Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of these characters, shows (if any are motioned), foods, and places. Most likely the only thing I own is the plot. So this applies for the entire fic. If a make something up I'll let you all know.
Summary: AU. KiGo (eventually). Kim is 17, Bonnie and Monique are 18, and Shego is 19. Kim is a retired hero not completely out of business, and Shego is a retired hero that is out of business. Shego never met Dr. Drakken. Kim and her two best friends Bonnie and Monique are off to college at Go University, when Kim and her roommate start to get a little intimate.
Note: Sorry if this took forever --' … My computer finally got working and I'm all caught up on my school work so yup. The other one was kinda awkward and I didn't like it very much, I felt like I was rushing it. So I choose to rewrite it and I hope it is much more clearly. It's also longer, because of more dialogue. Also I have changed the plot slightly… or not so slightly. And yeah this is still my first fic.
Chapter 1: The Trip
Ah yes, it was a quiet Friday morning in Middleton. It was the last week of August and the sun had risen not even an hour ago. It was splashing its golden early morning glow all over the town. Most students would still be asleep attempting to sleep in as late as possible, for school begin the next Monday. Well all students except some college students heading over and getting ready to leave to college that is.
But the quiet was soon broken in a part of Middleton where the Possible family lived. A small red two doored car approached the Possible house and stopped in front of it. The car looked like it couldn't take anymore weight and would collapse any second thanks to all the bags that were in the trunk. The young African American girl in the passenger seat was taking out her cell phone to call a certain red head. But the driver, an aqua eyed girl, closed her friend's flip phone and began to honk and yell madly.
"Kim! Hurry the hell up! We've got a long day ahead of us and the sooner we got on the road the better!" yelled Bonnie sticking almost half her body out of the window, while holding on to the handle with her right hand.
Pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head Monique just sighed. "We should've called her, now thanks to you…you probably woke up half the neighborhood." she stated clearly annoyed and raising her hands slightly while Bonnie sat back in the car.
"Hey, we all agreed to get up at this hour and she should have been ready by now. I even called Kim last night to confirm that she knew the time I was coming. She should've already been on the corner of the street waiting for me with all her bags and materials ready hit the road!"
They then heard the door open, and Kim poked her head out clearly surprised. She had a toothbrush in her mouth and waved at her two friends while slightly blushing. Clearly Kim wasn't expecting her friends to be there just yet. "Gimme a minute!" she yelled and closed the door. As she made her way to the bathroom she asked her dad, Mr. Possible, if he could be taking her stuff out to the car.
"Sure Kimmie- Cub" he said, then opening the door and picking up a mini-fridge and taking it out to the front.
"Looks like I better help Mr. Possible" said Monique releasing her seat belt and getting off the car as she noticed Mr. Possible.
"Morning Mr. Possible!" greeted Monique with a smile, meeting him at the back of the car.
"Ah, good morning Monique. Good morning Bonnie!" he said while picking up his voice so Bonnie could hear him.
"Back at ya Mr. P" replied Bonnie with a slight, but noticeable scowl.
"So… a mini- fridge. I guess Kim is really serious about this college thing huh?" Monique asked while opening the trunk, and Mr. Possible placing the microwave in the trunk.
"Whoo… you know it" he replied wiping imaginary sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. "There's still a small microwave by the door that she insisted on bringing. She told me she saw the pamphlet and read that no microwaves were included in the dorms, but you were more than welcome to bring your own."
"Yeah, I read that too. There's no TV included, I mean it is a suite dorm right? The best college in this part or the states, and they leave out the essentials for college living!"
"Yes, that's true. But don't the dorms also have their own private bathroom. Well the ones you girls will be staying at anyways?"
"Yeah, that's an upside. I guess Bonnie and me will have to drop by frequently by Kim's and use her microwave." she said with a chuckle.
They both looked over at the door as they heard grunting noises and a car door slam. Kim was single handedly trying to carry her beloved microwave and a fairly large bag out to the car. Bonnie was the first to notice and ran out her car to help Kim.
"Kim! I swear. Sometimes you can be such a dolt! You could have hurt yourself! Then what would I do without you!?" Bonnie said while taking the microwave from Kim.
"I don't know. What would you do? Besides you said sometimes, which isn't all the time." replied the red head with a grin on her face.
"Whatever Kim. A microwave?" she asked while walking to the car. "Oh yeah, that's right! No microwaves are included in the dorms. I like you thinkin' Kimmie! Now we just gotta make this thing fit in the trunk."
"Thanks. I like my thinking too…"
"Oh please. Don't get so full of yourself!" she said in a playful voice. She looked over to Kim and noticed Kim doing her trademark puppy-dog pout. "Aww… you know I was kidding Kim!" she said exasperated.
