A/N: Thanks for all the reviews and to the nice girl that want's cute and cuddly...I'm sorry the bunny farm is as close as I can get to cute and cuddly. I just don't do cute very well.

Ahhhhhhhhhh Ron and Bon Bon.

I have the feeling this story is going to be way longer than 30 chapters.


"This looks like a nice place." Bonnie said as she parked the red Toyota in front of the restaurant.

Ron shrugged, "Sure Kim." Then he closed his eyes, "Sorry Bonnie…My mind is a mess right now."

She gave an understanding nod and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go inside, maybe you'll feel better after you eat a good meal."

Ron chuckled, "Yea, Bonnie's Jewish alright, she trying to tell me I'm too skinny."

"Well…I guess you can't beat a place called 'The Place'"

They exited the Toyota and walked inside; Ron held two fingers, 'Table for two, no-smoking."

Then he quickly turned to Bonnie, "You don't smoke do you?"

Bonnie shook her head, "I never picked up the habit."

Ron grinned, "Kim was trying to hide her smoking when I left."

Bonnie was shocked, "Kim smokes?"

"From time to time...I never picked up the habit either." Ron told her as they made they're way towards a table.

"So how's army life treating you?" Bonnie asked as she rested her chin, on her left hand and leaned in towards Ron to show she was interested.

Ron was starting to perk up from the attention Bonnie was showing him, "Now that basic training is over it's a lot better, I'm going to be stationed at the border crossing close to Netanya, I have to report next Sunday."

Bonnie's eyes lit up and she took Ron's hand, "That's great Ron; we'll be close to each other."

Ron blushed and nodded, "Ummm…This is so weird…I'm still not really used to you being nice to me."

Bonnie frowned and nodded, "I grew up a lot after Jr. Prom, I still feel really bad about calling you a stupid Jew back then."

Ron shrugged and lowered his head, "Ahhhhh…That was just a bad day for everyone."

She nodded her head in agreement, "That's the day you got into that fight with Jared Masters…I sort of felt responsible for that."

"Not your fault…not your fault…I broke my hand in that fight and two days later Kim dumped me….That seems like a lifetime ago." Ron said quietly.

"You were always too good for her Ron…At the engagement party she didn't even mention you until I brought you up." Bonnie said shaking her head in disgust.

Ron looked surprised, "What did she say?"

"Well I told her I was leaving to go to school in Israel and she said, 'Wow that's where Ron is now.'" Bonnie then held up a finger, "Opps looks like it's time to order."

Ron looked at the menu, "I would like two cheese blintzes and a coke."

"Ummmmmmm…I would like the Quiche du Jour with fruit, and an unsweetened iced tea." Bonnie said as she closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Ron pressed for more information, "So that's all she said was 'Wow, that's where Ron is.'"

Bonnie lifted her eyebrows, "She was kind of busy with Danny and his parents when I talked to her."

Ron cringed, "All those years together…Awwww Kim…"

"Ron"

Bonnie had just brought Ron back into the restaurant, "Maybe it would be better if we talked about something else."

Ron bit his lower lip and nodded, "Yea…So ummmm what kind of classes do you have?"

Bonnie laughed, "Language classes mostly…I really need a good tutor and I see you've really mastered the language….Maybe you could help me?"

"Bonnie, you should know that I would be glad to help you." Ron told her in Hebrew.

Their food arrived and Bonnie was eating her food and noticed that Ron was picking at his, she waived her fork at him and told him in Hebrew, "Eat…You are too skinny."

Ron smiled and started to laugh, "Yes, Momma"

They shared a good laugh, and Ron decided to try and catch up on his other friends, "How's Ned and Tina doing?"

Bonnie drank a little ice tea and gave a small chuckle, "I'm not sure I didn't really travel in Ned's crowd."

Ron smiled, "Ned never really did have a crowd, he had more of a line."

"OK, let's see how about Monique?"

"Maid of Honor" Bonnie said between mouthfuls.

Ron smiled and took a bite of his cheese blintz, "Well I'm glad to hear they're good friends again."

Ron twisted his fork around in the air and tried to think of other people to ask about, "How about Tara?"

"She's going to Upperton, she's not seeing anyone…" Bonnie told him with a wink.

Ron frowned and shook his head, "No…not me Bonnie…I'll look for a new girlfriend another day...Maybe when I'm out of the army."

