A few days later, Pixie was sitting on Poser's couch, watching TV with London.
Poser walked in with a bag of popcorn.
"Oh,
Pix, great news" he said.
"What's that?" Pixie asked.
"I got accepted
into MSU" Poser said.
"Michigan State?" Pixie asked.
Poser nodded.
"What
the hell, Poser, you never even told me you applied there!" Pixie shouted. "We were supposed to go to Community College together!"
"Pix,
I wanted to surprise you" Poser said.
"How the hell am I supposed to raise our daughter by
myself because you're all the way in Michigan?" Pixie yelled. "Long distance relationships are HARD, Poser"
She
picked up London, and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Poser asked.
"Home"
Pixie said, carrying London out the door and to her car.
Meanwhile, Strawberry was
on the phone with Buster, and things weren't going good.
"Look, Strawberry, we rushed into the relationship"
Buster was saying. "I think we should stop seeing each other for awhile"
Strawberry sighed. "I get
it" she said. "I'm not meant to have a successful relationship. I'll talk to you later"
She hung up the phone and
called Pixie, who was sitting on a swing in her front yard. Pixie was still pissed off at Poser, and London was taking a nap.
"Hello?"
Pixie answered the phone.
"Hi" said Strawberry. "Buster broke up with me. I'm not meant to have a
boyfriend for very long"
"How long were you and Strudel together?" Pixie asked.
"About
a year and two months" Strawberry said.
"That's a long time" said Pixie.
"I
want a relationship like you & Poser" Strawberry said.
"Don't say that name" said Pixie.
"Why
not?"
"He fucking applied at MSU without asking me" Pixie said. "And he expects me to be HAPPY about
it!"
"Oh, wow" Strawberry said. "Did you guys break up?"
"Not yet" Pixie
said. "Oh, speaking of the devil, there's his car coming into my culdesac. I'll talk to you later, Strawberry"
