Ugh, I'm really not fond of this story. Lot's of reference to past episodes but the last paragraph just sounds too corny. Blehhh.
2. Love
It was love for his mother that made Kenny McCormick clean broken shards of lamp of their coarse, stained carpet. It was not love that had prompted her to smash the cheap lamp against the wall in a fit of drunken rage after arguing with his also drunken father, in the first place.
It was love for his friends that prompted Kenny to see the movies with his them so often, spending all his measly earnings on the ticket. It was nothing close to love, which let him accept all the dares they threw at him with the promise of money. Although, the Krazy Kenny show did get him quite a bit of spare cash. As well as a brief bout in juvenile hall for prostitution.
It was love for a certain Tammy Warner that made him empty his small savings, just to buy her a cheap, plastic rose. It was certainly not love that compelled him to; once again, use his hard earned (and in some cases stolen) money to buy her tickets to the Jonas Brother Concert.
It was love for the whole, wide world that had Kenny running recklessly across the street in a state of blissful ignorance. Things were starting to look up and he had reached the self-satisfied 'high on life' feeling as he waved energetically to his friends, who were dribbling a basketball on the cement courts on the other side of the road.
It wasn't love, or anything else for that matter, that stopped the thundering truck from smashing into Kenny McCormick. Sending his splattered body spraying down the lonely street and procuring surprised yells of:
"Oh my God! He killed Kenny!"
"You Bastard!"
From his surprised friends.
