“Thanks” said Strudel. “Strawberry, I’m sorry”

Strawberry said nothing.

“Can we talk?” Strudel asked. “Please?”

“OK” said Strawberry and they walked to the gazebo. “Where were you?” Strawberry asked.

“L.A.” said Strudel. “With the Flaming Hot Dogs” he said, fingering quotes around the words ‘Flaming Hot Dogs’

“Why did you come back?” Strawberry asked quietly.

“This Elizabeth girl kept hitting on me” said Strudel. “She needed plastic surgery”

Strawberry waited for what she wanted to hear.

Strudel continued. “Plus, their band sucked”

“Oh” said Strawberry, nonchalantly.

“And I couldn’t live without you” Strudel finished.

Strawberry smiled. That’s what she wanted to hear.

Meanwhile, Doreen and Fiona were yelling at Lemonade. “We told you NOT to get your stupid friends involved in this!” Doreen shouted.

“Don’t yell at her like that” Gepetto said.

“Excuse me?” said Doreen. “Mr. I’m gonna run off to California without telling my loser girlfriend just because my loser friend cheated on his loser girlfriend with HER loser friend?”

“Shut up, Doreen” said Lemonade. “Just shut your TRAMP hole, ok?”

“Your idiotic boyfriend MURDERED my boyfriend!” Fiona shouted.
