A few reviews that I couldn't answer directly

Guest; I will be covering some parts of the Honeymoon. If you check the rating of the story though you'll figure out most of what I won't be covering. And to answer your other question, no. I admire Hotrod2001's art of KP/RS a lot, but he has his own story arc that he is following and it is different than mine. It's just that sometimes one of his pictures comes really close to the mood I want to set for a story. He is nice enough to allow me to alter it enough that it comes even closer and then use it here.

Beckman; Actually it wasn't so much about Kim not trusting Ron, but I meant for her to feel that Ron wasn't trusting her by not involving her in the decision about buying the property. That's a pretty big decision for a young couple, especially if one makes it with talking about it with the other.

Guest Please, go ahead and let me know which misspellings you noticed, but also understand that the Hebrew words are a direct copy/paste from the sources that I used and they really play havoc with my spell checker. Sometimes I might also use what I call "Ron words," too. Trapish, prouder, badical, bon-diggity and the like.

"You're weird, but I like you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Would you be my friend?"

The little blond boy smiled and said, "I'll be your friend for as long as you want me to. I'll even be your best friend."

"I'd like that. My name is Kim."

"My name is Ron."

The morning dragged along at the same time for both of them. They each sat in their own parent's home and had the exact same thing for breakfast that the other did. Nothing. They were both wanting one of those new breakfast specials from Ron's restaurant, the Shego Supreme. Waffles with a peanut butter sauce, jelly, whipped cream, and maple syrup. The dill pickle was optional. It even came with a little toy Rufus wearing a sombrero for the kids.

For the first time that either could remember, Wade was unavailable to relay messages from one to the other so they could at least pass notes back and forth. Wade was up and trying to get himself and his live in girl friend Monique ready for the wedding themselves. They could have connected directly to the other, but both Kim and Ron felt like it would have been bending the tradition about not seeing each other past the breaking point. They both felt miserable and happy at the same time. Miserable because they couldn't see or talk to the other, but happy because they were going to see each other soon and be able to spend the rest of their lives together.

A few people had grumbled about having the wedding on a Tuesday. Even Kim's own parents asked again why since it was almost in the middle of the work week. She opened a small box that she had started to carry with her and pulled out a small card after thumbing through the others. Reading the card she said. "Because the third day of the week (Tuesday) was considered an especially good day for a wedding. This was so because of the account of the third day of creation, the phrase "... and God saw that it was good" (Genesis 1:10,12) appears twice. Therefore, Tuesday would be a doubly good day for a wedding. Late Friday and all of Saturday were out because of it being the Shabbat or Holly Day." Looking at her parents, she said, "I asked the same question and decided to write the answer down so I didn't leave anything out."

"So much to try and remember, so many restrictions, and you cut your beautiful long hair. I just hope Ron appreciates you for what he's putting you through." said James Possible.

"Dad. Ron is not "putting me" through anything. I want to do it this way, not because he asked me and not because he thinks it's expected of me. It's because it's not expected of me that I want to do this. I want to show him that I love him and what I would do for him. I think that this will show him more than anything else would. My hair is my business. Ron didn't ask me to cut it. It was necessary at the time for several reasons, so just please back off!" Kim said with more emotion than she meant.

"Kim." said James trying to sound apologetic but a little bit of hurt worked its way in there too. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just meant to you were doing a lot more extra things than we did when your mother and I got married. I wasn't trying to put Ronald down or anything about him."

Seeing she over reacted, she said, "I'm sorry dad. It's just that I'm a little nervous myself and not being able to see him only adds to it. He always seems to know what I need and when I need it, whether it's a joke, a kind word or a simple smile. And the whole no touching or kissing thing for the past week has got me a little on edge."

Her father's reaction to her apology told her that she's blundered again by crossing the "don't talk to your father about touching and kissing Ron" line. It was then that she decided to use her special tatic for her father, the one that would allow both of them to end this with only a minimum of discomfort. "That and I just started my period yesterday."

James swallowed and said with a hesitant smile, "Ah... yes... well...I see. Well I'll leave you to your mother then. I need to go up and start getting myself ready." After her father had left, her mother came over and sat beside her. "Kim. Are you alright? I mean physically, are you alright? This is the third or fourth time in the last month and a half that I've heard you say that you just started your period."

