I'd like to thank the following for leaving a review of this story since my last update here. Rider V3 Stoppable, Shinzochi, temporaryinsanity91, MrAndersIversen, CajunBear73, Sentinel103, Imyoshi and Beckman. They really mean a lot to me.

If it seems like it s been a while since I updated the story, you're right. I have no excuse for taking so long to update the story and I apologize to all of the people that have been reading it so faithfully. I had a plot bunny bite my big toe and started another story with a lot more drama in it than I usually use. "Cloudy, With a Chance." I will finish this story before continuing with that one first. I thought this would be the last full chapter but I've been wrong on that before. One more chapter after this one and it will concern the photograph given as a wedding present by Big Daddy Brotherson. Then I'll either tackle the Tara/Joss sitch or do another chapter of "Cloudy." Since I'm not sure which, I won't say at this time.

"I'd love to go back inside and let you get me warm again, as many times and for as long as you want."

After they kissed under their tree, they turned and headed back inside their home, arm in arm. Just before Ron opened the door for her to enter first, he said, "I think I want to make a quick phone call first. It will be quick, but I think I want a shot at your brothers too. It will just be my way of thanking them for their welcoming me into the family."

Outside the Possible family home, as James Timothy and Timothy James were walking up to the front door about forty minutes later:

"Oh man, I can't believe we ran off and left our car there. She is so going to have it towed, just to spite us." said Jim.

"If that's all she does to it, I'll be happy. I've never seen her that mad." said Tim.

"She wasn't that mad at us when we" started Jim.

"E-mailed a picture of her to everybody in Middleton when she was wearing all that zit cream?" finished Tim.

"Or when we trashed her room so we " started Jim again.

"could steal her kimunicator for the tri-lithium power cell?" finished Tim.

"Or stole her stereo," started Jim again.

"and her computer," continued Tim.

"and her bike helmet," added Jim.

"so we could create an ion shielded " added Tim on top of that.

"satellite guidance system?" finished Jim.

"Forced her to be our car monkey." added Tim trying to get in the last word.

"It sounds like we've done a lot of mean things to her in the past. Do you think maybe we've finally overdone it and pushed her to far this time?" not allowing Tim to have the last word since he was the oldest.

Both of them looked at the other and after a double heartbeat said, "Naaaaaa." in unison.

As they walked by the living room to go upstairs to the bedroom they were doubling up in, since the guest room was being used by their grandmother and Tim's room was being used by his uncle Slim, Jim said, "We'll go by tomorrow after dawn. I want to take a good look at it in the light before I'd even want to touch it."

"And I'll get some of my scanners to take with us to see if she trapped in some other way."

Then they heard their mother's voice call them from the living room. "Jim? Tim? Is that you boys?"

"Yeah mom. It's us. We were just headed up to bed. We've got some things to take care of early tomorrow morning."

"Well, come in the living room for a second please. I need to tell you something. There was a voice mail from the Genius twins."

Emma and Ima Genius were twin girls from England that Jim and Tim had met last year when they came to a conference concerning Lowardian technology. Proving to everybody that knew the twin boys that God really does have a sense of humor, the girls were England's version of the boys. They were both brilliant and deductive with an intuitive ability to decipher the alien technology and the principles behind it and their uses. They'd all read each other's papers devoted to separate topics in their studies and at their first live meeting, both girl commented on how they thought the boys would be younger than 18. When asked why, they replied that from the way their papers had been written, the girls thought it had been first graders doing the writing.

That was all it took for their warfare/friendship/courtship to begin. They had to make an emergency trip back to England because their father had an accident at work so they were unable to attend the wedding.

"The girls called?"

"Did they say when they would be back?" they alternately asked as they bounded into the darkened living room seeing their mother sitting on the couch with only one light on that was just enough to illuminate her.

"Yes they did and it was a very enlightening call." she answered with a gently smile on her face.

"But not nearly as enlighten as the call we just received from Ronald about your sister." said their father from a different part of the room just before the lights in the rest of the room came on showing all the Possibles that it was possible to be there. There was their father as well as their mother, their uncle Slim, their grandmother and even their Aunt June. From the looks on their faces and the tone of their father's voice, none of them were happy campers.

"Would you two mind explaining what in blue blazes you thought you were doing, rigging up your sister's bedroom like that and planting a bunch of stupid pranks? On their wedding night no less!" demanded their father.

"Gee dad. It was just a joke. You know. Kinda like for a shivaree." started Jim.

"Yeah, a shivaree. Like Nana told us about the last night." added Tim hoping to deflect any blame elsewhere.

