Tweek and Stan went to Cartman's house at this evening, Stan and Craig's gangs were there playing.
Tweek sat on the couch watching the others play truth or dare, the ones not playing were Tolkien, Kyle and Craig.
- The bottle arrived at Clyde and Tweek.
Says Cartman.
- Truth or Dare?
-...Truth.
"What are they going to do?" Tweek thought.
- Hmmm it will be different... is it true that you once tried to kill Tweek before undoing the adoption?
...Oh no...no...
Clyde was nervous and didn't speak, Tweek got off the couch to go into the kitchen.
-That's a lot of PRESSURE! Argh!
Tweek was squeezing his hair.
-No, no, no!
Stan and Kyle got up and went to the kitchen, when they arrived, they noticed the blonde having spasms as he pulled his hair out.
Stan took Tweek's hands out of his hair.
- Calm down Tweek, this won't last long, we're going to change the game soon.
The black haired said trying to calm the other.
- Guys, what happened? Are you all right?
Kyle asked as he fetched a glass.
- We're fine, it's just...
Tweek tried to answer, the brunette looked at him and nodded.
- Once Clyde almost killed Tweek at the request of a woman claiming that Tweek would be taking advantage of him and his father...he was very stressed that day, he almost fulfilled the request.
- I-it's...it's complicated.
The blonde said, sweating his hands and looking down.
The black haired one returned to the room.
-...Yes, it's true...I...
Clyde was answering or trying to answer Cartman's embarrassing question.
- Guys, let's change the game, it was boring.
Stan said.
- Okay, how about astronaut?
Craig said.
- How about heroes?
Butters said.
- No, you are not very creative.
Said Cartman, while the others made up their minds, some of the boys left.
Butters went to the back door, which was also where Tweek was leaning, the Stotch was just watching the other kids choosing what to play...until they all gave up. Buddy Butters looked at Tweek, it was a confused but calm look.
- Tweek, are you okay?
- Hm... y-yes.
- Well, i just want to ask if you want to visit my house tomorrow, I don't have much to talk with these guys tomorrow so it might be nice, and I need help organizing my birthday.
- Oh! Right sir...i mean, Butters, by the way, I can bring coffee, maybe tomorrow I'll open the cafeteria later, but it's Saturday anyway. Do you like the cafeteria candies too? I can take some.
- Yes, i would like.
He cracked a small smile, his gaze still was calm.
- Thank you for participation.
- You're welcome, little brother.
- Huh? Little brother?
- I-I mean, Butters, i'm sorry.
-Little brother... anyway, that's right, i'm going.
He walked to the other side of the room and stopped for a few seconds.
- Bye, Tweek.
- Goodbye.
"It's all about insecurity. Looks like we're never going to solve this."
Tweek thought about his next day at the cafeteria trying to buy more time and money.
While the others talked, Clyde went to the front of the house. The air was mild, despite the temperature being often cold. He sat on the floor.
- How much happened, was it supposed to be like this? My father went out so many times, he went crazy when he found out about our nanny...that woman was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
He was talking to himself.
- Well, now Tweek and i won't be able to have the same contact we had before.
Clyde gets ready to go home, he should arrive and sleep early, after all, tomorrow he would have to help his father at work for a little while.
The other boys also started to leave and go back to their respective homes.
- Bye Timmy!
- Go-goodbye, C-Clyde, tomorrow we'll see the r-rest of the c-account.
- See you tomorrow, Tolkien!
- See you soon, dude.
The two went ahead while Clyde and Craig stayed at the door for a little longer.
- Craig, you help me tomorrow with chemistry activities, i think it's better to leave the calculator with me.
- You lean a lot on this thing, why don't you practice more?
- Why I can't understand calculations from seven onwards very well? I already said!
Craig rolled his eyes. He was silent as the brown haired boy tied his shoelaces.
- I'm sorry for what happened to you and... Tweek.
- What?
- What happened to you, i didn't helped when i could or when you asked me to...
Clyde sighed as he finished tying his shoelaces and stood up.
- Look, I forgive you, life hasn't been easy, I'm glad you got a scholarship to study biology, you can move on with your life, it's an achievement.
There's a silence for a little while.
- Well, i'm really sorry, but it wasn't like I could ditch the extra night classes.
- Yes, i understand...but you didn't have to be so rude to us...I don't know what to do but keep working for something better, so don't worry, you don't have to meddle anymore.
Clyde started to walk.
Craig watched the other floor until he turned onto the street a block away and disappeared from view. The one in the blue hat didn't want to spend any more of his time thinking about what would happen to the city boys during the time he was going to leave the city soon, he wanted to forget everything that happened between his friends for at least a while, but it's too late to make them forget too.
--
Tweek, Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Butters went to a street where they would find a store that had small copper cable, after they would return to their respective homes.
- You really don't have any copper fillet?
- No, this is not a product you would find in a convenience store at this moment, maybe you will find it in a hardware store or supermarket. I'm sorry, but we don't have copper fillets.
