Chapter 7 Decisions

For the rest of the morning Kim would try to talk to her, for lack of a properly defining word in this unknown sitch, her boy friend. Ron would counter with, "KP, I need time." It didn't escape Kim's keen eye that Ron would arrive early or stay after every class and have a brief private conference with each teacher. Kim would try to listen in on the teacher/student talks but was always shooed away because Ron had told the teacher what he had to say was totally confidential.

Lunch time finally rolled around and Kim snagged Ron's arm before he headed into the cafeteria for the usual Monday mystery meat menu. She dragged him over to the spacious yet totally secluded vacant area under the staircase. "Ron please hear me out. I think I know what you're going to do."

"KP, I was just gonna to grab some lunch," Ron said pointing at the door to the cafeteria. "I have a lot to do before 1:30."

"Is that when your plane leaves for Portugal?" Kim slyly begged. Ron stared in shock at the red haired girl. "You are going to see Agent Rockwaller and ask for Bonnie's hand in marriage, right?"

"Yeah! How'd you know I was going to Lisbon?"

"Ron," Kim admonished the blond boy, "we've know each other since Pre K, since we were four years old! I know how you think. It's noble of you to marry Bonnie so her child will be legitimate but we're suppose to get married before we head off to college. You have a prior commitment with me."

"Not no more," Ron said firmly crossing his arms in defiance. "I think that kinda flew out the window when you wanted to get married right away so we could get it on with Tara and Bon Bon. I mean we didn't even clear it with our parents first!"

Kim winced and rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm sorry about that Ron. I was wrong to talk to you the way I did and force you into the ceremony." Her ire rose. "But all the sex talk got me hot and bothered and I hadn't received my daily dose of Ronshine yet." Kim slumped a bit as she growled, "I also wanted to put Bonnie in her place by showing her I could talk dirty too."

"Kim I..."

"Get off it Ron," Kim confidently cut him off, "and be honest with me. You decided to make Bonnie an honest woman even before we got to her house."

There was a pregnant pause before Ron answered. "You're right," he said softly as he peered down at the floor in shame. "I came up with the idea about an hour after I found out she was baby bound. I saw she didn't have a wedding ring on her finger in the vision so I thought I could fill the vacancy and make the kid all legal like."

Kim turned her back on Ron to hide the expression of realization that dawned on her face. She crossed her arms and huffed, "And you never considered discussing it with me? Your fiancé?"

Ron stared and kicked at some imaginary object on the floor. "I, I wanted to but I didn't know how to tell you. I was hopin someone else would suggest me marrying Bon Bon on Saturday out by the pool but nobody did. When I finally brought it you all shot me down in a nanosecond without a hint of discussion. Anyway, I reached for the phone like a million times Saturday night and Sunday to talk it out with you but I chickened out every time. I finally decided to tell you sometime today in school. That way you wouldn't yell so loud or hurt me too bad. I was waitin til we were close to the nurses office or just before I left."

Kim turned around and looked lovingly at her big goof of a friend. "Ron, I might become a bit upset but I would never hurt you." Her head sank to her petite chest. "Not like you're hurting me right now by making the decision to dump me, for Bonnie of all people."

"I'm sorry KP." The sincerity in Ron's cracked, groaning voice was heartrending.

Kim folded her arms and gazed at her blond companion for a few seconds, a tear in her eye. "I forgive you Ron. Do you forgive me for the way I acted Saturday?" He nodded emphatically. "What did Bonnie say when you proposed yesterday? You did propose before you told her you'd ask her Father for her hand in marriage?"

Ron chuckled. "Bon Bon was thrilled with the prospects of getting a daily dose of Ronshine," the blond-haired boy enthused before his expression took a turn South. "Then she got all mad at me when she found out I didn't tell you yet. She said she'd marry me only if her Dad and you approved. I think Bon Bon really wants to be friends with us. She even asked me to start training her so she can go on missions with us."

