A New Beginning

Stage 1

Kim could hardly stand still as she paced the lobby of the airport waiting or Ron's plane to land which should be any minute. They still had a couple weeks of vacation left to them that they could spend together before school started for their senior year. They was able to spend a little time together before Sensei had sent for Ron wanting only him to come because of the secretness involved in whatever business it was.

"Flight 901 from Japan now arriving at gate 41." The announcer said over the intercom, the voice cracking due to the poor speaker system.

"Spankin!" Kim exclaimed, perking up as she hurried through the crowds toward the mentioned gate to met her boy friend and help with his luggage. She smiled as she seen the blonde mop that was Ron's hair but as she got a closer look there was a dark haired Japanese girl walking with him, their fingers interwined with each other as they held hands walking way to close to each other for Kim's face.

"R-Ron?" Kim asked as the two walked past her not noticing her walking up behind them.

"Kim?" Ron squeaked out, his face taking on a guilty expression as he spun around tyring to let go of Yori's hand but she just squeezed tighter.

"We have to tell her, Ron-Kun." Yori said sadly looking pitifully at Kim.

"Tell me what?" Kim asked fighting back tears. "Ron, what's going on?"

"I'm so sorry, KP but while I was in Japan…Yori and me…We got a lot closer before I realized it. We kind of got really close." Ron tried to explain but by the way the two were blushing Kim had her own ideas of what happened.

"H-How?" Kim asked, shaking as the first tears escaped. "How could you do this to me?"

"Kp, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Ron said softly, reaching out with his free hand as Kim backed away from them.

"Don't Ron." Kim cried, "Jus don't!"

"Kim!" Ron cried out as Kim spun around and ran from the two not looking back, not eve caring where she was running. She wasn't even sure how long she ran until she barreled into someone. Stepping back she looked up into the worried face of her mother before throwing herself into her mother's arms sbbing uncontrollably.

"Kimmie, what's wrong?" Ann asked softly, stroking Kim's hair while holding her daughter close. It seemed like forever before Kim calmed down enough for Ann to lead the distraught girl into the hospital and to her office.

"How could he do this to me after all we been through?" Kim asked softly as she sat in her mother's lap on the sofa in the large office that Ann often used to take naps on breaks during her longer shifts.

"Do what dear?" Ann asked softly as Kim pulled away and got up pacing the room in front of the elder Possible.

"He hooked up with that…that…BITCH!" Kim growled, finally snapping realizing what she just said and blushed. She met Yori once and actually liked the girl which made Kim partially ashamed for her outburst but she had every right o be angry but at who? Ron? Hell yeah she was pissed at her so called best friend since pre-k, the boy she shared everything with since they met and depended on. The boy she foolishly feel in love with and the boy who just ripped her heart out and stomped all over it.

"Honey, I don't know what your talking about." Ann said softly, reaching out and taking Kim's hand and squeezing it reassuringly. "Please honey, calm down and tell me what happened."

"Wade found out Ron was coming home today instead of tomorrow and I went to the airport so I could met him but when I saw him get off the plane he was holding Yori's hand." Kim explained sadly, tears falling again.

"Honey, maybe it wasn't what it looked like." Ann said softly drawing Kim back into her lap.

"Mom, they told me. Well, Yori made Ron tell me. I don't think the coward was even going to tell me." Kim cried as her mother held her close stroking her fiery hair softly.

"I know it hurts Kimmie but maybe its for the best." Ann whispered, "If he is going to treat you like this its better that you find out sooner rather than later."

"Mom, I never really felt this close to another guy, not even Josh." Kim siffed.

"That Mankey boy?" Ann asked, surprise evident in her voice.

"Yeah, I guess I deserve this." Kim sighed, "I-I never really liked Mankey a whole lot Mom. Bonnie was teasing me saying that I was dating Ron and when I objected she accused me of being a Lesbian. I only dated Josh because Booni liked him. I-I wanted to get back at her."

"Oh Kimmie." Ann said squeezing her daughter gently. "While I don't approve of what you did it didn't make you deserve what happened."

"I don't know what to do mom." Kim said rubbing her eyes.

