Chapter 2:
The Weirdest Hanukkah/Christmas
By Georsama
Kim was the first one to stir, she yawned a little smiling, her eyes still closed. That was a wonderful dream, she thought sleepily, her sense's still trying to get free from the grip of sleep. I kissed Ron and he told me he loved me...it could only be a dream. Then she felt herself rise up and gently lower back down in a rhythmic manner, that caused her still sleep clouded mind to get confused, she moved slightly and felt a pair of arms tighten up on her.
That was when her ears picked up a noise, voices. They were soft whispers, but suddenly she was awake and she realized her family was opening presents while she was asleep...on the couch...in the arms of Ron! Her eyes snapped open and she lifted her head to see his face. He was still asleep. Oh God. She smiled a little, then the smile grew wider and wider till it was as wide as it could be. She suddenly yelled without thinking. "IT WASN'T A DREAM!"
Unfortunately her yell startled Ron into waking up; he tried to set up, found a weight on his chest and then, his feet and arms somehow managing to get tangled up in the blanket, rolled right off the couch to land with a thud. He shook his head realizing that Kim was under him. He immediately sat up worried about her, but she was just laughing and pointing at him.
It was contagious and Ron soon began to laugh as well, not really sure why. It was just relief that she was alright and possibly joy from the events of last night. Suddenly he went quiet and looked to his left, then to his right and then straight ahead not looking above shin level, they weren't alone, and he could tell that her mother and father were standing in front of them waiting.
Kim stopped laughing as well seeing her parents, they were looking down at them with a curious expression. She blushed a little realizing that they had been caught. Ron looked back down to her and with a nervous chuckle whispered to her. "KP, I don't think were alone."
She nodded some, giving him a small smile and put a hand on his chest. "I know...we should get up."
He shook his head gulping some. "Do we have to?"
She nodded and Ron, albeit reluctantly, stood and helped her up. They stood close, holding hands neither on looking anyone in the eyes. Then, rubbing his neck he lifted his head to look at Kim's parents. He shifted his weight from foot to foot waiting, they each had stoic expressions. "Umm...ok, I know this looks bad, but really we were just sleeping..." He thought it sounded lame, though Kim squeezed his hand, letting him handle things.
It was her dad who broke the silence by smiling and offered Kim a cup of hot chocolate. "Merry Christmas Kimmie." He glanced at Ron and offered him the other cup of hot chocolate. "Here you go Ronald; we were just about to do the traditional Possible family Christmas Morning toast."
Kim and Ron, both holding the items given them, looked at each other, confusion evident on their faces. Then they looked back at everyone. The twins looked as if they wanted to snicker and tease them, her mom looked happy, her dad seemed happy as well, and her Nana just had this weird half smile.
Kim's dad held his cup up and said. "To family." His mom touched hers with his and repeated what he said, the twins and Kim's' Nana did the same, then as if in a dream Kim did as well. All eyes then turned to Ron, who was confused, he had seen this ritual many times since becoming friends with Kim but he had never been asked to take part in it.
He looked at his cup and then at them, they all seemed curious, he glanced at Kim whose eyes seemed to be a little questioning about what he didn't know. But what he did know was that they were like his family and he did love Kim so, he lifted his cup and placed it next to Kim's completing the circle. "To family."
***
Ron was giddy, ok maybe not giddy, but he was very happy. He was seated on the couch, a cup of hot chocolate in hand watching as Kim, who was seated next to him and snuggled up close, was opening her presents happily. She would bounce and squeal like any normal teenage girl every time she did.
Ron smiled and leaned back into the couch, now this was the way to spend the holidays, unfortunately Christmas was on a Saturday this year. But until it was time for temple all he had to do was enjoy her company and her family. He watched absently as Kim's parents walked out of the room talking about something.
Kim snuggled up against him a little more, lifting his arm to drape it over her shoulder. She spoke in a soft voice. "Ron, when are you going home?" she sounded very happy.
He smiled and kissed her temple lightly since it was the only available spot he could reach, it was the first physical contact outside of holding hands and snuggling up in front of her family, between them and answering her quietly. "Well, I do have temple, it's the Sabbath, but that's not for an hour."
