Chapter Two: Lunch
What Kenny noticed first about the kitchen was the size of it, it was much bigger than any he had seen before, the second was the colors of it. Gray, white, black and silver was everywhere. Black and white floor titles, the counters where gray and the backslash is silver. The fridge is stainless steel, the dishwasher black the stove and oven white the cupboards black the garbage can in the corner gray. The third thing Kenny noticed was the kitchen had no juke food. No chips, cookies, ice cream, soda, nothing tasty to eat.
Butters didn't seem to mind "Oh boy carrot sticks!"
"Can I have these-" Butters hesitated "Margret?" it was strange calling an adult by their first name.
"You may have them." Margret smiled not exposing any teeth.
"Nah, nah ah." Tweek was struggling for words "Ah! What's for lunch?"
"Is there anything I particular you boys want?" She asked and hoped they could agree on a lunch and diner idea when the time came.
"Can we have spaghetti?" Butters asked beaming a large smile at her.
"Is that something you two want?" Margret asked eyeing Kenny and Tweek.
"I don't care." Kenny mumbled walking away, head downcast he went to the third bedroom, now his bedroom.
"Sure! Spaghetti is fine!" Tweek shouted enthusticly.
"Charlie stop shouting please." Margret said gently.
"Sorry!" Tweek shouted then a panic attack when he realize he shouted, his eyes went wide "Oh God I'm sorry about shouting and I'm still shouting I'm sorry!" Tweek was terrified of consequences of breaking the rules.
"Charlie its fine, I need you to take a deep breath in through your nose and out your mouth. you need to calm down." She was rubbing circles on Tweek's back through his shirt.
Tweek was blushing from the attention and the contact of the mothering woman.
"Do you boys want to come to the store with me?" She asked still soothing Tweek who was calming down some.
"I don't know!" Tweek was ripping his hand through his hair "It's too much pressure!"
"Well sure I love going to the store!"
"Why don't you get Kenny and ask if he wants to go too." Margret suggested
"Yes, ma'am!" and Butters raced off to find Kenny.
Margret took hold of Tweek's hands "Stop that Charlie you're not allowed to pull at your hair any more. I realize it's a stress coping technique but it's a bad one so you need to find something else besides pulling on your hair to relief your stress." she said firmly but quietly. She released Tweek's hands "So are you coming with Leo and I?'
Tweek twitched and his hands clapped another tightly "Yes!" his hands then camped over his mouth as if he said something wrong "S-s-s-Sorry I d-d-didn't mean to shout." He said a stage whisper.
Margret smiled "I appreciate your efforts to change," She gave a peck on Tweek's check "You're a good boy Charlie and a little enthusiasm is fine so as long as you don't shout all the time."
Butter ran up to Margret "He says he don't want to come and he's taken the third bedroom." he reported.
"Thank you for your help Leo. Okay we should get going." Margret grabbed her keys from the hook on the wall and her purse on the table near the door. "Let's go."
From his window Kenny watched them leave, Butters even waved at him and with a small smile he waved back. Kenny had been in and out of foster homes but he had never been in one like this and he's never had a foster parent like this. The house is huge and the bedrooms, his bedroom that he does not have to share, is huge. The kitchen is fully stocked with food, (granted it has no junk food) but so far he had total acset to eat. Kenny has been in a few foster homes were the food was locked away, the domineering parents controlling every aspect of the lives their they are trusted with. This foster mother Margret was-odd to say the least. She used strange phrased and spook in a strange way but that doesn't make her bad just weird. She spook kindly to them and talked kindly to them and respectfully-even when no one else was around. Kenny has experience with adults who are on the best behavior when other are around. Kenny had mixed feeling- she is weird and weird people often prove to be dangerous; on the other hand she had be nice to them. So, he desisted to cooperate with her until she become unreasonable with demands or if she became abusive. He had cautious hope that things would turn out okay for himself, Butters and Tweek.
Margret with Tweek behind her and Butters in front shopped for food they got tomatoes, garlic, sausage and other ingreadted to make her own sauce, they got noodles because she wasn't prepared to make her own. She got half a pound of roast beef since it was on sale and pot roast. "Leo honey I want you and Charlie to get the eggs and bacon." She sent them off with the brands she wanted and they ran off to the bakery and picked up a chocolate cake she put in her cart and covered it with other things to keep it hidden form Butters and Tweek.
"But-Butters you-Do- do you think people are watching us?" Tweek said with a twitch as eyes wide roamed over the over shoppers.
Butters who was happily humming turned to look at Tweek "Well gee Tweek I don't think so."
"Butters they are looking at us!" Tweek shirked his hands began ripping out hair of their own accord.
"Well now they are because your screaming, let's just get the bacon and eggs and get back." Butters was looking for the brands they were sent to get. He reached for the bacon and thought better of it. Tweek could not be trusted with eggs, he would not break them on purpose but he might drop them.
