Short chapter but finally an update, at least. Again, no spacing or asterisks so some of this might confuse you. If it seems wierd, don't blame me...

And if you think I don't have enough ideas to finish this story then don't fret. I've got plenty ideas and a mental image of where I want to take this story. I'm just having a little trouble finding time to write it up. I hope you enjoy this chapter, the rest of the story, and I hope you take the time to read my other fics. Thanks baby.

....Haha. Whatever. Here ya go:

The next day at school, Josh was all smiles. When news started to spread that he had joined Kim and Ron's "team", people from all over started to congratulate him, much to Ron's displeasure.

"Hey Ron!" Josh said, raising his right hand in the air. Being polite, Ron forced himself to give Josh a high five.

"Hey...Josh."

"Do you wanna hang out after our tutoring session later? Maybe go to Bueno Nacho or something?"

Ron's eyes started to twitch nervously. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get himself to like this guy. He was nice...but something about him got to Ron.

"No thanks," Ron declined as nicely as he could.

"Really? Kim's gonna be there."

'Ooh,' Ron thought angrily. 'I can't leave this guy alone with Kim. He might try to take her home with him...' Ron said to himself, trying to imagine what Josh was really thinking. 'You dirty little pervert...better not even TOUCH her...'

Ron changed his mind. "Sure."

"Heh," Josh chuckled. "Knew that would get ya..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron asked suspiciously.

"Oh. Nothing..."

Josh gave Ron a nod and walked off, only to be greeted by more excited students.

"How can they be so happy for him???" Ron thought. "I've been saving the world with Kim since the beginning and they never did anything for me..."

"Jealous, much?"

Ron literally jumped up and looked around. When he saw who it was, he gulped.

"Bonnie?? Did I say that outloud?"

"Uh huh," she said smugly.

Ron sighed. "Well it's not like it matters...pretty soon Kim will kick me off the team and permanently replace me with Josh...I can just see it. Besides, she likes him more than me anyway..."

"Jeez Stoppable. Don't get all emotional about it."

"Why would you care?"

"I'd normally like to see you mope around like this but not when Kim's getting so close to stealing my future husband."

Ron ignored the fact that she another student was fawning over Josh. "Bonnie, what am I gonna do? ...Wait a minute. I'm asking YOU for help! Aw man! It's happening! I'm changing! Kim's moving on without me and there's nothing I can do about it! This is it! This is the end!"

Bonnie stared at him, half annoyed at his little outburst. "...Uh...yeah...I'm gonna ignore the fact that you're a total loser...and help you out here."

"What???" Ron asked surprised.

"Yeah, I know. Shock, shock. Bonnie Rockwaller isn't a COMPLETE bully," Bonnie rolled her eyes and said sarcastically.

"What...what can you do to help?"

"Just tell me when things start to go bad and I'll...do something," she said nervously.

"What? What're you gonna do?"

"Listen, just call me if Kim and Josh really start to get close. Okay?"

"...Okay..." Ron agreed, still confused at what Bonnie meant.

"See, I know something that might work, but it's kinda extreme...you know what I mean?"

"Not really. But if it means that much to you, I'll talk to you if Kim and Josh start getting serious."

"Alright."

"...Thanks Bonnie, for...whatever you...might do..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Bonnie almost waved bye to Ron but didn't want to risk acting "friendly". She left and Ron was left still scratching his head.

"Hm...that was weird. Wonder what she meant, Rufus."

"Iono," Rufus shrugged.

Later, in the library...

"Hey! I'm starting to get the hang of this! I'm getting good at math! Haha! You hear that everybody!? I'M GETTING GOOD AT-"

"Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!" the librarian scolded.

"Oh. Sorry. But I am."

"Haha. Yeah, Ron. You're showing a lot of improvement for only a few days."

"Wow...this is amazing. I wonder why I never learned this stuff sooner..."

"I'm guessing that you were always pretty smart, but you never had the motivation to get to the next level. Just remember what I taught you whenever you need to study, and you'll be fine," Josh assured him.

