Realization

DISCLAIMER: All...You know what? Screw it; you oughta know the drill by now.

Prologue: So The Drama (great movie btw)

The door to the gym opened, and all heads turned towards it. There was Kim Possible, in her baby-blue dress (scorched a slight bit on the bottom from a laser shot she'd dodged from a mutated kid's toy), and holding hands with Ron Stoppable, who was wearing a matching tuxedo. To Monique, Bonnie, Brick, and all the others in attendance, that could only mean one thing...

"It finally happened," said Bonnie, incredulous. "She's dating that loser." Then she turned to the rest of the gym and called out, "Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable are dating?" Then she let out a cold, cruel, harsh laugh, which was met with silence for a few seconds, after which the rest of the gym let out a rousing cheer. Kim and Ron smiled nervously at each other. Why wouldn't they be nervous? They were about to take the biggest step forward of their lives. Then the music started. Kim recognized it, immediately: She had written this song herself. Just as it started, Rufus jumped out of Ron's pocket and got the ball rolling by pushing the two close enough so they could take each other's hand and move out onto the floor; work their magic.

I know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time I opened up my eyes

Now Kim and Ron were under the disco ball, leaning on each other. This was, indeed, the start of something new.

Now I see you were always with me

Rufus and Monique were hanging out by the boombox.

Damn, Monique was thinking, that girl's fine. I wish she was mine. Ron is so damn lucky to have her, and he doesn't even know it.

(chorus)
Could it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you

Now they stopped dancing and just looked into each other's eyes. Ron was the first to give the comforting smile. Their foreheads touched, Kim's tilted downward for a few seconds, then back up, and then they leaned in.

Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true that it's you

At last, at long last, for the first time in both's right minds, Kim and Ron shared a kiss on the level that would have made Andy and Larry Wachowski proud. The whole gym was mentally cheering for the new couple. All except two. Bonnie was one, and her reasons were obvious.

It's you and it's you

Hot damn, Monique was thinking to herself, I wish that was me kissing Kim. He really is a lucky bastard.

It's kinda funny you were always near
But who'd have ever thought that we would end up here
And every time I needed you
You've been there, you've pulled me through
Now it's clear I've been waiting for you

(repeat chorus)

'Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes
And it's real, and it's true
It's just me and you
Could it be that it's true that it's you

(repeat chorus)

Kim and Ron finally pulled apart as the song ended. (Bonnie, by now, had stormed out of the gym.) They stood there, in what some of us refer to as the "Kiss Coma", for a few minutes, until Ron finally worked up the nerve to speak.

"Kim," he began, "no words I say can truly describe how I feel right now. However, there's a song that I believe will do just that perfectly." He hopped up to the DJ, grabbed the microphone, and let his voice (gorgeous when he's singing, btw) fly...

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it

(chorus)
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See, I was on the verge of breakin' out
Sometimes silence
Can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, ho-oh

If I can see it
Then I can be it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it

(repeat chorus)

At this point, the rest of the people in the gym, with the exception of Bonnie, of course, took up the part of the background choir.

Yea, 'cause I believe in me
Oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
If I can see it
Then I can do it (Brick: I can do it)
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it

The performance from here on out sounded even better than the actual song did when you took into account the events of that night.

(entire gym, to include Ron and Kim)

I believe I can fly (Ron: Whoo!)
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

If I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly
Hey
If I just spread my wings
I can flyyyyyyyyyy (Whoo!)
Hummmmmmmmmmm (Fly-fly-flyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

As the rest of the gym again broke into wild cheering and applause, Kim ran up to Ron and kissed him with such enthusiasm that she swept him off his feet, as opposed to the other way around. Their tongues were meeting in the spot where the two pairs of lips were locked. This was a dream come true for both of them, and neither wanted it to end. There was one discomfort, though, that prevented that from being the case: the mutual need for air. When finally the new lovers did separate, they took each other's hand and left the gym.

They walked in silence back to Kim's place, thinking about the future, and what it would hold for the both of them with this new development having taken place. One thing was for sure, though: lovers or just friends, they were still Team Possible, and they could do anything. They would find a way through this together.

A/N: Holy freaking crap, I didn't know I had this in me. Oh, well. I suppose I should thank Etherelemental. He's helping me with all of this, so look out for more. This could turn out incredible; be prepared!

TBC...
