Ruby makes him go to the mall with her and Karen.

"Mom and dad don't trust me with the car," she had told him and rolled her eyes. It was understandable, she is a horrible driver.

Craig had asked Tweek first, if he wants to come with them, but Tweek had told him he had to take care of some things at the Coffee shop. So instead Craig had asked Clyde and Token, who were too busy with themselves. Kyle, Butters and Kenny were the only one who agreed to come.

"So," Kyle says, when they're at the mall and are eating ice cream. "I heard you and Tweek are getting it on."

"No, we're not," Craig replies.

"Really? I'm not blind, Craig." Kenny grins at him and Craig shows him his middle finger. Craig still hasn't forgiven him for interrupting him when he wanted to kiss Tweek on the dance floor the other day.

"Geez, I'm really happy for you two!", Butters says and Craig glares at him.

"Tweek and I aren't a thing." Not yet, he adds and Kyle sighs.

"Don't forget out deal," he says.

"I didn't agree with it."

"What deal?", Kenny asks curiously. He's one of the few people that hasn't changed at all. Sometimes Craig thinks what would've happened if he and Kenny would've went out more than just once on prom. Kenny isn't his type, though. His type had pale blonde hair and loves coffee.

"Nothing," Kyle says quickly.

They change the subject after that quickly and Butters and Kenny tell them about how they have met up with Damien and Pip the other day. "They're a cute couple," Butters says and Kenny grins.

"Yeah, I can't really blame Damien. Pip got hot over the years," he says.

"I'm still confused," Kyle says. "How do you even know Damien so well?" Kenny shrugs and doesn't answer, but nobody asks anymore about that matter.

Butters' phone rings and he jerks up. When he looks at his, his face reddens and Kenny looks at the screen. "Is that your secret lover again?", he asks, but Butters shakes his head quickly.

"What? No! I… I have to pick this up." He goes away and is smiling the whole time.

"I need to know who this is," Kenny says. "He's been acting this weird for weeks now!" Craig agrees, but he isn't that invested in Butters' love life, may it be with a guy or a girl, since the boy swings both ways. Kenny then turns to Craig. "Don't you wanna know who it is?"

"No," he replies. "I don't care."

"What if his lover boy and your fuck buddy are one and the same and you'll never know, because none of you know who the other is?", Kenny asks and Kyle laughs.

"I doubt it."

"What?!" Kenny gasps. "You know who Butters is dating?" Kyle shakes his head and Craig really wants to kill him in this moment right now. "You know who Craig is fucking." Kenny grabs Craig's shirt. "I can't believe you told him and not me."

Craig shakes him and flips him off at the same time. "You, concentrate on your deal," he tells Kyle and the boy sighs.

"Yeah, but I don't know how! Should I just… be his friend again?"

"So, that's the deal about." Kenny nods. "You can talk with him today at the pond."

"Or right now," Craig says and points to Stan and Gary. They're at the mall too and aren't noticing them. What is it with him meeting couples? First Cartman and Wendy and now them. They're holding hands and Kyle lets out a quiet sob. Craig can't blame him.

They're a pretty couple, he must admit that. Both of them were overly attractive and seem to be out on a casual date.

"You know, I think it's just weird how all of our boys ended up gay. Or, you know, interested in guys." Kenny shrugs and tilts his head. "Then on the other hand, Lizzie and Red hooked up the other day at the party."

Nobody cares, Kyle seems to want to run away, but Craig stops him. "You promised not to do this anymore," he tells him and Kyle is shaking. He has such a temper, he really needs to calm down. He was the complete opposite of Craig, who was always calm. Then, on the other hand, Craig might be like that too, if he saw Tweek with some other guy or girl.

"What should I do? Say hello?!"

"Yes," Kenny replies. "You know, just be his friend again. I know it's hard, but Stan and Gary are not going to marry… At least I hope. Just be patient and one day he'll realize he loves you."

"I was patient for like eight years!", Kyle yells and Kenny holds up his hands.

"Don't scream at me, I'm not Cartman!"

Butters comes back to them. "Sorry guys, I have to go! Tre- I mean, someone wants to see me. He's picking- uh." He's nervous, like he doesn't want to slip away what's going on. "I'll just… See you later at Stark's Pond, okay?"

"What happens if we follow you to find out who it is?", Kenny asks and Butters smiles.

"You wouldn't survive it," he replies and he's so sure of it, that none of the boys say anything, when he walks away.

You can't really separate Clyde and Token anymore, they were too clingy.

