"Wow, this bed is so cool? Do we really have to leave?" Ayla asked after putting in the 25c required to cause the bed to vibrate.

"Yeah, we have to go, order in some breakfast… I'll give Cartman a txt to tell him we are coming." I say with a smirk. Cartman, I can't believe he is the only I have links to in this town, the only friends number that I have.

"What do you want honey?" Ayla asked.

"I don't care, uhh I'm going to be back in like… 10 minutes. There is just a place I want to visit before we leave for Cartman's…"

"Wait, wait… I want to come too… screw this place, let's book out and just catch something on the way after we visit this place…" It's not that I didn't want to take Ayla, it's just… It was our spot… the place we spent a lot of our final years together. It's where I had my first cigarette, it's where I had my first joint, my first drink and you can see why taking your girlfriend and telling her why it's a special place just seems a little weird.

"So this it?" Cartman said as Kyle, Stan and I sat in the abandoned warehouse. Cartman had purchased it a few years ago, it was such a wreck and he brought it for only $400. Even though he hadn't done much to fix it up, it was still a nice place to chill out, once you get over the rats gnawing on your leg, smell of decaying walls and the holes in the roof that usually make the place uninhabitable during the rain.

"Yeah, this is it… I still can't believe all this is happening, the lotto ticket, the moving… I mean it's just all so fast." I admit to my closest friends.

"Yeah but don't worry, you got our numbers… we'll stay in contact," Stan said with a fake smile.

"You can always come back and visit us sometime," Kyle said.

"Of cause but you guys have to come and visit me too, I seen the house dad brought in New York, it's pretty flash." I say with a smirk.

"It's got to be better than the shit hole your living in now." Cartman says as he starts laughing. We all decide to join in.

"Yeah, a lot better but still… materialistic goods… is this really what's important? Mum and Dad grew up in this town and all of a sudden, they take the first chance they had of moving out. What about all their friends and the rest of our family that live here?"

"Dude, chill out… your going into a better life, someone like you could easily make new friends… but no matter what… remember we are always here for you." Stan said in an unusual heart felt speech. He was always good with speeches but never did he say something like that. I'm going to miss him, I'm going to miss all of them.

"What the hell? No way…" I say bursting into laughter. Cartman Enterprises? That's what the sign read. Cartman Enterprises.

"Wow… it's so big… this is your friend Cartman's building?" She asked confused. I had never mentioned the abandon warehouse to her and never anything about Cartman Enterprises.

"It used to be an abandon warehouse Cartman brought when he was 10, but look at it now… I knew that guy had the business mind and with his lack of emotions he makes the perfect businessman." I say as Ayla and I start laughing.

"I knew that guy had to return one day and with him full of emotions, he just had to come back to the old warehouse." A deep voice said. I turned my head quickly, standing in front of me was a teenager, slightly shorter than me. Gone was all the fat he had in his youth, replaced with what looked like a lot of time in the gym.

"Cartman, dude… what happened… you look… wow," I said giggling like a little child. I didn't want to, this is not how I wanted to act in front of Cartman, seeing him for the first time in years. I just couldn't resist, I just felt so happy.

"Well, I'm not the only that changed, look at you… your no longer a skinny little rat. Seems like I'm not the only one that has been working out, oh and who's this pretty little thing?" Cartman asked.

"Oh, right… This is Ayla, and that is Cartman… or something, damn I'm no good with introductions. Hey Stan or Kyle around here?" Cartman looks away for a second, only just a second. He has been dodging me every time I ask about those guys.

"Hey Ayla, it's nice to meet you." He said offering his hand for a shake. Ayla shook his hand and replied with a nice to meet you too.

"So, what does this business of yours actually do?" Ayla asked. She had wanted to go into business, possibly the only stereotypical Indian trait she had. She didn't even have that stupid accent that I liked when she first came here.

"Cartman Enterprises is a large manufacturer of a lot of local goods, it has 30 stores in the Colorado region and this is where a lot of goods are produced."

"What kind of goods?" Ayla asked as Cartman took us in. I didn't pay much attention to anything they said, business was always so boring to me but it just felt really nice to see Cartman and Ayla form a friendship so quickly. Cartman had always been a bit of an… outcast. He was a strange kid but now, as a teenager… he was filthy, stinky rich. This is how he wanted to be, even from an early age he had a huge desire to be rich. Although these goods he was talking about… was fashion good. Clothing, basically winter clothing that looked pretty damn cool. I didn't think he would become rich by becoming a fashion queen.

"That is a nice car out there, 1.6 dohc vtec?" Cartman asked as we sat in his office. It was spacious, had a large plasma screen TV and a coffee machine.

"Actually it had a 2.2 vtec, just got it… runs pretty smoothly, so what's new in this town?"

"A lot has changed, a lot… don't expect everything to be the same, don't expect everyone to be the same…" Cartman said.

"What about Stan and Kyle, where are they at?" I ask.

"Uhh I'm really sorry to do this, but I got a busy schedule today, stop by my house later… right now I got a business analysis to check, could use a new analysist around here" He says with a smile to Ayla as we stand up to leave.

"Oh, by the way… Ayla, if you want any more information on Cartman Enterprises or business in general, just give me a call." Cartman says handing a business card over to her and then he gives me one.

"See you two later, oh by the way, it's really good to see you again Ken… hopefully tonight we can catch up in a much better fashion." He says with a laugh as he ushers us out of his office. Cartman is definitely hiding something about Stan and Kyle. Something big.

"Well, that was like hitting to birds with one stone… we came to see your abandon warehouse or whatever and we got Cartman and I got a new business ally." She said grinning happily.

"And you didn't want to come here," I said with a smirk. She pulled a face at me, so far this trip had been really fun. It had been so long since I stepped out of New York, I nearly forgot how good life was in South Park. It's so relaxing…

"Well now what?"

"Let's just hope that Stan lives at the same place," I said jumping into the car.

"Yeah, let's go see Stan… he's the cutest out of your friends," She said altering her hair in the mirror.

"He was much more than that, he was possibly the most caring of our friends. Remember that story I told you, about our protest against veal? Stan played a huge part of it, even stopped eating meat altogether, till he found out how unhealthy it was." I say with a grin. I started the car, time to go see Stan and the Marsh family.
