Not the End of the World.
Prologue.
Drakken's Lair, just outside of Middleton, Colorado…
Two figures were standing watching a wall of LCD screens. One, a blue skinned man in a black and blue suit was watching intently, while the other, a beautiful woman with pale green skin, wearing a green and black outfit, waited for her orders.
"My plans are all coming to fruition, my dear. Now it's only a matter of time." "Yeah, but what about her? She isn't going to lay down for you, Boss. I know." "Don't worry. By the time she realizes what I've done, it will be too late." "That's been said before, Boss."
The Boss turned toward the woman with a grin on his face and replied "But not by me."
The Boss walked away toward his lab, as the woman followed. They entered his lab, and using a remote that he had in his pocket, he switched on another row of LCD screens, but these had different scenes. He looked with satisfaction at the screens, and said, "Yes, I think I've narrowed it down to two or three possibilities."
"I know I'm just the hench man here, Boss, but is it a good idea to be thinking about your 'experiments' when we're so close to implementing your plan?" "Are you questioning my actions?" "Oh no, Boss. I just think we need to keep our eyes on the prize. You know?"
The Boss suddenly grabbed the woman by the hair, and forced her face close to his. "You know, that sounds exactly like you are questioning my actions. I fear you are forgetting your place, my dear," with that, the Boss forced the woman's face to his and kissed her hard on the mouth. As he finished, the woman looked at him with fear in her eyes and whispered "No, you know I love you. Please forgive me." The Boss moved his hand down her neck, and stopped when he felt the tiny device that was attached there. "Yes, I know you love me. But I fear I have been a little too… easy on you. But I'll remedy that this evening."
The Boss released the woman, and said, "You have your orders. Please carry them out. And remember, be discrete."
She turned to leave, when the Boss said, "And when you return this evening, please come to my private room. Understood?" The woman's mouth suddenly felt dry as she replied, "Yes Boss."
"Yes," the Boss said as the woman left the room. "Two or three possibilities…"
Chapter 1 - We've all got are own funny moods…
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Kim Possible!" Agent Wilma Johnson of Global Justice's PR division introduced the world famous Crime Fighter Kim Possible to the press conference. It was two days after Dr Drakken's most diabolical scheme, The Little Diablo's mission as it had become known. "Now we will only be taking a limited number of questions, so please keep them brief."
Kim Possible walked up to the podium and the reporters all stood up and started yelling "Ms Possible, Ms Possible!"
Kim looked over the audience and pointed to one of reporter, "Yes Steve?"
Ron Stoppable leaned against a wall off to the side of the press conference and yawned. He hated this part of the whole teen hero business. This was one time that he was glad that no-one ever remembered his name. He looked out over the press conference as the questions were fired at Kim. "Man, I don't know she does it", Ron thought shaking his head.
"Ok, people that's enough for today, thank you for coming", Agent Johnson began…
"Hold it please!" interrupted Kim. "I have something I need to say."
"Ron!" Ron looked up and looked around with a puzzled looked on his face. "Ron, come up here!" Kim was waving her arms at Ron. Ron walked slowly up to the podium where Kim was standing. "Come on, Ron!" Kim took his hand as they both faced the crowd of reporters.
"I would like to introduce someone without whom I could not do this important work that I do. If it wasn't for this man, I could not have defeated Dr Drakken. He is my best friend and my partner, Ron Stoppable."
Ron stood facing the crowd with an embarrassed look on his face, as he rubbed the back of his neck. The audience of reporters applauded politely as he waved weakly. "Uh, thank you…"
"Ms Possible! Are the rumors true about you two having a more than 'professional relationship'?"
Kim smiled and grabbed a surprised Ron and pulled his face down to hers, and gave him a deep kiss. All around them flash bulbs went off and cries of "Whoooo…" emanated from the crowd.
After several seconds, Kim and Ron separated. Ron wrapped his arm around Kim's waist and Kim said "I hope that answers your question."
