Read on to find out!
Chapter 6: Bueno Nacho Blues
Kim watched as Ron and his father drove off. She hated to tell her mother what she'd found out from the father but better now than later in front of the twins at home when they watched the news tonight.
Kim turns to her mother and says, "Um... Mom... there is something you should know." She is hesitant to tell her and her mother can tell, which makes her even more concerned about what Kim might have to tell her
Mrs. Possible says, "What is it Kimmie? Is there something wrong?"
Kim nods and says, "Yes, it involves Ron..." She holds up her hands as she sees her mother's face turn into worry before she then says, "Promise me you won't go all nuclear before I tell you, Mom."
Mrs. Possible frowns and thinks, "I wonder what Kim could have found out from Mr. Stoppable that has Kim this worried about how I am going to react. If I want to find out, I better promise her." She then says, "Ok, I promise not to go all "nuclear" as you put it. Now spill it honey." She crosses her arms to show that she wasn't going to wait any longer to hear.
Kim rubs the back of her neck for a moment and looks at the ground before she says, "Well, I know you're going to be mad but there is no holding back because you're going to find out sooner or later."
She looks up when her mother says in a stern voice, "Kim... just tell me already." She sighs and takes a deep breath before saying, "I learned from Ron's Dad that, his Mother has decided Ron's condition... is going to be in tomorrow's newspaper and on tonight's news so that everyone will know and they can just accept it without any possibility of a scandal caused in trying to hide the gender change."
Kim looked at her mother in silence, knowing what she might be thinking at that moment but watched her face to try and guess how angry she was. Seeing the strange calmness on her mother's face she says, "Mom? Are you ok? I don't want you to freak when you hear on the news that Ron's change was because of the mission. I am sure no one will think anything of it."
Even as Mrs. Possible, mother of Kim and the twins, managed to take in what she was saying and tried to outwardly remain calm for Kim's sake. Her mind and emotions were anything but calm, in fact she was so furious that she was above "Nuclear" as Kim would call it, she was "Big Bang" furious.
Mrs. Possible had never heard of anyone being so... she couldn't even think of the word in her fury. She had no doubt that if Mrs. Stoppable had been in front of her at that moment, the police would be hauling her away on murder charges a few minutes later. She was so unspeakably angry!
She could not believe that Mrs. Stoppable would not only unnecessarily publicize what had happened to Ron but to also tell the world that it was Kim's fault! Even if in reality it was Shego's fault for knocking all those chemicals upon Ron in the first place, people would still draw the conclusion that it was Kim's fault because she was the one who always dragged Ron around to such dangerous places and against dangerous foes!
Mrs. Possible says in a strange monotone voice to Kim, "Excuse me, I will be right back... I need to go take care of something." She turns back into the hospital while Kim stands on the sidewalk and thinks, "She took that much better than I thought she would."
She sees her father and the twins approach her in the van and he rolls down the window, "Hey kimmie-cub, want a ride home?"
Kim shakes her head, "No, but can you drop me off at Bueno Nacho? I promised to meet Ron there soon."
Mr. Possible nods, "Sure thing" and then he watches as Kim gets in on the passenger side with the twins in the back.
As they drive towards the hospital exit he says as he slows down, "Where's your mother?" and his eyes go wide as people are running out of the hospital, coming to a stop at the stop sign. He barely hears Kim say, "Um, I told Mom some bad news about Ron and I thought she was going to be angry but she just walked back into the hospital after telling me she had something to do."
Mr. Possible sees his wife looking absolutely furious with a piece of metal in her hand bent into a tight U come out of the hospital and walk towards her car. He gulps silently and steps on the gas as soon as the traffic was clear and heads towards Bueno Nacho a little faster than normal so as get away from the situation as quickly as possible.
Mr. Possible pulls up to the Bueno Nacho and when Kim gets out of the car he stops her and whispers, "Kim... the news you gave your mother... how bad?"
Kim whispers back after glancing at Jim and Tim in the back seat of the van but they were not paying attention as they were discussing some ideas for a rocket, "Bad Dad...you'll see for yourself on tonight's news or tomorrow's paper."
Mr. Possible frowns and wonders what kind of news would be so bad that it'd end up on the news and turn his normally calm wife into a super-angry woman. He was so not looking forward to the evening news, especially if they had that kind of effect on his wife.
Kim says, "Bye Dad! I'll be home in time for dinner!" She waves and walks into Bueno Nacho where she finds Ron already there in the booth that everyone who worked there had come to regard as the Team Possible-Stoppable booth.
Kim smiles at Ron who waves with Rufus already involved in eating some nachos. She walks over to where Ned is manning the booth and makes her usual order and is about to head to her booth when Ned says, "Do you want me to ask him to move?" His eyes indicating where Ron was.
Kim shakes her head and says, "No thanks, he's expecting me." She smiles and takes her order over to her booth much to the puzzlement of Ned who was not used to seeing anyone but Kim and Ronnie in the booth.
Ned wondered if the guy was related to Ronnie because he looked like Ronnie with the long blond hair and Rufus. He knew there were not many people Rufus would be so friendly around but in the end he gave up trying to figure it out, as Kim's life was much too strange for him to even begin to guess what was going on.
