The next day at school, Orange Kiwi walked up to Strawberry.

“You suck” said Strawberry. “Go away”

“Strawberry, please talk to me” said Orange Kiwi.

“Why should I?” asked Strawberry. “You spread a vicious rumor about me”

“I did start the rumor” said Orange Kiwi. “But I didn’t spread it”

“Stop pretending that I’m Liberty” said Strawberry. “She really DID get pregnant!”

“I never even saw that episode!” Orange Kiwi yelled back.

“Yes you did” said Strawberry. “We watched Rumors && Reputations at your house, and Foolin’ at mine!”

“Strawberry, I’m sorry” said Orange Kiwi.

“Whatever” said Strawberry, and she walked off.

Strudel walked up to Orange Kiwi. “Why did you start that rumor?” he asked angrily.

“I was just making a prediction” said Orange Kiwi.

“Well it was stupid and wrong” said Strudel.

“I’m sorry” said Orange Kiwi. “I was assuming things”

“Well don’t, ok?” said Strudel. “You almost made the whole school hate me because of you”    And he walked off.

In math, Strawberry && Pancake were paying no attention at all.

“I know what Maxwell’s getting you for your birthday” Pancake whispered.

“What?” Strawberry whispered back.

“Like I’d tell you” said Pancake.

On Friday, it was Strawberry’s birthday party, since her birthday was on Thursday.

The doorbell rang, and Banana went to get the door.   “Hey, Stick!” she said.

Stick came in carrying a present.    “Where should I put this?” he asked.

“Under the Christmas tree” said Pancake.

“No” said Babbleberry. “Idiot will eat it”

“Ok, put it in the front left room on the couch, then” said Pancake.

Banana just stared at that couch, and Idiot jumped up and tried to herd her.

“Idiot!” shouted Banana. “Get down! Go herd Monkeyberry!”

Idiot went to go herd Bert instead.

The doorbell rang again, and Pixie and Aruba dragged in a big package on a wagon.

“What the?” said Strawberry.

As soon as everyone arrived, Pixie shouted “Open this one!”

Strawberry spotted Strudel standing in a corner.
