Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know,
Higher now than ever before,
I know we can make it if we take it slow,
Let's take it easy,
Easy now, watch it go.

"I hate my brother with every bone in my body."

"Great start..." Craig huffed.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for these two! Especially because I have Tweek as a brother-in-law." Tricia said, waving at the blond.

"Go to hell." Her brother groaned.

"Shut up, this is my moment. Okay, but jokes aside now, it's an honor for me to be here today. For me, and for Craig, because I'm amazing, but I know how nervous my brother was to have me speaking at his wedding, so I tried to make it as painful as possible."

"I hate you. I hate you so much." The redhead put her hand over Craig's mouth, to shut him up.

"I don't know what Tweek saw in him, but I'm glad he saw something! Because Tweek is the best person I've ever met in my life. My girlfriend too, but she already knows that. I mean, growing up, me and Craig were very different. I guess the only thing that we have in common, is that we're both gay. Sorry, dad." She smiled at her dad, who chuckled. "I mean, he was so apathetic, and I was and still am very gorgeous. He played basketball, and I was and still am mom's favorite."

"Shut uuuup!"

"But anyway, I'm gonna be honest with all of you: I couldn't be more proud of my brother." She smiled. "I mean, he is a great boyfriend and... he can be a reasonable brother too, sometimes. I want to tell a story, about the first time I saw Tweek and Craig together, on a date. When I was seven, I was just walking around this very forest, because I like to come here to draw. I started going and going, until I heard 2 familiar voices, and laughs. I looked around and I saw Tweek and Craig sitting on a rock, right where Wendy's table is, right now." The girl pointed to the woman's table. "I saw Craig- I think he was building like a tiny house, with sticks and leaves- and Tweek was holding this tiny worm. Dude, they were building a house for a worm!! HOW CUTE IS THAT?! I've never seen my brother so happy, before. Not even when we got our first guinea pig, Stripe. Sure, he was happy, but that happy? No way. I knew, from only that moment, that their relationship would last forever. I don't know, I had a feeling in my gut. And I couldn't be happier to watch my brother marrying such an amazing man."

He smiled at his sister, sincerely wondering if she was being honest. But deep down, he knew that she was.

"And that brings me to the next part of my speech, which is the part where I talk to Tweek specifically." She said, turning to the blond.

"Let's hear it!"

"One: please take good care of my brother. He's a walking disaster, and he's constantly losing stuff. Please, make him stop."

"I am going to kill you."

"Two: I know it's hard when he's in a bad mood but please, be there for him. He needs someone to constantly be annoying on a daily basis. And three: please, PLEASE, teach him how to cook, 'cuz he's a real disaster in the kitchen-"

"CAN YOU NOT?!"

"Well, I won't take much longer, but just to finalize my speech: Tweek, Craig, I'm so happy for the two of you, and I want to thank you for being such great people in mine, and everyone's lives. I love you, guys. To the gays!"

"To the gays!"

Suddenly, she put down the mic, going to hug her brother-in-law, passing right by Craig. The blond chuckled, rubbing circles on the girl's back, as she cried on his shoulder. No matter how much she tried to hide it, she was emotional over all of this. She is genuinely happy for her brother, and everybody knew that.
