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?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJacn3hQYlm
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA4vAodxa00p
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.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA1WZh20x7A0
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAqgcZ9dLQt2
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA3MSsl8sS5C
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlTUGBEHLiO
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
392Please respect copyright.PENANASoRWNVIiaq
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?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtbjkSYyVgk
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAIfdDWOxHbA
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxqwGHWll8z
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAZCwYWwinzX
"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"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeXx8i9sncy
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAj3YgoS9ypX
"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"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWER4KAqdHC
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANATX7vq2DrEh
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAjiCbsy1dXc
392Please respect copyright.PENANAIUZSSDpT1y
392Please respect copyright.PENANAwmjC9BnAOG
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvr24vrKEX1
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaLdc0ZI1f2
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWrXWaH6j4n
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAbDk4zWbkvk
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaN4K4h6194
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAupWKktcLOg
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
392Please respect copyright.PENANADZnxJzBwIj
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKQRlWyFN0y
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmd4YPdfKx9
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANADvPErzgnCJ
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
392Please respect copyright.PENANANTtu7y7Y9W
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXXAtIskC69
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYwNcWwK3zM

392Please respect copyright.PENANAxAmYFuAGuX
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"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxLBdGSGl4s
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAn2YSoDThK5
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANALFd6VaCyoa
"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.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAX64huQ3Dqd
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUAIsaAwZah
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAacHnLfnX77
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAL4HEPAMnea
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKfrTDXQEER
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
392Please respect copyright.PENANABtyoD7Ex9q
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAjjgn9gCZyE
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAEPHiiwmwKV
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAOtNTMZA9yi
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAIvKIj185XW
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAreLxjuQs5b
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVngKDshFHz
392Please respect copyright.PENANAG5WS9uxNal
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlVxDZX8ms6
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXLOuF0DOUR
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAm2UrMC8M4G
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAAnbeUB8PDe
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
392Please respect copyright.PENANANfVTiQS3is
Strawberry glared at him.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAougd1P8nYM
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPGnjcdwhmF
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxcAnJzBPIE
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmNySEmBhvw
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAURgKXTe1uO
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYwWkzSJj4h
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMYs5SMzGNs
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAm1X4HDvfwh
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkybbegstrp
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Ja5jruf3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYFahSNS2KU
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
392Please respect copyright.PENANAt3ZqmLlHki
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.392Please respect copyright.PENANA5VJxrOzaeD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAiH7rFWZdiL
Muffins walked over slowly.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxDo4gckLYX
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVU4RuPg00j
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVs3aCdMNe1
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
392Please respect copyright.PENANADVEl3rTMsX
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAuwcwE3YYRe
Strawberry turned around.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcKNd1PVOgm
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA2lVHnhpJRS
"I guess" Strawberry said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlu7CLRZY4h
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA22zBPbAhpc
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
392Please respect copyright.PENANAu0moVAHlF1
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAhCRRdODVKd
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
