(At Billard's)

"Ron, this is a great place to hang out at! My old town did not have any place like this," Monique said before finishing her ice cream, courtesy of Ron.

"I would come here more often if I had someone to come here with," Ron said.

"What about Kim? Isn't she your best friend?" Monique asked.

"I brought her a few times," Ron answered, "But it didn't turn out so well."

"Why?" Monique asked curiously. 'What could make Ron not want to bring Kim here? It's a killer date spot for just fun.'

"Her Kimness took over," Ron answered.

"You mean when she becomes extremely competitive and aggressive?" Monique asked.

"Yeah and it sucks out all the fun. She was acting like we were on a mission during the go-karts," Ron said, "I think she envisioned me as Shego with the way she slammed her go-kart into mine so many times. Luckily, the go-karts didn't receive a lot of damage, durable little things, but I had a few bruises afterward." Ron explained.

"I didn't know she would take something like this to that extreme," Monique said surprised.

"That's why I only try to do relaxing stuff with her," Ron said, "During cheerleading practice, I worry about Bonnie sometimes."

"Why? Isn't she always putting you down and making fun of Kim?" Monique asked confused.

"She has her reasons for why she is such a sourpuss," Ron said, "Mainly her sisters. Those two are some evil witches that some of the villains can take lessons from."

"They're that bad?" Monique asked.

"Yes they are and Bonnie is not really a bad person," Ron said, "She might be mean and arrogant, but she can be a great and loyal friend."

"I doubt that Ron, but how would you know this?" Monique asked.

"Look at Tara and Hope, they have been Bonnie's friend as long as I have been friends with Kim," Ron explained, "She must have done something right for them to stay friends with her that long."

"But they are her only two real friends," Monique said.

"What's wrong with that? You and Kim are my only two friends," Ron asked, with anger slowly growing in his voice.

"Nothing Ron!" Monique said, not wanting to anger the blonde boy, "I was just pointing that out since everyone else that hangs around her are just part of her posse or followers, not really her friends."

"It's kind of how like I can slip between through all the social groups with no repercussions. It's a word for those types of relationships," Ron said while tapping his chin in thought, "Associates! That's the word. Those people are her associates."

"Ron, you have a lot of insight on Bonnie," the dark skinned girl said suspiciously, "How long have you known her?"

"I actually met Bonnie before Kim, believe or not," Ron said, "It was at Temple when I met her and her family. Her dad and mine are childhood friends."

"What was Bonnie was like back then," Monique said. 'Maybe I can get some juicy secrets on her for Kim to use against her.'

"She was actually really nice to me," Ron answered, "She was even nicer than Kim at the time. If I had met Kim even just a little later, I think Bonnie would have been best friend."

"I can't imagine her being nicer than Kim," Monique said.

"She was! She use to give me candy and stuff when we were younger. She would invite me to all her parties," Ron said.

"Even the tea parties?" Monique asked in jest.

"I loved those!" Ron said. He then noticed Monique's strange look at him.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ron asked confused.

"You willingly went to a girl's tea party and liked it? Ron, are you..?" Monique asked.

"Am I what?" Ron asked, still confused.

"Are you a little on the sweet side?" She asked.

Ron was silent for a minute until realization hit him.

"No! I only go for the girls!" Ron yelled, gaining a few passerby attentions,

"The only reason I went was because she made the best biscuits!"

"Uh-huh. Did you have to dress up?" Monique asked.

"Only a few times..." Ron muttered, "But that does not make me gay! I really like the girls with tanned skin, well endowed, and got a juicy butt!" Ron emphasized this by making groping motions with his hand in the air.

"TMI Ron, you pervert!" Monique yelled.

"TMI?" Ron asked.

"Too Much Information! Get with the program!" Monique said.

"I don't see why that bothers you since I pretty much explained Bonnie and she is the focus of the whole conversation," Ron said.

"I don't need to know about the physical aspects about the girl you like," Monique said,"Just tell me why Bonnie ended up the way she is now."

"Her sisters got to her, that's what," Ron started, "When our parents were not in sight, Connie and Lonnie use to terrorize us at every chance they got. She would tell her mom about this, but her mother didn't believe her and would say something like her two perfect angels would never hurt their little sister. She started to act like them more to get her mom's attention, which I guessed worked."