"I know!" Kim replied while running over to the car and placing her bag on the floor and running back into her house to get the rest of her bags.
They all loaded everything into the trunk, and as all four of them were about to close the trunk, they found out they couldn't. The 'essentials for college living' were the cause of it, they just didn't fit. "Well, looks like were gonna have to re-arrange the trunk!" yelled the red head, a little to enthusiastic,
"Ya think!?" the rest of them replied at the same time.
Kim frowned but them smiled. "Okay… that was way freaky. It's not everyday that happens."
"Yeah right, with the life you lead as a globe trotter, I bet you seen freakier things." replied Bonnie.
"So not! Hey! I'm not completely out of business, Jim and Tim took over my spot. I still go on missions now and then, just not as often because I'm getting my education."
"Girls! Shut the hell up! We need to solve this problem to get on the road. We've already lost close to fifteen minuets." yelled Monique.
"Monique… language." said Mr. Possible.
"Sorry Mr. Possible. But seriously we gotta do something about this, c'mon here we are… four great minds. Surely we'll figure something out."
"Then you figure it out." countered Bonnie, while Monique glared at her.
"Girl… don't get me started…"
"Dad? Any ideas? This isn't rocket science… so I'm sure you must have some ideas…"
"That's the problem Kimmie… it isn't rocket science, so there is no way for me to figure this out."
Kim sighed and shook her head in pretend annoyance at her father's remark.. "I know!" she yelled. Everyone looked at her hoping to get the answer the were looking for. "Lets get everything off for a start…" she said with a smile as they all sighed.
And get everything off they did. They tried countless arrangements and they all failed. "Sorry Kim, but I think your fridge and microwave gotta stay" said Bonnie. Kim looked at her horrified, like Bonnie just told her that the world was going to end.
"No way! Nu-uh! Not gonna happen!" replied the red head, as she desperately hugged her fridge and microwave to protect them from Bonnie.
"Well you better think of something quick before I throw out your precious belongings, drag you into the car, strap you in, and drive away really fast." said bonnie.
"Ditto that" said Monique. " We have a long way to go and we already lost way to much time."
Just then it hit Kim. "Wait a minute. I'll just bring my bags in the back seat with me! There's more than enough room for them there!" She knew her plan would work, she crossed her arms, smirked, and stood up triumphantly as she looked back the rest of them. The rest of them just looked at her in disbelief , the youngest one out of all of them, yet she was able to come up with the simplest solution. To simple if you asked them.
"Alright then… take your bags in back Kim" said Bonnie handing Kim her bags and trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice, but failing drastically.
"With pleasure…" she said snatching the bags from Bonnie only to irk her more. "Dad? Can you be calling mom while I put my bags in the back?"
"Sure Kimmie- Cub, be back in a jiffy." replied Mr. Possible as he walked back into his house.
Kim arranged her bags in the bag so that the largest one was at the bottom. It was also the one that was filled with clothes. "Hmm… this one will work as a pillow for when I decide to take a nap" she said, talking to herself. She put the smaller on that was filled with cosmetics and what not on the floor next to her purse. As she climbed out of the car she noticed her parents coming out of the house.
"Hey mom-" was all Kim said before she got attacked by a bear hug from her mom.
"Oh Kimmie… I never… thought this day would come!" was what Mrs. Possible said in between sobs.
"Mom, it's okay… I'm gonna be okay…" is what Kim managed to get up before she got all choked up.
"But you're still my baby girl. Your barely seventeen. You should still be in high school…"
"Well… my mom is a brain surgeon and my father is a rocket scientist… you do the math. Besides I skipped two grades remember?" she said pushing her self away slightly from her mom and looking at her in the eyes and smiling.
"Your right… just be careful."
"Don't worry Mrs. P, well keep an eye on Kimmie for you. We'll even keep her out of trouble. Right Monique?"
"Right!"
"Thanks girls" She gave Kim one last hug and kiss and let her go. Then Mr. Possible came and did the same.
"Now Kimmie- Cub, I don't want you dating any boys without our consent first alright?" he said while braking their hug.
"Got it dad."
"Don't worry Mr. P Monique and I will get all the background info on him first before Kim even thinks about dating him!" she said looking at Mr. Possible who eyed her suspiciously. "That is, after we call you first… hehe…"
"Thank you Bonnie, I trust you will do just that" he said winking at her.
Bonnie and Monique both walked over to the adult Possibles and gave them each a hug, bonnie retreated back into her car and started it. While Monique stood by the right side of the car. Kim gave her parents one last hug and kiss and got in the back seat of the car. Monique pushed the seat back and got in as well.
"Bye girls! Drive safely! Call me when you get there Kimmie!" yelled Mrs. Possible as the car begun to move.
"Will do mom!" she screamed sticking half her body out the car pushing Monique's seat forward.
