KP in Tough Being a Girl
Ever wonder where Kim and Ron would be if Ron had been born a GIRL and still knew each other from since Pre-K? And then one day while visiting a top-secret lab to stop Drakken, she becomes the male Ron we all know and love? What would happen? What would any natural-born girl, stuck forever as a guy do? Read on to find out!
Chapter 17: Surprise!
Kim and Ron were just leaving Bueno Nacho after having had an incident-free visit for a change. Since the two of them had been gone for so long, none of the people who had been there before were there anymore. Not even Bonnie was around and that was good news for Kim as far as she was concerned.
Kim had been unable to do much more than small talk the entire flight back because she was much too embarrassed and was afraid that she'd blurt out or let slip somehow that she had been ogling Ron back at the lair. At least now they were in their normal clothes having changed before going to Bueno Nacho.
Ron was worried and confused by Kim's strange behavior but also knew that Kim would tell him if she wanted to or when she was ready.
Ron and Kim get onto his rocket-powered scooter and the ride to Ron's home is pretty quiet even though she did hold on a little tighter than necessary.
Kim says, "Hey Ron…" She couldn't help it, even in normal clothes it almost seemed like she could see Ron's body from before at the lab whenever she looked at him.
Ron says, "Yes Kim?" He was curious and hoped she would tell him what was bothering her.
Kim says, "Have… you thought about… um, what you'll do when someone asks you out? To g-go on a date I mean?" She couldn't understand why she was so fidgety or nervous about asking Ron about dating.
Ron blinks in surprise before he says, "Um… I don't know. I mean, I guess… it would depend who… asked y'know."
Kim suddenly feels a burning need to ask the next question, "So if say, some guy like Timberlake asked you out… would you accept?" She didn't want to ask about Bonnie, as that would have been too hard.
Ron drops his jaw a little and wonders why Kim would be asking about her crush that she had when she was a girl? She didn't really expect Ron/Ronnie to go date guys now that she/he was a guy now… did she? He thinks, "I haven't been attracted to guys since I became a guy…"
Ron says, "No, I wouldn't accept a date with Timberlake." Somehow feeling that was the right thing to say in his heart. He/She simply wasn't attracted to guys anymore. The new body seemed to be attracted to women now, like Tara, Bonnie, and… Kim. The thought shocked Ron to the core as he/she thinks, "It is just an infatuation right? A result of my hormones, right?"
Kim can see something happening as Ron's face seems to go through some changes about whatever her friend was thinking about. She thinks, "I wonder what he's thinking about?" She waits for a minute before she says, "So… um, who would you go out?" She was very curious and wondered if she would be included in whatever list her friend had.
Ron bites his lip very much in the same way Ronnie would whenever she was faced with a difficult question and causes Kim to regret asking the question. She/He thinks, "Um… I don't know… you gotta ask the hard questions I've been trying to avoid don't you Kim?" Still, when a best friend asks a sincere and straightforward question like that, how could She/He deny trying to come up with an answer?
Ron looks at Kim and says, "Honestly Kim? I don't know. I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the idea of being an actual, irreversible guy. I don't know which gender attracts me anymore. There are moments when I remember my girl life and think about what attracted me and… it seems to be still there."
Ron sighs softly and says, "Then there's the other problem of whether or not I'm actually attracted to girls now or if it is the body just reacting to the way it comes into contact… erm, I mean when I am around girls… not that I've had any arousing contact, um… I, ah… just feel you know, kinda funny now when around girls. Sorta like when I was a girl around a cute boy but now like it but not quite. Do I make myself clear, KP?"
Kim didn't know what to say after that jumble of words. She knew it'd take some time to sort it out in her head but she didn't have that time right then so she simply nods slowly and says, "I… think so Ron." This makes Ron look both relieved and somewhat nervous in a kind of skeptical way as if he/she wondered how Kim could understand it when he/she couldn't themselves.
They both stop walking as neither one of them suddenly knew what to say. It was just fate that had made them stop in front of Ron's house and because there was that uncomfortable silence thing going on, they both had a hard time looking at each other. Unfortunately as they would soon discover, their discomfort was not going unnoticed.
Just as Kim finally musters up the will to say something, the door opens to the front of the Stoppable home and Mrs. Stoppable shouts, "Ron! Kim! Are you two going to stand there all day looking like a couple of lovebirds?"
This makes Kim blush very redly while Ron/Ronnie blushes almost as redly in discomfort since he/she still didn't know what they wanted even though the attraction was undeniably there.
Mrs. Stoppable waits for a reply for about 30 seconds before she shouts, "Ron! Come here will you? I want to talk to you about your dating situation with your girlfriend! You can bring Kim along if you want!"
Ron is both surprised and embarrassed by his/her mother's words and runs towards the house as he shouts, "Mommmmm! I don't have a girlfriend! I haven't even gone on a date yet!"
Kim chases after Ron to help back up her friend and back up the fact that they weren't dating, even though a growing part of her did want to date him. She just wasn't entirely sure how she felt about being attracted to her best friend who for the longest time had been her best friend who was a girl.
Ron screeches to a halt so quickly just after entering the door that Kim almost collides with him from behind!
Kim says, "Ronnie! What'd you stop so quickly for! I almost ran into you!" She had let Ron's old name slip out of old habit in her annoyance before she looks past her friend to have her eyes go wide in surprise.
