KP - A Most Unusual Halloween

AN: I blame Halloween and too much candy for this idea.

Chapter One: Ron's Mysterious Halloween Plan

Kim was at Bueno Nacho with Ron and sipping her soda as Ron was sitting across from her all excited while was hoping for something else.

Ron says, "I can feel it Kim! This year will be or best candy collecting year ever!" with Rufus bobbing his head up and down as he squeaks "Yep-yep!"

Kim knew that Halloween was one of Ron's favorite holidays but she was tired of going in the horse costume and she also wanted to go to the costume party Monique was going to be throwing somewhere.

Kim says, "Ron... I know that you really like Halloween and all..." before Ron says excitedly, "Like isn't the word KP! What other tradition lets us spend time together AND get rewarded with CANDY!" Rufus squeaks, "Candy!" and rubs his little pink belly with his small paws while looking very happy.

Ron says, "I already have the map of all the houses with the best candy and I just know we'll be a big hit in our costumes this year!"

Kim says, "Ron, I love spending time with you too but this year I was..." Wait, did he say costumes, as in TWO? She restarts and says, "Wait Ron, did you just say costumes? We're not going to be in the horse costume this year?"

Ron smiles and shakes his head, "No way Kim, my research has shown that the horse costume is passé' this year."

This got Kim's attention and got her wondering what could possibly be the 'hot' costume for them to wear this year. She leans forward in her seat and says, "What will our costume be this year, Ron?" Forgetting about Monique's party for a second.

Ron grins really big and says, "Oh, you're just going to love our costumes Kim! We're going to be the hit of Middleton! It wasn't easy to find but with Wade's help I was able to get some in our sizes just in time for Halloween!"

Kim raises an eyebrow before frowning, as she still had not gotten her answer so she says, "Is it another animal costume Ron?"

Ron shakes his head and says, "No way Kim! This year, even Rufus is going to be part of our costume!"

Now Kim's imagination kicked in as she tried to imagine what costumes could possibly fit all three of them. Knowing Ron, she knew that they would all match each other but she'd seen Rufus naked for so long... well, there was that one time when her look was in but that was a different thing... She had a hard time imagining something all three of them could wear so she says, "Ron, what are we going to be wearing?"

Ron says, "It is going to be a surprise Kim, but rest assured that we're going to clean up in the candy this year!" All Kim can do is just stare at her best friend and wonder what he is planning.

(Later)

Ron was at his computer talking to Wade and smiling, "So Wade, are you all set?" Wade looks a little uneasy but nods and says, "Yeah, but are you sure you really want to do this Ron?"

Ron nods and says, "Yeah, this will be a Halloween she'll never forget and this way she makes up for ditching me with that lie."

Wade thinks about that one before he says, "I guess so, but don't you think the costumes will be a big giveaway?"

Ron shakes his head, and says, "Nah, and besides Kim is always saying she can do anything. Well, let's see if we can put a little scare into Kim."

Wade says, "But Ron... this is Kim we're talking about. She's faced crazy villains, mutated monsters, and more. What can you possibly do to scare Kim?"

Ron just smiles and says, "I've known Kim since pre-k, so I think I know what will scare her. Just make sure that I have full control of the situation until the very end ok?"

Wade looks confused and nods, "You've got it Ron, but if things get out of hand I want to be able to abort ok?"

Ron shakes his head, "No Wade, I have to have control or Kim might see through our plans and she won't be scared."

Wade thinks for a long time on this before he says, "Ok Ron... I trust you, but please be careful ok?"

Ron grins and says, "Thanks Wade! You rock!"

(At the Possible Residence)

Kim is on the phone with Monique and talking about Ron's big costume surprise.

Monique says over the phone, "And you couldn't get any details out of him, girl?"

Kim paces the room in front of her bed as she answers, "No, Ron was being stubborn and made me promise not to ask him for any more details or that it would spoil the surprise."

Monique thinks for a moment before she says, "You don't suppose he's got some big plan cooking do you?"

Kim looks at the phone for a second as if that was the most absurd idea she'd ever heard of. She stops pacing for a second near her computer and says, "Monique, this is RON we're talking about! He's never been one for big plans unless it comes to filling his stomach."

