Chapter 10 - Best Comedy and Best Romance

"And welcome back, everybody!" Sharper said as the song ended and the longtime author came back onto the stage. "Our next awards presenter is a legend of making KP GIFs sets...or JIFs, as I have been told by some. Please welcome Courtney aka Drakkenville!"

Courtney made her way to the stage in a baby blue diamond dress and teardrop earrings. She had the envelope and Golden Rufus in her hands.

"Hey everyone! I'm so honored to be here to present the story that gives the biggest laughs!" she explained. "Tonight's nominees for Best Comedy are..."

Picture This by MrDrP

XVII.

It took every scintilla of self-control Bonnie could muster to not whip out her camera phone the moment Kim and Ron entered the room. However, she knew she couldn't do that and so focused on her exam, completing her test before Kim and Ron finished theirs.

Bonnie was waiting in the corridor, her camera phone discreetly positioned. When Kim and Ron left Barkin's classroom, Bonnie was able to shoot quite a few pictures.

XVIII.

Later that evening, curled up on a sofa in the lair, Bonnie and Shego cackled with glee as they looked at the images of Kim and Ron. Especially those of Kim.

For while pictures of a bald Ron Stoppable, whose large ears stood out even more than usual, were amusing, pictures of Kim Possible with a Mohawk were simply priceless.

Shego and Bonnie embraced and shared a victory kiss. Then they got up, went to Shego's computer and uploaded the picture of Team Possible and their not-fierce new haircuts to the Internet …

"Uh...if it makes you feel better..." Ron said, trying to find a solution to this, "...I can try to find someone right for the job."

"You'd better, Stoppable...or I will put you on the junior varsity squad!" Barkin decreed.

"What? No! I'm way to cool and good over the B-team!" Ron insisted.

"Then prove it! You're dismissed, Stoppable!" Barkin commanded, "I want to see you at the Middleton High gym at 0800 hours for our pep rally!"

Ron got up from his seat and was about to head out the door but was confused at what his superior said.

"Wait, Mr. B, there are 800 hours in a day? I thought there are 24!"

Barkin sighed again at Ron being a comedian as usual, "Military time, Stoppable. You civilians should know the difference between that and normal time! Eight am is the time of the rally."

Ron understood what his teacher said and made his exit, but as he did so, a trophy tipped off the shelf.

Barkin exclaimed, "That's the most expensive trophy of my collection!" He caught the trophy before it could land on the floor and shatter in a million pieces.

"Sometimes, I just don't know what to do with that kid." he uttered,

Midsummer Nightmare by SimplyShelbs16

"Alright, Doc, they're gonna be at the Middleton Days Festival this weekend. Now what?" Shego asked impatiently, studying the photo she brought back of the group.

"Those mood chips had control of you and Miss Possible, correct?" Drakken asked.

"Ugh, don't remind me," she remarked. "So why make a device that causes them to fall in love with the wrong person? What is that gonna do?"

"Start a riot amongst all of Team Possible!" Drakken exclaimed. "Think about it! They'd tear each other apart!"

"Uh huh, when you wanna stop being dumb, you know where to find me," Shego faked a yawn.

"You'll see! It's foolproof!" he argued.

"No, it's proof that you're a fool, Dr. D," she scoffed before walking away. Surely, he didn't think this plan would work in the slightest.

Ron at the Symphony by Mahler Avatar

On second thought, I don't know if being involved with a violinist would be such a good thing.

And is Kim wondering the same thing about the conductor?

And what's with that weird way she's looking at him?

And is it weird that I'm very aware that he is achingly hot?

He looks just like Josh Mankey. Hey, it IS Josh Mankey! Nah, just a trick of the light.

But is he just... "orchestra hot"?

Just look at his hair, all straggly and sweaty. It's all in his face, and he doesn't even care. He's just so lost in… whatever the heck he's doing that I swear the players don't even really need.

Is it really that sexy when someone is so passionate about something?

Do I look like that when I'm chowing down a Naco?

The Mad Scientists Assistant by Neo the Saiyan Angel

"To actually read the time chart for the lunchroom?" snarked the beautiful woman between sips of what the younger blonde could now tell was tea.

"I know!" The assistant posed boldly, fist clenched in magnificent awesomeness. "I'll go out to a store and get him one!"

The two other scientists stared.

"Uh… Huh…" Dr Porter said, nodding slowly. Dry like toast, she commented, "I can see why Drew picked you as an assistant now."

"It's 'cause I'm smart!" Tara beamed.

"Of course you're smart," James agreed. "But I wouldn't suggest-.."

"But how will I get him his donut? I can't fail my first assignment!"

