Disclaimer: I don't own South Park. I'm not that lucky.
A/N: This is a little mini series that I came up with about my two favorite South Park characters, Kenny and Cartman. This first part takes place after the episode when Chef takes Cartman to his parents' house to get Kenny's soul taken out of him and he gets stuck in the pot roast. Man, I really felt sorry for Kenny in that episode. Let me take this time to warn you all now though, this will be a gay fic. Yes, a gay fic between Kenny and cartman. I've always noticed how close those were, despite the insults and the ill treatment between them. I'm sure you all noticed how Cartman took a shit when Chef said that the pot roast with Kenny's soul was left in the airport. It always seemed to me that they shared a special and deep friendship. That's why I thought it would be cool to do a fic about Kenny and Cartman as lovers. Now, older fans would probably understand (somewhat) where I'm coming from, whereas the newer fans might say something like, "that's sick, Libby!" Or, "Cartman and Kenny aren't gay! Thay always rag on gay people, like Mr. Garrison!" Well, like Chef said in the Death Camp of Tolerance episode, "There's gay people, and there's Mr. Garisson." Well, keep in mind that the next part will progress 8 years into the future when the boys are about 16. Cartman will have matured a bit by then. Well, if you don't feel comfortable reading about gay relationships, then I strongely suggest that you do not read this mini series, and if you do, please be mature about it. If not, then don't say I didn't give you a fair warning. If you flame me, hey that's ok, I'll just laugh and continue writing anyway. Well, with all that bullshit (finally) out of the way, on with the story.
[Outside Cartman's house]
Cartman and his mom pull up into their drive way. After they park, we see a very depressed Cartman get out of the passenger seat. Liane opens the door and Cartman goes straight to his room.
[Inside Cartman's room]
"Damn-it! I don't fucking believe this shit! I wanted Kenny soul out of me so that we could find him another body so that he could live again! Not have him eaten by Rob Schneider! Damn-it! Now I may never get to see him again! Poor Kenny, he was so exicted about being alive again! We were even gonna surprise Stan and Kyle, but now, everything's ruined!" Cartman exclaimed.
He hits his pillow with his fist before breaking into tears. He throws his head into his pillow and starts crying and sobbing hard.
[Knocking can be heard outside Cartman's door.]
"Eric hun, are you alright?" Liane asked.
"Yes, mom. I'm just a little tired, that's all." Cartman said.
He sniffs and wipes a few tears away with his sleeve.
"Well, dinner's ready hun." Liane said.
Cartman sighs and sits up.
"No thanks mom. I'm not really hungry right now. I just wanna sleep for a little while." Cartman said.
"Oh, ok hun. Come down and eat whenever you fell up to it." Liane said.
"ok, mom." Cartman said.
[Footsteps can be heard walking away.]
Cartman dug his head into his pillow and began to cry again.
"Kenny, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for things to be this way." Cartman whispered.
[ouside Cartman's room]
Liane comes back with a plate of food in her hands. She opens the door and finds that Cartman had fallen asleep. She sighs and places the plate on his nightstand. She moved some hair away from his eyes and saw that his face was tearstained and that his pillow was damp.
"Oh, my poor baby. He's really upset about the loss of his little friend. I wish there was something I could do. I hate seeing him like this." Liane said to herself.
Liane puts the bed covers over Cartman, kisses him on the forehead and gets up. She gets to the door and turns on a little nightlight. She leaves and closes the door behind her.
[Outside Cartman's room]
Liane walks downstairs and the phone rings just as she gets to the kitchen.
"Oh, now who can that be at this hour?" Liane asked herself.
She walks up to the phone and picks up the reciever.
"Hello, Cartman residence." Liane said.
The screen splits in half and Chef can be seen on the other end.
"Mrs. Cartman? It's Chef. How's Eric holding out?" Chef asked.
Oh, not good, I'm afraid! He's really upset! He went straight to his room and cried himself to sleep! He won't even eat!" Liane exclaimed.
"Oh, my god! Eric's not eating?! Oh, this is serious!" Chef exclaimed.
"Oh Chef, what am I gonna do? Eric is my whole world, I don't what I'd do if anything were to ever happen to him. I can just imagine how poor Susan McCormick must feel. She really loved her son and she lost him to a terrible illness." Liane said.
"Yeah, that was really sad. Kenny was a good kid. I feel bad for the family, too. Well, I really don't know what to tell you Liane, expect to just give Eric a little time. Give him a chance to grieve the loss, I'm sure he'll come around sooner or later." Chef said.
"Oh, I do hope you're right, Chef." Liane said.
"Well, tomorrow is Salisbury Steak day at school. Maybe that'll cheer up a bit." Chef said.
