Imagine Cartters

Warriors

Butters finished eating and got ready for work. He put on his shoes and his turquoise sweater. It wasn't the same one he had as a kid as it was more of a hoodie but he liked the color. He gave Eric one last look and left. His job wasn't much, just a little chef at a plain little restaurant. He was one of the only chefs working there and he liked it that way.

"Hey Butters!" A smiling girl with blonde hair said

"Hi Bebe, Sorry I'm a little late," Butters said shly

"No problem, come on we got to get started."

She led Butters to the kitchen which he was quite familiar with. However Bebe was the new hostess and she always practices working on him. Butters entered the kitchen to find his so called friends there waiting for him. Carlos David was the main chef who instructed the others. Pete Rosen, who was new the chef and he was extremely clumsy. Finally Kyle Broflovski the chef that was on Butters level and his closest friend there. Kyle was also lucky enough to be engaged to the new hostess.

"Hey Butters," Kyle said giving Butters a pat on the back

"Hey Kyle, didn't comb your hair I see," Butters said trying not to laugh at Kyle's jewfro

Kyle frantically tried to fix his hair but was unsuccessful. Butters laughed and handed him a hair net. Kyle nodded in thanks and cramed his head into net. The restaurant opened around 8:30 but it didn't matter. They never got much customers and usually made the food right before anyone ordered it.

Butters liked having a job that was so easy going. It gave him a break from home. He didn't mind Eric but he was always so pissed off for some reason all the time. Either that or mopy. Butters didn't need that shit right now. He was happy working and hanging out with his friends.

Sometimes when Butters was cooking he would start singing quietly to himself. They were always Imagine Dragons songs, of course. He started to hum Warriors without realizing he was singing it.

As a child you would wait
And watch from far away.
But you always knew that you'd be the one that work while they all play

And you, you'd lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change but it was just a dream!

"Butters?" Kyle interrupted his singing with a confused look on his face.

Embarrassed of what he was caught doing, Butters dropped the dish he was cooking into the sink. The guys laughed at him but Kyle helped Butters clean up.

"Not a bad voice though," He chuckled "Haven't heard that song in awhile."

"Yeah, it's pretty old," Butters said looking down

Kyle noticed the sudden sad look on Butters face. He looked at his watch and then patted Butters on the back.

"Come on Dude let's get some lunch," He said

Butters nodded and followed Kyle out into the restaurant area. They took a couple of sandwiches and went to sit with Bebe. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hands sipping every so often. They sat on a table near the window like they always did.

"Jesus Kyle, I know you said this place gets barely any business but damn," Bebe said sighing

"Yeah it sucks," Kyle said taking a bite of his sandwich "I'm not sure how long it will stay open."

"What?!" Butters asked quite alarmed "That can't happen I need this job!"

"Don't worry Butters, I was kidding," Kyle reassured him

"Well it's not funny, remeber I'm feeding two at home," Butters said taking a sip of his coffee

"Oh yeah," Bebe remembered " How is your boyfriend?"

Butters spit out his coffee all over Kyle right as she said those words.

"My... My what!?" He asked in complete shock.

Bebe looked confused and Kyle desperately tried to clean the coffee off him. There was an awkward silence between the three of them for about a minute. Then Bebe decided to clarify.

"I'm sorry Butters, I just thought you and Eric were dating," She looked sorry for what she said

"No its fine Bebe, it's not the first time we were... thought of that way," Butters said trying to make her feel better.

Though it wasn't a lie. A lot of people hard started to think that Eric and him were more than friends. Butters had admitted to being bi but he wasn't in love with Eric no way. Eric was a big pain in the ass, not exactly boyfriend material. The guy wouldn't leave and Butters didn't have the energy to make him go.

After the lunch break, they had a few more hours left of work. Butters didn't want to go home at first so before he did, he went out to get ice cream with Bebe and Kyle. They got carried away and time just slipped by. Butters lost track of time for he noticed it was 10:30 and he was supposed to be home hours ago. He said goodbye to the couple and ran home as fast as he could.

When he got home, Eric was waiting for him looking pissed as usual.

"Where were you?" He demanded

"Hanging out with Kyle and Bebe," Butters said casually

"Why were you gone so late? You were supposed to be home earlier," Eric said in his lecture type way

"I'm sorry Mom! I wasn't home on time!" Butters said getting angry. He hated how Eric acted as if he was a child

"You always hang out with God Damn jew it's annoying," Eric said crossing his arms and looking away

"Don't insult him, he's actually a friend unlike some people," Butters snapped " Why do you care anyways?"

"Cause I was worried..." Eric said very quietly.

Butters didn't hear him but couldn't ask him to repeat since Eric ran away to his room. Butters was so annoyed that he decided to skip his shower and jump into bed fully dressed. He grabbed for his ipod and put the ear buds in. The last thing he heard before he passed out was one of his favorite songs.

Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
