Hey, seriously, I'm sorry for updating only once a week. I'd do more but school work is really piling up. Thanks for all my loyal readers and reviewers! Peace.
DINGDONG
"Ugh...who could that be?"
Bonnie irritably closed her text book and slammed her pen down on the desk. She stomped over to the door, making her way past Gigi, her little pet poodle, and opened the door without looking.
"Hello, Rockwaller residence...what the- Ron?? I mean, ahem what do YOU want?" she said, changing expressions quickly. When she saw him, though, she almost showed some compassion. "Ew. What happened to you?"
Out of breath and sweating profusely, Ron threw out his sentences as fast as he could. "Kim...is...chasing...me...please...HELP!"
Bonnie crossed her arms defiantly. "You came all the way to my house just so you could include me in your stupid game of hide and seek?"
"No! Kim...is...crazy!!"
Ignoring the urge to make a smart retort, Bonnie just looked at Ron strangely. "How so?"
"She...just started acting weird, all of a sudden...then, she tried to put this thing on my head...I don't know what it is, either, but she's still chasing me!" Ron gasped for air one last time before going back to normal breathing.
Finding his story to be hard to believe, Bonnie turned her back on him and annoyingly shook her head. "You two are so weird..."
"Wait!" Ron said, stopping the door before it closed. "I'm serious!...wait." He took a better look at Bonnie and squinted his eyes to make sure he was seeing correctly. "What is that?"
"What is what?" Bonnie sneered.
"THAT..." he pointed. "That shirt you're wearing...'I love Cuddle Buddies'...hey, Kim has that shirt, too. She never wears it anywhere but at home, though," Ron chuckled.
"Err...um..."
"And what's THAT?" Ron said, pointing to the stack of shelves behind Bonnie. "Woah...so many cute little animals...haha!" Ron laughed, realizing what was going on. "Bonnie! YOU like Cuddle Buddies, too??? Haha! When I found out that Kim still liked them, she made me promise not to tell anyone...aw crap, I just told you..."
Without thinking, Bonnie took off her embarrassing t-shirt and tossed off to the side.
"W-w-what shirt??" she asked nervously.
"That shirt...the one you just tossed over there. What, you really think I'm gonna fall for that?? I'm not THAT dumb..."
Bonnie instantly grabbed Ron by the shoulders and looked at him wide-eyed. "YOU. BETTER NOT tell anyone at school about this. No one can know about my..."
"...Obsession?"
Bonnie nodded. "Or else I will get you back so bad...so bad...that I can't even think about what I'm going to do."
Surprised, to say the least, Ron's face flushed red as he backed off a little bit and looked Bonnie in the face. "You uh...might wanna get fully clothed before touching me like that..."
"Huh? Oh. Hehe...my bad..." Bonnie turned even redder than Ron was and fetched her shirt from the floor, covering up her undergarments while doing so. "That never leaves the house either," she warned.
"I can keep my mouth shut...for a price," Ron grinned.
"Ew! My parents are home right now! I can't do that!"
"What?" Ron asked confusedly. It took him a while to get the message. "Oh...no!! I wasn't gonna ask nothing like THAT. I was just gonna ask you to drive me to the docks. In a hurry. Like. Now."
"Oh okay..." Bonnie blushed again. "Let me make myself decent first..."
"Alright but hurry up. I lost Kim at a corner but she might be coming soon..."
Bonnie nodded and ran to her room, mortified from the experience that had just occurred.
'Okay...' she thought to herself. 'Ron Stoppable...of all people...just learned my most embarrassing secret AND he saw me half naked. What else could go wrong??'
In a few seconds, only, Bonnie came back with a different shirt and wearing her same skin-tight jeans she had one before. Ron couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable around her.
"Get in the car," she ordered.
Ron did and she started the engine up before backing out of her unusually large driveway. In fact, her whole house was unusually big...
"Wow. Nice house you got here Bon Bon," Ron said casually.
"Whatever...and don't call me Bon Bon," she spat.
"Cuddle Buddies..." Ron reminded her.
She growled but continued to drive quickly and efficiently to the docks. Ron was surprised, but then he remembered how good of a driver Bonnie was when Kim and he took their drivers' tests at school. She got them there in practically no time.
When they got there, Bonnie was still as grumpy as ever. She stopped the car sharply, on purpose, so Ron would fall forward.
"Hey! Watch it!" he complained, holding on to his seat belt.
"Oops. Sorry," Bonnie said sarcastically. "What do you have to be at the docks for anyway?"
"I'm gonna take a helicopter to Drakken's Lair."
"To what?" Bonnie looked at him stranger than usual. "What is that?"
"Drakken's Lair. Ever heard of it?? Do you read the papers??"
"Drakken's...Lair? Is that like Disneyland or something?"
Ron laughed. "You're pretty funny Bonnie..."
"No. I was being serious."
"...Oh. Well, it don't matter. You're coming along anyway..."
"I'm WHAT!? I'm not going on some crazy helicopter ride to some Dragon's house!"
"DRAKKEN."
"Whatever! I'm not going anywhere! Why do you need my help anyway? You're like some super crime fighting hero, anyway? Right?"
"Aww... I'm flattered..."
"Don't be. By the look on your face I can tell that Kim probably does all the work. Doesn't she?"
Ron ignored the question and gave Bonnie a smirk. "If you don't come with me, I'll tell everyone at school about your Cuddle Buddies..."
She growled loudly at Ron, but finally stepped out of her car. "Ugh! Fine! Just don't expect me to pull out some kung foo-jitso like Kim would..."
"Great! You'll be my sidekick!"
