Chapter 5: The Dream

The wind was silent… the ground a messy wet of leaves and mud. "Where the hell am I?" Cartman muttered looking around. The place was silent as a graveyard at midnight. "Alright seriously what's going on here?" Cartman said annoyed. Suddenly a yellow light appeared behind him. He turned to find the light coming from a house. But not just any house… it was the little run-down green house of the McCormick's. He sighed as he decided to approach the poor house. He was about to knock when suddenly he heard shouts from inside. He opened the surprisingly unlocked door and then went inside. In the living room he could see the family gathered. Kevin and Karen were standing against the far wall. Karen was hiding her face in her shirt, and Kevin was holding her close to him.

Carol was standing by an old green chair shouting at Stuart who was standing by the doorway closest to Cartman with a fist raised in the air. Kenny was on the floor of the house. He had his body inclined close to himself as if trying to hide from the world. "Stuart stop this now! It's just a silly beer!" Carol shouted.

"Carol stop being so damn easy on these kids! They need to learn discipline!" Stuart shouted back.

"Daddy please stop!" Karen cried.

"Stay out of it Karen!" he responded. Karen turned away as she cried into Kevin's chest.

"Dad I'm sorry… I-I don't know what happened to your beer" Kenny whimpered from the floor.

"Fucking liar! I know you stole it now fuss up!" Stuart yelled kicking Kenny's side.

"Stuart!" Carol yelled louder.

"Fine why don't you deal with the little shit?! Let's see if he learns any crap under your orders!" Stuart replied stepping back.

"This has gone on long enough. You're scaring our kids and I'm sick of it" Carol stated.

"Oh please like you'd ever do anything about it. You couldn't manage by yourself we're poor enough as it is" Stuart exclaimed. Meanwhile Kenny managed to stand up shakily. "Did I tell you to get up boy?" Stuart warned.

"I-I'm sorry…" Kenny shuttered.

"Apologizing has lost its edge in this house kid. Now get back down on that floor!" he shouted. Kenny staggered back a bit while staring his father in the face. "You challenging my authority?" he said.

"N-No dad…" Kenny said backing up again.

"Well if you won't get on the floor I'll make you" he said then his fist landed down onto Kenny's face over his eye. Kenny let out a wail as he landed hard to the ground covering his eye. Karen and Kevin screamed from fear.

"How dare you bastard!" Carol shouted.

"Bring it bitch!" Stuart yelled back. Cartman then decided he couldn't watch this anymore.

He came forward and tapped Kenny's dad's shoulder. "What do you want?" Stuart said annoyed by the new presence. Cartman said nothing as he punched him square in the face. He landed with a thud. Carol, Karen, and Kevin all stared at Cartman. Kenny removed his hand from his black eye.

"C-Cartman?" Kenny whimpered seeing him. Cartman approached Kenny and then offered his hand to help him up. Kenny took it then hugged Cartman surprisingly. "Thank you!" Kenny said in the hug.

"It literally was nothing" Cartman muttered. Kenny backed away from the hug and looked him in the eyes with a small smile.

"Well it feels like something to me…" Kenny replied.

"Whatever" Cartman said shrugging. A few minutes of silence pass when Cartman decides its time to go. But before he could back away from Kenny, Kenny was kissing him. Cartman's eyes widened in surprise. Kenny's were closed and he was still smiling. But before the kiss could continue any longer the area faded into a white light…

~ (Midnight in Cartman's room)

Cartman awoke suddenly finding a white light blinding him. "Sorry I just needed the light on to grab something…" Kenny apologized while he was beside the light switch. Cartman sighed.

"Whatever dude…" he responded. Kenny then left the room. Cartman sat up rubbing his eyes. "Jesus what the hell was that dream for?" Cartman asked himself. Kenny came back into the room then.

"Well I'll turn the light off now" Kenny said turning the switch. Kenny went back over to his make-shift bed and covered himself up. Cartman laid back down onto his bed staring at the ceiling.

"What a strange dream…" Cartman muttered before closing his eyes again.

Vivian: Well that's the end of this chapter! Have a great however long I'm gone! Next chapter is about Kyle and Stan! :D
