Kim Possible is part of a vast Disney Empire.

At the Jr Prom, after the night of the Diablo's…

Celebrate good times, come on

It's your celebration…

"That's it, the Middleton Jr. Prom is over PEOPLE, now go HOME! If you need a ride home, come see me. Good Night." Steve Barkin bellowed as the lights in the auditorium were turned on, signaling the end of the prom.

The room cleared out quickly, goodbyes and hugs shared by all. The heroes of the evening, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, headed to Ron's scooter.

Ron was excited as he aimed the scooter up the Possible's drive way. "Kim and me. Who da thunk it?" He got off the scooter and then put his hand out to help Kim off. They walked to the door hand in hand.

Ron and Kim were at the door. Ron gazed into Kim's eyes and thought he could fall forever into them. This was the happiest moment of his life. Nothing could ruin it…

Kim smiled at him, "Wow, Ron what a night. Eric a syntho-drone, Drakken playing me. Ron, if it wasn't for you, Drakken would have finally won. You were definitely the hero tonight."

She put her hand to his cheek. "If you hadn't made me realize that there IS someone out there for me, I would have just given up. I'll never forget that."

Ron grinned, "Well, that's my job, KP. I knew you just needed a little pep talk. I…"

Suddenly, Kim started giggling. "How about that Bonnie. Thinking that you and I were actually a couple. I mean, how awkweird would that be?"

Ron froze for a moment then said with an awkward laugh, "Oh yeah, too funny. I don't know where she got that idea."

"Poor Bonnie, she just doesn't have a clue about what true friendship is all about, does she?" Kim replied, "But I know what a great friend you are Ron Stoppable. I will never doubt you again. I hope you can forgive me for the way I acted when I was with Eric." Kim shuddered, "Ew, I'm so glad I never kissed him."

Ron laughed nervously, "Yeah, kissing. That was I nice kiss you gave tonight there, Kimber." Kim blushed, "Yeah, about that, I'm sorry Ron, I hope that didn't embarrass you. I just got caught up in the moment, that's all."

Ron rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh no no, KP. It's cool it's cool. I know you were pretty emotional. Hey, I'm always ready to take one for the team, Kim." Kim giggled and punched him lightly on the ribs.

Ron started backing away from the door and he said, "Well all righty then, I guess I should be going, it's pretty late. I'll see you tomorrow KP." He glanced at his watch, "Or later today, that is. So ok, good night."

Kim grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute, Ron." Ron stopped and waited hopefully. Kim wrapped her arms around him, and reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She whispered in his ear, "You know, you're just like a brother to me Ron. I know I can always count on you."

When she released he forced grinned at her and said, "Yep, that's me. Just call me Brother Ron."

"Well good night KP," Ron called out as he rode his scooter back to his house. And as he rode off into the night he thought to himself, "I guess Kim didn't thunk it."

Like a Brother to Me.

Chapter 1 – Back to Normal.

The next morning finds Ron standing in front of the mirror in his bed room, wearing nothing but his boxers, the Fearless Ferret pattern, as it was Sunday.

"Hmm… Ok, maybe I could lose weight around my stomach. Not exactly a six pack." He looked at his face, rubbing his face with his hand. "Ok, so I'm not Nicky Nick, but cute in an average forgettable way. Maybe if I grew a mustache." He places his finger over his upper lip. "What do you think Rufus?"

Rufus looked at him, squeaked "Yech, No No." "Yeah, you're right. Besides by the time it grew out, I'll be graduated from college." He walked over to his bed and sat down. His mind went back to the night before…

"…All right KP, this pity fiesta is over. Drakken has not won, he played you. Now it's payback time. And, you know, er, there are guys out there that are better for you than Eric. Guys that are real for one thing…" "You really think there's a guy out there for me?" "Out there… In here…" "Oh! Really?" "Sure. You know, guys like…" "Hi!" "Rufus?" "Rufus?"

