KP in Tough Being a Girl
Ever wonder where Kim and Ron would be if Ron had been born a GIRL and still knew each other from since Pre-K? And then one day while visiting a top-secret lab to stop Drakken, she becomes the male Ron we all know and love? What would happen? What would any natural-born girl, stuck forever as a guy do? Read on to find out!
Chapter 10: What am I?
(At School)
Ms. Lemon's words had remained on Ron's mind for the rest of the following class which caused him to be more spaced than usual and thus making Kim worried about her friend. So after class, Kim walked Ron to the lockers and Ron was so out of it that he almost failed to stop at her locker, and might have if Kim hadn't spoken his name.
Ron says, "Sorry KP, I've just got lot on my mind and I guess I'm just sorta moving like a zombie today."
Kim looks worried at her friend as she looks him over and knew that only something really bugging her would make Ronnie... She stops and corrects herself to think "Ron" as her best girlfriend was now a best friend of the male type. She says, "Ron, you know you can talk to me about anything right?"
Ron nods and says, "Yeah... I know KP but I just... I don't know, its a lot to take in and I don't even know where to begin."
Kim gets her books from the locker and that's when Ron happens to glance at the wanted posters that hung on her door for the first time since all this began. She is surprised when Ron seemed to pale a little and even more surprised when Ron grabbed the door and slammed it shut with such force that the door was actually dented inward some!
Kim thinks, "What... the... what was that?" She couldn't think of any reason for Ron to freak out like that as all she had on her door were picture of... It suddenly dawned on her that she still had the posters of Drakken and Shego on the door. She says, "Ronnie?" as she falls into a old habit with her best friend.
Ron is breathing a little heavily before he steps back and says, "eh-heh, sorry about that Kim." He then looks at the damage to the door and says, "Um, I can pay for that... just put it on my tab." He thinks, "Man... I was never that strong before. I wonder how much stronger this body is than my old one?"
Kim says, "Forget about the door Ron, I want to know... Are you scared of Shego?"
Ron starts to rub his finger under his nose and looks everywhere but Kim as he says, "Scared? Me? Of Shego? Nooo! That's ridiculous! Just because she's the one who transformed me into a boy for the rest of me life is no reason to fear her... Noooo! I'm perfectly fine!"
Kim knew her friend was trying to lie, as for one thing he was so bad at lying that only a total idiot would fall for it. She could also understand that her friend was trying to say that she... he... wouldn't stop going on any mission with her, even ones that involved Drakken and Shego. Still, seeing the reaction of Ronnie... Ron, she had to correct herself that Shego caused made her angry. She decided that she would definitely not be holding back on the hurt to Shego the next time she ran into the woman.
Kim decides to try a different subject and says, "So Ron, what's been bothering you so much?"
Ron looks down at the tiled floor for a few moments before he looks up at her, meeting her eyes as he says, "Ms. Lemon gave me a lot to think about. She thinks she can help me through what has happened to me so I can adjust to being a boy better."
Kim knew that wasn't the whole story and says, "You know I'll help any way I can too. You're my best friend Ronnie, I mean Ron."
Ron nods and says, "I know and I'll always got your back too KP. It is just that it got me to start wondering... What am I? Am I a girl in a boy's body? A boy in a boy's body? A weird kind of mix between the two? I gotta tell you KP, I just don't know anymore."
Kim didn't know what to say for once as she knew that this was one problem that she didn't have an answer to even though she could feel a conflict in her own heart as to just how she saw Ron as well. At times she saw him as her lifetime girlfriend and at other times, she saw him as the boy of... from her dreams where she felt so completely at ease and happy to be around.
She says, "I know Ron... but you know that whatever you decide, it won't change things between us right? Best friends until the end of time." Kim can see the look in Ron's eyes that seemed to brighten at her words but she wasn't totally lifted, he needed more so she says, "Think about it, how many friends would want to hang around a girl who suddenly became a very handsome boy?"
Ron smiles and says, "Yeah, you're right Kim..." He turns, missing Kim blushing as she thinks, "I just called Ron handsome! Oh my gosh! I wonder if Ron caught it?" He never gets to turn back to see Kim as just then, Bonnie came up and says, "Hi Kim..."
Kim crosses her arms, instantly going from blushing to being ticked as she sees Bonnie and thinks, "Great... what does she want now?" She then is surprised as Bonnie smiles at Ron and says in an almost sing-song voice, "Hi Ron!"
Kim thinks, "Nooo!" as she remembers what had happened earlier that day. She frowns with a low, frustrated sound coming from her that Ron misses as Bonnie comes up before Ron a bit closer than she normally would have allowed even Ronnie.
