"Wonder who that could be?" Barry asked. He remained where he was when Vanessa went to see who was at the door.

She went to the other room and turned off the radio.

Barry heard a deep, masculine voice when Vanessa answered the door. She said something to the human visitor, the tone in her voice making it clear she wasn't happy to see him. The bee knew it was Ken, but what was he doing here? He took to the air and began slowly making his way to the hallway that lead to the door, listening intently.
"Ken..." Vanessa said gently, her voice laced with annoyance, "I already told you it's over."
"Over?! Because of HIM?! He's a BEE!"
That never failed to upset her. He was constantly trying to use the fact that Vanessa and Barry are different species against her, trying to make her feel ashamed just so she would stay tied with him. So what if Barry was a bee? He was the best friend she ever had and she knew he would NEVER do that to her.
"Ken," Vanessa had to use every bit of self control to keep her voice from cracking and from showing any indication that her feelings were hurt, "I told you already... it won't work out."
"Come on, Vanessa!" Ken exclaimed desperately, "We can make this work! I'm renting my apartment to a family of roaches!"
Vanessa sighed, "Sorry, Ken... Goodbye."
By the time Barry got to his destination, Vanessa had already closed the door in Ken's face. Yelling could be heard from the other side of the door.
"So... What did Ken want?" Barry asked his friend. He soon noticed Vanessa's face. Her eyes were glossy and it looked like she was about to cry. He flew to her, "Van, what happened?"
