Chapter 22
Friday came faster than the group expected, but they weren't complaining though, it meant the weekend was starting then. The plan was for the group to meet at the bowling alley at 8 o clock. Stan was going to be driving the guys to the bowling alley, while Bebe was driving the girls there. The reason it was going to be like this was because since Rebecca wanted to get to know Bebe and Wendy more, it be a good idea for her to be with the two girls alone during the ride there. Stan was more than happy to agree to the driving conditions. He was glad that it would just be the four of them hanging in the car now, it was probably going to be loud with Kyle and Cartman arguing, but that was something Stan didn't mind much.
Stan invited Kyle over to his house so all he would need to do is pick up Cartman and Kenny at their house. They were playing videos games and checking the time to make sure that they weren't late. It was about 7 o clock when they stopped playing. They needed to get ready for the bowling alley.
"Stan, you got everything?"
"Um let me think. I got the keys" Stan checked his pockets. "Also the wallet" Stan checked his other pocket. "Fresh clothes" as he sniffs his jacket. Stan thinks again to make sure that he wasn't missing anything. "I think that's it Kyle"
"Alright man, making sure"
"Ok, let's get going then Kyle"
"Got it"
The two of them left the house, locking the doors, and entering the car.
"Stan" Kyle called when Stan was about to enter his seat.
"Yeah?"
"You mind if I drive?"
Stan looked at his friend with a scared face. "Y-you're kidding me right?"
"No man, I'm serious"
"Dude, do you remember the last time I let you drove my car?"
"Come on man, that was a long time ago, even Kenny forgave me"
"Sorry Kyle, but I am not going to let you ran over Kenny tonight!"
Kyle was annoyed that he couldn't drive. "Damn it Stan, that was one time man."
"Yeah, but that one time my parents flipped out on me after seeing the blood, it took a lot of convincing for them to let me drive the car again"
"Just sit in the front seat" Stan wanted this conversation to end, no way in hell was he going to let Kyle drive again.
"Fine" Kyle was looking all pouty now.
Stan and Kyle got inside the car, Stan started it up and was now driving to pick up Cartman and Kenny.
Wendy was over at Bebe's getting ready for the bowling alley. Bebe was applying some make up while Wendy was looking at herself in the mirror. While applying the make up, Bebe noticed that and was quite curious.
"Wendy what are you doing?"
Wendy turned around to her friend. "I'm checking myself in the mirror"
"Well other than the obvious part, I mean why?"
"To make sure that I don't like crap" Wendy was starting to wonder why Bebe was asking her this.
"That doesn't seem like you Wendy"
"Huh?" Wendy was now confused.
"This might sound a little mean, but you never check yourself at the mirror to see if you look good or not"
"Wow Bebe, thanks..." Wendy was kind of annoyed to hear that.
"Sorry Wendy, but you know what I mean. How come you care about how you look now?"
"Hmm" Wendy was thinking to herself. Bebe was completely right, and she, herself didn't even know why. "I actually don't know Bebe"
Once Bebe finished with her make up, she walked up to Wendy and kept walking until there was only a few inches separating them. Bebe was looking at Wendy like she was inspecting her. Wendy was wondering what the hell was happening. Bebe was starting to lean forward to Wendy while inspecting her, and Wendy was leaning backwards. Wendy was starting to feel scare now.
"Are you trying to impress Cartman?" she said slyly
Wendy's face was completely red now like a cherry. "No, no, NO! W-what would make you say that?" She looked turned away from Bebe, Wendy was feeling embarrassed now.
"I mean you two have been spending a lot of time together"
"That doesn't mean I like him like that. Also this is Cartman we're talking about here"
"I don't know Wendy, it seems like you do, from the look on your face" Bebe was giggling a bit
"Oh shut up Bebe!" She was hoping to advert from this conversation.
Bebe was still laughing a bit. "Ok, ok Wendy"
"Thank you!" she was glad that the conversation was done.
The red tone finally dissipated from her face. Wendy was still embarrassed from the conversation they just had. She was thinking about it now, no way could she like Cartman like that. She kept thinking to herself that 'This was Cartman' and that would never happen, but every time she would think about that another part in her mind would say otherwise, that she liked...
