Clean Slate 2
AN: Ever wonder what would have happened if Kim hadn't moved fast enough to take the MRM away from Drakken in time in the episode "Clean Slate" of season 4? Here is that answer.
Chapter 5: Ouch?
(School)
Kim and Ron are standing outside Kim's locker with Wade on the computer screen. Wade says in disbelief, "Ron and Drakken got along? Without fighting?"
Ron says, "He was tired and he looked liked he needed help with his packages."
Kim says, "That's because he was carrying what Shego ripped off!"
Wade is still typing as he says, "Well, hopefully this will help jar Ron's memories."
(Middleton Football Field)
Kim is surprised as she says, "Football?"
Wade says on the Kimmunicator, "So far everything has been triggered by some person or event. So I'm hoping that he will remember more."
Mr. Barkin says, "What are you two doing here? Don't you know this is football practice?"
Kim says, "I know but Wade thinks that maybe if Ron could watch or join in, it might help him remember stuff."
Mr. Barkin frowns and says, "Fine, but he's going out on the field."
Kim nervously says, "I'm not so sure…"
Mr. Barkin says more loudly, "Do you want him to remember something or not?" He then returns to his normal, commanding voice as he says, "Get dressed and join us on the field Stoppable!"
(Shortly)
Ron is wearing his football uniform with his helmet on as he turns to Kim and says, "Um, are you sure this is a good idea?"
Before Kim can answer, Mr. Barkin shouts, "Stoppable! What are you doing over there? This isn't a date, get over here with the rest of the team!"
Ron says, "I was just…"
Mr. Barkin shouts, "NOW!" which makes Ron bolt from Kim's side and run out onto the field.
Kim waves forlornly to Ron and he catches her wave as he glances back at her.
Ron thinks, "Why does this feel so familiar?"
At first, Ron messes up on the commands and the plays until Mr. Barkin says, "Stoppable! What do you think you're doing out there? You act like you've never been to a football game in your life!"
Ron says, "That's because I don't remember if I have or not Mr. B."
Mr. Barkin catches that phrase and says, "Ok, for this play you're going to be the receiver. You think you can catch the ball?"
Ron uncertainly says, "Um… sure, I think."
Mr. Barkin heartily slaps him on the shoulder and says, "That's the attitude! Now get back out there!"
The ball is tossed to Ron and he looks around for the direction to go when suddenly he hears Kim shout, "Ron! Run!" He looks at her and sees her pointing so his eyes follow the direction to see like half the football team running in his direction.
Ron shouts, "Oh! The running!" He immediately makes a mad dash towards the Y shaped pole with the football in his hands. He somehow makes incredible moves during his running that allows him to avoid the big football players trying to tackle him!
Suddenly Ron remembers that he is running the wrong direction and makes a quick U-turn.
Kim can see the fear on his face slowly become replaced by a look of confidence, the very same kind that she could see sometimes during a football game and it isn't until he's at the halfway marker that she realizes that Ron was actually going the right way to score a goal!
Ron somehow manages to avoid every single tackle sent his way by either doing a sharp turn or leaping high into the air. He manages to make a touchdown without ever once being touched!
Ron shouts, "Boo-yah!" as he spikes the ball.
Mr. Barkin walks up as he says, "Good job Stoppable! Glad to see you haven't forgotten everything about football!"
Ron takes off his helmet and says, "Thanks Mr. B."
Kim runs up and says, "That was great Ron!" She then opens her arms and is about to give him a kiss when he holds up a hand and says, "Whoa there!" This brings her up short and she says, "What is it Ron?"
Ron looks at her and says, "I know we're best friends and all that, but what if someone gets the wrong idea about us?"
Mr. Barkin raises his eyebrows in surprise while the rest of the football guys also begin to look at each other with confusion before they all look at Kim with questions in their eyes.
Kim sighs and says, "But Ron…"
Ron says, "You're not going to pull that 'We're dating line again are you?' We are best friends but you're way too hot and popular to go out with a guy who can't even remember how to play football."
