Man and Wife Sort of Chapter 1, a kim possible fanfic

Man and Wife (Sort Of)

This story takes place right after the events of So the Drama, approximately a week after. So this takes place a little before the summer between junior and senior year. It will be safe to say I'll be largely ignoring the events of season 4 mostly but not completely. This story will probably be a long one, I'm aiming for a real love story with the characters growing but also staying true to themselves. Pleased be patient with my updating as I'm trying to get this story out of my head and finally written. This is my first story and I will be very appreciative of any reviews, negative or positive.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kim possible in any shape or form.

Chapter 1 – Breakups are hard to do

Kimberly Anne Possible was in a real sitch, the worst kind actually. It all started right after she came home from the dance. After Ron walked her home, her parents asked to have a little talk with her.

Heading to the kitchen table and sitting down, Kim couldn't help but feel a little cornered.

"Kimmycub your mother and I have been talking and we have to talk about your world saving uhm hobby," Started Dr. James T. Possible. "We are very proud of what you've accomplished but after tonight we have to seriously think about what's really important."

"Dad, I don't understand," Kim replied.

"What your father means Kim is that with all of the things you do, you may not have time to be a normal girl." Mrs. Anne Possible chimed in.

"But mom I'm head of the cheerleading squad, editor for the yearbook, among a half dozen other things in addition to…," Exclaimed Kim.

Mrs. Possible cut her off saying, "And how many times have you been unable to participate in those activities when you were out saving the world?"

Thinking back to how many meetings, functions not to mention all the parties she missed out on, Kim had to admit her parents had a point but she couldn't give up without a fight.

"Well….yeah but, but I…" stammered Kim.

"Kim your father and I would like you to stop going out on missions until after you graduate high school. We think you're missing out on too many things a girl your age should be looking forward to."

"You want me to give up missions?" Seeing both of her parents nodding their heads in unison Kim let out a sigh and hung her head in defeat.

"Well at least Ron should be happy at least. We'll have more time to hang out this summer," Seeing her parents exchanged a look Kim started to get a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Won't we?"

Her Father slipped his hand over hers. "About Ronald….."

Today was a great day in the life of Ronald Stoppable. First he got a call this morning from the headquarters of Bueno Nacho confirming his summer job with them and plus the second call was from his bon-diggity girlfriend who asked to meet him at Bueno Nacho.

Ahhhh Bueno Nacho, is there any better place in the world, thought Ron wistfully. Not usually given to philosophical thoughts he did believe Bueno Nacho brought out the best in him. And soon he'll be working with the company! Ron literally couldn't wait until he gave Kim the news. He even left Rufus home so when he told Kim it would be just the two of them. Today sure was a good day!

Spying Kim, he still couldn't believe they were dating, walk in he waved to get her attention as their regular booth was occupied. After she sat down though, he immediately noticed she'd been crying. Concerned he grabbed her hand. When she pulled her hand away his concerned skyrocketed.

"Ron we need to talk…." Kim tearfully began, "About our relationship."

Ron was bewildered, well he was always somewhat bewildered, but this time he truly had no idea what was the matter.

"Sure KP. We can talk about anything, anything except math." Ron joked weakly.

"Ron I know some…. things happened at the dance last week but after talking with my parents. It was decided that missions are off limits for a while, probably forever."

"Well I can't say I'm disappointed, we both know skydiving was never my thing."Ron replied, chuckling, and then he suddenly brightened.

"Kim this'll give us plenty of time to hang out this summer!" Seeing the unexpected flow of tears, he suddenly wasn't so sure.

"Ron my parents think that we only got together because I was on the rebound after Drakken created Eric to mess with my mind and honestly after sitting down and thinking about it… I think so too." Kim said. "We can't be together anymore."

Ron couldn't believe what he was hearing "What?! I mean I know it was soon after we found out he tricked you but I know we can make it work." exclaimed Ron. "Why would your parents say that now when we've hung out for all these years?"

