So the Drama - Diablo

Chapter 2 : A new perspective

As Kim predicted Bonnie was jealous as hell when she saw Kim pull up on a Harley Davidson. Jealousy went to shock when she saw that the driver was Ron. Kim got a little nervous as a large group of students gathered around to look at Ron's new ride. To her surprise Ron mostly ignored the group and went about his buisness like nothing had changed. After Ron secured his bike and put the anti-theft lock on it he grabbed his pack and started off towards the school.

Kim followed until he stopped at his locker to grab his things for class. Kim then went to her locker and began grabbing what she needed for her fist class.

Just as Ron finished grabbing his Algebra book his other good friend Felix wheeled up. "Hey "Steel Wheels" what's up?" Ron asked.

"Not much." He admitted. "Heard you came to school on your new motorcycle."

"Yeah….KP was pretty surprised by it." Ron stated with a smile.

"You sure this won't blow your cover Ron-man?" Felix asked.

Ron looked around as a serious look crossed his features. "Yeah I'm pretty sure. Besides I'm going to start to come out of the façade soon, high school is almost over and it's about time I acted like myself. It might be a while though cause it's still useful." Ron said while closing his locker door.

A sudden beeping from his pocket alerted him to Wade calling in. Ron reached in his pocked and pulled out a black and red version of Kim's Kimmunicator. "Hey Wade." Both Ron and Felix greeted.

"Good morning guys." Wade said with a smile. "Ron I'm calling to tell ya that the projects are finished, yours is being delivered to your house and so is Kim's….she doesn't know about yours though like you asked."

"So I heard you drove your Harley to school…isn't that going to kill your act a bit?" Wade asked.

"I don't think it will." Ron answered.

Wade shook his head. "I still think you should of let Kim in on the secret at least."

"I agree." Felix added.

Ron sighed. "And you both know why I can't. She'd never understand. She's also be really pissed at me for hiding this for so long. It's easier that it stay a secret and I slowly ditch the façade like it's a natural occurrence." Ron said heatedly.

"Amp down Ron!" Wade said. "Your going to blow the communicator with all the psi-waves your producing."

"Sorry Wade." Ron apologized. "I still have problems controlling the power when I get stressed. Anyways I need to get to class so Barkin doesn't have another excuse to chew my ass out…later guys." Ron said and turned off his communicator while one popped up on Felix's chair.

The two friends watched Ron dash off towards his class at a speed most humans didn't possess. Both let out a small sigh of frustraition as well. They knew that Ron's secret could screw up his life if it ever got out but they hated watching him suffer because of a stupid façade.

Though this year the façade had started to slip a bit it was still mostly in place. Kim had remained blissfully unaware as her personal life and Ron's secret life had yet to cross each other. Both Wade and Felix knew though that it was only a matter of time before it did and then Ron would either have to re-enforce the façade or drop it completely.

Lunch time at Middleton High School was always a busy time as students went about their usual businesses or ate what ever they could get a hold of that wasn't mystery meat. As Kim walked into the room she noticed a large group of students gathered around the place she and Ron usually sat.

She went over to see what the commotion was and saw something that shocked her. Ron and Brick were standing at the table and looked as if they were in a staring contest. Ron's face to her surprise was actually void of it usual goofy nature.

"Alright Stoppable." Brick said with a smirk. "Looser buys lunch."

"Hope you got allot of cash Flagg, cause I'm hungry today." Ron retorted with a similar smirk, a look of confidence that was rarely seen on his face.

"What the hell is going on!" Kim thought to herself as Ron and Brick took seats at the table and put their elbows on the table. "They're going to arm wrestle? Ron's gonna get creamed. What the hell is going on with him?"

Before Kim could utter a word both young men grasped each others hands roughly. Kim watched as Brick's large muscles bulged and strained. To her complete shock Ron didn't look like he was even having a problem. Brick's struggles lasted for only a minute before Ron slammed his hand down with a thud.

Now Kim knew Ron could be strong sometimes but this was much more so than she ever expected. Brick must of thrown the match…that had to be it…no other explanation was plausible.

