The Twists and Turns of Love – Chapter 5

“Oh my God girl, that is so romantic!”

“I know! I took so long for me to get to sleep last night, I just kept thinking over everything we did. I didn’t want the night to end!”

“I am so jelling right now! I so want someone who would do that for me!”

Kim and Monique had only been shopping for a couple hours, and all Kim could talk about was her night with Ron.

“So, when are you two going out again?”

Kim just smiled. “Oh, we’re going to Beuno Nacho tonight, just to hang out.”

“Beuno Nacho? No huge romantic gesture? No dancing or dinner or anything like that?”

“Monique, that’s not who we are. Yes, it was great, but I wouldn’t want to do that all the time, it would ruin how special it is! Just because we’re dating now shouldn’t mean we lose what we already have.”

Monique just shook her head. “I guess you’ve got this thing all figured out.”

“Not by a long shot!” Both teens laughed at that.

They turned back to the pants they were looking at when they heard an odd noise. Kim looked over at Monique, who just grinned. Her stomach had rumbled.

“Guess that’s our cue to get something to eat!”

“Got that right girlfriend! I’m thinking pizza! You in?”

The two quickly left the store, but when they approached the food court Kim quickly saw someone she really didn’t want to have to deal with.

Bonnie.

The brunette stood whispering quietly with her friend Tara, and the blond could be seen emphatically shaking her head. Bonnie whispered again, and Tara’s face just took on a resigned expression. With that, Bonnie walked over to the two of them, a smirk on her face.

“Hey K, you gave your faithful little loser the day off? That’s so sweet!”

Kim refused to look at her as she stood in line, waiting to get her food. “I really don’t have time to deal with you today Bonnie!”

Bonnie grabbed Kim’s arm, pulling her from the line. “Well make time! I was embarrassed at the prom on Friday, and that’s your fault!”

Monique quickly moved beside Kim, glaring at the brunette. “You better step back before…”

Kim just raised a hand, cutting her friend off. “I got this, thanks Mon.” She turned to face her rival, no longer in such a good mood. “My fault? As I recall, you were the one who embarrassed yourself, while trying to do the same to me. Don’t blame me if your little plan backfired!”

Kim watched the expression on Bonnie’s face, especially when Tara slinked up behind Bonnie, whispering in her ear. She was surprised to find the grin go wider, and Kim glanced back and forth between Bonnie and Tara. Finally, Bonnie just turned and began to walk away.

“We’re so not done with this Kim, but I have things to do! Ta ta!”

Kim and Monique just stared after the two as they walked off. Monique just had a satisfied look on her face, but Kim was a bit confused. It wasn’t like Bonnie to just give up like that, and she had looked almost happy about it.

“Come on girl, don’t let her get to you. Besides, I’m hungry and we already lost our spot in line!”

Kim just shook her head slightly, before turning back to Monique. “Yeah, I guess you’re right!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ronald, could you come down here?”

“Sure Dad, just a sec!”

Ron quickly closed the book, glad for any distraction to get his mind off schoolwork. He hopped down the stairs quickly, and paused when he saw his father sitting on the couch, serious face on.

“Come, sit with me a second.”

Ron just nodded, a little wary about what was going on. As he seated himself, he noticed a few things on the table, and wariness grew into concern. He really hoped that he was wrong.

“What’s up Dad?”

“I was speaking with Kim’s father last night, and while I know we covered this some time ago, but he and I thought that this might be a good time to go over it again!”

Oh God, it is…

“I know you love Kimberly very much, and we do too!”

And here I had just about blocked this from my memory!

“We understand how you feel each other, and while normally you wouldn’t this quickly in a relationship, we are just afraid that, since you’ve known each other as long as you have, that certain… impulses might take over.”

Oh God please, not the…

“So, I thought we would start from the beginning!” He picked up a cucumber, and opened the box before him, pulling out a single small package. “Let’s start with how to properly put on a condem!”

SEX TALK!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I swear, I really do think Bonnie is just jealous!”

Kim just laughed. “Come on Monique, this is Bonnie we’re talking about. I really doubt she has a thing for Ron!”

Monique just shook her head. “OK, maybe not for Ron, so much as you’re relationship! After all, look at how often she dates someone and breaks up with them. It’s been like six times with Brick already! I think she’s jealous that you might have found that special someone, and she hasn’t!”

Kim took a bite of her pizza slice and just nodded. “Maybe you’re right, but that doesn’t explain her behavior before Ron and me got together!”

“Girl, I keep telling you. Everyone expected it!”

A sound to their left distracted them, and Kim quickly rose to her feet. She watched as one poor guy, obviously on his lunch break, made a mad dash for the garbage can. Knocking the lid off quickly, the sounds he made quickly cost Kim her appetite. Glancing at his table, she could see why. She could see the green mold hidden under the cheese of his pizza slice. Quickly turning back to her table, she and Monique checked their slices, sighing afterwards.

