Chapter 2
Selection of the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
Now, it was Kim's turn to be a little skeptical,
"What makes you think that Monkey Fist is going to go along with this?" she asked,
"Nothing," Ron said, "but, it's like you said, we're running out of time, and we need to get our attendants together, so, might as well swallow my pride, and ask."
"All right, but if a fight starts, you're going to have to handle Monkey Fist, his monkey ninjas will be a after me, as usual." Kim said, raising an eyebrow,
"Don't worry about hairy-hands," Ron said, "I'm sure he'll go with it."
In the castle of Lord Monty Fiske:
Monkey Fist was pacing his study, wondering what horrors he could perpetrate onhis arch foe, Ron Stoppable, when the door was flung open, revealing Kim Possible, and the aforementioned Stoppable,
"Ah, Kim Possible, and Ron Stoppable, are you looking for a fight tonight?" the monkey master asked, in a thick British accent
"Not really," Ron said, "we came here to ask you something."
"And what might that be?" Monkey Fist asked, his mind was reeling with questions,
"Well," Ron said, "In less than a month, Kim and I are getting married, and I'd like to ask you if you would be a member of the wedding party?" Ron said, Monkey Fist jumped back with surprise,
"Are you sure you want me as a member of your wedding party?" he asked, looking at Ron,
"Yeah, so, what's the answer, can I expect you at rehearsals in a week, or am I going to need to find someone else?"Ron asked,
"I'll be there, and to sweeten the deal, I'm calling a truce until after your honeymoon, where do I need to be?" Monkey Fist asked,
"Middleton United Church of Christ." Kim said,
"And after that, you need to show up at Temple Israel, located about a block away from there" Ron said, looking at Monkey Fist as he spoke,
"All right, I'll be there, sounds like you're having two ceremonies in the same day." Monkey Fist said,
"No," Kim said, "A weeks apart from each other, one Christian, one Jewish."
"Okay, I'll leave my monkey ninjas here, and I'll be in town tomorrow, I'll be staying at Middleton Lodge, you'll find me there." Monkey Fist said, nodding to Ron,
"Thank you, now if you'll excuse us." Ron said, turning to leave the room.
Monkey Fist sat in the study, talking to himself, the question that had been plaguing him since Ron's departure burning into his mind,
"Why would someone seek out their worst enemy to be a member of his wedding party, it doesn't make sense?"
On the Isle of Killigan, Scotland:
Duff Killigan sat in his castle, located on the island that beared his family name, thinking of his next attempt to make his dreams come true,
'Tha's a good idea, get Drakken to finance it, then take over tha world, righ' under the blue-skinned buffoons nose.' he thought, but he got no further,
"Wha' in the world is goin' on here?" he asked, looking at the two teenagers standing in front of him,
"Welcome to me home again, lassie." Killigan said, looking at the source of the commotion, Kim Possible, and her bumbling sidekick,
"Thanks, but we're not looking for a fight this time, Duff." Kim said, making the rogue golfer stop in his tracks,
"Wha' are ye doin' here then?" Duff asked,
"A kind of business trip," Ron said, gaining interest from the red-haired man, "We came here to ask you to be an attendant at our upcoming wedding."
"A member of the wedding party," Duff said, looking at Kim, then Ron, "If there's one thing I like more than golf, it's a good party, I'll be there, but one question." Duff said,
"What's that?" Kim asked,
"Where is there?" Duff asked,
"Middleton United Church of Christ." Ron said,
"Aye, I'll be there." Killigan said,
"All right, rehearsals are in a week, don't be late." Kim said.
At the home of Bonnie Rockwaller:
Bonnie sat on the sofa, waiting for something that a former High School competitor, Kim Possible said she wanted to discuss. She was aware that Kim's upcoming marriage to Ron Stoppable was in less than a month, and she had no clue what Kim was planning,
'She'd better hurry up,' Bonnie thought, 'it's not like everyone else in the world doesn't have a life.'
