Romancing the Daredevil (Kick Buttowski Fanfic)

Kick the Understudy

Early afternoon in Mellowbrook Elementary School in the auditorium: rehearsing the play of Romeo and Juiet, with Ronaldo and Kendall Perkins playing the title roles, something that pissed not only Kick but also a few more people Kick Buttowski knows very well.

Kendall: Romeo, Oh, Romeo, Where for are thou, Romeo?

Ronaldo: Oh, speak again, bright angel.

Kick (annoyed): Please don't speak again.

Julie: Yeah, please, don't.

Kick sees that Julie Trenton and also her friend Lucy Penkinson are sitting next to him, and is interested of how she and Ronaldo knew each other and became foes before Ronaldo moving to Mellowbrook before Julie returned.

Kick: You hate this, too?

Julie: If you mean Ronaldo, my worst enemy, dating my best friend, Kendall? Then yes.

Kick: Uh, yeah. But this play is too sappy.

Julie: Yeah, but something tells me what can make this play more exciting is if a certain daredevil makes it endearing.

Kick: Yeah, but sorry, Jules, I can't handle anymore drama.

Kick springs out of his seat and aimed towards the exit, until he is stopped by the school drama teacher, Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang: Mr. Wang does not teach just drama. Mr. Wang is also a master of the dramatic entrance.

Lucy: How does Mr. Wang do that?

Julie: Probably just plain wires.

Kick: Well, it's time for me to make my dramatic exit.

Mr. Wang: Oh, Kick, it seems obvious that you and I don't share the same passion for the dramatic arts, but it is my duty as your teacher to involve all my students.

Kick, Julie and Lucy sees what Mr. Wang was motioning to a weakling named Howie holding a rope for the curtains.

Lucy: Oh, the poor soul. I think I'll handle the ropes. Can I, Mr. Wang?

Mr. Wang: Of course, Lucy. The more the merrier. Anyway, Kick, you're gonna have to be Ronaldo's understudy.

Kick: Does that involve studying.

Julie (whispers to Lucy): Just like Kick, to neglect studying.

Mr. Wang: No, but it does involve doing nothing.

Kick: I'm listening.

Mr. Wang: Unless something happens to Ronaldo, in which case you have to take his place on stage, as Romeo.

Kick: Romeo?!

Then images came to Kick's head, starting with Kick on stage with the kids dressing him as Romeo and Mr. Wang pushing to Kendall who is happily ready to kiss him, and she did that.

Kick: NO! Anything but that please!

Julie: Wait? If Kick is Romeo when Ronaldo is hurt, Kick will have to kiss Kendall, and we won't see Ronaldo with Kendall ever again!

Lucy: Yeah, That does sound great but it won't be easy, Julie. You gotta somehow convince Kick that romance is not all that bad.

Julie: You're right.

Gunther: How we're gonna do it?

Julie: We'll find a way.
