Growth Spurt

Summer was here at last in Middleton, and not to soon for Ron Stoppable. He had his fill of learning for the year and was looking forward to spending warm summer days with his new Girl friend Kim Possible. The school year for the most part was a mixed bag of "B's" and "C's", not extraordinary but good enough to get him into his senior year of high school.

Everything was how it should be on this June morning; Ron was sleeping blissfully not having to worry about waking up for the dreaded alarm clock. Rufus, Ron's pet and favorite pal was also asleep on a little bed that he had fashioned on Ron's dresser.

Ron started to come out of a deep, deep sleep; the dream of the night was still sort of fresh in his memory. A girl, a unicycle and a traveling taco salesman, didn't make sense but then again most of Ron's dreams were disjointed and pointless. This didn't seem to bother Ron as the dream was pleasant enough, no monsters, no disasters, no arch foes to make the dreams scary.

Ron rolled around in bed for a bit before coming awake with the full realization of "Hey, this is Monday! Kim's coming home today!" Ron glanced over at the dreaded alarm clock, what time is it? It's almost 10:00 AM, I've got to get up and get going Ron thought.

Kim Possible was coming home from a family camping trip and it was all Ron could do for the weekend to find ways to occupy his time while she was away. Ever since the Junior Prom, Kim had become the focal point of Ron's entire existence. He no longer was concerned about playing video games or watching TV, it just wasn't the same anymore.

Now the order of the day was "How do I smell?" or "Will Kim like this?' or "Should I do this or will it embarrass Kim?". Ron was still pretty unsure of himself when it came to the whole girl friend, boy friend business. One thing was for certain having a girl friend was pretty cool, especially when it's a friend you've known all your life.

Ron finally coaxed himself out of bed, "Hey Rufus, Kim's coming home!" Ron's pet naked mole rat stirred in his little bed, half opened his eyes and gave a mighty "Yawn" and then went right back to bed. Rufus was still sleepy but would be there if Ron needed him. Watching Rufus brought a smile to Ron's face, he'd get ready and then give the little guy a surprise wake up call he wouldn't soon forget.

Ron was off to the bathroom to get his shower and make sure he was "Extra Fine" for his gal. Ron got washed up and then it was shaving time, Ron plugged in the little Norelco razor and bent over to get a good view of his face in the mirror. It was then that it dawned on him, "Why am I bending over?" Ron stood up quickly, leaned forward, stood up, cocked his head and finally came to the realization that "Drakken has shrunk our house, while we slept!" No, that can't be it; he's doing time with Shego. Finally Ron looked at the floor, it seemed a mile away. With a panicked scream "Aaaaaughhhhhh" Ron ran back to his room.

The day had just came to a crashing halt, Ron was in a panic "What is going on?" he thought. Last night Ron was 5'7 and now he was at least 6 foot. Ron started to try on his cloths nothing fit right; he tried on more cloths, still no luck finding anything to fit. In Ron's mind he had just become a circus freak, "Come see the giant geek boy." Ron said to no one in particular.

All the scurrying around the dresser and the closet looking for cloths finally woke Rufus up. Rufus was not entirely sure at what he was seeing but knew from Ron's frantic pace that it couldn't be good. Finally with a mighty "Plop" Ron sat on the bed and looked at Rufus. "My whole life is ruined Rufus, nothing fits, what am I going to do?" Rufus thought about the whole situation and came up with a solution that would make him happy, "Cheese" he said.

Ron looked at Rufus and then back at the ground, "Oh Man, what's Kim going to think?" Ron was scared, what if Kim doesn't like me tall, and what if Kim laughs at me or worse dumps me? Ron was a mixture of angst and fear. Suddenly having a girl friend went form pretty cool to pretty terrifying.

Ron lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling and let his mind wonder. In his mind the answer came. He knew Kim wouldn't abandon him or laugh at him, and deep down inside he knew he wasn't a freak, he was just growing up. There was nothing to worry about really, except for finding cloths and giving KP a big ole giant bear hug, he thought to himself.

Ron's mom and dad were at work now, so Ron put on a pair of pajamas that now came up to just below his knees and headed off to the kitchen. He was hungry and knew for sure that Rufus was starving. Time for breakfast he thought. Things sure look different when your tall he thought to himself. I can reach on top of the fridge and get cups from the top shelves of the cabinets. Ron looked at Rufus and said "Hey Rufus, I think this tall thing is gonna be a good thing." Rufus was more concerned about getting fed and Ron was always a giant to his little eyes.

The ringing of the telephone now captures Ron's attention; he looks at the caller ID and knows its Kim calling. Ok, don't panic he thinks as he picks up the phone. "Hey KP" Ron spoke into the receiver trying to sound as normal as possible. "Ron, we're back in town, the trip was awful and I'm killing the Tweebs." Kim half whined and shouted over the phone. Ron smiled as he thought of Kim when she was angry and glad he wasn't the focus of the wrath.

Ron and Kim made small talk, Ron all the while trying to muster up enough courage to tell Kim of his newest dilemma. "So KP, can you drop by I really need to see you?" Ron asked, "Something happened last night." he added. "Is it a bad something or a good something?" Kim asked nervously. Ron didn't want to give too much away at least not yet. "Kim did I tell you that I missed you?" Ron asked trying to change the subject. "I missed you to Ron, be over in 5, bye." Kim said as she excitedly hung up the phone.

Ron looked over at Rufus eating a nice bowl full of shredded cheese and told the small rodent: "Well Rufus, I'll either still have a girl friend in a few minuets or I'll be crashing and burning." Rufus looked up at Ron and made the sound of air plane crashing with a nice "BOOM" thrown in for good measure. "Thanks Rufus, I needed that." Ron said as we off to find something to wear.
