"Road trip!" Amped, Kenny kicked the back of the driver's seat in Stan's dad's new used SUV. Even if it was only Denver, it was always nice to get out of town, especially when he was with friends.
Jarred by his friend's enthusiasm - both figuratively and literally - Stan swiveled in his seat and leered around at Kenny, "Dude, this is my dad's car!"
Not seeing how it was his problem, the blonde merely shrugged. Sitting up in the front with his best friend, legs thrown across the dashboard and crossed at the ankle, Kyle also scrutinized their resident troublemaker, glad that they were parked outside Hunter's house, merely awaiting their generous benefactor, since that could have caused a serious accident if they had been out on the road. Reaching over Stan as their modern era Agon wrapped up matters of the home, the red-head honked the horn and shouted out of the open window, "Get the lead out!"
"Ok, I gotta go!" Standing on the porch with Mr. Bloodworth as he gave her an extra twenty for 'emergencies', Hunter was forced into a rib-cracking bear-hug before being allowed to depart. Even with Avery over at Ike's so he wasn't there to rub it in, she had the feeling that the three boys waiting in the car had it covered. "Dad!"
Squinting over at her friends, Mr. Bloodworth was discouraged to see that his daughter was going out of town with three boys, but he had faith that she wouldn't do anything with them that she could end up regretting later, since she never had before. Plus, she was a fighter, so there was little need to worry about them trying to gang up on her. "I know, I know, you need to look good in front of the guys. I just worry about my baby..." His bristly mustache twitched at the very thought of something happening to his children. "I'll miss you Hunny Bunny!"
Trying to slip out of her father's grasp so she could get on the road, the girl nodded over at the convoy. "Daddy, I have to go, or we're going to be late!" A lie, since they would have plenty of time to kill before the game even started. But her father didn't need to know that.
On the verge of managing a clean escape, Hunny's dear old dad pulled her back before she could dart off and planted a rather loud peck - practically loud enough to hear across the yard and in the beastly gas-guzzler - on the side of her head. "I love you."
Pink-cheeked from her father's embarrassing display, Hunter ran off to join her friends the first chance she got, shouting a last farewell over her shoulder. "Bye." Running around the front and sliding into the backseat opposite Kenny, the girl made quite the fuss of wiping off the side of her head. "Drive, now."
Mocking her as Stan obeyed and gradually merged with the traffic, Kyle smirked back in her direction as best he could. "Aww, that's so sweet that daddy cares about his little prince! Didn't you tell him that orgies aren't really our thing?"
Disagreeing, Stan shook his head slightly. "Nah man, he probably just didn't have the time to get it in while his dad tried to slip him the tongue."
"Speak for yourself!" Scoffing indignantly at the same time that Stan chimed in, it was unclear if Kenny was being serious about that claim or not.
"Kenny's a whore, so he doesn't count." Stan was still hurting, but he was at least making an effort to be less of a wet blanket.
Kyle, knowing full well that that careless joke was a true statement, wasn't strictly sure that Hunter knew the truth about her crush yet, but it wasn't like he could just tell her that kind of thing without breaking confidence. Still though, knowing the full situation between them, it felt wrong for him to let her go into things blindly. "Kenny excluded."
Yeah, because that was so comforting to hear. While they really hadn't spoken about anything pertaining to the incident in her bedroom/bathroom or the conversation in the kitchen since the day that it happened, she assumed that they were still a go for his suggestion about what to do after the game. Just in case it did go down, she was sure to do everything in her power to prepare.
Speaking of Kenny and their plans, the blonde shot Hunter a rather mischievous grin. Taking his hand to her bare head, he pretended to buff away the remains of fatherly affection. "You missed a spot."
"Shaddup!" Growling as he messed up her strategically disheveled mop, it was hard to miss the monstrous and contagious grin spreading across her lips as she pretended to throw up her fists for fisticuffs. "Don't make me beat your ass black and blue, blondie."
Play punching each other, Kenny shot back, "Yeah, I'd like to see that."