"That's the fifth time this week dude." Brick said. "How did you get so strong Ron-man?"

Ron shrugged. "I've been working out a bit more lately, decided to build my body a little for my health and to do better on missions." Ron answered.

Brick nodded with a grin. "So you up for the gym this weekend, we could spot each other?" He asked.

"Sure thing dude, I don't have anything planned anyways." Ron said as the two young men got up to grab themselves some lunch…on Brick.

"When did those two become friends? Damn I need to start paying attention to Ron's life, it seems that things have been happening under my nose for a while now." Kim thought to herself.

She was happy that Ron was making friends but she had to admit she felt a little jealous too. She had never liked sharing her Ron with anyone, not even when they were kids. But lately she had been going about her own buisness and life while Ron was his and she found that the small changes that he had made were a bit strange but not out of character for him. But now so much seemed to be changing without her in the picture she thought it best that she poked her nose back in, after all she did know what was best for Ron.

The second surprise Kim saw that day was during free study period. Ron and the current Chess captain were in a heated chess match.

She walked into the study hall to once again see a group of students surrounding Ron and the Chess captain Mark. Felix was even present and rooting for Ron.

"What's going on here Felix?" Kim asked.

"Huh? Oh! Hi Kim." Felix greeted. "Ron is playing Mark again. You'd think that after several months worth of defeats he'd get the picture. Ron is a Chess master!" Felix chuckled.

After Kim collected her jaw from the floor and regained her composure she looked at their wheel chair bound friend.

"You mean to tell me that Mark….Middleton's best chess player cannot beat Ron at his own game?" She asked surprised.

Felix arched an eyebrow. "You mean he's never told you?" He asked and she shook her head no. "Damn….well that's the jist of it. Ron has stomped him in every game they have played together."

Kim was beginning to feel like she was in the twilight zone. First Ron shows strength she wasn't aware he had and now he was beating a master chess player at his own game…a game that required allot of mind power, tactics and strategy.

This was almost to much. Ron was even doing better in classes…he'd scored a higher test score than she did in history and science. She was beginning to think that he got zapped with that brain power machine that Rufus got nailed with last year but that was impossible…that machine was destroyed after Drakken's attempt to use it.

She continued to watch Ron as he played chess. She nearly fell to the floor when he beat Mark in just five moves…FIVE! This went on for a few more games with Mark trying every trick in the books and Ron countering them and beating him in record times.

"Alright man…I give." Mark sighed. "Four months of playing against you and I still can't defeat you."

"It's simple strategy dude." Ron stated. "I play RPG and Tactic games all the time at home and let me tell ya…Final Fantasy Tactic's is allot harder than a chess game. Try playing a couple of tactics games sometime….I bet it improves your game."

Kim didn't know what to think at the moment. That was a typical Ron answer but there was something more to it. Then she remembered how Ron had accidentally told the Senior's how to make the perfect evil lair….if he hadn't shown up when he did she would have been minced by those bladed tops of doom. So why hadn't she noticed Ron's tactical abilities before?

The answer was simple…she never allowed him to nurture his latent talents during missions. Had she been more focused on Ron's abilities rather than her own then perhaps they could of made use of them.

Kim let out a sigh and left the study hall as her mind poured over the past three years. There had been so many times she had held Ron back or treated him badly all because she was too stuck on herself. Yet no matter what he was always there when she needed him…he never left her and always helped her no matter what.

The main problem was that lately, whenever she thought about Ron it brought confusion and frustraition into her mind. It had been like that ever since the Moodulator incident and she couldn't figure out why for the life of her.

Sure Ron was cute in his own goofy way but he wasn't boyfriend material…was he? If he wasn't then why did Zita, Tara and that ninja girl Yori make her so jealous? Kim shook her head and banished the thoughts of Ron from her mind as it was only giving her a monster headache at the moment. She could figure things out later, after all it's not like he was going anywhere.

It was nearing the time for everyone to leave and go home for the day but Ron was no where in sight. Kim would rather catch a ride with him but at this point it looked like she might have to walk home.