Ron didn't know that anything was up and still remembered Bonnie as the mean girl that she'd always known from her girl life. She says, "Uh, Hi Bonnie... what's up?" He then remembers knocking down Bonnie in the hall and says, "If this is about before in the hallway... I'm sorry about that, I really didn't see you"
Bonnie tilts her head as if surprised by Ron's words before she gets that mischievous look that Kim hated. She says, "That's right, and I feel you owe me more than just an apology. I want you to do something for me!"
Ron thinks, "Uh-oh, this isn't going to be good... what does she want me to do?" He then imagines a wide variety of things that he'd both heard of Bonnie doing and witnessed while as girl as the school mascot. He was very surprised when Bonnie says, "Meet me after school in the school parking lot with that scooter of yours. I'll tell you what I want you to do from there."
Kim thinks, "What is Bonnie planning now? I thought at first that Bonnie was going to go out with Ron at first but now..." She didn't like to admit it, but usually Bonnie was harder to figure out than even a supervillain's plot and on some level she hoped that Bonnie wouldn't go that route or she'd really have her hands full.
Ron gulps and nods before he says, "Y-you've g-got it Bonnie." He was wondering what she was going to do? Make him wreck his scooter? Drive on grass that had the "Do not walk on" sign up? He simply couldn't imagine what she was planning.
Bonnie smiled as she walked away and thinks, "I'll get my date with you Stoppable... one way or another." She laughs as she walks away, thinking about how she'll enjoy her time after school but it unnerves Ron and after the day he'd had, he had to wonder what more could happen to him.
Kim frowns in thought as she wonders what Bonnie's game plan was. She thought that if Bonnie really did have some sort of crush on Ron, she would have behaved differently but what was she going to have Ron do for her? Whatever it was, she knew that she couldn't leave her best friend to the mercy of Bonnie.
Ron says, "Great... now on top of trying to figure out what I am, I have to meet up with Bonnie after school. What more can happen?" Just then Barkin walks up and says, "No shouting in the halls Stoppable, extra homework!"
Ron just blinks in surprise as he is handed some homework and sighs, looking down at the floor until he feels Kim's hand on his shoulder. He looks up and meets her eyes and for a moment, there was something about the way she looked at him in that moment that made him beat his heart a little harder.
Kim says, "Don't worry Ron, I'll be right with you after school. I wouldn't leave you alone to face Bonnie by yourself and don't worry, we'll figure out your other problem together as well."
Ron just numbly nods as he gazes at Kim, unable to think for a few moments before he snaps out of it and thinks, "What's going on! I'm a girl... aren't I? Or am I guy? Can I really be falling for my best friend?" He says, "Thanks Kim..." since he didn't trust himself to say anything more to her, lest he give voice to his own worries.
Kim says, "Come on, lets go to class Ron." She then gives her friend a brief hug in support, almost making it last longer as she felt his masculine warmth and found herself almost enjoying it before she pulls back, afraid of where her heart might lead her... and that was something she rather not think about just yet because of her dreams.
The two friends go to their classes and aside from the whispers, secret notes and rumors that spread about Kim and Ron or Ron and Bonnie. Aside from one rumor that she happened to see on a note that was passed in class about a threesome between Ron, Bonnie and herself going to happen after class, it remained to be a pretty quiet day.
(After school in the parking lot)
Ron stood with Kim by his side being a bit on the nervous side and what made it worse was the crowd expecting either a fight or something else equally entertaining to happen, although Ron didn't know that. He thought they were all there to see him get punished by Bonnie.
Bonnie walks up and says "Hi Stoppable!" She then glares at Kim for just a moment before she says, "Oh, hey Kim... what are you doing here?"
Kim narrows her eyes at Bonnie and says, "I'm here to help Ron with whatever you've got planned Bonnie."
Bonnie walks up and places her right hand on Ron's chest, feeling the firmness that she'd felt before when they had collided and she feels her heart skip a beat before she collects herself enough to say calmly, "The way I see it, you also owe me for what you did at Bueno Nacho so what I'm going to have you do is take me out... I mean take me to Bueno Nacho and treat me to whatever I want there."
Ron thinks, "Well, that's where she is going to hurt me... in the wallet. I guess its a good thing I got my allowance. It was good while it lasted." He imagines dollar bills with wings flying out of his wallet and Bonnie cruelly laughing as she makes him spend every last dollar at Bueno Nacho, thinking it fit what he knew of her. He says, "Ok Bonnie..." sounding more than a bit sad to lose all his money.
Kim did not like the way Bonnie's hand never left Ron's chest and the fact that it seemed to even keep circling like a buzzard before it strikes only helped to anger her further. She didn't want Bonnie to steal all of her friend's money as punishment so she says, "I'll come along Ron so I can help pay the bills."