Bonnie wiped her mouth with a napkin, "How long will that be?"

"Thirty two months…I think." Ron replied as he looked up to the ceiling trying to calculate the months that he was already in.

"That's a long time Ron, what are you going to do when you get out?" Bonnie asked as she pointed to his plate and made a motion for him to eat.

Ron chuckled and took another bite and tried to think of something while he chewed, "Well…I was thinking about going to school, not sure what I'll be majoring in…Maybe become an Actuary like my father."

Bonnie pointed a fork at Ron and reminded him as she tried not to laugh. "Hey remember when you made that Mad Dog mask and was trying out for the cheer squad."

Ron laughed and rolled his eyes, "Yea and I had it rigged to froth at the mouth and I shook the head and covered you guys in banana cream froth…It was funny but I really didn't intend for that to happen."

She forced a grin on her face and bobbed her head around, "Yea...I remember that well."

"I'm sorry Bonnie about spraying you guys…I just…wanted…to…oh…never mind." Ron became sullen again and started to pick at his food.

"What Ron" Bonnie asked as she once again took his hand in hers.

He licked his lips and then pulled out his wallet, "Hey I have a baby sister now, I have to show you this picture…She's a cutie…not as cute as me of course but close.

Bonnie took the picture and looked at it, "He doesn't want to talk about cheer squad?"

"Ohhhh She's soooooo cute…So what's her name?"

Ron smiled, "Kaley Brianna, now how's that for a cute name."

"I like it…so do you like being an older brother?"

Ron shrugged, "I'm not really sure, I've never seen her…I may never see her…When she graduates high school…I'm going to be an old man."

Bonnie shook her head, "Ron can I ask you something?"

"Sure Bonnie"

Bonnie licked her lips and looked around the restaurant, "When we were talking about the Mad Dog mask…You were going to say something and then said 'oh never mind' what were you going to say?"

Ron laughed and looked around trying to come up with a good answer, "Well…Ummmm…I didn't want to sound too pathetic…I just wanted to be close to Kim."

Bonnie squeezed his hand more firmly, "Now to plant the idea."

"Ron…Kim's moved on, you need to think about the kind of girl that will make you happy…You were always so concerned with Kim that you never took time out for yourself…The time to discover the kind of girl that can make you happy and give you that normal life."

Ron nodded staring at his half empty plate, "Hmmmm…I guess I have to now."

"Ron…Eat." Bonnie said as she motioned at his plate.

He smiled and chuckled, "OK, OK…That is so weird Kim getting married…huh."

Bonnie watched him to take a bite, "You know I'm actually having fun… when he's away from the Princess of Power he isn't really a bad guy….No Brick Flagg that's for sure…but still…"

"Well Ron we're getting to that time in our lives when people start pairing up and committing to relationships, starting families that sort of thing…I will admit that Danny and Kim was kind of sudden and took me by surprise" Bonnie lowered her voice to make sure no one else could hear, "I'm glad I'm over here or Mom would be on the non-stop find a nice Jewish boy and get married kick."

Ron started laughing and looking around, "Tell me about it, my Mom's on the same kick…This will make her day, she hates Kim."

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Mother knows best."

"So you're off for the week then, want me to pick you up tomorrow and we can head up to Netanya? I'm off until after Chanukah."

He sat up in his seat, "Booyah, yes I'd love to go to Netanya for the day."

Bonnie smiled, "You and your booyah, Great, we'll do some shopping and then I'll drop you off and I'll come back and pick you up in the morning." She looked and saw that Ron still wasn't done with his food, "Now clean that plate, looks like I'm going to be fattening you up this week…You look like a tooth pick with ears."

Ron laughed, "I'm eating, I'm eating."

Once they left the restaurant Bonnie took Ron shopping with her and bought him a shirt, and her outfit as they went from mall to mall in Tel Aviv. Ron normally dislikes shopping but his desire for companionship out weighted his objections.

She dropped Him off in the late afternoon, and walked him to the door, "So I guess I'll pick you up tomorrow then…Remember to bring your coat tomorrow…You'll catch cold."

Before Ron could speak Bonnie gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek that made Ron blush, "Uhhhhhhh…he, he, he, yea…ummm...Sounds great Bonnie."

