Since he was suspended pending a decision from someone higher in the chain than Mr. Barkin, Ron didn't feel a reason to set his alarm and slept in, partly to recover and another was because being awake in his empty home was making him depressed. He walked down the stairs and swept his gaze over the aftermath of his fight with Shego, he could tell he needed to do something about this before his parents came home, whenever that would be. Going over to his computer he went online to a furniture store and ordered replacements for what got broken and then looked up a few handymen to come in and fix the walls.

Even with that taking up most of his morning, Ron was unfortunately left with the rest of the day to himself. Sitting down on the couch in a slump, Rufus crawled out of his pocket. "Hrn... naco?" the naked mole rat suggested, hoping the cheesy food would get his friend out of his funk.

"Yeah sure little buddy, maybe that'll help me figure out these thoughts." Ron agreed as getting out of his house might not be a bad idea for a while. He sat down on his little blue scooter and started to drive out onto the road.

Ron did feel a bit better driving towards Beuno Nacho, like always a comfortable ride was all he needed to lose himself.

Meanwhile upstate Kim Possible was looking at Joss' phone, she had hurried over after another rehearsal after she got notified by some of her friends about something she might want to see.

"Oh Ron, what is happening to you?" Kim lamented as she watched the video for the tenth time of Ron getting himself into a fight. With the wedding so close there was no way to leave early to find out what was going on in person, pulling out her Kimmunicator she dialed up Wade who she knew could tell her all the details.

"Hey Kim, been a while. How's the wedding?" Wade inquired as he had been told to hold all but the most important missions while she was away and he'd gotten nothing lately that would require her attention. He'd also been expecting her to contact him about what's been going on since she was gone.

"Great, I met Slim's fiance, she's really sweet," Kim answered with a smile on her face, before they fell to one more suited for the seriousness of the call. "Okay pleasantries are done, what happened at school?" she demanded to know as there was no way that Wade wasn't aware of what had happened if the video of the fight was already making its way around the internet.

Wade cringed as he'd been able to do some investigating of his own, due to being known as Team Possible's tech guy, others were willing to share what they knew. To his surprise the most forthcoming had been the other cheerleaders, even Bonnie hadn't looked at him like he was an insect when she was talking to him. So he began to relay to the redhead what the cheerleaders had told him was the real cause of all the change at school.

"So you're saying that Ron fought off Drakken's henchmen and then Shego?" Wade asked as he stood in front of the cheer squad having been told to meet up with them so they could make sure the truth came out. "And then came back for seconds just to keep her from hurting you all?"

"Yeah, that's what happened, Ron really stepped up," Jessica answered. "So we decided to do the same for him, our exes didn't like that."

"I can see them getting violent over this, but Ron's not a fighter." Wade questioned as he didn't understand why Ron would change to defending himself in such a short amount of time, protecting others Wade could make sense of, but Ron normally didn't do anything about the bullying directed towards himself.

"Would you have preferred that he let them beat the everloving crap out of him?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow dangerously at Wade.

Waving his hands in front of himself quickly. "No, actually I'm glad he's not letting people walk all over him for once. It's just I never figured he'd do it without-" Wade tugged at the collar of his shirt.

"Kim Possible telling him too," Bonnie sneered as she smelled the weakness of the geeks nervousness, even when she wasn't being threatening Wade still acted like he was in danger. "We get it, but Ron is finally starting to make his own decisions and listening to the advice, I said advice, of other people. We didn't tell him he had to do this. We explained that it might be better for him to do so and he thought about it and made his choice. So don't think about trying to tell him to stop."

"Of course they are tricking him Wade, they just got him suspended because he fought their boyfriends." Kim huffed as she couldn't believe that Bonnie would do something so mean to Ron.

"Well, I mean..." Wade started to mutter under his breath.

Kim of course caught this and glared at the pudgy boy. "What was that?"

"Okay look, if I'm being completely honest here," Wade gulped. "I agree with the other cheerleaders. Maybe you're right though," he held up his hands quickly to hold off Kim's retort. "And this is all just some scheme to get him in trouble, but…" Wade slowly continued as he waited to see if Kim would interrupt him first. "Ron's been the victim of bullying for years, and now he's finally doing something about it when no one else would."

"He shouldn't have to," Kim fired back at Wade. She didn't like the idea of Ron using his skills to hurt other people that didn't need to be hurt.

"Yeah, but who else was sticking up for him?" Wade asked. "The teachers don't do anything about it, I can't because I was seen as just as much of a loser as him, but Kim…"

"What do you mean but Kim?" Kim questioned why her friend trailed off his comment.

"You've been Ron's best friend for how many years?"

"Since the first grade, you know this." Kim answered.

"And you've been popular for how many years?" Wade continued his train of thought.

Kim shrugged. "I wouldn't say I'm popular. Wade, what point are you trying to make here?" She asked as she didn't know where the geek was going with this line of questioning.

Wade sighed as he rubbed his face. "Okay, I'll spell it out for you. Kim, you're the captain of the cheer squad, one of the hottest girls in school, and for the last couple of years people have known that you have been a super spy helping to save the world. So why didn't you do anything about those people picking on your best friend. Any one of those would have given you enough pull in the social standing of the school to ensure that people aren't shoving Ron into lockers or taking his money from him."

"It doesn't work like that Wade," Kim said as she shook her head.

