Chapter 6 Show Down in a Tree House

Ron sat cross-legged, naked on the floor of the tree house. He heard the commotion below before two girls nudged, elbowed and generally shoved each other on their way up into the small room. He glared at the pair before he firmly stated, "I want you two to be quiet, get undressed and sit down!"

"Ron," Kim protested, "I thought you called me at one in the morning so we could talk alone!"

"Me too," Bonnie quickly added.

Ron held a single finger up to silence them. "I said shut up, strip and sit!"

Bonnie smiled as she took off her short short gym shorts and almost too high, cropped-off tee shirt and sat down on the floor. Her stare became menacing as she watched her green-eyed rival. Kim glared at Bonnie as she slouched off her pajama tops and bottoms. She plopped down crossed legged and glowered at the other female.

Ron looked over the two and asked the teal-eyed brunette, "Bonnie. Why do you have some tissue in your nose?"

Bonnie shrugged. "I ran into a door and got a bloody nose. Nothing major," she shrugged again, pulled the wad out and tossed it down the tree house entryway.

Ron turned to his auburn haired friend. "KP, you usually wear you hair in a ponytail when you go to bed. Why is it put up in a bun now?"

Kim smirked, "I thought I'd try a new hair style." She fluffed it with one hand. "Do you like it Sweetie?"

Ron sighed as he looked from one girl to the other. "I swear, if you two don't get honest with me I'll dump you both, quit school and move to Norway!"

"No!" the girls yelled in unison.

"Kim hit me!" Bonnie accused.

"After Bon Bon pulled out some of my hair!" Kim shot back.

"Don't you Bon Bon me Bubble Butt!" Bonnie screamed as she started to move toward Kim.

"Bonnie, Kim, stop it!" Ron boomed. His voice literally shook the tree house as his eyes flamed with blue fire and his hair started blowing up and away from his head. A blue aura enveloped him. "God help both of you if I get any angrier with the way you two are acting!" he loudly growled.

Bonnie stared wide eyed at the furor of Ron's demeanor. Kim sadly looked at the floor. "Okay Ron," the green-eyed teenager said solemnly. "I apologize to you and Bonnie for the way I acted today."

"What's happening?" Bonnie said in amazement.

Kim got into the Lotus position, closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Ron is channeling his Mystical Monkey Power. He only gets that way when he's really angry. One time at Drakken's lab we were captured and Ron got so mad at himself for getting us caught. We were thrown in a small room and the Power rose to a point where he punched the steel door clean off the hinges, setting us free." She took another deep breath. "If you close your eyes and meditate, you can feel the energy he's emitting and some of it will enter and infuse with you."

Bonnie closed her teal eyes and took a cleansing breath. After a few seconds she smiled. "Wow," she said softly, "I can really feel it. It's invigorating," she mused and moaned, "and somewhat sexual." Bonnie felt a wave of pleasure building rapidly in her groin. "Kim, do you... think he uses it during...Ummm!" Bonnie bit her lower lip in a fit of ecstasy as she shuddered violently and let out a torrent of feminine love juice.

Kim panted between words. "Yeah but... I don't think...Ooooo he knows he's... doing it!" Her voice trailed off into a high whine as she also squirted into her cupped hands covering her pussy in orgasm. Kim slumped forward and took a few deep cleansing breaths to regain her composure.

Bonnie took a deep breath and said rapidly. "Ron Dear I'm sorry I sassed Kim and torn at her hair. I'm jealous of what you two have and I acted stupidly." She weaved back and forth in a haze before she regained control and opened her eyes.

Ron smiled as he closed his eyes and slumped forward. The aura dissipated and flames disappeared as his eyes opened and were their normal chocolaty brown shade. "That's better you two," Ron cheerfully chirped and sat up. "We're all on the same team. We should be buds, not mad at each other."

"Ron I'm..." Kim started before Ron cut her off.

"I know Kim. I listened to all of your voice mails," he said seriously. "You're sorry for not talking to me before you got into your religious study," Ron shook his head. "I'm a little disappointed in you when the tone of your messages went from 'I'm Sorry' to 'I'll kill Bonnie if she gets her mitts into you.' That's not very nice."

