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?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAbXRBkvPNoJ
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAZDfz9RM1Zn
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.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAGhpH13Dbcd
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANA5OFlQywcA4
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANARN87Ex9Whm
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA1efHORUToc
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAWlbYeIqzwT
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?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANARW7rtX4ok2
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAHlt3PrYJc4
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6WTXWPh1z
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANALDpG9r7fKV
"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"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAv5yCcZQrjy
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA6KUwAakfFB
"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"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAYUWeG2Bhky
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAnAorZm5yyO
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAN6S4NjKBqL
406Please respect copyright.PENANAu5aN2faZkb
406Please respect copyright.PENANAv8QcV0Est4
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
406Please respect copyright.PENANADiCWF6qLhr
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAHXy3q0w0jQ
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAop3lyHhCiZ
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAhNGaMqOs0i
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
406Please respect copyright.PENANARtTPg35VJC
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAtszTQyMltk
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAxdcNCyzxWz
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAYvZH6EviXf
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
406Please respect copyright.PENANANQKJqtW4nH
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAftKMYjq3Ze
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAYkYjndGI4s
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAPyrHHtVYX2
"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"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAcRPM5Eabum
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAISuGrUQ5Bc
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAzl2gPoDUDF
"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.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAOJMbSrz9cP
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAD2e3oOHlYA
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
406Please respect copyright.PENANABT6tRPEYBL
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAoxYrj5tjFo
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAOyYn173Ims
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
406Please respect copyright.PENANALrm2yhuvCA
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAqzDr2EcpPK
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAUvCtV6DNuK
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAVgZAkcGZrE
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA3NeTKobjlt
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAPGspbiEi7c
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAKgSOyg7SFj
406Please respect copyright.PENANAC3p7EGhcuI
406Please respect copyright.PENANAroQ1MVVYqT
406Please respect copyright.PENANAuyF1RSlpPf
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAhfLP5Oft8W
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAcVRLKrXdg4
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAhAebpaMxmw
Strawberry glared at him.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1d4l9BL4s
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAKethfcetB6
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tB91JyWt
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAXBYVNGEPLM
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAp4TP75IoCb
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANAARJKcirw9N
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
406Please respect copyright.PENANA0s4wlVVQWU
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAXToDkz2GNl
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA9LEevm45HO
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAAfEcXpmxSI
406Please respect copyright.PENANAqb0RLze8rD
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
406Please respect copyright.PENANAlPaElTHDHy
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.406Please respect copyright.PENANAhb3Ngi3d0R
406Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Jp1AviyF
Muffins walked over slowly.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAYHfvd9qGVQ
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAwUXJgjBJ8M
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAYhLr4GHWmJ
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
406Please respect copyright.PENANACU4eZw0G2o
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA6eDI8OiWtL
Strawberry turned around.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAvxhb5Er05a
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAnmXYfEOAjJ
"I guess" Strawberry said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAWHTlQgOrQU
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAxGfdJ1w0kR
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
406Please respect copyright.PENANA0BaVQ763pg
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
406Please respect copyright.PENANAtdYqxPqjvn
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
