"Shego!" Ron yelled.
"Yeah what!? So I got your friend...whatcha gonna do about it, huh??" she replied arrogantly.
"You let her go now!!"
"Sorry, honey. Can't do that. She's my hostage now and…"
Shego's stomped harder on Kim's helpless body, which made her cry out. Everybody in Bueno Nacho looked on in horror.
"…and I kinda like it," Shego finished.
Frustrated and worried for his friend, Ron tried to think up of a plan right on the spot. Kim was in a pretty bad spot. "You…you…you'll never get away with this!" Ron grumbled. "You just wait until-"
"Until Kimmie comes to save the day? Nuh-uh. Ain't gonna work this time…"
Drakken walked up next to Shego and gave an evil grin to everyone watching. Both of the super villains took GREAT pleasure in seeing Kim squirm.
"Now if anyone ELSE wants to try and 'save the day,'" Drakken continued, "then, by all means, step up…otherwise you can all say good bye to-"
"Enough!"
There was silence. Even Shego stopped, surprised to see someone take up her challenge. But when she looked to see who it was, she had to hold a hand over her mouth to suppress her laughter.
"And who're YOU supposed to be? Her boyfriend or something?"
Josh stepped up and stared Shego down, but she didn't seem to be intimidated. "My name's Josh. Let Kim go. NOW."
Kim lifted her head up a little and smiled at Josh, but she soon had squelch her eyes again after Shego gave her another stomp.
"Well aren't you a brave little boy?" Shego taunted. "Kinda cute, though…" She tilted his head up with her finger to get a better view of his face. Josh pulled away and kept his glare locked on Shego and Drakken.
Shego smiled. "Wait. I remember you…you're that one guy who went on a date with Possible. Do embarrassment ninjas ring a bell?"
"…Embarrassment ninjas? …well I DO recall a few strange moments…"
"Heh," Shego snorted. "At least she's got good taste in boys," she said, looking down on Kim. "For a second there I thought she was going out with THIS loser."
Shego pointed to Ron.
"Hey!"
"It's okay Ron," Josh said bravely while holding back Ron. "I'll handle this."
"pft" Drakken laughed. "What're YOU gonna do about it? Hit us all with a…skateboard or something?"
Josh wasted no time, landing a tremendously powerful knee lift into Shego's gut, forcing her to step off of Kim and fall to her knees in pain. Ron watched in shock.
"Ahhh!!!" Shego yelled.
Kim looked at her hero, bleary-eyed. "J…J…Josh?"
"Hiya!!" Josh yelled.
"No!!! Not in the belly!!"
thwack
Ron cringed as Drakken was sent flying to the wall. It even left cracks as he slid to the floor.
"Ooooohhh…" Drakken held his stomach painfully. "Who IS this guy??? I thought SHE was the only one who could fight," he said, referring to Kim.
"I guess we thought wrong…ooohhh…very wrong." Shego finally summoned enough strength to get to her feet. She pointed a finger angrily at Josh. "This isn't over pretty boy!! You and your 'oh-so-perfect' girlfriend are…ooohh never mind. I gotta go…c'mon Doc." She dragged herself and Drakken to the door, leaving only Josh and a group of stunned onlookers.
Josh brushed his shoulders off confidently. "That'll teach em……"
Josh paused.
"What?"
He turned left and right then down to Kim. None of them made a move. They were all staring at their newfound hero. Kim picked herself off the ground (with Josh's help) and looked into his eyes.
She spoke with a humble tone in her voice. "Josh…that…was…"
The silent spectators decided they couldn't stay quiet anymore so they broke up Kim's sentence. The entire Bueno Nacho exploded in celebration. Everyone from boys to girls to men to women all gave Josh a form of congratulations. Many high fives, hugs, and pats on the back were exchanged. The only person not joining in the crowd was the blonde boy with folded arms and a jealous stare, standing near his food booth.
"I could've done that…" he told himself.
"Josh that was amazing!!" Kim yelled thankfully. She threw her arms around him and they both embraced in a loving hug.
The whole place, excluding Ron, went, "Awwww…" They even started to clap and whistle at the perfect couple.
"Anything for you, Kim," Josh explained.
"That's so sweet!" someone commented loud enough for Ron to hear.
Ron clenched his fists.
"Where did you learn to fight like that???" Kim asked excitedly.
"Well, I MIGHT'VE take a few martial arts lessons here and there. Nothing special," he joked.
"Josh…" Kim thought for a moment. "With that kind of skill, you might be able to use it for the sake of mankind…you know, on a regular basis," she reasoned.
'Oh crap…' Ron thought. She wouldn't. Not like that. Not JUST like that. He saves the day ONCE and he already gets a chance to…
"So I was thinking…" Kim continued.
'No…'
"That maybe…since you said it yourself that you want a job where you get to help people…"
'NO…'
"That you could join the team with me and Ron."
Ron's heart stopped. 'Please say no. Please say no. Please say no. Please say no. Please say no.'
"Well…that's a really big responsibility…" Josh thought out loud. "But if it's okay with my parents then I'd be glad to give it a shot!"
Bueno Nacho quickly filled with loud cheers and hollering. Kim once again gave a Josh an affectionate hug.
"You hear that, Ron???" Josh yelled to Ron, with Kim still hanging on his shoulders and the loud celebration in progress. "We're gonna be teammates! I'll spend everyday with you, Rufus, and…" He grinned uncontrollably at the last word. "Kim."
Needless to say, Ron couldn't think up of enough curse words at the moment…so he gave Josh a big thumbs up.
Rufus sighed. "Oh boy…"
Kim then lifted a leg up and gave her hero a peck on the cheek.
