Four Friends – Consequences

Ron and Kim were at the kitchen table trying to eat a semblance of a meal. Kim's mother had ordered out and gotten takeout for Bueno Nacho for Ron and some Chinese take out for Kim. However, even having missed supper and having their favorite food in front of them, neither of them felt like eating. Ron ate some, but Kim just picked at her food. Matt sat quietly at the table with the two teens. There was little sound in the room as the two teens played with their food. The parents had gone into the living room at Matt's request. He needed this time alone with the teens. Matt's senses told him that the two of them were not at all well.

"Not hungry you two?" He asked.

'How can you tell without seeing us? You are bli…" Kim stopped and covered her mouth. I did it again she thought. First with Felix now with Matt.

Matt smiled. "How can I tell that you are not eating without seeing Kim? I can hear both of you eat. I can also smell the food. Also both of you know I can sense how both of you feel."

Kim paused for a moment before speaking, "What do you think our chances are Matt?"

Matt smiled. "Well, I haven't had a chance to review a lot of the case details so I just don't know. This Miss Rockwaller, Bonnie, if I am not mistaken she was a partial cause of the incident."

Ron nodded. "Most of the other kids at school give us a wide berth after we come back after a mission. They know we need space. But this time Bonnie pulled that stunt with the book. We were both jumpy after that last mission and I think you know why."

Matt nodded and motioned for Ron to continue.

Kim picked up the story. "Well, both of us sort of lost it. I know Ron called the blade and …"

"I nearly skewered Bonnie with the Lotus Blade in the form of a spear. I barely missed her."

Matt held up his hand for Ron to stop.

"Ron I am going to ask you an important question. Did you know what you were doing?"

Ron shook his head. "I don't even remember anything after Kim and I dressed out for gym and met there on the floor. Next thing I knew I was standing there in the gym back to back with Kim. Barkin was on the floor with Kim on top of him. I had the blade in my hand. Mr. Barkin was telling us that all was okay. That is when Tara and Josh came in. I saw Bonnie in the stands hiding behind some chairs. I saw one of chairs next to where she had been sitting had been destroyed. Tara told me later that I had nearly killed her."

Matt nodded. "Now Kim at anytime did you attack or attempt to attack Bonnie?"

"No" said Kim. "I had Mr. Barkin on the floor by that time."

Matt nodded again.

"Well, Kim in your case, there should not be a problem. Maybe accessory would be all they could hope to prove. Ron, I spoke with the doctors that treated of both you and Mr. Barkin. They all said that there is no way that either one of you knew what you were doing. I am going to submit all of this in the pretrial hearing and see if we can get this to end quickly. If not we will go to trial and fight.

At that moment there was a knock at the front door. The three heard someone get up and go to the door.

"Josh! What in the world are you doing here? Come in son, come in." Mr. Possible was heard to say.

Kim and Ron exchanged concerned glances as they got up from the table and hurried into the living room. Kim saw Josh standing in the living room.

"Josh!" Kim yelled as she ran to hug him.

"What's wrong?" she asked

"Josh, dude what's going on?" Ron asked as he placed his hand on Josh's shoulder.

"My parents and I had a rather interesting discussion about me seeing Kim when I got home." Josh told the group.

"They forbid me to ever see her again. My mom really went through the roof. My dad wasn't far behind. I told them I wasn't leaving Kim in a bind, and that I would continue to see her. They told me to get out so I packed my bag and left."

Kim's hand went to her face.

"You left your house. Josh you shouldn't have done that." She whispered.

"Believe me Kim, for right now I think it was the best thing to do. They were pretty upset. They threw my brother out a couple of years ago. I tried to get in touch with him but he is away on business. I was hoping to crash with him." Josh told the assembled group.

"You can stay here." Kim said flatly.

Mrs. Stoppable spoke up. "Kimberly, I don't think that would be a good idea. The fight was over Josh seeing you and spending the night here would only add fuel to the fire. Josh can stay with us. Josh, the one thing that I ask is either you call your parents or let Mr. Stoppable or I call your parents to let them know where you are."

"BUT!" Kim started to say.

"No, Kim." Mr. Possible said. "Mrs. Stoppable is right. Josh staying here would be a bad idea on a grand scale."

Josh pulled Kim into a hug. "They are right. My parents are wrong but there is no need to make things worse. Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable, would you call my parents. I don't think they will speak to me."

Mr. Stoppable stood. "I'll call Joshua, if you will give me the number."