Kim twisted around suddenly looking at him, eyes wide blinking. "Really?" when he nodded she sighed. "I thought...wait, where are you going after temple?"
Ron shook his head and tilted it. "I'll probably have to go home."
Kim pouted ever so slightly, then brightened. "Ron...can I go with you?"
Ron, who had been looking at the Christmas tree wistfully, snapped his head around quickly and looked at her. Kim had scooted and changed positions so that she had on leg under her as she looked at him. "Go where?"
"Temple." she flashed him a smile which kept him off balance. The entire time he had known her she had never wanted to go to temple with him, but then again they had never kissed. He was also surprised she wanted to miss most of the Christmas morning and day to go with him. He sort of stammered for an answer, confused. Kim suddenly pulled out her major gun, the puppy dog pout.
"Of course you can Kim, but we'll have to clear it with my mom and dad." He found himself saying, the fact that the puppy dog pout had never failed was held true once more.
She let out one of the loudest squeals he had ever heard at his answer, kissed him on the lips quickly then climbed off the couch, almost tripped and ran to tell her parents. Ron blinked and smiled stupidly her kisses still packed a punch.
Ron blinked startled by the sudden movement of the couch. He looked over to see the twins jumping on the couch playing with something. They were laughing but stopped to look at him, a glint of amusement in their eyes. Jim, or was it Tim, who had been jumping up and down closest to Ron said. "Kim and Ron sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."
"It's Christmas, why do you have to tease me now?" Ron half whined.
Tim, or was it Jim, picked up the song where his brother left off. "First comes love, then comes marriage..."
Ron sighed and hung his head. The tweebs suddenly stopped jumping and one of them piped up, Ron wasn't sure which one it was, "We've decided were going to make another screensaver."
Ron reluctantly looked over at them. "What's it going to be of?"
The twins, who were dressed identical, laughed jumping off the couch. They started for the stairs, Tim, he supposed, answered him. "You and Kim sleeping together on the couch!"
Ron sat there blinking, his mind slowly processing what he'd heard. A screen saver...of him and Kim...he stood up quickly, turning to go tell Kim only to bump into her. He stumbled backwards a little, somehow managing to keep his balance.
He shook his head seeing Kim, who had stumbled back as well, smiling stupidly "Ron?" She stepped up to him; her voice had an excited sound to it.
"Yes?" He looked at her, more than a little perplexed. She seemed calm, but her eyes were sparkling, and her voice had a certain tone to it that gave away that she was excited. "I asked my mom and dad about wanting to go to Temple with you; they're talking to your parents right now."
He smiled. "Really?"
She nodded smiling.
Ron laughed and thought. This Hanukkah is just getting better and better. Kim broke into his thoughts asking what he was doing. He answered her rather absently. "The twins are making a screensaver of us sleeping on the couch."
Kim growled softly, much in the same way when Wade has been reading her diary. "I am so going to..." she said quietly, what she was going to do she never said, she grabbed Ron's arm and dragged him along behind her.
Ron felt lost, or at least confused. He wasn't so sure what was bad about it, but he just fell into step behind Kim, he knew there was no point in arguing with her right then. He hung back as she opened the door to her brother's room with a bang.
"Who did you send that to?"
Ron stepped to the doorway and saw Kim, arms crossed, hip cocked to one side, she sounded serious. The twins were wearing their shirts with their names written on them. It was Tim who spoke up first. "Just people in your address book." Jim immediately added. "And Ron's."
The two teenage heroes looked at each other and then back at them. The twins smiled, as Tim twirled in the chair saying "And we posted it to your site and some other newsgroups."
Kim's mouth fell open in disbelief; Ron stepped all the way into the room talking in a disbelieving tone. "So...the entire world can see me and her..." He stopped and considered that a moment and then laughed. "KP what are we worried about?"
Kim spun on him quickly talking in a disheartened way. "Ron, they just sent an invasion of our privacy to everyone!"
Ron shook his head still laughing. "One word Kim, Spam filters."
