Author's notes: My dialogues look weak, please give me some advises on what could I do to strengthen them. Also I got a bit too much into describing later on in the story and I am sorry about that. Minor dramatic moments to be expected.

We all know how the official story ended: Ron was able to utilize his strength properly, defeating the greatest threat humanity has ever faced; he an Kim graduated, both still in love with each other; similar relationship was hinted between Shego and Drakken. And they lived happily ever after, end of story. Not. Now we are not bound to the single line of action, the story now lives by itself expanding into limitless possibilities!
Let us explore one of them...
Possibilities: Self-esteem
"Shego! I've finally done it!" Dr. Drakken's loud yell made Shego flinch, as she was starting to nod off hearing nothing but the constant silent murmur from the Drakken's side for the past few hours.
"So you finally managed to file all the tax papers?" she replied with a frown.
"What? No, though remind me to do that later,"he answered nervously. His expression changed to that of a great excitement. "No! I've finally found Kim Possible's greatest strength! While looking for the parts of my new Nanoquazimultiinjector Gun on eBay I stumbled upon some old reports from Global Justice being on sale. And guess what I found?" Shego kept looking at him in silence, not uttering a single word. "Shego, this is where you say 'What?' " said supervillain with irritation.
"What?" followed a bored reply.
"Kim Possible's greatest strength is him!" exclaimed Dr. Drakken as he pointed at the screen where the "Ron factor" report was displayed. "According to this super secret information, it is thanks to him, that Kim Possible was always able to successfully thwart my genius plans."
She sighed. "Or they weren't as genius as you think. Didn't we regard him as her weakness before?"
"Shego, secret documents from eBay can't lie!" replied Drakken with the utmost assurance.
"Well there does seem to be some truth in this information – after all no matter how you look at it, it was him, who defeated the Warhok and Warmonga. And he was better than you in the role of a villain as well. So what's the great plan?"
"Take him out of course."
"Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen. You didn't see what this boy can do. I am not fighting him."
If Drakken didn't know Shego better, he'd say that the expression on her face was almost scared. He raised his eyebrow in amazement, but then continued. "Well, that's the beauty of my plan, Shego! We won't have to fight him, instead we will make him feel so useless and bad, that he will decide to leave Kim Possible on his own." And the anti-hero burst out in a maniacal laughter.
Two months later in a different place:
"Hiiiyah! Kyah! Ayayayah! Hnnnnnnnnghyaaah!" Ron's battle yells echoed through his house late at night. "Monkey Power Punch! Monkey Power Kick! Monkey Power... thump!" Ron found himself laying face flat on the floor after attempting to do a flip. "Rufus, I just can't do it. It doesn't come out at all. I don't even remember how I did it before to begin with." He let out a long audible sigh. "Wasn't I supposed to learn how to control my Mystical Monkey Power after that last fight?"
Rufus squeaked with a pity to show his affection towards his friend.
Meanwhile Ron continued: "I mean wasn't I all like 'kapoom, flip, kick, punch, two-handed air punch, megathrow,' floating and all that stuff? Why can't I pull any of this now?"
Rufus shrugged and uttered a high-pitched "Dunno."
"Maybe it was just a one time thing, and I won't be able to pull something like this again without Sensei's help? Maybe..." Ron kept muttering to himself, looking obviously down.
Rufus emitted a squeaky sigh, remembering that this same situation kept on going for the past two months every time Kim had to leave Ron's side.
"Ron, dear, we are back from the movies." Heard Ron his mother's voice from the front door.
"Yuck, who would go and watch such an old and boring movie," he thought to himself. "And even take a little kid with them, when she should be long sleeping."
"It looks like there is some mail for you from a college."
That phrase made Ron's heart jump and start racing faster – after all Kim was already accepted in several very prestigious colleges, while he was left to his devices in that matter. He rushed down to take a look at the letter as quick as he could. Tearing the letter open, he quickly skimmed through it till his eyes met the oh so desired line: "your application has been accepted". The very same moment the loud cry: "Booyah" escaped his lungs. As it was too late to wake Kim up, he decided to tell her the news on the morning of the very next day.
"Kimmie, wake up, dear, and come down. It looks like Ron has some great news he wants to tell you." said Dr. Ann Possible knocking on the Kim's door early in the morning.
Only five minutes later Kim was already downstairs in her summer attire.
"So, Ron, whats the big news?" she asked with an obvious interest.
"Kim! I got accepted to the same university as you did! To the MIT!" Ron's voice was overflowing with excitement.
Rufus looked out of Ron's pocket and started clapping his paws acknowledging the feat.
Suddenly Ron felt that everyone's surprised and incredulous gazes were pointed at him. Even twins synchronously raised their eyebrows.
"Errrm... Ron, I don't know how to say it, but, dear, are you entirely sure about that?" Kim said carefully as she tried her best to not make her boyfriend upset. "Not everyone could even think of getting in there."
"Well, that's me, the Great Star of Middleton High football team, we are talking about!" said Ron proudly. "Of course Middleton Institute of Technology would crave me to join their team."
"Aha-aha," added Rufus to the statement.
"But Ron, there is no such college in the Middleton," said Mr. Possible gazing on the Ron upon his newspaper. "The only one there is, is MIST, from which I graduated. And it is Middleton Institute of Science and Technology."
"Look Mr. Possible, here it is, in the booklet. It was built two months ago by the rich benefactor," Ron replied while showing the colorful book with huge letter MIT across it. "And also, didn't Kim get accepted there as well?"
