This story takes place after "Graduation".
Chapter 1Ron sat on his bed, staring into the fabric of his blankets as if they held the answers to the questions running through his mind. It had been almost a year since he and Kim had graduated from high school, and everything was finally starting to really look up for the two. They had moved from their respective houses into a house that had been given to them as a graduation present from many of the people that they had rescued over the years. Everyone had chipped in as much as they could spare, and the house was completely theirs. No strings attached. No rent, no taxes, no problems.
Kim had been accepted to just about every college on the planet, but had chosen one in Middleton to stay close to Ron, who had been accepted to only one school. The Middleton Culinary Arts School. But none of that was on Ron's mind at the moment.
Recently, Ron's mind had been plaguing him with thoughts that were not his own. Thoughts that he wished would just go away. But they just kept coming back. Thoughts of fighting. Thoughts of conquering. And a laugh that kept waking him up in the middle of the night, drenched with sweat.
Booyaahahahahahah!
Ron mentally smacked himself. If he didn't figure out a way to make this stop, he was sure that he would go insane. If he wasn't already.
Ron shook himself out of his thoughts and relaxed into a lotus position on his bed. He slowed his breathing and slowly willed his heartbeat to a level that most medical doctors would say was normal for someone in a coma. Ron let his mind sway and drifted into the dreamlike world of his own inner thoughts. He found himself standing in a dark room. The blonde sensed another presence in the room and turned around to see himself. Well, almost himself. The other him was dressed in his old Fearless Ferret costume.
"Who are you?" Ron asked, a little confused as to what his mind was showing him.
"I would think that it would be painfully obvious." The costumed version of himself answered in a tone usually heard right before a superhero took down a group of villains.
"You must remember who you're talking to." A voice called out from the darkness.
"Who's there?" Ron asked turning away from his costumed clone and looking in the direction of this new voice.
Another Ron stepped out of the darkness. This one was dressed in Ron's old outfit from high school.
"You know, it's been a long time since you were actually down here. Didn't Sensei tell you to meditate more often? It helps you focus and keeps your mind balanced." The high school Ron said.
"It's not like he ever really listened to what Sensei taught. He may not have learned, but I made sure to take everything to heart." Another voice said in the darkness followed by a sound like metal scraping against metal.
Ron spun to see yet another version of himself. This one was sitting in a corner of the room, leaning up against the wall. He was shirtless and wore a pair of loose fitting black pants held at the waist bye a blue martial arts belt. This new Ron was holding the Lotus Blade so that its point was in the floor and was scraping a small piece of rough metal over the blade, sharpening it with every sweep. Ron would have turned away from this new Ron, but he was almost afraid to. This new Ron was not like the others. He seemed… dangerous.
"Who are all of you?" The real Ron asked, a little put off that his mind was showing him all of these versions of himself.
"We are you." All three said at the same time. Each sounding like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"To be more specific, different parts of the complete you." The high school Ron pointed out.
"So what exactly are each of you?" The true Ron asked, trying to word his question better to get a more detailed response.
"I am your mind." The high school Ron said, almost eager to answer more questions.
"I am your body." The dark brooding Ron said from his place in the corner.
"Don't worry about him. He's never been quite the same since the Mystical Monkey Power started taking effect. Oh, and I'm your good." The Fearless Ferret version of himself explained.
"I guess that would make me your evil." Another voice called from the darkness. A very familiar voice.
The true Ron watched as another version of himself stepped into the light. A pale blue version of himself.
"Booyahahahahah!!!"
Ron was immediately shaken from his trance. He had broken out in a cold sweat and his breathing had become erratic. A quick glance outside told him that it was late. He had been meditating for a little over a few hours and the sun was beginning to set.
Great. Kim will be home soon. I can talk to her about this.
Ron climbed down from his bed and headed down into the kitchen to fix dinner for the two heroes. On the way, he passed by Kim's room. When they had moved into their new home, they had taken separate rooms. They had quickly found out that neither were very comfortable being separated. They had kept the rooms separated, but they never slept alone, one always crawling into bed with the other before actually falling asleep.
It was a good sleeping arrangement, Ron thought to himself. When they actually got down to actually sleeping. More often than not, sleeping was the last thing on either of their minds when they slipped into bed with eachother.
Ron smiled to himself. He was probably the luckiest person in the whole world. Or, at least he was in his own mind. He was in love with the greatest woman in the world, he lead an active and fulfilling lifestyle, and, together with his girlfriend, he would occasionally save the world from time to time. Life was good.
The pale blue Ron stared at the spot where the true Ron had stood only moments before. Then, he turned to the gruff, battle worn Ron who was still sharpening the Lotus Blade in the corner.
"So, tell me more about those lessons you picked up from Sensei."
The metal that had been scraping across the blade suddenly stopped.
"What in particular would you like to know?" The Ron in the corner asked as he stood up, carefully slinging the Lotus Blade into its sheath on his back.
"Tell me everything."
The blade wielding Ron smiled, revealing a set of razor sharp teeth hidden behind his lips.
End Chapter 1-
Author's NotesHello and welcome to my new story. And for those of you out there who might take this as a sign that I've given up on my old story, "A Lot Darker", don't worry. I plan to finish the story of Psygo. I just figured that I needed a change of pace from my other story. So, here's another story that I came across in the random jumbling of my mind. I just had to do it after finally seeing the "Stop Team Go" episode. That episode was sweet. Well, I've wasted enough of your time. Try to catch chapter two and, as always, please review.