"That's two words."
"You know what I mean; nobody in our address books will get their email cause of their Spam filters." Ron said this as if it made absolute sense.
Kim suddenly laughed with him. "Your right Ron, what was I thinking?" She walked over and kissed him on the cheek laughing "Come on...we need to go find out if I'm going with you or not. "
The young couple turned leaving the twins alone. Unfortunately the two young heroes hadn't known that Tim and Jim had a third party helping them. Wade.
***
Kim tilted her head, as she watched from her spot next to Ron's mother and father. Temple was definitely different than she expected, especially since Ron had been asked to perform something for the service, along with a few other boys, men, she silently corrected herself.
As much as Kim loved Ron, which was a lot, she thought that the service was rather dull. But she smiled and watched him with pride. She couldn't help but smile wider at the memory of when they had arrived, the girls that were attending the services had asked, more like pestered, she corrected herself, Ron about Kim. She glanced out of the corner of her eye seeing two staring at her with jealously, they weren't even trying to hide it. She felt a sense of smugness as she turned her full attention back to Ron.
It was amusing however that Ron, apparently, was oblivious to the fact that he had several girls here that actually seemed to have a crush on him. This was reason for Kim to be thankful, if he had know he may not have fallen for her. She was also glad her parents had let her come with Ron, though they were very specific that she was to come back home afterwards.
Ron's parents had teased them when they had stopped by her house to pick them up, mainly because they were shyly holding hands, but they seemed pleased by the relationship between them. Kim pushed these thoughts from her mind, though she continued to smile, since the service was coming to a close.
She rose with Ron's parents, she felt out of place standing there quietly while everyone else sang their closing prayer, but she was new to this, next time she would definitely know the words to sing. She almost jumped when she felt Ron take her hand shyly while he sang; somehow he had slipped back into place next to her.
Kim followed Ron as he led the way, the only time besides at Camp Wannaweep that he led the way, out into the parking lot. His parents were right behind them; they left the couple on the curb while they went to get the car. They held hands, looking awkward, like any new young couple.
It was Ron who spoke first. "So how'd you like the service?"
Kim looked at him and smiled. "I liked it, different but good."
Ron practically beamed. "And I didn't screw up once." he stated it with an air of pride, which Kim shared. To punctuate this she leaned in quickly and kissed his cheek, which caused him to smile goofily. He gave her hand a squeeze to show his approval.
Kim sighed and looked down at the ground. "I wish you could walk me home..."
"Hey, there'll be tomorrow..."
She shook her head some chuckling. "I know...but still..." She looked at him a little disappointed but he just laughed.
The honking of a car horn interrupted them, Ron sighed looking over to see his mom and dad waiting in the car patiently. He looked back at Kim. "Are you sure we can't take you home?"
She nodded some. "Yea...I mean I know your mom and dad wouldn't mind, but I think I should walk, besides your not suppose to do anything else today right?"
He nodded and they stood there in a sudden awkward silence. Ron's dad honked his horn again and Ron sighed. "Later Kim." then acting on impulse leaned in quickly and kissed her on the lips. It lasted for several minutes and then he broke it smiling stupidly; he turned tripped a little and ran to his car climbing in.
Kim stood there, smiling this silly smile as she watched his car disappear around the corner. Finally, shaking herself free from the numbness his kiss created in her she noticed that a few of the girls who were still there giving her dirty looks. Kim didn't care, she was on cloud nine. With an extra spring in her step she started off heading home.
***
Kim almost literal skipped into her house, only to be confronted by her mom. The older Possible female gave her a smile and shook her head. "Kimmie, I'm glad your home."
Kim looked at her mom and raised an eyebrow. "Er...why?"
Her dad walked out of the kitchen a glass of orange juice in hand and answered for her mother. "Because your phone has been ringing off the hook."
Kim blinked and then took off up the stairs. "Merry Christmas guys, see you in a bit." She bounded up the stairs, then down her hallway and into her room just in time to grab her phone and answer it in mid-ring. "Hello?" She was quiet for a moment then answered. "Yes this is Kim."
