Strawberry layed next
to him, as Strudel went on the other side.
“You guys disturb
me” he said, eating some nachos and putting on a Cedar Point sweatshirt.
“I want one of
those” said Muffins.
“Go to a gift
shop” said Strudel.
“Shut up”
whispered Muffins, pointing at Strawberry, who was already sleeping.
“Yes, your majesty”
said Strudel, fiddling with a Top Thrill Dragster keychain.
Muffins rolled his
eyes and laid his head next to Strawberry’s.
“I’m feeling
some residual guilt about leaving the 3 of them in the park” said Orange Kiwi.
“Orange, they’re
fine” said Shady.
The next morning, Strudel
woke up first. He had a text message from Shady.
“Strawberry,
Muffins, wake up” he said. “They left us here on purpose. But they saw police cars coming in the park”
Strawberry & Muffins
got out of each other’s arms.
“Let’s
go” said Strudel. “Everyone’s waiting for us on the beach”
They rushed over by
the Wicked Twister.
“Hold it right
there”
They turned around
and saw 2 cops.
“What do you
3 think you’re doing here?” one of them asked.
“It’s my
fault” said Strudel. “Don’t blame those 2”
“This is a serious
offense” said the other cop.
“I understand
that” said Strudel. “And I take full responsibility”
“Alright, you
2 are free to go” the first cop said to Strawberry & Muffins. “Let this be a warning. You, blondie, put your
hands behind your back” he handcuffed Strudel, as the other cop led Strawberry & Muffins to the exit.
On the way home, everyone
wondered about Strudel.
“What if he has
to go to jail?” asked Waffles.
“He took the
blame!” Shady exclaimed. “That’s not my problem”
Later on, Strudel was
sitting in his room. His mom came into his room.
“Strudel, can
we talk?” she asked.
“Yes, Mother”
Strudel replied. “What would you like?”
“What is up with
you lately?” Pearl asked. “First Poser, then Tom, then your car, now this?”
“Mom-”
Strudel began.
“Not to mention
you taking off to L.A. last summer” Pearl continued.
