Unofficial Ending
After their first official date, Ron has never felt so happy in his life. He finally could say that he is no longer single and is dating one of the most beautiful girls in Middleton High and she's not even a cheerleader. No, she is Monique Williams. When he first met her, he had no idea that their friendship would lead to where they are now especially with rumors that he and Kim would end up dating at some point. It took an incident where he saved her from some freaky monster and receiving a thank you kiss in return that allows Ron to see her in a different light. While he realizes how smart, funny, attractive, and importantly saw more to him than that meets the eye, Ron takes a bold step into asking her out on a date which almost didn't happen
It took an incident where he saved her from some freaky monster and receiving a thank you kiss in return that allows Ron to see her in a different light. After realizing how smart, funny, attractive, and importantly seeing more in him than that meets the eye, Ron takes a bold step into asking her out on a date which almost didn't happen due to him forgetting to set up the occasion in advance. However, thanks to unintentional help from Kim he avoids a disaster and creates a memorable night for Monique as well as his self and wins her heart in the process. The next day the new couple hung out and enjoyed their time together even it involved Ron having to watch Monique shop for the both of them
The next day the new couple spent time and enjoyed their time together, even though it included Ron having to watch Monique shop for the both of them. However, when Sunday hit, that's when Ron's mind drifts towards an important detail; school. Of course, Monique wasn't like Bonnie as far as caring for the food chain, but at the same time, she never had to deal with the harassment that he has put up with and wonders what will happen if Bonnie makes life miserable for Monique since the two are now dating. Assuming the worst, Ron decides to call her to address the elephant in their new relationship.
Monique: Nacho boy?
Ron: Hey Monique is this an awful time to call?
Monique:*Yawns* If you ignore the fact that I was currently getting my beauty sleep on, then no now isn't a lousy time.
Ron: Oh man it is pretty late I must have lost track of time. I'm sorry I woke you up."
Monique: It's not a big deal. Are you okay, you sound trouble?
Ron: What oh no the Ron-man is cool. You can go back to sleep.
Monique: Ron I can tell that you are keeping something from me and unlike Kim, I'm not going to be a good girl about getting the truth out of you. So tell me.
Ron: Um is there a way I can come over quick?
Monique: Ron I know we just started dating and all but I'm not that type of girl...
Ron: No not that way I just mean this is a conversation I should have with you in person instead of on the phone and I would like to have it before school. I promise to make it quick so that we won't get caught.
Monique:*sighs* Okay but make it fast, unlike Kim's parent's mines wouldn't be so kind about seeing a guy in my room.
Ron: Okay I'm heading there now.
Hanging up the phone, Ron tugs in a sleeping Rufus and throws on his mission clothes, in case he gets caught he could attempt to say he was coming in from a mission, before heading to Monique's house. After some time, Ron arrivals at his destination and uses his mad skills to sneak up to Monique room where she smiles upon seeing him and opens the window for him to come in.
"Um, Hi." Ron greets her shyly.
"Hey, yourself. Is there something on my face?" She questions by the way he is staring at her.
Ron snaps out of his daze and quickly answers her. "Other than your natural beauty, no."
Slightly blushing from his response, Monique helps him in her room. "Smooth but that won't get you out of the topic at hand. What's going on in that head of yours?"
The two sit on the bed where Ron explains what's wrong. "Honestly I have been thinking about how things will be like once the school figures out that we are an item. It's one thing for me to deal with Bonnie's harsh comments and at times get bully because of the way I act and that I'm in the bottom of the food chain. Once people find out that you're dating me, then you might get mistreated or made fun of in the school. I don't want that for you so if you change your mind about us then... I understand, and I appreciate you going out with me for it will go down as one of the best nights of my life."
Ron finishes with a sad smile with the idea that once Monique processes his reasoning, she will want to end things and just remain friends. While Ron deep down didn't want that, he figures she would be better off not dealing with food chain drama that would come upon her.
Out of nowhere after giving him a long stare, Monique gives him a slap on his cheek surprising him a lot. "Um ow?" Ron could only say not understanding why she just slaps him like that.
Glaring at him, Monique responds saying, "That's for believing that I would give a crap about what people will say or do when they learn about our new relationship. Do I keep up with the latest gossip at school, yes? Do I have a passion for keeping up with the latest style in clothing, yes? However, have I ever been known as a shallow girl especially when it came to you?"
Ron could only shake his head in an attempt to not angry Monique any more than she is now. "Exactly, and if you think I'm about to let your insecurities to break out and cause you to push me away that easily you are wrong. This relationship, between you and me, in a way, is an investment that I want to grow into something more and I will refuse to let people determine who I date. Actions speak louder than words and you Ron Stoppable have proved that not only you are stepping up for you but that you have what it takes to make a lucky girl happy, well in this case me." Monique takes Ron's hand into hers hoping that she got her message across to him.
