Fallout finale (Ron and Bonnie)
*Bonnie's house*
It was a long walk for Ron after his date with Bonnie ended with twists and turns that he wasn't ready to take on all at once. It started with the discovery that Bonnie only acted the way she did, the whole being his girlfriend, came from a device that brings out hidden desires out of people depending on which mood setting the machine was set on.
It got bad to worse when Bonnie was under the influence of the moodulator mention a secret that Kim kept from him, forcing Kim to reveal that she never entirely gave Ron the credit he deserved from saving her and the other cheerleaders from Gil at Camp never from being spoken of again. The reason the news hurt was not because he didn't get popular from it, but it made him think that Kim just forever knows him as the sidekick, or the Buffon, rather than an actual partner.
Grateful that Kim didn't lie about it the moment he confronted her about it, he still could see their friendship being restored, but it could take a while since he needed space. That left one major problem, and that problem was Bonnie Rockwaller.
Carrying to her house, Ron manages to get her house keys to enter the living room. Seeing that her parents weren't home yet Ron takes her to her room and gently place her on her bed.
"She does look beautiful and in peace when she sleeps." Ron quietly thinks as he looks over at the resting form of Bonnie. "I better get home, as much as I would want to address what happens tonight, there's no telling if she will remember it and if that's the case the last thing I need to do is get caught in her room when she wakes up."
Ron then attempts to quietly leave her room only for his clumsiness to come into play when his pants fell, causing him to trip and crash on the floor loud enough to get Bonnie's attention.
She slowly wakes up to see Ron panicking while getting pants back up. "I wouldn't mind his pants... wait, where did that come from?" Bonnie at that moment recalls how she acted towards Ron and the date and how much she enjoyed being his girlfriend. "Ron?" She said loud enough to get his attention.
Ron quickly looks over to see Bonnie awake. "Hey there Bonnie, how are you feeling?" He asks nervously, not knowing what her response will be.
Despite the complex emotions still spinning in her head, Bonnie decides to be honest with Ron. "It's hard to explain like a major hangover yet I didn't get drunk. Also, I remember everything that happens."
Ron's eyes went wide from what he just heard. "You remember?"
Bonnie nods her head. "Yes, Ron I do. I remember the events from yesterday up to now."
Out of nowhere, Ron feels the need to apologize before Bonnie can lash out on him. "Bonnie I am so completely sorry I should have realized that you weren't yourself when you started coming on to me and claim me as your boyfriend. You must hate my guts even more which I don't blame you for you probably feel taken advantage of, but I promise you I will make this right, I will go to the school and tell everyone you made a bet to go out with me and we can make everything back to normal so your status in the food chain..."
Bonnie couldn't help but giggle at him, making him stop what he was saying. "Is she giggling?"
"Ron will you please relax? You were talking way too fast just now." Bonnie tells him playfully, embracing the aftereffects of what that machine left on her.
Ron scratches the back of his head with a slight chuckle. "Sorry, I guess I did sort of freak out just then."
"It's okay; it was rather cute how nervous you got," Bonnie said honestly, getting Ron to blush a little for he wasn't expecting Bonnie to act this way after finding out the truth.
"So how do you want to do this?" Ron questions, switching gears to a more serious subject to make things right.
Bonnie tilts her head with confusion from Ron's question. "Do what?"
"Convince the school that you and I dating wasn't real and keep your status of Queen B intact?" Ron elaborates. He notices after explaining what he meant, that Bonnie looked hurt and assumed that she was feeling guilty about the school's reaction.
He sits on the bed beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "It's okay Bonnie; you don't have to feel guilty for me. Sure, I most likely will get made fun about the situation, but you know that I let their words bounce off of me."
Bonnie then looks into his brown eyes and says, "That's not what I was thinking about Ron. You do understand that I remember everything that I did to you right?"
Ron wasn't sure what she was getting at, did she want the school to know their relationship was false or could it be more to it. "I do understand that you remember, what does that have to do with the school?"
"He really can be slow at times."
"That's what you don't understand Ron, even with the fact I no longer stuck under one emotional setting, I think I want to embrace the idea of wanting to date you now."
"Whaaa?" The only thing that could come out of Ron's mouth at that moment.