A sly devious grin (unseen by Ron) flitted across Kim's face before she slumped to the wall and slid down to the cold tile floor in a state of despair. "If you and Bonnie get married I don't think I could go on any more missions. I wouldn't be able to focus, seeing you two together."

"Sure you could Kim," Ron enthused as he sat down beside her and nudged her playfully. "You can do anything."

"No I couldn't," she said shaking her head. "I'm not all that without you by my side. I mean all the way by my side." Kim heaved a heavy sigh. "Please don't blame yourself for what I'm about to do."

Kim thumbed on her Kimmunicator watch and Wade's smiling face appeared on the screen. "Kim, I was just about to call you. Professor Dementor escaped from prison and..."

"Wade," Kim interrupted, "make sure Global Justice knows. I want you to do me a huge favor."

"Ah, sure Kim, anything."

"I want you to shut down the website. I won't be going on any more missions." Kim's head drooped forward and her hair fell in front of her face.

"O-kay. What should I write as a reason for your retirement?" Wade asked warily as he started to type.

Kim didn't look up and sounded totally spent when she said, "Well, we haven't been getting many calls lately because the prisons are getting better at keeping the bad guys behind bars. Why don't you just say... I'm worn out from all the travel and fighting and worrying if I'm making a difference in the world. I'm going to fight evil in a different way."

Wade stopped his furious typing and stared wide-eyed at Kim. "Fight evil in a different way?"

"Yes Wade." Kim lifted her head and smiled a little smile. "I'm going to quit cheerleading and the rest of my extracurriculars and finish school in peace and obscurity. Then I'll join an abbey somewhere and become a Nun. I'll be fighting the big evil in the world. Satan."

"Why aren't you on your flight? Have you told Kim yet?" Bonnie asked excitedly. She was mere millimeters from Ron's face and definitely sexually aroused as she stroked his cheek and twiddled a finger in his cowlick. She also sounded slightly tweaked which only seemed to add fire to her wantonness.

"I told her," Ron answered weakly, his voice cracking a bit, "that's why I'm not on the plane." He tried to put some distance between himself and the passionate brunette but his back was against the gymnasium wall in a secluded corner. He had already bumped his head twice on the wall while trying to escape Bonnie's sexual assault. "KP is totally shutting down. It's not like her to give up so quick and I'm worried about her Bon Bon."

"What do you mean shutting down Ron Ron," Bonnie asked in a sultry voice. Both hand started wandering around his chest going lower with each stroke.

"I don't think she took the news to well," Ron muttered. "She said somethin about quiting everything and getting to a nunnery after graduation." Ron glanced around nervously and tittered, "Can we sit down somewhere and talk this out all civil like? I don't think too well with you so close."

Bonnie backed off a little and smiled her barracuda smile. "That's not what I've heard in the locker room. Kim brags to everyone that you're a great kisser and can think better when you and she are all kissy-face." Bonnie tried to tame the infamous cowlick for a moment then gave up. "You know what, I've tentatively accepted your marriage proposal but we've never kissed." Bonnie grabbed a fistful of red jersey and pulled Ron in for a big wet one.

"ALRIGHT LADIES GATHER ROUND!"

Bonnie and Ron looked over to the center of the gym and saw Mr. Barkin waving the cheer squad together. They walked over and joined the group.

"Your leader, Miss Possible, has decided to quit the squad and focus solely on her schoolwork," Barkin said in his usual stern commanding voice. Everyone turned and scowled at Bonnie and Ron. "Until you elect a new head cheerleader I'll be supervising you. I need to do a few things right now so I'll give you a few minutes to see if you can come up with a replacement for Miss Possible. CARRY ON LADIES!" Mr. Barkin did an about face and exited the gym.

The squad turned as one and ganged up on the couple. Marcella crossed her arms and frowned at them. "Okay Ron, why did Kim quit? I heard you dumped her at the alter and she's so devastated she's quitting cheer today and school tomorrow or next week at the latest!"

"I..." Ron started.

Liz swung Ron around to face her. "I heard you decided to start a harem and hypnotized Kim and Bonnie with your chimpanzee powers. Those two were your first victims and you'll be coming after the rest of the squad next!"

