Chapter 11
(Feb. 9, 2006, 1:14pm)
Kim and Ron entered into Drama Class with Vance, Laramie, and Cara all giving a watchful eye to them.
"You'd better bring your A-game, Possible!" Cara said with her hawkish stare at Team Possible.
"And you'd better direct a performance that is worthy of us or else Shakespeare would spin so fast in his gave that he would power the entire Stratford-upon-Avon area for 200 years!" Vance added.
"Yeah...what they said!" Laramie replied without thinking of a comeback in her head.
"Look, you three. If I can lead the Middleton High cheer squad to a state title at the CHSAA Spirit Championships a month ago..." Kim retorted back.
Ron then interrupted her.
"...while fighing off Dementor's evil robot army that I helped stopped by accidentally snatching the remote from him and played around with it."
"I recall that one." Kim smirked, "Made all the robots malfunction and crashing into each other!"
"Lots of twisted metal everywhere!" Ron chimed in.
Kim then turned her attention back to the Glee Three.
"If I can go through all of that and save the world, then I can handle Romeo and Juliet with so no prob!" the redhead said confidently before she and Ron took her seat. "Look up my motto!"
Barkin then approached the rest of the class.
"Since Miss Tudor is still in the Middleton High concussion protocol, I would like to again remind you that the deadline for your roles will be on Monday afternoon at 2pm." he proclaimed.
Kim raised her hand.
"Yes, Possible?" Barkin questioned.
"Mr. Barkin, who currently has the roles of Romeo and Juliet?" Kim asked.
"The role of Juliet is currently held by Flores and the role of Romeo is currently held by Reeger." Barkin said, pointing to Zita and Rob Reeger, the Middleton High class clown.
Kim muttered, for Reeger was infamous for playing pranks on teachers, and he had teamed up with Bonnie on a couple of occassions to play pranks on her and Ron.
He then continued, "As it stands, that is going to be the Romeo and Juliet that the Glee Three and you must direct if you are to make a good grade on this, Possible!"
Kim groaned, because she knew what trouble Reeger would bring to the stage.
(3:37pm)
Kim finalized the cheer routine by landing perfectly on her feet. She had just jumped from a cheer pyramid. Bonnie watched from her spotter routine to make sure no one got injured, but she had something else in mind.
Ron, as was the agreement with the other members of the MHS cheer squad, did his Mad Dog routine of spraying the foam 50 feet away from the other cheerleaders.
"And that was great, girls!" Kim exclaimed as the cheer pyramid disassembled. "We'll take a break and be back at it on next Monday!"
Ron then came up to Kim.
"Hey, Ron!"
"Hey, KP! How did the Mad Dog do?"
"Totally awesome as always!" Kim smiled at her best friend.
"It's what the Ron-man can do!" Ron said while removing the Mad Dog mask. "Not to mention all the pushups I did for the football team last year." It was a Middleton High tradition that the Mad Dog mascot had to do pushups every time Middleton scores, be it a safety or a touchdown. "Almost had to go to the chiropractor after that..."
"So, wanna head over to Bueno Nacho right now?" he then asks, "I heard that BN HQ has unveiled a five-alarm Diablo sauce!"
"I would like to see you and Rufus perform a fire-eating contest as of the moment, but we gotta head on home first." Kim replied, "Dad's gotta do the reservations for the hotel we're gonna stay at for Mom's parents' anniversary in Nebraska."
"You got a point there." Ron added.
"Yep. I'm gonna go ahead and change and we'll head out of the gym together." Kim said as she and the other girls went into the locker room. Ron headed to the boys' locker room to change.
"You hear that, Rufus! We're gonna have our Diablo-sauce drink contest!" Ron grinned at his naked mole rat. "The loser will have to sleep on the couch tonight!"
Rufus, from Ron's pocket, chittered with a laugh,
"You're on!"
Bonnie, Ashley A, and Ashley B smirked at each other. They agreed earlier to meet at around 4:30pm in

(4:12pm)
Kim came out of the gym, now in her white croptop, Club Banana dark denim baggy overalls, and white sneakers. She, of course, had both straps hooked. Ron was in his usual outfit with Rufus in his pants pocket. Kim had also called her mom earlier to pick them up.