Good thing they were out of pepperoni when we got up there. That could have been nasty!

The beep of the Kimmunicator caught her attention, and she quickly pulled it out.

“What’s the sitch, Wade?”

“We have a break-in at the space center. It looks like Motor Ed is after one of the new experimental engines!” The boy paused, as if straining with something. “Kim, what’s that noise?”

“Someone got a bad pizza slice. I’m just glad that’s not me! Give Ron a call, have him pick me up at the front door.”

“Gotcha Kim.”

Kim tucked the Kimmunicator back into her pocket. “Sorry Monique, looks like we have to cut this short!”

Monique just smiled. “No problem girl. Just make sure you keep your head in the game, and not on Ron!”

Kim just laughed. “I really don’t think that will be a problem, Mon! This is me we’re talking about!”

Kim turned and ran for the exit. Monique just shook her head as she watched her friend go. “Yeah, I do know you. That’s why I’m worried!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“And then the egg travels down the fallopian tube, where…”

Oh please, someone kill me, or save me, or something! Please, before he gets to…

“You know, your mother and I…”

Oh God, why do you hate me so? What did I ever do wrong?

The beep from the Kimmunicator forced them both to pause. Ron pulled the device out so quickly, Wade could have gotten whiplash.

“Wade, what’s the sitch? Technology being stolen? Super villain on the loose? I’m on my way!”

“Whoa, whoa, settle down! Motor Ed is breaking into the space center, trying to steal a new engine design. You have to meet Kim at the front entrance to the mall to pick her up!”

“Thanks Wade, I’m on my way! Thank you so much!”

“Umm… sure Ron… no problem!”

Ron pocketed the Kimmunicator quickly, as he turned to his Dad, backing away quickly. “Sorry Dad, we’ll have to continue this later, world to save and all that! Glad we had this talk, and… um… bye!”

Ron dashed through the door, hopped on his scooter, and took off before his father could even move. Gerald Stoppable just shook his head.

At least he handled it better this time!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kim was surprised to find Ron waiting for her when she got out of the mall.

Ron must have used the rockets to get here this fast! He’s not usually this quick.

Kim put her helmet on, seating herself behind him on the bike, wrapping her arms around his waist. She noticed he looked a bit shaken.

“You have no idea how glad I am this came up!”

“Ron, what happened?”

Ron just revved the engine, not looking back. “Let’s just say that if one more parent wants to “talk”, I’m jumping out the nearest window!”

He pulled away before she had a chance to respond.

The ride was uneventful, even if at high speed. Kim just enjoyed the feel of holding Ron, hanging on tight. They had done this so many times in the past, but she had never enjoyed it as much as she was now. She was disappointed when they finally arrived, and she had to let go.

As she got off the bike, she pulled out the Kimmunicator, and saw Wade working furiously.

“Hey Wade, tell me you’ve got Ed on the security cameras?”

Wade just smiled. “Yup, and I don’t think he’s having a good time. I don’t think he realized just how big the engine was. He’s trying to load it onto a dolly now, so you should be able to just walk in on him!”

Kim looked up at Ron and smiled. “This is going to be easy compared to Friday!”

The two walked right in the front door. Kim slipped her hand into his, holding the Kimmunicator in the other. “So where is he?”

“He’s in the testing lab, down the hall and to the right.”

“Police on their way?”

“Yup, they’ll be there in three minutes!”

“Thanks Wade. We’ll give a call when we have him.”

The pair smiled as the walked down the hall, expecting this to be a breeze. When they opened the door to the lab, they saw him, working desperately to get the engine onto the wheeled cart, using a number of chains to try and place it squarely.

“Alright Ed, time for you to go back to that comfy little cell!”

He whirled around, turning to face them, shock evident on his face. “Red! And blond dude! Seriously, how’d you find me?”

Ron just chuckled. “Dude, there are security cameras all over the place!”

He looked up, wincing when he saw them. “Well, there is no way you two are stopping me. Seriously!”

Ron reached into his pocket, pulling his little pink friend out. “Hey buddy, think you can lock down the doors?”

Rufus yawned briefly, looked around and nodded. Before Ed could react, he ran to the right side of the room, hitting a button quickly. The door slammed shut behind the two teens, and Ed began to worry.

“No way out now Ed. Are you going to come quietly?”

Ed glanced left and right, looking at the two as they split up on either side of him. The look of concern soon turned into a smile.

“You little dudes think you have me? More like I seriously have you!”

He pushed a button on the engine, and they heard it power up. Ron glanced quickly to Kim, noticing where the end of the engine was pointing.

“KP, look out!”

He watched her dive as a gush of flame shot from the back of the engine, enveloping the area where Ron had last seen her!

“KP!”

Motor Ed just laughed. “Flash friend super hero. Seriously!”