In the past, Monique at times wonder how did Ron do it, be his self with his never be normal motto yet receive the type of treatment he got with Kim barely doing anything to help stop the negativity towards him. Tonight has allowed her to realize that despite him being him being his self, Ron secretly does wear a mask that hides his insecurities and the pain of feeling like a loser as Bonnie claims he is.
"Do you mean all that?" Ron asks in a soft tone. Monique could tell going forward at least in the beginning stage of them dating that Ron would need more than just words as far as assurance goes. She reached out with both hands cupping Ron's face and pressed her lips to his.
Once the confronting kiss ended, the two rest their foreheads on top each other with Monique smiling from how great Ron's lips feel. "Does that answer your question Baby boy?" She says in a loving tone.
"Yes it does and Baby boy huh? No more Naco boy?" He slightly smirks getting a little giggle from his girlfriend, which sounded badical in his head.
"Trust that there will be moments I call you Naco boy when you are silly or something like that, but since we a couple now expect to hear Baby boy for you since it fits you better."
They stayed in their current position for a little longer until Ron speaks up being the voice of reason. "I guess I better go before we get in trouble."
Monique sighs in disappointment for she did not want the moment to end. "As much as I would want to disagree with you, your right beside tomorrow is a big day for us." Referring to the fact that the school will learn about the two being together, not that she cares if people knew or not but because it's Ron of course word will get around fast enough.
"Very true. In that case, good night Ms. Williams." Ron said in his smooth tone
"Goodnight Mr. Stoppable." The two share a quick good night kiss before Ron takes off and heads home both feeling happy.
*Monday*
Monday morning finally has come as Ron wakes up feeling anxious about how today will go. Having to remind his self that Monique has his back, Ron puts on a decent outfit that is different from his usual attire, eats a light breakfast, and heads over to Kim's where his best friend and girlfriend would be waiting for his arrival.
After doing his standard greeting to the Possible family, Monique takes a moment to compliment her boyfriend choice in clothes for today. "Mmmm Baby boy looking mighty fine today."
Ron's face nearly went full red by the expression and tone that Monique sent his way. "Thanks. Glad you like it." Ron responds shyly with Kim rolling her eyes in amusement before pushing the couple out of the door. "Okay, you two lovebirds let's head to school before things get super-hot around here."
The three travel up to the school with Ron and Monique arm to arm. When they made it, Kim turns to the two asking, "You guys ready for this?"
"As ready as I ever am I guess," Ron mutters earning him a playful elbow jab from Monique.
"Oh don't be such a baby, we got this and if anything we would make COTM." Monique cheers leaving Kim and Ron to look at her strangely.
"Say what?" Both Ron and Kim and said in unison.
Kim pointed at Ron instantly and said, "Jinx you owe me a soda." Ron only could groan that he didn't beat her to the punch.
"Um, Couple of the month?" Monique expresses as if it was a common slang, well to her it was, with Kim and Ron nodding their heads thinking that makes sense. At this point, Ron takes a deep breath and prepares to walk in the building with his arm hook to Monique, but to his surprise, Monique stops him to take his hand into his.
"You sure?" Ron questions her with uncertainty.
She gives him a kiss on the cheek and tells him, "Positive Baby Boy. Let's do this." Kim could only smile watching her two friends finding each other like this.
In the past, she never would of expect the two to like each other let alone end up dating. At first, Kim couldn't help but feel concern for two reasons. One was Monique's real intention towards her best friend, but the night the first kiss happen Monique was straight up honest about everything so that help calm her thoughts. The second issue that honestly slightly bothers her is Ron and their friendship going forward since Ron will more than likely put Monique first before her but does that mean that she will lose him as their relationship continues to grow? All she can do now, for the time being, is to support him just like he did with Josh.
The three finally enters the building heading to their lockers while the students who just so happen to be near them slowly eyes begin to watch Ron and Monique walk together holding hands in shock. Monique could hear some whispers yet continue to walk proudly to her locker alongside Ron. Once they stop at Monique's locker, Ron steps up to assist his girlfriend with gathering her books.
"Here let me help with that." Ron takes a book from her.
Monique smirks at his actions and playfully says, "Thank you Baby Boy."
Catching on to her banter, Ron responds saying, "Hey, I wouldn't be a good boyfriend if I didn't carry my bon diggity girlfriend's books to class am I right?" Monique chuckles in a way that causes the students who watch the display to feel even more shock at the new couple. Kim watches from a distance laughing in her head at everyone reaction before grabbing a few of her stuff.
