The plane starts to descend to the ground and a nauseous feeling hits me. It's like being in an elevator but 10 times worse, but I'm finally on the ground. Finally on South Park soil.

The plane continues to the next terminal where we get off and collect our cargo. The other strangers quickly leave with their bags and I wonder where they have to go. Family? A business trip? Just on a vacation? I wonder if they could guess where my next destination is. Already knowing how this airport is set up I begin towards the exit, and there I see my Ma. She sees me and throws her hand up in the air and begins waving frantically, like I can't see her.

"Kyle! Honey I'm right here!" I smile and shake my head. It's good to see her. I walk up to her and she embraces me in a big ma hug. Hugging her back, I let her warmth seep in. I'm already affected by this damn cold and I'm not even outside yet.

"Hi, ma."

"Hi, my butt. Let's get in the car, it's already running with the heater on, you look like you're about to freeze to death. You should've brought a heavier jacket!"

"Yeah, I must've forgot how cold it is."

"Oh honey, you weren't gone for that long."

It feels like forever.

-8-8-8-8-

The car ride isn't long at all and before I know it we're already pulled up in front of the house. It looks exactly the same of course. That brings me some comfort. Ma hasn't stopped asking me questions about college so it's a nice relief when she said,

"Let's get in the house and eat some good dinner. Dad's been finishing it up for me while I came to get you."

I open the car door and the cold came crashing into me. Damn, I feel like a baby now because I can't take this winter. How did I use to play outside all the time? I rush to the house and my Ma laughs at me. I keep the door open for her and shut it after she walks in. We take our coats off and hang them up on the coat hanger next to the door. The hallway looks the same. A mirror and right under it is a small table with a couple pictures of our family. Shoes lined up on the other side of the wall. There's a lot of shoes here... I wonder who's here. I take mine off and head to the kitchen. It smells amazing. Corned beef and cabbage. Classic, Ma. It's gonna be so damn good. I can't wait to dig in.

"Hey, son!" My dad stirs the food in a pot before coming over to me and giving me a hug. His hugs are good too. We got a hugging family.

"Hey, Dad. It's good to be back, and that smells fantastic."

"Oh, that's all your Mom. She did everything, I was just keeping it warm." I smiled at him.

"Yeah, I hear ya."

"Why don't you grab some plates for us, it's about ready."

I go over to the cabinet and grab four plates for us and ask,

"Who's all here?"

My Ma who's already in the kitchen, grabbing silverware answered,

"I forgot to tell you honey, you're two friends are here. Eric and Stan. I invited them to dinner because I know you'd love to see them."

My jaw nearly drops to the floor. Holy shit they're here already? I wasn't expecting to see them so soon. Fucking Cartman is here too? Fat ass is probably only here for the food.

"I knew you'd be excited. You're speechless! Tell you what, go say hi to them and your father and I will get everything ready. Go on now." She grabs the plates from the stiff hands and grabs two more plates. Ah shit...

My hearts beating fast for some reason now. I slowly move out of the kitchen and move into the living room. They weren't in there. Then I suddenly heard Ike laughing and I figured they were in Ike's room. I moved to the hallway and hesitated for a second. I can hear Stan talking and Ike laughing again. Stan's voice has gotten deeper, or maybe it seems that way because I haven't heard it in so long. That encouraged me to go forward. I want to see them all. Without knocking I bust open the door and Stan and Ike looked at me, while Cartman's too busy playing on the Xbox.

"Kyle!" Ike jumps up off the floor and runs at me and envelopes me in another Broflovski hug. I hug him back. How I missed this little tyke.

"Big brother's home." I ruffle his dark hair and he head butts my gut.

"Hey." I rub my stomach in mock pain.

"What was the for, Tyke?"

He pouts and furrows his brow.

"You weren't here for my Bar mitzvah, Kyle!" He crosses his arm, waiting for an explanation. I don't think I can give him a good one.

"I'm sorry, Tyke. I can't make up for that but I'm here now, and you know what? We're gonna hang out everyday so we can make the most of it." I pick his heavy ass up and lift him above my head. He laughs and squeals as I spin around.

"Pssh, he doesn't want to hang with your lame ass." Cartman finally speaks up from the game and puts the controller down.

"Hey to you too fat ass." Ike ignores him and when I put him down he looks up at me with a big grin.

"You mean it?"

"Of course I do. I missed you buddy." I ruffled his hair again and look over at Stan. He's been smiling this whole time at us. He finally got up from Ike's bed and walked over to me. We looked at each other and he put me in a tight head lock.

"We'll it's about damn time you showed up, Kyle Broflovski." I laugh and his grip tightens on me, blocking my air way. Gotta put them work outs to use, he don't know yet. I break out of it and reverse it on him, now with his head between my arms.

"Good to see you too, Stan Marsh." And I meant it with my whole being. I really missed these guys. Even fat ass over there. Stan taps on my arm and I release him. I feel giddy inside. Back at my home. I feel like I belong here. Then Stan punches me with his full force on my bicep. It actually kinda hurt.

"Damn, man."

"You know you deserve it for missing Ike's big day. You're lucky you didn't get worse. Kenny and Cartman been planning to pull a prank on you ever since they new you were coming."

I glare over at Cartman and he smirks evilly.

"Yeah, what happened with that, and where is Kenny?"

Stan wiggled his eyebrows and smirked.

"He's with his girlfriend now, and they couldn't come up with anything. Not even the all mighty Cartman."

Cartman blew out a sigh and shrugged.

"I'm at my wits end, but that don't mean you're safe, Broflovski." I laughed and put my hands up.

"I'll keep that in mind, Fat ass."

"Sleep with one eye open." Stan and I laugh at his threat and Ma calls out that dinner's ready.

I put a hand on Ike's shoulder and we all go out to the dinning room where all our plates are set up. The whole table is full of amazing smelling food that fills the room. This is a good welcoming back party. Surrounded by people I love, we all had a boisterous, delicious dinner which filled not only my stomach, but also my heart.
