KP in Animology Soul Mates

AN: I got this idea from watching the Kim Possible show. The events of this take place right after that episode. So, this is way before the "So The Drama" movie. Herb and Bernadine are characters I made up for this story. After all Ned can't possibly run things all by himself can he?

Chapter 9: Bueno Nacho!

Ron scratches at the back of his head nervously while Tara walks closer until Amelia notices how close she is getting and gives her a cold, hard stare which stops her from getting any closer.

The four of them walk up to Bueno Nacho's front with Monique opening the door just wide enough for one person to walk through, meaning Amelia and Kim had to let go or walk into the door.

As the girls and Ron filed through the door, Ned noticed that something was different right away. He had been working at the place for quite some time and he also knew a bit about Kim and Ron as they'd once worked for him for a short while but he still remembered their job applications.

Ned noticed that the girls seemed unusually on edge and all tightly swarmed around Ron who didn't seem to really understand what was going on but then he never did figure Ron for having much upstairs other than being really creative, gifted with food really and able to multitask.

Ned frowns for a second as Amelia nearly grabs Ron in a personal spot right in public but her hand was blocked by Monique while Kim seemed to almost growl at Amelia for the attempt. He didn't know what was going on but he certainly didn't approve of such behavior in people in his fast food restaurant. He makes a mental note to keep an eye on them and stop any signs of trouble before it gets to be too big.

Ned watches as Ron sits down first, sliding as much as he can over Kim and Amelia argue about who can sit next to him. While they are arguing, Tara and Monique sit across from Ron and it seems for a moment that he was going to have a catfight between Kim and Amelia on his hands until Ron invited Kim to sit by him because she was his best friend. This makes Amelia very cross and she sits down, hitting Kim in the hips a bit hard.

Ned raises an eyebrow as he thinks, "Just what is going on here? When did Ron Stoppable become such a stud to the women?" Since there was no one ordering at the moment he calls the other two people working with him over.

Ned says softly, "Bernadine, Herb, I want you to keep an eye on booth 5... Something very strange is going on over there."

Bernadine whispers, "What do you mean? What are we supposed to watching for?"

Ned whispers, "Just make sure that the girls there don't get into a cat fight. I don't know how or why, but it seems like he's got all those girls fighting over him for some reason and I would rather not have to clean up after a catfight."

Herb says as he glances at the booth in question, "Are you sure it is Ron they're fighting over? I mean he's an ok guy and all but he's kinda a loser too."

Ned frowns and whispers, "Don't speak that way about our favorite customer. He may be odd, but he's a good guy and loyal to his friends."

Bernadine slaps Herb on his shoulder and says, "Yeah! And besides, he invented the Naco for the company! What kind of guy can be a loser if he can think up of such an amazing money maker?"

Herb grumbles for a moment before he says, "Fine... but what are supposed to do if it looks like they're going to start fighting? One of the girls is Kim Possible! I don't want to have to try fighting her."

Ned shakes his head, "I don't expect you to fight anyone, just try to head it off before it gets to that point. Got that, you two? Otherwise I expect you to treat them like any other customer off the street."

Bernadine and Herb both salute and say, "You got it boss!" They then return to their duties, watching every so often at the booth and seeing that the tension over there was so thick you would have to cut it with a laser.

Ron was starting to feel a little bruised on his side as Kim and Amelia squirmed, bumped and glared at each other for some reason. When he felt something brushing his leg, he looked down to see if Rufus was crawling about but then he remembered Rufus was at home. So he then looks at the touch and his eyes bug out as he sees a foot belonging to Monique rubbing up and down that against his left leg going from his ankle up to a little past his knee.

When Ron looked at Monique curiously he sees her just giving him a small, almost secret-like smile like how a cat that just ate all the tuna and got away with it might look. His eyebrows jump up for a second in surprise when she gives him a quick wink with her right eye.

