Chapter One: Cartman goes to the ER and then...
"Hey guys," said Cartman. "Did you see Jackass Number Two?"
"No," said Kyle. "I saw the firehose rodeo, but my mom made me turn it off..."
"I saw all of it," muffled Kenny.
"High five!"
"So did I," said Stan. "But my mom says I shouldn't be watching that crap."
"Dude, I'm gonna try the fire hose rodeo," said Cartman. "I got a cup and loads of protection."
"I'm telling you Cartman, you're gonna get hurt," said Stan.
"Do you think I give a damn?" said Cartman as he climbed on the fire hose.
Then he turned on the fire hose and started riding. Then it went awry and he fell off.
"Cool! Cartman fell off! Serves him right!" said Kyle.
"Shut your damn mouth, Kyle," snapped Stan. "I think he got knocked out."
"I'm gonna call 911," mumbled Kenny. Then he dialed 911.
"911? What's your emergency?"
"I have a friend who fell off a fire hose," mumbled Kenny.
"Sir, please speak a little louder. We can't hear you," said the lady over the phone.
"Goddammit, my friend is hurt!" Then Kenny, frustrated, hung up.
"We're gonna have to rush him to the ER," said Stan. "But we have to ask his mom to drive us. Ms.Cartman?"
"Yes, Stanley?" said Liane Cartman.
"Eric got hurt," said Stan. "We need to rush him to the ER."
So they got into the van, while about most of the time, she was crying and Stan had to drive for since Kyle was being a total ass.
So 2 hours later, Cartman got a room at Hells Pass Hospital. He was still alive.
"Eric? Are you OK, poopsykins?" He finally woke up.
"Yes, mother. I am." Cartman was smiling.
"Your friends are here. Stanley was especially worried about you. Kenny was too."
"We brought you some Cheese Poofs, Cartman," mumbled Kenny.
"Thank you, Kenneth," said Cartman.
"Sure thing," said Kenny.
"Is there anything else you want, Cartman?"
"No thank you, Stanley."
"Can you hold on one minute, Cartman?"
"Of course."
Then Kenny walked with Stan outside the door.
"Dude, something about Cartman isn't right."
"I know."
"I mean, he's being nicer to me and you. Kyle's not even paying respect to him. I mean, Cartman's calling me Stanley and you're being called Kenneth. I guess we're going to have to get used to him being a whole lot nicer to everyone."
"I think your son is ready to go back home Mrs. Cartman," said the doctor. "He can go to school tomorrow."
So will Cartman's empathetic side last... or will he be mean to Kyle like he used to be?
