It was about 5 in the afternoon at this point and the guys are out playing basketball. As they were playing, Stan started to dose off a little, for he was going through a bit of a rough patch with Wendy lately. What has been bothering Stan is that he and Wendy haven't been talking a lot lately and it has been a bit of a concern. It's not that anything bad happened, but it's just that he feels like she is losing interest in him, but those are just feelings not facts, so he does his best to try to ignore these feelings and stick through it. And as he carries this weight on their shoulders, his friends are again in another heated argument.
"Dude, Heidi Turner looks like if Bill Cosby drugged Wendy Williams and had a baby with a skin condition!" Kenny claimed as Kyle looked at him in disgust.
"Dude, are you fucking kidding me?! She's totally hot, 8/10, AT LEAST 8/10!"
"Ah dude you're such a pussy Kahl and Kenny you took it waayy too far. Hedi Turner is just one of those lame in between girls who are not neither hot or not, but neutral. Like Stan's girlfriend Wendy or Uma Therman." Cartman explained with rationality in his voice. Stan didn't even get mad that someone said that his girlfriend was described as another boring chick, because he feels that Wendy thinks of him as just another dude at this point. Even though Stan thought the world of her, he feels like she didn't feel the same way and that really brought him down. Yet all he could do at this point is to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, as all he could do now is to not be too much of a bummer around his friends and at least try to enjoy himself...
"Yeah but Uma Therman is like a MILF, Hedi is just gross dude," Kenny continued
"Hedi Turner is hot screw you, not Uma Therman,"
"Alright you guys, Kyle's got the hots, Kenny is grossed out of his mind, I don't give two shits, Stan do you think Heidi Turner is hot?" Cartman asked as Stan as he snapped to attention and looked over at Cartman like he had no idea what was going on.
"Huh?" Stan responded with a confused look on his face.
"Is Heidi Turner a MILF or not?" Cartman asked.
"Dude that's not what a MILF is," Kenny corrected. "Then what is it?" Cartman asked.
"What about Uma Therman though?" Stan asked nervously, trying to be a part of the conversation he was not paying attention to for the last few minutes.
"That she ain't hot," Kenny said.
"Yea so, but at least she can still act," Stan followed up.
"Says the person who never seen Pulp Fiction," Kyle said, eye-balling Stan.
"DUDE! You never seen Pulp Fiction?! Dude laaaame!" Cartman exploded as Stan tried to come up with a response.
"Oh come on guys, isn't seeing both Kill Bills good enough, like come on you guys,"
"Stan, it doesn't work like that. Saying that you watched the first two Kill Bills and not watching Pulp fiction is almost like saying that you watched the first two Kill Bills, and never seen Pulp Fiction."
"Come on guys it's just a stupid movie," Stan said, as everyone gasped in unison as Stan just looked at them with confusion.
"How could you say that, do you have any idea how big of a deal Pulp Fiction is, it's like NWA meets Forrest Gump and pops a cap in its ass!" Kyle explained to him as Stan held an empty expression on his face.
"I don't get it," he replied, as Cartman was determined to make Stan understand how big of a deal Pulp Fiction is.
"But Stan, you know that 'the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his broth-"
"Look, I've been going through a rough patch with Wendy as of late, so it you can just shut up for like 10 minutes that would be great," Stan interrupted harshly as all his friends starred at him silently for a few moments. Everyone just looked at each other before any of them could think of a way to address their troubled friend.
"Dude, are you alright?" Kyle started.
"Yea, everything is just dandy Kyle," he replied. "Wendy is just not talking to me and I haven't seen her in three weeks, everything is perfect,"
"Look Stan, that sucks and all but you don't have to be such a dick about it," Kyle points out, as Stan sighs under his breath. "Yeah but you would be too if you were me right now,"
"Dude lower your tone, just tell us what is going on exactly and we could help you out," said Kyle, putting his hand on Stan's shoulder.
"Well, lets just say we fought a month ago and I guess since then, things haven't been so great," Stan said, looking down at his feet and drawing a heavy sigh.
"What did you guys fight over?" Kyle asked.
"Well, like a month or month and a half ago, Wendy said that she wanted to go out to see a movie with me and I said no, so she asked why so I just said I didn't wanna go," he replied.
"Why didn't you just say that you were sick or something?" Kenny interrupted. "I would of but something felt really off, like it felt different,"
"How?"
"Almost like, uhh...I guess I just got a little bored of her at that point, not that she bores me in general, I just felt like I needed one night to myself. And I guess you can say in her favor that she has been ignoring me because she wants time to herself as well. But that doesn't mean that she can blow me off for three weeks!. Like if she's mad at me for not wanting to go and avoided me for like a week, that's reasonable. Like blowing me off for a week is one thing, but it starts to get hard after she blows me off for three weeks, you know?" he said, staring at his feet.
There was a brief silence that loomed the air, as no one knew how to respond to something so gloomy.
"Soooo uhhh...feel any better?" Kyle asked him, inching towards Stan slightly.
"A bit, but there is something that is bothering me a bit,"
"What is that?"
"I just have this weird feeling about Wendy. Like, before I was nervous that she wasn't interested in me and that she might want to break up with me but now when I think of it, I think maybe deep down, I'm the one losing interest in her and I'm too afraid to admit it. I guess it goes back to that night when I told Wendy I didn't want to go to the movies with her. Even though I didn't really have anything better to do, I almost felt like hanging out with her would feel like a waste of time, I guess."
"So just break up with her," Kyle insisted.
"But I can't, I really can't," Stan confessed.
"Dude, don't be such a pussy. You seem like you really don't wanna do this anymore and you have to tell Wendy that," said Kenny.
"But it's not like that! I know I said just now that I 'feel like hanging out with her is a waste of time', but that's just how I felt. I guess I felt that way because I have been seeing her so much over the last year, and perhaps all I needed was a little break. It's like we been hanging out too much and it got boring. And I guess I tried to show that when I told Wendy I didn't wanna hang out with her, but maybe she took it personally and took it out on me by ignoring me,"
"Alright, so just tell her how you feel and take it from there I guess. Things should be fine from there," Kyle suggested as Stan shrugged his shoulders in agreement. "Let's just play some basket ball dude, I think you'll be fine dude. We could talk about this later if you want," he added.
"Sure," Stan said nodding his head and going with the rest of the group
