Disney owns all, I am insignificant! OK, I'm definitely becoming a review junkie. After every section of a chapter, I check my email for more. I love them! Which is strange, because by writing so chapters so close together, I'm denying myself even more reviews! Aww well, so long as I have one per chapter before I post the next, I'm happy!

Bonnie's Curse – Chapter 15
Now that he knew he was inside Bonnie's head, he just had to figure out what he needed to do. Obviously, he had to find some answers as to what to do here, but he had no idea where to begin. Everyone seemed just like he remembered, Kim was like her old self, though before the whole junior prom little Diablo incident that brought them together as more than just friends. Wade acted normal enough, as did his Mom, which led him to wonder how Bonnie's head had all those details. I mean, my room had been perfect! She's never been there before, so how could that happen? Even Bonnie hadn't seemed that different, he had seen her do the exact same thing with Brick. Except it was him she was kissing! Did that mean she liked him? I mean, I know the whole acting like a bitch thing was a thing she did, but this is just too weird!
Ron decided to just play along, for now, at least till he could find some answers. As he stepped out of the bathroom, he felt arms go around his waist. Turning, he saw Bonnie there, holding him. She leaned in to kiss him, and he returned it tentatively. She pulled back a little, keeping one hand around his waist, as they headed for the next class. "Ron, are you all right? Kim said you were acting strange when you two met up this morning, and then you missed second period!"
"No big, I'm fine! I'm just not… feeling well right now. And I didn't sleep too well last night either."
Bonnie looked over at him, a slight frown on her face. "Do you want to go see the nurse or something?"
"Nahh… I'll be fine in a little bit."
She leaned in to kiss him again before letting him go. "Well, I'll see you at lunch then, OK?"
Ron watched her walk off, stopping to help someone whose books had fallen out of their locker, when he finally realized what the biggest difference was about Bonnie.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron sat in class, not paying attention to the lecture at all. He had too much on his mind.
Bonnie's not trying to be a bitch here! She helped that kid, and I haven't seen her make a comment about someone all day! Sensei mentioned she had probably retreated to a place in her mind, so this must be it! Is this what she really wants in life?
He looked down at the textbook in front of him and grimaced. She could have at least gotten me out of Physics class at least. Even in other people's fantasies, I have to suffer through this stuff!
He smiled a bit at that, before remembering he had a job to do. OK, so I play along for now, but where would I find the answers I need to help her? School? No, can't be, other than Tara she never let anyone in here. It must be at her house! And as the loving boyfriend, I should be able to get an invite no problem!
That settled, he turned back to his textbook, realizing very quickly that he had no idea what they were supposed to be reading at this point.
Oh well, it's not like I'm going to be here for very long… I hope!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch came quickly, and Ron was hungry. He knew it wasn't real, but his body told him he needed it. And besides, he had promised Bonnie, who he needed to get to invite him over that night. So he stood in line, waiting to be served. When he saw what was being served, he wondered again if Bonnie liked subconsciously torturing him. The lunch lady scooped a ladle full of some greenish, brownish glob onto his plate, and he shuddered as it wobbled on his plate. He kept looking down on it, waiting for it to try and escape on him as he made his way to the table.
Rufus awoke when he realized what time it was, poking his head of Ron's pocket, and excitedly jumping up onto the table. However, when he saw what was on the table, he almost dove right back. He tentatively stuck a paw in the congealing mass, bringing just a little bit to his mouth.
A naked mole rat does not sound great throwing up!
Kim and Monique walked up at that point, the expressions on their faces almost matching Rufus'. "So, I take it we are not eating today?" Kim went directly to the trash, dumping hers in there and holding the slot open for Monique to do the same.
"Well girl, you could always call in a favor! I'm sure at least one pizza place owes you a time or two!"
"Monique, I can't call in a favor for something like that!"
Ron pushed his own dish away. "I kinda have to go with Monique on this one, KP!"
"Go with her on what?" Bonnie said, walking up with Tara, each carrying a tray of their own, Tara poking at what was on the plate in front of her with a fork, as if waiting for the metal to dissolve or something.
Ron smiled. "Monique just suggested calling in a favor for some decent food!"
Bonnie laughed as she sat down in Ron's lap, surprising him quite a bit, but he tried not to show it. "Sounds like an idea! Even better, since we're seniors, we can just go out for lunch! I brought my car, we can be there and back in no time!"
The others quickly agreed, and they got up to go for some real food!
Ron failed to watch where he was stepping when he stood up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron was in the bathroom, rubbing furiously at the mess on his backside. He looked at Rufus sitting on the counter, who looked on apologetically.
"You know little buddy, if you're going to throw up, could you do it where I'm not going to step!"
Rufus just nodded several times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch was great, as they just sat around talking and eating. It felt good to Ron to be enjoying himself like this, but he felt a bit guilty as well, knowing it wasn't real. He could almost understand why Bonnie would go on a mental retreat to a place like this. Other than the fact that Bonnie had her arm around his waist, it felt so… normal. Ron ordered his regular order, and watched as Kim, Monique, and Tara ordered something light. Bonnie surprisingly ordered a naco, and was even more surprised when she polished off the whole thing.
They wrapped up when they noticed the time. Ron let the other girls go first, and then stopped Bonnie. "How about we go to your place tonight? Watch a couple movies and just cuddle on the couch?" Ron knew the same thing always worked on Kim, and hoped it would work here as well.
