AN: I do not own Kim Possible

(Middleton Base)

I stood in the middle of the training room, hands behind my back as Bonnie walked inside the training room. She was fully suited and eyes filled with determination. No fear. Good.

I let my hands fall to my side as I took one step forward. Bonnie released a small burst of her ki, her body still relaxed.

I took another step forward, her eyes narrowed. I performed a half right face. I took steady steps around her, with her always turning to face me. She hadn't made a move yet, knowing it would cost her dearly. She knew she had to be on the defensive.

My fingers twitched, causing her body to tense up reactively. That's when I struck. I sprinted forward, palm open and aimed at her stomach.

Bonnie made a triangular barrier with her hands to stop my attack. Oh? Surprising, but also not. She was a smart girl and the triangle was fundamentally the strongest structure.

She had her fist clenched when my palm smacked against the barrier. It only cracked a little. She then quickly unclenched her hand and turned it around, open palm facing mine.

I was pushed back by an outburst of ki and she then sent a wave attack at me. I flipped over it. I was upside down and airborne when Bonnie aimed a ki powered jab at my head. I caught her fist with my reinforced one. I held onto her fist as my momentum and gravity forced me forward and to land behind her. When I landed on my feet, I threw her over my shoulder.

I was surprised when she stopped her sudden air flight by covering herself with ki. It must be similar to the stasis ability she used on me once.

I activated the storage components of my new vambraces on my armor, causing three needle-thin metal needles, senbon, to fly in each hand. I threw them at Bonnie as she landed. She used a hastily made shield to protect herself, my senbons pierced the shield halfway.

I ran forward, performing a rear roundhouse kick with my left leg, one aimed at her head. Bonnie was barely able to raise her arm to block and form a shield, the force of my attack causing her to be pushed off to the side. I lashed out with the opposite leg in the form of a mule kick. My back had been facing as her as my foot landed on the ground.

I heard a grunt of pain when my foot connected. Bonnie must have let her guard down in an attempt to attack me. Foolish. I had a satisfied smirk on my face. "First blood, Bon Bon."

She snarled at me. "Fuck you."

"One day." This time, Bonnie rushed forward.

I prepared myself for a melee assault, but to my surprise, she jumped high into the air with a series of flips I recognized from cheerleading. She was now out my attack range, holding herself up in the air with her powers, but she wasn't frozen. She had created two large balls of purple energy.

"Eat this, loser!" She yelled. Tiny orbs of telekinetic energy were launched at me.

I found myself ducking, diving, and weaving to avoid the volley of fast attacks. It was only three seconds long, but she must have at least launched twenty of those things. Good thing she wasn't too accurate with this attack. It was like suppressing fire, indiscriminate and inaccurate. But suppression was never meant for killing.

"Fuck!" I heard her yell as she landed. She was breathing heavily. The attack must have taken a lot out of her.

I stepped one foot forward, like the beginning of our fight. Her ki flared this time. I could tell she was about to get desperate. "That trick almost worked, Bon Bon. The attack seemed familiar. You must have been watching Dragon Ball Z with Tara again."

She ignored my quip, creating two large energy balls again. She didn't fire immediately, her eyes focused on me. I tilted my heads sideways in confusion, which triggered her to fire off another volley. These were much faster and some's trajectory arched toward me.

I wasn't able to dodge all of them this time, one of them hitting me painfully in the chest. I summoned the Lotus Blade.

'That kind of tickled!' Hisako whispered in my head when I blocked an attack, 'But it also kind of hurt! I want more!'

I ignored the disgusting glee from her as I deflected Bonnie's attack. Well, the first wave. She sent larger ones that weren't as fast, but when I sliced through them as I moved towards Bonnie, explosions comprised of ki and telekinetic energy went off.

My vision was slightly obscured and only my supernatural senses notified me of an incoming ki comprised attack coming from behind me. I spun around to see the smaller orbs. How?

As I raised Hisako to block the attacks, I felt more attacks coming from where I was just previously facing. I attempted to block form both sides, but for every attack I stopped, I was hit by two more.

Her smaller orbs felt like I was being stabbed by surgical needles over and over. It was painful, enough to bring lesser men to their feet. But not me, I was just getting pissed off.

"Enough!" I yelled as a well of energy erupted from within me. I had released it as I yelled, blue ki exploding outward from my body. Previously, I was surrounded by Bonnie's attack, but now I was surrounded by shards of broken glass showing everything near me.

