Author's Note: Here's the next installment. If it seems kinda slow now don't worry, the pace will pick up soon enough. Chapter 3 is in the works. See if you can spot the subtle(?) movie quote/reference.

Chapter 2

It's 3:00 PM and South Park High School just let out. Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman met up in the parking lot out in front of the school.

"Oh man, you guys. That was the hardest algebra test I've ever taken." complained Kenny.

"It was the only algebra test you've ever taken." remarked Stan.

"Right. It was also the hardest." replied Kenny.

"Dude, I don't know where your brain goes sometimes. I think you've been spending too much time around Bebe." said Kyle

"Hey, Bebe has a positive influence on me. Two in fact." said Kenny gesturing his hands around where breasts would go. Everyone laughed.

"Nope, Kenny's not perverted at all." said Cartman. "Well, as much as I would love to talk about Bebe's breasts, I've got to get home and see how Mr. Kitty is doing."

"Yeah, I've got to get going too. My brother's expecting me to pick him up soon." said Kyle. "Say, are you guys doing anything later?"

"Yeah, Kenny and I are meeting Wendy and Bebe at the movie theater at 5." said Stan

"You're going to see a movie with girls?! There just gonna distract you!" exclaimed Cartman

"That's kinda the point, dumbass." said Kenny.

"Whatever. Screw you guys, I'm going home." And with an annoyed stride Cartman headed for home.

"Have fun you guys, see you later." said Kyle as he walked down toward the elementary school. As he walked away Kenny looked back over toward the high school and saw Wendy and Bebe. They were walking away from them, so Kenny and Stan snuck up behind them and grabbed them from behind. The two girls shrieked, but then started laughing. Bebe turned around and started to hit Kenny playfully while Wendy simply let Stan continue to embrace her. They talked about their day in between kisses and after a while Wendy and Bebe decided they needed to go home to get ready for their date. They kissed their boys goodbye and left, and Stan and Kenny both left to go hang out at Stan's house until it was time to meet the girls at the movie theater.

At South Park Elementary, Kyle waited around outside for Ike to appear. After about 45 minutes, every other kid was gone, and Ike wasn't anywhere to be found. Kyle started to get worried and went inside to try and find Ike's teacher. 'Maybe he's still in his classroom working on his project.' though Kyle. Eventually he found his way to Ike's classroom. The door was closed but the light was on, so Kyle knocked.

"Come on in." said Mr. Garrison. Kyle slowly opened the door and looked around. The room was deserted except for Mr. Garrison, who was sitting at his desk correcting papers.

"Oh Kyle, what a pleasant surprise. What brings you here?"

"Hey Mr. Garrison. I was just wondering where my little brother was."

"Oh don't worry, one of your friends came by and picked him up already."

"Who?"

"It was Trent." Kyle blinked once, then he blinked again, but harder.

"…Who?"

"Trent, uh, Boyett. He said he was a friend of yours." Kyle's left eye began to twitch, but he managed to hold his brain together long enough to thank Mr. Garrison and close the door. Back out in the vacant hallway Kyle stood blankly just on the other side of the door for about four seconds. Then with cat-like reflexes he bolted as fast as he could run to the exit. As he ran he kept saying 'no' in a louder and louder voice until he was screaming it at the top of his lungs. When he got out to the street he stopped and looked around franticly.

"I've got to warn the other guys!"

At Cartman's house, Cartman finally get fed up with searching and decides to ask his mom.

"Meeehhm? Where's Mr. Kitty?"

"Oh Hun, a nice veterinarian came by earlier and picked him up. He said he was going to bring him down to the vet to do some tests and give him some medicine." Cartman sighed in frustration.

"In that case, I'll be going down to the vet to see him." Cartman headed for the door.

"Oh no, Eric, you have to do your homework."

"But, Meeehhm…" complained Cartman.

"No buts, young man."

"But, Meeeeeehhhhhhmm…" complained Cartman again, while faving his fists in the air in a pathetic, whimpering manner. His mom caved in as usual.

"Oh, Ok Eric. Just don't be too long." Excited, Cartman headed out the door and went to the vet's office.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious, abandoned, broken down old building, Trent Boyett is busy preparing the scene for the eventual confrontation. Unlike his first attempt at revenge 5 years ago, Trent is not going to hunt them down. He's learned from the past. Now he's 5 years older, 5 years wiser, and 5 years angrier. Trent has trained himself to be patient, as revenge is a dish best served frozen. As a result he's become more cunning, more devious, more creative, and in some ways even more dangerous. No longer is Trent the blind, savage, Neanderthalic bully he was before. He is a whole new monster-a monster with a brain. A beast with a plan.

As he inspects his sharpened knife, he catches a beam of light from the setting sun through a narrow opening in one of the boarded up windows. He looks at his knife and sees his reflection.

"It's been a long time, old friend. But don't worry, you shall drip rubies soon enough."
