| - Kim and Ron are having problems with Bonnie Rockwaller and Mr. Barkin respectively. On a mission to stop Professor Dementor from stealing something from a top secret research facility, they're unable to stop Dementor from stealing the facility's invention, but Ron, unknowingly, ended up with Dementor's invention called a "Bondo Ball," which can bind people together at points on their bodies. Once back in Middleton, Ron ends up being bonded to Mr. Barkin at the shoulder while Kim gets bonded to Bonnie at the hip. Until they or Wade can find a solvent that will get them unstuck, Kim and Ron have to deal with being stuck to Bonnie and Barin, respectively. Ron finds out that Mr. Barkin acts as a den mother to a troop of Pixie Scouts in Middleton—or "Brigadier Pixie" as he calls it. Kim discovered that Bonnie's home life was not easy for her when she met Bonnie's got two older sisters named Connie and Lonnie who are just as mean to Bonnie as she typically is to others. After Connie and Lonnie leave after insulting Bonnie, Kim's shown to be feeling uncomfortable and actually kind of sorry for Bonnie. On a tip from Wade, Kim and Bonnie head for Dementor's Bavarian Alps hideout but are captured by him and his giant mutant Dachshunds. Wade alerts Ron and Mr. Barkin while they were at the Middleton Community Center to tell them what happened to the girls. The Pixie Scouts accompany him and Mr. Barkin on a rescue mission. While the two cheerleaders were hooked up to a machine of Dementor's, Kim apologizes to Bonnie for dragging her into the situation, but Bonnie assures Kim that it was actually kind of fun--Kim also admits that she has a better understanding of why Bonnie acts the way she does. Ron, Mr. Barkin, and the Pixie Scouts manage to save them—with Kim revealing that she was once a Pixie Scout herself—while Kim and Bonnie use their cheerleading skills to kept Dementor from escaping. Back at the Middleton Community Center, everyone's celebrating defeating Professor Dementor and getting separated from each other with a solvent. Ron's made an honorary Pixie Scout and, badly, raps about it, weirding out Bonnie and especially Kim.

(HHA2.2: WPD) On the instructions of Queen Adrienne whose life had been saved by a treecat, and who was herself a treecat adoptee, the Royal Manticoran Navy officially welcomed any treecat bonded to a crewmember aboard RMN vessels. In the Navy, as elsewhere, the nature of the relation between human and treecat was easily misunderstood, often as pet and owner, producing resentments. (HH1) Nearly all treecats who bonded with humans were adult males. Some female treecats did so as well, but this was far less common. Most human adoptees were adult as well, but it was not unheard-of for children to be adopted. Indeed, Queen Elizabeth, Rachel Mayhew, and Honor Harrington herself were all adopted (by Ariel, Hipper, and Nimitz respectively) as children. Although such bonds involved considerable adjustments both for the young adoptee and his/her parents, they were considered highly beneficial for the child, in part because their 'cat helped them to develop a sense of empathy for others. The loss of a bonded partner was difficult for either party. Since treecats had longer lifespans than pre-prolong humans, it was commonplace for them to outlive their partners. More than half the time, these "widowed" treecats committed suicide. Those who didn't generally returned to their clan. In very rare instances, the treecat would adopt another human, such as when Monroe adopted Justin Zyrr, or Samantha's adoption of Hamish Alexander. The latter case was also highly unusual in that Samantha adopted Alexander after having known him for a considerable time –- normally, bonding occurs within seconds after the first meeting between human and treecat.
