"Hey Kim," Monique said as the three friends walked down the hallway back to the lunch room, "Ron and I have been talking, we think we should try out too!" Monique beamed at her surprised friend. "No!" Kim cried out. This was appalling! How could her friends do this to her? "Why not?" Ron asked a bit hurt that Kim was not grateful that her friends would be alongside her. "I just --- already have enough competition as it is. I mean ---- I have to beat Heather Whales!" Kim exclaimed to her friends. "I won't try out for Juliet then. And Ron won't try out for Romeo." Monique assured her. "Huh?" Ron said, unaware of Monique's suggestion. "Yeah whatever." Ron said clueless. Kim hugged them both. "Okay! Thank you! Who are you trying out for?"
Monique and Ron looked at each other nervously. Monique quickly came up with an answer. "I'll be trying out for the Nurse. Ron will be trying out for Benvolio." "No Monique, I'm trying out for . . ." Ron's brain snapped into action. "Benvolio." Monique finished for him signing his name to a casting sheet next to hers. "This will be so much fun!" Kim remarked cheerfully sitting down at a cafeteria table that wasn't covered in the mushy food the lunch ladies served. "No big. I wasn't about to miss Mankey in tights!" Monique squealed. Ron gagged. THAT was a disturbing thought. "Oh Ron, Quit being a baby." "I'm not a baby!" Whined Ron. The girls didn't respond. They were too busy giggling over how great this play was going to be. "I'm not a baby!" Ron repeated louder. Still, the girls were squealing and swooning over Josh. How Ron wished, that pretty boy wasn't always their center of attention.
Tomorrow were the auditions. Perhaps the director would see something in Ron. Perhaps, he wouldn't be placed as Romeo's "sidekick" maybe, just maybe, he would be cast as Romeo! For once, maybe he, Ron Stoppable, could be the very best!
