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?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9YBMJBXcQ9
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgGK5EUDF6R
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqr1QIHBK0R
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKgTfVeSivt
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGDDu1xwb9D
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANADaTuOv9OOm
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAwxqu2slnwb
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?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANA7XoKTBHBBs
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
247Please respect copyright.PENANApKDcycNPPE
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQbJa1NKAET
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAcHqMpGgbIS
"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"
247Please respect copyright.PENANALIbDlrFdJK
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
247Please respect copyright.PENANA531hR4lkF3
"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"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAooFYgQCK9x
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAasG4p6hqcU
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Q3mBzpnJ
247Please respect copyright.PENANArDfCMdN2Pj
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJMaXJrgVEd
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
247Please respect copyright.PENANApk8m9HPTlQ
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAfBuLwwjevd
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA0yvrqgu1Iy
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMLPsYreUfK
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAd3OKm8JElO
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMH8OJAue6d
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
247Please respect copyright.PENANApchARgzmfP
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGfDcBTjntW
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAY1K9XSQthz
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wJmccMpz
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZf2lMjGpr5
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAe2ZoSOJ3wU
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAs0BFyu7gNI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxKqlyDo2VU
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuaaX1VnvaK
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"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOGTaswamul
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnnOoVIolg6
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANACuh4rpGzQb
"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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANApS6Hr0ii9B
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAMKAyimyCrm
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbO2gAw70zl
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAudkCJ0jf0s
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ZLn4MXO1
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJqRn0b0fyC
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAtBD29IyFGS
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
247Please respect copyright.PENANABj8tTSEO2n
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAesi2uLQ6t5
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjlzQQrmddb
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkLI1abDVLN
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzJUr56Feij
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjOL4Z1waRF
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuwyy6ldI0O
247Please respect copyright.PENANANPWMkjcAGT
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKwvcHSi1J0
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAojeJMDchMF
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJVpMtiupEN
Strawberry glared at him.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAtg0uooZfkt
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuwwod1sI12
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAW0WDwEleFw
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjWoyf6WTtA
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYnB5fSrm8e
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANALLjwuxsyoQ
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
247Please respect copyright.PENANAcOXZMcWL9i
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAe6jhDGImoi
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPx7IuRZSOq
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4nbXNSu60W
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUkUiiW7wdb
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
247Please respect copyright.PENANAG94SBpI7ic
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.247Please respect copyright.PENANA4l172kzBFI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUOz6uPTUVu
Muffins walked over slowly.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPMUsYxlOqA
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUmeqse1aKc
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8gx0dspxT
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAtJXc5dLfxA
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAVhRzUl9bx4
Strawberry turned around.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhlH5NsyrPB
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3PG16g4Qox
"I guess" Strawberry said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8dL5UeRY7J
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAclZbTNgzjS
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
247Please respect copyright.PENANAVpOmvziuME
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ZleKcV2I
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
