Ch.18
Ron knew he did the right thing, of that he was sure.
Though his feelings were a mess. It was the look in Ann's eyes as she sent him away. She was determined to end whatever relationship was going on between the two.
He also knew that was the right thing to do, especially considering his friendship with Kim. It was the right thing to do, so why did his heart hurt so much.
As Ron struggled with his emotions and thoughts he walked to the lobby, his face devoid of emotions, even as his tears continued to flow. Stepping outside the hospital, Ron breathed in the fresh air while trying to calm his mind. When he succeeded he got into a taxi that was dropping someone off.
Just as he was about to give his address, he saw Ann leave the hospital and head to her car. Deciding to make sure she made it home okay, Ron gave instructions to the driver to follower her.
~~~
Ann wasn't in the right state of mind to do another surgery that day, so she left work early after letting the hospital know she was feeling unwell.
Her destination was home, she felt the need to see her children. Ann wasn't really conscious of the ride home, mostly driving by habit. Once home she announced her presence hoping to hear the kids reply but there was only silence. Checking the time, Ann noticed that the twins weren't going to be home for another hour but Kim should be home.
Making her way upstairs, Ann went to check if that was the case.
"Kim, are you home?" Ann asked just below the stairs to Kim's room.
Waiting for a response to her call proved ineffective, so Ann opened the door and went into Kim's room. She first heard muffled moans, stopping her in her tracks, before Ann decided to stop whatever was going on. Clearing the stairs took only three steps and then Kim came into view. She laid on her bed, headphones on and was naked, legs spread with her left hand playing with her clit and a vibrator in her pussy. Her right hand held her phone to her face fueling her fantasy.
Relieved that her daughter was just pleasuring herself and not having sex with some boy, Ann started to head downstairs. As luck would have it, Kim's hand moved just enough to notice her mom.
"Aaaaahh!" Kim screamed and covered herself with the sheets. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Ann sighed, she had hoped to avoid this. Seeing Kim take off her headphones she spoke. "Got out of work early and was hoping to surprise you and the twins. Then noticed they don't come home for another hour and you just weren't responding, so I came to check on you."
"This is so embarrassing." Kim states not able to look at Ann.
"Sweety, it's okay, everyone explores their body. It's part of coming of age." Ann assures Kim.
"Mom, you are not going to tell dad about this, are you?" Kim hesitantly asks.
"Don't worry Kim, this will be a secret between us girls." Ann says.
"Thanks mom, you rock." Kim says relieved.
"Now, I'm going back downstairs, be ready to go out when the twins get home. We are going out to dinner." Ann instructed.
"Got it." Kim said.
~~~
After Ron made it home, he sent Yori a text and asked her to meet him in the house. Not two minutes later they sat in the kitchen of the Stoppable home.
Once again, Yori proved her understanding of Ron and noticed the chaos going on inside him, prompting her to speak first. "What troubles you so, Ron-san?"
Ron looked Yori in the eyes and began explaining everything from the very beginning. He told her how one day during the Rocket Boosters event at the space center he caught Mr. Dr. P cheating on his wife. How he was threatened into silence with a trip to the nearest black hole. How as he grew up, his view of Ann changed from Kim's mom to his first crush. How he noticed the ever increasing sadness that Ann was feeling in her marriage. How he wanted to tell her the truth, but fear and lack of evidence prevented him from doing so. How he likely started sharing dreams with her shortly after getting the MMP. How when he was influenced by Drakken's evil he got the evidence of Mr. Dr. P cheating. How he had caught Ann pleasuring herself and eventually gave her his virginity and didn't regret a second of it. And how, just today, he showed her the truth of her husband's affair.
"But frankly what troubles me the most is her determined look to push me away. It makes my heart feel like its breaking." Ron finally finished explaining, honestly thinking Yori would be angry with him for practically admitting having feelings for another woman.
To Ron's surprise, Yori didn't seem angry. He also noticed the only surprise she showed was when he admitted to giving his virginity to Ann, not to him having feelings for his bestfriend's mom. Ron wondered how could this be until he remembered the shared dream.
"Ron-san, if it hurts so much win her affection and show her that by your side she will be happy." Yori stated.
"Yori, I really don't think I'm worthy of you." Ron admits. She was so understanding and supportive that he feared he was taking advantage of her. So he promised. "As long as you are by my side I'll do my best to make you the happiest woman in the world."
Her response made Ron's heart skip a beat.
"As long as I'm by your side I already am." Yori said with a beautiful smile.
That was the moment when Ron became certain that his feelings for Yori would only become stronger.
Getting up, Ron opened his arms and Yori quickly came to his embrace. Ron acted instead of using words to bring their relationship closer. He started to kiss Yori and very quickly the kiss intensified. It wasn't long before their tongues challenged each other for dominance.
Ron's hands were actively touching Yori's body. He had started at her hips merely bring Yori closer, but as he felt the heat in his body rise he reached down and took a firm hold of Yori's ass, loosing focus as his fingers sank into her flesh causing Yori to take control of his tongue.
Yori's reaction to Ron was equally strong, as her right hand went under his clothes to rub Ron's chest, while her left brought Ron closer. Once there was little space to separate the two, she tugged at Ron's belt which seemed to cause his pants to drop before she could get the buckle loose.
Ron could literally feel the temperature rise between him and Yori, as their hearts seemed to accelerate in unison. Taking a moment to breathe, Ron stepped out of his pants and underwear that had dropped to the floor, kicking off his shoes in the process. He felt Yori's intent to go to her knees and take him into her mouth, but he desired a taste of her. Putting strength into his hands that were kneading her ass, Ron lifted Yori onto the kitchen table before stepping back and removing his jersey and shirt.
