Chapter 5: A funeral

Cartman was busy getting ready for the date of the life time. Today would be the day where he would finally take out Babe. He had grown up and actually become more mature since his younger days. At the age of 16, he was now going out with the popular girl in school. He had even gone as far as buying Babe a little necklace with the initials C loves B. It had a tiny heart on it. He even wrote her a note. It goes as follows:

Dearest Babe,

Over these past few years since you broke up with Kyle, you have really made my life very special. I never got around to saying this but I Love you Babe. Our nights out were really special. I would come home feeling really good about myself. I bought you a necklace to show you how special you are to me. So here is to a good night together. I love you Babe.

With Much love,

Eric Theodore Cartman

He decorated it a little bit and then put it in an envelope. Nothing would bring him down tonight. At least that was before the doorbell rang. Putting down the box with the envelope, he went over to the door and opened it. Stan Kyle and Kenny were standing outside the door. "What are you guys doing here? Is it important my date with Babe is almost here? I bought her a present. Guys, what is wrong?" Cartman noticed that the look on Stan, Kyle and Kenny's face was rather grim. "Uh Cartman we have something to tell you. It will upset you. Uh babe s-she uh she uh was uh killed." Cartman could not hear correctly. "Stan did you say that Babe was killed?" Cartman could not believe this. It was not happing. He refused to believe it. "It's true Cartman. We saw her, we thought you were with her. So went to her house and then…." That was as far as he got. Cartman ran out of the house. This was not happing. Babe was not dead. She could not be dead. He was going to go out with her. He had made it to her house. Not bothering to knock he burst through the door. He went up the stairs and found her room. HE opened the door and looked around.

On the floor was Babe. She had a hole in her stomach and her throat had been slit. Cartman stared at the dead body. He knelt down so that he was on the floor with her. Then slowly the tears came. He did not hear Stan Kyle and Kenny come in. He reached out and touched her. She was dead. No more will they spend time together. No more will he hear Babe's laugh. She was gone. He was now in a crying fit. He would not leave her. He was crying so hard now that he could not breathe. Stan walked over to Cartman and said, "I know Cartman. She was a good friend to us all. Cartman could not hear him. Kenny then tried to get Cartman to stand up. Cartman then said, "What kind of asshole would kill her. She was so beautiful and pure? Why would they do such a thing?" Kyle then knew what he had to do. "She was murdered by that killer Jason." Cartman gasped. "I thought he was dead." "He was, but somehow he came back." Kenny said. Cartman then stopped crying. He got up and declared in a low and dangerous voice, "I will make that son of a bitch suffer. I will get my revenge if it is the last thing I do. I will kill whoever did this or die trying." Cartman then walked out of the room with Stan Kyle and Kenny behind him.

A day later, a funeral was held for Babe. Cartman was in the front row and he had a rose. He had the necklace that he was going to give to Babe. When it was his turn to dedicate something to Babe, he nearly lost it. He staggered on up to the podium and said, "I was always there for Babe. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was going to give her this necklace but now that she is gone I will now place this necklace in the casket." With that he went over to the casket and placed the necklace inside. After that he lost it. He broke down crying. Kyle came over and comforted him.

When Cartman was in his bed trying very hard to sleep, he felt a cold breeze. He opened his eyes, and gasped at what he saw. There was Babe in a beautiful dress. She smiled at him and Cartman got out of bed to see her. "I miss you so much," he said. She smiled again. She put a hand to his face and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you Eric. I want you to avenge me. Kill that bastard that killed me. If you want me to I will visit you every night. Good Bye Cartman." With that she faded from view.

Cartman cried again then slowly crawled back into bed. As he was under the covers, he could have sworn that invisible hands wrapped themselves around Cartman as in a hug. He then went to bed knowing that everything was going to be alright.

I told you it was going to be sad. By this time you might have tears in your eyes or trying to refrain yourself from crying. Read and review for me. I will work on the next chapter in the meantime. Take care now.