"Sidekick?? I play second to no one. ESPECIALLY you."
"C'mon. You know you like me," Ron teased.
This made Bonnie's glare even more intense, though Ron could see her blush a little, too. "Look, just don't CALL me a sidekick and we'll be fine."
"Alright whatever..."
Ron led the way to the familiar landing spot, where he found Hugo, the helicopter pilot waiting for them.
"Kim...Possible?" Hugo asked them, using a very noticeable Spanish accent.
"No, Hugo. Kim's not here. But I'm her friend Ron Stoppable."
"Ron...Stoppable?"
"Yes Hugo. I...am...Ron...do...you...remember...me?" Ron asked slowly.
Hugo grunted then nodded his head. "You break my windows?"
"...Uh...yeah, I guess I kinda did..." Ron said, thinking back to the last time they had met.
Hugo glared at Ron, similar to Bonnie's reaction earlier, but he took a seat in the helicopter, signaling that he was ready to go.
"Heh. I see you two get along pretty well," Bonnie remarked.
Ron grinned sheepishly then opened the passenger side door of the helicopter. He waved his hand to Bonnie. "Ladies first."
She didn't say a word, but Ron almost saw a smile curling on her lips.
He closed the door once both of them were seated and buckled in, then they both waited for the steady liftoff of the helicopter.
A little later...
Surprisingly, Ron and Bonnie hadn't said a word since liftoff. In fact, it wasn't until Bonnie spoke up that Ron stopped staring out the window.
"Hey," she said softly.
Ron turned slowly. "Yeah?"
"You haven't talked in a while. I'm just checking to make sure...you know...that you're..."
"...alright?" Ron finished her sentence.
"...Yeah," she sighed. "I always thought you were kinda loud."
"I am...but I can be serious, too. I was just thinking about what we're gonna do when we get there..."
"Oh...hey."
Ron looked at her again. "Yeah?"
"How come you and Kim always hang out together but you've never gone out?"
Ron blushed. He wasn't expecting the interrogation from Bonnie. He was surprised that she even cared...but she did look pretty nice right now...maybe her mean front was nothing but a shield to protect her true insecurities...
"Hey! I was talking to you! Don't just look away like that!"
Or maybe not...
"I don't know...how am I supposed to answer a question like that?"
"With the truth...unless you're hiding it or something..." Bonnie teased.
"..."
"...So you DO like her! I knew it!" Bonnie said outloud.
Ron smiled good-naturedly. A few seconds of talking, and he had already started feeling more comfortable around Bonnie. Weird... "Hey, don't tell anyone though. Or else I'll tell them about YOUR little secret."
"Deal." Bonnie chuckled. "So how come you've never told her about your little crush?"
"Because...she's like Ms. Perfect. How is she supposed to like a guy like ME?"
"...You should tell her."
"Yeah right..."
"No really." Bonnie gained eye contact with Ron. "Just ask her if she wants to go to the movies or something. And if she thinks you're asking just as a friend, tell her that you'll pay for it. That's always a sure-fire hint..."
"But..."
"Believe me Ron...I don't know why I'm helping you...but you and Kim would make a good couple if either of you just said something about it."
Ron's face turned a dark shade of red.
"If ANY guy can make a girl as happy as you make Kim, then they should at least TRY going out."
"Wow...that's deep."
"Eh..." Bonnie shrugged.
Ron laughed. "Are you sure that Kim likes me?"
"No."
"What?? Then why're you trying to get me to ask her out??"
"BECAUSE, that's the right thing to do...it's also the MANLY thing to do, instead of just sitting home, daydreaming about it."
Ron grinned nervously. He knew deep down that Bonnie was right, but he was having second thoughts about it.
"And don't have second thoughts about it."
'Wow. Is she like a mind-reader??'
"Worst that could happen: you ask Kim out, she says no, you feel bad for about a week, then you two gradually start talking to each other again, and you end up back to where you started."
"...And what's the best that could happen?" Ron asked curiously.
"Hmm...best case scenario: you two go out and have a great time, you end up staying as a couple until you get married, and you get the one thing that every guy wants..."
"A happily married spouse to live my life with for better or for worse?"
"Pft No. All you guys want is-"
"We're here!!" Hugo announced from the pilot's chair.
Ron and Bonnie looked out the window to see the shady refuge of the one and only, Dr. Drakken.
"...Hey. Bonnie."
"What?" Bonnie asked, reverting back to her cranky old self.
"Thanks for having this little talk with me..."
"...You're welcome..." she muttered.
"What was that?"
"I said, 'whatever.'"
Ron shrugged and handed her a mission outfit. "Here. This is Kim's. I'll turn around so you can get dressed first."
Bonnie nodded and began to undress. "Wow. This thing actually looks pretty sexy."
Ron gulped nervously.
Bonnie heard this and laughed at him. "I know you think this thing looks good on Kim..." she said slyly.
"...Kinda..."
"Well...if it looks good on Kim, it'll look even better on me," she announced.
Ron waited a minute or two for Bonnie to get herself dressed. "Done."
"Whew. Thank you. My eyes were beginning to see stars!" Ron said, opening his eyes.
"Haha...you ACTUALLY closed your eyes? I was SURE that you would've tried to get a sneak peak."
"Nah. Already seen that at your house."
Bonnie laughed again. "...You're sweet. So gentlemanly. Don't think I'm coming on to you or anything, but I wished more guys were like you..."
"That's what all the girls say..." Ron mumbled. "Except Kim..."
JOKE OF THE DAY:
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with three young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."
He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."
At this point, the third mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, let's go."