"I told you about that trying to explain to you how horrible it was for the young couple. Why the things that were done to your grandfather and me on our wedding night were...well, they were terrible. But I did get back at all of those people that were a part of it later." said Nana Possible.

"How did you do that Nana?"

She smiled a smile that almost sent chills down their spines as she said, "Let's just say that I'm still alive after all of the others died and leave it at that. Some people in this room might want to have a chance to sleep tonight without having any nightmares."

"Let's stay in the present and not try to blame your actions on someone else or another time, shall we?" said James. He then looked to his brother and asked, "What do you think Slim?"

"Wall I think you dropped the ball here Squirt. These boys definitely needed more trips out ta the wood shed than what you gave em whall they twere a growing up."

"Hey guys. It was just a joke on the two of them." upheld Jim.

"Yeah. It was totally harmless." Tim added trying to support his brother's statement.

"Harmless?" asked their mother. "Harmless you say? After Kim went back inside she had to shower to get the grass and dirt off her feet. Also to cool off because of a Joke. Someone put some strawberry Kool-Aid in the shower head to make it look like blood."

"No. That was a special compound." explained Jim.

"It starts to congeal a little as soon as it hits the air. It gives it the consistency of blood." Tim said as he explained their improvement on the old Kool Aid joke.

"We had some left over from the last Halloween's "Scare for Care, Haunted House" at the hospital."

The look they got from all of the other Possibles in the room told the twins that they had better shut up while they were only behind as far as they were.

"You neglected to mention that it is also much slipperier when it's in that form, especially in a new bathtub. Something that Kim found out the hard way." said Aunt June as she broke the silence.

"Wuda you mean?" the twins slowly asked in unison.

"Ronald called us from the ER at the hospital. It seems that after your sister chased you two away after your little "joke," she thought she'd better take a shower to clean up and cool off after getting so mad." started her father.

"She adjusted the water temperature at the spout, got in and then switched it over to shower." continued her mother with the volume of her voice getting louder with each word. "When she got hit in the face with that mess she backed away but slipped on it and hit her head on the tub. Ron called as they were taking her to the hospital."

"Why are we standing here then?" almost demanded Jim.

"We should be on our way to the hospital!" added Tim.

"His parents are on their way there now but we have three reasons why we aren't on our way now." said Nana.

"One." said their father. "We won't be able to do anything till after the Doctors see her."

"Two." continued their Uncle Slim, "We had to wait here for you two ta get home, so we could tell you face ta face. We didn t want any misunderstandings on your part as ta how serious things are."

"Three." said Aunt June, "Do you really think Ron would want to see or talk to you two so soon, considering that you are mostly responsible for putting his wife in the hospital?"

"And what about Kim?" asked Ann. "How excited do you think she'll be to hear you whine about it just being a joke when she regains consciousness? That is, if she regains consciousness. Head traumas can be so unpredictable." she was able to finish saying before she started crying into a tissue she had.

The two young male twins were now almost in tears with worry and concern over Kim. This wasn't what they had intended so far as their sister. This was way beyond the jokes, pranks and annoying sibling barbs they had launched at her in the past. This was real.

Just then, their mother's cell phone chirped.

She answered it after seeing the caller's ID with, "How's Kim?" After she listened a few seconds, she said to her husband, "Ron says to hit the "K" button on the TV remote. That will change the TV into a big screen Kimunicator." (An upgrade that Wade had installed after upgrading the computer system for Ron and Kim's new home.)

James quickly got the remote and after pressing the requested button, the TV lit up with Ron's face in the center of the screen. In the background was the ER section of the hospital. His face looked worried beyond belief.

"They took her in as soon as we got here. I heard the Doctor say something about her pupils being sluggish, but I can't be sure. I was busy trying to talk to her, to calm her, probably more me than her since I have no idea if she could even hear me. Are you guys coming soon? Mom and Dad were just pulling into the parking lot just before I called you."

"We'll be on our way in just a few minutes now that the twins finally got home." said James.

They could see Ron looking around the room till he picked out the two brothers. It was then that his face filled with emotion as he asked them, "Why?"

"Why did you have to pull an added stunt like this on our wedding night? I thought you were over this kind of behavior. That you had outgrown it." His eyes started to tear up as he finished by saying, "I never thought your would have tried to put her in the hospital."

"Ron, it was just a joke." pleaded Jim as he moved to stand in front of the TV.

"We never meant for it to end up like this!" added Tim as he stepped up to his brother's side.

"We swear that we will never do anything like this again. Ever." said Jim as Tim agreed with him..

