I'll see you.
Kenny turns his phone off with a small smile curled on his lips. He really should check his phone more. He takes his parka off and throws it on the floor before heading to the living room. He promised he would watch a movie with Karen before going to bed. He sits down on the couch, he swore he heard it rip. He didn't really care, though. Five minutes later, Karen sits down next to him, a bowl of popcorn was now placed in-between them. "So, what are we watching again?" he asked, his eyebrow raised. "Edward scissorhands, I've been wanting to watch it for awhile and I finally caved and rented it." she smiles and puts the movie on, shoving popcorn in her mouth while doing so. They sit there in mostly silence- Kenny makes a witty comment once or twice and earns a snicker from his sister. He also laughed at her for crying, even though its completely justified. Once they finish the movie, they share their thoughts about it. Kenny rates it a ten out of ten, he would see it again. He gives his sister a hug goodnight ten minutes later, grabbing a juice box before laying down. He checks his phone and sees a message from that group chat Kyle was talking about. He finally decides to check it. His heart sinks as he reads the name "Butters." He and Butters were once inseparable. They were high school sweethearts. That until Butters and his family were moving away, and even though Butters was eighteen at the time, his dad still forced him to move away with him. Kenny kept daily contact, texting him hello everyday for a few months. Butters was enthusiastic for those months- but his happiness faded, and so did his reply's. Kenny still didn't stop texting him for two years, but then realized it was no use.It's been four years since Butters moved away, Kenny and him were both twenty-two now. Kenny was twenty and a half when he stopped texting Butters. Butters was almost nineteen when he stopped texting Kenny. Kenny always remembered Butters birthday, it being on the date of the terrorist attack. He remembered the one day where it was just them celebrating. They were at Starks Pond, ice skating. That was one of Kennys favorite days.Everyone tells Kenny to get over Butters, but he doesn't know if he could if he tried.After a bunch of thinking, Kenny eventually fell asleep, dreamless.
Kenny wakes up at twelve o'clock due to the vibrations of his phone, he needed to mute that damn group. He rubs his eyes and stretches his legs, a satisfying pop came from his knee. He stands up and trots to his closet, sliding the rusted door open. He grabbed a random band-tee Stan had lended him awhile ago and a pair of ripped up jeans he's had since high school. He didn't really care about his apearence. He throws the clothes on and walks to the bathroom, splashing water on his face and brushing his hair out. It was getting really long. "Hey, Kare!" he yells out, "Yeah?" she yells back. "I need help with my hair!" and with that Karen is in the bathroom in the matter of seconds. She grabs a pony tail holder. "Bun or just up?" she asks with a smile. "Whatever's best for a reunion party." he answers.She ends up just putting it in a pony-tail, and Kenny makes a sexy pose in the mirror after seeing himself. Karen laughs. "Don't get too wasted, Ken." Kenny puts his hands up defensively. "Who says I was drinking?"He checks the time and its almost four, "Shit, Kare, gotta go." He throws on his shoes and runs out the door, walking up to Cartmans house since he was only a five minute walk away. After he gets there, he hesitantly knocks on the door and is greeted by a grinning Wendyl. "Hey, Kenny!" He greets. "Heya, Wendyl." Kenny smiles back, "Come in, last time I checked Stan and Kyle were in the basement." Wendyl moves aside and Kenny steps in. Loud music playing from somewhere and led lights around the whole house. And he thought this was gonna be a tame party.Walking to the basement door, he inputs the code ("Fuck you mom,") and hears the familiar voices of his friends. Stan looks up. "Kenny! Dude!" he hugs the other and Kenny hugs back. "Stan! what's up my man!" he pats him on the back a few times before pulling away. "Nothing much." Kenny's eyes dart to Kyle who he pulls into a hug. "Hey, Kenny." Kyle gives a half-assed hug back. He never really liked physical touch.Kenny, Kyle, and Stan hang out down in the cool of the basement for awhile before Stan goes up for a smoke, Kenny follows him up after saying bye to Kyle. But he runs into someone, and that someone was no other that Butters. Kenny's eyes widen, but then his brows furrow. He stares at Butters as he opens his mouth, but pushing past him before he could even say anything. There shoulders bumping. He spots Stan sitting on the step, a cigarette in his hand. He sits next to him. "I just ran into Butters." Kenny sighs, opening his hand and waiting for a cig to be placed in it. "Shit, dude. He say anything?" Stan places the lung-killer in Kennys hand, along with a lighter. Kenny lights his cig and takes a deep inhale, coughing."I ran away before he could." He leans back and looks at the now-setting sun. "I do the same thing with Kyle." Stan says, mimicking Kennys action. "We argue all the time surprisingly. We don't have that strong of a bond anymore. Super best friends my ass." Stan rants on and on, "I have feeling for Kyle, if you couldn't tell. And I'm too scared to tell him." Stan admits. "Oh," Kenny lets out a noise of surprise, "Well I still have feelings for Butters, if you couldn't tell." Kenny laughs. "Oh I could tell alr-"
A white flash and a loud noise.Kenny was unconscious, probably dead. Someone just set off a fucking bomb.And whoever it was wasn't gonna get away with it.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Kenny wakes up in his bed, perusal after he dies. What the fuck had just happened? Who the fuck would set off a bomb in the middle of their reunion party? This shit was messed up. Kenny sighs, checking his phone, a million texts from Kyle. [ brofagski at 6:47 PM ] shit Kenny what the fuck[ brofagski at 6:47 PM ] what the fuck happened[ brofagski at 6:48 PM ] r u okay dude? Stan n some others got rlly hurt.[ brofagski at 6:49 PM ] hello?