The other players frown at Ron and Mr. Barkin says, "Possible! What's going on here?"
Ron claps his hands and says, "Hey! Let's get back to the game shall we?" before he sprints out onto the field with the other players nodding to some silent agreement.
Kim says, "I'm trying to help Ron remember stuff."
Mr. Barkin says, "I can see that! What's this foolish talk about him not being your boyfriend? I would have thought that you'd tell him that right away!"
Kim looks down at the her feet until Mr. Barkin says loudly, "Well??"
Kim looks back up and says, "I tried, more than once but he refuses to acknowledge that we could be a couple because we're best friends and that we wouldn't risk our friendship like that."
Mr. Barkin's eyebrows do a dance as he processes this info and as such he misses the situation developing on the field.
Ron is handed the ball again but this time the players go for hurt rather than just a simple tackle. After his first painful tackle one of them says, "Man, you dissed Kim and nearly made her cry after all that she's done. Prepare for some payback."
Ron does a girlish, high-pitched "Eep!" and decides not to get tackled again. He looks at Coach Barkin's direction for some help but he seemed busy with Kim at the moment and it was then that he saw just how sad she looked.
Just then Ron is returned to reality as the second "HUT!" is called out and Ron is passed the ball again.
Ron yowls in fear as he runs with virtually the whole team on the field, including it seemed, some of those who were supposed to be helping him!
As Ron runs, his loud cry attracts the attention of Kim and Barkin who simply mutters, "What's he doing now?" as he watches.
Kim almost immediately sees what's going on and says, "Mr. Barkin! I think they're trying to hurt Ron!"
Mr. Barkin says, "What? Not on my watch!" He starts to head out onto the field when Ron starts to glow blue moments before get gets tackled by two players and then about eight more pile on top of him!
Mr. Barin groans, "That's going to leave a mark." He then shouts at the top of his lungs, "GET OFF OF HIM!" making the others flinch at the anger in his voice. None of them notice the blue glow still coming from under the bodies until suddenly all of the players glow blue and fly off into the air one large group only to land some yards away around the post with one even hanging on the crossbar by the midsection!
Ron stands up and takes one look at his glowing status even as it fades before looking up to see Mr. Barkin and Kim running at him. He looks at the groaning players and cries out, "Uh-Oh!" before he bolts as fast as he can, leaving the field and disappearing somehow as soon as he was out of sight around the bleachers.
Mr. Barkin shouts to the empty air, "I'll see you in detention for this Stoppable!"
Kim says, "But it isn't his fault! He probably used his mystical monkey powers by instinct to protect himself."
Mr. Barkin frowns, "He still hurt my players!"
Kim points at the other players as they got up to their feet with the one still hanging from the post as she shouts at him, "They were trying to hurt himfirst!"
Mr. Barkin turns to the others and shouts, "Infirmary now! Afterwards you've all earned some detention time!"
They all groan at that before they walk slowly off the field.
Kim runs up to one and grabs him roughly as she says, "Why? What were you all thinking?"
The player doesn't meet her eyes as he says, "We all saw how he was dissing you. You've done so much for the school and the world… we just wanted him to know the kind of pain he was causing you."
Kim lets go as she thinks, "This is all my fault! Incredibly sweet but still all my fault!" She doesn't say a word and runs off, pulling out the Kimmunicator from her pocket. She turns it on and says, "Wade! Ron is missing! Can you locate him?"
The player watches as Kim runs off and says, "I'm sorry Kim…" even though he knew she probably didn't hear him, which she did but was too panicked to answer him.
AN: Well everyone, looks like Ron is still learning new things about himself. What did you think of Wade's idea for Ron idea to try playing football? I'd say it was a success nd a failure all at the same time wouldn't you? What did you think of the football players? Foolish weren't they? You've got to admit, it was a cool way for Ron to discover his MMP powers. Any thoughts as to where he might have gone? Or even as to how he vanished? As to the why… well, if you'd just done what he did and saw an angry Mr. B coming at you, wouldn't you flee?
