"To my funeral? Must you be so dramatic?'

"Oh, but the drama has only just begun," a wild eyed Monkey Fist says.

"Ah-huh, yeah. Whatever. Where's Kim?"

"Oh, yes. The hero, but to you she is so much more."

"Getting a little too creepy here. I think you've been spending a little too much time with evil's craft project."

"So you feel it too. I'm not surprised but I, unlike you, embrace its allure. I don't fear the mask's power. I relish it. Once I discovered the ancient legends describing it, I knew nothing could stop me from ruling this planet once I obtained it."

"Ahem."

"I said nothing didn't I?"

"Oh, play on words there. Nice." Ron then realizes he has just been insulted. "Hey!"

Monkey Fist features change from a wicked jolliness to a solemn menace as he narrows his contemptuous eyes at Ron. "That is what you are Ron Stoppable, nothing. The only thing that gives you any value is the fact that you possess mystical monkey powers, which should be mine. My entire life devoted to obtaining them only to have to share them with a buffoon like you. Every time I see or even think of you is a constant slap in the face for me. Do you have any idea what that's like?"

"Yeah, you have issues. I get that, but I have more pressing concerns at the moment."

Monkey Fist regains his earlier emotional disposition. "Ah yes, your Juliet's welfare."

A puzzled and confused look forms on Ron's face. "Juliet?"

Monkey Fist states in matter of fact tone, "It was an allusion."

Ron ponders out loud, "Allusion? Now why does that sound so familiar? Where have I heard that word before? That wouldn't be a school word would it?"

An annoyed, slightly depressed expression forms on Monkey Fist's face. "I think I would have a more intelligent conversation with the rodent. Which by the way is the final insult to my life long endeavor since it too posses mystical monkey powers."

Ron turns to Rufus and states in a nonchalant matter, "See, so dramatic."

"Oh, yeah," responds Rufus.

Monkey Fist makes his way to the stone throne and sits down as two of his monkey ninja stand on either side of the throne. Monkey Fist places the mask on the large armrest of the throne. "You think I'm dramatic. Wait until you see what I have in store for you."

With a snap of his figures a figure emerges from the shadows behind Monkey Fist's stone throne. Ron and Rufus's eyes enlarge with shock and unbelief as the figure fully steps into the torch light.

Ron expresses his shock with one only word. "Kim!"

Her beautiful light skinned face shoves only a deadpan expression toward Ron's bewildered countenance as her usually life filled green eyes only hold a deadness that sends a spastic chill down Ron's spine. Paralyzed by his shock, Ron remains rooted and unable to command his legs to move.

Monkey Fist relishes the scene before him because it and the expression on Ron's face surpass anything he could have expected or imagined when his brain first conceived such an insipid idea.

"Now this is dramatic," exclaims an overjoyed Monkey Fist. "Let's see if love really hurts. Kim Possible, destroy Ron Stoppable and when you're finish prepare my tea and bring me some banana chips."

"Yes master," responds Kim.

The sound of Kim's deadpan response to Monkey Fist's command brings Ron out of his stupor. "Along side the deja vu, this is sick, wrong, ironic, and so totally obvious all at the same time!"

As Kim begins to stalk her target, Ron slowly backpedals away while Rufus jumps from Ron's shoulder to the stone floor of the alcove. At that moment, the kimmunicator in Ron's hand begins to beep. Ron immediately presses the button and Wade's face appears on its screen.

"Ron, did you find Kim?" asks Wade.

"Yes and no."

Wade begins to ask what Ron means when he notices Ron's shock and frightful expression. "What's wrong Ron?"

As Ron begins to answer, Kim closes the distance, snatches the kimmunicator right out of his hand, and hurls it toward the ground. She then steps on it causing the screen to shatter and terminating the call.

"I'm so glad Wade doesn't make me pay for these things when they brake," says a worried and nervous Ron.
