Fallout Part 2 (Felix and Tara)

*At Tara's house*

Sometime after Kim left from finding out the reason for Bonnie's behavior, Felix stayed over to make sure no huge changes take place while Tara was still resting. Just as he saw that it was becoming nighttime, Felix thinks that he should probably leave and come by tomorrow until slowly Tara opens her eyes and wakes up from her nap. "Hey Tara how are you feeling?"

Once her vision became clear, Tara answers with a small smile, "Definitely much better, now since my head doesn't hurt like earlier."

Felix smiles with relief. "Great to hear; we got pretty worried about your condition."

"We?" Tara wonders whom he is referring to.

"Me and Kim, I had asked her to come by after you passed out from me removing this chip off your neck." Felix pulls out his pocket the small chip that causes Tara to act out of the ordinary.

Tara analyzes the chip before asking, "Is that the thing that was stuck on me?"

Felix nods. "You are correct, and what cause you, wait a second you remember me finding this?" Felix figures that Tara would not recall everything she did once he took off the chip causing the headache she got.

"Honestly, I remember everything from yesterday to now." Tara couldn't help but blush heavily from admitting the truth and thinking back on her flirty behavior towards Felix.

"Everything?" Felix said with shock and hope in his voice.

"I don't how to explain it like I just felt that I had no control over my actions, but at the same time it was like I wanted to do things based on whatever mood I was in." Tara tries to explain to the best of her ability. It was still bizarre to her because she usually is too shy to do some of the actions while in the love setting.

For Felix, this would be the hardest part when he has to break down the device's purpose when it connects to someone. He suspects that she will act negatively about it, regardless she needs answers, and he's ready for whatever rejection will come afterward. "Oh boy, Tara you might want to get very comfortable because what I am about to tell you it might freak you out a bit."

"Just lay it out for me gently for me." Tara gets herself ready for Felix to explain.

"I will try." Felix rubs the back his neck nervously to gather his thoughts to determine how he can answer how the device works according to what Wade told him

"So it turns out that older guy created this thing and it somehow got stuck on you and Bonnie when we all had hung out yesterday. Somehow every time the device was set to a certain mood, you and Bonnie would start to act based on the setting."

Tara listens carefully for so far; it made sense about what she recalls happening. "So then this device got set to where I was all liking you?"

"Correct, which of course prompt you to want to be my girlfriend without a second thought, assuming that it pushes Bonnie to do the same with Ron." Felix finishes explaining.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Felix." Tara blurts out realizing what she put Felix through.

"Don't sweat it Tara, if anything I should have figured something was up a lot sooner. Not only did the warning signs go off in my head, but there was no way you would want to date me out of nowhere like that." Felix assures her by waving the apology off to let her know it wasn't her fault though more his fault for allowing his darn hormones to get the best out of him.

"Why do you say it like that Fee... Felix?" She catches herself from calling him by the nickname she gave, for some reason it natural to call him that, while trying to have a serious moment due to his response.

"Come on Tara, look at me. The answer is pretty obvious." Felix lowers his head.

"So you think that because I have control over my emotions now that I wouldn't want you as my boyfriend?" Tara questions him with a change in her tone that gets Felix attention.

"Yes." Felix answers honestly, but wasn't expecting the expression he notices on Tara's face when telling her the truth.

"Felix Renton I cannot believe you think that low of not only yourself but of me as well." She said feeling offending.

"Huh?"

"I might be blonde headed, but I'm not slow like one. That device might have made me feel like I was in love, but that didn't mean it was just going to make me love anybody." Felix remains silence as Tara goes on with her rant.

"It could have me choose anybody, yet the fact of the matter is that I ended up smitten with you. Does that mean I am in love with you I can't say, still that only means that somewhere in me, I grew feelings for you and they happen to be released? I know this will surprise you, the reason why I agreed to hang out with you the other day was to get to know you. Yes, I had a crush on Ron a while back. However, I didn't think he would go out with me, and part of it was not realizing how he is when it comes to girls."

"Yeah, that's Ron for you." Felix slightly laughs and getting an amused smile out of Tara.

"Anyway, since you offer to take me out I figure you would be a nice guy to get to know. That's when that weird device let my emotions take over to where I saw how cool, smart, and cute you were, especially when you blushed when I called you Feely."

During her rant, she reaches out and places her hand on Felix's shoulder, causing him to back up a bit once she was finished. "I admit I do enjoy you calling me that. Though we don't know the actual side effects, maybe this is just a phase, and you will forget that this all happen." He argues still not believing it was that easy for her to accept that she does have feelings for him.

"If I was going to lose memory of today it should have happened once you removed that thing." She counters.

"Maybe, but still I don't expect you to date me still. Unlike Bonnie, you never publicly announced that you and I are an item plus you are a cheerleader, top of the food chain, and I'm just some guy in..." He doesn't get another word out for Tara angrily gets off the couch stopping him from talking.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence. I will not sit by and let you look down on yourself like that, for your information I could care less about that darn food chain, and last I check, I can date whoever I want. Forget about your condition; I like you for you even if it took a machine to make me realize it sooner. I would be happy knowing I'm dating a guy who likes me for me, cares for me, and not just date me because I'm popular. I know you are a great guy who will treat me right; that is if you still want to continue to date each other because I don't want to force you."

