A/N: Hey first time writing a Kim Possible Fanfiction, but I absolutely love the show and I always wondered... What if Kim had rejected Ron during Junior Prom. So I wrote it. Now in this story Eric is a real person who was replaced with a Synthodrone and is the soul reason for Kim rejecting Ron... at least for now. Who knows where this story will end.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible or any of the characters... although I do wish for more episodes or maybe a live action series... as long as it is done right. Maybe even another movie who knows.

Oh and please Review

Mr. Nice Guy

Chapter 1: The alternative

The explosion rocked the building as the antenna began to destroy itself with the electrical charge flowing through it. Drakken could only watch in horror as his plan to rule the world, his plan that had taken months of careful planning and research was easily foiled by his teenage arch-nemesis, Kim Possible.

"Okay, maybe she is all that…" he could only mutter as he began to panic and start to run away. His escape attempt was cut short when he was tripped and landed on the floor.

Kim Possible's buffoon of a sidekick stood over him, towering with anger.

"Taking over the world is one thing, but you ruined Bueno Nacho… and you're going to pay." The blonde teenager went on. Drakken could only give him a look of surprise as he responded, "You can't be serious?"

Ron leaned in close and pointed to his face, "Note serious face."

"Please eh… your name escapes me." Drakken pleaded.

"Say my name, SAY IT!"

"It's… uh… Stoppable!"

Ron managed a small satisfied smile as he crossed his arms and said, "Boo yah."

As the police finally finished apprehending Drakken and his men, Ron could hear Drakken complain.

"It's over dude."He managed to say as he slammed the door and watch as they van began to drive away.

"You know Ron…" he heard. He turned to see his best friend, the most badical girl that he knew. Kim, in all her wonderful self, looked at him with an endearing look. "I was thinking about what you said… you know… about- Eric?"

"Eric?"Ron replied as he followed her look behind him and saw the police escorting the young man to the teen heroes. "Oh, Eric… the real Eric, right." He muttered as he felt a bit of sadness on what that meant. He gave a weak smile to Kim as he turned to her. "Go on Kim, do what you gotta do."

Kim gave him a sad look, but slowly turned into a smile as she hugged him. "You're the best Ron, you know that." She managed to say as she let him go and ran towards Eric. Ron could only nod as he saw her run towards the other guy. He had hoped she had chosen him, but instead her choice was Eric. Ron's shoulders lowered a bit as he could only look at the couple sharing an emotional moment.

Rufus made his way to his shoulder, watching the same scene unfold and, noticed Ron's look of sadness and loss. The naked mole rat could only pat his friends shoulder as they looked on. Ron looked at his naked friend and gave him a sad smile as they began to walk away, "They say actions are louder than words… I definitely got the message this time Rufus."

The blonde got on his scooter, turning back for the last time, as a tear rolled down his face. "I hope you're happy Kim, I really do… but it still hurts to see…" He let the sentence hang as he placed his helmet on, and started the scooter. He drove, drove as far away as possible, trying to will the images away. He had bared his heart and soul to the one person he thought would never reject him… only to find that the love and affection he had for her would not, could not be reciprocated.

"I should of known better than to think that some one like Kim would ever look at me in that light… I knew I didn't have a chance..." he muttered to himself as a fresh wave of emotion came over him as he neared his house. "Why did I let myself hope for something more?"

Rufus could hear his friends muttering and took a deep breath as he tried to think of a way to help him in his time of need, but the little naked mole rat couldn't think of anything. He could only watch as his best friend suffered this immense pain on his own.

Ron was tough, letting most of the bullying, taunting, and insults roll off of him as if they were nothing. Nothing seemed to phase him to the point of making him cry, at least nothing used to, until now. "At least Kim is happy. I mean I know I'm hurting now, but Kim… Kim deserves this." Ron muttered as he tried to convince himself that he should be happy, trying to see the silver lining in this dark cloud that was falling over him. "She does so much, and ask for so little in return that… it's nice to see her getting something she wants every once in a while… even if it pains me."

