Y'know what, I've decided. I'm just going to ditch my original plan of Ron being paired up with someone new and keep going with what I have. I might try again at another story. As for the person I was going to pair him up with? I'm not going to say, but if someone happens to beat me to it, then so be it. I'm already having a good thing going and to just write out the two possible relationships he already has just for the sake of my original plan would be cheap.

The Metal One – Expect her to realize even more about what she's done in this chapter, as well as how much of a success she was with Ron.

GargoyleSama – Good theory! However, not everyone learns their lesson quickly, if at all.

Charles Gray - Right now, Kim's looking to be headed on a dark path. I'm not going to say if she'll get out of it or not, otherwise I might spoil a few things. And as for Global Justice having that much authority. Global Justice is an international organization, focusing around the world 24-7. And besides, since Kim favors have turned into cash, more or less, I doubt that they'd pick a teen hero who comes with a price over an international justice force that works for free.

Zaratan – For one, I don't even watch Stargate. As for Kimmie punishment, it continues this chapter.

BuckNC – As I stated before, I'm just going to stick with the apparent Tara/Ron/Yori love triangle.

SuperFreak, demon-sword, drakwolfstoppable – Kim has a bit of a superiority issue which means that whatever happens between them is never her fault but Ron's. She needed Ron for her mission, but he wasn't there because of what she did to him. Regardless, Ron should've showed up anyway like he always did, and got over it.

DarkJackel – Funny you should mention vendetta being build…

campy – The hole Kim digs can only get deeper at this point…

Mobius97 – Just check out this chapter.

captainkodak1 – Rage could fuel someone into doing things that are out of the ordinary and irrational. For example, if pushed, an intelligent man could go crazy. As for Kim's eyes being opened. Hopefully it's soon, otherwise I predict a dark future for her…

Texan Ranger – Don't expect a Kim/Drakken team up anytime soon. As for Ron making his appearance. Don't expect him to go back to Middleton anytime soon.

BrianDarksoul – Expect some Ron/Shego interaction in the upcoming chapters. Maybe sooner than you think.

Chapter 14: Worst Week Ever!

As the buzzing sound of the white alarm could be heard, Kim groggily got herself out from her bed. That had to be a dream, she asked herself. That had to be a dream, right? None of this had actually happened, Kim still had a chance to become a member of Global Justice. Ron was still in Middleton, always having her back without question. Bonnie was still herself, but without Felix to defend her, and was still with Brick. And most of all, the hospital in Denver, the same hospital that was to be named after her, was still standing and was now ready to be opened. That had to be it! It was just a dream! No, just a nightmare! A nightmare that was thankfully over!

As she quickly went into her bathroom, she quickly fixed her hair, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. In her mind, she wondered why she was so quick to get ready, but another part told her why: It was today was they day that she and Josh would go to dinner. To celebrate their 2-month anniversary since they began to date.

Back in her room, Kim went into her closet to see what was the perfect outfit to wear. She saw a nice pair of jeans with a rose printed on the pant leg, as well as a matching red strapless top. However, she looked down as she saw a pair of white stiletto boots. She began to blink, she didn't remember having a pair of those. But she shrugged it off. She probably had borrowed them from Monique. Well, since she had them, she might as well put them on, right?

After putting on said articles of clothing, Kim looked at herself in the mirror as she played with her hair. Should she put her hair up in a ponytail? Or should she put it in pigtails? Her decision was cut by the sound of a loud voice from downstairs.

"KIMBERLY ANNE POSSIBLE!"

Within quick haste, Kim ran out from her room as she rushed down the stairs, wondering what in the world could possibly have her father upset? As soon as she made it downstairs, Kim's eyes went wide as she saw the newspaper her father was reading. It had the headline on the front page, "Teen Hero Destroys Hospital! A Possible mistake brings down new hospital on the night of its Grand Opening."

"Oh no…" Kim was in shock. She didn't even bothered to tell her parents about that debacle of a mission yesterday as when she immediately got home, she cried herself to sleep as she ended up sleeping in her mission clothes, which at this point she just realized. Needless to say, this was not a dream. Ron wasn't in Middleton, Bonnie was suspended from school and kicked off the cheerleading team. Felix has sided with Bonnie. And worse of all, Kim lost any chance of her joining Global Justice.

"Would you mind explaining this?" Her father asked. No, demanded! His eyes were in a glare, and so were her mother's. They wanted answers, and one way or another they were going to get them.

"The building that was destroyed. That wouldn't have been the new hospital opening up, would it?" She asked with a nervous chuckle.

"As a matter of fact, it was!" James said sternly as Kim gasped. The weight of her recklessness had now fully reached her. Not only did she manage to destroy a priceless artifact, but she ended up destroying her own hospital.

"It was shown on the 11 O'clock news last night!" Her mother, Anne explained. She wasn't that angry, but she wasn't that pleased with her either. "What happened last night that caused that to happen?"