"Wait a second…" said Mr. Possible. "I didn't ask my Kimmie- Cub if she had her Kimmunicator!" and with he dashed after car waving his arms wildly. "Bonnie! Wait! WAIT!" he yelled in between pants. Bonnie saw Mr. Possible in the rearview mirror and screeched to a halt.
Mr. Possible finally reached the car looked at Kim. " Did you bring your Kimmunicator with you?" he asked gasping.
"Duh dad. Remember Wade gave you, mom, and the Tweebs one? Plus he gave Ron and me new ones. Dad are you okay? You looked like a distressed chicken back there."
"Fine and dandy Kimmie- Cub, I was trying to get your attention, is all. Alright then call us on our Kimmunicators later when you get there… or whenever you need us, doesn't matter the time."
"Will do… just promise me one thing dad."
"What's that?"
"Take care of yourself and say bye to the Tweebs for me."
"Will do…" he said winking and his daughter. " Alright then girls get a goin' you already lost enough time here as it is…"
"Yeah like almost an hour" Monique said.
"Forty-five Monique" Kim said.
"Like I said… 'almost'"
"Bye girls" Mr. Possible said as he stepped away from the car and waved as they drove off.
---(A small while later after leaving the Possible household)------------------------------------
"Hey Kim?"
"Yes bonnie?"
"How come Monique and me never got and of those fancy-smanchy 'Kimmunicators'? and how come Ron got one?"
" Because you two are gonna be there with me, that's why" she replied with a smile. "Besides we got cell phones right?"
"Uh, I guess, but what about Ron? He has a cell phone too"
"Yeah girl, what about Ron? Is he more special?" Monique inquired raising her right eyebrow slightly.
"Well…" Kim started.
"I knew it! You like him more than us! I thought we were best friends forever Kim!" Bonnie yelled.
"No no no! It's not like that! All of you are my best friends!" Kim said desperately trying to calm Bonnie down.
"Then why does he get one?" Bonnie asked with a smile that Kim failed to see. Monique snickered and Kim also failed to hear that.
"Because he went to that private ninja school in Japan. Remember? He told you two about it before he left. I believe it was called Yamanouchi. A Kimmunicator was the most convenient and cheapest way for us to keep in touch!" she said to Bonnie and Monique. Monique looked behind her and saw Kim's distressed look, it took all her will power for her not to crack a smile.
"Your lying girl" Monique finally said, looking at Kim straight in he eye.
"Monique is right Kim, I'm not buying any of this either… I don't even remember Ron telling us about this 'Yamanouchi' thing." Monique turned back to her original position to face the road. She and Bonnie exchanged quick smiles and glances. In the back seat, Kim stood quiet for about five minutes staring out the window. But to Kim it seemed like hours, until Bonnie finally broke the silence.
"Kim?"
"Yeah?" she asked, with a little fear in her voice.
"You know Monique and me were pulling your leg right?"
Kim had a confused look on her face. She let that last statement sink in for a few seconds. "Uhh…" was all Kim could say at the moment.
"Kim? You alright girl? We. Were. Kidding." asked Monique, and emphasizing on the word 'kidding'.
"Y-yeah… I was pulling your legs too. I wanted to let you think I got mad. Yeah, that's it. No one can fool me!" she said with her face turning back to normal.
"Mmm-hmm, and I'm the queen of England" replied Bonnie. "All three of us have know each other far to long and we know when we lie to each other… well except you Kimmie. You still some practice!" Bonnie said bursting out laughing with Monique joining her.
"I was testing you two" huffed Kim. "I'm gonna take a nap" she said unbuckling her seat belt and laying sideways on the seat, and placing her back to her friends. "Wake me up when you stop"
"Aye aye captain Kimmie" said Monique, saluting to Kim, even though the red head couldn't see her. All Monique got for a reply was a grunt, and she and Bonnie continued talking.
---(A few hours later; late morning)------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Monique did you see any signs of a rest stop?"
"Yeah, I think I saw one about five minuets ago… I think it said that there was gas station twenty miles away. So I guess we should be able to see it soon. Should I wake Kim up?"
"Good. 'Cause I really have to pee! And don't wake Kimmie up just yet…" she said with a smirk.
"And why shouldn't I wake her?" she asked with a smirk of her own, she liked where this was going.
"Oh… I think I might have an idea…"
The next few minutes was spent in silence between the two young women, the only noises were the car engine, the radio, and Kim's slight snoring. They finally saw the gas station on the side of the road in the distance.
"There it is, doesn't look to bad for being in the middle of nowhere. Hey! It even has a mini-mart! I'm gonna buy some snacks" said Bonnie excitedly.
"Terrific. Now hurry! Now I feel like my bladder is going to explode!"
