A/N: So so so so sorry for the gap before this update! I had my last exams to get over and done with and now they are FINALLY done! As promised this is the final chapter of my story that I am SO glad you have all kept up with and enjoyed, all your reviews have meant so much!

By the time Monday morning arrived Kyle had already received a phone-call from the school and more specifically the "Take this wish" programme.

For Stan, Cartman and Kenny the morning started in routine as they all stood at the bus stop together. They were in silence as Stan didn't want to talk to anyone but Kyle, Kenny was still waiting for his opportunity to have his wish and Cartman had nothing to say to them. During the silent wait Stan subtly turned his head to Cartman in a final attempt to see any last signs of remorse or guilt from him but he remained blank like he knew what Stan was trying to get from him and so purposely remained that way.

As Stan turned back he heard a tapping sound that was following a figure who took one small and slow step at a time. On turning to face the direction of the sound Stan immediately recognised the square hat on the figure and his eyes lit up as he smiled broadly.

"Kyle!" He cheered and ran forwards to Kyle to walk the rest of the way beside him as he hobbled on his crutches.

Cartman's eyes shot open with alarm and he turned with a beaming smile and look of utter relief before realising what he was doing and shot it down to a frown.

Kenny also turned and faced them with a smile of surprise.

"Kahl? What the f*ck are you doing here?" Cartman questioned intently.

"The nurses said I could come into school this morning." Kyle smiled at Stan and directed his answer more at Kenny who didn't know this. "Just thought I'd come and see you." He said now looking directly into Cartman's stare.

There was a silence again between all four of them and Cartman's heart pounded faster against his chest in fear at the look in Kyle's eyes that seemed to scream 'I know'. It lasted a few moments longer until the low-pitched groaning of the school bus from the distance grew louder as it drew nearer.

Kenny looked sharply at it with an almost insane grin and then to the road in front of him, he had been waiting for this opportunity and he knew it was worth it for that one wish he could get. He dived forward just as the bus approached creating a splattered mess at its wheels.

"Oh my God!" Stan cried and ran forwards to kneel down beside Kenny. "They killed Kenny!"

"You bastards!" Kyle called from where he stood, waving an arm at the bus still hooked to his crutches.

Cartman ignored Kenny and Stan's desperate attempts to free him from underneath and faced Kyle.

"So…" He coughed awkwardly." "S'up Jew?" He asked nervously.

"What's up?" Kyle repeated and turned slowly towards him. "What's up? That's all you have to say to me fatass? The last words you said to me practically threw me off a roof!" Kyle bellowed in fury.

Cartman's panic stricken face suddenly lit up as if someone had flicked a switch at the back of his head, he smiled broadly and his eyes opened wide with delight. He began to chuckle with his lips tightly shut as if trying to keep it in but then started to laugh hysterically when he couldn't hold in his relief any longer.

"Yes! If that is all you think I've said then yes it is!" He cheered hysterically and started to dance to himself.

This drew Stan's attention back to them and he watched them with a confused and slightly angered expression as if frustrated by their unexpected reactions to each other. He stood up and walked over to Kyle, leaving Kenny tangled under the bus, and they both stood watching Cartman dance and cheer what seemed to be random victorious lines.

"Dude? You're not going to kick his ass?" Stan questioned shocked.

"No." Kyle started and continued to watch Cartman dance.

Since both he and Stan thought of nothing but Kyle finally kicking Cartman's ass something had happened, Cartman has apologised; something that both he and Stan knew was impossible until the night Kyle was visited in his hospital bed. 'There must've been a reason for what he did' were his first thoughts when Cartman left, 'what does he gain from this?' and it took him a while to hesitantly trust a feeling he had retained and hidden from first meeting Cartman; that they secretly had a flicker of something resembling friendship.

And yet to Kyle there didn't seem an obvious purpose in admitting this to Cartman for the same reason that Cartman never admitted anything to him for so long; because they both knew and had both always known. It was locked in their shared seemingly insignificant memories.

"Look where that got me last time." He said and then smiled subtly so Stan couldn't see. "Besides it's too easy to scream from a rooftop that I hate him, and let's face it…that's what he wants."

Stan scrunched his face up because he didn't want to agree but did and then changed the subject so they didn't have to watch Cartman's dance anymore.

"So did the 'Take this Wish' programme give you anything?"

"Oh yeah; I said I wanted the whole programme to stop, for the good of the school." Kyle smiled turning back to his friend who smiled back.

"Good! Best wish of the lot…kind of sucks for Kenny though, huh?" Stan said and they both turned to the bus again to hear a long moan of pain.

A/N: I really hope that hasn't disappointed anyone! But please leave me your last comments about the ending or the story as a whole so I can decide what people want to see for my next one :D
