"Silence is the true friend that never betrays"
-- Confucius

Filled to the Brim

I.

Ron shivered as he kicked his shoes off. Turning to the giggling girl next to him he smiled lightly. "Hey I don't know what kind of belts you have on your planet but sometimes the ones here fail."

Ron shook his head when all the girl did was grin even more. Reaching for a towel he started to dry his own hair off. "That may be true but I don't imagine most people have a wardrobe malfunction while on stage Ron." Turning he stuck his tongue out at her which only caused her to laugh even more.

'Great even the girls from space think I'm a funny guy.' Sighing he draped the towel over his shoulder and really looked at his companion at his side. Her long red hair was currently being ruffled up as she attempted to dry it with the towel. Her bright green eyes were staring innocently away as she continued to giggle to herself. Without realizing it his eyes drifted towards her wet shirt admiring the way...with a conscious effort he ripped his eyes away and stared up the stair. "Well I imagine you want to go get changed. I'm just going to throw something on and then I'll make dinner."

He saw Kim nod in agreement before turning to head up the stairs. At least that was his intention before two hands grabbed him around the waste and two soft objects pressed against his back. Stiffing he felt a light warm breath against his ear. "Mind if I help you with that?"

"Shego..." His chest was contracting as he realized what those two soft objects against his back were. Teenage male brains were not designed to take this.

"Shego! Get off of Ron or so help me I'll..."

He could hear light laughter beside him as he fought desperately to gain control of himself. "Or you'll do what Princess?"

Crackling electricity caused his hair to stand up on end as he swiftly turned around trying to catch sight of the coming disaster. What he saw was two alien girls about ready to kill each other one with green energy crackling around her while the other had multiple little wooden logs, very small ones mind you, twirling around her while she crouched her leg extended forward and her hands up ready to strike. This was not good and for the life of him Ron couldn't figure out how to stop this. It was Kim who broke the silence first. "I see monsters like you Shego have no manners but while I'm here I won't let you feel up our host like this. Now I suggest you apologize."

"Why Princess, do I detect a hint of jealousy." Shego chuckle caused Ron's survival instinct to scream for him to run and hide. He could see why when he saw the red flush of anger spread across Kim's face and the way she edged forward indicated she was about ready to give into baser instincts.

It was at this moment when tensions were at their highest when the front door opened and a gray haired figure stepped forward. Ron's voice filled with relief as he called a greeting to the man. "Grandpa am I glad to see you!"

Ron's grandfather's face broke out in a small grin as he surveyed the scene in front of him before winking at Ron. "So I see my grandson already has a couple of attractive young women fighting over him." Ron blushed as he coughed at that statement. He wasn't sure but he thought Kim did the same and he knew Shego just leered in his direction. "Regardless I must insist that my grandson show the soaked young lady towards the bath so she can get cleaned up. Though I must ask why you haven't already done so Ronald."

Ron gulped as he heard the distinct hard tone used when his grandfather said his name. Deciding quick action was the only way to solve this Ron waved his hand at the Princess. "Here KP let me show you towards the bathroom."

Kim blinked as she started forward following him. "KP?"

"Yeah? Just thought it sounded right with your first name being Kim and your last being Possible. Why do you not like it?"

Shego opened her mouth to say something smart but Kim must have sensed it as she quickly shook her head. "No its fine, now how about showing me towards that bathroom. I could use a little heating up." Ron failed to notice the quick blush that spread across her face or the smirk on his Grandfather and Shego face. Instead he was too busy telling her about all the joys of the bathroom. He also failed to notice the wooden logs, or also know as the 'floating things surrounding the young Princess', did not disappear till Kim could no longer see or hear Shego.

II.

Ron sighed as he stirred the pasta looking across the table at the weird pink rodent sitting there. The thing was currently watching him with large black eyes that seemed to scream something. What it was Ron couldn't guess. Try as he might he also could not recall what Shego had culled it. Something about more mighty or along those lines at least. It was yet another thing to confirm the woman's overall weird factor.

"So little buddy, guess you're my helper for today?" The rodent actually saluted at that before going off on some sort of squeaking rant.

"Right?" Ron shook his head before grabbing a block of cheese and started to grate it into the salad nearby. Looking back he saw that the rodent had moved from the table and was now standing below him with its little tale wagging. "Um...want?" Ron held out a piece of the cheese and offered it to the little guy who eagerly accepted.