Ron closed the distance to Yori and once again, clothes seemed to just slip off, as within a second Ron was holding Yori's shirt in his left hand, her skirt in his right hand and her bra between his teeth causing Yori to giggle at his display before wrapping her legs around Ron's waist. Ron put Yori's clothes into a chair before focusing on Yori again. Not being deterred by the difficulty of removing Yori's panties, Ron's uses his right hand to tug on them and Yori's panties slipped off her body. To Ron's surprise, Yori wasn't disappointed and her smile grew as she brought him into a kiss.
The kiss lasted a while and in the middle of it Ron felt Yori start stroking his penis that occasionally poked her belly. Ron couldn't wait any longer and broke the kiss to finally get a taste of Yori though he didn't rush it and trailed his way to Yori's pussy.
"Nnn! Ron-san!"
Yori's response was amazing, especially when he sucked on her nipples, her moans a song that Ron could listen to forever. Just before focusing on Yori's pussy, Ron had her lay down as he kneeled himself. Ron, was momentarily lost in thought as he admired Yori and looked up into her eyes, smiling as he began with a lick.
"Mnn!"
Ron didn't waste time before he started in earnest. At first he was licking Yori as he tasted her but soon he pushed his tongue as far as he could into her pussy. Then, he'd make a shape with his tongue and bring it back out. Then rinse and repeat. As a result he had Yori nearly squirting at his actions, the juices overflowing.
"Aah! Ron-san."
Ron heard Yori once again moan his name and his penis throbbed in response to her call but it wasn't time yet. Now focusing on her clit, Ron decided to push Yori over the edge. Yori's legs tightened around Ron's head as his tongue constantly teased her clit before Yori orgasmed into his mouth.
Staying in place for a while, Ron licked Yori's orgasm before standing and placing his penis at Yori's pussy.
"Ron..-san... Nn... I wan..t you!"
As soon as he heard her words Ron pushed into the expecting Yori. The sensation and his feelings for her nearly bringing an orgasm out of him. Ron set his pace, pushing further into Yori though he was already at the entrance to her womb and pulling back even as she refused to let him go. It was a slow cadence meant to give both of them time to adjust.
Ron couldn't take his eyes away from Yori's lovely face. As their eyes locked Ron didn't know it but not only did he increase his pace but he leaned in and kissed Yori. It was a tender kiss filled with as much affection as he could show and Yori returned it in kind. After the kiss, Yori lightly bit Ron's lip as a moan slipped free.
"Ahn!"
Ron's hands, that were at Yori's waist holding her in place, let go and moved to her breast. He kneaded the flesh as he brought his mouth onto her nipples and sucked, causing Yori to tighten around him. With a smile, Ron continued his ministrations, feeling Yori's reactions to his actions and engraving into his heart what she liked.
"Nn! Mnn! Ron..-san I'm..cl..ose!" Yori moaned.
"Yori!" Ron called out her name as he sped up his cadence.
Once again holding onto Yori's waist, Ron was determined to make Yori orgasm, his muscles glistened with sweat as Yori held onto his neck and brought him to her chest. Ron finally felt Yori orgasm, her body shaking at its intensity and barely managed to pull out before cumming himself. Yori, having crossed her legs at his waist. Ron and Yori held each other for a minute catching their breath before anyone spoke.
"...We have to.....be careful Yori, I...almost couldn't pull out." A panting Ron admitted quietly to Yori.
"I..I know.....Ron-san but...my body moves on its own." An equally panting Yori explains before asking with a blush. "C..can you con..tinue?"
At her words, Ron's still erect penis seemed to do a jump cheer atop of Yori's belly. Taking a deep breath Ron answered with a smile. "As long...as you need me to."
Although Ron didn't realize this till a couple years down the line, his 'as long as you need me to' would be put to the test many times, making him grateful for his abilities as he always seemed to bounce right back.
Ron was so happy as he showed his affection to Yori. He made her orgasm and came countless times but never did he grow tired. He truly felt like he was in paradise.
When Yori finally passed out, as they were doing it doggy style on the kitchen table, Ron knew it was time for a break. First, he took Yori to the bathroom and cleaned her up while making sure not to wake her. Then, he tucked her to sleep in his bed and left a note that he'd be in the lab. Lastly, he cleaned the kitchen and showered before heading to the lab.
~~~
Although it was pretty late, Mrs. Renton's car was in the driveway when he stepped out to go to the garage. As the lift was bringing him down Ron considered he hadn't eaten yet and decided to check with them before ordering something for him and Yori.
Upon entering he spotted Felix and Mrs. Renton, but no Zita and Wade.
"Evening Mrs. Renton, Felix." Ron greeted and asked. "Did Wade and Zita go home?"
"Hey, there Ron!" Felix greeted and explained. "Their parents didn't let up on their curfews so they had to go home."
"Yeah, dropped off Wade and Zita a few hours ago." Mrs. Renton added. "Speaking off, thought we weren't going to see you again today."
"Sorry about that, there was something I had to do. By the way, did you guys eat yet? I was about to order something." Ron explained before asking.
"We could use a late night snack." Mrs. Renton agreed with Felix nodding. "That reminds me the school called and it starts again Monday. There were no pest found so everyone is set to go back."
"Yeah, wait till I find out who called the food inspector." Felix growled out.
"It's okay wheels, no harm done really." Ron soothed.
"Ron, you almost had a shot at a scholarship ruined!" Felix yelled.
