Ch.42
After arriving at the Stoppable's Bonnie had gotten bored waiting for said blonde to arrive.
It was nearly 20 minutes since Monique arrived and they all had an awkward atmosphere going on. So when Tara suggested they play a game, just like Yori and Monique, she jumped at the idea. After looking around and not finding any, Tara again suggested something, spin the bottle.
No one suggesting a better idea the game was settled. Yori went to the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle as everyone else moved the furniture away. With Yori coming back they each took a seat. They let Tara spin first since it was her idea.
"Here goes." Tara announced, spinning the bottle.
After a few spins, it landed on Bonnie.
"Truth or dare?" Asked Tara.
Taking a moment to think Bonnie looked over at Tara and saw her mischievous smile but she didn't back down.
"Dare."
"Hmm, take off your top." Tara announced after thinking a moment.
Bonnie had not expected that Tara would be so merciless. After thinking a moment she asked. "But what if Ron comes back?"
"Do you dare?" Tara asked back.
Bonnie showed her guts as she proceeded to take her top off, revealing her pink bra.
"Remember Tara, you started this." Bonnie announces and spins the bottle hoping for some payback.
After spinning three full turns it was just shy of Tara, landing on Monique.
"Truth." Declared Monique hoping to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
"Oh I know. Who was the first boy you crushed on in Middleton." Bonnie asked.
Blushing Monique admitted. "Ron."
"That long." Tara commented bringing a round of laughter.
Taking her turn, Monique spun and waited till it stopped on Yori. Monique thanked her lucky stars as the room went quiet.
"Truth or Dare?" Monique asked eager for Yori to say truth.
Bonnie silently gave the thumbs up to Monique inside her mind, it was a great try. Bonnie knew one question that every woman in the room wanted Yori to answer, had her and Ron had sex?
"Dare." Yori simply replied, smiling.
Slightly sulking, Monique announced. "Take off your top."
Yori hesitated a moment before removing her top, revealing her black bra. Smiling Yori spun for her turn. Surprisingly after two turns it stopped on Tara.
"Truth or Dare?" Asked Yori her smile still present and making Bonnie wonder if the game would be no holds barred from this point.
"Truth." Tara announced.
"Since when do you like Ron-san?" Yori asked.
'An easy one.' Thought Bonnie, everyone but Ron had known. 'Camp Wannaweep, 2 years ago.' Bonnie thought.
"Since Camp Wannaweep 2 years ago." Tara beamed as she answered.
'See.' Thought Bonnie.
"My turn." Tara smiled mischievously.
When Tara spun the bottle Bonnie could have sworn Tara had been aiming at her till the bottle stopped on Yori. 'Way to go Tara, ask her!' Bonnie cheered in her mind.
"Dare." Announced Yori saving some time.
"Hmm, off with the pants." Said Tara.
"Wow." Said Monique matching Bonnie's surprise.
"Tara you're playing for keeps." Declared Bonnie.
Smiling, Yori stood and began removing her skinny jeans.
"Way to go girl." Monique commented bringing a round of laughter.
"Thanks." Yori slightly bowed, playing along, before sitting down.
Spinning, Yori calmly waited to see where it stopped. When it stopped on Bonnie she asked. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth?" Replied Bonnie.
"Hmm, do you like Ron?" Asked Yori surprising the other three.
Bonnie had not expected that question. Just like Tara and Monique expected an instant 'NO' as the answer. So it was to everyone's surprise that Bonnie hesitated to answer.
Bonnie was presented with a chance to lie and continue watching as Ron went further away from her.
'Thinking back that's how it always goes.' Bonnie thought remembering the past.

9 Years Ago
Upperton Ballet Studio
Bonnie had enjoyed ballet at the Upperton Ballet studio since she was four. Today was the start of her 4th consecutive year and she was looking forward to the new students that would be joining her class.
Almost everyone was like expected except the one boy to join the class was wearing a pink tutu. He was introduced as Ron Stoppable and everyone in the class made fun of him saying that his mom wanted a girl. Ron simply let the taunts slide as if they weren't there and moved to the side to begin stretching.
'He's weird.' Thought Bonnie as the instructor came in and asked the class to start stretching.
Bonnie had no further interest to interact with Ron after that but as luck would have it, they got paired up for stretches. Going over to where Ron was stretching, Bonnie introduced herself. "Hey Ron, I'm Bonnie. We got paired up for stretches."
"Nice to meet you, Bonnie." Ron greeted offering his hand.
Bonnie shook Ron's hand and moved to his side to begin stretching. After a while her curiosity got the best of her so she asked. "What's with the tutu?"
"My mom really wanted a girl." Ron confirmed, adding. "Last month she got me a Granny Crocket cookie baking set. This month was ballet."
"Sorry." Bonnie apologized, she knew she couldn't deal if her own parents showed such an obvious dislike for her gender.
"It's okay. Now I'll be an authentic ballerina for Halloween." Ron joked.
Bonnie started to find Ron interesting after talking to him.
Bonnie's and Ron's friendship grew as the lessons progressed. There were days where her sisters had left her feeling down and depressed but Ron was able to bring a smile to her face, his 'Ronshine' the pick me up she needed. As her birthday approached with summer closing in, Bonnienhad begged her parents to host a party for the ballet class, although she was mostly interested in inviting Ron.
When her parents finally agreed, Bonnie got to work on the invitations themselves, opting to make them by hand hoping to avoid the impersonal option of order made. She had worked really hard and was proud of how they turned out. The next day she couldn't wait for ballet and had spent the whole school day willing the clock to go faster.