Distracted by how rambunctious they were getting in the back seat, Stan snapped over his shoulder. "If you two don't calm down, I'm turning this car around!" Man, he had listened to his father one too many times... "Kyle, make sure these two don't cause an accident."
Easier said than done, so instead the brains of the outfit opted for a compromise, "How about we switch seats after you get gas, so we can separate the goddamn Wonder Twins back there."
Sticking her tongue out at the two in front, Hunter acted every inch her age and started to pull faces, each getting wilder and meaner than the last. Joining in, it wasn't long before Kenny and Hunter had elbowed each other; Kenny - pretending as if they were hooks - yanked his lips down with his index fingers and began swinging his arms around, whacking her right in the side of the tit, while Hunter punched in his cheeks, flapping her arms up so fast and with absolutely no spatial regard, she nabbed the boy square in the jaw. Whereas he had no idea that he had got her right in the chest, he did notice that there was something harder than just a shirt on the other boy. Unless he was mistaken, it seemed to be some kind of brace or under-wire...
More than used to taking a hit, she didn't so much as flinch. As for him feeling the preparations she had taken for later, it didn't cross her mind that he would realize she had packed on a rather unnatural shape. "Shit, Kenny, are you alright?!" As she asked that, he popped out something that looked a lot like a tooth.
Seeing that he looked genuinely concerned, Kenny merely shook his head at the blue-tinted raven and held it out so that she could have a closer look. "Fake."
That actually made her glad to know that she didn't knock out yet another person's tooth again. "Some party trick."
Kyle groaned as Kenny popped the fake tooth back in his mouth, less disgusted and more reminded of some scheme Cartman had used to sue a chain of retailers. "Too bad it didn't pay off."
Even she could hear the sarcasm in that one. "What do you mean?"
Figuring that it was better to entertain her with a story than allow her to incite another accident, Kyle told her the story, aided every now and again by the other two. Once he had finished - getting into other tales of Cartman's boundless greed and stupidity along the way - they were just about to pull into a gas station. It was more that they needed something to tide them over for the trip than to actually fill up yet (although Stan did also have to get some gas if they wanted to get back without getting stuck on the highway home).
Pulling up to the pump, Stan got out to fill up, which left the three of them to decide who was going to go get the snacks. Kenny immediately volunteered, but for no other reason than being undecided on what to get, Hunter opted to go with him. As she followed him out of the vehicle, Kyle called out for a quick word.
"Hunter?" He cracked the door open so he could talk to her. Standing there, she looked up at him quizzically. "So, tonight's the big night." Kyle figured that now was as good a time as any, if not the only time. "Are you sure you really want to go through with this?"
With nowhere else to turn but to Kyle, Hunter had entrusted him with her mounting misgivings, and in hindsight, it really hadn't been that helpful. It was probably really unfair to put all this on him and expect him to have all the answers to abate her jitters, but the girl had to do something with all of the anxieties clouding her system. "No, I'm not. Life was so much easier assuming that I didn't stand a chance, because then I didn't have to worry about anything."
She had her secrets and Kenny had his, and once they hooked up, everything would come to light, but before then, he had to worry for them both. "You know you don't have to rush into anything, right? Kenny'll understand." It might not have seemed like it, but he was a pretty good guy when it came to stuff like that. "Don't push yourself."
Letting out a rather hollow laugh at that, Hunter flicked her wrist in a downwards motion. "Say that to what's under all this."
Yeah, the phrase t.m.i. came to mind. "I did not need to know that." Or remember it, or think about it at all.
Cringing visibly at the memory of him walking in on her, she shook her head. "Eww, no. I mean the lingerie. I thought that just the ace was a bitch, but after today, I'm never to complain about it again..."
So many giggles... On a very unrelated note to this story, I just had a Trey and Matt night, where I watched Orgazmo and Team America for the first time ever, and I ended with Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. So much funny! Anywho, in relation to this story, yes, Hunter did fill in Kyle on the details of what had happened between herself and Kenny on the night he went to her house, but not right away. I imagine the reason was part her processing, and half him being too busy to take her call/texts.
I do not own South Park, that's all on Matt and Trey, but I do own Hunter and Avery!
