Now, here's it's continuation of my story entitled...

*drum_roll*

You're The Best Thing I Never Knew I Needed
2. Chapter I: "The Moodulator and it's Aftermath"

"RRRRIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGG!" his clock alarmed.

Ron drowsily sat up on his messy bed. He tried to open his eyes but the sunlight was so bright that he was momentarily blinded. He then covered his closed eyes and muttered to himself, "I thought the storm's not over until tomorrow? That's what said in the news, right? Damn. My eyes hurt."

He rubbed is eyes and opened it. The clock showed it was 9:00 AM. As he stared around his abode, he realized he hadn't seen Rufus this morning.

"Rufus! Where are you 'ole buddy?" Ron shouted.

He stood up and walk around his room. His place was a complete mess. It was worse than it's state last night. The window he stared at that night is now shattered. Leaves and twigs were at the floor and small puddles of water formed from the leaking roof.

"Rufus! Where are you? Yoo-hoo!" Ron said.

He was looking inside the drawers when Rufus leap to his leg and started climbing. Ron's very ticklish as he laugh uncontrollably.

"Haha- Hey- Haha!" Ron said laughing.

After a minute of tickling, Rufus finally got out of his shirt and stood on top of his right shoulder. He carried Rufus up to his palm and said "Good morning buddy!"

"Good morning." Rufus smiled.

"Let me change my clothes and we'll have breakfast. Hm. I'm feeling like I'll make French Toast, Chez Ron style!" Ron proudly stated.

"Yeyy!" Rufus answered.

He then jumped out of his hand and ran down the stairs. Ron, in the other hand, took some clean clothes. He still has a set of red hockey shirts and his cargo pants. He then went downstairs and prepared their breakfast.

Before sitting on the chair, he reach to their phone and there was a voice message received. He then played it in their answering machine and said:

"Ronnie, honey, it's your mom. How are you doing there? I'm sorry but we can't come home yet. Maybe by Monday we'll be home. Your dad still has some meetings and seminars to attend to. Keep safe there son, ok? We love you Ron." Jean Stoppable, his mother, called.

"Yeah right. More like having fun there in Europe while I'm stuck in a storm for two days." Ron angrily thought.

He finished his plate silently. After they were done, Rufus put their plates in the dishwasher. Meanwhile, Ron went straight to the storage room to pick up a broom and trash bags. He then thought that he would clean his room first.

He tidied up his bed and put the shattered glass inside the trash bag. He swept the floor and cleaned those puddles. He worked for almost half an hour and his room is now sparkling free.

"Phew! This is the first time I actually cleaned my room. This is so not The Ron."Ron wearily beamed. He's proud of himself that he actually worked.

"If anyone saw what I've been doing, they'd be flabbergasted." Ron smilingly thought.

Ron looked smugly around when he noticed his closet.

"Oh man! I forgot about those clothes. Better put them in the laundromat." Ron said.

He walked closer to the closet. And as he slightly opened it's door, clothes suddenly sprang out. It looked like a clothes avalanche coming from the closet. He was really submerged from the sea of used shirts and undergarments.

As he get out of the mess, he shouted, "WHAT THE F-!"

Rufus scrambled to go upstairs to see what happened. As he reaches the door, he was shocked to see a mountain of clothes with Ron on top.

"Guess I'm the first to climbed Mt. Forgotten-Laundry, eh?" Ron sheepishly said to the mole rat.

Rufus just glared at him.

"All right! All right! I will clean this up. Promise." Ron said in defeat.

The naked mole rat went down as Ron started picking up the mess. He separated whites from colored shirts. As he was sorting out those, he then pulled out one garment. It was green and bulging. The surface was rough on the outside but foamy in the inside. It is his pickle costume.

"Pickle costume. Pickle. Hmm... Coacher Dilly!" Ron gasped in his mind.

He then remembers everything that happened in association with that suit. This costume bear witness to what happened on that fateful day. It is the day where it all started, what happened, and it's effect to what he's feeling today. All of his hurt and pain came from this part of his life. He has now a mix of extreme emotions ravaging inside him.

"Oh how I REALLY hated that day to volunteer as Coacher Dilly!" Ron muttered to himself

(Flashback: Middleton Fair Festival)

"So I- I guess the whole crushing and everything was moodulator huh?" Ron asked sadly.

"Why am I sad about it? You wanted to break up with her because you can't afford to destroy your friendship. I now know the feelings she shared was because of some machine Dr. Bortel created. I should be happy about that. But why do I sound sad? Is it..." Ron wandered in his mind.

"Not everything. There's still fireworks." Kim answered smiling, breaking Ron off from his train of thoughts.

Ron was caught off guard from her answer. He didn't expect those words to come from her mouth.

"What does she mean from 'there's still fireworks'?" He asked confusedly to himself.

"Y-You think so?" Ron shyly croaked.