Ron mind returned to the present and glared at his tiny friend, "Ah, man, Rufus! If you hadn't interrupted, man, she must have thought I meant you. Ooh, how sick and wrong would that be." "Hey!" Rufus chattered back at his friend. "Come on, Rufus. What would your kids look like?"

Ron and Rufus looked at each other for a moment, then they both looked away and shuddered.

"Ok, maybe she might have missed what I was trying to say, but what about later…" Again Ron's mind drifted.

"You know, Ron, we better hurry." "Hurry where?" "You'll see." Okay, now tell me that did not mean something. She said 'You'll see'! for crying out loud.

And then we into the Prom. Bonnie yelled out, "Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable are dating? Hah, hah hah…"

But then everybody else started cheering! They were cheering US, the couple, right? Then the music started, and then we started dancing to that song. That song that seemed like it was written just for US. She hugged me, darn it. Ok, so maybe Rufus had to push her against me. She didn't fight it, did she? DID she?

And what about that kiss? Was that nothing? How could that have meant everything to me, and nothing to her?

Ron stood up and went back to his dresser mirror, and looked hard at his reflection again. "So why would she want to be my girlfriend. Let's face facts, Rufus. I'm at the bottom of the food chain, not that attractive, lazy, not to bright, get saved by a girl quite often, you can stop me whenever you want there Rufus." Rufus shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's eat."

"Your concern touches me Rufus." Ron started to dress, "Come on, let's go over to Kim's. Mrs. Dr. P makes great pancakes."

As Ron walked toward the Possible household, he continued to discuss his sitch with his little pink friend (Rufus that is.). "Maybe the reason Kim doesn't think of me as a boyfriend is because she's known me all these years. I'm like an old shoe. Who wants an old shoe for a boyfriend? Also, she's always seeing me when I goof up, lose my pants, accidentally blow up a lair, blah blah. So I need to show her the other side of the Ronman. The smooth, sophisticated, charming dude that all the ladies dig." Rufus looked at him with a skeptical look on his face. "Hey, I dated Zita for a while. And Yori likes me. Ok, Kim had to tell me that, but that's two girls. And Tara, don't forget Tara. Ok, Kim told me that, too. Rufus, I can do this. I am going to ask Kim out on a real date. I just have to work out a plan. And if it ruins our friendship, well so be it." Ron face was determined for a moment, then he said, "Man, I hope I don't ruin our friendship."

He soon arrived at the Possibles home. "Man, look at the holes. I wonder if their insurance will cover it?" He walked to the back door and knocked and called out, "Hello Possible's and good morning." "Come on in, Ron," he heard Mrs. Dr. Possible say.

Ron entered the kitchen and said, "Hola, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. P. How are you this fine morning?" "Good Morning, Ronald. Did you go to the dance after the mission last night? I heard you and Kim come home. Why did she come home with you and not Eric? Did Eric get hurt?" Kim father peppered him with questions from behind the paper he was reading, or so it seemed to Ron.

"So, you haven't talked to Kim today, then?" "Kim went right up to bed last night Ron. She seemed to have had a good time at the dance, though. What DID happen to Eric?" Mrs Possible asked.

"Well, it's a funny thing. Eric turned out to be a synthodrone created by Dr Drakken as a distraction for Kim. Ruffus kinda of uh, popped him. So after Kim and I defeated Drakken, we went to the dance together. That's all."

Mrs. Possible squealed and rushed over and hugged Ron, "I'm so glad that you and Kim are finally a couple. I never did like that Eric character. A little too smooth for my taste. Oh, I have to call your mother." Ron face turned a deep red as he tried to speak, "Bu bu bu,"

"Hmm, Ronald, I think you and I need to have a little Father to possible black whole occupant talk now that you and my little Kimmie-cub are…"

"Eep!" Ron cried. "Hold it, Hooold it." Mrs. Possible stopped in mid phone button push and Mr. Possible put down his paper to stare intently at him. "Kim and I went to the dance, but that's all. We're not a couple. Kim thinks of me as a brother, that's all, I swear, Mr. Dr. P. We're just friends. Best Friends. That's the way Kim wants it."

