Description: Part one of three. Stan is arrested by the police after the events of the previous episode, while Cartman tries to rekindle with his relationship to Heidi for the school dance.

"Okay Children, we have an announcement today. This Friday is our school dance. Now, I know that you're still upset over what happened to Stan or Wendy's refusal to go to school because of it, but let's try an make our day." Garrison announced.

After school...

"Do you think Stan is ever going back to school?" Kyle said to Clyde.

"I don't know, the police are pretty serious." Clyde said.

Unlike when Butters committed "suicide" and returned, everyone felt bad for Stan. Wendy in particular was the worst. She had suffered from a severe depressive episode. It had gotten so bad, some students rumored that Wendy was admitted to a mental clinic. That wasn't true at all. She had recently learned that Stan was going to be escorted to a new prison since the police was aware that Wendy visited him far too many times.

Stan sat in the backseat of the police car. The police were taking him far away from South Park to another prison in another city. Suddenly, the car stopped.

"Why did we stop?" The officer said.

The officers went out of the car to look. All of its tires were flat. Behind that car was a road spike.

"Damn it, we must've ran it over." The officer said.

"I'll radio another car." The officer's partner said, taking out his radio. "Damn it, no signal."

SHHHK!

The police officer was out cold on the ground.

"Larry?" The officer's partner said.

SHHHHKKK!

The police officer's partner was on the ground too. Stan noticed the keys were in his reach. He reached for the unconscious officer's keys and freed himself. He ran into the woods just as more police cars arrived.

The next day...

Cartman knocked onto the door of Heidi's house. Heidi came to open it. She saw Cartman and closed the door, but not before Cartman stopping it with his foot.

"What are you doing here?" Heidi grunted.

"I just want to ask you out to the dance." Cartman asked.

"No." Heidi said, shutting the door.

Cartman tried again later, this time with flowers. Heidi still shut the door.

Stan saw a nearby gas station with a pay phone. He couldn't call his parents, so he decided to call Wendy. All around South Park news of Stan Marsh's escape from the police can been seen on TV and online. The two gas station owners recognized Stan and took out their guns. But first they waited until Stan punched the dials to Wendy's house.

Wendy's parents were very concerned for their daughter. She hasn't left her room in over two days. "Stan" was muttered under her breath. He has to be safe, she thought. Then Wendy's phone started ringing, Wendy looked at it and saw Stan's number. She quickly picked it up.

"Stan, Stan! Oh my god! What happened?!" She gasped.

"Wendy, I escaped from the police. I need to know if you're safe or not. How's school going for you?"

"I can't go to school, Stan." Wendy whimpered. "I'm so worried about you!"

"I know, Wendy. I'm not coming back for a while."

"NO! Don't hang up!" Wendy cried.

Both of them were on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, the police could listen in on their calls. The location of the call was at a gas station in the middle of the woods.

"We have our Stan." The police said.

Back at Wendy's house, Wendy was staring to weep.

"I have to leave now, I love you." Stan said as he hung up.

"Stan, Stan! I love you too." She croaked.

Stan looked behind him without turning around. The gas station owners had their guns pointed to Stan's back.

"Stay right where you are." The owner said. "The police will come for you shortly."

"I would say the same thing for you too." A voice said.

Four unknown figures ambushed the gas station owners from behind too. The owners quickly surrendered.

"Take my money, please don't hurt me!" The owner begged.

The owner was quickly knocked out along with the other owner. The four people took Stan away as the police arrived. One took out a needle and injected Stan with it. Stan felt the world getting all fuzzy. Then he closed his eyes.

Heidi saw a note slid under her door.

Meet me at the park.

Heidi went to the park. She saw Cartman sitting on the bench.

"What do you want, Cartman?" Heidi said.

"I just want you to go out with me for the school dance this Friday." Cartman replied.

"Cartman, it's really nice for you to ask me out for the dance, but after what you did to me the last time we were together, I cannot forgive you." Heidi sighed.

Heidi walked home from the park. Cartman watched her from a distance.

Heidi got back into her house and went to her room. She did break up with him. But it made her feel like an outcast again. And after getting thrown out of the girls club over one little paycheck, she felt that being a good, sweet little girl wasn't good for her anymore. Maybe Cartman has changed, she thought. He hadn't planned any bad schemes for a while. And he had stopped the war between the boys and girls. Most of the problems were caused by Gerald Brofloski. If it weren't for SkankHunt42, she wouldn't have quit Twitter or threw her phone over the bridge. That's it, she thought. She was eventually going to forgive Cartman. She walked up to her phone and turned it on. She was going to send a text to Cartman and things would be over. Then...

