Strawberry & Strudel walked back to Strudel's house. "It's good to be home" said Strudel. "I really missed you, Strawberry"
They walked into the house, and Strudel set down his suitcase that he had been carrying.

"Aww man" said Potter. "You're in trouble now"

"Shut up, Potter" said Strudel.

"Mom called the cops on you" Potter continued. "I'm telling mom now. Mom!" he called. "The birthday boy is back!"

Pearl came rushing down the stairs. "Where were you?" she asked, hugging Strudel.

"Nowhere" Strudel replied.

Meanwhile, Pancake was at Lemonade's house. "I told you they went to L.A." said Lemonade.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" said Pancake. "So I was wrong. Who cares?"

Lemonade got a text message. "It's from Fiona" she said.

"Read it" said Pancake.

Lemonade accepted the text message and read it out loud. "We thought you were cool. You're just a skank"

"Haha" said Pancake. "SHE calls YOU a skank?"

Lemonade texted Fiona back. "Go to hell.... and visit your boyfriend"

Later on that day, Pancake had a party at her house for Strudel.

"Strudel!" Tamyra called. "I've gotta talk to you!"

Strudel came into the kitchen with Tamyra. "I'm sorry, Tamyra" he was saying. "But no. I can't"

"Can't what?" asked Pancake.

"Move to Michigan" said Tamyra. "I'm moving tomorrow"

"I'll visit you, okay?" said Strudel.

"Fine" said Tamyra. "But I have to go now"

"Alright, bye Tamyra" said Pancake.

"Bye, I'll miss you guys" said Tamyra, and she left.

"Strudel!" Gepetto ran up to Strudel. "We would be on stage now!"

"That's nice" said Strudel. "Surprisingly I don't care"

"Look!" Ringo called from the family room. "You guys are on TV!"

Everyone rushed into the room.
A lady was talking on TV. "The TaTa's will be on tour with the Flaming Hot Dogs all year" she said. "We have the 4 members here now. Andrew, Laura, Brenda (guy) and Jessica."

"Posers!" shouted Strudel.

"Here's a recap of their performance tonight" the lady on TV said.

It showed the poser band doing a very bad rendition of Beverly Hills.

Ringo sat down next to Waffles. "You still have that crazy boyfriend?" he asked.

"Yes" said Waffles, annoyed.

"Doesn't look like it" said Ringo.

"He wasn't invited" said Waffles.

"Well you were" said Ringo. "And so was I"

"Go away, Ringo" said Waffles.

"Ringo, leave her alone" said Strudel.

"Oh, you're just jealous cuz you don't have her anymore" said Ringo.

"Shut up, Ringo" Strudel said. "Yeah, I kissed her, but it didn't mean anything!"

Waffles got up and went into the other room.
Kiwi followed. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"He said it didn't mean anything" said Waffles.

"Well, maybe it did" said Kiwi. "He just didn't wanna say it in front of Strawberry"

Meanwhile, Strudel & Ringo were fighting. "Man, you always ruin everything!" said Strudel.

"I was trying to get myself a girl!" Ringo shouted back.

"I don't care" said Strudel. "It's my birthday, so shut up"

"Man, what did I even do?" asked Ringo.

"You made me mad, that's what" said Strudel. "Waffles is my friend, and she doesn't want you"

"Then why would she have wanted you?" asked Ringo.
