I just wat to say thanks again for all of those who wrote reviews for me! I really appreciate it!

"Here, try this one," Monique told Kim. It was a Saturday and they'd been shopping at the mall all day while Brick, Felix, and Ron played video games at Brick's house. He had the 'ultimate gaming system' according to Ron. Later they were supposed to go swimming in Brick's pool, and Monique was currently pushing Kim to get a new, more revealing bikini. Monique held up a barely there white bikini for Kim to try on.

"Have you lost your mind?" Kim cried, "I'm not wearing that! You'll be able to see everything once I get wet!"

"That's kind of the point," Monique smiled slyly at Kim's shocked expression.

"No," Kim stated firmly after a moment.

"Uggghhh. Fine," Monique said and instead held up a pretty green bikini. She hadn't really expected Kim to go for the white one anyway. She just liked pulling her leg, "How about this one instead? Seems more your style."

"Okay, hand it over," Kim replied. Monique threw it over the door as Kim stepped into the Club Banana fitting room. She slipped into it and stared at herself critically in the full length mirror. She had to admit, it showed off her body perfectly. It hugged every curve of her body and showed off her flat taut stomach without giving away too much. The rich green color matched her eyes perfectly and seemed to make them sparkle and glow while setting her hair aflame. She turned around and saw that it also accentuated her butt expertly. She smiled to herself, imagining Ron's reaction. She stepped out of the dressing room somewhat self-consciously.

Monique could only gape as she stared at her best girlfriend. "OMG! You look uuhh-mazing girl!" she squealed and Kim couldn't help but smile, "I'm so jealous! I'd give anything to have your flat abs and tight butt!"

"Well, I guess we're even in the jealousy department because I sure as hell wouldn't mind having your bust line," Kim proclaimed, gesturing towards her b-cups. But she was just joking now that she knew Ron preferred her more modest cup size.

"Oh please girl. You have a kickin bod and you know it! You are so getting that suit!" Monique exclaimed, and Kim knew that even if she didn't agree, Monique would make her buy it anyway.

Ron was running through a dark alley. Shadows loomed on either side of him and the sound of his feet pounding against the concrete was magnified by the complete silence surrounding him. Tiny beads of sweat began to poor down his face as he risked a look behind him. Seeing nothing, he quickened his pace and faced forward again. THWAAP! He slammed into something hard as rock. He was knocked to the ground and looked up to see a solid zombie standing above him. He gazed at his surroundings and noticed that there were a dozen or so zombies closing in on him, arms reaching out to grope him. He lifted up his sword, trying desperately to fend them off. He was wearing out quickly and knew the end was near. He was battling with a groaning zombie in front of him when he felt a hard hit to the back of his head. He turned around dazedly. All he saw was a rotted fist before he blacked out.

GAME OVER flashed on the screen as Ron cried, "Oh man!"

"Haha!" Felix cried, "You still haven't beaten my high score!"

"Stupid controller," Ron grumbled. He was sitting on the floor of Brick's living room with his back propped up against the couch.

"My turn!" cried Brick, snatching the controller from Ron's hands.

"Hello, handsome, handsomer, and handsomest," a voice called from the front door.

They all turned to see Kim walking in the doorway, arms full of shopping bags and followed shortly by Monique.

"Hey KP!" Ron's face lit up at the sight of his girlfriend, "What'd you get?"

Kim sat all of her shopping bags down on Brick's table before heading towards the couch. "Oh, clothes and stuff," she vaguely replied. She bent down to give Ron a kiss on the cheek before placing herself behind him on the couch. Her fingers began to run themselves through Ron's golden hair as Monique came to sit next to Brick.

"Zombie Mayhem again?" Kim asked.

"Yeah," Ron replied, tilting his head back to smile up at her lovingly, "I'm not even trying and I've already kicked some major Felix butt. I'm bored as hell."

"Whatever, dude," Felix scoffed, "You so know I'm the superior gamer."

"And," Ron continued, ignoring Felix, "I'm in need of a proper hello kiss from my badical GF to excite things up a bit."

Then, to Kim's surprise, Ron effortlessly reached up behind his head, grabbed her around the waist, and lifted her up and over his head to sit her in his lap. She couldn't help but give a little surprised gasp.

"Geez, Ron," Kim said, "How in the heck did you do that?"

