I really intended this to be longer but I was having trouble keeping it going so i decided to post this and start a new chapter. I do have an idea of where the whole thing is going though so there will be more chapters. Just in time.
Ron So the Normal – Chapter 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monkey Fist's Lair
"Hmmm." Monkey Fist stood in front of the fireplace, the flames dancing in his eyes. He turned and paced back and forth twice placing his hands behind his back as he mused. "This is most interesting." His brow furrowed and brought his right palm out in front of him, looking at it as if contemplating some deep universal phenomenon. He suddenly looked back at the three monkeys behind him. "And you say they have chosen each other as Mates?" The three primates began hopping up and down chirping and screeching.
"This is not unforeseen." He held his chin in thought. "The mystical monkey power is a strange force." He waved his hands dramatically. He looked back down at his minions before him. "Perhaps." he paused. "We can use this...perhaps we can persuade the buffoon." He crept over to a tall bookshelf and began talking out loud as villains often do. "So my counter part, young Stoppable, does not understand the power of the Mystical Monkey power. Even after wielding it so skillfully in Japan, he still has not fully accepted the power." Monkey Fist continued now talking more to his monkey ninjas than him self as he pulled a large ancient book from the shelf.
"This power is not given by chance. We who bare it are born to it. From our very conception we are meant to obtain the power." He flipped open the ancient book and ran his fingers along the text. "There have been those before us who have rejected the power; those before us who did not realize the significance of the Mystical Monkey Power." He stepped out onto the open balcony looking up at the night sky, his ninjas following at his feet.
"If what you have told me is true." he paused contemplating, "This may be the opportunity...this may be the opportunity to regain what he cheated from me." His brow dove angrily. "If that buffoon chooses to reject his share of the power, THEN I WILL GLADLY RELEIVE HIM OF IT!" Fiske bellowed loudly into the night's darkness, his minions howling and screeching along with him.
Ron on his scooter
Ron's scooter sputtered to a stop just out of sight of Kim's front lawn. He took a deep breath as he took off his helmet and stowed it on the seat. "Alright Rufus, you know the plan? It's late so if I wanna talk to Kim it's gonna hafta be chill. Bon-digity?" he looked at Rufus expectantly.
Rufus squeaked enthusiastically and gave a thumbs up, "Bondigity!"
"Great, I'm glad you got it all down." Ron looked up at Kim's room window and mumbled to himself, "Just wish I knew what I was doing." He sighed and scrambled into Kim's backyard taking caution to stick to the shadows of the landscaping. Finally he was happy with his position under her window and opened the flap on Rufus's pocket. The naked mole rat zipped stealthily across the grass and scaled the side of the house.
Kim lie in her bed poised over her chemistry textbook, she stared at it blankly apparently not all that interested in studying. Next to her book among some paper and pencils lay the picture of her and Ron from the prom. She had taken it from her nightstand as she took her books out of her school bag and now sat there looking at it dreamily. She looked at Ron happily, and then looked at the phone waiting for him to call.
"Tapp Tapp Tapp,"
Kim started and looked away from the phone. "Huh? What was that?"
"Tapp Tapp Tapp."
Her eyes darted around the room quickly finally stopping at the window. "Who's there?" She called out confidently. She dashed to the window and peered outside but saw nothing. Kim squinted trying to get a better view. "That's funny." She turned and walked away from the window and grabbed the covers on her bed.
"Tapp Tapp Tapp." Kim jumped again and scanned the entire window carefully. "RUFUS! She reached out, unlocked and threw open the window. "Rufus! What's wrong? Why are here you here by yourself? Where's Ron?"
But before she could finish interrogating him the little mole rat scampered back down the side of the house and out into the back yard past Ron, stopping only to give his human friend a thumbs up before leaving.
"Heh, Thanks little buddy." He grinned, weak kneed, as he watched his rodent pal bound off towards home. He then turned to face the direction of Kim's window again and waited for his thoughts to gather. Kim's eyes had been following Rufus as he scampered across the lawn only to come to a stall as he passed Ron in the yard. She leaned her head to the side looking puzzled at Ron.
"Heh, hey Kim." Ron said sheepishly from the center of her backyard.
"Ron! What on earth are you doing here it's almost 10!" Kim looked down at him feigning aggravation although deep down she was glad he had come.
"I know Kim, but I wanted to talk to you. It's important. I kinda need to talk…ever since that night, you know with us captured and Eric… I promised myself, if I had something to say, I was going to do my best to say it!" Ron quietly looked at the ground.
"Oh." She was a little surprised by his boldness. It took her by surprise and she almost melted listening to his words. "Umm, Hold on!" And with that she disappeared from the window.
"What!" Ron watched her disappear from the window. He was the puzzled as the kitchen light flickered on and the backdoor creaked open. Kim poked her head out cautiously, looked around, and then stepped out and began walking towards Ron. As she reached him she slipped her arm around his and pulled him gently towards the far end of the yard.
"Common." She smiled in the darkness. Let's go sit on the rock." He silently followed her to the end of the lawn where a large slab of a bolder lie decorating the yard. She hopped up on the stone, sat down, and looked over at Ron as she patted the spot beside her. He sat next to her quietly and tried to gather his thoughts. Kim sat there looking up at the moon and listening to Ron. He was breathing heavily, obviously deep in thought. She looked hard at the moon as if contemplating and then leaned over slowly against Ron's shoulder and laid her head on it.
"So...what's the sitch?" She asked in a quiet voice.
He started quietly. "I'm sorry about this afternoon KP."
Kim interrupted him. "No big. Just a little…" He interrupted her this time.