"Good Night everybody, thanks for coming, drive safely," Ron said as he and Kim walked away from the podium.
As the reporters were leaving, they could hear a loud "BooYah!"
Middleton Lake in the summer time. Two teenagers were sitting on a blanket, holding hands, and gazing at each other. Suddenly, a sound broke the silence.
"Burrrp!"
"Rufus!"
"Ooh sowwy."
Ron gave his mole rat buddy the evil eye. "Thanks for spoiling the mood, Ruf."
Kim laughed, and hugged Ron. Ron turns his face toward her and gave her a gentle kiss and smiled at her.
Ron and Kim were on a picnic. Ron had cooked up a feast of chicken and pasta, and Kim had complemented Ron on his mad culinary skills. They had spent the rest of the time just talking and holding hands. And kissing. It was one month after the Junior Prom, and they were celebrating their one month anniversary. They had taken a one month vacation from the hero biz, to have some time for their new relationship, but this was coming to an end.
As night was falling, Ron and Kim were lying back on the blanket snuggled together, and looking at the sky as the stars started slowly appearing.
"Did you make a wish, Ronnie?" Kim asked. "I've got nothing to wish for, KP." Ron said with a smile on his face. He said to Kim, "How about you?"
"Just that this will last forever," Kim said and blushed. "Hey corny much?"
Ron laughed. He leaned over and started giving little kisses to Kim's neck and shoulders. She was wearing a two piece bathing suit, but she had put on some shorts. Ron was wearing a bathing suit and a tank top. Ron's lips moved over to Kim's lips and they kissed…
Finally Kim said, "I guess we should be getting home, hmm?" Ron stroked her hair. "I guess so. I don't want to be sent to a black hole by your dad." Kim laughs. "I'm sure he wouldn't really send you to a black hole Ron." "Maybe, but why take the chance? We've only been going out for a month."
"Oh so how long do we have to be going out before you're willing to risk a black hole for me?" Kim asked with a pout. Ron said with a serious face, "KP, I was willing to risk a black hole when we were in Pre-K." He put his face down to hers and kissed her.
Kim wrapped her arms around Ron, and returned the kiss with interest. Then she said, "I wish you had told me sooner." "Me too."
Kim stood up, and as she did Ron reached into the bottom of the picnic basket he had brought. He pulled out a small box.
"Kim, I know that we have only been dating for a month, but I decided to get you something." He opened the box, and pulled out a tiny silver locket on a chain. He opened the locket to show her a tiny picture of the two of them as they were leaving for the prom, Ron dressed in his dad's blue tuxedo, and Kim in the black dress that was burned on the bottom in the Diablo mission. Kim's mom had given him a copy that he had shrunk down on his computer.
"Can I put this on you?" Kim nodded and turned her back to him as he stood up and placed the chain around neck. Kim took it in her hand and looked at it.
"Ron it's beautiful. Thank you very much." Kim said as her eyes welled up with tears. "Kim, you're beautiful. Yeah, I know, corny much."
Kim reached into her own bag. "I don't have anything as romantic for you, Ronnie." Kim said with a smile, as she wiped the tears from her eyes.. "But I had Wade make this for you." With that, Kim pulled out a new kind of Kimmunicator. It was similar to hers except that it was newer looking, more stream lined. It was also in black with blue highlights rather than turquoise color of her old one. "I think it's about time my partner got himself a Ronacator!"
"Badical! But I hate that name, KP. This should be a Kimmunicator, just like yours." Ron said. "Are you sure, Ron? It just seemed to be a natural name selection…" "Nah, it kinda sounds stupid. Kimmunicator just rolls off the tongue. Hey let's boot this bad boy up!" Ron pressed the on button. Instantly, the screen lit up with a stylized RS + KP in a heart logo.
"Wade!" Kim cried blushing.
"Ha ha ha!" Wade's face popped up on the tiny screen. "I'm sorry guys. I was just playing you. Here you go" The screen cleared, and a new logo, a stylized RS, similar to the KP on Kim's communication device. "Booyah!" said Ron. "Totally cool, Wade! You rock, as usual."
