KP in Animology Soul Mates
AN: I got this idea from watching the Kim Possible show. The events of this take place right after that episode. So, this is way before the "So The Drama" movie. Herb and Bernadine are characters I made up for this story. After all Ned can't possibly run things all by himself can he? Penny is the girl from the truth ray episode. (Penny is slightly taller than Ron, long blond hair and soft green eyes) FYI: The story's past is not in sync with the show.

Chapter 25: At Last!
As soon as Kim, Ron and Tara entered the doors to the school the warning bell sounded which told the three of them that they had three minutes to get to class or be late!
Tara says, "I've got to go hit my locker, so I… I guess I'll see you two later ok?" She was so nervous about the kiss that she'd given him that she could barely meet his eyes. Her heart was pounding in her chest so much that she didn't know what to do so she quickly dashes off while Kim and Ron say their byes.
As Kim and Ron walk to where their lockers, there were a lot of heads turning to follow them than what usual but aside from the weird gazes, neither one of them had a clue as to what was going on.
They stop at Ron's locker first so he can toss his bag into the messy locker and grab the stuff he needed. So just as Ron closes his locker one of the football players walks by and gives Ron a thumbs up with a big grin as he says, "Dude! Way to go!" before he walks off.
Kim raises an eyebrow as she says, "What do you suppose that was all about?" She looks at her friend as if he knew the inner secrets of the football player's mind.
Ron shrugs and says, "I don't know KP, maybe he's talking about the mission that was on the news? My mom did mention it before we left."
Kim thinks that it did make sense and she did remember Yori telling the reporter that it had been Ron who had defeated Fukushima so she guessed that it was possible. She says, "I guess you're right, lets go. I still need to make a stop at my locker too."
Ron says, "Right behind you Kimbo!" and together they walk off to Kim's locker, which was just down the hallway from his own.
As they walk together, the two of them become aware of even more heads turning and eyes staring at the two of them.
To Ron it seemed to be primarily guys that would smile or look disgusted for some reason. He guessed that standing in the spotlight for a change instead of Kim made him more popular and while he never really cared about that kind of thing, it did feel good.
Kim became aware of how the girls were also staring at her with various looks, which some were hiding poorly and others weren't, many of whom were looking at her with disgust or curiosity. That sense that told her something was wrong was nagging at her, telling her that there was something more going on than a simple news report but she didn't know what and with less than a minute for her and Ron to get to their class, she didn't have time to stop and ask.
The two of them made to class just a few seconds before the bell rang, and they quickly went to their seats. The rest of the class seemed to go smoothly enough in their class with Othmar teaching but even still, Kim couldn't help but feel that something strange was going on.
Kim would catch glimpses of the guys or girls looking at her or Ron with various expressions. At one point she caught a girl looking at Ron with a look that reminded her of how the others during Ron's 'date' with Amelia had been looking at him. The little green jealousy creature in Kim started to flare until she calmed herself down by telling herself that Ron deserved some recognition for once and that was all it really was but she still couldn't shake the feeling that new girls were interested in taking away her Ron.
Meanwhile Tara was sitting in class next to her friend Bonnie who kept giving her a look that she didn't know quite how to read. Since she'd arrived late, she didn't get her usual chance to say Hi to her friend and wonders if Bonnie had somehow found out about her going to visit Ron. She knew that Ron and her weren't exactly the best of friends but not even Bonnie could tell her who she could date.
During the class a tiny piece of paper lands on her desk that was from Bernadine and all it read was "We need to talk. After class?" So Tara nods her answer rather than risk a note passing.
Bonnie frowns as she had seen who the note was from and thinks, "I have got to talk to her. I wonder if she knows about the picture circulating with her in it?" She writes a small note in which she writes, "Do you know about the picture?" before tossing it to Tara.
Tara looks at her friend with confusion and shakes her head, "No" as she begins to wonder what picture Bonnie was talking about.
Bonnie sighs and mouths, "After class" to her friend, not wanting to risk being caught passing a note like the kind it would take to explain to Tara. As far as she knew, not everyone knew about it just yet but that circle was quickly growing.