"What? You only way like a hundred and five pounds and I can bench press at least 170!" Ron exclaimed, jokingly flexing his muscles. But to Kim, it was no joke. Where as before it would have been kind of funny, now it really did show off his muscles which Kim couldn't help but think were extremely sexy.

"Anyway. I didn't pull you down here to talk about my mad muscles," Ron said slyly. He encircled her in his arms before pulling her head to his and giving her a long tender kiss. He felt the familiar dizzy sensation wash over him as he held her against him, and she responded accordingly, pressing her body even tighter into his.

They were finally forced to pull apart due to the fact that they still needed to breath. Kim settled her head down on Ron's chest and kissed right below his jawbone, relaxing in his firm yet gentle grip.

It was Ron's turn to stroke Kim's glorious red hair with one hand while the other wrapped around her, holding her to him.

"Hmmm, mmmm," Monique cleared her throat.

"Problem, Mon?" Kim calmly asked, perfectly relaxed.

"I would just like to get out to the pool before the sun goes down waiting for you two to stop fondling each other," she replied.

"Yeah, way to ruin the moment," Ron joked.

"Oh crap!" Felix exclaimed, looking at his watch, "I'm late to go meet Tara! Sorry guys I gotta run!"

"Just try to keep your hands to yourself lover boy!" Monique called as he ran out the front door.

Felix and Tara had been dating for about 3 weeks, and things were starting to heat up between them. Even though Kim thought they made a cute couple, she wasn't sure if their relationship would last. It was almost purely physical because Tara and Felix had practically nothing in common. Regardless, she was rooting for both of her friends anyway because, from what she'd seen, they made each other happy.

Kim got up off of Ron and turned around to help him to his feet.

"Well let's go change into our swimsuits girl," Monique proposed, giving Kim a sly smile that did not go unnoticed by Ron or Brick.

"Hey what's with the smile?" Ron asked her suspiciously.

Monique's face was the picture of innocence as she asked, "What smile?"

"The one you just gave Kim?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. She didn't give me a smile," Kim answered with a smile of her own, "Paranoid much?"

"No! I just saw her give you a funny smile!" he said exasperated.

"Sorry Ron. You must be seeing things," Monique told him, with a dismissing wave of her hand.

"Ugh! Fine," he exclaimed, admitting defeat. There was no way he was getting anything out of them if they were planning something.

"We'll go change too," Brick said heading towards his bedroom.

"See you boys out at the pool," Kim sing-songed before slipping into the bathroom.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"It's perfect," Brick pronounced after dipping his toe into the pool water. The water was a clear blue, matching the color of the sky spectacularly. It was also the perfect temperature; cold enough it was refreshing, but not so cold that you got goose bumps.

Ron responded by running past him and cannonballing into the water. Brick gave a little shrug before following his example.

Once they broke the surface, Brick turned to Ron, a serious expression on his face.

"Hey, Ron…Can I ask you a question?" Brick asked.

"Fire away," Ron responded while floating lazily on his back.

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to or anything," Brick said nervously. Ron just nodded his head okay and Brick continued, "I was wondering if…uh…you and Kim have…um…you know…"

"Not following here."

"If you and Kim have…um…well…had…um…had sex yet?" Brick stammered.

That got Ron's full attention. He jerked up out of his lazy position and shot Brick a suspicious look, "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I've kinda been thinking about…you know…me and Monique, and I was wondering if…uh…you and Kim have done It yet," Brick struggled to find the right words as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, no. We haven't," Ron answered, "but that doesn't mean we haven't done anything yet. We're just trying to save the actual deed until we get married. Ya know?"

"Yeah."

"So what brought this up?" Ron's curiosity was officially piqued.

"Well I think Monique and I are ready, but…I don't know…we've only been together for about 4 months. I mean, I feel like I'm ready but…that's not that long," Brick explained.

"Well you guys have been going out for as long as KP and I have been, and you seemed kinda surprised when I told you we hadn't done It," Ron reasoned.

"Yeah, but Monique and I haven't been best friends for 14 years, either," Brick said.

"Touche,"

"So…what do you think I should do?" Brick asked.

