Never knew that two months could fly by so fast.

NieYanMLC: I rather like developing stories as well. They allow for a breaking point as well as a relate-able journey for the protagonist. You just have to make it logical, give him goals, and then throw him into situations.

CajunBear73: Yeah, Group Therapy is something that many people don't dare to do. But oftentimes there is a group that also has the same problem as you. So go out there and find those people.

Guest: The fellow doesn't really knows Ron, though she knows Middleton-High.

Bobtrumped: Thanks.

Chimera629: You have to consider the age of Ron, he is only 16 years old. Not of the popular crowd and his only friend as well as best friend is someone of the popular people.

Chapter 5 Exchange of Fears

After the introduction, both parties continued to be silent.

With each being lost in their thoughts.

Ron was lost in his memories, Kim Possible smiling with her white teeth and fire red hair that seemed to sway along with the wind that was created in his memory.

Meanwhile, the masked fellow stared at Ron and broke Ron's daydreaming:

"What do you mean about the Unwritten Rule? Is it some kind of magical thing?"

Staring at the masked fellow, Ron replied:

"You know, the entire thing about dating someone that is on your league. And people that will stay friends for the rest of your life. That's a rough description of the Unwritten Rule."

Without even thinking about it, the masked fellow replied:

"That's stupid. If you love someone, why can't you be together? I mean…"

At the last sentence, it was as if something clicked inside the masked fellow's brain and he slowly turned silent.

"Duh?! It is the Unwritten Rule. It's just impossible. I mean, that is the Rule!" answered Ron in a rather defying voice.

Ron even stood up as if defending the so-called Unwritten Rule.

The masked fellow ignored the actions of Ron and stared at him with such an intense gaze that Ron sat back down.

With a sigh, the masked fellow began to speak:

"It's almost like one of those cliché romantic novels. Can't you be more original? I mean "Can't be together because of a stupid reason" and then in the end they either get together or do not. To be honest, I hate the latter. It's almost like Agony County. And the teasing. It's unbelievable."

"You watch Agony County as well? I mean I hope that they get together but aren't they simply friends? I mean what if they broke up? Wouldn't it be awkward?" replied Ron after realizing that the masked fellow was rather right.

"I would rather try and fail then never try and regret it for the rest of my life." replied the masked fellow, though he continued on the topic of the Unwritten Rule.

"Besides… why do you care so much about appearance? It will fade with age. Then everyone is going to look like a potato. Wouldn't it make more sense to care about the inner values?"

At that seemingly high moral statement, Ron was silent for a while before speaking:

"But people will always see the appearance first. It doesn't matter how good you are in your heart. People will glance at you and rarely allow you to show your inner values. It takes too long."

The masked fellow wanted to say something but it seemed as if the statement of Ron hit the center of the masked fellow's problem.

Another short period followed when Ron thought:

'Poor fellow, probably getting dismissed due to his appearance. He is way poorer than me if he has to hide his face.'

"Buddy, don't worry. Even if there are people that will judge you simply by your appearance. There will be people that are going to see that you are a pretty nice Guy. In other words, they will see that you are somebody who has a good heart." said Ron with a reassuring smile on his face.

"Really? But how can I find such people? I mean…." said the masked fellow with hope.

It sounded bizarre with that deep voice but Ron ignored it and continued:

"I mean since you are ugly that mask of yours was a great idea. For one, I think that you have a great heart. I mean you wanted to cheer me up, right? At my first talk with you, you tried to cheer me up and give me your opinion. Although I probably won't do it since… Nevertheless, that shows that you have a great heart."

A weird silence followed as the masked fellow stared at Ron.

Ron continued to speak:

"But can't you simply use a less threatening mask? It's badical but a nicer mask would do the job as well? You look like a serial killer."

"Hahahahaha." a deep bellowing voice sounded throughout the room as the masked fellow started to laugh.

With a noticeable happier voice the masked fellow began to speak:

"You are pretty cool yourself."

"Thanks." blushed Ron at the compliment and continued when the laughter died down:

"So what made you visit this self-helping center? I mean you apparently witnessed something that changed your life. Care to tell me about it?"