"I tried to recover an artifact! Things went wrong and some Disintegration Ray fired in Drakken's lair."

"Well that Disintegration Ray destroyed the hospital!" James said sternly. "How did that happen in the first place?"

"I was being overwhelmed with Drakken's new Synthodrones and Shego so I took a risk. I used my Grapple Gun to get the Eye of Ra to retrieve it, so I could leave quickly and get to Denver. I was too far away and I ended up hitting the button that fired the beam." Kim sighed. "And then, I didn't even use the right hook for it!"

"What other hook did you use?"

"I might have been too confused to realized it, but instead of my Grappling Hook, I used my Harpoon instead. When I went for the second time, I hit the jewel."

"So you retrieved it, Kimmie?" Anne asked.

"No, seriously! I really hit the jewel! As in shattering it and causing an explosion!" Kim explained.

"Kimberly Anne…"

"What were you thinking?" James scolded. "Didn't you realize how dangerous it was?"

"I'm already feeling bad enough without you two adding on to it!" Kim snapped.

"Young lady that tone has 'grounded' written all over it." Anne informed as Kim blinked.

"Sorry… it's just…" Kim sighed. "How could this have happened? I'm usually so graceful, so accurate, so…" She shook her head. "I'm just gonna head out to school!"

"But Kim, you haven't had a balanced brea-"

"I don't care, Mom. I have more important things to worry about!" Kim said as she grabbed her bag and keys before heading out to her car. Ready to just get through this day.

Middleton High School (Exam Week, Starts Next Week)

Kim entered the hallways, trying to keep up appearances as a cheerful, happy girl. She did not notice a few students avoiding her while others whispered to each other, pointing towards her. However, she wouldn't have to when she felt a hand grab her arm as before she knew it, she was pulled all the way into the room just about nobody goes into the Janitor's closet.

"Mind telling me what's going on?" The owner of the hand that grabbed her as Kim turned around and saw the only friend she had left besides Josh.

"Monique, what are you-"

"Don't play dumb with me, girl! You know exactly what's going on so you might as well spill." Kim looked into her dark eyes that glared at her. "Otherwise, I won't be there to save your ass from humiliation nation!"

"Look, it was just an accident." Kim explained. "I just made a mistake, alright! We all make mistakes!"

"I'm not talking about your little fiasco yesterday, Kim!" Monique crossed her arms.

"Look, if this is about Bonnie, I don't know what lies Tara and Felix must've filled your head with."

"I wasn't even going to mention that, but since you did, why would Tara and Felix lie, especially when it comes to Bonnie of all people?"

"Felix betrayed me because he's all of a sudden obsessed with her, and we all know how much of a lapdog Tara is to her. And Bonnie attacked me, not once, but TWICE! So I did what I had to do to ensure my safety and the Squad's. I had Bonnie kicked off. Jesus, Monique, she's been like an animal, lately! Talk about desperate…"

"Not buying, Kim. Girl, if Bonnie wanted to attack you for no reason, she'd done it a long time ago. But that's the issue here."

"Then what is?" Kim asked, beginning to get heavily annoyed. "Tell me Monique, what's so important that you've dragged me into the freakin' Janitor's closet? What's this talk about me being in humiliation nation?"

"That's the least of your worries right now, girl! So you best spill!"

'What does she mean?' Kim wondered. Did had something to do with what happened last night? Or did Tara and Felix really did managed to make Bonnie look like the victim in all of this? There isn't any other explanation she could think of that would make Monique this angry.

"Girl, I'm talking about Ron, girl! About what you did to make him leave Middleton!"

'Is this what it's all about?' Kim scoffed, not believing that her anger is focused on what happened to Ron of all people. "That jerk saw some obviously edited footage that was made out to be that I lied to him, that I sabotaged him! Thus we got into a huge fight, he said a lot of hurtful things to me and then left Middleton! He basically threw away a lifetime of friendship, all over his pathetic pride of being right!"

Monique just shook her head and continued her glare. "No Kim, I'm not buying. Ron's not the kind of guy who'd just leave you because of something that trivial. Girl you best better tell me the truth, or else I won't help you. And I don't think anyone else would either, let alone want to after hearing what they've just heard, or rather seeing what they just saw." She stated harshly.

Kim blinked. "S-saw?"

"Girl, be glad that I'm giving you the BOTD right now, otherwise you'd be on the floor right now."

"BOTD?"

"Benefit Of The Doubt. You might have felt on top of the world lately, but you best spill the truth right now or it's going to be very lonely at the top!" Monique demanded as Kim sighed. What was she going to tell her? If she told them that she was the reason why Chez Ron shut down, she'd be blacklisted for sure. She could just keep to the same story as she told Wade. There wasn't anyway anyone could've seen the tape. The only ones who had that footage were Drakken and Shego. And she didn't know, or care for that matter where Ron was. Especially after yesterday!