She had checked everywhere that she could think of him being and no one seemed to know where he had disappeared to. Kim saw Josh and his girlfriend Tara walking towards her while talking excitedly about something.

"Hey guys." Kim greeted. "Have either of you seen Ron?"

Josh perked up. "Yeah! Ron-man is at the pool….he just got picked as the new Middleton swim team captain. And damn has he buffed up since last year!"

Tara nodded and Josh never caught the blush on her cheeks or the sugary smile that crossed her lips at the mention of Ron's name.

Kim for her part now knew she had to be in the twilight zone…since when did Ron have the ability to be a jock? "Are you sure we are talking about the same Ron here?" She asked.

Josh nodded. "Yup! Long blonde hair, brown eyes, ripped build and can swim 1500 meters in under five minutes. We are definitely going to win the leagues this year."

Kim just gave a mute nod while trying to process Josh's words. Ron ripped? Swimming 1500 meters in under five minutes? This had to be a different person….she was sure of it.

Kim quickly made her way to the pool. As she walked into the room she noticed that Ron really was in the water and he was getting ready to do some laps. So she figured she would time him and see if Josh was full of it or not.

Three minutes and twenty-five seconds later Ron had swam 1500 meters freestyle. It was at a speed that Kim had never seen before, not even Olympic swimmers could do what he was doing…he didn't even look winded! After his fifteenth lap he noticed Kim standing pool side.

"Uhhh….hey KP what's up?" Ron asked a bit nervously at being caught.

Kim still a bit stunned just looked at him before answering. "I was coming here to see if you were about ready to go home….how can you swim so fast?" She asked.

Ron remained in the water. "I've always been a fast swimmer KP, you know that….I did teach you to swim after all." Ron stated with a hint of pride, it was one of his talents he never had to hide.

Kim nodded as she remembered Ron teaching her to swim all those years ago. He was right too, he had always been a fast swimmer and he could stay under longer than anyone she knew. But it still raised the question as to why he suddenly joined the swim team.

"But why did you join the swim team…I thought being a jock didn't matter to you?" She asked curiously.

Ron chuckled. "I still doesn't I just wanted to compete for the fun. It's something I'm good at like cooking and vehicle repair. Gotta admit that I never expected to become the captain though….oh well as long as I can have some fun it doesn't matter right KP." Ron said still chuckling.

Kim felt herself sigh with relief, no ego boost or big headedness in sight. "So you think Middleton highs new swim team captain can give the head cheerleader a ride home?" She asked with a hearty chuckle, she enjoyed both teasing and joking with Ron, it always made her feel better.

Ron laughed. "Sure thing KP, let me get out of the pool and cleaned up." Ron replied.

Kim however was not prepared for when he got out of the pool. Instead of a thin and lanky body Ron had ripped, toned and well defined muscles in a build that bordered between small and medium in size. His pecks would twitch with each movement he made and water cascaded down a very nice and firm looking six-pack. His muscles weren't huge like Brick's but you could definitely see them…those baggy clothes of his really did hide allot.

Kim's face had flushed pink and her eyes had glazed over with a vacant yet hungry look about them. Ron didn't pay her any mind as he walked off towards the boys locker room to get showered and changed. Kim ogled appreciatively at his rear and back. Those racing trunks left very little to the imagination.

"Oh My GOD! When did Ron get such a hot body! Why does he wear those damn baggy clothes? They hide that perfectly delicious…..Stop it Possible! Ron is your best friend not a piece of meat." Kim argued with herself.

While Kim was having a mental battle with her suddenly very mixed feelings and emotions her other best friend Monique Wilson walked into the room. Monique noticed that Kim was extremely distracted at the moment and very flushed…which meant she had seen a hottie.

"Hey girlfriend!" Monique greeted. "What or who has you so worked up?" She asked eagerly.

Kim whirled around on her friend a bit surprised but needing a girl talk non-the-less. "Monique!...It's Ron! Did you know how ripped he's become!" She asked franticly.

