AU/Fourth Season is ignored. This is a pre fourth season story. This Story takes place after STD, Kim and Ron must make hard decisions on the direction of their relationship. The story starts off slow but will pick up in future chapters. Sometimes fate is unkind. 3/8/06 Updating the story to make it easier to read.
Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for, Ron Stoppable had always been Kim Possible's life long companion. He was with her through the major events of her life and helped her save the world on many occasions. The save the world "Thing" brought fame and much notoriety to Kim through the years, while Ron gained a reputation for not being very bright, clumsy and down right buffoonish. Ron didn't seem to mind the reputation very much as long as he could hang out with his good friend Kim. Ron had always secretly harbored a dream that one day he and Kim could become a couple.
On a dark stormy night, Ron helped Kim possible thwart Dr. Drakken's evil plan and also helped defeat Kim's boyfriend and Shego in the process. During the battle Ron finally worked up enough courage to tell Kim how he had felt. After the battle was done Ron finally took his place by Kim's side and danced the last dance of the prom and lived the dream of holding Kim and giving her a kiss. From that moment on Ron's life would never be the same.
Ron awoke on Sunday morning; actually it was more like Sunday afternoon since he was up most of the previous night. Ron lay in bed wondering if last night was a dream or if it really happened. Ron looked up at the closet and saw the tuxedo hanging there, Kim's lipstick on the white dress shirt collar. I'm never going to wash that shirt Ron thought. Ron got up and showered, got dressed and went down stairs to tell his parents all about the previous night.
Ron's parents listened to the story and to how Ron and Kim were able to get together at the dance and how great he felt. Ron's mother took the story and made a pronouncement that left Ron befuddled. "Ron, it's not that we don't like Kim and her family, but I just wouldn't read too much into last night."
She advised him. "Kim was vulnerable after such a blow by what she thought to be her boyfriend. It's only natural she should look for someone else."
Ron wasn't prepared for that, he thought his parents would be happy that he and Kim got together. Ron's mother noticed the rather shocked look on Ron's faces continued, "Don't worry honey, your young and they'll be plenty of time to find a nice Jewish girl to settle down with."
Ron's jaw hit the ground "Mom! Have you ever thought that maybe Kim might like me?" he yelled at his parents.
Ron picked up his buddy Rufus and left the house in a funk; he never expected to hear such a thing from his mother of all people. Ron rode his little blue scooter to his second home the Possible's. Ron parked the little cycle in the driveway and then pushed his earlier conversation with his parents to the back of his mind. Ron had to make himself happy to see his new girlfriend.
Ron didn't have to go to the door, Mr. Possible met him in the driveway, "Ronald, how are you today?"
Mr. Possible asked with a rather stern voice. Ron started to melt, "I'm fine Mr. Dr. P, Kim home?" he asked.
Mr. Possible lifted an eyebrow, "No Ronald, she's not here. She and her mother are out shopping." He said.
Ron shifted his weight from foot to foot obviously very nervous. Mr. Possible recognizing that Ron was really nervous decided to have bit of fun at Ron's expense. "Ronald, the twins showed me a picture floating around on the internet. A picture of you and Kim kissing."
He said with an upturned eyebrow. Ron pulled his head into his body wishing that he was a turtle and could hide altogether. "You know we send a rocket up on Wednesday to crash into a comet. Ronald, in space no one can here you scream." The elder possible added.
Ron started stammering about being sorry and that he would never do anything to hurt Kim. Mr. Possible never cracking a smile narrowed his eyes, "If I see anymore pictures of you kissing my Kimmiecub on the internet, the last words you'll hear on this planet is BLASTOFF. Understand Ronald?" Mr. Possible asked.
Ron's jaw hit the ground; he was clearly not expecting this kind of reception. "Yes sir, I better go now." He stammered.
Ron started his scooter and drove away from the Possible's house, if he would have turned around he would have seen Dr. Possible shaking his head and having a good laugh. Ron didn't want to go home, so he decided to head out to the mall, he didn't really need anything but just wanted to look around and hang out for a bit.
Ron parked his scooter and went inside. Ron enjoyed the mall all the bright lights, and colors, electronic gizmos and he just liked sitting outside club banana watching all the people walk by. Ron would see the occasional classmate and wave, shoot the breeze for a bit and watch them move on. Rufus liked hiding in the plastic plants next to the bench and would pop up from time to time and say "Peek a Boo."