Ron stood and watched Bonnie back out the driveway and then he waived, "Kim's moved on…Maybe me and Bonnie…Nahhhhhh, She's still Bonnie, she'd never have anything to do with me."

Bonnie turned the corner and drove away from the Oster's towards Tel Aviv, "He's a sweet guy for a loser…I'll just crush Kim, crushing Ron would be too easy."

Ron walked inside the house with his bag from the mall and found Sima waiting for him, "So is Bonnie your new girlfriend?"

He shook his head and pointed at her, "You are too nosey."

"Awwwwwwwww I want to know." Sima said as she sat on the stairs to block the way.

"You only want to know because my life is better than a soap opera…Real life Agony County." Ron chuckled not knowing if Sima understood what a soap opera was or not.

Sima narrowed her eyes and frowned, "So…Is she your girlfriend or not."

Ron started to scratch his chin, "That's a good question, could she be or I'm I just so messed up from Kim's engagement that anything looks good now."

"I do not know, I think she likes me but…I am afraid…to have a girlfriend…Maybe after I get out of the army."

"I'll be your girlfriend." Sima said happily.

Ron made a face at her, "and what of your boyfriend...What do you tell him? Do you do like Kim and reach into his chest and pull his heart out and throw it on the ground and say…" Ron looked around the room and swallowed hard and said quietly, "Ha, ha, ha, I have…found another."

He was embarrassed, the entire time with Bonnie and he never had a chance to grieve and now it was coming out and in front of people he didn't want to see him hurting, "I will be in my room Sima…I…I don't feel well."

Ron moved past Sima and ran up the steps, Sima turned to watch him go, "I'm sorry Ron."

Ron turned at the top of the second floor, "There is nothing for you to be sorry about, I have deep thoughts going on in my head."

Then Ron turned and continued up the stairs to his room, he turned oh his clock radio and listened to 99.2 'The Bizz' Tel Aviv's local hip hop station as he took off his shirt and sat down on his bed.

His IDF dog tags swung from the chain around his neck as he looked at the floor, "Why didn't she tell me…I mean it still would have hurt but I would have understood...I don't blame Monique for not wanting to get involved…Damn…Engaged?"

Ron lay back on the bed, "Spent too many nights sleeping upright because of Kim, now I know to lie down so I don't have a sore back in the morning."

He looked over towards the radio and smiled, there was a commercial on where a boy and his girlfriend were making out and her mother walked into the bedroom, "I remember Mrs. Dr. P. throwing a bucket of water on me and Kim…It's funny now…but then…Man, that water was cold."

Ron started laughing, "Well, maybe there is a good reason that Mr. and Mrs. Dr. P. like good ol' Danny better than me…Now they don't have to worry about accidentally serving good ol' Danny pork at Easter."

Ron let out a deep breath and stared at the ceiling, letting his mind go blank and then he shook his head, "Kim Baldwin…Kimberly Anne Baldwin…Kim Baldwin…She can do anything…huh… I will say one thing about all this…Kim Baldwin has a nicer ring to it than Kim Stoppable."

Ron looked over at the radio, there was a hip hop group he had never heard before on and the music was getting him stoked:

"Sometimes I feel like a lab rat

They do experiments to me ignore the effects/

How long will we keep closing our eyes?

How long will someone ? put weapon/

Waste of time what happens here to my people

I'm tired of seeing in the news just blood/

All the time blood and we are not reacting

They make terror against us because we are giving up/

Like scared dogs with our tail between our legs

We are fleeing, giving bribes to murderers/

The Zionism of the underground era has disappeared

Now we have become apathetic and everything looks different/

Suddenly I come and give the era?

(Ah Becha) Listen to me well and learn the formula/

If he wants to kill you kill him first

And if he doesn't want peace (shalom) then f'k goodbye (shalom) to him.

I'll wear the Star of David until my dying day"

"Booyah…These guy's get it…Who are they?" The song ended and Ron heard the DJ say it was Subliminal and the Shadows, "Ohhhhhh man…When I go out with Bonnie tomorrow…I'm going to find me some CD's."

There was a soft knock at the door, "Ron…Pappa wants to know if you want to play backgammon?"

Ron smiled, "Yes…I will be down as soon as I put my shirt on."

"Ron I didn't mean to make you upset." Sima said sadly.

Ron shook his head, "You didn't make me upset…I should be used to my Kim's ways…Who knows in two or three months after they are married, she may like some other boy and then it will all be Danny's problem…and I will be the one laughing."