"I think she'll have to either go out or ask for a fresh donut, but you'll have to wait for a new one," the svelte blonde said.

Tara boggled. "I can ASK for a donut, or whatever I want?"

This time it was James the belly-laughed. "Of course! Dr Freeman upgraded the kitchen to run itself. You just go over and ask for what you want if it isn't already out and poof! There it'll be."

Poof? As in magic! OH! That was so cool! Science and magic together at last.

"That's great!" Excited at the prospect of completing her first task, she completely forgot about the two other scientists as she ran for the food area.

As she mused over the order her boss had given her again, she thought about the chocolate donut. Chocolate with chocolate? Double chocolate? Nah, he would've said chocolate chocolate if he'd wanted chocolate chocolate. So it's a regular chocolate with sprinkles. Tara had no idea how the sprinkles would stay on a plain chocolate donut, but who was she to judge the eating habits of a really smart guy?

...if you could ask for whatever you wanted, why even have a time chart for the lunch room?

and Possible's Pure Love Road by kmtdiccion

"I think calling them lowlifes is a bit absurd." Ron laughed weakly as he rubbed the back of his head.

Josh kept his steady gaze on him and asked "Why not ask a teacher to have her change your partner, since you already have an in with a teacher already?" Ron could've sworn he saw the a slight smirk appearing on his face. He was about to answer when a voice behind them rang with an almost harmonic tune "What are you guys talking about?"

In all his life living on this Earth, he didn't need to look back and see who it was. This is the 'in with a teacher' Josh is talking about. With a strained smile, Ron faced the older blonde woman who is wearing her blouse and a pencil-cut skirt. Two of his friends instantly smiled and greeted with a 'good morning', to which she greeted back. The short-haired blonde teacher waved her hands and said "Move along to your classroom, now. You don't want to be late."

The three of us followed her instructions, walking towards our classroom. But before Ron steps towards the door, he remembered something to tell to her. Therefore, he turned back and said "Uhm... Sis, I-"

The woman cleared her throat and said "No, Ronald. You need to make sure you address me properly when in school. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Miss Stopapble."

Miss Adrena Lynn-Stoppable, but most students would just call her Ms. Stoppable. It's not that he have an in with her. He lives with her. She's his older sister in everything, but blood. The Stoppables one day decided that Ron needed someone older than him to look up to, and before the day ended, they were finishing signing up adoption papers. For more than half of his lifetime, he even thought she really is his blood sister until his parents suddenly dropped the bomb on him when he turned thirteen.

"Why don't you marry Adrena, Ronnie?"

"PFFFT! What?! She is my sister, mom!"

"What are you talking about? She's adopted."

"PFFFFFFFFFT! W-WHAT?!"

Courtney opened the envelope and said, "And the Golden Rufus goes to...Picture This by MrDrP!"

Courtney scanned the room for the applauding audience.

"MrDrP! Come up and accept your award for Best Comedy!"

An attendant whispered in Sharper's ear and Sharper said to the audience. "It seems that MrDrP is in the john at this time. So I guess we'll put his award on the seat and..."

"We'll accept it for him. Stupid Murphy's Law!"

Kim and Ron walked back on stage. Kim was fuming and Ron was confused. Gone was there elegant formal wear.

Now, they each just wore barrels, which were suspended by leather shoulder straps.

"This is so the drama," Kim grumbled.

Sharper merely stared at the fact that Kim and Ron were sans their clothes. He didn't say anything but wondered in his mind why they weren't ticketed for indecent exposure.

"Hey, at least the breeze is refreshing," Ron said, though he quickly shut up when he saw the glacially cold expression on his best friend girlfriend's face. After a bit, he felt it would be safe to speak again and asked, "So, uh, KPS, why are wearing these …"

"Fashion disasters? We're here to pick up another award for MrDrP and somebody thought this would be funny. So not."

"So what do we do now?" Ron asked.

"Pick up MrDrP's stinkin' award and then we ace this place before Bonnie sees us." Kim said, biting her lip. Luckily for her, the Queen also was using the bathroom at the time so she missed the photo op of a lifetime.

"Why the complain', KPS? At least we've got normal hair."

"Ron, we're on a one-way trip to Humiliation Nation!" she exclaimed. She loved her BFBF-hubby but sometimes wondered if he had been knocked around too much on their missions.

"So? You'll still be the hottest feminina there."

"What?"

"Doesn't matter if you're wearing a gown or a barrel, KPS. You're beautiful."

Kim stared at him, her look of shock quickly morphing into a warm, loving smile. "You say the most weirdly romantic things."