"I don't know if it's the after effects talking or what, heck honestly, I don't if what I am feeling now is real or not. This is high on the freaky scale." Bonnie rubs her forehead, trying to determine how she feels now is real or just temporary.
As much as Ron deep down wanted to believe that Bonnie has feelings for him, it just seems too good to be true, and he already had thought once that Bonnie wanted to date so he wasn't sure if he could handle being fooled again. "Bonnie for the longest we have known each other you been hating me and Kim's guts and only for one day you were all over me. It might just be the side of effects that are making you feel confused right now, who knows once you have a good night's rest you will probably revert to the old Bonnie and hating me once again."
"He doesn't believe there's a possibility that I like him. Have I been that cold to him over the years? Maybe if it's time for him to learn the truth and hopefully he will see the real me, not what the social status sees."
Bonnie, knowing she is about to drop her wall, which is something she doesn't do for anybody, places her hand softly on top of Ron's hand. "Ron I never hated you for that is a strong word. Do you get under my skin with your never be normal attics yes, but that's because I don't understand how you don't let anything negative like the bullies at school affect you."
"Simply because I am what I am." Ron cuts in for a joke only to see by Bonnie serious expression that she wasn't in the mood for it.
"Okay, honestly its really because I like being myself. I never was the one to be like everyone else and try to be Mr. Popular at school. Sure, you see me with a smile on my face, but deep down even I have my moments where I need to break down. However, I don't do it in front of everyone, especially not Kim since usually, she would have my back like the old days." Ron explains giving Bonnie a better insight into what goes through his head.
"Yeah the old days that should have involved me." She responds in a low tone, while lower her head down.
"Is something wrong, Bonnie?" Ron asks, picking up on the sudden change of tone.
"It's now or never at this point." Bonnie looks back up at Ron asking him, "Do you remember a lot from pre-k?"
Ron gives her a questionable look before answering. "Of course I do, that's when I met Kim, and we became friends ever since."
"Do you remember before she had joined our class in pre-k?"
"What are you getting at?" Ron still is confused about what she is talking about.
"Ron, me and you met before she attended the school and we were supposed to be friends until she came around."
Ron's eyes went wide from her response. "Oh my gosh of course, how could I forget that I had brought some toys one day and you took them from me teasing you wouldn't give them back, but you eventually did. That was our first meeting ever."
Bonnie nods, happy that he remembers that fact. "Exactly and I was going to be your best friend, but Kim shows up, and you became so into her that you forgot about me. Ironically, we ended up in the same elementary and middle school, and I used to things to get your attention."
"Like calling me names and try to get me to do things for you?" Ron smirks recalling how Bonnie acted back then compared to now.
"Yes, but back then it wasn't to be mean. It just when I call you those names and persuade you, that was the only time you would notice me but still it wasn't enough because you always would be with K. That's when I came up with the ultimate plan to finally get you away from her, and that was to join the cheerleading squad with the idea that once I make it and actually give you proper attention you would finally talk to me. Which was going to work Kim yet ruin the plans for good when she not only made it on the team but her performance, as much as I don't want to admit, outdid mine. So what happens as soon as she finishes and makes it to the squad, you rush over and congratulate her, and I was still feeling crushed and defeated realizing that no matter what I do or did she would always win when it comes to you."
Ron couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had never realized how much Bonnie wanted his attention and the fact that she felt that way hurt him because he thought that both Kim and Bonnie equally did a great during their tryouts. He even thought Bonnie looked great when she had her hair in a ponytail, then Kim, of course, he wouldn't have told Kim that at the time.
"That's led up to high school to where Kim and I became rivals, and I call you names out of anger when you don't deserve it. I know this doesn't excuse my actions, but it just burns me that Kim has you in her life and doesn't fully appreciate you and treats you as a lap dog instead of a partner when you two go on missions. Due to my status in that darn food chain, I never got the courage to try to talk to you like how I want to too. Then that device took control, and it was like I was free to say or do whatever I want though for some reason you were the primary focus when it could have been anyone else."
Ron could feel his heart beating faster as he asks the one question that would most likely give the confirm answer he needs to hear. "So with all that said going down memory lane, what are you trying to say Bonnie?"