"No!" She said in her mind as she shook her head.
Wendy was afraid that Bebe was going to question why she did that, but Bebe wasn't in her room, she was wondering where she went.
"Wendy you ready?" It was Bebe alright and it sounded like it was coming from the hall.
"Oh, um yeah"
"Well let's go then, we still got to pick up Rebecca"
"Ok, I'm coming" Wendy grabbed her things and followed Bebe to her car. Bebe and Wendy got into the car.
"Wendy, how far is Rebecca's place?"
Wendy was trying to recall from what Kyle said. "Hmm, I believe it's about 10 minutes from your house"
"Not too bad then" Bebe was starting up the car now. She checked everything to make sure that there were set, everything seemed to be ok, she backed from her drive way and was driving to Rebecca's place now.
While the two were driving to Rebecca's house, they were talking about what they did for the week. Bebe was talking about how she and Kenny spent the week together. Wendy on the other hand was just talking about what she was working on at school. It wasn't the most fun thing to talk about school work, but it was the only thing that she did for the week. Her and Stan didn't really spend any time together which Wendy wasn't too happy about. It was about ten minutes when they arrived at Rebecca's place. Bebe was about to honk her horn until Wendy told her that it was night, and people were probably busy or sleeping in this neighbourhood. Wendy got up from the car and walked over to Rebecca's door. She rang the door bell. A few seconds later she heard thumps that sounded like she was coming from the stairs. A few moments later, after dealing with the locks, the door was open.
"Hi Rebecca" Wendy being friendly.
"H-hi"
"Are you ready to go?"
"Y-yes"
Rebecca followed Wendy into Bebe's car. Rebecca was sitting in the back seat.
"So Rebecca, how are you feeling?" Bebe started with some small talk
"Good I-I believe"
"Cool"
The drive was a rather quiet moment, the two girls were trying to bond with Rebecca, but trying to talk about something that the girls could relate to Rebecca was not easy.
"Rebecca, have you ever bowled before?" Wendy was actually curious about that.
"N-no, but I'm hoping Kyle c-could teach me"
"I'm sure he will" Bebe assured her. "I mean with an ass like that, I'm sure he's got to be good" Bebe laughed a bit.
"Bebe, what the hell does Kyle having a good ass have to do with bowling?"
"I don't know, it just does!"
Wendy sighed in disbelief. Rebecca was unsure of what was happening here.
"Rebecca"
"Y-yes Bebe?"
"You agree right, Kyle's got a nice ass"
Rebecca was confused on how to respond to that. "I-I don't know, he has a buttocks like everyone else"
"No Rebecca, I mean does it look good?"
"U-um, maybe?" Wendy turn around to look at Rebecca. It looked like she was understanding what Bebe was talking about. Wendy had to change the subject quickly because this was getting uncomfortable for Wendy, and from the looks of it, Rebecca seemed shy about this topic.
"Anyways... Rebecca how are you and Kyle doing?"
"We're doing fine" to Wendy and Bebe's astonishment, Rebecca sounded joyful, and not in her usually tone.
"M-me and Kyle spent the day talking about how beautiful the flowers were in the b-backyards, we l-later were talking about how the flowers pollinate and how i-it helps the other insects.
"Aww, that's so adorable, I didn't know Kyle was the romantic type" Bebe was feeling like a school child when she heard that.
"I-I guess so" Rebecca was smiling a bit.
"Rebecca, I'm so jealous of you right now!" Wendy admitted
"J-jealous why? Aren't you w-with Stan?"
"I am Rebecca, but he's doesn't spend as much time with me as Kyle does with you, and from what I'm learning about you and Kyle's relation, it sounds like every girls dream"
"O-oh, I see" Rebecca felt happy that their relationship was doing really well.
The drive was quiet after that, but it didn't last for long, they soon arrived at the bowling alley. They checked outside to see if the boys were here, they weren't, but Stan's car was here so they were probably inside. They walked inside to see the four boys waiting.
"Hey guys" Wendy calling out the boy's group.
The group turned to see that Wendy, Bebe and Rebecca were finally here.
