Chapter 6: Ron's Biggest Challenge
As Wednesday approached Ron got more and more nervous. He had been scared plenty of times in his life but never quite as bad as he was now. He knew that this was something he had to do.
Kim could tell something was worrying Ron but he would not tell her. Ron was a horrible liar and Kim knew this. Ron tried everything he could think of to make Kim not worry about him but the truth be known he liked it when she worried about him, it showed to him that she truly loved and cared about him.
Kim knew she had to find out about Andrea's past to see why she looked like her and had the same last name. She also wondered about why her mom had dropped the phone during their last call. She planned to call her mom as soon as they returned from vacation. It was time in her mind to get answers. But first she decided to find out as much as she could about Andrea from Andrea.
Kim: Andrea, we need to talk.
Andrea: sure, what do you want to talk about?
Kim: I want to know about your past.
Andrea: ok, what exactly do you want to know?
Kim: I don't know. Maybe let's start with your family.
Andrea: I didn't really know my family. I was an orphan at the age of 4. No one would adopt me either.
Kim: oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up these terrible feelings.
Andrea: don't worry it's about time I opened up to someone. Do you have anything else you want to know?
Kim: Where are you from?
Andrea: the orphanage I grew up in was in Carten, New Jersey. As for my birthplace I don't know for should but I was told somewhere on the western half of the USA.
Kim: what do you think about how we look almost exactly alike and everything?
Andrea: that is very strange. I feel a connection to you like were sisters or something. I hope you don't mind but when is your birthday?
Kim: of course I don't mind. I was born on August 17, 1988. I'm willing to answer anything you have to ask too.
Andrea: perhaps we're twin's that's my birth date too. How much do you love you guy? I think you said his name is Ron.
Kim: the evidence sure points to that. We have so many similarities between us. I love Ron with all that is me. I would do anything for him include die for him. He's my sun, moon, and stars.
Andrea: wow! Now that's love. I don't know what it is but when I look at James I feel like I'm floating in the air and I'm looking at my future.
Kim: how did you two meet anyways?
Andrea: well, after you two left to save Professor Tucker, I went to the food court to try and eat something. I was so scared and upset that I started crying in the food court until I felt and arm wrap around and a sweet voice saying what's wrong and what can I do to make it better? Then I looked at him and suddenly I felt like everything was going to be ok. We started to talk and the next thing I know he asked me out and I said yes.
Kim: that's interesting. I wish it had been like that with me and Ron. Unfortunately I chased after every pretty face that came my way while my best friend stood by me when I needed him. Then came the worst and yet happiest day of my life. I was dating a guy named Eric and it was prom night. Dr. Drakken attacked the world with his little Diablos and I went to stop him. After knocking out Shego, Eric came out I ran to hug him but then her revealed he was a synthodrone and he shocked me until I was unconscious. When I awoke I felt horrible and was in a lot of self pity. But Ron reminded me that I never give up and then he said the most wonderful words to me he has every said other then I love you. He told me that there was someone out there for me that was real and would be there for me, then I said really and he replied out there, in here. That was the moment I realize I had always loved Ron, I just never took the time to realize it before.
Andrea: (crying) that is such as beautiful yet sad story. I'm so happy for you.
Kim: thank you I've never been this happy in my life. Here a tissues.
Andrea takes the tissues and blows her nose after the drying her eyes.
Andrea: good night Kim, hopefully our double date will go great. See you in the morning.
Kim: good night Andrea. I hope so too. And with that she turned off the lights and went to bed with her favorite teddy bear which Ron had won for her at the county fair the year before.
Wednesday rolled around and Ron was a nervous wreck by this time. As the minutes ticked away on his watch he began to feel sicker and sicker. Ron knew what was causing it and what it would take to get rid of it. When he got off of work at 6 he had to call Dr. Mr. Possible. This would be the most important call of his life. He kept telling him self that he could do this just tell Mr. Possible what he had on his mind and hope for the best. Six o'clock came around and with a gulp he picked up the phone and dialed. He heard 3 rings and then a male voice answered.
Mr. Possible: Hello?
Ron: hi, Mr. Possible its Ron. I need to talk with you.
Mr. Possible: what do you need Ron?
Ron: I have something I have to ask you. It's the most important question I have ever to ask someone before.
Mr. Possible: what is it Ronald?
Ron: may I have permission to marry Kim please?
Mr. Possible: I honestly surprised that it took you this long to ask. Of course you can Ronald you always were the one I knew would treat Kim the way she need to be.
Ron: thank you so much Mr. Possible. Now all I have to do is drum up the courage to ask her. Talk to you after I asked her. Bye!
Mr. Possible: your welcome Ronald, I'm sure you'll do just fine. Bye Ronald.
The big night came and Ron Stoppable had run through his mind hundred's of time how he was going to ask Kim. It was time for his date with Kim and James and Andrea would be on a date with them. They were all going to the movies and then to dinner. He planned to ask James and Andrea to give them some time alone where he would pop the question. He just didn't know how he was going to ask her. He was more scared now then when he was about asking Mr. Possible for permission to marry Kim.
James and Ron had chipped in to rent a limo for them to take the girls out. The limo was long and black. The girls were very impressed but said that the guys really didn't have to go to all the trouble for them. They all went to see the movie Love is in the Air and after the movie was over they went to an enchanting beautiful restaurant by the river name "The Seahorse Café" the four of them were seated at a table outside in the back of the café. It overlooked the beautiful river that ran behind it. A young lady dressed in a black shirt and blue-jeans walked over and introduced herself to the couples.
Jillian: hello I am Jillian Tomaz and I will be your waitress for the evening. In a moment I will bring you some menus but for now what would you like to drink.
Ron: I'll have some lemonade.
Kim: I'll have some lemonade too.
James: I'll take some fruit punch.
Andrea: and I'll have a glass of water.
Jillian took down their orders and left them.
Meanwhile Ron's mind was racing. He was trying to find the perfect timing to ask her. Then he had an idea.
Ron: hey James why don't you take Andrea down to river for a few minutes.
James (talking to Andrea): what do you think?
Andrea: sure.
They got up and left when they got to the river they realized why he wanted to be alone with Kim.
Both: he wants to ask her to marry him.
Andrea: jinx you owe me a soda.
James: will you accept a kiss?
Andrea: yes
While they were kissing Ron gulped and Ron got on one knee and Kim looked at him wondering what he was doing a smile appeared as he began to speak.
Ron: Kim you know you are my whole world. I'd do anything for you.
Kim: yeah and I would for you.
Ron: I know Kim; (pulling out the ring box) will you marry me.
Kim: of course I will. I love you with all that is me.
Ron: booyah! (Slips the ring on her finger)
Kim: is that why you've been acting funny all week because you wanted to surprise me?
Ron: you got me there. Yes.
Ron leaned over and kissed Kim in a way that she had only experienced one other time in her life. That was their prom which was their first date. For a moment the whole world seemed to disappear and it was just Kim and Ron there. Forever would their lives be different from that moment on.