I saw Bonnie's barrage slowly moving towards me on the glass. I took the path of the least resistance, keeping my eye on Bonnie. Her face went slowly from confident to confusion. I walked towards her, breaking off into a run when I felt myself suddenly getting tired.

I changed Hisako into a bo staff, as the glass around me shattered and disappeared. I struck her unscarred side, before sweeping her off her feet. Before she could get back up, I switched back to the Lotus blade and positioned it right in front of her face. "You're done."

She didn't look at Hisako in fear, instead, looking me directly in the eyes. Her gaze was filled with concentration, no doubt trying to figure out a way out of this predicament. The room was clear of all rubble, so she couldn't pick up any objects to use for a sneak attack.

Wait! I dispelled Hisako to catch the six senbon I used earlier. I expected six, but only got three instead. Bonnie had used this a chance to knock me back a few feet with a simple telekinetic push.

I looked back at Bonnie, who then telekinetically threw the other three senbon at me. I reacted by using the three I held to intercept hers, with her standing back up. Then she forced all six back to fly towards me.

I used Mach Step for the first time. I couldn't use it while under siege from Bonnie's earlier attack. Not only did I lack the concentration at that moment, but Mach Step wasn't teleportation. It accelerated me to high speeds for a second and caused me to move in a straight line. I would have just slammed into more of her orbs.

I had tackled her to the ground. I was on top, with Hisako against her neck. Just like a few months ago. She kept my gaze for a moment, before looking away. "Dammit."

I got up and put away Hisako, who was whining about wanting to fight more. "This will only serve as a lesson to what you need to improve on."

"Not like I'm going to be fighting people like you all the time," I heard her mutter.

"You'll be surprised by what you'll face," I said, holding out a hand for. She grabbed it. "You did well today."

"So does that mean…" She trailed off hopefully as I helped her up.

"Yes. You earned it. Take care of your little pet," I answered. Bonnie didn't respond, knowing better too. She followed me out of the room. Time to talk to Hisako again.

(Later that night)

I sat on the bed as I waited for her to finish her family dinner. I wanted to speak to Hisako about what happened during the fight with Bonnie, but the damn spirit was being annoying and demanding. Said I needed to commune through Tara for the talk.

Why? I don't know and I could care less. I just needed to know how to activate the power at will. Uncontrollable power was something that always bothered me.

The door cracked open, with my target walking in. She was talking to an older male, had to be her father. She had no brothers and no other male relatives that lived in this state.

Tara laughed at some joke. The lightness of the sound shook my body. It was a relaxing sound.

When she turned around, she was startled to see me. It was quickly replaced with a smile. She closed the door and locked it.

"Hey Ron," she greeted me, as she walked over. She sat right beside me.

"Tara."

She placed a hand on my upper thigh. "I know you don't do social calls. Why are you here?"

"Hisako," She was confused now, "During my battle with Bonnie today, something strange happened. I tried to speak to Hisako afterward, but she was insistent you be present."

"Eh? I won't be able to talk when she's in control."

"Exactly. I don't see the point," I told her, "But I rather have my answers given than go through trial and error."

"So impatient!" She teased.

I ignored her, pushing her hand off me. "Come on Ron! I was just playing!"

I still ignored her. She then sat behind me, pressing her bust against my head. "Ronnie, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. I'm not being impatient. I don't like having powers I cannot control. It can activate at the wrong time and cause a catastrophe," I explained.

"Oh." She began to rub the top of my head, still in the same position. As great as this was, I was here for business. Not pleasure.

"Tara, could you tell that annoying woman to get out here?"

"I can try, but she doesn't like being bossed around." Tara moved back to sitting beside me.

She closed her eyes and her face went through annoyed to anger. After a minute, I heard her sigh.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she opened her eyes.

Tara eyed me warily. "She's concerned you might freak out."

I raised an eyebrow. "Why would I do that?"

"You have to do something similar to what you did with Bonnie," She answered.

I frowned. Hisako had a point. I was…apprehensive to try a meditative Ki session again. "Can she assure that the same result won't happen?"

Tara's eyes went from teal to ice blue. "It's totally safe this time master!"

"How's this time different?" I was still cautious.

"Have some faith in me!" She rolled Tara's eyes at me, "You're going to give busty boobs here some of your ki for exchange of mine."