Tara sits in class, trying to pay attention but her mind would wander back to Bonnie's question. The only time that there was a camera around, was when the news people showed up. She wondered if they had arrived early enough for one of them to take a picture of when she had kissed Ron.
She fights a blush unsuccessfully as she imagines that kind of photo floating around of her and her eyes became unfocused as she remembered the kiss before she even thought about the other girls and how they'd all be mad at her with that kind of photo floating about.
Tara fidgets in worry with her eyes zipping around to everyone else as she hoped that she wasn't about to be lynch-mobbed by all those jealous girls. She needed to know and her only source of information was going to tell her after class. The ringing of the bell never seemed to far away as it did then.
As soon as the bell rang, Tara walks over to Bonnie and says in worry, "Bonnie? What picture are you talking about? Please tell me, am I about to get lynch-mobbed?"
Bonnie looks around and pulls out of the classroom, not saying anything until she pulls Tara into the Janitor's closet for some privacy. Bonnie whips out her cell phone as Tara pleads, "Bonnie! Please tell me what is going on! Is it a photo of me kissing...?"
Whatever Tara might have said next was stopped at her lips as Bonnie's cellphone showed a picture of when they had all been asleep on top of Ron after the mission with a very surprised and nervous Ron looking at the camera.
Tara could only stare at the picture as Bonnie says with concern in her eyes for her friend even thogh her voice was a bit more critical, "Tara, I don't want to know all the gruesome details... but did you and all those girls have sex with the..." she stops for a moment before says, "with him?"
Tara pulls her eyes away from the picture, still a bit of shock before she says, "This... this is from the park! How...?" Her eyes look to Bonne for the answer.
Bonnie goes to the cellphone's menu to call up the sender's ID and says, "I couldn't believe it at first. I thought it was a hoax or some digital editing but you just confirmed what I had already been told." She shows Tara the ID of the sender was none other than Brick Flagg!
Tara's face goes far more pale than Bonnie had ever known the girl to go and she had seen Tara frightened badly in scary movies.
Tara says weakly, "Does... does this mean?" She trails off, unable to finish her thought.
Bonnie puts her phone away as she sighs and says, "Well, as far as I know all the girls in the picture don't know about this yet but it won't be long before some idiot asks one of them about it and then... pain central for Brick."
Tara says in an almost hushed voice, "Do you think Ron knows?" She looks at Bonnie with those sad, shy eyes of hers, hoping that she would get an answer that she could handle.
Bonnie shakes her head as she says, "No, and so far the damage seems to be mainly kept to the football jerks, their friends and maybe a few others. If the hallway is any indication, I'd guess that Kim already suspects that something strange is going on but I bet Stoppable is clueless as ever."
Tara suddenly blurts out, "Don't say that! He saved lives!" before she says more softly, "He saved my life…"
Bonnie's face softens up as she hears that last bit. She may have been Queen of the food chain, but Tara was still her best friend. She says, "Why don't you tell me what happened? And then maybe we can try to keep the damage from spiraling out of control."
Tara nods and says, "Thank you Bonnie" before she hugs her friend so suddenly that it surprises Bonnie.
(After explaining things)
Bonnie's expression was of great surprise as she leans against the wall and says, "Wow… who knew the loser…" she pauses as she sees the expression of pleading on Tara's face before she continues to say, "that is, to say who knew that Stoppable had it in him? And you're certain that he was absolutely clueless about all those girls fighting over him?"
Tara nods her answer before Bonnie laughs and says, "No wonder he hasn't had a date before now!"
Tara says, "Bonnie! Please!"
Bonnie holds up her hands and says, "Ok! Ok! I'll be good! Now, the biggest problem on hand is to stop the picture from circulating before someone goes and knocks off the entire football team."
Just then the warning bell rang and Bonnie says, "I'll do what I can but I think you better let Ron know since he was the only one awake in the picture that Brick's been showing it around."
Tara nods and says, "Thank you Bonnie! You're the best!" She quickly hugs Bonnie and then leaves the janitor's closet to run off to class.