"Yeah," Ron said as he took Kim's hand. He realized that the barrels would make for an awkward hug. Still, Kim kissed him. Grinning goofily and holding the Fanny Award aloft, he added, "And thanks for the bling, dudes."

With that, Kim and Ron quickly left the stage before any photos could be taken.

"Okay...that was...a wardrobe malfuction caused by a mysterious force." Sharper said while hiding his chuckling. "But let's continue on the ceremony with Best Romance . Presenting the award will be Jessica Foley and ..."

He saw who the other person was in going to annouce the award.

"...Melissa Chase and Milo Murphy!"
Sharper then stopped at mid-sentence. "Uhh...Milo Murphy? This cannot end well..."

Milo was in a tux while his girlfriend, Melissa, was in a purple diamond dress with simple makeup and red lipstick.

Both Melissa and Milo stood up from their seats, but, as per Murphy's law, the reclining seat fell apart. Milo then stumbled onto Jessica as she was walking and fell. This caused a chain reaction that caused the metal railing to fall off and destroy the grand piano. He and Melissa finally managed to get up...only for his tuxedo pants to be torn out from him by a loose nail.

"Don't worry, people. I have an emergency pair!" Milo said while digging through his backpack for emergency pants. He then put them on. "You okay, Jessica?"

Jessica replied while coming to her feet "Yes, Milo, but I wish we can do one Fannies awards without ending up in any destruction."

"Milo, I love you but you worry me sometimes." Melissa sighed as the three of them finally made it to the platform. The platform stand, however, collapsed and the microphone spontaneously ignited into flames.

"Good thing I always carry a backup mic in my backpack!" Milo replied, getting out his backup mic and tossing it to Jessica.

"Thanks!" Jessica said with a smile.

"Romance in a KP story can be as subtle as a simple kiss or overboard like a romantic tour through Paris. Whatever the case may be, it always strengthens the heart and makes the bond between pairs grow stronger. Tonight's nominees for Best Romance are..."

Melissa: Turkey Day by Neo the Saiyan Angel

"Yes, yes I will." She accepted the plate and began to dig in. The hen was a little overdone, the dryness sticking to the inside of her mouth. At the same time it tasted… Pretty good. Great, even. She hadn't realized before that when he had the right ingredients and a chance he was a good cook. She couldn't help the hum of appreciation that escaped her throat.

Drew preened. Grandly he announced, "Some of these recipes are old family secrets. Good luck getting some of this stuff in a restaurant!"

Shego tilted her eyebrow at him. He made it no secret that his mom babied him with everything, including cooking meals. "You managed to memorize and recreate your family recipes on your first try?"

"Well… No." He crossed his arms grumpily. "I had to experiment a bit at work during my little bits of downtime. In exchange I had to help organize a work menu and offer up the mashed potato recipe. But!" His grin broke wide. "It's worth it, right?"

She could sense some nervousness in his tone. Deciding to make him worry a bit in vengeance for the whole 'surprise' thing, Shego merely shrugged. "I dunno. You tell me."

Drew grabbed his own plate and shoved an unhealthy amount of butternut squash into his mouth. Then he smiled brightly at her, teeth smeared with squash. "Happy Turkey Day, Shego!"

She couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped her throat. Warmly she replied, "Happy Turkey Day, Drew."

Jessica: When the Ball Drops by GerbilHunter

"I spend it at a place in the Virgin Islands. Just a little house and a little beach. Warm, quiet, nobody else. I don't have to look over my shoulder, and no henches or goons to ruin my day. Ahh... There's a spare room."

Kim blushed faintly. "Can I think about it? Tell you in a few days?"

Shego's expression closed down. "Sure, Kim."

The teenager caught the other's hand between her own. "Really, Shego. Please. There's a million reasons I shouldn't, and only one that I should." She smiled, a hesitant smile with a hint of mischief. "I need time to talk myself into it."

"How will you let me know?"

"A post on my website. You'll know it when you see it."

She nodded. "Okay, Kim."

Kim smiled again. "See you," and waving, she wove between bodies and disappeared. Shego watched her go, wondering where this might lead, knowing what she hoped for. Shaking her head at her own silliness, she melted into the crowd and was gone.

Milo: Could It Be by Shasta627

Kim groaned and fell back onto her bed again. She hated having debates with herself; her mind was her own worst enemy. She rolled onto her side and stared at her bedside table, her eyes immediately being drawn to the picture frame of her and Ron at the Middleton county fair last summer. She and Ron were standing at the entrance, both smiling widely with his arm slung casually over her bare shoulder. Kim shivered as she recalled the way his warm skin felt against her own and had to reach out and place the photo face down, significantly bothered by her reaction and the direction her thoughts were heading.

