"I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday.
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday.
'Cause you're evil, and you lie.
And if you should die, I may feel slightly sad.
But I won't cry.
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way
I say no, I'm gonna kill my dog
May the lines sag, the lines sag heavy and deep tonight."

It's April 9th 1992. It's a cloudy day, people say though it'll be bright and sunny. Just a quick snow storm then early sun will come. The house is quite, those awake preparing for things like work, and to leave for school. "You kids ready?" Rogers voice echos throughout the house as the pair of kids comes down nodding as the trio leaves. Roger drops off Rosemary first, he watches off with a smile as she leaves out. Saying a quick I love you and have a good day. As she walks off, he watches for a few moments before she meets up with Liane's son, Scott. The two meet at a midway point before walking off into the school. He smiles softly before taking off. It wasn't normal the kids were dropped of at school. They were supposed to most of the time, due to Roger's work schedule. But Betsey's problems would stop that from happening, so the kids would walk to school half the time. Yet today's Clyde's big day. It's his happy birthday, double digits.

As he drives down the street he slowly stops at Clyde's school. "I love you Clyde, have a happy birthday! I'll try coming by to wish you a happy birthday. I'll be home by 12, don't worry big guy." Roger says with a smile as his son chuckled and nodded. He waved him off, and slowly walked towards the school. He saw Clyde meet up with the normal group he was with. Tweek, Craig, Jimmy, and.. Token. He smiled softly at the group before driving off. His mind calm yet deep down. Below somewhere his mind was set off. He couldn't explain why but that sense of doom was there. Yet he couldn't miss work, he had bills to pay and money to make. And he wasn't some hustler who could make 200$ in an afternoon.

For once in South Park, well at least at the school. Nothing too crazy happened. No Cartman starting a riot, no Butters going missing, and in general it was peaceful. Of course people could tell that Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan were planning something. Yet it seemed to be in the early stages so most could rest easy. It was the last few minutes of the day though, nothing much was happening, just one of Mr.Garisons odd rants on Barbara Streisand.

"Okay children no homework this week, since all you little freaks have been bugging me about it." Mr. Garrison said before sitting down with a sigh as the bell rang.

Just like that the school was filled with life as kids ran out of the rooms and into the halls. So Clyde had come up with an idea for his birthday tomorrow. Simply just to give Token his notebook and tell him he likes him. Simple as that! An easy plan and if it failed it was fine, at least he thought it was. As he made his way outside he sat out on the sidewalk waiting. That's when the loud yelp of Tweek caught his attention and he looked back with a grin.

"Tomorrow right?! Ack!" Tweek asked while Craig and Jimmy showed up while he was asking. "Yep! Tomorrow." Clyde said with a smile standing up. "Good, this party better not be lame." Craig said scratching his face lightly. "It won't be don't worry, it's my birthday after all." Clyde said with a wider grin. "D-d-don't be too c-confident." Jimmy said while Clyde shook his head. "So you're w-walking with us today? Or no? Ngh." Tweek asked looking around while Clyde shook his head. "Nah, my mom's picking me up so I'll wait here with Token!" Clyde said excitedly while Tweek smiled softly before nodding.
"You wanna stay at my house for the night, Tweek?" Craig asked looking at Tweek. "Sorry, I think I have work to do!" Tweek said loudly shaking his head, while Craig nodded with a sigh. "Bummer, well cya Clyde, tell Token we said that if you want." Craig said and like that the three began to walk off. Clyde waited a couple moments before he saw Token walk out waving off Nichole. He chuckled softly to himself as he waved him over, to which Token ran over.