The masked fellow sat silent for a while, allowing Ron to think.

'I mean I told him about KP and me. So I should listen to him and give him my advice as well.'

However, after a short while of thinking, Ron realized that it wasn't right and spoke:

"You know, if you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to."

Since he realized that it wasn't easy to talk about his fear and he even tried to avoid it completely by ignoring it.

Another short moment of silence followed before the masked fellow began to speak:

"No, it's alright. You told me your own story and now it's my turn."

Seemingly thinking where to start, the masked fellow began to speak:

"I am not the smartest."

Seemingly thinking that the beginning wasn't that great, the masked fellow started anew:

"All of my life, people have judged me upon my appearance. It is hard to miss, especially when you are so special. It was nice at first, all of the attention, everyone treated me especially special. However, this is not wanted by me. I want a loving home, a simple lifestyle, and a partner that loves me for my inner values. Is it too much to ask for?"

At the deep voice talking about the dream that every person had, Ron fell into thoughts.

'Poor guy… probably got mistreated his whole life. At least I have KP. But this guy? No one.'

"You know what? How about me being your friend. We can do stuff and hang out together. Give me your number and we shall be the most badical pair of friends ever. And our experiences shall be badicaligendary!"

Said Ron in a goofy tone that at the same time sounded confident.

Clearly touched by the story of the probably ugly looking fellow, Ron suggested to hang out in the future and did one of his usual antics that always made KP smile.

It was his goofy smile that never failed him to make her smile.

And indeed, the masked fellow laughed as well. Albeit in a tone that clearly indicated that it wasn't long before the masked fellow would tear up.

Ron wasn't sure what it was.

After exchanging numbers, Ron wanted to give Jack a farewell by giving him the Booya-fist. However, Jack evaded the farewell gesture and simply walked away.

Thinking about his past, Ron acknowledged that it must take time to trust strangers. Especially with that mask on.

Saying goodbye to the kind-looking grandma at the reception, Ron Stoppable walked back to his home.

Unknown to him, the masked fellow stared at his back while he walked away.

Sitting in a car, the weird masked fellow followed the trail that Ron Stoppable walked.

After removing the black sunglasses, beautiful blue-green eyes were revealed that looked like precious jewels. Then the mask was taken as the object of undressing.

Putting his hands on the mask, the fellow slowly pulled it off.

It was a special mask, encompassing the whole head, making it easy to hide the hair as well as the facial shape.

Blond locks fell onto the shoulders of the masked person as the masked person spoke towards himself.

Though this time it wasn't the unusual deep voice. Instead, a crystal clear voice sounded through the car.

"He is interesting, isn't he? That Ron guy."

Removing the white gloves and the Jacket revealed that the majority of the bulk were self-crafted cotton pads that resembled muscles.

A slender yet curvy waistline appeared. A large part of the chest remained as only the side parts were cotton pads.

If Ron could see the appearance of "Jack", he would be stunned.

As supposed to Ron's Unwritten Rule, she would not even be interested in him, the so-called Loser. Heck, she wouldn't give him any attention according to his Unwritten Rule.

Or even talk to him.

Though Ron clearly ignored the fact that Kim Possible would also ignore him if the Unwritten Rule would be true. As well as not talk to him.

Unknown to the true appearance of the Jack Fellow, Ron continued his way towards his home.

On his way home, he glanced at the number of "Jack" in his contact list.

Meanwhile, the Jack fellow, now stripped off her disguise, began to drive away. Probably towards her home.

A warm voice welcomed her back. The source? A warm looking female that smiled at her.

"Where were you Lonnie?"

Without even noticing it herself, Lonnie turned back towards her mother and replied with a small smile on her lips:

"Just visiting a friend."

The Rockwaller Matriarch noticed the small smile on her beloved daughter, yet didn't comment on it as she simply thought that her daughter had a great time with her friend.

Naturally inwardly she giggled like an excited gossip girl. As not everything could make her precious daughter smile.

Though she kept it for herself and prepared to interrogate her daughter a little bit later.

'Perhaps it is time to call my darling? My daughters are growing up and even getting boyfriends.'