Bonnie makes a bee-line straight to Brick's locker to have a little talk with him about the photo before it hurts her friend any further.
(Meanwhile)
Kim and Ron were standing at Ron's locker as he had forgotten a book he needed when Tara walks up looking very nervous.
Ron smiles as he says, "Hey Tara!" He didn't notice anything from the way she was acting but Kim could sense something was wrong because Tara never acted that way unless she was really nervous or scared about something.
Kim says, "What's the sitch Tara?" almost slipping into mission mode with the vibes that Tara was giving her.
Tara says, "Uh… can I talk to Ron… alone?"
Ron says, "Can it wait? I've got class in a minute and Mr. Barkin's teaching it! I can't afford to be late."
Tara leans up and whispers, "It is about that picture Brick took…of you know…"
Kim couldn't hear the whisper but judging from their faces of shock and embarrassment, she knew something major just had happened. She says, "Well Ron? What's going on?"
Ron snaps out of it and slams the locker closed with the book he needed in his hand, avoiding the question as he says, "Come on KP! We're going to be late for class!" He dashes off towards class and Kim knew that he was right but she makes a mental note to talk to him later.
Tara runs off and just barely makes it to her class and since Bonnie wasn't sharing a class with her that period, she would just have to wait until the end of class to talk to her.
Kim couldn't help but noticed that Ron seemed far too panicked than even the norm for him. She hated the fact that Ron seemed to be keeping a secret from her and that it was with Tara of all people!
Ron knew why all the guys were giving him thumbs up now, why the looks from some of the girls were different now. And since he was still alive only told him one thing, which was that none of the other girls other than Tara knew a thing about Brick's photo. Still, once the secret was out, he figured that he would the first corpse in MHS, quickly followed by Brick.
Just as Ron was starting to calm down, thinking he was safe until the end of class at least, one of the cell phones belonging to a student made a chiming sound him to the sound of a received message.
Mr. Barkin walks up just as the guy quickly checks his message because he knew the phone wouldn't be returned until after class.
Mr. Barkin says, "Hand over the phone. You know the rules! No calls or messages unless it is a dire emergency from a family member! So, tell me… is it?!"
The guy gulps and shakes his head as he says, "N-No… but I think…" he was about to press delete when Barkin grabs the phone from his hands and says, "Just what is so fascinating then? Perhaps it is something you can share with the entire class?"
Mr. Barkin starts to walk back to the desk as he says, "You can pick it up after class. Afterwards you and I will spend a minute about phone etiquette in the classroom!"
He stops just as he passes Kim's desk he notices what's on the screen and drops the phone onto Kim's desk after shouting, "Great Gatsby!"
Kim looks down at the phone and her eyes go wide for as clear as day was a photo of Ron with a bunch of girls all sleeping on Ron in various places! She blushes redder than her hair as she sees everyone else in the class quickly moving to see what the photo is that shocked even Mr. Barkin.
Kim grabs at the phone only to have Mr. Barkin's hand come down on top of hers quickly, stopping her from pulling it away. She thinks about pulling her hands free but the angry and determined look on his face put away those thoughts with the cellphone still showing to anyone who dared to look the picture.
Mr. Barkin growls softly, "Possible…" before he snatches the cell phone from her hands and yells, "Do you care to explain how this picture of yourself, Amelia, Penny, Monique, Bernadine, Yori, Dyane, and Tara came to be on a cell phone? With all of you apparently sleeping on top of Ron Stoppable?"
Those who hadn't seen the picture in the class all gasped loudly and every head in the class turned to stare at both Kim and Ron.
Kim had NO idea how the picture came to be or who had even taken it but she knew it couldn't have been Ron since he was as surprised as anyone in the picture and with all the girls on top of him, there was no way he could have taken it.
Kim says, "I… I don't know Mr. Barkin! I was asleep when it was taken!"
Mr. Barkin looks at the picture and can see that she is telling the truth, which left him with only one other person who was awake during the picture time. He turns to Ron and says in a loud, military-style yell, "Stoppable! Front and center!"