"Yes. Maybe it will." Liane said.
"Well, don't worry about it, Liane. He'll come around evenually, you'll see. Eric's a strong boy, and he's got two other really great friends who'll help him get through this." Chef said.
"Yes, Stan and Kyle are both really good boys, as well." Liane said.
"Well Liane, I'm going to let you go. Just called to see how you two were doing." Chef said.
"Alright, Chef. Goodnight, and thank you so much for everything." Liane said.
"No problem. Goddnight Liane." Chef said.
"Bye Chef." Liane said.
They hang up the screen becomes whole again.
[Chef's room]
"I hope Eric's gonna be alright. He Took Kenny's death pretty damn hard. I always knew that deep down inside, Eric really did care about Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. He just won't admit to it openly. Not yet, anyways. I hope I see him at school tommorow." Chef said.
Chef turns off his light and goes to bed.
[Cartman's house]
Liane goes up to Cartman's room to check up on him one more time.
[inside Cartman's room]
Liane walks in and notices that the plate of food is half eaten. She sighs in relief.
"Well, at least he ate something. Thank god." Liane said.
Liane picks up the plate and is about to walk out when she hears Cartman moan softly. She turns around to find Cartman wiping eyes.
"Mom?" Cartman asked in a soft whisper.
"Yes baby? What is it?" Liane aasked.
"Can I have a glass of water, please?" Cartman asked.
"Of course, hun. You wait here. I'll be right back." Liane said.
"Thanks mom." Cartman said.
Liane leaves and Cartman lies back down. He just stars at the ceiling for a moment, and smiles as a thought hits him.
"This isn't over yet, Kenny. Your soul is still within another body, so there's still a chance I could bring you back. One day, I'll find a way to bring you back. Then everything will be right again." Cartman said.
He closes his eyes, and falls asleep again.
[Outside Cartman's room]
Liane is coming upstairs with a glass of water. She opens the door to find that Cartman has fallen asleep again. She puts the glass on his nightstand and smiles when she notices the peaceful look on Cartman's face.
"Rest baby. You've been through a rough day, but everything will alright, I promise you." Liane said.
She kisses him on the forehead and leaves the room.
[Next day at the bus stop]
Stan and Kyle are there waiting for the bus to show up.
"Dude, I hope Cartman's okay. He looked so sad yesterday." Stan said.
"Yeah, he and Kenny were really close, just we are." Kyle said.
"I hope he comes to school today. It's Salibury Steak day, after all." Stan said.
"Me too. I'm really worried about him. I've never seen that depressed about anything before." Kyle. said.
sTAN and Kyle are so caught up in their conversation that they don't notice Cartman walk up to them.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Cartman aasked in a low voice.
Stan and Kyle turn around and gasp.
"Cartman, you scared the crap out of us. Are you alright? You looked really down yesterday." Stan asked.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Cartman said.
"Are you sure, dude? You don't look too well." Kyle said.
Cartman nods.
"I'll manage." Cartman said.
[Just then, the bus arrives.]
"COME ON, WE'RE RUNNING REALLY LATE!!!! GET IN AND SHUT UP!!!!!!" Miss Crabtree exclaimed.
"Whatever you fat bitch." Stan muttered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Miss Crabtree exclaimed.
"I said I have a bad itch/" Stan said.
"Oh." Miss Crabtree said.
Stan and Kyle look to their right to find Cartman looking out the window. Cartman sighes and leans his head again the window.
"Dude, I'm really worried about Cartman. When we get to school, we have to convince Mr. Garisson to make Cartman go home. He can't be out in the cold in this condition." Kyle whispered.
"Yeah, you're right, dude. He could get really sick. He looks like he hasn't eaten for days." Stan whispered back.
[The bus reaches the school]
"GET OFF!!!!" Miss Crabtree exclaimed.
The boys get off and join some of the other kids that are already in the shcool's play ground. Kyle grabs Stan's sleeve and pulls him to the side.
"Dude, let's take advantage now that we're actually early and talk to Mr. Garisson." Kyle said.
Stan nods and they walk into the school.
[Inside Mr. Garisson's classroom]
Mr. Garisson is oragnizing some papers getting ready for the day's lesson when Stan and Kyle walk in. Mr. Garisson sees them and actually smiles.
"Hello boys. Is something wrong?" Mr. Garisson said.
"well, Mr. Garisson, we were wondering if we could talk to you for a moment." Kyle said.
"Of course, boys. Sit down.
Stan and Kyle each take a sit and Mr. Garisson sits down as well.
"Now, what do you boys want to talk about?" Mr. Garisson asked.
