Tweek's Rise to the Track-Chapter 1: Laguna Seca
It was a normal day in South Park. The kids just get up and head to school, but something was amiss. After the start of the class, Mr. Garrison suspected that Craig and Tweek are missing. Stan was also missing, but then, Principal Victoria told him he took an early leave..
"Class, where are Craig and Tweek?" He asked. "They went to California a week ago, Mr. Garrison." Clyde answered. "California? Why would they go there? Are they up to something again?" Garrison responded. "N-no, s-sir, they are r-r-racing in M-m-monterey. T-they g-got a s-scheduled race t-there." Jimmy answered.
"Ah well, I guess I'll have to mark them absent then." Garrison said and wrote on his attendance sheet, and marked them absent. Kyle asked Clyde and Jimmy, aside from the scheduled race, "What racetrack will those two race in? I swear, I know Craig has done this before, but Tweek, its the first time I've seen him do this."
"T-the b-boys are r-r-racing in L-Laguna.. S-seca. Y-you know, w-with the c-c-c-corkscrew in it." Jimmy answered. "Laguna Seca? Are you serious? That damn corkscrew turn s gonna kill Tweek!" Kyle said, concerned about Tweek. "Don t worry, Kyle. It won't end up like that, right.. Clyde?" Token said. "Y-yeah. Sorta. Just chill and let the two do their thing."
Then, Kenny noticed that Stan is gone too. "Mmmph, mmph, mph mph!" (Kyle, Stan isn't here too!) He muttered. "What? Stan too? Ah well, I guess there's nothing bad they could do at Laguna Seca.." Kyle replied. At that time, Cartman overheard the convo. "Hah, they ll probably crash." He said, mocking them. "Shut up, fatass! They won t even try crashing into each other!" Kyle said in disgust. "Oh yeah? What makes you say that, you Jew fucktard?" Cartman fought back.
"Oh boy, those three are racing in Laguna Seca and they didn't tell us? If they did race, who s gonna win? But what if.. they crash? Oh hamburgers!" Butters panicked. "Look, they won t crash.. well, maybe except for Tweek.. he s still a rookie to this." Kyle said to him. "B-but, racing is dangerous! Those three could get hurt!" Butters even showed concern. Kyle, not taking any more of this, sighed.
"Wendy, did you hear that? The rumors are true, those three are racecar drivers!" Bebe said, joining along. "Yeah.. but, Stan.. he didn't tell me he would participate.." Wendy said. "I think he ll win! So, what are you gonna do then if he does win, Wendy?" Bebe asked jokingly. "Ugh, shut up, Bebe! Its as if he can stand a chance against Craig.." Wendy said.
Mr. Garrison heard everyone talking about the three, and had to stop them since its about to get out of hand. "Alright class, just calm down. I'm sure they ll be fine. Well, minus that corkscrew turn.. so let s just continue to our lesson, shall we?" He said and the class stopped talking and continued on to the lessons.
And now we go to Laguna Seca to see the boys race along with some other racers.
"Oh man, oh man.. this is too much pressure! I've done racing before, but not in this track! Agh!" Tweek said, behind the wheel of a Toyota Supra. Craig, who, in turn, is behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper, sighed because he is sure to win, obviously. He is on pole position since of course, he got the fastest time during qualifying. Tweek was at last place.
Every time Tweek races in a new course, he gets baffled and loses focus every time he tries to go through it for the first time. Worse, he keeps crashing at the corkscrew turn, which is the cause why he is last place, and proves why he's still a rookie.
When the starting flag is raised, everyone in the lineup is readying themselves for the race. It would last 10 laps, and a prize of $10,000 is given to the first place racer. Craig would take the prize for sure.
After the green flag finally got waved in front of the racers, all of them rushed quickly throughout the course. However, Tweek is approaching slower that the rest of the pack.
Luckily, Tweek didn't cause any problems, especially on the corkscrew turn, because he was too slow. The only problem is the other racers lapping him during the race, because he could go out of control at any moment. This lasted on for 8 laps.
On Craig's final lap, he is already far ahead from the pack and is sure to get the grand prize. And then.. it happened.
As Craig approached the corkscrew turn, and overtook Tweek before doing so, by surprise, Tweek tailgated him and rammed Craig before the turn. The impact of the crash is so powerful that it forced Craig to fail the turn and crash to a wheel wall, and then to a concrete barrier. His Viper got totaled, and the crash even broke his legs and his left arm.
Tweek was also affected by the impact. The front area of his Supra is severely damaged. But what s worse is the engine completely obliterated during the crash. Luckily, he only suffered bruises since the airbags activated when he crashed. Both cars were, luckily, on the sand that surrounded the track, but this didn t stop a yellow flag to delay the race.
Tweek knew that he crashed into Craig, so with no hesitation, he gets out from his wrecked Supra and tries to assist Craig. "Craig! Craig! I m sorry, I m sorry, I m sorry! Hang on man, I'll get you out of here! Agh!" He said, rushing to him. Craig was unconscious, but he is breathing. Tweek opens the door of Craig s Viper to let him out.
He slowly-and carefully carries him out from the Viper's interior. He later put him into the sand flat as he waits for help to arrive.
An ambulance came in and with the help of the fellow race marshals of the course, carefully lifted Craig to the ambulance. As Tweek looked at him, he had nothing to say but blame himself. "I-I m sorry Craig.. I m really.. really sorry.. I shouldn't have done that.." He said, weeping. He had to ride with Craig to the hospital too.
As a result, they are out of the race once their cars are removed from the track, and another racer took the prize.
Tweek later looked at the podium, and was shocked to see who won. "S-Stan? How did he even participate? Agh! I don't know how! Its too much pressure! He said, looking at Stan who won the grand prize." His car, a Mitsubishi Lancer E9, is parked in the winner s circle.
Stan Marsh was actually involved in the race. Yesterday, after class, Stan somehow managed to tell Principal Victoria personally about the race and why he needed to go there. Of course, he needed Randy and Sharon's permission. And those two allowed him to do so, and sent in a letter that made her let Stan participate in the race in Monterey, California. He didn't tell Kyle and Kenny due to the fact they would stop him from participating in the race. Cartman, of course, he knew that he won't give a damn about it.
The two were forced to stay in Hell's Pass Hospital, and the trip was really long.
No one knows for sure what will happen to Craig or Tweek now..

(fun fact is that I had to look up for a good racetrack that should be a perfect venue for the race here)