Ron jumps to his feet and yells, "Yes sir! Barkin Sir!" This normally would have caused the other students to laugh or snicker at him but their overriding curiosity about how such a loser got to even be in such a situation.
Mr. Barkin yells, "Explanation for this, now!" He shows Ron the picture in the cell phone which makes Ron's eyes grow wide before he gulps.
Ron says, "Um… ah… you see…KP and I and the other girls… we… had just beaten Fukushima. Um… I guess we just got tired and…um… I guess I was just comfortable?" With the last part of that explanation, he hunches his head into his shoulders, almost squeaking the "comfortable" word.
Kim says, "Surely you heard about it on the news Mr. Barkin. The crazy ninja that destroyed…?" She was cut off by Mr. Barkin raising his hand as he firmly says, "Yes, I heard about that on the news but I suspect that there is more to this story."
Mr. Barkin growls, "Who took the picture? I will have his head for disrupting school with his shenanigans and for disrespecting the girls in the picture!"
Ron blinks as he thinks, "Am I off the hook here? Will I actually survive Mr. B's wrath?" He straightens up and says, "Brick Flagg took the picture… sir" He remembers to add that last part in case Mr. Barkin was still angry at him, hoping that the use would somehow alleviate whatever he may still have planned for him.
Mr. Barkin notices that more than half the class is still standing before he yells at them, "What are you all standing around gawking for? SIT DOWN!"
Everyone quickly moves to their seat, even Ron sits down until Mr. Barkin turns his attention to Ron and yells, "Stoppable! Did I tell you to sit down just yet?
Ron stands up a little slower and shakier as he says, "B-But, you just told everyone to sit down…"
Mr. Barkin yells, "I meant everyone but you two troublemakers!" He turns his head to see Kim is standing before he says to Kim a bit louder than necessary, "Do I make myself clear?"
Kim and Ron both nod silently as they both wonder what their fate will be at the hands of Mr. Barkin and that was something both of them were afraid of far more than any villain either had ever come across.
Mr. Barkin says loudly, "Ok people! I am going to leave the room to deal with this! Everyone stay put until I get back if you know what's good for you!" He then turns to a student and says, "You're in charge of order until I get back!"
Mr. Barkin leaves the room and the utter silence that follows barely lasts a full 60 seconds before everyone erupts with questions for either Kim or Ron.
Kim shouts, "Everyone was just tired from the battle, NOTHING HAPPENED!" in response to the barrage of questions coming her way. The shout does little to help as the questions change.
Ron shouts, "Hey! Hey! Hey! I didn't do anything with any of those girls! I passed out and they carried me! They were already like that when I woke up!"
One of the girls grabs onto Ron's arm and says, "What were you doing with so many beautiful girls in the first place?"
Ron says without even thinking, "I was just trying to enjoy my date!"
This has an immediate effect of shocked silence from everyone in the classroom.
Fortunately before anyone else could say anything more further, a student by the door says, "He's back!"
Everyone scrambles back to their desks with Kim and Ron still standing where they were when all of the chaos had started.
Mr. Barkin walks into the room with Brick Flagg in tow as well as the Principal. This causes everyone to think "Gulp" in the room and many eyes turn to Kim and Ron as Mr. Barkin says, "Kim Possible! Ron Stoppable! You two are to join Mr. Antoine in his office."
After a few moments of hesitation Mr. Barkin, "Now people! I have a class to get back to teaching!"
Kim and Ron both bolt to the door where they join Brick before they all leave the classroom.
(Later)
Mr. Antoine, the school's principal was not anything like Mr. Barkin. In fact, where Mr. Barkin was hard man, Mr. Antoine was a kind man and the very reason that Kim and Ron were able to go on so many missions without any kind of trouble.
Mr. Antoine sighs and says, "Kim… Ron… I truly believe that you two would never just skip school to play hooky. You two have saved the world more times than there are cars in this city. That is why I'm willing to give some leeway in this case but I need to know what happened here."
