All right, let's get this next chapter underway! Anyway, enjoy!

Inside a small coffee shop, Monkeyman hummed a little bit as he was sitting at a nearby table, waiting a little nervously and looking up. He took a deep breath and sighed. "Okay... you're on a date with a girl... a girl you haven't seen, yet think is pretty. Don't act too weird, it would be weird to be acting weird. Deep breaths... deep breaths."

It was at this moment Kevin looked out the window of the coffee shop a bit nervously. He tapped his fingers on the table as an early morning band was starting up some music.

"The man that wears the monkey mask, he'll be the best with any task, especially when he spots his fair dame!" Quiet singing was heard nearby. Monkeyman paused as he turned to see the two singers he had seen a couple of days before, the ones that were in Slausen's when the robbery occurred.

"Sure, he's feeling dandy!" One singer smiled.

"And he is quite handy!" Another singer smiled.

"But the man is not quite the same!" The singers sang. "No, in fact... he is in love... and like two doves... those two will go down in fame..."

Monkeyman raised an eyebrow, wondering where those two singers came from before they took their instruments and started to depart as some people started clapping. He wondered if those singers even saw the newspaper... or if the people who were sitting in the bar knew what the audience was talking about. Nervously, he started looking at the menu.

It was then he heard the bell ringing in the door as Monkeyman looked up... and sighed in relief as the girl of his dreams had walked in.

Olga looked around slightly and smiled as she saw Kevin walking in. Olga walked over and sat down next to the shy man. "Sorry I'm late, Kevin. I had to drop off my b- little sister."

"That's all right. I haven't been here for too long." Kevin smiled as Olga giggled.

Olga paused as she looked around. "This is a nice little coffee shop."

"It opened up at least a couple of years ago." Kevin explained. "Sometimes I like to come here, to collect my thoughts."

"Oh." Olga smiled as a waiter came over. "Raspberry ice, and some coffee cake and tea, please."

Kevin smiled. "Coffee for me, black, two sugars, no cream."

The waiter nodded as he walked off. Olga smiled as she said, "You know, this atmosphere here is pretty good and generous."

"It is quite generous, isn't it?" Kevin smiled. "Anyway, Olga, are you excited about the reunion?"

"Oh, most certainly. I mean, it's hard to believe that I'm catching up with a few old friends before the reunion starts." Olga smiled. "I mean, Melissa, Jackie... even you. I know I don't remember much of you during our old times in school, but you really seem like a good gentleman, Kevin."

"Call it a weakness." Kevin smiled as the two started to talk.

"So let me get this straight." Arnold frowned as Helga pointed to the paper. "You think that Mr. Bramble WROTE the article to give Monkeyman a bad name."

"You and I both know it, Arnold. And if I had to guess, it was because you took a picture of Monkeyman and my sister KISSING at that moment." Helga groaned. "Football head, WHY did you even take that picture?"

"I'm sorry, I thought this was a good moment not to catch." Arnold said, worried. "But why would Bramble decide to ruin Monkeyman's life by making him a menace to society. We both know he isn't that."

"We both know it, but not the whole world. And trust me, there are a million people who will believe ANYTHING that is printed on the newspaper." Helga frowned. "Besides, you KNOW that that guy is courting my sister! Bramble probably saw the picture when he handed it in and got angry!"

As Helga took a sip of coffee that Arnold's grandmother had given her, Arnold paused. "Still, that's no reason to defame Monkeyman."

"Look, Arnold, I have my suspicions on that Bramble guy." Helga frowned.

Arnold sighed. "Just why do you suspect Bramble? Look, I don't like that he's trying to court Olga as much as you are, but he's shown himself to be the perfect person."

"That's just it! He's TOO perfect! He's cold, calculating, the whole 'politician' routine... and anything I get on his past, I get the whole 'war veteran' story. I just don't trust the guy." Helga sighed. "I may not have strong feelings towards my sister, but I don't want to see her get hurt by anyone. There WAS a reason I stopped the wedding between her and that Doug LeSham guy in secret."

"You're really hoping for a 'Olga's boyfriend is dating another girl behind her back' scenario, aren't you?" Arnold said... then sighed. "Helga, I don't think it's going to be that easy. For one thing, nobody has heard of Bramble dating someone, they'd probably announce it publicly."

"Yeah, and that's what worries me." Helga frowned.

"Look, let's not think about Bramble anymore. Let's just focus on how we can clear Monkeyman's good name." Arnold said as he started to circle on the paper.

Helga sighed. "Fine, but don't come crying to me when I'm somehow related to a man that I don't trust! And if that happens, God have mercy on me!"

Arnold sighed as he looked at the paper. "All right. Where do we start?"

All the while, Bramble was busy humming to himself as he was at his home, setting up the bar in the room as he smiled. At this moment, he was thinking about how he could get Olga in his clutches.

Bramble smiled as he settled the bottle of champagne aside. He was certainly grateful that he had released the newspaper about Monkeyman... and thanks to that Kevin kid for unknowingly giving him the perfect pictures, he may have just gave him the road to ruin Monkeyman's life, both his superhero life and hopefully his personal life. And best of all, fingers crossed, Olga will probably have conflicting feelings when it comes to whether Monkeyman would be trustworthy or not.

In Bramble's mind, it would be the perfect opportunity to snatch her up and remind her just WHO she's courting with. Who she should be with... who, according to Bramble's magic mirror, should be her destined choice. Smirking, he knew he got her pretty close last time... if it hadn't been in the workplace and with no interruptions, she probably would have accepted what he would have done to her.

But this time, no doubt, there would be no delays. He would get her at the reunion and take her to his home. She'll understand just who she'll belong to...

"Thank you, my magic friend..." Bramble smiled as he examined the mirror. "For showing me a wonderful sight..."

Indeed, the mirror shown itself as inside it, Olga was being licked on the cheek by Bramble himself... and was holding her stomach as the girl was looking down in conflicted worry.

Bramble gave a smirk as he put the mirror aside. "All right... let's get this underway."

With that, Bramble started going upstairs to pick out a nice, clean suit. If he was going to go to the reunion, he may as well look nice for the occasion.
