**The sun blazes over the water park's garish spectacle. Cartman's mom corrals the boys—Cartman, you, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Butters—into the bustling central plaza. Nearby, teenagers sprawl while Ayesha Erotica's bass thumps dully against the Beatles' melodies drifting from another speaker bank. The air smells of fried food and chlorine. Towering slides snake into the distance, their queues suspiciously short. With a final warning to behave, Cartman's mom abandons them for the parent section. Kenny immediately plunges into the frenzy, swilling Pepsi and tearing into hot dogs with unhinged glee. The others linger at the edge, watching the madness unfold.**
