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 26: Soothe the Beast

(In Las Vegas, Nevada)

Shego was indeed pretty pissed off as the tweebs made their way back to her. She wanted to know just what was so damn important that they'd knock HER down in the first place. Depending on their answer and whether she liked it or not, it would be then that she would decide if they merited a blast or two.

Then Shego remembers her promise that she'd made to Kim and if she wanted to be in the wedding she had to admit to herself that blasting Kimmie's younger brothers probably wasn't the best way to go about it.

After giving a very irritated sigh and tuning out her brother Hego's advice about going easy on them because they were just kids and that he was sure they meant no harm as well him saying that it was an accident along with a bunch of other things she knew perfectly well she turns her attention back to the tweebs standing in front of her.

Jim and Tim give her their best puppy dog pout that usually worked for them on their sister as they stare up at the taller, violent, flaming-hand person that usually tried to beat up their sister in the not-so distant past.

Shego rolls her eyes as she thinks, "They're trying the cute tactic…" but a moment or two of seeing the double whammy from them she mentally growls, "Damn! It worked!" She decides to not let them off too easily though and growls, "What do you think you're doing knocking me down!"

Jim says, "We were just in a hurry looking for" Tim says, "our sister, Kim because we have big news for her!"

Shego becomes curious as to what the big news could be that they'd risk knocking her down and facing her fury. She angrily says, "What big news? What are you two talking about?" She was used to her younger brothers the wegos talking like that so it didn't bother her as much as other normal people might be bothered by such talking style.

Jim looks at his brother with some trepidation about what to say next before getting a nod from Tim. He says, "We just learned that the next wedding" Tim says, "will be a big one for our sister!"

Hego smiles as he says, "That sounds like excellent news!"

Jim says, "Yeah! Some guy just called the room and offered his" Tim says excitedly, "Whole Island as a place for Kim's big wedding and security to boot!"

(Meanwhile)

Monique looks out the balcony of the hotel with Felix by her side and she lets out a heavy sigh.

Felix looks up at her and says, "What is it Monique?"

Monique says, "Oh, nothing…" Her eyes still distantly staring outward at the scene and though the chapel was as far away as the mayor could arrange, it was still a scar upon the otherwise beautiful scenery of Las Vegas.

Felix turns on the hover feature of his chair and floats up as he says, "I don't believe that. Why don't you tell me what's really going on in your mind?"

Monique continues to stare outward as she says, "Kim and Ron… they're on my mind if you really must know."

Being a smart one like his mother, he had had already a feeling that Monique's thoughts dwelled upon the couple. His own head had been abuzz with thoughts of the newly engaged couple.

Felix says, "What are your thoughts?"

Monique pauses to collect her thoughts and her feelings before she says, "You know for as long as I've known them. They seemed to be already like boyfriend and girlfriend even before they officially became one."

Felix nods as he says, "Yes, I noticed that too. They were practically inseparable."

Monique sighs as she says, "Even Bonnie said that once, of course she was trying to keep Erik from dating Kim at the time…"

Felix makes a low, disgusted sound before he says, "Erik… now there was a guy I can't believe we all fell for. That was a pretty good plan Drakken had that almost succeeded."

Monique turns to look at Felix as she says, "In a way, I am actually glad Drakken did it. It forced Kim and Ron to look at each other and realize the feelings that they had for each other. Feelings that I'm sure that Kim realized she had ever since the moodulator incident."

Felix hmms in thought for a moment before he says, "I remember Ron mentioning that once before. It was when they had their first mutual date."

Monique nods softly as she says, "Yes, but what I doubt Ron knew is that Kim's eyes were opened and her heart hurt."

Felix looks at Monique and with a blink he says, "Kim? The girl who can do anything? Did she ever know about Ron's feelings?"

Monique frowns a little and says, "What feelings? Kim seemed to think Ron didn't want a relationship with her and that's why he broke up with her."

Felix shakes his head and says, "Oh man… If they'd only talked about it. Ron-man was hurting pretty badly, he wanted her but he didn't feel he was ready or worthy of her. That's why he broke up with her."

Monique rolls her eyes and says, "Oh brother, those two were practically made for each other. He may not have felt he was ready but he was already 'unofficially' dating her with their best friend status. Besides, he already proved his worthiness a hundred times over."

Felix shrugs and says, "Maybe so to her, but not in his eyes. Remember, he was on the bottom of the pole at the school. Mediocre grades, unable to use his power anytime he wanted to help her, and he pretty much saw himself as a coward but what I think really held him back was that he thought Kim deserved better than him because she would be miserable with him."

