Ron's alarm went off, he checked the time and for some reason the alarm was set twenty minutes earlier than normal. He slapped it back down, hit the snooze, and nuzzled Bonnie back into his chest. Sleep on his mind. He was surprised that Bonnie was lightly slapping on his chest.

"Don't worry about it the alarm was early. We've got time. Go back to sleep BonBon." He said, then closed his eyes.

Bonnie kept slapping his chest lightly to keep him up "I know it's early, I set it."

Ron groaned "Why would you do that? I don't get up yet. If you're getting ready you can go ahead."

"Nope, you're waking up too. It's your first day as my boyfriend at school. You have to look presentable." Bonnie then kissed his neck to tease him a little, smirking when he jumped. "Now, do you have any decent clothes?"

Ron knew it was a losing battle and just decided to wake up, sadly. "Uh, I think I still have some stuff on the right side of my closet from when I was a millionaire earlier in the year. Hopefully they still fit, it's been a minute." Deep down he was excited and scared. Kim tried to change up his look once and he ended up looking like an artsy douche. He chuckled since that's what Mankey came off as at times. "Guess she has a type."

Kim, Saturday night

Kim was in shock at what she just saw on the screen. Why in the hell would Bonnie be kissing Ron? And did he complete a mission by himself? She needed to talk to someone in the know, Kim called Wade.

"What's the sitch Wade?" She asked, clearly steamed.

Wade groaned. He expected this, not so soon though. "I don't know much beyond that Ron and Bonnie are dating, seems pretty serious."

"What about the mission? You couldn't find a way to reach me? What about GJ? How could you put Ron in danger like that? You know he can't handle very much."

"That is...a lot to throw at me at once. Anyway, I tried contacting you. You turned off your Kimmunicator. GJ was stacked already. What else was I suppose to do? Let Drakken blow up Middleton? Or worse freeze over Canada?" Wade was getting a little angry now, she slacked on her responsibility then blamed him for how he fixed things without her "It seems Ron can handle himself just fine. He took on Shego by himself." Wade saw her face and decided it was a good moment to mic drop out of the phone call. He liked Kim but sometimes she could be a little unreasonable.

Kim judged by his tone that she had made him angry and he wouldn't be answering anymore calls tonight.

She just collapsed on her bed and stared at the ceiling in thought. "He beat Shego by himself? When did Ron get that good? Why would he start dating Bonnie knowing how much I dislike her?"

Kim decided it would be best to try to catch up with Ron at school on Monday, it would be rude to just pop up at his house screaming at him about drama in front of his parents.

General, Monday

"Are you sure you want to do this Bonnie? We can still make something up." Ron said, still concerned about her popularity

Bonnie just looked at him like she was going to rip his head off his shoulders and he shut up very quickly. It's been a sore subject since he saved her. It ends today.

"I'm the queen. It's my school. They don't control me. If I want you, if I love you, I can have you." She noticed he was blushing then realized "Yes, its the first time I said it. Now get out the damn car and walk me in. I'm hurt. Remember?"

Ron just smiled and went over the the passenger side of Bonnie's car. Bonnie opted to cling to his arm and rest her head on his shoulder. She was going to be leaning on him for most of the day since her head still pounded sometimes. She was pretty sure she would be fine on her own but wanted to milk it, and Ron would not let her out of his sight if he even got a hint that she was hurt.

They began approaching the school and got a few glares. Bonnie was already smiling. Ron thought the outfit was a little weird but it felt nice. Bonnie had put him on a fitted black T shirt, baggy dark blue jeans with extra cargo pockets for Rufus, black sneakers, and a silver chain for good measure. She made sure it wasn't gaudy before she allowed him to take a single step outside. She said she was trashing most of his old outfits later. Along with something about T shirts being 3 sizes too big being "sooo out". Bonnie also said she knew he needed baggy pants after sitting in his lap so many times. That made Ron happy for the rest of the time they got ready.

When they came through the door a lot of the talking stopped and people stared. Even those that didn't care about the food chain were aware enough to know Ron was a usual subject of Bonnie's scrutiny.

After a while Bonnie was growing tired of this. She screamed "WHAT!?" A few people raised their hands and little and backed up. The student body went back to chatting amongst themselves. They decided to stop at Ron's locker first, luckily he got here before Kim. That drama was going to be fun to deal with.

Kim walked in with Josh and spotted them. Bonnie was draped all over him like a scared child clutching their mother. She was so playing it up. Kim noticed she was injured on tv but she just wanted attention. "Ugh, just look at her. She's so trying to get back at me since she wasn't good enough to be cheer captain."

"You don't think it's kind of unfair to assume their relationship is about you? They look pretty happy." Josh didn't want to pick sides but he was pretty chill. Drama was not his thing. He was hoping his logical words would calm her down.