"You should talk to Monique about it," Ron replied quickly. He was feeling very wise, giving Brick advice on girls. In fact he had to suppress a giggle at the bizarreness of it, "Kim and I have, and that's how we decided we were going to try and wait until we get married. But that doesn't mean you have to feel guilty every time you think about it or get…um…an urge. I mean, she's still you're girlfriend and, chances are, she feels the same way."

"Good," Brick said relieved, "So you have those…urges…too?"

"Sha. I don't know how you couldn't with KP as your girlfriend. She gets this evil little glint in her eye whenever she gets turned on, and her voice gets all husky and… anyway, sometimes I don't think I'm going to be able to wait. Sometimes I just want to say 'screw it' and do it right here and now."

Ron turned to look at Brick, but found that his eyes were directed to the doorway instead of him. Ron also noticed that his mouth was absolutely gaping open. Ron followed Brick's gaze to the patio…and felt as though he'd been sucker punched in the gut.

"Kind of like right now," he whispered, awestruck.

Kim stood there saucily, hands on hips. The evil glint Ron had just been talking about was currently present in her eyes, and a smile tugged at her lips at Ron and Brick's reaction.

She was wearing her new bathing suit…and looked like a goddess come to life. Brick and Ron could only stare, minds blank.

"Dude," Ron whispered to Brick, not once taking his eyes off Kim, "You're supposed to be looking at Monique."

"Uh…right," Brick whispered back. But his eyes kept involuntarily traveling back to Kim's sexy physique.

Ron let his eyes travel slowly up her body, drinking in every ounce of her. Her cute little feet, her shapely toned legs, her soft defined hips, dipping into her tiny waist with her adorable belly button, roaming up her flat as a pancake abs, her perky chest with her slight cleavage, her long graceful neck, her soft full pink lips, her tiny ski-slope nose, her sly green eyes accentuated by the color of the swimsuit, and her gorgeous fiery red locks falling sexily in front of one eye.

Monique walked over to Brick, who was currently doing the same thing that Ron was, eye-raping Kim. She actually didn't feel all that jealous; she was satisfied knowing that she'd done her job well.

"Monique, you hooked Kim up," Brick complimented, still awestruck by Kim, "I mean, I knew she was hot, but she's always been to shy to show it before. Probably a good thing too, or Ron would have some serious competition, not that he already doesn't."

"Have to agree with you there, big boy," Monique admitted, "Must be all the world saving she does. She says she does at least 20 hours of intense training a week, not including missions. She's started to take Ron with her too, that's why he's bulked up a bit. I don't get jealous easily, but I know I'd give anything to have her butt and abs."

"She's hot Monique, but you are too…just in a different way. You do know that I wouldn't have you any other way?" Brick asked, "Well I guess I wouldn't mind you with Possible's ass."

Monique looked at Brick and saw that he was smiling teasingly.

"Oh you!" she said, trying to dunk him, but unable to because 1) he was too strong for her to ever force him anywhere and 2) she couldn't swim and was a little afraid of the water.

Meanwhile, Ron continued to stare at Kim as she sauntered over to him, hips swaying enticingly.

"Eyes Ronnie," she reminded him with a sexy smile.

Ron quickly locked his chocolate brown eyes onto her bright green ones, "KP…you look….uh…wow…amazing doesn't even begin to describe it…wow. I'd say beautiful, but that's not even close either. Gorgeous, maybe?"

Kim smiled at him, "Thanks, Ronnie. You're so sweet." She bent down and game him a soft peck on the lips before sauntering over to the diving board.

Monique was clinging to Brick, "I hate this. I'm afraid to let the water go over my head."

"You just got to do it," Brick told her, "It's not gonna hurt you. Here, let's go under. On the count of three. 1...2..."

"No, no, no!" Monique screamed, squeezing Brick as tight as she could. Brick just sighed, but didn't take her under .

Ron caught a secretive smile from Kim and quickly followed her to the diving board. They sneakily crept up to the ladder without making a sound, which was easy for them considering they had to do it on a daily basis. Ron gave Kim a sly look before climbing up the ladder. He gasped a little as he felt a sharp pinch on his butt cheek, and turned around to see Kim's grinning face looking up at him. The mock scolding look he gave her did nothing to stop her from giggling silently. Ron was trying not to laugh too, but more because of what they were about to do than Kim pinching his butt.

They heard him before they saw him.

