“I did?” said Strudel.

“Yeah” said Shady. “And tell Banjo that I AM gonna TRY to forget about late nights playin in the dark”

Strudel laughed. “Alright” he said. “I’ll get right on that” he hung up the phone and went back to Pancake.

“What did Shady tell you to do?” Muffins asked Strudel, who ignored him.

“Hello…..Strudel…..” said Muffins.

“WHAT?!?!?!?” Strudel exploded.

“What did Shady want?” Muffins asked again.

“I told you” said Strudel. “She wanted you to shut your mouth”

“Is that all?” asked Muffins.

“No” said Strudel. “She told me to make out with Pancake”

“What about me?” Muffins asked.

“She said for you to shut your mouth” said Strudel.

“Blah” said Muffins.

“Hey!” Strawberry & Pancake shouted. “Shut up and kiss me!”

“Your wish is my command” Muffins & Strudel said, as they kissed their girls.

The next day, all the cool people went bowling. They saw Matt there, bowling with Pia.

“You’re doing really well, Matt” Pia said softly, cuddling the stuffed bird he had won her from the claw machine.

“Let me work my magic” Monkeyberry said, as Pia stepped up to bowl. “Me tie doughty walker” Monkey sang.

Strudel ran from 2 lanes over and put his hand over Monkey’s mouth.

“Vchi Gchi Cri Mri Dg Dg!” Monkey tried singing.

Pia knocked down 2 pins.

“You jerk” Monkeyberry said, pushing Strudel’s hand away. “It didn’t work because of you”

“Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk!” Strudel belted out.

Monkeyberry punched him in the stomach.

“Ow” he walked back to his lane.

“Go ahead” Matt said to Ramona.

“Um, you haven’t gone since I got here” said Ramona.

“Its ok” said Matt. “Really, it is. You go ahead”

“I wanna bowl, Matt” Pia whined.

“Anyone can bowl” said ChiChi. “That’s why there’s more than one lane. We don’t have to take turns”