"What about her dad?" Monique asked, "Where was he?"

"Her dad was the only one bringing in the money for the house and you can see by the way they live, he must work a lot and have a high paying job," Ron told Monique, "He was never really home that long, kind of like my parents."

Monique was about to ask Ron about his parents, but someone screaming the blonde boy's name stopped her.

"Ron, what are you doing here?" a blonde haired cheerleader by the name of Tara asked.

"I'm hanging with Monique," he answered. He put his arm around her waist suddenly, making Monique jump a little.

'Those two are on a date? But they never showed any interest in each other,' Tara thought.

"Monique, I am about to get a drink, do you want anything?" Ron asked.

"Just a Sprite," she answered as Ron got up. Tara placed herself in Ron's spot when the boy was out of sight.

"So you and Ron are dating now? When did this happen? How did you get Ron's attention? What does Kim think about this?" Tara asked in rapid succession.

"Slow down girl! Ron and I are not dating. We are just hanging out as friends," Monique said.

"But Ron put his arm around your waist and you didn't seem bothered by it," Tara said.

" I have no idea why that boy did that," Monique said.

"So, if you two are not on a date, then where is Kim?" Tara asked while searching for the redhead.

"At home I guess since Ron didn't invite her," Monique answered.

"Why?" Tara asked again, "Ron and Kim are usually inseparable."

"I really don't think I should tell you that," Monique, "No offence, but I don't know you that well, but I do know who your best friend is."

"Bonnie is a great person, if you get to know her!" Tara said in defense of her friend.

"Sounds similiar to what Ron said earlier," Monique said.

"Really? I can tell her that Ron doesn't hate her like she thinks he does," Tara said happily, "And then Ron and Bonnie can be friends like they use to be!"

"I think Bonnie knows Ron doesn't hate her since they were acting all buddy-buddy at the mall when no one was looking yesterday," Monique told Tara.

"Bonnie didn't tell me that!" Tara said surprised, "She usually goes straight home after Ron's and her family are done with Temple. What were the two doing?"

"I just saw them leave the mall together and actually having a conversation without Bonnie insulting Ron," Monique answered.

"Now I all I have to do is those two back as friends and maybe this will lessen the tension between Kim and Bonnie!" Tara optimistically.

"So you can date Ron without worrying about your best friend's opinion of him?" Monique asked with a sly smile.

"Am I that obvious?" Tara asked.

"Not at school, but when Ron put his arm around me, your jealousy in your eyes rivaled Kim's," Monique said.

"Tara!" a few young boys nearby yelled out.

"Better get back to my family before they start a manhunt," she said while getting up, "So, you are not interested in Ron?"

"Ron is just a friend, so there will not be more competition for him," Monique said.

"That's a relief because I can handle the other girls, but you will be some real competition," Tara said before leaving.

"Monique, you wouldn't believe how long the line was at snack stand," Ron said, "Where did Tara go?"

"She had to go back to her family," Monique answered, before grabbing her Sprite, "What were you and Bonnie talking about yesterday?"

"Nothing really. Just about the plans with you I had today," Ron answered.

"You two are friends now?" Monique asked.

"Maybe, I don't know, but I hope so," Ron answered.

"I thought Bonnie hated you, along with Kim," Monique said.

"Bonnie doesn't hate me, but maybe Kim," Ron said, "Someone who hated me would not have released me from the janitor's closet, which can only be opened from the outside. What kind of idiot makes a door like that?"

"You got stuck in the janitor's closet?" Monique asked, "You got tell me how."

"On the day of the dance, Kim was freaking about asking Mankey out to it. She went to hide in the closet when Mankey was coming her way. I decided to give her a little pep talk, which was successful, and as soon as Josh said yes, Kim slammed the door in my face!" Ron said, getting a little angry at the last part. "Then I was stuck in there for a few hours until Bonnie heard my screaming and let me out. She even gave me a ride home!"

'Ron is actually angry at Kim! I better warn the girl later tonight!' Monique thought.

"Monique, could you please not tell Kim about that?" Ron asked, "I rather tell her myself."

"It's a deal if you tell how you ended up going to the mall with Bonnie," Monique said, "And I want every single detail."

"Deal! After She dropped me off, I offered to repay her somehow and she decided to get something from the mall yesterday as payment," Ron said.