Ron then feels something lightly circling over the foot over his right leg and he sees that it belongs to Tara this time! Not knowing what to do and how to react he does the only thing he can think of doing. He says, "Ah... erm... I think I'll go and place an order. Does anyone want anything?"

He is quite surprised when all four girls say, "Let me get your order for you!" in over-lapping voices. Ron is quite unused to having anyone other than Kim say that for him and that usually was when she had just gotten her allowance too. He was quickly feeling the feeling that he needed to get away, run away very fast and far while the girls all argued about who was going to get his order.

Bernadine saw the danger signs and with Herb busy with a customer and Ned working the drive-through at the moment. It meant that it was left up to her to defuse the potential catfight. She takes a couple of menus reserved usually for certain kinds of people and walks over says, "Hi, would any of you like to hear about our special this week?"

The girls all stop as if someone had hit the pause button on them before they all slide down into their seats as they'd been standing and getting ready to fight. Kim says, "I'll have a order of nachos with a salad and ranch dressing on it. I'll have a regular Pepsi with it. Ron will have..."

Amelia could tell Kim was about to order for her guy and didn't want that to happen so she cuts Kim off by saying, "I can't believe you are going to order for Ron, Kim! He should be able to say what he wants, not what you think he should have! In fact if anyone should order for Ron, it should be me! After all, I am his soul mate so I think I know what he wants!"

Kim growls while Monique says, "Listen girl, just because you've got it in your head that you two are "soul mates" she uses air quotes from some stupid book doesn't mean that you know enough about him to know what he would like to order!"

Bernadine was speechless as she watched Kim, Monique and Amelia all argue about who should order while Tara looked major-league uncomfortable where she was sitting. She looks at Ron and thinks, "Sure... he's kinda of cute, like a big puppy in a way. I wonder what it is about him that has all these beautiful girls fighting over him?"

She didn't realize that she was staring at Ron even as she though about how cute his big ears were and wondered what it'd be like to run her finger over them, until Tara says, "Excuse me, I'd like order for myself."

Bernadine blinks twice quickly before she says, "Oh, sure! What can I get for you Miss?" She listens as Tara orders a regular naco combo order with a diet coke to go with it but for some reason she couldn't get the thought of caressing Ron's ears out of her mind, so she pushes it to the back of her mind long enough to focus on writing down Tara's order.

As Bernadine turns to the other girls, she wonders if Tara was also interested in Ron like the quarrelling girls were. She says, "Is anyone else ready to order or do you all need more time?" She wonders for a moment if she would even stand a chance for Ron's attention when he already had four girls after him.

From where Herb stood, it looked like Bernadine had been staring just a little too long at that guy with all those girls. He hoped that she was not going to fall for him because he really didn't want her to fall for such a loser. He cared too much about her to let that happen to her.

Ned walks away from the drive-thru window and sees Bernadine talking to Ron and his posse of girls. He had caught the long stare at Ron from her and thought, "This doesn't look good, she's starting to become attracted to Ron. It is the ones out of reach I guess make them so appealing." After a few moments he thinks, "Man, I gotta get me some of that."

Herb liked the way he could admire how she looked from her black hair with the purple highlights of hers that had been done in the front of her hair as well as down the back of her hair that went down to just above her tight tush. The purple had been done in such a way that if she was standing still, it looked like she had a two purple ropes looping in and out of her hair while going down the hair starting from just above her ears.

Eventually Ron solved the whole problem by ordering for himself and Rufus so that Amelia and Monique were forced to stop arguing and place their own orders while Kim looked happy that none of the other girls got to order for Ron. The smile on Kim's face really tweaked Amelia and would have been all over Ron to tweak Kim back if she wasn't still in the way.

Still Amelia couldn't let Kim get away without at least trying so she says, "Hey Ron, after you're done eating... how would like go a couple bases?" She grins as all the girls, including Bernadine as she begins to walk away totally get the message. Bernadine turns around to say something when Ron says, "Sure, I am up for a game of softball afterwards. Just watch out for Kim, she's got the mad skillz when it comes to throwing the ball."