"Look at my new one, Ronnie." Kim pulled out a new communicator of her own. This was similar to Ron's but was black with red highlights. "Wow that is totally awesome, KP. We match. So are these new thingys any different than the old thingys?" Ron asked.
"Duh, Ron! They are totally tricked out with the latest technology available, and some that's not available yet." "That's right, Ronnie. We need to go over all the new functions so you will be prepared for our missions." "Oooh I was afraid of that." Ron said sadly. "Common, potential boy. We can go over some stuff on the way home. Nite Wade!"
A few days later…
"Next on Good Day, Middleton, Ken Dorfman on the news of a 'Possible' engagement. Ken."
"Thanks, Susie. GossipToday magazine reports that teen hero Kim Possible and her partner Ron Stoppable have gotten engaged. They say they will have pictures published in Monday's newsstand edition of their secret rendezvous at Middleton Lake where Ron Stoppable popped the question. The pictures can also be found at the GossipToday website. Both teens are only seventeen years old. Their parents could not be reached for comment. We wish them well."
Dr. James Possible was angry. "I am calling the lab right now and getting that rocket ready and then pow, zoom, Ronald is off to the black hole!"
Dr. Ann Possible was upset as well, although not as upset as her husband. "James, calm down! I'm upset too. I'm sure that we can talk some sense to them as soon as they get home." "They're only 17. What could Kim be thinking?"
Just then, Ron and Kim entered the house. "Hey Mom, we're back from the mall."
"Kimberly Ann Possible, you have some explaining to do…"
"Wow, what did you do to tweak your dad?" Ron wondered. "You better come in too, Ronald." " Err, I think I hear my mother calling…" "Come on, Ron. I think we better go see what they want."
They walked into the kitchen. "Hi parental units. What's up?"
Mr. Dr. Possible came up nose to nose to Ron. "Ronald Dean Stoppable! What do you mean by asking my daughter to marry you! She is only 17 years old. Ronald, I thought I could trust you, but now…" "Dear, hold on. Let them get a word in edgewise." Mrs. Possible turned to the teens and said "I know you to think you're in love and that getting engaged is the next step, but you are both too young…"
"Wait Wait hold up a minute!" Ron shouted. "Where did you get the idea that we were engaged?"
"It's been all over the news, and it was in today's paper." James Possible said.
Kim looked down at the paper that was lying on the table.
"Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable Engaged." The heading screamed. Underneath was a grainy picture of two people that might have been Ron and Kim. "Ronnie, look at this."
Kim and Ron read the story, they're eyebrows rising higher on they're heads. As they got to the end of the story, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"We don't see anything funny about getting engaged…" Mrs. Dr. P began "…And when you're only 17!" Mr. Dr. P finished.
"Mom, Dad we are not engaged! I don't know where this came from, but we haven't even thought about that yet."
"What about that picture!"
Ron was studying the picture. "I think I know what this is about, KP. If you look carefully at this photo, I think you can make out the outline of me giving you a small box."
"An engagement ring!"
"No, Dad! I was the locket that Ron gave me for our monthaversity. See?" Kim pulled out the locket from under her shirt.
"Oh, yes. Remember dear, she showed it to us that night." "Hmm. I seem to remember that. So you're sure that you aren't engaged?"
"Dad, we are no where near that yet. So shhh." She added in an exaggerated whisper, "Do you want to scare him off?"
They all laughed, except Ron who looked a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, Dad, I'll put in a call to GJ's PR department and get this straightened out. They owe me a favor." "Or ten!" Ron added.
"Common ex-fiance, let's see if Pals is on", Kim said as she dragged Ron to the family room.
As Kim entered the room she grabbed the remote and switched on the TV. Ron sat down with a frown on his face and crossed his arms. Kim looked at him and said "What's wrong, Ronnie?" Ron looked at her. "You've never thought about it?" It took her a moment to get what Ron was asking. She jumped on him and kissed him on the lips. "Doy! Of course, silly. But I'm not going to tell them that."
