Reception and a New Attraction
At the Reception, Kim and Bonnie are swapping stories about their time with the men in their lives, like they usually did, while Ron and Hirotaka swapped stories back and forth about crime-fighting, as quietly as possible.
Hirotaka then asks, "When you were with your original knee, did you ever wonder where you'd be at this point in time?"
Ron chuckles and replies, "Can't really say off hand, Hirotaka. I usually don't think that far ahead of time. I usually concentrate on the present and staying alive for the most part. But if I did wonder, I'd probably be right here, right now with KP and my original knee."
They are both then startled when they hear a familiar female's voice. "What do you mean by original knee, Ron? Did you get a new one that we didn't know about?"
Ron turns, sees Monique wearing a smirk on her face, and replies, "Just an expression, Mon. After all, before I was injured, originally, my knee was working. That's why I said original knee."
Monique considers this and says, "Okay, that'll work I suppose. Oh look, there's Joss. Looks like she found a new friend."
Ron and Hirotaka look over and see Joss talking to a young boy wearing glasses. Joss waves them over and they walk on over. Joss then says, "Guys, this is Fermat Hackenbacker. Fermat, this is Ron Stoppable, my cousin-in-law, Monique Thompson, my cousin's best girl-friend and Hirotaka Yamanatoka. Oops, I mean Rockwaller."
Hirotaka waves it off and says, "Worry not, Joss Possible. It is my honor to meet a cousin of Kimberly-domo's. Hello, Fermat-san. I'm glad you could attend the wedding."
Fermat chuckles nervously and starts stuttering, "N-n-nice to m-meet you t-too, H-Hirotaka-san." He lowers his head in shame and quietly says, "I-I just wish t-that I c-can talk n-normally l-l-like you g-guys can."
Ron leans down and says, "When I get nervous about something, I think, 'What would KP do in this kind of sitch?' The trick is not to let it get you down, Fermat."
Fermat looks up at Ron and smiles, seeing Rufus on Ron's shoulder, nodding in agreement. Rufus then jumps over onto Fermat's shoulder and bounds on over to Joss, who just giggles at his antics.
Joss then says, "That's right Fermat. Before he got hurt, Ron was a true hero. Having that much fear in him and still being right at Kim's side, willing to do the right thing and keep her safe. If that's not courage, then I don't know what that is."
Fermat looks over and sees Alan and Tintin chatting with Virgil and Gordon, along with four other girls, one of which is the Bride. He then takes a deep breath and asks, without quaking, "Who are Alan, Tintin, Virgil and Gordon talking to?"
Grinning at Fermat's question delivery, Ron replies, "Those would be Bonnie's older sisters, Lonnie and Connie Rockwaller. They really seemed to have mellowed out. Also there is my wife, Kim and Hirotaka's bride Bonnie. Would you like to meet the others in our family, Fermat?"
Fermat smiles and nods, saying, "Sure, sounds like fun." With that, the group heads over to where Kim and Bonnie are chatting. Fermat sees Ron's limp and finds it very well pronounced. Like it's being faked. He then remembers what Norman had said about his team and smiles, nodding in approval.
When they get to behind Kim, Ron holds his fingers up to his lips and Bonnie keeps yakking to Kim, not wanting to give anything away. But then something unexpected happens. Ron's beeper goes off and so does Kim's.
Kim turns around, sees Ron, smiles sadly and says, "Maybe you'll spook me next time, Ron. But for now, it's time to go to work. Talk to you when you get back, Bonnie." Bonnie nods as Kim and Ron hugs the new couple good-bye and makes for the door casually, getting looks from everybody as they leave the hall.
Bonnie comes up with a quick spin and says, "They have to go test a new machine out. That's the Government for you. Always keeping two former heroes busy."
The other guests accept that explanation and go back to the party at hand. Bonnie looks over at the Possibles and Stoppables, offering them a warm wave and smile. The Stoppables return the wave while the Possibles smile warmly at her, holding their grandchildren, the tweebs walking calmly around them, clearly anxious to do some mischief.
Mr. Barkin sees Madigan standing with Robocop and his party. He then decides to introduce himself to her and maybe get a dance when the time comes. He walks over to where she is and gently clears his throat, saying, "Hello."
