Welcome to my new story! A few people might notice I got rid of the first chapter and that's cause I did. I decided to the new readers I want everything to be a mystery, something you figure out along with the characters. That scene will come up again just later on, also tell me who you want to see in this story! I want to try to make sure everyone will be shown here so let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Chapter 1: Going down to South Park

South Park was cold.

Living in warm places most of your life Leopold was not for actual cold weather no matter what his clothes were. Growing up in L.A. the sudden shift was something he didn't understand, and why did they move to such a cold place? That just didn't seem very fair to him... He was shivering as he rubbed his arms walking threw the airport with his mother and father who were hurrying threw not stopping to talk to anyone or anything. Leo could only hope that the walk would warm him up, the again nothing prepared him for what happened the moment they stepped outside.

"Mom what is that stuff?" He said confused, the moment he went to touch some it evaporated before he got his hand within an inch of it. He blinked and pulled his hand back looking at it confused as he looked back to his parents who looked started. "What...?" He didn't get to say anymore before his mother grabbed him and walked off quickly making him stumble after her trying to make sure he didn't fall. "H-hey mom wait!" He looked back for a moment and blinked at the circles of wet cement following them before looking down and seeing that they were coming from his feet. The white stuff melted around him... why? He didn't really get a chance to think about it before they were off in a cab and driving towards their new home. His parents were talking, he looked up from the window with a small frown, it kept fogging up real easily, it was annoying cause that didn't happen in L.A. unless it was really cold. He hoped it wasn't always like that here.

"Okay we need to shovel all the snow out of the driveway and sidewalk outside our house. People won't think much we just moved here." Linda said as Richard nodded to each other leaving Leo in the dark. He frowned as he crossed his arms in thought, he wasn't suppose to interrupt his parents but what on earth was snow? Was that the white stuff that vanished when you stepped near it? Why not just walk around and get rid of it the easy way? Man his parents were strange sometimes.

"Right, we'll also need to get Leo some boots, his shoes aren't exactly waterproof." Richard said as Linda sighed making Leo blink at them, why did they seem annoyed by that? Well he supposed that was a silly question considering they were moving. Now wasn't the time to go out and just buy stuff when they had to be unpacking! He smiled and pulled on his mothers shirt making her look down.

"It's okay mom! I don't need new shoes right now lets just see our new home!" He put on his best smile as his mother smiled back and gently ran a finger threw his hair.

"If you're sure Leo... then we can all unpack first before moving out to shop for anything." He nodded as his father rolled his eyes but seemed grateful they could get settled down first before jumping into doing anything that involved the public. "My little boy, always so thoughtful." She said happily playing with his poof ball not caring that her hands were turning red from the heat he was giving off, he was simply warming himself up.

Their house was much taller then Stephen's sisters. A two story and a basement. Linda and Richard weren't completely sure about having such a big house, it was just the three of them here. But Leo was so excited at how big the place was they just smiled and went along with it chuckling.

Maybe they could make this house a home if they truly tried, and they would. To make sure he was safe.

It was a small mountain town. What was the worst that could happen?

The Broflovski's were the first to visit them once they had completely moved in their few belongings. Thankfully the house was mostly already furnished so they wouldn't have to go out and but tons of furniture. Shelia and Gerald were a rather nice couple and they had two sons, Ike and Kyle.

Ike was still a bit young and didn't leave his brothers side, it was rather cute to Linda as they all talked to each on the couch.

"So do you have any kids?" Shelia asked after a few minutes of talking with Linda who blinked and glanced over to the other boys before smiling and nodding.

"Well yes actually, his name is Leopold, he's about Kyle's age to be honest. He's upstairs organizing his room." She blinked as Kyle made a face and spoke up.

"Leopold? That's an old persons name!" Linda was taken back as Shelia gasp and pulled on his hat.

"You behave yourself Kyle! That is no way to talk to someone's mother!" He whined an apology and fixed up his hat before he fell off his head anymore as Linda watched and took a breath.

"W-well he goes by Leo a lot so if you want he wouldn't mind being called that as well." She put her hands on her lap to keep them from fidgeting, why was she so nervous? These were normal, nice people that wanted to get to know her family. Her normal family, she was being rude, Shelia started to talk again but she couldn't bring herself to focus on it very well until she heard steps coming down the stairs and looked over. "Oh- oh uh Kyle, why don't you say hi to him? He's upstairs in the room to the very back." She smiled as sweet as she could as the boy just looked over before shrugging and jumping down going to find the boy Ike following close after. She let out a breath as Shelia placed a hand over hers making her jump for a moment.