Ron grinned. "Whew! I was worried there for a minute. I was already thinking up names for the kids."
Kim smiled and blushed. "I have Ann, James, and Ronald, Jr." "I was thinking Kimberly Ann, James and John." "Well, I guess we'll have to have 4 kids then," Kim laughed. Ron kissed Kim and said "I love you, Kim." "I love you, too."
Suddenly, "Ooh Kootie alert, Kootie alert!"
"TWEEBS!"
"Whoops! Gotta go!" Jim and Tim ran out of the room.
One month later…
The world famous crime fighting/world saving Team Possible were on their way home from their latest mission. It had not gone well.
"... and I just wish you would not treat me like some damsel in distress that you need to save! I am the leader of this team, Ron!" Kim yelled at Ron.
Ron just sat on his seat and hung his head. Kim had been yelling at him since they had left Prof Dementors lair. Although they had foiled the Prof's scheme, he had gotten away, thanks to Ron.
"I don't need you to push me out of the way of some imagined danger and then you fall on top of me and I can't believe you pulled my pants down too and I have to untangle myself from you and this is the 4th time since the Diablo mission that the bad guy got away! It's freaking embarrassing!"
With that, Kim jumped out of her seat and headed for the front of the GJ transport. "And can you get some suspenders for those stupid pants of yours!" she yelled over her shoulder as she stalked away.
Ron slumped even lower in his chair and thought to himself, "Hey I wonder if anyone heard that..." Rufus (the incredible naked mole rat) crawled out from the pants pocket he had been hiding and raced up to Ron's shoulder and hugged him around his head. What he could reach, anyway. "Ooh sorry", he squeaked.
"Whoa, dude! I guess your girlfriend just tore you a new one", Bill Coe, one of GJ agents said as he slipped into the seat next to Ron. "Yeah, ya think?" Ron grumbled back. Coe was one of the many agents that Kim and Ron had gotten to know in their time working with GJ.
"Hey Dude, I'm just playing with you", Bill replied, softly fisting him on the shoulder and handing him a soda. "I think she's being kind of harsh, myself. I mean, she could at least wait until you get home before she lists ALL your faults".
"Man, I deserve it after this mission. And the 3 before this one." Ron said as he opened the soda. "Well, as may be, dude. But I've been married for 10 years and my wife never..." Bill began.
But Ron had tuned him out as his thoughts went back over the last two months.
After the Diablo's mission it had seemed that everything was finally going well for Ron. He and Kim had followed the Prom with a series of dates that solidified there status as Middletons hot young couple.
And their professional lives seemed to be going great as well. Ron remembered the press conference after Diablo mission. She had made a special point to call Ron up to front of the stage that GJ had set up and had introduced him as "My Partner, Ron Stoppable", and gave him a kiss that blew the back of his skull off. The picture had made the cover of Famous People magazine.
They had had a month of mission free time together. Everything was going great. Then they got a call from Wade.
The first mission just happened to be a routine breaking and entering call that probably could have been handled by police, except that it happened to be Motor Ed doing the B and E. He had been after some new part for his monster truck, as usual.
"Yo Red, long time no see, seriously", Motor Ed called out to Kim as she dropped softly to the ground.
"Hey Mullet head. Don't forget about the Ron Man! Seriously", Ron quipped. Ron was lowering himself to the ground as he was saying this and didn't notice that he had gotten his grappling line tangled until he realized he was hanging upside down. As he was trying to untangle himself from his line, his pants fell down. And then, his hand slipped from his grappling gun and he fell right on Kim.
"HA HA HA HA" burst out of Motor Ed and his gang. "Hey Ron Man, that was a smooth move. Seriously!".
Luckily, Global Justice arrived just then to gather up ME and his gang, who were laughing so hard that they couldn't resist. Kim had actually laughed herself afterward saying that it was a great addition to there arsenal of crime, better than laughing gas.