And as if on cue, Kim pointed to the sky showing the fireworks display started. Flashes from the pyrotechnic show radiates all over Middleton. Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable just stood there, amazed on the sight they were seeing. And unconsciously, they were holding hands. They stayed that way for the whole show.

For Ron, however, it only made his confusion worse. He felt something different this time. They've hold hands like many times in the past but for the blonde teen, there's something special about it. His mind is now battered again by thinking.

"What am I feeling? Is it possible that I, Ronald Dean Stoppable, is falling in love with his best friend, Kimberly Anne Possible? What the Heck. Maybe I'm just over thinking all of these. Yes, maybe I am." Ron's mind thought.

"Uhm. Kim? KP... My hand?" Ron called softly.

"W-W-What? Oh! Sorry." Kim answered in a shock. She blushed from the thought that she's holding her best friend's hand all that time. She given back his hand.

He smiled nervously and said "KP, Uhm. Well it's time to take you home. Uhm. Yeah. I-I'll take you home. Let's go."

She hopped on his scooter and Ron took her home. Along the way, the teens were lost in their minds. Ron was still contemplating on what the hell is going on with his mind about her. He is still problematic on what to do with his new found feeling.

"You've been thinking this a lot today but can't get the answer eh, Stoppable?"

"I'll get to the bottom of this. But right now, I would enjoy this time with her. After all it's our DATE."

"And why do you think you are extremely enjoying yourself as Kim holds your hand?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm overreacting."

"Nope, you said it yourself that you have something inside. There's no overreacting there. Look, you have unlocked something deeper inside. You may not know it but it's been there a long time ago. You've only noticed it now."

"W-What am I talking about?!"

"You know yourself. You think you only look at her as a friend when you ALWAYS sense something bad when Kim and Josh are hanging out together? You think it's just friendship that make you feel down when some boy fancies her? Do you think that..."

"ROOOOON!"

"ROOOON!" Kim yelled.

He suddenly stopped the scooter and looked at Kim. He almost jerked out from his clash waging inside his brain. He stared at those big green orbs that has it's special sparkle that can make him forget what he was thinking about.

"W-W-W-W-What?..." Ron stammered.

"Ron, you missed my house!: Kim answered.

"O-Oh! Sorry about that KP." He responded.

He turned his scooter around and headed to the Possible residence. After they dismount from the vehicle, they stood in front of the door. There was a minute of awkward silence. Then Ron broke it and said:

"Uhm. Well, it was quite a day for us, huh? Hmm... I'd better get going. Uhm.. Yeah. Goodnight KP" Ron nervously said.

"Oh. Sure. Thanks Ron. Goodnight to you too." Kim said while inside their house.

He was halfway from the porch when Kim suddenly called him.

"Ron!"

"Yeah?"

"About what happened this day, I hope that wouldn't destroy our friendship."

"That? No big. Best friends as always, right?"

"Right. Well, Goodnight again Ron."

"Goodnight to you too KP."

She then closed the door and headed to her room. Ron stood for a few moments then silently said:

"Kim... I... I... I L... I Lo..."

"Oh what the heck! You can't even say to yourself that you love her then you want to say it to her directly?!"

"Wait what? You wanted to say that you LOVE her?!"

"Uhm... Well... Uhm... I DON'T KNOW OKAY?! I should be going home now."

He then walked to his scooter and drive it to his home. It has been a loooooong day for him. He's unsure on what really happened to himself. He was so out of his zone today. And for the first time, he was thinking about it the whole day. After he got home, he changed his clothes to his slumber pajamas and went to bed. He's too tired, both physically and mentally. And today, he seeks refuge in the world of sleep. Maybe tomorrow, he may find his answer. But for this moment. He needed his Zzz's.

(End of Flashback)

Ron was still staring at his pickle costume when he heard shouting to him down.

"Hey Ron! Where are you?" Felix yelled.

"Felix! The Ron man's busy cleaning his room. Wait for me to go down there" Ron shouted back.

"WHAAAAAAT?! You've got to be kidding me! You? Clean? Are you sick?" Felix flabbergasted.

"Ha ha ha. No kidding. The Ron's been changing for the best, at least." Ron gleefully answered. He was about to go down the stairs carrying a basket full of clothes. He put them inside the laundromat. He then walked near his best buddy and said.

"So, how's the storm treating ya'?" Ron asked.

"Well, It's been rough but it's alright. Hey Ron, wanna shoot some hoops outside? It's the first time the sun shines for the past two days. " Felix asked, spinning a ball on his thumb.

Ron playfully snatch the ball and said, "Sure, looks like the storms wearing you down. You're going down!"

"Fat chance" Felix rolled his wheelchair and chase Ron outside. It was really good to be outside. The sun is shining bright and you can now see people outside. For Ron, this can be his good chance to forget those harsh memories he had reminisced. So not the Drama.