Watching the rodent eat the cheese with eager abandon Ron couldn't help but chuckle. "Well little guy guess you like the stuff." Ron grinned when the rodent head started to bob up and down. Though referring to the little guy as 'the rodent' wouldn't do for long. "Now what's a good name for you?" Ron rubbed his chin as two black eyes stared at him with interest until memories of his first 'friend' came to mind. "I know how about Rufus! You like that name?" Rufus for his part just shrugged his shoulders and held his paws out asking for more cheese. Ron gave his new little friend another chunk.

Ron turned back to preparing tonight's dinner after that leaving Rufus to fend for himself when it came down to entertainment. It was about ten minutes later that Ron was interrupted by yet another house guest. He saw a streak of red hair out of the corner of his eyes minutes before a picture of a fashion model was thrust into his face. "Is this what Earth women wear?"

Blinking Ron backed off enough to see Kim standing there holding a magazine in one hand and fidgeting with her hair with the other. Looking again at the picture he saw it was one of those crazy fashion magazines with the women dressed up like over stuffed birds and such. Shaking his head Ron pointed at the picture. "No sane woman I know would ever dress like that. Why?"

Kim sighed as she removed her hand tugging on her hair and pointed down at her clothes. "I asked your father if there were any good spots in the local town here and he made a comment about how I couldn't go out dressed like this. Said I looked too weird. I don't look weird!" Studying the outfit she was wearing she sighed. "I do look weird by Earth standards don't I?"

Ron smiled at her and nodded his head. "A little." Pointing towards the Rufus behind him he tried to change the topic. "By the way have you meet Rufus?"

"Take me shopping." Kim didn't speak loudly but it was clear to Ron that she expected that he would do so without protest.

"What? Why?" Ron scratched the back of his head as he stared at Kim expecting some sort of answer.

"Well I want to actually be able to go outside this house without being stared at and that means I need standard Earth clothing for women my age. I figure you're the best person to go to since we are friend."

Ron blinked at that. "Friends?"

He watched as Kim suddenly blushed and shuffled her feet before him. It took her a few moments to respond. "Well I don't really have that many friends and all and I figured since we were able to talk to each other so easily that you wouldn't mind being my friend. I hope that doesn't sound odd or anything like that but it would be nice to have someone here I could call a friend. You don't mind right?"

Sighing Ron shook his head. "Nah just caught off guard...KP nothing more then that." Turning back to the pasta he motioned behind him. "How about you set the table and we'll talk about where to go tomorrow for shopping."

It was with a surprise that Ron found two arms circling around his waist after that statement. "Thanks Ron!"

Nodding his head dumbly Ron continued to cook. "No big."

III.

Kim tugged again at the oversized jersey she was currently wearing which happened to be one of Ron's. It was decided last night that till she got her own clothing she would be better off wearing Ron's to the mall in order to better hide her alien origins or something like that. Anyway Kim couldn't help but notice a few stares in her direction which seemed to indicate that what she was wearing wasn't ordinary. Sighing she followed behind Ron as he made his way to what appeared to be a clothing store. "Now usually I'd take us to Smarty Mart, where smart shoppers shop smart, but a horde of locust devoured the store last month. Real shame about that so Grandpa suggested we go to 'Club Banana' instead. Probably some small no name store that only old people visit but it's a start at least."

Kim nodded her head as she followed him into the store. Glancing around she noticed various articles of clothes hanging in ordered rows and for the life of her just didn't know where to start. She'd have to depend on Ron to give her advice it looked like. "Are you looking for anything in particular?"

With a startled gasp Kim turned around noticing a dark skinned girl, about her age, standing off to her side looking at her intently. "Um..."

It was Ron who stepped in though and saved her the trouble of answering any awkward questions. "Actually we could use your help..."

"Monique."

"Monique you see my...friend here had her clothing destroyed in a recent flood and we need to get some replacements. Now she's a bit 'foreign' so she's going to need some help picking some stuff out. Now I was thinking..."

Monique held up her hand quickly stopping Ron in mid-sentence. "One question. Is she currently wearing your clothes?"

"Yes?" Kim blinked as she noticed the disapproving look on Monique face. Was this a culture no-no on Earth?

Sighing Monique pointed towards the exit. "Just wait outside and I'll help make this girl 'presentable'." With another sigh Monique grabbed Kim's hand and started to lead her away. "I don't know what that boy was thinking dressing you like that but I'll have you looking like a girl in no times. Nothing against your boyfriend but his sense of fashion is somewhat lacking. Well any colors you like?"

