Disclaimer: Though I do not own the property known as Kim Possible, I do write stories about the series as a sign of my approval of it. I wish that it would carry on as at least a spin-off after Disney cancels it. The least they could do is continue the series as OAVs. It has worked for the anime industry for how long now? Anyway, on with the show… uh, story.
"Ron, I never realized."
"You didn't let yourself realize, KP. There is a difference, but don't worry it is just a coping mechanism. And don't worry about it now. Too late. Besides you should devote your attention to Josh instead of me."
"Ron, that's not fair. I don't know why it didn't click."
"Don't worry, KP. Now you know. They will stop shortly anyway."
"That's right they will! When I get my hands on…"
"Amp down, KP, Bonnie convinced me that I should stick up for myself. I have a reason now. I didn't fight back for many reasons. One was you; I knew that if I fought back then you would know the score. You would have laid waste to them and then get kicked out of school for it. Two, I was just not worth it. Don't say anything about that KP; it's something that I am dealing with. Third, I didn't want to be responsible if I hurt them."
"Ron, I don't think that you could hurt them."
"KP, remember the one tournament that I went to? When I sparred, what happened?"
Kim thought back. They were both so excited. Kim knew she would do well in the forms and sparring. Ron, she recalled, was just in sparring. On his first match as he went to the ring his opponent made fun of him and had hit on Kim. When the referee gave the command to fight Kim saw a different Ron. This one was more aggressive, much more. On his first kick he knocked his opponent out of the ring and made him collapse. Come to find out he had two broken ribs. When they found out about this Ron went white as a sheet and withdrew from the competition.
"But that isn't normally you, Ron."
"That is the only way I could fight them, KP. All or nothing is the only way that I know. I can't fight at different levels like you do. I wish I could. There is either no fight or drop the bomb. You don't know how much I have wanted to do that to all of the freaks we fight. So I don't fight, I distract, because I know that you can take them down without taking them out."
"Maybe we can work on that. But, Ron, you should have told me about all of this. I could have done something."
"And have me being the guy that always gets saved by Kim Possible. I am that now, but only on missions so they let that slide a lot unless they are really pissed. No, thank you. I know you mean well, KP, but sometimes I have to stand alone. So are we cool?"
"Ron, we have always been cool," she said hitting him in the arm. "So, last night, nothing happened between you and Bonnie?"
"Nothing sexual, no. Not from lack of each of us wanting to at a certain level. She did give me a massage though. That was good until. Well let's just say Lil' Ron wasn't so lil'."
"Too much info, Ron."
"Well then after that we talked some and held each other. I fell asleep with my head in her lap. I was actually rested, KP. It felt right. Like the naco, but better."
Kim laughed at his comparison, "It's nice to know that the same ole Ron is in there. I know what you mean though, kind of. It's nice to be close to Josh, but I don't think that I would be comfortable sleeping like that with him. The only person that doesn't drive me crazy when I am trying to sleep is you. I'm just wondering how you slept through Bonnie's snoring."
Ron shrugged, "You know me; once I fall to sleep hardly anything will wake me, at least sound wise."
"True, you two could be made for each other that way then."
"Don't be bad talking my Bon-Bon."
"I'm not, Ron. I was talking about you," she giggled as she grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him.
He managed to get his arms up to block it. "Are we straight, KP?"
"As straight as we have ever been. It just kind of freaked me when you didn't keep me in the loop. Even with the Zita thing you let me know each step."
"Well with Zita there were steps. With Bon-Bon it was more of a fall. Luckily I think that the two of us have missed the ground."
"I think mom was going to make some cookies this afternoon, want me to see where she is on them?"
"Sure, this took a lot less time than I thought. Bonnie needed to talk to some people also."
"Be right back."
Ron stood up as she left the room, after she left he walked to her bed and flopped down on it. He heard her skip the last five steps of the stairs followed by a "KIMBERLY ANNE POSSIBLE!" from her father. Ron smiled. Things were the same here. He was glad. At least there would be a place of calm if he needed it. He heard the double steps of the twins stop at Kim's door.
"Ron and Bonnie sitting in a tree, K I S S I IN G…"
"Actually it was in her car most recently," he said smiling.
This revelation produced the "EWWW!" response that he was looking for as they hurriedly left the opening of the door. Ron chuckled to himself; it was about that age that he first realized that girls weren't some mutant life form sent to give him cooties. Of course Kim didn't count, since she was a bud and not a girl per se. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the normal sounds of the Possible household.
Upon opening them he saw Kim standing over him.
"Gah!"
"Mom says first batch out in about fifteen minutes."
"Cool. By the way, I think I have a way to keep your brothers off your case."
