"(Argh!!)" Ron yelled in frustration. "(I can't take it anymore! Kim doesn't deserve to be hurt like this!)"
It was lunch time in Middleton and Kim still hadn't talked to Ron all day since the morning incident. It was especially disturbing for Ron and Rufus since Kim sat right next to them in every class. She was hunched over her desk in every period so far, not paying any attention to what the teachers were saying. So un-Kimlike…
"(She's not even sitting next to us at lunch!)" Ron pointed in the direction of the table opposite their side of the room. "(I bet she thinks I'm the biggest jerk in the world and she'll never talk to me again.)"
Rufus patted his little pink friend on the head. "Hey, cheer up, Ron. She's mad but she's not going to stop talking to you forever. Just give her some time and she'll get over it."
Apparently, this didn't help Ron's situation because he just kept on moping. "(Yeah but…I'd be mad too if Kim ditched me for my worst enemy.)"
"We didn't DITCH her Ron. Bonnie snuck up behind me and…" Rufus made a gagging sound. "…did that weird…tongue thing."
"(Well let me put it in perspective for you.)" Ron grunted. "(Don't you think I'D be ticked off if I saw Kim kissing…Monkey Fist!?!)"
"Ew! Ron! That's sick! That's wrong! That's…what the…ugh…that's nothing near what happened today."
"(Oh really? Bonnie may not have hairy arms and legs but she's still as unliked by Kim as much as I don't like Monkey Fist.)" Ron sunk his face into his hands and groaned.
"Yeah but Ron…*sigh* If it makes you feel any better, Monique's talking to Kim right now. I'm sure she can help straighten things out."
***********************
"What a jerk!" Monique yelled.
"I know but what can I do? He knows how much I don't like Bonnie, but he still had the nerve to have a relationship with her behind my back. I guess that proves how much he really considers my feelings…how did I ever have a crush on HIM in the first place?" Kim cried out.
Half surprised by this confession, Monique raised an eyebrow but decided not to make a big deal out of it. Teasing Kim wasn't exactly the friendly thing to do in this situation.
"Well…did you try talking to him? Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding," Monique suggested.
Kim sneered back. "Yeah. It was an ACCIDENT that they were making out like caged animals in the hall. Their tongues just happened to land in each other's mouths."
"It sounds to me like Bonnie was the one doing all the kissing," Monique pointed out.
"It sounds like that but…why would Bonnie wanna kiss RON if they weren't already going steady? She's got this thing against guys without Convertibles."
Monique chuckled, "Glad to see that at least you haven't completely lost your sense of humor."
"Things would be a lot more fun if Ron were here…"
Monique looked at her depressed friend. It was a rare sight to see Kim Possible in such a mess.
"*sigh* Kim. If you don't mind me asking, why DO you like Ron anyway? I like him too but…there's a lot of cute guys at this school dying to be your boyfriend. Ron's not exactly the romantic type…and…I dunno, it just seems so easy for you to pick up another guy. Why Ron?"
Kim thought about it for a moment. That was a tough question to answer in words.
"Because," she started, "it just…happened like that. It just happened by fate that I got a crush on the goofiest, spazziest, clumsiest…sweetest, friendliest, funniest, most caring, most loyal boy that I've ever met. Monique…I just…LIKE him. I don't care what other people say about him…or me. They're always trying to set the head cheerleader up with some jock from another school…but I never agree with it because Ron…he just knows how to make you smile…"
Monique looked down at Kim, who had zoned out thinking about Ron.
'Awww…so cute,' she thought.
"Kim…that was beautiful," she put on a sarcastic but well-meaning smile.
Kim finally showed signs of life when she smiled back feebly. "Heh. I guess you know my secret now, huh? 'Kim Possible wants to start a relationship with Ron Stoppable. Not Josh, not Brick, but that dorky guy who follows her around all the time. What's more, she might even be in LOVE with him.'"
"Ooh…the L word…really???"
Kim blushed and nodded. Her heart felt so good whenever she said that.
"Wow. Love's a strong word Kim. How can you be sure you're not rushing into things here?"
"Well…I know it sounds crazy but…I've always loved Ron. Just not always like that…but like a brother, you know?"
"I see," Monique nodded this time.
"I don't know if things have escalated or not…but it wouldn't hurt to try, right?"
"Of course." Monique always had a feeling Kim would say that one day. She and Ron were so close, it was almost impossible to stay platonic forever…
Kim sighed once more, "But now that Bonnie's got Ron locked in her spell, I bet it'll be a long time before she lets go of him…"
Monique thought for a second. "Say Kim…you don't think Bonnie could just be doing this to get back at you, do you?"
Kim considered this. It never occurred to her like that. But even Bonnie wouldn't sink that low just for jealous revenge…would she?

"The Kimmunicator!" Rufus announced. He reached into his pocket to pull it out. "I almost forgot to give it back to Kim. I'll return it after we answer this…"
"Hey kids!" came an unknown voice from the Kimmunicator.
"Wait a minute. That's not Wade! It looks like an advertisement!" Rufus told Ron.
"(How'd they get our frequency?…)"
Generic 'happy' music started playing in the background of the Kimmunicator. "Have you ever dreamed about having Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable at your house?" the voice continued. "Have you ever dreamed about playing with them EVERY single say?? Well now you can!! With the new…KP Incorporated action figures!! They punch! They kick! And sometimes Ron even…loses his pants."
The screen flashed with a video of the Ron action figure losing his pants and falling on his face.
"(Hey!)"
"And for all you boys out there…sorry. Kim's clothes are permanently attached…aww. But it's okay! Because if you hurry now, you can get BOTH these toys for only…thirty-nine ninety-nine! That's right! Only thirty-nine ninety-nine!"
"(Geez. Expensive, much?)"
"So if you want these one of a kind action figures, hurry up and head to…"
A new image flashed on the screen. It was a map. The placed marked on it didn't seem too far from the school either.
"The abandoned- I mean, the newly designed Toy Mania! Don't miss it!"
With one final flash the screen went blank again.
"(Rufus did you get that?)"
"I suppose you want to go right?"
"(For sure!!)" Ron pumped his fists.
"Well, at least it'll take your mind off Kim…"