Shit, Kenny thinks, he thinks I'm fucking dead right now. He types out a message to Kyle.[ pooron at 11:49 AM ] I'm alive dude, I'm sorry I didn't reply.[ pooron at 11:49 AM ] r u good? ur not hurt right?He stares at the screen, waiting for his message to be read.[ brofagski at 11:52 AM ] holy shit hi dude[ brofagski at 11:52 AM ] nah I'm not hurt, I was in the basement so I was protected.[ brofagski at 11:52 AM ] r u hurt tho??? I was worried sick.[ pooron at 11:53 AM ] I'm fine, dude. whoever fucking set that bomb off is gonna get their ass kicked by me personally.[ pooron at 11:54 AM ] Ill ttyl , gonna go talk to Kare. He places his phone on his nightstand before getting up and going into Karen's room. She had a crayon in her hand and was sketching something out. Probably a design for a dress she could make once she gets into her fancy college Kenny's working his ass off to get money for. "Did you hear about what happened?" he asked the other who nodded in response, "Yeah, I did. We need like a superhero or something in this town." She stated, and that's when Kenny got his best idea ever. He sat on the bed next to her, which creaked in response. "Karen, your a fuckin' genius." Kenny smiled, "What'd I do?" she asked, confused, "I can be a superhero. And kick Mr. Bombs ass." Kenny smiled proudly, Karen's eyes narrowed, "That..." she flipped the page of her sketchbook over, "Is actually a good idea." "Great mind thinks alike," Kenny quotes, "You should make me a superhero costume. I could give you your christmas gift early so you could." Karen raised her brow, "Alright then, show me my gift."Kenny got up and headed back to his room, opening the closet door and grabbing the quite heavy cardboard box, bringing it back over to Karens room. Karen's mouth falls open as she sees the size of the box, "Thats a big gift, Kenny." she frowns. "Just open it, Kare." he smirks. She got off the bed and onto the floor, tearing open the cardboard. Once she looked inside, her eyes widened. "Holy crap- is that a?-" "-Sewing machine? Yeah." She gives Kenny a look full of gratitude, "Thank you, Ken." she stood up and gave him a a hug. "No problem, Karebear." he hugs back. Well, if i give you some of my old clothes, will you make the costume?" Kenny asks and Karen nods in response, still amazed at her brothers thoughtfulness. Kenny leaves to his room again and comes back with purple, black, and green clothing. "Knock yourself out, Kare. Let me know when your finished." She salutes him and begins on sketching a design out. Kenny's lucky to have a crafty sister. He returns to his room once again, this time looking out the window. He opens it and grabs a pack of his cigarettes, taking one out of the box and grabbing a lighter from his window sill. He takes a hit before noticing something written on the walls of the abandoned SodoSopa. "Chaos Rises" it stated, weird. Chaos. Who was that? Is that the guy who dropped the bomb? Kenny's never heard of a Chaos around South Park. He would investigate more about this tomorrow, for now, he was going to bed. He drops his cigarette out the window and laid down onto his bed, covering himself up with his torn blanket. It was better than nothing. He would find out who Chaos was, and would be South Parks protecter.Only if Karen finished his costume soon enough.