Kim softly explained that it was her way of ending an uncomfortable father/daughter talk without either of them loosing face.

"Mom. Is daddy alright? Because I just don't understand him sometimes. I'm really sure that he loves Ron, but sometimes he'll say something that has an edge to it and he pretends like it was just a slip. It's almost like he's trying to hide something from me."

Ann sighed and said after a pause, "He is dear, and before you ask, no, I won't tell you what it is. I promised him I wouldn't. You or Ronald. I hope you will trust me and your father enough to just take, "its complicated" as an answer for right now, but know that he does love both of you. I'll go up and talk to him and make sure it get's resolved before your wedding though. That way you can concentrate on the fact that you are getting married today."

As she started to leave the room Kim said, "Mom, if it helps, please remind daddy that both Ron and I love and respect him, no matter what."

"Kim. Believe it or not, that may only make it worse."

She found him in their bedroom, just sitting on the bed, staring off into nothing. "James?"

When he didn't respond, she went over and sat down beside him. He still didn't respond to her. Putting her hand on his shoulder, she asked, "James, are you all right?"

Still staring at nothing, he said, "I'm ruining it for her, aren't I? I'm ruining it for both of them. What should be one of the happiest days of their lives."

"Oh what makes you say that?" she asked him in a soft voice as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Changing his gaze, he looked at the floor in front of his feet. "She didn't want to talk to me anymore, so she used her secret code to get me to leave. Her, "I just started my period," code for "get away from me because I can't stand to look at you anymore." If she knew why I did what I did, she would have never asked me to walk her down the aisle."

"James. She would have because she loves you. Don't you think this pity party has gone on long enough? Talk to Ron. Please. Tell him what you did and why. He'll understand. I did. I thought you should have spoken to them then, but you thought it would pass and no one would know. I respected you enough to keep it our secret like you asked. I didn't know at the time that you would keep it bottled up like you have till it festered in you. You've let this thing eat at you all of these years. It's almost consumed you. You need to put it to rest. You think it will go only one way, but I think it will go another. Please. Kim wants and will need her father and I want my husband back, whole."

He stayed quiet for a few, but afterwards, he sign, resigned to his fate and said, "Okay Ann. I'll talk to Ron before the guests start showing up. I'll also talk to Slim and ask him to be ready in case they want him to take my place walking her up the aisle."

"James. Do you have so little faith in the them?"

"They didn't try to do what I did."

Ron's biggest problem so far had been entering the center. It was a large convention type center set up to adjust to handle any different type of requirement. The outside had several different styles incorporated into it to show some of the different functions it could be used for. For the first time ever, Ron noticed that there were two stone angels on either side of the main entrance and they both had their hands covering their faces as though they were crying. Ron stood there staring at them till Wade showed up. As wade walked up to Ron, wondering why he was standing outside, he could hear Ron saying to himself over and over again, "Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink."

"Ron." said Wade as he tried not to smile to much at his friend. "It's okay. They're not weeping angels."

"Are you sure Wade? I mean, really sure, cause I saw that episode with them in Manhattan. That's not what we need today."

"Ron, I did a full scan of the entire area just to make sure that none of the bad guys left anything as a surprise wedding gift for you or Kim. I also checked for any quantum locked objects. This whole area is clear."

"How did you check for anything that was quantum locked?"

"I used a timey whimey detector."

"Oh." said Ron as he relaxed. "Then it's okay."

Later that day as Ron was talking to Wade and Rabbi Katz about making sure that everyone would be ready for when the guests started to arrive he saw James Possible wave to him letting him know that Kim was now in the building. Which meant that Ron was now restricted to this Temple area until it was time for him to go in and veil the bride.

Ron turned back to his friends and announced, "Okay people. The ladies have entered the building, which means you'll find me right here if you need me. I probably be off in a corner crying." Which got more than a few light hearted chuckles from everybody.

Turning back around, Ron found his future father-in-law standing right behind him.

Looking very uncomfortable, James asked in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Uh, Ronald. Could you spare a moment for me? I need to talk to you about something in private." He said the words "something in private" loud enough so that no one would bother them.

Drew Lipski looked at James and said, "James, I procrastinate as much as anybody else, but isn't this almost too late to have that talk with him about the birds and the bees?" This brought about another round of chuckles.

