Car Alarm Surprise

AN: Ever wonder what might have happened if Ron hadn't lost his courage in the episode "Car Alarm?" Well, wonder no more.

Chapter 14B: Wedding Plans

(Possible Home)

Anne cries out, "Mom? What are you doing here?"

Carmen says, "What? I can't come and visit my granddaughter who is getting married to um…" She turns to Ron and says, "What's your name again blondie?"

Ron says, "I'm Ron Stoppable." After a pause he says with confusion, "Wait, who are you?"

Carmen says, "I'm Carmen Wheeler, Anne's mother and I'm here for the wedding silly."

Ron looks at Anne and says, "What? Mrs. Dr. P, is she really your mother?"

Anne nods and sighs as she says, "Yes Ronald, she is my mother. She just hasn't been around very much. She has chosen to seclude herself ever since my father…" She is cut off when Carmen says, "Now's not the time to rehash the past Anne."

Kim says, "Is… is it really you?"

Carmen turns to Kim with a big smile and says, "My… you've grown up so much since I last saw you. You were only knee high to your mother I think when I saw you last."

Kim says, "Yeah, it was just after Jim and Tim were born."

Ron suddenly remembers something and says, "Wait… KP, is that the woman you were so excited about meeting about when we were in Pre-K?"

Carmen says, "So you mentioned me to him?"

Kim nods and says, "Well, yeah… he was my best friend back then."

Carmen raises an eyebrow and says, "He was your best friend even that far back?"

Before Kim can answer Ron enthusiastically says, "Yep! We were best friends from the very moment we met!"

Kim smiles sweetly at Ron as she says, "That's right. We became the best of friends on that day."

Carmen walks towards Ron and stops when she is standing before him. Even though she wasn't any taller than Anne, she made Ron feel like something under a microscope with the way that she was giving him that analyzing look.

Ron nervously says, "Is… something wrong?"

Nana sternly says, "Oh for heaven's sake! Give the poor boy some space, you're scaring him!"

Carmen narrows her eyes at him for a moment before she steps back and turns her head to look at Nana. She says, "I am just checking out the boy. I don't know anything about him and I want to make sure he is going to be good enough for my granddaughter!"

Ron lets out a breath he'd been holding and thinks, "Whew!"

Nana frowns and starts towards Carmen as she says, "She is more MY granddaughter than yours! You haven't seen her since she was a child while I've seen her many times."

Slim says, "Now, ah reckon that we shouldn't be starting no feud over who's seen who more. The most important thing is that we're all here now right?"

Nana says, "Stay out of this Slim!" She then jabs a finger at Carmen as she says, "You caused enough trouble the last time you showed up for a Possible wedding and we don't need any more for this one!"

Carmen says, "What kind of name is 'Slim' for a son?" She bats at the finger pointing at her face as she says, "Get that out of my face or I'll…" She is cut off when Anne screams, "ENOUGH!"

Both Nana and Carmen fall quiet but not without giving each other a harsh glare at each other.

Anne takes a breath and says, "Ok, weddings are supposed to be happy occasions, not shouting matches. If you can't get along, then neither of you will be invited to the wedding and I think either of you wants that."

Carmen says, "You wouldn't! You'd keep your own mother out of your only daughter's wedding?" She turns to Kim and says, "Tell your mother just how absurd that is! Then we can talk about your husband to be."

Kim crosses her arms in front of her, and to those that knew her best, that meant Kim was not going to budge from what came out of her mouth next. She says, "First of all, I think my mom has a good point. Weddings are supposed to be civil occasions, not shouting matches. If no one can behave themselves, then they simply won't be invited and if they are, I expect them to be on their very best behavior because the first one who tries to ruin my wedding will be ejected so fast it'll make their head spin!" She pauses to take a breath and then narrows her eyes as she says, "Second of all, just what did you mean by talking about my husband to be? Do you have some sort of problem with Ron?"

Carmen says, "He just looks so… goofy. Are you sure you're happy? I only want the very best for you honey."