"Kimmie, I want to ask you something and I don't want it to sound like I don't care but I really want you to think about it." Ann asked after a deep sigh. "What do you really feel for Ron?"

"Mom! H-How could you ask that?' Kim asked in shock, on the verge of bursting into tears again.

"Honey, I'm not trying to hurt you but its something I've been worried about since that night after you said you two kissed. You two have been so much like brother and sister, I…I was worried that this might destroy that relationship after the emotional high had time to settle."

"Mom…" Kim started but was interuoted when Ann put her finger on her lips.

"Kimmie, please think about it seriously." Ann whispered.

"Mom, he's always been like a brother to me." Kim said sadly, "But I loved him so much."

"Like a boyfriend or like a…brother?" Ann asked, pausing briefly before saying brother.

"Like a bro…botyfriend." Kim said realizing what she almost said. She loved Ron as a boyfriend, didn't she? She was starting to become a little unsure about it as her mother gave her a sad look. She needed to get her mind of this, off everything.

"Kimmie…" Ann started before Kim jumped up.

"I need to go Mom, I need to get my mind of this." Kim said heading for the door.

"How about if I take you out for lunch?" Ann asked.

"Thanks but no Mom." Kim sighed, "I need to just be alone for awhile. I need to think."

"Okay but if you need anything I'm just a call away." Ann said, "I'll be right there for you."

"Thanks mom, love you." Kim said, genuinely thankful for her Mom's offer knowing that the elder woman meant it. No matter what she was doing Ann would always drop it if Kim needed anything at all.

As Kim made her way from the hospital she her mind couldn't help drifting back through the guys she dated and couldn't believe that she could actually count them on one hand and she was going to be a senior in high school in a few short weeks.

First, as she told her mother was Josh Mankey. While she admitted he was cute she couldn't bring herself to like him deeply enough to call it love. And the few times they went out they learned that they just didn't have any chemisty between them and mutually broke it off with no hard feelings toward each other and actually remained friends.

Next was Brick Flagg, the ex-quarter back of Middleton High as he was going to be going to college this year. She shuddered a little thinking about the short time the two went out. There never was anything between the two and still wasn't and ended almost before it started.

Eric was one of the first guys she actually could admit to herself that she really liked. He was very hot and they had so much in common that she was sure she could probably spend the rest of her life with him. The problem was she just couldn't say it, she couldn't say for sure that she loved him. As much as she liked him she didn't really think she loved him but she was robbed of the chance of finding out if it was possible thanks to Drakken as it turned out Eric was just a synthoclone created by the mad scientist.

Shego, Kim really respected the woman with the green tinted skin and it hurt that the woman could pull something so low on Kim. Kim was so outraged, so hurt she had almost wanted to kill the woman. She had told the woman she hated her and for some reason as she said that to Shego it hurt Kim. It hurt to see how badly injured the woman was thanks to Kim as she calmed down as everything that happened finally caught up with her. It sounded like Shego was kept out of the loop for the plan until the very end so why did that matter to Kim and why did it bother the redhead so much? She had went to apologize to Shego but the woman had escaped from jail taking Drakken with her.

The last guy was Ron, the one who had hurt her the most as she felt he betrayed her worse than anyone ever had. Ever since they were little they shared everything and when people picked on the boy it was Kim who came to his rescue. They were like very close siblings but…They were like brother and sister. Was he just kind of like a rebound from the whole Eric thing? Was she the one who btrayed him in a way?

"No!" Kim snapped, trying not to cry. "He betrayed me!"

BEEP BEEP BE BEEP

"What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked after rubbing her eyes making sure they were dry.

"Dementor and strangely Drakken and Shego are robbing a lab in California." Wade said coming on the screen of the kimmunicator she fished from her pocket.

"I'm on it Wade." Kim said.

"Ron there with yo?" Wade asked.

"No and don't contact him." Kim ordered, "I'm going in solo."

"That could be dangerous Kim." Wade said.

"So not the big, Wade." Kim said, "Got me a ride?"

"Yeah, a helicopter is waiting for you at the two blocks north near the park." Wade said.

"You so rock Wade." Kim said turning off the power to Kimmunicator.