Ron waived at Monique inside Club Banana, she spotted Ron and waived back, then disappeared inside the store for a bit before coming out to say "Hi" to Ron. Monique set down beside Ron, "I'm on a ten minuet break, so tell me how lover boy is doing today." She said winking at Ron.
Ron gave a big lazy stretch and took his right hand and pounded his chest twice, made a peace sign. "Ain't nothin' but love here, Monique." He said in his most hip happening voice. "Just chllin' and soakin' it all in after the greatest single night of my life." Ron said while rolling his head backwards to help him capture the memory.
Monique smiled and punched Ron's arm, she was so happy that Kim and Ron finally found each other. She could see the attraction even though neither of them could figure it out. Monique looked conspiratorial at Ron, "So you seen your new hottie yet?" she whispered to Ron.
Ron was still playing Mr. Cool, "No you now it is, Kimmie needed some family time today so I'll try and call her tonight." He said.
Monique told Ron to take care and went back to work. Ron looked over to Rufus, "Hear that Rufus? My new Hottie." Ron beamed. Ron leaned back on the bench, no sir he thought it don't get much better than this.
It started to get late, the mall always closes early on Sundays so Ron returned to his scooter and decided to take a spin by Bueno Nacho to see how the repairs were going and to get some snakage.
Ron was coaxing the little scooter a long as best he could, the little scooter had seen better days and didn't look like it would see many more. I'm going to be a senior this coming year, I wish I could figure out a way to score a set of wheels, he thought. Ron's mind drifted, "A man ain't no man unless he's got wheels." He thought and smiled to himself.
Ron rode up in front of Bueno Nacho, the place took more damage last night than what he had thought. The sign was gone, the windows boarded up and a spray painted message that read "Come on in we're open." Ron looked around and decided that most people were paying attention to the sign as the parking lot was empty.
Ron brought the scooter to a halt, and entered the restaurant, the interior looked pretty good he thought for a titanic size end of the world type battle that was fought here last night. Ron spied his buddy Ned, "Hey Ned, Chimerito Combo Grande Sized" he told his friend.
Ned was happy to see Ron he was starting to get lonely with the lack of customers all day. Ned took Ron's money and proceeded to make with small talk, "So I hear after you saved the world that you finally got the girl." He said in a knowing tone.
Ron puffed up and smiled "Yea the old Stoppable Mojo was in full bloom last night." He bragged.
Ron took his food and sat at his favorite table and turned Rufus loose on his Naco, Ron ate the chimerito and stared at the board where the window should be. The fact that window wasn't there didn't seem to bother Ron. Ned came from the back and took a seat across from Ron; Ned was in a talkative mood. "It's been dead in here all day, ya figure with a major take over the world plot originating from here they're would be more tourists around." Ned told the pair.
Ron just nodded and looked around, then shot Ned a serious look. "Ned, bendee straws?" he asked.
Ned's eyes rolled, "On order, big guy." He informed him.
Ron smiled and nodded, and then a question popped into his head. "Ned, how'd you hear about me and Kim getting together?" Ron asked.
Ned got a big grin on his face and let Ron know, "Tina from the cheer squad was in earlier and was talking about it. She said you won't last as long as Josh Manke." Ned informed him.
Ron just shook his head, "Nah me and Kim are good." He said.
Ned just nodded his head and added, "I also seen the picture on the internet, you looked like you were on a cloud." Ned said dreamily. Ron squirmed at the observation and informed Ned that he hadn't seen the picture yet.
"Tina also said that Kim only turned to you when her date went kapoof and that relationships on the rebound never work out." Ned added.
Ron looked at Ned, and was quiet for a long moment; his mother was telling him that earlier. He shook the concern off, "Nahhhhhhhhhh, me and Kim are good, she wouldn't do that to me." He said confidently.
Ned smiled and gave Ron a thumbs up before returning to work in the empty restaurant. Once alone Ron looked at Rufus, "You don't think Kim would do that to me do you little do ya?"
Rufus looked up from the food and shook his head "No Way" he said.
Ron returned home, there was still a school day tomorrow and he wanted to see if Kim was home and chat for a while. Kim was home and they talked for about an hour all about each others day and how they couldn't wait to see each other in the morning.
Ron agreed to come pick her up for school, Kim promised to be on time. Hearing Kim's voice relieved any of his subconscious fears about what Tina or his mother might think.
This one Sunday after the greatest day of Ron Stoppable's life would prove to be his last day of innocence for tomorrow everything he knows and believes will be turned upside down.