"Oh, well that's different. Carry on, then, Ronald," Mr. Possible said as he went back to his paper.

Mrs. Possible looked hard at Ron, as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "So, Mrs. Dr. P, any chance that a guy could get some pancakes?" Mrs. Possible raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Sure Ron. Could you give me a hand in the pantry?" "Sure thing, Mrs. Dr. P."

The two entered the walk in pantry, and Mrs. Possible closed the door, she leaned against it and looked at Ron. "That's the way Kim wants it, huh? What do YOU want, Ron." "What? No, that's what WE want. WE, that's what we meant, that is, I, meant just now out there with the WE, and the thing…Anyway, how bout those pancakes?"

Mrs. Possible put a hand on Ron's shoulder, "Ron, you don't have to pretend…" Ron put a hand up and interrupted, "So not the drama, Mrs. Dr. P. Kim and me will always be best buds. And that's it," he smiled at her, "Thanks for looking out for me, though. You know, you HAVE been like a like mother to me."

He moved in and they hugged each other. "Why don't you go up and call Kim down for breakfast, Ron." "Sure, Mrs. Dr. P." Ron moved to open the door, but he paused for a moment as he reached it and said, "Mrs. Dr. P.? It's no big deal, but could we keep this between us? I'd appreciate it." She smiled, "Sure Ron." After Ron left, she muttered, "My idiot daughter."

Ron walked up the stairs to Kim's room. "Hey Kim," he said as he entered. "Ron!" She heard Kim yell. He looked over at the bed, where Kim seated on her bed, dressed in only her underwear, doing something to her arm. "Oh, snap!" Ron cried as he turned and covered his eyes. "Sorry Kim, I swear I didn't see any thing. Ok, I little but I am erasing it from my brain, there it's gone, whew, what a relief."

Kim giggled, "It's ok Ron, I know you didn't do it on purpose. Just hold on a sec." Ron heard some rustling noises, then Kim said, "Ok, you can look." Ron turned to find Kim wrapped in a blanket, holding a bandage.

"You came just in time, could you give me a hand?" Kim pointed at the scratch marks she had received from Shego the night before. "I'm having a little trouble getting this on with one hand." "Sure, KP. Let me help you." Ron grabbed the bandage from her and carefully wrapped it around her arm. "Why didn't you have your mother do this?" "Are you kidding? You know how she gets when I get hurt. It's just a scratch. The Global Justice medic cleaned me up last night, so I just need to change the bandage." "Ok Kim. If you say so. There. Dr. Ron, at your service." "Thanks, Dr. Ron," Kim said, and then she reached over kissed him on the cheek.

"Whoa, Miss Possible, I know patients have a tendency to fall in love with their Drs, but I'm afraid I'm married and having an affair with my hot nurse. I CAN work you in on Thursday, right before my tee time…"

Kim used her foot to push Ron off the bed. "That is no way to treat a Dr., young lady," Ron said as he got up rubbing his buttocks. Kim burst out laughing and was soon joined by Ron. "Ok, Dr. Now please get out so your patient can get dressed."

"Ok, KP. I'll wait downstairs. And by the way," Ron said as he was about to reach the stairs, "Granny panties?" He shook his head sadly. "I am so NOT wearing granny panties, Ron, I'm wearing a tho…" Kim stopped herself, but it was too late as far Ron was concerned. "Oh, Kimberly. That is just too much information for your brother to hear," Ron ran down the stairs laughing as Kim called after him, "Yeah you better run Stoppable."

TBC.

Hello everyone. I decided to take a break from my other story, since I'm having a little writers block, and starting a totally unrelated one. I got this idea after watching STD and noticing the hesitation that Kim had just before she kissed Ron. I don't know what the pairing will be yet.

I'd really appreciate some reviews. I think the idea is good but I don't know that the writing is there.

Thanks,

LAW.
