Chapter 11: Nightmare
Disclaimer: All the characters of the TV show Kim Possible belong to Disney.
Kim suddenly woke up to find herself on the floor of a medieval-like dungeon.
"Where am I?" Kim thought.
She then got up off the floor and looked around to try and figure out where she was before looking down and noticing that she was wearing her shredded graduation gown.
"Why am I wearing my graduation gown?" Kim asked herself in thought before wiping sweat off her forehead with her right arm. "And why is it so hot it here?"
She then noticed a window with bars on it, walked up to it, looked out, and saw nothing but sand and a light blue sky.
"Desert?" Kim thought.
Suddenly, the sound of the dungeon's door unlocking was heard.
Kim turned and went wide-eyed when she saw two Lorwardians walk in. They were carrying long pointy-tipped spears and wore body armor.
Desperate to escape, Kim ran towards the door and tried to jump over the two Lorwardians only for one of them to hit her with the staff of his spear, sending her down to the ground in front of the them.
Then, one of the two Lorwardians picked Kim up while the other slapped chains, whose cuffs could fit onto a human's wrists and shins, onto her.
"What's going on?" Kim demanded. "Where am I?"
One of the guards hit Kim's bottom with the staff of his spear and shouted, "Silence, human, walk and don't talk!"
Kim reluctantly complied as she started walking out of the dungeon, up the stairs, and into what looked like an arena with Lorwardians filling the stands. She stopped walking when she saw a French-style guillotine in the middle of the arena and realized to her horror, that she was in an execution arena.
"Move it!" One of the guards escorting Kim shouted before hitting her in the bottom with the staff of his spear, again.
Kim continued walking until she finished climbing up the stairs to the guillotine.
"Hello, Kim Possible," Warmonga's voice was heard.
Kim turned around to see Warmonga walking up the stairs to the guillotine with Warhok by her left side.
Kim gasped, "Warmonga? Warhok? Where am I?"
"You are in the execution arena on Lorwardia," Warhok replied.
"Are you ready to be executed in front of the people of Lorwardia?" Warmonga asked Kim.
"Where are my friends and family?" Kim demanded.
Warmonga shook her head, "That doesn't answer my question."
Kim sighed and shook her head, "This is pointless."
"ANSWER WARMONGA'S QUESTION!" Warhok shouted.
Kim turned to Warhok and scowled, "That was my way of saying, no. Now where are my friends and family?"
"Most of them are still on Earth, light years away," Warhok replied. "But, there's only one human you know that is present here on Lorwardia."
"Who?" Kim demanded.
Both Warhok and Warmonga looked at each other, smirked, and looked back at Kim.
"Your mate," the two Lorwardians replied in perfect unison.
Kim went wide-eyed, "You mean...?"
The two Lorwardians didn't say anything. All they did was step aside for Kim to see, Ron, without his spacesuit and wearing his red jersey and tan cargo pants, being escorted up the stairs to the guillotine, in chains, by two Lorwardian guards identical to the ones that escorted Kim to the guillotine.
Kim gasped, "Ron!"
"KP!" Ron gasped when he saw Kim.
"You see," Warhok spoke up. Kim turned back to Warhok as the latter continued. "We've decided to select a human you know to be a witness at your execution. And who would make the perfect human you know to witness your execution than the man you love?"
"Why, Kim?" Ron demanded.
"She defeated me the first time she and I met," Warmonga spoke up. Ron turned to Warmonga before the latter asked. "Give us a reason why we shouldn't execute her."
"I love her," Ron replied. "I can't live without her. If you intend to execute her, then I hope you execute me too. That way, she and I can be together forever and avoid the pain of one having to live without the other."
Warmonga shook her head, "You just gave us a good reason to spare you."
"I talk to much," Ron groaned before asking, "What do you plan to do with me then?"
"You will spend eternity here on Lorwardia in grief, knowing that the woman you love has been beheaded," Warmonga replied. She then thought of something before speaking again, "You know, I think I'm gonna take something from you as a trophy what's your name?"
"Ron Stoppable," Ron groaned. "What do you want from me?"
Warmonga smirked, "Your pants!"
One of the guards that escorted Ron ripped off Ron's pants, revealing pink boxers with white polka dots on it.
Warhok, Warmonga, and all the other Lorwardians in the arena laughed their heads off when they saw Ron's boxers.
"What kind of human wears underwear like that?" Warhok asked while he was still laughing.
