Beavis somberly returned to Deidra's house for another round of rehearsal, still trying to force a smile to hide his sadness.
"Hey, Beavis!" Deidra greeted him when she answered the door. Her smile faded when she saw how sad he looked.
"You ok?" She questioned.
"I'm fine, just..." Beavis trailed off as something was on his mind.
"Your doctor like...said you should try to live your life as normal as possible, right?" He continued.
"Right…" Deidra replied softly, leaning against the door frame.
"Why?" She questioned.
"Well, wouldn't dating me be normal? Heh-heh!" Beavis was getting philosophical again.
"Deidra, I've never met a girl like you before and I would be sad if you died but I would feel even worse if I didn't get to spend the rest of your life with you so whata ya say?" He pulled a bouquet of roses that he stole from Anderson's rose bush from behind his back. Deidra covered her eyes with her thumb and index finger, not wanting Beavis to see her cry even though they were just tears of happiness.
"I-I'd love to!" She happily agreed, accepting the flowers and suddenly remembering why he was at her house in the first place.
"C'mon! Let's rehearse." She exclaimed before leading him inside. It was going to be an even bigger surprise to him that she was going to be playing the part of Juliet. Beavis only thought she was reading the role to help him learn his lines.
"Oh, right! Heh-heh!" Beavis chuckled nervously, forgetting why he had originally arrived at her house himself as he followed her. He seemed a bit happier that she had agreed to date him. After another few hours of rehearsing, Deidra and Beavis were sitting on her living-room couch, chatting and catching up.
"And that's why I'm in the school play..." Beavis explained why McVicker and Buzzcut had initially forced him to join the play with a sigh of regret.
"Butthead would make fun of me if he found out but I like...still feel bad for what we did to Stuart, ya know what I'm sayin'? Heh-heh..." He admitted with a sad sigh.
"Have you gone to see Stuart in the hospital?" Deidra asked.
"I'd visit him and try to apologize to him." She suggested.
"Um...no, heh-heh...I actually didn't think of that yet, hm-hm-heh..." Beavis replied with a nervous grin.
"Well, don't you think it'd be the right thing to do?" Deidra asked.
"I mean all he wanted was to be your friend. Beside..." She paused.
"I think you'd feel better if you went and apologized to him…" She pointed out.
"Yeah! Yeah! You're right! Heh-heh!" Beavis excitedly agreed with his usual sweet smile. Deidra smiled back.
"Why don't you go over there now?" She suggested.
"Are ya sure ya won't mind? Heh-heh..." Beavis asked as he stood up from the couch. He really wanted to check on Stuart but he also did not just want to leave Deidra so suddenly, in the middle of their date.
"Of course I don't mind! Go ahead." Deidra reassured with a small smile.
"Thanks, babe, heh-heh! See ya again soon, hm-hm-heh!" Beavis gave Deidra a kiss on the cheek before running off to find Stuart. This task took some time since he was not entirely sure which hospital Stuart had gone to. Good thing he remembered Stuart's last name from when his mail was accidentally sent to Butthead's house.
Stuart was laying in his hospital-bed watching T.V. his leg propped up in a cast and sling, cuts and bruises covering his face. Beavis frowned, his guilt returning as he timidly entered the room.
"H-Hey, Stuart...Heh-heh..." He greeted. He felt even worse Stuart looked up from the T.V. with a hurt expression.
"Hey, Beavis…" He greeted sadly, suddenly surprised that Butthead was not with him, yet in another way relieved.
"Where's Butthead?" He questioned, curiously.
"He's not here, heh-heh...It's just me..." Beavis sighed as he approached Stewart's hospital-bed.
"Listen, I'm like...sorry, heh-heh...I just wanted to mess with you a little bit, I never wanted to..." Beavis' eyes began to fill with tears. Stuart's eyes widened just a bit at the sight of how hurt Beavis was.
"I-It's ok, Beavis…" Stuart tried to reassure him.
"I-I know this was Butthead's idea, not yours…" He added.
"I shouldn'ta helped him, though..." Bevies sniffled as he quickly wiped his eyes to prevent tears from falling.
"Y-You just wanted to be my friend a-and now you're...Now you're..." Beavis finally broke down and began to cry gently. Stuart reached over and touched Beavis' arm. He knew what Beavis was trying to say.
"I forgive you, Beavis…" Stuart told him, giving him a friendly smile.
"T-Thank you..." Beavis sniffled with a gentle smile.
"M-Maybe when you get outta here, we can hang out for real, just you and me..." Beavis offered as he wiped his face clean.
"That'd be great!" Stuart cried happily as he leaned back against his pillows. The two decided to talk for another hour before Beavis decided it was time to leave. Beavis felt better about himself as he returned home to Butthead but he was still worried about Deidra's health. He hoped for a miracle but knew there never were any miracles for him.
"Hey Beavis!" Butthead greeted his friend as Beavis walked in the door.
"I got us some nachos, dude! Uh-huh-huh-huh…" Butthead happily offered the nachos to Beavis as an apology for making fun of his crying earlier.
"Oh, thanks! Heh-heh!" Beavis thanked with a sweet smile as he took his usual seat next to Butthead and began to eat his nachos. Maybe tonight would be a good night for him after all.
"Wanna go to that new Stephen King movie next weekend? Uh-huh…" Butthead asked through a mouthful of nachos.
"Sure! Heh-heh!" Beavis excitedly agreed with cheese all over his mouth. That's when Beavis remembered that he could not go to the movie. The play was next weekend! There was no way he could tell that to Butthead though.
Beavis knew that if he skipped the play that not only would he get in trouble but he would disappoint Deidra as well. He would have to be sneaky to pull this off but he would have to ditch Butthead.