"Well, Monique, why didn't you tell me you had to use the bathroom earlier?"
"Because I didn't want to waste time…"
"Oh, so you rather end up getting bladder cancer than waste time?" she asked with a smirk.
"Well, no. Wait is there such a thing as bladder cancer? Besides what's it matter now… were going to stop soon."
"Hmm… I don't know if there is such a thing, but here we are." she said parking the car. "Go first, by the looks of this place… it looks like the bathroom would be inside, not to shabby." she said rather amused.
"Alright I'll go first. What about Kim?"
"Don't worry about her, I'll stay with her while you go. Just don't shut the door too hard."
"She'll be pissed off if we don't wake her."
"Like I said, don't worry, we'll wake her up. Now go." Monique finally unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car shutting the door as quietly as possible.
Bonnie just motioned a 'keep going' hands movement as Monique looked back from the front of the car to look at her. Monique just sighed and continued on her way to the bathroom…
"Now for you…" Bonnie said turning her head back to look at Kim "You just keep your pretty little self sleeping like that for awhile longer." Bonnie turned her head back and unbuckled her seatbelt and sighed softly as she sunk into her seat a bit. A few minutes later Monique came out and knocked on Bonnie's window so she could go to the bathroom.
"I should warn you girl…" Monique started.
"About what?" Bonnie asked raising an eyebrow as she got out of the car.
"Two stalls." she said holding up two fingers. "Use the stall furthest away from the door, the closest one contains an unwanted surprise… plus it smells like something fierce in there…"
"Gross. Thanks for the warning… I guess I take back on my shabby comment. Oh, and don't wake up Kimmie just yet." she said while walking to the door,
"Alright… alright" was all Monique answered. She stood outside the car, slightly leaning on it and looked inside to see Kim. "I wonder what Bonnie has planned for you Kimmie… but it mustn't be good by the way she was smiling about it earlier... All I can say to you is good luck, and hope that I don't decide to help if she asks." she said talking to no one but herself.
A little while later Monique noticed Bonnie was taking so long "Damn that girl" she muttered under her breath, when Bonnie stepped out of the mini-mart. "Well speaking of the devil…" she said.
"Sorry I took so long, I was looking for something inside."
"Oh so you were taking your sweet time while I was out here? And you didn't buy anything!?"
"Relax. I found what I was looking for, and I'm gonna buy some stuff. But I came to ask you something first."
"And that is?" Monique asked with slight suspicion in her voice.
"Well… I noticed they sell easy cheese."
"Okay… so?"
"Well, what do you say if I buy a can and wake Kimmie up?"
"But I don't think Kim likes easy cheese…"
"Let's just say our little Kimmie trusts us a little to much" Bonnie answered with a glint in her eyes.
"Yeah I still don't get you girl. I'm still in vacation mode…" she said with a confused look.
Bonnie sighed. "We wake Kim up by making her put easy cheese on her face. First we put some easy cheese on one of her hands, one of us tickles her face, which causes her to swat at her face, thus putting easy cheese on her face… and she will most likely wake up! Besides, she didn't tell us how she wanted us to wake her up." she said smirking. "Well? What do you think?"
"Ohh…" she said grinning. "Kim is gonna hate us, but she's to easy. Go buy the can while I try to get one of her hands free."
"Gotcha… wait cheddar or nacho?" she said turning back to face Monique.
"Well considering that she loves to eat at Bueno Nacho… I'd say buy Nacho. We can at least let her benefit a bit out of it" she said with a chuckle.
Bonnie gave Monique a thumbs up signal and walked beck inside. While bonnie was inside Monique went to her current mission, get one of Kim's arms free. Monique eventually coaxed Kim to let one of her arms free, and even better, Kim was on her back with her left arm hanging. Bonnie was inside paying for her items when she decided to tell her about the restrooms.
"S'cuse me… Gretchen?" said Bonnie as she looked at the cashier's nametag.
"What can I do for ya hun?"
"Umm… your bathrooms stink like hell. You might want to clean them to keep up the customer satisfaction"
"No can do, not my job to do that." she answered as Bonnie gave her the money for Bonnie's purchase.
"Well, where's the janitor, or whoever cleans this place?" Bonnie asked annoyed, she even regretted even talking to the woman.
"Hank? He hasn't shown up in days, I'm assuming he quit."
"So the bathrooms haven't been cleaned?"
"Nope. I just applied to run the cashier." she replied in calm tone, if only to annoy Bonnie even more.
"Gross." was all Bonnie said, she grabbed her bag and went outside. She met up with Monique.
"Alright girl! Phase one complete!"
"Okay… I'll get on the passenger side to put some easy cheese of her hand and you get on the driver's side and tickle her face once I'm done. Okay?"
"Got it- wait. What am I gonna tickle her with?"