"Oh, and Kim? Don't even try to lie to me because I can tell if you are or not! Otherwise I'll drop you on your ass right now!"

Hearing that threat, Kim wanted to attack Monique for that comment. Did she seriously think that she posed as a physical threat to her? But then she also knew that besides Josh, Monique was the only friend she had left and if the worst were true, she would need all the friends she could get. It was then when Kim decided that it was best to tell her the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth!

"Okay…" Kim sighed, knowing that this wasn't going to be easy. "You know that Ron had a restaurant at school, right?"

"I've heard about it. Heard that his cooking skills were first class! So what does this have to do with the video?"

"His restaurant was shortly closed down." Kim continued, "It was because they saw Rufus serving the food. But how did they know that there was a health problem in the first place? Let's just say that somebody called them down…"

"That's a good question, but who made tha-" Monique stopped as she began to put two and two together. She shook her head in disbelief, "Oh hell no…" She said, rage slowly rising into her voice. "Tell me you're lyin' Kim! Tell me that you didn't do what I think you did!"

"…It's true, Monique…" Kim said, looking down. "I did it, I'm the one who made the call…"

"Why Kim? How could you do that to someone who was supposed to be your best friend?"

"I did it for his own good, Monique!" Kim declared. "You know how out of control Ron gets when he becomes popular! Do your remember when he got that money?"

"That was then, Kim! Did he even show the slightest amount of that when he started his restaurant?"

"No, but who's to say that he wouldn't!" Kim said harshly. "I think that I knew my best friend better than anyone, thank you very much!" The nerve of her! Monique had only known Ron for about a few years, while Kim on the other hand had known him for practically her own life. She'd think that she'd know what would be best for him better than she did. So what if he lost his popularity as fast as he got it. And besides, it's not like Monique did anything to help Ron be popular, either. 'Wait a minute… She didn't even try to help Ron when he needed it.'

"That's no excuse, Kim! Maybe then if he showed a little bit of that, you could maybe talk to him, but yet you didn't! You just had to make sure that it came crashing down!"

"Hold on Monique! You could've helped Ron, too! But you didn't! So don't try to make me out to be the bad guy in this while you, and just about everyone else in this school, wasn't any better than I was!"

"But you were his best friend, Kim! You could've at least helped him out instead of just worrying about yourself, wondering if Josh Mankey is going to say hi to you or not! Basically since I met you, you've always chose Josh, a guy who you thought cheated on you, over Ron, a guy who's always been there for you when you needed him!"

"Well he sure as hell wasn't there for me then! He was excelling in Home Ec while I was struggling with a blender in class! He left me behind!" Kim snapped. "And it's not like you're any better. Yeah, Ron might've been your friend, but he was a loser! I knew it, you knew it, and everyone knew it! And nobody sure as hell wanted to lower their status by going through hell and high water just to help a loser! I mean, wouldn't you rather kept you place on the Social Hierarchy instead falling down with that loser?"

A silence drifted between the two as Monique thought of an answer for Kim's question. 'Hah! I knew that'd work.' Kim smirked to herself. She was expecting Monique to back down and give up, and say. "You were right Kim. It was for his own good. You knew what was best for him." She was expecting Monique to do anything other than what she just did. She didn't even realized what Monique had done until she was flat on her back on the floor as she imagined the left side of her face having a boot print. Monique had floored her with akick to the face!

"He may not exactly have been the most popular person in school, but Ron was my friend!" She shouted at the downed girl. "Maybe I should've helped him out, but I had expected that his best friend would at least try to help him from being a lost cause to a potential hottie! But no, you didn't! It's all making sense now, Kim! Everyone thought that Ron was a loser, and you know what? Not only do I now believe that you also felt the same way about him, but I believe that you liked him that way! You liked the fact that he was a loser! You said that Ron had no chance of going out with you, yet if someone else showed any interest, you automatically believe that they're just using him! That was your perfect excuse to defend your territory, even when you were going out with Josh! Then if Ron got any amount of popularity, it's going over his head! Popularity isn't his thing! But is it because being popular just wasn't for Ron? Or is it because he did it without your help? You're a real piece of work Kim you know that? Over the years, you've groomed him to be what you wanted him to be! You wanted him to be 'the loser without any hope in the world' so that at any chance that he does become great, it won't be because of himself, but it'll be because of you! So he'll continue owing you 'favors' for the rest of his life! Continuing to stroke that little ego of yours! And you feared that Ron was developing an ego?" Monique scoffed, "Please Girl, his wouldn't be anything compared to yours right now! You are SFOY – So Full Of Yourself!"

