“Sorry” said Lemonade. “It’s just-”

“Lemonade, I heard this story in art” said California.

“Well, I’m gonna tell it again” said Lemonade. “Everybody is blaming Gepetto for what happened to Strudel last year. Gepetto just told Strudel what he saw on TV. He never told him to do anything. And now Strudel is fine. And some people still talk about it”

“Who?” Pancake interrupted.

“Doreen & Fiona” Lemonade said quietly.

“Don’t listen to them!” said Strawberry.

“I’m not done with my story” said Lemonade.

“Ok, go on” said Pancake.

“Strudel even forgave Gepetto!” Lemonade continued. “And now Strudel is at fault for Tom dying. It’s like, there’s a new person to blame. Not Gepetto”

“Lemonade, you never hated Gepetto, did you?” said Pancake.

“No” said Lemonade. “Of course not”

“Then why do you have to hate Strudel, then?” said Pancake. “Because Strudel caused him to get hurt?”

“I don’t know” Lemonade broke down. “It’s just that Doreen && Fiona-”

“What about them?” said Pancake.
