Well I've been getting a lot of suggestions about Ron starting his own group and becoming competition. This idea has come to mind in the past, but right now I'm deciding if I should go along with it.
Wayne – For the burglars…well…let's just say that in the upcoming chapters, you'll see why trying to sue her would be next to futile. As for the Prophecy thing, expect that to have more of a role in the upcoming chapters. Here's a hint (If you've played and completed Halo 2, you should not only get it, you should also see the spoiler as well.): Monkeys is to Elites as Gorillas are to Brutes.
vendoban – I apologize, but with working as well as working on my other stories, I won't be able to update as fast as I used to. On one thing though: I apologize, but I'm not really into Harry Potter stories. It's just not my thing. But I have to say that it's pretty good.
Whatever Star – Things are still going to be business as normal for Kim when it comes to missions. Only that there's going to be a price for her services. As for the possible alliance with Monkey Fist? Ain't gonna happen. In fact, he's possibly going to be the main villain in this one.
bommor – Throughout the series, Kim, at least more than once, has proven at times that she could be very shallow. While watching "Emotion Sickness" a while ago, I watched as Kim, under the moodulator chip, blamed Ron for losing the Kimmunicator when he picked up the wrong thing. Then I just blinked for one second and thought, (Cue the needle being scratched from the record.) "Wait a minute…didn't she had the Kimmunicator last and wasn't she the one who dropped it? That made me think, "Bonnie may be a shallow bitch, but is Kim truly any better?"
Mobius97 – Yeah I realized by looking at the last chapter, it made me blink twice at how many errors I've received. I basically had to watch carefully to make sure that I hardly use the exclamation mark.
BuckNC – There's a few "Honor" bits in this chapter. I hope you're not disappointed.
ron-sama – I haven't actually seen "Team Impossible" yet so I hardly have any idea what you mean. The newest episode I've seen is "Rappin' Draken" on Disney channel.
campy – That won't be the last time Kim will beat someone up, even if it's not during a mission. That's all I'm going to say.
Chief316, qtpie235, The List – The amount of exclamation marks should be significantly less than the previous chapters.
DarkJackel – That's a good theory about the new direction Team Possible (Should it be called that anymore?). As for who wins the fight? Find out yourself.
Michelle – As for Ron's heart being broken, it was stated in previous chapters that it wasn't exactly the fact that she didn't like him. It was mainly because of her one moment saying that she loved him, and then next day when she gets back together with Josh? It's like 'I'm sorry, I must've not been thinking clearly. I don't love you." In Ron's mind, Kim sees him as a guy who'll always be there for her, an okay boyfriend but when a better one comes he could always be left hanging. As for the restaurant thing, seeing the ending of Two to Tutor should explain a lot but I'll explain it right now: Ron's restaurant closed down because of the Health Inspector seeing Rufus serving food. Kim's call was just an exaggeration, just to motivate the Health Department to come to the school faster. But one question comes to mind: If Kim really did had Ron's best interests at heart, then why did she do it behind his back, and with Bonnie's cell phone at that? I'll be honest with you on the state of Kim and Ron's friendship: They might become friends again, but don't hold your breath for it to happen. Especially on what'll happen inthe upcommingchapters.
Chapter 6: Smackdown (In My Town)
Two pairs of dark-colored eyes narrowed as their owners were in their fighting stance. The rules were as simple as apple pie: There were no knockouts or surrendering. If you fell onto the ground, you lose! Let's take a look at the tale of the tape of our competitors…
Yori had a lot riding in this little duel, as the success of her plan to free Stoppable-San of the burden he was carrying depended on her victory. Naturally, she felt that she had the advantage as she had a tremendous amount of experience. Her years of training beat his months of training any day. Needless to say, she wasn't fighting for just their assessment of their fighting abilities, but for him in a way…
Ron was at a crossroads. On one hand, Ron knew deep down that he had to tell someone about his troubles sometime. Sensei was right; it was not wise to fight with a heavy heart. And after he found out what Kim did, his heart was as heavy as it could possibly become. Deep down, he knew that he had to deal with these problems sometime in the future. But that didn't mean that he had to be forced to, either. Yori may have had years of training over his measly months, but Ron had two things on his side. One was, of course, the Mystical Monkey power that would help him greatly. And the other was…well…whatever it was the blonde couldn't place his finger on it at the moment.
"Are you ready, Stoppable-San?" Thefemale ninjaasked.