"God damn! What took you girls so damn long, were you giving blow jobs or something?" Cartman was pissed off as usual.
Wendy didn't want to argue against Cartman at the entrance of the bowling alley, so she glared at him.
"Blow job? W-why would be be blowing leaves off, i-it's the winter" Everyone there was completely silent, even Cartman. The group wanted to laugh to her ignorance to the term "blow job" but they didn't want to give Rebecca the impression that they were mean.
"Ne-never mind" Cartman was sadden by the fact that the joke was ruined.
"Anyway guys, let's get to the counter and pay for our lanes, I'd rather not be staying around here all night watching other people bowl"
"Ha, good point Stan" Kenny patted his buddy's shoulder.
The entire group went to the counter, they paid for two lanes, each lane allowing four players. It was going to end up to be odd, but the group didn't really care. They went to the shoe counter and traded in their shoes for bowling shoes. Once they got the shoes all set, they went to their lanes. They chose the one closest to the the wall so their group wouldn't be bothering anyone, plus the counter that was selling the food was also behind them, so it made quick access for the group, well technically for Cartman to go and buy it.
"So Stan, who's going to what lane?" Kenny said while lying down on three seats.
"Hmm, Me, Kyle, Wendy, and Rebecca on the first lane. You, Bebe, and Cartman are on the other lane, everyone cool?"
"Sounds cool"
"Yeah"
"Alright then, let's get started"
"While you fags start up, I'll be going to buy some food" Cartman pointed to the counter.
"Damn it Cartman! We haven't even started the game yet and your already buying food" Stan wasn't pleased with Cartman.
Cartman didn't say anything, instead, while walking to the counter, he lifted his arm and waved his middle finger to Stan. The entire group started to chuckle, it just made Stan more mad.
"Ugh! Whatever, let's get the bowling balls"
Stan and Kyle got a blue and green bowling ball, Wendy took out a purple one, Bebe went to get a red one, and Kenny got a yellow one. Rebecca was just standing there, she had no idea what to get since this was her first time. Kyle saw that Rebecca was stuck and he came to help her out.
"Kyle, w-which one do I pick?"
"The one that seems the lightest to you, so you got to test out each one of them"
"O-oh" She went through the racks of balls to find the right one. After a few minutes she finally found one.
"This one" Rebecca was holding it with two hands.
"Ok, let's take it back" Kyle took Rebecca's ball from her hands and laid it on the machine.
Once everyone got there ball, they started the game. Stan went first. His first shot was a gutter, though his second one he got eight pins down.
"Not bad Stan" He looked over to see that Kyle was complimenting him.
"Thanks"
"Though it's going to take a lot more to beat me Stan"
"Alright Kyle, let's see what you got then" Stan was leaning back on his chair, feeling confident.
Kyle took his bowling ball, he took a few deep breathes before launching the ball. The ball rolled dead on the middle and landed a strike for Kyle.
"I believe that's what they call a strike" Kyle wore a smirk on his face, which was rather weird since it's usually Cartman who does it.
"That was lucky Kyle"
"Lucky my ass"
"Anyway Kyle, it looks like it's Rebecca's turn"
"Oh yeah, Rebecca it's your turn"
"O-ok" Rebecca got up from her seat and went up. She grabbed her bowling ball, but now she was stuck. She knew the objective of the game was to roll the ball to knock the pins down, but she was trying to figure out how Stan and Kyle did it smoothly. There was three holes in the ball, two top ones and a bottom one, making it look like a triangle. She was unsure of what she was suppose to do with it.
Once again Kyle could tell that Rebecca was confused, so he went up to see what was troubling her.
"Hey Rebecca, what's wrong?"
Rebecca was glad to have Kyle here to help her again.
"O-oh Kyle, I'm trying to figure out h-how this works"
"Don't worry it's easy. You first take your middle and ring finger and insert it on the top, while you put your thumb in the bottom"
Rebecca looked at the ball again after hearing about the new information, although it sounded silly, it appeared to make sense, so she did and it fitted perfectly.
"O-ok my fingers are in place now, what do I-I do now?"
Kyle then took his hands and placed on her hands. "You then take the your left hand and put it on the side of the ball.
