Kenny stomped the snow off his boots as he burst through the door. The Pennsylvania winters always reminded him of home; He hated it. The aroma of fresh cooked food and something baking in the oven hit his nose. Good old Tweek.

Ever since he helped Tweek get over his fear of the oven he wouldn't stop cooking. The twitch blonde made a sudden appearance and wrapped him in a hug. "Ken! How was work? I missed you! I made chili and cornbread for dinner. There is also an apple pie in the oven but its not done yet," Tweek rambled.

Ken smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "Work was fine, I missed you too, and that sounds great." Tweek beamed up at him and turned around to plate up dinner. Kenny quickly took off his coat, scarf and gloves. He noticed Tweek jerk more than usual which meant something was off about his day.

" So how was work for you today?" Ken asked, trying to pry without being obvious. Tweek had gotten a job as an online counselor when he finished school. It was great for him. He got to do what he loves and stay home where he felt comfortable.

" It was okay. Nothing worrisome today," he muttered " Not with work anyway." Kenny looked up from his belly warming chili. Tweek ws staring anxiously at his food, his fingers tapping out a wild rhythm on the table. It almost sounded like a tune to some kind of song but he wasn't entirely sure.

" What happened that's got yo all upset, babe? We're the neighbor kids messing with the house again?" The kids liked to play pranks on Tweek but they didn't always go over as they planned. The way Tweek reacted depended on what kind of day he was having and how high he was. One day Kenny had come home to Tweek hiding under the bed swearing that there were demons in the wall. They kids had been whispering through a vent they found that led inside.

Tweek shook his head quickly fumbling with his spoon. " Kyle Broflovski got ahold of me today," he almost whispered. Kenny's heart stopped. Kyle Brolovski. He hadn't heard that name in over four years. Tweek and Kenny agreed not long after they left that they would never mention that place again. " HE asked me why I was making a fake profile using his two missing friends pictures. Using their names."

"I didn't know you had a facebook, Tweek," Kenny said with frustration. He didn't mind except fro the fact that someone from south Park had found them. Tweek cringed and looked guilty.

" I only did it to talk to Kayla through messenger. I only post stuff every once in a while. I made my name Tweek McCormick figuring it wouldn't come up with a search. I only put in one picture but i guess that was my mistake. It's the one we took the week after we left."

Kenny remembered that picture. They had stopped at the welcome center just inside Pennsylvania. They took a picture to commemorate their freedom. They were smiling but dirty from rolling around in the Pennsylvania dirt. They had wanted to only be covered in the dirt of their new home instead of the dust from their past life.

" Yeah the pictures probably what did it. What did you say?" Ken asked quietly. He didn't know if he was excited or scared. The butterflies in his stomach made him push his chili away. It seemed to much with such a heavy subject.

" I didn't answer at first. But then he sent another message. He said if it was one of us that they missed us. He said he just wanted to talk and make sure we were okay. I gave him the track phone number I give clients and told him to call at 7. Which is in five minutes." Kenny's head whipped towards the clock hanging at the other end of the room. Tweek was right, five more minutes.

What should they say? Could they say anything? They left midday on a Saturday four and half years ago. They didn't say goodbye. They deleted all their social media accounts and ditched their phones first chance they could. The only people from South Park who knew where they were was Tweek's parents.

Iar ringtone pulled him from his thoughts. Tweek took a big breath answered the phone and put it on speaker. "Hello?" he said clearly. Ken thinks it's the bravest thing he has ever seen him do.