Said the store clerk.
The boys left the store, at that point they should have said goodbye to each one to go home but they didn't wanted.
- Man, we really should have looked for this in the daytime.
- The problem is that you are almost always busy now.
Cartman replied.
- That's true, it would still be better to schedule and look for the materials earlier.
Kyle also responds.
- So how about Wednesday? Tweek and i didn't work 6 hours that day.
- That day is a little far off, but it's better than nothing.
Butters looked at an abandoned house, he noticed that it had nearly exposed wiring in it.
- How about asking those who are not using fillets in the wiring of that house?
- Hmmm How so?
Kyle asked.
Cartman, Stan and Tweek looked at the house where Butters pointed.
- That idea wouldn't be good, nobody would want to lend wiring cables to a bunch of kids.
- What if we take it? This one doesn't seem to have na owner.
- Cartman!
Kyle yelled at Cartman.
- WHAT?
- It's just an idea, at least you wouldn't have to spend so much time looking for it.
Stan pondered.
- Of course we wouldn't do that!
Exclaimed Tweek.
The boys watched the wiring with the desire to take even one fillet, even though they knew it would be dangerous. Tweek and Kyle disapproved of this idea and Butters just looked on.
- I will take.
- Stan, no!
Tweek and Kyle said in unison.
- I don't know, but I'm also going to risk it.
Stan, Butters and Cartman walked slowly towards the wiring section. Stan and Cartman were looking at the wiring nervously.
- First you?
Cartman asks looking at the other. Stan closes his eyes for a moment and puts his hand on the wiring, starting to pull, Cartman continues and then Butters.
The wiring tugged at the hidden cables attached to the tenuous security of the cable cover.
- Guys, this looks like it's going to...
More cables and wiring appeared and were about to undo a part of the ceiling and wall of the fragile house.
- It will fall!
The almost unprotected and old cables fell on top of Stan and Butters, Cartman released the wiring and was out in a few seconds.
- There!
- The cables are really rusty.
Stan and Butters got out of the spinning and property.
- There! They were still damp.
- Of course you idiots!
- Gah! What did you do?
- We tried to get the wiring out.
Cartman replied to the anxious blonde.
- That's so you don't make a joke like that anymore, dammit!
- You don't have to talk like we're thieves either!
- What were you thinking? This house has an owner!
- Look, Kyle, we regret it but don't say it so loud at the middle of streets.
- Yeah, it might have been a bad idea, but sometimes we have to be pragmatic. At least we wouldn't have to look for it later, Jew!
- Are you seriously going to answer like that?! Are you so drugged, by any chance?!
And so the quiet, strange street was made noisy by just three people shouting.
"Here I am, Stan still fights with Kyle…argh! My headache is getting worse."
Tweek thought.
- And you're not the best example of help, damn Stan, don't fuck!
- Us? Dude, nobody asked them to cut the wiring and now we have a chance, why don't you help?!
They were almost shouting at those who were sleeping and getting attention from those who were awake. Strangely, a stranger who was walking down the street appeared, not afraid to talk to those who were just witnessing the fight.
- Hello, guys, I'm sorry to interrupt, are you... busy?
- N-no, we were just going home when these three started messing with... other people's plumbing.
Tweek was nervous, but not that impressed, even he was surprised by his own calmness.
- Yeah, but nothing much happened, what did you want to tell us? And who are you?
- Ah, my name is Dave, I'm one of the coordinators of the university that is close to that city, I just came to ask you, did you find a turbine? I know it may sound strange, but these days we had done na experiment with it, but this turbine disappeared. It may seem silly to look for something that didn't work, but we need to catch what we use until we know what to do.
At that moment Stan, Cartman and Kyle's fight was over, they just listened to what the stranger said.
- Uh No, we didn't see anything thrown around town.
Answered Butters.
- Okay, if you see something strange out there, notify the school or the police department here.
- Ri-right.
The man left, the conversation took on a slightly awkward air, but at this point the boys were just trying to forget the embarrassment of minutes before.
- That was weird.
- So it is. It's worse because this Jew was shouting in the middle of the street.
- As if you weren't too. You and crazy Stan and Butters went messing around with each other's wiring.
- Yeah, sorry Kyle.
Stan answers.
- At least the house was already abandoned, tomorrow we'll see it better, I'm going home. Goodbye, you suckers!
Cartman said turning to leave.
- Tomorrow we'll have to apologize to the owner.
Butters spoke with his head down, his tone low and apologetic.
Stan and Tweek got home, it was eleven-twenty at night. After the brunette took a shower and the anxious boy just changed his clothes, both agreed to just eat some fruit, take the medicine and turn off the monitor before going to sleep.
Tomorrow would be a new day, Stan would have to go to work at the market while Tweek would help Butters and then go back to the cafeteria, they would forget about the embarrassment that happened on that street.
Another day is gone.
