"Dude... when's my gem gonna break through? I've been dating Heidi for 4 months!" Cartman sighed.

The four were sitting at a small table outside the frozen yogurt shop.

"Hmpf. Maybe she isn't your soulmate." Kyle replied casually, not looking up from his book.

Cartman glared at him. "I don't see you with a gem on your finger!"

"I don't need or want love, I'm fine shipping the characters in my book."
Stan and Kenny rolled their eyes at each other.

"How much ya wanna bet the two of them are soulmates?" Kenny joked, nudging Stan.

"I'm not stupid." Stan replied. "I don't make bets I can't win."

"What are you guys talking about? Me and Eric would never get together, much less be soulmates!" Kyle looked up and glared at his friends.

Cartman sat back and thought about it for a second.

Well, if we were soulmates our gems would have appeared by now... right? Well, Kenny had known Craig for years and yet he still became his soulmate.
Would it... really... be that... bad?

Just as Cartman was thinking this, he felt a small pain on his ring finger.

He noticed this and jumped up.

"I gotta go!" He blurted out, then ran into the bathroom.

He stared in shock at the brown gem on his finger.

"Wtf?" He grumbled. "Why would this appear now?"

Maybe some stranger who had just walked in was my soulmate. He thought.

Cartman slowly crawled out of the bathroom and looked around, there didn't seem to be anyone there that wasn't familiar, it was South Park for fucks sake!

His friends were still talking and smiling at each other.

"What the hell just happened?"

Kyle sat in bed that night (12:24) and thought about the incident at the frozen yogurt place.

"Ugh, why am I so mean to him? When all I really want is to be his... friend. Yes, friend. That's all." He mumbled to himself.

Something didn't feel right, he could never feel bad for insulting a fatass like Cartman.

"It is true though, Heidi can't be his soulmate... but I'm not quite sure how this works."

He caught himself feeling differently than he usually would about Cartman, it was more... like suffocating in a hot room.

He couldn't breathe, was sweating, it felt super hot.

"I must be getting si- AHH!" He yelled, Kyle stared down at his ring finger, which now possessed a light brown gem on it.

"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY WOULD MY SOULMATE BE IN MY FUCKING HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT???" Kyle yelled. "THATS IT, IM LOOKING UP HOW THIS SHIT WORKS!"

The next morning Kyle came running up to the bus stop, after only having 2 hours of sleep.

"You guys, you guys, oh my god you guys!" His hair was all messy and he had a bunch of loose papers in his arms.

"Kyle? Are you okay?" Stan asked.
Cartman shoved his hand deeper in his pocket.