Kim's gaze narrowed "Bonnie may have everyone else fooled but not me. This is a new low even for her." Kim was about to step up to argue but Brick was already storming his way towards Ron and Bonnie. Kim just stood and watched. Bonnie is all about the food chain. Whatever game she's on she will dump it and jump right back into the quarterback's arms. Then Ron's best friend will be there to pick up the pieces. Everyone would see what kind of person Bonnie really was.

"What are you doing with my girl Stoppable?" Brick said. He usually didn't care about Stoppable at all beyond the passing thought it would be interesting if he got with Kim. Bonnie was his territory, he had to be put in his place. Now.

The students broke from their conversations and began watching again. This day promised to be entertaining.

Ron was usually calm, but not when it came to Bonnie "Your girl? She's not property Brick. Now as you can see she's hurt so back off so we can get to class."

Brick was red and livid at this point, a few students backed away so Ron's body wouldn't collide with them when Brick's fist collided with his face. Kim was stunned that Ron said that, and that Bonnie allowed this charade to go on this long. His patience ended when he looked at Bonnie. He expected her to be jumping into his arms as he took her back. She was laughing at him. He swung at Stoppable's face.

Kim was ready to jump on brick as soon as he hurt Ron, but that never happened.

Ron stopped Bricks fist with his hand. There were probably better ways but he needed to send a message. Brick stood in shock, then slowly knelt in pain as Ron squeezed and bent back his hand.

When Brick was fully on his knees Ron let him go then placed his hand on his shoulder.

"We good?" Ron asked with his normal smile on his face

"Uh….yea, we're good." Brick said, while standing up and lifting his arm and hand. He wanted to get as far away from Stoppable as possible. He seemed like a freak just like that exchange student.

Kim couldn't fully process what just happened, did Ron just take down the quarterback? Did Bonnie just laugh in his face? Why did she never even let go of his arm? it's like she knew that would happen. She watched Ron gently walking Bonnie towards her locker and Brick walk away with his head down.

"See? Happy, like us." Josh smiled and grabbed her waist

Kim still didn't trust Bonnie but got lost in Josh's eyes. She decided she would talk to Ron later. Maybe around lunch. She wrapped her arms around Josh's neck and kissed him, lost in the moment.

Ron walked Bonnie to every single class and her locker when she needed it. Luckily they had all of the same classes this year. Bonnie was thinking things had worked out better than she could have hoped. Between classes and occasionally in class Ron kept getting compliments, some obviously regarding her.

"Looking good Stoppable"

"Damn, lucky man bro"

Along with some silent thumbs ups they thought she wouldn't notice. Ron was not use to this much attention but she made sure to calm him with a kiss every time he seemed antsy. Obviously she calculated that while it would keep Ron lost on her, it would help spread the word she was dead serious about this.

Kim rolled her eyes in disgust every time she saw Bonnie kiss Ron. She noticed that Bonnie hadn't looked in her direction once all day while she was giving Ron affection. Almost like she didn't even care if Kim saw or not. That couldn't be a thing, right? As she got lost in her thoughts the lunch bell rang. She would finally get answers, and hopefully Bonnie's claws out of Ron. Ew.

Tara saw that Kim had been eyeing Ron all day and wanted to keep Bonnie away, they needed to talk it out. Bonnie seemed too fragile for all of her usual verbal sparring with Kim. She hadn't acknowledged her all day, even with an insult.

"Hey Ron, I'll take Bonnie to lunch for you." She said

Ron's grip tightened on Bonnie at these words "Uh….No we're good. Thanks Tara. You can walk with us if you want." He didn't even want her to come to school, let alone let her out of his sight.

Bonnie thought this was about Tara's crush on Ron and decided to go with her.

"It's fine Ronnie, Tara is safe. I'll see you in a few minutes." She saw his mood dampen a little. She giggled and kissed him again. "Come on big boy, you can let me out of your arms for five minutes."

Ron sighed and begrudgingly gave her over. Maybe it was girl stuff.

Bonnie and Tara

After they got a few steps away Bonnie let some of the weight off of Tara.

"What are you doing? Aren't you hurt?" Tara said, concerned

Bonnie grew a smirk "I am, but I've been milking it a little. Did you see that? He barely wanted to let me go. Who wouldn't want that?"

"You're a bad girl Bonnie." Tara giggled then playfully slapped her arm

"Oh I know he's just suffering having a beautiful girl on his arm all day." She replied sarcastically, laughing with Tara. Then she took a breath, now was as good a time as any. "I'm sorry about Ron, I know you had a crush on him." She looked down. She felt like a guilty puppy.

"Bonnie, it's not that serious. Plus in Ron's words, he's not my property." Tara said with a smile, knowing that would get a reaction from Bonnie.

Bonnie blushed in embarrassment. She knew after watching Ron train at his house that Brick couldn't hurt him physically. She didn't know Ron could hurt Brick verbally as well.