"I have to agree with Felix on this one, Ron, even for a prank that was too much and some of the parents are trying their best to find and punish the culprit, myself included." Said Mrs. Renton.
Ron felt touched by their care and declared. "Thanks. Now I'm going to order Italian, want anything specific?"
After ordering, Ron got to work on some of the features for the Neuro Linker and while he was focused he heard teacher Xu's voice, jumping in surprise. "It seems you have a talent for creation."
"Aaah!"Ron screamed.
"Everything okay?" Mrs. Renton asked.
"You okay, Ron?" Felix followed up.
"Yeah, I'm okay, was just surprised with some of the results, sorry." Ron quickly apologized before whispering. "Teacher Xu, how can you talk to me when I'm not in meditation?"
"It is thanks to you granting me access to your senses." Xu Ming Yue explained before apologizing. "My apologies for frightening you."
"It's okay, I know it wasn't your intention." Ron said and asked. "Does the process of making things interest you? Would you like an explanation?"
"An explanation is not needed since I have been watching from nearly the beginning. Though I must say that technology has lost some of it's intuitive properties." Xu Ming Yue replied.
"Intuitive properties? What do you mean? Isn't it now that we have started to create AI's? Shouldn't technology as a whole have advanced to a new stage?" Ron asked for an explanation.
"Technology as a whole has advance by leaps and bounds but the intuitive weapons, spirit weapons and the concept of AI as it's currently called has been around for a long time." Xu Ming Yue said and started explaining. "With Ki, the right materials and a talented forge master, you could create weapons that could defend their master without so much as a command, defensive barriers that deploy when you perceive a threat and tools that shape themselves according to your intent. The most talented forge masters could create weapons that had awakened a spirit and were able to communicate just like you or I."
Ron took a moment just thinking of the possibilities before noticing a point. 'Barriers that could deploy when you perceive a threat. That's it! That's what I need!! It was the perfect way to protect Yori.'
"Teacher Xu, by any chance were you a forge master?" Ron asked hoping that he could protect Yori.
"I was not a forge master myself." Xu Ming Yue's words made Ron feel like his world was crashing down around him. 'So close to protecting Yori.' He thought nearly cursing. "But I do know the basics from an exchange I did while having a sword forged, they may help you."
"Teacher Xu, I beg for your assistance. I must learn how to make the defensive barriers as soon as possible. Yori's life depends on it." Ron firmly requested.
"I understand. I will pass on the memories of those days to you when you train later. Whether you understand them or not will be up to you." Xu Ming Yue agreed.
~~~
Yori woke up a few hours after Ron left her in the bed. When she looked around she found Ron next to her, his arm around her waist and smiled. He was asleep but still managed to make her heart race.
As she looked closely at Ron, Yori noticed the changes he was undergoing. His freckles were fading and his body had been honed and toned. His presence and constant 'Ronshine' was soothing to the point it was addictive.
As Yori looked at Ron in his sleep, she noticed her hunger and then noticed the food and a couple notes on the nightstand. Turning on the light to see clearly after leaving the bed she read the notes. 'Yori, I'll be in the lab, hope you rested well. Love, Ron.' And 'Here's some Italian, hope you like it, Ron.'
Yori touched the container and noticed that it still had some warmth, meaning it wasn't long since Ron went to sleep. Smiling she ate and went to her room to get her night clothes, seeing as she was completely naked. Now with one of Ron's jerseys covering her form she laid down next to him and put her head on his chest to listen to his heart beat before going to sleep.
Yori didn't know how long she listened to the steady rythm of Ron's heart but it was daytime when she noticed it change.
"Morning, Ron-san." Yori greeted.
"Morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well?" Ron greeted and ask.
"Very much so, thanks to you." Yori admits.
Blushing, Ron kisses Yori before sitting up and starting to get ready. This became the norm on how they started their day.
~~~
Shego woke up and sighed. She had been doing that a lot over the past few days. She looked around the lair and couldn't wait to go back home Friday to see Ron and Yori.
Shego went about her morning activities before getting dressed in her trademark suit and started towards the lair's kitchen. Spotting Drakken she greeted. "Hey, Dr. D."
As for Drakken, the guy has been eagerly awaiting a package the last few days as he went over his schemes. Hearing Shego's greeting he replies. "Good morning, Shego. I hope you're well rested since I'll need you to steal some supplies."
"Get me a list Dr. D and I'll see what I can find." Shego said eager to get the next heist into motion.
After a while, Drakken hands Shego a list that practically requires she shop at a chem lab and Shego got to work.
~~~
Bonnie and Tara had a sleep over the day before with a few of the cheer squad members, Kim obviously excluded.
The cheer squad questioned Bonnie on her break up with Brick and Bonnie explained that it wasn't working between the two. Then, they asked Tara if she was finally making a move on someone, seeing as she been working on new hairstyles with the girls all night.
"I'm going to make a move on, Ron." Tara declared and the girls sharply inhaled in response while turning to look at Bonnie.
"She has my support." Bonnie said effectively shutting down their brains and answering the unspoken question.
The girls reigned in their shock and bombarded the two with questions, especially Bonnie because her long term put downs of Ron. Just past 1am, Tonnie, Bonnie's mom came over in a very revealing nightie and asked the girls to quiet down.
"Sorry mom, we'll keep it down." Bonnie quickly said not surprised with what her mom was wearing.
Tara, though not the first time seeing Tonnie in such an outfit, blushed at the sheer sensuality that she exuded.
The girls lowered their voice after Tonnie left, but the atmosphere seemed to have changed. Aside from Bonnie and Tara, the girls were looking at their bodies and comparing themselves to Tonnie.