"You mean those new shoes she had?" Monique said, to which Ron nodded, "Better be careful boy, or she might think you are making a move on her."

"Why would she think that?" Ron asked.

"Boy, don't you know shoes are one of the best ways to a woman's heart?" Monique asked.

"Well, I better get a job so I can buy her more shoes," Ron said.

"You would actually date her? For what? The way it would bring you up to that social ladder thing everyone follows at the school?" Monique asked curiously.

"Bonnie is a great girl. She's beautiful, not just sexy, smart, confident, athletic, and that sass of hers is just really attractive to me," Ron answered.

"Kim is pretty close to that," Monique said, "Minus the sass of course."

"Ewww! Kim has been my best friend forever," Ron said, "Can you imagine how awkward that would be for us."

"You know that is how some of the best relationships start off," Monique said, causing Ron to snort.

"That is only true in movies, romance novels, and fairy tales! That never works in real life," Ron said.

"Are sure you don't have a crush on Kim?" Monique asked in a teasing manner, but entirely serious, "I mean you must have in been some close encounters with her during some of those missions and probably seen some of her you weren't supposed to."

"Monique, you may be my friend. but you charting into dangerous territory. So if you don't want to incur the wrath of Kim on you and me, I suggest you stop asking those questions," Ron said, ending the conversation and bringing an awkward silence with it.

"Want to hit the go-karts again? Unless you are still sore from losing earlier," Monique challenged, hoping to get out of the silence.

"I will beat you this time!" Ron said before the two teens raced to the go-karts.

(A few hours later)

Ron was walking home, reminiscing about the great time he had with Monique, when suddenly a hole in the ground appeared right under him.

He was sent through a series of tubes before finally entering the headquarters of Global Justice.

"Ron Stoppable, it is good to see you," Dr Director, the head of Global Justice, greeted.

"Hey Dr. Director. What is the mission this time and where is KIm?" Ron asked, looking for the redhead.

"There is no mission, so there is no need for Ms. Possible," Dr. Director answered, "You are here for your special condition. Follow me to my office so we can speak privately."

"Uh, okay," Ron said confused.

Ron pulled out his mole rat, Rufus, out his right cargo pocket. The rodent rubbed its eyes since it just woke up from its slumber and gave Ron a questioning look.

"What do you think we are going to talk about, boy?" Ron asked Rufus, who gave a shrug in return before crawling back to the cargo pocket.

Ron followed closely behind Dr. Director, while gazing at all the agents moving about. Each agent were wearing gray version of Dr. Director's suit and had all types of gadgets attached to them. Eventually, Ron's eyes found themselves staring at a gorgeous sight, the firm and tone butt of Dr. Director.

'That uniform doesn't leave much to be imagined,' Ron thought pervertly, blushing a little, 'Wo! Where did that come from?'

"We are here," Dr. Director said, stopping Ron for having any more perverted thoughts. The two walked into Dr. Director's office, with the Global justice's head taking her seat behind the desk and instructing Ron to take the seat in front of the desk.

"I know you are wondering why I have brought here you alone," Dr. Director stated, to which Ron nodded," You are here to discuss your mystical monkey powers."

"How do you know about that, Dr. Director?" Ron asked surprised and also ready to try to break out of the underground bunker.

"I was once a student of Yamanouchi and Sensei likes to keep in contact with his students," Dr. Director explained, "And please call me Betty. We are not going to have to be so formal with each other in our teacher-student relationship."

"Wait! You are the one Sensei said was going to teach me? I get a badical super-hot leader of a group of crime fighters as a teacher? My life just keeps getting better!" Ron said.

The blonde teen then realised what he said aloud as an awkward silence emerged.

"While I'm flattered someone your age still thinks I'm 'hot', as you say," Betty said, breaking the silence, "But that does not grant you the privilege to stare at my behind."

"Oh, you caught that," Ron said, rubbing his neck nervously, "I didn't mean too. My eyes were just wandering all over the place and just stopped when they noticed it."

"It is understable Ron. Your powers coupled with your teenage hormones can lead to extreme amounts of arousal and lust," Betty explained.

"So you are saying my MMP can make me... hornier than usual?" Ron asked.

"It will also give you more endurance so you can last much longer during intercourse," Betty said offhandedly, like it was the most natural thing to explain in the world.

