Chapter 2

She rushed home as quickly as she could after bolting through Ron's front door. She held the package tightly in her arm, sprinting over water hoses in the street and wandering squirrels.

Running through her front door after she'd managed to find her keys, she called to see if anyone was home yet. She got no answer. That was surprising, considering that her brothers usually got to the house before she did. Where was everyone?

But she didn't have time to worry about that now. She got upstairs to her bedroom and closed the door.

Kim sat on her bed with the gift by her side. It tantalized her with its bright red bow, and its glowing blue paper. She knew that if she didn't open it soon, she was going to be sick from anticipation. It's a good thing the Tweebs weren't home yet, or else they'd just be teasing her, making this all the more a pain in the neck.

"D'oh, Kim!" she said, "Stop being so ridiculous. It's probably not even that special of a gift. Ron probably found some I'm With Stupid shirts for us to wear on the Senior field trip. Yeah, that may be all."

She stood up began to pace around her room, nervously babbling to herself. Even she knew that she was just stalling.

"I mean, Ron isn't exactly the best gift-getter. He's pretty cheap, actually. But still, he is very sincere. And he seemed so proud of himself just now; I could tell that he'd put a lot of thought into this. And it has to be something important if he wrapped it up like this..."

Kim jumped back down on the bed and slapped her hands over her eyes. "Pull it together..." she mumbled to herself.

She peeked to the box at her right, and then rolled over onto her stomach. She placed one hand on the bow, and the other on the blue wrapping paper, as if listening for a heartbeat. She slid her hand into the folds of the red ribbon, and then lightly tugged on it. It was so soft and smooth that she could have sworn that she was holding satin between her fingers. The delicate fabric untied and she slid the rest off. She tentatively took her other hand and lifted the box up ever so slightly as not to see what was inside.

"Okay, the moment of truth." She told herself.

She pulled the box cover off and threw it halfway across the bedroom in an instant. Then she looked into the box and gasped.

Mrs. Possible parked the car in the garage and got out, shutting the door behind her. Using the key she had just pulled from the ignition, she opened the trunk and pushed past useless bags, reaching for one box. She pulled it out carefully as not to damage it's contents. She knew very well what lay inside.

She shut the trunk and held the box in one arm as she attempted to unlock the front door of her house. As soon as she stepped inside, she dropped her purse and car keys on the sofa, racing to get upstairs with the package.

Wait until Kim sees what Ron just had me pick up for her, she imagined with a smile of glee plastered across her face.

He was such a good boy, Mrs. Possible thought. Kim was lucky to have someone as caring and naive as he was. Sure, Ron wasn't the brightest tool in the shed, but that didn't seem to matter to anyone. He was a good kid, and he was good for Kim. At least she knew that he wouldn't try anything on his daughter. They were such a perfect match for each other; just like her and James.

She sighed at the nostalgia.

She called out to her daughter, "Kim!" to see if she had come home yet. The only reply was a giggle of utter delight from the teen's attic-home. After climbing the stairs Dr. Possible opened the door to Kim's room to see her daughter in a state of absolute glee.

She was holding a sleeveless white dress with a miniature train on the back and a V-neck cut, and the right side was embroidered with pink pearls in a wind shaped swirl that extended to the bottom hem. Kim couldn't believe that Ron had fit it all into one box!

And on top of that, it was drop-dead gorgeous.

So, I hope that chapter answered some questions. But wait, there's more to come! What's the dress for, and why would Ron be giving it to Kim? And where does her Mom come into all this? The next chapter is full of suprises, so don't miss it! It'll be up really soon, so I'm glad about that; this is one of my quicker stories.