"Um...green, blue, and pink are nice I think." Looking with desperation at Ron she noticed he had already obeyed the orders of the one know as Monique and was quietly waiting by the entrance.

"Well that leaves a lot of options open and with your figure I can definitely try out some of the nicer outfits. Now just to figure out what looks good on you." Leading Kim over to a rack of clothes Monique started to sort through them glancing between selected pieces and Kim. A small pile started to grow as Monique hummed to herself and Kim started to relax watching as various odd pieces of clothing flashed by. "So how long have you two been dating?"

Kim blinked as she looked back up at Monique. "Excuse me?"

Monique waved absently in the direction of the door before throwing herself again into the clothes. "You know your boyfriend."

"Oh." Kim frowned trying to figure out what Monique wanted. Yes Ron was a boy and her friend so she was probably trying to figure out when they had met. That must be it. "Well we meet a few days ago. You see I had accidentally abducted him and this crazy woman crashed my ship into the sea...well it was complicated." Kim just shook her head reliving those moments.

For her part Monique just chuckled. "You crazy kids with your space ships and abductions. Never heard that story before." Stepping back Monique held up a green shirt that to Kim's horror was very short. "Well this will do for a shirt and I was thinking of blue jeans to finish off your first outfit. Now how about you try this on."

Kim shook her head as she looked at it. "Isn't it a little too...revealing?"

Monique just laughed at Kim's legit concerns and pointed at another section of the store. "Girlfriend those are too revealing this is down right decent by today standards."

Kim bit her lip and decided that some sacrifices must be made for Earth standard fashion after all. If this is what Earth girls wore then she'd have to wear it too.

It was over an hour later when Kim was finally done picking out her outfit and now stood before Ron to see what he though. Smiling she turned in the baggy blue jeans and green tank top that Monique had selected for her while Ron stood there mouth open. "Well?"

Kim grinned when Ron choked slightly and turned towards the side with a faint blush on his face. "You look badical KP guess Grandpa's money was well spent. Speaking of which." Pulling out a plastic square he handed it to Monique with a smile on his face. "Thanks I appreciate you helping KP out and all."

Monique smiled as she swiped the card. "No problem I enjoyed our time together and I'm hoping Kim will remember to stop by and check out our new Aphrodite line coming in next week."

Kim smiled and nodded her head already planning on what new outfits she would get. Shopping was fun after all. "I'll be there Monique."

Grinning Monique handed Ron a slip of paper and waved in the direction of Kim. "Now you take care of that girl ok she's a keeper after all."

Ron just frowned at Monique in confusion before nodding and walking towards Kim. "Don't know what that's about but it's as good an excuse as any to visit Bueno Nacho. Not as good as what they got in the states but it'll fill you up. Grandpa's treat of course." Grinning Kim followed Ron intent on finding out what the food at his favorite establishment, one which he had talked a lot about, was like.

IV.

Shego shook the bowl of chips in front of her letting lose an irritated sigh. Was it so much to ask for a good quality chip and not these plain tasteless pieces of cardboard they called chips. Where was the kick? Earth food was so bland that she was more scared of dying from boredom then anything else. At least it was better then Jurai food which more resembled what a deer would eat then anything else. Now the rock people of Oriolu could make a nice dish spicy enough to cause some people's tongues to fall off. Now that was cooking right. 'Well on Earth eat what the Earthiers like I guess.' Shaking her head Shego shuddered with memories of the bland sandwiches she'd been forced to make. After all she wouldn't want to cause Ronnie injury from the food she'd made since she had other plans that required a more healthy state for the boy. Now Kimmie was another issue but better to do it personally then use food. Food was too sacred for that.

Sighing she turned on the television, a skill she had picked up quickly, and began flipping through the nonsense on it. Various programs appeared including one with a blond kid flying around in a black giant robot. Shaking her head Shego settled back to watch as the action unfolded. Minutes into the program she angrily waved her hand at it and cursed out the pilot. "For crying out loud just kiss the stupid red head already if your so in love with her. God you'd think all young people run around crazy like that."

Glancing back up at the clock she muttered again about certain red heads in real life taking away her only source of entertainment. Lifting the controller to turn off the T.V. she was interrupted when a young annoyed voice came from her left. "Hey we're watching that too. We want to know what happens next!"

