Chapter 18

Today was Saturday and Wendy was happy about it. No school today so she didn't need to wake up early, but the main thing that was happening was that there was going to be a rally to protest against the slaughtering of whales. Wendy slept earlier than usual last night so that she could be fully awake for today. She picked up the phone and called Bebe. She wasn't a person who really cared about the whales, but Bebe had no problem going to a whale rally to support her best friend.

She dialed Bebe's number, and four rings later... "Hey Wendy, how's it going?" Wendy was glad to hear her friends voice.

"I'm excited today!"

"For what?"

"There's a rally against the slaughtering of whales, and I wanted to see if you wanted to go"

"Ah crap Wendy..." Bebe sounded a bit worried.

"What is it Bebe?"

"Kenny and I made plans today"

"Oh..." Wendy said sadly

"Shit Wendy, if I had known this in advance, I would have change the dates"

"No it's ok, have fun with Kenny" although Wendy didn't like that her best friend wasn't going to come to the rally, she was still supportive of Bebe going out with Kenny.

"Ok Wens, your the best, good luck!"

"Thanks Bebe, see ya" Wendy hung up her phone.

Wendy thought about asking Stan to go with her to the rally. Stan had a bigger love to animals than she did, and hell he even had his own tv show that protected whales from the Japanese. She was for sure that Stan would want to come, and it would be nice for the two of them to spend some time together at a rally for the whales. She dialed Stan's number.

There was a bit of delay before Stan picked up his phone"

"Hello?" Stan said, Wendy noticed from his voice that he sounded weak.

"Stan are you ok?" Wendy was concerned about Stan.

"I just got the cold from fucking Kenny... and I just learned that he isn't sick anymore. So pretty much he transferred his cold to me" it was hard to tell from Stan's voice, but he was trying to sound mad.

"Oh that's too bad"

Stan had a question in his mind "Wendy, why did you phone me now?"

"I was going to go to a rally today, to protest against the slaughtering of whales, and I was going to ask if you wanted to come"

"Damn it... I would have loved to go to it. Thank you Kenny for being a douche" Stan said angrily.

Wendy giggled, she found it too funny not to laugh.

"It's not funny Wendy!" Stan tried to sound loud

Wendy stopped her giggling. "Ok Stan, hope you get better soon"

"Thanks Wendy, good luck"

Stan hung up his phone.

Wendy went to her bed to lie down. She didn't know what to do now. She wanted to go to the rally, but she didn't want to go alone. Wendy was now thinking of who to invite. She wasn't getting any ideas of who to ask to come. Wendy turned to look at her poster and remembered there was another poster behind her's, Cartman. That was it, she should invite Cartman. Though there was a reason why Wendy didn't consider Cartman quickly for her other choices, his views on animals... She knew that it couldn't have gone well if she invited him, but she felt that if Cartman was to see a rally, maybe he might understand why he should be somewhat understanding to those who wanna protect the whales.

Wendy took her phone once more and dialled Cartman's number. Luckily she got it from Bebe.

It was a while before someone picked it up, probably Cartman and Kenny were arguing who to pick up the phone.

"Yeah, what do you want?" it sounded like Cartman, who else would sound rude when picking up the phone.

"Cartman"

Cartman was now confused. He knew the voice was Wendy, but the question was that why she was calling him.

"Yeah... what do you want Ho?"

"Hey Cartman, I was wondering if you can meet me at the entrance of the mall at 12"

Cartman was thinking of any possible reasons why Wendy would want to meet him at the mall, but got nothing. "Why?"

"I can't tell you now, but it's a surprise!" Wendy was trying to reel Cartman into going to the mall.

"What kind of surprise?" Cartman was rather intrigued by it.

"Well come here and you'll know Cartman!" Wendy then abruptly closed her phone.

Cartman was trying to understand what the fuck just happened. He didn't want to go, but the mention of the surprise was unfortunately... to tempting to pass.

"So Cartman..." Kenny called from the kitchen "what did Wendy want from you"

"Bitch told me to go to the mall..." Cartman was still confused by this

"For what reason?"

"I don't fucking know, she didn't say why, she just said to go there to meet her"

"Weird" Kenny now was trying to understand what was going on.