"What's your mom's secret to looking like that at her age?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, tell us." Marcella and Hope echoed.
"Please." Added Jessica.
Liz's eyes were hopeful as they looked at Bonnie. What happened next was a blissful torture for Bonnie, that even Tara joined in. Though the information they got was useless at one point it didn't matter anymore.
~~~
Monique was in a bad mood. Scratch that, she was pissed. Last night was supposed to be her chance to tutor Ron but she got stuck pulling a double shift for a sick coworker. She had let Ron know with plenty of time but the missed opportunity was something she couldn't come to terms with.
Still, Monique planned to surprise him today and stop by. She even went by Bueno Nacho and got something for them to eat.
As she arrived at the Stoppable's, Monique pulled out her phone and called Ron.
"Hey Mon, what's up?" Ron said upon answering.
"Not much baby boy, just thought I'd stop by today if you don't mind." Monique explained.
"That's great. When are you planning to drop by?" Ron asked.
"How about now? I brought breakfast for you and Yori." Monique said with a mischievous smile.
"Okay, great. I'll send Yori to let you in, my hands are kind of tied at the moment." Ron said.
"Great, I'll wait by the door." Monique agreed.
To Monique's surprise, Yori didn't come from the door she expected but from the garage.
"Good morning, Monique-san." Yori greeted.
"Morning, Yori. Didn't expect to see you come out of the garage." Monique admits.
"Ron-san is at the lab, he's been spending a lot of time there since it was completed. Though he wants to keep it a secret for the time being." Yori explained as she led the way back to the lab.
"Okay, not a word." Monique agreed stepping onto the lift.
Moments later, Monique got to see the lab and couldn't help gasping. It was state of the art and from the looks of things, custom made. She spotted Felix and his mom to the side working on something and Ron towards the back in front of a computer.
"I don't think I brought enough food." Monique comments.
"Cheese." Rufus made his entrance climbing onto Monique.
"Don't worry Rufus, I made sure to get you a Naco with extra cheese, grande size." Monique announced.
~~~
Turns out there was enough food for all of them. Ron and Rufus just didn't get extra.
Monique had been given the tour by Yori as Ron, Felix and Mrs. Renton worked. When she was done seeing the apartments Monique's level of surprise had reached the peak. Ron had an environment made for people who 'take work home' to the extreme but only accessible to a select few.
"You really outdid yourself here, Ron." Monique compliments.
"Thanks, I think it's a good start." Ron replies.
"So what are you working on?" Monique asks seeing as he was busy till a few minutes ago.
"A lot. A brain machine interface, next gen entertainment tech, hearing assistance, vision assistance and defence tech to name a few." Ron says.
"Wow." Was all Monique could say.
"Yeah." Ron agreed.
Then, Monique proceeded to pull him away from work to go over the school work they were supposed to go over the day before.
Ron went over the schoolwork faithfully, which is to say without complaints. Sadly for him, Felix remembered that it was his turn to tutor him too and after Monique, he started another session with Felix.
Monique got to try on the Neuro Linker as Ron was going over the schoolwork with Felix. Yori even showed her some of the features that were already available.
"Have to admit this is going to change everything." Monique says between laughs of excitement.
"Yes, Ron-san is going to change the world." Yori agrees.
"You and Ron seem a lot closer Yori, is it safe to assume you guys started dating?" Monique asked after mulling over it for a while.
"Although we are a lot closer Monique-san, we haven't talked about dating yet so I do not know." Yori admitted.
"I know that it is unfair to you, Yori, but I don't think I'm able to give up on Ron even if you're dating." Monique says while clenching her fist and unable to look at Yori. She felt ashamed of her behavior. "But I believe I can make him happy."
"I know." Yori says.
~~~
When Ron noticed an awkward silence between Yori and Monique, he asked Felix for a moment and went over to them.
"Everything okay?" Ron asked.
"Yes, Ron-san. I believe it is." Yori says.
Grateful Monique gathered her thoughts before answering. "Yeah, we are okay. Just taking everything in, you're going to change everything."
Blushing profusely, Ron thanked her and went back to the tutoring. An hour and half later, Ron finished the lesson and decided to make some lunch for everyone. Going down to the kitchen he started cooking. Not long after he noticed someone coming in and felt it was Monique.
"Hey Mon, feeling better." Ron asked aware that she was feeling a bit down after talking with Yori.
"Ah, feeling better? What do you mean?" Monique tried to deny it.
"I know you Mon and that was frankly the first time I've seen you so down on yourself." Ron insisted.
"I'm okay, Ron, really." Monique assures him and asks. "You and Yori dating?"
"I think so?" Ron asked back.
"You think?" Monique asks again.
"In my book we are, but I'm not sure she thinks the same. We haven't talked about it yet." Ron admits.
Sighing Monique decides to play her card. She stands and walks over to Ron.
"Ron, look at me." Monique commanded. When he did she kissed him, lightly at first but it intensified quickly. Leaving him breathless Monique declared. "I'm going to make you mine."
Ron was blushing as he looked at a determined Monique and unable to speak. Seeing her smirk Ron knew she got the reaction she wanted to see. In a moment Ron finally found his voice.
"I look forward to it." Ron flirted.
Monique's smile became a little bigger and Ron knew school was going to be interesting the next day.
~~~
The next morning after the run and not getting painted so badly, Ron and Yori went to the school.
Ron asked. "Yori, are we dating or is it just me?"
"Ron-san, what would you like us to be?" Yori asked in return.
"To be honest, I think we are couple but I want to make sure you are on the same page." Ron explains.