"You're stressed from the new town huh?" She had a thoughtful look in her eyes as Linda looked at her and let out a laugh messing with her hair.

"Oh you have no idea Shelia." She said as the women laughed and pulled her hand back.

"Trust me the move was not easy for us at all either, you get use to the place fast. It's quite a nice town when you get to know a few people trust me." She said with a knowing look. Linda just smiled and shook her head.

"Well you seem to know best, I think I'll do just that after we all get settled down." The pair continued to talk happily as Kyle took Ike and went to the very last room before opening it and looking inside with a curious look. He wondered what the new kid was like, he wasn't gonna be better then his super best friend but maybe the others would like him or something. Kyle blinked at seeing a plain blue room with light colors and one contrast wall. The guy had a desk, a bed and a few toys shoved in a box in the corner. He really didn't have much did he? Kyle looked over at the boy halfway in the closet humming something he didn't know and walked over.

"Hi there." He said blinking in surprise as the boy jumped with a yelp and spun around, which lead him to trip and fall into his closet groaning slightly as his leg twitched from the sudden movement. Kyle hurried over and leaned over him in concern. "Dude are you alright? Sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that!" Bright blue eyes looked at him in surprise as the boy sat up, he had a blue jacket on and his hair cut in a weird style, only at the top of his head for some reason. Made him want to call the kid poof poof or something for some reason.

"O-Oh uh... h-hi there! Sorry I didn't hear you open the door." He said awkwardly as Kyle offered him a hand up. He took it thankfully and rubbed his head looking embarrassed. "That wasn't the best first im-mpresion huh? Kyle smiled slightly and shook his head.

"No it really wasn't but who cares? I'm Kyle Broflovski, and this is my brother Ike. My mom brought us over to meet the new neighbors." Leo blinked and smiled at him happily.

"Alright, my name is Leopold Stotch! But just call me Leo, my name is a mouthful I know." Kyle chuckled, well the kid had a sense of humor at least.

"Yeah that's what I thought, Leo sounds good but something is still missing. I'm sure we'll get you a proper name in the town soon." He said humming as Leo blinked in confusion not quite sure what he meant. Was Leo not good enough or something? His thoughts were cut off anyways as Kyle kept talking "Maybe tomorrow I can bring over my friends and we can all get to know each other. You seem decent enough to hang out with."

Leo had to say, this seems like a pretty tough crowd to please, but he just went along with it. New friends were always good right?

"S-Sure! I think that would be great, I love making new friends!" he said rocking back and forth on his feet as Kyle nodded and smiled.

"It's decided then! See you tomorrow!" He left after that leaving Leo to blink in surprise and look at the door and blink again.

"S-see you tomorrow?" He said confused before scratching his head and going back to organize his room. Kyle ran downstairs with Ike heading for the door.

"Mom! I'm gonna go hang out with Stan! We're all gonna meet up with Leo tomorrow bye!" He left after that as Shelia huffed.

"That boy with his best friend... what to do with them?" Linda looked over from her cup of tea and tilted her head

"Honestly dear? No idea. Kids are something I'm still working on." They both looked at each other and laughed, they could be good friends.

The next day Leo was getting ready to meet the new kids as he watched his dad shovel the snow stuff away from the front yard again. Maybe you needed a shovel to touch it and that's why he couldn't. He looked over to a bush with some and reached over frowning as it turned into water and dripped off the leaves, geeze snow was so weird.

"Hey Leo!" A voice called making him blink and look over before smiling and waving at Kyle, he was walking with three other boys. A slightly bigger boy with a red jacket, a boy about his size with a brown one and one other person covered in an orange parka. He couldn't tell if that was a boy or girl, maybe he should have asked about who was meeting earlier so he could be polite. Leo stood up and moved down the driveway to meet them with a smile.

"Hi Kyle!" He looked over to the others who were watching him closely "H-hello to you all as well!" He hoped he looked okay from how the others were looking at him, the boy in the red jacket spoke up first.

"What's wrong with your voice?" Leo blinked as Kyle snapped over to him.

"E-eh?"

"Shut up fat boy! It's called an accent he's not from here! You know, that's why they moved in?" Kyle hissed as Cartmen glared and huffed at him

"I was just wondering cause he sounds like some kind of hippie!" The boy in the brown jacket stepped in after that looking unamused.