Kyle was leaning forward on her shoulder, she was enjoying it a lot, being this close to Kyle, their heads inches from each other. His hands were smooth and warm, and it made her forget the weight of the ball.
Wendy was watching the entire time Kyle was doing this, and she thought this was a beautiful sight, Kyle being so supportive to Rebecca and so close to her, even Bebe caught the sight of this and was adoring what she was seeing.
Kyle and Rebecca moved together like they were one, and they threw the bowling ball with ease together, it didn't get the strike that she wanted, but Rebecca didn't care at this point, just being with Kyle was great enough for her.
"Thanks Kyle" As the two were looking at each other.
"Ah it was no problem Rebecca" The two were smiling at each other.
"Aww!" Bebe and Wendy said. The sight of Kyle and Rebecca being together was just too cute for them not to say something.
"Damn Kyle, you a player!" Kenny yelled, impressed at how his friend was so close to her.
Kyle nervously chuckled, kinda embarrassed to see that the girls and Kenny were watching so carefully. Rebecca on the other hand was blushing, enjoying this moment. The pair soon went back to their seats.
Wendy was up to bowl now. She took her bowling ball, and took a few deep breaths just like Kyle. She threw it and got a strike.
"Yes!" Wendy jumped in excitement.
Wendy went back to sit, proud of her first strike of the night. She was expecting Stan to compliment her, but he didn't. He sat there like nothing happened.
"Nice shot Wendy" Stan said a few moments later, but it didn't sounded like he mean it, rather it sounded like it was on impulse.
Wendy could not believe this. This was supposed to be a triple date plus Cartman and it hasn't turn out like that for her. Kyle and Rebecca were sure having a great time together. Wendy turned around to look at the other lane where Kenny and Bebe was and the two of them were just giggling at each other, sounds like they were mostly talking. Wendy looked at Stan to verify what she was thinking. She did and it was correct, Stan's focus was on Kyle. Wendy couldn't believe it, Stan was ignoring her during the triple date, and it seemed like it was going to happen the entire night.
The group bowled a few more times, Wendy was now winning, she gotten three more strikes, Kyle had two more strikes and a spare. Unfortunately Wendy wasn't very happy with it. Stan would always comment on all of Kyle's shot, while Stan only acknowledge half of her shots. Wendy was in despair that this date has turned horrible for her. Wendy told the group that she didn't want to bowl for a bit she said she wasn't feeling too well and that she might wait a little longer. Kyle told her it was ok, and said she should come back as soon as she can because she was the main competition. Wendy smiled at that, at least Kyle saw and talked to her. She went to a table, and laid her head down on it.
"The fuck's wrong with you?"
Wendy titled her head up to see that it was Cartman. Surprisingly she didn't notice that he was sitting there the entire time with all his food.
"Same fucking deal as always..." The Raven-Haired girl let out a breathe of exasperation
"Obviously" Cartman said as he took a bit of his hamburger.
Wendy titled her head once more to see what Cartman bought. He had four hamburgers, five boxes of fries, an entire pizza, and a large drink. Wendy still couldn't believe she didn't see any of this when she went to lay her head down, quite a miracle really.
"Fuck Cartman! How the hell you eat so much and yet still in shape?"
"Easy!"
"How?" Wendy wanted to know his secret.
"You gotta be as AWESOME as me!"
"Yeah..." She highly doubted that was the reason, but decided to let Cartman think that.
Wendy was feeling a bit hungry now, she hadn't eaten since lunch. She went to take a slice of pizza, but Cartman slapped her hands.
"Ow Cartman! What the hell was that for?"
"Who the hell said you can have one?"
"Well then can I please have one?"
"Fuck no"
"Damn it Cartman, why not, you got all this food for fuck's sake!"
"I thought Hippies didn't eat meat" Cartman said with a smirk.
Wendy couldn't believe that he actually was using that excuse. Well, actually there was a lot of things she couldn't believe of Cartman, but somehow this was the worst. It must have been the hunger talk.
"Cartman, are you fucking serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking now Hippie?"
