Ron arose early the next morning and got ready to face a bold new world by himself. He ate a small breakfast of Toasty O's as his still felt sick to his stomach. He heard a car horn outside but thought nothing of it. After last night he knew he would be riding his painfully slow and antiquated Vespa scooter to school today.
The horn continued to blow as his father walked into the kitchen holding his sister Hana, "Ronald there is a girl in a white convertible waiting for you outside."
"Really?" Ron said in complete surprise.
He rose from the table and put his empty bowl in the sink. Grabbed his book bag and headed out the door to see Bonnie Rockwaller waiting on him. Ron stared in amazement at the beautiful brunette who sat behind the wheel of the gleaming BMW Z3 roadster.
Her clothing naturally was straight from Club Banana, white spaghetti string top paired with a black leather mini skirt, completely accessorized with a tennis bracelet and capped off with a pair of large round white sunglasses.
Ron stepped towards the car, "Wow Bonnie you look great."
Bonnie smirked, "I know, get in."
He opened the passenger side door and climbed into the small two seat sports car, "It's pretty overcast today, you sure you need to wear sunglasses?"
"You do if you were up half the night talking to your best friend and you need the sunglasses to hide the black circles under your eyes." Bonnie snipped.
Ron blinked, "I don't understand?"
"I told you I was going to call Tara last night after we got off the phone." Bonnie reminded him as she backed out of the driveway.
"Yea"
"Well she kept me up till 2 AM questioning me about what we talked about and if I thought you liked her, yadda, yadda, yadda."
Ron slumped low in his seat as they past the Possible's house, "...and you said?"
Bonnie stopped the car and lowered her sunglasses to narrow her eyes at him, "What do you think I told her?" She said becoming mildly tweaked.
"Uh Bonnie, that's Kim's house over there could you please keep driving?" Ron asked nervously.
She glanced over and saw Kim's Roth SL sitting in the driveway, "You aren't scared to let her see you riding to school with me are you?"
Ron sat up straight in his seat, "NO"
"Good, anyway Tara is so wanting you to ask her out tonight." She told him as she pulled away from the stop sign.
"BOOYAH" Ron said happily and then his shoulders slumped, "Oh...I told Kim I'd wait a while before I asked anybody out again."
Bonnie glanced over at him, "RON, are you ever going to be your own man or are just going to keep living in Kim's shadow?"
"I...I'm my own man." Ron said trying to sound convincing.
"Then ask Tara out tonight to the movies." Bonnie said as she was starting to become exasperated.
"No wait I work tonight...NO I don't work tonight...I'm going to do it, I'm going to ask Tara out." Ron said forcefully.
Bonnie wheeled into the school's parking lot, "That's what I want to hear and remember..." She paused until she was sure she had Ron's attention. Then she reached out and stroked his cheek with the back of her hand, "If things don't workout with Tara...I'm kind of between men now, and I promise you I can be more woman than Kim ever dreamed of being."
Ron's eyes lit up, "Oh...oh yea, oh man...You got it...ummm..."
"Get out of my car loser." Bonnie said softly.
"Oh...yea, right I...I have to go find Tara..." He said as he quickly exited the vehicle with his book bag.
Bonnie giggled to herself as Ron ran towards the school building, "He is so geeky...cute, but geeky."
He pulled Rufus from his pocket, "Can you believe that...Bonnie's interested in me?"
The sleeping rodent opened his eyes halfway, "Yuck" then went back to sleep.
He shook his head, "Still too early to try and impress you." He said as he put Rufus back in his pocket.
Ron quickly navigated his way to his locker and found a person he wasn't expecting waiting for him. He slowed his pace down wondering just how much trouble she was going to give him, "Ha...Hi Monique..." He said nervously.
"Boy is you out of your mind?"
"Ummm...I...maybe."
Monique rolled her eyes, "You know how long I waited for you two to get together?"
"No..."
"Nearly..." Monique rolled her eyes towards the ceiling as she thought it over, "...Well, long enough and here you have to break up with her last night. Are you crazy?"
"Uh"
Monique wrapped her arms around his shoulders and backed him into the lockers, "Well now that you're thru messing around with little girls...You think your ready to step up to a real woman."
Ron's eyes grew big as his backpack tumbled to the ground, "Huh?"
"Come on Ron I see the way you were undressing me with your eyes at lunch yesterday, the way you were ogling my large firm breasts at Bueno Nacho last week... You were sucking down those Naco's and I know you wanted to be sucking on...other things." Monique said in a very low sultry voice.
"Uh..." Ron tried to speak as sweat broke out on his upper lip.
Monique leaned forward and licked the tip of his nose, "You just let me know when you're ready to give a proud sister a try...Alright."