Bonnie looked up at him a little hesitantly. "Well, why don't we do that at your place?"
That was the sign Ron was looking for. Now he knew for sure that her house would be where the answers were. "We could, but my mom is on a major cleaning spree right now. I told her I was having you over for dinner to celebrate our anniversary, and she wants everything to be spotless!"
She smiled, remembering the dinner he had promised her. "All right, but best behavior. My parents will be home."
He smiled back, "When am I ever not on my best behavior?"
She kissed him lightly, before turning to head out the door. "You do remember the time my father almost walked in on us, saying we were making too much noise?"
Ron was so glad that she couldn't see his face at that moment, as the shock of that knowledge was a bit much for him to handle.
Woah!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, Bonnie not only likes me, she's imagined us having sex! That is so… OK, head back in the game, Stoppable. You love Kim, very much, and Bonnie is not well and needs help. It's just the hormones talking here, and you are better than that!
Fourth period was his favorite class, home economics, and he could do the class work without even thinking, which was good, because he had a lot going through his head at that moment.
I just never imagined that girls thought like that! Does Kim think like that? I mean, we haven't exactly discussed it other than to agree that we should wait, but it's just cool that girls think like that, like guys do! And Bonnie thinks that way about… All right, focus, focus!
All right, so I know that the answers lie at her place, that much I could see by how reluctant Bonnie was to have me over. I just have to get through the day, get to her place, and we can get back to reality!
His crepes turned out perfectly, but disappeared down Rufus' throat the second his back was turned. When he turned back, Rufus was just lying on his back, patting his extended stomach, and smiling happily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phys ed was by far the course he hated most of all. Fortunately, it came at the end of the day, so he knew there was nothing that there was nothing else to bother him the rest of the day there. Unfortunately, Barkin had decided to teach the class how to play rugby. Ron still remembered the last, and only time, he had played, when he was stuck to Mr. Barkin. He could still feel the pain of it.
Ron tried to keep away from the ball as much as he could, staying away from the pack. If I can keep it up for just 20 minutes more…
Of course, as soon as that thought entered his mind, he saw the ball fly directly towards him, hitting his chest directly. He stood there, watching Brick and some other muscle bound oaf charging towards him. I'm gonna die!
His reactions kicked in just before contact would have been made. He twisted away from Brick, felt the rush of air as he passed him. Ron ducked the next one, who looked like he was trying to remove his head. Ron started running, as fast as he could, dodging as much as he possibly could. That's when he heard cheering behind him, and he realized that he had crossed the goal line. Ron was stunned! He put the ball down, and realized there was only one thing he could do.
He started a happy dance! He started with an O Boys routine, getting into the rhythm of it, celebrating loudly.
That was when his shorts fell down to his ankles, and the cheers became laughs. Ron looked down and just sighed.
Bonnie definitely likes torturing me!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheerleading practice was just getting started when Ron got there, having to shower and change first. Bonnie practically skipped over to him, giving him a quick kiss.
"So, we've decided to add some of Kim's modifications to the routine, to try and spice it up. Upperton is supposedly going all out this year, and we have to be ready!"
"Sounds great! I can't wait to see it!"
Bonnie smacked him playfully on the chest. "You better just keep your eyes on me the whole time!"
Ron laughed, and she turned back to the squad. Ron wasn't surprised to see Bonnie leading the squad, but the fact that Kim worked on the routines with her caught him a bit off guard. He knew this was a different Bonnie, but they were always so competitive when it came to the squad that it seemed strange to see them work together. He sat there, watching the routine for the first part, but found himself focusing on Kim as she went through her moves. He was so caught up that he didn't notice Bonnie walk up to him.
"Should I be getting jealous here?"
That woke Ron up quickly. "No, umm… I just think Kim's a little off on her timing!"
"What? I am not off on my timing!" Ron winced, really wishing she hadn't heard that. "Can you tell your boyfriend that my timing is not off!"
Bonnie started laughing. "So when he does something good he's your friend, when he does something wrong, he's MY boyfriend?"
"YES!" Kim kept a straight face a moment longer before she started laughing as well.
Bonnie gave Ron a quick kiss, then headed back to the floor. "All right people, from the top. We have a competition next week, and we have to be ready!" She turned back to Kim for a moment, smiling. "And try to keep better timing, Kimmie!"
Kim gave her a light slap on the arm, mumbling something about "timing you", and they started the routine again.
Ron sat there quietly at that point. He only had to wait a couple more hours, and then he would have all the answers he'd need to help Bonnie!

Author's Notes – I thought, considering how dark I'm going to get shortly, a little humour might be nice at this point. I didn't even really plan on this chapter by itself. Even just a few hours ago, when I was posting the other chapter, I figured this would be a couple paragraphs, then on to the darker stuff, when I realized that it might be fun to explore this a little deeper. Hope you enjoyed it!
I'd like to thank the following;
mattb3671 – Actually, I felt great after all that writing. My brain wasn't responding too well though. Normally when I write, I don't have a single error, but by the fourth chapter that day, I had about 12 corrections to make. And that line was from Firefly, awesome series, one of my favorite lines of the whole series!
The Metal One – Yup, this is a multi-chapter day, filled with angsty goodness!