"Good question… With some of your hair, that should do it."
"My hair? Why not yours? You're the one that came up with this plan!"
"But you're the one that's going to tickle her."
"Your plan…"
"Judas Priest Monique! Here!" she said while handing Bonnie a hair strand.
"Thanks…" she said. They both in their positions and Monique tickled Kim's nose and Kim closed in on her own nose with her cheesed up hand and a dull 'splat' noise was heard. Followed by snickering and mumbling.
Kim finally returned to the land of the living and she instantly smelled cheese and felt an odd sensation oh her face. She opened her eyes and sat up to see Bonnie and Monique scramble out of the car laughing. She touched her face and saw the cheese on her hands and got a deep scowl on her face. She stepped out of the car saw Bonnie and Monique talking nonchalantly by the trunk as if noting was wrong. "BONNIE? MONIQUE?"
"Yes Kim- oh? What's with the scowl? If you keep doing that, your face is gonna stay like that" was all Bonnie said while Monique snickered behind her.
"Shut up, your not my mother. And stop acting stupid, you two know exactly what you did."
"How did you come to that conclusion?" Monique asked.
"Well duh. We're the only ones in the damn parking lot!" Kim screamed.
"Oh yeah…" Bonnie said. She failed to see that, since she was so caught up in her plans to prank Kim. "Run like hell Monique!" was all she said and she and Monique dashed in different directions.
"Oh no you don't!" screamed Kim and lunged after Bonnie. " I know this was your bright idea Bonnie!"
While Kim busied herself chasing Bonnie to the back the mini-mart, Monique took the chance of getting in the car to lock in herself from Kim's fury. In the back of the mini-mart, Bonnie was screaming as Kim scraped some cheese of her face and began using it as ammo against Bonnie. Bonnie ran back to front and noticed Monique in her car and motioned for Monique to open the door for her, but Monique just snicker and pointed behind Bonnie. Bonnie looked back and ran to the other side of the car to keep herself away from Kim. They ran around it a few times, until Kim just jumped over it and landed in front of Bonnie. She was about to get revenge on Bonnie when a car pulled in, then Kim dashed inside towards the bathroom. Bonnie then leaned on the car and was catching her breath back.
"Close call" was all Bonnie said as she got her breath back while Monique opened the door for her after awhile.
"Tell me about it… oww!! What the was that for!?" Monique asked after Bonnie smacked behind the head.
"For not opening the door!"
"Well… it was either you or me…"
"We could have gone together, we were in it together… whatever, here comes Kim"
"Hey Kim! I see you washed off the cheese, we used nacho." Monique said to her with a smile, she only got a grunt as a reply. Kim climbed in the back and Monique sat in the passengers seat. Once everyone was buckled up Bonnie started the car and they were on the road again.
They all spent a few minutes in uncomfortable silence. Both Bonnie and Monique could feel Kim's glare piercing the back of their heads. "So Kim… How did you know it was me who came up with that master plan?"
"Because you're the only one that ever come up with these 'master plans' of yours…Monique has never done a prank on me, only team up to help get me."
"Heh heh… now girl, that's not true" Monique said.
"Shut up Monique" was all Kim said.
"You do them to me because I'm the youngest huh Bonnie?" Kim asked. With a touch of anger in her voice.
"Not at all Kim, you're just to easy to fool that is." Bonnie answered.
"Well one day you WILL pay" Kim answered
Bonnie scoffed and rolled her eyes. "As if"
The three girls fell into silence and Monique turned the radio to a station they all liked. But Monique and Bonnie could still feel Kim's glare on the back of their heads.
---(A few hours later; afternoon)---------------------------------------------------------------------
The next few hours were uneventful. Both Bonnie and Monique kept trying to make small talk with Kim, but she was stubborn and refused to talk to her friends. Kim would just grunt, give a curt response, or pretend she didn't hear them. Kim just spent the time looking out he window looking at the scenery, if you could call it that. Most of it was just dry barren land with small shrubs here and there. But to Kim it was better to look outside that at her friends constant glances to the backseat, well mostly just Monique's. Somewhere along those few hours Kim's stomach growled loud enough for it to reach Bonnie's ears.
"Getting hungry there Kimmie?" Bonnie asked.
grunt
"When was the last time you ate?"
grunt
"You wanna stop somewhere and get some burgers?" Monique asked Kim.
mutter
"What was that Kim-Bo?" Bonnie asked.
mutter
"Speak up girl, me and Bonnie can't hear you"
mutter
"Freakin' speak up Kim! Stop looking out the damn window and talk towards our direction!" Bonnie screamed at Kim, if only to irk her more than what she was.
"I said YES! YES Bonnie STOP somewhere so WE can eat! I'm HUNGRY okay!? So PLEASE STOP somewhere!" Kim screamed at both moving her hands around dramatically and bulging her eyes out.
