His ass is still smokin hot…Bebe realized she was probably staring at this point, and pulled her eyes away from Kyle's rear. She was really impressed with Kyle's amount of concern for his friend…among other things. Kyle had always seemed to be a caring guy, and she was drawn to that. Bebe tended to be a bit more reckless, so he seemed like a potential safety blanket.

Kyle turned around right before they got to the bus.

"Alright, you ready?" He asked Bebe with a smile.

"Yeah. Let's do this" She smiled back.

They walked up the stairs onto the bus. It was the same chaotic scene that it was every day. Ever since they had lost Ms. Crabtree, the bus had become a breeding ground for all sorts of chaos. The new bus driver was about as stern as a sack of crap. Most of the time he just sat there and muttered under his breath. Bebe had managed to hear him once and ever since then she'd been sure to stay on his good side.

As the two walked down the aisle past all of the kids being bullied and paper airplanes whizzing by, they began to put their plan into action. Kyle nodded to Bebe, and she stormed past Wendy in that stereotypical "we're not talking" fashion, and a clueless look came over Wendy's face. Kyle took his place next to Wendy, and Bebe kept walking till she reached Stan a couple seats back.

Stan looked at Bebe like she had three heads.

"Dude what the hell are you doing?" Stan asked her in a slightly pissed off tone.

"Kyle said he was pissed at you, and that he doesn't want to sit here. This is the only seat left."

Wait a minute…Stan started getting suspicious. Why the hell would Kyle want to sit with Wendy? Unless he's trying to make a move on her! That unbelievable asshole! I'll kill him!

"Stan can I talk to you about something?" Bebe asked in a quiet voice.

"Yeah…sure…whatever…" Stan grumbled.

"I wanted to talk to you about…" Bebe paused for a moment "I wanna talk to you about Wendy"

As soon as she said Wendy's name the level of Stan's attentiveness jumped.

"What about her?"

"Well…it's hard for her to admit, but I think she really misses you…"

"If she misses me so much then why did she dump me?"

"She felt like you didn't care Stan"

"I had Elton John write a song for her. I don't know what more I could have done"

"Honestly Stan the actions that mean most to girls are things that come directly from you. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure she appreciated it. But if the song was written and played by you it would mean much more to her. Even if the song was way worse"

"Whatever Bebe…It's not like it matters anyway. She dumped me a long time ago. It's been over for a while now. Why should I even think about Wendy again after the way she just tossed me in the trash like that?"

"People make mistakes Stan. You know she only dated Token for like two weeks?"

"What did she get bored of him too?"

"No Stan I think she realized she made a mistake by leaving you"

"Well she should have thought about that before she left me. How could I ever trust her again Bebe? How?"

"I can't answer that Stan. All I'm saying is maybe you and Wendy kind of left things…unsettled. Maybe you can at least bury the hatchet?"

"Seriously why do people keep telling me to bury axes?"

"…never mind"

"Doesn't look like it matters anyway…"

"What do you mean?"

"Kyle's moving in on her right now."

Bebe looked up to where Kyle and Wendy were sitting. They did seem to smiling a lot...What if Stan is right? What if Kyle's just doing all this to move in on Wendy? No that can't be. Kyle even said that Wendy told him she still has some feelings for Stan…but then again she had feelings for Stan when she moved on to Token…

"That was the only seat left Stan"

Things with Kyle and Wendy were going a little better than they were for Stan and Bebe.

"I'm just talking about this stuff because I know it made you both happy." Kyle said.

"I know Kyle, and I appreciate what you're doing. But the fact of the matter is that what me and Stan had is in the past now. He can barely stand talking to me anymore…"

"I don't think so Wendy. You guys still totally have a shot at making it work"

"Why aren't you sitting with Stan?"

"He's sitting back there with Bebe"

"…oh" This can't be happening to me… Wendy thought. My best friend is moving in on my ex-boyfriend that I haven't even gotten over yet…god I can't believe this is happening to me.

"I don't think it has anything to do with you Wendy. Bebe said he was pissed at me and didn't want to sit with me"

"So why would he sit with Bebe!"

"Probably because it was the last seat left on the bus" Kyle smiled jokingly.

"Oh…yeah. Heh" Wendy blushed a bit. She hadn't realized how overzealous she was getting. "Well Kyle it was cool talking to you and everything, but this is my stop. I gotta get going…but thanks" Wendy smiled.

"No problem dude. At least promise you'll think about it. It sucks having Stan mope around. And you're one of like two girls who aren't totally lame. Wouldn't you want to become lame" Kyle chuckled.

"I'll think about it Kyle" Wendy smiled and turned to walk away. Bebe acted her part to keep Stan convinced she was angry at Wendy. When the bus pulled away and turned the corner, Bebe ran to catch up with her friend.

"Wendy wait up!"

"Why are you mad at me?" Wendy asked.

"I'm not mad at you at all. I just had to talk to Stan about something"

"What is he trying to switch partners to be with you? Is that it?"

"No! That's not it at all. It was…something else"

"I'm your best friend. Can't you just tell me?"

"It was kind of personal Wendy. I can't really talk to you about it."

"Whatever Bebe. Just do me a favor and at least wait until after our project is over to start dating Stan. It'll make the project a little less awkward." Wendy was starting to get that look in her eye. Bebe had seen it before. Wendy was normally a very sweet little girl, but deep inside her there was a monster of rage that would unleash itself (Ms. Ellen could attest to that…if she wasn't burnt up in outer space somewhere).

"Wendy I don't like Stan! What we were talking about was nothing like that"

"Then why can't you tell me! If you're my best friend you should be able to tell me anything!"

"Look Wendy I told Stan I wouldn't tell anyone. What kind of person would I be if I broke that promise? Just know that it has nothing to with me liking Stan or him liking me."

"Whatever. I'm going home. I'll call you about the project." Wendy stormed off before Bebe could say anything else.

I hope our plan doesn't backfire Bebe thought. If Wendy thinks I'm trying to move in on Stan, I can't imagine what Stan thinks Kyle is trying to do…

"Dude…you wanna tell me why you were hitting on Wendy the entire bus ride home?" Stan said to Kyle as they got off the bus.

"Dude I wasn't hitting on Wendy. She was talking to me about something. I sat with her because it was the last seat left." Kyle replied.

"Well what the hell was so special that you had to talk about? How come every time I looked over you two were all smiles and stuff?"

"Calm down dude! We're just friends. I thought you didn't care about Wendy anymore anyways"

"I don't"

"Then what's up? Why are you acting so weird?"

"I'm just…I dunno man just a lame day I guess"

"You sure it's got nothing to do with this project thing we have to do?"

"Why would that matter?"

"You pretty much have to go out on a date with Wendy, the girl who you liked. The girl who dumped you. I could see why that would bother you."

"No it has nothing to do with that…"

"Dude you can tell me about it. I'm your best friend"

"Alright…so maybe it is a little weird. What the hell do I even say to her dude? Thanks for dumping me for Token?"

"Dude it's been a while. You guys should really consider burying the hatchet"

"What the hell does an axe being buried have to do with Wendy and me?"

"Dude never mind just take this as a chance to settle things with Wendy. The way you guys left it was…weird."

"Not by my choice"

"That doesn't mean you can't work with her to make it right"

"Whatever dude. I'm gonna go home now. Call me later so we can figure out the plan for this stupid project"

"Alright…" Kyle sighed. I was really hoping that having Bebe talk to him would help, but it seems like it just made things worse. Why the hell do these two have to be so stubborn?

Thoughts of the next course of action in his (and apparently now Bebe's) master plan running through his mind, Kyle walked home.

I think I might know how to make it happen…
