"Stan! Stan, wake up right now." Kyle hissed into the sleeping teen's ear. After Kyle had begun to shake Stan he slowly opened his eyes. "Kyle?"

"What time is it?" He mumbled slowly sitting up, trying to untangle himself from the mess of blankets him and Kyle had laid out earlier. They were currently sleeping over at the McCormick's house and since there wasn't enough beds the two offered to sleep on the floor.

"Listen, I have to pee." Kyle announced urgently, still shaking Stan.

"You know where the bathroom is, we've been here a million times Kyle." The redhead bit his lip and shook his head. "What's wrong?"

"There's something in the bathroom. You gotta get it out!" Stan blinked but carefully stood up.

"You woke up to get something out of the bathroom for you?" He asked, tilting his head. "What like a spider?"

"No! It's huge, it's like a…possum or something just come look!" Stan sighed but allowed himself to be drug out of his cozy blankets and into the dingy bathroom. "It's over there in the corner."

Kyle cowered behind his taller friend while he fumbled for the light switch "I don't see what the big deal is Kyle. It's probably just a mouse, you know how-"

Stan stopped in mid speech while Kyle peered over his shoulder at the rodent. "What…the fuck is that?"

"I don't' know! Kill it." Kyle whined, still needing to use the restroom.

"D-Dude that thing is the size of my head! I'm not going near it!" It appeared to be an abnormally large rat, about the size of the size of a grown cat. "Holy shit…it's looking at us."

"Stan I'm scared!" Kyle said, not caring who he possibly woke up anymore.

"Damn it! Go Kyle!" Stan yelled shoving Kyle out of the bathroom doorway and slamming the door, that barley hung on the hinges as it is, behind him.

After a long moment of staring into each other's equally horrified faces Kyle said,

"I still have to pee…" Stan looked at his friend as if he had grown a second head. "It's not like it's going to go away!"

"Kyle we just encountered a rat the size of a pumpkin and all you can think about is peeing?"


"Are you done yet?" Stan hissed as Kyle pulled up his pajama bottoms. The night air was giving him chills.

"Yes…but now I'm wondering if I really want to go back inside. That thing is still there you know."

"As long as I'm around it won't get you."Stan said throwing an arm over the redheads shoulder as they quietly crept back into the house.

"Aw, you gonna protect me?" Once they finally made it back to Kenny's room, Stan flopped down on the pallet of blankets and pulled Kyle down with him.

"No, you can run faster."