Ron turned to Bonnie. "And your e-mails weren't any better. You went from asking me to come over and work on our paper to dissing Kim, to actually accusing her causing the unrest in the Middle East."

Both ladies started to apologize at the same time until Ron held up his hand to hush them. He turned to the teal eyed brunette. "Bonnie, I don't think you're aware, but there's another cheerleader lookin for my lovin. Kim knows."

"Who?" Bonnie angrily growled. Her hand quickly shot to cover her mouth. "Oh, I'm sorry Ron. My eyes must have turned the same shade as Kim's just then."

"Jealousy can make us do and say rash things," Ron said sagely. He leaned forward a little and yelled, "You can come up now."

Kim closed her eyes and hollered, "Yeah, come on up Tara!"

The platinum blond crawled through the hole in the floor. Ron scooted over as Tara shed her long pink terry robe and sat opposite to Ron, equidistant from the three naked teens. Bonnie nodded to Kim and motioned to Tara's robe. They could see a big wet stain on the front. The two exchanged knowing winks before the air grew serious in the little wooden room in the tree.

"Tara," Bonnie wistfully said in recognition of the situation, "I've known you've had a crush on Ron for a long time." She sighed as she got up off the floor. "I'm not going to fight my best friend over a guy, no matter how wonderful he is." Bonnie picked up her shirt and started to put it on.

"Bonnie sit down," both Ron and Tara said in unison.

"I'm not here to fight with you over Ron," Tara sincerely said. "He asked me to be a referee between you and Kim. I know both of you and I'm only interested in getting the best thing for Ron."

"Even if that means you don't get him?" Bonnie asked as she dropped her shirt and sat down on the floor.

"Yes Bonnie," Tara sighed. "I'll be honest and say I want him for myself, but it's his happiness I'm really interested in. I value his friendship more than anything else in Middleton."

"Thanks Tara," Kim kindly said. "I only wish I can be that magnanimous when Bonnie get Ron." She hung her head in shame. "I already lost when I spied on you two and didn't tell Ron about my plans to convert to Judaism for him. I've decided to confess to Rabbi Katz and give up the instruction."

"You can't do that KP," Ron chimed in.

"Sure I can."

"No, I mean you can't confess to the Good Rabbi," Ron laughed. "He'd have to be a Catholic Priest to hear your confession."

The four teens laughed at Ron's joke.

Tara looked at Kim, then at Bonnie. "Here's what's going to happen. The events of the past few days are history and you both start with a clean slate. You will each get a chance to state the reasons you and Ron should hook up." She wagged her index finger at the two. "You will not dis the other girl. When you've both said your peace I will decide who Ron will date exclusively. My word is law and you won't challenge me. Agreed?"

"Yes," Kim said, picking at a splinter in the floorboard.

"Okay," Bonnie sighed loudly, folding her arms across her chest.

"Now," Tara said shutting her eyes, "I think better with my eyes closed so don't worry and think I've fallen asleep. B is before K in the alphabet so Bonnie, you go first."

"But P comes before R!" Kim protested.

Tara's eyes shot open. "Kim! I'm the law and my decisions are final! Bonnie goes first!"

Kim slouched. "Sorry Tara. Green eyes, red hair..." Kim mewed. "I really got to do something about my jealousy and temper."

"Kim," Ron cut in, "there's nothing wrong with your temper, you normally have it under control. But lately your usually long fuse has been burning extremely short and fast. It's understandable with the way our emotions have been jacked up and flowing freely these past few days." He turned to the teal-eyed brunette. "Bonnie, go ahead."

Bonnie looked around the room at the three other naked teens. "Tara, Kim, Ron. I... I know I've been harsh on you Ron. I did hate you for the longest time. You were a poor student, you're casual in just about everything you do except when you eat and you don't fit into my ideas of what should be going on at school. You rocked the boat of Queen Bonnie's little kingdom. But sometime late last year it suddenly hit me. You were so simple to understand. You didn't hate anyone because it's not in your nature to hate. You're only filled with love and loyalty and an innate sense of purpose that simply floored me. Your purpose in life is to bring joy and happiness to others. You do it in your own little way every day as you walk down the hall and give everyone a cheery hello or funny quip. There may be the occasional someone that laughs at you. But they are laughing, instead of being miserable about failing their math class or history exam. And you bring joy or happiness by going with Kim on your missions. If that Demental guy, or any of the other idiots that want to take over the universe were to succeed, the world wouldn't be a pleasant place to live in. By stopping them, you at least take away that threat and give everyone a chance at happiness. I wanted that happiness you give out so freely.