Kim and Ron were eating and laughing at the booth, enjoying themselves when Bonnie comes into Bueno Nacho. She took one look at Kim being happy and a scowl appeared on her face, Bonnie could not stand to see Kim so happy and with a mysterious boy on top of that!
Bonnie walks over and stops at the booth where she says in a haughty voice, "Well Kim, it looks like you finally got rid of that loser tomboy and upgraded to a real boy! It is about time!" She laughs while Kim gets angry as she thinks about Ronnie and now when as Ron, she was still being insulted by Bonnie!
Kim slams the table with a fist, startling Bonnie out of her vicious laughing and says, "Ronnie is not a loser! She was just different! And you have no right to be mean to Ron, so apologize!"
Bonnie was about to make another comment when her eyes meet Kim and something told her that she was close being attacked by Kim. She did not want to mess with her, especially since she knew a couple of martial arts and all she knew was what she'd learned in a self defense class. Still, she knew she wanted to at least do one last tweak.
She waves a hand dismissively before saying, "Whatever... as far as I am concerned, anyone who chooses to be a friend of Kim Possible simply must be a loser." She turns to the blond boy and says, "So, take my advice and stay away from her, you'll be far better for it. Why not come over to my booth instead, that way you will at least be sitting with someone of some class..."
Kim could not believe it! Bonnie had not only insulted Ronnie, but also Ron while at the same time... flirting with him? She was thinking that it was not only sick and wrong, but also majorly wrong-sick, as Ronnie would say!
She was about to say something when Ron says, "You know Bonnie, maybe I should sit with class..." This made Kim's jaw drop as she couldn't believe Ronnie... Ron would say such a thing before Bonnie interrupts Ron by saying, "I knew you'd be smart and see real class when you see it!"
Bonnie looked so smug that Kim wanted to get up and wipe that look off her face with the floor. Everyone is surprised though when Ron says, "You didn't let me finish Bonnie. I should sit with class..." He turns to Kim as he picks up a hot sauce from near Rufus and smiles at her, giving a quick wink before turning to Bonnie and continues to say, "And there is no one classier in here than Kim Possible!"
Ron then squirts the hot sauce at Bonnie, making it land in an R pattern on her shirt before he says laughingly, "While you are just marked by the Rondo for insulting my classy friend."
Everyone starts to laugh and some even cheer at Ron's words before Bonnie growls, "I so won't forget this blondie!" She then stomps out of the place with everyone still laughing even after she is gone.
Kim smiles at Ron and says, "Thanks Ron, I owe you one. I was ready to lay the smack-down on her for what she said."
Ron grins, puffing up his chest proudly before saying, "All part of being your best friend KP, I couldn't let you get into trouble on my account. Besides... I think I proved I can handle standing up for myself and my girlfriend."
Ron realizes his words and blushes red as he says, "Um... that is...girlfriend as in, girl and friend. A friend who is a girl. Even though we were both girls... um, even as that isn't the case now as you are still a girl and I'm a boy. And well... you are my best friend." Hoping he didn't sound as lame as he thought he sounded while he looked down at the table, wondering how he could go from feeling so good to so embarrassed so quickly.
Kim had lightly blushed at being called his girlfriend and while she still thought of Ron as Ronnie to some degree. She still had to remember that she'd seen the transformation and the dream of her going to the dance with the boy, who was the very same one sitting across from now.
She had to wondered if somehow her mind knew what was going to happen to Ronnie and the more time she spent with Ron, the more she felt that the dream might actually happen. Kim had spent her nights at home wondering if her attraction to Ron made her a lesbian or was she still straight because Ronnie was now a boy? It had been a rough couple of sleepless nights until she'd seen the bandages come off of Ron's face and looked into those brown eyes of his.
Kim reaches out and puts her hand on Ron's before she says, "Thanks for standing up to Bonnie, you did a spankin' job of it!" She doesn't move her hand back right away which makes Ron looks into her eyes with a questioning look until Ned comes up and places a soda in front of Ron.
Both Kim and Ron look up at Ned as he says, "Here's a free soda on the house! I always thought Bonnie needed to be taken down a peg, I am glad someone finally did! Enjoy!"
Ron moves his hand out from under Kim's to throw them up into the air in celebration as he shouts, "I got a free soda! Boo-yah!"
Kim just smiles at her friend as he celebrates while Rufus finishes off the nachos that he'd been eating the whole time. She had to hand it to Ron, he always knew the right way to cheer her up no matter how down she might get.
AN: Well, I hope you all liked this chapter. What do you think so far? Ronnie... Ron is having a tough time, but so is Kim and her family it seems. What do you all think of Kim's mother going into "Big Bang" angry? I know I wouldn't want to face her when she's that mad! What did everyone think about the Bueno Nacho part? Oh, and what does everyone think of how Ron handled things? How do you think Bonnie's going to react when she finds out the TRUTH about the boy that had been sitting with Kim? LOL! Does falling for your best friend who used to be female, now male make one a lesbian or straight? lol!
