Ron woke up in a hotel room. This didn't surprise him, since he and Zita had come to Los Angeles for a Space Passage convention.
Zita was just as much a fan of the show as Ron was, more when it came to Commander Kane. The relative newlyweds gladly took a weekend off from Upperton University, to do the science fiction thing together.
Ron sat up when he noticed that his wife (that still sounded cool) had already gotten up. He could hear water running in the bathroom sink.
Ron quietly got out of bed and, using some Yamanuchi brand ninjitsu, snuck over to the bathroom door.
His plan was to give Zita a surprise tickle attack.
However, it was Ron who yelled in surprise when he rounded the open doorway and found Kim brushing her teeth. Ron fell back onto the floor and looked up at her in shock. Kim was wearing a robe over a thin, frilly camisole and pant set with white slippers. Her auburn hair wasn't brushed yet. The black toothbrush that stuck out of her mouth contrasted her fair skin. She put her hands on her hips and looked down at him the way she did on missions when 'his head was not in the game'.
"KP?" Ron was in shock.
"Yes?" She said absently as she turned back to the sink to finish her teeth.
"Uh," he stood up "when did you get here?"
She looked at his reflection in the mirror. That same face she had made was now intensified to the point of making feel like she thought him crazy. She removed the toothbrush, "The same time you did!" She then continued brushing.
Ron thought for a second that he could actually hear the theme from "The Twilight Zone" and began wondering when Rod Serling would begin speaking. "Where's Zita?"
"How should I know?" Kim rinsed her mouth. "Haven't seen her since the wedding." She took a hand towel and wiped her face. "Get dressed. We need to eat before you get that captain guy to sign your toy laser."
"Maser," Ron corrected absent-mindly. He agreed he should get dressed, but he couldn't move. He couldn't think.
Kim squeezed around him and walked over to a suitcase sitting on the one unused bed, which was next to the bed he had woke up in. Ron watched incoherently as she opened the suitcase.
Ron's jaw dropped as she took off the robe and set it on the bed next to the suitcase. Her nightclothes were very thin and little of Kim was left to imagine. Not that Ron had planned on imagining Kim since he married Zita!
Kim cast him an appreciative sidelong glance.
Ron yelped and retreated into the bathroom when he saw Kim begin to remove her camisole! Ron shut the door and leaned on it a moment, whimpering. What is he doing with Kim? Where's Zita? She wouldn't like this at all! Missions were one thing, but -!
Ron looked down at his wedding ring as he thought of his vow. It wasn't the ring he and Zita had picked out!
"Ronny?" Kim asked from the other side of the door, "Are you okay?"
"Don't come in!" Ron blurted. "Not decent!"
"You're gonna get me hot, monkey master!"
Ron clenched his teeth. Zita will not like this at all! "Go-way!"
"I don't know, Rufus." Ron could hear Kim say though she had stepped away from the door. "He's acting real strange this morning." Ron thought he heard some jabbering, then, "Great idea!"
A moment later, Rufus emerged through the gap under the door and climbed up to Ron's shoulder.
"Hi, buddy," Ron managed to mutter.
"Yookay?" Rufus asked.
Ron thought he was going mad. "Does this look different to you, Rufus?" He held up his ring finger.
Rufus looked at the hand and sniffed at the ring. "Nk-k. Same."
He was crazy. Ron decided to confide in his second longest friend and constant companion. He whispered as low as he could, "Rufus, we're here for a convention, right?"
Rufus nodded enthusiastically, "Spase, ukhuh."
"I'm married, right?"
Rufus was taken aback. He pointed to the ring and said, "Yeeaah," in a sarcastic tone.
"To Zita?" Ron asked, dropping his voice even lower.
Rufus gibbered in surprise. "Nononono," he held his paws up and waved them both. He then pointed to the door, "Kimkim!"
Ron sighed heavily.
"Hay, Wuddup?" Rufus gibbered.
"That's not how I remember it," Ron whispered.
"Nh?"
"I remember marrying Zita."
Rufus grabbed Ron's ear and peered inside, then knocked experimentally on Ron's skull and put his ear there.
Ron sighed again, "Nope, my mind is gone."
Rufus made a sensitive, "Awwwww," and hugged his friend's head.
"Don't tell Kim. Okay, Dude? I don't want her to worry."
Rufus shrugged, "Nkay."
Ron opened the door slowly, peering around it carefully.
"Hey, Captain courage. " Kim said sarcastically, "No monkeys out here, just your wife."
About that.
Ron dismissed the thought. He was obviously crazy.

