“What was that
for?” asked Twister.
“Sorry”
said Pancake, realizing what she had just done.
Later on, Strawberry,
Pancake, Orange Kiwi, and Virginia
went to Pancake’s house.
“Strawberry,
truth or dare?” asked Pancake.
“Um, truth”
said Strawberry.
“Do you feel
totally safe with Strudel?” asked Pancake. “You’re sure he won’t rape you?”
“WHAT?!?!?!?”
Strawberry exclaimed.
“Just….”
said Pancake. “Never mind”
“Why did you
ask me that?” Strawberry said seriously.
Pancake shook her
head and ran up to her room.
“Strawberry”
Orange Kiwi said. “Just leave her alone”
The next day, Strawberry
went to see Strudel at his house. Waffles, Cheese, & Aloha were at the gazebo, arguing with Pia. “I
did nothing” Pia said. But they all knew Pia was behind this all.
Meanwhile at
Strudel’s, Strawberry asked “What did you do to Pancake?”
Strudel takes his
arm out from behind Strawberry.
“I asked you
a question” said Strawberry.
Strudel sighed. “Nothing,
ok?”
Strawberry got up
off the couch they were sitting on and headed to the door. Strudel poked her with a crutch and got up, trying to stop her.
“Don’t touch me. Don’t ever touch me” said Strawberry.
“But I’m
your boyfriend” said Strudel.
Strawberry pushed
him down. “Not if you raped my best friend you're not” And she left. A few minutes later her cell rang.
“Strawberry
get over here to Strudel’s house” Pancake said. A lot of other people were already over there. Strawberry sat
on the couch by Strudel & Pancake.
“I had to help
him up” Pancake said. “He has a broken leg, you can’t push him down”
“Well he can’t
rape you” Strawberry said.
“I-” said
Strudel. “Was drunk. I’m sorry”
”I’ll never forget that” said Pancake, with tears
in her eyes. “I’ll never forget that night. And I don’t want you doing that to my best friend, either”
“I’m sorry”
said Strudel, kissing Strawberry.
“Are you ok
with this?” Strawberry asked Pancake.
“Yep”
Pancake smiled as Twister walked over and kissed her.
The next day at school,
Plymouth was on the news. “Remember to get a form in the office if you want
to nominate a prom king & queen”
Everybody wanted to
be prom king or queen. Banana was worried, though, because she still had feelings for Banjo.
“The finalists
for king & queen will be announced next week” Plymouth continued. The
TaTa’s were going to be performing at the prom.
Strudel and his band
mates had a plan to make a bunch of people happy. And a few relieved. But if anyone ever found out that they were behind this,
they would be in serious trouble.
