Chapter 6: What Am I?
Hey guys what's up! It's summersunset821 here for another chapter! Sorry junior year is eating me alive. I'll write more during breaks though promise! Enjoy!
It had been around a month, and things were at a standstill. Amy had gotten closer with the girls, much too her joy, but to her concern. Joy, because she liked having another little group of friends that could listen to her, and she and Kyle had gotten pretty close as well. But she was concerned, she didn't want to be a manipulative person, but she knew Cartman would do as he said. They weren't playing today because the kings needed to rest this weekend, with this opportunity at hand, Amy decided to go see Kenny.
"Boy may be a total perv at times, but he understands a lot." Amy reasoned. Besides she really didn't know what else o do regarding this….mess.
As she walked pasted many houses, she was careful not to get herself caught by any players of the Elf kingdom. Eventually she made it to Kenny's house. He was still wearing his princess Zelda costume.
"Well, well, well, look who's back from the dead eh Ames?"
"Nice to see you too Kenny."
"That's Princess to you peasant." Kenny said jokingly.
"Sheesh Kenny, don't you get tired of wearing that?"
"Hell no, besides…" he trailed off as a little girl with brown hair came up to the two, it was Lauren. She gave a warm smile to Amy.
"Hi Amy! Kenny and I were playing together can you play too?" she asked innocently. Before Amy could speak a crash was heard. Mr. and Mrs. McCormick were fighting. Again. Amy frowned, she understood what Kenny was dealing with, her own father wasn't going easy on her nowadays either. Maybe that's why she saw Kenny as a brother. He was fun, a good listener, and most of all he understood her as much as she understood him. They decided to head out to Stark Pond, to play and talk about this.
After a little while of playing hide and seek with Lauren, Kenny offered her a dollar to buy herself an ice cream cone when they got back into town. While Lauren bought herself some ice cream, Amy and Kenny decided to talk behind the store. Amy, when she was accepted into the Elf kingdom vowed not to talk to any humans; if she was caught talking to Kenny…it wouldn't be good. At all.
"So lemme get this straight….Fatass is blackmailing you to be a spy in the elf kingdom and if you don't do what he says he'll expose your dad….and if you do it he'll give you highest position and accept you officially?" Kenny asked trying to understand, Cartman hadn't explained why Amy wasn't there. Kenny, Butters, and Lily didn't get why either even though they kept pestering him about it.
"Yeah pretty much..."
"Well what is the point, I mean, your dad is an abusive dick…"
"Kenny…you know he has connections…he'll bail out and come after me…besides…remember when your folks were arrested cause of the meth-lab incident?" Kenny looked down, how could he forget that, plus them cameras around his home from 'White Trash in Trouble'?
"Yeah….so how's it like there?"
"It's good I've met a few people there…"
"Oh…looks like I'm in the trash them." Grinned Kenny nudging Amy.
"Shut it Ken." Amy said with a smile. "Well….I met a few girls, I met Emma, and a girl named Rebecca…and…"
"WAIT REBBECA?!"
"Um…yeah…..what is it?"
"She's fucking hot! She has a nice rack and she-"
"Um whoa there Kenny….." Amy said whacking him on the head for his perverted comment with a disgusted look on her face. Kenny laughed.
"She's pretty cool though, she plays video games I like too and she seems really tough." Kenny said
"Yeah...but sometimes she acts so egotistical like-come on you aren't all that, she loves to boast too much."
"Eh…true..."
"By the way how do you even know her Ken?"
"Oh, one day Stan introduced her to me and Cartman, she whopped his sorry ass, and he ran home crying to his 'mam' "Kenny said laughing hysterically "You should've seen her face though! But yeah….besides her he introduced us to that girl…Emma…poor kid, she's got the hots for the guy, but he don't care."
"Yeah…plus his bitch is destroying her….it not fair…" They sat in silence for a few minutes. Soon Kenny cleared his throat "So who else have you met?"
"Well I know Kyle and Stan a bit more. Stan's cool I guess, Kyle…."
"Kyle..."
"Well I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Like….he's really sweet, and pretty smart too he helped me with my homework once. He's super tough awesome at video games too. He has a temper…but I've seen his softer side…the week before he and I were in the woods…he was practicing a move with Ike you know his little bro? Well…some humans try to hurt him, he went crazy on them….he cares a lot….not to mention he was the first to want me to be accepted here in the Elf Kingdom….he's kind and really cute and I-" before she continued Kenny began giggling mischievously.
"Ummm does the Great Amy have a crush?" Amy blushed so bad you'd thought she was a tomato.
"Shut up Kenny I don't wanna have a crush you know that…besides he probably does not trust me in his mind."
"Sure…..you were swooning!"
"SHUT it Ken….." grumbled Amy glaring at the blonde boy who was falling against the wall laughing.
"Don't deny it!"
"I can't be a mushy dumb idiot and you know that!"
"Why? You afraid of him kicking your ass in Call of duty or Guitar Hero?"
"No…."
"Is it your dad….if it is we can…"
"No...The bastard doesn't have anything to do with this…."
"Then why...oh…wait are you talking about..." Kenny said, his face falling. He'd nearly forgotten what had happened to Amy four months ago. It really hurt her. She didn't want to remember that and no matter how many times people pestered him, he wouldn't tell what happened. At all. He hugged her, feeling rather regretful of bringing up that painful memory. Lauren ran up to them, apologizing for the wait. They decided to head back, Amy to her home. But before she left Kenny had one last word to her.
"Look Amy….forget the Kyle thing in this…just keep this in mind…it's up to you…I don't know what to do about your dad in this…but you can't keep the act up forever either. You and I both know that."
"Well….what do I do now?"
"Hmmm….ok…..next weekend, try to go t Lily's. Butters and I will try to head there too. Then we'll talk. But for now…try to keep a low profile or something…because if you…get hurt…you'll lose everything."
Amy nodded and returned home, her brain a blur and her heart in her throat.
