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?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVmakv1S3dI
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
387Please respect copyright.PENANADcvVBfO6tl
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0DUQVpXlru
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAs5UUNyREND
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKj1io6DMk0
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANArakcf5iTm0
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKYnuB9ylxa
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?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAouXdyvciYT
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAa1KgFYL5qC
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVp94MnsBog
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAazG1T0ZYUE
"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"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgiI3Ud4Phy
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAIHsOQp3Fow
"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"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiApPQdRJx8
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAPyPiAMEndO
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAcou8ge0CtV
387Please respect copyright.PENANAz7yKpMso3f
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8xniutcAJE
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsraz41V1Ux
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
387Please respect copyright.PENANALjWTsm8U4M
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAAJy85PVg8S
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHJt3e9shbt
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9XOZIvedHI
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAmbbLdK12om
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKR7bCNwcf8
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOUm1JOV7ni
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAU9waWAZFd7
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZW68vjtcs3
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAaBH47VUJqI
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fc7JgwZDQ
"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"
387Please respect copyright.PENANA86AfRw25Jo
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAibxqkG4PvY
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAGSOA5zCFR4
"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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANArHquURpdu9
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAtOkoqrvPIx
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5Axew9q0NH
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAS4OWDklTfC
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAIzh1zzCuLM
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAceXfo3k16z
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA935yIfujF7
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAt2diDPG0Vm
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA51DqmhOypv
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAExrLp5vR7f
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
387Please respect copyright.PENANATIfpV5MfBI
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAMqWVEKSnIT
387Please respect copyright.PENANAm4CRu3VRqg
387Please respect copyright.PENANAMeEGDEuNtA
387Please respect copyright.PENANAqzUh2rvTn6
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ht8bqP2LX
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAL9wtp3fThF
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9bdfypphf4
Strawberry glared at him.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA2X6SqJaXq2
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnZAgTIi7KC
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWDwAJ0l5HP
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOKu1ennA7K
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkeZnX0sFbr
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVG22jrPXKH
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
387Please respect copyright.PENANApuZQodItmg
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA2XyPlNPTJV
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWTyjeEzh9H
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0SOOSgyAxb
387Please respect copyright.PENANAX1i2vLwl6F
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
387Please respect copyright.PENANAqe42yfBPlF
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.387Please respect copyright.PENANAkFLFzYGYNl
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgO7vP1NOcp
Muffins walked over slowly.
387Please respect copyright.PENANALEyxfT5EuT
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5UJdlBcL41
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgVceCdrlHl
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbU0hUaGlUW
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
387Please respect copyright.PENANA7RFN70SAWL
Strawberry turned around.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHQz61EvhH6
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAh92hpIlTrw
"I guess" Strawberry said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAesNbM1rvIW
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAyEI87kom83
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
387Please respect copyright.PENANAufMny9jpyD
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnr613cE1H0
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
