Chapter 10 of the 16th KP Fannies - Prelude
Chapter 10 – How It Began, Part III
On the morning of March 11, 2021, Kim and Ron Possible-Stoppable were sleeping peacefully in their bed. The alarm went off promptly at 7:00am and Kim woke up and waited nearly thirty seconds before pressing the snooze button as she watched her husband sleep.
"You really can sleep through anything, can't you?" Kim mused. "Ron?"
There was no response.
Kim nudged his shoulder repeatedly. "Ron, wake up!"
Ron gasped as he jerked awake and fell out of the bed before getting up on his feet.
"KPS, I was dreaming of running through a field of nacos!" Ron groaned. "Why did you have to ruin it?"
Kim crossed her arms. "Because I need you to cook breakfast so we can get ready for Justin's birthday at JP Bearymore's this afternoon. Now, I'm gonna go shower and get dressed. Can you have breakfast ready by then?"
Ron nodded as he stretched and yawned. "Okay, KPS."
"Oh, and since Monique also has the day off, we're gonna go shopping together at Middleton Mall after the party," Kim added.
"I'm still surprised that the mall has stayed open with so many of the outlets closed, since most people shop online now. Especially in the last few months."
With that, Ron donned his robe and walked out of the bedroom to cook breakfast while Kim made her way to the shower, considering her husband's comment about the mall.
Later that day, the Possible-Stoppable family arrived at the parking lot of J.P. Bearymore's Pizza Party-torium. The family were all smiles and laughter as they approached the restaurant, but that ceased when Ron pulled on the door handle and the door didn't budge.
"It's locked," Ron said. The family's eyes fell in unison upon the large 'CLOSED' sign.
"That's weird," Kim commented.
Ron pulled out his cellphone. "I'll call Urso Bearymore Jr. and hear what he has to say."
"You have his number?" Kim asked in disbelief.
"I do," Ron said as he dialed some numbers. "Ever since this became Justin and Alexa's favorite place to eat!"
"Hey, Ron, how's my number one customer?" the voice on the other end of the phone asked.
"Mr. Bearymore?" Ron asked. "My son's birthday is today and my wife and I were planning on having it at the Pizza Party-torium. But it's closed when the hours say it should be open."
Bearymore sighed. "The Colorado state government ordered all non-essential businesses to close down as a result of the TEVID Pandemic. As well as word from Washington!"
"What?" Ron asked.
"How do you not know? Some idiot allowed some virus to escape from a lab and it spread across the globe," Bearymore replied. "Governments worldwide have ordered non-essential businesses to close down. The essential businesses are required to have people wear masks and all people must stay six feet apart from each other, no matter the circumstance. Ron…you work for Global Justice, how do I know more about this than you?"
Ron sighed. "Never-mind, I understand. Okay. Bye."
Just as Ron hung up his cellphone, Justin tugged his pants. "Daddy, is everything okay?"
Ron looked down at Justin. "Oh yeah, everything's fine, sport!"
"That can't be good," Alexa commented, shaking her head.
Ron turned to Alexa. "What makes you say that?"
Kim spoke up. "Ron, we can tell something's wrong. So, spill."
Ron hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Okay, that silly virus that everyone is blowing out of proportion has spread worldwide and governments have shut down all businesses that are considered nonessential. Not to mention that we have to wear masks and stay six feet away from people."
"Ah!" Justin gasped as he jumped a short distance from Ron.
Kim turned to Justin. "Justin, you don't have to stay clear of your family."
Justin sighed as he walked back up to Ron. "Sorry, Daddy."
"It's okay," Ron assured.
"Not really," Justin said in a neutral tone. He sniffled as his eyes grew moist. "Now, my birthday's ruined!"
Kim leaned down to hug her son. "Justin, it's not the end of the world."
"Yeah," Ron agreed. "We can still celebrate your birthday at home."
The child was the opposite of encouraged. He took a deep breath.
"Oh no," Kim said.
Justin then let out an earth-shattering scream, louder than his tiny lungs would seem to allow. Kim, Ron, and Alexa covered their ears, as a small crack appeared in the window front of the pizza place.
"Ron, you know that Justin does not like celebrating birthdays at our place!" Kim said with a groan. "Did you forget the fourth birthday party incident?!"
"The one with the presents on fire?! Yes, I remember it!" Ron replied with his voice raised over the scream, still covering his ears.
Kim rubbed their son's back, and it wasn't too long before Justin finished his impossibly loud wailing. Ron looked at the cracked windows of J.P. Bearymore's.
"I hope insurance will cover the damages," Ron said, pointing to the crack. When the family walked back to the old Possible minivan (a gift from Kim's parents) they noticed telltale signs of cracks in those windows as well.
"Wait a minute!" Kim gasped, her subconscious catching up with what Ron had reported. "My mall date with Monique!"
Kim got her smart phone from her purse and called her friend.
Monique Hall, who had pursued the fashion industry, worked as the head of all of Club Banana's online retail and was on the board of directors. She had married Jamarcus Hall, the former star wide receiver of the MHS championship football team back in 2006 and who rose to district attorney for Jefferson County. The wealthy, but down to earth socialite, answered the phone on the first ring.
"Hey, girl! Did you get the bad news?" Monique exclaimed.
"Wait...please don't tell me..." Kim gasped on the other end.
"Sorry, Kim! Mall date has been shot down," Monique announced. "Colorado governor said that all malls across the state must close down to stop the spread of TEVID-20!"
Kim gasped. On the first day in ages they were both free, this had to come up.
"Okay, Monique," Kim said with a nod. "I've got a feeling I've…gotta go... Bye."
"Bye," Monique said before hanging up.
Kim thought to herself that the gold hoop earrings, gold chain around her neck, and wristwatch that she'd dressed up her overalls with (one strap down, of course) for the shopping date were a bit pointless now.
Ron cleared his throat. "So…I think we should just go to Smarty Mart and try to pick up some birthday supplies?"
"Yeah," Kim agreed, her mind falling to her work and wondering why Global Justice hadn't been ahead of informing them on the goings on in the world. "At least something is better than nothing."
The family headed back to the van, and for the first time noticed the sparsity of cars in the parking lot.
"Worst birthday ever," Justin groaned as he and the family climbed into the van and drove off.
The Smarty Mart parking lot, in contrast, was packed with cars and people were pushing heavily laden carts out of the store in seemingly greater numbers than Black Friday sales and Christmastime.
It only took a few minutes inside the big box store to see that the biggest of the crowd was in the paper goods aisle.
"Okay, why are people suddenly in a rush to buy toilet paper?" Kim asked.
"Maybe they all want to T.P. Barkin's house?" Ron said jokingly.
Kim glared at her husband
"What?" Ron asked, with a mischievous grin. "I'd do it."
The family paused and peered down the aisle with shockingly empty shelves, noting the carts piled high with toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues, and Kim cringed when she thought she saw two people fighting over one of the giant bulk packages.
"Seriously, what is the sitch?" Kim asked aloud.
"The virus is the sitch, Possible!" Came a familiar male voice.
The family turned to see none other than Mr. Barkin with an exhausted look on his face and his clothes heavily rumpled.
"Mr. B.?" Ron gasped.
"What happened to you?" Kim asked.
"I was mugged while trying to restock the toilet paper! As you can see, it's our most popular item lately…" Barkin groaned.
"Why are customers obsessed with buying toilet paper?" Ron asked.
"I think it's safe to say they won't be using it to T.P. my house!" Barkin said, giving Ron a knowing look. "I gotta get back to the stock room…and hide," he said, the latter under his breath.
Their former teacher stalked away grumpily, and the two parents looked at each other in shock.
"So what he's saying is that we're going to have to resort to using leaves as toilet paper?" Ron asked with a grimace.
"No, Ron, things can't be that dire," Kim replied, getting out the old model of the Kimmunicator. "I'm going to get to the bottom of this with Wade."
With the push of a button, Wade came onscreen. "Hey, Kim. I was about to call you. I'm sure you're finding out about the toilet paper goods."
"Yeah. Apparently the Smarty Mart here in Middleton has been wiped clean," Kim groaned. "Well...not literally, but..."
"KPS! You made a T.P. joke!" Ron pointed out with a proud giggle.
"It's not just Smarty Mart, Kim," Wade explained. "It's all over the globe! Paper products, cleaning products, and even water shortages are starting everywhere even since before the stay-at-home orders!"
"Wait...stay-at-home orders?" Kim asked.
"Yeah," Wade continued. "This just came hot off the press from Global Justice!" He uploaded a PDF document to the Kimmunicator.
Kim narrowed her eyes as she read and then gasped.
"It says that we have to work from home for the next three weeks starting tomorrow?" she exclaimed.
"I'm afraid so, Kim," Wade said as his face appeared back on the screen. "Which isn't a problem for me, but…well for a field agent like you two… I'll keep you updated."
After the screen went black, Ron thought of something and whispered. "KPS, I know where we can get some T.P."
"Where, and why are you whispering?" Kim asked.
"I don't want anyone else to know that the Middleton Bueno Nacho has a lot of it," Ron replied. "After all the years we've been going there, they've never once had a shortage. I've seen their stock room."
"Daddy, why are we whispering?" Alexa asked, tugging on her father's sleeve.
Kim crossed her arms, both parents ignoring the child for the moment.
"Ron, I don't think it's a good idea to get T.P. from a fast-food restaurant."
"Well, where else are we going to get some?" Ron asked. "And like you said, we aren't going to use leaves."
Kim sighed. "Fine, we can go ask them."
"Booyah!"
Ron walked out of Bueno Nacho to where Kim and the kids waited in the van, his face pale. It took only two minutes to discover, to Ron's shock and dismay, that there was no toilet paper in the Bueno Nacho bathrooms.
"Even Bueno Nacho is out of T.P.?" Kim asked in surprise.
"They even took the one-ply ones..." Ron muttered, taking a seat on the car's hood.
Kim glanced back at the kids playing with their toys in the back seat, and then quietly got out of the van to sit next to her husband.
"Man…this tanks!" Ron grumbled, kicking a small pebble on the asphalt.
"And I think it just got worse..." A familiar nasal voice sighed.
They looked up from the vacant lot to see their old friend Ned, now the manager of the local fast-food favorite, locking the restaurant's doors, the lights having been turned out. The man turned to face them with a solemn expression.
"How worse?" Ron asked. "And how long will Bueno Nacho be closed for?"
"The dining room at this Bueno Nacho will be closed indefinitely because of the pandemic," Ned announced.
"Pandemic?" Kim questioned the word, thinking back to the document Wade had sent her.
"Along with almost every other Bueno Nacho on the planet," Ned finished, resigned.
Ron took a deep breath.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His scream rivaled his son's as the glass of the light in the lamp post above cracked.

Kim: Don't say it-- Monique: Boy if you don't buckle down, you'll end up at Bueno Nacho for the rest of your life! Ron: The rest of my life? Did you hear that Rufus? Monique: Wait-- Ron: I mean, that was already the plan, but tell me more. Kim: *sigh*

KBH RANDOM RANT
I'M BACK... at least I try to post more often. Streams will also come more regularly (surely...).