"That's what I would like as well Ron-san and much like you I want your opinion before assuming." Yori says.
"So it's official, we are dating." Ron said and adds. "Booyah!"
"Booyah!" Yori agrees.
Their excitement peaks when they enter the school. Then, Monique looks Ron up as he is with Yori and steals a kiss from Ron and kisses Yori on the cheek.
"Morning." Monique greets.
"Good morning, Monique-san." Yori replies.
"Morning, Mon." Ron barely responds before his lips are snatched again.
"Morning." Greets Tara and asks. "Are we on this weekend Ronnie?"
Once again a round of 'good morning' goes around in the now stunned silent hallway, before Ron explains that this weekend he won't be able to study seeing as he has to go out of town.
Ron had just finished explaining when Bonnie walks up and steals a kiss from him before greeting those present. This started a rush of whispers ranging from: 'Did you see Ron kiss Monique, Tara and Bonnie?' To "Ron is blackmailing Monique, Tara and Bonnie.' Two blondes saw this in the hall from different perspectives. One of them being Brick, who had wanted to make amends with Ron after having calmed down. Now he was sure Ron needed a beating. And two, Justine Flanner whose lockers was two down from Ron's.
~~~
Ron's school week was filled with short bursts of hormonal overloads as in school, Monique, Tara and Bonnie sneaked kisses and made passes at him.
This, of course, led to intense and passionate nights with Yori, that he couldn't thank enough for. By the time Friday arrived and Ron was going to meet Kim at Bueno Nacho he knew that if the girls asked him to, he'd do anything for them.
~~~
Shego had stolen everything that was needed for Drakken to proceed with his experiments once he had the Aurora Orchid. By Wednesday afternoon he was in his lab trying to make the serum that would make Kim Possible dissapear.
It took Drakken till Friday morning to make sure he synthesized the serum correctly. By the afternoon, he was above the local Bueno Nacho waiting to spray Kim Possible.
"This serum is derived from the rare Amazonian Aurora Orchid. When it makes contact with the skin and the subjects embarrassment causes them to wish they'd disappear, this serum will make them vanish before our eyes..." Drakken excitedly explained when Shego's words cut him off.
"Question 32, you feel prettiest in a, pink, b, purple. Definitely green." Shego puts down her answer.
'She's not even paying attention and it's in the contract!' Drakken thinks to himself. 'Whatever I'm about to rid me of Kim Possible once and for all.'
"..you have to admit they sound a lot, a lot, alike." Ron says as he walks out of Bueno Nacho with Kim.
Time to spray her.
"Arh, Ron would you let the Mankey, monkey conspiracy die already!" Kim snapped as Ron quietly closes his eyes to finish the soda. "I'm begging you."
Now!
Lowing himself to the right height Drakken sprays Kim with the serum with no one seeing him.
"Hey! ...did you see that?" Kim asks.
Opening his eyes Ron asks. "See what?"
"I don't know, nothing I guess." Kim replies already leading the way to their next destination.
"Muhuhahahah." Drakken laughs now standing next to Shego who brought him back on board the hovercraft. "Now, we have front row seats to Kim Possible's demise, follow them."
After arriving at the Mall, Shego asks. "So what now?"
"Haven't you been reading Shego? The mall is the ideal place for teenage embarrassment. Now we just sit back and watch the show."
~~~
Kim is walking with Ron right next to her and as she goes to take the stairs she spots Josh with Bonnie and a couple other girls and panics.
"It's Josh! I should bail. No he's probably seen me by now. He'll think I'm stalking him. I'll make my entrance from the health food stores so he'll think..." as Kim thought aloud going back and forth by the stairs Ron simply pocketed his hands and waited, till Kim took a step too far and fell.
"Kim!" Ron screams.
Kim landed on her ass and in the process of falling nearly ripped Josh's shirt off his body.
"Smooth entrance Kim, very subtle." Bonnie comments.
"I'm sorry Josh, I tripped. I...I..." Kim is trying to explain when she felt something odd from her belly and looks down to see a near transparent swirl where her bellybutton was.
Panicking, she stands and runs away from the situation, deeper into the mall hearing Josh call out to her. When she's forced to stop she reached the end of the line and was standing in front of Club Banana. Looking at her stomach again, Kim pales and cover the area with her hands and runs into the store looking for a mirror. Once there she looks around to make sure there's no one in the area and moves her hands away.
Originally she thought that her bellybutton was gone but now looking at it the swirling, transparent, vortex is just above it. Bringing her left hands index finger near Kim feels a strong pull nearly suck her finger inside.
"Ah."
"Hey Kim, wait up." Ron calls out to her.
Covering her belly Kim turns around.
"Are you okay? That was nasty." Ron says.
"Ron something critical is happening to me, look." Kim says and pulls away her hands.
Taking a step back in surprise Ron speaks. "I'm no doctor but you might want to get that checked out."
~~~
Half an hour later, Ron was in Kim's room as he held Rufus who was holding the Kimmunicator to scan Kim. A couple seconds later they had a scan.
"Scan complete, compiling data now. You said this started right after lunch, right?" Wade asks. "Check out this footage from a Bueno Nacho security camera.
The clips displays Drakken spraying Kim with something as she and Ron talked.
"Drakken." Kim declares.
"Got it!" Wade declares and explains. "According to body temperature readings Drakken's rigged it so that every time you blush cue the disappearing act."
"What does it mean? I'm turning invisible?" Kim asks.
"Well, that doesn't sound so bad, it kind of cool actually." Ron comments trying to lighten the mood.