"Me? No I..."

"I heard," Crystal spoke up and turned her focus on the teal-eyed brunette, "Bonnie did Ron on a bet, got pregnant, and was so enamored with his Johnson she sucker-punched Kim in the gut rupturing Kim's kidney and appendix. Now Kim can't do anything physical and Bonnie can get her man meat whenever she wants."

All the girls started talking at once and converged on the pair. "Wait a minute, Wait! A! Minute!" Tara shouted as she stepped in front of the mob. "Not one of you has the right story!"

Bonnie straightened up and stepped up next to her blond best friend. "Tara's right. Kevin got me pregnant not Ron. I haven't slept with Ron and I'm not under his spell." She let that sink in for a few seconds before continuing. "Yes, I said I'm pregnant and I know I won't be with the squad much longer. My doctor told me I can be active for only a month or so more before I have to taper back and take it easy. I decided not to marry Kevin and Ron gallantly stepped forward to make an honest woman of me and my baby legitimate." The girls softened their stances and oohed and awed at Ron's noble sacrifice. "Now, while Ron did dump Kim for me, but not at the alter, I'm not going to take advantage of his nobility. I think Kim and Ron should be together forever and I won't stand by and watch Kim lose all hope and cloister herself."

"What can we do?" dark-haired Hope begged.

Bonnie brought a finger to her chin in thought. "First we'll tell Barkin that Kim will be back with the squad tomorrow."

"But she quit," Jessica stated.

"We can at least try to get her back," Tara offered

"But how can we convince Kim to return," Marcella queried.

"I have an idea." Bonnie smiled wickedly. "I think we should call off practice today and concentrate on getting Kim back on the squad."

"WHAT WAS THAT ROCKWALLER!" Mr. Barkin barked as he entered the gym. "And Stoppable! Why Aren't You OUTSIDE PRACTICING WITH THE FOOTBALL TEAM!"

"Sorry Mr. B," Ron hollered back, "but I think Kim is more important than practice on Monday. We don't have a game til Thursday."

Bonnie linked arms with Ron. "And the cheer squad wants to help Kim get over her ordeal too. We're going to skip practice and help her out." One by one the girls stepped forward and linked arms with one another.

Mr. Barkin peered menacingly down the line before a smile graced his face. "I see team unity isn't an issue here at Middleton High. I'd like to see Miss Possible on the floor again too. Go on you kids, find your friend and help her." He pulled an about face and marched out the doors.

The squad and Ron huddled up. "What's your plan?" Tara begged with a giggle. "I bet it's devious."

"No T it isn't." Bonnie said with a slight grin. "Queen Bonnie is gone, remember?" She peered around the circle of girls and one guy. "I think Ron and I can talk her out of retirement with a little honest one-upsmanship."

"Do you know where she is?" Liz queried the only male visible in the gym.

"Nope, but I think I know how to find her," Ron said with a smirk. "Does anyone have their cell phone on them?" Eight phones appeared and beeped as they opened. The seven cheerleaders gawked at the naked mole rat sticking half way out of Ron's cargo pants pocket holding up the eighth cell phone.

"Sorry, I thought I left mine in my locker." Ron tittered in embarrassment. "Thanks Little Buddy," Ron nodded as he took the phone and speed dialed a number. "Hey Wade it's Ron. Did you, perhaps, chip Kim like you did me?" Ron listened for a few seconds. "Yes, I was a bit tweaked when I found out but I understand you did it to keep track of me in case I got into some kinda trouble. I assume you chipped Kim for the same reason, right Buddy?" Ron smiled at the answer. He waited for five seconds before his smile grew. "Thanks Wade. Oh by the way, hold off on closing down the website. Kim will be back!" Ron laughed at Wade's words. "I didn't think it would last long neither. Thanks Wade. As always you rock in High Digital Def!" He closed the phone and turned to Bonnie. "I know where KP is."

Bonnie faced the squad. "Okay ladies, here's what we're going to do."