But the next mission was not quite as funny. For Ron had decided to suddenly become the Big Strong Boyfriend. While trying to keep an eye on Kim, he tripped over a tangle of cables and landed on the self-destruct button for the anti-protoplaster mechanizer ray, which they were actually trying to save. The resulting explosion allowed Professor Mentos to escape. The cost of anti-protoplaster mechanizer ray also caused a multi-million dollar hole in GJ's budget that they weren't too happy about. Luckily, since Kim had done so much for GJ over the years that they were willing to overlook this minor disaster.
Kim had words with Ron afterwards, but had cooled off enough when she got home that she actually apologized to Ron when they got home. Which only made Ron feel worse.
Mission 3 started okay, but soon also turned to crap. Ron had now started the habit of hovering over Kim, trying to protect her (as the big strong boyfriend). This of course started things to go even worse.
But this last mission really tore it. Kim did not like to get laughed at, and due to circumstances beyond his control, Ron had ended up not only having his pants fall around his ankles, he accidentally pulled Kim's pants down around her ankles. And unlike Ron, Kim was not wearing a funny pair of boxers. While Kim tried to recover her dignity, Prof Dementor got clean away. Kim's face was the deepest shade of red Ron had ever seen.
Ron began wondering if his promotion from sidekick/best friend to partner/boyfriend was actually a good thing.
"…and you could have knocked me over with a feather when she told me", Coe roared as he finished his story. Ron laughed also even though he had heard none of it.
"Anyway, Stoppable, you need to stand up for yourself! So you made a mistake! We all do! Even Miss High and Mighty", Bill continued, pointing forward at the front of the plane. "She didn't have to humiliate you in front of God and everybody!" "Huh!" Ron grunted under his breath. Bill got up and patted Ron on his shoulder, "Dude, everyone deserves some dignity, even you". Bill walked away toward the back of the plane.
"He's right!" Ron thought angrily to himself. "I'm willing to admit that I have screwed up royally these last few missions, but I haven't done it on purpose and I have tried to apologize. If we are partners now and this not just so much talk we should be able to discuss this as reasonable adults and get things going right again".
"Well now maybe she is the one that will have to apologize to me this time." Ron thought sourly to himself. He then thought, "Well it was nice to have a girlfriend for a while anyway." With that he slunk down even lower in his seat, drank his soda and stared out the window.
"Hey Stoppable", Bill Coe was leaning on the back of the seat in front of Ron, trying to get his attention again. Ron looked up at him. "I was just wondering why you do this stuff?" Coe asked. Ron replied "What do you mean?" "Well you just don't seem the type that's all." "What!"
"Hey don't get me wrong. I admire your perseverance in the face of ineptitude", Coe said, "But you have to admit that you aren't exactly in Possible's league". "I do all right," Ron replied.
Coe was silent for a moment. Then he said "You DO know that GJ has offered your girlfriend a job, right?" "What?" "I guess you didn't know…" "Oh, yeah I uh knew", Ron stammered. "I just didn't know that it was general knowledge."
"Well I don't know how general it is. I just heard on the grapevine that it was going down that way. I also heard that they were only asking her." Ron said nothing.
"Ron I just wanted you to know that I think you got a raw deal. I mean even if they didn't offer you a job as a full agent, they could have offered you something." Ron licked his lips and said slowly, "Well, thanks for that, but you know, as you said I'm not in Kim's league."
He then turned his head and looked out the window again. "I can't believe Kim never said anything" he thought sadly to himself.
Kim Possible sat in her seat in the cockpit of the GJ transport. The pilot Ace and GJ Agent Will Du were sitting in the cockpit also.
Kim mood had shifted from anger to frustration to embarrassment to sadness as she thought of how the day was going.
"I can't believe I talked that way to Ron." She thought. "I treated him like I don't know what. I don't think I've ever screamed at anyone like that before. And he's supposed to be my boyfriend."
