Sadie Hawkins Dance and Ten Years Later
One week later, Ron and Bonnie are dancing together at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. To her delight, Ron's able to keep up with the beat of the music. When a slow dance song came up, he would hold her close without getting too close. As they dance, Bonnie has her hands on his shoulders while his hands are on her waist. They go around and around until they see Kim with tears in her eyes.
Bonnie snarls and looks around for Josh. She is then shocked and angered to find that he ditched Kim to be with Chastity. She nods for Ron to take a look at Josh and Chastity together and Kim being miserable at the dance. Ron nods and sighs, knowing he's about to make her jealous.
"Bonnie, would it be all right if I danced with KP? I can't stand to see her so sad."
To his surprise, she smiles and says, "A true boyfriend always considers the feelings of his girlfriend and his best friend in the world. Just don't kiss her, okay? Your lips are for me and mine are for you." She giggles and kisses him, giving him a pat on his back as he goes to the table.
Kim is miserable until she hears a familiar and gentle voice. "KP, may I have this dance?" She looks up and smiles at Ron. She offers him her hand and he leads her onto the dance floor.
Kim asks, "What about Bonnie? Won't she be upset?"
Ron replies, "Actually, she said that a true boyfriend is considerate of his girlfriend's feelings and his best friend in the world's feelings. I just can't kiss you, that's all."
Kim nods in understanding and says, "Oh no, we have incoming hostiles." She had spotted Josh and Chastity coming at them, murder in their eyes. The music stops in time so every person in there can hear what's going to happen.
Ron turns around and sees Bonnie coming to give them support. She gets to their side and says, "Josh, Chastity, you are disgraces to the human race. You care nothing about other people or their feelings. All you care about are your measly little egos. Josh, you really hurt Kim by ditching her for this air-head."
Ron says, "Oh, yeah, Bonnie. I have a riddle for you. What's dumber than a brunette trying to build a house underwater?"
Bonnie ponders this and says, "No idea, Ron. What?"
Ron chuckles and replies, "A blond trying to burn it down underwater." Bonnie analyzes the answer and starts laughing, finding it truly funny. He then says, "Here's another one. Why did the blond get a headache from looking at a can of frozen orange juice?"
Kim mulls this over and shrugs, asking, "Why did she get a headache, Ron?"
Ron laughs and says, "Because the can said 'concentrate'!" At that, the whole gym erupts into laughter, with the exception of two people. Josh and Chastity.
Chastity asks, "What about Tara and yourself? Aren't you opening yourself up for that kind of meanness?"
Ron smiles and says, "Nah, you see, Tara and I are smart blonds whereas you and Josh Monkey over here are dumb blonds."
Kim smiles and adds, "Besides, Josh, your last name does sound close to Monkey." Josh moves to punch her when Ron grabs his fist and starts squeezing it.
Ron then says, "If you try ever to hit KP when I'm around again, I'll do worse, Monkey boy." Josh's mouth opens in pain when Bonnie's voice comes through to him.
"Easy Ron. Let's stand down now. That's it." Ron unconsciously releases Josh's hand and Bonnie goes on, "You did good just now, Ron. You did good. Defending a lady is honorable and you sent him a message. That's the main thing."
Ron blinks and says, "Just remember what I told you, Josh Monkey." Nursing his sore hand, Josh and Chastity walk out of the gym.
That night, the rest of the dance goes without further incident and the students go home for the night. As the three teens go to Bonnie's car, Bonnie gains a whole new appreciation for a guy that many considered to be a nobody.
Ten years later, Ron and Bonnie are together as husband and wife. Ron works as a building engineer, having given up the hero business. Bonnie is an excutive for a cosmetics firm.They have two eight year old kids, named Kim and Ron Jr.
Kim has married a nice guy from out of town, Frank Nelson. He sells insurance for just about every kind of event. They have a seven year old boy, named Ron after a dear friend of Kim's. A friend she had known since Pre-K and always had at her side, no matter what. Even when she was in labor, Ron was at her side, Bonnie right with him. When Bonnie was in labor, she was right in there with them both, knowing they are the best partners she could ever hope to know.
Josh and Chastity had eloped the night of the dance and moved away from Middleton. They divorced, citing spousal abuse charges against each other, three months later. Status: Unknown. Location: Unknown. Who cares: Unknown.
Tara and Felix Renton married after graduating from high school and went to college together. Tara took an interest in robotics in college and felt she could find the missing link that his Mother couldn't find. Sure enough, she did. She melded the robotic technology with a new alloy that conducts electrical signals and can be put into the human body. She earns the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Felix is now fully active and enjoying his new lease on life. They have three children and are expecting another one. Children's names: Unknown. Ages: Unknown. Location: Upperton, Colorado.
As Ron and Bonnie prepare for their reunion, Bonnie is sorely tempted to tell Ron about her dream, but finds some parts of it strange still. She then remembers Ron's motto: Never be normal. She chuckles and shrugs.
She says, "Ron. I've got something to tell you about my dream from ten years ago. It's got some strange parts in it for sure. But it showed me just how much I love you, Ron." She then proceeds to tell him about the anonymous letter in his locker, the mission, his being dangerously hot, the sample drawing, her mischievous thoughts, his contracting monkey flu, the injections, the vaulting and his eyes glowing then flashing. She tells him the rest of the story and he nods in understanding.
He then says, "Bon-Bon, it's just a dream. That kind of thing only happens in the movies. Though it would probably make a good story for someone that wouldn't mind reading an exciting story like that." Bonnie smiles, approaches him and wraps him in a passionate embrace, kissing him as she does so.