Monique frowns for a second and says, "I think you're underestimating him, he has always been a good partner and distraction for you when he's crime fighting right?"

Kim resumes her pacing and says, "What does that have to do with Ron's big and mysterious plans for Halloween?"

Monique sighs and knew that Kim was very sharp about the villains she usually fought but lord help her, she could be very dense when it came to Ron. She says, "Doesn't it take some planning to be an effective distraction?"

Kim pauses in her pacing as she remembers something and then shakes her head, thinking "Nah... Ron couldn't be that good..." before she says, "Distractions are just something that comes naturally to him Monique, he doesn't always have to plan it like the way you mean."

Monique twirls a strand of hair in her finger in frustration so she decides to try a different tack. She says, "You might be right but I still think it takes some effort in planning to be your sidekick. Anyway, have you thought about what kind of costumes he's going to get?"

Kim raises her hand and rests it against her forehead as she turns and leans against the wall near the door to her bedroom before she says, "Yes and I can't for the life of me, imagine what he's going to get."

Monique gets a thought and grins a little evilly as she says, "Maybe he's going to get a wedding dress for you and a really good tux for him so you two can go as a wedding couple." She grins even more as she can imagine how Kim would be looking at that very moment before she says, "I can just see it now... the two of you going door to door and getting so much candy because the two of you will look so perfect in your costumes."

Kim went bright red as soon as Monique told her about the wedding outfits, for that was one costume that she had not even remotely considered. She thought, "No! Ron wouldn't do that... would he?" She imagined how the two of them would look in the wedding costumes and when Monique mentioned going door to door, she also imagined what the people at the door would say. She hoped that none of the people she would visit were a judge or that they might think they were out to get married.

Kim blushes even more brightly and breathes a little heavily as she tries to keep away from that thought but she fails as it comes strongly and unbiddened to her in a very visual imagination. She imagined Ron and her all dressed up and walking up a judge's house and when the judge asks Ron if he'd like to marry Kim. She leans her back against the wall even as Monique's voice is saying over and over, "Kim? Are you there? Are you ok girl?" in a very worried tone.

Kim imagines Ron saying, "Yes Sir! I would love KP!" and she closes her eyes even as the imagination fades away but the words linger in her mind, echoing until it is a tiny fragment in the back of her mind. It is around this time she hears Monique shouting through the phone, "Kim!"

Kim shakes her head to remove any fog left from the strong daydream before she says, "Um, Sorry Monique... I got distracted."

Monique suppresses a giggle as she thinks, "Yeah, you were probably thinking about marrying Ron..." She then says, "Maybe he's going to dress you two up as something from one of your adventures."

Kim says, "But Monique, we are usually in our mission clothes... There's nothing special about that."

Monique giggles and says, "Maybe not to you, but you've done a lot of good saving the world. Maybe Ron figures that you two will get more candy if you're in your most recognizable clothes."

Kim walks towards her closet where the mission clothes hang and looks at him for a few moments before she says, "I... suppose you have a point Monique. Do you really think that's what Ron is planning on?"

Monique shrugs on her end and says, "Beats me girl, but my advice is that whatever he does come up with. Just smile and go with it, and have fun because Halloween only comes once a year."

Kim smiles a little and says, "Thanks Monique, you're right. It does only come once a year and I will do my best to make sure that this year Ron has the best Halloween he's ever had."

Monique smiles on her side of the phone and says, "That's the spirit girl! Just keep that in mind when Ron comes around with the surprise costumes and the both of you will have a terrific Halloween!"

Kim says, "Thanks again Monique, I don't know what I'd do without you."

Monique says back, "Hey, what are friends for Kim? Just be sure to give me all the details of how your little Halloween outing goes when you get back ok?"

Kim smiles and says, "Sure thing Monique, bye now"

Monique says, "Bye Kim" and they both hang up at about the same time.

AN: Well, I hope you liked the first chapter. There is more to come but I'd like to hear about what costume ideas you all come up with, who knows? I might even use them! Any ideas for the other KP char costumes? As for what is coming up, all I can say is that Ron's plan is one that will make Kim NEVER underestimate Ron again! (ghoulish laugh)
