"Thanks" said Strudel. "Strawberry, I'm sorry"
Strawberry said nothing.
"Can we talk?" Strudel asked. "Please?"
"Okay" said Strawberry, as they walked to the gazebo. "Where were you?" she asked.
"L.A." said Strudel. "With the Flaming Hot Dogs" he said, fingering quotes around the words 'Flaming Hot Dogs'.
"Why did you come back?" Strawberry asked quietly.
"This Elizabeth girl kept hitting on me" said Strudel. "She needed plastic surgery. She was pretty hideous"
Strawberry waited for what she wanted to hear.
Strudel continued. "Plus, their band sucked"
"Oh" said Strawberry, nonchalantly.
"And I couldn't live without you" Strudel finished.
Strawberry smiled. That's what she wanted to hear.
Meanwhile, Doreen and Fiona were yelling at Lemonade. "We told you NOT to get your stupid friends involved in this!" Doreen shouted.
"Don't yell at her like that" Gepetto said.
"Excuse me?" said Doreen. "Mr. I'm gonna run off to California without telling my loser girlfriend just because my loser friend cheated on his loser girlfriend with HER loser friend?"
"Shut up, Doreen" said Lemonade. "Just shut your TRAMP hole, okay?"
"Your idiotic boyfriend MURDERED my boyfriend!" Fiona shouted.
"Has anyone seen Pia this summer?" Monkey asked randomly.
"You know what, no!" said ChiChi. "I wonder where she is"
"Shut up" said Doreen. "Fiona was talking"
Waffles had had enough, so she decided to go see what Strawberry was doing. She walked to the gazebo to see Strawberry and Strudel sitting together, her head buried in his chest.
Strudel looked up. "Hey, Waffles" he said, as Strawberry looked up and kissed Strudel when she saw Waffles.
"Hi" Waffles replied. "Strawberry, it's okay. I won't kiss him" she giggled. "Happy birthday, Strudel"
"Thanks" said Strudel.
Meanwhile, Fiona was still yelling. "You made him die! And now I know that it wasn't Bats, it was YOU!"
"Shut up, Fiona" said Lemonade. "I'm going home. Good job girls"
"Good job?" said Doreen. "GOOD JOB?"
"C'mon, Lem" said Gepetto, and everyone headed home, passing through the gazebo.
Waffles sat down across from Strawberry & Strudel. Smog passed through the gazebo. "Hey, Smog" said Waffles.
"Hey" said Smog.
"Let's leave these two lovebirds alone" Strudel said to Strawberry, laughing.