Bonnie gives Kim a very cold stare which was met by Kim's fiery stare in return, causing some serious sparks to fly. She says, "No you don't Kim, this is between me and Ron here. This cute guy is just going to have to leave your side for a while!" She moves her hand off of Ron's chest and grabs Ron's arm to pull him towards his parked bike so she could get away from Kim.
Ron knew that his bike could only carry two people and at that moment Ron wished that it was anyone but Kim or himself that was about to suffer Bonnie's wrath. He sits down and says to Kim, "Sorry Kim..."
Bonnie says angrily, "What are you waiting for? Lets go Ron!" She didn't want to spend another moment around Kim as she was beginning to suspect that Kim knew what her plan was.
Ron didn't know what to do so he sits down on his scooter and before he knew it, Bonnie was sitting closely behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist. He looks at Kim and says, "Sorry KP, I don't think I have any more room on here but I'll see you later... I hope."
Bonnie says, "Come on Ron, don't keep a girl waiting..." which gets him to start up the motor and she holds onto him a little tighter than needed as he drove on to Bueno Nacho. She glances back to see Kim looking quite angry and when their eyes met, she grins like a Cheshire cat which makes Kim narrow her eyes at Bonnie which is all she could see before Ron drives far enough away to make her lose sight of Kim.
Kim being a unhappy girl at that moment would have been an understatement. She just watched her best friend get bullied by Bonnie and for whatever reason, her instincts were telling her that Bonnie had more than just revenge on her mind. She suspected that Bonnie was forcing Ron into her...shakes head his first date with a girl. She wondered how Ron would react once he learned of that, and why did the mere thought of it make her feel so sick to her stomach? She knew she had to get to Bueno Nacho and fast!
She looks around the parking lot and spots Felix just coming out of the school with Monique by him. She runs up to them as she says, "Felix! I'm so glad to see you!"
Felix gives a nervous glance at Monique as he thinks, "Oh man, I bet this is about how I haven't talked to her in a while." He is surprised when Kim says, "I need a ride, how fast can you get me to Bueno Nacho?"
Monique says, "What's going on Kim? What is the grand urgency?" She wonders why Kim looked like she was half-panicked and Kim almost never did that.
Kim says, "Ronnie, I mean Ron is taking Bonnie to Bueno Nacho! I think she's going to force him to go on a date with her!"
Felix says, "Um... how is this bad Kim? It is just Bueno Nacho after all."
Monique says, "Felix, this is Bonnie we're talking about. Anytime that girl is involved, it is never good news."
Kim says, "Thank you Monique!" She turns to Felix, "Do you think you could give me a lift to Bueno Nacho with your chair?"
Felix looks at Kim and then at Monique who gives him a brief nod before he says, "Yeah, I can do that. Hop on Kim."
Kim hops on even before he finishes his sentence onto the back of his chair with her hands gripping the handlebars tightly.
Felix says, "Monique, will you tell Mom to meet me at Bueno Nacho?"
Monique nods and says, "Sure, I can do that Felix. Now go before Ron gets into deep trouble with Bonnie!"
Felix nods and says, "Thanks Monique!" as he then pushes forward on the controls which makes the chair zip forward very quickly at a pace that was about as fast as any car on the road.
Monique thinks, "I've never seen Kim so freaked out. I wonder what she knows that she didn't say." She says aloud to no one in particular, "Good luck Kim..."
Kim was worried about her friend going on her... his first date as a boy and she knew he wouldn't even realize it because he would be so worried about whatever punishment that Bonnie would be setting him up for. She just knew she had to get there soon before Bonnie pulled anything with Ron that would scar him for life against being a boy that thought really bothered her but she was too focused on getting to Bueno Nacho to give much thought as to why.
AN: Well everyone... I know that it has been a while since I've updated this story. Can you imagine the kind of emotional scarring Bonnie could do to a "confused" girl-to-boy like Ron? Poor Ron might swear off girls and then where would Kim be? I don't wanna know! Lol! I know I haven't used Felix or Monique in a while for this story but I wanted to give them thinking time. So, anyone want to guess what Bonnie's going to do on her "date" with Ron? What will happen when Kim and Felix show up? Only my subconscious knows (Which is accepting bribes at the present so as to write the next chapter sooner. Lol!) Also, to those of you who feel the pace of this story is slow... just remember that this is a story about one girl's journey into um, manhood so to speak and less about the action/adventure you'll see on the show. Still, I'll add something to spice things up soon enough, as I'll send KP and Ron onto a mission soon!
