“So how was Strudel in bed?” Strawberry asked. “I mean, our relationship never got that intimate. I guess I wasn`t the one.”

“And you think I was?” said Pancake. “Strudel doesn`t know what he wants”

“True” said Strawberry. “I haven`t seen him all summer”

“He`s probably moping still because Pixie chose Poser over him” said Pancake.

“Wow, do you STILL hate Strudel?” Strawberry asked.

“Just as I ALWAYS will” said Pancake.

The next day, Quaker told Cherry about what Ringo had said.

“Cherry, will you talk to him for me, please?” Quaker asked.

“Sure, I guess” said Cherry.

She walked over to Ringo`s house, and rang the doorbell.

“Hey, Cherry” Ringo said. “I was just playing Super Mario Brothers on my old Super Nintendo”

“Um, awsome” said Cherry.

“So what brings you here this fine day?” asked Ringo.

“I`m here to talk to you about how rude it was what you said to Quaker” said Cherry.

“Oh, about her & Lanky?” asked Ringo.

Cherry nodded.

“Are you racist or something?” she said.

“No way” said Ringo. “I`ve got plenty of black friends. But interracial FRIENDships are fine, just not interracial RELATIONships”

“That`s a load of crap” said Cherry.

“Look” said Ringo. “Do you really want your best friend dating your white ex`s black brother?”

“I don`t care” said Cherry. “As long as they`re happy”

“You know Gepetto was once very lucky” said Ringo. “Because he got to date you”
