With dignity laced beneath her pale skin, Kim slowly walked into the building on Friday. Her fingers were attached to the hood of Ron's jacket. It had been raining. Kim really only wanted something to hold onto though. Some comfort. Kim could already see kids pushing and shoving to get a view of the list. Kim was taking her time. The could be either good or bad. She KNEW she was on that call-back list for something. She wasn't as bad as Zita. But if Ron hadn't made the cut . . . He would be crushed.

Kim pulled Ron aside, distracted by something. She bent down to wipe off her shoe. Ron looked at her, "What?" "I-I can't look at that list Ron. It's going to be terrible!" Her breathing was heavy and separated. "Chill, If you don't make it, there's always next year." "But I want THIS year!" Kim said through raged sobs. Ron chucked and wiped her tears. "You don't want your mascara to run. Not in front of Bonnie . . . right? Not in front of Josh." Kim thought about this and gulped back her tears. He had a point. Kim placed her hand on Ron's shoulder and stood up. Ron seemed to quiver for a second when she did this, but he regained regularity quickly. "Ron, you're right. I'm prepared to face whatever's up there," She sighed, "Even if it's bad." "Remember, you're Kim Possible. You can do ANYTHING. Including, face rejection." Kim nodded; however she had only experienced rejection a few times in her life, and it wasn't anything too drastic. The time she had asked her parents if she could get her belly-button pierced. The time she had asked for an extension on her homework. It wasn't anything she couldn't stomach. But this . . . to her . . . this was life or death.

"Kim!" Someone threw their arms around Kim gleefully. It took Kim a moment to realize it was Monique. "Monique! What's the news? Did you make the call-back list?" Monique looked at her strangely and raised an eye- brow. "Call-back list?" She repeated idiotically. Kim nodded. "Yeah, that." "There is no call-back sheet Kim." Monique informed her sweeping her hair out of her face. "Come again?" "I mean – Mr. Barkin has posted the cast." "The . . . cast?" Kim's voice was lifeless. "Yeah. I got the role of the Nurse!" Monique squealed staring dreamily back at the list. "Super. Whose Juliet?" "Dunno. I got shoved out of the way before I could check." 'How convenient.' Kim thought. Now she HAD to go check.

"Ron come with me." Kim said biting her fingernails as she approached the wild frenzy of students. She could hear Ron and Monique tagging along behind her. She hasn't asked Monique to come. Emotional support probably. Good ol' Monique.

"Oh god." She said aloud as she watched students try to shove each other out of the way.

Bonnie emerged from the heap. Her mouth was covered with her perfectly manicured hand. Her eyes were blood-red. "I-I don't believe it." "Bonnie?" Kim asked concerned. She had never seen Bonnie like this before. She looked on the verge of exploding. "What's wrong?" "Lady Capulet?!" She shrieked, "I DON'T WANT TO BE LADY CAPULET!" She was trapped in her own emotional woe. Kim had to admit feeling sorry for poor Bonnie. She had given quite a tremendous audition. "Lady Capulet is a wonderful role. I'm sure Heather won't do as fine job as Juliet as you." Kim added sweetly. She didn't mean the second part but maybe it would help. Bonnie groaned, "Heather isn't Juliet." "Really? Roxanne then." Kim asked cocking her head to the side. Bonnie glared at her and shook her head, then the rushed off to cry some more. That had to be the first time Kim had ever seen Bonnie cry. What could have been so bad?

"Come on, let's go see for ourselves."

"Excuse me Justine." "Of course, Make way for the lady!" Justine retorted. "What was that?" Kim demanded. Justine just beamed. "Oh, nothing at all." Kim narrowed her eyes and slowly pulled Brick away. "Please let me through!" Kim gasped as two people rammed their hips into Kim's side. "Move it people!" Ron plowed all the people aside for Kim. They all seemed to be a bit annoyed but Kim's eyes were resting on the list.

Kim was speechless. That was by far the most screwed up list she had ever seen! How had she possibly gotten the role of Juliet? She didn't deserve it. Roxanne and Heather had surpassed them by far! Roxanne's name wasn't even on the list! And Heather had been given a minor role! Barely any lines at all! Kim's eyes skimmed the list again. RUFUS?! Rufus had received a part? He didn't even audition! Not that she was complaining though. The little guy would be thrilled. And JOSH, he was Romeo! Dreams did come true! She could picture herself now, in the spotlight, kissing Josh. And it was safe too! It was kissing on stage! No one would ever realize her true thoughts! Still, the cast list wasn't what she had hoped for.

"I-I'm not there." Kim heard Ron choke. She spun around and his back was facing her. 'That's right. Someone else got Benvolio.' Ron's name wasn't listed for any part at all. That was terrible.

"Sorry about all the work I put you through." Ron sadly walked away from Kim. Monique started after him and Kim grabbed the back of her blouse. "No, Monique. Let him be."

Monique sighed and her dark eyes followed Ron until he exited the auditorium completely. He was defiantly going to take this hard. Monique turned to Kim, She was too busy basking in her own glory to really worry about Ron right now. "Kim," Monique whispered as she watched Kim boast to Zita, "What has Josh done to you?"