Sima giggled and left the room, Ron looked into the mirror, "Yea, I'm used to Kim doing this sort of thing by now…no big."

They played backgammon in the family room on the first floor till well after 10:00PM. Sharon Oster was in a talkative mood, "So now that you're a free man, are you going to romance the girl that came to pick you up today? Sima says that she is very pretty."

Ron smiled, "No plans just yet…Maybe one day, but not right now."

Eli smiled and wiggled his finger, "You fall off the bike you get back on it. Since she is coming in the morning to pick you up as you say…I think she has more than just Hebrew lessons on her mind."

Ron chuckled and nodded, "I am not sure Bonnie thinks of me as boyfriend material."

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh see…I win again." Eli said as he put his hands behind his head and basked in the victory in all its glory.

Sharon shook her head, "Time for bed it is late."

Ron helped pick up the family room and then headed upstairs to his room, Sima told him good night and then he closed the door behind him.

"Yori…I'll meditate and see how Yori is doing…She didn't look to well the last time I saw her." Ron thought as he was taking off his cloths for bed.

Ron sat cross legged on the bed and emptied his mind and contemplated his belly button, soon he was transported to the beach, with the white sand and the cool blue water surrounding it, he was in the beach chair with the drink with the little paper umbrella in it.

Yori soon appeared, she was wearing her traditional black martial arts gi, she bowed towards Ron, "Hello Stoppable San…I hope that you are well."

Ron smiled, "I'm doing ok, you know me…I was wondering if you was okay…You looked really wore out the last time I envisioned you."

Yori looked embarrassed, "Stoppable San…I…it was the end of the school year here and there was much work to be done…Now that you are controlling your temper it has been easier on me."

He looked at her for a long moment and remembered how close they had become at Yamanouchi and how he believed he could turn away from the world and remain with her forever.

"Stoppable San…I have very good news…Someone has entered my life and I am very happy." Yori said excitedly.

Ron was shocked back to reality, "Oh…So…ummmmm you are not lonely anymore."

Yori looked quickly away, "No not anymore…I am sorry Stoppable San but I must go now."

Yori was gone and Ron felt more alone than ever, "Bonnie was right, every one is pairing up."

He came out of mediation and felt extremely tired and lonely. He lay down on the bed and stared at the clock radio until sleep over took him.

He dreamed of when they were children, carefree happy days of summer when the days seemed to last forever. Good days before freak fighting and boyfriends, days when the only worry were when Kim would be up and what time he would have to go back to his house.

He dreamed of Peterson's Bunny Farm, they were eight years old and it was Kim's birthday and they went to the bunny farm for a party.

Kim was sitting on the ground and playing with all the different bunnies, "Here Ron, you can play with this one."

Ron took a step back, "Nuh Huh…It's going to bite me."

Kim got up off the ground and walked towards him carrying a bunny, "Ron, quit being a baby and hold the bunny."

He stepped back, "I don't think I should, I might get dirty before the party."

She forced the bunny into Ron's hands and he held it, he could feel the warmth from the fur and see its little bunny nose wiggling as it sniffed the air around it.

She looked pleased with him, "See it's not so bad is it?"

Ron looked into the sad eyes of the bunny and then he felt a rage, a rage he did not know he possessed boiling from up the depths of his soul. He gritted his teeth and snapped the bunnies' neck and threw it on the ground, and then he picked up another bunny and snapped its neck and threw it on the ground.

Kim gasped in horror, "Ron what are you doing."

As Ron broke the neck of the fifth bunny he calmly told Kim, "I'm killing all the bunnies because you're going to marry Danny Baldwin and not me."

She screamed in horror and ran away.

Ron jerked awake and sat up, the room was aglow in a hue of blue that was coming from his eyes before they dimmed and eventually returned to normal.

He sat up in bed and wiped his face, he was covered in sweat, he began to shake and then to cry.


Kim was half a world away sitting in the Student Union Building of Upperton University with Monique, "Kim are you okay?"

She shook her head and looked at her friend, "Ron was really mad, I could feel it…it scared me and then he became really, really sad."

Monique nodded, "I think it's all in your head…Just is case it isn't, have you checked to see if everything is alright with the Stoppable's?"

"I've seen them out shopping for baby stuff for Ron's sister…Ron's never seen his sister." Kim said in amazement.