"Betty, how do you know this?" Ron asked with a growing blush, slightly uncomfortable with the current subject.

"You were not the first Chosen One, Ron. There have been many others and some of the females ninjas at Yamanouchi have first hand experience and have vividly explained this in the records of the archives, which holds the all the information about the Chosen One's powers," Betty explained.

"Why would they record something like that?" Ron asked curiously.

"So the partners of the Chosen One could prepare themselves for such strenuous activities," Betty explained, "Especially if its their first time. It could devastatingly painful and can cause some form of trauma if the partner, whether it be male or female, is not prepared accordingly."
"Oh," was Ron's reply.

"Now we will run some practice runs so we can build the perfect training for you," Betty said, "Follow me."

She lead Ron to a room that contained a large practice mat in the middle and agent Will Du was waiting there.

"Betty, why is Will Du here?" Ron asked.

"He is going to be your training partner for sparring," Betty said.

"I don't see why I have to train with this amauetur? He has no help during the missions," Will Du complained.

"I'm totally more useful than you! I can at least grab the minions' attention while you just insult us and tell us how to do things correctly when your way is usually wrong!" Ron argued.

"You think running around like a chicken with its head cut off is considered being useful? Most of the times you trip and fall somehow and screw something up!" Will Du yelled.

"Yeah, but it is usually the doomsday machines I mess up! You couldn't even remember you had something to call the VTOL to you until Kim mentioned it!" Ron said.

"You couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag!" Will du said.

"Well, you're stupid!" Ron yelled, not being able to remember any of Will Du's screw ups..

"No, you're stupid!" Will Du yelled back.

Betty sighed as the two boys kept arguing between each other. 'I do not feel like listening to this right now.'

"Both of you need to shut up!" Betty said and both teens were silenced, "Ron, you need someone to spar against who will not hold back and Agent Du, you need someone near your skill level to go on missions with you."

"This fool is going to be my partner! I am the best agent in GJ!" Will said arrogantly.

"You are the best agent in training, Agent Du," Betty corrected, "You still have a few months before you become an official field agent."

"Wait a minute! Sensei did not say anything about missions!" Ron said.

"You will be gathering artifacts for Yamanouchi with Agent Du, Ron," Betty explained, "Kim cannot come on these missions since she has no affiliation with Yamanouchi. Her celebrity status will also bring too much attention to them."

"Will here doesn't have any relation with Yamanouchi, so why does he get to come? If Kim does status brings a lot of attention, then why do you allow her to do some of your missions?" Ron asked.

"For your first question, I send my most talented agents to Yamanouchi for brief training, so agent Will Du has been there. Second, Kim knows talking about her relationship with GJ publicly is a federal offense," Betty explained, "Didn't she tell you that?"

"No, I guess it just slipped her mind," Ron said. 'Just like how she forgot about me in the locker,' Ron thought, unknowingly releasing a growl heard by both Will Du and Betty.

"I talk to her about that next time I see her," Betty said. 'And figure out why you are angry at her.'

'The sidekick is getting angry with Possible? I wonder what she did?' Will Du thought.

"Ron, now I need you to get in your best stance to start your spar with Will Du," Betty ordered.

(Half an hour later)

"I was hoping to see you tap into your MMP during your spar with Agent Du like you had did with Monty Fiske," Betty said, slightly disappointed.

"That part of my powers just comes and go whenever it feels like it," Ron said, while rubbing his sore arms. That spar with Will Du was brutal, the dude was almost good as Shego and Kim in martial arts. 'That's one thing that butthole can do right, I guess.'

"Noted. I have already made a training plan for you for the next couple of months," Betty said, "After School every day, you will be immediately transported here for your training."

"But I have cheerleading practice after school with Kim," Ron complained.

"You waste your time there. You hardly do anything during that time, which can be used to help you control your powers," Betty said, "The only exercise you do is a few flips and being a spotter for the pyramid, which the younger cheerleaders can take care of."

"Your control of your powers is much more important than some extracurricular activity you decided to join on a whim to get your high school counselors off your back," Betty said, "This training I am providing will make sure you are prepared for the Yamanouchi this summer."

"This summer! What if I have plans this summer?" Ron asked worriedly.

"Yamanouchi has sent a letter to your parents under the pretense of being a prestigious international school with an exchange program that has personally requested you for the summer," Betty said, "They accepted the invitation thinking you will come back smarter and more focused on your studies, which you probably will anyway."