Before the chuckles totally ended though, Donald Stoppable, Ron's father said, "I had that talk with him just this morning. He taught me quite a few things I didn t know." Which broke everybody out into full laughter now.

As the laughter was ending, Ron led James over to a corner where they wouldn't be disturbed or overheard, saying, "I'm just going to have a man to man with my future father-in-law over here."

Sitting down, Ron turned his chair to face James and said with a smile on his face and in a voice loud enough for James to hear but not loud enough to carry far beyond them, "Alright James. What's up?"

"Well, you see Ronald... I ...uh ..."James tried to say what was on his mind but couldn't. Finally he said, "I was very late for the wedding rehearsal and didn't hear why the normal wedding march isn't being used and I was just wondering why."

From the look on his face, Ron knew that that wasn't what Dr Possible wanted to talk about, but he decided to play along with the man. It might give him more time to get to the point.

"Well, that's an easy one sir. The normal wedding march, you know the "Here Comes the Bride, da da de da," is really the Bridal Chorus from "Lohengrin." It was written by Richard Wagner. He was anti-Semitic. He was so anti-Semitic that he was Hitler's favorite composer and he had Wagner's songs played at all of the concentration camps over their loud speakers. I have some relatives that are old, but they aren't that old, but a few of them had parents that were in those camps. They saw the fear on their parents faces whenever they heard his music after the war. It's in remembrance of those people that we aren't going not to use it. I like what we chose better. I think it fit us."

With a look that shifted between horror and embarrassment, James said, "Ronald, I'm so sorry... I had no idea ...I didn't know."

"No reason you should sir. It's just one of those little things that some people know about but don't talk about much. It's sort of one of the reasons I helped Kim when we were just starting, trying to do good things and help people, not hurt them or leave them with bad memories."

Now James's face took on a look of shame, something Ron couldn't remember seeing before.

"Uh yeah. About what I really wanted to talk to you about Ronald. I did something a long time ago and it...I mean it could have... but it...Aw hell. Look, I've asked my brother to standby to walk Kim down the aisle after I finally tell you what I've done. I don't think you want me to have that honor."

"James, just spit it out. Let me try and figure out who gets to do what and I'll have Wade ask Kim. Just tell me first because I can see that whatever it is has really got you upset."

James took a couple of deep breaths to try and clear his head and work up the strength to tell him. "Ronald, about five years ago when Kim had that memory recovery machine blow up on her and she lost all of her memories, I created that learning disk to try and reboot her memories." here he took a long pause before he continued. "I purposely left out the fact that you and she were dating at the time. I included the facts that she knew you and that you were friends but I left everything else out about you two."

Ron thought a moment before he asked, "Why would you deliberately do that sir?"

"Ronald, I was losing my daughter. Not to you or anybody else we were just growing apart. She use to come to me for all different sorts of things, to explain why this happened, why this was so and why this wasn't. Then one day I realized she wasn't coming to me anymore. She was finding her answers somewhere else. Either at school, or the library, online, or asking Wade. She was spending her time on missions, school work, community work and what free time she had she spent with her friend, you. After you two started dating she had even less time for me. She spent a lot of time with her mother, probably talking about you by the way, but I was quickly falling to the side. I tried to talk to her, but we had less in common than I thought. Girls and fashion weren't really my forte and the things she talked to her mother about really weren't anything I could talk to her about. Kissing boys, menstrual cramping, the proper tampon to use and the like."

"Then blamo. That thing blows up in her face and she's got a clean slate for a mind. So I started creating that reboot disk with all good intentions of getting her back up to speed to where she was. Then I realized that I had a chance to add something, something that we could share again, something we would have in common. That's when I added the "Captain Constellation" series. My favorite TV show. I knew everything there was to know about it. All four season of it. I thought I could become a part of my daughter's life again. As I started to look at how much space it would take up, I saw that I would have to leave something out. Well, I already told you what I left out."

"I saw how much it hurt you the next morning when you picked her up. You even brought her flowers and she laughed at you when you told her you two were dating. You tried to cover it up and you did a pretty good job of it, but I knew how much it had to hurt you. How much I had hurt you. Ann saw it too, but I was so ashamed of myself after seeing you two take off on your scooter that I asked her not to tell anyone about it. I started making a second disk to include you, but you two were already having little spats about her not remembering anything about dating you and then you had to run off and take care of a mission again. By the time you got back she had remembered and everything seemed alright again. No one was any the wiser."