Monique narrowed her eyes and scanned Kim's neck….no chips so it wasn't a Moodulator. "Girl are you sure your thinking about Ron Stoppable…or someone else?" She asked. As far as she knew Ron was thin and lanky and wore clothes four sizes to big.

Kim nodded excitedly but when Monique's jaw dropped she turned around to see Ron walking towards them. He was now wearing his baggy pants but his shirt was draped over one shoulder and he was busy tying back his long wet blonde hair. Water could still be seen dribbling down his muscular torso giving it a slight glisten.

Monique then shared Kim's reaction and began blushing. She too began to wonder why the hell he hid his goods, and my were they good, behind his shabby baggy clothes. The boy had a body like a friggin Greek god and he hid it! Kim and Monique exchanged a look, each had a glimmer in their eyes, it was about time Ron got a new wardrobe.

Ron walked over to the girls oblivious to his effect on them, Ron was quick to catch most things but like most men….women still confused him. As soon as he got to the bleachers next to his friends he sat his jersey down and stretched his slightly stiff muscles, the bones in his back and neck popped a bit as he flexed and loosened himself up a bit.

At this point Kim and Monique had to fight hard to keep their composer, even though both still sported slight blushes. Both had always thought of Ron as cute in his own goofy way but this new side they were seeing was making them re-evaluate what they had always thought about him. For Kim it brought a monumental amount of confusion and for Monique….had Kim not been there she would have asked him out on a date.

"Say Ron?" Monique asked. "How come you still wear those baggy old clothes? Wouldn't you feel more comfortable in something smaller?"

Ron thought for a moment. He had actually been thinking about changing his wardrobe a bit as he was tiered of his pants always falling down cause they were to big. But with a clothes and style change would he be able to keep up his façade for a little longer without blowing it?

That damn façade was beginning to be more trouble than it was worth. A few months back he had slowly began shedding it and started to act more like himself and he now had some good friends and people didn't look down on him so much. Kim had been the only one who was oblivious to the fact…until today that is.

Ron sighed to himself. Maybe there was a way to ditch some of the façade and still keep his secrets. Wade and Felix had been on him for over a year now to do it and to be honest it was getting tiresome. So he decided that he could change his wardrobe a bit to include simple yet better fitting clothes and perhaps some formal wear for when it was needed. It'd be nice to actually have some clothes that fit for a change and he wanted some biker gear for his Harley too.

"Yeah I guess I would." Ron said to the girls delight. "I've been thinking of getting some different clothes for a while now but haven't gotten around to it, I also need some gear for my Harley…you know a jacket, chaps, boots and some other stuff."

Kim beamed as did Monique, they were going to have some fun with this and they had a rather handsome model to boot.

"Well Ron if you aren't busy this afternoon why don't you come with me and Monique to Club Banana and we can get you all set up?" Kim asked and Monique nodded.

"Uh-oh….looks like I just put myself in hot water….well I guess I won't be so bad as long as they don't go overboard." Ron thought while putting on his shirt. "Why can't we go to Smarty Mart?" He asked to keep up his usual façade.

Monique grinned devilishly. "Because Club Banana's men's department is having a sale and I can get you a great discount." She said excitedly as they walked down the hall towards the exit. "They even have a newly opened area that deals with Harley Davidson clothes and accessories."

That made Ron perk up a bit not knowing that he was falling right into the girls trap hook, line and stinker.

"Alright then I guess that sounds good…as long as you two don't go over board that is. You know how much I hate spending to much time in clothing stores. When should we leave?" Ron asked.

"Why don't we go now, that way I can help you bring your stuff home in my Buick?" Monique suggested.

Ron nodded. Having her follow him in her car would be allot easier that trying to figure out how to transport everything on his Harley. As they neared his bike and Monique's Buick Park Avenue they spotted Bonnie Rockwaller admiring the Harley. Ron rolled his eyes and didn't notice Kim stiffening next to him.

"What do you want Bonnie?" Ron asked in a board tone as he flipped his ponytail behind him with his hand.

