Chapter 19
It was a Sunday morning. Kyle arrived at the kitchen to see his family eating breakfast. Gerald was at the table drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper. Ike was eating a bowl of cereal happily. Terrance and Phillip was airing this morning and Ike was really excited for it. Kyle and Ike used to watch the show together, but once Kyle got bored of it he stopped watching it. Though he would watch it with Ike still from time to time as a little brotherly bond. Kyle wasn't for sure what to eat, so he decided just to eat cereal. He went to get a bowl and a spoon, went to the fridge to pick up the milk, and went back to the table and poured the cereal in with the milk.
As Kyle was eating his cereal, he looked up to see Ike. He was now ten years old. Kyle reviewed his experiences back in elementary school... man did he miss those times. The time when being a kid meant you could do anything. Especially all the adventures he and his friends went through during those years. Some were amazing, fun adventures and that he wished to live through once again. Others he wished that never happened because it was a load of bullshit. All those experiences though was what made their childhood so fun and eventful.
South Park hasn't been the same once they entered middle school and high school. They haven't gone through any adventures, dealt with douche-bag celebrities, or the entire destruction of South Park. The town was rather peaceful and calm, (to the degree of him and Cartman fighting) the people here have smarten up, somewhat.
He also started to remember Chef, the man who was there for the kids, through all the problems they had. Chef was like the boys mentor in life. The four boys all missed him very much still, and would go to his grave every year to pay respects to him, and to remember everything he taught them. From starting the fire alarm so he could find his brother from the aliens, to the time when Chef assisted Cartman on killing the Hippies, and to his untimely death. The only thing Kyle regretted for Ike was that he would never know who Chef was, and that there would never be another person like Chef to help Ike in life. Kyle knew that he would be able to help Ike out in life, since he can pass the teachings of Chef to his little bro, though he probably wouldn't be able to sing out every advice he would give to Ike. After Kyle finished remembering his elementary school years, he was hoping that Ike would have the same fun and eventful time with his friends as Kyle has.
Once Kyle finished his cereal, he went upstairs to brush his teethes. Once he was done, he went into his room to change into his normal clothes. He grabbed his backpack and walked out of his room. Today he was going to Rebecca's house so they can work and study together. He walked downstairs and saw that Ike was watching the Terrance and Phillip show. As Kyle was putting on his shoes, Ike noticed that he was at the door.
"Where you going Kyle?"
"I'm going to a friend's place Ike"
"Ok, tell Stan I said hi"
"I'm not going to Stan's house"
Ike gave Kyle a curious look, usually Kyle only goes to Stan's place because they were best friends, and from what he heard from Kyle was that Kenny's house was poor, and Cartman was an asshole.
Kyle noticed that Ike was giving him a curious look to him. "What's with the look Ike?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious. This is the first time that I've heard that you're going to a friends place that isn't Stan's"
"Why does it matter?" Kyle still wanted to know why Ike gave him that look.
"I didn't think you had any other friends than Stan" Ike teased him.
Looks like Ike sure did pick up a few things from Stan.
"Haha, so funny Ike" Kyle said sarcastically.
"Anyway Ike, I'll see you later"
"Bye Kyle" Ike's eyes was too focused on the tv to look at Kyle.
Kyle opened the door and was now walking to Rebecca's house. A few steps later he was getting a call. Kyle checked his phone to see that it was Stan, he answered the call.
"Hey Stan, what's sup"
"Bad, I'm still sick" Kyle could tell from Stan's voice that he was for sure sick.
"Ouch man, that sucks"
"I know. Anyway Kyle, I need you to come to my house, it's so boring being in bed all day"
Kyle laughed at Stan when he heard "Sorry man, I can't come to your house today"
"Why?" Stan wanted to know. In the past, when one of them were sick the other would go to their house and hang out so they wouldn't get too bored. The two of them have done this for a quite a while now, and Stan didn't like the fact that Kyle wouldn't be coming to cheer him up.