"Because of what I did, or didn't do, I put you through hell playing with your emotions which I had no right to do, I put her through hell by lying to her and making her think she didn't love you and I did it because I was being a selfish old man. I was no better than that whole brain washing thing that that Syntho drone put her through last month. and it was because of you, the very person I almost wiped out of her life, that she has been able to fully recover from it."

They both sat there in silence for a minute when James stood up and said, "I'll get Slim and ask him to escort Kim. I'll go home. Now that I've said it out loud, I know I have no right to be here and share in your happiness that I almost destroyed."

As he turned to leave, Ron reached out and held his arm and asked him to sit back down. "You have had your chance and I sat here quietly, so please let me have my chance to tell you what it was like for me during that time."

"Ronald, please. If your want to yell and curse me, please let's do it out side. This may not be a real Temple or church but I wouldn't want you to do that in here. Besides, you can do whatever you want to do me outside and out of sight. I won't tell anyone what happens. I can say I slipped and fell. Several times."

"James. Sit down, please?" After he sat back down, Ron said, "You're right. It hurt like hell. I tried to hide it and thought I'd done a pretty good job of it, but it seems I was mistaken. At school, Kim remembered Monique right away. Mr. Barkin yelled at her to remember him and her home work and she did, under one minute. She remembered Bonnie after about five minutes and the later she remembered Shego in about ten minutes, but she didn't remember that we were dating, even after I showed her a picture of us at the jr prom together. If I would have known then what you just told me, I would have tried to beat the crap out of you. Now, I just want to do one thing to you."

With that said Ron reached out, took James's hand and shook it as he said, "Thank you sir."

James looked at Ron like he'd suddenly grown another head and asked, "What?"

Ron bent forward resting his elbows on his knees as he explained. "After she regained her memory of us dating, I started to wonder why it had been such a hard thing for her to remember. I blamed Drakken. I blamed Dr what's his name that invented that darn machine that wiped her memory in the first place. Later I blamed you, and then Ann and then way later, when I almost started to blame Kim, I realized who was really to blame. It was me. I hadn't been that good of a boy friend for her."

"I knew about being a "best friend" for her. I'd been doing that for years and had plenty of practice. But being a "boy friend" was something new and totally different. Asking her out on dates, inviting her to parties, remembering Valentine's day, taking her someplace other than Bueno Nacho to eat, bringing her things to let her know how I feel about her. If you'll remember I started doing those things shortly after that memory sitch. I'd bring her flowers or a little piece of jewelry, even if it was just something I got out of a vending machine. Something to remind her just how much I appreciate her and her company. Most of them were little things, but they were the things that a boy friend would do and I wouldn't have caught on to that if I hadn't gotten that wake up call. Without having gotten that, I might have just kept on not doing what I'd been not doing and we could have drifted apart. And I would have had no idea why. And I can't even imagine that now. Losing her because of me being so clueless."

"You think you almost broke us up James. I think you are the reason we've grown even closer together and why we are all here today. That why I said thank you. So please don't go home. We'll postpone the wedding if you do. I don't want anybody else to escort Kim down the aisle to me, other than you."

As James started to choke up, Ron added, "And please ask your brother to take off his Stetson and put on a yarmulke. Stetsons may be cool, but not for this occasion." When James looked up, he could see the big smile on Ron's face just before he pulled the young man into a hug and held him there.

Across the room, Drew looked in their direction and saw them like that. He nudged Donald and pointed it out and asked, "Donald, is that something you should be worried about?"

"I don't think so Drew. Not unless they start picking out china patterns together." And then he added, "But that's not at all what Ronald and I talked about this morning."

Please rememebr to stop by ~CaptainKodak1's Deviant Art page or drop him a PM here and offer your prayers for his son, Eric, who is recovering from a perforated colon. It kept him in the hospital over Christmas and I haven't heard or seen any up dates on his condition for about a week now.

If you have no idea what Ron and Wade were talking about outside the center, do a search on Utube for Doctor Who episodes "Blink" and then "The Angels Take Manhattan." (I always thought Amy and Rory were modeled after Kim and Ron.)
