Chapter 30: Too Crowded?

After the jet's engines powered down, Hego says to Mego, "We need to go inside and talk to Ron, it is of the utmost importance!"

Mego waves his hand dismissively as he says, "Yeah, yeah… can we get back to an important matter? Me? Do you know what I had to do on this mission? I doubt I'll ever get it back now!"

The Wego's say in stereo, "There's no time for this!"

Hego says in classic hero fashion, "The twins are right! I shudder to think what further evil Mrs. Stoppable would have wrought upon the world!"

Mego sighs as he softly says to nobody in particular, "I guess it couldn't be helped, Hego was bound to get all full of himself like usual…"

The Wego twins think together, "Who is full of who, I wonder?"

Hego presses a button which opens a door and he says, "Come, let us all go and tell the news!"

All of Team Go follows him out of the jet, only to be met by Kim, Ron and Yori after they had climbed down from Ron's room.

Kim says, "Hello Team Go! It has been a while!"

Ron waves as he smiles, "Hi guys, how's it shaking?" while Yori bows politely and says, "It is a pleasure to meet you all."

Hego raises his eyebrows in surprise as he says, "So it is true! You have really turned into a guy!"

Mego crosses his arms in front of him as he says, "Not much of a difference if you ask me, she was such a tomboy."

Kim growls softly as she didn't like anyone speaking bad of her Ron, even other good guys.

Hego says, "Mego! Show some consideration! Imagine how you would be if it happened to you!"

Kim thinks in her anger, "Mego would make an excellent Bonnie. He's already full of himself just like she is."

Ron waves a single hand up in the air as he smiles and says, "Oh, it is ok. Mego is right. I was a tomboy but no longer."

Everyone looks at Ron with confusion before Hego gives voice to what everyone is thinking, "What do you mean by that Ronnie? I'm sorry, I mean Ron. How are you no longer a tomboy?"

Ron looks around at everyone, wondering just how much to say for a few seconds before he says, "Well, for a while there I was divided as a boy and a girl existing in one body, but that problem's been fixed."

This only adds to the existing confusion for everyone except Kim. Her eyes grow wide as she remembers the question that she had asked Ron before he passed out on her.

Kim thinks, "No… could it be?" as she wonders if somehow during that time, Ron/Ronnie sorted things out?

Ron can see the confusion so he says just as the door to the house opens and the occupant walks out, "Well, I am now a guy in a guy's body. I am now Ronald Stoppable!"

Mego mutters, "Like there's any real surprise here."

Wego #1 says, "How did…" as Wego #2 says, "this happen?"

Kim moves closer to Ron as she says, "Ron… is this about… you know?"

Ron says, "I have Kim here to thank for this." He turns to Kim and says, "Kim, you were right… I was existing half boy and half girl because my girl side. The side you grew up with and knew for all our lives didn't want to leave you without a friend and have a stranger by your side."

Kim softly says, "Oh Ronnie…" Her eyes beginning to fill with tears as she is touched by her childhood friend's loyalty.

Ron shakes his head as he says, "She is here and yet she is gone Kim. She saw that you don't need her anymore. What you need is a boyfriend with a backbone enough to stand up for what he really wants."

Kim's voice quivers as she says, "My… friend is gone?"

Ron smiles in a goofy style that Kim had known Ronnie to always have before he says, "No KP, we simply united. She was still too girly to accept the idea of anything other than you and me as friends while she knew that the male me, Ron wanted more with you."

Kim says, "Ron… what does all this mean?"

Ron says as he looks directly into her eyes, seeming to forget the larger audience now, "It means Kim… that Ronnie and I have merged into one. We are both here and nothing will ever separate us. You and I, we are best friends. Ronnie has given me the parts that were missing in my male half for so long… It caused such confusion and inner turmoil, I didn't know who to be or which to be for you Kim."

Ron steps a little closer as he reaches out to her, placing his hands upon her shoulders as he says, "There were times, like at the beginning when you needed Ronnie to know you hadn't completely lost me, and other times when you needed Ron. Even then the two of us both wanted to be there for you but now that we're as one, we can both be there without any confusion, turmoil or regrets."

Ron tilts his head forward until his forehead is touching Kim's as he says softly, "We did it for you Kim. We became one, your Ron… and we both love you." His cheeks blushed as he admitted that but he felt better when he saw Kim's cheeks blush even a deeper color, making him feel better about his decision.

Kim says as she was truly and sincerely touched by everything Ron had said to her, "Oh Ron… I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner. I…" She is cut off by Ron's finger on her lips as he says, "Shhhh… Don't worry about it. You weren't ready for this moment any more than I was until now. Maybe now… we can be boyfriend/girlfriend…"

Kim's eyes never leave Ron's as her heart flutters and she says softly, "I'd really like that Ron."

It looks like Kim and Ron are about to kiss when Mego says, "This is all very nice and everything but I really want to talk about the scaring that Mrs. Stoppable gave me."

Like the sound of a very loud record scratching, the moment between Kim and Ron ceased to be as they pulled away from each other to say in stereo, "She did what?"

Wego #1 says, "Mego! You didn't have…" with Wego #2 finishing as he says, "to ruin such a wonderful moment!"

Hego turns to Mego and looks angrily at him as he says, "I always knew your "Me! Me! Me! Attitude was a problem but I always thought you had more tact than to ruin a moment!"

Ron says, "Wait a minute, how do you guys know my mother? I never introduced any of you to her!"

Mego grumpily says, "As Hego over there… he's the one who insisted on seeing her."

Meanwhile Yori watches how Kim seems to have moved into Ron's comfort zone and neither one of them seem to be the least bothered by it while they move towards the colorful people in weird costumes but staying close to each other.

