Car Alarm Surprise

AN: Ever wonder what might have happened if Ron hadn't lost his courage in the episode "Car Alarm?" Well, wonder no more.

Chapter 1: Possible Surprise

(In the Roth SL Coupe aka The Sloth)

Tim and Jim say at the same time as they give a thumbs up, "Brilliant!"

Wade smiles as he says, "Thanks, I appreciate the peer review positive feedback."

Kim clears her throat as she frowns in her annoyance. She could handle Wade giving her the 'insider geek info' but to have her younger and very annoying brothers seem to actually know what Wade was talking about.

She says, "Sorry to interrupt this geekfest, but how do I do this?" She wasn't really sorry as she was on a mission.

Wade knew Kim well enough to know that she wanted to get the mission over with and her brothers out of her car. He almost flatly says, "There is a panel on the outside of the Kepler. All you need to do is open it to get to the cutoff line." He shows pictures of where the panel and cutoff line are for the Kepler.

Kim says nervously, "So all I have to do is hope onto a speeding rocket?"

Wade smiles confidently as he says, "Pretty much."

Kim puts the car on cruise control before she rolls down her driver's side window and says as she begins to unbuckle her seatbelt, "Ron! Take the wheel!"

Ron cries out, "Aghhh!" before he leans over to do just that.

Wade says, "Wait! Before you go!" Wade remotely activates the panel for his latest gadget, a pair of gold magno-rings.

Rufus takes one look and knew what humans did with two gold rings, and to be honest, he hoped that they would one day. He hums loudly the wedding march, which causes both Kim and Ron's heads to whip towards each other.

Ron thinks, "Oh man! Kim thinks that… Well… I do love her… but do I enough to…? Oh why not…" He says, "I love you Kim!" instead of the words he'd planned on saying, "This was not my idea… but I do want to marry you!"

The silence that fills the car was thick as a phone book with all eyes on Kim and her response.

Kim thinks in hyper-mode, "OhMyGosh! Ron just told me he loved me! With rings present! Is he proposing? If he is, do I accept? Do I want to be Mrs. Kim Stoppable? Oh No! The Tweebs and Wade heard too! Oooooh! All these eyes are on me and they're waiting to see what I'll say! What do I say? What should I say? What will my parents think? What will dad think? He's looking at me for an answer, what should I say?"

Ron can see the uncertainty in Kim's eyes and thinks, "Maybe she's not sure what I'm saying?" He then says, "Kim… will you… marry me?" He thinks, "There! I've said it! Now Kim will just say her answer and everyone will have a good laugh at my expense."

Kim feels all her doubt, all her fears wash away when she looks into Ron's brown eyes as he says it and knew that he was being completely sincere. She doesn't even have to think about it as she says, "Yes Ron…"

Ron thinks, "There, she said no and now we can…" before his brain catches up to his ears and he shouts, "WHAT?"

Kim smiles tenderly and big at him as she repeats herself in a more louder and confident voice, "Yes Ron… I will marry you."

The two in the backseat cheer and give each other a high five, "Alright! About time!"

Kim blushes red as her hair before she casts a silencing glance at her twin brothers.

Wade says, "Um… guys, they aren't wedding rings. They're magno-rings. They'll help Kim hang onto the side of the Kepler." He can't hold back any longer and shouts, "Are you two really going to get married?"

Kim smiles and nods as she picks up the two rings before she says, "We'll talk about our engagement when I get back Ron."

Ron just nods before Kim slips out of the car and jumps onto the Kepler.

Jim says, "All right Ron!" Tim says, "Way to go!"

Wade says, "Ron? Ron? Are you ok? Answer me!"

Ron just stares forward even as Kim continues to climb forward on the Kepler. The Kepler begins to reach its threshold speed, causing a field to grow around the car that began to grab at everything.

The Kepler's field grabs Bonnie's car, which was stopped legally at a stop sign and tears it apart until there is nothing left but a screaming Bonnie still strapped into her seatbelt.

Kim barely notices at a time when she would have been pleased as an even stronger joy coursed through her mind. The fact that she was now engaged to her life-long best friend, partner in saving the world, and boyfriend. She corrects herself and bumps the boyfriend title up to fiancée. She wonders for just a moment what Monique is going to say when she tells her before making a note to turn down the speakers.

The Kepler roars past the JP Bearymore Pizza Place and has the same effect on the building as it did on Bonnie's car with both Rufus and the tweebs crying out "NOOOOOOO!" in anguish.

Ron barely even notices their anguished cries as only one thought was going through his locked up brain, "I'm going to marry KP!" over and over.

Ron is like that until Jim and Tim start snapping their fingers in front of his face while calling his name. He says, "Huh? What? What'd I miss?"