"I'm going to Rebecca's house to work and study"
"Oh come on man, you gonna leave your best friend like this..." as Stan coughs a bit to the phone to signify his sickness.
"I'm sorry man, but you know how much I gotta work to obtain my grades, and with Rebecca's help, it makes things a lot easier"
Stan didn't like the fact that he was going to Rebecca's house to work there, Kyle could have easily gone to his house and do both, study and hanging out. Stan knew though that Kyle really cared about his grade, so it was best for Kyle to get any extra help he can get.
"Alright Kyle, go to Rebecca's house, I'll see you tomorrow if I'm not so sick"
Kyle was happy to hear his friend's response "Alright man, good luck on the cold"
"Ha, your telling me!"
Stan hung up the phone. Kyle didn't like that he left his friend alone with a cold, since Stan has always came to him when he was sick and vice versa, but he knew that Stan would understand that skipping one time wouldn't be a big deal.
After a five minute walk, Kyle arrived at Rebecca's house. He looked at the place and nothing seemed to change much on the outside. He was wondering if the inside has changed, and the garden in the backyard also. He knocked three times to see if anyone was home. After a few seconds, Kyle heard thumps going down the stairs, someone was coming to the door.
"H-hello, who is it?" the voice was Rebecca's.
"It's Kyle"
"O-ok, give me a second"
Rebecca was unlocking the locks, but it took a while before the door actually open.
"There y-you go" Rebecca finally opened the door.
"Thanks Rebecca" Kyle entered inside the home, he turned around to see Rebecca. She was closing the door and locking it.
"Dang Rebecca, isn't that a bit excessive" Kyle said as he saw the locks, there was about 10 locks there.
"Papa says y-you can never be too s-safe"
"I guess but sheesh" Kyle was kinda of worried to see that many locks, did the events at the school made Mr. Cotswolds scared for his safety or what?
Once Rebecca finished with locking the locks, she took Kyle upstairs to her room. When Kyle arrived at her room, he jumped into her bed, and got his books out to start working.
"Shall we start Rebecca" as Kyle opened his textbooks.
Rebecca gave Kyle a confused look. Like he was playing mind tricks with her.
"What's wrong Rebecca?
"W-working on the bed?" she wasn't following it.
"What's wrong with that Rebecca, haven't you ever work at your bed before?"
"N-no"
"Why not?"
"I-it just seems so i-irrational"
"You should try it, it feels more relax than sitting on a chair"
Rebecca thought it was a bit too weird, but she trusted Kyle, so she went onto her bed with her books. She was sitting on her bed, her books were on her feet. He was right, the soft bed made it relaxing to work on, though writing was a bit tricky, it wasn't so bad.
"You w-were right Kyle!" Rebecca sounded so surprised.
"Sounds like you were doubting me, I see..."
"N-no, that's not what I meant..."
Kyle started to laugh. "Ha ha, I'm kidding Rebecca, I know what you mean, being introduce to a new idea can sometimes feel strange"
"Y-yes it can be" Rebecca relaxed after she learned that Kyle was joking.
"Let's start on question 5 Rebecca, I had some troubles with it at home"
"O-ok" Rebecca was glad to be working now, something she was comfortable at.
Kyle and Rebecca were now working on their assignments. Kyle was stuck on a few questions, but Rebecca was able to help him understand it and figure it out. After about thirty minutes into it, Kyle was done with his first assignment which was good because it was the hardest one he had for the weekend, so the rest of them were going to be a simpler. Rebecca was done with that assignment fifteen minutes ago and was already working on another one, but she always stopped to help Kyle when he needed. Once he was doing the easy assignments, it was starting to get bored because he didn't really need to concentrate on it, and it was too quiet. He thought that maybe some small talk with Rebecca could make things less boring, and he could learn a little more about Rebecca.
"So Rebecca, how are you liking the public school so far?"