I'm slowly getting back to work so my time is still very limited. I thought this was a good time to bring back my random rants about fandoms since I just revisited an old classic from my childhood.
Tumblr media
YEP we're talking about Kim Possible one of the most ludicrous fictional universes I've ever seen... In a good way!
First up: This show is FUDGING 22 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR... I'm really getting old...
The funny part about that is it was made during the peak of the 2000s... and you really notice that. The language that most teenagers use in this show is so stereotypical for that time it feels so nostalgic even watching it XD
Anyway, let's get the obvious out of the way. I know this is supposed to be a kids cartoon and I know that I'm an adult man but that doesn't stop me from watching it.
So, why is this show so great?
Good question! Its primary charm probably comes from its simple comedic attitude of telling a story.
The characters are so ridiculous that you should never be able to take this show seriously simply because most of their actions or the situations around them don't even make sense. This show just requires you to take in its vibe and go with the flow. I mean... a teenager knowing 16 forms of Kung Fu and saving the world on any given occasion is nothing that can possibly make sense. Don't forget: "Anything's possible for a Possible!"
Let's get into the characters:
Tumblr media
Kim is your basic teenage girl, and she's here to save the world. You can't stop her 'cause...
Okay I'll stop xD
Apart from her being an ass-kicking girl boss, her main character traits are kinda the things you expect from a main character. She saves the world out of sheer will to stick to her morals. In short: she wants to help people. That obviously doesn't always work out and she sometimes ends up judging people by what they are instead of who they are. On top of that, she gets jealous easily.
BUT she is brave, smart, and makes usually good choices in the heat of the moment (except when it comes to love xD), and is otherwise very mature for her age.
Well... the opening song didn't lie. She really is your basic teenage girl. That doesn't mean she isn't cool xD
Tumblr media
Well, obviously I can't end it without talking about the man and his very smart and hungry naked little friend.
What makes this show so funny is well... its ability to deliver comedy simply by a character existing and Ron Stoppable plays a big part in that.
He is pretty much a normal guy who just happens to be Kim's childhood friend and later somehow steals her heart xD
He is an absolute doofus. He is silly and rarely takes anything seriously. He is also lazy and loves his favorite junk food joint Bueno Nacho.
Despite all that he still cares for his friends, his naked mole rat Rufus, and usually learns a very important lesson after an episode.
He accompanies Kim on pretty much every mission and is usually more of a hindrance than a help. Despite all that Kim still loves him in her own way. And he also saves the day a couple of times, so it's not like he is a complete slob.
Rufus is just the cherry on top. Both of these guys are hilarious and I was honestly surprised by how much I laughed watching this show.
Tumblr media
I could go on and on but I'm gonna try to finish up this post here before it gets too long xD
Even though every episode has kind of a similar structure, it never gets boring. The villains, the side characters... all of them add something very unique to the table. You just throw some characters together and boom the story kind of writes itself XD
Season 4 was my absolute favorite part of the show since guess what ... that was when Kim and Ron started dating and BOY DO THEY MAKE A CUTE COUPLE.
Ahem... anyways. I do not regret watching all 87 episodes in the last 2-3 weeks. If you're looking for a comfortable. goofy and funny way to escape reality for a moment I can only recommend this old classic.

Ron Deserved Better
Ron deserved better, from a narrative standpoint. Ron was capable of being more than just Kim's sidekick, and it would've been great to have that emphasized more.
In "Tick-Tick-Tick" Ron is the one who comes up with the idea of using hot sauce to short out the tick and a straw to remove it.
In "Bueno Nacho" Ron figures out how to work the laser after messing around with it for less than a minute.
In "Attack of The Killer Bebes" Ron is the one who made the connection that Kim's dad was the next target, came up with the plan to protect him and find out who was behind it all, and made an extremely convincing disguise in less than a day.
(I know Kim wasn't aware of any of this because she wasn't around, but Kim walking off the mission because she was mad isn't a good look for a hero. However, that's not the point of this post.)
In "Sink or Swim" Ron displays stealth, cunning, quick-thinking, improvisation, resourcefulness, and bravery. Even Kim acknowledges this, but only this one time.
In "Animal Attraction" Ron figures out that getting Rufus to eat corn dogs would make him heavy enough to press the button to release them. Simple? Yes. Effective? Also, yes. And most importantly, a plan that Kim had failed to come up with on her own.
In "Royal Pain" Ron manages to use a mini golf prop to stop a bad guy, aimed in such a way that Prince Wally, who was being held in the bad guy's grip at the time, wasn't harmed.
In "The Twin Factor" Ron manages to not just evade Kim and Shego, but trick Shego into undoing his bindings and lasts against them long enough for Jim and Tim to finish their silicon-phase disruptor.
In "Job Unfair" Ron used sneezing powder on Drakken, which managed to take both Drakken and Shego out of the fight. Simple, effective, and clever.
In "Naked Genius" Ron's mangler was actually a fairly decent weapon, especially considering he was just throwing random things together. And his idea to use it against all the armor was brilliant.
In "The Fearless Ferret" Ron actually makes a decent hero at the end, despite the fact that his mentor was a delusional man.
In "Exchange" Ron manages to kick a tree, that then splits cleanly and falls over. That is not a normal amount of strength. He also manages to make his clothes disappear during Bo practice, which, though embarrassing, is also a bit of an impressive feat.
In "Hidden Talent" it's stated that Ron proved quantity was better than quality, but Ron was actually good at half of the acts he performed; tap dancing, ventriloquism, and water glasses.
In "Return to Wannaweep" Ron figures out how to use his new beaver-like mutation and his surroundings to defeat Gil, and figures it pretty quickly.
In "Partners" Ron and Monique manage to build a donut-launching system relatively quickly, and it proves extremely useful in distracting a mutant dinosaur.
In "Oh Boyz" Ron manages to help the Oh Boyz escape by having them use their dance moves to throw off the motion-detecting lasers. He also taught himself their dance moves just by watching them.
In "Triple S" Ron actually did a decent job of staying on the tray and holding the umbrella. I'm not surprised people thought it was a new sport; an average person doing that on accident wouldn't have been able to stay on it at all.
In "Bad Boy" Ron builds dangerous and powerful devices, and has the foresight to track the Kimmunicator's frequency. And the only thing he switched with Drakken was morality, not intelligence. Thus, it's reasonable to assume that Ron is extremely intelligent, he's just not trying.
In "Overdue" Ron goes on several missions alone to retrieve a library book.
In "Stop Team Go" even Shego acknowledges that Ron turning evil again is very bad. And he sends a bunch of Wegos flying through the air immediately afterwards.
And, of course, Ron's powers come into full bloom in "Graduation".
TLDR: Ron was capable of being more than a sidekick, a solo hero in his own right, and it would've been nice if the narrative hadn't treated him as Kim's inept and clumsy sidekick, even when he's being amazing.
Bonus: In defense of his clumsiness, and less than stellar grades, Ron mentions in "The Fearless Ferret" that he has "a slight stigmatism" but that his doctor says he shouldn't need corrective lenses. As someone who needed glasses at Ron's age, and someone who had astigmatism, I can say this; Ron's astigmatism may not be bad enough that he is legally classified as visually impaired, but even with slight astigmatism, it can still make things blurrier than they should be and mess up his ability to see detail, read, and screw with his depth perception.
In other words, Ron isn't horribly clumsy or stupid, he just can't see.

Ron Millionaire EP
Ofc Ron gets popular bc he became filthy rich. He bought happiness, but it can’t beat the happiness he already has (Kim and Rufus)
Bonnie being the gold digger wasn’t surprising at all, I respect the grind but I think it’s a bit too much when she KNOWS how mean she was to Ron for the longest time. She really took advantage of Ron being lured by the high of social popularity.
It was kind of cringe yet nice to see Ron acting all Mansa Musa in school. Well what else would he do with the insane amount of wealth he has as a highschooler? Maybe upgrade his wardrobe, buy all the games he wants.
That diamond is way too big for his pinky for sure.
Ron buying the jet and the squad for Kim lifted her opinions little about the money. Would she be happier if Ron bought gifts for her in the beginning instead of straight cash? Shego reacting to the squad was funny tho
There’s no way that Ron carried ALL that money in his pockets. But I guess that moment served as a transition to the parallel of Drakken recklessly spending money.
Now that last scene at Bueno Nacho, real smooth there, Ron. Only Kim and Rufus as his friends? What happened to Felix ಠ_ಠ

Idk if I'll get motivated enough to finish this but here's somewhat of an outline synopsis thing for another KP So the Drama rewrite but this time inverted :>
• Both mutter over how sappy the school is getting cuz of the prom. Kim's dropping hints and Ron's just jealous no one is paying attention to him (open your eyes dude!!)
• When Bonnie tries to bully her about going with Ron, Kim tells her it's better to go to prom with someone who actually cares than an on-off partner
• Kim's casually shopping with Ron when she notices a new ad for cuddle buddies. She gets excited (since there's no picture) but tries to hide it. Ron tells her it's ok to like the things she Iikes. She can't wait for them to come out!
• Wade calls about Killigan who's trying to get the Centurion project again. Kim and Ron go to him and manage to stop him, but someone (Eric?) swoops in, winks at them, and disappears after stealing it. Killigan is mad at them. "And ye call yerselves heroes?!" Wade tries to dig where it went and who took it, but to no avail.
• Kim's really trying to hint about going to prom with Ron, maybe not even hinting and blatantly talking about going, but he doesn't think much of it. Or seems like he doesn't at least. Not like they haven't gone before, even to date-like places like the wedding. "It might be a bit awk-weird but why wouldn't we go? We've gone to dances together before." (He's in denial, too scared to think of actually going with her. Thinks he shouldn't have hope of anything more. Also change is scary.)
• When Kim stops him to properly ask him about going (the mood is perfect for confessing at a quiet corner or smth) but then Piper appears and trips, dropping her stuff around. She has some nerdy stuff that grabs Ron's attention, and the three continue walking and two of them continue talking. Kim's immediately annoyed.
• They talk about her later. Ron's smug about Kim's jealousy over "his friend Piper", enjoying the attention
• Later Kim and Ron run into Piper at Bueno Nacho as well, and the two get into it again. Kim's very suspicious due to her jealousy, so she starts asking her questions, acting innocent. Her mom is a teacher, her dad has a radio show (but she never listens to it cuz he's embarrassing), she loves video games and comics and does some freelance coding/design to get money?
• Ron's impressed and Kim's even more annoyed. She later asks Wade to do a bg check on her, insisting she's not jealous. Wade doesn't believe her cuz of that, but agrees to do it anyway. Drakken asked Big Daddy for info on fake identity making people and they made her a small profile. She's from Europe? British?? (Piper cuz of Billie Piper lol, maybe Billie's her second name? Or even first but she goes by Piper?)
