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?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqo91ejdpea
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAE7wSR3xlax
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA3s1jQuR04w
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAaqFGUZvuBj
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAjPiyTx1zFz
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAX0cfvWlk1Q
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5fdFhLLPGs
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?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9C4EgEY3qa
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAHjnvNSOi7w
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA1k2NlRssoL
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA3XEltgUwuL
"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"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAY85zL3Wmkp
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAAo9gQMM8Qb
"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"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAna6qL86wB8
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAtU7JDSTHli
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqqWmUT2mTl
442Please respect copyright.PENANA7j1GBkaqIs
442Please respect copyright.PENANAT05zhlcuHo
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA2vNxleXfmI
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA7BVHnEbe3O
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAg4zAkaVQeJ
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXyoVroUnaY
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9UQ7mG67f9
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA8fUbKhE2YD
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ1oTkyvVn
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAd8wjxYzq1R
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA0kuWXQ8psY
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dlu6J6K3F
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA8dXoDb3hUN
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAKMpRLFKVZs
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
442Please respect copyright.PENANASjM6g7VS9b

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"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAeyO1pxTSIw
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWaJ57Ds7Yp
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA1eZGFeuJcJ
"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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAMuDNN5Evmt
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAPR4CoPfAgA
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAfo06WuqaxC
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAFSXRuLL67G
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAuhuvshnfnY
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAfZRBQjj9lj
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAfexhikxSPO
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA0ryzOPTWbj
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAkvTmflohLC
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAlXuqmuGigp
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXbQynDyi4I
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9R75Tc04eF
442Please respect copyright.PENANA0tBg2WAvPg
442Please respect copyright.PENANAErwyjCIgRu
442Please respect copyright.PENANAgBULMmCI0s
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANADeTdTuKFS6
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAmIISvyxn62
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAN4faY8wa8E
Strawberry glared at him.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA3MA1BuU8XJ
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAU5RQstrtgk
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAni8lFvvgG3
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANADrU9cm1RWN
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAmAXllmrqc7
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6gw7EmR6AR
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
442Please respect copyright.PENANA86kWWaNwR2
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAxaxdE2AwPP
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAiHvD0jLN1R
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAbUJDfyswGc
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWr9R3eUXoQ
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
442Please respect copyright.PENANAgIRM3Ut4j9
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.442Please respect copyright.PENANACCJ2RxO8Wk
442Please respect copyright.PENANACI7IhtcX2d
Muffins walked over slowly.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAGTROlHppS8
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAeCJEgecx4I
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAVyPvlTsrlo
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAwW9LUn7Guc
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANAuPK4huxRL7
Strawberry turned around.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAtDjaWcpGWC
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANANxhMFzLauq
"I guess" Strawberry said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANARcJWRAmQbM
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAGkJU38OGWM
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA1NZFfYDhx0
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAbrYJ4ShhmY
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
