Right Here Waiting
By: esmtz
The next morning everyone was already up and getting ready to have breakfast. Cartman yawned and rubbed his eyes as he followed behind Ron to where everyone was gathering and was being served cereal, eggs, juice, and pancakes.
"Well, at least they serve good food here. I kind of thought they were just going to give us cereal and water…" Ron said as he and Cartman took a seat and watched as the food was placed in front of them.
Cartman shrugged as he started eating.
"Hey, they didn't tell us that they would be coming by this early…" a boy sitting near them said.
Cartman and Ron looked up and saw that already there was a small group of parents who were already looking around at all the kids in the room. Cartman watched wide eyed as he locked eyes with one of the ladies for a few seconds before she turned, along with a few others, to check out the rest of the place.
"Ok, seriouslah I'm getting nervous here…" Cartman said after he swallowed his food.
"Uh…yeah I know what you mean, Eric…" Ron said as he scooted closer to Cartman feeling extremely nervous that a few of the adults were looking at him.
Cartman raised an eyebrow, noticing that Ron was getting more attention then him. He sighed and shook his head.
'I should have seen this coming…'
Cartman turned to look at Ron and whispered to him.
"Just ignore them for now, Ron."
Ron nodded not even bothering to move away from Cartman.
"Yeah, I mean it's not like they're going to adopt anyone right away….right?"
Cartman was about to say something, but was cut off when he heard one of the adults outside saying that they wanted to adopt a kid. Both boys froze as a woman came into the room and immediately went towards where they were at. Ron grabbed on to Cartman's arm as she stopped in front of them. They sighed with relief, however, when she pointed to a girl with short blond hair. She got out of her seat and followed behind the woman out of the room.
"That was scary…" Ron sighed as he let go of Cartman's arm.
"…Yeah that was…" Cartman said.
'Ok, Kyle, if you were really serious about getting me out of here you better get here soon…' Cartman thought to himself.
"Hurry up already, Kenny!" Kyle cried.
For the past half an hour or so Kenny had been trying to get the car to work again, but nothing was working.
"I don't think it's going to work you guys!" Kenny told them.
"Well, at least we're here in Denver, but now which way do we go?" Stan asked as he looked out the window.
Butters had fallen asleep in the back seat of the car from how long it had taken to find an actual working car and to drive all the way to Denver only to have it break down on them.
Kyle sighed in frustration.
"Butters, wake the fuck up! We're walking now and Kenny don't you dare fucking die on us before we get to the adoption center. You're the only one who knows where it is."
Kyle got out of the car, dragging a startled Butters with him. Stan and Kenny quickly got out and looked at each other.
"Do you think Kyle is still pissed off about what you told him last night about Cartman and his supposed 'new friend'?" Stan asked worried.
Kenny sighed.
"Would you be, Stan, if one of your friends or even Wendy replaced you with someone else?"
"Uh, don't you need to tell us where to go, Kenny?" Stan asked.
Kenny looked at him for a few seconds before running to catch up with Kyle and Butters. Stan sighed mumbling to himself as he quickly went to catch up with his friends.
"So, uh, Kenny? How long do you think it'll take for us to get to where Eric is at?" Butters asked looking at him (Kyle already let go of him).
Kenny looked around the area they were at and then looked at Butters.
"Well, I definitely recognize this place which means we're not that far from the center. If we keep going straight and then make a left somewhere we should be there in half an hour maybe as long as we don't encounter problems along the way…" Kenny sighed.
"Yeah, Kenny. You might want to at least tell either Kyle or me where to go in case you get killed before we get there. It could happen you know." Stan quickly added as he saw the look that Kenny was giving him.
Kenny thought about for a few seconds then sighed and nodded.
"Ok, Stan. I'll tell you. I don't really want to tell Kyle since he's still pissed off so listen to me carefully…" Kenny told him.
"Would you guys hurry up already?!" Kyle yelled as soon as Kenny finished telling Stan where to go.
"We're coming, Kyle!" Kenny shouted back to him then turned his attention back to Stan, "You got it, dude?"
"Yeah." Stan said.
"Ok, let's go."
After a few minutes of walking, Kenny stopped and was staring at something.
"What is it Kenny?" Stan asked.
"Uh, I'll catch up with you guys later…"
Kyle, Stan, and Butters looked at what Kenny was looking at and they all sighed, covering their faces with their hands.
"Dammit, Kenny, this is no time to be looking at girl's…" Kyle said.
Both Stan and Butters were turning red.
"DUDE!" Stan yelled.
Kenny couldn't stop smiling as he walked up to the small group of girls.
"Aw, man. These chicks are hot here in Denver…" Kenny said grinning.
"KENNY!" Kyle yelled at him.
"Don't worry, dude. Kenny told me where to go." Stan said as he walked past Kyle and Butters.
Kyle growled as he followed Stan. Butters hesitated for a few seconds before finally deciding to follow Stan and Kyle.
"Oh Jesus we're going to get lost in Denver I just know it!" Butters said quietly to himself.
"Hurry up, Butters, or we'll end up leaving you behind!" Stan yelled out to him making Butters run to catch up.
"Wait up, fellas!"
Author's note: I think it'll be the next chapter or the chapter after that where Kyle goes to get Cartman at the center. I'm hoping to leave the next chapter on a cliffhanger as long as something doesn't change my mind. This means that my story is slowly but surely coming to an end soon in just a few chapters. So I'm wondering what pairing would you like me to use in my next story (yeah I'll stay with South Park for now). The top three I'm interested in are: KylexCartman (obviously), CartmanxStan, or StanxWendy. I promise to update again soon.