Jim says, "Ron, we've been calling your name…" Tim says, "For a while now."

Ron says, "I'm not dreaming right? Please tell me this isn't a dream."

Jim says, "This isn't a dream Ron." Tim says, "You're really engaged to our sister."

Ron gets a very goofy look on his face as he sighs happily, "I'm going to marry Kim…"

Jim looks over at his brother and says, "He's got it bad…" with Tim nodding as he agrees.

Just then the car begins to power down and they shout, "Ron! The car's powering down! Kim did it!"

Ron hears, "Kim did it!" and notices the rocket car is slowing down so he pulls up to the side as it crawls to a stop.

Ron shouts out the open driver's side window, "Way to go KP!"

Kim leaps over the hood of the car (Think Dukes of Hazards style) and with a big smile on her face she grabs Ron, pulling him into a big, passionate kiss that makes her brothers both silently go "Yeeech!" with their tongues hanging out.

Kim pulls back from the kiss and slips one of the gold rings off her fingers, and slips it onto the right finger that Ron would need to wear it on to show the world their new status.

(Meanwhile)

After they've crawled out of the river Motor Ed says, "You've got to admit Red's got some rad road skills." He turns as he hears Shego blow her nose and says, "You've got to do something with your look babe."

Shego ignites her right hand and shouts, "Shut up!" before she fires a blast from the hand, which makes Motor Ed jump up high in order to avoid the blast.

(Later)

Kim walks into her home, arm wrapped around Ron's and the gold magno-rings still on their fingers.

The twins rush into their home and look around to see who's home. They find their parents in the kitchen and shout at the same time, "They're in here!"

Jim grins at his twin and says, "This is going to be good!" Tim says, "What you want to bet that dad loses his cool?" Jim says, "That's too easy. Make it really hard." Tim thinks for a moment before he says, "Ok… How about predicting when he will make the black hole speech?" Jim grins and says, "Within a minute." Tim says, "I call three minutes."

Anne, otherwise known Mrs. Dr. Possible to the rest of the world and mother of her three children could tell that there was big news that they most likely weren't going to like from what she overheard of their conversation.

Anne walks up and says, "What's going on boys? What'd you two do now?"

Jim snickers and grins widely before he says, "For once mom…" Tim finishes by saying, "We didn't have anything to do with this."

Anne frowns as did not like the grins on their faces and says, "Ok, spill boys. What do you know."

Jim says, "Sorry Mom. This one has got to be seen…" Tim says, "To really be believed. This time it is Kim who has the big surprise."

Anne's frown deepens as she liked the way this was sounding less and less.

James, known to others as Mr. Dr. Possible and father of the Possible family folds his paper in half and says, "Quit teasing your mother. What do you have on your sister?"

Just then Kim's voice from just beyond the doorway says, "I can answer that dad."

All heads turn, with Jim and Tim grinning big and glancing at the clock for that exact moment when one of them would lose the bet.

Kim walks in with Ron still tucked in arm and her hand entwined with his. She has a big, rosy smile on her face.

Anne takes one look and gasps loudly as she recognized that look! She'd seen it on her sister when she got engaged and on her own face as well when she was first engaged to James! Her hand starts to tremble as she brings it up to her face as her eyes spot the gold rings on their hands moments before Kim raises her hand up and uses her thumb to point out the gold ring on her finger as she proudly declares, "I'm engaged!"

The newspaper falls out of Jame's hands to settle noisily upon the floor as he looks at the two standing at the doorway to the kitchen.

Utter silence filled the kitchen for the longest time before James stands up slowly from the table, starts to walk towards the two even as Jim whispers, "Get ready… here it comes…" to Tim who just nods.

James stands before them and looks at the two of them hard. Kim happily humming before she grabs Ron's ring hand and says, "We have matching rings! Isn't this just so totally cool daddy?"

Ron just looks embarrassed but he too has a smile on his face that becomes nervous under the stony expression of James.

James raises a hand and Ron flinches as a part of his mind imagines being tossed into a rocket and launched into deep space, never to see Kim again. He says, "Welcome to the family Ronald! Or should I call you son?" He pats Ron on the shoulder in a friendly way with his stony face becoming a huge smile of his own.

Kim squeals loudly in delight and hugs Ron tightly to her as she says, "See? I told you everything would be all right Ron! Dad's not going to launch you into space!"

Anne walks up and says, "Everything not all right Kimberly! What about college? What about jobs? Have you thought about any of that?"

The shock on everyone's faces was clear as day as Anne was the last person anyone would have thought to object to the wedding.

Kim says, "What? Are you saying I shouldn't marry Ron?"

Anne shakes her head as she says, "That's not what I was saying. I'm just saying you're simply not ready for all the responsibilities that come with being married Kim. You haven't even lived with each other yet!"

