It's safe to say... I own a Lancer Evolution VII, a lancer 1800 turbo, a car rental business and a taxi. But I don't own Kim Possible... that's Disney's job...

"Good morning my RonnieRoo…"
It was always wonderful to greet the light of day… to know that once again, you were alive to see it… the splendor and beauty of life that the Almighty had created. Even more than that, was the feeling of a soul to soul contact that had not been felt for so long. Ron felt as if he could stay frozen in that state forever. The early morning breeze blew her Auburn air about… gently brushing his face. Again that sweet smell of her body caressed his nostrils and danced their way into his mind. And for her… it was the same. She couldn't believe that it was the same man she left. He looked almost nothing as the man she left, yet in her soul he never changed. This was really Ron and cherished every new moment that she now could get…
"You know… even after all these years… it still sounds so weird to hear you call me that…" Ron stated as he turned to face her…
"Hey I had to deal with the KP name for a long time now… this is payback…"
"Yeah… but Ronnie-roo?"
"Hey… are you going to go on about that or are you going to kiss me good mor…"
Her last words were cut off by Ron's lips meeting hers. For both of them, even after several years with no contact, it felt so right. They sat there for a while before they parted lips…
"Wow I should come over this early every day…" Kim said dreamily…
"As we're on that subject… I didn't expect you to be up this early…" Ron pointed out…
"Have you forgot'n where I've just flown from luv…" she returned in a slight English accent
"Ah… time difference… yeah that would suck especially if you slept late…."
"I went to sleep right after I got back home…"
"You're kidding! Well as they say… early to bed, early to rise…"
"You didn't look too bad this morning either…"
"What are you talking about?"
"You jogged past me this morning didn't you?"
"Yeah… I thought everyone was asleep…"
"Nah. I was going to call out to you but I didn't want to wake anyone else… besides, I just decided I'd follow you home…"
"Hmmm… stalker tendencies there… perhaps I should have kept the spare key heh heh heh…"
"Ron..."
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding…. Hey, what say we go have some breakfast?"
"Only if I get to make it with you…"
"Hey hey… chef KP"
"Don't make me change my mind…"
They soon returned to the house, where they made a lovely breakfast… Bacon and eggs… pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice. Kim already knew the cooking prowess that was Ron from the days of high school. But for Ron it was a surprise. He was happy to see that she was able to handle herself so well…
"You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking…" Kim said with a mock glare…
"Oh I was just marveling at the wonderful breakfast we have…"
"You mean the fact that I was able to cook…"
"Uh uh… you said that all by yourself…"
"But you were thinking it…"
"Hey I'm just proud of you. What's so wrong with that?
"Nothing… I just wanted to gloat!"
"Kim Possible actually gloating… hmmm, well this is new…"
"Just eat your breakfast Stoppable…"
"Yes… mom."
"HEY!"
Again as they shared breakfast, memories of the old days filled their minds… of how Ron would make his way to the Possibles to have breakfast with his best friend and enjoy the legendary pancakes her mom made…
"You know Ron… that's something that always surprised me… how the heck did your mom allow you to come over all the time? I almost thought you didn't have parents…" Kim said grinning…
"What can I say… your mom's pancakes were the bomb… a lot like these…" Ron retorted as he pointed out Kim's pancakes…
She turned a slight shade of red… Ron saying her pancakes was as good as her mom's? That was a history making event. The finished their meal and decided to relax a little while watching the news.
But something would catch Ron's eye…
"Investigators are still trying to ascertain the disappearance of one of four Jade Monkey statues, which was stolen from a museum in Australia two weeks ago. Reports indicate that the individual was caught on camera, however no trace of this person or the statue has been found. The Jade statues were once thought to be a symbol of power to some throughout Asia and many in South America. They were once taken by Montgomery Fiske… better known in the criminal world as Monkeyfist, however, they were destroyed in an ensuing battle. The remnants were reassembled and donated to museums in China, England, the United States and Australia. The curator of the museum said that it was strange that it was only the statue they had taken, as there were many other items on display of more value. Investigations are continuing…"
After Monkey Fist was lost to the path of the yono, the statues had been rejoined as best as possible and sent to the various museums around the world. Middleton would be one of them. The fact that they were destroyed meant that there was no way for them to be powered up again. However, why would anyone wish to steal it? This was the question that faced Ron as he sat on the sofa…
"Something doesn't make sense… Why the statue?" he said while deep in thought…
"Well it wasn't exactly the main attraction… it probably was the easiest thing to steal…" Kim responded
"Yeah but the only reason I could see someone stealing it is if they knew the significance it once held…"
"Well it is Jade after all… on the black market it could fetch a nice price…"
"But enough to go through all the trouble of breaking into the museum?"
"Ok well you got me there. Who knows what goes through the mind of thieves…."
"Yeah I suppose you're right. But something about it doesn't make any sense…"
Just as they made that statement, a familiar sound filled the room. Ron then took the remote lying next to him and with it, a small picture in picture screen appeared, with a familiar person in it…
"Yo, Wade my man… what's up?"