She thinks, "Ron has made his decision, as has Kim made hers. I shall leave and report to Sensei what I have found after I am finished here." Her heart hurt within her chest as she had a feeling that she missed out on something great.

Hego nervously says, "Well… we heard about what happened with Ronnie from an anonymous source and decided to check into it. So we went to visit Mrs. Stoppable… your mother, Ron and… ahem" He finds himself unable to finish the rest of the tale.

Ron says a bit louder than necessary, "What? What happened with my mom?"

Mego says, "We took her to the Middleton Insanity Hospital, where the doctors have her locked up. I hope she spends forever in there, her words were really hurtful to me!" He rubs his cheek before he says, "Not to mention she's got a really mean punch!"

Ron's jaw was practically touching the ground and it seemed like it would stay there until Kim lifts his jaw back into place.

Kim says, "Why did you do that? Why did you come all the way from Go City just to lock her up in Middleton?"

Hego says, "We actually just came out to talk to her, to see if we could talk some sense into her and get her to release Ron from his forced girlfriend business and a few other things that she's done before now."

Wego #1 says, "She wouldn't cooperate at all!" Wego #2 says, "She went so far as to physically assault us!" Wego #1 says, "We've fought lots of villains before…" Wego #2 says, "but never a totally bonkers woman!" They then both say in stereo, "No offense, but she is totally nuts!"

Ron says in a bit of a panic, "What will I do? What should we do KP? I can't just leave my mother locked up in there!"

Suddenly a voice says rather calmly, "Why don't we Ronald?"

Ron turns in confusion to the source of the voice and sees that it came from none other than his father! He says in a stutter, "W-Wh-What? How-How can you even say that? She's your… wife! She's my mom!"

Mr. Stoppable says again in a calm voice, "Ronald, she's belonged in there for quite some time. I have just never had the strength to say anything or do what was needed to have her checked out."

Ron runs his hands through his hair for a moment before he cries out, "What? So you're just going to leave her there? Who'll do the laundry? Who'll cook?"

Mr. Stoppable says, "I can do the laundry and if I may say this as only a father can but you're a far better cook than she ever was Ron." He walks up to Ron and places his hand over Ron's shoulder before he says, "Who knows, maybe she'll finally get the help she deserves and sees that what she did to you was wrong."

Ron's shoulders slump as he looks downward and says in a low voice, "I guess so… but I'm still stuck with Bonnie for a girlfriend…"

Mr. Stoppable smiles gently before he says, "About that… I believe it is time for you choose your own girlfriend. She only wanted to make a man out of you and if she could see you now, I think she'd agree that you have become a fine young man."

Ron raises his head up to look at his father in surprise and says, "You mean it? I don't have to have Bonnie as my girlfriend any longer?"

Mr. Stoppable slowly grins as he says, "Not unless you still want her as your girlfriend…"

Ron cries out as he turns to grab Kim by the hands and starts to dance, "BOOOOOO-YAAAAAHHHH! Ding-Dong, the witch is dead!" He starts to laugh as he dances around his front yard, with Kim laughing and dancing with Ron.

Yori giggles as she watches Ron bounce around with Kim on the yard.

The dancing goes on for a few minutes before settling down and then Ron turns to give his father a great big hug as he says, "Thank you! This is the best thing to have happened to me since I became a guy!"

Ron then stops and says, "Wait, what will she say when she finds out?"

Mr. Stoppable smiles a little and says, "Don't worry about that, I think we can tell her after she's released. I'll make sure she understands that I did what was best while she was locked up." He didn't add that he thought that might be a while and can see that Ron was under the impression it would be not too long.

Ron is all smiles and says, "Thank you Hego! Thank all of you! Thank your mysterious tip for me too!"

Hego nods as he says, "Um… You're welcome! I'll try!"

Mego grumbles and says, "Can we get out of here already?"

Kim says, "Wait… can I talk to you privately for a moment Hego?"

Hego nods and says, "Certainly Miss Possible."

Hego and Kim walk over to the jet, away from Ron and everyone else even as Mr. Stoppable says, "So son… have you given any thought as to who you want for a girlfriend?"

Ron's eyes immediately move to where Kim is just out of earshot and he says softly, "Yes, I have…"

Mr. Stoppable pats Ron on the back and says, "Then ask her already, maybe the two of you can go to the Prom even?"

Ron's eyes go wide as he imagines dancing with Kim at what would sure to be the biggest moment of their lives before they became seniors. He softly gulps and says, "I-I-I don't know… going to the prom as-as-as a date thing… I don't know if we're ready for that."

Yori walks up and says, "Pardon me, I do not mean to eavesdrop but I couldn't help overhearing. If I may speak, I believe that the two of you are ready to go on a date as a couple. You two have already gone through more than many couples and your friendship has never faltered, only persevered and grown stronger because of it."

Ron looks nervously at Yori, then his father, as they both seem to be feeling very confident that this was something that the two of them were ready for. This only made him feel even more nervous at first before he turns to look at Kim and then something inside him gave him the strength to accept that the two of them could not only go on a date, but to his first dance with Kim.

Ron thinks, "Thank you for the strength to himself" before he smiles as he says to no one in particular, "Yeah! Why can't I ask KP to be my girlfriend? Why can't our first date be a dance? I'm going to go for it!"

Mr. Stoppable says, "Go for it Ron! We're all behind you a hundred percent!"

Yori says, "Your father is correct, I shall be rooting for the two of you!"

Ron smiles as he looks at the two of them and says, "Thank you guys!" Before both of the Wego's say, "We're rooting for you too Ron! Go get her!"

Ron turns to Kim as it appears that whatever conversation she was having with Hego was drawing to a close and he waits nervously for Kim to walk back over to him as he thinks, "Kim, will you be my gf? Will you go to the prom with me?" over and over at a quick pace within his mind.
