Ch. 1 The Big Fight

Tweek POV

Craig had gotten grounded, which wasn't that unusual except for the fact that Cartman had gotten wind of this. Now they were going to fight, Cartman needed to beat someone up and win for once. I guess losing every fight he's ever been in, even one to a girl was starting to hurt his reputation. Tweek pulled at his shirt nervously as he as in his desk staring at the clock. Seeing Craig getting hurt was more than Tweek could handle, he had to do something. He couldn't understand why Craig agreed to the fight all he had to do was walk away from Cartman. What did Cartman have on Craig that was making him do this, Tweek was Craig's best friend and felt utterly useless.

He didn't deserve to be best friends with someone as cool as Craig, especially when he couldn't ever do anything for him. He was always bailing Tweek out of bad situations, from the smallest of things like when Tweek had forgotten his coffee after having a fight with his parents. Craig had ran out and got him so coffee so he wouldn't be freaking out all day. When he tripped and pushed a fifth grader's girlfriend, Craig took the blame and got hit in the face for him. Why did Craig always do these things for him, Tweek pulled at his hair hard ripping some of it out. Oh god, he thought as the bell rang signaling the end school. Cartman walked out smiling at Tweek. Tweek wasn't dumb, sure he was twitchy, paranoid, and clumsy at times but dumb no. He figured it out with just that look. Cartman had something on him and Craig was taking another blow for him. He rushed outside to see everyone forming a circle around Cartman and Craig.

"Kick his ass Craig," someone yelled. "Beat the crap out of that fatass!" another yelled.

"Shut up you damn Jew!" Cartman yelled at Kyle. "I'm gonna beat the crap out of Craig then I'm going to kick your Jew ass!"

"Can we just get this over with?" Craig said in his normal flat monotone voice, not worried at all even though Tweek knew that if he fought back Craig would get grounded. Again, but this time he'd be grounded from Tweek. Tweek always found it strange that even when he was grounded from everything else, he could still visit and hang out with Craig. I guess it's because it gives his parents a more leverage. Gah! Tweek didn't want to be used as leverage against his friend! As Tweek became more lost in thought he didn't even notice when the first punch was thrown. Cartman swung his fat arm at Craig hitting him the face.

"Gah!" Tweek yelled as he ran into the circle confused by his own actions. "Stop don't hurt Craig!" he yelled at Cartman.

"Its okay Tweek," Craig put his hand on his shoulder. "This pussy couldn't hit hard enough to hurt me anyways." Tweek could tell that was a lie as he was already bleeding from a busted lip.

"No Craig I know he's got something on me! That your fighting because of me!" Tweek exclaimed. "You can't let yourself get beat up for me dude! That's way too much pressure!"

Cartman, ignoring Tweek pushed him out of the way getting ready to throw another fist Craig. "I promise I wont hurt your little butt buddy too much Tweek!" He yelled back.

Tweek wasn't quite sure why, but that did it. That remark made Tweek lose it. "Cartman!" He yelled louder than anyone's ever heard Tweek yell before. Cartman turned around to make another snide remark at him. Though before he could get a single word out Tweek hit him hard right in his face. Cartman stumbled over a black eye already starting to form as he collapsed and passed out from the single blow. Tweek was breathing hard, shaking, and twitching more than usual. He felt all of the anger flow out of him slowly. He searched for where Craig had gone and found only his classmates and friends were there, staring at him. Shocked at what they just witnessed. Tweek thought he must have scared Craig away. This wasn't like Tweek after all he'd never yelled like that, never snapped that far.

"Jesus Tweek!" Kyle said breaking the heavy silence that had felt as if it'd been going on for hour at this point. "That has got to be the coolest thing I've seen all year!" it felt weird hearing kyle compliment Tweek like that.

"Damn man, I wish my uncle Jimbo could have seen that punch!" Stan said with an approving smile.

Then suddenly he felt someone touch his hand "Augh!" he screamed panicked by the sudden contact. He pulled his hand away quickly and started crying loudly as hand felt like it was on fire.

"Tweek give me your hand!" Craig said pulling it gently back. Craig hadn't ran away from Tweek's crazy actions. He looked down and saw the first aid box, Craig had left to get bandages. Finally Tweek looked down at his own hand. It was dripping blood, and he couldn't move any of his fingers... This day really was just far too much for him handle.

Tweek suddenly felt so incredibly tired. He just wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep. His hand no longer hurt, but his legs felt weak and he started to fall backwards. Luckily Craig was there to catch him. Craig was always there to catch him whenever he stumbled or fell down. Looking up at Craig, he saw not the cold and emotionless Craig everyone else sees. Instead he saw his friend, who loved and cared about him. Suddenly everything made sense, why he got so upset earlier. Why Craig always calmed he down no matter how bad things got. "You're so perfect." he whispered quietly smiling, before drifting off to into a dreamless sleep.