Kim slowly balls a hand into a fist against her arm, keeping her arms crossed as she was getting real tired of people talking about her husband to be like that. She wonders why no one could understand that she chose him because she loved him with all her heart and soul? She says in an angry tone of voice, "Yes Grandma, I am very happy with Ron and I won't put up with anyone talking bad of him. He's been with me all my life and I want to spend the rest of my life with him as well. You can just stay here if you're just going to be judging the man I love."

Carmen says, "But I don't know anything about him, how am I supposed to get to know him if I can't even look at him?"

Anne says, "Mother, I think what you should do is talk to Ron. Don't just judge him by his looks. He has so much to offer and he just may very well surprise you."

Carmen says, "Well the news people certainly didn't seem to think very much of him. They didn't even seem to be able to agree on what his name was half the time! All the rest of the talk was centered on her exploits, half of which I don't really see as believable or possible. Maybe if your father was still around, he would be able to sort out the fact from the fiction and then I could get some straight answers."

Joss runs up and says, "I can tell you ever' thing you could ever want to know about him. I know all about his missions and just how many times he has saved Kim and the world!"

Carmen looks down at her and says, "And you are…?"

Joss blinks in surprise and says, "Ah'm Jocelyn Possible, but everyone just calls me "Joss" as onna account it sounds like "Just" and I'm just a Possible. My daddy's the one my Nana called "Slim" but that ain't his real name either, it is Samuel and he's…"

Carmen interrupts Joss as she says, "Yes, because he's so slim. I get that. The man could really use some fattening up."

Joss does a soft, but frustrated growl at Carmen and says, "You really should be respecting Ron because he is my cousin's soul mate and if there's no stronger bond than that, it is ah bond like that!"

Carmen looks down at Joss in thought, wondering if the girl that she'd never even heard of before could be right about it. She hadn't sensed any coercing or duplicity coming from Ron. Just a whole lot of nervous fear about something. She just couldn't believe her granddaughter would choose someone so… weak. It just didn't make any sense to her.

Carmen was smart enough to see that Kim was definitely very serious about marrying him. She would stay quiet and reserve judgment until she got to know him better and decides to play along and see how much information that she could get about the blond boy. In her eyes, he wasn't a man yet and only when she got enough facts to see him as such, would she feel happy enough with Kim's decision.

Carmen says, "Very well… I'll listen and hold back any decisions until I get to know the blond boy better."

Anne knew that her mother was just going to make things difficult but at least she would be more manageable until she made up her decision. She only prayed that it would be the right one where Ron was accepted as she didn't want another fiasco like at her own wedding where Carmen had been the only one to speak up when the priest had spoken the part 'if anyone has any reason why as to why these two should not be married… let them speak now or forever hold their peace.' She hadn't been too happy with the chaos that had erupted after the woman had spoken her mind, she was only thankful that her father managed to get her to shut up and tell the priest to continue.

Anne sighs inwardly as she also knew that having Nana and her mother around in the same room was going to be trouble as well. To say that Nana had not taken a liking to having her son spoken badly of at the wedding was quite the understatement and it looked like some feelings were still there.

Kim grabs Ron's hand and pulls him quietly towards an exit and without saying anything back Ron nods before following her with his hand still in hers.

Once in another room, Kim turns to Ron and says, "Sorry about that Ron… I hope she didn't bother you too much."

Ron smiles at Kim and says, "Hey, as my badical wife-to-be is so fond of saying, "No Big!" After all, if you can put up with my cousin and his iguana, then I can certainly deal with your grandma."

Kim smiles back at Ron and gives him a big hug and kiss before she pulls back and says, "Thanks Ron"

Ron returns the smile and reaches out to her, running his fingers along her cheek as he says, "No big deal, I love you Kim and nothing is ever going to change that. I'm yours until the end of time."

Kim and Ron lean in for another kiss when suddenly the sound of loud shouting followed by a crash is heard. Together as one, they turn and head towards the sound to make sure that everyone is all right.

