Ron was coming back home, this day was going to end at the top of the list of the shittiest days of his life. Not that it had been that bad, there was a lot of good: his friendship with Kim seemed to be rock solid again, Drakken and Shego were behind the bars, hopefully for good and he finally made Drakken acknowledge him by making him say his name. Then why was this day so bad? Today had been an emotional rollercoaster, finding out about Drakken's new plot had brought Ron and Kim close again, especially when they ended up tied in this storage room after Kim's new boyfriend ended up being a synthodrone who knocked her out. Here he managed to start voicing his feeling and started hoping. Maybe he and Kim would end up together, that smile in the storage room wasn't something she made up to comfort him right? Maybe she realized she had feelings for him too? And after Drakken had been taken care of when she came to him saying they had somewhere to go and they were going to be late he started to feel his heart bursting out his chest: "This is it, this is where KP and I start".

And then it started going sideways. A global justice agent interrupted them saying he found someone from their school in the rubble of Drakken's lair: it was Eric. It turns out the real Eric wasn't a synthodrone. The real Eric had been kidnapped by Shego while we were stopping Middleton's Diablos and Drakken simply created a synthodrone that looked like Eric. The moment Kim saw Eric, Ron felt his heart breaking: she had stars in her eyes and couldn't stop staring at him. Suddenly it was just as if Ron wasn't even here, Kim was asking about Eric's whereabouts during the whole stitch and they decided to go together at the prom to finish what they started earlier.

Ron took the ride a police officer was offering him since Kim and Eric took his bike, without asking of course since it was like he wasn't even here, and stood here, just waiting to be home and finish what was officially the worst day of his life. He couldn't help but think about how unfair it was, it was him that always stood by her even in the worst moments, him that travelled to the other side of the world to bring back a fancy flower to save her, him that fought supervillain alongside with her, him that was here in this storage room to bring back KP's fire. The only thing Eric ever did was to come with his "handsome" face, broad shoulders and "cool" look and this was it, he had KP's Heart. It wasn't only anger toward this situation that was boiling inside Ron, there was also a bit of disappointment toward his best friend, toward the girl he loved. A girl who didn't care about anything other than looks. He knew it was unfair to think about KP like this considering she stayed his friend even though she became popular and never judged people by their looks but when it came to her love life the only thing she wanted was a "hottie". Ron knew it, it was for this reason that she left him in a closet last year when she went to the dance with Mankey. It was for this reason that Drakken was able to trap it tonight. And it was for this reason that she left him on the parking lot tonight while she was lovingly embracing Eric who was driving HIS BIKE.

Ron went straight to his room and laid on his bed, not able to sleep after today's events. He kept thinking about KP and if they would one day have a chance to be together. Kim liked hotties, boys who were tall, with good looks, boys who were popular and successful, boys who could tell girls cheesy lines about how beautiful they were, boys who were confident about themselves. Everything he wasn't. And he knew that if there were things he could work on such as his confidence (that would need a lot of work) or his manners (how many times did Kim tell him he was gross when he was eating?), there were others he would never have, some because it was impossible (no one can modify his height or built, except with artificial enhancements like the HenchCo ring but he refused to use such things, it would be like lying to her and he knew KP would see through it) and some because it just wasn't him.

The truth is Ron hated hotties more than anything in high school, yes even more than Bonnie, because they were everything he hated: they were superficial, they didn't care about people outside of their life, the only thing that mattered to them was to be as popular as possible, that and girls. Even if he knew they weren't all like this, he knew that Mankey was really serious about painting and that it wasn't just a way to be popular to him or that Brick was serious about Football and really wanted to make a living out of it, he couldn't manage to find any redeeming quality about Eric. He was the embodiment of the "hottie" that Ron hated, the kind that only liked what was popular, the kind that wasn't serious about anything except when it helped him in getting what he wanted, the kind that could only see him, Ron, as the loser they wanted him to be, and the kind that only liked Kim because she was the "girl who can do anything" and the beautiful captain of the cheer squad.

Eric wouldn't have paid any attention to the girl that was being bullied back then in preschool, he wouldn't have looked at Kim when she was wearing her braces back then in middle school.

And Ron, more than anything, didn't want to become that kind of guy. His motto was "Never be normal", when every guy was dreaming about becoming a hottie and being at the top of the "food chain" he just wanted to keep his friends, real friends like Kim, Monique, Felix and Wade, and keep doing what he likes to do: eating, playing video games, cooking, helping people with Kim. He didn't care if it didn't sound cool, that's who Ron Stoppable is.

The head full of those thought he drifted to sleep, hoping that tonight's events were just a dream; that he would wake up and the girl he loved wasn't dating this guy, especially after he came close to confessing his feelings to her. Tomorrow is another day, it couldn't be worse than this one.