Her friend nodded but didn't say anything; she was busy contemplating the same thing.

Kim shook her head, "I want to go back in the chair but Dr. Wong won't let me after I started to feel things outside of the chair…I need to be back in the chair."


He woke up early and dressed, then sneaked out and walked over to the Internet Café, "Time to check my emails and send my condolences…I mean my congratulations to Kim on her engagement…Have to hurry Bonnie will be in town about 11:00 or so."

Ron paid for an hour of internet time and then sat at one of the workstations and logged in, and then he checked his email account, "Ahhhhh two messages." He winced as he read the first one. "Great, I can have a larger penis." Then he brightened, "Ahhhhh one from Ned."

Ron opened it up and read the message:

"Ron

I got brave and popped the question to Tina and she said "Yes"

We are going to get married. How about that?"

I was wondering if you could be in town in May the weekend before Memorial day.

I need a best man buddy, what'd ya say?"

Let me know as soon as possible.

Ned"

Ron chuckled, "Ned you dog you…Wish I could get married."

He hit the reply button and began to type:

"Ned

I would be honored to be your best man at your wedding.

I'll put in for leave for the month of May and June and come home just for the wedding.

I bet you and Tina are pretty excited, looking forward to seeing you both.

Congratulations!

Ron"

He looked over the message and hit the reply button, "Bonnie's right, Ned and Tina, Kim and Danny…This is too weird, Ned's getting married."

Next hestarted to write a message to Monique:

"Monique

Ran into Bonnie down here and she told me about Kim and her engagement to Danny Baldwin.

I don't blame you for staying out of it.

She told me you're going to be the maid of honor.

I'm happy that you and Kim are good friends again.

I made it through basic training…yeaaaaaa!

My first post is going to be a border crossing called Tulkharm.

I'll be living on the post three weeks out of the month.

My friend Sergei says we need to get a place together but I'm not sure if I want to rent a place just to stay there for one week a month.

Bonnie is picking me up today to show me around Netanya.

I still can't believe Kim is getting married.

Good job on keeping an eye on her and keeping her out of trouble.

I'm going try and get leave for Ned and Tina's wedding.

Ned has asked me to be best man.

Weird, everyone is getting married now.

Hope you and your family is okay, I'm in pretty good spirts considering.

Bonnie's helped to take my mind off of the losing Kim.

I will try to write more often now that I'm out of basic training.

Your friend always

Ron"

Ron sat back in his chair, "Now for the hardest thing I've ever written in my life."

Hehit the compose button again fora new emailmessage to send and began to type:

"Kim

I understand now why you haven't written me and it's okay.

Bonnie told me of your engagement to Danny Baldwin.

While I don't know the guy personally, I know he must be pretty special to have won your heart.

I'd just like to take this time to tell you how much your friendship has meant to me over the years.

You would always inspire me to do better and how you would never let me give up or quit.

No matter how bleak things seemed to be, you were always there for me.

I only wish happiness to you and Danny you embark on your journey together, may your joys be many and your sorrows be few.

I only request one favor from you, when ever you see a three alarm fire and people are running around screaming and waving their arms in the air.

Think kindly of me, your old friend Ron in Israel.

Good luck on the wedding, I wish I could go.

Your friend always

Ronald Stoppable"

He hit the send button while holding back tears and then his eyes flashed blue for a moment and the mood suddenly changed, "If that ain't the biggest load of shit I've ever written in my life."

He logged out of the workstation and stomped angrily out of the café, "Have to get home and get ready for my day with Bonnie."

He made the trip back to the Oster's house in record time and saw that Bonnie was already in the driveway.

"Sorry, hope you weren't here long, I had errands to run." Ron said as he jogged over to the driver's door.

Bonnie smiled, "No I just got here…Hey I had a thought…Instead of me burning up all this gas going back and forth, why don't you just pack an overnight bag and spend the night."

Ron nodded, "That's not a bad idea, I'll be just a second."

He quickly ran upstairs and packed his duffle bag with some civilian clothes and then he spotted the Ronnunicator, "Never know Kim might try and call once she reads the email."

Ron quickly packed it up and ran back outside and threw the bag into the back seat of Bonnie's car.

Then they drove off for Netanya and a night that Bonnie Rockwaller will never forget for the rest of her life.