Wendy look closely at Cartman's face, he appeared to be serious on this one. "Cartman, I am seriously NOT in the mood for this"
Cartman didn't even need to try to sense that Wendy was telling the truth, but he wanted to annoy her even more. "I don't know, you don't sound convincing" He said in a childish manner.
"CARTMAN!" It was so loud that Cartman almost jumped out of his seat. Scared for a bit, he took a few seconds before responding.
"Jesus Christ! Fine... you can have a piece"
"Thank you!" Wendy said so innocently, like nothing happened. She was finally happy to have a piece of pizza.
The two of them ate in silence. After Wendy finished eating her slice of pizza, she went to grab another one. She was worried that Cartman was going to go insane if she took another piece, but he did not, good thing for her because she was going to be eating for a while. As much as Wendy enjoyed the peace, something about eating quietly didn't feel quite right too her now, especially when she was eating with Cartman.
"Cartman"
"What?" Cartman said before taking a sip of his drink.
"I want to ask you a question"
"It better not including fucking whales because if it does I swear..."
"No, no, Cartman, no whales" Wendy was waving her hands now, trying to calm down Cartman. She was worried that he would go into a tantrum.
"Good, then I guess I can answer your question then Ho"
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
Cartman was about to take a bite into another burger until he heard that question. He stopped for a second and looked at her like he was trying to understand what she was talking about.
"Why?" Cartman raised a good point, it seemed so random for Wendy to ask him such a question.
Wendy, herself wasn't too sure why that pop into her mind, instead of anything else. "I don't know, I'm just curious, all your closest friends have one, I thought since they all have a girlfriend, that you might want to have a girlfriend too"
"I don't really give a shit whatever Ho's they're dating"
"Hey!" This time Wendy took bigger offence to it now, probably due to the fact that he meant her and Bebe, and a bit of Rebecca.
"My point exactly" He said with a smirk.
Wendy smacked him across the head.
"Fuck, the hell was that for?"
"For being a prick as usually"
"Anyway Cartman..." Wendy said once she sat down again. "is there a girl you're interested in the school?" she found it rather silly to ask him that, she knew he would say no.
"Yeah" Cartman said calmly, like he didn't care. "I ain't gonna tell you anymore info though, don't need you to try to blackmail me, that's my job!"
Wendy laughed a bit from his last comment, though she was surprised that he told her honestly that he was actually interested in someone. "Ok that seems fair enough"
Cartman went back to eating now. It soon went silent again. Although the conversation was rather weird, she was glad she talked about it, and was quite curious to know who Cartman might like. It had to be someone who was as devious and manipulative as Cartman. It had to be someone she didn't know because Wendy wasn't sure of anyone who was like Cartman at all.
Wendy spent the next ten minutes watching everyone else bowl, it looks like they were almost done. Stan, Rebecca, and Kyle were on there ninth round, Kenny and Bebe were at there seventh one. Those two sure have been talking a lot. Wendy felt a bit hungry again, so she decided to go for another pizza. She turned and went to pick a pizza. Sadly for her, there was no pizza left, pretty much all the food was done now. Her jaws dropped down as she saw Cartman finish his last slice.
Cartman looked up to see that Wendy was staring at him. "What do you want Ho?" Confused to why she's starting at him.
"Ne-never mind" Wendy didn't even want to comment on this.
Soon everyone was done the game. Looks like Kyle was the won who won in the first lane, then Stan, then Rebecca. Bebe had beaten Kenny on the other lane, though the two weren't really trying. The group returned the bowling shoes and got their regular shoes back and they all went outside.
"Well that was a nice time, what about you Rebecca, how you liked it?"
"I-it was fun Kyle"
"Yeah Kyle, it was pretty fun, thanks for telling us"
"Ah, it was no problem Kenny"
The boys then went to Stan's car, while the girls went to Bebe's car. They soon drove and were now heading back to their homes. Although the date went really bad for Wendy, the night was salvaged quite a bit thanks to Cartman. Wendy smiled after thinking about that on the way home.
Well... I wonder who is the girl that Cartman likes XD
A decent way to wrap up a bowling night, lots of food and a bit of talking between our favourite Hippie and asshole.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and thanks again for reading
