Let's Go Shopping
Kim and Ron continued the freak test for the better part of an hour, before Ron broke off the test to tell Kim of his other problem. "Kim, none of my old pants fit anymore, I can go out in these sweats but I'll look lame." Ron said. Kim breaking off from her end of the freak test had just the plan. "I'm going to call Monique; we'll get you some rad bf threads for ya." Kim said all bubbly. Ron was kind of nervous about a KP/Monique makeover of his wardrobe, "You know KP, just a few pairs of pants and I'll be fine." Ron added as he started to follow Kim out of the bedroom.
Kim called Monique at her job at Club Banana, with Ron in tow reminding Kim that his hockey jersey still fit pretty well and he didn't want to throw it our or anything. "Ron stop obsessing, were just going to get a few things for you…Oh hi Monique!" Kim finally got through on the phone. "Hey Monique, when do you get off? We kind of have a fashion emergency at Ron's house." Ron was standing close to the phone and could hear her say that Ron was always a fashion emergency. "Hey I heard that!" Ron wailed Kim silenced Ron with a finger to the lips, "A couple of hours sounds great and bring a tape measure…Ron's a little taller now." Kim Added.
Ron was kind of shuffling his feet, "Well, were here in the kitchen, want some snackage? I haven't really eaten anything today." Ron said. Kim shot her boyfriend and mischievous smile and informed him that the "Freak Teat" wasn't over. Ron was beginning to enjoy the "Freak Test", only because he seemed to be doing so well on it.
The couple left the kitchen and headed to the living room, Kim told Ron to sit on the couch and then she proceeded to sit down next to him. "Ok, in part 3 of the test I lean into you and you put your arm around me. Got it?" Ron liked part 3 but had to ask Kim just how many parts of this test were there? "Kim looked at him and batted her eyes and told him in a very sultry voice, "Why Mr. Stoppable, there are only about 12 more parts to go. Not getting tired of me are you?" she teased. Ron got a big silly grin on his face, he knew better than to say yes.
Monique was bouncing around the Club Banana for the next two hours, she couldn't wait to see the new Ron. Once it was time to go she grabbed her tape measure and a pad of paper and pencil to get Ron's measurements just right. Monique was thrilled her friend had finally figured out the guy that she saved the world with all the time was the guy for her. Everyone had seen the relationship coming except those two, she thought.
Moniquie cleared the mall in record time and hopped in the car with her older Brother Keejay. Drop me at Ron's Keejay, I'm on a mission for Kim. Keejay being the cool player that he was with his 10 year old car, eyed his sister. "She puttin' gas in the tank? I ain't no taxi service and I ain't no friend of Wade's." said in no nonsense tone. Monique wasn't having anything to do with Keejay's "tude", "I didn't ask you, I told you, now drop me off over at Ron's before I slap that big head of yours." They went on bickering like they always do whenever they're together, until they reached the Stoppable residence. "Don't think I'm hanging around here to give you and your friends rides either." Keejay yelled. "Quit smellin' yourself and get your broke down piece of junk hoopty car on home before I tell mom!" Monique fired back.
Now to the business at hand Monique thought as she walked up the 3 steps to Ron's front door. She reached out and rang the door bell, she heard some rustling from the inside the house and then she heard Kim's voice, "Coming" Kim answered the door, her hair was a bit messed up and she looked a bit rumpled, "Hi Monique, come on in." Kim gestured towards the living room.
Once in the living room Monique caught her first glimpse of Ron, "Oh My" she exclaimed, "You have got tall." She finished. She also noticed that Ron had mussed up hair and a bright red blush to him. "What have you two been doing today?" Monique inquired, already guessing at the answer.
Ron kind of smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his right hand up and down the back of his neck while he searched for an answer. Kim was there to help Ron out of the ticklish subject. "I was giving Ron a freak test." She answered enthusiastically. "Yea and I passed." Ron added. Monique gave Kim a knowing glance and told Ron in a most serious voice, "Ron somehow I just knew you was going to pass the freak test." Ron seemed to enjoy the compliment, not know for sure if the compliment was sincere or if he'd just been slammed.
Monique got down to business and surveyed the damage, Ron's pants were obviously too small. They were about 3 inches off his ankles and about an inch below his waist. Monique could see the top of Ron's boxer shorts peaking out the top. She took his inseam, it was 33 inches, better go with 34 to be safe. Waist 28 inches, "Your too skinny, need to eat more nacos Ron." Monique added.