Ron grinned at the unexpected display of affection from Kim's best friend until he saw a certain best friend walk up behind Monique, "Uhhhhhhhhhh"
The mood change was not lost on Monique who smiled sickly, "Kim's right behind me isn't she?" Ron nodded vigorously before Monique released him from the hug, "Well ear canals look clean to me Ron. You shouldn't have any worries about waxy build up."
She quickly turned and saw Kim glaring at her with her hands on her hips, "Oh hi Kim...Just helping Ron with a little hygiene exercise...Well see you at work." She said trying to sound cheery before walking quickly away down the hallway.
Kim smirked at Ron, "I thought you said you were going to wait a while before asking anyone out?"
Ron blinked, "Oh...uh...I didn't ask Monique out...uh..."
"Hi Ronnie" A brown haired girl passed and gave him a playful wink.
"Oh hi Amanda." Ron said smiling at her as she winked at her.
Kim shook her head, "I don't believe it."
"What, that other girls might like me?" Ron said defensively.
"NO, that you'd openly flirt with other girls in front of me." Kim said angrily.
"Nooooo, meeee, nooooooo, I wasn't flirting...I was, I was just saying hello."
Kim was unconvinced, "Uh huh"
Ron quickly looked at his watch, "Oh my look at the time. I'll see you later KP." He said as he quickly picked up his book bag and ran towards his first class of the day.
Kim shook her head as she watched him disappear down the hallway, "Time to have a nice long chat with Monique about just who's property Ron is, put Amanda Wills on the list with Tara and Bonnie...And who is that he's talking to now? Emily? Emily, oh you are going to be so pounded." She thought as she could see Ron talking to another girl at the other end of the hall.
Ron quickly broke off his conversation with Emily Postner, "OK, Emily I'll look you up the next time I'm at Dairy Barn." He said happily as he turned the corner to escape the long gaze of Kim and now he ran directly into another unexpected female.
"Aughhhhhhhh, Yori, unexpected surprise...seeing you...here...in non ninja attire." Ron said nervously looking around to see if Kim was watching him.
Yori dressed in a conservative plaid skirt and white top of a Japanese school girl. She bowed, "Stoppable San, your help is required. You must protect the island of the virgins."
Ron blushed and giggled as he began to rub the back of his head, "I don't know Yori...I...I mean I'm all about...When I was locked up in that drunk didn't you say they were naked?
"Of course Stoppable San."
He blinked at her twice, "They are all...uh...how shall we say politely...uhh...homely then?"
Yori shook her head, "No each one was chosen for the island according to their pleasing appearance and agreeable personality."
"Uh huh...and you want ME to guard and protect them?" Ron requested confirmation before he would accept the most dangerous assignment of his life.
"Yes"
Ron looked heavenward, "THANK YOU GOD!"
Yori put her hand in over her mouth as she giggled, "You have clearly mastered the American style sense of humor."
"How long will this mission take?" Ron asked thinking there might be a catch to the whole plan.
"You will only be required until the proper guardian can assume the post at the end of this weekend." Yori assured him.
"When do we leave?"
Yori smiled, "Tomorrow morning."
Ron nodded, "Will I need to bring anything special, clothes, toothpaste, razor, beer, condoms?"
"You will not need to bring much as you too will also be nude." Yori explained.
"Wait...ME...naked with naked virgin girls?" Ron said again in disbelief.
"Yes"
Ron looked heavenward again, "THANK YOU, THANK YOU GOD!"
When he looked down again the ninja was gone. Ron looked around in confusion, "Was I just imagining this?"
"Lost Ron?"
His mind snapped back to reality, "Oh...no...KP, I was just..."
Kim shook her head, "Class is this way. What would you do without me...Oh yea I guess we're going to find out." She said bitterly.
Ron wiped his face as he continued to look for Yori but he spotted Tara instead, "You go on KP, I'll catch up." He said as he made his way towards the perky blonde cheerleader.
Kim saw Tara too and she just shook her head as she walked towards their Social Studies class, "Fine"
"Hey Tara" Ron said as he approached her nervously.
"Hi Ronnie" She said as she waved and looked adoringly at him.
Ron smiled, "Uh...Kim...listen...uh Kim and I kind of broke up...last night and I was wondering..."
"YES" Tara said breathlessly before Ron could even ask her out.
"You would...that's great." Ron said happily.
"Tonight?" Tara asked
"Yes" Ron replied.
"What time are you picking me up?" She asked.
Ron shook his head, "Sorry no wheels."
Tara didn't miss a beat, "I'll pick you up at six and we can go see the 'Virgin Ax Murders' at the movies."
He swallowed hard, "Maybe...something funny." He suggested.
"How about American Virgin 3?" Tara suggested.