Ron only answered with a simple nod. No jokes, no humor. All business and nothing more. However, he began to wonder: Was it fair for him to use the Mystical Monkey power against her? Ron considered fighting against the power, but then again, if he placed too much focus fighting from within instead of the fight itself he would lose before it truly begun. Besides, he had to basically learn to fully embrace the power anyway if he was going to become the ultimate Monkey Master…despite how sick and wrong it sounded.
"Then it will be my honor to defeat you, Stoppable-San!" She said.
"I believe that it will be me who'll have the honor to-" Ron was cut off with a kick, which he managed to block. He didn't even finish what he was going to say, but that was life and not everyone was up for hearing any banter, no matter how witty it may be. He managed to block a few more punches with his forearms, even managing to dodge a kick. However, he couldn't keep being on the defensive for too long, as damage from blocking builds up to the point that blocking an attack can hurt you as much as it could if it hit you head on. But Ron was already in a dilemma: If he attacked now, who's to say that Yori wasn't expecting that from him, waiting to counter and knock him down. Costing him the match. It was then when he decided: When Yori threw a kick that was high enough he'd grabbed her leg and take the win for himself.
Adding a few more strikes and a few kicks to his shins, Yori felt her chances of victory growing near. She knew that his arms can't last forever to block her blows and she had noticed that he'd use his shins to block the low kicks as well. His fighting has indeed improved from last time, she admitted. But that was still not going to be enough to defeat her. She knew that one of Ron Stoppable's most noticeable flaws was his focus, or lack thereof. He was at times easily distracted. She knew that distraction was not the most honorable way to victory, but Stoppable-San had to learn: Not everyone could be as honorable in a fight as she was and would do whatever it took to obtain victory.
With his forearms becoming more and more tender from the punches, Ron decided to ditch his old strategy and to come up with a new one. As Yori threw another punch, Ron caught it with one hand. She threw another punch with her freehand as Ron, again caught it. This time, with his other hand! With her hands caught, Ron had her right where he wanted. He could taste the all-too-sweet fruits of victory as he let out a smile. "Y'know Yori, you're a good fighter!" He complemented.
"You're not too bad yourself, Stoppable-San!" She replied. "You have improved in your training!"
"Sorry to say that you're going down." Ron then added, "Oh, and Yori? When I win, it will be your honor to-." Ron was interrupted by a pair of feet kicking him in the jaw, weakening his grip on his opponent's fists as Yori landed from her acrobatic escape. During the 15-second chat he had with her, it was apparent that it was 15 seconds too long as Yori used his lack of focus to her advantage. Here was the stage: Ron's arms were already sore and his shins were getting there as well. Meanwhile Yori hardly had a scratch. In fact, she's been dominating this fight from the get go. Just when he thought that he had made it halfway, it turned out that he still had a long ways to go. But if he was going to lose, that didn't mean that he couldn't go out without a strong fight.
And here they were, back at a standoff. Unofficially, it was Yori: 2, Ron: 0, but both fighters still had a chance to win, one with a highly more likely chance than the other. Unfortunately, another one of Ron's flaws was impatience. It must have taken at least around a good five minutes before Ron felt a bit restless. Wasn't anyone going to make a move?
'Yori's got some cool moves…' He thought to himself, sweat pouring down on his face. But then again so did he. And now was the perfect time to use them! He knew that it was a bit childish, seeing that it was inspired by a little thing that he called the "power of imagination." This doohickey required for his opponent to be lifted, but if it worked, the battle would be over, leaving him the victor. That was if his opponent even attempted another move. He just felt like screaming. Screaming for Yori to just get on with it already. And he knew that under that mask of seriousness, Yori was giggling at his frustrations.
"I will give you the honor to give up, Stoppable-San." Yori offered, but Ron knew her plan: Yori wanted to goad him into fighting, making him mess up on a move and leaving him open for the finishing blow. That wasn't going to happen, not today…
Instead of what she wanted, Ron simply said, "I believe that the honor is yours!" No way he was going to give up this easily. His quitting days were long over. "Otherwise, bring it on!"
After about what appeared to be eternity for Ron but in reality a full ten minutes, the duel began once more. This time, it was Yori who was on the defensive, as Ron decided to go all out with a flurry of punches and kicks. First rush in on overdrive, then break, and then repeat. Yori blocked most of his blows, while she dodged the rest. Much to the blonde's dismay, who wondered if he was just too slow or she was just too fast.
