DICLAIMER: Bonnie Rockwaller, Josh Mankey, and the rest of the Kim Possible gang belong to Disney. This story is written for pleasure.
To Forlong: Yeah, I see what your sayin, he is a bit OOC. If Josh comes into the story later (Which he most likely will,) I'm gonna put him back in shape. I don't really know how to put this, but... I just plain don't like Mankey, so I wanted to give Kim a reason to slap him. Anyway, I wanna thank you for your suggestions, and I advise you to keep giving me some advice, as this is my first story.
To Zippo: I see your point, and I have to say, your probably right. Since this is my first story, I was a bit hesitent to put in some extra, um... details. I'll try though, and I say to you the same thing I said to Forlong, thanks.
To Charizardag: Um, no offence whatsoever, but I, um, don't really like Yu-gi-oh. Sorry. (Oh, and yes, I am going to put a touch of what Monique shot, but not for a little while.)
AND SO...
Chapter 9: The mall
Kim and Ron walked through the vast entrance of the Middleton mall, hand in hand. Since they had nothing to do, they decided to go to the mall and hang out until Wade found anything new.
"So, what's the plan, KP?" Ron asked.
Kim shrugged. "Doesn't really matter. "I kinda wanted to check out the Collecters Den..."
Ron raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were over Cuddle-Buddies."
Kim flushed. "Well, you know, a collection the size of mine could be worth alot of money someday!"
The corners of Rons mouth twitched. "Maybe to DNAmy." He saw Kims face fall slightly, and felt a bit bad. "But hey, if that's where ya wanna go, then that's where we go." He smiled warmly, as Kim face resumed it's usual beauty.
They walked over to the store and Kim looked around, checking to see if anyone knew she was going in there. The, she quickly yanked Ron in.
After a few minuts of aisle searching, Ron saw Kims face jump into delight, as she stared at a Cuddle-Buddy that was some sort of a cross between a mole and a cat. "Oooh, look Ron!" She squealed, picking up the plush animal. "It's a Molekat, a cross between a mole and cat!" Ron rolled his eyes, as he felt himself being pulled toward the casheir. "Excuse me, how much is this?" She asked, holding up the Cuddle-Buddy towards the woman controlling the cash register.
The casheir examined it, and typed some information into the computer. "Fifteen dollars." She replied.
Kim hurriedly looked inside the small purse she was carrying. Suddenly, her face fell in disappointment. "All I have is a ten..." She muttered. Ron looked at her. She really wanted that... Molekat, or whatever it was. He pulled out his wallet and took out a twenty, handing it to the woman.
"I'll take it." He saw Kims face turn into one of shock, and then to delightment. He took the Cuddle-Buddy, and, handing it to Kim, he took his change, and, they walked out of the store, Ron feeling very happy with himself.
Kim held the ball of plush in her hands, and looked at Ron happily. "Ron, I... I don't know what to say!"
"A simple thank you will sufice." He smiled at her. "Besides, that's what guys do, right? They buy stuff for their girlfriends?"
Kim looked at him, thought for a moment, and pulled out the ten she was carrying. "Here." She thrust out the bill towards him. "Take it."
Ron looked at it, and pushed it back. "Nah. I don't need-"
He caught the look on her face.
"Well, if you insist." He chuckled weakly as he took the bill and stared at it. "You know, KP, not many girls would give their boyfriends money."
"And, you know Ron, not many guys would refuse the money." She grinned slyly.
"True." Ron admitted thoughtfully, as a smile formed on his freckled face. "You know, I will take this money!"
Kim looked confused. "What changed your mind?" She asked.
"I've decided," he said, gesturing towards the food-court in front of them, "That I'm going to buy us all something to eat!"
Kim smacked herself in the forehead. "I walked right into that one."
"That you did." Ron grinned, and then a hopeful look crept onto his face. "KP? Permission to abort normal manners, and continue with food manners?"
Kim shook her head smiling. "Permission granted. Ron took a deep breath, and exlaimed loudly:
"FOOD COURT!"
Ron was suddenly a blur amonst the crowds around the food court. Kim had barely found a table by the time Ron had come back with a tray full of fries, tacos, pop, and pizza. He grinned as he sat down. "You'd be surprised how much fifteen dollars can buy." He set the food down in an orderly fassion, with tacos first, fries second, then pizza, and finally, the pop, all right beside each other. He closed his eyes as he pulled out Rufus from his pocket and set him on the table, clasping his hands together, Rufus doing the same.
"The time has come." He muttered spiritually. And then, there was suddenly an explosion of cheese, french fries, and pepperoni as the two cannibals practically ate everything in in front of them in a matter of two minuts.
Kim gaped in amazement as the blonde boy and his rat began to finish off their sodas. Ron noticed her staring and gulped down the last of his soda and asked, "What?"
Kim looked at him with wide eyes. "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" He replied lazily, laying back, with Rufus doing the same as his friend on his lap.
"How can you possibly eat half of a resturant without gaining a single pound?"
"You know, sometimes I ask myself that same question, KP." He said, patting his never-growing stomach softly. "But I always come to the conclusion that Ron Stoppable has the strongest gut in the world."