"Uh...OK...I got to run before..." The bell rang signaling the beginning of class.
Tara smiled, "We're both late." Then she leaned forward kissed Ron on the lips before turning and running for her class.
Ron walked into the Social Studies class and sat down in his usual seat next to Kim, who stared daggers at him.
"Stoppable are you listening to me?"
Ron looked up to see Mr. Barkin glaring at him, "Oh, yea...I'm listening."
"Good now wipe that lipstick off your lips and sign the tardy slip." He said as he shoved a yellow piece of paper in front of him.
He wiped his mouth off on sleeve and quickly signed the paper. Kim leaned over, "Well I hope it was worth it."
Ron grinned, "Oh yea, it was worth it."
"I had the best date ever Ronnie." Tara said happily as he continued to kiss him as they sat in front of Ron's house.
"I had a great time too, I...I wish the night didn't have to end." Ron said happily as he began kissing Tara again.
Little did the couple know that they were being observed from down the street. Kim Possible sat in the window of her room with a pair of Bushnell binoculars, "Twelve, thirteen...How long are you two going to keep kissing? Oh no...Tongues...Ron do know how unhygienic that is?"
Kim peered thru the field glasses and frowned, "She is not letting him touch her...She is! Tara you are so dead."
She lowered the binoculars, her green eyes aflame with jealousy, "Ron Stoppable...You are so not my best friend anymore." She said bitterly.
"Wade you there?" She barked into her wrist Kimmunicator.
"I...I'm here Kim." The fourteen year old computer genius confirmed.
"He'll be making a call soon, tap me in." She told him.
"Kim this is wrong..."
"Don't tell me what it is, JUST DO IT!" Kim barked.
"He's placing a call now." Wade said his voice clearly showing his displeasure at what Kim was having him do.
"Bonnie"
"Yes"
"Hook me up Wade."
Kim waited for her cell phone to ring. Once it rang she answered it quickly and put her phone to mute. She heard Bonnie's voice on the other end of the call.
"Hang on I can't talk to both you at once...Let me do a three way here."
She could hear Ron laughing in the background and then Bonnie's voice again, "Tara you there?"
"Yes" She heard Tara reply.
"Ron are you there?"
"Booyah"
Kim rolled her eyes, "Yep he's there." She said to herself.
"So how'd you kids do tonight?" Bonnie chuckled at herself for calling Ron and Tara kids.
"I had a blast." Ron said.
"I did too." Tara replied.
Kim stuck out her tongue.
"So Ron, was Tara much different than Kim?" Bonnie inquired.
"Oh yea, I was so nervous standing in line for the movies...I reached out and took Tara's hand and she didn't try to put a judo move on me...It was great." Ron said excitedly.
"He was so cute he was shaking when he took my hand." Tara filled in her friend.
Bonnie giggled, "He was probably afraid you were going to break his arm like Kim tried to."
Kim's nostrils flared, "It wasn't his arm it was his thumb...and no I didn't try and break it...just applied enough pressure to get his attention."
"Then we moved into the theater and...Did you know those armrests flip up? I didn't know that until Tara showed me." Ron explained.
"Well no duh' Ron. I thought everyone knew that."
Kim blinked, "I didn't know that." She whispered out loud.
Tara giggled on her end, "I lifted the arm up and cuddled up next to Ron."
"Oh yea that was so great." Ron exclaimed.
"So Ron do you still love Kim?" Bonnie asked.
Kim sat up straight waiting for the answer.
Ron's voice had lost a lot of it's chipper edge, "No offense Tara...Your pretty awesome but me and Kim just went through so much together...If she would have touched me a third as much as you did tonight over the course of the year...I'd of been happy. So I guess I still do love Kim."
Kim sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye, "Thanks Ron, your still my best friend. I...I was only doing what the book said to do." She said quietly.
"I...I don't mind Ronnie after all it was only our first date." Tara said with a touch of sadness to her voice.
"Yea...about that Tara...I get off around three tomorrow...Want to go with me to Roller World?"
Kim's eyebrow shot up, "You never took me roller skating."
Bonnie broke in before Tara could answer, "Hold on, hold on...You mean to tell me the reason you broke up with Kim wasn't because she wouldn't have sex with you but because she wouldn't cuddle with you?"
There was no answer forth coming and Kim began to squirm, "I...dad gave me the book...It didn't say anything in it about cuddling."
"I'll go roller skating with you tomorrow Ronnie."
"Booyah" Ron said happily.
"Ron, answer the question."
"No comment Bonnie"
"Good for you Ron." Kim said out loud.
"I mean we would have had to break up eventually anyway." Ron said sadly.
Kim's ears picked up, "We would have?"
"Why?" Bonnie asked.