"Wait, that's it!"
"What's it?"
"You're rebounding from Brick!" Bonnie nearly fell off her bed from that comment.
"The heck, I'm not rebounding from him! That's over and done with for good!" She responds feeling offended that the guy she currently likes would think that is the case, especially after their last breakup.
Ron, having a gut feeling he said the wrong thing, rubs the back of his neck. "Are you sure, considering you two seem to have an on and off relationship."
"Of course, he doesn't keep up with my dating life like everyone else." She sighs to herself.
"That was until he decided that I was too stuck up on the food chain and said he wanted to date someone who wouldn't just be with him for popular reasons." She explains to him.
"Is that the reason you dated him?" Ron asks curiously.
Bonnie bites her lips gently turning away from him. "Yes, Ron that's the real reason. I didn't grow to have deep feelings for him; it was just convenient to date a football player aka someone high on the food chain. So you see, I'm technically not rebounding and what Brick and I had, whatever we have, is over. I want something real now."
An awkward silence came with Ron processing what he just heard with Bonnie surprise at how comfortable she is telling Ron how she truly feels and is okay with it.
She looks back up to him and asks, "So what was your last relationship like?" That earns her a harsh laugh out of Ron.
"Come on Bonnie; you should know that a guy like me can't get a girl, even if my life depended on it. Heck, the only reason why we went out because of a machine and that was the first time a girl had ever kissed me." Ron admits the last part, stunning Bonnie.
"You mean I am the first girl you kiss, and I don't believe that's true Ron. If you had noticed the signs earlier from Tara, she would have gone out with you."
"Yes you are, and I pretty sure even you would have made sure that wouldn't happen since it would be breaking the rules of the food chain for Tara to date me."
"I can't lie, yes, I would, but the food chain wouldn't have been the only reason why I wouldn't have wanted you and Tara to date. I feel honored that I was the one to give your first kiss. That's something I could use against possible one day." An evil smirk appears on Bonnie's face.
"Are you serious?" Ron questions her, hoping that she wasn't going to do that.
She playfully shoves him, assuring that she was joking, "I was just playing Ron about that last part, I still have the queen B personal within me you know, but seriously, I'm thrilled that it was me Ron." She lifts her hand to the side of Ron's cheek and rubs his face softy.
Ron could feel his cheeks heating up from her action. "Yeah, though you weren't yourself so maybe it wouldn't be the same if you..." Ron gets cut off when he feels Bonnie's lips press on his. After a few seconds, his eyes slowly closed as he gave into it until she leans back to break the kiss.
"Wow." Ron could only say about how great her lips felt.
Bonnie smiles from seeing the expression on Ron's face after their kiss ended. "That was without that device on me, and you know what, I like kissing you Ron-Ron." She also likes calling him Ron-Ron since her pet name is Bon-Bon, a name she pretended to get annoyed from hearing it but deep down thought it was cute.
"Even though I, not an expert on kissing?"
Bonnie leans her forehead on top of his getting close to his face and said softly, "You don't have to be the master of kissing, and kissing is something you would want to, regardless if you're good or bad at it, to that person."
With Bonnie so close to his face and seeing that she basically is allowing him to, Ron couldn't resist anymore and leans in to kiss her, leading to Bonnie to put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him in a little closer to deepen the kiss. When the more extended session ended, she left her hand there on his neck to massage it.
"Am I to assume you like kissing me Ron-Ron?" Bonnie asks sweetly.
"I say you would assume correctly, Bon-Bon." Ron answers in the smoothest tone he could muster.
"Good, because there are a few more things we need to talk about."
"I don't have much experience in the dating game, but I heard talking is not a good thing." Ron jokes to cover the fear of having this "talk" with Bonnie.
Sensing his fear, Bonnie gives him a quick soft kiss on the lips to calm his nerves. "This is not one of those types of talks Ron. It mostly concerns us moving forward after tonight."
"Okay then." Ron allows Bonnie to go over what they need to talk about.
"So tonight my feelings for you that were buried deep have been brought out to the surface where I want them to be. With that said the first question I want to ask is to have you ever thought about us before?" Bonnie expects him to say no, and wouldn't blame him for how she treated him. Still, she wanted to know if there was a possibility that he thought her as more.