"What?"

"Master, I've been inhabiting this one's body for a few weeks. I wasn't planning even on staying this long!"

"No that! The part about your ki!" I hissed at her lowly. I didn't want to gain her family's attention.

She looked at me smugly. "Did you really think me being here wasn't going to leave some side effects, did you? Look at this way, your ki being in here is a lot safer than mine."

"How about no ki?" Why did this spirit always throw problems in my plans? Wasn't she supposed to be on my side, helping me? Not making things harder!

She waggled a finger at me. "Nope. Once it's been placed, it can't be taken away. Plus, when she eventually accesses her own ki, she can process yours into her own. Mine, on the other hand, will eventually damage her."

I rubbed the temples of my head. "Why did you do this?"

"Hey! I was originally going to possess that other girl, but this one got in the way," Hisako answered with a bright smile, "I like Tara better anyway, she appreciates Japanese culture. Plus she can get something to help her in combat! More than just regular physical augmentation!"

That piqued my interest. "Like what?"

Hisako shrugged Tara's shoulders. "Probably nothing offensive or destructive like you or Bonnie. Something more passive."

I released a sigh. "Let's just get this over with."

A minute later, I found myself cross-legged, opposite of Tara on the bed. Our hands were cupped together. I took deep breaths, reaching into my core for my ki. Instead of the familiar burn, I felt a shocking sensation from my ki. There was no pain associated with it to fuel my adrenaline. It was just a jolt of energy instead like it had been the last couple of days.

There was time to examine that tidbit later. I didn't need as much mental strength to draw the power. I got goosebumps as the shocking sensation went across my chest to my arms. The energy passed through my hands before it hit the cold Ki of Hisako's. It was like a barrier and I was about to destroy it.

'Gentle Master, this is her first time,' Hisako's perverse voice said. I ignored its innuendo but listened to her advice. I created a mental picture of my ki. Beforehand, it was like a ramming rod about to smash against a glacial wall. Now it was a thin needle of surgical precision.

My imagery got cleared as the needle inserted itself into the wall of ice. I had a visualization of an icy wasteland, powerful winds blowing in the direction the needle came from. The needle slowly went in, up until about three fourths. Dark clouds then appeared in the sky, a lightning bolt crackled from the air. The needle was struck, a cascade of electrical energy ripped open the wall.

My serene imagery was destroyed by the moan coming out of the possessed Tara's mouth. "Amazing Master!"

I kept my annoyance under wraps. The noise she made was fairly loud and I didn't need a concerned family member of Tara's interrupting this.

I felt Hisako's bone-chilling power flood into me. Once all of it had been gathered, I let go of Tara's hands and opened my eyes. My fellow blonde's face was as red as a tomato.

"Do you think anyone heard that?" she asked in a squeaky voice.

"Probably," she groaned, "But, it's understandable. You're a teenager and something like that shouldn't come off as a surprise."

"Ron!" she harshly whispered, "I don't want my parents thinking that I'm watching porn or something!"

"Not my problem." I checked the time. It was almost nine.

"Well, what I'm feeling right now is your fault!" I glanced at her to see a childish pout on her face.

I was feeling generous today. Maybe it had to do with my powers no longer hurting me when I use them. "I guess I'll have to take care of it. I would hate for you to deem me as an irresponsible fellow."

"Huh?" I pounced on her, making her fall on her back. She let out a little adorable squeak that I quickly silenced with my lips.

I pulled back. "Ronnie?"

I cupped her face, "Just enjoy it, Tara."

I kissed her again, this time with her kissing back. The soft pecks quickly descended into making out, our tongues fighting for control. I won that battle.

I broke contact to attack her neck. She let out another moan, her hands wrapping around my head and fingers running through my hair. As I continued my ministration, she began to grind against my crotch, her heat arousing me.

I stopped once again to sit up. I pulled her upward, forcing her to straddle me. She was breathing heavily and sporting a blush. I smirked at her, as I grabbed a handful of her rear, my smirk widening as she gasped.

"Having fun, T?" I used Bonnie's pet name for her. She bit her lip as I kept squeezing her firm butt. That wouldn't do. While she wasn't as endowed as her best friend in the back, she made up for it in the front. When I removed my hand, she let out a breath she was holding.

She didn't think she was getting a break, did she? She wanted relief and I was going to give it to her.