"Oh Ron, I hate to break it to you dear, but Kimmie got into a different MIT, the very different one," Mrs. Possible said, trying to make it sound as soothing as possible. However it still looked like the news crushed Ron completely – his expression went from ecstatic to morbid. Rufus almost fell out of the pocket with the emotion of distrust painting his little face.
Looking at her boyfriend, Kim didn't have the heart to put the final nail in the coffin and tell him that exactly the same situation has already happened before, when Dr. Drakken was scheming one of his evil plans under the disguise of the university.
Instead she sighed to her thoughts and said with a cheerful voice: "Well Ron, lets take a look at your new school, I think it may be not bad at all."
Ron barely nodded in agreement and let out a long sad sigh.
"Mom, Dad, we'll go take look at Ron's new university, I'll be back home later," noted her parents Kim as she walked Ron to the door.
"Kimmie, be careful and come back before night," called her father towards the already closing door.
"Come on, Ron, say something. You've been silent all this time," said Kim as she stopped her Sloth at another traffic light. "I know, you didn't expect that those would be different universities, but I am sure you will be fine there."
"But Kim, I wanted to be there with you." Ron let out another sigh.
"Ron, you know I love you," the girl replied, planting a kiss on her boyfriends cheek as she continued driving. "And this fact won't change no matter how much distance there will be between us. After all, we could see each other every weekend and every time we go on missions."
Kim kept trying to reassure him as much as she could, finally making Ron a bit more cheerful, right as they arrived to the supposed location of the Middleton Institute of Technology so far on the outskirts of the city, that the city itself could not be seen anymore.
What they saw exceeded all their expectations.
Immerse parking lots were the first thing any visitor noted. Spanning across what seemed like the millions of square feet they provided enough space for the thousands of cars. Wisely located around the territory of campus, those lots seemed to provide quick and easy access for the car owners to every building. Paved roads connected every location on campus to others in a smart and efficient way. Even specific sideways for the cyclists were designated. Beautiful trees and flowers were placed in the open areas, creating the atmosphere of a well-maintained park, further enhanced by the chimes of the birds singing and occasional bright flashes of squirrels running around. The buildings were made of what looked like marble and granite, standing tall and proud in their perfect mixture of warm and cold colors. Spectacular carvings were unfolding on their walls and statues were holding the portico roofs above every door. Magnificent bridges, which looked almost ethereal with their elegant balustrades, were connecting different floors between the buildings. The overall feeling of peace and tranquility engulfed the place, making every visitor stand in ave admiring the scenery in front of their eyes.
And to the great amazement of the pair, there weren't one or two people around. It looked as if people from the whole world came to study in this institute. Everywhere they could see groups of people led by the tour guides describing the place and the history of its creation.
"Ron, this... is... incredible!" Kim barely found any words to express her feelings, so astonished she was by what she saw. "We must get the tour around this place!"
Ron kept standing speechless, his mind completely blank, as his jaw kept sliding down.
"...n! ...oooon! ...eloo! ...on!" A strong kiss from his girlfriend returned Ron, who was in the seventh heaven, back to earth due to being much more pleasant. When they separated after a few sweet moments, Kim repeated again: "Ron, lets go get a tour around the place, since you were admitted here anyway."
Without a second thought her boyfriend agreed, and they followed the signs to the Admissions building, which looked more like some ancient European museum. The service inside was as fantastic as the place looked. Despite numerous people being in there, they didn't have to wait at all before the personal assistant came to help them. Learning, that Ron was already admitted, he quickly helped the guy with his paperwork and dispatched a guide to give him and his girlfriend an all around tour.
First the teenagers learned, that the place was built using the newest technologies in the synthesis of the matter, allowing to make it so beautiful in such a short time. Virtually everything there, excluding the living things, was created almost overnight following the design that was made by the sponsor's team.
"Sorry to interrupt, but who sponsored this construction? After all, it doesn't look like it would be profitable to make such a large and beautiful university in an average city like ours," asked Kim with the intentions of finding whether it actually was one of the Dr. Drakken's twisted plans.
The guide smiled and even chuckled a bit. "That is the question that almost every visitor asks. After all I was amazed myself when I heard about it the first time. Let me tell you about this, while we walk to our first destination. According to our dear sponsor Mr. Diego, he had a dream of building something like this for many decades, however he had no means to do so even with his vast budget. And thus the designs he made through the years of hard work kept collecting dust. However just recently he got his hands on the information that in the Middleton Space Center a way to create matter with almost no losses was invented. After prolonged and tiring discussions, the Space Center and the Government agreed to provide him with the device for one night, in which he managed to raise all those beautiful buildings in one night. By the way we have arrived to our first destination: this is the statue of Mr. Diego Sivil"
The statue pictured him with the amazing detail as old, but not yet withered with years. He stood on the pedestal tall and straight, legs on the shoulder length, with his hands placed on the cane standing right in front of him. He wore the formal costume and the cape, making him emanate the feeling of the nobility. Another remarkable trait of his were the hair and the beard which reached his hips in length and yet again despite his age looked very thick and quite cherished.
Interestingly enough, Kim felt, that it wasn't the first time she saw that man, even though the girl was completely confident it was her first time hearing such a name.
I am very tired at the moment, as it appears its much harder to write fanfiction than i thought. So this story is to be continued after this minor cliffhanger. Supposedly the whole thing will be at least 4 times the size of this part.