"KIM! It's Monique, girl how come you didn't tell me that you and Ron were together?!" Kim had to hold the phone away from her ear, wincing as she frowned. How did she find out? She shook her head and when she was sure Monique was done she put it back to her ear.
"Monique, we just got together last night..." She let her friend say something and then smiling stupidly walked over and plopped down on her bed one leg folded under her. "Yes, I know. He is so cute…" she nodded again. "No, I haven't been home all day; I went to temple with him..." She giggled. "Yes, I know, he's sweet to."
She shook her head a little. "Get this Monique there were girl's there." she laughed and shook her head. "I know that's not amazing. What is is the fact that majority of them have a crush on him." she nodded giggling again. "I know. They were so totally jealous…" She grabbed a teen magazine pulling it in front of her starting to flip through the pages talking absently with her friend, apologizing about not telling her immediately.
"Hey Monique? How'd you find out?" She was silent for a moment and then yelled. "WADE!" she immediately grabbed her communicator to contact the boy genius and give him a piece of her mind, only before she could it let out its familiar beep. "Monique I'll have to let you go."
Kim pushed the off button on her cordless and dropped it to the bed as she turned on the communicator. "What's the sitch Wade?"
The boy genius stopped his hurried typing and answered her. "It's Drakken and Shego; they've stolen a super sonic cannon."
Kim sighed and muttered. "I thought they would take a break during the holidays."
Wade shook his head. "They did, they left a video E-card, let me stream it."
Kim nodded and then watched as the screen filled with what looked like a comfortable and warm room, with a fire in the fire place. Drakken was seated in an old leather armchair, with Shego leaned against its back arms folded. They both wore their normal clothes, but amazingly they were both smiling.
Drakken spoke first. "Seasons Greetings Kim, Ron."
Shego muttered something under her breath, but Drakken ignored it. "We send this with our sincerest wish for you to have a very Merry Christmas. Now I know what you're thinking 'why is he wishing me a Merry Christmas when he just stole a super sonic cannon', well the truce from last year still holds true, but that doesn't mean we can't prepare for the days after New year..." Kim frowned as he went on to wish them yet another Merry Christmas, with Shego saying that this was a stupid idea.
The screen cleared and was once more filled with Wade. He shook his head sighing. "Traced the location, it was sent from a public library."
Kim frowned and narrowed her eyes. "Wade, how big was the cannon?"
The boy genius shook his head. "Portable. Get this Kim, when at full power it could turn a diamond into powder."
Kim paled a little and shook her head. "Any reference points in the video?"
"Let me check." he started typing quickly while Kim, stood, putting the communicator face down on the bed changed into her mission clothes, there was no way she was waiting, besides this wouldn't be all that difficult. To bad Ron couldn't come along. Shrugging she picked up her communicator to find Wade waiting.
"Kim, no reference points in the video. But, the power source for the SSC is kept in Nevada." He typed quickly on his keyboard. "Got you a ride with Hogendosh International."
"You rock Wade." Kim responded already heading out of her room.
***
Ron flipped through a photo album smiling wistfully, while Rufus was perched on his shoulder making chattering noise. He stopped on a picture of when he and Kim were younger. He shook his head, things had changed since then, they had both grown up became entirely different people and yet, here they were still together, as more than friends, but still they were together.
Rufus slid down his arm like a slide and jumped off, grabbing a small block of cheese left over from dinner. Ron looked over at his friend and laughed. "You know what Rufus?"
The pink naked mole rat turned and chattered saying "Nuh uh."
Ron closed the book, setting it to the side and scooped up his friend along with his cheese. "For the first time in a long time, I'm looking forward to going back to school after the holidays."
Rufus nodded some and attacked the cheese, happy that Ron was happy. The young blond man walked over to his bed and plopped down, wondering what Kim was doing right this minute. He couldn't call her, and she couldn't call him, oh well at least there was no missions this time of year.
***
Kim frowned as she sneaked up to the building, no security, no guards, If it wasn't for Wade she wouldn't have even have looked here. It was a large, energy planet, closed for the holidays. She slipped up to the door and pressed herself flat against the side of the building.