And with that, Monique walked out of the janitor's closet, angry with the person who, as of right now, wasn't sure if she wanted to remain her friend or not. Leaving Kim alone to rub the place on her face that was sore from the kick. A wave a guilt all of a sudden began to come crashing down on the redhead as she sat up under the floor. Slowly, Kim had come to realize that what she's done was wrong, especially to her best friend. But then again, Kim was never the one to admit that she was wrong, let alone this easily…

"I did it for his own good. I did what was best for him…" She said, but not to Monique, or anyone in particular. "I did what was best for him…" She said again, in the most convincing way possible, but even that was becoming hard for her to do. "I did… what was best… for him… I… did… what… was… best… for… him…" Within each time she continued to say those words, they slowly began to become harder for her to say, let alone in a convincing matter as soon, all that was left was her own guilt. The same guilt that had the realization of what caused a once priceless friendship to be destroyed in the first place as she then finally admitted. "I did… what was best… for me."

Back in the Hallway

Kim finally came out from the Janitor's Closet as she saw their faces. The students either had a face of hate, pity, resentment, two out of three, or all three of them. But she ignored them. She wasn't going let them ruined her day! All she had to do was to find Josh and her world would be perfect. She didn't need anyone, honestly. She didn't need Ron, Felix, Monique, or anyone else for that matter. All she needed was Josh in her life. No one more, no one less. As she made it to her locker, she proceeded to undo the combination before opening the door. It was then she was met with a familiar voice, let alone an unwanted one.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen…"

Kim's eyes narrowed as she didn't' even bother to turn around. "Aren't you supposed to be off of school grounds?" She asked icily. "Or have you become so much of a ditz that you thought Summer School was early."

Bonnie just leaned back on the lockers, just wearing a pair of black cargo shorts, yellow midriff and black sneakers as she continued, "Barkin did say that I had till today to turn in my uniform. But I decided to just stick around see the great Kim Possible, knocked off of her pedestal!" Instead of the usual venom in her voice when she usually taunted Kim, her voice was just cold, but filled with retribution. "I've been so waiting for this day for a long time to see you fall! To get exactly what you deserve! It's been a good two days for me! Yeah, I'm grounded for getting kicked out of school, but your infamy makes up for it. First, you blew it and cause the destruction of your own Hospital! Way to go, Kim! Did anyone get hurt? And now everyone knows the truth about what you did to Ron, and how you tried to set me up to take the fall! Don't believe me, Kim? Just go to the AV room. It's all on tape! But it will take a while. After all, the crowd's pretty big."

Kim's mouth was open. How could there be a tape of what she did? Only Drakken and Shego had the footage. "But… There's no way! It's impossible!"

"To quote a certain black-listed cheerleader: Anything is Possible for a Possible. I guess that includes getting found out!"

"But how did you even get that tape?"

"Let's just say that an old friend gave Felix something that he'd be interested in seeing!" The brunette smirked. "I think you know him!"

"What old friend?" Kim asked as she slammed the door shut.

"Let's just say that when this is over, you'll know exactly what the sitch is, Kim!" Bonnie flipped her hair back. "Oh, and another thing: Right now, I'm no longer the head bitch at the school. That honor is yours now. And honestly, you can keep it. Two days ago, I realized that I had some good things going for me right now, things that I haven't realized in a long time. Something in which you're in horribly short supply on."

"Like what?"

"Friends, you self-centered twit! Let's compared to how many friends we have? You? Let's see… there's Ron…wait, you drove him away! There's Tara… nope she's mine. Hope? My friend too! Felix? Sorry, he's my boyfriend. Not to mention that you're not exactly the squad's favorite person right now. And Monique?" Bonnie sighed, "I don't like to be the one who starts rumors."

Kim scoffed, "Like hell you don't!"

"But I saw her leaving the Janitor's closet angry for some reason. You wouldn't happen to know why, would you Kim?" Bonnie asked innocently. "Thought so. But seriously, isn't it ironic, Kim? That all of this time you billed yourself to be the 'girl that can do anything!' But now that I look at you, I guess you really are! You can do anything, even go from being popular to a total loser in about 20 minutes." Bonnie's voice then turned serious, "So why did you do it Kim? Why did you basically screw your so-called best friend over? Was it because you were scared? Was it because of the fact that your sidekick could do the one thing that the 'girl who can do anything' couldn't? Or was it because you were afraid that you wouldn't be the only one to see Ron as someone other than a 'loser' and you would have to share your precious sidekick."

"Like you're any better!" Kim retorted. "You were the main person who drove him away in the first place. Don't think I don't remember what you've said about him! Especially to his face!"

"I do remember, and I remember how I treated everyone else just because they weren't at the top! And now I realized that my suspension and my resignation from the squad is my punishment for what I've done, Kim! So yeah, I was a bitch. Hell, I was the head bitch at the school, but at least I wouldn't sabotage anyone's success, even if they were my worst enemy! Now I've realized the error of my ways, while you continue to just believe in your own hype! I remember when I got caught up in one of your missions, because of those Bebe thingies. Do you remember them? How they were so full of themselves and think that they're perfect? Well, you're just about near that level, Kim."