Josh told Mr. Stoppable the number. Ron's father went to the kitchen phone and dialed the number. Everyone could hear only a muffled conversation though the kitchen door. Mr. Stoppable raised his voice a number of times, however soon he returned to the living room. His face reddened with anger.

"Well, that went as well as can be expected. Joshua, your parents relented that you could stay with us. But, they threatened to get a restraining order if you tried to stay here. So, I think it is best for all if we head for our house. You can stay in the guest room. All of you have school tomorrow and I think all of you will need some rest."

Kim and Josh broke apart as Ron stepped up to them.

"Josh, I'll ride with you. We might as well go now."

Kim and Josh kissed, then Josh turned to Ron.

"Let's go Ice-man."

Next morning.

Ron and Josh rose early to get ready for school. They had showered, shaved and dressed in time for a good breakfast. They were eating breakfast as they watched the news. The main story of the morning of course was the arrest of Team Possible. They watched as the tape played of Kim and Ron being led out of her house in handcuffs. The next clip showed them as they left the jail after they had been released. The scene changed to a live remote. The reporter was standing in the yard of a house. Ron froze when he recognized it as Tara's.

"We are here at the home of Tara King, friend to Team Possible, she and a number of students have a statement that they want to read. Miss King, please tell us about these recent events." Asked the reporter.

The camera panned over to reveal Tara standing with a number of other students including Brick, Felix, Monique, most to the cheerleaders and several more students. Tara began to speak.

"I know Kim and Ron very well. They are some of my best friends. They are very nice, caring people, who have dedicated a good portion of their lives for the past few years and protecting all of us. Both of them have given all of us a good portion of their lives. They have given up many things that any normal teenager could not live without and it is not just those things. They have paid a heavy price for what they have done. The incident at school was caused by a prank by a family member of the family pressing these charges. Kim and Ron had just been on one of the deadliest, most strenuous mission that they had been on in a longtime. The equipment they had to use had been used against them on an earlier mission. A mission that nearly ended their very lives. The prank that caused them to react as they had been trained and as they have fought for so long. That reaction is part of the price they have paid. How would you like to live a life where every little loud noise could be an attempt on your life? How would you like to live a life where you have to watch every corner, every shadow, and every rooftop almost every minute of your live? How would you like to live a life knowing that you were on call to risk your life at the drop of a hat? I have no idea how many dates, dances, or other events they have missed or given up to go fight some freak to protect us. They never know when some freak is going to jump out at them. That is the life they live, and guess what they don't get paid one red cent for what they do. I hope the truth will shine out that they thought they were just protecting themselves. They have protected us for so long. I think the time has come for all of us to support them in their time of need. If you want to thank them for what they have done please join us in standing with them. Thank you."

The camera panned back to the reporter as he spoke into his mike. "This is Eyewitness news returning you to our station."

Ron and Josh looked at each other. "Wow!" they said together. They got up from the table and went to pick up Kim for school.

Ron turned the steering wheel to his car to pull into the drive of the Possible Home. The sun was bright and the dew was just drying off the grass. Kim came to the front door and waved them in, her red hair shining in the morning sun. She was dressed in the same outfit she had worn when Ron had come back from Japan. Ron parked the car and called out.

"Kim we don't have a lot of time, what's up?" he called out.

Kim continued to wave them in.

"There is something that was delivered this morning you might what to see, come on in for just a minute." She called.

Ron and Josh looked at each other and shrugged. Both of them got out of the car, and walked up the front walk and entered the Possible home.

When Ron walked in the door, Kim pointed to an enormous flower arrangement sitting on a table. A banner across the arrangement said "Welcome to the Club" below the banner was a digital picture of Kim and Ron being led out in handcuffs. Kim's face was brilliant red as she handed a card to Ron. Written on the front of the card in graceful script were the words To Kimberly Ann Possible and Ronald Adrian Stoppable. Ron opened the vellum envelope and read the card.

"Dear Kim and Ron,

Well, well, well, haven't we been naughty! Imagine the Doc and my surprise to see on the evening news but the princess and the buffoon under arrest. My, my, my, those nasty little handcuffs can be tight can't they Princess? Have you gotten the fingerprint ink off your fingers? Hey, buffoon, I hope your mug shot is better than the other pictures I have seen of you. How was your picture little princess? Oh, I am sure it was one for the papers. I just know you enjoyed the accommodations while you were in those cells. Those thin little mattresses are so comfortable aren't they? Well, so long for now. Next time we meet maybe, we can talk about old times about being in the slammer. New experience wasn't it.