"I guess what they say about red-heads is true, eh, Du", Ace said softly. Agent Du just smiled to himself and said nothing. "What did you say?" Kim said in a low dangerous voice.
Agent Du decided he better say something as he was not cleared to fly this aircraft. "Never mind that," he said. "Possible, I'd like to ask you a question if you don't mind." Kim turned her gaze to Du.
"I'm just wondering how long you're going to insist on taking Stoppable along on your missions?" Will asked. "Ron is my partner, Will. That means as long as I go on missions, he's coming." "Kim, I think you know that after you graduate from high school, Global Justice wants you to join up. I've discussed this with Dr Director, and I don't think that offer will be extended to Ron."
Kim stood up and said, "Well if that's the case I guess I won't be joining, then Huh!" She turned and was about to walk out when Will Du said, "Kim, wait! Please let me finish." Kim stood with her back towards Will and seemed to hesitate. "Kim, please sit down."
Kim sat with her arms crossed as Agent Du started again. "Kim, I know you are very fond of Ron. Heck I respect the fact that he's willing to follow you anywhere and do what he can to help you. I just don't think that in the long run, he is the kind of partner you'll want to have when the going gets dangerous."
"Ron and I do all right. We've saved GJ's bacon often enough," Kim said in a smug tone. "That's true, Kim. But be honest. Some of that has been through sheer luck." "Yeah, that's what the bad guys say after we beat them. Come on Will, when you've won as often as we have, I hope to think that there's some skill involved."
"Kim all I am saying is that I don't want to be invited to a funeral." Kim looked at him with disgust, "So not the drama, Will. I'm Kim Possible. I can do anything". "But what about RON, Kim? Can he do anything?"
Kim blinked. "Ron can still be your boyfriend Kim. I just think that if you going to continue as an Agent for GJ, you need to have a partner who is an asset and not a liability." "Well, Ron still has the Mystical Monkey power. Don't forget that." Kim said. "Kim, how can you rely on that? He's said himself that it comes and goes. Has he done anything to remedy that? Tried to get some extra training? Hell forget the MMP, has he asked YOU for any extra training? Just because you have a press conference saying he is now your partner rather than your sidekick doesn't mean that this is magically going to happen." "Shut up," Kim said in a small quiet voice.
"Kim, all I'm saying is that you should have Ron's interests in mind as well as your own. There are plenty of agents in GJ that would jump at the chance to be your partner, and…" "When I need a new partner, GJ will be the first to know", Kim said angrily. She got up and opened the door to the cockpit. "Now if you'll excuse me…"
"Hold up a minute, Possible, we're just descending for your drop off," Ace said as she was about to leave. "All right, I'll get ready," Kim said as she left the cockpit.
As she walked toward the rear of the craft, she looked around. "Where's Ron?" she called over the wind of the open jump door. "He already jumped," Bill yelled back.
"WHAT?" "I said, 'He's already jumped! Hey, weren't we going to land?"
Kim looked out of the jump door and looked out to see Ron as he fell out of the sky toward the ground. She quickly put her chute on and jumped out the aircraft.
Kim flew down toward Ron. As Ron was always terrified of free fall and mostly just shut his eyes and counted to 10, she was able to use her free fall skills to catch up to him.
"RON I'M SORRY!" she screamed at him. He just looked at her. They fell in silence as they waited to pull their chute cords.
They pulled their cords and eventually landed near Kim's house. They gathered up their respective chutes and put them back into the bags.
Kim dropped the case and ran to Ron and wrapped her arms around him saying "Oh Ron I am so sorry I was such a bitch to you and you know I was just mad about the mission and I took it out on you and you know I love…" Ron pulled her arms from around him without looking at her and said, "Fine, look I'm tired and I just want to go home." Kim was so shocked at Ron's reaction that she just gaped as he headed for his house down the street.