Bonnie shook her head, "Y'know Kim, I knew all along that you weren't so perfect. While everyone else believed that everything you did was an act out of kindness, I knew that there was an ulterior motive. I mean you had Ron, of all people, as your best friend. I always wondered why you hung out with him when you were total opposites. But looking at it now, it did make perfect sense. 'Losers' make the perfect best friend, as they're ready and willing to drop everything just to make you happy while you don't have to do the same! Seeing as you're the only thing those poor souls have. And now that he's gone, you've showed your true colors. You showed what kind of person you really are. And quite frankly, not the kind of person I'd want to be around with. And I feel everyone else feels the same way."

Kim turned around to see her brunette adversary with asmile, "Well at least my whole family loves me for who I am, instead of seeing me as some failure!" She retorted back. On the outside, she was angry but on the inside she was smirking. 'That'll shut her up.' If she was lucky, that below-the-belt comment could provoke her into hitting her again. Then she'll really press charges. And with this being a third time, Bonnie would get into serious trouble.

Bonnie, however, just shook her head. "Sure, my sisters see me as some 'loser,' and my parents wished that I was a bit more like them, but I rather have that burden than to be known as the girl who destroyed a children's hospital that was going to be named after her. I guess the idea of a 'Kimberly Anne Possible Children's Hospital' has now been broken down into rubble – Literally!" She then sensed a bit of rage coming from the redhead. "As much as I would like to beat you down, again, I don't want to get my hands dirty, let alone blood all over my outfit. Besides, I'm already feeling better knowing what kind of trouble you're about to be in."

"Me? Get into trouble?" Kim scoffed, "Nonono… If anyone's getting into trouble, it's you, Bon-Bon! After all, you're not supposed to even be here!" She reminded with a satisfying smirk on her face.

"And I believe that I'm not going to be the only one suspended, and I'm not talking about Brick or his friends, either. That reminds me, good job distracting Barkin from stopping them when they beat down Felix. You just proved my point of how much bigger of a bitch you are than I ever was. But anyway, what you did to Ron was low enough without trying to have me take the fall. Don't be too shocked Kim, did you really believe that you could get away with that? Last year I wondered why my cell phone was higher than usual a few months ago. You basically break into my locker and steal my cell phone to make the call, and for what? Just to put the heat of your betrayal on to your worst enemy?" Bonnie snickered at the Teen Hero, "But now, not only did it backfire on you, but I'm not going to be alone on the list of people who are off the squad. Let's see what you've already done, K? How you broke into my locker is considered vandalizing school property, not to mention breaking into another student's locker. And then there's stealing another student's belongings?" She shook her head. "My Kim, with all of this being bought out in the open, there's only one question to be asked."

Bonnie let out a sigh as she ran her manicured hand through her hair. "What would your parents think?"

That question was enough to make the face of her adversary as red as her hair as Kim unleashed her fury on Bonnie with a punch. Unfortunately for the soon-to-be disgraced Teen Hero, Bonnie evaded the blow, leaving her to pound onto a locker.

"As much as I would love to stay here and chat, I have to go to my locker and get my uniform to return. Later Kim!" She said in a cheery voice as she proceeded to leave, leaving Kim to fume over what has just happened, accompanied by more than a few snickers.

"She's in a cheery mood!"

"Yeah, talk about an attitude problem!"

"No wonder Stoppable ditched her!"

The last comment only made Kim even angrier. "HE DID NOT DITCH ME, I DITCHED HIM!" She screamed before she stormed off in a huff. Leaving the other students to just comment.

"Somebody needs an attitude adjustment."

"Didn't think she'd be this crazy!"

"First she destroys her own hospital, now she's revealed to be the one who tried to have her best friend's restaurant closed down. I'd be crazy too if all of this happened to me."

"I guess Ron Stoppable really was the reason why Kim was as successful as she was."

Yamanouchi

"Nine hundred ninety eight…" Ron groaned as he pushed himself up from the floor as he stood on his hands upside down. Mystical Monkey Power or not, he was growing to be very tired from this exercise, let alone since it was nearly midnight. However, Ron knew that he couldn't stop now, as he continued his exercise. "Nine hundred ninety nine… One thousand!"

"You may stop now, Stoppable-San." Sensei informed him, which was mercy to his ears as Ron collapsed onto the ground. His eyes lids now feeling like a ton… "You have done well Stoppable-San." Sensei congratulated.

"Thank you, Sensei." Ron said, taking in a few breaths.

"I must ask you, how are you feeling right now?"

"Right now? Tired… A nice bed would be nice right now…" Ron was this close to just falling asleep on the granite floor. Yet, somehow he stayed away.

Sensei shook his head. "No Stoppable-San. I mean how are you feeling, besides the fatigue from this exercise."

