Chapter 9, Dream Scape

The picninc area was cleaned up and left in the distance as everyone walked back to Stans house. Everyone was laughing at the days events and how they where all glad Abby had shown up the day before because she was so much fun. All except Abby and Kyle where laughing. They both really liked each other but niether where brave enough to make the first real move. Abby had shown her affection for Kyle in the kisses they had shared that morning but, she was still afraid to acually ask him out on a date.

Kyle felt horrible, he could tell she was scared, but he couldnt stop the joke...he thought she was just playing around with him and doing her part of the joke. He stiffed his hands in his pant pokets and looked up at the grey cloudy sky. Wishing he could go back in time and make it better. He never meant to scare her so bad. He closed his eyes and kept his face pointed up.

Abby looked upwards at the boy she walked next to. She looked closer at the boy. He had fair skin, like hers, but his had freckles. She didn't. His emerald green eyes always stopped her heart slightly, the way he smiled made her body tingle and her knees shake. His hair was curly, but not to curly, and she liked the color of red it was. He was wearing baggy jeans and a balck hoodie. His trademark green hat was left at Stans house.

Abby shivered slightly feeling the cold breeze on her bare arms. She was still looking up at Kyle and snapped her head back down at the ground, still blushing. Stan and Cartman came bounding over towards them.

"Oh ho ho, whats this then, looks like Jew Boy over here is blushing." Cartman poked Kyles cheek playfully.

Stan jumped to the other side of Kyle and pushed the boy gently, into Abby. Abby jumped when he hit her. She dropped the picnic basket on the ground. Its contents slightly disturbed by the short drop and sudden stop.

"Now guys!" Stan yelled at the group of boys bounding towards the two on the ground.

Abby and Kyle both stood up at the same time and started to run from the boys. Craig stepped out infront of them with Tweek latched onto his arm. Thier feet collided with the ground as they skidded to a stop. The two turned around and ran to the right, only to find Token and Clyde standing there, they turned back around to see Kenny and Butters guarding the path they had come down. The only way to run was left, so they did. Both knew that if Stan and Cartman had planned something together then it couldnt be good for them.

They ran as fast as they could, all the boys following accordingly. Butters and Kenny both pushed Kyle and Abby onto a puddle of thick ice. The two lurched forward, slipping on the cold ice beneath them. Abby started to fall and dragged Kyle down with her. Kyle landed ontop of her, finding his lips pressed against hers. Unintentionally caught once again in her lips. All the boys laughed as the two figures lay frozen on the ice.

Abby closed her eyes when she felt his lips on hers, she felt like she couldnt be happier where she was. He was so close to her. And he wasnt moving. She reached up and wrapped her arms around him as he slowly pulled away. Both blushed slightly. Abby leaned forward as he sat up on his knees pulling her up with him. He looked into her pale blue eyes. They where so perfect. He could melt in them. But, he felt it would be to inapropriate to Stan, and it would be wierd if he asked her out.

All fell silent when everyone heard a sniffing noise comming from beyond the two subltle lovers. All eyes fell on a thick cover of brush that shook quietly in the setting suns path. Kyle got up and pulled Abby to her feet. Abby ran over causiously to the bush and peeked through it. A Blonde boy sat in the bushes crying slightly. His hair was not much longer than shoulder length. He was wearing a red and black coat and jean shorts that where roughly cut above the knee. At his feet lay a dying animal, but Abby wasnt sure what it was, it almost looked like a puppy. Abby walked through the bushes approaching the boy silently. The other didnt follow her.

She sat next to the boy and patted his shoulder calmly as snow fell from the clouds above the sunset. Unowingly he colapsed into her arms and wept. She patted his hair as he lay in her lap crying. kyle, Stan and Cartman approached the bushed where the crying was comming from. They broke through the thick brush to find Abby nursing the crying seventeen year old Pip Pirrup.

Pip jumped up when he noticed he was not alone. He looked into the face of the girl who had comforted him, she smilled lightly and spoke softly as Kyle approached her.

"Hi, are you alright?"

"Yes...i...im f-fine." Pip stuttered his words out.

Kyle sat next to abby on the snow covered ground.

"I see youv'e met Abby. Shes Stan's cousin." Kyle said wrapping his arms around Abbys shoulders.

Pip looked at the black haired beauty and smiled sheepishly.

"Plesure to meet you. Im P-" The boy was caught short by the voice of Cartman.

"Dude, this is so weak...whats your excuse this time Frenchie?"

"For the last fucking time fat ass im not french!" Pip stood up and grabbed Cartman by the collar of his jacket. "Got it!"

"Woah...holy shit dude, calm down!" Stan grabbed Pip from behind and tugged on him trying his hardest to pull the british boy from Cartman. Kyle grapped Stan and tryed helping. The other boys heard Cartman screaming for help and bounded towards them. Finding Pip being held by his ankles by Stan and holding Cartmans collar threatning him. Abby was holding onto Pip trying to calm him. Kenny grabbed onto Kyle, Butters took hold of Kenny, Token took his place behind Butters and behind Token, Craig and Clyde held on followed by Tweek. All the boys pulled as hard as they could. But it was no use. Pip would not let go of Cartman.

A small yelp was heard form under Pip. He looked down to find the puppy looking up at him. Abby sitting on the ground next to the puppy. Both looked up at him buggingly. Pip lost all focus on Cartman and dove for the puppy.

"KALI! YOUR ALL RIGHT!" He picked the puppy up and hugged it lovingly. All the boys where on the ground on top of each other. Cartman was up against a tree dizzy and slightly queezy.

"Awwww, is that his name?" Abby asked looking down at the small injured puppy in Pip's arms.

"Yeah...but...hes, a she." He replied.

"Awww. She's so cute." The small puppy jumped out of his arms and onto Abbys lap. Abby pet it happily.

Cartman leaned againt the tree gaing for breath. He looked angrily at the british boy.

"Okay...i give...what the hell was that all about?" Craig blurted out from the bottom of the pile.

"Oh...im terribly sorry gentlemen, you see, my puppy was hurt, and it was dying. I was afraid for her, so i brought her here. Sorry to ruin your eventfull evening."

"Sorry my ass." Cartman yelled from the bottom of the tree.

"Cartman. Dont make things worse than they already are." Stan stated simply, whiping the dirt off of the back of his pants.

"The hell i wont."

"Cartman."

"Cartman," He mocked in his singsong voice, "Get your ass over here you faggie french boy."

Abby stood infront of Pip still holding the puppy. Cartman just puhed her out of the way and moved onto Pip. It was at that point she wished that she wasnt so short. Kyle ran over to her and helped her up. Abby handed him Kali and charged at Cartman grabbing the sleeve of his jacket.

"Cartman...leave him ALONE!" She called to him. "He was histerical because of his dog. I know what it like to lose something you love more than anything. He is lucky that his puppy is alright. Please...leave him alone, he didnt know what he was doing!"

Kyle watched her display of affection for Pip and felt his heart skip a beat. Did she love Pip, or was it just his imagination. At this point, the boys where pulling Cartman away from Pip. Who had started to run towards Kyle, who held Kali protectively in his arms. He grabbed the dog away from Kyle and yelled to Abby.

"My name is Pip Abby. Just to let you know."

Abby waved at him as he ran from the clearing. Cartman was still being held back by his comrads. After he had setteled down. Abby walked over to a sad looking Kyle and shivered. She snuggled up to him and shivered. He could tell she was cold because she was wearing a dress after all. He took her into a warm embrace. But didnt look at her as he did so. He averted his eye to the stars in the black abbis above them.