"Judas Priest Kim, take a chill pill… don't bite our heads off." Monique told her calmly while looking at her.
Kim just glared at Monique more intensely. Monique just rolled her eyes and turned around. Kim just chuckled inwardly while she kept glaring at Monique, Kim was sure enjoying this.
"Alright then Kim, now that you revealed the shock of the day to us, we'll stop somewhere. I think there's a town coming up pretty soon, so we'll stop at a diner and get a bite to eat." Bonnie said.
"Whatever" was all Kim said. She slouched in her seat, crossed her arms, and pouted. Awhile later Monique looked back and noticed Kim pouting, but she turned back again quickly, she didn't want see that pout to get to be full force… the puppy dog pout. Monique motioned to Bonnie to look at Kim by lifting her eyes and eyebrows. Bonnie finally caught on and looked at the rearview mirror. What Bonnie saw was Kim glaring at her, all Bonnie did was smile and go back to looking at the road.
They were all pretty much silent for awhile, that is until the town came into view. "Hey that must be the town" Monique said.
"No shit Sherlock…" said Bonnie smirking.
"You're so mean…" Monique said.
"You know I'm kiddin'… there's a sign coming up, check what the name is of this town. Kim you okay back there?"
grunt
"Uhh… Smallville? Wait… that can't be right." Monique said
"Smallville? Isn't that a show?" Bonnie said
"Yeah… that's so weird! Maybe that guy from the show will be here! He's hot you know."
"Yes Monique, I know he's hot. But I highly doubt that. So Kim what do you want to eat? Burgers?"
grunt
"Okay, burgers it is! Monique, do you even watch Smallville?" bonnie said.
"No… why do you ask?"
"Just curious. So you want some beef on a bun too?"
"Not when you put it that way girlfriend!"
"Whatever… help me look for a diner Monique, Kim doesn't seem to want to cooperate with us at the moment"
"Alright, hey look… there's a sign over there by your left, maybe it's a diner" Monique said pointing to a large red and yellow sign.
"Well, what's it say? I'm kinda busy at the moment… mainly because I'm DRIVING"
"Sheesh, my bad girlfriend! It says 'Dine and Go'. That must be our stop!"
"Okay then, that's our stop. Alright Kim?"
grunt
"Okay! There's fine right Monique?"
"Anything will do at the moment, look it also has a gas station, we can kill two birds with one stone!"
"Riiight… getting a little philosophical on me aren't you Monique?"
"Whatever.." was all Monique said and dismissed the comment with a wave of her hand.
Bonnie pulled into the parking lot of the diner. She got out of the car and stretched. Monique followed closely behind Bonnie, but she pushed her seat forward first to allow Kim to get out. Monique bent down and touched her toes while Kim stretched her back by bending back as far as she could, and making an arch with her body. Once they were all done, they went inside and the smell of cooking food attacked their noses. They looked around and saw that it had a few customers here and there. The lighting wasn't so high and they could hear a radio playing somewhere.
"Smells good huh?" Bonnie said asking Kim and Monique, but mainly just Monique.
"You bet it does! So where do we sit?" Monique asked.
"In a corner, so we can have some privacy" Bonnie told Monique.
They made their way to a booth that was in a corner that had a window. Kim scooted in first, Bonnie sat next to her, and Monique sat on the other side facing them.
"Comfy?" Bonnie asked Kim. She didn't get a response, just a glare.
"Afternoon ladies" said a middle aged woman as she gave all three of them menus. "My name's Penelope, can I get y'all anything do drink while you look at the menu?"
"Uh, yes. Can I have a diet Coke?" Bonnie said.
"Sorry hun, we don't have diet Coke. But we have diet Pepsi."
"That will be fine" Bonnie said, struggling to not roll her eyes.
"Make that two" Monique said.
"What about you red?" Penelope asked Kim.
"I'll take a lemonade" Kim answered.
"Alright, I'll be back in a jiffy" Penelope said, and she left to the kitchen.
"So she speaks!" Said Bonnie in an exaggerated tone.
Kim giggled and looked at her two friends. Both Bonnie and Monique exchanged confused glances and looked back at Kim. Kim saw their reactions and put a hand over her mouth to suppress her laughter.
"So… why the sudden change of character?" Monique inquired raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I though you hated out guts" Bonnie said.
"I thought we all knew each other" Kim said smiling broadly. "Like when know when were lying to each other, looks like I'm not the only one who need practice" Kim said while resting her head on her propped up right arm, and looking at her two friends.
"You got us good there girl" Monique said.
"Possible…" Bonnie said.
"Rockwaller.." Kim answered.
"You won this round fair and square. Not bad, not bad at all" Bonnie said, and put her hand out.