Monique shouts, "What? I can't believe I'm about to say this, but that boy was thinking way too much!"

Felix chuckles and says, "I agree with you, even my girlfriend could tell that there was a bond between Kim and Ron that she knew she'd never be able to have with Ron. I think she knew that apart from each other, those two would be truly miserable because when she was dating him… guess what the number one topic of conversation was?"

Monique smirk-smiles at him as she says with confidence in her voice, "Kim…"

Felix nods as he chuckles again, "Right! She tried to keep the conversation away from her as much as possible but it got tiring. The only luck she had was whenever they talked about the game that they played. At least there, he had to admit that she wasn't into games like he was."

Monique nods as she knew that much about Kim as well, although she remembers that Kim did say she did surprisingly well at some zombie basher's game for a little while. She says, "Yeah, and I bet that's why they broke up."

Felix smiles a little as he says, "Yeah, but at least Ron was nice enough to introduce her to me and we hit it off right from the start. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have Zita as my girlfriend."

Monique looks down at the ground as she thinks, "I wish I had a boyfriend…" She looks up and meets Felix's eyes as she adds, "Felix is such a nice guy, I wish he was my boyfriend at times." She says, "She's a lucky girl to have you but we're straying from the topic."

Felix nods a little as he says, "Our friends, the happy couple." He looks out to the chapel and says with a kind of softness in his voice, "You know I truly wish them a long, happy life together. I'd give anything to ensure that they could live the rest of their lives together…"

Monique can sense it coming and she says, "But… what Felix?"

Felix says, "But I'm worried about our friends. When the chapel was coming down… all I could do was react, there was no time for me to even think about what was going on or what to do. All I could do was hope that I could somehow save them."

Monique places her hand upon his shoulder softly as she says, "And you saved them both, you should be very proud."

Felix nods before turning his head to look back at Monique as he says, "I am but during that time we were trapped it wasn't my robotics that I had faith in but those two. Somehow the faith that they shared in each other gave me the strength and I'd like to think, the strength of my robotics to save everyone against the impossible odds."

Monique smiles a little as her eyes become watery just a little, "Yeah… those two somehow have a way of making you believe that you can do anything."

Felix nods, "Yeah, and believe me that's why I can believe that those two can make this wedding happen. That they can make their marriage and life a good one no matter what the odds, despite whatever may come in their path."

Monique nods and pulls Felix into a hug as she whispers, "Yeah, me too…" tears flowing down her cheeks.

(Drakken's Lair)

Drakken works furiously at his workstation, alone except for the few henchmen that he had in his lair.

Ever since the TV broadcast he had been working like a man possessed. He had already used his considerable resources and research to find out exactly what had happened and what Shego was doing out there. Ok, so he cheated and called up Monkey Fist on the phone and called Team Go with a voice changer to find out about Shego becoming a bridesmaid but he still considered the voice changer idea to be pure genius.

Still, Drakken knew that he had to do something! He grumbles, "This was so much easier with Shego around to steal things for me…"

Drakken finishes his invention and he says, "Finally! After all that hard work I have finished my greatest invention ever!" A henchman walks up and taps him on the shoulder, thus surprising him and causing him to drop it where upon it hits the ground and shorts out with a little puff of smoke.

Drakken shouts angrily at the henchman, "Look what you made me do! What did you want that couldn't wait?"

The henchman says, "Sorry sir, but Bob at the communications board wanted me to tell you that you've got a call."

Drakken grumbles in frustration and says, "Fine! But clean up the mess you created in the meantime!"

The henchman looks down at the sputtering, sparking device on the floor and mentally sighs before he answers, "At once Dr. Drakken, Sir."

Drakken walks off still in a bit of a fit and he doesn't even really notice that after the henchman picks up the device it blows up loudly in the henchman's face. Nor does he even notice the sound of an unconscious body hitting the ground.

Drakken grumbles, "Who could be calling me now?"

(Back in Middleton)

Mr. Barkin was sitting in his home and reading the newspaper when he hears the doorbell being rung.

Letting out a heavy sigh as he'd just gotten settled in for a nice, peaceful time in his chair with nothing to do but read the newspaper and then perhaps settle in with a nice book until bedtime.

He walks over to his door and prepares his 'annoyed' face before he then opens the door and practically shouts in his irritated voice, "What is it?" without even looking.

Standing before him was his troop of little pixie muffin girls.

Blinking his eyes a few times in surprise, Mr. Barkin instantly feels bad about using such an attitude towards his own troop, as he was still their leader.

One of the little girls, a new one to join the troop looked like she was on the verge of tears with the way her eyes were starting to tear up and her lower lip was quivering.

