As I finished the story of my past, I looked back to Butters. He was looking at me with wide eyes filled with fear, sympathy, astonishment, and rage. I waved my hand in front of his face for the second time that night in an attempt to elicit a reaction.

"Yoo-hoo. Earth to Butters."

Butters continued to stare at me, his eyes shining once more. "All of that…happened to you…and you were only FIVE?!" he asked/exclaimed, his voice cracking at the end. I just nodded. Butters' breath caught in his throat. He reached out hesitantly, toward the left side of my face, unsure of what I would allow. When his hand didn't move, I took hold of his wrist, guiding it to the scar on my eye. Seeming surprised, he gently ran his thumb across the area above my eye, as if trying not to hurt me. He cupped my face in his hands and I leaned into it, closing my eyes, appreciating the gentle touch.

"I-I'm sorry, Sage." Butters said, moving his thumb to the area below my eye. I looked at him in confusion.

"What are you sorry for, Butters?" I asked him, "None of this is your fault."

A tear ran down his face as he scooted closer to me. "I'm sorry…that you had to go through all that. And that I made you relive it." His breath caught again and he had to stop talking. His hand fell from my face and I caught it, pulling him into an embrace.

"I relive those memories every time I see this scar, every time the sight activates, and every time I go to sleep. Telling you of my past has not increased my pain. In fact, it has lessened it." I told him.

Butters looked up at me, wiping the tears from his eyes. "R-Really?" he asked, sniffling. I smiled, gently pressing my lips to his.

"Would I lie to you?" I asked when we separated.

Butters laughed. "That's so cliché."

"There's a reason people use them so much." I replied, "They work."

Butters nodded happily, resting his forehead against mine.

"So…are we a couple now?" I asked him, slightly nervous.

Butters opened his eyes and looked around, humming to himself in feigned contemplation, before reconnecting our lips.

"What do you think?" he whispered into the kiss. I smiled.

"I think I'm not the only one using clichés." I muttered in reply. He just laughed, kissing me again.

As we pulled away, I collapsed onto the bed, breathing hard.

"Are you okay, Sage?" Butters asked, suddenly concerned.

"I'm fine. Just tired." I replied, yawning, "Today's been strenuous, and I haven't spoken this much in years."

Butters smiled and nodded, curling up next to me and pulling the covers over both of us. He also turned off the lamp that had been the only source of light for much of the conversation (we'd changed into our pajamas while I recounted my past).

"Goodnight, Sage." Butters said happily, draping an arm over my waist and resting his head against my chest.

"Goodnight, Butters." I whispered, wrapping my arms around my new boyfriend and holding him close, my nose buried in his soft golden hair, inhaling his scent with every breath. Happier than I had been in years, I drifted off into a peaceful sleep, looking forward to another day in South Park. Unfortunately, the peace didn't last long.

Somewhere around one in the morning, a bright blue light filled my room, waking me instantly. I looked at Butters. He was still asleep. I then looked around, trying to find the source of the blue light. Suddenly, my bedroom door began to open and a skinny gray figure appeared in the doorway.

I leaned over Butters, making it clear to the figure that I wasn't going to let it take him. However, it made no move to take Butters. Instead, it grabbed me by the arm and lifted me, along with itself, with a beam of light, leaving Butters undisturbed. The gray figure and I were beamed up to…a spaceship?! Holy shit! I'm being abducted by aliens!

As I was being brought on board the ship, we passed by several tables where different men were having metal things shoved up their butts in a way that seemed to mimic anal sex (one of the men seemed to be enjoying it). The gray figures dragged me to an empty table and strapped me to it, pulling my pajama bottoms down. Oh, come on. I'm REALLY not in the mood.

As they inserted one of the metal things into my ass, I clenched my sphincter tightly, unleashing a powerful Dragonshout that destroyed the metal thing. The aliens, seeming frustrated, summoned a large black metal thing to replace the one I had destroyed. This one was much stronger, and as it began to slip in, I panicked and unleashed an even more powerful Dragonshout that destroyed not only the metal thing, but the whole machine. The aliens fled, and the portion of the metal thing that wasn't destroyed implanted itself in my anus, out of the way of the main passage. After a little test, I realized that I could control it using my sphincter muscles.

"Is this your first time getting probed?" a voice said from beside me. I looked to see a middle-aged man with black hair and a mustache. He was strapped to a table as well, with a small metal thing (a probe) behind him, although it was currently inactive.

"Yeah, it's a pain. But this is the kind of stuff you put up with living in a remote little mountain town. At least we don't have to deal with traffic!" he said, smiling. Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose.

He then took another look at me and his eyes widened. "Hey, you broke free! Kid, you must have incredible control over your asshole! Get me loose, too!" he cried, struggling half-heartedly against his bonds.

I jumped off the table, only to find that it was surrounded by a barrier. I looked around and noticed a metal rod with a blue antennae sticking out of it. I could feel the alien probe in my ass reacting to it, so I activated the probe, using my sphincter muscles to make the small satellite dish (the probe) react with the antennae. Next thing I knew, I was on the other side of the barrier.

"Hey, look at that!" the man cried, "Looks like you've broken off part of the probe and now you can control it with your sphincter muscles!" The man looked around him. "I'm surrounded by some kind of force field. Go find a way to shut it off!" I looked at him and nodded in acknowledgement before walking out into the hallway. After knocking out several aliens with an alien gun I stole, I found the Control room, where I battled against the head of alien security. After defeating him, I deactivated the force field and freed the man (I soon learned that his name was "Randy"). He offered to show me how to get back to Earth, but I declined, telling him (via typing) to free the other captives and then leave.

I may have neglected to mention this, but I have a very vengeful nature. I was going to make these aliens pay for interrupting my much-needed sleep (and for sodomizing me, can't forget that). Making my way to the cockpit, I knocked out the two pilots and set the ship on a collision course with Earth. I aimed for the shopping center in South Park, since there was a large uninhabited area right around it, so no one would get hurt. I then found a button that would beam me back down to Earth and, after checking the cameras to make sure everyone had gotten off safely, I was enveloped in a bright blue light, just like the one that had brought me up to the ship. When the light faded, I was back in my room.

Butters was still asleep, but he looked like he was reaching for something, and was upset when he couldn't find it. I smiled. I knew what he was looking for. I yawned, stashing the alien gun that I had stolen in my toy chest, and crawled back into bed next to Butters, who wrapped his arms around me the moment I got settled. I looked at the clock. 2:00a.m. Good, I can still get a few good hours of sleep. I looked at Butters. He seemed much happier now. I gently stroked his hair, placing a kiss on his forehead, which elicited a soft moan from the boy as he snuggled closer to me. I smiled and relaxed, closing my eyes and drifting off into a peaceful slumber once more.
