“This is NOT for your benefit” said Waffles, and she hesitantly pecked him on the cheek.

“Yea!” shouted Ringo.

“Now leave Strudel alone” said Strawberry.

“Sorry” said Ringo. “Strudel, we’re cool, man”

“What makes you say that?” said Strudel.

“I got to kiss Waffles” said Ringo.

“That WASN’T for your benefit!” Waffles shouted. “I didn’t want you && Strudel fighting!”

”But I thought you liked Smog!” said Ringo.

“I do” said Waffles. “Strudel is a friend, ok?”

“Yea” said Ringo. “Friend with benefits.”

Muffins had had enough. “Leave Waffles alone!” he shouted. “She wants to like Smog, that’s her business! Just stop bothering her!”

“Alright!” shouted Ringo. “God, I don’t wanna lose all my friends just because I like their friend! .........who has a boyfriend.”

“Man” said Strudel. “I think we need a re-party. So I can get my presents”

”And eat cake!” said Skittles.

“AND invite Smog!” said Waffles.

“We could have it on Monday” Pancake suggested. “Sort of like an end of summer party”