I began to swiftly unbutton her shirt, chuckling at her wide-eyed expression. I had already removed the article of clothing when she came to her senses. She was wearing a white bra with a flower motif on it. Lacey stuff was Bonnie's thing.

"R-Ron," she muttered, "W-what are you doing?"

"Giving what you what you asked for," I then removed her bra. Her considerable C cup, borderline D cup, breasts jiggled as they lost their support. Tantalized, I licked my lips as I grabbed two handfuls.

Before I indulged myself, I looked at her face once more to see nervousness plastered on it. That's right. I was the first person she ever has done anything like this with. Just like last time, during our first semester at college.

"I'll be gentle," I assured her, giving her a chaste kiss on her lips. She had a shaky smile on her face now.

I gave her knockers a light squeeze, reveling in the softness of her skin and the firmness of the breast. I placed my thumbs over her pink nipples, going to work. The rapid movement provided the pleasure she sought, as she began to let out soft moans and I slowly speed up.

I moved my right hand back to her rear, freeing up a spot for my mouth. My left kept up its ministration as I slowly licked her nipple.

"Ron," She moaned, going back to grinding against me. I stopped playing with the left nipple to wet my thumb. I started to suck on the right and back to playing with left with a damp thumb. Tara was now taking rapid breathing and I only picked up the intensity and grinded back.

A few minutes later, her legs shook uncontrollably as she brutishly kissed me to hide her scream. Her whole body shook for a few seconds as she laid her body against mine. I had placed my hands on her back, going in soothing circles. "Is this what you wanted?"

She made an affirmative noise. "Are you going to stay the night?"

"Do you want me too?" I asked.

She had positioned herself where she could see my face. She nodded. "I'll stay."

She smiled. "I'll be right back. Need to shower and change."

She hopped out my lap, grabbed some clothes, and headed to the door. She looked back at me. "Don't go anywhere, baby."

I raised one eyebrow at the nickname. "Staying right here."

She smiled once again and headed out the door, closing it right behind her.

(Next day)

I had woken up at the crack of dawn to sneak out of Tara's house. She had barely registered that I was leaving, giving me a sleepy goodbye.

I was running down to my house when I almost, making a turn at the corner when I almost ran into Kimberly. Both of us had reflexively dodged out of each other's way, leaving the slightly behind Josh staring at us.

"Sorry KP/Ron!"

"Akweird…" I decided to be silent so she could speak.

"What are you doing up so early, Ron?" she asked me, Josh now right beside her.

"Just taking an early morning run," I answered, "Like you two."

"How far?" Was there a spark of competitiveness in her tone?

"About four miles," That was about the distance between Tara's and my house.

"Josh and I are doing five!" Yep. She made this a competition. Her boy toy looked like he wanted to cry.

"I thought you said two and a half," he muttered. Kimberly and I both heard that.

"That was the warm-up! Let's go, Josh!" She commanded, running off with a now miserable Josh trailing behind.

I shook my head as I ran to my house. Josh was going to be dead tired today and I hoped we didn't have a mission later today. He might have to sit that one out.

Rufus greeted me when I got inside, asking where I was. I told him I was with a friend. He sniffed me. "T?"

I nodded, moving towards the garage. I planned to do a simple workout for today. I changed clothing quickly and began exercising.

As I exercised, I thought about my progress. Ever since I woke up. I had been moving at a snail's pace as far as my plans went. My powers might have been boosted, but that was not my main concern. There was plenty of time to train. I needed a stronger foothold on this planet.

I had only a small army on my side, Jack's company, and Bonnie. Tara wasn't ready for combat yet. My opponents were much stronger. Global Justice, any modern nation, and even WEE. My shades were strong, but not numerous enough to fight these organizations. I needed more men.

Then the Yamanoichi shinobi were here. I could just face them myself. All they were doing was just snooping around town. I needed to deal with them. Quickly.

I finished my workout, getting two messages from Bonnie and Tara. I responded, giving friendly salutations. Afterward, I went to the kitchen to fix breakfast.

I got six eggs to scramble. Contrary to popular belief, raw eggs were not more nutritious than cooked eggs. Cooked eggs were provided almost as much as twice as much protein than raw eggs due to the difference in the digestibility of the proteins. Plus, you heavily reduced the chance of foodborne illness.