Monique covers her face with her hand as she tries hard to keep from laughing but she couldn't stop her shoulders from bouncing up and down.

Tara giggles, as she knows Ron totally misunderstood Amelia's meaning and was glad for once that he could be so delightfully clueless.

Kim smiles a little as she says, "Yeah, Amelia... just watch out for my curveballs. They are something to watch out for." She crosses her arms in front of her, as she knew Amelia had understood the double meaning to her words.

Amelia growls for a moment and says, "Oh just you wait yet Kim... I'll get Ron to a homerun sooner or later." Which makes Kim's smile disappear and frown before Kim replies, "So not the drama because if I have anything to say about it, you will never make it to home base."

Bernadine walks away and thinks, ""Whooo, that Amelia girl has the hots really bad for Ron... I wonder if Ron would mind another player for the baseball game?" She imagines how she might 'accidentally' collide with Ron during the game and see if he had the goods to satisfy like she imagined as one of the reasons for Amelia to be so into Ron.

Herb says to Bernadine while she gets everyone's order together, "Bern, maybe I should go serve the order. Things look pretty dangerous at that table right now and I don't want you to get hurt." His real reason was to keep her away from Ron so she couldn't fall for him.

Bernadine says, "Aw... that's so sweet of you but I can handle it, I am a big girl after all. Now if you'll excuse me I've got to go and deliver their food." She takes the two trays worth of food, one in each hand and winks at Herb before she says, "Remember, I am one of the strongest girls at school."

As Herb watches her walk away he thinks, "You might be able to lift more than me, but I want to be your man... The one you can lean on when you need someone and all that great physical strength of yours is useless to fix your problems."

Bernadine puts all the food down where they belong while Ron and the Monique talk baseball until Bernadine says, "Hey, if you guys are going to play baseball, can I join in? I love to play."

Ron smiles and says, "Sure! The more the merrier! But don't you got to work?"

Bernadine shakes her head, "I get off in ten minutes. I could meet you guys at the Middleton Eagle Field then."

Ron's eyebrows go up as he says, "But that's where the pros play! How could we ever get in there?"

Bernadine grins, "Oh that's easy! My father owns the place and I go there all the time to practice on the pitching machine they have there so I've got the key."

Ron waves around what left of his food in his hand and yells, "Bon-diggety! All right! We'll meet you there then!"

Bernadine grins as she says, "Great! I'll see you all there as soon as I get off!" She then notices the stares from the other girls as they considered her as yet another rival for Ron's attention. She turns around, not letting them see her smile and unconsciously swishing her hips a bit sexier as she thinks while walking, "Oh yeah girls... we'll just see who gets to what base with Ron and I bet it'll be me."

Ron ate his food and drank his soda while Kim, Amelia and Monique all look at Bernadine with hatred as she walked to the counter with those swishing hips of hers telling them what her true motives were. Tara sighs a little happy sound that went unnoticed by even Monique as she watched Ron eat with such happiness and she loved to see him so happy.

Kim, Amelia and Monique all then look at each other as if to telepathically tell each other, "She is not getting Ron! You're not getting Ron either!" Before plans start to form in each of their minds in how they would make sure Ron wouldn't be getting to 'base' with any of the others interested in him.


AN: Looks like BN is still standing, which should make Ron happy.What do you all think of Bernadine so far? And what about Herb? Tara is looking pretty nice so far isn't she? Kim and Amelia look like pretty hostile rivals so far with Monique the sly vixen out to get Ron. At least Ron is still as clueless as ever.

Coming Up Next: Ron and the girls go to the baseball place for a game but someone new shows up to add a little spice to the game. Monique makes a move on Ron and gets a bit more than he bargained for! Tempers flare and disaster seems to loom. Any guesses as to who the new person is?
