Kenny wandered around Hell as quickly as he could- who knew how much time he would have before he went back Earth? He made a mental note to apologize to Butters-he didn't need to see Kenny walk in front of that train, but Kenny had been selfish and didn't want to die alone.
He must've asked a dozen demons and thousands of damned souls before he found Satan's place- it was always on the move. If anyone did, Satan should know where Pip was.
Kenny rang the doorbell, rolling his eyes as its screams and wails filled the area. Really? Satan said he was going to fix that…
Satan opened the door and, upon seeing who it was, smiled at his young friend and beckoned him inside.
Kenny found Pip's dorm in Satan's house…palace…castle…thing, and knocked on the door.
When the British blonde opened the door he began to close it once he saw who it was, but Kenny plugged the door with his foot, preventing him from doing so.
"Pip, I just need to talk to you."
"Yeah?" The outcast said, his glare and accent becoming strong with each second." Well, I'm not interested in what you have to say, McCormick."
Kenny winced; the way Pip had said his name, it sounded like an insult. "Pip, come on. I'm on your side; I want to help you!"
Pip's force on the door lessened but didn't cease completely. "Why would you, McCormick? Since when have you cared?" He asked untrusting of the American.
"Since I realized how much of a jerk- including myself- everyone has been to you. Take Damien for example.
Step one: you say, "we need to talk."
He walks; you say, "sit down; it's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through."
Kenny recalled Pip's solution to it all and it saddened him that he wasn't able to help Butters' only friend at the time.
"Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay rightBetween the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong; I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I could've stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life."
Pip had to force his expression to become annoyed once more- good sign. "If you want to help so much what the hell do you think I should do, huh?" Kenny grinned as he continued.
"Let him know that you know best,
'Cause after all you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong;
Things you told him all along.
And pray to God he hears you,
And pray to God he hears you."
Pip cocked his head to the side, considering the different possibilities of what Kenny might mean.
"As he begins to raise his voice,
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
Drive 'til you lose the road
And break with the ones who follow.
He will do one of two things:
He will admit to everything,
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came."
"I have to think about it…" Pip said before hurrying away. Kenny watching him until he rounded behind a flaming meteor.
"Where did I go wrong; I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I could've stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life."
Pip started toward the poverty-stricken South Park native and Kenny knew that he would hear Pip's answer to his proposal in a few moments. In only a few moments he would regain Butters' innocent trust…
A/N: Did you see how many times Kenny referred to Butters? I guess even people with the best of intentions have ulterior motives…
O.o