There was silence for a moment, "Well Kim applied to all these schools in Europe and my grades aren't all that good...and now that my parents have adopted Hana they really don't have the money to pay for me to go to school over there." Ron told Tara and Bonnie sadly.
"I...I never thought of that." Kim gasped.
"So what are you going to do after you graduate Ronnie?" Tara asked.
"There's this recruiter from North Dakota State University that is coming to dinner next week...Since I had that good year as a tail back I think they're going to offer me a scholarship." Ron said trying to sound excited.
Kim could tell he wasn't, "He really didn't enjoy football that much. He liked the attention but not getting hit."
"North Dakota...Ron do you realize how cold it is up there in the winter?"
"They're the only ones interested in me Bonnie."
"I'm interested in you Ronnie." Tara said eagerly.
"DUH" Kim said out loud.
"Thanks Tara." Ron said trying to hide the embarrassment in his voice.
"What are you going to major in Ronnie?" Tara asked.
"I don't know...Business Administration or something?" Ron said sadly.
"So Ron...Kim's a lesbian, yes or no?"
Kim hung up the phone just as Bonnie was starting to speculate that she was a lesbian, "Sorry Bonnie, I've heard that one too many times before. So not into girls...I have to find that book." She said as she pulled a small pink suit case out from under her bed.
Her Kimmunicator beeped again and she answered, "Yea Wade"
"Kim, I'm not doing this for you again. OK, it's wrong."
She nodded her head, "I know it is...I won't ask you again Wade."
"Alright, nite"
"Nite" Kim said as she signed off.
She finally found what she was looking for, a weather beaten hard back book that had nearly every page dog eared from being read and reread. The cover was just barely readable, "Walt Disney Publications Presents Proper Dating Behavior for Young Ladies, by Dr. Gertrude Stern."
Kim quickly thumbed thru the pages, "Carriage, corsage, curfew...Daddy highlighted that one for me...Nope, nothing about cuddling." She whispered to herself.
She smiled as she flipped thru her favorite chapter, "If a young man becomes too amorous strike him firmly on the nose with a rolled up newspaper...I thought a hammerlock would be better. Maybe I should have used the newspaper?" She mused.
She frowned and turned back to the first few pages, "Sixth Printing Copyright 1947...1947? Oh my God this book is sixty years old...No wonder Ron thinks I'm a prude...I'll have to tell him it's not the case...I was using an old dating manual. This is the year 2007 and a boy should be able to fondle my butt if I really want him too."
"Come on Bonnie, Kim isn't gay." Ron said again as he defended his old girlfriend.
"Don't worry Ronnie. If Kim's gay, she's gay it has nothing to do with you as a man." Tara said trying to help defuse the argument.
Ron laughed, "Thanks Tara..."
"I think you proved you aren't gay tonight the way you grabbed my..."
"Tara you let him grab the goodies on the first date?" Bonnie interrupted.
"Oh Bonnie you should have seen the size of the bulge in his pants." Tara said breathlessly.
"So Ron's well hung?"
"Oh my yes!" Tara exclaimed.
Ron squirmed not feeling comfortable with the way the girl talk was headed, "Ah...I have to go...I have to get up early for Smarty Mart." Ron said nervously.
"OK, bye Ronnie, see you tomorrow." Tara said.
"Call me when you guys get done...I want another blow by blow story." Bonnie said as the two girls broke into laughter as Ron hung up the phone.
Ron shook his head and snickered, "I think the lump she was feeling was you buddy." He said as he pulled Rufus from his pocket and sat him on his dresser.
He watched Rufus yawn and then tilt his head and rub his eyes. Ron turned and looked behind him before letting out a scream, "Aiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The nimble young ninja tilted her head, "You practice your screams of courage at this hour?"
Ron put a hand over his heart, "Yes, yes I do...No hour is the wrong hour for a good...scream of courage."
"It is time for us to leave Stoppable San." Yori said patiently.
"Uh, yea well I..." Ron stammered as he tried to think of a way out of going so he could continue to date Tara.
Yori stepped forward and put his hand on his chest, "Stoppable San...You are needed."
"It's not tomorrow morning?" Ron tried to point out quickly.
"It is 12:06 AM Saturday morning Stoppable San."
"Well you got me there." Ron said before turning his attention to Rufus, "I have to go away for a while buddy and I can't take you. The ladies want me naked so there's only two places I can keep you and I don't think you want to venture into either of those." He explained with a grin.
Rufus looked up at his master questioning what he was saying and then suddenly realizing what the two places of concealment could be, "Nuh huh"
He turned back to Yori, "I'm ready."
Yori bowed, "The virgins will be very grateful."
Ron nodded, "Yea the sacrifices I have to make for Yamanouchi."
