Kim open her eyes slowly. She yawned.
Kim: Already morning? Doesn't she have an alarm?
Now she remebered. It was Saturday.
Kim got dressed and walked downstairs. There was Bonnie's mom, making breakfast.
Kim: Hey... mom.
Mrs. Rockwaller: Hello honey. How are you?
Kim: I'm fine. Umm mom, can I ask you a question?
Mrs. Rockwaller: Of course honey. What is it?
Kim: What happened to dad?
Mrs. Rockwaller suddenly stopped what she was doing.
Mrs. Rockwaller: (nervous) H-honey. D-Didn't we already have a talk about this? I told you. You're dad is gone now. I know it's going to be hard, but we're together in this. I told already, if you wnat more information go read the letter in your desk. The blue one. I told I already told that.
Kim: Oh yeah. I guess I- I forgot.
Kim ran upstairs to Bonnie room. She open the desk and found the blue letter.
And she started reading the letter.

Ron was lying in his bed. He had called Kim two times now and she hadn't called back. Usually, she never got that angry for a kiss. He wondered what was wrong with her. That's when his phone rang.
Ron: Hello?
Tim: Ron, we have to talk to you!
Ron: Jim?
Tim: No it's Tim.
Jim: Jim's me!
Ron: Well you guys sound alike on the phone.
Tim: Ron we always sound alike.
Ron: (chuckles) Oh yeah. Sorry, so what was it?
Jim: Kim isn't herself!
Tim: Someone took oevr her body!
Ron: What? What the heck are you guys talking about?
Jim: You have to believe us.
Ron: You guys are crazy. Look I have to go.
Tim: But!
Ron hanged up. He couldn't believe it, what were those kids talking about? "They must be joking or something."

Kim had finsihed reading the letter.
Kim: Poor Bonnie...
Bonnie's dad had left. For another woman. He left his wife and daughter.
Kim: I guess that's why Bonnie's so mean.
In the letter. Mr. Rockwaller wrote about his job, whole life. He helped people. Like Kim did. He saved the world. Well, maybe not the world, but he saved people. He was a doctor. Not just any doctor, like those doctors who travels around the world.
Kim looked around the room. She was looking for Bonnie's diary. She knew she promised not to look in it. But she knew Bonnie would explain why she was mean in it. That's when she found it.
Kim opened the first page and scanned around. Though this was a big munch into privacy she did it anyway. That's when she found, what she was looking for.
"December 19, 2000.
I can't believe it. Dad's gone. He left with stupid secretary of his. I just can't believe it. Why would he leave me and mom? Wasn't he happy with us? And christmas is coming soon. I bought him the best gift. A golden watch. With two different hours. One here, and one for when he's traveling.
Mom says I'll stay one week here and one week there. I am so not doing that crap. And dad asked for a divorce. A divorce. I just never thought I'd be a divorce-kid. I am crying my eyes out right now. I hate him so much. When I promised I'd call him everyday, well, that was a big lie. I'll never talk to that guy again. He hurt me and mom.
He was so like that Possible girl at school. I always people like her and dad, were the best people on earth. Well after what happened, they're the crappiest people ever.
Bonnie."
Kim: So that's why Bonnie's so mean. She thinks all good people are crap. That's why she hates me. She thinks I'm the same as her dad. Why? I never did anything to her. I do feel bad for her. I mean, losing her dad. That must be so hard.

Ron was waiting at Kim's house. Outside. He was there for 10 minutes already. He still hadn't rang the doorbell. Why? He was scared of what Kim would say after what happened yesterday. He gulped and took a deep breath.
He rang.
Bonnie anwsered.
Ron: Hey. Kim... So how are you? I'm really sorry about what happened? Could we, I mean, could I come in?
Bonnie just stared at him, with the same look she had given him for those years.
Bonnie: (coldly) Okay. Let me put this straight for you. I don't like you. I never did. All that crappy best friend stuff? I had pity on you, okay? So now, it's over. I don't want to do anythign with you. And that relationship? You can forget it. I can have so much better friends than you. Buh-bye now.
And she closed the door.
Ron just stood there. Kim had just ended 12 years of friendship. Like that.
Ron: I guess.. (sniffles) It's really over.
He passed his hand on his eyes. He wasn't going to cry.
That's when he left.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bonnie sat on the couch, unaware that the twins had listened to everything she said.
Jim and Tim wlaked over to her. They wouldn't let their big sister treat Ron like that, after all he was a really great friend to them.
Tim: How could you...
Jim: Treat Ron like that? I mean...
Tim: He's your best friend and...
Jim: Your boyfriend! We thought...
Bonnie: Look worms. I hate him. Can you read my lips. Ha-te Him. Now go away. I'm watching 'Teen Miss'.
Tim: You hate that show too.
Bonnie: Not anymore.
Jim: We know you're not Kim. Who are you?
Bonnie: You freaks are out of your little 10-year-old mind.
Tim: No we're not.
Suddenly something sounded off.
Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
Bonnie: What's that?
Jim & Tim: Your kimmunicator.
Bonnie anwsered it. Who was that dude on screen?
Bonnie: Hey...
Wade: No 'What's the sitch?'
Bonnie: What's the sitch? (laughs)
Wade: Yeah... Well Drakken just stole a giant diamond, he plans to destroy the world with it.
Bonnie: Destroy the world... With a diamond?
Wade: This isn't just any diamond. It's a nuclear bomb too!
Bonnie: Oh...
Wade: I set up your ride already. You calling Ron?
Bonnie: I'm not going with Ron this time. Don't aks why.
Bonnie closed the kimmunicator and left for Drakken's lair.
Jim: She is so...
Tim: Toast.