She stopped writing on her assignment and looked at Kyle. "I-it seems to be at an acceptable l-level"
"Huh?" Kyle turned his head in confusion
"W-what I mean is that public school is an o-ok place to go, but it's education system i-is what you say sucky"
Rebecca hesitated on the word sucky like she was having a hard saying.
Kyle laughed, he thought the way Rebecca said 'sucky' was cute. "Ha, I guess so, from the comparison between the two of us, we can easily see which provides the better education" Kyle smiled towards the shy girl.
Rebecca knew what he meant by that, that he was commenting her on her intelligence. "T-thanks Kyle"
Kyle saw something on Rebecca's face, he couldn't make it out completely, but he believe he saw a little smile from Rebecca. It was a faint of a smile, the one that you need a microscope for, but just seeing that made Kyle feel happy, to see that he made Rebecca feel good about herself.
"Rebecca, have you made any other friends while you've been here"
"N-nope"
"How come Rebecca?" Kyle knew that part of it was due to her shyness, but he was curious if there was anything else.
"T-the people here don't seem s-so nice" Rebecca said bluntly.
"What, really?" Kyle was intrigued from what she said.
"I-in my other classes I hear the girls t-talk about other girls who I b-believe are not in the room, mean stuff I think"
"Ah, so they were talking behind they're backs" Kyle was quite impressed that Rebecca was able to hear that, or maybe those girls were being too loud.
"I-I believe so then, and the t-teachers don't seem to c-care about the students at all"
"Well, have you looked at their salaries" Kyle started to laugh when he said that, he thought it was pretty good. Rebecca knew that it sounded pretty funny in her head because of the teachers low pay, but she hasn't experience laughing too much, so she gave a little chuckle.
"Anyone else that doesn't look nice?" Kyle asked.
"T-that Craig person"
"How come?"
"H-he's always giving the middle finger, I-I don't know what it means, b-but from other peoples reaction i-it seems to be an unkindly thing to do"
Kyle for a second there didn't think that was a bad thing, but he forgotten that Rebecca hasn't been to public school, and with the way her parents are, chances are that she's never heard of 'fuck' before, or seen the middle finger till now. Kyle was thinking about Craig flipping the finger, and he felt that to Craig, it was like breathing air, it just came naturally to Craig. Kyle has seen the finger and heard fuck so many times, it's effect has really diminished quite a bit and it doesn't sound so bad, but to someone like Rebecca he can see why.
"Don't worry about Craig it's just what he does, it doesn't mean anything really"
"O-oh ok then" Rebecca was quite confused by what Kyle said, what Craig did looked bad from other people's reaction, but Kyle said that it doesn't mean anything. She felt that what Kyle said didn't make sense at all. She thought that it was something she would learn soon in due time.
"Is that everything you can think of Rebecca?"
Rebecca tried to recall anyone else that seemed not nice
"I-I think so Kyle"
"Don't worry about it Rebecca, I'm sure Stan and my friend Kenny would be glad to be your friend, Cartman on the other hand might just be a jerk.
"Ok Kyle"
The two soon went back to working on their assignments. Kyle was glad to have talked with Rebecca, having her see some of the stuff that goes on high school was a good start. Kyle was quite surprised that she didn't mention Cartman as people that weren't nice, but he thought since that Rebecca is always at the library, they might have not cross paths yet. It was an hour later and Kyle was getting really bored of this. He was able to finish a lot of his assignments, but he seriously did not want to do anymore, he needed a break. Kyle turned to look at Rebecca, he saw that she was already done her assignments and was just double checking everything to be sure. This was a sure sign that they should do something now, since Rebecca was done and Kyle was close to done.
"Hey Rebecca"
Rebecca took her head off her assignment and looked at Kyle. "Y-yes?"
"We should take a break!"
"Y-you haven't finished your assignments y-yet" Rebecca pointed to the three sheets he had left.
