The nearly empty halls of Middleton High started to fill in with tired and irritable students as the Monday morning bell encroached. It took most students a while to get back into 'school mode', but Ron knew exactly what he was going to do that morning. With a blur of colors, Rufus quickly made his way to Kim's locker (which was conveniently located right next to his).
"Okay Ron," Rufus said as he gasped for some air. Small beads of sweat rolled down his face. "We're here. Now what are we in such a hurry for?"
"(We can't let Kim see us doing this!)" Ron said nervously.
Rufus looked down into his pockets in confusion. "Why are you so nervous? It's not like she's following us."
"(Yeah but she could be here any minute. SOMEONE overslept and forgot that we had school today.)
Rufus put his hands on his hips. "Hey, I'm used to you waking me up. You should've told me what an alarm clock was."
"(Okay, okay. Never mind. Let's just hurry before anyone sees us.)"
"Alright," Rufus agreed as he let Ron out of his pocket. He still couldn't get used to the fact that he was taking orders from someone smaller than his own hand. Then again, it must've taken Ron even longer to get used to living in a pair of pants. "Now tell me again," Rufus said sarcastically. "What is this 'brilliant' plan of yours?"
Ron grinned proudly, "(Step one of operation 'KP4me'…)"
Rufus rolled his eyes. "I'm liking the sound of this already…"
"(First, we're going to slip a note into her locker. Girls love it when they get secret admirer notes.)"
"Not bad…" Rufus agreed.
"(And I've taken the liberty to prepare a note myself!)" Ron folded his arms confidently.
"Great…"
"(What was that?)"
"Nothing. Nothing…let's just get this over with. Here, give me the note." Rufus said with a sigh.
"(It's in your left pocket.)"
Rufus reached into his pant pocket to pull out a small, pink piece of paper. "Now what?"
"(Stick it into locker 316.)"
Rufus obeyed slipped the note into a tiny slit in Kim's locker.
"Watcha got there, Ron???" a familiar voice from behind said smugly.
"What??" Rufus turned around in a panic only to find Bonnie Rockwaller, five feet away, staring right at him. Ron peeped out of his pocket, too. From that angle he could get a better overall look of Bonnie [and he was not disappointed].
"(Lookin' fiiine as usual…)"
"Ron!" Rufus whispered into his pocket. "One crush at a time!"
"(Hey, I'm not bound to Kim just yet…)" he said then went back to gawking mindlessly. Even though she was possibly the biggest snob that he'd ever meet, Ron couldn't take away the fact that Bonnie was still incredibly attractive (in an evil kind of way). If she just wasn't born with a stick up her butt, Ron could've easily fallen for her instead of Kim.
"Hey Ron…" Bonnie flipped her hair and sauntered over flirtatiously. This made Ron's eyes almost pop out of their sockets. Rufus slapped his pocket to make him calm down.
"Hey! Ow!" Ron rubbed his head.
"Listen…I was just about to ask you to go to the dance with me. It's next Friday, you know," she said, winking at Ron.
"(Aw man…how come this never happens when I'm in my own body…)"
Rufus, not sure of what to do, tried to politely decline Bonnie's invitations. "Uhh…um…thanks but I-"
Bonnie butted in, "But seeing as how you're already sending Kim love notes…well…I can take a hint." She put on a fake sad face.
Rufus and Ron both searched around to see if anyone had heard Bonnie's last sentence.
"Notes? What notes? I have no idea what you're talking about," Rufus stammered.
"Oh?" Bonnie smirked. "Then what was that that you just slipped into her locker?"
"Um…um…nothing. It was…uh…" Rufus looked down to Ron. He just shrugged his shoulders with a baffled expression. "I was…uh…umm-"
Bonnie put her finger on Ron's lips. "It's okay," she smiled wickedly. "I know exactly what's happening." Stroking her finger from Ron's mouth down to Ron's chest, she put her face closer to his. "And don't think I'm afraid to use it against you." All Rufus could do was smile back nervously. What was he supposed to do in this situation?
