Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible. It is still in the clutches of Disney, which intends on ending it this year.
Bonnie pulled her car up to the curb of the Stoppable residence. She looked at Ron in almost puppy dog fashion. "Are you sure you want me to have supper with your parents?"
"With Mom knowing you are going to be home alone she would probably ground me if you didn't. So it's not like you are having dinner with my parents, it's you are saving me from being grounded so I can go to competition next weekend. Just have to put your priorities right."
"So, I am having supper with you and your parents so maybe you will go to brunch with me tomorrow? Instead of being grounded, that is."
"Bon-Bon? Are you asking me out?"
"Well, I usually have Sunday Brunch at the country club with my mom and step-dad. They won't be back in time, and I wouldn't want to go alone. So, yes Ron-Ron, I am asking you out."
Ron looked at her for a moment, and then smiled his big goofy grin. "I would be honored to accompany you."
She kissed Ron softly on the lips, "I guess we need to get inside, or they might get the wrong idea about us sitting in the car out here."
Ron nodded his head, "Yeah, I hear that happens sometimes, though never to me." He slides out of the sports car and stands up. Ron then hurries around the car before Bonnie can open her door and opens it for her, presenting his hand to her in assistance.
"Thank you, Mr. Stoppable," she says taking his hand.
"My pleasure, Miss Rockwaller," he says kissing her hand and presenting his arm to her.
She smiles softly to him and places her arm in his and they start to walk up the path to the door.
"Ron-Ron? Where did you learn these gentlemanly manners?"
"Well, from my dad and grandfather, and promise you won't laugh?" He waited for her to nod, "Also old movies, I am a connoisseur of them you could say. Bogie and Bacall. Tracey and Hepburn. Even the Marx Brothers have the proper manners in them if you watch. It just feels right to use them when you are alone with someone."
"Well, I wanted you to know that I really appreciate them. My father treats me like this when he is in town, or I can travel with him."
"So your mom didn't change her last name when she got remarried?"
"She did, but changed all three of our last names to go with it. Confusing? I know. But I was only three when it happened, so it isn't that big of a deal to me. I just miss time with my dad sometimes. Don't get me wrong, my step-dad is great and all, but it's not the same thing." The two pause at the door. "I guess that is another thing that I always held against you and Kim. You have both of your parents at the same time, every day. I was so jealous."
"Well, no reason to be jealous now. You have your mom and step-dad, your own dad, and well, if things work out, my parents, and I am sure the Drs. P. Shall we go inside?"
Bonnie smiled and nodded. She never had thought about how close Kim and Ron were. She now started to understand. Ron looked to Kim's parents as a second pair, as well as Kim looked to Ron's just the same. By how he talked, he was sure that they would accept her into their households as another child.
Ron opened the door and let them both in, Bonnie first, as he guided her. Bonnie stopped and smelled the scents and fragrances wafting in from the kitchen. "Smells good," Bonnie said to Ron.
"Yep, Mom is a good cook when she has time. Guess that is where you get your cooking abilities. You know the four star cafeteria stuff and all that."
"That is where is started. Mom had more time when I was younger, and I was always in the kitchen with her. Her jobs lately have kept her with long hours, so I handle the cooking some to help out."
"Ronald? Is that you?"
Ron and Bonnie made it into the kitchen. "Yes, Mom, we just got here."
"I thought I heard a car pull up and didn't know if it was Rabbi Katz or not. He phoned and said that they may be a little late, though you know what he considers late."
"Yes I do, five minutes. He will come in apologizing if he didn't call ahead."
"Rabbi Katz as in from the Synagogue?" Bonnie inquired.
"Yes, do you know him?" asked the older Stoppable.
Bonnie nodded, "I do. I go to temple with my dad when he is in town."
Ron's mother's eyes lit up like twin million candle lights at the mention of this. "Bonnie dear? You are Jewish also?"
Bonnie nodded, "My mother converted before she and my dad married. I have to admit that I am not really devout in it."
"Well, no one is perfect," she looked at her son, "but it is difficult to balance everything as an active teenager. Could you help me set the table, Bonnie?"
"I'd be happy to Mrs. Stoppable."
"The dishes are in the hutch next to the table; I will bring out the glasses," she instructed the girl and the turned to her son as she left. "Ronald, you didn't tell me that you found a nice Jewish girl. You have made your mother so happy. Don't let this one get away." She beamed a smile from ear to ear and took the try of glasses to the dining room.
Ron was still in shock to hear that Bonnie was Jewish. Now that his mother had heard this he knew that he wouldn't hear the end of her praises from his mother. Not that he wanted to hear anything else, but if this didn't work out it might put some stress on his home life.
Ron's Father came into the kitchen from his home office, "Ah, son, I hear congratulations are in order for you and your new girlfriend."
"Dad, we aren't dating. We are spending time together. I wish we were dating. She is going through a tough time, and doesn't have anyone to turn to. I am sure when things straighten out she will go back to treating me the way she used to," Ron said with his head lowering in dejection.
"Son, let me give you a bit of advice, man to man, not father to son. There comes a time in young women's lives that they have to make a decision. They can continue to go after the type of boy that keeps letting them and hurting them, or they can come to terms and find a man that will treat them right."
"And you think that Bon-Bon might be at this stage?"
"There is always that chance. From what you know of her, how many young men has she gone out with has treated her good, and that she has treated good also?"
Ron thought about things as his father went into the living room. Ron thought about the talk in the locker room as he was getting ready for cheer practice and gym. He shook his head to clear the raunchy comments about Bonnie. He knew that they couldn't be true.
Authors Notes: I am stopping the chapter here. I feel that including this with the meal itself would make it a fairly long read. I hope that you enjoy and I look forward to posting again soon.