"Honestly… I feel angry." Ron admitted. "I feel… like I failed." He sighed.

"You're thinking about what happened between Fukushima and Yori?"

Ron pounded the ground with his fist. "I should've been there! I should've been able to help her! But no, I just had to call home!"

"Young one, it is not your fault!" Sensei informed him. "It is impossible to always be at the right place at the right time."

"I understand that, but…" Ron looked up in the midnight sky, stars shining brightly. 'I'm supposed to be this monkey master, and yet I can't even protect the people I love…"

Sensei sighed, "You care a lot about her, do you?"

Good question. While it was true that Ron cared about her, but how much was the question. True, he did like her a lot. Yori was just about the only girl who actually cared about him, not because of his status, but for what kind of person he was. Also when he found out that Yori was captured when she went to retrieve the Lotus Blade, a mission he had already declined, Ron went after her. And now, after what has happened to her, thanks to Fukushima. It wasn't the first time he had heard about a girl getting rape, as he read and heard about it in newspapers and news reports, particularly those that took place in the dorms of Upperton University.

Yori wasn't too shabby on the looks department, either. In fact, she was very beautiful. On the first day they met, he saw fireworks when he saw her. But now, he felt an amount of devotion to her. That he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. But what was stopping him? What was stopping him from admitting his feelings for her?

As coincidentally that question was asked, his thoughts went to Tara. She was pretty, of course. But he said basically the same thing about every cheerleader. Hope, Liz, Marcella, even Kim and Bonnie! Unlike the majority of them, her personality was the best of them. True, she wasn't exactly friendly to him at first. But then again, hardly anyone was. But after the first Wannaweep incident, she started to turn around. Maybe that was when she had that crush on him. But that soon went away after Kim and Josh broke up, and he and Tara became a couple. But was it too much for ask for someone to at least dropped him a line that someone actually had a crush on him? Was it too much of a burden to let him know that someone wouldn't mind dating someone like him? But it doesn't matter, now. She probably had a crush on him after Josh and Kim got back together, but he had to just fuck it up by leaving, even if Kim's betrayal did hurt him that much, he just wanted to be as far away from her as possible. Even if he jumped on the next plane back to Middleton, it wouldn't be any use now, as Tara, like before, is more than likely to move on. This time, it wasn't because of him being on a last-to-know basis. But it was because of his stubbornness. The damage is done, he had basically destroyed any chance of him and Tara being together. It was then he gave Sensei his answer.

"Of course. I mean, the reason why she got captured by Monkey Fist in the first place was because I wussed out. And now this?" Ron sighed. "I really care about her a lot, and I don't want to see anything else happen to her. And then, there's Fukushima… Part of me wants to hunt him down and kill him like the sick demented bastard that he is. But another side of me knows that not only will it not erase what happened to Yori, but it'll make me just as bad, if not worse, than Fukushima."

"Stoppable-San, there are times that we all are tempted by the path of darkness. There will be times when you will be intrigued by the path of darkness. You must always overcome this temptation and stay true to you heart. Your emotions, if uncontrolled, can lead to a life of darkness and despair."

Ron nodded in agreement. Sensei had a point. He was then reminded of what he learned from the Star Wars movies about how one could come to the Dark Side. It all started with fear. Fear led to anger. Anger led to hate. And hate led to suffering. Right now, Ron was almost already fulfilling these requirements. He feared that he couldn't protect everyone he loved, that he'd always be a loser. His anger right now was over what Fukushima did to Yori. And his hate, of course, was for Fukushima. And in truth, it scared him, a lot. He truly had no idea what would happen if… no…when he would encounter Fukushima. Hell, he had no idea what would happen when Yori would encounter him. He knew one thing that was for sure…

It wasn't going to be pretty. Not by a long shot.

Possible Residence

It had been a long day. A very long day! And Kim Possible couldn't understand it at all. How, in two days, did she go form World Famous Teen Hero to World Infamous Teen Hero? And that wasn't even mentioning about school! Yesterday, she was super popular, having a mega-hottie boyfriend, and dressed in the clothes every girl dreamed they even borrowed from friend, and drove in the car mostly everyone would give their right lung for. She was the girl every girl wanted to be, and the girl every guy wanted. Today? Her secret, the one thing that drove Ron out of Middleton, was revealed today. Monique had turned against her! Kim then getting suspended and kicked off the cheer squad for breaking into another student's locker as well as vandalizing school property by tampering with said locker. The only bright side was unlike Bonnie, she wouldn't have to go to summer school as she exempt all of her exams, being as perfect as she was. But that didn't cut down on the humiliation she had to go through with the squad…

Earlier Today in the School Gym

Kim was ready to go and was not looking to waste anymore time on the "Chez Ron" issue. Already dressed in her cheerleading uniform, Kim was pumped up for today's practice.

"Okay team, let's get the tape cued up and start-" Kim was interrupted by a group of glares at her direction. "Practicing?"