"No shit" Cartman walked back into the kitchen. He saw that Kenny was eating a piece of bacon, but Cartman recalled that Kenny already finished his. Cartman turned to his plate and saw that he was missing a piece of bacon. "What the FUCK KENNY! Why the fuck did you took one of my bacon?"

Once Kenny finished the bacon he responded to Cartman "Next time, don't leave it unattended" Kenny said with a smirk. Using the same words Cartman did, when he took ate Kenny's lunch.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Cartman screamed as he was running towards Kenny. He saw that Cartman was serious, and he jumped out of his seat, and started running.

Wendy was now at the entrance of the mall waiting for Cartman. She checked her phone on what time it was. It was now 12:17pm. She was wondering why it was taking Cartman so long to get here. She thought that maybe Cartman didn't want to meet her... Wendy was starting to lose hope... when suddenly in the distance, she saw a blue hat in the distance and knew it had to be Cartman. Wendy waved to let Cartman know where she was. As Cartman got closer, she saw in his face that he looked a bit ticked off. Cartman was finally at the entrance of the mall.

"There you are Cartman, I was wondering if you were going to show up"

"Well I shouldn't even be here, it's fucking Saturday... Anyway, you said that there was a surprise.

"Yeah that is true"

Cartman eye balled the Raven haired girl to see if she was telling the truth. While checking her he noticed that behind her, was a poster.

"Wait a minute, why the fuck do you have a poster behind you?"

Wendy had a grin on her face.

Cartman wasn't sure what was happening, but soon recalled where he has seen that poster before. "Oh shit! Don't fucking tell me..."

"Yep, we're going to a rally for whales!" Wendy said excitingly.

Cartman on the other hand didn't share Wendy's feelings towards it. He was in disbelief that Wendy called him, to meet her at the entrance of the mall, just to learn that the big surprise was a rally for whales.

"No way! I am NOT going to a fucking hippie rally!" he detested

"Cartman it's not a hippie rally, it's a rally for whales"

"Same fucking deal!" he blatantly said.

"Trust me Cartman, it'll be fun!" Wendy was hoping that it would convince him to go, apparently she did not know Cartman at all.

"I'd rather be ass fucked by Stan and Kyle at the same time, while looking back and watching them make out" Cartman was dead serious when he said it

Unfortunately for Wendy, she had a vivid imagination, which sucks for her because she pictured the entire thing clearly, and it wasn't something Wendy wanted to picture. "Wow Cartman... I did not want to picture that..." she truly regretted.

"Well if you're done wasting my time Ho, I think I'll be leaving now!" Cartman was now walking away

"Come on Cartman!"

"Nope, too bad" as he waved behind her.

"Fine Cartman! I'll make a deal"

Cartman stopped on his tracks, the word 'deal' from Wendy's mouth instantly got him hooked. He turned around and walked back to her.

"Ok, let's hear your deal then Hippie"

"Listen up Cartman. I got a credit card with me right now" she went into her pants pocket and took out the credit card to show Cartman. "If you go to the rally, I'll buy you all the ice cream you want"

Cartman was liking Wendy's deal, but he felt that there was a catch.

"Why ice cream though?"

"The question is why not ice cream?" Wendy answered his question with another question.

"Touche Hippie, touche. Cartman said as he was rubbing his chin. He did like how Wendy had a good point there about the ice cream. Now Cartman was deciding whether she should go or not.

"Ok fine, I'll go to the rally for the ice cream then"

"Wait Cartman, there's more to it"

Cartman knew it. "What is it?"

"During the entire rally, you are not to make fun of the whales!"

Cartman didn't like that, but it was something he was expecting, since he was going to a rally for whales. "Fine, I won't make fun of the pussy ass whales..."

"Wait there's more Cartman"

Cartman face palmed himself, there was more to this deal. "Fucking great..."

"You can not make any jokes about Hippies there" Wendy was laying down these rules like it was her job. Cartman was hating every thing she was saying (more than usual).

"You have got to be shitting me!" Wendy was now taking one of Cartman's most pleasurable things to do, making fun of god damn Hippies.