"So just after I came to the realization, I cranked up my nastiness," Bonnie said as she hung her head in shame. "I did it to see if you'd stand on your own two feet and not live in Kim's shadow. I thought she was suffocating you, holding you back. This semester I figured out you actually feed off some of her positive energy and that's where your strength and positive attitude comes from. I'm not as strong as Kim there so I thought if you got your own backbone, we could feed off each other and I wouldn't have to be Queen Bonnie anymore." She raised her eyes to Ron. "I can be a positive person if I have a good, loyal boyfriend by my side. Brick is good and loyal but he doesn't hold a candle to you in either department. And, as I told you, he doesn't stand up very well in the bedroom either.

"When you stood up to me twice the other day, I thought I had finally did it. I jumped at the chance that you would accept me, maybe become my boyfriend and we'd ride off into the sunset together."

"Twice?" Ron queried. Kim simply nodded.

Bonnie wistfully sighed. "Yeah. Once during our debate and again after we left Barkin's office, just before you left for lunch. I said you knew nothing about the real money world and you came right back at me with international law and government treaties."

"Oh yeah," Ron said in realization.

"I didn't know you squared off with Bonnie twice in one day," Tara said, her eyes still closed. "No one told me what went on after you left Barkin's office."

"Sorry Tara," Bonnie sighed to her closest blond female friend. "I guess I wasn't too coherent when I tried to talk to you later that afternoon." She looked over to Ron. "See, I wasn't my usual self then and I'm not the snarky Queen Bonnie anymore. You say the word and I'll tear down the Food Chain and disband my posse." Her shoulders slumped forward as she added, "I think I'll do that anyway."

Tara asked, "What if one of your posse were to take over the Queen spot?"

Bonnie's barracuda smile came to the fore. "Then I'd get on the PA and tell the school how bogus the whole Food Chain is."

Bonnie took a deep breath before she went on. "Then, before cheerleading practice that day, I decided to help you gain more confidence in yourself. I spread the word, with most of the cheerleaders, to go along with me in making you a member of the squad. I left Tara out of the loop because I knew, with her crush on you, she'd go along with the plan. My only concern was with Kim. But when we talked in the gym during practice, I found out she had been trying to improve you all along and she cottoned to the idea quickly." Bonnie laughed slightly with a tear in her eye. "And boy oh boy, did you go beyond living up to my hopes and expectations. You took to cheer like you've been doing it your entire life."

Ron shrugged. "I guess I learned a lot of the moves from watching you guys on the floor and helping KP on missions."

Bonnie shrugged and smiled. "That's all I have to say Ron, Tara, Kim. Except I do like and admire you Ron and I want to be a better person and your friend. I'm a better person already, having gotten to know and be with you for the last couple of days. I'll continue to get rid of my Queenliness no matter if Tara chooses me or Kim." Bonnie's barracuda smile arose. "And I do remember proposing to you last night after you came in my ass and you tucked me into bed. And you said yes!"

"Bonnie proposed to you last night?" Kim shouted, "after you...Ewwwww!"

"I thought it was kind of cute," Ron mused. "She was half out of it and wanted to spend the rest of our lives in her bedroom."

"I might have seemed to be half out of it but I was very serious Ron," Bonnie said firmly. "What happened last night was fan..., su..., well, words can't describe how you made me feel. Ecstatic just isn't strong enough. I want it for the rest of my life. I want you by my side for the rest of our lives."

"Thank You Bonnie," Tara said with a smile. "Kim, you're up."

"Thank You Tara," Kim said sunnily, then turned to her former arch rival, "and thank you Bonnie for the wonderful words you said about Ron. They're all true, especially the way he makes me feel after our little pet fests." She dreamily looked at Ron for a second before turning back to the brunette. "I wish you the best in your struggle to rid yourself of Queen Bonnie. If you need any assistance call me, beep me, if you want to page or text me it's O.K."