Kim and Ron look at each other before Ron nods to her, confident that she could explain things better than he could.
The others in the room along with Kim and Ron were all the girls, minus Yori were sitting in the room and hoping that Kim could truly do the impossible and get them all off before their parents were called in.
Kim takes a deep breath and says, "Well, it all started when Amelia and Ron agreed to go on a date, with each other."
Mr. Antoine turns his head before looks at Amelia with skepticism before she nods and says, "It is true, I asked him to go out with me."
Mr. Antoine looks back at Kim and says gently, "Please continue Kimberly"
Kim fidgets a little and says, "Well, Ron had never had a date before so he asked me and Monique for help."
Mr. Antoine nods and says, "I see. That was very kind of you two to help Ron."
Ron smiles a little and says, "She's my best friend Mr. A"
Mr. Antoine smiles softly and nods before he says, "So I have heard. Now please continue Kimberly."
Kim's cheeks were still a little flushed from the compliment from Ron before she says, "Well, the date started innocently enough but before long, Zita tried to help while they were at the theater."
Mr. Antoine says, "Excuse me, but do you mean Zita Flores?"
Kim nods as she says, "That's the one"
Mr. Antoine says, "Please continue"
Kim says, "Well, after that Ron and Amelia continued on without Zita's help and they went to eat. At which they ran into another girl who suggested the baseball game. Ron got excited and we all went to play a short game."
Mr. Antoine says, "Who is all in this "We" that you are refurring to?"
Kim lightly blushes and says, "Um, Ron, Amelia, Monique, and Bernadine"
Mr. Antoine thinks, "I think I see a pattern developing here. I need more information to be sure."
Kim says, "When we got there, we met up with the rest of the girls that you see here and we all played some baseball but..." She thinks, "I guess it is ok to mention Yori since Fukushima was on the news." She says, "Fukushima, the ninja from the news showed up and kidnapped Tara to get Ron to follow him to a place he had set up just so he could get revenge on Ron for a earlier defeat."
Mr. Antoine thinks, "Ron is either a very lucky guy or incredibly unlucky guy. I can't decide which just yet." He says, "So everyone went along with Ron to help save Tara?"
Kim nods slowly, as she tries to keep out how all the girls were chasing after Ron and somehow he had remained clueless during it all.
Mr. Antoine smiles a little as he says, "That was very nice of you girls, I am proud of you all." He thinks, "I think there is more to this story than she's telling. I find it hard to believe they would all just join in on a date unless they had other motives less than pure."
Kim says, "The battle was very intense and Ron saved a few lives during it, including my own." She looks at Ron and thinks, "Oh Ron... I wish I could tell you how I really feel about you."
Mr. Antoine watches the look between Kim and Ron and thinks, "She loves him. I know that look because my own wife gives it to me all the time." He couldn't tell if Ron felt the same way but a quick look over the other girls revealed that all the girls were at the very least crushing on Ron before he thinks, "I know what he is now. Ron is the luckiest, unlucky guy ever."
Mr. Antoine says to Kim, "So what happened after the battle?"
Kim says, "Well... Ron passed out from the intense battle and when both the news and the police showed up, we stuck around long enough to tell what was going on and then left. We carried him as far as the park where we all too succumed to exhaustion and because it was a cool evening we all laid down to share body warmth."
Mr. Antione remembers that is was cool and a bit breezy that night so her story made sense. He says, "What happened next?"
Kim says, "I don't know about how the picture came to be. I was asleep." Her cheeks were warm as she blushed a bit deeply in her embarassment.
Mr. Antoine turns to Ron and says, "Since you appear to be awake in the picture, I assume you have an answer Ronald?"
Ron gulps and says, "Ah-Ah-Ah, I do... I had just woken up a minte before because Brick was playing music on his cellphone and when he saw us. He took a picture and left."
Mr. Antoine then turns to Brick and says, "Is that what happened?"
All eyes, paritcuarlly unhappy ones from the female persuasian all turn to face Brick. He can see and feel the angry eyes upon him as he says, "Y-Yeah, that is the way it happened. I was going through the park, listening to my music when I spotted this weird tent made of earth. I loook'd inside and there he was with all the babes around him so I took the picture."