She felt bad about running out on her family, but she had to do this, handle it now and she wouldn't have to do it later. She grabbed what looked like a hair dryer and aimed, ready to fire and then paused. Wait a minute, she thought, Ron always just tries the door and it's always open.
Cautiously she slipped to the door and reached out trying the door. It swung open slowly, and she couldn't help but smile. "I'll have to try that more often." she said to herself as she put up her hairdryer grappling hook and slipped into the building. It was dark, all of it running on what seemed to be automatic.
She crossed the concrete floor searching around the power turbines, then slowly climbed a set of metal stairs which led to a walk way, she walked down it and entered the second floor where the first set of offices were located. She poked around, moving stealthily among the offices, she wondered where Drakken and Shego were. She slipped out the communicator and contacted Wade. "Wade, can you pinpoint where exactly they are? At this rate I could be here all night." she sort of whined that last part.
The boy genius quickly went to work and within a few minutes he was leading her up, through a few more levels of stairways between offices till she reached the last door on the sixth floor which was the plant manager's office. She had no sooner put her hand on the door to open it when it was yanked open.
Kim was caught my surprise and flipped backwards as the glowing hand of Shego hissed through the air. When Kim landed she was in her fighting stance, the communicator still on in one hand. Shego crouched down low, hands held at her sides glowing. "I thought Dr. Drakken said there was a truce?" Kim said.
Shego gave her a half smile. "He's asleep, and what he doesn't know won't upset my paycheck." with that she sprung forward. They clashed with a flurry of kicks and punches, Wade who was still on the communicator winced and called her name as it was knocked out of her hand and fell to the ground where it was crushed under foot.
Shego blocked a strike to her head while having her strike blocked as well. "So Kimmie...tell me where's the boyfriend?"
Kim responded without a second thought. "He's at home."
The pale green girl blinked, her mouth falling open. "You know I meant your sidekick right?" She seemed to concentrate more on the block than any attacking. But the two fighters had seemed to reach a temporary truce while Shego absorbed the information she'd just heard.
Kim nodded some giving her enemy a smile. "Of course, he's the only boyfriend I got."
Shego blinked then seemed to whisper to herself. "Hmm...if you're dating him he must worth a second look."
Kim narrowed her eyes and the temporary truce between them as they talked about him was broken, once more they were exchanging blows.
***
Ron looked out the window of his ride, he felt nervous and anxious. Here it was the Sabbath and he was out heading for Kim's location. It had been an hour since Wade had contacted him, telling him what was up. Ron had been torn between going to help her and staying home, it wasn't until Rufus brought his rabbi to his attention that he finally made up his mind.
It was after half an hour talking with his rabbi, which had taken some doing, he called Wade back and had the ride met him. He leaned back in his chair and muttered what his rabbi had finally said to convince him. "If your heart tells you to do this, and it's good, then HE will understand."
Ron got up, making his way to the door and slid it open after pulling on his parachute. He bent his knees and prepared to jump, he patted Rufus who was sticking out of his pocket, then jumped. He hurtled through the air, Rufus having quickly huddled down into the pocket as Ron fell earthward.
The helmeted hero once more realized that he hated jumping, but it was a mute point. He grabbed his rip cord and pulled it, there was a gentle sound as it deployed and his descent slowed immediately. With a deftness he hardly ever displayed, he gently landed in front of the power plant.
Within moments he was free from his parachute and sneaking into the plant. He heard the noise of fighting and he quickly made his way up the stairs of the first metal walkway into the second floor offices and then up the interoffice ones to the next floor. He made it to the third floor offices, which were nothing more than cubicles, and skidded to a halt seeing Shego and Kim fighting. Kim was breathing hard, apparently having been going all out for a long time.
"KP, don't worry I'm here." He called out and started towards her, then skidded to a halt as both women turned to look at him.
Kim smiled, her entire face brightening up. "Ron!"