This wasn't normal, platonic behavior. This was the type of behavior she'd expect after a first date with a longtime crush. Her stomach wasn't supposed to have butterflies thinking about Ron. She wasn't supposed to be blushing when she thought about his looks. And she definitely wasn't supposed to be swooning over a kiss they accidentally shared.

Kim rolled onto her back and stared hard at the ceiling.

I like Ron. I'm crushing hard on my best friend.

Jessica: Last Dance by Whitem

"I…" Kim had to sniff back a few tears. "I thought that… I would be the first to go. What with you and your… MMP and… everything."

The two continued their melodic dance and Ron explained. "I had asked Sensei about this Kim, and his response was…" Ron then changed his voice to sound like the elderly Sensei, "A star that burns twice as hot burns out twice as fast. And you have burned so very, very brightly my son."

"But…" Kim started to say, narrowing her brow.

"I know, it confused me as well. But then he explained to me that I used up quite a bit of that power since the time that I received it. If I had not…"

At this point the song that was playing decided to end.

Could it be that it's true that it's you.

(Could it be..., That it's true..., That it's you...)

That it's you, oh it's you...

Milo: Nacos and a Movie by Sharper the Writer

Kim and Ron were still walking in the Middleton Park, holding hands. They were getting to the other important topic that concerned their senior year.

"Where do you think we'll end up at college?" Ron asked.

"That's...a really good question, Ron! I don't know yet." Kim said. "I've been getting scholarships and acceptance letters from all around the world.

Ron bemoaned, "And all I got are just a couple of football scholarships from Middleton Central U and Upperton Junior College."

"Don't worry, Ron!" Kim said, trying to cheer her boyfriend up. "Something will turn up soon that can work out for the both of us."

"But what if we graduate, KP?" Ron questioned, getting more antsy, "Will it be the end of the world?"

"Graduation is so not that!" Kim countered, "It's a very large transition that we have to go through in our lives."

"Yeah...I know what that means." Ron said.

"Besides, we still have seven more months to go." Kim replied, pointing out how much time they had left. "Let's just enjoy our time as high school seniors together before we get to that point."

"With me by your side, of course!" Ron replied as his pants began to slip.

"Trusty BFBF!" Kim replied with a smile and they were about to kiss.

Melissa: and This Is Our Year: Sightseeing by F86Sabre53

"Thank you, Ronnie," Kim said before kissing him on the cheek. She then looked at the open drawer again and saw the same jewelry she wore at the fashion show. What really caught Kim's eye, was the necklace that Camille tried to steal. "Ronnie," Kim said both shocked and amazed. "This necklace is…priceless, how…"

"Like I said," Ron interrupted. "They wanted you to have it."

"So, the dress, the shoes, the jewelry, it's all free?" Kim asked.

Ron nodded, "Yup, and it's all yours to wear."

Kim smiled and began tearing up, "Oh, Ronnie, thank you. I'm gonna go put on what you got me. All minus the necklace."

Ron frowned, "How come? Are you afraid of it getting stolen again?"

Kim shook her head, "No, I want you to put it on for me."

Ron snapped his fingers, "Of course, one of the basic rules of relationships or marriages is that when a guy gets his GF, fiancée, or wife a necklace it's his job to place it around her neck after giving her the gift. When a girl get's her BF, fiancé, or husband a necklace it's the other way around."

Kim cupped Ron's checks and gave him a peck on the lips. After pulling away she said, "That's my, Ronnie."

"And the Golden Rufus goes to...Last Dance by Whitem!" Melissa announced to the croed before Milo gave her a soft peck on the cheek.

"Milo, despite all the damage you do sometimes, you're such a Romeo!" she chuckled.

"I always try, Melissa!" Milo grinned.

Again whitem walked up to the podium, dodging the debris from Milo's shenanigans, but this time he actually had a surprised look on his face. He adjusted the mic and spoke. "umm... wow. I seriously did not expect this. I mean... Best Romance? There have been SO many previous winners of this award, numerous giants, such as cpneb, MrDrP, yvj, as well as many others. I feel honored to be listed with them.

"So again, Thank-you so very much for selecting me as the winner for this award."

whitem then walked off the stage to loud applause, and holding the award high, and also making sure to take good care of it so that it wouldn't crumble due to Milo's presence.

"I do hope insurance will cover damages from Murphy's Law..." Sharper said, tugging at his collar nervously. "Anywho, kudos to both MrDrP and Whitem for their awards. We are nearing the halfway point of the ceremony but stay tuned! We're going to present the awards for Best Friendship and Best Action/Adventure! "

And with that, he left the damaged stage.

The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" played while on the break.