The Middleton High Cheer Squad were glaring at her. Hope, Tara, Liz, Marcella, all of them were not happy to see their captain. Kim felt like all of them were glaring daggers.

"Umm…guys? What's wrong?" Kim asked, concern showing in her voice. "Should we be practicing?"

"'We' aren't doing anything, Kim!" Marcella said coldly.

"What's your problem, Marcella?" Kim asked, a bit angry at the Hispanic girl's attitude. "That's no way to speak to your captain."

"Exactly. You're no longer squad captain, Kim!" Hope added.

"What? You're kidding me?"

"We're serious, Kim!" Tara glared. "We took a vote."

"And it was unanimous." Hope added.

"What was unanimous? That you voted me off as squad captain?" Kim scoffed.

"Not only that, but you're off the squad!" Liz added, flipping her blonde hair a bit.

"Please, who's going to be the captain? Bonnie?"

"Bonnie's no longer a member of the squad, remember?" Tara reminded.

"Than who?" She snorted at the blonde, "You?"

Tara shook her head. "No… While I'd love to be squad captain, it's just not for me…" She admitted, before her tone of voice went cold. "And it's not because I'm just some blonde bimbo!" She made sure to add as much emphasis to "bimbo" as possible to Kim. "I was thinking about someone else!"

"Like who?" Kim asked, as well as Hope, who was in shock. 'I thought Tara wanted this position? Why is she giving it up?'

Tara turned to the Filipino girl. "You, Hope!"

She blinked in shock. "Me?"

"Her?" Kim responded, now tweaked. "You can't be serious!"

"Tara, why are you giving this position to me? I thought you wanted this!" Hope snapped at her slightly.

"I did, but I don't think that I'd do as great of a job as you would if you were captain, so the spot's yours!"

"You can't be serious!" Kim exclaimed.

"Why are you upset, Kim?" Marcella asked.

"We thought that you'd be happy? After all, trying to carry a bunch of talentless bimbos and airheads is so tiring!" Liz snidely said. Putting as much emphasis on "bimbos" and "airheads" as much as Tara did.

Kim couldn't believe that her own words were being thrown back at her. But still she held her ground. "You can't just kick me off the squad! Even if it is an unanimous decision, none of you have any more authority than the squad captain!"

"No, but Barkin can." A new voice said as Kim looked behind her. To see Felix rolled up to her, not looking too happy with her.

"Since Barkin's swamped with paperwork dealing with the whole lawsuit my mom just thrown at the school, he told me to give you a message: "You, as of now, are suspended for vandalizing school property and stealing! And yes, he did saw the tape."

"But how did you even-" Kim stopped as her eyes narrowed, realizing that there was one person who could've possibly recovered the footage, let alone have on tape to give to Felix. "Wade…"

"Speaking of him, you can expect to receive his resignation pretty soon." Felix informed. "When he gave me the tape, he wasn't exactly happy about you lying to him about what happened between you and Ron."

"As we were saying," Hope, now the new squad captain, continued. "Not only are you no longer Squad Captain, but you're no longer a member of the Squad."

"You can't do this to me!" Kim declared, almost screaming. "After all I have done for the squad. After all I have done for each of you!"

"You mean how the only reason why we got this far is because of your name and your name alone?" Tara reminded Kim of the words she said to Bonnie, when she basically bashed the entire squad. "But now it's quite the opposite. Which brings us to another reason why you're off the squad. You're name is so much in infamy right now that we'd get booed off the court just for you being there."

Marcella added. "I don't think anyone would take too kindly to someone who's reckless enough to risk destroying a children's hospital on the squad. Not to mention the safety issues in the squad."

"Good point!" Tara added. "If you're so reckless on your missions? How do you know that we can trust you to make sure that we're safe, let alone as Squad Captain?"

Kim just glared at the remaining members of the squad, then at Felix, all of them glaring back at the now former cheerleader. "If you want a new Squad Captain? Fine! You can just fail and fall flat on your face at the Cheer Offs for all I care! Hmph!" And with at Kim stormed off, leaving her former squad and friends behind.

Back in Kim's bedroom

Being kicked off the cheer squad was already bad enough! Due to the destruction she inadvertently caused yesterday, Kim had to cancel her date with Josh, as she had to go to Denver and speak to the mayor of what happened. She already knew that she was going to have to pay a few fines, as well as do some community service, but since that she didn't even speak to Wade, nor that she wanted to after today. So Kim had to drive the long hourly miles all the way to City hall to speak to the Mayor of Denver. When she got back, it was already 11 at night. Thankfully, her parents and her brothers were asleep as Kim went to her room and collapsed onto her bed. After a few minutes, she decided to switch on the plasma-screen TV, a gift she had gotten from Samsung for helping them with their shipments during the holiday season years ago, deciding that maybe watching some TV would soothe her nerves.