Kim frowns and says, "Ron's got that Bueno Nacho check that comes in and we can buy a big house with that! And in case you've forgotten I do have a job at Club Banana! It isn't like we're going to marry tomorrow; we were going to wait until after graduation from high school. That way we can live together at college!"

Anne says, "But honey… it takes a lot of money to be a couple and what if you have kids? There's so much you'll miss once you start having kids."

Jim says, "What's she talking about?" Tim says, "Beats me."

James says, "Honey, we've known for a while that Ron is the one. Didn't we decide that if this day should come that we'd be happy for them?"

Anne throws her hands up into the air as says, "Yes, but I always thought that they'd at least wait until after college!"

Ron weakly says, "I don't want to cause any problems KP…" as he can sense a monumental clash of Possible women approaching and like any powerful thunderstorm, it is best not to get caught in the middle of it. He even tries to pull back away from Kim only to get pulled closer to her in return.

Kim says, "I'll marry Ron when I want! I love him! I want to spend the rest of my life with him and what does it matter when I marry? The two of you weren't much older when you got married!"

Anne frowns darkly as she says, "At least we got married after college! What if something happens and the two of you become unhappy enough to divorce because of the stress of college life and maintaining a marriage? Do you really want that?"

Kim tugs at Ron as says, "So not going to happen! I am Kim Possible! I can do college and marriage life! You two have big and leading lives and children! Plus even if I do have children, after dealing with the tweebs I can handle anything!"

Jim and Tim say angrily in stereo, "Hey! We heard that!"

Anne turns to Ron and says, "Ron, please reconsider… I'm not asking you to break up, just put off the wedding until after you graduate from college. Then see where you two are and if you want to marry I won't say a word."

Kim shouts, "Leave my fiancée out of this! Ron! You don't have to listen to her!" She can see that Ron didn't want to upset either of her parents and for a moment she softens before Anne says, "Kim, I'm only trying to do what I think is best for you."

If there was one thing Kim hated more than anything was being talked down to as if she was some ignorant girl. While she may not have been as smart as Wade, she was pretty smart in both street and book knowledge.

Kim turns and angrily says, "Come on Ron. Let's go tell your parents. Maybe they will be more understanding and happy for us." Together Kim and Ron walk out of the front door and with a loud "SLAM!" signaling that they were gone.

James says, "Well… that could have gone better."

Anne says, "James Timothy Possible! Don't tell me that you're actually ok with them getting married at such a young age!"

James scratches the back of his neck as he says, "Actually…"

Anne turns in disgust, "Oh men! You never think things through!"

James walks up to her and places his hands upon her shoulders before he says softly, "If I thought about things too much, I probably would never have worked up the nerve to propose to you. After all, you were the hottest girl in college and I was just a science nerd trying to win your heart."

James can feel her relaxing under his hands before she turns with tears in her eyes, "I did it didn't I? I acted just like my mother when she found out about us before college graduation."

James slowly sighs and says, "She came around, and so will you. Just have faith in our daughter. She's always done the right thing before because we believed in her, right?"

Anne looks down as she sighs with tears still flowing, "You're right, the possible women have always done the right thing…" She adds in her thoughts, "Unless we're angry…"

James wraps his arms around her in a comforting hug and says, "Come on, let's go over to Ron's house and show our support. We can apologize for losing our cool and maybe she can forgive us."

Anne nods as she silently thinks, "Oh, I hope this doesn't drive you to do something rash that you'll regret Kimmie…"

---

AN: Well, after seeing how my first story titled "Clean Slate 2" was received, I decided to try something a little more along the same lines but more original since the biggest complaint was the lack of new, original material in it. Now for the questions. What did you think of the beginning? It should have been exactly what was said in the show. I took some liberties in what was thought of course but I doubt anyone will mind. If you are one of them, let me know. What did you think of that moment when the rings popped out and Ron actually proposed to Kim! What did you think of the moments that had originally been happy/sad moments for Kim and Ron in the show were barely noticed? What did you think of Ron's zombie moment? What did you think of the reaction from the parents when they learned of Kim and Ron's engagement? Were you surprised by the reactions? Did you like how I mentioned the reaction of Anne's mother? (I think Nana is Mr. P's mother, so who knows what Mrs. P's mother is like or her name?) What do you think about Kim's reaction? Can you imagine her like that? Can the parents make it up to Kim? What do you think will happen at the Stoppable house when Kim and Ron announce their engagement there Will Kim make any rash decisions? If you want to see a second chapter, just let me know.

As usual for me, all reviews, thoughts, ideas, suggestions, drawings, votes in the fannie awards (I only have the "Kim and the Ghostbusters" one if anyone wants to vote for me) and of course the secrets to a making a mac/pc external hard drive are always welcome!