• Nothing suspicious at first glance so Wade just tells Kim she's overreacting again. She still keeps her eyes open and goes along with their nerdy plans for a while, trying to keep up and not lose him
• Some time later Piper meets them at school and obviously starts flirting with him. Again, he's enjoying the attention, but trying to explain to Kim that they're just friends. Piper counterfires and confesses then and there.
• Ron looks between the girls (who are glaring at each other) and runs away, yelling that he'll think about it. Cue epic monologue with Rufus.
• He's been over the unwritten rules, and he says that Piper seems like someone he could actually be himself with - down to earth, nerdy and chill. He did try to act cooler than he was at first (a habit with girls, it's gotten better but still), but she told him he's fine just as he is. Maybe he should go for it so he could get back to normal with Kim? He says that he does have feelings for her but it's just made things more awkward lately. He's doing this to get over Kim and back into the safety of the friend zone. Change is scary and he doesn't want to take the first step.
• And so Ron and Piper start dating. It's barely different from how they were (casual gaming and chilling and eating) but now there's more physical contact. Piper's all over him and it's making Kim sad instead of angry.
• To make things worse for her, the new Cuddle Buddies were revealed (she forgot due to Ron stuff), and 1. They're super ugly and 2. Merch of them will be sold at Club Banana. Kim dashes over to see necklaces, bracelets and rings with designs of these ugly creatures, and the store is getting filled with tweens, hipsters who love ugly stuff, and enthusiastic collectors who want every Cuddle Buddy thing ever. She's pushed out of the store. "This feels familiar", or smth.
• She's sulking with Monique at BN. Ron and Piper are there too, and the girls are giving them the side eye. They don't notice.
• Kim wonders if she should have taken the first step after all. Monique tells her she could have, but Ron taking it would've meant he's more ready for it. She reminds him of the moodulator stuff, which embarrasses and frustrates Kim. She wouldn't be as over the top when she's herself! Kim says that she's scared too. She's already been rejected once, after all, and everything's been a bit more awkward since then. There's tension. There's clearly something there.
• Then Kim starts ranting about the plushies and the merch and Monique's just as mad. She has to deal with the barrage of annoying customers every day after all.
• Meanwhile Piper's either feeding Ron or doing some stupid food stunts with him. Surprisingly, he's not that into it after a while. "Kim would try to stop me", but he immediately shakes the thought off and gets more into it and closer to her. He was supposed to get over her. Rufus is doing his thing and enjoying their new pal, but looks at Kim a bit sadly.
• At school Kim's giving space to Ron and his apparent new gf, so she hangs more with Monique. They do get called on a weird mission together as usual. Shego's been spotted at a local supermarket trying to grab every teen magazine there is. They stop her, but Drakken drops in and they escape. They work fine as usual, but Kim's a bit more snappy and distant? Ron's trying not to gravitate towards her, since he misses her a lot. He ends up teasing her and boasting?
• Another similar occurrence to the BN one happens when Ron and Piper are gaming and he laughs to himself about how Kim sucks at video games. He has to reprimand himself again. He's feeling guilty about missing their usual chill night. Meanwhile Kim's just at home, studying, reading or watching tv or smth. Lonely "Ron-night"?
• Later at school Wade calls Kim and tells her not to call Ron yet. He thinks Piper is sus after all. Kim tries to wave it off and let the two have fun, blaming everything on her jealousy, but Wade insists. He could not find her parents anywhere, no records on them. No radio show. Her record is miniscule as well. He hasn't dealt with fake identities that much but can recognise one. She's sus.
• Kim's conflicted. Happy that maybe things can still be fixed, sad that things have gotten this far. Should they look into it? Should they tell Ron? She asks Wade what they should do. He will do more digging for now.
• Prom night is approaching, and Kim's stressing out. She's sad she's gonna end up going dateless, sure, but she wonders how she should tell Ron something's off with his date without it sounding too jealous. She confronts him before he leaves in his dumb blue suit.
• He's a bit taken aback, yeah, and smugly comments that she seems jelly, but Wade beeps in, confirming Kim's suspicions. "Ok, cool. Now what?" They start throwing around ideas to figure out who or what she is and what's going on.
• Wade also brings up the Centurion project. It hasn't resurfaced since they first lost it, and Piper didn't seem to wear anything like it. When they think about what Drakken's doing, Kim points out the magazine stuff. Ron notes that he has no idea where she lives. Wade says that he's been tracking her (Ron raises an eyebrow at Kim at that), and that she disappears at the mall every day. They decide to follow her the next day. Kim's wondering why Ron's so fine with it all.
• They try to act normal at school, Ron's still dealing with Piper to the best of his acting ability, and after school they say their byes (she gives Ron a kiss on the cheek) and act like they're leaving only to hide and follow Piper. She goes to the mall, straight into Club Banana. Kim follows her in, but loses her in the crowd.
• "What if she just loves to shop or works there?' "She doesn't come out unless you ask her to or she has to go to school." "Oh."
• Wade says that while they were following her, he's been digging into CB stuff, and found out that Shego has somehow become the CEO/president or whatever. He finds a clip of the obviously mind controlled previous boss who's signing some papers in front of a snickering Shego. They get ready to meet the new boss. Kim gets out her yet to be tested battle suit.
• They're wondering about the evil plan, but that clears up as they drive past several children and some adults wearing Centurion-like battle armor. They're still unsure about what Piper's role is in this. Wade tells them that there must be some sort of a command signal since the armored people don't seem to be able to control themselves.
• They head over to the CB HQ, and are met with Shego, Drakken, some new goons and people wearing the armor. Kim recognizes one of the goons as the one who winked at them before. "Oh, you like this one? 901, get the girl!"
• Epic fight stuffs, Ron accidentally makes the armored people shoot the new goons, revealing that they're syntho-drones. Ew.
• Kim's asking for the usual villain monologue, and Drakken starts going. They just wanted to ruin everything she cares about, but she was too jealous and nosy and ruined everything too soon. He points at Eric, saying that they had one prepared for her, too. Both Kim and Ron are disgusted. Ron: "Piper's a syntho-drone??! Ew!!!" Kim: "I knew there was something off about her from the beginning!" Shego: "Just admit that you were jealous and how lucky it was that you ended up being right." Ron kinda looks at Kim hopefully, but she just shrugs somewhat casually, adrenaline covering her nerves. Not like Shego needs to know.
• More fighting, even Piper appears, and she and Eric start throwing punches at Kim and Ron. They manage to stop them, causing them to fall in top of each other. They look at each other in surprise, get up, move to hold hands, and leave. "That's why I was worried about the AI with these things, D." "Oh shut up." While that's going on Wade tells Ron to dig through Kim's backpack and he fishes out a USB killer, tosses it to Kim, and they run into what seems like the main office. She jams the stick in and the whole system goes down, which seemed to work on the armored people as well, based on Drakken's cursing. "I knew we should have gone with 901 instead!"
• Shego and Drakken are soon arrested, and Kim and Ron drive back quietly, until Kim asks why he wasn't devastated by Piper's "backstabbing". She would have been if she was in his shoes. "I did have fun with her, don't get me wrong, but... (leans forehead on her back?) it all made me constantly think of you instead. Heh, would have been real scummy of me if she wasn't a syntho thing." Kim's baffled, and when Ron doesn't elaborate, she determinedly drives back home. She tells him to go get ready for prom.
• They get there, awkwardly hold hands and are pushed onto the dance floor, and they continue their chat. "I was super jealous btw." "I noticed. Actually made me kinda happy, sorry." "Pffft. I'm sorry too. I was too scared to take the first step." "So was I, I never actually really took it." "Well, close enough." They do a silly dance move like a spin and/or a dip, and look at each other, giggling. Kim then gets more serious. "What would you have done if she was real?" Ron: "I could ask you the same, you were so green eyed they almost started to change colors." She just rolls her obviously natural green eyes affectionately as Ron places a hand on her cheek, leans in and they finally kiss.

Well, another day, another pic. This one came by way of a scene from one of my fanfics, entitled "The Possible Substitution Squad". After Kim, Ron and Max save Wade, Rufus, Monique, Felix and Zita from the Bebe bots and their new AI Queen, everyone falls back to Bueno Nacho for a well-deserved break. However, since Kim and Ron were interrupted in the middle of an all-night, globetrotting date to come to the rescue, they're still naturally in quite an amorous mood...which naturally leads to some affectionate displays. As you can see, they have a few onlookers taking in the moment as well. But it's not so much the kissing that's catching their attention as the continuous murmurs that are traded back and forth between Kim and Ron as their lips remain locked together. There's even a point in the middle of the kiss where Kim giggles... "Okay…were they ACTUALLY just making out and having a conversation at the same time," Felix asks. "Oh, probably," Max answers simply, being the only one who didn't bother to look. "Actually, I'm kind of impressed. Their lung capacity is excellent." I vaguely recall how this pic took way to long to complete at the time, but what can I say?  I dawdled. I spent too much time admiring my work at various stages...particularly going back to the Kim/Ron kiss as I was especially proud of how that turned out. Hopefully everyone else is just as pleased with it.^_^

Not Quite Anything
AO3: Not Quite Anything
“Ron, are you… jealous?”
Kim knew, almost the second the words left her mouth, that she’d made a mistake. Ron’s face, always expressive and open to her, cycled through confusion, frustration, shock and settled on hurt. Kim winced.
Still, a plot by Drakken using Bueno Nacho toys? Even for her arch-nemesis, it sounded kind of silly. Not that Kim could bring herself to dismiss Ron entirely out of hand, frantic as he’d been, but he was resistant to change, to put it mildly. And Bueno Nacho rated pretty highly on his list of favorite things.
“I mean”
“Well of course he’s jealous, K.”
Kim bit back a sigh of irritation at the interruption, turning to scowl at Bonnie. Miss Queen Bee sauntered over, smirking and looking extraordinarily catty, even for her.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t given your loser enough attention? ‘Kim, my disgusting nachos are different and the world’s ending!’ Please. He just feels neglected. It’s only natural to want what you can’t have, isn’t it?”
Kim practically saw red. Were she any less restrained, or any less practiced in the art of weathering hurricane Bonnie, she would have demonstrated all sixteen forms of kung fu she knew on the spot, dress or no dress. She glowered, hands fisted, finding her equilibrium again to keep herself from escalating to violence. She took a breath for a brutal, completely warranted, verbal stripping of Bonnie’s hide.
“Forget it.”
Ron’s voice, quiet and hollow and resigned, rang louder for Kim than anything else in the gym. She snapped her head around, heart clenching at his completely shuttered expression.
“Just forget it,” he said bitterly, shrugging. “Have fun with your date and your new bestie, Kimberly.”
Kim couldn’t have been more shocked if she’d been slapped in the face.
Frankly, she might have preferred that.
“What?” She said, breathless.
Ron Stoppable, her best friend, had just lumped her together with Bonnie Rockwaller.
Worse, with only the barest reflection on the past few minutes, she realized she deserved it.
The world stopped turning, gravity ceased its pull, and Kim’s voice failed her as Ron disappeared from the gym, from her life.