(Prison)

Drakken plays some checkers with Pyro Pete instead of his motor-mouthed cell mate for a change, giving him a chance to actually think for a bit instead of hearing him blab on forever about things that he didn't really care to hear about.

Pyro Pete, a villain who loved all things hot and fiery. His yellow hair stood up on its end with red going through the last two inches or two, giving the illusion that his hair was continuously on fire. He had black eyes like coal and probably the most normal looking thing about him. His skin was a light red, giving him that sunburned look that Drakken thought looked ridiculous.

Much like his look, Pyro Pete's personality was a volatile one. One moment he could be like a small flame like on a birthday candle and the next he could be a raging inferno. Even with all these quirks, to Drakken it was FAR better than his cellmate's infernal talking.

At the moment Pyro Pete was on some of his medication to keep him calm and on top of that he was doing fairly well at checkers even if Drakken was winning at the moment.

One of the big security guards walks by with another, talking as if the prisoners around them didn't even exist which was fine for Drakken as he liked to pretend they didn't exist either. However, this time what one of them said caught his interest.

Guard one says, "I tell you, I never thought I'd see the day Kim Possible would be getting married."

Guard two says, "I agree, I just thought she'd be fighting the good fight forever."

Drakken jumps up and shouts, "Kim Possible is getting married? To WHO? When did this happen?"

Guard one says, "Where've you been buster? It is all over the news. Kim Possible is marrying her sidekick."

Guard two says, "What'd they say his name was again? Every time I hear about her engagement the name seems to change a bit."

Guard one says, "Boy, it is a good thing for you that I've actually met them before. His name is Ron Stoppable. He's a good guy, and his pet mole rat is pretty cool too."

Drakken shouts, "What? She's going to marry the sidekick? I mean I knew they were dating but I thought she'd get tired of him and of his habit for losing his pants all the time!"

Guard two chuckles at that and says, "Maybe she that's why she wants to marry him. She likes the package under his pants. Eh?" He winks and pokes at Drakken with an elbow.

Drakken growls and pushes the elbow away as he grumbles at the guard, "Stop that! No touching!" He starts to walk off and is stopped when Pyro Pete calls out, "Hey! What about our game?"

Drakken says, "Later! I must find out more about this! It doesn't make any sense for my teenage arch-nemesis to be getting married!" Then he adds in his thoughts, "I wonder if they'll invite me to the wedding? Ngh, they probably know I couldn't make it while I'm in jail anyway. Looks like I'll have to plan a way to escape sooner than I thought."

Kim and Ron look at the scene in disbelief. For a change the tweebs were the ones not in trouble with something breaking.

Anne was holding back her mother while James and Slim were trying to hold back Nana.

Kim says, "What's going on here?"

Tim and Jim comes running up and says, "We didn't do it!" in their stereo speak.

Kim says, "What happened here? Did you two say something?"

Tim shakes his head and says, "Uh-uh! We didn't say anything!"

Jim says, "Nana said something and then…"

Tim says, "Everything just went crazy!"

Ron moves away from Kim and goes over to help Anne and just as she manages to get by her he steps in front of her, effectively blocking her path.

Carmen angrily says, "Get out of my way!"

Ron shakes his head and says, "Afraid I can't do that."

Nana shouts, "Let her come, I'll kick her evil butt all the way back to her wicked cave!"

Joss says, "Well don't this beat all for a family reunion?"

James says, "Calm down mother, you know I don't tolerate any fighting in my home."

Carmen hits Ron in the face hard enough for his face to turn and that's when everyone stopped.

Kim cries out, "Ron! Are you ok?"

Ron turns his head and wipes a small bit of blood from his lip and says, "Yeah, I'm ok KP."

Carmen says with indignity, "Well that's what you get for being in my way blondie! I want to teach that woman over there to watch what she says about me!"

Everyone was still quiet as they could see that Ron was starting glow blue and they didn't know what to make of it.