"But it does Kim," Wade vehemently disagreed. "We've seen how some of the other cheerleaders can get away with stuff based on their looks, the jocks sure as shit got away with bullying Ron because they were on the sports teams," the techie pointed out how Kim's belief was flawed. "And none of them were actively saving the world for years. So again, I ask you. Why didn't you stop people from picking on Ron when we both know you could have?"

"I don't know," Kim replied as she never thought about it that way. In a way it made sense, she was popular enough and she had a good enough reputation that others would have listened to her.

"So now Ron took it into his own hands and he didn't even start the fight, they came at him armed this time," Wade shouted. "Sorry I just, this wasn't the normally bullying Kim, they wanted to do serious damage to him all because he tried to keep the other cheerleaders safe and that's messed up. Now he's suspended as the school tries to keep this from becoming a national headline. He needs his friends to be in his corner on this, I am and surprisingly the cheerleaders are too, but are you?"

"Of course I'll support Ron, he's my best friend," Kim said in shock that Wade would question her loyalty like that.

"Then don't get mad that he finally did something to protect himself, be mad at the jerks who forced him to do that," Wade finished before he ended the call. He needed to finish compiling the videos together to make sure he had the highest audio and visual clarity to submit for Ron's defense. Sure any one of the recordings would have been enough, but he didn't want any questions to come out later about what if's in the fight. His friend deserved to be exonerated of this completely.

Kim slumped into her seat next to her parents who waited for their daughter to get off the phone. "What is it Kimmy-Cub?" James Possible, her father asked.

"Ron got in a fight at school and now he's suspended," Kim sighed.

Anne looked at her daughter in shock. "Ron started a fight?" she almost didn't believe the words she was hearing. The Ron she knew was a nice boy who hated violence, so that statement was not something she ever thought she'd hear.

"No, the bullies did, they came at him with baseball bats this time." Kim shook her head and answered her mother's question with the correct information.

"What do you mean this time?" James asked as he was astounded that weapons were involved in a fight. "Ron's been getting picked on and it's gotten so bad it's at the point they tried to kill him?!"

"I don't think they were going to try to kill Ron, it's just, it's really complicated." Kim replied.

Anne looked at her distressed daughter. "How about you start at the beginning sweetie?" she asked as she felt there was a lot more to this story than just a single fight.

"And that's why I'm here early Ned," Ron sighed as he finished telling the Bueno Nacho manager why he was here and not in school, as he sat at the counter eating a giant platter of nachos.

"That's rough Ron," Ned sighed as he'd been making busy work of wiping down the counter as he listened to his best customer's woes.

"Yeah well," the blonde shrugged. "Not much I can do now but wait."

"So that's the school thing sure, but this Shego business?" Ned inquired as Ron had told him the whole story, including the parts with the supervillainess and super spy.

Ron swirled a nacho around some cheese. "I don't know Ned."

"Did you like it?" Ned asked as he was aware of who Shego was and she was quite a memorable woman. To hear that Ron got to make out with the dangerous woman was so unbelievable it had to be true.

"Of course I did," Ron said as he started laughing. "I mean, it's Shego. Even if you don't ignore the evil, she's still super hot."

"The green skin's not a problem?" Ned nodded appreciatively and wondered how far Ron would go with this.

"Pfft, not a problem, hey that's practically a plus," Ron tapped the countertop. "You'd have to be some kind of fool to let something like skin color be the deciding factor on whether or not someone's hot."

"True that man," Ned replied. "But then there's also this Dr. Director lady."

Ron closed his eyes as he leaned back. "Betty is, she's amazing," Ron said as he thought of how she helped him the last few days.

"Seems like the problem is that you got all these ladies' attention Ron," Ned shook his head as he lamented how some people just had all the luck.

"I don't know why though?" Ron replied.

Ned stopped and set down the rag. "You can't be serious." Ron shook his head. "Dude, you're a super spy martial artist saving the world and don't think I don't know about those Naco checks you've been getting, I gave you the first one," Ned pointed accusingly at the blonde. "But more important than all of that, you're a good guy man. You take time to listen, you care and let me tell you, that is huge."

"Is it?" Ron listened to the older man's advice.

"Of course it is, they know that if they got with you, you'd treat them right."

"I mean, why wouldn't I?" Ron shrugged.

"There, that's it. You didn't question it, you just knew that you would be the best you could for them and they are finally noticing you. You have a lot to give these ladies," Ned pointed out. "So the only thing you need to decide on is who you want to give your heart to."

"But what if I can't choose?" Ron asked as now that he was thinking about them that way, he could see himself happy with any of them, even surprisingly Shego.

"Well," Ned shrugged. "I dunno man. I make nachos for a living, I don't have the problem of almost a dozen hotties wanting me," he answered honestly before pausing. "I mean, I totally have dozens of hot chicks wanting me. I got like fourteen girlfriends, they're in Canada so you wouldn't like, know them or anything but they're totally real."

"Pfft yeah, of course," Ron nodded. "I know it, you know it, so we're just like, regular guys." He let that comment hang before the two dudes fell into some laughter. "Thanks for hearing me out Ned."

Ned waved off the thanks. "Just take your time. Just as much as you don't want to do things they aren't ready for, you need to do the same for yourself. So don't force yourself to pick one of them if you feel like it's not right."

Ron wisely accepted the advice and after paying the bill for the food he hopped back on his scooter to drive around some more and think about his situation. Because while he couldn't do much about his suspension until the school made a decision, the different ladies were something he could act on. And he knew that tonight he might try something as he pulled out his phone and sent a text to a woman he knew was overworked and had made an offer to let him cook for her.
