Return to Middleton and Medical Emergency

During the flight home, Ron's head lolls over to the side, concerning Kim. She asks, "Ron, you okay?" When he doesn't reply, she feels his forehead, only to yelp in pain and draw her hand back. His forehead is scorching hot. She says, "Those chemicals must have had something to do with this." She then goes to the galley and gets some ice and a towel. She makes a crude compress and goes back to Ron's side.

Once it's on his forehead, she sees steam coming off of his forehead. She leaves the compress in place even though the steam has started to taper off. She then lifts it off to check his forehead again and nods in satisfaction. His temperature is back to normal range. Not wanting to take chances, she gets up, goes to the galley and gets some more ice.

When she gets back, she's relieved to see Ron's all right. He then asks, "What's wrong, KP? You look like I came close to dying."

Kim nods and replies, "Yeah, very close. Your forehead was really scorching, real bad. It burned my hand." She sits down and shows him the burned hand.

Ron says, "I'm sorry about that, KP. Maybe it's something to do with those chemicals."

Kim replies, "I was wondering the same thing myself. Let's go to the Hospital when we get home, just to be on the safe side."

Ron mulls this over and says, "Nah, I'm sure it was just a one time thing. No big, really."

Kim, still concerned for her best friend, says, "Okay. If you change your mind, I'm here."

Ron smiles and says, "Okay, KP. Thanks." Kim nods in reply. Fifteen minutes later, they arrive at her house and the two friends go their separate ways.

Meanwhile, while driving, Bonnie had heard about the conclusion of Kim and Ron's latest mission, where the only mention of Ron was the mis-pronouncement of his name. This causes Bonnie's teeth to grind.

She then says, "If only those idiots could learn to say Ron's name right. I mean, Kim does, her parents do, his parents do and so do I. So why can't everyone else?" Her phone then rings and she says, "This is Bonnie. Tara, hello. Yes, I'm out driving. Shopping tomorrow? Yeah, I think I could make it."

Meanwhile, Ron is walking home when his fever comes back. He loses his orientation so quickly, he can't avoid going into the street and falling flat on his side. As he goes unconscious, he doesn't hear the car coming up on him.

In the car, Bonnie sees Ron staggering then falling and thinks, 'Is he drunk? Or is it something else?' She then says, "Tara, I'll be right back. Ron Stoppable just fell onto the street. I'd better make sure that loser didn't spray his blood all over the street." She gets out of the car and hears him barely breathing. Worried, she gently tugs on his shirt and is horrified to see the sight. Sweat coming out of his pores, pale and clammy skin.

She goes back to her car and says, "Tara, I want you to call Kim. Tell her I'm on my way to her place with Ron. Looks like he's burning up. I'm gonna feel his chest and see just how bad he is." She returns to his side and lifts up his shirt. She then puts a hand on the side of his chest and moves to his front, hoping he'll be all right and understanding. He's extremely warm and Bonnie realizes he's very sick. She lifts him up and drags him into her car.

She tells him, "Hang in there, Ron. Hang in there. Gonna get you to Kim's. I better call her." She gets her phone and dials Kim's number. She then says, "Kim, I'm on my way with Ron right now. His chest is severely warm and his forehead's bound to be the same." She chokes back a sob as she continues. "Get some cold water going and put some ice in it. I don't want this loser to die. It's no fun if he's not around." She hangs up, looks over at Ron and smiles gently. She then blows him a kiss and they shortly arrive at Kim's house.

Kim comes outside to her car and yells, "I've got the ice water in the tub! How long has he been like this?"

Bonnie exits her car, shrugs and replies, "He was like this when I came across him. Looks like he fell just before I got to his location." She opens her door and starts bringing him out. She feels his chest and reels it back. His chest is seriously, dangerously hot. She then says, "Let's get him inside, undressed and into the tub. The longer we gab, the more likely he'll die!" She starts sobbing as Kim takes his ankles and the two teens carry the sick boy they know and regard.

When they get to the bathroom, Bonnie says, "Kim, call your Mom. I'll get Ron undressed and into the tub." Kim nods and leaves Bonnie to it. Bonnie closes and locks the door. She then looks slyly at Ron and says, "Alone at last, my darling Ron. Let's get you undressed and cooled down, yesterday." She strips him down to his boxers, puts on a pair of oven mitts and gently places him in the tub, seeing steam come up from the water as Ron goes in.

Bonnie quips, "I always felt you're hot stuff, but this is ridiculous." She then giggles at the analogy she just did. She then hears a knock at the door. She says, "Just a minute." She goes over to the door and opens it. She is surprised to see Kim with a smile on her face.

Kim then says, "So you're the one that left Ron that note. Are you being real or just plain mean? Because if you're being mean, I'll turn you inside out."

Bonnie sighs and says, "I'm being real, Kim. I've had my eyes on him for a while now and just can't help feeling like this."

"Then why the 'secret admirer' signature?"

"It's the only way I can think of to keep Ron from going into shock when he learns it's me. After all the times I've bad-mouthed him, it just might be too much for him."

Kim nods in understanding and says, "Here's some more ice. Go ahead and put it in there with him. Mom should be here soon." Bonnie nods and accepts the ice bucket. She pours the whole thing in, spreading the ice around until it totally covers Ron.

She waits by his side, Kim with her until they hear Mrs. Dr. Possible come inside and call out, "Kimmie, where are you!"

Kim replies, "We're up here, Mom!" She winks at Bonnie, letting her know her secret crush on Ron is safe with her. Bonnie returns the wink and smiles back at Ron, wiping his forehead with a damp washcloth.