When she made it to the ballet studio Bonnie handed everyone their invitation to her birthday party, saving Ron for last so she could talk to him.
"Here Ron." Bonnie says handing over the invitation.
Ron opens it and reads it for a moment before speaking. "Wow Bonnie, can I really come?"
"Of course, Ron." Bonnie agrees, adding to herself 'you're the guest of honor'.
"I will then." Ron said excited.
"You promise?" Bonnie asked.
"I promise Bonnie." Ron promises but after seeing her hesitate, goes over to his bag, putting away the invitation he comes back. "Here, Bonnie."
"What is it?" Bonnie asks opening her hand to reveal a coin.
"It's my lucky coin." Ron explains, adding. "You can hold onto it till I go to your party, this way you'll know I'll keep my promise."
Bonnie hugged Ron after hearing his explanation, asking. "What makes it so lucky?"
Ron looked left and right before closing the distance to Bonnie and whispering. "Its weighted so it almost always lands on tails."
After they parted on the last day of ballet, Bonnie was excited. She had already picked the perfect dress for her birthday, a blue one piece. Looking at her calendar and the heart surrounding her birthday, Bonnie had a hard time falling asleep and was the first one up in the house, counting the days that were left.
On the day of her birthday Bonnie got up giddy with excitement. After getting dressed she went around the party area making sure everything was perfect. Bonnie then spent the rest of her birthday by the front door waiting for Ron. She had greeted everyone with a smile but as the hours went by the smile had turned to tears as she refused to leave her spot by the door. Even after the guest had left and everyone in the house went to sleep Bonnie stayed by the door crying. When the sun came up signaling a new day, Bonnie went to her room and cried herself to sleep, exhausted with the day she had.
That summer had consisted of lots of tears for Bonnie. All the presents she got for that birthday she threw away, not willing to have a reminder. The one thing she couldn't throw away was Ron's lucky coin, in a corner of her heart hoping he'd walked through the door.

Present
"Yes." Bonnie admitted so quietly the others doubted that she said anything.
Bonnie decided to at least admit her feelings once.
"Yes, I like him." Bonnie repeated with a bit more resolve.
Yori confirmed her suspicions, while there was silence from Tara and Monique.
Bonnie was blushing but she looked to Tara hoping she hadn't just hurt her friend with her revelation. She remembered a few times when she got on Tara's case that Ron was off limits with the food chain as a shield and knew she had a lot of explaining to do. Seeing Tara not immediately freak out and Monique look like she found the last piece of a puzzle, Bonnie decided to continue the game.
Spinning the bottle Bonnie waited till it landed on Tara.
"Dare." Tara announced.
With a mischievous smile Bonnie announced. "Off with the top."
Tara promptly removed her top, revealing a blue lace bra. Bonnie whistled seeing her choice in underwear bringing a round of laughter.
"My turn." Declared Tara as she spun. When it landed on Monique she asked. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Answered Monique having already done truth once she changed it up.
"Off with the dress." Declared Tara.
"Mercy?" Asked Monique.
"Off, off, off." Chanted Bonnie, Tara and Yori, laughing as they did.
Monique stood and started lifting her one piece dress over her head. Her purple underwear for all to see.
"My turn." Said a blushing Monique, wondering if Ron would walk through the door.
When she spun, Monique wanted some payback but was happy where it landed nonetheless.
"Truth or dare?" Monique eagerly asked hoping Yori would finally lay off the dares.
"Dare." Yori replied, disappointing everyone.
Monique thought about it hard. On the one hand she wanted her question answered but Yori wasn't cracking even as she lost pieces of clothing. On the other hand she might crack if she's left to her panties, Monique decided.
"Off with the bra." Monique declared.
At this point the composed smile that Yori maintained showed cracks as she started blushing. She was aware that Ron should be on his way and no matter how fast she could dress, a bra and skinny jeans took time putting on. Still, she had more questions so she made the choice, she would keep playing. Removing her bra with practiced ease, Yori spun for her turn.
After a while it landed on Tara who just like Monique chose dare.
"Off with the pants." Yori announced.
Tara didn't hesitate as she slowly took her pants off before sitting back down and spinning.
Just after the first turn Bonnie and everyone else heard Ron speak. "Yori I'm back, I noticed Bonnie's convertible outside did anyone else arrive?"
Bonnie was blushing profusely now as she stood to put on her top, keenly aware that Ron stepped into the livingroom. When she felt his gaze on her, Bonnie's heart skipped a beat. Once her top was in place Bonnie looked at Ron and noticed the effect they had on him. He looked slightly dazed as he looked from one to another, his eyes even returning to her even though Bonnie already dressed.
When they were all dressed Ron asked. "Who won?"
But like Bonnie, the other ladies were stuck looking at his erection trying to struggle free in his pants.
When no one answered Ron noticed their lines of sight and looked down, noticing his problem he turned around and as he headed to the kitchen declaring. "I'll get started on dinner, I have great news to tell everyone."
~~~~~
Tara's heart was racing during the whole game. Her idea to cheer Ron up would only have been better if he was already there but a surprise would be a nice touch too.
When Ron finally did arrive, Tara was blushing like the others but unlike them she waited till he entered the livingroom to start getting dressed. She made sure he got a good look at her ass as she pulled on her pants, even winking at him when she grabbed her top. Finally noticing his erection, Tara's own body responded, heating up at the prospect it represented.
So when she saw.Ron dissapear into the kitchen Tara saw a chance and announced. "I'm going to check if he needs any help."
