It should be: "Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl." (That is, they just became acquainted with her.)

The first option would only be correct in a command type of construction:

"Albert and Bernard, (stop fighting with Cheryl and) just become friends with Cheryl!"

Anonymous"Albert and Bernard, (stop fighting with Cheryl and) just become friends with Cheryl!"
That doesn't really work, even in the imperative.

Say: " ... just be friends with Cheryl."