Kim starts to walk towards Ron when Carmen says, "Honestly, Kim… what are you thinking of marrying him? He doesn't seem all that…" She trails off as Ron's blue glow reaches it's peak with his hair and clothes flapping about wildly.

Carmen says, "Wha… What are you? How are you doing that?"

Tim says, "Cool! We get to see Ron's…" Jim says, "Mystical monkey power!" before they both say, "Awesome!"

Carmen says in confusion, "His what?"

Ron makes the ground rumble around his feet before he says, "You're not coming to the wedding." His blue glow fading immediately after he says that.

Carmen says, "What? You can't say that! You're not even part of this family yet!"

Kim takes Ron's arm and entwines it with hers, gently holding his hand in hers before she says firmly, "Actually, he can. He speaks for the both of us. I don't want anyone to ruin my wedding and since you and Nana can't get along like civil beings. In fact, I'm going to let Ron have the say on whether you can come to either of my weddings."

Ron's face shows some surprise for a moment before he smiles at Kim and gives her hand a soft squeeze.

Carmen's face drops and she says, "You… you can't be serious!" She turns to Anne and says, "Tell her that she can't do that!"

Anne looks away as she says, "It is their wedding. Lord knows I can't change Kim's mind about anything once she's made up her mind. You're on your own mother."

Carmen turns back to Kim and says, "We're family, you've got to have me there. Please reconsider."

Kim looks over at Ron and says, "Sorry, the one you have to convince isn't me, but Ron. So if you really want to be there at my wedding I suggest you start by apologizing."

Carmen was taller than Ron or Kim but at that moment she felt about as small as a smurf.

Carmen sighs deeply and looks Ron in the eyes as she says, "I… I'm sorry for striking you Ron. I hope you can forgive me. I was just so… furious at Nana over what she said that I wasn't thinking straight."

Everyone holds their breath to see what Ron will say without even realizing they are doing it. A few ticks past before Ron finally says, "I suppose you can come if you and Nana behave. Otherwise, I will have to kick the both of you out of the wedding."

Nana gasps and says, "You wouldn't!"

Carmen didn't want to miss her granddaughter's wedding and from the scene she saw before her, she doubted that Kim or Ron would ever divorce as strong as their unity was.

Carmen says, "Ok… I promise to do my best to be civil. Just as long as she doesn't purposely try to rile me anymore."

Nana glares at Carmen and it is obvious that she was holding back a few angry words before she steps back, slipping out of the grips of James and Slim before she says, "I promise as well. I don't want anything to ruin Kimberly's wedding just like…" She bites back the rest of her words even though it was obvious that she was going to say something about Carmen ruining another's wedding.

Joss says, "Amazin'! You did what no one else could do Ron!"

Everyone just turns to look at Joss as she grins and says, "Youse got the two of the to be quiet for the first time!"

Anne makes a suppressed laughing sound, which is then followed by Jim and Tim. It isn't long before everyone is laughing in the Possible house.

AN: Well everyone, I hope you liked this chapter. It is longer than the last one. I've been having net problems so forgive me for uploading it so late. So, on to the questions! What did you think of Carmen's arrival? What did you think of the way Carmen treated Ron? What do you think of the tension between Carmen and Nana? What do you think of Ron getting angry and using his mmp? (even if it did fizzle out) What do you think about Kim in this chapter? Pretty clever solution to the problem isn't it? What did you think of the fact that Carmen didn't know Joss? Do you think Carmen might wreck Kim's wedding? Did anyone catch the smurf reference after I used the 'blue' mmp? Did you like Drakken's reaction to learning of Kim and Ron's engagement? Do you think Drakken will escape? What did you think of Pyro Pete? What did you think of the two guards? What did you think of the guard that remembered Ron's name correctly? Looks like people are beginning to know the name more and more doesn't it? Any ideas what will happen in the next chapter? Any thoughts?

As usual with my chapters all reviews, all ideas, thoughts, suggestions, remarks, questions, drawings of any of the characters such as Pyro Pete, and more are always welcome.
