I tried but I couldn't do it well. Sorry! Also, Burr because Lieutenant Colonel four years before Alexander got married but I'll roll with the musical.

"Alright, alright! That's what I'm talking about!" Nichole yells.

I stand along with her, watching my 'brother' marry the girl I fell hard for. But eh... we can't win, I could guess without this. I didn't win with who I married.

"Now everyone, give it up to the lad of honor, Kyle Broflovski."

I rise my glass.

"A toast to the groom!" I say.

I smile at Stan.

"To the bride!" I say.

This smile comes to Wendy. I don't mean to smile as wide as I do but Nichole notices too, as well as Bebe... did everyone love this girl?

"From your 'brother'," I say.

The repeat my name.

"Whose always by your side," I say.

The single tear I can hide easily.

"To your Union!" I say.

Some say 'to the revolution'. Nothing fits Wendy more.

"And the hope that you provide!" I say.

I sigh.

"May you always," i say.

I keep my eyes on Wendy.

"Be... satisfied!" I say.

The word satisfied brings me back.

"I remember that night I just might remember it for the rest of my life," i say.

I remember that night I just might regret that night for the rest of my days. I remember those soldiers....
Tripping over themselves to win our praise. I remember that dreamlike candlelight! Like a dream that you can't quite place.... but Wendy, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face. I have never been the same! Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame! And when you said,

"Hi."

I forgot my dang name, set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame... this is not a game!

"You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied."

"I'm sure i don't know what you mean you forget yourself."

That was my answer, this woman made my heart light up in what I could call satisfaction.... but I guess that isn't possible... very very possible, I have never been satisfied... and I will never be, I would never break Stan's heart like that. 'Brother' first.

"You're like me. I'm never satisfied"

"Is that right?" I asked.

I thought I could. Goddamnit it started naive, I still stay awake with the feeling inside my heart of this... this thing... I don't understand it, I have never felt like this.... why did this woman make me feel something nobody else ever has?

"I have never been satisfied."

It was flirty, I could tell the moment she said it.

"My name is Kyle Broflovski."

"Wendy Testaburger."

"Where is your family from?" I asked, in interested.

"Unimportant," she simply answered.

Did she think it was a good cover, it was easy to figure everything out.

"There is a million things I haven't done," she said.

She set my heart aflame with every-single-word. I remember my thoughts, word per word.

So so so—
So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light! It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right? The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes. Ev'rything we said in total agreement, it's a dream and it's a bit of a dance. A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance. He's a bit of a flirt, but I'm 'a give it a chance!

I asked about her fam'ly, did you see her answer? Her hands started fidgeting, she looked askance? She's penniless, she's flying by the seat of her pants! Beautiful, wow, does she know it! Bangs, and she can't even grow it! I wanna take her far away from this place.... Then I turn and see my brother's face and he is...

Helpless...

And I know he is helpless.

And I realise three fundamental truths at the very same time!

"Where are you taking me?"

"I'm about to change your life!"

"By all means, lead the way."

Number one, I'm someone unable to work in a world full of the others! My only job is to marry rich! My father has people that can work but since I can't it's my only way to advance! I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York insidious (at least out of the none working ones) and Wendy is penniless. Hah~. Doesn't mean I want her any less! And I'm married but him? I could get rid of him so quickly if it were a chance with Wendy!

"Stanley Marsh! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Marsh?"

"He's my adoptive 'brother'... kinda." I said.

Number two, she's after me because I'm rich, that elevates her status, I'd have to be naive to set that aside! Maybe that is why I introduced her to Stan, now that's her groom! Nice going, Kyle, she was right. You will never be satisfied!"

"Thank you for all your service!"

"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it."

"I'll leave you to it!" I say.

Number three. I know Stan like I know my own mind. You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind! If I tell him I love her he'd be silently resigned.... she'd be mine. He's say

"I'm fine."

He'd be lying.

But when I fantasize at night
It's Wendy's eyes, as I romanticise what might have happened if I hadn't sized her up so quickly... at least my dear Stan is her groom... at least I keep her eyes in my life.

But I know, she will never be satisfied, I will never be satisfied.

My marriage has cheating already, I could do it. But I wouldn't, for my sheer love of Stan.

I come back to reality.

"To the groom! To the bride! From your brother who is always by your side! To your union! And the hope that you provide... may you always be satisfied!" I say.

He'll be happy as his groom... but she'll never be satisfied.

~After the wedding with Nichole.~

I loved her. She loved me. Says that she still loves me, even if she's married....... I just.... I'm so done! Bebe and I love her, she loves many people too.

"I may not live to see our glory!" I sing, utterly drunk.

"I may not live to see our glory!" The others sing.

We're singing because my drunk mind has decided we need to sing off note.

"But I've seen wonders great and small," I sing.

I hold Wendy by the shoulder. She sighs. Not drunk enough I tell ya.

"I've seen wonders great and small," the other two sing.

"'Cause if the tomcat can get married," I sing.

She is a female tomcat as a tomcat is apparently a sexually promiscuous man.... goddamn does she have men and women all around her.

"If Wendy can get married," the other two sing.

"There's hope for our ass after all," i sing, loudly.

"Raise a glass to freedom!" Bebe screeches.

"Hey!" We sing.

"Something you will never see again!" Sally sings, pointing to Wendy.

"No matter what she tells you," Sally sings again.

"Let's have another round tonight!" I sing.

"Raise a class to the four of us," the three of us sing.

"Ho," the two sing.

"To the newly not poor of us," Sally sings.

"Well if it isn't Craig Tucker," Wendy says.

"Ma'am?" Craig asks.

"I didn't think you could make it," Wendy says.

"To be sure," Craig says.

"Tucker!" Sally lets out.

"I came to say congratulations," Craig says.

"Spit a verse, Tucker," Sally says.

"I see the whole gang is here," Craig says.

"You're the worst, Tucker," Bebe says.

"Ignore them. Congrats to you, Lieutenant Colonel," Wendy says.

"I wish I had your command instead of manning Token's journal," Wendy continues.

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"Now be sensible! From what I hear you've made yourself insensible!" Craig says.

"Well, well, I heard You've got a special someone on the side, Tucker," I say.

"Is that right?" Wendy asks.

"Whatcha trynna hide Tucker?" I ask.

"I should go," Craig says.

"No these guys should go!"

"What? No!" I let out.

When we get pushed, we all stay hidden next to the same bush.

"It's alright Tucker, I wish you had brought this girl with you tonight, sir," Wendy says.

"You're very kind but I'm afraid it's unlawful ma'am. You see.... he's married," Craig says.

"Oh," Wendy lets out.

"He's married to a British officer," Craig says.

"Oh shit," Wendy says.

There is a moment of silence.

"I will never understand you! If you love this man go get him. What are you waiting for?" Wendy asks.

"I'll see you on the other side of the war."

Wendy responds the same and we, drunkly, run away.
