Chapter 10 of the 16th KP Fannies - Prelude
Chapter 10 – How It Began, Part III
On the morning of March 11, 2021, Kim and Ron Possible-Stoppable were sleeping peacefully in their bed. The alarm went off promptly at 7:00am and Kim woke up and waited nearly thirty seconds before pressing the snooze button as she watched her husband sleep.
"You really can sleep through anything, can't you?" Kim mused. "Ron?"
There was no response.
Kim nudged his shoulder repeatedly. "Ron, wake up!"
Ron gasped as he jerked awake and fell out of the bed before getting up on his feet.
"KPS, I was dreaming of running through a field of nacos!" Ron groaned. "Why did you have to ruin it?"
Kim crossed her arms. "Because I need you to cook breakfast so we can get ready for Justin's birthday at JP Bearymore's this afternoon. Now, I'm gonna go shower and get dressed. Can you have breakfast ready by then?"
Ron nodded as he stretched and yawned. "Okay, KPS."
"Oh, and since Monique also has the day off, we're gonna go shopping together at Middleton Mall after the party," Kim added.
"I'm still surprised that the mall has stayed open with so many of the outlets closed, since most people shop online now. Especially in the last few months."
With that, Ron donned his robe and walked out of the bedroom to cook breakfast while Kim made her way to the shower, considering her husband's comment about the mall.
Later that day, the Possible-Stoppable family arrived at the parking lot of J.P. Bearymore's Pizza Party-torium. The family were all smiles and laughter as they approached the restaurant, but that ceased when Ron pulled on the door handle and the door didn't budge.
"It's locked," Ron said. The family's eyes fell in unison upon the large 'CLOSED' sign.
"That's weird," Kim commented.
Ron pulled out his cellphone. "I'll call Urso Bearymore Jr. and hear what he has to say."
"You have his number?" Kim asked in disbelief.
"I do," Ron said as he dialed some numbers. "Ever since this became Justin and Alexa's favorite place to eat!"
"Hey, Ron, how's my number one customer?" the voice on the other end of the phone asked.
"Mr. Bearymore?" Ron asked. "My son's birthday is today and my wife and I were planning on having it at the Pizza Party-torium. But it's closed when the hours say it should be open."
Bearymore sighed. "The Colorado state government ordered all non-essential businesses to close down as a result of the TEVID Pandemic. As well as word from Washington!"
"What?" Ron asked.
"How do you not know? Some idiot allowed some virus to escape from a lab and it spread across the globe," Bearymore replied. "Governments worldwide have ordered non-essential businesses to close down. The essential businesses are required to have people wear masks and all people must stay six feet apart from each other, no matter the circumstance. Ron…you work for Global Justice, how do I know more about this than you?"
Ron sighed. "Never-mind, I understand. Okay. Bye."
Just as Ron hung up his cellphone, Justin tugged his pants. "Daddy, is everything okay?"
Ron looked down at Justin. "Oh yeah, everything's fine, sport!"
"That can't be good," Alexa commented, shaking her head.
Ron turned to Alexa. "What makes you say that?"
Kim spoke up. "Ron, we can tell something's wrong. So, spill."
Ron hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Okay, that silly virus that everyone is blowing out of proportion has spread worldwide and governments have shut down all businesses that are considered nonessential. Not to mention that we have to wear masks and stay six feet away from people."
"Ah!" Justin gasped as he jumped a short distance from Ron.
Kim turned to Justin. "Justin, you don't have to stay clear of your family."
Justin sighed as he walked back up to Ron. "Sorry, Daddy."
"It's okay," Ron assured.
"Not really," Justin said in a neutral tone. He sniffled as his eyes grew moist. "Now, my birthday's ruined!"
Kim leaned down to hug her son. "Justin, it's not the end of the world."
"Yeah," Ron agreed. "We can still celebrate your birthday at home."
The child was the opposite of encouraged. He took a deep breath.
"Oh no," Kim said.
