Chapter 1

When It Rains It Pours

Ron looked out the window of the passenger plane as the clouds went by in the light of a rising sun. His eyes still ached from all the tears he had shed in the past 48 hours. As he stared out the window he thought back on the events.

-Flashback-

Ron sat in his seat with his head down staring at his food, lost and confused. "Ron, please say something" said the fiery redhead sitting across the table from him with concern in her voice. He looked up at his best friend and apparently now his ex-girlfriend with sorrow in his eyes, he could see it in hers too.

Kim had just done perhaps the hardest thing she has ever had to do, break up with her best friend. When things had settled down after the Little Diablo incident Kim realized that she didn't like Ron in the way she thought.

She was just hurt and on the rebound. So what did she do? She latched onto the first guy she saw, this guy happened to be her best friend. Sure she did love him and care for him, but only in a family kind of way. Still she would do anything for him.

"I...I don't know what to say" he finally spoke. Kim could feel the hurt in his voice. Reaching across the table she grabbed his hand "Look Ron, I do love you..." she was cut off by Ron with his voice cracking in pain "Then why are you doing this?!".

Kim sighed, she knew this wasn't going to be easy and has been dreading this moment ever since she realized how she truly felt.

"Ron this isn't easy for me but I have to do this before it gets out of hand. I do love you, truly I do, and you will always be my best friend but I have to be honest. I do not love you in a boyfriend kind of way" she could see his heart shattering with every word leaving her lips. But she had to press on. "You're like the brother I never had and after the whole Eric thing...I was just on the rebound and… Look Ron I'm sorry. I really am. Can we just go back to being best friends?"

Ron looked back down at his hand that was still in Kim's grasp and slowly pulled his hand away. He stood up from their usual booth at Bueno Nacho. Kim just stared up at him feeling like she was the biggest 'bitch' ever. Even bigger of a bitch than Bonnie.

Trying his hardest not to cry Ron looked over at Kim. He could see she was hurting too, but not as bad as he was. "I…I need to go" and he as he started walking out. Kim jumped up from her seat grabbing Ron's arm "Ron…". The blonde pulled his arm free. "Look KP… I just need sometime alone…I'll see you around" and with that he walked out the doors of Bueno Nacho. Little did Kim know this would be the last time she would see him for a while.

-Hours later-

Ron laid in his bed staring at the wall but seeing nothing as he was lost in his thoughts. His heart ached and was filled with dread. The sun was now rising and started to peak through the cracks in his blinds. When he got home last night he went straight up to his room without a word to his parents and collapsed on his bed.

"Why would she do this little buddy?" Ron spoke to his tiny naked pink friend who sat next to him patting his head. "Hnk, no good" the mole rat said trying to make his, in a sense dad, feel better.

Ron started to roll over in his bed when he saw a blue light starting to appear in his room. A very distinct voice could be heard in the distance and slowly getting louder. "Stoppable-san"

"Master sensei?" Ron said as he sat up in his bed.

The blue light was now taking the form of the short old Japanese man. He spoke again "Stoppable-san". Ron immediately jumped out of his bed and bowed to his sensei who in turn bowed back.

As he finished his bow Ron stared at his sensei "Master sensei! What are you doing here?" he spoke in confusion.

"It has come to my attention that you are feeling great pain and confusion" the older man spoke as he looked upon the young man in front of him. "How do you know that?" Ron asked while scratching his head and with a very confused look on his face.

The older man laughed "You and I are more connected than you know young Stoppable-san. I can feel your pain and confusion". Ron rubbed his hand on the back of his head as he sat down on his bed looking down at the floor of his room. "Oh…sorry Master". "Do not be sorry young one for you have nothing to be sorry for".

Ron looked up at his sensei with a small smile on his face. "Stoppable-san I believe I can help you through this pain that haunts you".

"Help me? How?" he replied with another one of his confused faces.

"I believe it is time for you to return to Yamanouchi. Here you will finish your training and your heart healed" Master Sensei said with his arms opened in front of him in a welcoming manner. "It is my understanding that you have just finished a school year and summer is starting. Come to Yamanouchi young Stoppable-san"

Ron looked at the astral projection of his sensei with a bit of shock. "Come to Yamanouchi? Are you sure sensei?". The man just nodded "We can have you on a plane to Japan in two hours if you wish".

Ron rubbed the back of his neck trying to decide if he should take the offer or not. After a few minutes he came to his conclusion "Okay. I'll come back to Yamanouchi for the summer" he said as he stood.

The older man smiled "We are looking forward to your presence chosen one" and with that his astral projection disappeared.

Ron sighed and looked over at Rufus who stood on Ron's bed "Rufus, I hope I'm making the right choice" the little mole rat shrugged his little shoulders and climbed onto his friends' shoulder.

"Come on, let's get everything ready."

-Hours later with Kim-

"Girl you gotta go check on him and try to smooth things over." Monique said into her phone.

"I know I know, believe me" Kim said as she laid on her bed, still feeling terrible about the other day at Bueno Nacho.

"Monique, do you think I did the right thing breaking up with Ron?"

"Of course you did! Look Kim, you had to tell him the truth now before things go to serious. I'm sure our boy Ron will understand" Monique said trying her best to reassure her best friend.

"Yeah you are right. I'm going to go by his house and check on him" Kim said as she got off her bed "I'll call you later Mon." "Good luck girl, you're going to need it" and with that they hung up and Kim prepared herself.

-Ron's house -

Kim walked up to Ron's front door and sighed. She still felt like a total bitch for yesterday but she had to make sure Ron was okay, after all this was her best friend. She smiled as she thought about the memories of the times they spent together.

Reaching up she rung the door bell, she felt indifferent about just walking in like normal considering the events that have recently taken place.

The door to the home open to reveal a teary eyed Michelle Stoppable. "Mrs. Stoppable! What's wrong?" Kim immediately said as she stepped forward to comfort the older woman.

All Ron's mom could do was cry as she collapsed to her knees on the floor. With a shaky hand she brought up an envelope and handed it to Kim.

Kim looked at the envelope with confusion. Hesitant to take it at first she slowly reached out and took the parchment from Ron's mother. All that was written on it was 'Kim'. When she saw her name she felt a knot in her stomach form. She opened the letter and read it.

"Kim.

I'm sorry to be doing this over a letter but I just couldn't tell you in person. I am leaving Middleton for a while. Don't worry I'll be fine and I will be back before senior year starts. I just need to do something and some thinking. Again I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I have removed Wade's tracker so please don't try to find me. I'll be back, I promise.

- Ron"

Kim's heart sunk and tears started to form in her eyes. She got up from Mrs. Stoppable and ran up to Ron's room repeating to herself as she ran "No no no no no no no no" until she reached his room.

The door was wide open, his bed made, the closet empty and his dresser drawers open and empty as well. The letter fell from her hands as she dropped to her knees and began to cry.

"What did I do?" she said to herself as she sat on the floor of Ron's room crying.
