Title: A Lifetime of Style
Disclaimer: I do not "own" South Park or any of its characters. The lucky bastards Trey Parker and Matt Stone do, however. I only own this plot idea.

Chapter 25: Engagement
During fall break, Rob calls Stan and Kyle to tell them that he popped the question to Ashley and she accepted. Ryan is home visiting when Rob calls, and exclaims in relief, "Dammit, it was so hard keeping it in this long!"
His dads shout "Why didn't you say anything?!"
Ryan replies, "Because you two need less stress!"
"Dude, he's only eighteen! He's way too young!" Stan tells Kyle.
"You and Wendy exchanged promise rings at eighteen. That's an engagement in all but name," Kyle reminds him.
"Yes, but that lasted what? Nine months?" Stan scoffs.
"You were almost engaged at eighteen, Dad?" Ryan asks Stan. He's nice enough to his dads to get a couple of yearbooks pulled out from under the bed.
"Blonde," Ryan tells Rob later. "Bebe's blonde, curvy, hot, the biggest pair of Double D's ever. She looks like a fucking model, dude. Onto Wendy. Taller than average, long, flowing black hair, pretty face. I'll take pics of them and text them to you. You must see the girls our dads dated. I'll also send you pics of when our dads were ten, of Uncle Kenny in that parka, of Uncle Cartman being as big as a house, and Uncle Butters looking like a total dork!"
Rob's break is too short to justify buying a train ticket to DC, so he and Ashley spend Thanksgiving with Cartman, Heidi, and their two children, both girls. One is a year older than Ryan and Rob, and the other is a year younger.
Stan and Kyle's house is full of Ryan's college friends, Ike, his wife, and their son. The students love Stan's books and are entranced by Kyle's "fucking awesome" political job. One student tries to get into a political discussion with Kyle, but Stan cuts that short, insisting on "no politics at dinner," because it would be nice to escape from it for at least an hour.