She takes a deep breath and tries to hold back a few small tears. Not only did she not like how Felix was so down on his self, but she had to remind herself that at the end of the day that darn device was the reason why they were currently together, so it was unfair to force him to want to stay with her.

To her surprise, she felt her hands being held and looks up to see Felix smiling for the first time. "Tara, you have no idea how special you made me feel just now. I try to pull off the careless attitude like Ron does when it comes to the fact that I can't walk, but at times it just bothers me to no end. Now I don't feel shame about it, thanks to you and I'm happy that you like me for me as well. As far as us being a couple, I would like that, but I want to take you on an official date before making us a true item. That way we can see if both feelings are legit."

His proposal causes Tara to feel warm inside and happy that he wants to be with her the right way. "See, most guys wouldn't think like that. Therefore, I look forward to that date and maybe more." She rubs his hands with her thumb softly.

"Sweet! I can't wait to tell Ron. Hopefully, things settle on his end." Felix said cheerfully

Speaking of Ron, what happen to him and Bonnie?" Tara curious asks.

"Kim should be on her way to explain to both of them what I told you about the chip," Felix answers not expecting Tara's next reaction to that answer.

"Kim!? Out of all people!?"

Felix gulps. "I know it's not the popular choice with all that's happened today, despite that this will be Kim's only chance to make things right for their friendship."

Tara wasn't hearing that she wishes it was Felix who was out there and Kim here so she could have to give her a piece of her mind. "She doesn't deserve Ron's friendship; she never did with her hogging the spotlight never giving Ron the credit he deserves, always scolding him, and then push him to the side for Josh!"

"Whoa, where did all that come from?" Felix didn't think that bother Tara as much; then again, she probably wasn't as vocal about since her mood forced her to focus on him then the Kim and Ron issue.

"I'm sorry; it's just Ron you know?" She answers truthfully. Deep down despite not entirely having a crush on him, Tara still has a soft spot for Ron and someday would like to be a friend to him, but even if that doesn't happen, she still doesn't like seeing him mistreated.

Luckily for her, Felix understood her feelings. "I get it; you care for him as I care for him as a brother. I hope whatever happens tonight is what's for best for everybody involved."

"Not to mention Bonnie's reaction when she finds out why she's been over Ron, I know I'm going to get an earful from her." She shakes her pictures the awful rants she will hear from her.

"Honestly, the way Bonnie's action has been for Ron like how yours been for me, I think somewhere inside her Bonnie has feelings for Ron." Felix points out his theory as he did with Kim.

Tara wanted to disagree yet how could she with all she dealt with the device on her. Still, that doesn't mean it will be easy for Bonnie to acknowledge those feelings hurting Ron even more in the process. "Maybe, but knowing her, she will most likely deny it and go around the school claiming Ron somehow brainwashed her which I hope it's not the case."

"Would you be able to support Bonnie if she does return those feelings for Ron?" Felix cautiously asks since technically Tara liked Bonnie first and had to put up with not pursing because of her, so there would be no telling how the dynamics of their friendship will be like if Tara sees Ron and Bonnie being a couple when Tara could have been with Ron in the first place.

Tara sense his concern and catches him guard by sitting on his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "If this was way back in the day I don't think so and would have some harsh words to say to her. Now, even though I still would question her about it, I won't be that angry about it because I have you Feely."

The way she looks at Felix and called him by his nickname gets Felix nervous in more ways than one. He plays it off by quickly changing the subject. "Glad to hear babe. I better get going its pretty late despite it being a Friday."

Tara fakes pout while holding in laughter from the effects she had on her new boyfriend. "I understand. Want to check out a movie tomorrow for our date?"

"Sounds like a plan to me." He agrees. She gets off of him and walks him to the door. Out of nowhere she bends down and gives him a short but soft kiss on the lips whispering, "Just something to look forward to. Good night Feely."

Felix, in a shocking state, replies, "Goodnight Tara." in the best way he could. He gets a giggle out of Tara before exiting the house. As Felix heads home, cooling his self in the process, he thinks about what ends up happening to Ron, Kim, and Bonnie. Whatever happens, he plans on finding out when Ron becomes available, but for now, he has a date with a cold shower.

Author notes: Yes, this was shorter than part 1, but since the Felix/Tara storyline is not going the main focus I didn't want to make it feel like it was but still give a payoff for being a part of the story. I always felt that Felix and Tara should have been featured more on the show, which is why I wanted to give them some spotlight, but they will still be in the story after this, just in minor roles.

The next and final part of fallout is the chapter you all have been waiting for, Ron and Bonnie. Being honest, I have been going back and forth on what direction to take this, and I have been reading that the majority of you guys want RonBon to be a couple still. I have decided where I am going to end the story so that also plays a part on if I will keep them together or not.

With all that said, thank you for the reviews, favorites, and follows and be sure if you haven't yet to check that's so Monique that I recently uploaded.
