Disclaimer: Do I really need to keep adding this? Kim Possible is not owned by me. Weep for me and for the show.
Author's Notes: Mad Shoe: There are some things worse to death to some people. If he had broken his knee like that, Brick probably would never play football again. Taking the one thing that sets him apart from the crowd would be worse than dying to him.
Captain Kodak: It's not that Bonnie has more control over Ron. She has a different way of using her influence. If Kim does have romantic feelings for Ron, she has buried them deep. Black hole deep as her father would say. Kim and Ron connect on the philo type of love, while Ron and Bonnie share the eros version.
Bill: I think that the reason that Ron and Bonnie have that level of connection so fast is that when they started Ron already cared for Bonnie. Bonnie at the beginning of the story has nothing to lose. We have always been told that it makes for a dangerous person. In this case, it makes her dangerous because she can just let go and let her heart and soul take the fore instead of her head which tells her that she has to be popular etc to compete with her sisters… which could come to play here shortly.

"Alright, Miss Rockwaller, WHAT just happened in my cafeteria?"
"Brick grabbed me and was going to take me off to I don't know where. He said it was time that I knew how I was to act to who. When Ron jumped up that is when Chad and Tom grabbed him. I pleaded to Brick to let go, but his grip tightened."
She pulled up her sleeve and he could see the beginnings of a bruise on her upper arm. "I slapped him and then he went to hit me." She looked away. "That's when Ron… Ron protected me. He fought for me, not over me, but FOR me. No one has ever done that. He knocked Brick down and got free from his two loser friends. Then Brick went to attack him. The next thing I know, Brick is on the floor and Ron has his leg twisted. He wasn't going to let go. His voice… was so cold. He was talking about how they could beat on him, but since they touched me… He wasn't going to let go. I… I stepped up to Ron and got him to let go of Brick. I need to go back to him. Ron-Ron needs me."
"Okay, Rockwaller. Get him to the office. There is going to be something done. I don't like to do this but you did strike another student as did he. Even though it was in defense, Zero Tolerance is Zero Tolerance. Don't worry it won't be as severe as what will happen to those that instigated it." She turned to leave, "By the way, Bonnie. Tell him good job at finally using his back bone at school instead of on one of their missions. Of course, if you tell anyone else I said that I will deny the conversation."
The former soldier followed her back to the cafeteria to gather up the three recovering jocks. "Flagg, get over here and bring your two shadows with you. We have vacation plans to discuss." The three slumped to the crew cut man and followed him out of the gym.
Bonnie slid next to Ron and put her hand on his back. "I'll take over, K. You better get to class. Ron and I have an appointment in the office."
"Bonnie, I'm sorry. If I had been…"
"Don't worry, I wish that it could have happened differently. It didn't. Perhaps it couldn't. We'll deal. No Big, right?"
"Okay. But if you need me…"
"Call you, beep you…"
"Yeah."
"See we can still give each other a hard time, we just don't have to give it baggage. Go so at least one of us can be a practice."
"Right, Ron, I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Yeah, KP thanks."
Bonnie watched the red head leave the now emptying room. She lifted Ron's chin with her left hand and lightly kissed his lips. "Thank you."
"For fighting?"
"For defending me, for fighting FOR me, for caring about me and any number of things that I can't think of right now. Barkin said good job, not that he will admit that to anyone." She was quiet for a moment and let go of his chin. His head drooped just a bit and he nuzzled her neck. "Ron, if I hadn't stepped in…"
"I would have started on that leg, then the other and worked my way up. At least till Kim would stop me. That would have been a bad thing."
"I got you to stop easily enough."
"Like that yes it was easy. Kim would have confronted me directly. We would have fought. It would have been messy. It would have taken till I realized it was her to stop."
"So, which dog won today?"
He kissed her lightly on her jaw line. "In the end? The one that you feed. Luckily you were here to give it more than scraps."
"It can have filet mignon anytime that it wants."
"Bonnie."
"Just letting you know that my hero can have whatever he wants that I can give. Whenever he is ready for it."
Ron smiled sadly at her, "I guess it is time for me to go and face the music. I will probably be grounded after getting suspended. I'll try to get in touch with you as much as I can. My parents are savvy enough to disconnect my network cable."
"Alright, let's go."
"Thanks for the support, but you need to get to class."
Bonnie shook her head. "I struck Brick, remember? Zero Tolerance means that I get punished also. Into the breach, we go together. Hand in hand."
"Through the gates of heaven or hell." The two with fingers intertwined stood up and walked out of the cafeteria towards the foreboding hall of administration that housed the feared Office.
