' So tell me ken have you ever been out of Ireland before then or is this your first time abroad ...? Asked cartman trying to be polite
" Oh no sir this is my first time abroad well I have left home. before with my brother when we go into town for 3 days once a month with da's pony and cart to sell stuff but setting foot outside Ireland no never so this is all new to us I guess but I'm up for anything you know ' Kenny said smiling
' Hmmm I see ' Was all cartman said glaringbat Kenny and it was clear he didn't like him
As the group sat chatting suddenly Lady Cunningham came in carrying her dog and making a huge fuss as always demanding this and that and made Angela sigh
' Oh no that is all I need at this time in the morning that dreadful woman and her spoiled dog ' Said Angela as Bebe rolled her eyes as she was in no mood for her too
' Oh Angela dear how are you oh you don't mind if we join you I shall need an extra chair for Prince and he only wants minimal water ' The woman said as she sat down holding the dog in her arms and at that Stan and Kyle got up and left the table
' Erm please excuse us just now and the table is getting rather crowded ' Stan said as he sndnkyle left getting an old glance from Wendy
' Stward Staward come here boy bring me a spare chair and a cushion for little prince here and a bowl of mineral water ' The woman said in a bossy tone
' Yes my lady ' The man said before scurring off
' Oh you did not tell me you had a son Angela ' The woman said looking at Kenny who sat next to Bebe
' Oh no ken here is not my son he saved my daughters life last night you see Bebe was not feeling too well and she almost fainted and fell over the edge and he saved her he is very brave ' Angela said
' Oh my well done young man I do love hearing stories of bravery ' The woman said
' Oh it was nothing really I just wanted miss Bebe to be safe that's all ' Kenny said blushing a bit
' Well you did splendid and tell me boy is that an Irish accent you have I was unaware that their was Irish people traveling in first class I thought all the Irish were in steerage
' Yes indeed it is ma'am ' Kenny begun but Angela cut him off
' Well you see ken here is from steerage we invited him up to say thank you for saving our daughter he will spend the day with us as a reward and also will join us for dinner and the ball tonight and later after that well he will return to steerage ' Angela said smiling
' Oh I see now tell me boy how old are you you look quite young ..? Asked Lady Cunningham
' Well I'm 19 now I turned 19 last month I guess I'm small for my age but I'm a very hard worker ' Kenny said
' Oh 19 I thought you were about 15 or 16 you are very small and young looking and you look very slim too and also as you did such a good act in saving young Bebe here and going to the ball tell me ken what do you plan on wearing ...? Lady Cunningham asked
' Well I don't really know yet depends what the steward gives me but I have no posh clothes " Kenny said
' Hmm. Your about my sons size I am going to meet him and I have some clothes for him from London I think I may be able to help you their ' The woman said making Kenny smile
" Wow really thanks but their is no need to I'll be fine ' Kenny said blushing again
' Nonsance boy you did a good deed so I shall do you one lend you a dinner suit ' said Lady Cunningham making Kenny blush again
' Now ken you come with me and pick the suit you want and we shall smarten you up honestly Boyd can be so stubborn at times good job I am used to them ' The woman said
' Yes indeed that is true Grace ' Angela said as Grace took Kenny and her dog off to dress him up
' Its no use you'll never make a gentleman out of a scruffy steerage passenger your wasting your time ' Muttred cartman But no one heard him
' Oh and don't worry I shall bring your ken back looking like w first class gentleman we won't be long ' Said Grace before leaving with Kenny
' I think your getting a little too familiar with that boy I don't like it you don't even know him or what he may do sure he might be sweet and charming but he will rob you blind he dosent belong here ' Said cartman a little later in the corridor
" Oh don't be stupid Eric he is honest sweet and kind something you will never be and also he had more manners than you have ' Bebe begun but cartman cut her off and was angry
' He's steerage and Irish too the Irish can't be trusted he will rob you blind he will never be like us I have delt with these people they live in hovels 50 to a house that is meant for 4 and they breed like rabbits and get drunk and fight all the time he will never be like us no matter what he wears he's scum their all scum and your a lady of class and above them ' Cartman said gripping Bebes arm tightly