Madigan turns around, smiles and says, "Hello, I'm Lisa Madigan. Who're you?"
Mr. Barkin clears his throat again and replies, "Steve Barkin, ma'am. Nice to meet you."
She then giggles and says, "You can call me Lisa, Steve. You're off duty now, so you can stand down. I used to be a Detective at Metro South in Old Detroit, so I know what it's like to be at that level of professionalism."
He blushes massively at the use of his first name, causing him to slightly chuckle to cover his embarrassment. He then pulls his collar away from his neck and sees a young boy walk up to them.
Lisa turns around, smiles and says, "Alex, I'd like you to meet someone. Alex, this is Mr. Barkin. Steve, this is my son, Alex. I named him after my former partner. Thinking of which, Steve Barkin, this is Commander Alex Murphy, also known as Robocop. Murphy, this is Steve Barkin."
Robocop grins and says, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Barkin. What is it that you do?"
Mr. Barkin replies, "I'm the Assistant Principal at Middleton High School."
Robocop then says, "I'm guessing you are familiar with Team Possible." When Mr. Barkin nods and grins, Robocop continues. "They were instrumental in helping my son and myself with saving my son's company. This is my son, James and his wife Sheila."
Mr. Barkin gasps and says, "Shego? You got married and went straight? Oh my." Without another word, he faints dead away.
Shaking her head, Sheila chuckles and says, "I still get that from time to time. I guess he hasn't kept up with current events like he used to."
James says, "When he comes to, we'll tell him all about it, Sheila." Sheila nods as he, Robocop and Madigan pick up Mr. Barkin's form and carry it over to a chair, with James and Madigan keeping watch on him, along with Sheila.
Hirotaka then says, "It's time to throw the bouquet, ladies!" Tintin, Lady Penelope, Joss, Connie and Lonnie gather around with the single ladies, along with Monique and clamber around for the prize. Even though Joss and Tintin are still pretty young, they don't expect to get married any time soon. They just want to have some fun along with the other single ladies.
Hirotaka sees Connie and Lonnie looking right at Gordon and Virgil. They are quite desperate for happiness and are clamoring for the floral prize to be thrown their way. Hirotaka nods and gives Bonnie a slight nod and she nods back, having seen her sisters being smitten with the newest guys they had ever seen.
Bonnie throws it and it is caught by Monique, who wasn't even trying to catch it. It just landed right into her hands, earning her scowls and grins from everyone there, Connie and Lonnie being no exception. Monique then sees Scott and smiles weakly, her heart still sore from Brick's breakup with her.
It wasn't really his fault. His family thought that he should find a girl that wasn't so independent or spirited. He took it very hard and was threatened with being disowned, fired from his Lifeguard job and accused of being something he wasn't. A racist. He threw the threats back into their faces and went into his room. The next day, he told Monique the deal and wanted to stay with her. She so wanted to accept him, despite his family's faults and defects, but told him she couldn't.
She then told him that someone threatened to hurt her the previous night and for her to break up with him or suffer the consequences. Particularly, Brick being killed and her being set up. As tears fell from her eyes, she then told him that they'd still be friends, no matter what. Brick agreed and gave her a massive good-bye hug, being careful not to hurt her as he held her tightly against him, savoring the embrace they both shared.
Monique comes back to the present and sees Scott smiling at her catch, nodding in approval at her beauty. He then walks over and introduces himself. "Hello, I'm Scott Tracy."
Monique smiles and says, "I'm Monique Thompson. Nice to meet you, Scott Tracy."
Scott replies, "Likewise, Monique Thompson." The two then start making small talk, starting with what they do for work. Monique is straightforward, but Scott is vague, saying, "Freelance operations. Very boring stuff, really."
Bonnie then says, "Guys, it's time for the garter toss!" Scott nods, blushing and Monique waves him onto the floor to participate in the toss. When the men are in position, Hirotaka gently removes the garter from Bonnie's thigh, causing a rousing laugh as he comes out of her dress, garter in hand.
He then aims it deftly and launches it into the gathering of males. Of all the men there, Scott catches it, a massive blush coming to his face. He looks back over at Monique, a sheepish grin on his face and Monique smiles back at him as he walks toward her.
