Shawn's POV
later in the day, I went to Cory's house. I knocked on the door and his dad opened it. "Hi, I um, I just wanted to let you know that, you don't have to worry about me, having a drink anymore, but if you want me to stay away from Cory, because of all the other idiot stuff I do. I understand." I sighed. He smiled. "Come on in." He said. "You know, I wouldn't want two friends to be kept apart. When I said that I was under the influence of alcohol." He said. "You were drunk too?" I asked, confused. "No, YOU were, and so was Cory, and I didn't like seeing you that way." He said. "Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus." He nodded. "So when can Cory come out and play?" I asked. "Can I dad, huh huh, can I?" Cory jumped in from the stairs and we all laughed. "What month is it?" His dad asked. "It's still November." Cory responded. Mr Matthews shrugged, "Sorry Shawn, maybe next time you won't be so easily influenced by your ROTTEN friends." He said and pointed at Cory. "Yeah well, he's the only one I got." I smiled. "Cherry still hasn't called back yet?" "No, she won't return my messages. I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'." I laughed. "Yeah, I've uh, I've got a lot of apologizing to do."
*next morning in class* [feenys still subbing]
I walked up to the desk and held an apple up to Feeny. "An apple? Are you kidding me?" He asked. "What I did in class yesterday was so outta line, if you won't accept my apology, then I- I want you to have this $12." I said pulling 12 bucks out of my pocket. "The only thing of value for me, Mr Hunter, is to know that you're alright. Are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah, yeah I'm alright. My brother and I, decided to talk to this guy, who's gonna help us understand how to deal with this." I said. "Good for you Shawn, that's the right thing to do." He responded.

Cherry's POV
I stood at the door of our class and saw Shawn apologizing to Feeny. Then he turned around and saw Topanga. He almost started talking but T interrupted him. "I know you're sorry, I got the card and the fruit basket, it was missing an apple by the way." She smiled. "Right." Mr Feeny gave him the apple off the desk and he gave it to Topanga. She held out her cheek and he kissed it. He then walked and saw Cory. "How ya doin?" He asked. "Hey, wanna hang out two weeks from Thursday?" Cory asked him. "I'll be there." Shawn smiled. As soon as I was about to fully walk in, Shawn stopped me. "Hi." He said. "Hi." I said back. "I don't like me when I drink either." He sighed contently. "Good, because I sure like you when you don't." I responded and smiled at him. He pulled me close and kissed my forehead. We sat down and it was a good day.