"Just to be safe Cartman, no Jew jokes either"

"WHAT!" Cartman felt so depressed now. Wendy pretty much locked him down from doing the things he was planing to do once he got to the rally.

"So Cartman... do we got a deal?"

Cartman was hesitant to the deal. On one hand, he gets all the free ice cream he wants, on the other hand he can't make fun of Hippies, whales, or Jews. Cartman thought long and heard to decide on what he wanted.

"F-fine, I'll take the deal..." Cartman felt like he had just picked one of the lesser evils.

"Awesome then Cartman! Wendy checked her phone again to see what time it is now. It was 12:45pm. "Looks like we got 15 minutes before the rally, let's go before we're late"

Wendy was rushing to where the rally was going to be held. Cartman on the other hand was walking as slow as possible to it. While moving quickly to the rally, she noticed that Cartman was nowhere near her sights, she wonder where he was until she turned around to see that Cartman was far away from her. She saw that he was moving slowly. Although Cartman was far away from her, she let out a groan, to see if Cartman could hear that, for once he did not. Wendy ran back to Cartman.

"Hurry up Cartman!"

"Ay, you said I had to go to the rally, but you never mentioned the rate of speed I had to go to be there"

Cartman was a bit satisfied that he was able to find a loop hole into their deal.

Wendy just rolled her eyes at Cartman, he was not being cooperative at all. Well that was something to be expected from Cartman.

"We are going to be there on time!"

"How are you going to make that happen?" Cartman believed that there was nothing Wendy could do to get him at that rally on time.

"Oh just this" Wendy said in an innocent manner

"Huh?" Before Cartman could think of anything, Wendy grabbed onto Cartman's hand. Cartman was stunned and confused at what was happening. Wendy then ran once she had her grip on his hand. Cartman at first lost his balance, due to the unexpected running. He regained his balance and soon was running with Wendy. Cartman at first tried to stop her running by not moving at all, hoping that Wendy would not have the strength to move Cartman, but he was wrong. Wendy's grip was really strong, and it indicate to him that Wendy was probably strong enough to drag him to the rally. When he tried to stop moving, Wendy would pull on his arm, and it would hurt like a bitch. Cartman was actually nervous that if he stopped moving completely, Wendy might accidentally rip off his arm. Cartman was surprised at Wendy's strength, but was also impressed by it. The last time she exhibited her strength, was when he and Wendy fought back in school, when he was being a complete douche to the breast cancer issue. Cartman thought that her strength had dwindle in the passing years, but he was completely wrong. Cartman was actually kind of glad she had this strength left because it meant she wasn't a total pussy after all, at least not like Stan and Kyle.

They arrived at the rally. Wendy was happy to finally be there, Cartman on the other hand, wish he had a flamethrower to torch all these God damn hippies.

"Here Cartman" Wendy passed him the poster he made a while back.

"Oh God damn it!" he said in annoyance.

"Don't forget to show it up high too Cartman"

Cartman hated that he had to show his poster at this rally, it made him look like he actually cared about the whales.

"Fuck, this place smells like pot!"

"Cartman!"

"Ay! All I did was stated what I smelled, that's it" Cartman had a good defence against Wendy

As much as Wendy wanted to argue to Cartman about that, he was totally right, all he did was stated what he smelled, and the place did reek of a nasty smell.

"How long is this rally supposed to be?"

"About six hours long"

Cartman froze for a minute when he heard that, six hours long is the amount of time he will have to deal with this. Cartman did not believe he would survive it. Cartman went down on his knee and started to pray.

"Dear God, if you are truly a kind and benevolent being, then you will do the right thing, and strike me down now!"

Wendy shock her head in disbelief at what Cartman is doing right now. "Damn it Cartman, stop being such a drama queen"

Cartman took a second to look at Wendy angrily and went back to praying.

Wendy just groaned at him.