'Okay…time to break it down!' Ron decided as he then all of a sudden dropped down and rolled his legs, which were at around 40 degrees apart, around like a windmill! True, he did picked it up as a part of the Oh Boyz dance routine, it did had potential as a move that was handy for knocking down opponents, with the momentum of the move being supported by the arms keeping his body from the ground. This move would be considered to be Ron's best throughout the entire battle as it did surprise Yori, who continuously evaded the continuous spinning kicks, as Ron's foot at that moment hit her ankle…
"OWW!" Yori cried as she collapsed down to one knee, placing a hand on what now appeared to be a sprained ankle as she moaned in her native language. This was enough to get the attention of her assailant who stopped and rushed over! From the look on his face, shock and fear wouldn't have been enough. He just wanted to knock her down, not injure her! She was one of the few people that actually liked him, and he had to injury her. Terrific.
"Yori…" Ron asked as he kneeled. "A-are you okay? Are you injured? Let's see the ankle!" His expression might have mellowed out and his voice might have been calm, but in his mind he was screaming "OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE? OH WHAT HAVE I DONE?" His mental ranting was cut off as he soon found himself tripped andknocked down on his back. And when he figured out what just happened, all he heard was Yori giggling at him, standing before him! "HEY!" Her ankle was never injured at all! That little…
"It looks like I win, Stoppable-San!" She said as she offered her hand to him, which he accepted.
"You cheated!" Ron protested, now back on his feet.
"On the contrary, I just deceived you." She explained. "One must always be ready at all times. Not everyone will fight honorably."
"Ironic." He simply said before sighing. "I guess I won't be learning how to disappear anytime soon…"
Yori blinked at this realization, "What do you mean?"
"If I had won, I would've wanted you to help me learn how to that disappearing trick." Ron admitted. "Guess that's not happening anytime soon."
Once again, Yori let out a giggle. "You will learn how to execute that technique in due time. But first, tell me. How did you-"
"The spinning windmill thing?" Ron asked as he was met with a nod. "Something I picked up from an Oh Boyz dance routine." He was met with a blank stare. "The Oh Boyz, y'know? Boy Band Pop group sensation?" Again, Yori had a confused look on her face. "Don't you guys have TV, radio, anything?"
"We do not have these things." Yori explained, "Master Sensei made sure that we were away from such distractions so they would not interfere with our training."
"You have a point, but what do you guys do when you're not training?" Ron asked. Granted, he knew that here he wasn't going to just lounge on the couch watching GWA. In fact, that was the last thing he wanted to do. This was a journey for Ron to find himself. To find a purpose, not treat this like a vacation. Not to live the life as a pink sloth.
"So…what's the plan for the rest of the day?" Ron decided to change the subject. Since Yori won the battle, he basically had to do what Yori wanted to do, in terms of releasing whatever kind of burden he might have had. As much as he didn't wan to talk about it, he knew that he'd have to someday soon...very soon.
"We will meditate for the rest of the day." She explained as she readjusted her gi to straighten it out a bit. "One of your weaknesses is your lack of focus. Meditation will be the first step to remedy this."
Ron nodded, Yori was right. Focus was one of his major weaknesses that were in serious needs of improvement. Another one was his lack of confidence. He knew that he could handle fighting and taking care of business when it counted, but that was when the chips were down and he had no other alternative. When it came to everything else, half the time he had doubts about his own abilities. So many doubts that he had to put up a mask and act like a goof to hide it from others. Cooking was one of the only few things that he was really confident in. Hell, he even had his own restaurant. Until a certain red haired treacherous closet-snob ruined it for him… But that was over now. Now, he was at a place where he was not judged for being different, or judged for how popular you were. But for how good of a person you are…
Middleton HighThe next day came by quickly as all everyone can think about is the upcoming summer vacation. Mostly everyone had already made plans for the summer. Heading out to beaches. Touring around the world. The jocks, of course, planned on going to training camps of their respective sports. Everyone had already made plans and was excited for them to start after that final bell rang for the last time this school year. That is, except one…
For Hope Martinez, things weren't that exciting. She wasn't exactly a happy camper to be back at school. In fact, she was pissed. As much as she missed Bonnie and Tara, why couldn't she have just stayed in Japan? Why did she have to come back to Middleton High when she was just going to go back to Japan in two weeks anyway? A waste of time and money indeed! Oh right…exam week. The week where the teachers threw everything they could at the students to see which one of them choked. The students would be tested on everything they've learned. Personally, she believed that they did this just to make the students suffer. Why? She had no idea.