She turned her attention to Ron. "We've been almost inseparable since you first helped me against that bully in Pre-K. I remember I had to bail you out when he was going to pound you for stepping in, but it gave us time to talk and become good friends during our Time Out.

"I finally realized how special you were after dating, and quickly getting over, the hotness I thought Josh was. I would've wink out of existence if you hadn't gone to the Amazon to get that plant during my date with him. That's the characteristic of a true loving friend, going to any lengths to save your friend. You did that for me and I'd go to any lengths to help you in your hour of need." She looked at Bonnie and smirked, "I'd even strip naked on the fifty yard line of Bronco Stadium during halftime of a play-off game, exposing my bee sting tits and alabaster butt if it would benefit Ron." Everyone but Bonnie laughed. The teal-eyed girl simply moaned.

"Then there was the whole Moodulator incident. I found out later, the Moodulator only enhanced the emotion it was set on. It brought out my true feelings of love for you that I had buried deep in my heart." Kim giggled. "After the device was destroyed, I said there were still fireworks. I meant it both figuratively and literally. The fireworks they set off that night and my love for you are both beautiful to me and extremely dangerous. The danger lay in whether my love would push our friendship over the brink or to new and exciting heights.

"It was then I decided to study Judaism and see what you were all about. I told Mom and Dad about it and they said they approved if I brought you up to speed and made you my partner in the study. I guess I got cold feet and told them it might look like I was just trying to make amends for locking you in that janitor's closet over the weekend of the Spring Fling Dance."

"You're Mom bought that story hook line and sinker KP," Ron said lightly chuckling. "She told me earlier this evening when we talked on your back porch."

"Oh, so that's where you've been hiding, right under my nose. I checked the tree house and your place and couldn't find you at Bueno Nacho. I never thought you'd be right outside my back door.

"But that's so like you Ron," Kim laughed. "You always do the unexpected and that's why I love you. I wanted to do something unexpected and surprise you with my dedication to you and your beliefs." She hung her head. "But I went about it the wrong way. I should have told you what I was doing. I should have confessed my love for you and asked you to help me with my studies. I guess my motto, I can do anything, is right. I can make mistakes. I only hope I can learn from mine and have you by my side so we can continue to save the world and learn more about each other. We've had a lifetime of experiences together and if that's all I come away with, I'll be content with that." Kim meekly squeaked, "That's all I have to say, except my acceptance of your proposal still stands. Just say the word and I'll drop everything and marry you. I'd love seventy or eighty more years to go along with the fourteen wonderful ones we've had so far."

Tara's eyes slowly opened as she smiled at the two girls. "You both spoke eloquently and I can now make a decision... if I had all the facts."

"But they each had their say," Ron said excitedly. "What else do you need to hear?"

"Silly," Tara giggled wildly as she looked lovingly at Ron. "I still haven't heard from the one person who matters most in this triangle. YOU!"

"But Tara," Ron protested, "that's why I asked you to mediate this thing. My emotions are so mixed up I don't know which one to choose."

"I understand that Ron," Tara said as she place a gently hand on his. "I want you to speak your mind about each of them. Only then I can make a sound decision." She closed her eyes.

Ron harrumphed at the situation before a quirky smile arose. "Okay, I'm game. Kim, Bonnie, you are both beautiful smart and exceptional girls. You both deserve someone better than me."

"I've never found anyone better," Kim giggled, "and I've been all around the world a couple of times."

Bonnie laughed. "I haven't traveled as much as K. but I agree. You're one of a kind and very special."

Ron smiled sweetly. "Aw, that's kind of both of you, but I must say you both deserve..."

"Get on with it Ron," Tara said slyly, cutting him off. "I know it's early Saturday morning and we don't have school today. But Bonnie has a nail appointment at eight and you know she'd never miss that."