"Well, it's about Cartman. You see, he's been really depressed since Kenny died. He looks like he hasn't eaten in a while and he's not cracking jokes about anyone, and he's not being an asshole anymore. We're really worried about him, Mr. Garisson." Stan said.
Mr. Garisson put a hand to his chin in thought.
"He looks really weak. You have to send home, Mr. Garisson. He'll get sick in this cold in his condition." Kyle said.
Mr. Garisson looks out the window and sees Cartman sitting in a corner by himself. He shakes his head and turns back to Kyle and Stan.
"You're right, boys. He shouldn't be out and about in that condition. I'll go call his mother right now." Mr. Garisson said.
"Thanks Mr. Garisson. Don't say we asked you to, though. We don't want him getting mad at us." Kyle said.
"Kyle, you're only looking out for his well being. He'll thank you in the long run. Trust me." Mr. Garisson said.
Kyle and Stan smile.
Now, you boys go on and enjoy the rest of the time you have left before class begins." Mr. Garisson said.
Kyle and Stan leave the classroom and Mr. Garisson looks out the window again.
"I'd better go call Liane and have her come get Eric now." Mr. Garisson said.
[Principle Victoria's office]
"Principle Victoria? Can I use the phone for a second, please?" Mr. Garisson asked.
"Why, of course you can, Mr. Garisson." Victoria said.
Mr. Garisson picked up the phone and dailed Liane's cellphone number.
[Supermarket]
Liane is looking through the clean products when she hears her cellphone ring. She digs through her purse and finally pills it out.
"Hello?" Liane said.
The screen splits in half again and this time Mr. Garisson can be seen on the other side.
Liane? It's Mr. Garisson. I'm calling regarding your son." Mr. Garisson said.
"What's wrong? He's not in trouble, is he?" Liane asked.
"No, no. Your son's not in trouble, but I do think you should come and pick him up. He doesn't look too well and should stay home." Mr. Garisson said.
"I told him the same thing, but he said that Kenny would have wanted him to go back to school." Liane said.
"Well, you better come pick him up, Liane. In his state, he's likely to get very sick. When was the last time he ate?" Mr. Garisson asked.
"He ate half a plate of food last night for the time in two days. I don't know what else to do, Mr. Garisson. I'm so worried about him." Liane said.
"Get him home and bundle him up. Give him plenty of Orange juice. Trust me on this, vitamin C will really do him some good. Make sure he gets plenty of sleep, and try to get him to eat something." Mr. Garisson said.
"Alright. I'm on my way. Thank you Mr. Garisson. Liane said.
They hang up and the screen becomes whole again.
[Supermarket]
I'll come back later and buy this stuff. Let me go get my baby home first." Liane said.
She puts the bottle of liquid cleaner back on the shelf and leaves the supermarket.
[Mr. Garisson's classroom.]
"Okay children. Settle down. Now today, we're going to practice our times tables. Can anyone tell me what 2 times 2 is?" Mr. Garisson asked.
Cartman raises his hand.
"Yes Eric." Mr. Garisson said.
"4." Cartman said.
"Very good Eric. Now, who can tell me what 3 times 3 is? Anybody?" Mr. Garisson asked.
Wendy is about to raise her hand when the door opens and Principle Victoria walks in.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your class, Mr. Garisson. Eric, your mother is here to pick you up." Victoria said.
"My mother? But why? I haven't done anything wrong today, have I?" Cartman asked.
"No, Eric. You didn't do anything wrong. I just noticed how weak and depressed you looked this morning and decided that it would be best if you stayed home and rest for a few days." Mr. Garisson said.
"But, Mr. Garisson..." Cartman's voice trailed off.
"No buts, Eric. You're gonna get sick if you go on like this. I'm sure Kenny wouldn't want that, now would he?" Mr. Garisson asked.
Cartman looks at him in shock for a moment, then puts his head down.
"No, Mr. Garisson." Cartman said.
"Exactly. Now, you go home, get some rest and do try to eat something. You need your nurishment, especailly now." Mr. Garrison said.
Cartman sighes. "Yes, Mr. Garisson." Cartman said.
He gets up from his seat and leaves the class with principle Victoria.
[Principle Victoria's office.]
Cartman and P. Victoria enter to find Liane waiting for them.
"Thanks for coming to pick him up, Liane." Victoria said.
"No, thank you. Come on, Eric. Let's get you home." Liane said.
They leave Victoria's office and exit the school.
[In the car.]
Cartman yawns and lays his back on the seat. He stays that way the whole ride home.
[Outside Cartman's house.]
"Hun, wake up. We're home." Liane said.