"CANNONBALL!" Ron shouted, as he ran the length of the diving board and plunged into the pool.

Monique only had time to scream as a huge splash hit her in the face full-on. She came up coughing, and Brick immediately lifted her high enough to catch her breath.

"STOPPABLE!" she screeched, "Once I'm back on dry land, you are so dead!"

Ron was just laughing hysterically and looking up at the diving board. Monique followed his gaze just in time to see Kim take a running hop-skip before using all of her leg muscles to bounce high into the air. She twisted and turned her body to do a perfectly executed triple back flip before wrapping her arms around her legs and shouting "Cannonball!" gleefully.

As Kim's body made contact with the water, a much smaller wave splashed over Monique, but it still caused her to sputter and cough up water.

"You two are so dead!" she screamed. She turned angrily to the two to see them trying to hide their giggles behind their hands. Kim swam lazily over to Ron, laughing the whole way.

"Sorry, Mon," Kim apologized, clamping her legs tightly around Ron's waist and her arms around his neck, "But I just couldn't resist."

Ron's body instantly responded to hers and his arms seemed to wrap around her waist of their own accord. "Yeah, won't happen again," Ron grinned.

"You better hope it doesn't, or you two won't live to see tomorrow," Monique threatened.

Kim tried to hide her giggles by burying her head into Ron's neck.

"Uh oh," Brick said, mock angry, "You've made my girlfriend mad. Now you're gonna get it. Kimberly Anne Possible, I hereby challenge you to a race."

"Oh. And what are the stakes?" Kim asked confidently, still in Ron's arms.

"Hmmm…," Brick considered his options, "How about, if I win you have to wear that bikini for the rest of the day, including when we play football later."

"Well…Alright," Kim agreed reluctantly, "But if I win you have to go to Victoria's Secret, buy a thong and bra, and wear them around the mall, screaming 'I'm Brick Flag and I got my ass kicked by a girl!'"

"You drive a hard bargain Possible, but deal," Brick said, after thinking it through. They shook on it, each with a huge confident smile on their face.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So you're seriously doing this?" Ron asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yep," Brick answered.

Ron gave him a disbelieving look, "You know she's going to kick your ass right? She used to be the best swimmer on the swim team before she had to quit so she had enough time to do missions."

Brick just shrugged, a little less confident than before. They were going to have a swimming race. They had to dive off of the diving board, swim down to the very far opposite end of the pool, and then swim back. Whoever got done first, won.

Kim walked up to them by the side of the diving board right at that moment.

"Ready to lose, big boy?" she asked Brick smugly, hugging Ron around the waist.

Hearing what Kim was saying, Monique walked up to them and replied, "You're the one who's gonna lose, Miss I Can Do Anything. There's no way my man is gonna run through the mall in a bra and thong."

"You said it yourself Mon; I can do anything. That includes beating the Hulk in a race," Kim smiled good-naturedly.

"Well I've got the best cheer squad ever to cheer me on," Brick said, gesturing towards Monique.

"Puh-lease. First of all, Monique is just one person, therefore she's not a cheer squad. And second of all, I've got the former Middleton Mad Dog to cheer me on. There's no way I can lose," Kim boasted. She looked back at Ron and gave him a huge grin, which he returned.

"You just wait Kim," Brick warned, "I'm going to sneak up on you, and get you good when you least expect it."

Kim shook her head no and was just about to reply when Brick, gently but firmly picked her up and held her above his head effortlessly. She gave a surprised scream as Brick, as softly as he could, threw her into the pool.

It all seemed to happen in a split second. She came up splashing, just in time to see Brad rush through the gate, to her and everyone else's complete surprise. Seeing Kim sputtering, he gracefully dove into the pool and quickly swam towards her. Scooping her up, he threw her over his shoulder, and preceded to swim her back to the edge. He climbed out with her still draped over his shoulder and set her down tenderly on the concrete.

"B…Brad?," Kim asked disbelievingly, "What are you doing?"

Brad kneeled down beside her with concern and confusion shining in his eyes, "Um…Saving you from drowning."

"Brad, I wasn't drowning. Brick was just joking around and threw me in," Kim explained.

Ron had watched the scene take place before him with his mouth agape. Once he finally came out of his shock, he shoved Brad aside and helped Kim to her feet.

