At the Banana Republic in the mall, Kim and Monique were trying on new clothes while continuing on their conversation from yesterday.
Kim tries on a red and grey t-shirt; she shows it to Monique, "what do you think, Monique?"
"That shirt looks good on you girl," said Monique
"Thanks, Monique, so whos the guy you are interested in yesterday?" said Kim going back into the change room and change back to her usual green tank top
"Well, his name is Ben Tennyson," Monique then put on a pale green summer jacket with printed pink flowers on it
"BEN!" Kim screams in her head as she comes out of the change room with dozens of questions on how Monique and Ben meet each other, so she asks, "how did the two of you meet?" she as tries to say it casually
"Oh well, two days ago, he and I bumped into each other while he was looking for his cousin. We talked a little before he had to go with his friend. I think he found his, cousin by now,"
"I hope they did," then she thought "they met when Ben and Kevin were looking for Gwen,"
Monique took off the jacket, "you two should meet. I think you guys would get along great," Monique tries on an orange scarf.
"I would like to meet the boy that you fall head over heels for and won't stop talking about,"
Monique blushed "yeah, well, he is a sweet guy," Monique tries on a vanilla summer hat "what do you think, Kim?"
"Looks great Monique," and she thinks to herself, "Ben and I are going to have a little talk about this,"
After Kim finished looking at clothes with Monique, she immediately found Ben coming out of a convenience store with a large strawberry mixed candy smoothie in his left hand.
"Hey, Kim," said Ben
"Ben we need to talk," said Kim
"Sure, we can talk, but about what?"
Kim looked to see a bus bench "We can talk over there," she points to it Kim and Ben goes over to the bench and sat down "I know about you and Monique,"
Ben is shocked and nearly coughs up his smoothie, "How did you know Monique?"
"She is one of my close friends, that's why I don't like to lie to her, so I got to ask you, do you like Monique?"
Ben rubbed the back of his head "yes, I like Monique, but..."
"But what?"
"I don't know if I should ask her out because you know my job,"
"Your alien adventures and plumber business?"
"Yes, see, my last relationship didn't end well because my ex got worried about my safety and health every time I had to fight some crazy villain or an alien that wanted to take over the world when I would not give it up, we broke up," Ben got depressed.
"Ben I am so sorry I didn't mean to bring that up,"
"It's all right Kim I'm just afraid I would put Monique in the same position, or end up even worse for both of us,"
"Ben Monique isn't like that she could handle anything remember she, my friend she been in a couple of mission with me and seen what Ron and I have to deal with so I'm sure she can take the idea of you transforming into an alien and fighting other aliens,"
Ben smiled a bit, "you think so, Kim?"
"I'm sure Ben you just had to tell Monique the truth about what you do if you guys get serious,"
"I will Kim,"
"Any way that all I want to talk about seeing you, Ben,"
"See ya, Kim,"
Kim walks away from Ben, knowing a bit more about Ben and Monique from their talk.
Somewhere in the middle of the desert in Arizona was one of Drakken's secret labs right now Drakken is going on his third rant about his latest world domination plan ruined by some rock creature and a Kim look alike. Shego was not listening to Drakken rant as she sat on a swivel chair, thinking about the hourglass symbol on the rock creature's chest.
"I swear I heard or saw that before I just can't remember," Shego thought then she remembers about the hourglass symbol "Oh yeah I had a cellmate a few years back told me that she got arrested by some four-arm freak with red skin had an hourglass symbol on his right side of it shoulder. Hm, maybe they are connected if so I might go visit those guys and see what they about,"
"SHEGO!" Drakken shouted from the other room
"What Dr.D!" Shego shouted back
"I got a new plan to rule the world,"
"All right, I'll hear this idea," Shego gets up from her chair "even if sounds like it going to blow," Shego thought
In the afternoon, Monique is talking to Ben on her phone while she is in her bedroom. The two were talking about the time when Ben was 10, and he had a fear of clowns.
"How could you be afraid of clowns Ben they had those silly red noses, and they try to make people laugh?" said Monique
"Clowns can be crappy and scary have seen the movie IT or the one clown from an American horror story,"
Monique thought about Ben two examples "yeah okay now I could see why clowns can be scared from those two examples,"
"See clowns were the creepiest thing to me when I was about ten but I got over after that age,"
"How?"
"I face my fears of clowns at this one circus on my summer road trip with my grandpa and my cousin, and after that, I'm not afraid of clown no more,"
"I guess you would say you're not clowning any more," Monique laughs at her joke.
"Ha good one," Ben laugh as well
Then an email pops up in Monique's phone, and she checks it out to see the following message.
"Monique you have been invented to Tara party on Friday night at 7:00 clock see you there," the message said
"Sweet," said Monique
"What is it Monique?" said Ben
"Ben I got invented to my friend Tara party on Friday,"
"That sounds cool I haven't been to a party for ages,"
"Hm, is that so how about you come to the party with me, Ben?"
"But I don't know your friend Monique, and she doesn't know me,"
"That's okay Ben I'll just say you're my plus one,"
Ben was hesitant to say, but he bites the bullet, "so this is like a date then?"
Monique smile "Only if you wanted to be,"
"Then yes I'll come with you to your friend party,"
Monique cover her phone scream excitedly and then take her hand off the phone "all right then you just pick me up at my house, I'll give you the directions,"
"No problem,"
"See you on Friday, Ben bye," Monique hangs up. She falls back on her bed and looks up at the ceiling with a smile.
"This is going to be the best party ever," she thought.
