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?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAn1iacg8Hxz
"Come over right now" Sully replied.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAc7YqCCYN0O
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.
467Please respect copyright.PENANApgevjlKb0a
"What is this?" Cherry asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAyu62nj5ETl
"Sit down, Cherry" the older man said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAy4H3lkPHsM
"What?!" Cherry exclaimed. "Who are you? What's going on?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA1FBMOlc9TW
"My name is James," the man said. "And me, and everyone in this room is concerned about you"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAACScIi57g9
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?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAVAuzSXlCJE
"What the hell?" Cherry exclaimed. "I'm not addicted, Sully, and I don't need a damn intervention"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAEtpNtLLRC2
"Cherry, yes you are, and yes you do" Sully said. "Please accept this opportunity"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAKNGAP9TkXw
"And what if I don't?" Cherry asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAiMWfOv5Ozg
"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"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAUVET8sCRgH
Cherry frowned. "But Pancake's party is tonight, and I don't wanna spend the time in rehab"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAUrgKNSI5Zh
"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"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA23fGb6dt99
"What do you say, Babe?" Sully asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAxjK8dLum5u
"Yeah" Cherry sighed. "Whatever"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAGxVxmm3Ic8
467Please respect copyright.PENANA4tAJATS2Y6
467Please respect copyright.PENANAtEuZ3K3tJO
Later that day, everyone started to arrive at Pancake's house.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAZDhit8B26L
Cherry was being completely distant from Sully.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAoX9f501E49
"Babe, what's wrong?" Sully asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANANpTpt6Fhtb
"I can't believe you had a fucking intervention for me" Cherry opened a beer. "Why would you do that?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAlis66taktj
"Because I love you" Sully said. "I want you to get better"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAxkNH2XikOi
"Well I love cocaine" Cherry shot back. "I love it so much that I-"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAN21D2mfJgR
All of a sudden, Dimsum burst through the side door. "I killed them"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA67TcTFjyMi
"Killed who?" Pixie asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAUL298XZa6e
"Eddie and Lenny" Dimsum said. "Those guys who hurt Sully"
467Please respect copyright.PENANApfo9wD2vtb
"What?!?" Sully exclaimed. "How?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAy9DFQuQmls
"I'm just kidding" Dimsum laughed. "But they've been caught, and they're in prison"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA10NO76Whg3
"That is so awesome!" Sully was relieved. "Oh, Cherry, what were you saying, Babe?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANABgprLK9aT5
"Nothing" Cherry retorted, as she stormed off.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAjlefTMhDvJ

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"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA46M3dhyOmF
"Okay, Strudel" Pancake sighed. "I forgive you"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAP7LLOzpUoR
"R-really?" Strudel gasped. "So we're friends, right?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAlAxcZZGnjC
"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.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAKvdGUah3E7
"I'm sure he'll show" Stitch said. "Why do you even care? I thought you were over him"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAZTS4KCX9UK
"Wow, and you call yourself his best friend" Strawberry shook her head.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAfocutD7NKs
"Am I missing something?" Stitch asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAWcJTKnY3oD
"Obviously" Strawberry got up and walked away.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAIDIShEWx9m
A few minutes later, Muffins showed up.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAZsbeCrWkPg
"Your girlfriend was looking for you" Stitch said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANANy2V1QN0gY
"Girlfriend?" Muffins questioned. "I don't have a girlfriend"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA4bTGzjvBsq
"Wow, women" Stitch shook his head.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA5JB8MKNJvj
"What?" Muffins said. "You can't stick to just one?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAppKmUVh0fL
Stitch glared at Muffins. "We both agreed that never happened. But apparently you and Strawberry did... again"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAenru5LkaEz
"Oh, yeah, that..." Muffins said slowly.
467Please respect copyright.PENANArojDFtxFB9
467Please respect copyright.PENANAFY3WI6X9Y6
467Please respect copyright.PENANA6rhf1HwVhX
467Please respect copyright.PENANAkOHdtmAeFR
Meanwhile, inside, Strudel decided to sit next to Strawberry, who was sitting alone. "Want a beer?" he asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA7c4aR7ByRO
"I can't" Strawberry said quietly.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAuv2MT41Sol
"Why not, don't trust me?" Strudel laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't roofie it"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAvZgZElyVCU
Strawberry glared at him.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA13FT56wqAK
"Okay, what's wrong?" Strudel asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAKq9QjVaZzk
Strawberry sighed. "Promise me you won't tell?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAzAFsXs6noB
"Yeah, of course" Strudel said. "What's up?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAHwmqk2aeNv
"Strudel, I think I'm pregnant" Strawberry said. "With Muffins' baby"
467Please respect copyright.PENANA8aJ2dZUpqp
"Oh....." Strudel said. "Oh, um, wow, does he know?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAu4BhCtvAAU
Strawberry shook her head. "No one does. And he won't even talk to me..."
467Please respect copyright.PENANA1pzE51xaGt
"I'll be right back" Strudel said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAuAehf8lqpx
"Strudel...." Strawberry said. "What are you doing?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAPqdBQYrQ45
"Don't worry about it" Strudel left the room, and went around the back of the house.
"Muffins" he said once he found him.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA1SBcNIOTjg
467Please respect copyright.PENANAruapDICHgt
"Come here" Strudel motioned.
Muffins turned around. "Strudel... hi..."
467Please respect copyright.PENANA3O5OlEEuEA
Muffins hadn't talked to Strudel since he told him he wasn't gay.467Please respect copyright.PENANAbclYYnWN8W
467Please respect copyright.PENANAob6V9tCSlJ
Muffins walked over slowly.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA2LNGwFFAny
"If you got Strawberry pregnant, and are a deadbeat, I'll tell everyone about Kalahari" Strudel said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAxUab8Bcudf
"What?!?" Muffins hissed.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAFu5iLtNZx5
"You'd better go talk to her" Strudel warned.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAmO99SI53U3
Muffins slowly walked inside. "Strawberry?"
467Please respect copyright.PENANADhaofTSkJ8
Strawberry turned around.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAMvrUJ4AAYm
"Can we talk?" Muffins asked.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAFeJvh2WgoM
"I guess" Strawberry said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAk0sZXA0M0d
"Strudel told me you're pregnant" Muffins said.
467Please respect copyright.PENANAOWH8ZGnWyO
"I don't know" Strawberry said quietly. "I have a test in my purse but I never took it. I'll take it tomorrow"
467Please respect copyright.PENANAboMIEZxjFG
"You'll take it now" Muffins said, leading her up the stairs.
467Please respect copyright.PENANA0JolemRxZI
"I'll take it now" Strawberry sighed, as she followed him.