"Dude, these are boxers," Ron corrected. "They use to be red, but a laundry mishap has caused them to turn pink."
"Either way, you're gonna live a life without Kim Possible and your pants," Warmonga spoke up, still laughing. She then turned to the two Lorwardians escorting Kim and ordered, "Strap her in."
The guards removed Kim's chains before strapping her into the guillotine.
Warmonga turned to the guards escorting Ron and ordered, "Make the boy witness his mate's execution."
The guards then forced Ron to stand in front of Kim.
"I'm so sorry, KP," Ron said as tears came down his face. "I love you so much."
Kim began tearing up, "I love you too, Ronnie. Goodbye."
Then, the Lorwardian executioner hit the lever and a blade came down upon the back of Kim's neck.
Kim screamed while, at the same time, Ron screamed, "KP!"
Kim bolted upright from bed screaming and soaked in cold sweat at 3:00 am.
"KP?" Ron asked as he woke up from his slumber. "Are you okay?"
Kim turned to Ron, "I'm so sorry, Ronnie, I didn't mean to wake you up. I just had a horrible nightmare."
Ron cupped the left side of Kim's face with his right hand and said, "It's okay, KP, I've woken you up dozens of times in the past. So, I guess we are now even, sort of."
He then pulled his hand away before Kim nodded, "Yeah, I still remember those times you've called me up in the middle of the night."
"Like the time I asked you if you were a synthodrone?" Ron asked.
Kim nodded, "Exactly."
"So, KP, what was your nightmare like?" Ron asked with concern.
Kim took a deep breath before she began telling Ron everything that happened in her nightmare.
"That was horrible," Ron commented after Kim finished telling the story about her nightmare.
Kim sniffled, "It was. What's worse, is that it could've actually happened."
Ron pulled Kim into his embrace before she started crying into his shoulder.
"But it didn't," Ron said. "I stepped up and saved your life. Even though I had to kill the villains to save you."
Kim pulled back and nodded, "And I'm glad you did that."
"Wait, you're not mad?" Ron asked, confused.
"Why would I be mad at you?" Kim asked, confused.
"That day, I actually killed someone," Ron replied. "Even though I'm happy to have saved you, I wasn't happy to have taken a life. I partially thought that at one point you would leave me, thinking I was a murderer."
Kim shook her head, "No, Ron, you are not a murderer. You did the right thing, and I'm not mad at you."
Ron sighed in relief, "Well, that's a weight lifted off my shoulders."
Kim smiled before she hugged her husband.
"It's okay, KP," Ron assured his wife while returning the hug. "Your nightmare never came true and it will never come true."
"Don't let them behead me," Kim pleaded.
"I won't let anything happen to you," He said before kissing his wife on the top of her head. "I promise."
Kim looked up at her husband and smiled with tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"Thank you for saving me all those months ago," Kim whispered. "My head would've been mounted on a wall if it wasn't for you."
"And I'm glad to have saved you, KP," Ron said as he began tearing up himself. "I can't live without you."
Kim's smile faded before she sniffled, "I can't live without you either, Ronnie."
"And that's a big reason we decided to get married and go to the same college together," Ron pointed out.
Kim nodded, "And I'm glad we did. Marrying you and attending the same college as you were the best things that I have ever done. If I didn't do any of those things, it would've felt like when your Mom sent you away against your will."
"Us going to separate colleges would've been worse than Wannaweep ever was."
"And you wouldn't be there to comfort me whenever I have any nightmares regarding the Lorwardian invasion or something else."
Ron then pulled Kim into his embrace, again.
A few minutes later, the two broke the hug and Kim calmed down.
"Feeling better?" Ron asked.
Kim nodded, "A little."
Ron then took Kim's hands into his own and said, "Kim, as long as you are with me, no harm will ever come to you. You are here, you are alive, you are safe, and best of all: you are with me and I love you with all my heart and soul."
Kim smiled and leapt at Ron, causing both of them to roll out of bed and onto the carpet in their bedroom while at the same time, taking the bed sheets with them.
"Whoa," Ron commented. "What was that for?"
"I love you so much, Ronnie," Kim said happily before kissing her husband passionately.
After breaking the kiss, she spoke, again, "You make me the happiest girl in the world."
Ron smiled, "And you make me the happiest man in the world."
He then pulled his wife in and they, again, kissed passionately.
After they broke the kiss, they fell asleep, still on the floor!
Rufus, who woke up and saw everything that happened, slapped his face and groaned, "Oh brother."