Mr . Antoine raises a eyebrow and says, "An Earth tent? The park doesn't have anything like that."
Brick chuckles before he says, "It did then dude! It looked really cool!"
Ron suddenly speaks up and says nervously, "I ah... can explain the tent... You see, I um...woke up before Brick showed up and noticed the girls were getting cold so..." He looks around nervously around at everyone in the room and says, "I used my mystical monkey force powers to create a tent to keep everyone warm."
Kim says, "Aw, that is so sweet of you Ron..." with all the girls agreeing quickly and for the first time in a long while on anything upon the fact that what he'd done was sweet.
Mr. Antoine softly chuckles at the display before him and thinks, "Ok, so it looks like Ron will live another day..." He pauses to look at the way one of the girls was flexing her hands while staring in a way that told him Brick was in for a world of hurt.
Mr. Antoine says, "Mr. Brick, regardless of the circumstances in which you found the girls. You had no right to take such a photo and even less right to show it around the school thereby embarassing the girls. It shows a complete disrespect for your fellow classmates and for this school!"
Mr. Antoine sits down and says, "I'm afraid I'm left with no choice but I will have call your parents and tell them what you did. Then the three of us will decide whether to suspend you or put you in detention. Either way, you will be suspended from doing any football for a while."
Brick's eyes grow wide as he says, "Wait... no football? But I'm the quarterback!"
Mr. Antoine says, "I realize this but that status does not grant you immunity to the laws of society or this school." He pauses and looks directly at Brick as he says, "It is either this or I could leave the room for 20 mins and leave you to face whatever the girls think you have coming your way until I return."
Brick's eyes dart around the room as he gulps audibly and even he can see that he'd rather be suspended for a little while, rather than never play again after being at the hands of so many angry girls. One of whom was Kim Possible, a girl who reportedly knew more martial art styles than he could count with both hands.
Brick may not have been the sharpest pencil in the box, but even he had a sense of self preservation. He says nervously, "Uh... I choose to live. I mean go ahead and call my parents and..." He finds it hard to say what he had to say next, "t-take...m-m-m-me off of f-f-football... I deserve it." His shoulders slump in defeat after he says that.
The angry atmosphere in the room goes down, not completely but enough that Brick felt like he would live at least.
Mr. Antoine sighs softly as he hated to do that to Brick as knew the lad wasn't really bad, just didn't use his brains much which was why he was still in school after six years. He knew he would push to keep Brick out of sight until the girls cooled off which he guessed would be a week given the way things usually went around his school.
Mr. Antoine says, "Ok everyone but Brick can leave now to return to their classes and I don't want to hear of anyone taking actions against Brick or they'll face my angry side! Believe me! When I get angry, I'm worse than Mr. Barkin!"
Everyone just silently looks at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces before they all stand up except for Brick Flagg. He just stayed in his seat, looking down and sighing once more.
Kim pauses at the door as she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If anyone knew how Brick didn't think, it was her as as a cheerleader from watching him on the field and from her limited talks with him. She looks at Ron who nods in understanding before she says, "Mr. Antoine? I... want to say something..."
Since all the other girls had already left, Mr Antoine smiles as he says, "Somehow, I am not surprised at how you and Ron came back. Let me guess, you two came back to try and convince me to be more lenient on Brick. Am I right?"
Both Kim and Ron nod slowly before Kim says, "So...uh, you're not really upset?"
Mr. Antoine chuckles, "Kimberly, if I hadn't punished Brick the way I did. Then it was obvious that Brick wasn't going to see his next football game without being in a full bodycast."
Brick weakily says, "Kim... Ron... I'm sorry. I hope you two can forgive me."
Kim smiles just a little as that had what she really wanted to hear. A nice, sincere and not threat prompted apology. She says, "Thank you Brick, I appreciate that."
Ron says, "Don't sweat it man, I forgive you too. I know you didn't mean any harm by it."