Ron walked as quickly as he could toward his own home. He resisted the urge to take off running as he was that upset. "I am NOT going to run!" he said to himself.
"Ron? Ron! Ron please… Can't we talk about this... "
Ron stopped and swung around to face Kim. "What's there to discuss? My girlfriend thinks I'm an idiot? Well I guess I agree with that. I was just hoping to keep that between ourselves."
"Ron you are not an idiot. I am the idiot for treating you so badly. I would do anything to take back what I said and…" "Save it Kim. I am not in the mood for your lame apologies". Ron turned and started walking toward his home again. Kim walked after him. "Come on Ron. We need to talk about this. If our relationship is going to succeed, we need to be forgiving and…"
Ron whirled around again and said in a loud whisper, "Our relationship. Kim, a relationship needs to also be about honesty and trust." Kim stopped and with a puzzled look on her face said "What are you talking about?" "Kim, when were you going to tell me about GJ offering you a job?" "What! How did you find…" Kim began.
"Then they have offered you a job. Were you going to tell me? Or were you waiting to tell me as you were leaving for their headquarters. 'Oh by the way Ron, I won't be needing you anymore, I've got a better offer.'"
Kim looked at him and said "Ron, I can't believe you could think that about me. Don't you know I could never do that to you? I love you, Ron. I know I screwed up today. But can't you find it in your heart to forgive me? I swear to you that I have NOT been offered a job with GJ. Will Du did tell me that they are planning on offering me a job. I told him that we are package deal. If they want me, they will have to take you. Because we are partners. And I hope that means for life."
Ron thought for a moment and said, "Kim, what if joining GJ is what's best for you? You know as well as I do that I am not as good as you are. I'm the buffoon, the distraction, the clown. These last few missions have made me realize that I've been lucky. You can't make a partner out of a sidekick, which is what I am."
Kim lowered her head and said nothing for a moment. She then lifted her head and Ron saw that tears were starting to form in her eyes and she said "Ron, if I can't go on missions with you then I will quit right now."
Ron thought to himself, "The little fool doesn't realize that she's better off without me."
"Oh crap!" Ron said softly. "What Ron?"
He nodded his head toward the Possible residence. "Oh snap!" Kim said.
Ever since the Diablo mission, the tabloid press had camped around the Possible home in various numbers. It made it hard on the relationship.
As they walked toward the house, the press shouted out questions:
"Is this the end of Team Possible?"
"Are you breaking up?"
"Is there another party involved?"
"Great," Ron whispered, "They heard."
Kim pulled his head down to her and kissed him hard. Then she took his hand as they headed into the Possible residence.
When they got to the Possible home, Kim insisted that Ron stay for dinner. He really didn't want to, but he finally let himself be talked into it.
Rufus was sitting at the table in the dining room with a satisfied look on his face. It was pizza night and he had almost finished a large cheese pizza by himself. Ron smiled as he watched his buddy enjoy himself. But he didn't feel that hungry himself, and didn't eat any pizza.
"Ron, are you feeling alright?" Mrs. Possible asked. "Oh, I'm ok, I just have a little indigestion. Luckily we have Rufus here to take up the slack." Ron replied. "Oh yes we are certainly lucky to have him all right," Mrs. Possible said with a smile.
Ron got up and said, "You know, I think Rufus and I need to be getting back home." Kim looked at him in surprise and said, "I thought we could watch some TV tonight and relax." "You know KP, that sounds great, but I'm kind of tired tonight, so can I take a rain check?"
"Well Ronald, if that's the case then that's probably for the best. Do you need any Pepto for the road?" Mrs Possible asked.
Ron shook his head and headed for the door. Kim followed him to the door.
As he stepped outside, Kim hugged him from behind and said "Ron, are we okay?" He turned around and said "Oh sure KP. I just feel kind of drained tonight" "I'll see you tomorrow, right?" "Right. Goodnight." Kim watched as Ron walked toward his house.
"We're not ok…" she said to herself sadly.
Next: Why were you holding her hand?