"Nothing much…Oh, hey Kim… hope I wasn't interrupting you guys…" Wade stated a little embarrassed…
"No big… good to see you again…"
"Same here. Hey Ron, I just thought I'd tell you, there's some stock on the rise for a diamond mining company… I just thought that it would be a good idea to invest a bit in it…"
"Are you sure? How's it been on the NYSE?"
"Pretty good. They have increasingly better quarter average profits in the last two years…"
"Ok well I suppose its fine. Hope we don't dig a hole with it…"
"Hey, it's me here… I can clear that with ten fingers behind my back…"
"But then you won't be able to type, Wade… Kim pointed out...
"I got keyboards behind me too you know…" He boasted…
Kim and Ron both rolled their eyes before snickering a little…
"Do your thing Wade. By the way, do we have anything on the to-do list?"
"Yep… a morning appointment with Ms. Betty Ohe… that's about it."
"Betty Ohe… again? What's wrong now?"
"She only said there was a small problem in the network she needed to have cleared up."
(Sigh) Well we gotta pay the bills right? One more thing. Could you get any info on the guy who stole the Jade monkey remains today?"
"You mean the ones from Monkey fist? Sure. But why?"
"I dunno… I just find it strange…"
"Monkey Fist strange?"
"No, but strange nonetheless…"
"Sure, I'll get on it… I'll keep in touch."
"As usual Wade, you rock… in THX."
"Always man. Take it easy Kim…"
"Sure thing Wade."
Wade faded from the screen. Kim turned to face Ron once again… with a little frown that was more then pronounced to Ron…
"Really Ron… don't you think you're going a little overboard with this whole statue thing?"
"I'm sorry Kim, I just don't know why it's bugging me so…"
Kim realized he was becoming fixated on this one puzzle and realized he was becoming more and more serious… she had to ease the tension a little… somehow... and she had a good source to do it...
"So… what's the deal with this Betty Ohe?"
"Well she's got a small home business that we help do consultations and networking, but she's utterly miserable… Wade thinks she likes me…"
Those latter words cause all but a little frown to grow on Kim's face…
"Hmph… maybe I have to play your assistant tomorrow…."
"Wait a minute… don't tell me you're getting jealous…"
"Oh what makes you think that?"
"I dunno… the frown? The folded arms?"
"Well maybe I am…"
"She's just a client Kim… and a good client as well. Stop reading so much into it…"
"Only because I trust you. Anyway, I gotta admit… you sure have made a way for yourself…"
"As I told you before… I had to. Couldn't let you come back here and see me like some sort of bum…"
"You know I wouldn't have allowed that… I'd have taken care of you…" Kim said, while nuzzling back up to him…
"Your dad would have had a fit…"
"Hey speaking of dads, when are you going to take me to see Rufus?"
"Actually, we can head over there now. Everyone should be up and about…"
"Alright then… let's go."
At least it worked. He seemed to have taken his mind off of the statue sitch… or so she thought. As they drove, Kim was so excited to see one of the most important members of Team Possible. The little mole rat that saved them both so many times from danger… not to mention seal their own personal deal as a couple. Not to mention Hana… she must have grown much since she last saw her. What should she be now… eight? …huh? …
"Hello… earth to Ronald…" Kim said sternly, bringing Ron out from his thoughts…
"Huh? Oh… sorry…"
"What's with you? Why can't you just let it go?"
"I've got a bad feeling about that robbery. It just doesn't make any sense…"
"It's just one statue Ron… and as you said before… they're broken and can't be used again."
"I know, but my instincts are telling me different…"
"Alright, then we call Wade and start a mission with no real leads… doesn't make sense. Take your advice and stop reading so much into it…"
Ron knew that Kim was right. It would make no sense to rush into thinking something that possibly may not be. Perhaps he was overreacting… perhaps he was just being paranoid. But he hadn't felt this paranoid since Kim and the Lowardians. Perhaps that was it. Perhaps it was just jitters of having her back and wanting to show her how much he improved, even in crime fighting, that he overreacted.
"Ok you're right. Maybe I'm getting to deep into this… I'll lay off it."
"That's what I wanted to hear" Kim said joyfully as she touched his cheek.
She sat there through the drive, now admiring Ron once again for all he was worth. He really wasn't goofy and clumsy as once before. He was a man. And that man she would hope one day to be married to. As they reached the Stoppable home and approached the door, it suddenly flew wide open to reveal two individuals lunging at them… one a young girl so eager to see him… and the other a little naked mole rat… just as eager. Ron almost lost balance as they jumped onto him, but he was quick on his feet.
"Hi!" Rufus blared before looking over his shoulder…
"KPPPPPP" without a single thought, he jumped onto Kim… nuzzling her cheek. The reunion was so wonderful for him… like old times.
"Ronnie! I missed you!" Hana said to her adopted brother..."
"Already? I saw you day before yesterday…" He was quick to point out…
"Still too long..." Hana retaliated…
"Hana… do you remember Kim?"
"Kim?"