Justin then let out an earth-shattering scream, louder than his tiny lungs would seem to allow. Kim, Ron, and Alexa covered their ears, as a small crack appeared in the window front of the pizza place.
"Ron, you know that Justin does not like celebrating birthdays at our place!" Kim said with a groan. "Did you forget the fourth birthday party incident?!"
"The one with the presents on fire?! Yes, I remember it!" Ron replied with his voice raised over the scream, still covering his ears.
Kim rubbed their son's back, and it wasn't too long before Justin finished his impossibly loud wailing. Ron looked at the cracked windows of J.P. Bearymore's.
"I hope insurance will cover the damages," Ron said, pointing to the crack. When the family walked back to the old Possible minivan (a gift from Kim's parents) they noticed telltale signs of cracks in those windows as well.
"Wait a minute!" Kim gasped, her subconscious catching up with what Ron had reported. "My mall date with Monique!"
Kim got her smart phone from her purse and called her friend.
Monique Hall, who had pursued the fashion industry, worked as the head of all of Club Banana's online retail and was on the board of directors. She had married Jamarcus Hall, the former star wide receiver of the MHS championship football team back in 2006 and who rose to district attorney for Jefferson County. The wealthy, but down to earth socialite, answered the phone on the first ring.
"Hey, girl! Did you get the bad news?" Monique exclaimed.
"Wait...please don't tell me..." Kim gasped on the other end.
"Sorry, Kim! Mall date has been shot down," Monique announced. "Colorado governor said that all malls across the state must close down to stop the spread of TEVID-20!"
Kim gasped. On the first day in ages they were both free, this had to come up.
"Okay, Monique," Kim said with a nod. "I've got a feeling I've…gotta go... Bye."
"Bye," Monique said before hanging up.
Kim thought to herself that the gold hoop earrings, gold chain around her neck, and wristwatch that she'd dressed up her overalls with (one strap down, of course) for the shopping date were a bit pointless now.
Ron cleared his throat. "So…I think we should just go to Smarty Mart and try to pick up some birthday supplies?"
"Yeah," Kim agreed, her mind falling to her work and wondering why Global Justice hadn't been ahead of informing them on the goings on in the world. "At least something is better than nothing."
The family headed back to the van, and for the first time noticed the sparsity of cars in the parking lot.
"Worst birthday ever," Justin groaned as he and the family climbed into the van and drove off.
The Smarty Mart parking lot, in contrast, was packed with cars and people were pushing heavily laden carts out of the store in seemingly greater numbers than Black Friday sales and Christmastime.
It only took a few minutes inside the big box store to see that the biggest of the crowd was in the paper goods aisle.
"Okay, why are people suddenly in a rush to buy toilet paper?" Kim asked.
"Maybe they all want to T.P. Barkin's house?" Ron said jokingly.
Kim glared at her husband
"What?" Ron asked, with a mischievous grin. "I'd do it."
The family paused and peered down the aisle with shockingly empty shelves, noting the carts piled high with toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues, and Kim cringed when she thought she saw two people fighting over one of the giant bulk packages.
"Seriously, what is the sitch?" Kim asked aloud.
"The virus is the sitch, Possible!" Came a familiar male voice.
The family turned to see none other than Mr. Barkin with an exhausted look on his face and his clothes heavily rumpled.
"Mr. B.?" Ron gasped.
"What happened to you?" Kim asked.
"I was mugged while trying to restock the toilet paper! As you can see, it's our most popular item lately…" Barkin groaned.
"Why are customers obsessed with buying toilet paper?" Ron asked.
"I think it's safe to say they won't be using it to T.P. my house!" Barkin said, giving Ron a knowing look. "I gotta get back to the stock room…and hide," he said, the latter under his breath.
Their former teacher stalked away grumpily, and the two parents looked at each other in shock.
"So what he's saying is that we're going to have to resort to using leaves as toilet paper?" Ron asked with a grimace.