Ron woke up in a hotel room. This didn't surprise him, since he and Kim had come to Los Angeles for a Space Passage convention.
Kim wasn't a fan of the show like Ron was, but had let herself be dragged along. The alternative would have been to stay home and get ahead on coursework at Upperton University, while her life long best friend and husband of six months did the science fiction thing alone.
Ron sat up when he noticed that his wife (that still sounded cool) had already gotten up. He could hear water running in the bathroom sink.
Ron quietly got out of bed and, using some yamanuchi brand ninjitsu, snuck over to the bathroom door.
His plan was to give Kim a surprise tickle attack.
However, it was Ron who yelled in surprise when he rounded the open doorway and found Zita brushing her teeth. Ron fell back onto the floor and looked up at her in shock. Zita was wearing a robe over a thin, frilly nightgown with bunny slippers. Her black hair wasn't brushed yet. The white toothbrush that stuck out of her mouth contrasted her tanned skin. She put her hands on her hips and looked down at him in much the way Kim did on missions when 'his head was not in the game'.
"Zita?" Ron was in shock.
"Yeah?" She said absently as she turned back to the sink to finish her teeth.
"Uh," he stood up "when did you get here?"
She looked at his reflection in the mirror. That same face she had made was now intensified to the point of making him feel like she thought him crazy. She removed the toothbrush, "The same time you did, Silly!" She then continued brushing.
Ron thought for a second that he could actually hear the theme from "The Twilight Zone" and began wondering when Rod Serling would begin speaking. "Where's Kim?"
"Harvard, I guess," Zita rinsed her mouth. "She could be off fighting some goon, but I'm sure she'd call you first." She took a hand towel and wiped her face. "Get dressed. We need to eat before the autograph sessions start."
Ron thought he should get dressed, but he couldn't move. He couldn't think.
Zita squeezed around him and walked over to a suitcase sitting on the one unused bed, which was next to the bed he woke up in. Ron watched incoherently as she opened the suitcase.
Ron's jaw dropped as she took off the robe and set it on the bed next to the suitcase. The gown was very thin and little of Zita was left to imagine. Not that Ron had planned on imagining Zita since he married Kim!
Zita gave him a wink when she noticed him watching.
Ron yelped and retreated into the bathroom when he saw Zita begin to remove the gown! Ron shut the door and leaned on it a moment, whimpering. What is he doing with Zita? Where's Kim? She wouldn't like this at all!
Ron looked down at his wedding ring as he thought of his vow to his best friend in all the world. It wasn't the ring he and Kim had picked out!
"Rondo?" Zita asked from the other side of the door, "Are you okay?"
"Don't come in!" Ron blurted. "Not decent!"
"Don't get me hot, bad boy!"
Ron clenched his teeth. Kim will not like this at all! "Go-way!"
"I don't know, Rufus." Ron could hear Zita say though she had stepped away from the door. "He's acting real strange this morning." Ron thought he heard some jabbering, then, "Cool! You do that."
A moment later, Rufus emerged through the gap under the door and climbed up to Ron's shoulder.
"Hi, buddy," Ron managed to mutter.
"Yookay?" Rufus asked.
Ron thought he was going mad. "Does this look different to you, Rufus?" He held up his ring finger.
Rufus looked at the hand and sniffed at the ring. "Nk-k. Same."

"To Kim?" Ron asked, dropping his voice even lower.
Rufus gibbered in surprise. "Nononono," he held his paws up and waved them both. He then pointed to the door, "Zeee!"
Ron sighed heavily.
"Hay, Wuddup?" Rufus gibbered.
"That's not how I remember it," Ron whispered.
"Nh?"
"I remember marrying Kim."
Rufus grabbed Ron's ear and peered inside, then knocked experimentally on Ron's skull and put his ear there.
Ron sighed again, "Nope, my mind is gone."
Rufus made a sensitive, "Awwwww," and hugged his friend's head.
"Don't tell Zita. Okay, Dude? I don't want her to worry."
Rufus shrugged, "Nkay."
Ron opened the door slowly peering around it carefully.
"Hey, scaredy boy. " Zita said sarcastically, "No monkeys here, just your wife."
About that. Ron dismissed the thought. He was obviously crazy.

If you think I accidentally wrote the same chapter twice, you may want to reread it.
Obviously, something very strange has happened to Ron (both of him).
I have been working on this concept in a novel length story with completely original characters. Then I realized I could do a short rehearsal story with the KP gang.
Watching the symbols before each section should help you keep things straight. Each one follows a particular Ron.
Hope you enjoy it.
