Ron and Rufus sat in a booth at Bueno Nacho. Ron had ordered his standard snackage, a double order of Nacos, extra cheese. He hadn't even unwrapped them; they sat cold on the table.
"Man Rufus, I really messed up this time. I can't believe I let it slip like that. That I like watching Kim's back." He gazed at his reflection in the shiny chrome napkin dispenser before turning back to Rufus. "She knew what I meant, I know she did. You saw how she started shaking it after that, teasing me."
Monique walked in and headed for the booth that Ron was sitting in.
"Tease uh huh." Rufus squeaked.
"I'll never be able to live this down." Ron said dejectedly as he poked his fork into one of his still wrapped Nacos.
"Live what down?" Monique asked as she slipped into the booth across from him.
"Oh hey, Monique." Ron said his voice sunk in a kind of bleak melancholy.
"What's going on with you Ron? I've never seen you at Bueno Nacho not eating like this."
Ron sat quietly for a short time, "I have a problem Monique."
"What sort of problem Ron?" Monique asked.
"Kim." Ron admitted uncomfortably.
"Kim?"
"Yeah." Ron debated for a second as to just how much of the story Monique needed to hear. She was more of Kim's friend than his, and if word of this got back to Kim. Well he didn't want to think about what could happen. "You have to promise me something. None of what I tell you leaves this booth, no one else can know about this. Especially not Kim."
"Ok Ron, I promise. Now what's up?" Monique asked.
Ron started to explain what he was going through. He paused often during his admission, checking to make certain that no one was listening in. "Why is it happening? She's my best friend, she's Kim. Why can't I not stop thinking about her like that?
"Have you had the talk yet?"
"What's the talk?" Ron inquired.
"The birds and bees talk." Ron looked confused so Monique started to explain. "You see, when a boy and a girl are together…"
Meanwhile Back at the Lair
Drakken was explaining his plan to a very bored looking Shego.
"It's the birds and bees Shego. Don't you know anything?"
"I know more about it then you," she said with a smirk. "How are 'the birds and bees' going to break up Team Possible?"
"It's not only the birds and bees Shego, my plan is multifaceted. The gifts, they are just as important. The jealousy and resentment that they cultivate, only add to the pressure."
"Yeah, those gifts. If they ever figure out where they're coming from your plan is sunk and we're out some serious cash."
"They won't figure it out Shego; I have an inside lead on the daily goings on of Team Possible."
"I thought Rockwaller was a dead end as far as inside info."
"She was, so I recruited a new source, one with much more access."
"Yeah, whatever, now maybe you can explain to me just how you think that this plan of yours is going to ever work?"
"It's like I said Shego. The birds and bees, it's all in this book." He held up a dog-eared copy of 'The Birds and Bees for Dummies'.
"Well I can see that you have been doing a lot of late night reading. Or were you looking at the pictures?"
"There aren't any pictures!" Drakken snapped. "But, anyways. When a boy and a girl are together for so long, certain feelings are bound to come up. In one way or another." He moved toward her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "We are going to exploit these feelings that the buffoon is having, and destroy Team Possible."
Shego looked puzzled, then shocked, then sick. She began to retch.
"What is it Shego? Do you require medical attention?" He asked before arching half of his uni-brow, "because the doctor is in."
Shego ran out, screaming. "I quit! I quit!"
Bueno Nacho
It had been a long afternoon; Monique couldn't understand how someone as seemingly dense as Ron could ever have made it through high school. She almost had to resort to drawing pictures to get her points across. "So do you understand now Ron?" She asked exasperatedly.
"Yes." Ron lied, "no…Tell me again about the bees."
Monique would never again feel anything but sympathy for anyone that had to tutor Ron.