Okay, maybe she was being slightly dramatic. Ron had effectively just dismissed her, though. And referred to Bonnie as her ‘new best friend’ in the process.
Which was… just sick and wrong on all levels.
Someone said her name, but Kim, trying to remember how to breathe and moving on autopilot, only registered it as white noise. She grabbed her clutch, power walking toward the exit, ignoring everything else as superfluous. If she stayed, she risked either crying her eyes out or venting her heartache by maiming Bonnie.
The Queen Bee would only be a stand in for herself, though.
Since preschool, Kim had approached everything with the confidence her Dad’s advice gave her.
Anything’s possible for a Possible.
She hoped, more than ever, that he’d been right. She’d rather fight an army of Shego’s than leave things as they were.
“Kim.”
Eric’s hand caught her shoulder, gently turning her back to face him.
His touch didn’t feel quite as magical as it had when the night started.
“I’m sure he’ll be okay,” he said. He gestured to the other students, dancing again. “You only get one junior prom.”
Kim blinked at him.
She looked around the gym, at the strobe lights, the balloons and decorations, and the DJ. All the girls in dresses they’d spent weeks searching for, the guys in rented tuxes.
Kim blinked again, gaze focused on the snack table with the punch bowl. An image of a blond dork popped into her head, clad in a bow tie and all but guarding the ‘snackage', laughing at some inside joke with Felix, occasionally meeting eyes with her and waving.
She thought of Ron, his favorite gross greasy food, weirdly divine cooking and goofy grins, wearing cargo pants specifically for Rufus’ comfort. Because Ron just cared that much.
Kim looked back at Eric.
‘I only have one Ron.’
Was there any debate here?
She mumbled some sort of excuse, an explanation, a promise she’d be back soon–she honestly didn’t know. She might have just shrugged off his hand without saying anything. She hoped not, but she had to make things right.
Practically running by the time she reached the doors, she let out a sigh of relief on seeing Ron’s scooter still parked there. The blond was nowhere in sight though. After a moment’s thought, Kim ran for the school, and their lockers. She knew he’d tried–scratch that, had gone solo on missions before, and she had no reason to think he’d do any different if he thought… if he thought she didn’t believe him.
“Ron!”
She called for him before she’d even turned the last corner. He stood in front of his locker, already changed, jersey swapped out for his black top.
He slammed his locker shut, turning away without even looking at her, let alone saying anything.
“Ron, wait!”
Kim raced forward to snag his wrist, huffing from the brief sprint and anxiety at the thought of her apology devolving into a confrontation. They’d been best friends for twelve years, their shared history included plenty of arguments and apologies from both sides.
He’d never been this hurt or angry at her, before, though.
And, until now, she’d never tanked this hard.
She didn’t know what to expect.
“Shouldn’t do that. Someone might see,” Ron said. Kim, still bordering on desperate to fix her mistake, couldn’t follow his thought process. He shook the arm she held, his voice unusually thick. “Don’t want anyone to tell the Food Chain that you’re touching a loser.”
“Stop,” Kim snapped, anger spiking again at the mention of the school’s stupid hierarchy. She squeezed his wrist. “Just stop. You’re more important than the Food Chain.”
‘You’re more important, period.’
Ron still wouldn’t look at her. He raised his other arm to his face, passing his sleeve over his eyes.
Was he–
Sniff.
Great. Kim bit her lip, her own eyes misting. So much for not crying.
She couldn’t think of another time she’d felt so wretched. She’d all but accused her best friend of making up a global threat to get her attention. Because, what, he missed her? Envied all the time she spent with Eric? Wanted to ascend on the school’s social ladder?
Ron had proven, more than once, to be just as susceptible to jealousy as anybody, and he did, occasionally, covet the so-called perks of a higher standing in the Food Chain. He had, a few times, even expressed envy of Kim’s position in school. But while he could be rather vocal with his complaints about, well, anything, he had never once resented her for it. And he would never be so petty as to pretend…
Kim squeezed her eyes shut. Just thinking about what she’d implied made her nauseas.
“I’m sorry.”
Kim swallowed the lump in her throat, tugging at Ron’s wrist, urging him to just look at her. She was afraid of letting go, terrified that he might actually walk away, that he wouldn’t forgive her.
“I don’t know what I was thinking,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. If pressed, she’d plead temporary insanity. “I do trust you. I just…” she trailed off. She couldn’t offer an explanation she didn’t have. “I’m so sorry, Ron.”
Kim took a deep breath, eyes shut again to try keeping the tears at bay.
She felt something soft brush against her face.
She peeked.
Ron had finally looked at her, using his sleeve, tugged over his thumb, to gently dry her eyes.
Kim let go of his wrist, looking at him look at her. She knew there were half a dozen things to do. She had to call Wade, investigate the whole Drakken thing, ask about the Diablo toys, give Eric a more satisfying reason for leaving.
First, though–
“Are we… okay?”
Ron frowned, and Kim’s heart sank.
“No,” he said, and though he looked tweaked, she could read his expressions again, could hear life back in his voice. “Drakken corrupted the sanctity of Bueno Nacho and ruined it! Taking over the world is one thing, but he just made this personal, KP!”
‘KP.’
Kim smiled, even as she shifted into mission mode and pulled out her Kimmunicator. She knew she’d been forgiven, whether or not he’d said it in so many words. Still, even with immense relief washing over her, she found that her Dad’s advice didn’t provide quite the same comfort it usually did.
As she’d learned just minutes earlier, ‘anything’ included mistakes, even acting like a stuck-up shallow girl from Upperton.
And she could lose Ron just as well as she could keep him in her life.
“Wade, I need you to check something.”
Kim resolved she wouldn’t forget that.

The Return of Ron the Man (Part 1)
"There we go!" Ron Stoppable said as he slid the last egg into place, a wide grin breaking through the intense concentration. Leaning backwards he folded his arms, admiring with pride his latest creation. It was a towering mountain of food, with the base being a regular extra large Naco, but then piled high with bacon, sausage, eggs. All drizzled with syrup at the top, running down like maple lava rivers to the scattered base of French sticks. A culinary nightmare to some, but sweet, delicious madness to the blonde. 
Ron ignored the temptation to nibble on his masterpiece and picked it up, wobbling only slightly as he turned from the stove to the island counter. Walking quickly, he deposited the precariously leaning tower of cholesterol onto the counter before Rufus, his small naked mole rat. Not wanting to leave his best friend and pal out, Ron had permanently installed a small table on the counter with its own small chair, where Rufus currently sat excitedly chittering "Ooh boy CHEESE!" while wearing a small white napkin as a bib. 
"Here we go buddy! My world famous Bueno Nacho Naco Breakfast to tide us over until KP gets back." Ron said, moving to sit in his new favorite chair. After sitting down, Ron stuck his hands into the pile and pulled out a couple of chips covered in eggs, bacon, sausage bits, strings of cheese still connecting them to the rest of the mountain. The syrup had barely rolled off the mess in his hands before Ron had smashed them into his mouth, his eyes closing in joy as he slurped. Not needing to be asked twice, Rufus eagerly threw off his bib before diving headfirst into the nearest side of the pile, practically tunneling himself into the mountain. The duo were acting like starving coyotes going after a fresh meal. Which, to be honest, they were.
Starving, that is, and not being coyotes. 
You see, young Ron Stoppable and his pal Rufus had just spent the last several days refurbishing their new abode in a rush, just days before the upcoming fall semester began at Middleton Community College. When Ron had originally applied to the school a year after graduation, the dean had come to his parent's home in person to accept him, going off on how ecstatic the school was to have a prestige member of team Possible as one of their students and future alumni. This led to a full ride scholarship and flexibility with his teachers to accommodate his mission work with Kim and the best of on student housing. And for the first month of his freshman year, Ron had really eaten up the popularity, and his fellow classmates and teachers were in awe of his adventures. And the jocks and popular boys and the nerds were all in awe of the fact that he - Ron Stoppable- had bagged Kim Possible, the world's greatest action hero, as his girlfriend. 
But as the semester went on, the administration of MCC learned the hard way why the principal of Middleton High laughed himself into a fit when they called to receive Ron's records to process him as a student. Not even two months in and Magilligan had broken out of prison and had tried to take out the son of a rival clan during a school spirit day, only to learn that Ron attended the school. And after getting his behind handed to a monkey-fu powered Ron and sent back to prison, the Scotsman sang like a lark to all the villains about this development. 
So began a series of villain attacks on the university to see who would bring down their shared enemy and foe Kim Possible first by going after her achiles heel - the Dweeb. While the Dean had budgeted plenty for Ron's bottomless appetite, his infamous clumsiness, and the occasional rogue experiment from the science department (Dr. Drakken was also an alumnus), the school had not accounted for a global villain network declaring hunting season on Ron. 
Insurance rates and costs for repairs were already skyrocketing by November, because of Shego's personal motto of "if I can lift it, it's a projectile weapon". The school winter holidays festival had to be cancelled because of a resurrected evil snowman by the Seniors. And everyone refused to even talk about the anthropomorphic horrors D.N. Amy unleashed during Valentine's Day and she hadn't even come after Ron. During solitary, an artist site called Deviancyart had inspired her to recreate her own perfect anthropomorphic OC in real life to marry.
The young and mature male victims alone- Amy apparently didn't age discriminate at the university - kept the school counselors busy for weeks afterwards.
But while the administration was getting grey hair over the situation, the students loved having Ron and his popularity stayed pretty much the same. 
Then came the Gill incident in August. Not only was Ron's apartment destroyed in the toxic goo mess, he lost all three of his roommates in the same attack. But they didn't die! One ended up transforming and becoming Gil's hunky shark boyfriend that visits him regularly in prison. They saved another from transforming fully intime and he reverted, dropped out of college and became a famous environmentalist on MyTube. The last one needed extensive psychotherapy and still gets a panic attack when he even sees anything slimy.   
So for the safety of Ron and Rufus, the school moved them to the old groundskeeper and wood shop teacher's cabin, right on the outskirts of school grounds, right next to Middleton's only forest. 
"For your safety and no other reason at all!" the Dean had said quickly to Ron and his parents in his office just after the announcement, his now salt and pepper hair and goatee damp from the buckets of nervous sweat pouring off him from the glare Mrs. Stoppable was sending him. 
And when asked why Ron couldn't just stay in any of the on campus or even close to off campus housing since he was popular with the student body, the Dean had nervously stuttered out how many students current insurance didn't cover villain attacks that occur in private residencies - only public spaces and they didn't want to risk it. 
So, with that announcement, Ron and Rufus found themselves moved into a rustic cabin near the woods that needed a lot of TLC. When the dean had said rustic, he meant huntsman from Little Red Riding Hood rustic. The wood shop teacher had not only built the cabin himself, but he had custom-built all the furniture, including the queen sized bed in the master bedroom, to accommodate his partner and his much larger sizes. So not only did Ron have beds and couches that could fit two of him in - which made the couches great napping spots - but they were also custom decorated by the groundskeeper, who liked to hunt. That meant Ron and Kim walking into the master bedroom and them screaming in terror at seeing a fully stuffed bear - completely with head in a death roar - staring at them from atop the massive bed.  