"Oh God oh Jesus oh God, oh Jesus, Nah! She's going to be mad at me, so mad I pulled out my hair again!" Tweek forced his hands to grip each other and not his hair.
"Well maybe she won't notice, I won't tell on ya buddy." Butters whispered as if he reviled a huge secret.
Tweek froze on the spot for just a few seconds but his twitching and ticks couldn't stay away for long. He turned in a spastic way to face Butters "Really?! dude thanks!"
Butters gave Tweek a hug "Well sure! What are foster brothers for?"
Tweek was so stunned he was completely motionless he hugged Butters back. "Thanks Butters, I'll I'll- I- I'll be-" he took a deep breath he wanted his next words to not be a stuttered mess "I promise to be a good foster brother."
Butters smiled at Tweek "Here Tweek here's the bacon and I got the eggs." Butters handed Tweek the packet of bacon which would suffer less damage then the eggs if Tweek freaked out again.
They went to find Margret but she found them "I'm over here boys." She was leaving the aile next to them.
"Oh good there you are." Butter said and gave her the eggs "I think that's everything-Margret."
"Yeah that's everything." Tweek said to himself "Unless-!"
"Charlie I ask that you not shout," she said in a low tone "and besides we don't foget anything." she said hotly.
"Well that's great!" Butters cheered "I can't wait to get back and fix lunch."
They went to the register and has the shopping cart emptied they spotted the cake "what's that?" Butters asked pointing at the cake in it's pink box.
"A special surprise." Margret answered with a smile. "I hope you boys like it."
"We get some of the special surprise?" Butter asked he was genially confused usually his parents come home and eat whatever special treat they bring home. He usauly wasn't allowed treats since he's always grouned.
"Of course everybody gets some, it would not be right to eat cake and not let you have any."
"You got cake?!" Butters and Tweek said as one.
Margert sighed 'So much for the surprise.' She paid for the food and rolled the cart out the store.
"Oh boy cake with lunch!" Butters cheered as he Tweek and Margret laoded the car with the groceries. When the cart was empty Margret returned the cart.
"You were very good boys thanks for helping me with shopping." she praised warmly.
The boys smiled feeling proud of themselves "I sure do like shopping with you, my mom usually leaves me at home or makes me stay real close to her."
"Well I trust you boys and my trust was not missed place." was all Margret would say she didn't want to say anything agesnit their biological parents as that would aleanite them from her as they surley have alience to their biogical parents.
"It sure is nice beng trusted." Butter muttered to himself, Tweek and Margret heard be made no coment. They arrived home and unlaoed the car with as much as they could "Kenny could you please help unload the car?" Margret called up the stairs.
Kenny was on his bed napping but he awoke when he Margret calling for him "Kenny are you alright dear?" He was grogey from just waking up "I'm coming!" he called down.
Butters ran up to met him on the stairs he was bouncing with excitement "Kenny, Kenny we got cake Kenny, she bought cake and we can have some too! Oh boy I havn't had cake in a long time!"
Kenny was surprised he hadn't had cake in a while either "Cool man." Kenny suspected Margret was trying to buy their love and trust but he would keep his eye on her.
Margret made lunch, she insisted that the boys play and when everything was ready she went upstairs and knocked on thir doors.
"Were in Kenny's room!" Butters called out.
She entered the room and smiled at what she saw the boys were laying on the floor playing a board game. "Oh good you found the games and I'm glad you boys are getting along. It's lunch time if your three are hungry." She smiled at them and her heart is touch by them getting along.
"Alright lunch!"
Tweek and Kenny rolled their eyes at their overly enuastic foster brother.
Lunch was quit the event salad served in tiny bowls, the main course served on large plated with garlic bread and the chocolate cake desert. Everything was fine till Tweek wanted his usual cups of coffee before he went to bed.
'They told me his addicted, damn his parents!' she thought viciously "In this house there is no coffee, and you won't be having any more so as long as you live with me."She said firmly.
Tweek shock violently "WHAT?! But Ineedcoffee!" he cried in desperation.
"You do not shoutat meCharles Tweak!" She screamed deeply offended at the raised voice "You will not get coffee and you will not rise your voice to me. " Her voice low, a threatening whisper her eyed narrowed to slits.
"But I need it, it calms me down I need it please!" Tweek begged.
"Do not shout Charles and you do not need it, I repeat for the last time with any consequences you are never getting coffee while you are here. If I find you sneaked coffee you will be punished."She turned from the cowering Tweek "You boys should go out and play, go now." She said her voice was thick with emotion she sat down in her favorite armchair in the living room. She heard the front door slam and normally she would tell them off for that but she knows she has terrified them already and she felt terrible. She had to think hopefully they would play quietly but even if they were loud she didn't dare shout at them anymore today.