Kim shook Bonnie's hand and smiled. "I can't ever be mad at you two, or hold a grudge."
"It sure seemed like you could!" Monique answered.
"What can I say, taking drama in High School helped out" Kim said while she blew on her nails on her left hand and brushed them on her shirt. "Anyways, we should really check out the menu, well you two anyways. I'm getting a cheeseburger."
"More cheese?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes, more cheese" Kim said while eyeing Bonnie with suspicion.
"Same here" Monique said.
"Eh, me too" Bonnie said.
"Here y'all go" Penelope said and placed their drinks on the table. "So, what can get y'all?" she asked as she took a pen from her ear and a small pad from a pocket in her apron.
"We all want cheeseburgers" Bonnie said.
"Alright then I'll get your orders in and they'll be out soon" she said as she picked up the menus and walked off back towards the kitchen.
"Penelope… who names their kid that?" Bonnie asked.
"Apparently her mother does" Monique said while pointing her thumb towards Penelope.
"I think both of you failed to notice something" Kim said.
"What?" Bonnie and Monique asked at the same time.
"That our waitress 'Penelope' glared daggers at both of you while you bashed on her name" she said while she looked at Bonnie then at Monique in the eye. "Let's just hope she doesn't tell the chef to leave a little 'surprise' for you two" Kim said with a lazy smile.
"Eww… you best be lying girl." Monique said.
The girls spent the next twenty or so minuets making small talk while their burgers came. When their burgers finally came, Penelope looked a little too enthusiastic for their liking. So they all thanked Penelope and Monique and Bonnie went straight to inspecting their burgers, while Kim dug into her.
"Tastes great girls" Kim said in between bites.
"Yeah well it better, I'm afraid to eat it" Monique said.
Bonnie finally seemed to be satisfied from inspecting her burger. "All I know is that if I get explosive diarrhea, I'm blaming Kim" she said and took a bite.
"Eww Bonnie, not at the table!" Kim said disgusted.
Bonnie merely smirked and continued eating her burger. Monique joined them after she saw Bonnie eating her burger comfortably. They all finished awhile later and asked Penelope for the check.
"So… should we tip her?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah" Kim said.
"How much?" Monique asked.
"I don't know. You and Bonnie decide. I'll pay for our burgers."
"Aww, look Monique. I think Kimmie feels bad for what she did to us."
"So not Bonnie. What you two did earlier today was nothing compared to what I did" Kim said glaring at Bonnie.
I think five bucks will be enough, you okay with that Bonnie?" Monique asked.
"Yeah"
"Here's your check girls, have a wonderful day." Penelope said and left.
"So… how much is it?" Bonnie asked Kim.
"Exactly one Jackson" Kim said as she looked at the bill and checked the prices and addition.
"Huh?" Monique said.
Kim and Bonnie looked at Monique with 'are you kidding?' expressions. "Twenty dollars Monique…" Kim finally said.
"Oh… well excuse me for finding history boring!" Monique said. "I'm more into fashion, so shall we get going?"
"Yeah… I don't see how history and knowing the president on the twenty dollar bill relate… so five bucks it is?" Bonnie said as she put two dollars and fifty cents on the counter.
"Whatever Bonnie…where's the rest?" Monique asked.
"I think that's were you come in Monique." Kim said.
"Aww man!" was all Monique said as she got money out of her purse.
The three young women left the tip and check on the table and exited out of the diner and got in the car. Bonnie drove to the gas stationed and filled the tank, and they bought some more snacks and they were back on the road.
---(Awhile later)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all were silent for awhile. It was not an awkward silence either. They were just enjoying each others company while listening to a popular radio station. Bonnie was into the music and hummed and tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, while Monique attempted to dance in her seat. Kim just sat in the back and laughed at how goofy her friends were acting. Eventually Kim gave in and joined in in 'danced' with Monique, hey if you can't beat them join them! After a few songs Bonnie started to giggle uncontrollably.
"Mind telling us what's so funny?" Monique asked.
"Yeah, I want to know too"
"You sure you two want to know?" Bonnie asked as she looked at Monique with a mischievous grin.
"Yes! Please tell! I want to know! I want to know!" Kim said, putting her hands in a begging position and leaning frontward to be next to Bonnie.
"Kim shouldn't you be asleep?" Monique asked.
Kim frowned. "Not since what happened this morning! I refuse to go to sleep."
"Besides, I don't think I want to know now, especially how you looked at me" Monique said slightly panicked. "It's not about the burgers is it?"
"Oh dear no! Certainly not about that. But I guess I won't say since Monique seems to be afraid to know" Bonnie said in a mocking tone.
"No! tell us… me. I'll give you a dollar!" Kim said waving a dollar in front of Bonnie.
"Deal!"