"They haven't told me anything about this yet," Ron said.

" I believe they were going to tell you tomorrow, so act surprised when they tell you," Betty suggested.

"Man, how am I going to explain this to Kim?" Ron asked himself.

"You cannot tell Kim anything about this Ron. You will have to fabricate another reason to why you must do these things," Betty told Ron.

"I can't even tell a half-decent lie to her!" Ron said worriedly, "How am I suppose to make an extravagant story for all this?"

"For cheerleading, just talk about how you feel unwelcomed there and how you do almost nothing," Betty said.

"What about the summer is she asks?" Ron asked.

"We will cross that bridge when we get there," Betty said, "But now we must move on to the next phase of training."

"More training? But, I'm so sore!" Ron complained.

"The next part will get rid of the soreness, so stop complaining." Betty said, while getting in the lotus position, "I want you to sit like I am right now and close your eyes."

Ron copied Betty as he sat down and waited for more instructions.

"Now I want for you to reach for your power and let is slowly flow through your body," Betty instructed. She could feel Ron activating his powers. "Good, now clear your mind of all thoughts besides the image of the shrine within your mind."

As Ron did as he was told, he felt a sudden tugging feeling before he found himself inside his mindscape again.

"And that is how you enter your mindscape, Ron," said the ghostly version of Betty Director.

"Betty, you are able to that astral projection thing too?" Ron asked.

"Yes, she is, Stoppable-san," Sensei answered from behind Ron, "She has been my best student that was not the one of the Chosen Ones."

"How many other people do I have to worry about entering my mind?" Ron asked curiously.

"Only us two, Stoppable-san," Sensei answered, "Now how did Stoppable-san do against your agent you sent to Yamanouchi recently?"

"As much as can be expected for one not trained that much," Betty answered, "He will greatly improve over time."

Sensei just nodded at Betty's answered. "Stoppable-san, this is where you will learn how to make sure you do not have random outbursts of your power."

"How?" Ron asked.

"By altering this place to resemble a small village," Betty explained, "At first you only had the shrine here, representing your status as the Chosen One. Now you can find that you have a small creek running beside it, representing your confidence."

Ron then saw the little creak and how little water passed through. The thing was almost dried up.

"The reason it is like that is because you have little confidence in yourself," Sensei said.

"How do I fix that?" Ron asked.

"By making a journey from the area where the creeks originates from, the mountains north of here ," Betty answered, "A journey you must take alone. You will know when you are done when you have left this place."

"Stoppable-san, we will be waiting when you are done," Sensei said as the projection of him and Betty disappeared.

"Crap. I don't think I'm ready for this," Ron said to himself, "But I got to try to become better."
Ron then started his journey to the mysterious mountains. 'Why the hell is there mountains in my mind anyway?'

(Some Time Later)

Ron trip was short and he quickly found himself at top since the thing had a path for him not to get lost. At the top was a steaming spring that just called for Ron to jump in. Ron then found what was stopping the spring from reaching the shrine, a dam.

"Looks who is here," a voice said from behind Ron, causing the boy to jump in fright and turn around. There stood someone he had hoped to never see again, Gill.

"How did you get here? Sensei told me only Betty and him would be able to enter my mind," Ron asked the mutant fish boy. He did not receive an answer as the Gill vomited a stream of green slime from his mouth that covered most of the ground.

'Crap! I don't have anywhere to hide from this stuff,' Ron thought as he slowly backed away until he reached the spring, 'I am not going into there. Gill would gain a massive advantage in the water. I have to figure out how to get away from this stuff he made.'

Ron was stopped from planning by a large hand smacking him across the face, sending him sprawling across the ground.

"If I was paying attention, I would have seen that coming," Ron said to himself, as he attempted to stand up. He found it hard to keep his balance because of the slippery slime coated to the ground and found himself sliding across the ground courtesy of another hit from Gill, who was seemingly skating across the slime.

'I can't let him keep smacking me around like a ragdoll. This ground is too slippery to fight on. What would Kim do if she was in this situation? She would probably try to use the hairdryer grapple thing to latch onto the wall, but I don't have one of those or do I?' Ron thought, 'I remember Sensei saying something about the Lotus Blade being able to transform into different forms.'

