Bunch of Cry Babies.

RATED M: FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

Author's note: This is a rather short chapter, but I think it ended at a good point, so I just left it as it is.

Chapter 3: So Much for Secrets!

It was the next day, and Cartman woke up extra early to catch Kenny. He got into his usual outfit, grabbed a baseball bat, and snuck out into snowy south park. He approached the bus stop, and hid behind a nearby tree. There he waited.

Almost an hour passed until he saw someone approaching. It was Kenny, but he wasn't wearing his trademark poncho. He was donning a simple orange hoodless jacket and jeans, letting his blonde locks and rounded face be visible. Cartman was nearly frozen from being motionless for so long, but managed to walk over to the boy, gripping the baseball bat.

"Well good morning Kinny..." He said, with an evil twang.

"Eric?" Kenny was the only one, besides Butters, who ever called him Eric.

"Don't call me that asshole!" Cartman said, slamming the bat into the bus stop sign, scaring Kenny.

"Don't kill me again please!" Kenny begged. Seeing Kenny's face wasn't a srange thing to Cartman, but seeing him beg certainly was.

"I only killed you cuz you were about to tell those two assholes that we had sex!" Cartman hissed.

"I knew it!"

Cartman's heart nearly shut down upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice of Kyle Broflovski. He and Stan came into view, followed by Butters, who was clutching Stan's hand this time. Cartman dropped his bat, and fell to his knees. Kyle and Stan were confused, but understood the general situation.

"Cartman get up." Stan said.

"So that's it huh?..." Cartman said, beginning to sniffle.

"What are you talking about?" Kyle sighed.

"Now you guys have something else to rip me for...?" Cartman began to full-on cry now. Tears streamed down the fat boy's face. Stan got closer to him.

"No, you're just like us, that's all.." Kenny said, placing a hand on Cartman's shoulder. The fat boy recoiled, and looked at the three boys, then he took one long look at Kenny. Then he pulled out a pistol and fired directly at the poor boy's forehead, sending him flying backward into the bus stop sign, blood pouring from his blonde mop. "Oh my God, you killed Kenny, again!"

"You bastard, again!" Kyle responded impulsively. Butters looked on at the carnage, but was noticeably less vexed than before. Cartman then began to bawl his eyes out, getting up and running away from the other boys.

"Cartman come back!" Stan shouted. He ran after the larger boy. Kyle looked on, and grabbed Butters' hand.

"What's gonna happen now?" Butters asked.

"I dunno, but I'm gonna let Stan handle it today." Kyle said. Butters nodded, as the bus pulled up.

Meanwhile, Stan was still running after Cartman. For being considerabley overweight, Cartman was outrunning the football player. Soon enough, however, his energy diminishes, and Stan catches up in an instant, nearly running into him. He instead stops a few feet from him

"Leave...me...alone...Stan!" Cartman huffs. He is completely worn out from the running.

"Why!? I just want to help you!" Stan said.

"No! Now that you know I like Kinny, you're just gonna make fun of me!" He shouts. Stan is taken aback.

"Aren't you forgetting that Kyle and I are gay?" Stan said.

"It's not you two who I'm worried about." Cartman said, wiping his tears away.

"Well dammit, If anybody tries to rip on any of us for being gay, then we'll all kick their asses!" Stan says, pounding his fists together, showing he did mean business. Cartman's tears stopped. He approached the other boy, and gave him a tight hug.

"Thanks Stan," Cartman said. He then took Stan's hand in his own and the two walked on. "Sorry I killed Kinny again..."

"It's okay, he'll be back tomorrow." Stan reassured him, as they walked on to school, having missed the bus.

Author's note 2: Thanks for reading! The next chapter will focus on Craig's gang, I'll get back to the South Park four eventually.