"Oh boy…" was all Monique said as she smacked her forehead and dragged her hand down on her face.
"Well I seem to remember a party me and Monique went to… a house part actually. Brick was the host" Bonnie started.
"Were was I?" Kim asked.
"On a mission with Ron, I think you two went to Panama to stop Drakken and his henchmen from blowing up the canal to bits and pieces" Bonnie answered.
"Oh yeah, I remember now. Anyways please continue Bonnie, and sorry for the interruption" Kim said with false courtesy, to annoy Monique more.
"Yes, thank you. It was fun, I might add. Then some of Brick's idiot friends from the football team decided to bring some beer over. I knew I wasn't going to poison my system with that shit. But I wasn't to sure about Monique here" she said while jerking her thumb to Monique. "The brought a few cases and offered us a bottle, I declined. Monique was a different story."
Kim looked at Monique with an over exaggerated horror expression. "You drank alcohol!?" Kim asked.
"Only one bottle" Monique answered, then smiled unconvincingly.
"Oh! No, no, no… that my dear, is were you are wrong! I remember you drank God knows how many bottles after your first one. So many, that I lost count. You would just zone in and out on me after your first one. I had to have my arm around your waist so you wouldn't fall. Plus I had to keep an eye on you so no low life bastard would take advantage of you! I would try to take your 'tonic' as you called it that night, away from you. But you just got hostile. So I had no choice but to let you be."
"Are you serious?" Kim asked, clearly surprised.
"Dead serious, and that's not even the end of it."
"There's more!?" Monique asked horrified.
"Yes, like I said you would zone in and out. I had to leave you in someone's care, that was sober, so I could make a call to your mom and tell her you would be spending the night at my place."
"What did my mom say?"
"If you were alright, and where were you"
"What did you say?" Kim and Monique asked in union. Monique gave a quick glance to Kim, who only smiled, and looked back at Bonnie.
"That you were fine and you went to the store to buy more snacks and soda"
"She believed you!?" Monique asked.
"Obviously"
"So, tell us the rest of the night already! You won't get your dollar unless you finish the story."
"Fine. Well, we ended up leaving like around two in the morning, almost three. I had to get Brick to help me get little Monique here in the car. BUT before that she threw up everything she ate and DRANK that evening on Bricks lawn. Talk about embarrassing. The car ride wasn't any less embarrassing, well for me anyways."
"I like where this is going" Kim said with a smile. Monique just rolled her eyes and looked straight ahead at the road while Bonnie continued.
"On the way to my house she kept muttering something about breasts. Then I turned to look at her, and she was staring at MY breasts. I swear… I think I even saw a trickle of drool falling down the side of her mouth."
"Gross Monique! You were lusting after Bonnie!"
"Shut up Kim, I bet Bonnie is making half of this up"
"Don't believe me? Ask Brick. I'm sure he remembers, he might be stupid most of the time, but he was one of the few sober ones."
"No thanks. What about your folks? And sisters?"
"I thought so. My sisters were… are in college remember. Thank God they aren't going to Go University! My parents were away for the weekend. I pretty much had to baby you all day the next morning"
"That I remember… very bed hang over" Monique said.
"Glad you remembered SOMETHING" Bonnie said.
"Thanks, for taking care of me and stuff. I swear to never drink again" she muttered.
"Kim I think you owe me something"
"Right! Interesting story Bonnie!" Kim said as she handed Bonnie her dollar. Then they busted out laughing.
"Shut up. Both of you" Monique said as she turned to right side. "I'm gonna take a nap"
"You do that… what about you Kim?"
"No way! Not after what you did earlier!"
"No, go ahead. I've had my fun… for today that is"
"Fine. But you better not try anything funny. Are you gonna be okay by yourself?"
I'm not… I mean WE'RE not, right Monique?" Bonnie asked but just got a grunt for a response. "Besides if you feel the car swerving uncontrollably you'll know I'm not okay"
"Har Har Bonnie" Kim said with a serious expression. "Don't even kid about that, wake me up when we get to Go University 'k?"
"Will do Kimmie-Cub"
"Shut up Bonnie" Kim said as she laid down and put her back to Bonnie and Monique.
"You sleep to much Kim"
"I'm a growing girl, I need my rest"
"Right…"
"Goodnight Bonnie"
"Technically… It's not-"
"Goodnight Bonnie"
"Goodnight Kim"

NOTE X2: And thus I complete my first chapter! Woo yeah! So now you get to rate me, criticize me or leave what you thought. I hope this is way better than my other one… that's if you can remember what it said since I updated such a long time ago. So please review and say what could make me be a better writer for future chapters. Chapter 2 is getting a complete rewrite as well, and I hope it is longer, and that I can update more frequently since my schedule seems to be somewhat back to normal.