As Monique considers the information that Scott told her, her juice-dar comes up and she smells a piece of really juicy gossip when she hears a strange ring-tone of a cell phone. Scott looks over and sees Jeff answer it and nods. He then hangs up and waves his arm to Scott, Virgil and Gordon.
Scott sighs and says, "Sorry, Monique. But I have to go to work now. Maybe we can catch a movie some time?"
Monique smiles and says, "I'd like that, Scott. A whole lot." She then brings out a piece of paper and writes her phone number down. She gives it to him, saying, "Have a good day at work, Scott."
Scott nods in reply, says, "F.A.B., Monique" and heads to the door, walking out with his family and friends.
Connie and Lonnie then walk over to Monique, giggling. Monique asks, "What? What's so funny, Connie and Lonnie?"
Lonnie replies, "Looks like you found yourself a match, Monique. Just like Connie and I think we did with Virgil and Gordon. They happen to do freelance operations." She sees Monique's face, her eyes wide open and her jaw widely open.
Connie asks, "What's wrong, Monique?"
Monique quietly says, "That's exactly what Scott Tracy said he does. And what does F.A.B. mean?"
Connie and Lonnie, at the same time, say, "Tracy? F.A.B.? They are brothers!" All three girls then share a good laugh and start outside, to wish the new couple a happy honeymoon.
As they get outside the Church, Monique looks around and sees a pink car with six wheels drive away at a high rate of speed, a bus right behind it, moving just as quickly. The sight perplexes her even more.
Bonnie and Hirotaka's car leave afterward, amid the thrown rice and the cheers. As he drives, Hirotaka looks at Bonnie and smiles, as softly as before. Bonnie sees this and returns the soft smile. They come to a stop and Hirotaka takes a very good look at Bonnie's face. Tears falling, yet a smile on her face.
Hirotaka sighs and says, "Bonnie, I'd like to know where Yori was buried so I can pay my respects to her."
Bonnie nods and replies, "That's understandable. After all, she was your classmate and friend."
Hirotaka softly nods and adds, "She was also my cousin." Bonnie gasps and reaches over, taking Hirotaka's hand into hers, squeezing gently to comfort him, even though he's on edge still.
Bonnie softly says, "I'll guide you to her grave, darling. And I'll stand with you if you like." Hirotaka nods and Bonnie starts giving him directions to the Cemetery and her grave. When they get there, they exit the car and Bonnie walks with him to Yori's grave. Once they reach the grave, the see the inscription on the headstone.
'Here lies Yori Ashemi. Devoted friend, student and heroine to her peers'.
Hirotaka sniffs and says, "That's beautiful. Who came up with it?"
Bonnie replies, "Ron did. Since Yori was his first Japanese friend, he wanted her headstone to stand out. So he picked the most beautiful phrase as much as he could while keeping her dignity intact."
Hirotaka softly smiles and says, "Remind me to thank Ron when we return home, Bonnie." Bonnie nods and smiles back at him.
She then says, "Take as long as you need to." Hirotaka nods and Bonnie steps away, giving him some space.
He looks down at the headstone and softly smiles, saying, "Ron may be a bit of a goofball, but he knows beautiful words and phrases, my cousin. I only wish I could have been with you as you evacuated. Perhaps you'd still be alive and able to see Ron and Kim, being happy together. Sadly, however, I was one of the first students that Monkey Fist and his cohort grabbed. But I was saved by Street Hawk and learned his identity. Ron is Street Hawk. I'm sure he wishes he had revealed his identity to you before you died. I joined the team several months ago, so I'm a crime-fighter as well. My code-name is Ninja. Well, today was my wedding day. Bonnie and I are going to have a child. Please, watch over us all, my cousin Yori."
He bows to the headstone and gently walks away, joining up with Bonnie and the newlyweds return to their car, intent on starting their honeymoon. As they leave the Cemetery, a mist forms around and takes shape. The apparition looks at the headstone and nods in approval.
It then says, "Thank you, Hirotaka-san. It confirms my suspicions of Street Hawk-san and Ron-san being the same person. I can now rest easy, knowing you are in good hands. I will watch over you and the rest of the team." Yori's ghostly visage gives a slight smile before she fades away.