Ron summoned the Lotus Blade into his hand and stared dumbly at the thing for a few seconds.

"I don't even know how to make this thing transform!" Ron said before getting knocked across the floor again, "And I need to pay attention to the battle more."

"Lotus Blade, Transform!" Ron yelled, hoping to get a reaction out of the Lotus Blade. No such luck.

"How do you work?" Ron asked the katana, before dodging a blow from Gill, "Hey! I am trying to find out how to make this thing transform to beat you!"

Gill ignored the blonde and turned around to try attack Ron again. Ron jumped to side and landed on his feet, although he slided a little bit.

"I know you probably can not transform into a grappling hook, but couldn't you transform into something similar?"

A picture of a chain that had sickle attached to one end of the chain and a small metal ball attached to the other end of the chain appeared in Ron's mind, followed by a question mark.

"Did you make that appear in my head?" Ron asked the Lotus Blade. In response, the Lotus Blade let off a white light. "I'll take that as a yes. If you can transform into that, I will greatly appreciate it. But I warn you, I do not know how to use that."

The Lotus Blade gave Ron a glimpse on how to wield the weapon and a plan to destroy the dam also.

"Two birds with one stone, eh? You are a very smart weapon," Ron said, which elicited a pinkish shine to appear on the blade.

In a span of a nanosecond, Ron now held the transformed Lotus Blade in his hand. He started to twirl the chain above his head, sickle end in the air. As soon as Gill was close enough, Ron threw the chain and wrapped around the mutant fishboy, effectively immobilizing him. Ron then threw the end with ball towards the dam, pulling Gill along for the ride. Gill's body crashed into the dam, making a large hole for the water to escape through.

"Alright! Mission complete!" Ron yelled as an array of lights surrounded him, "What is going on? Help me Lotus Blade!"

Ron's body soon disappeared after the lights went away.

( A Second Later)

"Congratulations, Ron," Betty said, "And welcome back to the real world."

"So did I complete whatever I was suppose to be doing?' Ron asked.

"Do you feel sore anymore?"

"Not really," Ron answered as he got up and stretched his body, "I feel like the bon diggity!"

"Good because Will Du has been waiting for another round," Betty said with Will Du standing behind her with a wicked smile.

Ron just let out a whine before the spar began.

(The Next Day at Middleton High School)

'What's up with Ron?' Kim thought worriedly from her seat that was on the opposite side of the classroom from Ron, a strange place for her to be.

First, Ron did not show up this morning to walk with her to school, but she did have Josh to keep her company. When she saw him this morning at the lockers and greeted him, he took one look at her and then Josh standing beside her before saying, "Guess she was right," and just left.

In first period, Ron sat in the empty seat in the back of the classroom surrounded by Bonnie, Tara, and a few other cheerleaders. Bonnie didn't seem even bothered that Ron was sitting beside her, she even seem a little happy. Kim told herself she was just imagining things about the part where Bonnie seemed happy.

At the end of first period, Ron had walked out the classroom with Monique beside him. The two brown eyed teens were just chatting it up and had disappeared in the 5-minute rush in between classes.

Now they were in fourth period and Ron still hadn't talked to her.

"Listen up students! For the next assignment, you will be put into pairs to do a report of the eras of American History!" Mr. Barkin said, "Possible, you are with Mankey!"

Kim did a little victory dance in her head, glad to be teamed with Josh and had temporarily forgotten about her stitch with Ron.

"Stoppable, your partner is Rockwaller," Mr. Barkin said, preparing for a scream of outrage. Surprisingly, it never came.

"Whatever," Bonnie said while inspecting her finely manicured nails.

"This time away from Kim is exactly what Ron needs to be pulled over to my side," Bonnie thought gleefully.

'I'm glad we are on good terms,' Ron thought, 'Should make this assignment much easier.'

Mr. Barkin then gave the rest of the class their partners for the project and told the class to sit with their partner to discuss their topic.

"Ron, we should do the industrial era. And before you disagree, just listen," Bonnie proposed, "We can pick a few people in the era who made a large number of inventions. We would give a brief biography about the person, talk about what their inventions did, and the importance of that person and their inventions for the era and future eras."

"Wow, Bonnie. You already got everything planned out, don't you? You were always pretty smart," Ron said.

"Thank you, Ron. We will started today during lunch," Bonnie said, "Meet me in the library."