"But...you're still my tutor for two more days, right?"

Josh nodded.

Ron pumped his fists "Cool!!-"

'Wait a minute. This is JOSH I'm talking to...'

"I mean. Sure, that sounds cool..."

"Great. Same time tomorrow, then?"

"Yeah..."

"Alright," Josh extended his hand for another high five, and Ron once again forced himself to accept. "Let's get going to Bueno Nacho. Kim's probably waiting."

"Yyyeah...about Kim..."

Josh stopped in his tracks and eyed Ron differently. "What, is there something wrong?"

"No, no. Nothing's wrong...but...I was just wondering if you were thinking of...you know...asking Kim out?"

"Uh, maybe. Why?"

"Just asking...from one friend to another, you know?"

"I gotcha." Josh nodded.

"Oh and...I'll give you a few tips about Kim. Just so you could have an easier time 'getting comfortable.'"

"Really? Well...thanks Ron. What do I need to know?"

"Well..." Ron smiled evilly. Him and Rufus both shared the same expression. "Kim loves wrestling so don't forget to tell her how much you love Pain King and Steel Toe."

"Okay."

"And tell her how much you like being friends with Bonnie."

"O...kay..."

"Then give her a BIG kiss on the lips...real aggressive like."

"Um...okay..."

"And slap her butt REALLY hard from behind, when she's not expecting it."

"...Sure..."

"When she eats, take her food without asking..."

"Uh huh..."

"...then eat it without stopping for a drink and without wiping your mouth with a napkin..."

"Yeah..."

"...then just lay back in your seat and wait for Kim to pay for the meal."

"..."

"Finally, the last thing you MUST remember is to trip Kim on the way out the door. She just loves those little pranks..."

"...Oh. Hahaha. Okay Ron, I'll be 'sure' to do all those things."

"Great!" Ron said excitedly.

'Haha. Ron's such a kidder...' Josh said to himself. 'I see why Kim loves hanging out with him so much.'

Inside Ron's mind, he actually thought Josh was stupid enough to believe him.

'Sweet...' he laughed eagerly.

Later at Bueno Nacho...

"Crap! He's not doing ANY of those things!"

"Aw man..." Rufus scowled.

"He's just talking...and leaning really close to Kim. A little TOO close..."

"WAY too close."

"And worst of all, Kim made me sit at this stupid table until she and Josh are done talking!"

"Bad Kim!"

"Why must I be tortured like this???" Ron asked no one in particular. "Just look at Josh go...he is WORKING it. Look at how impressed Kim looks."

"Ew. Josh..."

"That's right Rufus. This is getting ridiculous. Why am I just sitting here and letting everything pass me by like this?"

"Yeah! Charge!"

"Yeah..."

"Hey! Ron!"

"Huh? Wha???" Ron fell out of his seat in surprise. A few of the people around him snickered and made some rude comments. "Oh. Kim. What is it?"

"Wade just called. Monkey Fist just robbed a local antique shop for some sort of...monkey bracelet thing...you know how Monkey Fist is."

"Uh-huh. Yeah..."

"...And...let's go?"

"Oh. You wanted me to go WITH you? Oh! What an honor! Oh boy! I thought you already had 'Josh' to help you."

Kim sighed. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders. "Ron," she said softly. "You know how much I care about our friendship. No one could EVER take your place. I promise."

"...Really?"

"Really......now let's move it already! Monkey Fist might've gotten away!"

With that, Kim grabbed Ron by the shirt and tugged him as fast as she could outside. Josh was already waiting, and sporting his new mission gear.

"humph Women...always gotta play with your emotions..."

End of chapter.

I decided to start a new tradition by putting a joke at the end of every one of my chapters. You don't have to read it, it's just for fun and your enjoyment. All credit goes to
At school, a boy is told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth" even when you don't know anything.

The boy decides to go home and try it out. As he is greeted by his mother at the front door he says, "I know the whole truth." His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day, when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth." The mailman drops the mail, opens his arms and says, "Then come give your FATHER a big hug."