The little girl looked puzzled. She had not seen Kim in seven years. But she definitely took to her. She shook Kim's hand and smiled…
"It is nice to meet you…"
"Wow Hana… you've grown so much since I last saw you…" Kim marveled
"Hee hee, I'm a big girl!"
"Yes you are…"
As Ron looked over to his girlfriend, he gestured her to go inside. As she did, she was greeted by his parents…
"Why Kim… it's so good to see you again… we've missed you so much" Mrs. Stoppable proclaimed
"Yes my dear, it's good to have you back. How are you enjoying your first full day back?" Ron's dad questioned…
"Oh it's great. There are so many things I haven't seen… so many people I haven't visited. But strangely enough, I'm just glad to come back home and find Ron."
"I know dear. You were all he spoke about when you left. He was so sad and frustrated to be all alone…"
"Mom….." Ron said embarrassed…
"But son, you were. And you made a promise to become better for her… and you did. You should be proud of him Kim…" Mr. Stoppable proclaimed…
"I am… I really am. I didn't expect to come back to all of this…"
"Oh he said he'd wait the eternity and then if that ran out, he'd find the fountain of youth to wait for you…"
"MOM!"
All the adults laughed, except for Ron, who was just too embarrassed. Just then, bunch of squeaks came from the Kitchen area…
"Oh that's right… Kim I'd like you to meet the new members of the family… This is Jenny. And these are their kids…" Ron's mother stated with adoration…
"Oh they're adorable…" Kim said
There were four little ones. Hana named them all…
"This one's named Joe… and he's named Mark. The other two are girls… that one's named Jessica and the other one is named Sue..."
"Aww that's all beautiful names… did you name them yourself?" Kim asked
"Yeah, but Big brother helped. I love him so much… do you love him?"
That question brought everyone's eyes to Kim, who now felt a little embarrassed herself…
"Of course… with all my heart."
At this point confusion ran through the little girl's mind… she then turned to Ron.
"Brother, what happened to the girl named KP? You always talked about KP. I liked her, but her name is Kim. She seems to be nice too, but I just like KP…"
Everyone laughed at the point…
"Hey kiddo… Kim is KP…" Ron stated… still laughing.
"Really?" Sorry KP..."
"It's alright… I like you too."
It was a joyous occasion… to reunite with old friends and family… but all too soon, it would be cut short. Once again that beep Ron came to know so well came emanating from his watch. Simultaneously, Kim's wrist kimmunicator started beeping…
"Go Wade…" They both said in unison. Both looked at each other before Kim grinned and yelled…
"Jinx! You owe me a soda"
"You just couldn't help it could you …"
"Do you know how long I've wanted to say that?
"Um guys… situation here…" Wade had to bring them back to the sitch at hand…
"Right… What's the sitch?"
"It looks as if another one of the statues has been stolen from England… same situation. Someone came in and took it, then as the officers trailed them, they disappeared…"
"But who would want the statues… they won't be able to be used again…" Kim duly noted…
"Perhaps someone who knew their power… or what they once had…"
At this point Ron looked at Kim in a serious enough view for her to realize he was now in 'business' mode… an expression she came to know from her own…
"Well if that's the case, then we know they'll strike one of the other two targets… here and the one in China… the question is… which one will be first?"
"I think we should gauge on China…" Ron stated. This puzzled both Kim and Wade…
"China? What makes you think they'll attack there first?"
"Well think of it this way… Global Justice is here… and now so is Kim Possible. They'll either have to have someone really good, stupid or be an inside job for them to try here. China would be by far the easier one to hit…"
"So… I'm guessing next stop is China?" Wade asked.
"Flight for two Wade…" Kim intervened.
Though inappropriate, Wade just had a big smile on his face. He couldn't help but smile to the fact that once again, Team Possible was going to work together after a seven year absence…
"Great. Transport will be ready in half hour…"
Wade signed out. Ron viewed Kim with a slight worry on his face. She now realized that maybe there as more to what Ron was telling her, or it was his powers directing his judgment. Whatever the case, they would know soon enough…
"Sorry mom… dad, but duty calls…" Ron stated as he prepared to move…
"We'll see you later…" Kim also stated…
Just then, a little voice squeaked that he was coming too. Rufus began to run for his friend's arm, but just then a large shriek caused everyone to look back. It was Jenny… arms folded and tapping her feet… looking at Rufus angrily. Then she pointed out to the little ones lying there. He wasn't going anywhere. And he hung his head…
"Hey buddy, don't worry about it. We'll have a next mission. Besides, you're a daddy now… you got responsibilities…" Ron said while he picked up a still dejected Rufus…
"Don't worry Rufus, I'll make sure he brings you all a Grande size bunch of nacos…" Kim said to him smiling…
And that did it. Rufus gleamed such a bright smile and gave a victorious thumbs up. At least he was ok with it… but there wasn't time to dwell on that… there was a mission to be done. The couple jumped into the car and headed back to Ron's house…
"Ron, wait… I gotta get my mission clothes…"
"Don't worry about that… I got some things you might like…"
"And you say I have stalker tendencies…"