"Ah don't worry, I can finish them later and from the looks of it you could use a break too from doubling checking your answers"
Rebecca looked at her assignments and she knew he was right. She had been sitting there for a long time, doing nothing except for doubling checking her answers, which she was done a long time ago.
"O-ok Kyle, but what should we do?"
"I'm not too sure, what can we do at your house anyway?"
Rebecca was trying to think of something the two of them can do, but there wasn't really much. All she ever did was study and work, she didn't even watch the tv.
"I-I don't know"
"Hmm" Kyle was thinking of something to do. There was one thing that came to his mind.
"What about the garden in the back?
"Wh-what about it?"
"Let's go there, it be nice to get some fresh air with the flowers"
"O-ok then"
Kyle leaped off the bed and was glad not to be working. A few seconds later Rebecca joined with Kyle. After going downstairs, the two of them went to the backyard. Once Kyle saw it, he was still amazed at this place, it still looked lovely as the last time he was here, though unfortunately some of the flowers were dying now. Something to be expected, it was December. As they walked down the pathway, they saw the same seat they sat when they were kids, Kyle thought it be pretty cool to sit there again.
Kyle stretched as he sat on the bench. "Finally some fresh air!"
Rebecca sat down beside him, she watched the way Kyle was stretching and she thought it was kinda cute. She giggled a bit
Kyle heard that and was surprised how it sounded so joyful. He soon remembered the reason she was laughing was because he looked kind of silly stretching, so he started to laugh too.
After Kyle stopped laughing, he saw a daisy in the distance. He got up and walked over there, picked it up, and was walking back to the bench.
"Here you go Rebecca" he handed over the daisy
"T-thanks Kyle" Rebecca smiled a bit, blushing a bit.
Once he passed her the daisy, he looked up at the sky.
"Rebecca"
She was quite curious why Kyle called her. "Y-yes?"
"Do you remember the day when we came to the backyard?"
"Y-yes, it was a peaceful day just like this o-one, except t-this time you didn't tape a message on m-my dog"
Kyle chuckled a bit "Yeah I remember that, but do you also remember the other stuff that happened?"
"Yes, you talked about l-love... and then we kissed"
"Yeah, I was wondering" as Kyle looks at Rebecca. "If you remember what love was?"
"I-I think so, but it was so v-vague Kyle"
"Do you remember what it feels like?"
"I don't know Kyle, i-it's been so long"
"Maybe you might... remember it..." Kyle was leaning closer to Rebecca. She saw what Kyle was doing and knew what he was going to do to her. He was going to kiss her, Rebecca couldn't remember how she kissed Kyle the first time, but she remembered that you 'just do it'. Soon both of their lips touch, and the feelings of love came back to Rebecca, how emotionally amazing it felt. Kyle was so happy to be kissing a intellectual, sweet girl, even though she has a hard time exhibiting that sweet side. He was glad to kiss someone who he really cared about in his life, and who he felt he loved. The kiss this time was not brief as when they were kids but a long and fulfilling one. They soon stop kissing to recall what happened.
"Wow!" Rebecca said with excitement.
As Kyle smiled at the girl. "Still as amazing as our first kiss when we were kids"
"It s-sure was!" Rebecca was looking very happy, a big smile was on her face, the most beautiful one Kyle has ever seen.
"So Rebecca, do you remember how love feels?"
"Yes" Rebecca leaned in to kiss Kyle once more, but for a brief moment. "I do"
"I guess this makes us boyfriend and girlfriend then Rebecca"
"It looks like it!" Rebecca said happily
Kyle wrapped his arm around Rebecca, as the two were looking at the sky. Kyle felt like this was the best day ever, he was so happy to have Rebecca as a girlfriend and was hoping this moment never ends.
Looks like their second kiss was better than the first time.
Another chapter for Kyle and Rebecca. Sorry for those who wanted more Cartman and Wendy, you're just going to have to wait for a little bit :P
I do wish that there was more fanfics for the two of them, I enjoy the two of them as a couple a lot.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and thanks again for reading. :D