Much to her excitement, Vh1's "Best Week Ever" was on. This show covered all of the biggest news in the world today, such as the release of the new Harry Potter Book "Goblet of Fire," Rock group Linkin Bizkit's front man Ted McDarst claiming to have been dating Britina, who adamantly denied the allegations. Just to name a few. Now she wondered what was on the news this week. However, to say that she was not happy would be an understatment when she saw this, labeled under the heading "A(n) (In)Possible screwup."

"Last night, what supposed to be the biggest moment in her life, turned out to be worst day in the life of Kim Possible, as she not only destroyed a priceless artifact, but she almost killed herself and the agents of Global Justice."

Kim couldn't believe this! First basically the entire school mocks her, and now she was going to be mocked by D-list celebrities?

"So here's the story, or as Kim would say, 'here's the sitch!'" Paul Scheer begins, "Kim Possible is sent to recover some powerful jewelry called "The Eye of Ra" from some blue-skinned mad scientist, but not only does she fail, but she almost manages to get everyone killed by firing her hook from her grapple gun at the jewel, causing it explode.

"Kim Possible, usually so calm, coordinated, and bright, appears to make an obvious bad decision by shooting her harpoon at the jewel, ending up shattering it!" Miss Info gave her two cents.

"I just have one question: What kind of person decides that it's a good idea to use a harpoon to retrieve jewelry?" Christian Finnegan asked in disbelief. "Let alone a piece of jewelry that can explode?"

Melissa Rauch, now wearing a red wig and dressed in a black long-sleeve midriff and olive-green cargo pants, had a cheery smile on her face. "It was spankin'!" She said in her best Kim Possible voice. "I couldn't get past those guards and that green flaming hands lady, so I decided to use my grapple gun to get close to the jewel! I know that it was an artifact and I shattered it, nearly destroying everyone around me, but no big! So not the drama!"

Kim's eye twitched as one could've sworn that a vein bulged in her forehead, particularly at Miss Rauch's impersonation. She wasn't anything like that, was she?

"She both destroys an artifact and nearly kills everyone in the building! You think that'll be enough right? But here's the kicker!" Adrianne Frost proceeded to explain. "This was not the first, but the second attempt as she… well… she missed the first time as she activated the death ray! And here's the kicker. The hospital building, The Kimberly Anne Possible Children's Hospital, a hospital that was just rebuilt and named after her, was destroyed by that very same laser she activated!"

"Kim" continued. "I was really getting desperate when I sent my Harpoon flying to get the Eye of Ra. But I just came a little bit short and hit the button that caused the destruction of my new hospital!" She giggles, "No big! I'm Kim Possible, and I can do anything. Even make stupid mistakes."

"This is only a speculation, but maybe her mission would've been better if her sidekick, Ron Stoppable, was there to keep things calm." Paul speculated. "Sure, he may have lost his pants, but at least Kim wouldn't be so out of place now."

"It just makes you wonder." Christian asked, "Was she any good at all, or was she good because Stoppable was a distraction that took the attention off of her."

"The hell it was because of Stoppable!" Kim snapped at the TV screen. The nerve of those people believing that that idiot sidekick of hers was the secret to her success!

"Maybe if I had Ronnie be the distraction, then perhaps I would've been able to get close enough to the jewel and take it before being found out!" "Kim" sighed, "If only we haven't had that event that lead to the brake up of the team. Then he could've, like, distracted those evil guys and I would've been able to complete the mission! So not doing wonders for my career!"

"Let's compare Kim's performance with and without the Ron Factor!" Doug Benson suggested as footage of Kim and Ron began to play, with Ron losing his pants after firing his Grapple Gun, pulling his dark cargo pants, revealing his blue polka-dot boxers. "With the Ron Factor!"

Footage now plays last night's event, as Kim used her grapple gun to leave the scene. Unfortunately, Kim receives the same fate as Ron did in the previous footage. "Without the Ron Factor."

"I'll say one good thing about Kim's performance last night." Rachel Harris admits. "Like her former sidekick, she wears very clean underwear. But does her parents know that she wears thongs?"

"I guess when Ron Stoppable left the team, he took all of Team Possible's success with him. Because let's face it!" Paul stated. "When was the last time Kim Possible was successful in her missions without him?"

That comment proved to be the final straw in the camel's back, as Kim within rage, threw a black, high heel sandal at the TV screen, with the 5-inch heel landing on the screen, causing it to crack as Kim roughly laid back. She had enough of it. The humiliation, being looked down upon, everything! This was Ron's fault. So what if they had a fight, if he would've just stayed there, none of this crap would've been happening to her. It was then she decided. She was going to look for Ron. And when she found him, she was going to give him much more than a piece of her mind!


Next chapter, we fast forward in time (only by a few weeks) as the villain finally makes an appearance. Y'all know the drill. R&R!