The rally soon started, and everyone there was up and ready for it, except for Cartman of course. He just wanted to kill himself, by ripping his balls off with his own hands and shoving them down his throat. While the rally was going on, Cartman did his best to ignore everything that was coming out of that God forsaken Hippie's mouth. He wrapped his poster around his head to prevent anyone to see his face at the rally. He first imagined a scenario where he resurrected Adolf Hitler, and was leading the Nazi army with Hitler. Where he went to find Kyle, and kill him. Cartman was enjoying his day dream, until he was interrupted by the smell of pot. It was so strong, since the guy beside him was smoking one right now. Cartman moved as far as he can away from him, though it was kind of hard, since a poster was blocking his vision. He continued his day dream by having the Nazi party go on war again against the world, launching a WWIII, he kept dreaming until the day of victory in his head. He was hoping that when he was done with the day dream, that the rally would over, but only 30 minutes has passed. Cartman was pissed, since that was the main thing he wanted to day dream the most and it wasn't as long as he wanted.

Wendy was listening very intently and was enjoying every word she was hearing. She soon was day dreaming, not because she was bored, but because she was picturing a world where whales would live freely and peacefully. She was enjoying it until she heard a snore. At first, Wendy was wondering who it could have been, but knew that the only person here who would have even dare to sleep at this wonderful speech. She turned around to find Cartman standing up, his poster surrounding his face, and his head titled down. She walked up right in front of him and smacked him on the side of the head.

Cartman jumped, and was for sure now awake.

"Cartman, don't you dare try to go to sleep!"

"Jesus fucking Christ!" rubbing the side of his face now, though the poster wasn't making it any easier.

"Didn't need to hit me bitch!" Cartman was for sure pissed off now because he was dreaming of the day dream he had before.

"Well don't be sleeping then" Wendy frowned at Cartman, but forgot that he had the poster around his head.

"God damn it, how much longer left until it's done?"

Wendy checked her phone to see how much time they had left "Four and a half hours"

"FUCK!" weirdly enough no one heard that. The people here were probably baked out of their minds to have heard anything he had say, or plans to say for the next hour or two.

He now had to figure out a new plan to make four and a half hours go by as fast as possible. While thinking, Cartman went into his pocket and found out that he had an Ipod this whole time. He praised the lord and took the headphones and plugged them into his ears. For the next two hours, the music was able to drown out the sounds of the speaker. Wendy was getting a bit suspicious about Cartman, since she didn't hear much of a compliant from him. She turned around to check on Cartman and saw that there were cords coming from his pants, she knew that it was headphones, and that Cartman was listening to his Ipod. She walked up to Cartman, but he couldn't hear anything due to his music. She grabbed on to the cord, and yanked it away from Cartman. Cartman at first was wondering why he wasn't hearing any music. He thought that the song was finish and was having a bit of delay, but after a minute he was wondering what happened. He checked his pocket to see his Ipod, but couldn't feel it. He was wondering what the hell happened to his Ipod. He took his poster off to see that Wendy was in front of him, holding his Ipod.

"Damn it Ho, give me back my Ipod!"

"No, you are going to listen to this, and that's final!" Wendy then turned her back and was listening to the speaker.

Cartman was seriously getting irritated by this, he could not catch a break from Wendy. Cartman did what he thought best, think of ways of how Kyle could die. He thought as much deaths as possible to Kyle to keep his mind occupied. Cartman was able to keep Kyle dying in his head in new and inventive ways. He thought up of 143658 ways for Kyle to die, not a bad amount for only 2 and a half hours of thinking he thought. Cartman was too busy of thinking of ways for Kyle to die, that he didn't even hear when Wendy was calling him.

"Cartman!" Wendy screamed at Cartman, but no effect.

Wendy was tired of Cartman not hearing her, so she smacked him on the back of his head.

"OUCH!" Cartman turned around to see it was Wendy "The fuck was that for Ho?"

"Um Cartman... it's done"

Cartman for a second was baffled at what she was talking about. He turned around to see that the people here were now leaving. He couldn't believe that he managed to zone out the entire time"

"Ah shit, finally!" Cartman was ecstatic to learn that it was finally over, he survived this ordeal

"You didn't listen to a single word he said, didn't you" Wendy looked straight at him, he knew that she was right, and had to think of something fast.

"Y-yeah I did" Cartman sounded nervous.

"What did the speaker said then Cartman" Wendy knew that Cartman was lying.

"Killing whales is wrong" that was sadly the best lie Cartman could think of.