As she was about to walk up on the steps, she instantly stopped as she saw a cherry red corvette drive up to a parking spot near the front door of the school! Apparently, she wasn't the only one in shock, as other students appeared to be watching the new arrival. The right door opened as a person came out. Hope recognized him as Josh Mankey! Unless either of them had gotten a car while she was away, wasn't he dating Kim? Her question was answered as the door to the driver seat was opened. A leg clad in a white stiletto boot stepped out followed by another one. She stood fully as she was dressed in a black tube skirt that was three inches above the knee and that same white T-shirt with a pink heart printed in the center she sometimes wore. Hope knew that she wore skirts, but only on rare occasions.
"Since when does Kim wear stilettos? Let alone drive a car like this?" She asked herself as she watched the lovely couple walk inside of the school building. Hope just shrugged it off. "Probably got it as a thank you gift." She supposed. "Does Ron know about this?" Hope shook her head. Why was she even thinking about him? If Bonnie knew about this, she'd take her head off. "He's a loser!" She would say to her. She would say it to her until it stuck into her head. She used to agree with her. After all, he wasn't exactly the best dresser, he was a bit of a klutz, and he was always the jocks' favorite punching bag. Plus he was more or less Kim's official butt-kisser. Never being able to do something right without her around. But lately, after the whole Chez Ron thing, as well as him saving them from Gill after the first Wannaweep fiasco, she started to see that there was more to him. 'If only he'd actually do something…' She sometimes thought. Needless, to say, Hope just agreed with Bonnie lately about Ron just to shut her up. Especially when she scolded Tara to even having a crush on him. Ron wasn't that bad of a guy, but things were just the way they were. They were on top and he was on the bottom of the Social Hierarchy. At least he appeared to at least have a better personality than half the jocks she's dated. At least he wouldn't try to "get it on" on the first date…if he ever had one, that is.
Speaking of the blonde, Hope walked over to the parking spot where his scooter sometimes was parked. Lately he hasn't bother with it, not like it'd make a difference as its speed made a snail look like a rabbit in a turtle race. The scooter wasn't in the parking spot. 'Probably walked…' She deducted, but wouldn't Ron have got a ride with Kim, knowing how close they were? Or did something happen while she was away? One thing was for certain, she needed to ask about what went on so, but she was left with only two choices: Tara could be a bit of an airhead sometimes, and she knew that Bonnie wouldn't care less about their relationship. Survey says: Talk to Tara. At least she knew that she wouldn't be biased, unlike Bonnie. Yes, she could be a bitch. Scratch that, she is the head bitch, but Bonnie was still Hope's friend.
As she walked though the door, Hope searched around for the platinum blonde girl. She did see Tara's small green car in the parking lot when she got here, so she knew she was here. Now the matter was to find her. However, Hope search would not be very long as the girl in question walked over and gave her a hug.
"Hope, hi! How are you? How was your trip?" She asked as, after a few moments, she let go. Throughout the years she had known her, Hope knew that Tara could become a bit overemotional at times. But that was just one of the things that made her…well…Tara.
"Yeah, Tokyo was great!" She said with a sigh. "Had some sushi, but I just couldn't get enough of those Pocky sticks!"
"Awesome! So you had a good time?"
Hope sighed. "I had a wonderful time! So wonderful that I'm pissed that I have to come all the way back to Middleton just take these damn finals!" She admitted. "And there was one incident at the airport where some creep stole my purse."
Tara gasped, "Ohmygod…What happened? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She explained. "All that was in there were just my credit card that I could cancel and get money back and a few of my…personal items. The creep didn't even know what he was doing and probably just did it out of principal. He thought I was a just a poor defenseless gaijin. Go figure."
"Did you get your purse back?"
"Yeah, apparently some passenger who just got off from a flight from here stopped him. As much as it wouldn't have been a loss to me, I didn't feel like canceling credit cards and wait for like a month to get a new one so I wanted to think him for saving me from that. I took the small amount of time to look for him before I had to go my flight with my parents. I did find one person that sorta looked like him, but something was way off." Hope paused for a second. "Now that I think about it, from the cops' description, the guy closely had a resemblance to Ron Stoppable. Speaking of whom, did something happen between him and Kim while I've been gone? I just saw Kim drive up in a corvette with Josh Mankey. She was also dressed differently than usual! I mean, since when did Kim wear stilettos, let alone have enough money to buy a car like that?"