It was kind of awkward now that Jimmy wasn't there. Sitting in front of that couple that were practically sitting on each other's lap was weird when Craig was next to Tweek. It wasn't horrible, though. Craig would never think spending time with Tweek is horrible. He would've just liked to stay and not go to Stark's Pond, but Clyde really wanted to.

Craig really wasn't a people's person. He preferred staying in with his few close friends. Or well, just with Tweek, but you can't get everything you want.

Jimmy was right, everyone was at Stark's Pond. They spotted him in the crowd of their other old classmates next to Timmy. They were talking cheerfully with each other, Jimmy doing most of the talking and Timmy saying his name in response.

He sees Kyle hanging out with Christophe and Gregory again and they nod at each other as a greeting. Wendy is sitting around with the girls, Cartman is with Gary and Stan.

"Hey guys!", Bebe shouts at Tweek and waves him and Craig to her group. They all exchange glances and then shrug, walking towards them. They've brought banks for them all to sit and Craig sits down next to Tweek. Next to their feet is beer and Craig takes one and opens it.

„How are you? You look great," Bebe says and smiles. "I can't believe we'll have you back here now forever!"

Tweek giggles. "I-I don't know about 'forever'…"

"Craig would like it, right?" Bebe looks at him and Craig doesn't reply.

"Yeah, I remember how sad you were after Tweek moved away," Annie agrees. Annie still hasn't grown a little bit. She had been the shortest girl in their grade, probably like only 5'2". She's sitting across from Craig, the tallest guy.

"I know right! I couldn't believe it was just a fake relationship, because Craig sure as hell acted like in a real breakup," Lizzie says and grins. Of all the girls, puberty has done Lizzie well most. She got even more beautiful now, somehow having a wild look to her.

"Aw, r-really?", Tweek asks and Craig flushes.

"No."

"Yes, don't deny it!" Bebe laughs and Craig just drinks his beer. "You know, what we should do girls?"

"A fourth list," Red whispers. The others are all cheering and agreeing loudly and Craig winces.

"You're gay, right? You can help us!" Heidi suggests.

"Actually, I'm bi," Tweek says and Red raises her hand.

"I'm gay."

"Who cares? We're making a fourth list." Bebe says. She brings out her mobile phone and types down: 'HOTTEST BOYS'. Craig can't believe he's doing this, but Tweek is laughing, so he doesn't really care. He's also starting to feel tipsy, the beer and the pregaming at Token's place are finally kicking in.

Girls are weird. Craig remembers coming out to his parents when he was fifteen, and nobody cared because they had thought he was gay anyway. He had been upset about that, because no, they don't understand. He and Tweek hasn't been a real couple! He had been so upset, that he had written a letter to Tweek.

Dear Tweek,

I'm gay. I came out to my parents and they told me I can't come out twice. Idiots.

"Obviously, the hottest boy is Stan," Pattie says. "If it sunshines and sparkles." Craig doesn't get they all swoon about that Stan Marsh has gotten even hotter over the years, even beating Kenny now, they all agree and Bebe writes down Stan as their first place. Okay, maybe Stan was good looking, but really not Craig's type at all. It is easily settled, that Kenny is on the second place now.

"And then Gary," Lizzie shouts. "He and Stan are such a handsome couple!"

"I'm still sad for Kyle," Wendy says. It's the first time she says something about this list and smiles. „I always thought I was going to lose Stan for him."

"Who's on the fourth place?", Annie asks.

The girls don't reply, so Craig blurts out: "Tweek." Tweek is jumping up a little bit in surprise next to him and looks at Craig with wide eyes.

"What?"

Craig flushes and curses himself, while the girls around them all say 'Aw'. "You should be on the fourth place," Craig says. Well, actually the first. Tweek blushes now too.

"Th-Thanks."

"Okay, Tweek is really cute," Nichole agrees. "But, no offense, Tweek, I think Token should be on the fourth." After some arguing, everyone later agrees to write down Token as the fourth hottest boy, followed by Tweek. On the sixth place is DogPoo, which is surprising everyone, since he had always been somewhere on the last place. Well, if he washes himself and doesn't wear lumps, he isn't really bad looking.

When they all say Craig should be on the seventh place, Butters arrives. His eyes are red and he looks like he's been crying. He goes over to Kyle and Kenny and Craig stands up immediately and follows him. Okay, he wasn't as close with Butters as he had become with Kyle, but they were still friends.

Yeah, it was weird that he now even counted Butters Stotch as his friend. Over three years of living together has lead to that. Tweek follows him and so do Token and Clyde. "Hey, what's up?", Clyde asks, when they all sit down together, the seven of them. Butters shakes his head.