Ron shook his head. "Well, I guess my stall tactic failed miserably." He looked at Kim, then Bonnie and back to Kim. "KP, we've been together forever and I never thought I'd get mad at you like I was today. When you told me about your spying and going behind my back to study Judaism, well, I was so disappointed in you. I thought you knew me better than that." Kim started to cry and Ron reached over and patted her hand. "It's okay KP, I forgive your trespasses. Like Bonnie said, I can never be mad at anyone for very long, it's not in my nature. I still think of you as a sister every once in a great while, but those thoughts are getting fewer and farther between since we've made out twice."

"Lucky you," Bonnie snarled at Kim. "I've only been with Ron one night. You've had him twice."

"Bonnie!" Tara warned her friend, "we will not get down on the others here in the room."

"I'm sorry Tara," Bonnie sighed. "It's just that Ron was soooo good last night I'm jealous of Kim for having him more than me." Bonnie hung her head and softly said, "But you don't know what Kim and I are talking about. Perhaps you should be with Ron at least once so you'd know what each of us has on the line."

"Thank you for the offer," Tara said with a slight smile on her face, "but Ron doesn't want me like that. I'm just fine with the way things are right now."

"I think Bonnie's right," Kim said quickly. "You have no idea how... electric, Ron can get. I'm, I'm not sure if I want to hang around him or go on any more mission if I can't have his new improved Ronshine. I love him so much that if he isn't mine I couldn't go on with my regular life as it is now. There'd be too many reminders of what could have been."

"I don't want to be a cheerleader if I have to be around him and not get his lovin," Bonnie said sadly.

Ron shook his head slowly. "Ladies, I'm not that experienced or that good. Your lives would go on whether I'm with you or not. I don't want to be the center of your universe. Sex is not the be all end all of your lives here on Earth." Ron stood and crossed his arms. "If that's all you want, then neither one of you will have me as a friend or anything else." He turned to blond sitting on the floor. "Tara, come on. We'll move away, find some jobs and live together happily ever after."

Tara closed her eyes and smiled. "I would love that more than life itself."

Bonnie yelped, "Please God, NO!"

Kim started to quietly sob.

"As much as I want that to happen Ron," Tara sadly said, "I'm here to choose between Kim and Bonnie. I'm not an option."

Ron folded his arms across his chest. "Then I'm moving to Japan and start my studies with Master Sensei. He wants to teach me about my Mystical Monkey Power. Maybe Yori will still be interested in me."

Bonnie got up and grabbed Ron in a huge hug. "NO RON!"

Kim wiped her eyes and sighed. "If that's what you want Ron, I'll help you pack. I understand it gets kinda cold on the top of Mount Yamanouchi. I'll make sure you pack some warm clothes."

Ron shimmied out of Bonnie's bear hug and she collapsed to the floor in tears. "That's okay Kim. All I'll need is my gi and my toothbrush. We only wear gi s while at the school and I'll wear the clothes I travel in if I need to go into town."

Bonnie rose from the floor in a fit of rage. "Ron Stoppable, You Will NOT Move To Japan!" she stomped her bare foot and screamed before her voice weakened. "I want you to stay here with me."

"Bonnie," Tara said softly as she laid back on the floor with an arm over her eyes, "you just lost."

"What?" Bonnie screamed. "How did I just lose?"

Tara got up off the floor and guided her friend to the sofa. "The selfish Queen Bonnie just reared her ugly head. Kim on the other hand, showed she only wants what's best for Ron. She accepted his decisions to either run off with me or move away to better himself."

Bonnie's head hit her lap as she caught on to what had just transpired. "You're right. I have a long way to go before Queen Bonnie is out of my system and I deserve someone as wonderful as Ron. Some sage wise man once said you have to love yourself before you can love another or let someone love you. I hate myself for thinking like that bitch Queen Bonnie." She looked tearfully up at Ron. "But I will miss our study sessions a lot."

Kim started to put on her pajamas tops. "Come on Ron. I'll go with you to tell your parents about your decision."

Ron's goofy grin arose. "You mean to tell them that we've decided to date each other exclusively?"

"No," Kim said slightly shocked as she saw Ron and Tara fall into a giggle fit. "You mean you're not moving to Japan?"

"No Kim," Tara laughed. "Ron and I set this whole thing up. He wanted to see which one of you was willing to let him go. I told him that's what I think true love is."