Shockingly, she gets an unexpected answer from him. "I have thought about it at times over years since I have known you. Despite the putdowns, I felt there was more to you the ice persona. There's the way you command attention, how talented you are, your smart, perceive, beautiful, and lookhotinyourcheeroutfit." Ron quickly mutters that last part, turns away, and begins to blush madly from even letting those words come out of his mouth.
Hearing his confession made Bonnie feel warm and fuzzy inside since she wasn't used to hearing someone talk about her that way. Of course, that isn't going to keep her from finding out what Ron said lastly about her. "I didn't catch that last part Ron-Ron." She gently brought his face back to face her.
"I said... you look hot... in your cheer outfit." Ron flinches hoping that he didn't cross a line. However, to his surprise, he sees Bonnie smile widely at him.
"Aw, Ron-Ron you really did notice me. Thank you for those sweet compliments."
"You are welcome, and yeah, I guess I have for a while now just never came out and said out of fear of rejection from you," Ron tells her wondering would she risk her status to date him back in the day if he gave her attention.
Bonnie squeezes his hand softly. "Ron, you're cute, brave, funny, and loyal. You have more potential in you than you realize, you always try to see the good in people, and the way you always stand by Kim's side being a true friend, I see no reason why I would reject you."
"You think so?" Ron smiles while slightly blushing from her praise, something he's not used to getting often.
"I know so Ron-Ron. Which leads to the other question I want to ask; would you like to be my boyfriend for real this time?" She found herself nervous about asking that.
"Bonnie as much as I would want to, we still don't know if this is just a side effect or not. Sure, your feelings made be real deep down, but what if while we are dating you come back to your senses and realize that I still knew as the loser to you?" Ron points out to her.
He didn't want to get hurt again over something that could have easily been avoided, while at the same time, this moment he was having with Bonnie has been great seeing a different side of Bonnie and getting closer to her makes him want to see where it could go.
"Let me make this clear to you, you are NOT a loser, and I apologize for even making you think that you are. I understand that the possibility of this not being real scares you because you don't want to be hurt. That is why I promise you if you agree to be my boyfriend no matter if these effects wear off I am going to give us a chance and I expect you to step up and make me keep this promise no matter what. I have wanted this chance for a long time, and I don't want to lose this opportunity to nobody, not even for that dumb food chain." Bonnie expresses in a somber but compassionate tone ever to help Ron understand that she wants to make a go at this relationship.
After giving in some deep thought, Ron brings out his signature smile and says, "When you put it that way, who am I to refuse. I know it won't be easy, but I am here for you Bonnie every step in the way."
Without giving it second once he said his answer, Bonnie hugs him tight fighting the tears of happiness from falling out her eyes. "Thank you Ron-Ron... So you were checking me out during cheer practices?" A predator like smile appears on her face, throwing Ron off guard due to how she can switch moods like that.
"I... I didn't mean to stare; it's hard not too; I mean not that it gives me the right too..." Not giving him a chance to save more, Bonnie gives Ron a "Shut up and kiss me" smooch that shuts him up and returns the kiss back.

AU: Yes, this was a long-awaited update, and I apologize for that with my summer class and job getting busier, but when I got to this chapter I got stuck on what I wanted to do. Some of you wished to Ron and Bonnie to still stay together, why some said that Bonnie wouldn't want to be with Ron because of what happen. Considering that back story between Ron and Bonnie's past was to come into play I kept the debate on which route to take so I decided to take a page out of the redemption of Bonnie Rockwaller by GargoyleSama to determine the outcome for this chapter.
At this point the focus will be Ron and Bonnie, of course, you will see side characters in the story, but they won't have a central chapter like in the fallout chapter between Felix and Tara, and I will be using some of the episodes like bonding and bad boy to help further this new relationship so look out for that.
Lastly, I know where I am ending this story and my that's so Monique fic and already has the first chapter to my next Ron story (which will be a crossover) done which will be longer than both stories. Hopefully, this chapter was good enough for you all, especially how long it took and thank you to all the new people engaging in the story as well as the current readers for your support.