"Oh. I…uh, thought you were drowning," Brad said uncomfortably.

"Why in the world would you think that?" Ron asked with his hand protectively around Kim's waist.

"Well, I was walking by and heard a girl scream. I just ran in here to see what was wrong, saw Kim sputtering in the pool, and jumped in to save her," Brad explained as best he could.

Nobody knew what to say. All five of them just stood there, staring at each other for a few moments.

"So um….what did happen?" asked Brad, rubbing the back of his neck in a nervous gesture very similar to Ron's. He turned to look at Kim…and did a double take. Ron noted that he'd obviously noticed that she was in her new bikini. He instantly went into jealous/protective boyfriend mode.

"Well…um…Kim and Brick were about to race down to the end of the pool and back," Monique told him when no one else answered, "They were just talking smack to each other and joking around so Brick threw her in."

"Why in the world would he do something like that?" Brad asked, giving Brick a hard glare, "She could have been hurt."

"Brad, I'm fine," Kim responded, "He was just joking around, and I've been through way worse."

"Oh. Well I still say he took it too far," Brad relented at Kim's assurance that she was fine, "Would it be okay if I watched the race?"

"Um," Monique answered for her friends once again, "Sure."

"If you don't mind my asking, what are the stakes?" Brad asked, growing more comfortable.

Kim was also back to her usual self, "If, I win Brick has to run around the mall in a bra and thong screaming 'I got my ass kicked by a girl!'"

Brad put on a huge grin. "Boy would I love to see that," he teased Brick, "But what happens if Brick wins?"

"Not gonna happen," Kim declared, smiling.

"When I win, Kim has to wear her new bikini for the rest of the day, including when we play football later," Brick shot back.

"Wow. Sorry Kim, but I've gotta admit, I'm rooting for Brick on this one," Brad said, smiling.

"Fine, traitor. I don't need you anyway. My Ronnie's got my back," Kim put her arm around Ron's waist and his arm went around her shoulders. She smiled at Brad to let him know that she was just teasing.

"Well then, let's get this race started," Ron declared, "The faster we do this, the faster Kim can win and we can start our football game!"

Kim chuckled and Brick smirked as they both made their way to the diving board. Rufus was already waiting on the railing when they both climbed up the ladder that, thankfully was wide enough for the both of them to fit on standing side by side. The walked forward to the edge of the board and stood at the ready until the little mole rat put both of his paws up into the air and held them for a long moment.

Finally he swung them down quickly and Brick exploded into action and dove straight into the water. Kim however, rushed behind her, back towards the ladder and upon reaching it, turned around. She took a deep breath and ran the length of the board before coming to the edge and using every ounce of her leg muscles to jump, jump, jump, not high into the air like when she'd done the cannonball, but out horizontally in a dive so graceful, so athletic and cat-like that it had the three watching humans and naked mole rat completely and totally awestruck.

She quickly overlapped Brick while still in the air, and she didn't even hit the water until she was already three fourths of the way across the pool. She let herself glide to the edge of the pool before doing a swim turn/flip underwater and once again used all of her leg muscles to push off the side of the pool in a split second. She was half way back to the other side of the pool before she even had to start swimming while Brick was still swimming with strong powerful strokes towards the edge so he could turn around and swim back. She touched the other side of the pool just as Brick was turning around to swim after her.

Rufus squealed and Ron yelled "Booyah!" at the top of his lungs while punching his fist high into the air. Rufus scampered quickly down the railing and ladder and jumped to land on Kim's shoulder. He used his little paw to raise Kim's fist in the air and declare "Winner!" with a squeak.

Kim smiled at Rufus and gave him a kiss on the side of his head before turning to Brick and saying in a sweet little girl voice, "Hope you don't mind a little breeze, Brickie."

If he hadn't already had Monique, Brick had to admit that that voice coming out of that body in that swimsuit, which was soaking wet and clinging to her like an extra layer of skin, would have driven him to the brink of unconsciousness. As it was, the other two young men were driven wild, but only one could actually act on their feelings….and he did. Ron enveloped Kim in a huge hug before hoisting her up onto his shoulders and shouting "Winner!" as loud as he could.

I'm excited for the next chapter. It's going to be really good. Anyway, stay tuned and I'll have it up ASAP!
