The living room was lit only by the faint, flickering glow of the television, casting long shadows as the four boys settled onto the floor for the night. A thick, prickling silence hung in the air, lingering after Cartman's latest dig about Kyle's cooking. Desperate to shift the mood, Kyle called out for his little brother, Ike. The small figure padded into the room, a wicked smile tugging at his lips. Before Kyle could issue a warning, Ike bent toward Stan, Kenny, and Cartman, dropping his voice to a theatrical whisper as he began to recount a certain scandalous Thanksgiving bathroom incident. Kyle's hand shot out, smothering Ike's words just as Stan released a heavy breath of relief. But Cartman's eyes gleamed with malicious delight; he wasn't about to let this gem slip away.
