Pairing: Candy.

Song: Asia- The Heat of the Moment

Note: This takes place during/after the events of the episode "Chef Goes Nanners"


Do you remember when we used to dance?

And incidents arose from circumstance

One thing lead to another we were young

And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment

Telling me what my heart meant

The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

And now you find yourself in '82

The disco hot spots hold no charm for you

You can concern yourself with bigger things

You catch a pearl and ride the dragon's wings


To think... you would fall for a person that you couldn't stand... yet there was that one moment where it was different... everything changed.

That was how a certain elementary school student named Wendy Testaburger felt about her debate partner, Eric Cartman. The debate was formed by a dispute about the racial meaning pictured on the flag, and the school created a debate between the students as a project to decide whether or not to change the town's flag. Wendy didn't chose to be partnered with Cartman, she hated him. He just chose her side to spite her. She hated Cartman, and he hated her.

Or at least that's how it started out.

Wendy didn't want to feel this way about Cartman, she just did. But she could never tell him. Her boyfriend was one of his best friends for fuck's sake. Besides, what could anyone see in Cartman?

As far as anyone knew, Eric Cartman was known for being racist, homophobic, anti-semetic, and just basically just intolerable of anyone. He insults his "friends" constantly, calling them names. To him, everyone had a label. For Kyle, it was Jew, for Kenny, it was poor boy, and for Wendy's boyfriend, Stan, it was hippie.

Wendy and Cartman had their own idea of what should go down in their side of the debate. Wendy simply wanted to use facts, while Cartman wanted to exploit Kyle and Stan's dirtiest secrets hoping it turn the tables on them, and embarrass them into butting out. Wendy disliked the idea because it meant embarrassing her boyfriend and his friend. So she and Cartman had some study sessions together, and that's when she realized she had feelings for him.

Wendy talked to her best friend Bebe Stevens about her growing feelings for the intolerable fatass. It was then that Bebe explained sexual tension to Wendy. She offered her two choices: leave her feelings unresolved, or just kiss him.

It took a while, but Wendy had eventually made up her decision.


The day of the debate, the kids gathered in the auditorium, the whole town watching them. Wendy couldn't focus on anything except Cartman. So she did the unthinkable.

She kissed him.

She kissed him in front of her friends, his friends, her parents, his mom, and worst of all- her boyfriend.

Stan stood there in shock. His girlfriend kissed Cartman. Eric fucking Cartman. The fatass who couldn't get a girl to tell him the time of day, somehow got Wendy Testaburger, his girlfriend, who could have any guy she wanted, to kiss him. It was like the world stopped turning, like his heart stopped beating, like all life ceased to exist.

All that mattered was that Cartman the stupid fat bastard was kissing Wendy.

His girlfriend.

But why?


In the end there was no debate. Chef had used his words of wisdom, and got the flag changed. But Wendy was still confused. She saw Stan run out after a small ceremony was held to celebrate the changing of the flag. Wendy followed him, and found him sitting in front of the school's front doors.

"Stan?" Wendy called to him softly.

Stan glanced up. "What is it Wendy?" He asked her.

Wendy opened her mouth, trying to find the right words. She wanted to say to him, Stan, I'm sorry. I didn't want to put you through that. I don't and will never have feelings for Eric Cartman. It was just a mistake I never meant to make.

But what came out was:

"I'm sorry Stan for making you see that. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just felt that since I did have feelings for Cartman, I would kiss him and get those unresolved feeling out of the way. But I can't. I'm sorry Stan but I don't think it's going to work out between us because I have feelings for someone else. It wouldn't be fair to you to continue a relationship that just doesn't feel right anymore."

Stan sighed. "I understand." He stood up. "See you Wendy. I hope you and Cartman are happy together." Then he stepped onto the sidewalk, and walked away.

An hour or so later, Wendy was at home, laying on her bed, thinking. Then, as if subconsciously, she the phone on her nightstand, and dialed in a number that was quite new to her. On the fourth ring, the person picked.

"What do you want?" Cartman's sharp voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hey Cartman it's Wendy."

"Oh hey Wendy." Cartman's tone of voice sounded softer. "What's up?"

"Cartman I have to tell you something." Wendy sucked in a breath. It's now or never. "Cartman I really like you."

Silence was her only response.

"Oh really?" Cartman didn't sound smug like usual, he sounded curious and... pleased? "Well I feel the same way Wendy. Do you want to go out sometime?"

Wendy was a little surprised by his positive (and forward) response. Nevertheless, her face burst into a smile.

"I'd love to."


'Cause it's the heat of the moment

Heat of the moment

The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone

How many nights you sit beside the phone

What were the things you wanted for yourself?

Teenage ambitions you remember well


THE END

How was it? Good? Bad? I hope you guys liked it. Especially you Jon! I have two more requests, and I can't wait to start them. I had a lot of fun writing this and I really hope it's at least okay!