"…Haven't you heard?" Tara asked as what Hope had told her about the airport began to come to her. 'Wasn't Ron heading out to Japan?'
"Heard about what?"
Tara sighed, "…Kim and Ron, aren't friends anymore." She simply said.
Hope's eyes went wide at this realization. "Since when?" Out of all the people in school, what some had came to call but wouldn't admit to it, "The greatest friendship of all time" was the last relationship she, or anyone else for that matter would expect to be broken.
"Let's just say that a few days ago, from what Felix has told me, that from what Ron found out about what Kim did to him, he had enough. For him, that was the final straw!" A hint of anger was present in Tara's tone of voice before it went down into sadness. "And now he's gone…gone forever…"
"I'll bet Bonnie'll have a field day with this…" Hope sighed. 'Probably have a celebration since 'the loser' is finally gone.' She thought to herself bitterly. "Just what exactly did Kim do to him?"
"I'm not so sure since I haven't asked Felix or Bonnie, but it has something to do with Ron's old restaurant." Tara explained.
Hope raised an eyebrow, "Bonnie? Why would she care about Ron? Never mind…this doesn't explain the new wardrobe and the new car." She then reminded.
"About that, let's just say that Kim now wants to be paid for her services." Tara said. "I bet the car was from one of her numerous old favors. And as for those Stiletto boots she's wearing? Probably got them from her new paying gig."
Hope let out a small chuckle, "I bet Bonnie's outraged about this. Out-staged by Kim once again… Speaking of Queenie, where is she anyway?"
"She hasn't got here yet. She should be walking in at any minute now." Tara finally decided to take a look at Hope. Instead of the simple short pink dress she usually wore, she was wearing navy jacket over what looked to be a white lace corset with matching neckband, a red Alcoquin pleated skirt, and black, wedge-heeled boots. "That's a nice new outfit you're wearing. Is that what you brought in Japan?"
"Yeah. I have a few more that I brought at home. Wanna come over later?"
"Sure! I'll bet Bonnie'll want to see them, too!" Tara smiled at the raven-haired beauty before the sound of metal repeatedly banging on metal was heard. The school bell indicated that it was time to class. "Catch ya at gym class?" She asked as they began to walk together.
"Sure!" Hope smiled as the two girls, after coming up to a fork in the hallway, then proceeded to head their separate ways to their respected classes. However, if they would have look behind them, they would've seen a certain brunette cheerleader walk in with a certain wheelchair-bounded boy.
"I understand how you feel, but don't you think that we were cutting it close?" Felix asked as they walked – or in his case rolled – through the nearly empty halls.
"I know that it was a bit risqué, but I just can't handle it, you know?" Bonnie replied. As much as she didn't want to lose Felix, she did feel a bit nervous about seeing seen in public with someone who wasn't exactly on top of the food chain. Especially when the last thing she wanted was for him to have to deal with Brick Flagg: Her off again/on again boyfriend. Yes, she's often said that she never wanted to see "that big oaf" ever again every time they broke up, but hey, this is high school after all! "Besides, we got here on time didn't we? It's not like we were late."
"Okay, well I need to get to English."
"And I need to get to Photography." Bonnie nodded before apologizing. "Sorry if I ignore you today…"
"I know…your image…" Felix nodded. He already knew that, despite her deep down being a sweet, caring soul, she had to keep up appearances. But still, he couldn't help but hope that she'd be less superficial and show everyone her more sensitive side. The side he had come to know in the past few days. "In due time…" He said to himself. After all, nobody could pull a 180 from being a bitch, let alone the head bitch overnight. All Bonnie needed was time to realize that the superficial path she had set for her wasn't worth the trouble at all. And the fact that popularity wasn't everything…
After SchoolCheer practice for the afternoon went business as usual for the most part. However, there were some noticeable differences. For one, the Middleton Mad Dog, the school mascot, was obviously absent with Ron's departure. Most of the other members of the squad had mixed emotions. While he wasn't that bad to be around and they somewhat missed him, they were glad not to have slobber all over them from the routine, even if it was just banana cream. Also, three of the members in particular were acting differently, and Hope took notice. For one thing, the last thing Kim wanted to hear was Ron's name. As far as she was concerned he didn't exist. And as for Bonnie and Tara, Hope noticed that Tara periodically glared daggers at Kim while Bonnie's usual comments towards the redhead were filled with even more venom. The one thing they had in common, Hope concluded, was that they all had something to do with Ron's departure or more accurately, what caused his departure…
Hope had already begun to change out from her uniform back into her regular clothes, having put back on the corset and the skirt as she looked toward her brunette friend, who was still in her uniform. Everyone else had already left, even Tara, who had to go home due to an emergency. An emergency that required a short-notice babysitter! Leaving her and Bonnie alone.