"Thanks Tara, I guess you really are my friend." Bonnie said then pulled Tara into a hug.

Tara confusedly said "Uh, when haven't I been?" then hugged back.

Bonnie was content in her thoughts. People as sweet as Tara and Ron are too good for her, she was lucky to have them. After they finished hugging it out they went to the lunchroom.

Kim and Ron

Kim saw Tara drag Bonnie out the classroom and decided it was her chance to speak to him. She stopped him as soon as he stepped out the door. People weren't really paying them too much attention. Most were going to lunch and it was just two friends talking, like normal. Everyone knew how tight Kim and Ron were.

"What's the sitch Ron?" She said with an angry face.

Ron decided playing dumb was pointless "I'm dating Bonnie, what else would the sitch be?"

Kim rolled her eyes "Ron you know it's a trick. Why would Bonnie be interested in you? It's clearly just to get back at me for being cheer captain."

Ron thought back to the first time Bonnie came to his house, and the words she said.

"I'm more than good enough for her, she appreciates me and makes me happy. Isn't that good enough?" Ron said, containing his anger. Kim could be stubborn but she came around, usually.

Kim groaned in annoyance "Ron, she even went on a mission with you so that she could be a hero and squeeze me out. How aren't you seeing this. Are you blind?"

Ron could no longer take the assaults on Bonnie's character. He stopped hiding under his mask and his face became angry.

"If you can't see what Bonnie is really like then you're the blind one Kim." Kim was surprised, Ron never talked to her like that. He continued "She only went on the mission since you were too busy with your date with Josh. Her and I STOPPED a date to deal with Drakken and Shego by the way. It's fine to want to have a life of your own, but don't judge me and definitely don't judge Bonnie when we step up to the plate to pick up the slack. Things don't just end because you don't want to do missions anymore." Ron paced around a little. He didn't think she'd like him being with Bonnie but this was becoming a bit much.

There was a lot to sift through there. More than Kim could process in a short amount of time. He cares about Bonnie a lot given this reaction. One thing did come through though.

"WHY would you step up? We both know you can't handle it. You just got lucky last time." Kim said

Ron broke into a laugh and Kim crossed her arms. What was funny about this?

"Kim, I took down Shego, on my own. Hand to hand. No luck involved. In fact she said she holds back on you. Shego isn't a killer." Ron stated, regaining his breath

"You're lying! She's my nemesis. I would know!"

Ron ignored the accusation "I get it now. I finally get it. You're why I hold back."

"What are you talking about? What are you holding back? You're a klutz with average grades, but a great person."

"That, that's what I'm talking about. You don't believe in me. It just clicked when you said I can't handle it. Again. I can do more than you think Kim. I'm not just the sidekick. I'm my own person."

That hurt, Kim always said they were partners. She didn't even like him calling himself the sidekick.

"Ron when have I ever called you a sidekick. We're partners. We're best friends." She said with a sad pout

"Man, that is not nearly as effective as BonBon's" he thought. He continued, ignoring her trademark puppy dog pout

"Kim, your actions mean a lot more than your words. You always put me with the henchmen, you never mention me in interviews, and when people call me your sidekick you don't correct them." Kim was about to answer, then words poured out Ron's mouth before he could think about it. "As for best friends, when was the last time we hung out outside of a mission Kim?"

Kim was going to say something. It should be easy to come up with a time frame. She couldn't think of one "Oh my god." She said, as far back as she could remember she couldn't think of anything recent. As in past year recent.

" KP. e x e has stopped working. Wait where did I get that joke from? I'm not good with computers. Am I?" Ron thought. He began walking away, then turned back one last time.

"KP, if you want to be friends again, and real partners, let me know. I have to get back to Bonnie."

Kim heard his footsteps tread further and further away but she couldn't look up. She didn't deserve to. She stood alone in the halls, slowly she stepped towards the cafeteria. She sat down with Monique, Josh, and his couple of friends. It was even more of a testament to their argument that she could never remember Ron sitting at this table.

General

After Ron grabbed his food he went to sit at his usual table alone. The popular table was usually only for cheerleaders and football players, Bonnie had other ideas.

"Ron what are you doing? Get over here. Don't you need to watch my condition?" She joked. Everyone including Ron knew what she was doing. She wanted to solidify his position.

When he sat down next to Bonnie the table fell silent beyond a few greetings. He even got one from Brick, although he wouldn't look him in the eye. Bonnie could tell Ron was distraught for some reason. She knew an easy way to cheer him up.

"Aw, does my baby need some Bonshine?" She sat in his lap then kissed him, which quickly turned into making out after she touched his lips with her tongue. It really was just to make Ron happy, but it sent another message to everyone in the room that she wasn't aware of. Including Kim.

Ron was the new King.