Shego on the other hand looked surprised, and then an evil smile spread across her face. Shego jumped up, pushing Kim over, she rebounded off a wall landing next to a startled Ron. She watched Kim stand and with a loud voice said "Ronny poo!" and then much to everyone's surprise, she grabbed him and planted a very deep kiss on him.
When she broke it, Ron stumbled backwards, looking confused. He stared at her blinking and sputtering, Rufus scurried out of Ron's pocket and tried to wipe at his mouth with his paws. Kim on the other hand had begun moving as soon as Shego had grabbed him.
Kim threw a punch blind-siding Shego sending the pale green girl falling backwards; she landed on her rear and slide along the floor, eyes closed tightly. She came to a rest against the far wall. Shego reached up rubbing her jaw lightly wincing, thinking in retrospect that maybe she should have thought that through better.
Kim stepped between her and Ron and glared at her; she pointed a finger at her and yelled. "Don't kiss my boyfriend!"
Shego stood up and smiled responding. "Aww...is little Kimmie jealous?"
Kim charged in blindly, as did Shego though she was smiling the whole time. Ron shook his head watching them, then remembering what Wade told him over the phone, he ran over to an office door only to find Dr. Drakken standing there in the stairway, mouth open, watching the fight between the two girls.
Ron skidded to a stop and struck a fighting stance. "Ok Dr. Drakken, give up the SSC."
The blue skinned scientist blinked and looked at him obviously confused. "Did Shego just kiss you?" Ron nodded and Drakken blinked again. "And did Kim Possible just say you were her boyfriend?" Again Ron nodded, a little off guard by the doctors reaction. The evil scientist moved his hands pointing with his fingers, repeating everything to himself as if his mind had been overloaded with that information.
Ron watched for a minute then asked where the super sonic cannon was. Drakken stopped blinked and then started over adding cannon to the mix this time, his mind unable to handle everything right at that instant. The two turned at the sound of a screech to watch as the skilled fighters rolled around on the ground pulling each others hair, kicking and calling each other names.
Ron blinked then looked down at Rufus who looked back up at him and blinked. They both shook their heads then looked at Dr. Drakken who shook his head and tried to grasp what he had been told. Ron sighing shook his head. "Come on; tell me where you hid the super sonic cannon."
Dr. Drakken looked at him, blinked and responded. "The what?"
"You know the super sonic..." he trailed off, frowning some. "You have no idea do you?"
Drakken blinked again and then smiled. "Oh, the super sonic thingimgic...we made it up. Faked the whole theft."
"What?" came Ron's articulate response.
Drakken shrugged. "I was reading Snowman Hank's book of sayings."
"Oh the ninety nine edition?" Ron said enthusiastically. "I have the two thousand version myself." Drakken looked at him enviously and started to compare notes on the books. They continued on for a few minutes, until Ron realized what had happened and got them back on track.
"As I was saying, I was reading his book when I realized that we really should get together for Christmas again..." Drakken said it smiling, and Ron blinked. "Dude, that was an awesome idea." They both talked about the idea, laughing and having a good time till at last they noticed that Kim and Shego, both panting, were lying on the floor side by side breathing heavily.
Ron walked over to Kim and helped her up, she was breathing heavily, her hair a mess. Ron kissed her cheek as she leaned on him, worn out. "Come on KP, let's get you home."
She nodded, Rufus climbing up onto her shoulder to pat her cheek. "Ron...did you get the..." she trailed off and Ron shook his head. "Don't worry about it Kim, I took care of it." She nodded and let him led her away.
Ron glanced back to see Drakken doing much the same thing with Shego. Ron smiled a little; it was definitely turning into a weird Hanukkah.
***
"So, Drakken just made it up?"
Ron nodded, watching as his girlfriend smoothed out her hair as they reached the front doorstep of her house. It was almost midnight when they got back, which meant Kim missed Christmas day with her family, and Ron missed both a day of Hanukkah and most of the Sabbath.
He didn't feel too bad though, he had done what he thought was best. He was lost in thought till Kim squeezed his hand. "Ron...when Shego kissed you..."
The blonde looked at her and blinked. "What about it KP?"
She seemed nervous, unsure, very un-Kim. Finally she just answered him. "Did you like it?"
