"Hahaha! This is it for you, Kim Possible!" Drakken yelled to his arch nemesis.



"I may not be able to clone Shego but she never said anything about making life-like robots!"

"*Pft* Stupid loopholes..." Ron commented.



Shego grunted and smirked, "Um...life-like. Sure...if you call recycling Bebe robots and putting a black wig on them life-like. Ohhhhh yeah, Drakken. Great plan."



"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...! Must you always question my ideas!?"



Kim butted in as she finished the last of the cheaply-made robots, "Only when they lack intelligence."



"Which meeeeannnnnns...yeah," Ron added.



"What a dumby!" Rufus squeeked.



Kim grinned, "Now hand over the emerald and nobody gets hurt!"



"You want it?" Drakken responded. "You'll have to take it! Shego, attack!"



Before Kim could respond, Shego landed a perfect spin kick right into her stomache, which sent her flying.



"That's how you get it done, Drakken. Accept no substitutes," Shego boasted.

"Ahh!" Ron yelled surprised.



Ron tried to run but Kim was going too fast and they collided before any of them knew what hit them. Kim was knocked hard against the wall as Ron flew threw the automatic door in Drakken's lair.



"Ooooooh," cried Kim in pain. "That's gonna leave a bruise tomorrow."

She stood up groggily and called for her best friend.

"Ron!"



Through the long hallway, Ron answered with little energy, "Uhhh...huh? Yeah?"



"Are you..."



Just then, Shego snuck up on Kim and planted another big kick to the face.



"-okay?..."



"Two for two! Score!" She pumped her fists in excitment.

"Tip number one, cheerleader. Don't EVER turn your back in the middle of a battle. Especially when the opponent you're facing is...the almighty Shego."

"A little arrogant today are we? She should be the one giving YOU tips..." muttered Drakken irritably.



"What was that?"





"Nothing, nothing...now finish her!"

*************************************************



"Kiiiiiiim! Am I what? Is everything okay over there?" Ron yelled.



"Ehhh...who am I kiddin? She's Kim Possible. She can do anything. Of course she's okay," he assured himself.



"Mmmm hmmm," Rufus agreed.



"Now let's see what kind of stuff Drakken has laying around here. Hmmmm.........Shego's bedroom? Wow. Very...green. I don't think I wanna go in there. Way too creepy (looks at the neon glowing bed) *shudders*.....Hey, here's the bathroom Rufus. You gotta go?"

Rufus shook his head "no".

"Yeah, I already went, too....hmmmmmmm........."

Ron searched the hall even more.

"For an evil genius he's sure got a lotta junk lying around ...what's this?"



Ron opened a nearby door.



"This must be a clo- woooahoho!" he said with a smirk.



"I guess evil supervillains gotta have their share of entertainment too, huh Rufus?" he said searching through a stack of bikini magazines.



"*squeek* Happy, happy."



"Heh. No need to look through these, though," he said tossing the stack back into the closet. Ron folded his arms boastfully.



"Heh. I'd chose Kim over these women in a beauty contest any day. She's the hot oven that can dish some goooood lovin' baby," he smirked at his perverted comment as he closed the closet door and made his way to another doorway. Just then, he paused and thought for a moment.



"Did I just say that?"



"Mmm hmm," Rufus nodded.



"...Naw! I couldn't have said that about KIM!"

"Mmmm hmmmmmm."

Ron grabbed Rufus by the waist and held him up to his face.



"Rufus, this moment never happened. Do you understand?" he said in a serious but comical way (at least to Rufus).



"Mmm hmm. Sure..." Rufus smirked.





"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron said in defense.



Rufus shrugged and crawled out of Ron's hands.



Ron sighed and made his way to another door. Rufus was making kissing sounds on Ron's shoulder.



"I mean it, Rufus. I do NOT like Kim. Not like that at least. I don't even know why I said that..." Ron responded quickly.



Rufus, trying to communicate with Ron, made a serious of hand signals and squeeks.



"What do mean I always look at her??? I do NOT check out my best friend!"



Rufus nodded as to say, "Uh-huh".



"Nuh-uh."



"(Uh-huh)."



"Nuh-uh."



"(Uh-huh)."



"Nuh-uh."



"(Uh-huh)."



"Nuh-uh."



"(Uh-huh)."



Ron tried to smile but he looked akward, "I was only joking, Rufus. Jeez."



Rufus looked at Ron with a confused look.



"...I'm a bad liar, huh?"



"Yep."

"Oh...um...well then. I was just practicing my pick-up lines that I was going to use on...Bonnie Rockwaller later today. 'Cus yeah...I think she really digs me."

"..."

"Not buying that either?"

"Mmmm mmmm."

"Okay so maybe I think she's pretty but who doesn't? It's not like all the other guys at school just ignore her when she passes by," Ron said in defense.

Rufus shrugged in agreement.

"But still...you're not going to tell anyone about this are you?"

Without using any words, Rufus signalled to Ron that his lips were sealed.

"Good, 'cus it's not like I have a crush on her or anything. She's just..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."



"Um...yeah. Let's go to the next door," Ron finally stated.

He didn't know why he just zoned out thinking about Kim. He thought to himself, 'Do I really like Kim that way? I probably do considering how perfect she is at everything. She's got that charm around guys...it's okay though. All i gotta do is make myself unlike her...well, I still wanna like her but not like that so I gotta do something that will make me like her but NOt like her in the same way so we can just be friends and not boyfriend/girlfriend. She'd probably say no if I asked her out anyway...did I actually understand what I was just thinking? Am I talking to myself?'

While all this was happening inside Ron's head, he didn't notice that Rufus had already gone into another room to explore.

"Rufus! Where are you???"

The room was filled with past inventions and plans that Drakken had already used. There were hardly any lights. The darkness that filled the room made it even harder for Ron to locate Rufus.

"Rufus! Hey! Here buddy! ...Oh there you are! So this is like a reject room, huh?"

"Yep."

"Wow...what's that you're looking at?"

Ron inspected the oddly shaped machine a little closer.

"I remember this thing! This is the thing Drakken used to switch Kim's body with mine! It's still in pretty good shape...ooooh. What's this button do?"

Rufus slapped his forehead. He knew what was coming next...
