Ronnie

5. gloves

"Spence! Hurry up! We're gonna be late!"

"Why don't you slow down?!"

Veronica Stoppable sighed as she slowed down to a jog.

"Thank... you...," Spencer Renton gasped as he finally caught up to his best friend.

"Know what? We already missed Jamie and Taiji heading for school!"

"Okay! Okay... Calm down, Ronnie...!"

"Alright... But we gotta get to school before... Ms. 'Becky Barking' gives us detention..."

"You mean before she gives you detention..."

"Shu-uh...!," Ronnie said, playfully shoving Spencer with her upper arm, a big smile on her face.

After walking into the school, the two 7th graders walked to their classroom and opened their lockers.

Spencer stole a look at his friends hands (he thought the fact that they could be majorly destructive at first, then 2 seconds later be so delicate and soft was amazing...) and noticed that they had a bluish tinge to them.

"What are you looking at, Spence?"

"W-what? Uh... Your... Uh... Your hands... They... Uh... They kinda got a sorta... bluish tint to 'em..."

Ronnie looked down at her hands. "Huh. You're right. They do. Well. Guess that's what I want for Christmas..."

"What?"

"Gloves."

A shadow covered the two friends.

"A-hem..." A loud, barely feminine voice cleared its throat.

Ronnie and Spencer slowly looked above them and into the face of their teacher.

"M-Ms. ... Barkin! What a... nice... surprise...," Ronnie stuttered.

"Mm-hm. Get in the room! The bell's already rung!"

Spencer started to say, "No, it ha--"

Bing! Biiiiing!! Biiiiiiiiing!!!

"Nevermind...," he said.

4. stuffed animal

"Well, Mom says we have to work our way up...," Jamie explained.

"And... you're starting with--"

"Yes, Spence. We're starting with dogs," Ronnie said.

Four 12-year-olds were walking 5 dogs of various sizes on the sidewalk under the outstretching trees located close to Lake Acworth (AN: actually... you're not supposed to have dogs on Acworth Beach -- Acworth Beach and Lake Acworth are the same place...)

Spencer had Charlie, a full-grown St. Bernard, on a leash.

Ronnie (on the right side of Spencer) kept a firm grip on Jacque (a two-year-old Jack Russell Terrier) and Dena (a 4-year-old Chihuahua).

Jamie (on the right side of Ronnie) held the leash of Bear, a 3-year-old black lab mix.

Taiji (beside Jamie) was walking Ally, a one-year-old Italian greyhound.

"You are gonna split the money with us, right?," Taiji asked with his slight Japanese accent.

"No, Tai," Jamie answered.

"We're gonna use you guys...," Ronnie said.

"...and keep all the money for ourselves," the twins said together.

"Right. Stupid question..."

A small black cat ran across the sidewalk in front of the quartet.

"That's never a good sign..."

"Why are you so superstitious, Spence?," Ronnie asked.

"I could be superstitious... or right!," Spencer exclaimed as a squirrel scampered onto the sidewalk and, having gotten his acorn, scurried away down the path.

"Oh, come on!," Taiji said. "Nothing haaAAAAHHHH!!!"

All five dogs ran towards the squirrel and onto the sand, dragging the tweens behind them.

When they lost sight of the rodent, they tried to stop, but had no traction on the dry sand.

The end result? Bear, Ally, Dena, Jacque, Charlie, Ronnie, Jamie, Taiji, and Spencer all in the water.

"We've always wanted a dog...," Ronnie started.

"...but this is too much!," Jamie ended.

"No live dogs for us!," Ronnie said, crossing her arms.

Jamie also crossed her arms.

"Only stuffed!," they shouted together.

3. Brihanna CD

Ronnie sat in the back seat of the Stoppable SUV. Jamie snored lightly next to her on the right. Temmy sat on the left seat of the middle section, listening to Britina's old hits on his mePod.

Ron was driving as Kim snoozed in the passenger seat.

They were on a trip to St. Louis, Missouri for the wedding of Larry Possible to Charlotte Hannigan.

It was 1:56 AM when Ronnie decided to stare blankly out the window.

Ronnie heard the first few notes of a song that came on the radio and immediately perked up.

"Is this what I think it is?!"

~Please just start the music!

"Yes!!"

"I'm gonna change the station, 'ka--"

"No!!"

Ron looked at Ronnie in the rear view mirror with a surprised look on his face.

"Uh... Sorry... I just... y'know... like this song..."

"Alright. I won't change it."

"Thanks."

As Ronnie rocked out to Please Just Start the Music by Brihanna, Ron thought, Well. I know what to get her for Christmas...

2. a compacted file of adventures

"They should really have a story or something about us..."

"What're you talking about, Ronnie?," Jamie asked her twin sister.

"I'm talking about all this stuff we do. All our adventures," Ronnie answered, putting her hair up in a ponytail.

"What 'adventures'?," Jamie asked as she looked through her closet, throwing unworthy clothes behind her.

"Our world-saving adventures! We should be known worldwide!"

Jamie turned around and began waving her arms around in no specific way. "Woah! Wait a sec! Whoo-hoo! Someone getting a little arrogant?"

"... No..."

"Riiiiight...," Jamie said, going back to digging through her bottomless pit of a closet.

"I'm just saying... We're great at what we do! We should be recognized like Callie and Temmy!"

"Okay. Five things, Ronnie." Jamie tossed a pink tank top over her head. "One?" A pair of jean capris flew across the room. "Callie and Temmy are older. We're 12!" Jamie threw a red sweater on the floor next to her. "Two?" She incoherently grumbled to herself as she found her Great-Nana's horrible-looking, sickly green-colored, spandex dress. "Ee-yuck... They travel all over the world! Three?" Jamie picked up a blue short-sleeved shirt and smiled. "They're older... Four?" She placed the shirt on the bed and plucked a khaki skirt from her overflowing pile of clothes (a.k.a. her closet), placing it on the bed next to the newly chosen top. "They're 17. Five?" Jamie took out a white zip-up hoodie. "Perfect," she whispered. "Oh. Right. Five?" Jamie turned to her sister. "We're... TWELVE!"

"O-kay! Okay. So maybe I was being a little arrogant..."

"A 'little'...?!"

"Alright! Alright. A lot!"

"Mm-hm."

Jamie changed into her newly picked clothes as Ronnie filled her backpack with her textbooks.

"Still want that holo-show of us...," Ronnie angrily muttered under her breath.

As Jamie brushed her hair down to get the frizzies out (and not being very successful, might I add...), she heard her twin mumble and rolled her eyes at the statement, a small smile on her face.

1. MMP

"And why can't I?!"

"I don't know! You think I do?!"

"You're my dad! You're s'posed to know everything!

"Well... Well I don't! I don't know everything, okay?!"

"Jamie has it! Why don't I?!"

"Didn't I just tell you that I don't know everything?!"

Ronnie Stoppable turned away from her father with a defiant look on her face and crossed her arms.

Ron Stoppable sighed, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

"Why does Jamie always get the cool stuff...?"

Ron sighed once again. Then... he got a wonderful idea. "Hey. Ronnie...?""

"What?," she snapped.

"Would you like to spar with me...?," he asked.

Her eyes lit up and she smiled hugely. Turning around, she shouted, "Of course!"

As his daughter sprinted to the family dojo, Ron followed after, chuckling softly. Shaking his head as he smiled, he said to himself, "Just like Kim... Works every time..."


Alright. Up next: Jamie, then...

IT'S THE FIIINAAAL CHAAAAPTEEERRRR!!!!!! (sung like 'its the final countdown')

They'll be up on Christmas. Have a nice day.

babbitrulez, out!