Rufus squeaked and jumped on Ron's shoulder as he tried to get him to go back and fight for Kim, but Ron simply shook his head and gave his little friend a sad smile, "No Rufus… this is Kim's night to be happy, not mine. It wouldn't be fair to her… even if it isn't fair to me."

The crowd cheered as Kim made her appearance back at the prom with Eric. She was ecstatic as she danced and enjoyed the rest of the evening with him, kissing him as the slow dance ended. She was happy, content in the world and no take over the world plot could ever disturb this. But a certain confession did.

She felt a bit of guilt as she slow danced with Eric. Ron's confession had been a bit of a shock so she hadn't really answered it, but when she thought that Eric was really a syntho-drone, she had considered Ron for a moment. Now, that the real Eric was with her, she was a bit confused, a small amount of doubt in her mind if things would have ever worked out with Ron.

She mentally shook her had as she danced. She could never be able to date Ron, it would ruin the friendship they had. A friendship that she cherished very much, but she didn't want it to turn into more… did she?

"Kim, you okay?" she heard someone call as she pulled away from her thoughts. Eric gave her a smile as he waited for her response. She returned the smile, "Sorry, just enjoying the moment."

"Good because I was wondering if you were enjoying yourself."

"Of course, I'm at the junior prom with one amazing guy, and the world is safe once more. What isn't there to enjoy?" Kim answered as she smiled at Eric, but as she smiled she made her decision. She would explain to Ron why it wouldn't work out between both of them, and hopefully make him realize that they would always be friends.

Ron breathed slowly as he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling with sadness in heart. He patted Rufus who was lying on his chest. "Thanks buddy, I appreciate the love."

Love… he thought to himself, why did I think Kim could ever love a loser like me. She's a smart, funny, and beautiful girl… she deserves someone like Eric, not a slob and idiot like me. Last night opened my eyes. I just wished it didn't hurt so much.

Knock-Knock

"Ron?"

Ron stood up surprised to find Kim walking through his door. "Kim! What are you doing here? I thought you would have been spending your time with Eric right now."

"Oh, I will." She responded as she looked a bit bashful, "But I was hoping to talk about… last night."

"Oh… last night… yeah… I just said that to get you back in the game." Ron managed to say with a straight face looking at Kim.

"Back in the game… Ron don't-"

"I'm serious K.P. you were starting to doubt yourself, so I tried to get your mind off things." Ron responded.

Kim gave him a questioning look, finally taking a deep breath as she sat next to him. "Ron… I still feel we should talk about this. You know, in case you really want to… you know."

"What, come one. We're best buds, life long friends."

"Best friends Ron." Kim told him as she held his hand. "The best of friends, but I'm not sure if we will ever be more… and I don't think we should." Kim replied as she gave him a knowing look.

"What do you mean K.P.?" Ron asked as his heart began to race. "Why shouldn't we?"

"Because if we do… we might lose our friendship, and I don't want to lose that. Our friendship is one of the most important things to me, and I wouldn't know what to do it I lost that. I don't want to lose you." She honestly believed that, and Ron could clearly see that, so he did the only thing he could do… he acted like an idiot.

"The only way you could ever lose me is if I try to stop Drakken on my own, end up launching all the escape pods, only to use the trash pod, and land at the north pole with no way to contact you… oh wait you still found me when that happened." He smirked at his response which brought a smile to Kim's face. "Kim, we will always be Best Friends, No matter what. Don't worry about it."

"So, are you really okay with all of this?" Kim asked a look of concern on her face.

Ron gave her a huge smile and nodded, hearing the telltale sounds of Eric's bike, "I'm positive Kim. Now go, before your boyfriend starts a neighborhood search party to find you."

Kim smiled as she leaned over and hugged him, "You rock Ron, I hope you know that."

"It's what I do." He answered as he watched her get up and head out. He stood up and walked to his window, watching as she got on Eric's bike and rode away. Pressing his hand on his chest, he looked down as he recalled her words to him.

I knew it! She doesn't look at me the way I look at her. He felt tears well up in his eyes as he turned to Rufus. "We'll always be best friends…" But only best friends… nothing but friends… Ron closed his eyes, trying to will the tears away as he felt one roll down his face. "What more could a guy like me want?"
