"What's the sitch, Wade?'

"Where's Kim, Ron?"

"She…ah…she can't come to the phone right now."

"Why not? Where is she?"

"Well, Wade. Ah…" Ron glanced at his girlfriend, sitting up on the bed. "She's here, she just won't be able to help for a little bit." A small grin began trying to emerge on his face.

"Ron, what…" Wade's picture on the screen began to look both alarmed and shocked. "Ron, have you and Kim gone black hole behavior?"

Ron's grin grew involuntarily. ""Wade, you want to see something you've never seen before, keep your eyes on the screen."

The picture transmitted began to move.

A dark blush bloomed on Wade's image. "Ron, no…uh…Kim will…I don't wanna…" His stuttered protest stopped as the picture settled, showingthe lovely red headed teen hero. "Whoa, Ron, that's…ah…wild."

"I know, I've been enjoying it for a while." Ron chortled, seeing his young friend's expression, "you really ought to take a picture, y'know, and it'll last longer."

Wade's gaze never moved from his screen. He whistled, "How long has she been like that?"

"A while now," Ron grinned, "Ever since reality up and smacked her when she opened that envelope."

Wade finally moved his eyes from Kim's slack jawed face to the letter in her hands. "What's in that letter?'

"A summons from a lawyer in Florida. Seems two guys she dumped in the swamp are suing for damages and medical bills."

"Damages? Medical bills?"

"Yep, seems it wasn't Saturday."

XXXXXXX

A/N I know this isn't much, but a thought hit me about the "Frugal Lucre" episode. The two clowns jazzing in the air boat were without a doubt idiots, but they were not breaking the law, and Kim had no authority to destroy their boat. Read court records sometimes, people sue over things a lot dumber than this.

Appreciate getting this off my brain. Ya'll have a good weekend.