"Well I just heard that you became the next captain of the swim team Ron." She said batting her eyelashes and with a sugary sweet tone, Ron didn't know weather to be disgusted or amused. "The prom is in a few months and I was wondering if you'd like to be my date?" She asked giving Kim a hateful look.

Kim and Monique both let out small growls but stopped when Ron crossed his arms. For once his façade wasn't going to stop him. "So now that I'm a jock I'm good enough huh?" Ron asked with a eyebrow arched. "Sorry Bon-bon but I didn't plan on going to the prom so ask someone else…..Now if you'll excuse us we got places to go." Ron said the last part with a hint of a snarl that surprised the three females present.

Neither Kim nor Monique could believe that Ron not only turned Bonnie down but basically called her a shallow bitch in a polite way. Bonnie was pissed at being given the boot and a huffed with annoyance. "Once a looser, always a looser." Bonnie snapped and stalked off, Ron just shrugged it off although he was more than a little annoyed with Bonnie at the moment.

The girls remained silent as Ron mounted his Harley, his face had gone back to its usual look but for a moment it looked stiff and emotionless. That was a look that neither girl had ever seen on their friend and it disturbed them a bit. Eventually they brushed it off as Bonnie finally pushing Ron's buttons to many times.

Monique got into her car while Kim took a seat behind Ron as he fired up his motorcycle. The engine roared to life and then settled into a powerful purr. Kim took the opportunity to get a better feel of Ron's muscles. She pressed herself up to him and smirked a bit when he stiffened. She could feel his abs…they were as hard as rocks! At first Ron's changes had worried her but now she found that she really liked them….if only she knew how much Ron was really hiding.

Ron stiffened a bit as he felt Kim's firm breasts press into his back and her arms snake their way around his stomach. He let himself relax a bit and then began to follow Monique to Middleton mall.

He had often dreamed of Kim holding him this way but as a girlfriend and not as a simple friend. It had been like that for a long time now. Ron also knew that some of his façade was now busted, Kim had caught him doing several things today that she didn't know about before. At least most of it was still in place and he could keep that up and slowly let it fade away as he had planned.

Ron wearily flopped down on his bed. That trip to the mall wasn't one he'd soon forget. The girls had gone wild and practically made him try on the entire store. They had been to Club Banana and four other men's clothing stores in the frame of six hours.

Ron now had a completely new wardrobe, everything from sox to boxers to jeans to shirts. He had a large variety of jeans, dress pants, shorts, judo pants, T-shits, tank tops, muscle shirts, some vests and a few sweaters. He had gotten some exercise clothes, several new pairs of shoes, mission clothes and two complete sets of Bikers clothes complete with saddle bags for his bike and a helmet with a dragon on it.

The girls had even talked him into buying a Tux just in case he did decide to go to the prom. So he went in and had himself fitted for two. Both just like his old one that he wore at his cousin's wedding except one had royal purple with it and the other had a rich cobalt blue. He even purchased a couple of pairs of leather dress shoes to go with them.

The girls had been funny because they begged him to see his new suits but he had refused to show them as a sort of payback for dragging him all over the damn mall for six hours. For once he even used his resistance to Kim's famous pout.

So when he had gotten home he explained to his parents, who had gotten a good laugh out of it, that Kim and Monique had decided to give him a make over. He then ate his dinner and helped with dishes. Then he and Rufus spent the better part of three hours sorting through his new and old stuff and putting it away. Ron packed away some of his old things in case he even wanted them again.

Ron cursed softly to himself. He should have known that he was falling into a make over trap. But damn women could be devious when they wanted to be. Bonnie was a prime example of that. He was still pissed at her shallow attitude and to be honest he was nearing his limits with her bull shit. He didn't give a rats ass what she said about him but her constant jabs at Kim behind her back was getting on his last nerve and he wasn't sure how long it would be before he snapped. The same thing went with the D-hall bullies.

It had become harder and harder to keep his façade in place. To act like a clumsy buffoon was actually against his nature but it kept everything in a constant norm for him. Every night he fell asleep he hoped he could keep his façade up and his secrets safe for just one more day. So with that thought Ron fell into a peaceful and dreamless sleep.