Smacking himself in the face, Mr. Barkin instantly drops the attitude and says, "Please don't cry… um…Mint, was it? I'm sorry for shouting at all of you. I was just… oh never mind the reason."

The little girl with brown hair that went to her shoulders and green eyes sniffles a few times. She pulls back the tears somehow and nods to him before she softly says, "Ok" and pulls the little stuffed toy that she carried everywhere with her more comfortingly closer to herself.

Mr. Barkin mentally sighs and really hoped the little girl, the youngest member of the troop would be less emotional but despite that she was a very talented little girl as her badges on her vest could attest. In fact, he hadn't seen anyone so naturally talented since Kim, even if she was more like Ron in the fear department.

Switching to his most pleasant voice as a form of apology he says, "Sorry about that, so what can I do for you girls? It isn't time for our weekly meeting yet."

The oldest girl in the troop and the official troop leader when he wasn't around steps forward and says, "We want to talk to you about Ron and Kim."

Mr. Barkin raises his eyebrows in surprise and then being mindful of Mint he slowly says, "What about them Cindy?"

Cindy says, "Well, we were wondering if we can do something for them. They are members of the pixie girls after all."

Mr. Barkin frowns a little and says in surprise, "What? I'm not following you."

Another pixie girl named Tammy says more shyly than Cindy, "Well, you see… Kim Possible mentioned that she was a pixie girl that time we rescued her from that villain and you made Ron an honorary pixie girl."

Mint steps forward in small steps as she says in a meek voice, "Once a pixie girl, always a pixie girl… plus pixies stick together! Isn't that what you've always told us?"

Mr. Barkin nods as he says, "Yes, that is what I've always said but I don't see where all this is going. What is it that you want me to do?"

All the girls look at each other as if they're thinking, "Isn't it obvious?" before they turn to him and all say in a mixed chorus of voices, "We want to help with her wedding!" before Tammy adds, "Or at least be flower girls in her wedding…"

Mr. Barkin's jaw drops for a minute before he shakes his head and says, "What? How do you expect me to do that?"

A girl not much taller than Mint named Valerie steps up to the front and says, "Well, since you know them so well… we were kinda hoping you could ask them for us."

Cindy puts her hand on Valerie's shoulder as she says, "On our behalf… the whole troop's behalf."

Mr. Barkin was quite stunned at his little troop and he knew that they didn't ask lightly. He lets out a heavy sigh and says, "Fine, I'll ask them if you can help or be in the wedding.

All the girls break out into dancing and cheering, feeling like they were all guaranteed to be in the wedding now.

Mr. Barkin shouts above their loud cheering, "I said I'd talk to them! That doesn't mean they'll say yes!"

This gets them all to stop cheering before he says in his normal voice, "Now if there's nothing else I'd like to go back inside."

Tammy smiles up at him and says, "Thank you, and let us know soon please!"

Mr. Barkin nods and says, "You're welcome."

All the turns turn to walk away and Mr. Barkin watches them go before Mint stops suddenly and walks back to him.

Mr. Barkin looks down at the little girl and he says, "Yes? What is it?"

Mint holds out her toy and says, "Kiya wants to say thank you"

Mr. Barkin kneels down before her and even on his knees he was still taller than her eye level before he says, "Ok, you're welcome Kiya."

Mint surprises Mr. Barkin by jumping forward and giving him a big hug around his neck and a whisper, "Thank you" is barely heard in a tone that made him question whether it came from Kiya or Mint.

Mint lets go and waves quickly as she runs off to rejoin the troop girls who'd been waiting for her at the end of the sidewalk.

Mr. Barkin turns back into his house as he says, "How do I get roped into these things…"

AN: Well everyone, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. Sorry it took so long, I've been very busy lately. What do you think of the Shego and tweebs part? Do you think of the 'cute' tactic? Who do you think is offering to help Kim and Ron? Maybe the Mayor of New York? Lol! What do you think of the Felix and Monique scene? I felt I was kind of leaving them out of the story too much aside from a finding out and the first wedding attempt, which didn't really have big speaking roles. What do you think of what they talked about? Can you imagine such a scene where Ron did overly think about things? What do you think of Drakken's scene? Was it funny with what happened to the henchman? Who do you think is calling Drakken? What did you think of the Barkin scene? Was it funny or what? What do you think of their chances of joining/helping out with the wedding? Did you like the troop girls? What did you think of the final scene with Mint and Mr. B?

As usual all reviews, thoughts, ideas, suggestions, feelings, free movie tickets, and more are always welcome from everyone.
