MERRY CHRISTMAS
While it was true that Ron was Jewish and thereby didn't celebrate Christmas he had always made it a point to attend the Possible's Christmas party. Over the years he and Kim would usually try to keep to themselves most of the time. This was mostly due to the fact that some of the tweebs friends would attend the party and their antics would make it almost unbearable for the two teens. Kim's parents would invite everyone that they worked with. While Kim and Ron got along with them all it always felt like meeting the relatives at holidays where they'd all comment on how big you were getting and ask you inane and boring questions that you'd have to answer again and again.
But now that Kim and Ron had moved beyond being just friends and had become boyfriend and girlfriend both were nervous about the party. Kim expected to have to reintroduce Ron to every one of her parent's friends and tell how they became a couple while ignoring the reactions of her little brothers. Ron was more afraid that he'd do something to embarrass Kim more than usual.
"Will you cut it out Ron, they'll love you," Kim groaned with an impatient frown on her face as she sat on Ron's bed playing checkers with Rufus while she watched Ron getting ready out of the corner of her eye.
"Do you not remember your dad' warning with the rocket ship and the black hole," Ron exclaimed back with an over anxious look on his face as he waved his hands around to further emphasize his point.
"He's just…overprotective, king me," Kim replied with a slightly amused smirk on her face before she moved one of her checkers and grinned at Rufus as the naked mole rat grumbled while stacking one of her defeated checkers on top of the one that she had just moved.
"Sorry KP, but," Ron started to say back with a nervous look on his face when he was silenced when Kim grabbed his hand and pulled him down onto the bed beside her and laid her head on his shoulder.
"They'll love you because I do, besides my mom will back us up, she's wanted us together for years, and she can talk my dad into anything," Kim added back with an impatient smile on her face as she reached up and trailed her left index finger up Ron's neck and then down his jaw until she got to his chin.
"But Kim," Ron started to weakly mumble with a somber pout on his face, while Rufus let out a sigh and rolled his eyes, before Kim leaned in and silenced him with a soft kiss.
"Less talk more walk Stoppable, we don't want to be late," Kim stated with a very clear and serious look on her face, as the two were nose to nose, before she let Rufus scramble up onto her shoulder. She rose from the bed and winked back at Ron over her shoulder as she walked out of the room, catching sight of Ron flopping back onto his bed with a content sigh before she shut the door.

The party was in full swing by the time that Ron and Kim arrived. Ron had finally settled on a pair of his nicest khaki's and a festive holiday sweater. At first Kim had eyed him like he was crazy, but he had explained that it was a present a couple of years ago from her parents and that they'd love it. She thought differently and made him march back into his room before she pulled a navy blue sweater and a white dress shirt out of his closet and handed them to him. He had changed in record time, after of course making sure that Kim wasn't looking. Though what she wouldn't tell him until years later was that while she had indeed turned around she had turned towards the mirror in his room and seen everything with a slightly devilish smirk on her face.
"Kimmie," Dr. Possible exclaimed with an excited, and somewhat relieved, wide grin on his face as he threw his arms out wide before enveloping both teens in a tight hug.
"Merry Christmas to you to dad, sorry we're late," Kim stuttered out with an awkward expression on her face before her mother walked over and pulled them all inside and shut the door.
"Forget about it, I'm just glad that you showed up before your father," Mrs. Possible stated with a warm and festive smile on her face as she made Dr. Possible break the hug before she leaned in close to Kim and whispered the last bit into her daughter's ear.
"The roads are icy, I was just worried about," James started to say with a proud but flustered tone to his voice before Kim cut him off.
"We'd love to stay and chat dad but I have to introduce Ron to Nana, bye," Kim quickly said with a nervous smile on her face before she grabbed Ron's arm and pulled him away.
"Kim…what was that for, Nanna already loves me," Ron asked with a confused look on his face as Kim finally stopped pulling him as the two entered the living room.
"I know, I could tell that my dad was about to pull you aside and read you the riot act," Kim replied with a soft smile and shrug of her shoulders as she scanned the crowd.
"Who are you looking for," Ron asked with a confused look on his face as he slinked his left arm around her waist while Rufus scrambled up to sit on his shoulder and allow his eyes to glaze over at the sight of all of the food on the table.
"Monique, she said that she'd be here and," Kim started to say with a slightly concerned look on her face before she spotted Monique and Brick standing together at the far end of one of the tables that was set up to hold cookies in the living room. Kim and Ron hadn't been the only couple to be formed at prom. Though it had taken them a few days afterwards Monique and Brick had been going out almost as long as Ron and Kim, sometimes double dating with them.
"Kim…over here," Monique shouted out over the clamor of the music and many animated conversations that were taking place around the room as she enthusiastically waved at her best friend.
"Monique, I'm so glad you could make it," Kim replied with a happy smile on her face as the two friends hurried to meet and hug.
"Like I would miss this," Monique shot back with a fake tone of mockery to her voice before she couldn't help but grin.
"Brick…how's it going," Ron asked with an overly cool grin on his face as he and Brick nodded slightly to each other in greeting.