Unknown to them, Ashley A was on the side of the gym, looking at them with a smirk
"OK, girls, the coast is clear!" Ashley A insisted with a whisper when she saw Kim and Ron being picked by by Ann in the Possible minivan, "Let's go to the Rockwaller house!" Bonnie had earlier told the Ashleys, as well as Hope and Rebecca, that 4:30pm would be the the perfect time to meet at her house because of the fact that Veronica usually doesn't get home until 6pm and Donald doesn't get home from his shift at the police department until 6:30pm, since he works the normal shift of 8am-6pm on Mondays and Fridays. Donald worked the evening shifts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at MPD and on Saturday mornings.
In other words, this scheduling gave Bonnie ample opportunity to plan out her plot to get to the Romeo and Juliet cast list before Monday.
Since all the Ashleys were seniors, they had their drivers' licenses. They all drove out the student parking lot to head to Bonnie's house.

(4:21pm)
Ashley A and Ashley B parked on the left side of the street while Ashley Q and Ashley T parked on the right side of the street. Ashley B had also picked up Bonnie, Hope, and Rebecca as well.
"Looks like we came a little early." Ashley B said with a manevolent grin.
"Early for us to start plotting Possible and Stoppable's popularity demise!" Bonnie added with a slight evily laugh, pressing a button on the garage door from her purse. She also had an extra set of house keys for when either or both of her parents are still at work.
The seven girls all walked into the garage. Once Bonnie closed the garage door, locked the door leading from the garage to the kitchen, and made sure the coast was clear, she got out a couple of folding chairs.
"Is there anyone in the house we should be aware about?" Ashley Q asked.
"My little bro, Jonnie." Bonnie replied. "He usually takes the bus to school. So he's taken care of!"
"Ugh...annoying little sibs! I sympathize with you!" Ashey B agreed.
"Hey, to be fair, I love my little bro! He and I are tight...unlike my ugly older sisters." Bonnie countered, defending her bond with Jonnie.
"Can we just get to the point with the theft of that skeleton key, B?" Ashley A questioned, insisting on the details.
Bonnie sighed, "Very well! AQ and R, can you both get the folding table and the house plans as well?"
Ashley Q and Rebecca gathered both the small folding table as well as the layout plans of the Rockwaller house. Ashley Q unfolded the legs to make the table stand up and Rebecca unveiled the plans of the house.
Bonnie pointed out the end of the hallway.
"The master bedroom is over here at the very edge. Mom usually hides her skeleton key on the dresser. A couple of us can swipe it from there on our way to the school." she explained.
"Why not just take it now?" Ashley T insisted.
Bonnie glared at her and replied, "AT, what aspect of stealth do you not get? And besides, all the MUSD schools usually lock up at around 6pm. Mom would surely notice and I would be grounded for an entire month!"
She continued, "This plan needs to have an aspect of stealth if we are to surprise both Possible and Stoppable."
Ashley T sighed, "Go ahead, B!"
"Ashley A and I are going to plan a sleepover on Saturday night and make it seem that it is a girls' night out." Bonnie explained, "I have Mom and Dad's nightly routine down to a science. They usually drink a glass of water at around 9pm before they go to bed. But if I can spike it, they will get even more sleepy faster."
"Spike it? You mean use alcohol?" Hope asked.
"No, H! Its the AJAX sleeping powder the 'rents keep in the cabinet above the counter!" Bonnie replied.
"And how will we do that?" Ashley B asked.
"Dad sometimes uses that sleeping powder to give himself longer nights of sleep after long shifts at the station." Bonnie explained, "If I can put a teaspoon each in their glasses, it'll surely knock them out of commission."
"Then we will take the key at around 10:30pm, sneak into the school at 11, and once Ashley Q cuts off the security cams, find that Romeo and Juliet cast list, and make the swap." Bonnie continued going into detail about their plan. "Once that is done, we'll come back to the house and put the key back in its proper place! No one will even notice!"
"Alright, I am in agreement of this plan!" Ashley A replied, shooting up her hand.
Bonnie smiled at this.
"Alright, any other takers?"
One by one, the girls raised their hands, Ashley B followed Ashley A, then Ashley T, Rebecca, Hope, and lastly Ashley Q.
"Now that I see no objections to this plot, Possible won't know what hit her!"