She says, "We better go, Ron-Ron. Kim, Frank, Felix and Tara should be there by now." Ron nods and follows her out the door of the Rockwaller family mansion. Their regular babysitter, Carla Jones, is watching the children for the night.
When they get to the school for the reunion, Bonnie and Ron see Kim, Frank, Felix and Tara waiting for them upon arrival. Ron nods in greeting to Felix, quietly pleased he's up and about. Bonnie hugs Kim and Tara while Ron bangs fists with Felix and Frank. The three couples then go inside.
The reunion goes without incident and Bonnie nods at Tara, giving her the signal. Tara winks in reply and nods at Felix and Frank to get ready. Bonnie then goes up on stage and takes charge of the microphone.
She says, "I'd like to make an award to two very special people in our lives. Without them, this world would not be in existence still. These two people have known each other since Pre-K and pulled each other through some pretty harrowing times. They are heroes, a team and the best of friends. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the award for strongest friendship, is Felix and Tara Renton."
Felix and Tara come up on stage and Tara says, "These two lifelong friends never let their relationship go past friendship. No matter how bad or weird things got, they pulled each other through and survived. Strongest friendship goes to Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible-Nelson!"
Ron and Kim look at each other, smile and realize they had just been routed on all fronts. Kim smiles at Bonnie and mouths, 'Thank you' to Bonnie and Bonnie mouths, 'You're welcome, Kim'.
Ron gets up, gives Kim his hand and helps her up. The two friends then walk up on stage, hugging their spouses and friends. Tara hands them both the award and they hold it up high.
Ron says, "KP, I think it'll be a good idea to leave this award in a display case here in the school. Give students something to shoot for, you know."
Kim smiles and says, "That's a good idea, Ron. It'll save time on arguments at least." Ron chuckles at that in agreement and allows Kim to take the microphone first.
"Everyone, thank you. Ron and I are so touched by this award. We're going to leave the award in a display case. Like Ron just told me, it's to give the students something to shoot for." She turns the microphone over to Ron and winks at him, getting a nod in reply.
Ron says, "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I wasn't the most popular guy in school. But I don't give a hoot about that. I found a friend in KP and a wife in someone that was scared of losing her status with the others. But, to me, she'll always be the most popular. This award goes to my darling wife, Bonnie Rockwaller-Stoppable!" Bonnie's jaw drops and she blushes largely before cracking up laughing.
Bonnie then walks up and mouths, 'Thank you, Ron-Ron'. Ron then hands Bonnie a golden rose, deeply engraved with the words, 'Most popular in the heart'. Bonnie's eyes tear up at the beauty of the award and she embraces him warmly, kissing him as she does so.
She takes the microphone and asks, "You two have been planning this for a while, haven't you? Ron, just wait till I get you home and I'll show you a real award." The gathered classmates laugh at that and Bonnie smiles her snarky smile for the first time in years.
She continues, "Seriously though, he is the most thoughtful, sweetest husband a lady like me could ever hope to have in life. When I thought up the award for Kim and Ron, I had no idea they were planning something like this for me. I guess that even surprises do come from those you don't expect them from at times. Thank you, Kim and Ron. Without your friendship with each other, you would not be here right now. In fact, neither would I." Bonnie walks up to Ron and gives him a massive Frencher, much to the cheers of their classmates.
That night, they go home and turn in for the night. As Bonnie undresses, she checks herself for anything strange and finds none. She then puts on her nightie with lace teddy and smiles at herself in the mirror.
She says, "Yes, Bonnie. You are so looking good. A terrific husband, beautiful children and a beautiful golden rose. I think I'll arrange for it to be put with their plaque at the school." She giggles and goes into the bedroom.
She sees Ron at the desk, seemingly hard at work, his back hunched over. She goes over to him and runs her fingers along his back, relieved he's not smoking hot like in her dream that long ago. She then hears him moan and feels him stretch back upward, reaching his arms behind him and wrapping her as best as he can. He tilts his head backward and kisses her.
She returns the kiss and giggles into his mouth, saying, "Let's go to bed, Ron. I'm sure you're drained by now." Ron nods and gets up from the desk, following Bonnie to the bed. The couple get into bed and Bonnie kisses Ron good-night, wrapping her arms around him protectively, knowing he's still hurting from some of the past missions that she had went on and was in danger of losing her life.
Each time, Ron had shielded her and Kim with his body after ensuring they're together at the same time. Every time he had gotten hurt, he would say it's his duty to preserve human life, even at the risk of his own. Bonnie then decided it's time for him to retire from the hero business, do something a little safer.
Now she's beginning to wonder if she made the right choice for him. When he was saving the world with Kim, he had gotten a rush and deep satisfaction from doing the right thing. Now in the current job of building engineer, he's not feeling so fulfilled. She sighs and decides to talk to him some time in the future, not standing to see him feeling so useless and miserable.
She then shrugs and decides to take a chance. "Ron-Ron, do you regret leaving the hero business?"
Ron sighs and sadly replies, "Yes, I do, Bon-Bon. Every day, I do regret it. Even though I'm good at building engineering, doing hero work is more satisfying. But, there does come a time when one has to admit they're getting too old for that mess. I'm thinking that if our children want to be heroes, I'll support them one hundred percent." He turns to Bonnie and asks, "Do you regret my leaving the hero business?"
Bonnie nods and says, "Just like you, Ron. Every day. The world needs heroes. Since our children and Kim's son are like you both and me, they could become good heroes as long as the world can stand to have them." She kisses Ron and they fall asleep in each others' arms, fully content with each other, getting it all off their chests.
