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?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANApERL57MUdr
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJvwPjZ1ZOv
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1UTDoDOO5X
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ghMH6k8s
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmB7cFn12
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAtcchGvGGQS
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2n3wNniu5U
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?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcLMEHlDhxT
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfgIUNKy24g
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA302otUIaxO
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsVhbieu2MV
"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"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAtedHGGCodQ
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIXAUWwBlBd
"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"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAoBvsTh4HQ8
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANALNFFRsM3vt
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
416Please respect copyright.PENANABgiFvQSabi
416Please respect copyright.PENANACJqFj2np1a
416Please respect copyright.PENANAzO5ehFwIs5
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAa0etttpmDK
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAuUvHTEt51
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANARNbkxHFZim
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAP2G6wZY4Bh
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAMtSf4Xgs9F
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAf1poVpXXE2
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1CjFRV5RhE
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAx8unZBNYAR
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfGYak1o6pu
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAK8cpLOlwTF
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeWCRtkWAY1
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3UwvPBQkws
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJVHqvWi6CP

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"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvU5XCh4ScE
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJwR8j8eetp
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAaowuzYQs1f
"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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQmiaxpadrJ
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mtz6dVxZp
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2CaduGwwGO
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeGYqHomtle
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAxAHI1BGXhI
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
416Please respect copyright.PENANANafQfuCCUi
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuqiAXBJCcs
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWgHT50nUka
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
416Please respect copyright.PENANARkcaGFxYiy
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANACsdF61I5X6
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAleca9ln7HD
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
416Please respect copyright.PENANANlOYj9my8c
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8UAuhNdlbU
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmGFNZqH5tI
416Please respect copyright.PENANAERaE1l1paO
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZB8aXmhKJp
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAr0UJLrLoUG
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
416Please respect copyright.PENANARFiSu3snPI
Strawberry glared at him.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0y3i3oMjby
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAB36PK35oQ2
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvkR6kPfQZK
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZFfa1F9CWL
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7BFIv1hCwH
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyLpOmh4PZ2
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
416Please respect copyright.PENANAL2VxJMpzuR
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5dPceoC5pK
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANA6kNYWy0uXi
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAqCRSjpKptJ
416Please respect copyright.PENANAOgbN9FrwnL
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdbLVvkQRF5
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.416Please respect copyright.PENANAlAs10NV2jN
416Please respect copyright.PENANAre7JdkSQA7
Muffins walked over slowly.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdrhCIZdkhp
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAP2I67sxyO8
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0hMc6q2yFu
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAqQtPsvjDUj
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAhdMpoDcNhW
Strawberry turned around.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHwDFtxHua8
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgXdLZhgvcI
"I guess" Strawberry said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAK3yiorerdr
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANANoRm5fxzk4
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHarShzQT9h
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA26mHV6zb6V
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