Sincerely,

Shego and Dr. D.

Ron turned to Kim and started to laugh.

Kim's face flushed again.

"Ron how can you laugh at this? They are making fun of us." She snarled.

Ron's laugh subsided to a giggle.

"Sorry KP, but the ability to laugh at myself has been a talent for sometime. You have to say now, this is funny. Shego must have been laughing her head off when she wrote this."

Kim's face broke into a small smile.

"Yeah, you're right. This is funny in a way. Come on, let's get to school."

Middleton High School

Ron pulled his car into a parking space at the school. He saw Tara walking up with Monique and Felix with her. Josh and Kim were in the backseat. Ron parked his car and turned off the ignition. He got out of the car and was immediately enveloped by Tara. Kim and Josh joined in the hug as Monique and Felix watched.

Kim turned to Monique. "Hi, Mon. What's the word?"

Monique came and gave Kim and Ron a hug.

"Well, girl, it's hard to say. Everyone was in shock to see the two of you in handcuffs. Most are on your side. Some are undecided. Others I don't know, but I would watch myself. I know there is a group of parents circulating a petition to get both of you removed from school. They "feel that you are a danger to the student body". Any mistake, any problem would just give them fuel for the fire."

"Thanks, Mon." Said Ron. "Let's get inside; being tardy would not look good at all."

Kim and Ron approached their lockers to prepare for their coming classes. As they walked down the hall several students stopped and watched, there were whispers and pointed fingers, mouths covered by hands, eyes opened wide in surprise. Other students came up with a hug, a handshake, a wave, a smile. Others acted as if Kim and Ron simply did not exist. The two teens opened their lockers as they prepared for their first class.

"Miss Possible, Mr. Stoppable. Would you please come with me to my office?" They turned to face the imposing figure of Mr. Barkin. The two teens nodded, finished getting their books for the morning and followed Mr. Barkin to his office.

"Please have a seat both of you." Barkin asked as they entered his office. He closed the door behind him and sat at his desk. They took the seats across the desk from him and waited.

"Miss Possible, Mr. Stoppable" he paused a moment. "Kim, Ron. The school board has ordered me to inform you that your attendance at this school will be on a provisional basis. If there are any more incidents, I am afraid that I would have to ask both of you to leave the school."

"We understand Mr. Barkin." Ron said.

Mr. Barkin continued. "I also have to inform you that a restraining order has been placed against both of you in relation to Miss Rockwaller. You are not to approach her, speak to her in anyway. Also, by order of the school board, both of you are suspended from the cheer team and all extra activities until the outcome of this incident."

"WHAT?" Kim said, "Are we considered guilty until proven innocent?"

"Miss Possible, I don't like it any more than you do." Mr. Barkin said sharply. "I can't do anything about it. I have superiors too you know. They didn't want you in school at all. But they couldn't find a rule to keep you out. I can do one thing though. I will make it clear to everyone. Both of you are still students of this school and you are considered innocent until the courts say otherwise."

"Thanks Mr. Barkin, we know you are trying to help. Don't risk getting in trouble because of us. Ron and I would feel bad if you did." Kim told Mr. Barkin.

"Kim, I have never run from a fight, this is one fight I plan to stand my ground." Mr. Barkin stated. "Now both of you get to class, the secretary has your hall passes. Just stay away from Miss Rockwaller and everything should be ok. Take care of each other and let your friends help you."

Kim and Ron soon walked into Latin, their first class of the day. The teacher nodded as they handed her their hall passes and motioned them to their seats. The two teens took their seats midway back in the center. Bonnie apparently was attending another class. As they took their seats several students patted Kim on the back, touched her or just smiled. Ron got several handshakes and smiles. The teacher restarted the class as Kim and Ron opened their books.

Lunchtime

Josh and Tara were saving seats for Kim and Ron as they entered the lunchroom. It seemed like ages ago when the "Angel and the Iceman" had saved the school and Ron had taught Bonnie a lesson in humiliation. Now the stares and whispers spread across the lunchroom as Kim and Ron entered. Kim and Ron walked to the table were Josh and Tara waited without a word. They all began to eat silently after Kim and Ron sat down. They noticed that Bonnie only had a small group with her on the other side of the room.

Monique came across the room carrying her tray and sat down with the four friends.

"Kim, Iceman, how are you two holding up?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders.

"We are okay I guess, Mon. Everyone seems to be pretty nice about the whole deal. What happened to Bonnie's posse? Her table is normally the place to be if you are to be on the social order in the school."