Standing in the room was Ron's mother with a look of displeasure on her face as she crosses her arms while staring at Kim and standing next to her with the smug look on her face was Bonnie as she rested her hands on her hips.
Ron says in surprise, "Bonnie! What are you doing here? Since when have you ever come to my place?" He pauses before he says, "Wait a minute… how'd you even know where I live?"
Mrs. Stoppable ignores Ron's words as she says in a crossed voice, "Kimberly, I should not have to remind you but Ronnie no longer exists! She is now a he and you will do good to remember to address him as either Ronald or Ron if you want to continue to be invited in this house."
Bonnie grins at Kim and says, "Yeah Possible, you wouldn't want to stop being able to come over when I'm here to visit my new boyfriend…" She moves her eyes to lock straight onto Ron's to leave no doubt to either Kim or Ron as to exactly who she was referring to!
Both Ron and Kim were totally shell shocked! Ron shouts, "What? When did I become your boyfriend Bonnie! I never agreed to this!"
Kim circles around Ron and starts to storm at Bonnie as she says, "Bonnie! I don't know what kind of sick and twisted game you're playing here but there is no way…" She stops talking as an arm suddenly gets in her way and when she follows it back to its owner she sees that it was none other than Ron's mother! She was speechless as she could only gape at the older woman.
Mrs. Stoppable looks at Ron and says, "I'm your mother and as such you'll obey me! Bonnie here was concerned about your progress and development into the world of men and she came up with this wonderful idea! She would become your girlfriend and teach you the ins and outs of having a relationship with the member of the opposite sex!"
Kim growls at Bonnie as she had a sneaking suspicion as to just what ins and outs that Bonnie had in mind for Ron to learn! She was so angry that her fists were shaking in anger before she looks over at Ron to see how angry Ron was, and instead was surprised to see Ron's face with shock and despair! She thinks, "Ronnie… couldn't possible be thinking of actually… I mean what kind of mother would push a girl onto their only son?"
Bonnie could see Kim cooling off and wanted to push her so that she wouldn't be allowed anywhere near her or Ron for some time so she says, "Don't you worry Possible, I'll be sure to teach Ron everything he could ever possibly ever need to know about being in a relationship…for as many… hours as it takes…" She purposely sounds a little breathy in a seductive way as she says the last part and it has the effect that she wants!
Kim turns her head back to Bonnie and growls, sticking out her hands to grab at Bonnie and tear every strand of brown hair off her head! She could take almost anything but when someone goes after her Ron the kiddie gloves came off! She would fight for Ronnie just as she'd done back in Pre-K when those bullies went after her and right then, Kim felt Bonnie was a thousand times worse than them!
Mrs. Stoppable blocks Kim and grabs at her shoulder with her other hand as she shouts, "Kimberly! You stop this right now! She has every right to do whatever she feels is best to make my little boy into the man I think he can become!" She yanks extra hard, causing Kim to spin away from Bonnie and yells, "If you're going to be like this whenever they are out on their dates or being a couple doing couple things then I'm afraid I'll have to forbid you from hanging around him! Do you want that?"
Kim stops struggling as she knew Mrs. Stoppable had her over a barrel with the threat and tilts her head forward as she says in a low voice, "No… I don't want that…" Her hands were still in fists and shaking as she suddenly began to feel tears flowing down her cheeks. She couldn't stop it nor could she define why she was crying either.
Mrs. Stoppable relaxes her grip on Kim as she sees that she wasn't resisting anymore before she says, "That's better… if you can behave around them then I see no reason why you two can't still hang out together but I don't want you to interrupt Ron's lessons in any way. Are we clear on this?" She lets go of Kim as she gets the nod that tells her she won't do anything.
Bonnie says, "Don't worry Kim, I'll treat him real good. He will love having me for a girlfriend and I'll make sure that by the time I'm done with him, he will know everything there is about being a man to a woman."
Kim's head snaps up with those tear-filled eyes at Bonnie and she shouts, "You better not hurt him Bonnie! If you mistreat him there won't be anyplace on Earth that I won't go to pay you back for what you do!"
Bonnie could see the sincerity of the threat and given the connections Kim had for globe hopping, she had no doubt that she would follow Bonnie to the ends of the Earth if she hurt Ron. Still, she couldn't resist a jab at Kim and says, "Don't you worry… I won't do anything to hurt my new boyfriend. In fact he's going to get the most loving girlfriend in all of Middleton!"
There is silence that follows as Kim's tears continue to flow as she stares at Bonnie before she says, "I doubt that Bonnie… that requires actually having a heart!" She then turns to say goodbye to Ron before leaving but to her friend wasn't there. He was gone with the door still wide open from when they'd both rushed in.
AN: Well everyone, I hope that this chapter was a surprise for you. Don't you just LOVE Ron's mother? What did you all think about the little conversation before they reached Ron's home? About the way Kim and Ron acted during that conversation? Don't you just LOVE Bonnie? I hope that I'm doing her justice as I'm sure all you Bonnie fans will know if I make a mistake with her character. For now though, any thoughts as to where Ron ran off to? Where would you go if you were in his shoes?
Next Chapter Info: Spoiler alert! Kim chases after Ron and Bonnie seeks Ron as well. Kim and Bonnie... imagine their normal arguements from the show, and then increase that to blood boiling levels. Anyone want to guess what happens by the end?