"All we want is for Kim to be alright." added Tim.

"Oh please." said Ron with sarcasm dripping from his words. "You've both said that before and it would last for, what, a week at best before it was back to normal? Back to blackmailing her into running your little errands for you or getting more access to classified information about the Lowardians for you because you caught us together with your little spy cams. I thought asking you two to usher at the wedding was suppose to be the end of it, a piece offering to bury the hatchet. I see that I was wrong. Hopefully not "dead" wrong."

"Don't use that word. She'll be alright." said Jim.

"It's Kim we're talking about. She has to be." added Tim.

"If we ever play a mean joke on her again, we swear we will become Amish and give up computers, cars, cell phones, TV, zippers and everything else." stated Jim with a firm and steadfast resolution.

"Yeah. We'll till the land behind a horse and only eat what we grow. Just so long as Kim turns out alright, that's all we want. We swear it." added Tim as they both nodded their agreement.

Ron looked at them straight in the eyes till his expression softened as he saw that they were being sincere. He looked off to his side and said, "Wait a minute. I think someone's coming to tell me how she is doing."

A doctor came up to him wearing surgical scrubs and a mask and as the doctor bent their head over to untie the mask, they could all her a voice say. "I'm sorry Mr. Stoppable, but there was nothing I could do."

As the tears started to fall from the twin's eyes, the doctor continued saying, "You are going to be stuck with her for the rest of your life." She then let the mask fall down on her chest as she pulled off her hat to reveal her short read head hair. Revealing that it was Kim, she looked into the screen at the twins and said in a very taunting voice, "Suckers!"

"Kim?" said the tweebs. "We thought you were dying from a head injury."

"I got better." she casually replied as she scratched her head and moved closer to her now smirking husband.

Ron reached over and flicked an unseen switch off to the side and the ER background faded away to show the walls of their basement. (Another upgrade that Wade had installed in their computer system was the ability to create any background for a video message.)

"Yeah." said Ron. "This is our way of thanking you guys for your "welcoming" me into the family.

"You tricked us?" asked the twins with disbelief.

"Well Duh!" said Kim and Ron together as they mimicked Jim and Tim.

"First thing we did when we got back into the house was check the bathroom and bedroom for any other boobie traps, you know, like Kool Aid in the shower head, plastic wrap over the toilet, short sheeting the bed or missing screws on the door knobs. I thought better of you two. That stuff was old when my parents were in college. But the most important thing was the oath you two just swore in front of your entire family to put an end to all of the practical jokes you've played on Kim and me." Looking around, Jim and Tim saw the rest of their family looking at them with knowing grins on their faces as the boys realized that their entire family was in on it.

Ron continued saying, "No more thinking your sister's stuff or our stuff is yours without asking first, no more doing favors with hidden clauses and no more sticking people in a containment field. If you really have to, you can do the mean tricks and jokes on me, but you have to layoff that kind of stuff with your sister. And just so you know you two, now that you are dating the Genius girls, remember that Kim and I have access to all of the family photos and movies. You wouldn't want them to suddenly finds a link to a movie posted on the net entitled "The Tweebs Big Day" now would you? I know how embarrassing that could be, and remember that there were several pictures and movies taken of you two during your bath times too. One I remember seeing when each of you two wanted to pull on your brother's..."

"Okay!" said the twins trying to cut off what Ron was going to say to try and save themselves any further embarrassment.

It was over and they both knew it. They might be able to come up with better jokes or pranks, but without achieving the embarrassment factor, they would just be lame. How could you embarrass a man that'd lost his pants so many times in front of so many different people that he didn't care anymore. "Ron's Big Day" had gone viral on Metube and he would just laugh because it didn't bother him anymore. What would be the point?

No. This had been the last shot fired in the battle and their sister and new brother had fired it. The twins had lost. Long live the King and Queen.

Ron and Kim saw that the twins had been defeated, but that wasn't what they really wanted. They wanted a truce, not a victory.
"You know." said Ron after he looked at Kim to get her silent agreement. "You two might want to get yourselves packed and make sure that Emma and Ima are up for a trip to Japan this weekend."

Puzzled now, Jim started, "We thought that only Mom, Dad and your parents were invited there for that ceremony.

"Yeah." added Tim. "Only your very immediate family."

Ron just gave one of his special smiles as he said, "I'll tell Sensei tomorrow and have them water down the soup a little and make room. It's one of the very few prerogatives of being the Chosen One." When he still saw disbelief on their faces, he added, "You guys still don't understand, do you?"

"All of you are a part of my very immediate family now."