Cartman wakes up very groggy and moans softly. They get out of the car and go into the house.
[Inside Cartman's house]
"Now, you go get some sleep, hun. Lunch will be ready soon." Liane said.
"Okay, mom." Cartman said.
Cartman walks slowly upstairs and goes to his room.
[Inside Cartman's room]
Cartman lies down on his bed and sighs. He looks at his nightstand and finds an old picture of Kenny he took when he took his off. He smiles and picks up the picture.
"I remember this. It was during the war with Canada and Satan came to take over. Kenny took off his hood and finally showed us what he looked like. He was such a cute guy, why he always cover his face with that damn hood, I swear I'll never understand." Cartman said.
Cartman continues to stare fondly at the picture for a moment until the realization of his last statement hits him.
"Did I just say Kenny was cute? Man, maybe Mr. Garisson was right. Maybe I really do need to get some sleep." Cartman said.
Cartman puts the picture back, changes into his P.J.s and gets into bed.
[In the kitchen]
"Hmm. He's awfully quite. I wonder if he's already asleep." Liane said.
Liane walks upstairs and goes to Cartman's room.
[Inside Cartman's room]
Liane opens the door to find that has indeed, fallen asleep. She sighs and closes the door. Her footsteps can be heard walking away from Cartman's door. Cartman moans and turns on his side.
"Kenny. I'll bring you back, Kenny. I swear, one day, I'll find a way to bring you back." Cartman mumbled.
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N: So, what do you all think so far? Next episode, Cartman finds a book of incantations that contains a *Gasp* resurrection spell. Hee-Hee stay tuned. R/R.

"Yes Eric." Mr. Garisson said.
"4." Cartman said.
"Very good Eric. Now, who can tell me what 3 times 3 is? Anybody?" Mr. Garisson asked.
Wendy is about to raise her hand when the door opens and Principle Victoria walks in.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your class, Mr. Garisson. Eric, your mother is here to pick you up." Victoria said.
"My mother? But why? I haven't done anything wrong today, have I?" Cartman asked.
"No, Eric. You didn't do anything wrong. I just noticed how weak and depressed you looked this morning and decided that it would be best if you stayed home and rest for a few days." Mr. Garisson said.
"But, Mr. Garisson..." Cartman's voice trailed off.
"No buts, Eric. You're gonna get sick if you go on like this. I'm sure Kenny wouldn't want that, now would he?" Mr. Garisson asked.
Cartman looks at him in shock for a moment, then puts his head down.
"No, Mr. Garisson." Cartman said.
"Exactly. Now, you go home, get some rest and do try to eat something. You need your nurishment, especailly now." Mr. Garrison said.
Cartman sighes. "Yes, Mr. Garisson." Cartman said.
He gets up from his seat and leaves the class with principle Victoria.
[Principle Victoria's office.]
Cartman and P. Victoria enter to find Liane waiting for them.
"Thanks for coming to pick him up, Liane." Victoria said.
"No, thank you. Come on, Eric. Let's get you home." Liane said.
They leave Victoria's office and exit the school.
[In the car.]
Cartman yawns and lays his back on the seat. He stays that way the whole ride home.
[Outside Cartman's house.]
"Hun, wake up. We're home." Liane said.
Cartman wakes up very groggy and moans softly. They get out of the car and go into the house.
[Inside Cartman's house]
"Now, you go get some sleep, hun. Lunch will be ready soon." Liane said.
"Okay, mom." Cartman said.
Cartman walks slowly upstairs and goes to his room.
[Inside Cartman's room]
Cartman lies down on his bed and sighs. He looks at his nightstand and finds an old picture of Kenny he took when he took his off. He smiles and picks up the picture.
"I remember this. It was during the war with Canada and Satan came to take over. Kenny took off his hood and finally showed us what he looked like. He was such a cute guy, why he always cover his face with that damn hood, I swear I'll never understand." Cartman said.
Cartman continues to stare fondly at the picture for a moment until the realization of his last statement hits him.
"Did I just say Kenny was cute? Man, maybe Mr. Garisson was right. Maybe I really do need to get some sleep." Cartman said.
Cartman puts the picture back, changes into his P.J.s and gets into bed.
[In the kitchen]
"Hmm. He's awfully quite. I wonder if he's already asleep." Liane said.
Liane walks upstairs and goes to Cartman's room.
[Inside Cartman's room]
Liane opens the door to find that has indeed, fallen asleep. She sighs and closes the door. Her footsteps can be heard walking away from Cartman's door. Cartman moans and turns on his side.
"Kenny. I'll bring you back, Kenny. I swear, one day, I'll find a way to bring you back." Cartman mumbled.
