Stan Marsh was a typical fourth grade boy. He liked playing space invaders, detectives and lord of the rings with his friends. He played quarterback on the school's football team the South Park Cows. He got pretty solid grades, and he was generally a nice kid.
One thing that stood out among his list of accomplishments was his girlfriend, Wendy Testaburger. Most of his friends were still in that "girls are lame" stage, but not Stan. From the moment he first met Wendy he knew there was something special about her (and if that wasn't enough of an indicator, the vomit he usually sprayed at her every time she talked to him most certainly was). Wendy was a walking angel in his eyes. She could do no wrong, and the ground she walked upon was blessed.
All of his friends gave him trouble for it, especially Cartman, but he didn't care. Stan genuinely considered Wendy to be the best thing to ever happen to him. Stan didn't truly understand just how much Wendy meant to him until she dumped him for Token Black. The weeks that followed were some of the worst of his life. He put on the tough guy façade for his friends, called her a bitch and all that. But beneath all of it, he was in pain. Wendy's relationship with Token lasted all of two weeks. Though Stan never really learned why they had broken up, he gathered that it had something to do with what Token perceived as a lack of devotion on Wendy's end.
Of course when Stan learned of their break up his mood took a huge swing upwards, though he did his best to hide it. When Kyle told Stan about the break up, Stan merely replied with an "Uh…cool." Being Stan's best friend, Kyle was well aware of the fact that Stan was hiding his real reaction inside.
Kyle was also aware of how much Wendy meant to Stan. No one really knew it, but he had sort of engineered the break up between Wendy and Token. Nothing drastic, just simple statements to Token designed to make him doubt his relationship with Wendy. Kyle managed to convince Token that Wendy was a walking "ball and chain". Being the self proclaimed "lady-killer" that he was, Token began to realize that being with Wendy meant he couldn't be a lady-killer, which in turn was a buzz killer.
Kyle managed to do all of that and more. He spoke to Wendy without anyone else's knowledge. Wendy didn't seem one-hundred percent over Stan, and you can bet your bottom dollar that Kyle knew how to exploit that. He talked about times he remembered Stan and Wendy being happy together. Eventually Wendy broke down and began to cry. She told Kyle about how she still cared about Stan, but that Stan had seemed uninterested. Kyle managed to convince her otherwise, and told her about how much it had affected Stan when Wendy broke it off with him.
Now that both Stan and Wendy were in a position to make something happen, Kyle figured it was only a matter of time before they got back together.
I wonder if it will be instantaneous Kyle thought to himself.
I know Stan still likes Wendy, even if he won't admit it. I've done way too much scheming for them to stare at each other from afar.
Kyle paused for a moment, putting his hands to his head and trying to make his brain work harder.
If they don't make any moves towards each other, they'll only drift further apart. If only there was something going on that would give Stan and Wendy a reason to hang out together…Oh well, I'll just worry about it in the morning.
With that, Kyle took off his same old green hat, brushed his teeth, got into his pajamas and went to bed. He could already feel a headache coming on, and the events of tomorrow hadn't even happened yet…