Furs covered all the furniture in the housing from the bed to the couches while the mounted heads and antlers of several prizes dotted the walls wherever the room was available. They had used several pairs of antlers to create lamps, seasoning shelves in the kitchen, and even bath-towel racks in both the guest and master bedroom. All of which Kim, Monique, Mrs. Stoppable and Mrs. Possible all had to go. Which then led to a vote, which was won by the boys. On the condition, however, that their partners could hold veto power over anything that was truly hideous. 
Which led to the ladies watching with Rufus, sunglasses on and sipping lemonades, while the boys showed them things and they vetoed them, having the dejected man taking the thing to the storage truck to send it all to the owner's new home.
It took several days of painting, moving in new coverings for the bed and couches, and patching some leaks in the roof. Yet as Ron looked around at their new living space in the light of day, he could see how much they'd transformed the place. While the kitchen remained "charmingly" rustic with hardwood and oak shelves, the living area was a contrast in relaxing modernity with soft plush grey couches and armchairs circling a coffee table. Directly in front of the coffee table was a fireplace and above that, a nice large-screen television, perfect for movies and gaming. From the living room came the entryway, that was lined with some of Ron's favorite movie posters and a shelf for shoes next to the front door. Everything created a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
"Spekingh off relaxcingh" Ron said loudly to catch Rufus' attention, his mouth full of naco. Rufus peeked his head out of his gooey tunnel, cheeks stuffed, as he looked up at Ron in curiosity. Ron swallowed before giving a belch. "Whoops! Sorry, buddy. Anyway, since we have time to kill before KP gets here in the car, want to play Super Crash Bros after breakfast?" 
Rufus excitedly nodded his head and chittered, slobber flying from his full cheeks. Ron laughed, taking that for an enthusiastic yes before returning to help demolish the rest of the mountain that was now only a small hill. Yep, Ron thought gleefully, this was the life. He couldn't wait to finish and race with his best bud and once again absolutely cream his cousin Todd online. He had a nice place to stay. His parents and he had set everything up for school in a few days. Kim and he were going strong. Everything was finally going his way. 
Which is right when the doorbell rang. Ron turned towards the door, cheeks bulging with food. He swallowed, then stood up, stretching his tight muscles as he did. "Oh geez! I'm getting old buddy and I don't like it. But it's so early for the mail woman to be coming by." He said with a frown. Then Ron shrugged. "Ah well. It doesn't matter, anyway. It's not like it's going to be something life changing or mind-blowing." Ron laughed, walking down to the entryway.  
Little did Ron realize how soon he would quickly eat those words- among other things. For as his hand went to open the door, missing the dark silhouette that blocked all light from entering the glass window, Ron would soon receive something that would change not only his own life. But the entire trajectory of his world and universe as they knew it. But we're getting far ahead of ourselves. 
Completely oblivious to the dark silhouette, Ron's hand paused on the doorknob as a thought struck him. "What if KP came back because she didn't get our normal goodbye kiss?!" he said, eyes widening in shock. Quickly, that shock faded as a cocky expression replaced it, a smirk crinkling his eyes as he chuckled. "But who am I to not give my girlfriend what she wants?" Still chuckling and shaking his head, Ron opened the door. "Kim, Kim, Kim. If you wanted a goodbye kiss, all you had to do was ask! But that's okay. I'm more than happy to oblige, my lady." He said, eyes closed. 
Ron puckered his lips and leaned forward, eager to kiss his girlfriend. 
Silence greeted him.  
Then a deep, bassy chuckle shattered the silence. "Normally I wouldn't kiss on the job. But I'd make an exception, cutie." 
Ron's eyes snapped open. "Huh? Who said- AGHAHAHA!" Ron screamed, his hands coming up to his chest as terror and shock filled him as he stared at the massive behemoth standing in front of him. He had to be the biggest man he'd ever seen in real life- and he'd fought a guy possessed by the spirit of Anubis, a turned evil Hego, and a genetically modified Drakken from the future. 
(The last one, Ron and Kim still weren't sure if that had really happened or not. Gotta love those time travel loopholes!) 
Anyway, back to the hunk of man towering above Ron's blonde head by several feet. The man wore an expensive, obviously custom tailored black suit over a white undershirt, black dress pants stretched across spread sequoia-thick thighs. Resting right above both tree trunks was a massive gut, a thick round sphere of pure muscle sheathed in the fabric of the black suit. A pair of titanic pecs rose above the man's core, each slab square and tightly packed against the other, wrestling for space between the straining confines of the man's clothing. The visible buttons on his chest were valiantly holding on for dear life, patches of midnight dark skin and coily black hairs as thick as a forest visible within. 
The barn door sized width of his lats and back also pushed against the sides of his clothing, yet still stressing the man's form, giving him an almost X shape. Ron's eyes couldn't help but dart from the man's boulder shoulders down to the dense muscle threatening to burst through the seams of the suit's sleeves. Round watermelon biceps pressed for space against his monstrous lats and pecs, pushing the stranger's arms at an angle. Meaty forearms pulled his jacket and shirt cuffs tight away from his wrist and closer to his elbows, leaving an enormous expanse of vascular, hairy black skin visible before his hands disappeared into the pockets of his suit. 
But what truly drew the eye was the black bow tie perched at the bottom of the man's thick neck. Because there was no collar, possibly large enough to go around such an elephantine pillar of muscle. Thickly corded tendons flexed all along the length of the thickest, meatiest neck Ron had ever seen. A literal tree trunk of thick muscle seamlessly rose from boulder shoulders and traps to uphold the man's enormous head. Thick black stubble covered the bottom half of his smirking face and down his neck until it reached the large Adam's apple. Perched atop a broad, enormous nose sat a pair of almost dainty glasses through which two eyes the same shade as Monique's skin looked down at Ron, filled with warmth. A perfectly manicured yet bushy eyebrow rose, giving the man a playful and confident, yet not arrogant, expression. 
Like the ruling lion of a pride, looking down in fond amusement at a kitten. 
Just like a lion, a mane of wonderfully intricate interwoven braids framed his face. And as the man tilted his head to the side to better stare at the frozen Ron, the rest of his braids flowed from a knot down to his massive back, giving the man a ponytail woven from beautifully multicolor beaded braids. 
It was this beauty that robbed Ron of thought, paralyzing him speechless, the fear rapidly draining from him to be replaced with awe. This ruggedly masculine man, the epitome of masculinity, was also the most beautiful human being he'd ever encountered. Even thoughts of Kim's beauty fled from his mind as it struggled to comprehend the being before it. How a person could not only be so enormous and muscular, yet be so captivatingly gorgeous and ethereal at the same time. If Ron didn't know better, he'd think the man before him was some sort of angel or demigod. 
The man chuckled, a deep rumble rising from his chest. "Leaves you kind of speechless, don't it?" His voice was like a river of caramel, smooth and deep and just as strong and commanding of attention. 
Ron could only nod, mouth agape and eyes wide. 
The man tilted his head to the left, amused as he eyed the boyish man before him. He truly was adorable -a skinny yet lithe body clothed in baggy, obviously comfy clothing. A fluffy blonde mop framed a round, brown-eyed face that looked young beyond its twenty years. The freckles didn't help either. He licked his lips, hunger rising sharply within him as he continued to eye Ron.  
Our Lord is right once again. He will truly be a delicious morsel in the upcoming feast. He thought, his mind flooding with the graphic visuals and visions his Lord had described for Their disciples. 
Filling the stirrings of a familiar warmth below the belt, the man quickly took his mind from the gutter to the task his Lord had given him. There would be time to indulge in such things much later. As well as the window was shrinking before a certain stick-in-the-mud sensed his presence. 
Getting back to the task at hand, the man gave Ron a megawatt smile, white teeth gleaming and bright against his skin. "I know these seem terribly rude, but could I come in for just a few minutes? I'm not from around here and not used to this summer heat." the man said, looking at Ron while he willed the young mortal to believe his words. And it was true - his feet were tired after walking around the entire campus, trying to find someone who knew where the blonde man's new housing was. 
Ron quickly shook himself, realizing how rude he was being leaving this man out in the sun like this. Being absolutely trusting, Ron quickly moved out of the doorway. "Of-of course. Let's go inside so you can cool down. The heat is brutal today!" He said, waving the man indoors. It didn't even occur to Ron that the man could've been an evil minion or someone sent to take him back to the enemy. All he saw was a large man in need of aid, and his aching heat quickly took over. 
"I'm Ron, by the way. It's nice to meet you." Ron said over his shoulder as he moved down the entryway, the enormous man following behind him. The stranger had to turn sideways and shuffle his way through the doorway before trailing behind the blonde, his wide shoulders brushing against the wall while his head was only a foot or so away from the eight foot tall ceilings.  
The man nodded. "Nice to meet you, Ron. My name is Mr. Cleido." He answered back as the pair entered the communal area of the home. The towering breakfast mountain was now only a pile of a few cheesy chips. Cradled on top of the pile, Rufus was rubbing his inflated stomach, chittering in contentment. Rufus looked up as Ron came into the kitchen, his small eyes widening and jaw dropping in shock at the beautiful black man coming up behind him. 
"Take a seat, man, and let me get you some water." Ron said, moving through the kitchen. He picked up Rufus, the rodent still speechless. Rufus turned his head to look at Ron, still dazed, and the blonde laughed. "Same here buddy." he whispered, popping the rotund rodent into shirt pocket while he returned to look for a clean glass.  
"Oh, I couldn't possibly inconvenience you anymore than I already am! Especially since it looks like I'm interrupting your breakfast as well." Mr. Cleido rumbled, looking at the couches and sofas around the coffee table. Picking the sturdiest one, he slowly lowered himself down, successfully not wincing at the groan of the springs. Or how the chair sunk deeper into the carpet.  
"Hey man you're not bothering me at all." Ron said, coming into the living room. In one hand he had a large coffee mug full of water, the other hand holding the last bit of his breakfast nacos. He placed them both on the coffee table, the nacos directly in the middle, while he sat on the large sofa next to Mr. Cleido. Once he saw his new guest was drinking, Ron went to town on the chips, popping some into his mouth. 
"Don't mean to dig or anything, but what's a guy like you doing wandering outside dressed like that?" Ron said around a mouthful of chips, vaguely gesturing to the bigger man's ensemble. "Were you trying to get a job on campus? OH! Are you a bodyguard? Did the school send you to be my bodyguard?! That would be so cool!" Ron said, throwing his arms up in the air in excitement. Though the blonde could more than take care of himself, having a bodyguard was seen as a status symbol of wealth or influence. 
And it would just make Ron's status on campus even better because he was so sought after by the villain underbelly and was such a threat, he needed protection twenty-four seven. Ron's mind raced, picturing how he and Mr. Cleido would become the best of friends after multiple attempts, flashing through various fanciful scenarios in their completely fictional friendship. He imagined the bodyguard sobbing as Ron and Kim were married, Ron stomping on the traditional cup in a Jewish wedding. Him becoming the godfather to their kids. 