"No! Very big!" He calmed a bit from the out burst. "Kim, I, I don't want to upset you." He looked very distraught. "I wanna be that boyfriend you've always wanted! I wanna be your Eric. This has been a dream come true and I don't want it to crash and burn and go down in smoke." He made motions with his hands like a plane diving in a fiery crash as he spoke.
"I, I, just..."
Kim grabbed is face and turned it to her, forcing them to look into each others eyes. "Ron, I don't want you to be my Eric, I want you to be my Ron." She smiled gently. And don't worry so much, this is real and we can make it work. Besides, Eric was a synthodrone. Why would I want you to be a synthodrone?" she smiled at Ron teasingly.
"But KP, this has been so awkweird the past week or so." Ron rubbed the side of his arm.
"Oh, so you don't want to date me?" She rolled her eyes away from him and grinned to herself.
"No, no nothing like that! This has been a dream come true…" His words trailed off quietly as he realized the impact of his words.
Kim almost whispered as she cuddled in closer. "Really?"
"Yeah. You're my everything KP. I would be lost without you." Ron looked over and smiled at her weakly.
She reached around and took Ron's hand and pulled his arm around her. "I think about you the same way you know. I mean, yeah it took me a little while to realize it, but I do. Honestly I think I always have, actually I've known it before, felt it before. We've both just kinda ignored it." She grew quieter as she spoke, she could feel the warmth of Ron's arms around her.
"Yeah. Kinda funny. Right there the whole time." Ron starred off into the night sky as he spoke softly.
They sat there quietly for quite a while just enjoying the feeling of touching each other un-prohibited. It was a new feeling for both of them. Sure they had always touched before, a friendly hug, a warm embrace, an excited high five, but this was so much different. Now touching was new and exciting, both of their hearts raced and fluttered at each accidental contact of skin. Years of repressed, denied feelings streamed out towards each other. At that moment as far as they were concerned they were the only two people on the planet and they deserved it
The Next Morning
The two of them sat there like that all night. Once in awhile one of them would doze off leaving the other to watch as they slept. Finally the sun began to rise from behind the trees bathing the two in warmth. Ron lifted his head from where he had rested it on the nape of Kim's neck and sleepily looked at the sunrise. He smiled and looked down at Kim, his arms wrapped around her keeping her warm through the night.
She's so beautiful.
Ron thought to himself. Suddenly he snapped fully awake. KIM! A vision of a rocket flying into a black hole raced through his minds eye.
"Kim!" Ron began whispering franticly as he tried to wake her gently.
Kim sleepily answered him "Oh Ronnie let me sleep a little longer." She cuddled closer into Ron's chest.
Ron blinked in dismay. "Ronnie? Eh Weird!" He dove back to the task at hand.
"Kim! We've got to go! Your dads gonna shoot me into space like a monkey!"
He shook Kim a little more forcefully as he whispered.
Kim woke up and looked at the sun rising. She yawned and stretched and then looked over at Ron. She smiled sleepily and then suddenly snapped into panic.
"Oh my gosh! Its morning! Your still here! We're outside!" She leapt up dragging Ron by the arm. "Ron you've got to go!" She reached the kitchens back door as she finished the sentence and frantically spun Ron around, grabbed the sides of his face, kissed him, and pushed him away towards the front yard. "I'll see you at school, don't worry it'll be ok. Bye!" And with that she stepped into the house and snapped the door shut behind her.
Ron's scooter buzzed down the rather empty road. The morning had been a whirlwind as he had left Kim's house. Getting home had taken way too long but as usual his parents hadn't really paid much attention as he came in. He had quickly showered, dressed and scooped up Rufus leaving just enough time to scrounge through the fridge for something for breakfast. After gobbling down some cold pizza he was on his way again, his backpack slung over his shoulder and Rufus nestled in his pocket.
"I hope Kim doesn't end up late." He said to himself out loud. Ron, it was normal for him to be late, but not Kim. His arms held the handle bars tensely trying to coax a little more speed from the tired scooter. Suddenly his eyes grew wide as he saw Kim up ahead of him jogging up the side walk, her book bag bouncing with her stride.
"Kim!" Ron slowed up as he pulled up along side her but did not stop. "Common Kim, get on!"
Kim finally noticed Ron and needed no second invitation. Without missing a beat she swung herself up onto the scooter behind Ron and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"No way we'll be on time." Kim half shouted over the buzz of the engine, her red hair flying behind her as she held onto Ron tightly. Her face nestled against the back of his neck and the helmet she had hastily slung on bumped against the back of Ron's helmet. Ron, although occupied with piloting the scooter, could not help but exhale happily as he felt her huddled against his back.
This still feels so strange. Kim thought to her self as the scooter bumped down the street. I really like being this close to Ron, it… feels so right, so different, yet, the same as always. Her mind snapped back to her tardiness as she saw the school approaching steadily.
"No worries KP, I know a short cut!" Ron leaned forward as if his scooter was a rocket as they pulled into the school lot. The scooter bumped across the speed bumps and Kim prepared herself to hop off but Ron didn't stop at the front entrance; he kept going, hoping the bike up over a curb and into the grass. The scooter followed the grass around the building to a little used back door: realization hit Kim as she recognized the door leading into the main hall and the room her first class resided in. She hoped off before Ron had a chance to bring the scooter to a stop but not before she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"See you inside!" She called back to him as she ran in through the back door. Ron pulled off towards the parking lot just as Kim slid into her seat without a minute to spare. She sighed in relief but frowned to herself, she knew Ron would not be so lucky.