Turning Shego spotted Ron's grandfather and Kim's little sister drinking tea and eating crackers at the table nearby. Shaking her head Shego settled back in willing to let the brat have her way. At least it was something to do. Leaning further back into the sofa she closed her eyes listening to the typical screaming coming from the screen as insults were shot back and forth. Apparently the older officer in charge of the blond kid forgot his wife's birthday.

"So did you fall from heaven or am I just seeing stars?" Shego let out a tortured sigh as her head turned slightly to see the fat, short, bespectacled older man sitting next to her. Ron might have been a sweet innocent kid but his father was no where near as shy. Shego decided she liked the shy type more.

"I already said that I came from a cave already so leave me alone." Turning a pleading eye towards the other people in the room all she was rewarded with was the young girl debating the finer points of tea with the old man. Great!

"Oh a cave you say...makes me want to play Flintstones with you." Shego watched with growing irritation as his hand approached her leg. With a sigh she lighted up her fist.

Holding the now glowing claws under his face she let a hard tone come into her voice. "Alright no touchie 'kay?"

He only smiled more. "I like it when a girl plays hard to get..." He didn't finish the line before Shego picked him up and threw him across the room. Like his son she knew the father would be alright once he regained consciousness. Again the kid and the geezer didn't even react just like every time she had thrown the guy into the wall since Kimmie had dragged her only entertainment off somewhere.

Shego was about to settle back down and watch the red headed girl go off on a rant about how space people were more enlightened when the doorbell decided to ring at that moment. Grunting again in her annoyance Shego phased through the sofa and floated along towards the door muttering death threats to any sales person foolish enough to stop by. Unless of course they were selling magazines after all she was starting to run out of material to read. Opening the door she saw a young Asian girl with long black hair and brown eyes standing there in a school uniform. Papa Stoppable would be heartbroken to know he'd miss this one. "What do you want?"

The girl for her part just looked at Shego with a blank face. "Is this the residence of Stoppable-san?"

"Younger or older?" Shego pointed to the currently snoring form of the older Stoppable making her point.

"My apologies for being unclear I meant the younger."

Shego nodded as she waved at the house. "Yeah he lives here though he's currently taking the princess out shopping. Why your not dating him, are you?"

Again the girl did not exhibit any outside emotions. "And if I am Miss?"

Shego chuckled as she leaned against the wall looking the girl up and down. "Well I hate to break it to you honey but the boy's already taken."

"By you?"

Shego flipped her hair as she studied the girl whose face was now starting to show a bit of anger in it. "Well theirs me and a few other girls living here. You don't think we just eat his food and he gets nothing in return now do you?"

The girl was now clearly struggling to keep her calm. "Stoppable-san is not that way. I will have to ask you to rephrase what you just said or I will defend Stoppable-san honor myself."

Shego smiled as she waved to the figure behind her. A male voice startled the young girl at the door as she turned quickly around. "Defend my honor from what?"

The girl instead of answering pointed back at Shego. "Ron-san why is this...harlot in you home!" Pointing then to Kim who was standing next to Ron she again shot out a question. "And who is this may I ask?"

"Um..." Shego smiled seeing Ron now scratching his head nervously.

"Well for that matter who exactly are you!" This time Kim was pointing at the Asian girl seeming upset. Turning to Ron she waved in the girl's direction some more. "Well Ron what's going on?"

"Um..." At this point Shego couldn't hold it in more as she broke out laughing.

To be continued...

A/N: Well sorry about the lack of updates hope you all enjoy this. I'll try to update more but with school and other projects I've been delayed of late. Anyway enjoy and as always please leave a review. If you do you get back a personal reply.

Now onto other business the coming attractions. I've got some plans to write a few more fusions, once I finish the ones I'm working on, and I figure I'll clue you all in first. Anyway the plan is to write a sequel to the current Gundam fusion and I was also thinking of trying out a Ranma fusion. I've also got a He-man fusion plotted out, guess who plays Prince Adam and no it's not Ron, and a tentative idea for an Evangelion one though I got no idea who should play Rei (aka: freaky girl). I've also got a few non-fusions planned including Mr. P back story, did you know he was a villain, and a few other fics taking place later in the kids lives. Probably a Ron/Bon one as well. Anyway that's just a summing up of Surforst plans and hope you all look forward to it. Though you'll have to wait till I finish up the current fusions I'm working on.

On other fronts Surforst is still working on his current projects. Trust me I'll get them done. Honest! Anyway please drop a review in I enjoy reading them.

Well disclaimer time: I don't own KP!