"My parents just feel we're moving too fast," Kim took a deep breath "and that I'm not ready for something like this so soon and Ron this will sound a lot worse than it is but my dad thinks you've not good enough for me."

For the first time in his life Ron Stoppable was completely at a loss for words. While he himself privately never thought he was good enough for Kim it still hurt a lot to think that a man he considered a second father didn't think he was either.

Finally Ron found the words to speak, "Why would he think that? I'd never hurt you or anything. Heck, I've even risked my life for you!"

"He said you're immature, you blow all the money you get on Nacos and you don't really focus on anything. You haven't applied to any colleges and what have you done all your royalty checks? You just threw them away on junk. Ron when my dad said these things I couldn't argue with him. Even Mom thought so as well. (Even Mrs. Dr P sadly thought Ron) Really Ron it's a miracle you've never been held back a grade!"

"Ron they also think we shouldn't even see each other as friends for a while. All this summer the family is going to spend time at my uncle's ranch and with Grandma Possible in Florida."

"Well yeah but I can change! I'll get a job and, and, and I'll try harder in school!" pleaded Ron.

"I'm sorry Ron but I… I just can't."

Unable to continue Kim got up and rushed out the restaurant.

Ron was speechless. Unable to formulate a response he simply sat there. He knew he cared about Kim, at least he thought he did….didn't he? I mean of course it was only after she started hanging out with Eric that he found himself interested romantically in her but it wouldn't make any less real right? He was still trying to convince himself when the restaurant closed and he had to go home.

Walking down the street (his scooter was destroyed in the little Diablo incident) Ron's mind was going in a thousand different directions at a million miles per second. Why? Why now would the fact he was kind of a slacker come up with her parents? He knew they bore him no ill will but he just couldn't see why Kim's mom and dad would suddenly believe he wasn't good enough for her. It just didn't make sense, at least not to him.

'But really, do you think a loser like yourself could ever be worthy of her or any girl for that matter?' stated a nagging little voice in his head.

'You'd be lucky to be a janitor at Smarty Mart,' continued the voice.

'That's not true,' Ron thought back. 'I've got mad skills!'

'Like what, playing video games, goofing off or maybe…playing the distraction?' said the voice cruelly.

'Face it, once a loser always a loser!'

Shaking his head violently at the inner voice Ron mentally shouted, 'No that's not true! I am not a loser! When me and Drakken switched I was a whole better villain than he ever was! Even Kim needed me for her missions so that proves…'

'Absolutely nothing,' laughed the voice. 'How much of your so called evil genius was Drakken's and how much was strictly your own? And do you really think that Kim, as in anything is, Possible really needed you at all? How many times did she need to save you? How many times would the world have been saved sooner if you hadn't been there to mess up?'

Not willing to concede the voice had a point Ron argued back, 'Then why did she stick up for me all those times?'

'Maybe as a hero it's her job to stick up for the weak? Ever thought of that?' countered the voice.

Unable to respond Ron simply kept silent and mercifully, the voice did as well.

Ron was so deep into his thoughts he didn't notice that he was already in front of his house. So preoccupied was he that he also didn't notice that his parents station wagon was packed with suitcases. Walking up to the door Ron was surprised when the door suddenly flew open and a suitcase came hurtling out. Ducking quickly and deftly leaping over a second, Ron landed on both feet lightly.

'Whew, at least I learned something at Yamanochi' he thought. 'But why are suitcases flying out of my house?' Luckily he didn't have to wait too long for an answer.

Standing in the doorway Eugene Stoppable addressed his son. "Oh Ron you're finally home, your mother and I have some wonderful news!" he exclaimed.

'Finally some good news, maybe it'll take my mind off this thing with Kim for a while' Ron said to himself.

Joined by Mrs. Stoppable, she and Mr. Stoppable simultaneously exclaimed "We're moving!"