Mr. Antoine says with mock seriousness, "I think you two should get to class or... should I get Mr. Barkin to help me out?"
Ron laughs and says, "Ok, I get the picture! We're going now!" He the grabs Kim by the elbow and whispers, "Come on KP, lets go before he really does get Mr. Barkin involved."
Their next class wasn't together and they had all spent enough time in the office to miss the rest of their class.
Tara walks up and says shyly, "Hey Ron... can I talk to you for a moment? Alone?" Her eyes glancing at Kim.
Kim nods and says, "I'll just go get some water from the fountain... be right back." She walks away and wonders what Tara wanted to talk to Ron about. She figures it probably had something to do with what happened in the office.
Tara says, "Hey Ron... um... about earlier at Kim's house..." She blushes as Ron says, "Don't worry, I understand. You were just thanking me for that deal with Fukushima."
Tara looks Ron directly in the eyes and says, "No... I mean yes... in a way I was but... I was... I mean..." She stops and takes a deep breath with her eyes closed before she says as she opens her eyes, "Ron, will you go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Tara couldn't believe she finally got the nerve to ask him straight to his face and now she waited to see his answer.
Just then, Kim returns from the fountain and says, "Hey Ron, can I talk you for a moment? It is about your date with Amelia..." She pulls Ron away and once she is out of earshot she says, "Ron, I need to know something. Did you like the way Amelia asked you out for a date instead of you trying to ask?"
Ron smiles goofy-like as he says, "Yeah, it is nice to hear a lady that actually wants to be with the Ronster instead of putting myself out there only to be shot down repeatedly."
Kim looks down as she says, "Oh... I see..." She thinks, "I guess it would be pretty hard to take even for someone like Ron after a while." She says, "Well, here's the thing Ron... I have been thinking about you for some time. As..."
Ron says, "A best friend? Pre-K pals? a partner?" before Kim almost shouts, "Ron! As in a date! I want to date you!"
Ron blinks and thinks, "Two beautifl cheerleader girls, one of whom is my best friend, asking me for a date? What are the chances?"
Ron nervously says, "Y-Y-You want to be my date? Like to the movies this week?"
Kim smiles and says, "Yes! I thought you'd never ask me!" She gives him a quck smooch on the lips before she says with a smile, "I've got to get my homework from the locker. I'll see you next class Ron!" She runs off down the corridor, leaving Ron to wonder what just happened.
Tara walks up and says, "R...Ron? About my question?"
Ron turns to face her and says, "Yes Tara?" Still a little dazed by his best friend wanting to date him out of the blue like that and somehow wrangling a date with him.
Tara smiles as she thinks she hears, "Yes Tara" and says, "Oh thank you Ron!" before she gives him a quick kiss on the lips! She says, "Thank you Ron! You can't imagine how happy you've just made me!"
The warning bell goes off and she says, "Oh! I still need to grab my stuff from my locker! I've got to go! Thank again Ron!" and then with a peck to the cheek she runs off with both unaware that eyes had watched the whole thing.
Ron walks in a daze, grabbing his books from his locker and making it to his class which didn't have Kim in it for that period. He thinks, "I've got two dates? I've got TWO dates?" It isnt until the class is half over that the thought finally sinks in an he shouts "Boo-yah!" causing everyone to just stare at him for a few minutes. He lamely chuckles and says, "Ah-heh... gotta love this class?"
With all the weirdness that usually went on with Ron, no one gave him another thought or look and the class continued.
Ron thinks, "Oh man... I hope this doesn't all turn out to be some sort of strange, wonderful dream."
The End...for now?
AN: Well everyone, I hope you're happy. Tara got to ask Ron out, so did Kim and now I have you all probably wondering if all this was a dream on Ron's behalf. What do you think? Dream? Not a dream but a wonderful reality? Do you want to see a sequel? Yes or No? What would happen if Ron tries to go out on a date with either/both girls? Would it be like a Betty/Veronica/Archie thing with Amelia being that redhead whose name I can't remember? As usual, all thoughts, ideas, A-Team items, Second Life money and more are welcome!
