A Stoppable Christmas 2 - Chapter 4 - A New Year
The next morning broke clear and cold. Kim and Ron could not even go to the windows to look out without being harassed by the media. The two teens had just finished breakfast and they were still sitting at the table. Kim was fussing over the bump on the head Ron had gotten for trying to keep her necklace.
"Ron, we could have replaced the necklace, I couldn't replace you." Kim sniffed. "You scared me. I thought he would shoot you for sure when you decked the one reaching for me. He had already warned you."
"In your own words, Kim, so not the drama. I wasn't going down without a fight. It made them hesitate a little." Ron said.
"Yeah, then I was left with no necklace, and nearly no you. The leader had to physically stop that guy from shooting you then and there." Kim said.
The doorbell rand and Mrs. Possible went to the door to see who it was. She returned with Bonnie in tow. "Ron, Kim, who have a visitor."
"Good morning, Bonnie. Ron and I would like to thank for what you did, getting help, standing up to Monkeyfist and Shego." Said Kim.
Bonnie blushed a little. "K, as you would say no big, I just ran like a scared rabbit when that guy shot at me. You two would have taken him down. As for standing up to those two people, I didn't trust them, after hearing the two of you talk about them. That Monkeyfist guy is scary."
Ron said "Nearly taking a bullet is a big thing for us Bonnie; we have dodged enough over the years. And as for telling Monkeyfist and Shego that you didn't trust them. That impressed both of them. They left a note to us telling us of a certain sassy brunette who had more guts than all the adults there to stand up to them." Bonnie blushed even deeper this time.
"Kim, Ron, I came by to ask you two something. In fact that is why I followed you out the door at the mall that day. I wanted to ask you to come to my New Years Eve Party." Bonnie asked.
"Bonnie, are you sure, I mean, we haven't been on the best of terms." Kim said.
"Please, Kim, this means a lot to me, not just me but to several of us." Bonnie pleaded. "Josh, Brick, Tara, Monique, and Felix will be there. We all want you there. It is just going to be the small group of us."
Ron reached over to grab Kim's hand when Bonnie saw the bandage on the back of his head.
"Ron, what has happened to you now?" Bonnie exclaimed.
Ron was about to say something when Kim interrupted him "He tried to stop them from taking my necklace. They hit him with the butt of a gun."
A huge grin spread over Bonnie's face. She walked over to Ron and leaned down. "Ronald Stoppable, you are so a hero." She said and gave him a kiss on his forehead. She turned and grinned at Kim who turning was a little red. "K, all you said the other day was Ron was not supposed to kiss anyone but you, you didn't say anything about someone kissing Ronnie" she said in a little girl voice. Kim stopped glaring and a huge grin spread over her face as she started giggling.
"We'll be there Bonnie, both of us." Kim told Bonnie.
"Thanks, Ron, Josh and Brick will come by in Brick's parents van to pick you up. The football team will be here in full gear to keep the press away. I had to fight through those press people just to get in the yard. They will make sure you aren't followed. We'll see you tonight and Kim we expect to see you wearing that special gift." Bonnie said with a huge grin. She gave both of them a hug and left.
"Kim" asked Ron.
"Yes, Ron." Kim said.
"Can you help me pick out some clothes." He asked smiling.
Kim grinned a huge grin. "I thought you would never ask."
The Party
Josh and Brick has picked up Kim and Ron on time earlier in the evening. The press had gotten a big surprise. They were sure that they would be able to get at Kim and Ron when they left, but the entire defensive and offensive lines of their championship football team just happened to be running by in full gear. They formed a line a tank couldn't have broken through. Brick was stunned when Ron came out on crutches behind Kim. His clothes didn't actually just match but he was very sharp looking and his clothes matched Kim's perfectly. Josh could only whistle at the two of them. "You two are definitely styling and profiling." He had said. "Oh, man" he thought to himself, "they have it bad, they already could almost read each other thoughts, now they want to dress alike."
The party at Bonnie's house had been a small affair by the standards of some of her other parties. Kim and Ron were given seats where they would be included in everything. That was until a little dancing started. Kim looked longingly at the area where they were dancing and knew there was not way she could participate. That was until Bonnie tapped her on her shoulder.