"Okay," Brick calmly replied with a content smile on his face and a shrug of his shoulders before he popped a few crackers into his mouth.
"I almost thought that you two weren't going to make it," Monique said with a relieved but somewhat concerned look on her face as she turned to lightly glare at Ron.
"Ron had some trouble picking out what to wear," Kim started to reply with a warm smile and wave of her hand as if to say it was no big deal before Brick swallowed the crackers and spoke up.
"Meaning," Brick asked softly with a confused look on his face as he looked back and forth between Ron, Monique, and Kim.
"Meaning that my boy Ron has the worst fashion sense in the history of the world and Kim had to pick out his clothes," Monique explained with an amused smile on her face as she closed the distance between herself and Brick and patted him on the back.
"I liked that sweater," Ron contended with an unhappy pout on his face as he crossed his arms defiantly in front of his chest, appearing to Kim like he was five again and someone had just made fun of his hair.
"Have you seen my Nanna," Kim asked Monique softly with a slightly concerned look on her face before Monique leaned in close.
"She said something about leaving something for you and Ron in your room, you might want to check it out," Monique whispered with a guilty look of pleasure on her face, like she knew much more than she was telling.
"O…kay, thanks Monique, come on Ron," Kim replied slowly with an unsure expression on her face before she turned, grabbed Ron by the arm and started to haul him away from Monique and Brick and towards her room.
"Where are we going," Ron asked with a good natured look of confusion on his face as he smiled at some of the guests as they passed them by, leaving Rufus to dig his claw deeply into Ron's shirt to keep from being shaken off.
"My room," Kim replied with her usual look of solid determination on her face as she continued the trek before Ron stopped her and turned her around to face him.
"KP…there'll be time for that later, besides…won't your parents notice if we just skip out," Ron said softly with an embarrassed smile on his face as he couldn't help but blush a bit at what he thought Kim was thinking of.
"Get your head in the game Ron, didn't you hear Monique, Nanna left something for us up in my room, I'd like to know what it is," Kim groaned back with a quick rolling of her eyes before she grabbed Ron again by the arm and pulled him up to her room. They arrived up in Kim's room to find a medium sized wrapped box sitting on Kim's bed with a little note attached.
"Ah…this isn't any fun, she didn't even hide it," Ron pouted with a disappointed scowl on his face as he flopped down onto the bed beside the present as Kim picked it up, eyeing it oddly.
"Maybe I should have Wade scan it, make sure that it's really Nanna's present," Kim pondered aloud with a very deep in thought look on her face before Ron grumbled a bit and shot back up to his feet beside her, grabbing the box out of her hands.
"Right…like Shego snuck in here and planted a fake present on your bed…huh…Santa," Ron grumbled with an impatient frown on his face as he ripped the box open and then held the figurine in his hand, staring at it oddly.
"Ron…it belonged to Nanna, last Christmas when you went off to stop Drakken by yourself I helped her set some Santa figurines out on the mantle, this was our favorite one, I wonder why she's giving it to me," Kim replied with an impatient and frustrated look on her face before she calmly explained to Ron about the figurine.
"Oh, read the card, maybe that'll explain everything," Ron offered with a helpful smile on his face as he reached down and picked the card up out of the torn paper at his feet and handed it to Kim. She smiled softly at him as she took the card. Ron watched Kim closely as she read the card; at first she bore an expression of confusion and concern. But at the end he couldn't help but notice that she was smiling and blushing. "What is it KP," Ron asked with a concerned look on his face as he set the figurine carefully down onto the bed and laid a hand on Kim's shoulder.
"Nanna…this was the first Santa that she and my grandfather got together, it's her favorite…mine to, she's giving it to us so that we can start our own collection," Kim replied softly with a slowly growing look of being overwhelmed by emotion on her face before she couldn't help but tear up. Second's later Ron pulled her into his arms as she dropped her face onto his chest and cried.
"Hey KP…come on don't cry, she wanted you to have this," Ron started to say with a kind and worried look on his face before Kim lifted her head up off of his chest and sniffled softly.
"No, she wanted us to have this Ron," Kim interjected with a very humorous glint in her eyes as she reached up and laid a finger on Ron's lips. Moments later she replaced her finger with her lips. That Christmas was to become the first of many in a variety of ways, and it all started with a small man in red.
END OF MERRY CHRISTMAS
Author's Note: Hope you all like this story, it takes place after my first one shot of Kim and Ron and basically is a little snippet of their first Christmas together. I had Monique and Brick together after the dance and both seeming to like the other. I thought about having Tara in here to but she ended up not making it. The Santa that Nanna gives to Ron and Kim is the one that in the Christmas episode Kim says is her favorite so Nanna is giving it to Kim and Ron with a bit of a hint as to where she thinks the two's relationship is hopefully headed. I had Kim end up picking out Ron's clothes for the party as a lot of women pick out the clothes that their guy will wear for things, and it fits these two imho. Hopefully I'll have another one shot of Kim and Ron about a New Years Eve between the two after they're in college. Hope you all like this story, I couldn't get it done before Christmas but it's close enough…right
