Strawberry laid next to him, as Strudel went on the other side.
"You guys disturb me" he said, eating some nachos and putting on a Cedar Point sweatshirt.

"I want one of those" said Muffins.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAwfR8fmRNay
"Go to a gift shop" said Strudel.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAh9vqXwH11R
"Shut up" whispered Muffins, pointing at Strawberry, who was already sleeping.
461Please respect copyright.PENANABAtk2i9rnZ
"Yes, your majesty" said Strudel, fiddling with a Top Thrill Dragster keychain.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAuOviG8073E
Muffins rolled his eyes and laid his head next to Strawberry's.

"I'm feeling some residual guilt about leaving the 3 of them in the park" said Kiwi.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9OymgkQpN
"Kiwi, they're fine" said Shady.
461Please respect copyright.PENANApmeMWQKG4r
The next morning, Strudel woke up first. He had a text message from Shady.
"Strawberry, Muffins, wake up" he said. "They left us here on purpose. But they saw police cars coming in the park"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAubmW31vvxD
Strawberry & Muffins got out of each other's arms.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAYNerBZT1tf
"Let's go" said Strudel. "Everyone's waiting for us on the beach"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAPwannBnJFd
They rushed over by the Wicked Twister.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAzqsOonhmWE
"Hold it right there"
461Please respect copyright.PENANADes3IUMRet
They turned around and saw 2 cops.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA0q6X6Onco5
"What do you 3 think you're doing here?" one of them asked.
461Please respect copyright.PENANABdgy7P6xqz
"It's my fault" said Strudel. "Don't blame them"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAYO03nVVSe5
"This is a serious offense" said the other cop.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA2HMNARtnir
"I understand that" said Strudel. "And I take full responsibility"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAABRBLB4Stp
"Alright, you two are free to go then" the first cop said to Strawberry & Muffins. "Let this be a warning. You, blondie, put your hands behind your back" he handcuffed Strudel, as the other cop led Strawberry & Muffins to the exit.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAM6R2sQ4oDP
On the way home, everyone wondered about Strudel.
"What if he has to go to jail?" asked Waffles.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAKS0R0CD5to
"He took the blame!" Shady exclaimed. "That's not my problem"

Later on, Strudel was sitting in his room. His mom came in.
"Strudel, can we talk?" she asked.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAvo1AwjQabN
"Yes, Mother" Strudel replied. "What would you like?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAfe1lXLWFDk
"What is up with you lately?" Pearl asked. "First Stitch, then Tom, then your car, now this?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5zrh9Bc9
"Mom-" Strudel began.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA7iF8V7I8ty
"Not to mention you taking off to L.A. last summer" Pearl continued.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uds1K6Mdg
"Mom, what are you trying to say?" asked Strudel.
461Please respect copyright.PENANABJl51WMhEl
"You're out of control lately" said Pearl. "And it needs to stop"
461Please respect copyright.PENANA7MlbAyYiu8
"I'm sorry, Mom" Strudel said sweetly.
461Please respect copyright.PENANADElCVmJ9t0
"Honey, you're messing with the law now" Pearl said seriously. "You also shoplifted that sweatshirt you're wearing"
461Please respect copyright.PENANA30k9bSauC2
"Mom-" Strudel started to say.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAkViYGuX5pp
"You're gonna go and live with CJ's family for awhile" said Pearl.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAv7VYDDKXpt
"Why?" asked Strudel.
461Please respect copyright.PENANArrjQQbCg8b
"Because I need time to think" said Pearl. "You can spend more time with Pancake this way, and I can really think this through"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAoZzeSbRtAZ
"Think what through?" asked Strudel.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAzBEgYxYFpG
"You" said Pearl. "And how you've been acting"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAcCW9AimKJR
"Alright" Strudel said sadly. He got a few things, and went outside, but he turned the other way and went down the black path.
461Please respect copyright.PENANARo262N7lB7
"Hey, Strudel" ChiChi called from the gazebo. "How much trouble are you in?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAGz2qq6esYu
"A lot" said Strudel. "I'm going to stay at CJ's for awhile"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAW9TXMN3QqS
"That's your punishment?" ChiChi asked.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAtr9IkMHKio
"I guess so" said Strudel. "Even though that means I get to spend more time with Pan"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAusoo1lytum
"So you're like, kicked out?" asked ChiChi.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA2ISIXZ5A97
"I guess you could say that" said Strudel. "So, what are you doing here at the gazebo?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANA03xFGG1Wp4
"I don't know" said ChiChi. "I was bored and decided to come down here"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAdf8WtIpVLa
"Cool" said Strudel, sitting down.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAWx8IC9Xrzf
"Strudel, can I ask you something?" ChiChi asked.
461Please respect copyright.PENANA8MYOF0G7ly
"Sure, what?" asked Strudel.
461Please respect copyright.PENANArUEsIlmhjc
"Who was your first kiss with?" ChiChi asked.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAKKD3lCTRQL
"Bertha" Strudel shuddered. "Why? Who was yours?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANADMYMgaK1Np
"I haven't had mine yet" ChiChi said, embarrassed.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAl4XhqbmxDE
"Really?" asked Strudel. "Garlic didn't even kiss you before he moved?"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAUpPLMkBI6w
"Nope" said ChiChi. "I guess he didn't really like me"
461Please respect copyright.PENANAaG0k2ZBmoZ
"Sure he did" said Strudel. "What's there not to like? You're beautiful."
461Please respect copyright.PENANAJjsp8dGgnb
ChiChi smiled a bit and pushed a strand of hair out of her face.
461Please respect copyright.PENANAM6hcWPA3Gi
"There's a first time for everything" Strudel said, as he leaned in and kissed her.