"Nothing. What? Why should anything be up? Everything's perfectly fine."

"You've cried," Kyle states. „Tell me what's up."

Butters eyes start tearing again and he buries his face in his hands. Kenny pulls him into a hug. "Now, everything is okay. What happened, Buttercup?"

"B-Buttercup?", Butters asks between his sobs.

"Come on, Butters! Tell me who I have to fight! It's your secret boyfriend, right?", Kyle asks. Even though Kyle was that short, he got into fights a lot. He could probably defeat Craig easily.

"You wouldn't be able to!", Butters screams. "He'll kill you!"

"Oh god, who are you dating, for god's sake, Butters!", Clyde shouts. "He sounds scary as fuck now!"

Tweek gives Butters a handkerchief and Butters smiles at him, wiping his tears with it. "T-Thank you, Tweek. Oh, boy. I guess I have to tell you, but please don't hate me!"

"Why the fuck would we hate you for dating anyone? As long as it's not Cartman. Or Stan," Kenny says and Kyle shoots him a glare.

"No. It's…" Butters is playing with his thumbs. "Uh. Trent. Trent Boyett."

"What?!" Kyle jumps up. "That's even worse than Craig's fuck buddy!" Craig winces. He will never tell anyone ever again, especially not Kyle. Craig notices the look Tweek is giving him and looks away quickly.

"Trent Boyett? He tried to fucking kill us! You were in the hospital because of him once!", Kenny shouts and Butters shrugs.

"Did anyone say Trent?" Stan and Cartman are standing there now too, luckily with no Gary. As if Kyle has totally forgotten that he and Stan hasn't really talked in years now and he's angry at him, Kyle turns to Stan and shouts: "Butters was dating Trent Boyett! The guy who tried to kill us!"

"You can't blame him for that, Kyle! He spent his entire childhood in prison!" Butters sighs. "We met again a few months ago and… I apologized and he did too. We somehow ended up dating, he's a really nice boy actually."

"Why did you date Trent?", Kenny asks. "I mean… what about m-" He loses his voice and shakes his head.

"Who's Trent B-Boyett?", Tweek.

"The scariest motherfucker on the planet," Clyde explains. "These five boys have pissed him off once and were on his hit list because of it."

"I can't believe you fucked Trent," Cartman murmurs. "I can't believe Trent actually dated you! You're his type?" Butter starts sobbing again.

"Says the guy that has a thing going on with Wendy," Token shoots back and now Stan gasps.

"You have a thing going on with Wendy?!", Stan shouts. "What the fuck, dude?"

Cartman flushes. "I'll kill you Token, seriously, I will." Then he sighs. "Don't you blame me, okay? You're the one who's dating Gary."

"Gary is not your ex, as far as I know," Stan says.

"But Kyle is our friend!" Who would've known Cartman cares too? Kyle and Stan stare at each other, their mouth open. For a moment, everything is silent and Craig can't believe there's so much drama going on. It's ridiculous. Then he remembers there's this between him and Tweek and can't really talk about the others.

"This isn't about us," Kyle says after a while and clears his throat, turning back to Butters. "So, what did he do?"

"N-Nothing," Butters murmurs. "He just broke up with me. That's it. Says he doesn't love me anymore… he says it's because I'm so distant!"

"Were you?", Clyde asks and Butters shrugs.

"Well, maybe. I don't know. He says I am too- forget it. It's over now." The boy tries to smile, but none of the others smile back.

"You don't need to be all happy now again," Tweek suddenly says. "You really liked him and it's okay to be sad, you know? Getting over a break up is hard, I must know. I'm currently trying to."

"What?" Craig stares at him and Tweek smiles.

"My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago," he explains.

"You had a boyfriend?!"

"Argh, yeah. We dated only for three months."

Tweek had a boyfriend. Of course. He hasn't only had his high school girlfriend of two weeks, no. He had also dated a guy. For three months! And he wasn't over him yet. Fuck, how was Craig able to win him over now? Tweek doesn't even like him the same way as Craig liked him and on top of that, he is probably still in love with his ex!

"Thank you, Tweek," Butters says. "Can we… get drunk now?"

Cartman starts laughing. "Of course we can. Can we sit down or is it too full?"

Kyle and Stan exchange glances, but then Kyle shifts so that they can sit down next to him. It's weird to see them again for the first time in years and it almost looks like nothing has changed. But so much has changed over these years. Yeah, Tweek had even dated someone. He wasn't like Craig, who still isn't able to get over Craig.

While Craig was still trying to 'get over' his break up with Tweek from seven years ago, Tweek already had moved on and found someone else.