"Cartmen just do us a favor and shut up before you scare him with your nonsense." He looked over at the very confused Leo who blinked and looked at the boy as he smiled "My name is Stan, you've already met my best friend Kyle, the fat one is Eric but we just call him Cartmen. And he's Kenny." The boy- Stan said as Kenny waved and Cartmen just rolled his eyes "Don't let him get to you he's always like that." Stan said assuring Leo who just fiddled with his hands as he tried to smile again.

"W-well alright then. My name is Leopold, but you can call me-" he was cut off again making him flinch by Cartmen who looked appalled.

"Leopold? What kind of stupid name is that?!" Leo's mouth dropped open in surprise as Kyle and Stan turned to Cartmen about to say something as he continued "Geeze Kyle why are you trying to get us to meet such a weirdo? I mean just his name should have been enough to let you know to avoid him!" Leo felt hurt but tried not to show it as he rubbed his knuckles together as he closed his mouth only for it to turn into a frown. Kenny said something he didn't quite catch as Cartmen snapped over before huffing and pointed to another way "You know what? Screw you guys! I'm going home." he said before walking off leaving the other three with Leo who swallowed.

"Uh... w-what just happened?" He said as the others looked over and Kyle stepped up.

"Don't worry, Cartmen always does that kind of thing. he's a jackass." He said plainly as Leo looked at him.

"T-that's a bad word!" He said as the others looked at him with raised eyebrows

"Well you're gonna get use to it in this town trust us." Stan said shaking his head as Kyle shrugged.

"I suppose it is your first week. Say are you going to be starting school with us?" Leo looked over and nodded.

"Y-yeah I'm heading into the forth grade." Stan smiled at that.

"Hey we are too!" Kenny said something again as the other two laughed and Stan hummed

"Well it was nice to meet you Leo, maybe we can talk some more later. Lets go get some ice cream Kyle." He said as Kyle followed off with a smile as they walked down the street leaving Leo and Kenny. Neither spoke up as the silence started to go awkward. Leo swallowed and looked at the boy, he wouldn't stop watching him for some reason.

"U-Uh... thanks for coming to meet me Kenny, it's nice to know a few of the kids here even if they don't seem to like me very much." He said from the feelings he just got. Kenny shook his head and said something again, at Leo's confused face he sighed and slightly pulled down his parka so his voice wasn't muffled.

"It was no problem, and don't worry about the others. Kyle and Stan like each other more then anyone else and Cartmen is Cartmen." Leo blinked at such a high voice but just smiled deciding it was nice. It must fit him in some way.

"Well if you're sure. I'll take your word for it." Leo hummed sticking out a hand with a smile "Nice to meet you Kenny." The boy blinked and took his hand to shake it.

"Nice to meet you too."

Now, Kenny was never a person who took things for granted, living in poverty did that to a person. Considering the fact he died nearly every day among numerous other things also made sure he was a very cautious person. Over the years he did figure a few things out with not being able to die for some reason.

One was that his pain tolerance increased a lot, not enough to help when he did die but enough that every day life was pretty decent until that point. Another was that he was cold a lot, not in the way that he needed a jacket or anything, to every one else he was actually rather warm. He was cold inside his chest, and the cold got worse until he finally died. Sometimes he didn't feel that chill for a few days but once it was there he knew it was coming sooner or later, even though he always tried to stop it nothing every worked.

So the best thing he could do was always live with it right? Well that was right.

Then the new kid moved in, Leopold, he had a weird haircut, and his accent was strangely southern but he didn't look it any way. Anything new in south park would catch his interest but something felt different this time. His eyes had a fire in them that only he seemed to be able to see, and he wasn't sure why. No one else's eyes seemed like that in a strange way.

So he decided to take the handshake the boy was offering him, maybe that's how he could start to figure it out.

What he didn't expect was the chill in his chest to suddenly be set ablaze and vanish leaving him feeling normal for once. Kenny was thankful for his park as his face turned into surprise and shock and thankfully un-noticeable to an untrained eye. That had...

That had never happened before.

He could never get rid of the chill before.

So what made this different? What made it suddenly vanish as if whatever it was had been set aflame leaving him untouched? He didn't understand...

But he did know one thing.

Looking at the boy in front of him looking confused as to why he had gone so quite.

It must have had something to do with him, so Kenny had to keep him around to see if it really had to do with this boy.

"Say Leo, if you ever want to hang out I'm open. Always up to making close friends." A lie but a needed one at the moment. Right now he had to test this cause if it was right...

Maybe this was the way out of the hell his life was nearly every day, and with Leo's excited smile maybe something could work from this.

He had no idea what would truly be coming to him after saying that.