"Is it true that Ron and Monique are now an item?" A familiar voice catches Kim's attention. She turns around to see Tara standing behind her who also seen the interaction between Ron and Monique.
"Yes, Tara they are. They got together this past weekend." Kim answers honestly.
"Oh okay. Well, Monique is a lucky girl to have a guy like Ron." Tara said looking down, and Kim could already tell why.
"I'm sorry Tara, I know you had a crush on him in the past but..." She begins to say knowing about Tara's crush towards her best friend until Tara speaks up to stop her.
"No Kim is okay. It's my fault for not making it known to him about my feelings especially when he didn't catch on after he save us from that Gil freak. I wish I weren't so shy about confessing, but it's too late. I just need to hope that things between him and Monique work out though if it doesn't maybe I will have enough courage to go after him finally." Tara explains to Kim, feeling better that she got that off of her chest.
Placing a hand on her shoulder Kim gives Tara some friendly advice. "You could still try to be friends with him Tara so you can get to know him better. Even with you finding him attractive you don't know him that well, and I'm sure he could use real people like you in his life."
"True." Tara considers the idea as she and Kim walk to class. Later on in the day word spread about the new couple pretty quick and slowly Ron grew unfazed by it not because of the attention but being with Monique help kept his mind occupied from what people were saying until lunch time.
"I can't believe you are dating this loser!"
Ron groans hearing Bonnie Rockwaller approach the couple as they were taking their seats with Kim and Tara not too far behind in the scene. "Hello to you too Bonnie."
Bonnie ignores him and continues her rant. "Monique while you're obviously not high on the food chain like me, I never thought your standards was that cheap, but I guess considering no guy has approach you up to this point it makes sense that you would give false hope to Stoppable something that K couldn't even do right."
Kim was about to go off right there, but Monique raises her hand letting her know she will handle this since she prepares for this moment. "Excuse me I know you are not talking about lowering standards when you keep going for the same guy who Kim at times had her eyes on."
"It's true Bonnie whatever it was Josh or Brick you would try to date them just to keep them from me." Kim chimes in the conversation.
Before Bonnie could get a word out Monique beats her to the punch and gets in her face. "As far as false hope goes, the only false that's being spread is your so call obsession that being on top of the food chain makes you better than everyone else and supposedly give you right to talk down to others. Which leads to the main topic at hand, Kim might let you slide on a consistent basis on talking negative towards my man in the past, but that ends starting now. If I hear you put him down with your negative comments me and you are going to have problems do, I make myself clear?!"
To everyone surprise, Bonnie backs away and only says, "Crystal."
"That also applies to any chicks out there that come after Ron's self-esteem as well!" Monique announces to everyone and sits back down beside Ron, who mouth drop wide open in disbelief at what he just witness. He couldn't even recall a time that Kim shut Bonnie down the same way that she did.
"You should close your mouth before flies get inside." She jokes getting Ron to focus back on her.
"Monique you didn't have to do that, not saying I don't appreciate you standing up for me but I can deal with Bonnie's usual rants." He points out.
"I am fully aware you are capable of allowing her to talk down to you however as your girlfriend that will no longer tolerate understood?" She said in a serious tone and sending him a glare that makes him gulp nervously.
"Yes mam."
"Good because you're worth fighting for baby boy and I have your back going forward, now I don't know 16 styles of Kung-Fu, but I can learn some moves from Kim."
Ron rubs the back of his head thinking of Monique learning fight moves from Kim. "Hopefully there won't be a need for them claws to pop out."
"Oh there might be a reason, but that involves me and you alone time. Meow!" She flirts with, changing her whole mood instantly.
Ron blushes at this but in his mind all he can say as far as his girlfriend concern, "What can I say, that's so Monique, and I can get used to it." Once the day at school ends, the new couple along with Kim and Tara head out to Bueno Naco where the two ladies witness a Nacho eating challenge between Ron and Monique.
AN: So there you have it, the school's reaction to Ron and Monique as a couple. Now at this point, this is a nonofficial stopping point to this story. Meaning if I update the story going forward, it will be more one-shot like chapters of the couple rather than a full story. I do not promise frequent updates, for now, this is a whatever I feel like writing a chapter for this story otherwise this is the main story ending for now.
Honestly, writing this pairing was a bit of a challenge, because as much as I wonder what a relationship between Ron/Monique would be like, it's not much to her character on the show past her strong sense of fashion, unique slangs, and the few same interest as Ron like wrestling and eating but no nacho. So again if any future updates happen, it will more likely just be one shot that will follow this story with no major plot unless I get the urge to come up with one.
To those who made not be aware, I have a poll up for my future Ron story so check that out and vote. Lastly thank you to all who follow, favorite, and review this story.
