Chapter 5
The Miseducation of Josh Mankey
In accordance with tradition, Kim and Ron had agreed not to see each other until the wedding day, even though Ron had his misgivings,
"What about Mankey?" he asked,
"Shego has decided to bunk in the spare bedroom at my house, I think I'm okay." Kim said, smiling slightly,
"Sounds like you got all the bases covered." Ron said,
"Yeah," Kim replied, looking at Ron, "now, I think you should get home, before I change my mind, and take you upstairs with me."
It was later that same night, when an unknown figure walked through the front door, he walked to the hallway, and to the stairs that led to Kim's attic bedroom,
'This is too easy.' he thought, until the lights came on, and standing in front of him, wasn't Kim, but Shego,
"Well, well, well," Shego said, her hands glowing bright green, "you must be Josh Mankey, allow me to introduce myself."
Before Josh could move, Shego had thrown a laser blast straight into his chest, knocking him into the wall behind him,
"My name is Shego, displeased to meet you." Shego said, walking toward Josh, her hands still glowing,
"Who are you?" Josh asked, getting up slowly,
"I would recommend you stay down, Josh." came Kim's voice from behind him,
"Who is that?" Josh asked, turning on his heel, and coming face-to-face with a very angry Kim, who placed a well timed spinning back kick to his chest, sending him flying to toward Shego, who caught him, mid–air, with a spinning heel kick, putting him to the floor,
"We make a good team, don't we?" Shego asked, looking at the prone form of Josh Mankey, and snickering slightly,
"We sure do." Kim replied,
"Not as good as you and Ron, though." Shego said, looking at Kim, who smiled.
Josh Mankey woke up slowly, finding himself on the front lawn of the Stoppable home,
'What happened to me?' he thought, rubbing his throbbing right side, noticing where he was, he decided since he didn't get lucky with Kim, he would try to force Ron to back out of the marriage. He snuck in through an open window on the ground floor, and proceeded to Ron's bedroom, unfortunately for him, Ron was awake, and in the kitchen,
"Explain yourself, Mankey. You got ten seconds." Ron said, standing in the hallway that separated the kitchen from the living room,
"You're not going to marry Kim, not if I have anything to say about it." Josh said, running at Ron, who sidestepped him easily, then, Josh was greeted with a second voice,
"Good evening, young man. We meet again." came the voice of Monkey Fist, who was dressed in his usual black gi,
"Who are you?" Josh asked,
"To my friends, I'm known as Lord Monty Fiske, to my enemies, I'm known as Monkey Fist, and guess which one you are?" Monkey Fist said, looking at Josh, who was sprawled on the kitchen floor,
"A friend?" Josh asked, hoping it was the right guess,
"Wrong answer." Monkey Fist said, bringing his hand down on Josh's chest hard, a loud cracking sound signaled that Monkey Fist had broken some ribs in that exchange,
"Why don't you quit while you're ahead, Josh, you've already got some broken ribs, and if you keep it up, I'm gonna break more than that." Ron said, dropping into a battle stance. Unfortunately, for Josh, he didn't learn from one attack, 'This boy is a sucker for punishment.' Ron thought, as Josh ran toward him, Ron grabbed onto Josh's shirt, and flung him out of the same open window he had came through with a loud crash, as he hit the fence on the other side of the yard,
"I did warn you, Josh." Ron said, closing the window.
Once again, Josh woke up in a strange place, not knowing how he got there,
'Rockwaller, Bonnie's house, what am I doing here?' he asked himself, looking around,
'Bonnie's a bridesmaid at Kim's wedding, this'll be a too easy target.' Josh thought, how wrong he was.
No sooner had he walked into the house, than he was greeted by Bonnie Rockwaller, and her older sisters, Loni, and Connie,
"And who are you?" Loni asked, looking at Josh,
"Josh Mankey, what makes you think I'd let you just walk into my house without getting your butt kicked." Bonnie said, stepping forward, a smile on her face,
"Because this is going to be too easy." Josh said,
"Oh, by the way, we knew you were coming, as did Ron, as did Kim and Shego, you see, we've been in contact with each other over the phone all night, just waiting for you to show your face." Bonnie said, still wearing that evil smile, by this time, another person made their presence known, he was the oddest man that Josh had ever met. He was tall, thin, and blue-skinned,
"Hello, allow me the time to introduce myself, Dr. Drakken, and I'm going to be the last thing you remember, as you leave this house tonight, you'll remember nothing that happened over the last three days." Drakken said, producing a ray gun of some type,
"I call this my forgetfulness ray." he said, aiming at Josh, and pulling the trigger.
The next time that Josh would wake up, he would not remember how he had ended up with four broken ribs, and numerous bruises over his body, nor would he remember his run-ins with Monkey Fist, Drakken, and Shego, and he wouldn't remember how he had gotten admitted into the hospital, placed into a bed, and strapped down to it, admitted into the psychiatric ward, considered as suffering from bi-polar disorder.
A/N: Ouch! That's GOTTA hurt, poor Josh, in the psych ward of the hospital, ooh, Kim is sooo evil when it comes to being pushed too far, next up, the wedding.