He even imagined the day he'd grasp hands with the man who'd been his second best friend and secondary father to him for the last time, watching as in a hospital he took a deep rattling breath in his wizened form. 
While Ron's wild imagination zoomed through decades of a fictional relationship, Mr. Cleido finished his sip, meaty hand dwarfing the mug. Gently bringing it back down on the coffee table, the man gave another chuckle. "Getting into enough trouble to warrant a bodyguard, are we?" he teased. 
The man's words shattered Ron's daydream - Kim consoling him as they stared down at a ridiculously large grave - and caused the blonde to turn back to the present. Embarrassed, Ron rubbed the back of his head, cheeks flushing red. "Yeah, not necessarily. I'm not the one getting into trouble. It's just more that trouble seems to... find me." He said, not looking at Mr. Cleido. 
Mr. Cleido nodded. "And when it finds you, it gets everyone around you involved as well, I take it?" 
Ron looked back at the man, nodding repeatedly. "Exactly! It's not my fault the bad guys want a piece of me finally! They just keep coming for some reason and it's been very annoying! Specially since everyone but Drakken, Monkey Fist, and Gill keeps getting my name wrong." Ron huffed, folding his arms in frustration. He remembered how - just weeks before the Gill incident- Senior Senior Senior had called Ron every name under the sun that ended in "-on" except his actual name. Which was additionally insulting since he'd been the one to request him and Kim's services in the first place! 
Rufus gave his owner's arm a pat, returning Ron's mind again to the present. Ron quickly unfolded his arms, leaning forward towards the built man now with excitement. "But now that I have a bodyguard with me, they'll HAVE to take me seriously enough to remember my name! And it will improve my street cred even more, which would finally help me get into the frat parties, which are the best parties on campus!" Ron said, looking up at Mr. Cleido with joy in his eyes. 
Oh, you are such a cutie. Mr. Cleido thought. If this were a different mission, he'd have gladly gone along with the plan if it meant spending more time with the endearing, strange man before him. But even now, he could feel the window shrinking more.
 Plus, he knew the reward for fulfilling his Lord's will would be far sweeter and orgasmic than what the young man currently could ever reward him with. 
Mr. Cleido gave Ron an apologetic look. "While I'm very flattered, I am already employed." Seeing Ron wilt in disappointment and embarrassment, he hurried to continue. "Do you remember the Mr. Universe pageant you and Miss Possible saved at the beginning of this summer? The one with the international delegations competing which lost to Junior Junior Senior?" 
Ron looked back at the man, his disappointment at not getting a bodyguard fading away. Confused at the question, he answered slowly. "Yeah, I remember it. It's hard to forget those male beauty pageants. Especially when everyone's all slicked up and strutting their stuff in man bikinis." Ron said. 
Mr. Cleido's eyebrows rose at the statement. "Man biki-oh! Haha! They really are kinda of man bikinis!" he said. Throwing his head back, Mr. Cleido exploded with laughter. Ron and Rufus gasped as the power and strength of the giant's laugh shook everything in the room. Calming himself, Mr. Cleido continued to chuckle while he wiped a stray tear from his eye. "Ah, that was good! And male beauty pageants truly are the best way to describe those competitions. Hahaha. Can't wait to tell the others this one, especially Glōōdeal." he said. 
Still chuckling, the man continued. "But yes. The biggest sponsors of male beauty pageants as you were, especially the Mr. Universe one you saved, are the Male Muscle Growth Agency or the MMGA for short. I'm the personal attendant for the CEO. Think of me like his, um, head of staff." Mr. Cleido said, taking another sip of water. 
More confused now than ever, Ron spoke again. "So what brought you here, then?" he asked. Concern filled him, worried he'd accidentally offended the mysterious CEO in some way. "Did I tick him off? What did I break - oh gosh, what's it going to cost me? I'm a broke college kid. I don't have that much money to begin with!" Ron panicked, hands flying to his face. 
Mr. Cleido quickly put a comforting mitt on Ron's arm, his hand wrapping entirely around the limb. "You broke nothing of value at the venue Mr. A, my boss, won't be able to cover. And I'm not here to shake you down for money. In fact, they were so impressed and grateful, they wanted to show their appreciation through a gift. Which I currently have on my person." 
Releasing the blonde's arm, Mr. Cleido stood up, reaching into his suit pockets as he did so. Fiddling around for a moment, he gave a soft- for him- exclamation as he pulled out a package. Gesturing for Ron to open his hands, Mr. Cleido bent down to place the package in his hands while he explained. "The CEO of another company owed my employer a favor, and they cashed in. And while there is no money in the envelope - don't whine-" he said with a laugh as Ron pouted at the news,"- it is a letter better explaining the gift. Best to read it once I'm gone." Mr. Cleido finished, covering Ron's entire hand as he placed the package there.  
He truly wished he could stay for a little while longer - just to witness as the scrumptious twink tried on the gift his Lord and Master had given him. But he could feel the brief window was almost gone and that soon unwanted eyes would notice his presence in this universe.  
So filled with regret, Mr. Cleido drew back up to his full height. Pretending to look at a nonexistent watch, he acted shocked. "Would you look at the time? I must go if I'm to make it back to your campus on time to catch my ride back to work." 
"Oh for sure, let me just -" Ron said, putting the package down to stand up and escort his guest out like his mom would expect. Before he could fully stand up, though, a large hand came and gently pushed him back down, causing Ron and Rufus to fall backwards onto the couch. 
"Nonsense! I've already taken enough of your time and hospitality. I can see myself out. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintances." Mr. Cleido said, grabbing Ron's hand to give it a shake that rattled the young man. Properly disoriented, Mr. Cleido scooped back up the package as he walked by, placing it back in Ron's hand. As he elegantly moved past the blonde, he couldn't help but be coy. Right before he reached the entryway, he pretended to stop like he had forgotten something. 
"How unprofessional of me to forget!" Turning his head over his meaty neck, the man sent a stunning smile back to the rattled Ron. "My employer would prefer you to try on your gift in the mirror. You'll thank us later." Turning back around, his long and powerful legs carried him swiftly through the entryway and out the door. 
Ron quickly reoriented himself and stood up. "WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN-" 
The front door closed, cutting off his question to the mysterious man. 
"Try it on. Nevermind." Ron sighed, slumping slightly against the side of the sofa. He and Rufus exchanged looks. "I'd say that was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to us, but we've fought babies." Rufus nodded his head, chittering in agreement. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Ron quickly put the strange departure of Mr. Cleido to the back of his mind as he focused on the package he was still clutching.
Unfolding his hand, the duo saw it was a long rectangular box - like one would use to put like a necklace or jewelry in. Tethered to the box was a white envelope tied there by a golden ribbon. The envelope was very plain and unadorned - the only remarkable thing being there TO RON STOPPABLE printed in nondescript gold type right in the middle.  
Neither Ron nor Rufus knew what to make of the strange gift. "Huh. Wonder what could be in here?" Ron said, standing back up. He ambled back to his bedroom, distractedly unraveling the ribbon, while spitballing ideas to Rufus. "I know he said it wasn't money, but OH, what if it's like a sold gold chain?! I could sell that and get tons of dough for it!" He looked down at Rufus, who looked down at the box, then quickly shook his head. "Yeah, you're right. It would probably be a lot heavier even if it was a necklace. Gold's pretty heavy stuff. But he said to try it on..." Ron said, pausing in the doorway in his room. 
If it wasn't a solid gold chain, then what could it be? Was it like an experimental smart watch or necklace? One of those foldable VR headsets Wade had been rambling excitedly about? A collar with a virtual picture of me and Kim? Before he could think more about it, Ron felt a claw tapping on his neck. "Hmmm?" he said, looking down at Rufus. "What's up, little buddy?" Rufus pointed at the envelope in Ron's hand, chattering while miming opening the envelope.  
"Oh yeah, go for it, buddy. Here ya go- whoopsie daisy!" Ron said, handing the envelope to Rufus, only for the box to slide out of his hand. Fumbling quickly, he caught the box, embarrassed. "Oh, boy! That was a close one, hahaha." Ron laughed, lifting his hand to make sure he hadn't accidentally damaged the box.
 His laughter trailed off, however, as a familiar orange logo caught his eye. "Wait a minute - HenchCo.? HenchCo. made this?" Ron said, bringing the box closer to his face while Rufus was busy ripping open the envelope. 
Sure enough, his eyes weren't deceiving him. Right in the middle of the box, in bright orange letters, was the HENCHCO logo - the world's pre-eminent supplier of military and scientific hardware and henchmen to evil geniuses worldwide. They'd built the Molecular Transducer and the Attitudinator that had turned Ron evil and Drakken good that one time. They'd even accidentally turned Ron into an orange, hulking brute after he'd fallen into a vat of the experimental Titan Project. 
But none of those are wearable except- Ron thought, his eyes widening as the realization of what he was potentially holding struck him like lightning. Rufus let out a sharp squeak as Ron suddenly darted toward forwards, leading the rodent to hold tight to the letter in one hand while grabbing Ron's shoulder with another. "Waitaminute-waitaminute-waitaminute," Ron said repeatedly, excitement growing within him as he moved. Entering his large and spacious bedroom, Ron quickly made his way to the opposite end where, between his walk-in closet and the dresser beside his bed, stood a long full-length mirror. 
Bingo! Ron thought as he made his way closer to the mirror. Still excitedly chanting, he distractedly deposited Rufus onto the dresser alongside the box. "Waitaminute-waitaminute- wait. a. MINUTE! NO WAY!" Ron exclaimed, bouncing back a step. "Rufus, Mr. C. said I was supposed to look in a mirror while I tried it on, right?" He said, hands up and gesturing wildly. Rufus looked back at Ron and chittered in agreement, confused. 
"And that his boss had asked a certain CEO to make this for me as a gift. Which we now know because HenchCo made it, it means Jack Hench is that CEO, right?" Ron asked the rodent, lifting the box to showcase the label again. 
Rufus again chittered in agreement. "Mmhm mmh right mmhm mmhm?"  
Ron dropped the box back onto the dresser, nodding his head excitedly. The blonde was so excited he couldn't help but start pacing back and forth. "So Mr. C's boss had Jack Hench give us something wearable. And they make a lot of wearable stuff like the Tudeinator. But those could only fit in a hatbox and this is obviously not a hatbox. Nor could it be a tiara or crown - though that would look cool with my hair." Ron said, pausing as he thought of how majestic he'd look with a cool crown around his blonde hair and if Kim would like that. Quickly, he shook himself from that daydream and continued to pace as he rambled to his increasingly confused, concerned companion. 
"Nothing HenchCo makes could ever be small enough to fit in this box. Except one thing." Ron said, stopping with his back turned to the rodent. With a dramatic whirl, he spun to face Rufus, pointing at the rodent. "What is the one thing HenchCo has ever made that is small enough to wear and put in a box, buddy?" he asked, an excited grin on his face.  