"Sorry guys, but it's more serious than that. If the transformation becomes complete Kim would be gone." Wade explains.
"Gone, gone like how?" Kim asks.
"Gone, as in gone forever." Wade explains again.
"Kim, you could embarrass yourself right out of existence." Ron declares.
"The good news is I've isolated the cause. The polen of the Aurora Orchid. It's only found in the remote regions of the Amazonian jungle. Another dose of the polen should negate the effect." Wade says.
"Quest time! Come on, Rufus." Ron says moving to the stairs.
"Oh, yeah." Rufus exclaims and jumps onto Ron's hand.
"Let's go." Kim says moving to follow Ron with the Kimmunicator in hand.
"No way. What if you barf on the plane or get gum stuck to your shoe. You have to stay here and avoid embarrassment at all cost." Ron counters.
"Oh, come on. I can do anything. I can keep myself from getting embarrassed. Totally mind over matter." Kim says tapping her head.
"Sorry too risky, KP. I mean if it were me." Ron's says going back up the stairs.
"You what?" Kim asks.
"If I got hit by Drakken it wouldn't matter." Ron declares confidently.
"How so?" Kim asks.
"Oh, I don't get embarrassed." Ron says.
"Never?" Kim asks.
"Not that I can remember." Ron says thinking about it seriously.
"But what about the time you lost your pants?" Kim asks still reluctant to concede the point.
"Times, too many to count my friend. And did I blush? I did not!" Ron says.
"Hate to admit it, but he's right. You're grounded." Wade declares.
Ron closes the distance and takes the Kimmunicator.
"I'll bring back the flower, just unplug and relax." Ron promises.
~~~
Kim listens to Ron's advice and isolates herself in her room. She closes the blinds, locks the door and turns off the computer before laying on her bed.
"Blinds close, door locked and computer off." Kim counts before looking at her phone and reaching to turn it off when it rings. She hesitates a moment before answering. "Hello?"
"Kim, it's Josh." Josh greets.
"Josh! Look I'm so sorry about your shirt, I'm..." Kim begins.
"Kim, I just wanted to see if you're okay?" Josh asks.
"I'm fine, for the most part." Kim says.
"Listen, I know this is kind of last second, but want to hang out tonight?" Josh asks with a smirk on his face.
"Yes!" Kim says then remembers her dilemma. "No, I mean yes. Yes, yes, definitely yes." Kim says pacing around her room now.
"I'm sorry is that a yes or a no?" Josh asks.
"Yes, just give me time to get changed." Kim declares.

Ron stopped by his house to get his mission pack and let Yori know that an emergency mission came up. After making her promise to hang out with Monique, he was off on the experimental craft Wade had come up with.
The flight to the Amazon was taking too long and Ron couldn't calm down. He kept looking at the Aurora Orchid and memorizing every detail of the flower. Then, he looked at the time and start all over again.
"Ron, I'll be meeting you at the location, this is an opportunity to test something I've been working on." Wade said.
"Wade, I don't think this is the right time to take on a field challenge. This is a time sensitive mission so it's going to be extremely hard even on a ten year old surper genius." Ron tried to dissuade.
"Don't worry Ron, I'm sending a Wade bot." Wade soothed. "It's practically ready for field testing and I figured you could use the back up."
"Thanks Wade, I appreciate it. Now I'm going to try to relax before we arrive, let me know when we are there." Ron says.
"You got it Ron." Wade agrees and cuts the connection.
Ron spent another twenty minutes memorizing the flower before he tries meditation to some success. Now with his mind cleared of all but the task at hand he follows Wade's instructions into the Amazonian jungle.
A half hour hike later, he got to the spot he was supposed to meet the Wade bot at. He was at a dock with no one in sight.
"Ron, Rufus meet the Wade bot XR prototype." Wade announced his presence from behind some foliage.
What came out of the foliage was a computer monitor with a camara and was mounted on the bottom part of a motorized wheelchair. Knowing Wade, he gave it enough gadgets to make a difference with it's harmless appearance.
"Alright, let's go." Ron said and led the way to the boat.
While Ron helped the Wade bot on board, Rufus got the boat ready to move. Turns out the Wade bot also had extendable limbs of sorts, one of Wade's gadgets.
Within minutes Rufus had them sailing downstream, following the map Wade had on display.
~~~
Ding dong!
With the sound of the doorbell ringing, the twins yell 'we'll get it' in unison and run towards the door. Knowing who is at the door Kim flips off the couch and dashes to intercept.
"Don't even think about it dweebs." Kim commands while blocking the door the turns around to open it.
"Hi, Kim." Josh greets.
"Hey, Josh." Kim says when her brothers start making kissing noises in the doorway.
"You ready?" Josh asks.
"Let's ride. Bye mom, bye dad, I'll be home by ten." Kim declares closing the door but opens it again and reaches for a coat.
~~~
Back in the Amazon, Ron, Rufus and Wade are listening to some music when Ron asks. "How are we doing on time?"
Wade types something and answers. "As long as Kim stays in her room we are fine. It's just another six to seven miles down river."
Nodding, Ron leans back into the seat when he notices the boat picking up speed. Sitting up and looking around reveals they entered some rapids.
"Rapids!" Ron yells as Rufus tries to control the boat.
"Uh, that's not on the map." Wade says looking at his monitor.
"No, they're right in front of us." Ron yells and grabs the monitor to point it in front.
Now, there's the sound of something breaking and Rufus squeaks. "Oh oh."
Ron looks back to see they just lost the ability to steer and grabs a paddle. Pushing it into the water Ron does his best to keep them from crashing into the sides but it's a quickly loosing battle.
