Kim Possible

Spy School

Prologue:

"I never thought it would end like this, KP." Ron Stoppable said as he sat in the cave shivering. He held on to Kim Possible, his best friend, his girl friend. His lover.

"You mean freezing to death?" Kim asked, checking the frosted Kimmunicator on her wrist again for a signal. Static. "At least the town below is safe. Dementor's avalanche machine is out of commission finally."

"No, I mean in Canada. I kinda figured we'd go out in the jungle, or desert, or something. Like England, maybe y'know?" Ron replied through chattering teeth.

"Jungle, desert... England?" Kim asked. She pulled the laser from her pack and turned the switch. Nothing. "Nuts! I had to use up the power to disconnect the avalanche machine."

"We could always cuddle." Ron grinned.

Kim glared. "This really isn't the time, Ron."

"Well, we still have an unresolved issue."

"What?" Kim asked, finally sitting again on the jagged stone floor.

"Moving in..." Ron stated shyly.

"Really not the time!" Kim shot another glare.

Ron shrugged. Rufus stirred in his gloved hands and shivered. "Poor guy. Naked and cold just don't mix." Wrapping Rufus in his scarf, Ron stuffed the mole rat into his jacket.

Kim looked at Ron. It had been a few months since they had nearly destroyed everything they held dear. She had talked to her family at length once of twice since then, but knew with Christmas coming, she would have to face them. At the moment, Ron was all she had, and she had just pushed him away again. She smiled and pushed up next to him, warming herself with a close hug. "I'm sorry, Ron. I guess I'm worried what'll happen if my parents found out."

Realization suddenly struck Ron. "Oh, I do recall your dad saying something about a black hole if I ever hurt you..."

Kim was confused. "When did he say that?"

Ron tapped his chin in thought. He quite clearly recalled the moodulator incident. Their first mutual kiss and then how she had almost killed him. He grinned, remembering the little black dress she had worn on their date. "I, uh, forget. But you don't think I'm worried about what my parents will do? I'm Jewish, remember?"

"Well, I guess we are... did you hear that?" Kim asked, suddenly alert.

Ron listened for a moment. It sounded like digging. "Abdominal Snowman!" he shouted.

"It's abominable, Ron." Kim corrected, instantly in a defensive posture.

"Not if he's got ice hard abs." Ron grinned, stretching his cold stiff legs. A piece of ice fell in from the blocked off exit. Kim and Ron backed up to each other as what appeared to be a furry hand reached through the small hole.

Kim pulled the broken grapple gun from its holster and loaded it with pebbles from the cave floor. "I didn't know it could do that!" Ron said, staring.

Kim shrugged. "It worked with fruit." she smiled. Ron gave her a quizzical look as the hole opened wider and a furry humanoid stepped through. "Back off! I'm warning you!" Kim shouted, the grapple gun aimed for the creature's chest.

The beast looked at them, unfazed by her threat. Both hands went up to its face and shifted some goggles up and took the furry hat from its head. Beneath the floppy eared hat was black, styled hair, piercing dark eyes and a pointy chin that was covered in dark stubble. "Stoppable, you're late."

Both Kim and Ron couldn't contain their surprise. "Joe?!"