"No, Ron, things can't be that dire," Kim replied, getting out the old model of the Kimmunicator. "I'm going to get to the bottom of this with Wade."
With the push of a button, Wade came onscreen. "Hey, Kim. I was about to call you. I'm sure you're finding out about the toilet paper goods."
"Yeah. Apparently the Smarty Mart here in Middleton has been wiped clean," Kim groaned. "Well...not literally, but..."
"KPS! You made a T.P. joke!" Ron pointed out with a proud giggle.
"It's not just Smarty Mart, Kim," Wade explained. "It's all over the globe! Paper products, cleaning products, and even water shortages are starting everywhere even since before the stay-at-home orders!"
"Wait...stay-at-home orders?" Kim asked.
"Yeah," Wade continued. "This just came hot off the press from Global Justice!" He uploaded a PDF document to the Kimmunicator.
Kim narrowed her eyes as she read and then gasped.
"It says that we have to work from home for the next three weeks starting tomorrow?" she exclaimed.
"I'm afraid so, Kim," Wade said as his face appeared back on the screen. "Which isn't a problem for me, but…well for a field agent like you two… I'll keep you updated."
After the screen went black, Ron thought of something and whispered. "KPS, I know where we can get some T.P."
"Where, and why are you whispering?" Kim asked.
"I don't want anyone else to know that the Middleton Bueno Nacho has a lot of it," Ron replied. "After all the years we've been going there, they've never once had a shortage. I've seen their stock room."
"Daddy, why are we whispering?" Alexa asked, tugging on her father's sleeve.
Kim crossed her arms, both parents ignoring the child for the moment.
"Ron, I don't think it's a good idea to get T.P. from a fast-food restaurant."
"Well, where else are we going to get some?" Ron asked. "And like you said, we aren't going to use leaves."
Kim sighed. "Fine, we can go ask them."
"Booyah!"
Ron walked out of Bueno Nacho to where Kim and the kids waited in the van, his face pale. It took only two minutes to discover, to Ron's shock and dismay, that there was no toilet paper in the Bueno Nacho bathrooms.
"Even Bueno Nacho is out of T.P.?" Kim asked in surprise.
"They even took the one-ply ones..." Ron muttered, taking a seat on the car's hood.
Kim glanced back at the kids playing with their toys in the back seat, and then quietly got out of the van to sit next to her husband.
"Man…this tanks!" Ron grumbled, kicking a small pebble on the asphalt.
"And I think it just got worse..." A familiar nasal voice sighed.
They looked up from the vacant lot to see their old friend Ned, now the manager of the local fast-food favorite, locking the restaurant's doors, the lights having been turned out. The man turned to face them with a solemn expression.
"How worse?" Ron asked. "And how long will Bueno Nacho be closed for?"
"The dining room at this Bueno Nacho will be closed indefinitely because of the pandemic," Ned announced.
"Pandemic?" Kim questioned the word, thinking back to the document Wade had sent her.
"Along with almost every other Bueno Nacho on the planet," Ned finished, resigned.
Ron took a deep breath.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His scream rivaled his son's as the glass of the light in the lamp post above cracked.

Hello! I don't know if you accept requests but Henry eating for the first time esquites/chaskas/elote in a glass, whatever they tell him in your country because in mine they are called chaskas 😭😭
In Mexico, it’s esquites if it’s in a cup and of course elote if it’s on the cob. I do accept requests! Helps with la falta de imaginación
Something New
Pairing: Henry Cavill x Hispanic/Latina! Reader
Summary: Henry meets Y/N’s parents for the first time and tries traditional Mexican food.
Warning: no translated Spanish, spelling and grammatical errors,
A/N: Im gonna input my childhood, obviously.
Y/N was making lunch her and Henry when she got a phone call.
“Bueno?” Y/N asked, adding pasta into the boiling water.
“Hola hija! Cómo estás?” Her mom asked on the other line. Y/N walks away from the stove.
