Keep Your Friends Close… by Cabel

'God in his heaven, all is right with the world.' That is how the past couple weeks have been for Kim Possible. Ever since the junior prom, everything else seemed to fall in place. Finals came and went, summer vacation was upon Middleton, and best of all, crime had gone down, leaving the teen hero more time to spend with her new "bf."

However, the duo now has to face perhaps their toughest challenge….

"If only I could get this freakin' tie straight!" Ron said to himself as he struggled with his neck tie in front of the mirror. Rufus was watching from the dresser. He tried to help, but Ron still wasn't a big fan of origami.

"I don't see what it is you're so nervous about." Kim said from a nearby chair. "It's not like our families haven't eaten together before."

"Yeah KP, but its different this time." Ron said as tried again with the tie. "This is the first time all of us have been together since the prom, since…us. Aren't you at least a little nervous?"

"Of course I am," Kim said as she stood up. "It's going to awkward at first, but the important thing is everyone is happy for us, and that's all that matters."

"True. I think dad's already planning our kid's bar mitzvah." Ron said, finally satisfied with his tie, only to notice that his hand had gotten tangled in it somehow, earn a chuckle from Rufus in the process.

Kim leaned against the wall beside Ron. "It's not just dinner, is it Ron?" She said with a concerned voice.

"What do you mean?" Ron said, caught somewhat off guard.

"Something else is bothering you. For the past couple days, you've looked, distracted. Like there's something on your mind."

"Distracted? Why would you think tha…" Ron started before he noticed the look on Kim's face. While her face had taken on a more serious appearance, her eye's said it all. Those beautiful green eyes simply told how she only wanted to be able to comfort the one she cared for.

Ron let out a sigh. "It's just that, I've been thinking about a lot of stuff, KP."

"Such as?"

"Well, you know, everything." Finally freeing his hand, Ron continued. "I mean, we have graduation next year, and college afterwards, plus this saving the world thing, and on top of that, our relationship. I'm just worried whether or not we'll be able to make this all work." Ron cupped Kim's cheek with his hand. "Not to mention it won't be long till every villain on the planet knows about us, and they may try to use it against us. I couldn't forgive myself if…" Kim raised her finger to cut Ron off.

"Ron, we've been together since pre-k, even if it wasn't official, I'm pretty sure we were always a couple as far as the villains were concerned. And if they, or school, or even Bonnie want to start trouble, we'll handle it like we always do, one step at a time." Kim continued as she started working on Ron's tie. " I love you, Ron. And there is no force in the known universe that's going to change that." Kim said as she finished Ron's tie. She then gave it a little tug, pulling Ron into a quick kiss. He could only return her smile.

"I love you too KP." He replied, followed by a soft, "Booyah." They both chuckled as their foreheads pressed together, leaving them to stare into each other's eyes.

Somewhere, in a maximum security prison known to only a select few, a certain green villainess was suddenly feeling nauseous.

"Why am I not surprised! Losers like them deserve each other!" Being in a cell locked off from everyone else, Shego was only allowed so many forms of entertainment, the newspaper among them. So one can imagine how she felt when she found the paper 'graced' by a picture of her nemesis. And it wasn't the normal 'thumbs up' PR shot. The camera had caught the goody-two-shoes and her sidekick in a game of tonsil hockey at the prom! It took Shego every reflex she had to keep herself from vomiting.

She suddenly found herself another form of entertainment as she tore the picture to the best her cuffed hands could, half-expecting, half-wishing blood come from the tears. It would have to do till she could get her hands on the real thing. With her hands cuffed together, her power was neutralized, preventing her from escaping. For now, she can't do anything. Just wait, sooner or later, an opportunity would present itself. And Shego's timing couldn't have been better.

The lights went out, leaving Shego in complete darkness for a moment before the red emergency lights came on. 'Perimeter Breach,' Shego thought. 'But who would be dumb enough to attack this prison.'

She heard an explosion, and it sounded close. 'Someone with firepower apparently.' Another explosion, it was even closer. Shego tried to look out the small window of her cell door to make out anything, nothing. She then placed her ear against the door, trying make out whatever sounds she heard.

'Whoever they are, they're heading this way.' Shego figured. 'About a dozen of them from the sound of it.'

A third explosion, this time from right down the hall! The shockwave almost took Shego off her feet. She still couldn't see anything through the window. That's when she noticed an unusual scent.

'Knockout gas!' She realized as she started gasping for breath. "THUD!" Something knocked into the door, threatening to tear it off it hinges.

'They're here for me!' Shego thought as she backed away from the door, ready to defend herself. "THUD!" She didn't know who they were or what they wanted with her, but her gut instinct said she didn't want to find out. But the gas was already taking effect. With a third "THUD!" the door flew open, but Shego could only make out a silhouette as she finally gave into darkness.

Author's notes:

Okay, first chapter done! I'm sorry if I made anyone diabetic with all the sweetness at the start. I'm a little new to writing romance so bear with me. And don't worry; the Titans are coming, just permit the story to pace itself. One more thing, I'm mainly writing this so I'll have peace of mind with Kim Possible's cancellation. Although it never hurts to sign a petition or two.