Monique smiled.

"Well, that is no more. The only reason those two are sitting with her now is that she has something on them and they don't have a choice. Otherwise, the queen b… , the queen over there would be by herself. No one and I do mean no one is talking to her."

Ron grunted. "My heart breaks for her. I'd like to break her little neck, but it might not look good at the trial."

Tara reached over and put her arm through his.

"Daddy really helped with that news report this morning. He works at the station and he called in a few favors to get us on the air. The station beat all the others to that part of the story. Students and parents are all calling the station wanting to help. Dad told me before lunch there is to be a rally in your support in a couple of days."

"Your dad rocks Tara. We really appreciate what he is doing." Kim said smiling.

The group ate silently for the rest of the meal for a while when Jack, one of the football players came up to the table and laid a card on their table. He placed his hands on both Kim and Ron.

"We are behind both of you."

Marcella, one of the cheerleaders reached into her backpack and pulled out a flower. She stood and walked over and laid it on the table. She turned and gave both Kim and Ron a hug. Other students moved to pull cards out of bags and books. Flowers and stuffed animals appeared out of coats, pocketbooks and backpacks. One after another the students filed by each placing something on the table with Kim and Ron be it a flower, a stuffed animal or a card.

Josh put his arm around Kim as tears began to fall from her face. She glanced over to Ron to see that his own eyes were glistening. Her hand came across the table toward his. He slowly took her hand in his and gripped it softly. Their eyes locked for a moment, each staring into the depths of the others eyes. They never asked payment or expected payment for what they for what they did. Now payment was being made in kind. Tara put her head down onto Ron's shoulder. Soon students were coming in from the hall adding their gifts to the growing monument of respect to their fellow students. Tara reached over and took Josh's hand and then put their two hands on top of Kim and Ron's. Kim and Ron turned to look at the two of them; soon eight hands were clasped together in the center of the table.

Bonnie stared at the four, then stood and left the lunchroom going the long way around to avoid the table where Kim and Ron were sitting. The two girls who had been sitting with Bonnie walked slowly until they were sure Bonnie was out of sight. They both stepped over to the table and added cards of their own. They then turned and hurried out of the room.

Middleton SmartyMart

Kim, Josh, Ron and Tara were shopping the aisles of SmartyMart. Ron wanted to get some more play tubes for Rufus and Kim wanted to pick up some new mission gloves. The two couples ignored the stares and glances that they met at every aisle and every corner. Sometimes a mother would reach out, grab a wide-eyed child, and drag them away taking the long way around to avoid the two teens. Kim and Ron just would wave at the kids as their mothers dragged them away. The kids would always just smile and wave back much to the chagrin of their red-faced mothers.

Tara nudged Ron and pointed down one aisle. They recognized Katie and her parents shopping for some clothes. Just at that moment Katie recognized the four, she turned and said something to her parents as she pointed up the aisle. Katie's parents looked up in surprise at Kim and Ron standing there. They nodded to Katie and the little girl came running up to Ron.

"Mr. Ron, Mr. Ron."

Several heads turned to see the little girl run and jump into Ron's waiting arms. Katie released Ron but a moment to reach over and pull Kim into the same hug. The little girl clung to the two teen heroes. Katie's parents walked up and waited for their daughter to release her grip on her two heroes.

Ron noticed some bruises on Katie's arms and face.

"Katie what happened to you?"

Katie's mother spoke up.

"She got into a fight at school. Some of the kids were saying that the two of you were mean and deserved to be in jail. Katie stood up for you and they turned on her. She is suspended for a day."

"Katie!" Ron exclaimed. "Don't get into trouble because of us."

"But they were saying that you needed to rot in jail." Katie whined.

"That doesn't matter Katie." Kim explained. "They have a right to say what they think. Ron and I are okay with it. We will get through this okay. Just don't start anymore fights Okay?"

"Okay." Katie said quietly. She took her mother's hand and they went back to shopping. Katie's dad turned to Kim and Ron.

"She has worn that watch you gave her since she got home. It really made her a target for some of the other kids. I believe they have been hearing too much hype and not much truth."

"Is there anything we can do?" asked Ron.

"No." Katie's father answered. "You gave me my daughter back; you have done so much for us already. Right now, we are planning to be at the rally next week. People are going to hear what you did for her. Please never give up you two; there is a great deal of people behind you."

He gave both the teens a hug and turned to rejoin his family.