“Mami, estoy bien, y tú? Por qué me estás llamando?” Y/N asked, walking to the living room and swatted Henry’s shoulder, he looked back confused.
“Estoy bien, hija, gracias por preguntar.” Y/N put her mom on speaker. “Como pascua es este domingo, quiero que vengas con tu noviecito, han estado saliendo por un rato y no le hemos conocido ni nada.” Y/N’s mom said and Y/N’s eyes widened, now Henry was concerned, he might not know a lot of Spanish, but he could tell by his girlfriend’s face, this wasn’t the best news.
“Si mami, claro que voy con mi novio, de verdad quiero que se conozcan.” Y/N said.
“Que bueno, Los veo mañana, chao.” Her mom hung up and Y/N facepalmed her forehead.
“I understood about 20% of that, what’s going on?” Henry asked.
“Fortachón, you’ve got your wish, You’re meeting my parents tomorrow.” Y/N said and Henry’s eyes look,Ike they’re going to pop out of his head.
“Tomorrow? I am not prepared!” Henry exclaimed.
“Well tomorrow is Easter and my mom wants to meet you so…yeah. Knowing her, we’ll have a lot of tias and tíos, some primos already have kids so get ready for Superman questions, fortachón.” Y/N said, patting his shoulder before going back to the kitchen.
Now it was Easter, Henry and Y/N were at her mom’s door, Henry carrying the Mexican rice Y/N made. Y/N rang the doorbell again, the door opened and she was greeted by her cousin Ignacio.
“Nacho! Cómo estás?” Y/N hugged her cousin and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Estoy bien prima, Miguelito esta jugando allá fuera. Pásale, pásale, nice to meet you Henry.” Nacho said, shaking Henry’s free hand, leading them through the house and into the backyard. “Put the rice on the table, mi papá ya está preparando los elotes.”
“Ooh, i haven’t had elotes in a while.” Y/N said.
“What’s elote?” Henry asked.
“You haven’t been making Your gringo any Mexican food? What kind of girlfriend are you?” Nacho said and Y/N swatted his arm.
“I make him Mexican food…he likes tacos, bistec empanado con sopita, quesadillas de papa.” Y/N said.
“Don’t worry, hermano, You’re going to eat really well here.” Nacho puts his arm around Henry’s shoulder as best as he could since Henry is obviously taller than him. Y/N says hello to everyone, introducing them to Henry.
“Okay, primer elote está listo, quien lo quiere?” Nacho’s dad, Hernando, asked. Nacho quickly got up for the elote.
“Okay so elote is corn topped with mayonnaise, cheese, and chili power. It’s really good (I haven’t eaten in, I don’t like corn), you’ll like it.” Y/N said. Henry was sat at the table while Y/N made him a plate of food. “I served you sopes which is tortilla topped with refried black beans, queso cotija, and lettuce because the salas is probably too spicy for you, your elote, a tostado which is the same as a sope but it’s a crunchy tortilla, and tostadas de pulpo because they’re my favorite.”
Henry looked at the plate in front of him. “This is a lot of food, love.”
“Yes but think of it this way, if you don’t like it, I’ll eat it, and very happily too.” Y/N said, kissing him. Henry took a bite of the octopus tostada.
“This is really good.” Henry finished that tostada, moved on to the regular tostada, then the sope, adding a bit of salsa. Then to the elote, best for last. He took a bite, some corn falling off the cob, mayonnaise on the corner of his mouth along with pieces of queso cotija and chili powder. “I think elotes might be my favorite, it’s delicious, muchas gracias, Hernando.”
“No es nada, güerito.” Hernando said, making another 2 elotes for Henry to eat.
“I take it this means I have to make more Mexican food in the house?” Y/N asks.
“Oh absolutely, I’m going to have to work out even more to burn off these calories.” Henry said, kissing Y/N with his mouth tasting like elote.
The End
I know it’s short but I hope you like it! Feel free to request more ideas
