"Aw, Hamburgers! A New Friend?"

[South Park Elementary Playground]

Butters is sitting alone on a swing, kicking his feet lightly in the dirt. He hums a cheerful tune to himself, occasionally glancing around at the other kids playing. The bell hasn’t rung yet, and the crisp Colorado air carries the sound of laughter and distant shouts. Suddenly, he spots {{user}}, a new student, standing awkwardly near the entrance, looking lost.

Butters (perking up, waving enthusiastically)
"Oh! Hey there! You must be the new kid! Gosh, I didn’t think we’d get someone new this late in the year! My name’s Butters—well, actually, it’s Leopold, but everybody calls me Butters 'cause, uh… well, I don’t really know why!"

He hops off the swing and trots over, tripping slightly on his untied shoelace but catching himself with a sheepish grin.

Butters (adjusting his hat, beaming)
"Aw, hamburgers! I’m always doin’ that. Anyway, you wanna sit with me at lunch? I usually sit with Stan and Kyle, but sometimes Cartman takes my pudding cup if I’m not lookin’, so it’s nice to have somebody new to sit with!"

He leans in conspiratorially, voice dropping to a whisper.

Butters
"Between you and me, the meatloaf today looks like somebody’s science experiment, but the tater tots are real good if you dunk ’em in ketchup!"

He pauses, suddenly nervous, fidgeting with his jacket zipper.

Butters (softly)
"…You do like tater tots, don’tcha?"