The four friends turned and headed out of the store. Ron noticed something wrong with his car as they approached it. The tires on one side had been slashed, all the lights had been knocked out and several windows broken. "Criminals", "You are not above the law", and "hope you rot in jail" were scrawled in paint all over the car. A photographer jumped up from behind a car and began to take pictures. The four teens blinked at the brilliant flash in their faces. Soon a number of other photographers were there all taking pictures of Kim and Ron and what was left of Ron's car. A new screw showed up and a news camera light added to the glare of several camera flashes as Ron stood staring at what remained of his car.

Tara reached into her purse and pulled out her phone. "Daddy, we need your help."

King Residence

Kim, Ron, Josh and Tara sat in the living room after Mr. King had picked them up. The police impounded Ron's car as evidence and had started an investigation. The tapes for the security cameras of the parking lot had been taken as evidence. Officer Hubble had told Ron's parents that they were going to review the tapes to attempt to identify the person or person who had vandalized Ron's car.

Ron sat with his head in his hands. Tara sat beside him rubbing his back and neck. Kim and Josh sat across the room watching the two of them.

"Sorry about the car Iceman. I am sure the police will find them." Josh told Ron.

Ron smiled. "They did me a favor; I was planning to get it painted anyway. Now insurance will pay for it. Maybe I can get a new set of tires out of it."

Kim laughed. "That's my partner, always looking at the bright side of things."

"That's my Ron." claimed Tara.

"I bow to your superior claim." Kim said with a smile.

"So how about we get some homework done after supper and then head home?" Ron suggested.

Ron and Tara went into the kitchen where Ron helped Mrs. King cook supper. Soon wonderful smells came out of the kitchen and mouths were watering all around. Kim and Josh helped set the table. Ron produced a meal of beef stir-fry and rice. The King's, Kim, Ron and Josh sat down, gave thanks for the friendship of the four and enjoyed the meal.

"Oh, man. I wonder if they would make me do Latin in jail." Ron whimpered. "It would be worth it to get out of all of this homework."

"Ron, get to work." Growled Kim.

"I agree," said Tara. "Let's get all of this done and maybe have a little snuggle time."

Ron and Josh smiled at each other and then dove into their work. The two girls smiled at each other.

"Nothing like a little sugar to get them motivated." Kim whispered. Tara giggled just a little and nodded.

The four teens finished their homework in record time and soon were gathered in the living room. Kim and Josh on the couch and Tara and Ron in the loveseat. Mr. and Mrs. King stayed for a few minutes, and then Mrs. King stood. "Squirrel, would you help me with some of my work for the station."

"Yes, dear, I would be glad to help." Mr. King stood then winked at the four teens as he left the room. The four teens smiled at each other and snuggled down a little closer.

The doorbell rang about this time and Mr. King went to open the door. The four teens were busy extracting themselves from the positions they had obtained and four very red faces greeted Mr. King as he passed the door to the living room. Mrs. Possible was at the door when he opened it.

"Anne, won't you please come in." Mr. King invited.

"No thank you, Richard, I just needed to pick up three wayward souls that seem to be seeking refuge here. Come on, Kim, Josh, Ron, we need to get the two guys home."

"Goodnight Ron" Tara said as she gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Let's go you three." Mrs. Possible said. 'You have school tomorrow. Kim, Ron after school, we are supposed to meet with Matt about your case."

Mrs. Possible pulled into the drive at the Stoppable's and Josh and Ron got out.

"Thanks for the ride Mrs. P." Ron said.

Josh gave Kim a quick kiss as he got out. "See you in the morning Angel."

The four teens were soon in bed asleep. If they had looked out the window, they might have seen a red suited figure checking each house looking after them.

Daredevil spun across the rooftops and trees of Middleton. After checking on the four teens, he headed for one home. The home of the Rockwaller family.

"Ok, Matt my boy" he said to himself. "Let's see what we can find out why all of a sudden this family wished to press charges."

He approached the Rockwaller residence when he sensed the presence of someone else. He remained totally still. The other figure did not appear to know he was there. That figure leapt off of the roof of the Rockwaller residence and entered one of the upstairs windows. Daredevil approached the home stealthily and listened.

"OK, people, so far so good, just a little more time and Kimmie and the buffoon will be in jail. All you have to do is play your parts."

Shego turned her back to the frightened family and looked out of the window. She could just make out Kim's house in the distance.

She whirled back to face Bonnie who cringed back. "Little girl, you better play your part as the poor little victim or you and I are going to have a little play time."

Shego ignited her plasma gloves.

"And oh what fun I will have." Shego said with a grin.
