Ron's POV


I opened my eyes, and I could already feel the bruise forming where Sheggo had caught me. I looked at KP, and I felt my heart go out to her, she had just been betrayed by someone who had lead her to believe he was perfect. I clenched my teeth in an effort to calm down.

I blinked, clearing the blur out of my eyes. A sign in front of me read. " Every Nite Taco Nite!"

" Is this heaven?" I questioned, not realizing Kim was consious. I looked around, smiling at my surrondings, and then I caught sight of Kim.

" KP!" I yelled, smiling at the fact she wasn't out of it. I had seen the sparks flying as Eric shocked her, and the way she slumped in his arms had scared me too death. " I thought you were down for the count!"

She didn't respond to my statement, but started one of her own. " Why couldn't I see he was a fake?"

I now knew why she looked like she had just dropped the world. She felt tricked, and I couldn't blame her for that, she had been tricked.

I started talking, hoping to at least distract her. " Yeah, you can't get much faker than a syntho-drone."

I stopped, a thought coming to me that had my blood boiling in a way that wasn't just the fact that it was sick and wrong, but a jealously I hoped didn't show through. " Ohh, you kissed a syntho-drone!"

She got defensive, " I never kissed him." I felt myself smile, " But I wanted too."

My smile dissappeared, adn whatever replaced it didn't even come close to the disapointment I was feeling. I knew I was out of her league, but this proved it. I wanted to yell, but I looked at Kim and realized she was more broken than I was right now.

" Okay, too much info." I glanced around. " So, what's the plan?"

" Ron." she said, finally looking up at me. " I- I got nothin'."

She looked down, giving up, and I got mad. I wasn't mad at her, I never could get mad at her, no, I was mad at Drakken and Eric. They had come in, found her weakness, exploited , and left, leaving the strongest person I knew ready to give in. I couldn't let her do that.

" That's my line! And what's worse, that's quitter talk!" I glared, but she wasn't looking at me, she was staring around the room, eyes not really seeing anything.

" Drakken finally won." her words came soft, surprised, and then feirce. " I should have stuck with baby-sitting."

I didn't know how else to get her to listen. " Alright KP, this pity fiesta is over."

I didn't mean to sound harsh, but I continued. " Drakken has not won! He played you! And now, it's payback time." I could only hope payback would be sweet.

I knew I was out of her league, but I had to try. Now seemed to be the best time to do it.

" And, ya know, there are guys out there that are better for you than Eric. " I said, and I had to keep myself from choking. " Guys that are real for one thing. "

" You really think so?" she asked, more hope in her voice than I had heard since I woke up. " Your really think there's a guy out there for me?"

No, not out there. I knew exactly where that guy was, he was staring at her, strapped to a burrito. But, I didn't think she knew that.

" Out there," I looked away, not able to keep looking at her face. " In here."

" Oh, " she said, but she didn't sound surprised. Maybe I had more to hope for than I thought. She looked up through her lashes, green eyes boring into mine. " Really?"

I smiled, " Sure, ya know, guys like," -me. I never got to say that. Rufus decided that then would be a good time to crawl out from my shirt. " Rufus?"

" Rufus?" she questioned, and I wanted to tell her that it had come out wrong, that I had meant me, but I never got a chance to, her mind was already whirring.

She gasped, " Rufus! You can save us!"

He seemed to understand, he jumped down to my ropes, sinking his teeth into the cords, but to no use, he just got stuck. "Uh oh."

She looked down, dissappiotment in her eyes, but then she spotted something on the floor. " My backpack!"

Rufuf jumped, running his way down to her bag. I shouted, " Use the lipstick, Rufus!"

He came back out, lips bright red, and I would have smiled if we hadn't needed it right now.

" The other lipstick." KP said, but he was already back in the bag, reaching for the laser.

He emmerged, powering up the laser, and smiled as he raced up to Kim's ropes. I watched, tranfixed, as he cut the bonds and she fell to the floor, grabbing her bag as she landed. She reached in to the pack, pulling out the toy-like device I had found earlier. She slid it into her hip holster. " Let's go."

I couldn't agree more.