' Let me go your hurting me and your just raciest their is nothing wrong with the Irish my maid was Irish she was a lovely woman and Kenny is very sweet and I like him and as I said he has more manners than you have and I bet you know nothing of those steerage passengers so don't you dare go talking about people you don't know about I'm disgusted by you Eric ' Said Bebe about to go but cartman pulled her back by the arm hurting her again and making her yell a bit
' Oh let me go you beast I hate you and your breath stinks you have been drinking again you disgust me ' Bebe said trying to get free
' Maybe I have but you better not get all flirty with that Irish scum or any man you belong to me now your almost my wife and you will do as I say understand and you will stay at MY side I won't have you flirting with every,an on this ship especially steerage after tonight you are never to see him again he has no class now you are a lady and I expect you to behave like one and you will act if you are having a good time and are in love with me is that clear now ' Carttman said hurting Bebes arm again but Bebe didn't reply
' Bebe is everything okay I came to find you as I wanted to talk about something ' Said Kyle who appeared in the corridor near Stan
'I don't know ' Was all Bebe could say now crying as Kyle helped her and enraged cartman
' God Damn it your throwing yourself at him now if it's not the Irish it's the Jew your a Harley but I can beat that out off you ' Yelled cartman
' What the hell you think I'm coming on to Bebe ' Kyle said stunned
" I caught you before and other times before we set foot on this ship she's with me is that clear and now she's throwing herself at that steerage boy ' Cartman Yelled
' Oh for crying out loud cartman im not interested in Bebe sure she's a good friend but that's it Oh Stan we might as well tell him get it over with ' Kyle said now grabbing Stans hand and shocking Bebe a bit but she worked it out and remembers what Wendy had said
' You two are together a couple ' Bebe said shocking cartman
' What you two no way OMG ' Cartman said
' yes I love Stan and he loves me. but it's against the law so it's a secret but though Bebe is very sweet and a good friend I'm not attracted to her nor any women you understand now ' Kyle said as cartman was stunned and walked away
' Sorry about that are you okay ..? Asked Stan
" Yes I'm fine now and I kinda suspected it about you two but don't worry I won't tell a soul ' Bebe said as Stan and Kyle smiled as they knew their secret would be safe with Bebe
' God I so hate men especially cartman I wish he was dead ' Said bebe a little later as her and Wendy sat on the promenade in deckchairs
' Oh dear what's he done now then bad I take it ' Said Wendy
' Oh god that's putting it mildly omg he's a nightmare telling me how to behave and that treating me as a small child and also who I can and can't see and he's made it clear he hates that boy Kenny from steerage ' Bebe said
' Oh that blond Irish boy well I guess he is a bit much but dare I say he is rather good looking and has a sweet smile and a bit of a cheeky nature but maybe cartman is jelious if him because Kenny is good looking and thin something he'll never be but as your best friend be careful of Kenny he is steerage and their the poorest of the poor and he may try and take advantage of you I'd hate for you to get hurt that is all I'm saying on the matter and that's the advice of a good friend ' Wendy said gently placing her hand on Bebes shoulder
' I know and don't worry I will be careful I know what I'm doing I'm not a child and I'm only having dinner and maybe a couple of dances with him later but my parents will be their and I'll be fine and it's not as if we're going on a date or that omg could you imagine fathers face if I did date Kenny he'd have kittens I'm sure ' Bebe said laughing
As the girls sat talking and watching some children chase a hoop along the deck they were interrupted by a slight coughing and when they looked up they got a surprise as their was a very handsome well dressed blond man smiling at them and wearing a shirt and tie and black pants and shoes and his blond hair slicked back with gel and wet looking and his blue eyes sparkled and he looked very handsome and made Bebes heart Miss a beat
'Well oh my you look handsome and scrub up well ' said Bebe smiling in shock a little
' Well thank you my lady well I guess I do have your ma ...we I mean your mother and Lady Cunningham to thank for my make over this is her sons stuff and it fits me perfectly ' Kenny said proudly showing off
' Indeed you look very handsome I have to say Grace my dear thank you for dressing the boy he looks like a true first class gentleman now no one will ever guess he's from steerage ' Angela said making Bebe roll her eyes and unaware that cartman was watching he was still jelious of Kenny and how the family accepted him so quickly
well that's that chappy done more to come