"I knew you would need some help dancing so I got in touch with Felix. He and his mom came up with these harnesses. They fit like a parachute harness, which I know you two have worn. They will allow you to stand and float. You will be able to move by using your good legs." Bonnie said as she showed the teens the equipment.
"Bonnie, I..I don't know what to say" Kim whispered.
"How about, let's dance" said Ron.
Kim smiled and nodded. Ron stood for a second and hopped to put on the harness. Bonnie helped Kim get into her harness and helped them out on the floor. Kim smiled deeply as she laid her head on Ron's shoulder. Ron used his good leg to slowly move them around on the floor. They were lost in the moment and it wasn't until about the third song or so ended that they realized that they were the only ones on the little dance floor. Everyone else was watching them. Both of them had to hide their faces as the whole group applauded. Everyone joined in on the dancing then.
The time of the New Year was approaching. Bonnie had gathered everyone in the living room in front of the fireplace. The TV was turned down low, but showed the time. Everyone had some punch and stood around the fire and couch. Kim and Ron were sitting on the couch.
"Can I have everyone's attention?" she asked. "Tonight, has been different for me. This party is different, a lot smaller and a lot less noisy. But I have really enjoyed it. As this year ends, and with some events that have occurred in the past days. I have realized that I am lucky to have such wonderful friends. I know that I have not been on the best of terms with some of you. I would like to ask you to forgive me and give me a chance. Especially two people I hope will count me as a friend. These two people have taught me the true meaning of friendship and love. Kim, we have been at each other for a long time. I was so totally jealous of you because you were the best, and I was jealous when you and Ron got together. You are the luckiest girl I know. You have a man in your life who without a doubt loves you very much. A man who has laid his heart, life and body down for you. Ron, thank you for showing me what it means to love, truly love someone. Your dedication to Kim is an inspiration to us all. Both of you have laid down your lives for each other and all of us. I just wanted to say thank you."
Everyone attending cheered and applauded.
Josh came forward. "Kim, we had some real good times together. I really enjoyed being with you. But, after the time that blue dude tried to make you disappear, I knew where you needed to be and that is where you are sitting now. That is because a certain dude I know risked everything he had to save you, then didn't even stick around for you to thank him. I imagine that that is not the first nor will it be the last time he has saved your life. I was so pleased to hear the news of what happened after the mission in the mountains. I didn't get the see the video till later. Then those dudes, harassed you at the mall, then those men kidnapped you. You two have always been there for all of us. It was time for all of us to step up and do something. Brick and I wished we could have done more. But when those guys threatened to drop Kim out the back of the van, we had to back off."
Ron stood with help from Kim. "Bonnie, Josh, Brick, Tara, Monique, Felix, Kim and I would like to thank all of you. You stood for us when we were in need. Bonnie, you got help twice when we were in need and you nearly took a bullet for it the second time. Josh, Brick, you chased down some very bad dudes. You knew they were armed yet you still gave chase. You stopped only when they threatened Kim. Felix, you let us borrow that equipment so we could dance, and you been on a mission with us before. Monique, you have been Kim's best friend and helped her when she needed you. Tara, you have always been a friend to both of us. You gave me a little kiss that first time at Wannaweep. I could never tell you how much that meant to me. All of you have stood with us when we where in need. Even if it was just helping us with some homework after we had been on a mission. Each and every one of you is very special to each of us. I know this is a little crazy but if you will let me propose a toast. It looks like it is just a few seconds before midnight so. To old friends, to new friends, to love, to friendship." They all clicked glasses and cheered when the clock started to chime.
"Happy New Year!" everyone cheered.
Ron sat back down beside Kim. "Happy New Year, Kim" he said leaning close.
"Happy New Year, Ron" Kim said as she drew him close. Their lips touching as the clock started to chime. The two were locked in their embrace as the rest celebrated the new year.
I had thought to end it here, but after reading it I felt that the story needed one more chapter. So there will be an epilogue. I hope everyone enjoyed reading it as much as I had writing it. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