"But my stomach needs food so I can operate correctly," Ron whined, "You know how I get when I am hungry."

"I'll just tell my mom to buy us lunch and bring it to us. It's not like she is doing anything important today."

"Bueno Nacho?" Ron asked hopefully.

'He just had to say that place with all its trans fat and calorie ridden food. That stuff can make me lose my figure, but I will have to deal with it today. Next time we are getting something I want!' Bonnie thought, "Sure, why not? I'll tell her to get your favorite, two large steak burritos with diablo sauce, right?

"You remembered! I thought you would have forgotten by now," Ron said surprised.

" I don't forgot these types of thing about my friends," Bonnie said, giving a genuine smile he had not seen in years. Ron returned the smile with his own signature goofy smile. Then the bell rang, causing most students to leave immediately.

"Don't forget to come to the library during lunch," Bonnie reminded Ron.

"Don't worry, I won't" Ron assured her, "Especially with Bueno Nacho on the line."

"Same old Ron. Always thinking with his stomach first," Bonnie said as she left the classroom.

As Ron got out of his seat, he spotted Kim out of the corner of his eye walking towards him. Ron started to move quicker to avoid her and the impending conversation she had in mind. As Ron got to the door, Kim tried to grab his arm to stop him, but Ron was able to speed up in the last second. Kim was left standing in shock in why was Ron trying to avoid her so desperately.

'I am going to get to the bottom of this soon,' Kim thought.

"Possible! I suggest you get to class before you are late," Mr. Barkin yelled, snapping the redhead out of her trance.

(Lunch Room)

"Where is Ron?" Kim asked her friend Monique.

"I don't know girl," she answered, "He'll probably be here in a few minutes. You know that boy can not ignore his stomach. So stop worrying."

"But he has been acting weird today," Kim said worriedly, "He won't talk to me and he is avoiding me."

"Maybe he is in a bad mood?" Monique offered.

"When Ron is in a bad mood, his shoulders slump, hangs his head low, has a glare for everyone besides me of course, and mumbles a lot for the day," Kim said, "Today he is standing straight instead of slouching and his head high, like he was defying someone. So something is up."

"Do you know anything Monique?"

"Not really, girl."

"Uh-huh," Kim said skeptically, "He seemed to be in his normal mood when he talked to you. So I know you know something!"

Kim had moved from the opposite side of the table to right beside Monique, still scooting closer.

"I'm really not suppose to talk about it," Monique answered, uncomfortable with how close Kim was to her.

"Could you please tell me?" Kim asked, pulling out the famous Puppy Dog Pout.

"Ron is mad at you for locking him in the janitor's closet after Josh accepted to be your date for the dance and slammed the door in his face," Monique said, "Now Ron is going to be angry at me."

"Er? Am I interrupting something?" a voice asked, "Cause I can come back later."

Kim and Monique turned their heads toward the voice to see Josh Mankey staring at them. Then the two girls noticed the position they were in. The way Kim was leaning over Monique, was leaning backwards, with her face extremely close to her the dark skinned female's made it seem like Kim was about to kiss Monique.

"Oh no Josh! We were just talking about...What we're talking about Monique?" Kim said while putting distance between her and her friend.

'A pretty boy just shows up and you totally forgot about Ron? Girl, you need to work on that before you try to get close to Ron again.' Monique thought, "We were talking about why Ron is avoiding you."

"Oh yeah! I had locked Ron in the janitor's closet," Kim said, "On accident!" Kim added quickly, seeing Josh's bewildered face.

"So that is why you slammed the door that day, but why couldn't Ron just unlock the door from the inside?" Josh asked.

"For some reason there is no lever to turn on the inside, so you need the key to get out," Monique answered.

"How did he get out then?"

"Bonnie, believe it or not.:

"No wonder he did not have a problem being paired up with her for that project," Kim said.

"Kim, I suggest you apologize to Ron now," Josh said, "Getting it over now will better than later so the wound won't fester over time."

"And plus he is with Bonnie! She probably knows how he got stuck in there and giving him false comfort to use him against me! She's probably try to get all the embarrassing secrets about me from him or even worse, trying to destroy our friendship!" Kim said worriedly before standing up, "I have to go now! Thanks Josh!"

The two teens left at the table just stared at the retreating from of the heroine, somewhat worriedly.