"Guess what?" A friend texted to Heidi.

It was from Nicole Maguire, her old pen pal in Mexico. Heidi deleted her message to Cartman to text Nicole back.

"What?"

"I found your uncle!"

"WHAT WHAT WHAT"

"Tell your parents and if they say yes, I'll pick you up this Friday."

Later at dinner...

"Mom, Dad, I need to tell you about something." Heidi said, putting a piece of fish in her mouth.

"What is it, dear?" Mrs. Turner said.

"I need to go to Mexico, Nicole is picking me up." Heidi said.

Everyone stopped eating.

"Nicole is a horrible person!" Mr. Turner said. "She does nothing!"

"I found my uncle." Heidi said.

"No!" Both of them yelled.

"That uncle never liked you." Mr. Turner said. "He never came to your aunt's funeral."

"He said he was stuck in traffic." Heidi said.

"Stuck in traffic is the worst excuse ever for a family problem." Mr. Turner added.

"Fine, I won't go." Heidi grunted.

That Friday...

"Wendy still hasn't shown up to school yet?" Clyde asked to Kyle.

"Yeah, and Cartman has gotten silent about the dance." Kyle said.

"I'm pretty sure Stan's okay." Clyde said.

Stan regained consciousness. When he woke up, the four shadowed figures revealed their faces to him. He gasped as everything cut to black.

That night...

It was the school dance in the gym. Everyone dressed formally. Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Clyde sat together on a table.

"Who are you going to dance with, Clyde?" Kyle asked.

"With Jenny." Clyde said. "Oh look, here she comes now."

Clyde left to dance with Jenny.

"What about you, Kenny?"

(Kelly. I heard she moved here.)

Kelly arrived in a limo driven by own of her friends.

(Oh, there she is now!)

Cartman watched as Kyle danced with Bebe. They were twirling in perfect unison. Kevin Stoley and Red were on each other and Token and Nicole were embracing each other. He sighed as he munched on another cupcake and washed it down with fruit punch. That was when Cartman noticed Heidi in an emerald-green dress sitting all alone in a corner. Now it was his chance.

"Hey, Heidi." Cartman said.

"Oh, hey Cartman." Heidi said.

"You wanna dance?" Cartman said.

"It's very sweet of you, Cartman, but I can't..."

"Why? You don't know how to? I don't how to dance either."

"That's not what I-"

Cartman yanked her and did very sick dance moves. The students stopped dancing and watched Cartman in shock. He twirled Heidi very quickly almost as if she was spinning on her own. He did every single ballroom dance move he saw on TV and the movies. It ended with Cartman literally throwing Heidi up in the air and catching her.

"TA-DA!" He said.

Everyone stood with their mouths hanging open. Even the chaperones.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK, KIDS?!" Cartman said.

Everyone backed away from Cartman. Heidi pulled herself away from Cartman.

"Look, Cartman. I know you want me, but you can't always get me. You never know what we girls think. You just care about yourself!" Heidi accused.

Heidi stormed away from the gym. Cartman slunked his head and went back to his table.

The next morning...

Wendy finally learned to move on without Stan. She got herself changed and walked all the way down to breakfast. Her parents were not there.

"Mom? Dad?" She asked.

They must've left for work. She got outside and walked to the park. Everything looked like a ghost town. No one was there. She went to the park bench and sat down. Then she noticed something on the ground. Stan's hat. She ran over and picked it up. Then...

WHACK!

Wendy was knocked unconscious.

"Got you." A voice said.

Wendy woke up and found her arms tied behind her back. She was loaded into a wooden box on the back of a pickup truck

"Enjoy your little nap?" A voice said.

"Fuck you, asshole!" Wendy said, struggling to break free.

"You woke up just in time. We'll be heading to Mexico." The voice taunted.

"Not until the border patrol deals with you!" Wendy said back.

"Oh, they won't deal with me. With help from a couple of friends, the patrol won't think on checking my car twice!"

"You won't get away with this!" Wendy said.

Wendy struggled and slammed herself repeatedly on the box to free herself.

"Oh my child, I have!"
