Breaking Of The Know-it-all (Creek)

Heaven Is A Place On Earth (1)

In this world, we're just beginnin',
To understand the miracle of livin'.
Baby, I was afraid before,
But I'm not afraid anymore.

September 12th, 4 pm.

"My name is Craig Tucker. Today is my wedding day. My parents said that they would take me and my friends to a very fancy sushi restaurant, for lunch. I was sooooo happy. But then, we lost track of time, and it is now 4 in the afternoon. Then, my stupid sister reminded everyone that she doesn't like sushi, and said we should go to a more modest place today. She promised it wouldn't ruin my day at all, but we ended up coming to McDonald's. I begged not to, but instead, my parents said that it would be best, since my dad likes McDonald's a lot, and they think I do too. And so, that is why I am now eating lunch at McDonald's, on my wedding day. If I throw up during the ceremony, let it be known that it is because my stupid sister, remembered on the last minute, that she doesn't like sushi."

Everyone at the table eyed him as he wrote his whole speech down on his phone.

"Oh, don't be so pessimistic, Craig. McDonald's is good!"

"It is good, Clyde. You know what it would also be good? If eyes from random strangers weren't on us constantly, because we are all dressed up, with full makeup on, eating at McDonald's."

Tricia chuckled at her brother's rage.

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!"

"Craig, calm down." Red laughed, "It's fine. The ceremony is in 40 minutes. We still have time."

"That's not what I'm worried about, Strawberry Shortcake! I'm worried because after this, I won't have time to brush my teeth, and Tweek will kiss me, tasting the Big Mac I just ate!"

"Now that you mention it, we should get going. We will take 20 minutes to get there, and we still need to greet some of the guests." Thomas said, everybody nodding in agreement. "Craig, as soon as we get there, you go straight to the backyard and me, your mom, and your friends will meet you there, okay?"

"Ayo, guys! I'm not finished with my food yet!" Clyde screamed back at them, as the group walked out the door. He groaned, taking his food with him.

4:20 pm

As the van arrived at the South Park church, Craig started to feel uneasy. There were a lot more people than he remembered inviting to the ceremony. He doesn't want to even imagine how the party is going to look like. Probably more fun, but-

He yelped when the door swung open, making him almost fall if it wasn't for the seat belt. Tricia stood before him and bowed lightly.

"M'lady..." She sang, stepping aside.

He was going to flip her off, but decided against it. Today, he was determined not to bring any negative energy along with him. Instead, he laughed it off, stepping out of the van, and bowed back to his sister. Tricia was confused. She didn't expect her brother to actually go along with it, but he did. They shared smiles before she closed the door.

Walking to the backyard as planned, Craig took this opportunity to take a good look at the guests. There were people he doesn't remember ever meeting (whether it's because they're Tweek's family, or because he simply never met them), but his parents guarantee him that some of those people were important during his childhood. Such as uncles or cousins. This was a lot more confusing than he imagined. Laura and Thomas were greeting these people as if they saw them everyday!

If Craig wasn't nervous before, he definitely was now.

He walked faster, waving at the guests every now and then. He could hear things such as "He's so grown up!", and "Look at him, all dressed up!". But he also heard stuff like "So that's Craig, huh?", and "Tweek has good taste!"