Rufus scrunched his face, concentrating as he tried to think. What had Henchco ever made that was tiny, wearable, and fit in a box? The rodent's eyes widened, his tiny mouth opening in shock. He looked up at Ron and excitedly chittered back at him, "OH mgmmg mgmgm mgmgm!" while miming with his hands, like he was putting something on one of his fingers. 
Ron excitedly nodded his head again, bouncing now. "Exactly buddy! The only thing HenchCo has ever made that could fit in this box is-" Ron said, grabbing the box and lifting it between the duo. With an ungraceful yank, Ron pulled the top off with one hand while the other dove in and claimed his prize. And with a dramatic flourish, Ron pulled out the tiny item, dropping the box to the ground while, between two fingers, he held the gift. "A MOLECULAR MUSCLE ENHANCER RING BABY!" Ron crowed, throwing his head back as Rufus squealed in excitement. 
Indeed, held gingerly between Ron's average fingers, was an infamous molecular muscle enhancer ring. Or, as many henchmen, heroes, and civilians now called them on the street, an M.M.E. ring for short. Since Drakken's "acquisition" of them years ago, the M.M.E. ring had become one of HenchCo's most lucrative tech requested by villains and civilians alike. Appearing to be a simple golden twist ring, the powerful tech used powerful energies to manipulate the wearer's body down to the molecular level to give them considerable increases in height, muscle mass, and strength. And since the rings had hit both the public and villainous sectors, many sporting competitions had made rules outlawing their practice while certain sports - such as wrestling and MMA- actively encouraged the usage of the rings as it provided lucrative entertainment options.  
This had also led to a rise in catfishing on online dating apps, as many skinny men used the rings to create profiles to catch potential partners, only for their scheme to fall apart when the rings fell off their fingers. There actually was a hilarious reality TV show the Possible family and Ron watched where a woman with a camera crew went out to catch these dudes and expose them on air. Catfishing them and then, when they least expected it, yanking off the rings and watching them deflate into skinny dudes drowning in a puddle of clothes.
None of that was on Ron's mind as he held the ring, though. No, what was going through his mind was all the potential the ring could bring him. 
"Do you know what this means, Rufus?" He asked. Rufus shook his head. "It means I can finally not only physically keep up with Kim when we go on missions, but I could start seriously kicking bad guy's butt! Imagine me using my monkey powers while being all manly again. It would totally rock!" Ron said, eyes shut so he could picture it better.  
Him walking to class, now the size of one of the football players on campus. A bad guy coming - like Gill again - snarky. and confident until they saw the new manly Ron, mighty pecs filling his shirt, his hair spiking as he went into monkey mode. How easily his meaty fists, mystically powered, would easily subdue the threat before Kim and the police showed up. And, with a dirpy chuckle, he imagined how, while annoyed at him using the ring, that wouldn't stop Kim from giving him the best kisses in the world. 
Nodding, determination filled Ron as he clutched the ring tightly in his hand. "Yeah baby let’s do this!" he said. Ron moved from the dresser to stand before the full-length mirror. He looked down, opening his hand to look once more at the small ring. Ron then looked back at his reflection, taking it in for a moment.
He took in his boyish, freckled face, made younger by his shaggy blonde hair. How his jersey-turtleneck combo and cargo pants were baggy on his wiry frame. How his jersey was doing an excellent job to his small gut he had from all the fast food he ate and his monstrous metabolism couldn't rid him completely off. And while, unlike the first time, Ron was incredibly secure in his masculinity and his prowess, he was absolutely sick and tired of not being taken seriously as his girlfriend when he was just as strong and terrifying as she was.  
But the image staring back at him, combined with his average height, meant no one besides the Possible family - and lord Monkey Fist - rarely took him seriously. Hence why they called him The Dweeb.
"Not for long, though." Ron muttered, a cocky smirk blossoming on his face as he picked up the ring with his other hand. And with rising excitement, Ron placed the M.M.E. ring onto his right ring finger. And as his hand lifted, twisting the top part to the right, releasing a familiar series of flashing lights and chirps and whirs between the two bands. 
A faint warmth surrounded the ring on Ron’s finger while a shiver rippled throughout Ron’s body as the ring scanned and mapped his form, from the tips of his hair down to the ends of his toes swaddled in the plain cotton socks on his feet. As the ring scanned him, the microchips and processors whirred and flared as they moved to the default setting as established by HenchCo scientists. All of this occurring within microseconds, the ring completed its assessment and began the transformation of its wearer. 
From the ring, it issued a pulse of warmth. A gurgling sound dragged Ron’s attention from the ring to his chest. A tingle rose from the center of his chest, like pins and needles, but somehow deeper. It spread outwards, covering his chest. As he watched, his shirt billowed and undulated like boiling soup, while a gurgling sound emanated from deep within his chest. That faint warmth grew, along with a strange pressure rising, pressing forward against his undulating flesh. Then, with a mighty lurch, his meager chest surged forwards, swiftly swelling outwards and hardening, until Ron boasted a pair of massive pectorals.  
"Oh yeah!" Ron exclaimed, looking down at the brawny shelf extending from his chest. "I can't see past my pecs!" He said, barely able to see his socks wiggling beneath his heavier chest.  
Ron's right hand went to touch his pecs, wanting to cup and test their weight and softness. However, another pulse came from the ring, causing the pins and needles sensation accompanied by the warm energy to rise within his chest once again. The warm current of energy bulleted down from his shoulders through his arm, causing it to shoot out away from his body. As it stiffened, the energy rolled downwards, enlarging his entire arm to three times its normal size, the seams in his clothing nearly bursting trying to contain all the new mass. Once the energy hit Ron's hand, it ricocheted back up towards his shoulder, hardening and defining along the way. Ron's thin gamer hand was now thick with brawn, attached to a meaty forearm that wrestled for space with the now massive biceps and tricep filling the sleeve of Ron's jersey and turtleneck.  
Glancing at his enlarged limb, Ron couldn't help but bring it up for a flex, grinning wickedly at the sight of the clothed mountain peak the size of his head appearing in his vision. It was absolutely massive, brimming with power and strength that could easily lift a desk with a person sitting on it with ease. Ron looked absolutely ridiculous at this point, with a pair of massive muscle knockers pulling the front of his jersey down while having only the right arm of a bodybuilder. And flexing his arm led to the young man wobbling, his balance overthrown by the shifting weight. 
The ring had expected this, however, and it issued out two pulses, back to back. The warm energy collected in Ron's right shoulder surged forwards through Ron's upper back, causing him to drop the flex and twist to his right as the wave of transformative energy widened and broadened his shoulders until he now was as wide as two of his old self put together. His left arm then shot out to the side as the energy crashed over the limb, broadening and swelling it to be a mirror copy of the other arm.  
The pins and needles sensation faded from his arms as the energy now centered itself within his shoulders, specifically his traps. The energy swirled within his shoulders, spreading up through his neck. As Ron gasped at the sensation, he felt his neck pulse and puff up, thickening and swelling, until his head rested upon a thick column of sinewy muscle. The energy swirled downwards, broadening his traps until they were three times their original size. Complete with that, the ring then directed the wave of transformative energy down the rest of Ron's back, which was still so skinny that you could see his spine if he took his shirt off. 
The ring loved nothing more than a challenge, however, and it pushed the energy down the man's back in a cascade. As the energy swept down his spine, Ron's clothes filled out as non-existent muscles emerged and wrestled for space. Soon a mountain range of veiny, chiseled muscle pulled Ron's jersey skin tight against his body. It was so tightly pulled that the planes and ridges of Ron's now Mr. Barkin wide back imprinted themselves against the fabric like a car map. Flaring out from his sides were winglike lats, corded sinew that flared with every breath from Ron's now much bigger chest and lungs and flowed downwards to his equally muscular lower back.  
And as Ron breathed, the energy within his lower back crawled forwards and spread across his core. With a deep inhale, his stomach ballooned outwards several times its normal size, gurgling and bubbling just like his chest did in the beginning of his transformation. When he exhaled, the bubbling mass rapidly changed and continued to shrink until even the regular belly he had before was gone and Ron's shirt billowed over an impossibly skinny waist. But with the next inhalation, it swelled with sinew and growth, definition appearing on the expanding muscle until, with a deep exhale, the front of his shirt now rested against a defined eight pack. Thanks to his much bigger upper body, Ron's jersey and turtleneck pulled close enough that the wall of abs were clearly visible, the definition and sharpness visible even through his jersey. 
Pins and needles now rushed from his abs into his lower body, cascading towards and filling his toes. Once the energy filled his toes, the ring issued another pulsed and Ron's toes flexed. As his toes flexed, all of Ron's limbs expanded and lengthened, sending the blonde up several inches in height. Once his height had increased, the energy went into overdrive. The socks covering Ron's feet shivered and twitched, his toes and feet broadening and swelling until, with a series of loud SHRIIPS & RIIPS, his much bigger feet shredded through them.  
The energy then rolled up from his ankles through his calves, flooding them with energy as they became thicker and broader, swelling into baseball sized diamonds of muscle. The energy rose higher, pouring into the rest of his legs. His thighs quickly packed on several pounds, swelling and thickening the once skinny runner's legs into powerful teardrop trunks of strength and brawn. They were so thick and swollen with brawn that they shoved against one another until, with another pulse from the ring, they grew too big and pushed against the other, giving Ron now a much wider gait, almost a waddle. 
Looking into the mirror, Ron couldn't help himself as a smirk rose on his face. He looked like an actual professional bodybuilder. A thick barrel chest wrestled for space against his massive biceps, framed by broad shoulders and winglike lats. His back was so girthy and large, he knew he would have to walk sideways through most doorways from now on - he just wouldn't fit through them like normal anymore. He put his hands on his chest and flexed, his muscles flaring against his shirt. 
"Yeah baby!" he said as his chiseled waist became visible again through his jersey. 
"Look at me Rufus! I'm hot!" Ron said excitedly, now twisting his legs back and forth. He couldn't help but admire how his once baggy cargo pants were now so tight, the striations and planes of his thighs straining against their fabric prison. And while all his clothes were tighter now on him, it wasn't uncomfortable. And he had the designers of the ring to thank for that, as its original programming kept Ron's body from growing to the point, it shredded his clothes.  
As long as the designers of said clothing had designed the clothes to not require a certain muscle group to not be above certain dimensions. Such as the gluteus muscles and hips for the seat of their pants, for instance. 
"Boo-yeah!" Ron said, bringing up both arms into a double bicep pose. Rufus whistled and cheered, letter all but forgotten as he clapped as he looked up at his much bigger owner. Ron was now truly a sight to behold - absolutely massive, as big if not a smidge bigger than Mr. Barkin or even Junior. And Ron relished the strength he felt packed within his body, the power that normally lay dormant deep within now coursing just below the surface. Almost as if his powers had just been waiting for his physical body to match them with might and strength. Ron couldn't wait for Kim to get back to show off his new, manly physique and try to use his powers again. 