I snorted at the idea of people following that fitness trend from one of the Rocky movies. Good thing Kimberly had her parents and me to dissuade her from picking that trend up a few years ago. Couldn't argue with a doctor, a rocket scientist, and your friend who's cooking skill was recognized by many four-star chefs from around the world.

I grabbed two skillets and turned on the stove. I got a stick of butter from the fridge cutting off two thin slices. I placed one slice on each skillet.

Getting a bowl, I began to beat the eggs, removing the white beforehand.

After beating the eggs, I placed them on the buttered and warmed skillet on the oven top. I got two pieces of bread from atop the fridge, placing one piece on top of the other skillet.

Using a wooden fork, I scrambled them to the right consistency. Where they have contained enough liquid to not be dry, but also not runny. I had switched the piece of bread with the other slice after toasting both sides. Now the second one was done.

I seasoned the eggs with salt and pepper, throwing in a hint of chili powder to spice them up. I got strawberry jam and spread it on the two pieces of toast. Then I put the scrambled eggs on them. I got two plates out of the cupboard, fixing a plate for myself and the other for Rufus.

Sitting down at the table, I took my first bite as Rufus did the same. He made happy chirping noises as I smiled. Delicious.

(Middleton Streets)

"I'm telling you, T, that exchange dude is up to something!" I told the blonde in the passenger seat, "And Hope keeps disappearing off with him! I called her twice this morning!"

"Maybe she's just on a date," she unhelpfully supplied, "And stop being paranoid. It's not like he's dangerous or something."

"I'm not so sure, T. I'm sure I've seen him snooping around with Yori chick a few times at night," I told her.

"Maybe they're ninjas?" I couldn't tell if she was being serious right now.

"With all the stuff I've recently seen, I wouldn't be surprised," I muttered to myself, getting a giggle out of her, "This isn't funny."

"It is B! Ever since we got involved with Ronnie, we got to see the strangest things!" She told me, "Things we would have never seen otherwise."

"I think that spirit is messing with your mind," I said. I had some reservations about that thing, but it (she?) was bound to Ron. So I had hoped she didn't mess with Tara.

"Hisako isn't there anymore."

"What? When did this happen?" Why didn't she tell me?

"Ron took her out last night when he visited," Tara explained, "We did this meditation thing and then she was gone!"

I glanced at her warily. "He didn't freak-out or anything?"

She shook her head. "He was reluctant at first, but once Hisako told him that there would be some bad side effects is she stayed too long, he agreed. It was pretty simple, only taking a few minutes."

I huffed and kept my eyes on the road, trying to ignore the jealousy bubbling under my skin. "Then what?"

She blushed. "Nothing really. But I'm supposed to get my own powers eventually."

Something else happened, but I wasn't going to question it. She never questioned me. "My powers aren't going to be anything powerful like yours though, according to Hisako."

I forced down the relief and happiness I felt. I knew she only told me that to appease me. I wasn't going to be petty about this. "Speaking of powers, Ron's gained a new one."

"Really?"

"Yes. When we spared yesterday, I used a new attack that surrounded him with so many blasts that he couldn't block or avoid then all," I explained as when we came to a red light. I had animatedly waved my arms back and forth as I had done during the spar, "But it leaves me drained afterward. So during the attack, he made this big wave of energy come out his body like an explosion. Somehow he escaped the attack and was in front of me! He just got past the blasts, making them all crash into one another. I was like, what the fuck!"

"I was going to say that it sounded like Explosive Wave from the Dragon Ball games, but that move doesn't freeze time," Tara replied.

I groaned. "Don't mention that stupid Japanese cartoon."

"Anime!" I rolled my eyes at her correction.

"Whatever. He said I took a move from the show." Tara laughed.

"Energy Volley Wave," She told me, "It's one of Vegeta's signature moves! Oh, you should do Galick Gun next! You got the purple energy to pull it off!"

"I'm not using moves from that show!" I yelled as we pulled up to Ron's house.

Tara patted my shoulder in what was supposed to be a comforting motion. "It's inevitable Bonnie. You will join the weeb side."

"That was a terrible Star Wars joke," I told her, "I sometimes forget you are as big as a geek as him."

'Another thing you two can bond over,' I thought bitterly. I really needed to calm down. Just because my two favorite blondes had shared a good moment during an activity that went badly for me, doesn't mean I need to get angry! Maybe now I could have a successful attempt since he seemingly got passed what was block him. I should ask him soon, so Tara wouldn't have a leg up on me.

