Ron and Kim ignored each other for the rest of the day. They didn't speak to each other. They didn't sit near each other. They didn't even look at each other. The entire school seemed to feel the tension, though not quite sure where it was coming from. Classes were quite and orderly, nobody wanted to be the one to set off the time-bomb that was lurking amongst them.

The end of the day finally came and everybody was glad to get out. Everyone had failed to notice the distance between Kim and Ron. Kim immediately stormed home, wanting to put as much distance between her and Ron.

Ron went to his usual sanctuary, Bueno Nacho. It was the one place he felt that he was in complete control, and not someone's lackey. When he arrived he found Chris, who seemed not to notice him, was there sitting at a table in the middle of the room. Ron felt he needed someone to talk to so he orders his food, and sat with Chris.

"Oh! Hey, Ron," Chris said in apparent shock, "Wassup?"

"Kim and I kind of had an argument and we left on pretty bad terms," Ron said with just a small hint of remorse in his voice.

"Argued? About what? I thought you two shared the same thoughts."

"It was about how she gets all the glory while I get all the blame. Normally I just expect that from her and except it, but I just couldn't take it any more."

"You guys didn't have this argument because of what I said, did you?"

"Sort of. I don't want you to feel responsible, though. This was always under the surface and was bound to come out; you just sped up the process."

"Ahh man, I'm really sorry."

"Don't be. Everything you said was true. She does get all the glory and I'm in the background, and I do just as much work, if not more. If something goes wrong, it is my fault, when everything goes smoothly, she acts as if she did it all on her own," Ron said, apparently enjoying the release of all these emotions. "She doesn't even mention me on her website. It's all 'She can do anything' and all sort of info about her. And everybody knows about Wade because he makes the sight and contacts all of her favors. And Rufus is known because he is cute and intelligent."

"Speaking of which; where is the little guy?"

"He is at a research facility. Some scientists wanted to do some blood test and brain scans to see why he is so intelligent. I have a guarantee they won't harm him or dissect him. But let's get back to the issue at hand: the egotistical Kim."

"Ron, we can discuss Kim and insult her all we want, but what will that solve?"

"It'll make me feel better," Ron said sheepishly.

"Why don't you just talk to her? Maybe you guys can work it out."

"What if I don't want to work it out? She said that I was just jealous because I don't have a life with out her."

"Is that true?"

"It shouldn't matter; a friend should not say something like that to another friend. It would be like saying to a person in a wheelchair that they are jealous of you because you have full use of you legs."

"I'm sorry that this has happened Ron. Here," Chris said as he took out some money, "Buy yourself another naco, go home and just relax."

"Thanks Chris," said Ron, hesitantly taking the money, "you're a nice guy."

"No problem, man," He said with half a smile. "I'm happy to help out a friend. Unfortunately, I have to go. Bye." And with that he walked out.

Ron followed Chris' advice and bought another naco. What he didn't know was that Chris had to leave because he knew he needed to speak with Kim. He arrived at Kim's house and her father answered the door.

"Can I help you he?" Mr. Possible said politely.

"I'm looking for Kim," Chris said with a smile on his face, wanting to appear as friendly as possible.

"Are you a boyfriend?" he asked, his voice becoming suspicious and accusing.

"Nope, just a friend that's a boy," he said with a slight chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood. It failed.

"Alright, come in. But don't try anything"

"Of course not. I wouldn't dream of it"

He was let in and Mr. Possible told him how to get to Kim's room. He followed the man's instructions and went upstairs. When he arrived at Kim's door he saw it stood slightly ajar and just pushed it open. Kim, sitting at her desk, trying to do her homework, heard the door open.

"What?" she said with annoyance and turned to face Chris. Her voice and expression turned to anger. "Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"

"Sorry," Chris said in a voice that didn't mean it. "I'm not used to knocking. I walk into any room at my place whenever I feel." And with that he just walked in.

"I wanted to talk about what happened between you and Ron after I left today"

"Come to admire your handiwork?"

"No, trying to undo it."

"This is your all fault, you know? Ron would never have done this if it weren't for you."

"Really? He told me this was all under the surface and that I just sped up the process."

"He said that? That little… He such a little baby."

"He would probably forgive you if you apologies."

"If I apologies? This is his entire fault, and it is his issue. If he wants to stop being friends because he wants more glory, then fine. And just for the record; every time he gets attention, it goes straight to his head. Remind him of that. Now get out of my house!" She said her temper rising.

"I'm gone," and with that he was out of her room and quickly left her house, not wanting to face her wrath.

The next day at school, Ron and Chris bumped into each other.

"Hey man," Chris said with a sympathetic tone in his voice. "How's it goin'?"

"Better than yesterday, thanks," Ron replied, sounding overly chipper. "I'm thinking about talking to Kim."

"I would advise against that. She is really upset with you."

"How do you know?"

"That is why I left yesterday, to speak to her. I wanted to smooth things over. She did not like that. She spoke to me as if I planned all this."

"Yeah, she also has anger issues. Anytime things went my way, she would get all upset."

"Really? She said that any time you got attention, it all went to your head."

"That may be slightly true, but it was only because she would get all the attention and I was stuck in her shadow. So sue me if I feel starved!"

"What could you have done? Start your own crime fighting organization? Though, you two sound more like rivals, than partners, or colleagues, if you prefer."

"Right, there was noth-…create my own crime fighting organization? That is not a bad idea."

"I wasn't serious!"

"Maybe not, but it is a good idea."

"I thought you couldn't fight."

"I can't, but we have vacation next week and I know a place I can learn. I can go there now since I no longer have to answer to her."

"What about a team?"

"First I'm going to learn how to fight, then I'll come up with a team." And with he marched off, deep in thought. Chris Just stood there.

"Geese," he said quietly, "how strong of a friendship could that have been if they break up after a few off-hand comments?"

Authors note: This may not be my best chapter, but that is because I do not have a proof-reader. I would still like one. Next chapter Ron will be going to Yamanuchi. I don't know if I will have a long detailed chapter of his visit of just a paragraph. Give me you opinions in your reviews. If I do write a long chapter, I either need a proof-reader or expect you guys to go easy on me in you reviews for that chapter.