~~~
As Ron is doing his best to control the boat, Wade begins typing on his keyboard and the Wade bot reveals a propeller that it inserts into the water.
Just before Wade took control of the boat, Ron is pushed by a wave and looses his balance, falling. In the second or two it took Ron to regain his footing, Wade manage to steer the boat to avoid the rocks and sail downstream. After a while, when he felt they passed the rapids, Ron begins to celebrate.
"How you like me now mother nature! Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy's daddy?" Ron sings till he feels Rufus tug on his pants.
He looks down and sees Rufus pointing ahead and pales. They were heading straight to a waterfall.
"That's not on the map either." Declares Wade.
Ron does the only thing before impending doom that he's used to, he grabs the Wade bot and Rufus and screams as they go over the edge.
A couple feet after the initial fall Wade grabs onto Ron and Rufus and deploys a glider and says. "It's good to get out of my room once in a while."

Shego has been bored the last few hours as they waited for princess to disappear. Then as night is arriving, Drakken makes a phone call and an hour later Kimmy goes out on a date. Shego of course shucks it to a coincidence as they follow the couple into a restaurant not ten minutes later.
"Table for two please." Drakken announces and they're led to a table on the second floor that over looks the first.
Ten minutes later, after observing Kim and her date Shego says. "He's kind of cute, I approve."
"What are you, her sister all of a sudden?" Drakken asks and continues. "We are trying to banish Kim Possible from the face of the earth remember."
"One heaping helping of embarrassment coming right up." Shego declares and leaves the table.
Sneaking into a service closet, Shego grabs ahold of the next waiter to walk by, dragging him inside before knocking him out with minimal noise. She then steps out in the waiter's clothes and goes into the kitchen for a soda refill. Shego walks right to Kim's table and replaces her drink with a new one, the cup having holes meant to spill the drink and steps away.
Shego observes Kim grab the drink and it starts spilling and closes the distance again as an embarrassed Kim tries to dry herself up. Slipping a whoopee cushion onto the seat, Shego once again disappears.

After gliding for a while, Wade speaks up. "This valley is the only place on earth where the Aurora Orchid grows."
Hearing this, Ron looks around and spots a clearing. "See if you can set it down there Wade. That looks like a safe spot."
To Ron's horror, shortly after landing and before Wade manages to collect the glider a panther stalks towards them and begins it's chase. With no time to hesitate, Ron grabs Rufus and starts running in the opposite direction with Wade, having ditched the glider, close on his heels. There were a few close calls, where Ron took ninety degree turns to avoid becoming dinner, but their road came to an abrupt halt as they came upon a cliff.
Ron starts thinking fast. Calculating the odds of tricking the panther into jumping of the cliff when Wade speaks. "Hang tight guys I got this covered."
Grabbing Ron and Rufus before pulling them off the cliff.
Typing, Wade announces. "Initiating parachute measures now." A second or two of free falling and he says. "Oops."
"Wade we're free falling of a cliff, this is no time for oops." Ron screams.
"My bad, I never got around to sitting down and actually installing the chute. It's sitting here in my closet." Wade explains.
"Aaahh." Ron and Rufus scream seeing the jungle quickly approaching.
Thankfully, their decent although painful, was not lethal. They started hitting some massive leaves and vines on the way down, slowing their momentum enough to survive.
First thing Ron did after knowing he was okay was call out to Rufus and Wade. "Rufus, Wade! Please tell me you're okay."
"Hey!" Rufus squeaks pointing at the Aurora Orchid right next to him.
"Extract it without damaging the roots buddy." Ron instructs. "Wade, check it out, we're home free."
When he hear nothing from Wade, Ron looks around and spots the completely damaged Wade bot. Seeing as they just secured the one thing that would save Kim's life Ron decides to lighten the mood.
"No Wade, hang in there buddy. Just listen to the sound of my voice." Ron yells and runs to the Wade bot. "It's going to be okay." The screen that was displaying static shots off. "It was his first mission, he was so young." Ron says dramatically lifting the Wade bot onto his arms. "Stay with me pal."
Rufus tugs at his pants. "Leave him."
"No, no one gets left behind, not on my watch." Ron declares now hefting the Wade bot onto his shoulder.
"Ron, I'm fine, get back to the flower already." Wade announces from the Kimmunicator.
'All that effort and not one laugh.' Ron thinks dropping the Wade bot and moving to pick up the flower.

"How about I have her sit on some gum, that should do it." Shego says.
"Relax and enjoy the show Shego. I've brought in some experts to finish the job." Drakken declares.
"Experts?" Shego wonders when two shadows startle her into dropping the popcorn she was holding.
"These ninjas have been trained since birth in the art of inflicting humiliation." Drakken announces as the two shadows attack and defend in front of them.
One of them reaches out for a handshake and Shego subconsciously responds getting joy bussed. "Aah, embarrassment ninjas, are you kidding me?"
"I guess in their field it pays to specialize." Drakken argues then points to Kim. "Go, get her."
Shego proceeds to watch the embarrassment ninja get owned in a quick bout of martial arts above the unsuspecting movie watchers and Kim returns with some popcorn back to her date.
~~~
Just as Ron was about to pick up the flower, a couple of kunai stab towards his hand. Reacting quickly he retracts his hand and looks around spotting the ninja hiding in the shadows.
"This is as far as you go, outsider." The one in charge declares.
Ron instantly recognizes the voice. "Fukushima."
"Nice of you to remember me but after today, you and Kim Possible will cease to exist." Fukushima declares.