Wendy gave him a disappointed look, she was sadden by the fact he chose to ignore everything the speaker said.

"Damn it Cartman... couldn't you have at least tried to pay attention to it"

"Are you high? Wait don't answer that"

Wendy obviously knew what Cartman meant by that and was not pleased.

"Anyway, I held up my part of the deal Ho, I believe it's your turn now" Cartman said with a smirk on his face.

Wendy totally forgot about it. "Oh yeah, I did say that" now realizing the reason why Cartman even came.

"Well we better get to it then, my stomach is hungry from all the work I did trying to ignore all the shit I was hearing"

Wendy gave Cartman an angry face, but his back was turned so he didn't see it. Wendy then decided to catch up to him.

Wendy and Cartman entered the ice cream parlour they had in South Park. Luckily for this place, it hadn't been destroyed, so that made life a lot easier for the owner. As Cartman got inside, he saw all the flavours they had, and the extra stuffs you can add to it. Cartman's mouth was drooling like a waterfall in the amazon. Wendy on the other hand was worried about the cost it was going to be to pay for Cartman.

"Hello sir, what would you like to have today"

Cartman looked over the counter to see what he had, and thought about this through before answering.

"Ah yes my good gentlemen, I'd like to have everything"

The owner there cleaned his ears off to make sure he was hearing correctly "W-what did you say?"

"I said I would like everything, and don't you dare skip on anything, it's all being paid for" Cartman gloated.

Wendy knew that Cartman would have made this pricey, but not to this extreme. She was afraid to see her parents reaction when they see the bill next month.

"Are you sure sir?" The owner still was not believing this.

"Yes"

"O-ok then"

The owner then took out his scooping spoon, and started to scoop out the ice cream. He scooped out four times for each flavour the owner had, and he had a lot, about 30 kinds, and some that Cartman didn't even heard about, but it was all good since he wasn't paying for it. After the man scooped the ice cream from all his flavour, there was a super large bowl at the counter, the ones that were used for a kids birthday party, for a size of 10 kids. Wendy's mouth was open during the entire time, she was afraid to even ask how Cartman would be able to eat all of that.

"Ok there you go sir, all the flavours we had, and even the ones that I didn't know we even created."

"Good, very good!" Cartman said with excitement.

"Um would you be needing anything else?" the owner was kind of afraid to hear Cartman's response.

"Nah I'm good" Cartman then took his large ass ice cream bowl to the table, and started to eat it.

Wendy knew that this was going to be expensive, but she was a bit hungry too, and another bill in the card wasn't going to do much anyway. Wendy went up to the counter and asked for a small vanilla ice cream. She noticed that there were toppings too for the ice cream. She was rather shocked that Cartman didn't get any of the toppings. Though it wasn't a big surprise, since Cartman was too focused on all the ice cream he was getting. She asked for sprinkles on hers. While checking for other stuff she saw that the owner had oreos. She was drawn to it the moment she saw it. Its been a while since she's eaten it, she somewhat forgot about them. Wendy felt a bit sadden that she was able to forget about something so tasty like that. She asked for the oreos too, but to be put on a separate bowl. After getting her order, she went to the table where Cartman was at and started to eat her ice cream. Wendy ate about a quarter of her's before looking at Cartman's progression on his bowl. It looked like Cartman was about 2/5 of the way down, she was trying to figure out how was Cartman eating so fast, and yet he didn't receive a brain freeze. These questions were ones that were never to be solve, so she soon dropped it and went back to eating. A few minutes later, Wendy finished her ice cream, she was wondering what to do now, and she remembered that she had those oreos here, and started thinking.

"Hey Cartman"

Cartman for once actually heard someone's voice while eating. "What?"

"Do you want one?"

Cartman looked at her and saw what she was giving him, a quadruple stack oreo. Cartman couldn't believe it, it's been ages since he seen one of those, and the last time he did, was the time he and Wendy were working together on their debate on why the South Park flag should be changed.

"Shit..." Cartman was stunned to see it.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes" Wendy felt kinda of funny to see Cartman shocked to the quadruple oreo.