And it was at this moment that the ring sent out a final pulse of energy, completing the transformation of Ron's body. Distracted by his mighty muscles and feelings of manliness, Ron didn't notice the flare of heat within his glutes. As the energy swirled into Ron's glutes, they quickly swelled out, pulling tight against his boxers until two dimpled round globes of muscle pushed against the seat of Ron's pants.
 And while Ron's boxers could handle his bigger buns, the combination of his wider hips and now broader and rounder rear was too much for the back of Ron's pants as tears formed with every jostle and movement from the blonde bodybuilder. 
So as Ron moved into a most muscular pose, growling as every muscle flexed tightly against his clothes, a loud RIIIIP cut Ron's growl short. His eyes widened when he felt a cold breeze flow over his hindquarters. "No, no no no no!" Ron chanted as he spun around, turning over his neck to look into the mirror. And he saw that, while the rest of his clothes had survived the transformation, the now blown out seat of his pants had not and the world had a clear window at the now tightly packed back of his blue spotted shorts. 
"Ah man, my pants!"

"Talking New Bob Dylan" de Loudon Wainwright III, uno de los homenajes/ parodias/ tributos a Bob Dylan más divertidos de todos los tiempos. El padre de Rufus lo escribió por el 50 cumpleaños de Dylan. Entre otras cosas, evalúa su obra ("Self Portrait?/ Bueno, fue un esfuerzo interesante...") y lamenta ser uno de los "hermanos pequeños idiotas" de Dylan junto a Bruce Springsteen. Entre otras perlas, Loudon suelta: "Pero no comencé a escribir hasta el 68/ Eras demasiado intimidante, eras demasiado genial/ Sin embargo, gané muchos concursos de imitación de Bob Dylan". El tema apareció en el LP de 1992 "History" y en 2006 fue rescatado en el CD promo de la revista Rolling Stone alemana "Rare Trax Vol. 45 - Hear This Robert Zimmerman - A Birthday Tribute".

Chapter 21 of Roneo and Kimliet
Chapter 21
(5:01pm)
Ron recoiled in fear as he flung the script again.
"EWWW! I have to kiss Kim?" he asked at the top of his lungs.
Rufus nodded his pink head.
"No wait! That's it! I'll call up Mr. Barkin!" he exclaimed as he reached for the extension phone his parents put in his room. Unfortunately for him, he heard to the words of Barkin in his head.
Remember, once I say the names on the list, they cannot be reversed!
"Aww man. Why does Barkin have to live rent-free inside of my head?!" he muttered to himself. "Guess I'll have to call up Kim! I'll have to spread that rumor of Barkin wearing a toupee another time."
Ron picked up the phone and called Kim's number up.
Kim, at the Possible house, picked up the phone on the other end.
"KP! I need your help!"
"Yeah, Ron, I guess you heard the very part where we have to kiss?"
"Rufus showed it to me!" Ron panicked, "I didn't know what to do!"
"Mom talked it over with me!" Kim replied, "She said that I have to remind myself that it is only a play! But you do know about my stage fright ishes!"
"Oh yeah, and my issues with the stage as well, Kim? I don't wanna go through that again!" Ron insisted.
"Ron, we're talking about actually swapping stuff with our lips!" Kim exclaimed. "This wasn't like with the Moodulator incident at the fair a few weeks ago! This is for-real kissing!"
"I think there is only one thing that we can do." Ron stated.
"That's right! We're gonna have to contact The Group!" Kim insisted! _
(1 hour later)
Kim and Ron had contacted Monique, whom in turn contacted Felix, Zita, and Crystal to meet up at Bueno Nacho for dinner. Tara was out to dinner with family at the time and was unable to come.
Kim and Ron also insisted to Felix and Zita to bring their scripts as well.
They ordered their usual set of food: Felix, Monique, and Ron with the chimmeritos and the Nacos while Kim, Zita and Crystal went for taco salads.
Once The Group sat down at their usual booth, they got to the main topic of business, which was the Romeo and Juliet casting decision.
"How could Barkin be this blind?" Kim exclaimed while taking a bite of her taco salad, "He should've known that I am not very good on the stage!" She had to obviously leave out the part that she was kissing Ron, for she was in a group setting. For that part, she wanted to talk to Monique and Monique alone.
"But he said those names off the list!" Felix added, finishing off a chimmerito. "And as he mentioned before, once he said them, there's no way to change them."
But Zita was twirling around her salad, sighing.
"It was supposed to be my role as Juliet." she muttered.
"Truth be told, Zita, I didn't want the role." Kim replied, "I was not the one who wrote my name down on the list!"
"Something just doesn't feel right!" Zita replied.
"I'm agreeing with her, girl!" Monique added while peppering in a Monique-speak term. "Something is way OTL here!"
"OTL?" Crystal asked.
"Over the line!" Kim explained the Monique-speak translation.
"You probably could think that someone could've swapped the roles?" Felix asked.
"It may be a possibility, no pun intended." Kim said, "But we're stuck with what we..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, the four beeps of the Kimmunicator rang.
Kim immediately got it out of her overalls pocket and turned it on.
"Hold that thought, everyone! Hey Wade! What's the sitch?" she asked.
"Major update in the case of the thefts at the Louvre from a few days ago, Kim!" Wade replied "We finally identified who's the thieves are!"
"How did you know?" Kim asked.
"I scanned the ISBN codes on the back of their necks. They are officially HenchCo henchmen bought by..." Wade said before allowing Kim to guess the villain.
Kim thought for a moment and immediately replied.
"Senor Senior, Senior!"
"Bingo! They, and the artwork, should be at their island lair." Wade replied, "I've informed Global Justice as well. Their hovercraft should be here by now..."
Then The Group heard the roar of the engines over Bueno Nacho's roof.
"Wow!" Kim exclaimed, "Talk about good timing."
"The mission uniforms should be on board!" Wade continued.
"What about the play?" Monique asked.
"We'll talk about the Bard later." Kim replied before whispering in Monique's ear, "And I want to talk to you alone: girl-to-girl."
"Gotcha!" Monique replied.
Kim and Ron hurried out of the door before getting into the GJ hovercraft.

“Ron… why did I get a text from Rufus? Does he even have a phone… did he steal it and —- okay why is this a date?” (Random ask because our plot is fire) - from Monique duh.
Tumblr media
Ron blinked at her and then gave her a look that was almost accusatory. "Of course he has a phone. You think I would deprive my only child, the light of my life, of the priviledge to play flappy bird? That would be child abuse, Monique, and I won't have talk of it. How is he supposed to order Bueno Nacho delivery without a phone?" / @takeflight

The most frustrating thing about Kim is how she's immune to criticism. Her apologies are almost always met with the other person apologizing, even when they shouldn't have to.
"But Kim apologizes and learns her lesson! She grows and matures past those things! It's not fair to hold it against her forever!"
Does she? Let's review:
"Bueno Nacho" - Apologizes for getting mad at Ron for outshining her at the job. Not for forging an application for him or guilting him into taking the job in the first place.
Bonus: This is the first of Kim's apologies, and she consistently apologizes for the most minor transgression of the episode, ignoring all the other ones.
"Attack of the Killer Bebes" - Says she'll support Ron because he's her best friend, but doesn't actually apologize.
"The New Ron" - Apologizes for saying Ron needs a new haircut. Not for forcing him into one. Not for not caring how much he hated it. Not for stealing his hat. Not for humiliating him. Tries to throw in a lesson at the end that it's what's on the inside that counts, ignoring that fact that she was the one who forced him to change in the first place.
Bonus: Once again, Kim only apologizes for the most minor transgression.
Bonus+: There's a scene where Kim gets mad at Ron for "abandoning" Rufus, but, having watched the episode recently, I can say that's not what happened; Ron, despite not having pockets, still carried Rufus around with him, Rufus wandered off on his own. Ron probably wasn't too worried because Rufus does that frequently. And he does gently chastise Rufus for wandering off anyways. Thus, Kim's anger at Ron was not justified, and likely just because she was looking for an excuse.
"Coach Possible" - Never actually apologizes for driving her brothers' soccer team so hard they cry. Doesn't apologize, but does get fired from a job she didn't want in the first place, and mopes about it.
"October 31st" - Doesn't apologize for the lying or putting other people in danger. Doesn't acknowledge that she was putting other people in danger.
Bonus: How would Monique's family react to finding out one of Monique's party guests destroyed their garage door? Probably not happy, and banning Kim from their property until she can pay off the replacement wouldn't seem unreasonable.
Bonus+: I doubt the people asking Kim to retrieve the Centurion Project would've been happy to find out how it got stuck to her in the first place. I imagine Kim would be getting much fewer retrieval jobs after that.
"The Twin Factor" - Doesn't apologize for using mind control on her brothers. Tries to justify it and, though her parents clearly disapprove, isn't punished for it.
"The Ron Factor" - This would have been a great episode about Kim learning she takes Ron for granted and apologizing, but instead, despite doing practically nothing in this episode, she still has credit handed to her.
Bonus: The Global Justice scientists said the results of their study into "The Ron Factor" were complete and that Ron was a non-factor, but there's a movie about how Ron is vital to Kim's success, so clearly this is false. Perhaps they meant they couldn't replicate it?
"Adventures in Rufus-Sitting" - Lies to Ron about how it went watching Rufus. Doesn't apologize for not taking it seriously. Doesn't apologize for accidentally endangering Rufus. Just lies to him about how it went.
Bonus: My sister has mentioned to me that how someone treats a pet says a lot about how they view the pet's owner. So Kim's treatment of Rufus says a lot about her opinion of Ron.
"Return to Wannaweep" - Doesn't apologize for not taking Ron's concerns seriously or sabotaging Bonnie. Even Dr. Lurkin apologizes for not taking Ron's concerns seriously. And then Ron tries to give a lesson about how if Bonnie and Kim weren't so busy competing with each other, one of them could have won the Spirit Stick, as though Kim and Bonnie are equally to blame for it.
Bonus: Someone who hasn't known Ron as long as Kim has, has enough respect for Ron to apologize to him, when Kim consistently fails to do so.
"Bonding" - Apologizes to Bonnie for an unintentional comment about Bonnie's weight, quicker than she's ever apologized to Ron, and more sincerely as well.
Bonus: Despite not actually intending to insult Bonnie, Kim still has enough respect for her to apologize. More than she usually does for Ron, her "best friend".
"Fashion Victim" - Apologizes to Monique for being jealous, but not the things she did that could have cost Monique her future in the fashion industry.
Bonus: If Monique was hassling Kim to break an NDA and trying to get a tech guy to find a loophole so she could, would we think Monique should be forgiven so easily?
And consistently doesn't apologize to Ron for dismissing his fears, concerns, and feelings.
So, Kim apologizing to Ron is very rare, almost non-existent.
It's been mentioned to me that some relationships don't require explicit apologies or that love means never having to say you're sorry.
I say that's stupid.
If you care about someone, and you hurt them, you should want to apologize and make things right. Even if it seems like you don't need to say it, you should still show you're remorseful in some way.
And Kim doesn't.