Ron snickered. "I think that same wise guy once said, if you love someone, let them go. If they return it was meant to be. You know I'll always return to you KP. You were willing to let me go, even with Yori entering the equation."

Kim dropped the pajama tops from her hand and stomped toward her boy friend who had just become her boyfriend. "Ron!" she said angrily, "that was so devious!"

"Almost Machiavellian?" Ron chirped. He saw a shocked look on the three girl's faces. "Hey, what can I say? I'm naked!"

They all laughed before Bonnie turned to her blond female friend. "Tara, Kim and I both had an orgasm when Ron was channeling his Mystical Monkey Power after we first came up into the tree house. Did you have one too?"

"How did you..." Tara squeaked and blushed. She looked at her terry robe sitting on the floor. "Damn! And I was wearing panties too. I thought they'd catch it all."

"So this has happened before?" Kim asked as she walked over to the girls.

Tara giggled. "Yeah, but I never know when." She stared at the floor and swirled a toe around a knot hole in the boards. "I found out later through a little digging, that it occurs whenever Ron uses his Power. No matter where he is in the world, if he cranks up his MMP, I get a raging orgasm."

"Whoa, there must be some connection," Ron said as he started pacing the small floor. "I can't see it though. I mean I'm always angry when it happens."

It dawned on Kim. "Oh, so you're channeling your anger or negative energy at the time, while you emit your positive energy around you. That's what Bonnie and I could feel earlier."

Tara looked confused. "But why would I get such an influx of his positive energy even if he's half way around the world? Like when Ron first got his Powers in England. That was the first time I experienced it."

Kim smiled wickedly as it all came together. "Ron, you and Tara have the same birthday, right?"

"Yeah KP," Ron nodded. "I know how tweaked that used to make you."

"Yeah, yeah yeah," Kim waved him off. "But you were born at Middleton Hospital and Tara was born at Lowerton Hospital."

"Right," Tara giggled. "My Mom was shopping in Lowerton when I decided to make my grand entrance. They took her to Lowerton Hospital because it was closer."

Kim's wicked smile returned. "Ron was born at two-O-eight AM. When were you born Tara?"

Everyone chimed at the same time, "Two-O-eight!"

"Bingo!" Ron happily sang. "There's the connection."

"So, whenever Ron channels his Power," Bonnie recapped, "you get a big dose of special Ronshine."

Tara blushed a deeper red and tittered. "It goes further than that. I know when Ron is... letting loose his man juice."

"You mean when Ron and I were in the tree house?" Kim almost screamed. "Both times?"

"And when he and I were in my bedroom?" Bonnie did scream.

Tara laughed. "Yep! That's why I don't mind who get him. I win either way as long as he's happy. I've been carrying around extra panties and paper towels for the last couple of days just in case Ron got frisky with either of you." Tara went over to Ron and wrapped him in a big hug. "And I really appreciate your nightly and morning solo action for the last couple of years too. You have a very active libido."

Ron scratched the back of his head. "You're welcome?"

"There's one thing I still wonder about," Bonnie said as she walked toward Ron. "You told me I was one of your two favorite fantasies. Who's the other?"

Ron blushed as he glanced over at Kim.

"Me?" Kim inquired.

Ron nodded. "Yep, in your cheer outfit without your unmentionables. And I'm wearing..."

Kim blushed a deep beet red. "And the only thing you're wearing is the Mad Dog mask! That's my favorite sex fantasy Ron!" An sly smile arose on her face. "Do you still have that spare Mad Dog mask you made?"

Ron practically jumped into his pants. "I'll be back in five minutes." Ron dove through the hole in the floor and raced to his house.

Kim put her pajama tops on and started for the exit. She turned to the two girls. "Bonnie, I know you used to keep spare uniforms for you and Tara in the trunk of your car. Are they still there?"

Bonnie nodded. "Yes Kim. Why?"

Kim's sedately sly countenance morphed to a wicked smirk. "Would you two care to join me in disciplining the Middleton Mad Dog?"

Bonnie almost beamed. "I think I have a newspaper in the car too." Her hands rolled up an imaginary newspaper and smacked it across her hand.

Tara smiled and groaned. She went to her robe and got out a big wad of Bueno Nacho paper napkins.