"Is she always like that about Bonnie and Ron?" Josh asked, "You know always expecting the worst out of Bonnie and always worrying about Ron."

"Yeah, sometimes worse," Monique answered.

"I will wait until this thing blows over until I ask her on a date," Josh said, "Their friendship has always been tight and I would not want to be a potential distraction for her to fix up this little problem."

'You don't know how much you already are,' Monique thought.

(Middleton High Library)

"Are you sure he is in here, Wade? I mean this is Ron we are talking about?" Kim asked.

"I'm sure, the tracking chip says Ron is here," Wade answered.

"Tracking chip in Ron? Implanted by his best friend?" Someone said from behind Kim, "If only I had a recording device to get that little segment!"

"Bonnie!" Kim said surprised. She noticed the brunette was holding a bag of Bueno Nacho.

"You can't tell him about it! It's for his own safety!" Kim said, noticing Bonnie's raised eyebrow, "What if a villain kidnaps him? I need to figure out where he is!"

"What if you get kidnapped? Do you have a tracking chip in you so Ron can find you?" Bonnie asked.

"No, but I have my Kimmunicator."

"Why couldn't you just give him one of those devices instead?" Bonnie asked, receiving a dumbfounded look from Kim, "And you call him your best friend. I won't tell because he wouldn't believe me anyway."

"Ron," Bonnie said, making the teen look at her, "Let's go somewhere else. We have an unwanted visitor."

Ron looked past Bonnie to see Kim standing nearby nervously. He immediately got out of his seat and stood beside the brunette.

"Ron, I wanted to apologize about Friday," Kim said.

"You want to apologize now? You sure didn't want to apologize when you first saw me this morning," Ron said with a hint of anger.

"She probably forgot with Monkey boy hanging off her arm," Bonnie said, "Ron, let's go."

"Sure, where to?" Ron asked, as Bonnie looped her arm into his.

"I'll tell you when we are away from a certain someone," Bonnie answered as she guided Ron out of the library, leaving a confused librarian and an angry redhead. But, none of them knew someone had watched the interaction with interest.

(Later in the day)

"I can't apologize to Ron when Bonnie is around. She will just remind him of Friday and get him to leave with her," Kim said, "How do I fix this, Monique? I don't want Bonnie making him spill all the embarrassing secrets I have entrusted him with."

"Before I help you Kim, I have to ask what is more important to you. Bonnie getting one up on you or actually fixing your friendship with Ron?" Monique asked.

"Fixing my friendship with Ron of course! I have to stop Bonnie from turning into one of her vain arrogant puppets that only care about that damn food chain," Kim answered.

"Kim, you know Ron well enough that he does not believe in the food chain set up by Bonnie and her sisters. So stop worrying about Ron, let him cool down, and catch him without Bonnie to apologize. Then everything will be fine."

"Okay, Monique. I guess I am overreacting a little. I will a few days," Kim said. The familiar beeping of the Kimmunicator put the redhead on alert.

"What's the stitch, Wade?" Kim asked as she pulled out the Kimmunicator.

"You won't believe this one," the image of Wade said, "Shego is working with Monkey Fist."

"I thought Shego believed that guy was a nutjob worse than Drakken and Motor Ed combined," Kim said surprised.

"He must be paying a large sum of money since Shego apparently stole some japanese monkey artifact and some ancient mask," Wade said, "You know how that guy is about monkeys."

"He's more obsessed with them than Ron is obsessed with Bueno Nacho. Wade, I need you to uh find Ron for me."

"With the tracking chip we placed in him, it shouldn't take long," Wade said, then noticing Kim flinch, "What?"

"Nothing, Wade." 'Besides the fact you just let Monique know about the secret and now she is going to hound me about it.' Kim took a quick glance at her friend to see she had that "We will talk about this later look" on her.

"Kim, this might sound strange to you, but apparently Ron is in the female locker room with one other person," Wade told Kim, who eyes had comically gone wide.

"That slut!" was what Wade heard before Kim had cut off the connection and ran towards Ron's location.

'Ron, I hope you are not messing around with Bonnie or you are in for a world pain.' Monique thought.

AN: I have no excuses for why I am so late. I'm just an extremely lazy bastard. I hope you enjoyed the new chapter, which have had about 70%for awhile.
