A/N: This is my third story in the series "The Other Boys of South Park". I strongly recommend reading the previous story in the series,Inspector Butters and the Case of the Stolen Sushi, before starting this one, as there will be references to things that happened that you will not understand without reading it, and they tie directly into each other. You may also want to read my first story, North Park, as there will likely be references to that too. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Craig's Dream
Kids crowded around the table in the cafeteria where Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Clyde, Token, Butters, and Craig all sat. The crowd wanted to tell Craig how much fun his party was. After a few minutes, he told them all to leave so he could eat.
"Finally, they're gone." Cartman said annoyed.
"You're just jealous that everyone thinks Craig is cool and not you." Kyle said.
"Maybe he should go to jelly school." Wendy said as she walked by.
"Fuck you Wendy. I'm not jealous. I could throw a way better party."
"I'd like to see you try. Craig's party was badass." Stan said.
"Oh yeah? Maybe I will!"
"There's no way it will be better." Clyde said.
"Yes it will Clyde. I'll bet you five bucks its better than Craig's shitty party."
"Ok." Cartman stormed off to think up a plan for his party. "No one is going to show up anyway." Clyde said.
"Craig, you ok? You've been acting weird all day." Kyle asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just have some stuff going on." Craig got up and walked to the bathroom.
"Hey f-fellas." Jimmy said, approaching the table.
"How's the festival going?" Token asked.
"G-g-great. We almost have everything r-ready."
"Just don't make fun of German people's jokes again." Stan added.
"Speaking of G-German jokes, Funnybot is going to be c-coming."
"Awesome! He's hilarious." Kyle replied.
"Who else is coming?" Clyde asked.
"Tyler Perry, Adam Sandler, and Eddie Murphy are also doing comedy."
"Tyler Perry? Cool!" Token said.
"And we have some big bands coming too."
"Who?" Stan asked.
"It's a s-surprise. Gotta run fellas. T-Timmy is waiting for me."
...
Craig splashed water on his face from the sink. His nightmare last night kept him awake all night, thinking. 'Why would I have a dream like that?' he thought to himself. He tried to get his mind off it, but he just couldn't move on. He had to act on it. He dried his face and put his hat back on. He took a deep breath and went back to the cafeteria.
...
In the art room, Timmy and Jimmy were working on signs and banners to hang at the festival. Friday was only four days away, and they had to get the decorations ready by Thursday to be hung.
"We're going to n-need to get more help. The two of us c-c-can't do this alone." Jimmy said.
"Timmy!"
"I know! We can ask my h-homies the Crips for help. Come on Timmy, we don't have much time left."
...
Craig stood in the doorway and looked over to the girls' table. He scanned the table until he found who he was looking for. Talking to Bebe was the red-haired girl he dreamt about. He had to talk to her so he could get his mind clear. Craig began to slowly trudge over to the table.
"Hey, Red."
"Yeah?" She said, turning to him.
"Can I, uh, talk to you?"
"Sure." She got up and followed him into the hallway. "What's up?" Craig explained to her that he had a dream about the two of them together. Craig opening up to her caught her off guard. She had always thought of him as quiet and emotionless.
"I don't know what the dream means, but I felt like I had to say something to you." Red smiled and stepped closer to him. She kissed him on the cheek and walked back into the cafeteria. Deep down, she had a crush on him too. She always thought he was cute, and after they worked together to take care of their egg, it went beyond that. She never got the courage to ask him, because she didn't think he liked her.
Red sat back down at her table.
"Well? What was that about?" Bebe asked.
"Nothing." Red replied with a smile. The girls all knew about her crush on Craig, but she didn't know they knew. Wendy noticed Craig come back in with a smile on his face too. Bebe noticed too. The two laughed to themselves, figuring out what had happened.
"It was something. Craig is smiling." Bebe finally said. The girls all turned to look for themselves. They then turned to Red.
"Ok fine. He said he had a dream about me and was confused about it. Then I kissed him." The girls all ooohed.
...
Craig sat back down and his table. The guys didn't seem to care or notice.
"You like Red, huh?" Token said.
"What? No I don't." Craig said.
"Then why did she just kiss you in the hallway. And why are you so happy?" Stan asked. They had looked out to see what he was doing, and saw her kiss him.
"Uh."
"Haha, Craig is in love with Red." Clyde joked.
"Craig getting that red bush." Kenny joked.
"No! Not bush!" Butters ran off, remembering what's under bush.
"The hell's wrong with Butters?" Stan asked.
"Who the hell knows? Anyway, you going to ask her out Craig? I think you two would make a good couple." Kyle said.
"I don't know." Craig replied.
"You should. Then you can double date with me and Britney at the festival, if I can find her." Clyde said.
"I don't know." The bell rang, and the students began to head back to class.
...
Cartman was already in the classroom, still pissed off. The rest of the class joined him. Everyone took their seats and waited for Mr. Garrison.
"How's the party going, fatass?" Stan asked.
"It's gonna be better than Craig's. Where is Craig?" Cartman looked at Craig's usual seat and found one of the girls sitting there instead. He looked to the other side of the room to find him sitting next to Red. "The fuck's Craig doing over there?"
"Long story." Stan said. Mr. Garrison finally came in to start class.
...
"P-Principal Victoria, me and T-Timmy need to leave school early." Jimmy said.
"What for?" she asked.
"You see, we have this big f-festival on Friday, and we need to get r-ready."
"Can't it wait until after school though?"
"No. We need to f-f-find my homies before it gets dark."
"Fine, just let me tell your parents." Principal Victoria called Jimmy and Timmy's parents to tell them and let the boys go. They boarded the bus to Denver to find their fellow Crips.