Dammit. There I go being petty again. This might be a competition, but I didn't need to be cutthroat about it. Maybe we two needed to talk about this.

Tara had called Ron to get him outside. When he walked outside, he looked at us questioningly when he saw us in my coupe. "Where am I suppose to sit?"

Tara wiggled in her seat excitedly. I kept myself from glaring. "T, you're driving!"

I didn't stifle my laughter caused by her wide-eyed expression. "Eh?"

"You heard me! Get up!" I said smirking. My best friend pouted as she got up and exchanged seats with me. Before I sat down, I patted the leather seat. "Get in here, Ronnie!"

He did as he was told, seemingly obedient. I should have known better, for as soon as he sat down, he grabbed me by the waist and placed me right in his lap. I did not squeal like a little helpless child. No matter what T says.

I felt something poke my rear. I knew what it was. Something I hadn't had the fortune of meeting yet. He didn't let me touch it.

"Remember who's in control here," he whispered in my ears. I shivered slightly from the heat of his breath tickling my ear.

Tara finally backed out of the driveway, heading towards the school. One of Ron's large hands were placed on my right thigh, creeping upwards. He was almost reached the top before suddenly sliding back down. Then he crept back up, getting to the same place before heading back down. This bastard was teasing me! I could feel his stupid smirk on his face.

"Eyes on the road Tara," he spoke. I heard her squeak before turning to face her. She was blushing bright red. She had seen? Oh God, this was weird! Was I getting turned on even more? Bonnie, stop this! You are not a sexual deviant.

I slapped his hand away. "Later Ron."

"Could you guys, like, not do that in front of me?" Tara asked forcefully.

"Sorry," Ron spoke, "But I didn't think you were a voyeur, Tara."

"You're doing it right beside me!" I laughed at her reaction.

We then pulled up to our school, parking in my regular spot. A familiar lime motorcycle appeared beside us, with two rides. Once they got off and removed their helmets, it was revealed to be Hirotaka and Hope. Hope took one look at me in Ron's lap before scoffing.

"Good morning to you too, Hope," I said to my friend. I slid out of Ron's lap to get out, embracing Hope. Tara had run over to join in.

When we broke from the hug, we saw Ron and Hirotaka sizing one another up. I wrinkled my nose. I hated when guys stated to be super macho.

Ron had his head titled upwards with a small smirk adorning his face. Hirotaka had his eyes closed, smiling pleasantly. "I didn't know you were dating Rockwaller-san, Stoppable-san."

I wondered out loud why the guy used our last name as two males continued to speak. Tara explained to me it had to do something with Japanese customs and formality. Something I didn't care about.

"You don't have to address me with honorifics. Ron is acceptable," My man told the exchange student, which only made him smile wider, "When did you and Hope hook up?"

She blushed. "We're not dating. He had offered to take me on an early ride on his bike a few days earlier."

I stepped forward. "The girls and I need to have a little chat. See you two in homeroom?"

Hirotaka looked at us questioningly, while Ron just nodded. I took Hope's hand and lead her into the school, with Tara complaining about being left behind.

"What the hell was that, Bonnie?" Hope said with a smidgen of aggravation. She wasn't really angry, trying to seem like it.

"Did he tell how long he's going to be here?" I asked, "I know he answered the question before, but he should have a definite answer now."

Hope looked at me dumbfounded. "Huh?"

I rolled my eyes. "He's an exchange student remember? He's isn't going to be here forever!"

She clenched her fist. Still a bit of resentment there. "Why do you care?"

"Because you're my friend," I said the most obvious answer, "And I don't want you to be some fling he can brag about when he goes home."

"Bonnie's just looking out for you," Tara supplied, stopping whatever outburst was on the tip of Hope's tongue. "Bonnie has a point. But I got a good feeling about him,"

I looked at her intensely. "Something Hisako told in the past or lingering effects?"

"No," she answered, "She was sure there will not be anything bad happening to me."

"Wait? What?" Hope asked suddenly.

"Ron took Hisako out last night," I answered for Tara.

Hope turned to face Tara, who gave her an affirmative nod. "Fucking finally."

I checked my Omni-tool to see it was almost time for class. I told my two friends to get moving and was sure the boys would catch up later.
