Chapter 22: Girls

Stan is working on his latest book, which is the first in a children's series entitled "The Rocky Boys," about a group of five ten-year-old boys from a small Rocky Mountain town who go on the most absurd adventures. The first book is entitled The Stick of Truth, and Stan is finalizing the last chapter before sending it to the editors.

Kyle is going over some paperwork for the DCCC. Rob is at the movies with his friends. Ryan is getting ready for a date.

"So, you excited about this date tonight?" Kyle asks, looking up.

"Yeah. I'm also nervous because it's a blind date. Ashley always sets me up with awesome girls, but I like to know who the girl is first."

"Speaking of whom, I haven't heard Rob talk about her. Is everything okay between them?" Kyle wonders concerning his other son.

"She dumped him. Left him for Derek."

"Again?! That's the third time this year!"

"Yeah, explains why Rob's been acting like a mopey bitch on the rag all week."

"Language!" Kyle warns him.

"Sorry. But yeah, every time they break up, Connor and I always pick up the pieces. Connor is a saint, continuing to be his best friend. Hell, Rob's lucky I put up with him as my brother."

Kyle laughs and shakes his head, thinking this sounds too familiar.

"Anyway, she'll be here any minute."

"The girl is picking the guy up?" Stan asks, getting up for a quick stretch.

"Ashley said she doesn't believe in typical dating conventions."

The doorbell rings.

Ryan opens it. It's Lila Tomlin, known as "Miss Perfect" by her peers. "Oh, hey Lila, come in."

He walks Lila to Stan and Kyle. "Lila, these are my fathers, Stan and Kyle. Dad, Daddy, this is Lila. She's in most of my classes."

The three get acquainted and make light conversation.

Kyle and Stan go back to work and then cuddle up on the couch to watch TV. Stan assures Kyle that Ryan is a good boy who can take care of himself, and that they have to get used to their sons being teenage boys. Ryan and Rob walk into the house around 11:00, looking distraught and upset.

"Home before curfew on a Friday night?" Stan asks in a stunned tone. "What happened? Bad date?"

"Try no date," Ryan replies.

"Lila went home shortly after she and Ryan left here," Rob explains.

Stan and Kyle try to apologize to Ryan for saying or doing something that might have offended Lila, but Ryan cuts them off.

"Lila has a problem with the fact that Rob and I are being raised by two daddies. I told her to suck my balls, and then I walked to the diner near the theater and waited for Rob," Ryan said flatly.

"She's a bitch," Rob assures Ryan. "You should hear the shit Anna says about her."

Normally, the boys aren't allowed to swear like that, but given the situation, the Marsh-Broflovski clan just nods in agreement.

Ryan and Rob go upstairs and go to bed. Kyle sighs, and Stan holds him tightly on the couch.