"Bon-Bon," came the voice of Mrs. Rockwaller from the foyer, "you have visitors."
Bonnie heard a laugh come from the door, and recognized it immediately,
"Not funny, Stoppable." Bonnie said, walking to the door, and coming face-to-face with Kim and Ron,
"We're not here to play jokes on you, Bonnie." Kim said, causing Bonnie's head to snap up, and Bonnie to lock eyes with Kim,
"Then, why are you here?" Bonnie asked,
"We wanted to ask you if you had anything you were doing that was more important than attending a wedding rehearsal." Kim said, Bonnie's mouth flew open at this,
"Are you wanting me to be a member of your wedding party?" she asked,
"I don't think I stuttered."Kim said, looking daggers at Bonnie, who was smiling evilly,
"I'll do it." Bonnie replied, still wearing that evil smile, until Ron made the bubble burst,
"One condition, Bon-Bon," he said, "if you get out of hand, just once, you'll have me to answer to, along with the rest of the wedding party."
"Fine, I'll be a good girl for the rehearsals, and the wedding." Bonnie said, wearing a frown,
'How does he do it,' Bonnie thought, after Kim and Ron had given her the time, and location of the rehearsal, and left, 'How does Stoppable seem to know what I'm thinking?'
At the home of Tara King:
Kim and Ron were out in front of the large house, waiting for Tara, a former cheerleader at Middleton High School, to answer the door,
"Do you think Tara's gonna do it?" Ron asked, then, he added, "You know, she was supposed to have a major crush on me in High School."
"I know," Kim said, "But from what I've heard, she got over it before we graduated, she, and Josh Mankey have been going steady since before then anyway, so it's all good."
The door opened to reveal a young girl, with long blond hair, standing in the doorway, wearing a green top, and a green skirt,
"Oh, hi, Kim, Ron, What's up?" Tara asked, looking at her two friends,
"We need to ask you something, Tara." Kim said,
"What's that?" Tara asked,
"Well, I'm sure you know, that Ron and I are due to be married in a month, and I wanted to know, if you would like to be part of the wedding party?" Kim asked,
"Are you sure, after everything I did, and said, to get you and Ron to break up in school?" Tara asked, remembering all of the times she had tried to drive a wedge between Kim and Ron, so she could try and get Ron for herself,
"Yeah, I'm sure, if you want to, of course." Kim said, she watched, as Tara's eyes lit up,
"Of course, I'll do it." Tara said, hugging Kim, and apologizing for her actions in school,
"No reason to apologize, Tara," Kim said, "I probably would've done the same if the roles were reversed."
Kim and Ron sat at Bueno Nacho, looking over the list of attendants,
"Okay, we got Shego as Maid of Honor, Drakken as Best Man, Duff Killigan, and Monkey Fist, as Groomsmen, and Bonnie Rockwaller, and Tara King as Bridesmaids." Kim said,
"Yep," Ron said, "the wedding party has been assembled, now we need to get out the invitations, and get the rental tent for the ceremony." Ron said,
"Once we get all of that, we're golden." Kim said,
"Yeah, I got the reception hall at the auditorium booked for the reception, and the after wedding party is going to be held at your parents house, we're good to go." Ron said,
"Yeah, I think that's all that's left, except for the rehearsals, how are we going to pull that off, without our attendants wanting to kill each other?" Kim asked,
"Good question. I have no clue." Ron said, hanging his head. He had realized, they had just put together one of the weirdest rogues galleries of a wedding party the world has ever seen, and what was worst, they were made of the worst enemies that Kim and Ron had ever faced. How they were going to pull this off, without killing their attendants? That would be a miracle if it ever happened,
'Oh, the next few weeks are going to be interesting.' Ron thought, still shaking his head, and walking for the door. He needed to get home, and go to bed, maybe, when he woke up in the morning, none of this would've happened yet, and it would all have been a bad dream.