Ron looked at her blankly and then shook his head. "Kim..." he stopped, and did the one thing he didn't think she could argue with him over, he grabbed her pulled her in close and kissed her deeply. It lasted for several long minutes, the longest and deepest one between them yet, till at last with a lack of air, they broke it.
Kim stared at him dreamily, starry eyed and definitely a giggling school girl. Ron was much the same way only he wasn't a giggling school girl, they were both blushing though. "So that answer your question?" asked Ron. Kim nodded dreamily not really paying attention, she opened the door walking in backwards not taking her eyes off him.
She closed the door and leaned against it. My God! I should have fallen for him sooner. She thought to herself happily and then slowly walked up the stairs to her room. She changed still in her dream world, and sat down in front of her computer, she was just going to check her email quickly.
One hundred and nineteen messages waiting. All from her address book, and all with the same subject line 'I can't believe you and Ron!' she shook her head then opened one she didn't recognize. That soon changed when she saw the picture of her and Ron sleeping on the couch, with the words 'Merry Christmas! See you next year! -Shego and Dr. Drakken' written beneath it.
Shaking her head she shut her computer down the others could wait, this was definitely the weirdest Christmas she'd ever experienced. She stood and walked over to her bed, then quite willingly collapsed onto it. She cuddled up with her pillow, one that Ron had given her when they were younger and smiling drifted off to sleep, pretending it was Ron she was holding.

I'm also happy that you were more than pleased with mine.
I tried to keep the typos and the such to a minimum this time. As for a beta reader, I have bad luck with them, (It always winds up that either I send them my stuff and I never hear from them again, or they burn out.) I think I got your hint, so though I am suppose to be on vacation from writing I guess I just can't stop. I hope this counts as my next story (I have at least three more days to write about Hanukkah its eight days long! Think of all those presents.^^)

Yamal: Your welcome, and please be patient, I'm not Wade, I can only type so fast.
Maxie Goofmore: I plan on it and enjoy the fluffy clouds.
ForeverDestiny: ^^ what is there to say except Thanks. And I'm still sorry about confusing you like that. (though I doubt this chapter helped at all.) I'm running with it earlier than I had expected so I hope you enjoy.
Dory: Domo Argatio
DreamQueen110 (DramaQueen110): Thank you for the nice review ( I was really worried the fic would go boom) Also if you think it would be an embarrassing Christmas Card, imagine it being a screen saver sent to everyone (Including arch-foes. lol) and it was, as stated in my notes, to be a one shot for the time being, but things change.
AN:
I did not expect to be saying thank you 22 times, (fifteen in little over two days.) in such a short amount of time, I have always had to wait a month before I got at least 15 reviews. As of now, the first chapter of The Best Hanukkah/Christmas, with 22 reviews in just a few days, has become my second most highest reviewed story.
Now I've mentioned this quiet a lot in the above Author Response section, but I had meant to finish my other fics before continuing this but it's going ahead now, but please note, once this set is finished off (meaning all the chapters are posted for this small story) I am defiantly putting this continuity on hold till I finish off everything else.
I can not juggle two on-going fics at once. (Just look at HTW and you'll see why.) I want to thank you all for your kind reviews please keep them coming, I don't get enough of them. (when I say kind I mean your honest thoughts about what I write good or bad)
Now before anyone raises a stink I know that Ron did work on the Sabbath, I did research (i.e. I checked out a Jewish information site.) and according to it, the law is not to do any creative work on the Sabbath...but instead of mentioning that in the story I settled for 'If your heart tells you to do this, and it's good, then HE will understand.' HE is a reference to God, they don't say his name. Anyway, that's that.
I hope that this was just as good as before, and that the characters were better and closer to the show than they were last time, especially Kim and Ron.
I have for many reasons (not the least of which is being asked) made a site for my fellow Kim Possible FanFic authors to post there stuff, it's very much like TMFFA, so go submit your work and make me feel like I haven't wasted my time. It's in frames and non-frame versions. The link won't show up so email me and I'll give you the link.
Sincerely,
Geor-sama