Kim shook her head. "The scary part about that is that I actully beleive it." Then she looked up, and groaned. "Oh no, not here!"
Ron looked at her, confused, when he heard her. "Well, if it isn't Romeo and Juliet. How sweet!" The annoying voice of Bonnie Rockwaller came from behind him. He groaned as well.
"Oh, stop looking so glum, you two." Bonnie sneered, as she walked up to them. "After all, you guys are perfect for each other! Unpopular, terrible fashion sense, and..." She looked at Ron, still painted with the remains of his food. "Overall queer."
"Back off, Bonnie." Kim growled, gritting her teeth.
"Ooooh, Kimmie's getting angry!" She backed off mockingly, and as she did so, she accidentally knocked Kims purse off the chair, and the Cuddle-Buddy that Ron had bought for her. Bonnie staired at it, wide-eyed.
"Is that what I think it is!" She burst out laughing. "Did your boyfriend buy it for you?" She laughed again. Kim turned red, but Ron came to the rescue.
"As a matter of fact I did, Bonnie." He stared at her innocently. "And if you don't mind me for asking, what did your boyfriend buy for you, Bonnie?"
Bonnie tried to reply, but found that she couldn't. She turned red and walked away in a huff. Kim burst out laughing, grateful Ron had been there for her.
"Ron, that was awsome!" She said as she scooped up her Molekat happily, putting it carefully back in her purse.
"Hey, you know." Ron replied proudly, sweeping back some of his hair. "It's a guy thing. And besides, nobody calls Ron Stoppable queer and gets away with it!"
Kim looked at him.
"Or insults his girlfriend, Kim Possible, and gets away with it!" Ron hurriedly finished.
Kim laughed and batted her eyes flirtaciosly. "You know, I never got to thank you for buying that Molekat for me."
Ron smiled and started to reply, when suddenly Kim pressed her lips to his. Ron happily returned the kiss, only a bit surprised by her actions, and resisted the urge to smile as Kim draped her arm around him, pulling him closer. When they finally pulled apart, Ron was smiling deleriosly.
"All-righty, then!" He smiled happily. "I think that'll do for now, huh?" He looked at Kim, but she was thinking about something. "What is it?" He asked.
"You know, all this time, we've never tried frenching, have we?" She asked him.
"Uh... " Ron looked confused. What kind of question was that! "Well, do ya wanna try right now?" He asked boldly.
"Um, okay, I guess..." She replied shyly, as she moved her face closer towards his...
"Wait a minut." Ron backed off. "One question: Who goes in first?"
Kim banged her head off the table. They were obviosly not very good at this. She picked her head up off the table, and sighed. "Um... I guess I will?"
"Well, okay." Ron replied, and the two once again moved closer, closer...
Beep-Beep-Be-Beep!
Ron groaned as Kim backed off, reaching for the Kimmunicator. "Perfect timing." He sighed, as Rufus came up to pat his shoulder pitifully.
"What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked, slightly annoyed.
"Just wanted to know-" He paused, seeing the look on Kims face. "Did I interrupt something?"
"Well, actully-" Ron started, but Kim clamped a hand over his mouth.
"What was he saying?" Wade asked suspiciosly.
"Nothing. So, what's the sitch?"
"Well, first, I wanted to see if you guys were okay."
"Thanks, but we're fine." Kim smiled at her ten-year old friend. "A few cuts and bruises, but we'll live." She laughed. "As long as we don't have to go in another one of those buildings again!"
"Well..." Wade scratched the back of his head.
Kim sighed. "You know, I could almost feel that coming before I even said it."
"But look on the bright side!" Wade smiled unconvincingly. "It's not as major as before!"
"No mine-feilds?" She asked hopefully.
"No mine-feilds."
She sighed in releif. "So, what is it then?"
Wade looked troubled. "Well, I'm sure you guys can take a couple of motion activated robots, right?"
Kim raised her eyebrows. "Exactly how many motion activated robots, Wade?"
"Um, try twenty?"
Kim groaned.
"Twenty-five, actully. Sorry."
Kim shook her head. 'Whatever these discs have on them must be really important.' She thought. She sighed. "Where are we going this time, Wade?"
He smiled. "California."
"Nice." Kim thought out loud. "Do we need to stay the night again?"
"Well, Drakkens helicopter was just spotted outside of the border, so no, you don't have to... Unless you wanted to..." He winked.
Kim glared a warning at him.
"No offence in any way!" Wade finished hastily.
"Good. So are we taking the teleporter again?"
"Aw, man, I got dizzy from that thing last time! Can't we just-" Ron started to complain, but Wade kept going.
"Yeah, so you should probably get your stuff ready. I've already loaded your pack with the essentials, so that's good to go. Just call me when you're ready." And the screen went blank.
"C'mon, Ron." Kim said, pulling him back from where they had come from.
"Okay, but can I get a rain-check on that tounge?" He asked hopefully.
She smiled her dazzling smile at him. "Sure, Ron. A rain check." She replied as she yanked him through the doors of the mall. Ron smiled.
He couldn't wait forthat rain-check.
If your thinking, 'Molekat! Weak!'Then yeah, I agree with you. But it was the best thing I could come up with, so don't hurt me. R&R.
