AN: And so we end another tale, and how better to end it than with a party! Again, don't own KP and I don't own this song, but it sure is good on a summers day!
Chapter 4: Epilogue
The passenger capacity of the Valkyrie had been doubled and more all for a good cause, spring break comes only once a year after all.
Kim looked back on the passenger compartment behind her usual seat as copilot, her fiancee was flying today, playing various country tunes to get everyone in the mood for a party. He had rented a whole island for the occasion... and the occasion was nothing more than a party!
His folks had initially balked at releasing the amount of money needed to rent a whole island in the South Pacific but he had proven he was trustworthy in the past year, mostly with how he handled his duties as Captain of the most powerful plane known to man. He had bought a home on a large expanse of land on the outskirts of Middleton, between himself and Wade they had created a small and very secure air base and team headquarters.
She loved her man, Ron only seemed to get better... he doted on her every day, the butterflies in her stomach were never ending. She had spoken about it with her mother and was shocked to find that her Mom still felt that way about her Dad... it gave her the confidence to say 'yes' to Ron when he had asked only a month earlier for her hand in marriage. She smiled at the memory of that day and looked over towards him.
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
An' so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him somethin',
I think I'll just call it a day.
Ron was singing good and loud, getting in the mood to marinate, and everyone was joining in.
The Possibles, Tweebs and Nana included, the Stoppables, Monique and her family, Felix and his Mom were all there, even Mr. Steven Barkin himself singing along at the top of his lungs... how Ron convinced him to come I'll never know. Barkin was there though wearing sandals, khaki cargo shorts and a tropical shirt that was just as loud as Ron's... and he was dancing with Felix's mom. Wade and his family had been asked to come but politely declined, he did send a Wadebot though so he could at least see some of the fun.
Kim had to think back on the year since they defeated Drakken and Shego, the world was so much quieter now. What they had done flying the Valkyrie had become common household knowledge around the world, it had stunned the villain community. The Seniors were being quiet and had gone into legitimate business as purveyors of fine luxury homes around the globe. Lord Montgomery Fiske had gone back to archeology, taking his monkey ninjas with him as assistants... his logic being they cost less than grad students. Killigan had become the course pro at St. Andrews in Scotland, Ron had actually learned the auld game from him in the past few months in preparation for this vacation and he had said Duff had been full of it all day taking about the past. Gemini still worried her, he had dropped off the face of the planet, no sign of him for months... marinate not think!
"I don't hear my Kimmie singing!" Ron had seen her face twist into worry and turned to her flipping the plane on autopilot, tickling her ribs until she laughed long and hard.
"Ok, ok, uncle, cease fire Captain!" She decided to make her commander happy and sing along... it was always the best path to more Ronshine.
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
As the big plane streaked through the blue skies toward the white sand beach that would be their home for the next week and a half everyone on board sang louder and harder than ever before... well, everyone except a certain redhead and her badical blonde fiancee, they were proving that on Valkyrie not only the power systems could do fusion.
AN: Ok I've left a bit of leeway here for a sequel if everyone wants it but do not expect it anytime soon. Hayabusa comes first then a new long term story I have been working on called Global Rescue followed by a KP/X-Men Evolution crossover called Just A Touch (tentative title!) and a bit of a controversial story called In Her Life that will have a 2nd chapter added soon. I hope you have enjoyed my tale and please read and review!
