Chapter 7: Figuring the Puzzle

Note: I just got my tonsils out. X Ouch. Which means, I have more time to write Chapters! D

After about a month of bickering, arguing, fighting, hating, and confusion towards each other, Kim and Ron were in full heat. The eye color had turned from a dark maroon, and the color rised ever since. It's now at an off red.

Monique could finally not take it. Just before Kim left her locker, and was about to shut it, Monique put a nail filer to keep the door open as Kim walked away. Rufus sat on her shoulder, helping her best he can. Opening her locker, Monique was soon face to computer with Wade.

"Oh, hey Monique." He didn't sound, or look as cheerful as he usually is.

Monique repeated, like she had in the last weeks, "Wade, any news on the sitch with Kim and Ron?"

Wade actually smiled. "Suprisingly, yes. How do they look now."

"Mad. What else would they look like?"

"I know, really. But, what color are their eyes?" Wade replied, curiousity in his voice.

"Uh..." Monique thought, "It used to be...um...Maroon! That's it! But now..." She thought.

Rufus pushed against her cheeks. Letting out several squeaks, you could, but barely, hear him uttterly squeak out a "Rising colors!"

Nodding Monique repeated it under her breath. "Rising Colors..."

"What was that?" Wade replied, perking up.

Smiling, she responded. "Rising Colors!" Clasping her fists together, she grinned.

Wade grinned in return. "I was hoping you'd say that. What I've picked up are a new brand of Moodulator..."

"..Like the one that was on Kim that time before?"

"Yeah, but worse!" Wade replied, "Shego has modified the Moodulators so they're permanent. She's set it to hate a specific person - Guess who's on the list?"

"So that's what the funk was all about!" Monique looked serious, as she waited for more info.

Wade typed fastly. "By the time the two reach full color, they could die from the anger and hatred! But, there is one way to disarm it - but it will be tricky."

Monique sneered. "What's the big? I'm sure I could handle it." Smiling slightly with pride, she looked back at him on the screen.

"Since the two have seperate settings, there are two things you need to do. One, is to make Ron realize his times with Kim, and all that...well...touchy feely stuff."

"I got it!" Monique squealed. "The Christmas Scrapbook Kim gave to Ron! He must still have it..."

"That would be perfect!" Wade smiled. "But...there is a tougher one for Kim..."

"...And what would that be?" She questioned.

He responded, and looked to the celing, hands wrapped in each other. "Uh...you need to get Kim to tell Ron, 'I love you.' Or, he needs to say it to her."

Rufus gasped.

"I have to what!" She exclaimed, throwing her hand out to the sides.

Wade replied without confidence. "There's nothing I can do, this is up to you and Felix...and Rufus. Good luck, I'll keep you posted."

Monique sighed. "This will never work..." She closed her eyes angrily. "But...Kim and Ron are worth it..."