"Yeah... It's just been a while since I've seen one"

Cartman took the oreo from Wendy. "Cartman, I got some more if you want" Wendy showed him the bowl of the other quadruple stacked oreos.

As Wendy took a bit of her oreo, she noticed that Cartman didn't completely devour his oreo, but he seemed to be eating it slowly. She noticed that he was looking outside of the window, looking at the sunset, Cartman's face looked completely different though. His face didn't have the same arrogant, angry, hateful look to it, but a rather innocent look to it, like the face she saw when Cartman was sleeping on the couch. There was more to it though, Cartman was too proud to exhibit it, but his face showed pain that he felt. His eyes looked like it was surrounded by sadness. At first Wendy couldn't believe what she was seeing, a side of Cartman that showed that he had actually human emotions, other than hate. Wendy didn't know how to respond to it really. A part of her knew that she shouldn't meddle in Cartman's personal life, but another part of her said that she wanted to help him. That deep down, Eric Cartman was hurting. Wendy, still thinking about it, decided that she should get another oreo, as she went to pick it up, she felt another hand in it. She turned to see that Cartman was also going for the oreo, and from the looks of it, it was the last one.

"Oh sorry" both said at the same time. It was weird for Wendy, the fact that they said the sorry at the same time, and the fact that Cartman even said he was sorry.

"You can have it" again they both said it at the same time.

"Whoa" he found this to be a bit trippy

"Weird" this felt too strange for Wendy.

"Reminds you of the flag debate doesn't it" Cartman informed her how weird it was the first time it happened in the library

"Yeah it does" Wendy laughed a bit after recalling the memories at the library.

Wendy noticed that Cartman wasn't eating his ice cream no more, and there was a lot of it left. "Cartman, are you going to finish your ice cream?"

"Huh?" Cartman looked at his bowl, he forgot that he was eating ice cream the whole time. "Oh... I guess I'm not hungry no more then"

Wendy was confused, a second ago Cartman was eating the ice cream like there was no tomorrow, then after the oreo, he stopped all together. She was wondering if the oreo triggered something bad for Cartman.

Now that Cartman was 'done' eating, she went to pay for the ice cream. Her ice cream was about three dollars, while Cartman's was 500 dollars. Wendy completely froze once she heard the price of it. Cartman started to laugh when he heard the price. It looks like Cartman was back to himself now at least. She paid for it regrettably, and the two exited the ice cream parlour.

"Well looks like the day went pretty well" Cartman enjoying that Wendy was gonna get in trouble once her parents find out the bill.

"Whatever Cartman, you ignored the speaker for 6 hours and you bought all that ice cream, and only finished 2/5 of it"

"Like I said, the day went pretty well" reinforcing that it went well for him.

Wendy just groaned.

Wendy checked her phone, and saw that it was 8 now, and the sky was getting darker now. She knew she should probably go home. She called her parents to pick her up at the ice cream parlour.

"Cartman, do you want a ride to your place, my parents are going to pick me up and thought you could use a ride"

"Nah, I'm good"

"Are you sure Cartman? Your place is pretty far from here"

"Like I said, I'm good" Cartman sounded a bit annoyed.

"You don't got to be a jerk about it" Wendy didn't like how he treated her act of kindness.

"Well it's not my fault if you get touchy about me saying no"

"Damn it Cartman, why do you got to be so stubborn!"

Cartman laughed at Wendy "You forget who you're talking to" as he pointed to himself.

Her feelings weren't hurt as much no more, she found that pretty funny.

"I guess you're right" as she giggled.

"You guess? I'm fucking Eric Cartman, when the fuck am I not right?" he sure was modest about it.

She just rolled her eyes at Cartman.

A few minutes later, her parents soon arrived.

"Alright Cartman see ya"

"I guess same then..."

Although it still wasn't a good bye, it was better than nothing.

Wendy got into her parents car, and they drove her home, while Cartman walked back to his house.

It looks like the oreos played a more interesting role in this than Wendy thought.

Personally, this one was surprisingly easy to write when I first was working on it. Somehow, it flowed quite nicely in my opinion. Hope you guys find it the same way as I did XD.

Anyway, thanks again for reading and hoped you enjoyed it.