Once Monique finished her measurements and Kim was out of the room for a few minuets that his arms had stayed the same length and that his feet were the same size. He was just growing into his body. Ron enjoyed hearing that, at least there was some good news to come out of all this. "And you know what else? You'll be a bigger help to Kim on her missions now because you won't be so clumsy." Monique added. Ron got a big toothy grin on his face; he liked all this new attention.
Mrs. Dr. P was heading over to the house to give the 3 teens a ride up to the mall, Ron eagerly ran up to his room and attacked his life savings of $46 and some change. He was almost as excited as the day after the prom, when he and Kim became a couple. He saw Rufus taking in the whole show and then he slapped his shoulder and said, "Come on little buddy, we're going shopping!" Down the stairs the two ran.
Mrs. Dr. P arrived and took in the new spectacle of the "Tall Ron", Ron was showing her his new longer legs. Mrs. Dr. P was impressed and reached up and patted Ron on the shoulder and told him, "What a difference a weekend makes."
On the way to the mall the girls excitedly discussed what would be the "Tall Ron" look. "One thing for sure, he'll need new cargo pants." Kim mused. "Agreed" Monique chimed in, "Can't go save the world in short pants." She added. Ron was starting to fidget, all the new cloths ideas sounded really good but he kind of liked his old baggy pants and hockey shirt. Since the girls were having so much fun dressing up their new life size Ron doll, he figured that he's just keep his fears to himself.
Once at Club Banana Ron found his new mission pants, they were baggy and khaki and like his old ones except longer. Monique made him pretend he was climbing a rope latter and his pants ended up around his knees. Kim put her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing as Ron scampered back into the changing room. Monique just shook her head "Well at least the boy wears clean underwear." She said with a devilish grin.
Kim found an obnoxious pair of yellow pants in Ron's size and handed them to him. Ron took one look at the monstrosity and let everyone know in no uncertain terms, "I am not wearing yellow pants; real men don't wear yellow pants." Kim shot him a tweaked look and told him to quit being a baby and try the pants on. Once Ron came out of the changing room, Kim winced, "Take those pants off." She told him. Ron just threw up his hands and yelled from the changing room, "See!" Rufus liked the yellow pants, the little naked mole rat was rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically. Kim silenced him with a no nonsense look.
Once they finished shopping Ron felt like he went through a blender, with all the different cloths he tried on, and oh how he wished that they'd put a revolving door up on those changing rooms. It was getting late in the evening and Ron still hadn't eaten all day. Mrs. Dr. P drove thru Bueno Nacho for him, and then dropped off Monique at her house. Kim was still going on about heading to Smarty Mart tomorrow, Ron just smiled and listened. Ron was getting pretty tired.
Once back at the Stoppable house, Kim told her mother to go on ahead and she'd be home in a few. Mrs. Dr. P told her she was going to wait for her and then once home there're was going to be a big family meeting to discuss the weekends camping trip. Kim pulled her head down into her shoulders, obviously disappointed. Kim thought she'd dodged that issue earlier in the day.
She walked with Ron up to the door; Ron shuffled his feet around nervously and then looked Kim in the eyes. "Thanks KP, I really needed you today." Ron said smiling sheepishly. "Oh no big Ron, always happy to go through a crises with my BF." Kim said affectionately. Ron bent over and gave Kim a kiss and a big hug, and quietly whispered in her ear. "More "Freak Testing" tomorrow." He asked. Kim kissed him again and whispered in his ear "Nat." The two teens giggled and Ron took Rufus and his food into the house with him.
Once inside Ron survived the 20 questions from his parents and told them of his day of cloths shopping, and how Mrs. Dr. P had given drove them around. Ron went up to his mom and gave her a big hug and then his dad.
Now that he was back in the privacy of his own room, he turned on the TV to catch a rerun of "Fearless Ferret" and settled down to eat his nacos. He looked over to the dresser and watched Rufus happily eating his cheese nachos, Rufus had chips flying in all directions and this made Ron happy. Once he finished eating he scooted back on the bed and sat against the wall and just marveled at what a great day it was.
Ron wasn't really paying attention to the TV anymore, he was just marveling at what special people Kim and Monique were to drop everything and come to help him. Ron curled up in bed and closed his eyes, wondering what kind of new "Freak Test" Kim would dream up tonight. He dozed off secure in the knowledge that life just couldn't get any better than this.