"You still working for Monkey Fist?" Ron asks. "He doesn't dare appear before me?" Ron taunts hopping he is not around.
"My master has deemed you unworthy of his time and I am more than enough to get rid of you." Fukushima explains before declaring. "Monkey ninjas, attack."
With that command all turned to chaos. Ron lost track of Rufus as a rain of shuriken started flowing down on him and the flower.
"Evasive actions Rufus." Ron yelled incase Rufus was unaware of the danger.
As he yelled, Ron jumped towards the flower with a front flip. Before he flipped back up his hand was holding a kunai and he used it to fend off some of the incoming projectiles around the flower. Still, he was hit by shuriken while protecting the flower but all lethal attacks were blocked along with any that targeted the flower.
Grunting in pain, Ron yelled. "Is that what your confidence amounts to, Fukushima? An attack from the shadows?"
Ron was dripping blood onto the flower and out of the corner of his eye he spotted Rufus safe and sound, relaxing a bit. Relaxing proved to be a mistake for Fukushima appeared silently behind him and slashed a blade across his back.
"Aahh." Ron yelled as he spun to face Fukushima.
"You were saying." Fukushima taunted.
Ron gathered his concentration this time and reached with his mind to Rufus. "Rufus can you get the flower and go into stealth mode?"
"Got it." A deep voice responded nearly making Ron turn his head around.
"I'll toss it in three." Ron began counting.
"Two." Rufus supplements.
"One." One says Ron putting his foot under the flower.
"Now." They said in unison as Ron spins and kicks the flower in Rufus' direction.
This earned Ron another slash, this time across his leg but although it hurt, he could still move it, though he suspected that was thanks to adrenaline. Outnumbered and on a time sensitive mission, Ron did what he never did before, he attacked first.
He started by pulling out some the shuriken stuck to his body and throwing them at Fukushima, then he launched himself at the nearest monkey ninja. Slashing at it's neck with the kunai, Ron could have killed it in one blow but hesitated. The monkey ninja took the extra second to duck under the blow and slashed at Ron's side.
Seeing the exchange, Fukushima declares. "You're weak, outsider."
Ron grits his teeth and continues running into the jungle so they are forced to give chase. As expected they do, with the monkey ninjas in the lead but even among them some are faster than others. What Ron does next aggravates his injuries, but was necessary to stay in the lead, he jumps onto the trees to pick up speed among them.
Now above the ground and moving much like the monkey's, Ron was able to gain some control on who attacks him. Ron slowed down enough for the closest monkey to attack him and countered in the air with enough force to crack its skull, hopefully taking it out of the fight before speeding up again.
"You're loosing too much blood." Teacher Xu warned him.
"You're right." Ron quickly agreed and took another drastic decision. Ron dug into his pocket for the lipstick laser and before he had a chance to change his mind, opened it and swiped it on the wound on his side. Stifling a scream, he flipped forward and did the same for his leg. The smell of seared flesh permeated the air. "That should help."
"You're right, now you must control the sound you're making." Teacher Xu cautioned.
"Do you have something in mind?" Ron asked as he tries to erase his sound and presence.
"It is time for you to hunt." Teacher Xu announced and guided Ron. "Take a ninety degree turn and conceal yourself a few trees ahead."
"I understand." Ron said and took the ninety degree turn, speeding up. After jumping a few trees ahead he hugged a tree he was passing, disappearing from sight and scaled it to get some height and surprise his pursuers.
"Now!" Teacher Xu said just as Ron let go and kicked off the tree towards the back of two monkey ninjas. Ron landed on their backs with enough force to slam them onto the tree branch below and snap it in half. "Grab one of their weapons while continuing to run towards the right. They should spread to intercept you."
"Divide and conquer, got it." Ron said following the instructions to the letter and now holding a kusarigama.
A few hundred meters later teacher Xu spoke again. "Turn around and incapacitate one of your pursuers."
Ron didn't hesitate, he bit onto the kunai handle and took a proper hold of the kusarigama before jumping onto the tree trunk and pushing off in the direction he came from with a grunt of pain.
Holding onto the sickle in his left hand and the chain in his right, Ron spun the chain as he headed back. Spotting the monkey ninja in the lead Ron attacked with the chain when it was mid jump. The monkey ninja brought its sword up to defend and it got trapped by the chain. Ron yanked the chain trying to disarm the ninja but it refused to let go of its weapon and lost it's balance as it was dragged towards Ron. Seeing the opportunity, Ron impaled it's side into the tree with the kusarigama and left the weapon behind trapping the ninja as it howled in pain.
Ron started to worry as he was running out of strength. 'How many left? Can I hold on?'
There were two monkey ninja closing in from the front. Ron waited, hoping for instructions from teacher Xu but when none came, decided to attack. Closing the distance to the one on the left, Ron used the kunai as a distraction and delivered a right hook to the temple, grabbing the sais at it's waist. The other monkey ninja tried to assist it's companion but Ron quickly spun, stabbed one of the sai into it's arm and then the tree they were standing on.
Ron turned to the one he punched across the temple to intercept an attack but he spotted it falling to the ground below.
"Four remain, do not relax." Teacher Xu warned.
"Okay." Ron said and kept moving.

Shego piloted the hovercraft above the cinema as she and Drakken looked at Kim and her date exiting. Shego saw them stop in the sidewalk and talk.
As they were talking Shego noticed something strange. Kim's date stepped subtlety back and the embarrassment ninjas passed by the puddle splashing Kim. Then, he proceeded to yell at the car but never really showed surprise.
'Interesting.' Shego thought.