"Tata! See you at practice Ronnie!" she blew a kiss and turned to leave. Even when she walked away, she swayed her backside from side to side as if it was waving to Ron. Rufus quickly looked away but had to practically pull Ron's head apart so it would stop bouncing from left to right.
"Ron! She's purposely trying to get you to like her!"
"(Uh-huh…)" Ron said looking back in Bonnie's direction. His head started to bob again. "(Why would she that? I mean……)" Ron began to zone out again.
"Ron! Focus!" Rufus yelled, covering Ron's eyes.
"(Huh? What? Oh yeah. What I was about to say was: why would Bonnie want MY attention? C'mon…it's me! Ron Stoppable! I thought she hated me.)"
"Hm…I thought she did, too," Rufus said questionably. "Maybe she's just trying to beat Kim. She always tries to do that, right?"
Ron thought about this for a moment. "(You know what, Rufus…I think you're right! This is so cool!)" Ron chuckled loudly. "(How many other guys can say: I dropped Bonnie Rockwaller for Kim Possible?)"
Rufus started to answer, "Josh Mank-"
"(Don't go there.)" Ron said with a more serious face.
Rufus smirked, "Why? Are you jealous?"
"Of who?"
"AH!" Rufus and Ron both yelled in surprise. They turned around to find Kim smiling back.
"Hey Ron," she said sweetly. "Am I jealous of who?"
Rufus answered back, "Um, um…no, I was talking to Rufus."
"Oh." Kim shrugged and entered her locker combination. "Wait a minute…you were talking to Rufus? What's he jealous of? The dog with the flea collar?" she chuckled.
"Hey! I'll let you know that Scruffy is a no good, lousy-" Rufus paused. Kim gave him a weird glance. "I mean…that's what Rufus told me at least."
Kim mouthed a word that seemed to look like, "Ooooookaaaaaaay." Rufus blushed a little while Ron shook his head.
"Hey!" Kim said in surprise.
Ron and Rufus turned their attention back to her locker.
"What's this?" She took the pink note out of her locker and sniffed it a bit. "Ooh. Wow. This smells gooood…" she said with a sigh.
Ron folded his arms boastfully.
"Smells kind of like Mrs. Stoppable's perfume," she said, this time with a confused look.
Ron dove back into his pocket in a scurry. Kim unfolded the note…
"Dear Kim," she read out loud. "Roses are red, violets are blue. This note smells sweet, but not as sweet as you. My heart has a lock, and only you have the key…won't you please go to the dance with me?" Obviously flattered by the note, Kim cheeks burned with a light pinkish color.
"(Boo-yah!)" Ron exclaimed while Rufus nodded in approval.
"Wait…there's more: Just like the cheese needs its naco…" she looked at the rest of the sentence with a puzzled expression. "…'Won't you please let me put the meat back into your taco'???"
Rufus slapped his forehead once again and glanced at Ron, who was obviously the most clueless person on earth.
"And don't ever cover your face with something like a hood," she continued. "Cus baby, your face look reeeeeeaaaaal good. Signed, anonymous."
Rufus could hardly keep himself from throwing Ron out of his pocket. "You want me to win her over and you write a note like THAT??" he whispered.
"Well…heh…it was kinda late at night," Ron grinned nervously.
Kim folded the note and put it in her pocket. She looked up at Ron, "Heh. Well I think I know what I'm going to where tomorrow. Two pairs of jackets and a mask." She chuckled a bit. Still…she couldn't help but notice that the handwriting on the note looked awfully familiar…
"Okay Ron," Rufus said as he gasped for some air. Small beads of sweat rolled down his face. "We're here. Now what are we in such a hurry for?"
"(We can't let Kim see us doing this!)" Ron said nervously.
Rufus looked down into his pockets in confusion. "Why are you so nervous? It's not like she's following us."
