv6vn84CTd3
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
443Please respect copyright.PENANASlGBtGcOzo
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAS6teBceDri
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA69qnk7mKjr
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwyITVvDKqe
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
443Please respect copyright.PENANARL7X03g35v
443Please respect copyright.PENANABKXn50VDD0
443Please respect copyright.PENANAvOxbjARsbC
443Please respect copyright.PENANA0g1Is1xJ21
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANArYWceTLmZN
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAq77fJwznOF
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAW3gnHtT1Xs
Strawberry glared at him.
443Please respect copyright.PENANANC1NYJ1EQH
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxK0Q5f79S7
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3tzVNpbE7l
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAdzhcCvxmKc
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAkVcyJKZAP9
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAze2SpIVfK1
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxQO9qdmiuc
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANADrsHMYAe3a
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA9fyvRAUNny
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
443Please respect copyright.PENANApvone8ufa1
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXZXRSb9DNz
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
443Please respect copyright.PENANACbx5ZuSG9p
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.443Please respect copyright.PENANAnBIn6hgj8o
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8vwlAsrKL2
Muffins walked over slowly.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAHxXl0H9gQV
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ8DZb7QBU
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8dwTB6KHBp
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAtvH2VQN0Vy
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
443Please respect copyright.PENANA1jWULx1cas
Strawberry turned around.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjPApGTq954
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcdE30KDAHD
"I guess" Strawberry said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5sosOwgrsW
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAEn6kSUnxWw
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMqPfdtK0GS
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
443Please respect copyright.PENANAj80075PoUl
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