The raven-haired girl saw that her friend had a sour look on her face. Not just the usual resentment and jealousy in her face, but also anger. "Is there something wrong, Bonnie? What did Kim do this time?" She asked. It was a routine that has come to develop since their freshman year. After every practice, Bonnie had a sourpuss look on her face, Hope asked what was wrong, and for the following 10-30 minutes Bonnie would bitch about Kim Possible, even bringing up the most trivial things about her.
"Did you see what she was wearing?" The brunette began her anti-Kim tirade.
"Yeah…it's more of combination of her regular outfits, but the boots are new." Hope reminded. Speaking of boots, she pulled out her new ones from her locker and slid her bare feet inside of them, before zipping them up. The only downside for her wearing them, since she usually wore flats, was the added weight, not to mention some discomfort. But at least they weren't a health hazard like other shoes she's worn...
"Since when could she afford-Oh wait, she had to go Hero-for-hire! And that's not with her new boots! You saw her new car, right?"
"Yeah! You have to admit it does look nice." Hope reminded as Bonnie opened up her locker to take out her pink tank top.
"Yeah… too bad I can't be a team hero and be able to cash in favors for something like that."
Hope sighed as she went to change the topic. "You wouldn't happen to know what happened to Stoppable, would you?" She asked, with a small hint of accusation in her voice. She had hoped to change the topic from Kim, but after she had remembered what Tara told her earlier, she regretted those words, now knowing that she just somewhat made it worse.
"He left for Japan!" She said bitterly as she pulled out the rest of her clothes before she began to change out of her uniform. "Thanks to Miss Perfect Ron's gone, and he's never coming back!" She said as Hope raised an eyebrow.
'Since when did Bonnie call him by name?' She asked herself as she saw Bonnie slide on her red skirt, now changing into her everyday clothes. "What happened between them?"
"Long story short: Ron loved Kim so much that he stood by her, not even caring about what happened to him most of the time! Every time he had something special, he threw it all away, just so she could smile! Otherwise, she'd mess it up for him! She claimed him to be her best friend, but she fucking treats him like he's some obsolete toy when a better one comes along, but comes back to it when the new model wasn't as all that she thought it was! Add the fact that Kim now gets paid for her services and starts wearing more expensive clothes after he's gone? It's like Kim Possible did a complete 180 overnight! I was right about Kim all along: She goes around acting like she's Miss Perfect Little Goody Two Shoes, but actually she's the biggest fan of her own hype! And now she drove her so-called best friend away." She said as she tied the laces to her white sneakers. "And people call me shallow?"
Hope placed on her jacket as she took in everything Bonnie has just said. It was a bit true, after all. She had seen Kim leave Ron whenever Josh Mankey came by. Also, she remembered when nobody liked Ron's Mad Dog routine. Hell, even Kim hated it! But she did come around. As she tried to process what she just heard, emotions flowed within her. A mixture of anger and betrayal filled her. Those emotions more or less had a control on her now. In fact they'd controlled her so much she didn't notice what just happened until she felt the knuckles of her left fist forcibly connect to Bonnie's jaw.
"YOU, BONNIE ROCKWALLER, ARE THE BIGGEST SELF-OBSESSED, HYPOCRITICAL BITCH THAT I HAVE EVER MET!" Hope screamed at the knocked down brunette who was confused by the anger the ebony-haired girl now had for her.
Ouch… who'd see that coming? Anyways, this chapter reminded me how easy it is to use minor characters. Especially since it gives the author much freedom to do just about whatever they could with them. And that's more than just giving them last names. Anyways, I'm now thinking about a Ron/Hope paring. It wasn't exactly intended, but it still stays in the realm of not being seen, or at least very often. Anyways, just leave your reviews.
