Chapter 15: Review
Ron, Monique and Bon Bon were sitting in the High school cafeteria. No one was eating. Kim hobbled over, using her cane with one hand and carrying a lunch tray in the other. Ron got up to help her but was quickly shot down by a glare from Kim.
"Don't be mad at me, Kim," Ron chided. "You know I was raised to follow the proper etiquette. I see someone who needs a helping hand, and I automatically react."
Kim smiled and patted his hand. "I know, Ron. Thank you for the thought. But you know me I will always fight through these little difficulties. My leg is sore and my shoulder might hurt like the Dickens, but I will persevere!" She looked around the table. "Why isn't anyone eating?"
"Kim! Did that black eye cause you to lose you sense of smell?" Monique said quickly. "The food here has never been very good..."
Everyone chimed in unison, "Except when Ron was in charge." Then they all said, "Jinx!..."
Bon Bon said, "All tie, no sodas awarded!"
"Anyway," Monique continued. "I was saying, this stuff ain't even food!"
Kim took a sniff and pushed it aside. "I think I have a granola bar in my locker." Rufus jumped up on the table and was about to dive in when he took a sniff. He pinched his nose closed with one paw and said "P.U.!" He looked at Ron who just shrugged. Rufus ducked back into Ron's pocket.
"So Shego was invisible when she did all that to you," Bon asked.
"Cloaked," both Ron and Kim said. Kim opened her mouth but Ron just held up a hand. "Thirty two!" he said. He thought for a moment, then added, "Why don't we say I but the soda for the rest of our lives."
"Ron, that's so sweet!" Kim cooed. She gave him a big hug.
Bon growled, "Yea, that's sweet and all but can we get back to the Shego problem?"
"Bon, I know you're without a boyfriend right now, but don't revert back to Bonnie because of it," Ron berated her.
Monique threw her arms around Bon Bon. "I'll be your boyfriend!"
Bon looked shocked, then a wicked little grin spread across her face. She hugged Monique and gave her a little peck on the lips. "Your place or mine?" she asked suggestively.
It was Monique's turn to look shocked. She backed out of the embrace and stuttered, "I... I... I was just kidding." She regained her composure. "Besides, I'm seeing Felix right now and I'm not sure if he'd let me start dating someone else." They all laughed.
Bon got serious. "There has to be a way to get around the cloaking."
Kim pulled the Kimmunicator out of her pocket. "Let's get Wade in on this conversation." She activated the device. "Wade, the four of us are knocking around ideas to help next time we go up against a cloaked Shego. What have you got so far?"
Wade took a sip of his ever-present soda. "I've been going over the reading with the G.J. scientists and we're stumped. We figure Blackout is using a combination of chemical and electrical properties to make light bend around his suit. But without knowing what chemicals, we haven't a clue as to what to do. We have figured out why her plasma powers are affected while cloaked. The electrical field cancels them out."
Kim thought a second. "That's a good thing too. Otherwise, I'd be toast!" She rubbed her shoulder and shifted in her chair.
Bon brightened with an idea. "If they've taken away one of your senses, why not focus on the others. Is there any way to enhance your smell? I mean they have to sweat. Maybe you could smell Shego's perfume?"
Kim frowned. "I've battled Shego may times and I don't remember her ever sweating, though I do remember a distinct scent of lavender."
Wade started to type on his keyboard. "That's an interesting idea. I'll get right on it. Also, I might be able to rig up some type of enhanced hearing device to help you hear their heart beat or breathing. I get with Global Justice and work those angles." He closed the connection.
Kim noticed Ron was staring into space, his brown eyes were glowing blue. She waved a hand in front of his face. "Ron. Ron! Are you O.K.?" Nothing. "Earth to Ron!"She turned to Monique and Bon. "I've never seen him like this before."
"Isn't the blue glow suppose to be his Mystical Monkey Mojo stuff?" Monique asked.
"Yea, but usually they kick in when he's awake. I've never seen him in a trance like this!" Kim went to touch his shoulder, but stopped. "I'm not sure if I should shake him out of it or not."
"It might be best to let him be," Bon said. "Maybe the MMP is telling him how to handle Shego."
"No," Ron said as he snapped out of his daze. "I was talking with Sensei."
"Talking with Sensei?" Kim asked quizzically. How?... Where?..." she gathered her thoughts. "When did you learn to do that?"
Ron rubbed the back of his neck and sheepishly grinned. "Well, it's a long story, but Sensei and I have been communicating telepathically for quite a while now. He sends his greetings, by the way."
"Nice," Kim said warily. "What were you two...ah, talking about?"
"Wellll... mostly about the weather. It's a little cool at Yamanouchi and they had some snow last week." Ron looked away, rubbed his nose and started breathing heavily.
"Roooon!" Kim said in frustration. "You know you can't keep a poker face. Now out with it."
Ron looked down at his hands. "Kim, I will tell you, but in private." He turned to Mon and Bon. "I'm sorry, but a lot of it is very personal, just for Kim and me . I hope you two understand."
Monique crossed her arms. "I don't like it," she said flatly, "but I get ya."
"Me too," Bon conceded.
Kim looked at him. "O.K., but when will you tell me?"
Ron thought for a second. "Let's go to the tree house after school. I'll tell you there."
Kim smiled. She always looked forward to their private time in the tree house. "The tree house it is."
The bell rang. "Let's get to class." Kim said enthusiastically.
