Drakken threw the old boom box aside in a fit of despair, "Why oh why when I'm so close does fate deal me such a cruel blow." He cried out to the night, the mournful sounds echoing off the gray stone walls of the Tri-County Penitentiary.

Shego looked up from her bunk and yelled, "Hey some of us are trying to sleep here."

"Shego we're in trouble the boom box quite transmitting?" Drakken said as he gloomed at the ancient boom box.

"Are you sure you didn't accidentally hit the switch and move it to auxiliary again?" She asked trying to help.

Drakken growled at the voice coming from across the hall, "Yes…er…No, hang on…Ahhh yes back to tape…It was on auxiliary, good catch Shego." Drakken said as he happily began transmitting orders to Mr. Dr. P. again.

Drakken looked up happily, "Shego don't you want to hear again how were going to get out of here Saturday night?" Drakken asked.

Shego rolled over in her bunk and said, "Oh if you must."

Drakken was giddy with excitement, "6:00pm the missle that this hapless boob is prepairing will be launced at 6:05 it should impact the wall of this fine facility about six cells down from us, the resulting explosion will either break down our prison walls or bury us in rubble or incinerate us in flames." Drakken said happily.

Drakken then stood up and stretched and looked around his small cell and continued, "Soon after that Dr. James Possible whisks in with my highly advanced hover car and we move to our new lair where my new army of synthodrones awaits us."

Shego smiled and chimed in happily, "Then we go Middleton and I kill Kim, Ron, and The Man."


Ron and Kim drove to Quarry Lake after school, but today it wasn't to be for making out, it was to design an ambush and to kill Kim Possible's arch foes.

Ron brought the Ronnunicator out of the car and sat it between the two of them on the picnic table and pressed the connect button, "Hey Wade what have you got for us?" Ron asked.

"Wade came on the screen, "Well Mr. Dr. P.'s not building a rocket, it's a missile complete with a warhead."

Ron nodded, "Could we change the direction of the rocket to where it impacts directly into Shego's cell? That would kill both of them in an instant." Ron suggested.

Wade shook his head and informed Ron, "I could do it Ron, but I'm not willing to kill them, I only do non-lethal weaponry."

Kim squirmed uncomfortably in her seat, "Do we really need to kill them…I…know Drakken's put my family through a lot…Is killing them really the answer?" Kim asked wearily.

Ron rubbed the back of his neck and then shook his head in disbelief, "Kim, He's got your dad under some kind of mind control, he has him leave a cruel note to your mother…If he doesn't die what is he going to do next to get at you?" Ron asked.

Kim looked down at the Ronunnicator on the picnic table and shook her head, "Ron, I've been up almost the whole night running this through my head, and…I just can't do it…I can't kill anyone." She told him as she got up and walked out towards the lake.

Ron watched as she picked up a couple of rocks and threw them in. The he turned his attention back to Wade, "Well Wade?" he asked.

Wade looked down at his computer key board for a long time, "I'm not going to help you kill them Ron." Wade told him.

Ron took a deep breath and looked back out to where Kim was still throwing rocks into the lake, "I guess I'll have to kill them both myself." Ron thought to himself.

Ron turned back to Wade and asked, "Hey…Can you get Kim's battle suit back to her? She won't admit it, but she's lost a step or two." Ron told him.

Wade nodded, "Sure Ron."

Then Ron had another thought, "Wade…any chance you can have one ready for Monique?" he asked.

"I think I can make one, you want one too?" Wade asked.

Ron shook his head no and looked at the screen, "No…carrying this thing around is more gear than I ever wanted." He said as he ended the conversation and began walking towards Kim.

"Do I need anything, if I would have said yes, I never would have received it anyway…He never did make cool stuff for me…Oh well." Ron thought sadly to himself as he came up from behind and wrapped his arms around Kim's stomach and gave her a hug.

Kim pulled away from the embrace and looked at the ground, "I'm not feeling real good Ron…Could you drive me home?" She asked quietly.

Ron nodded and said sadly, "Sure KP"

They drove home together in silence and when Ron dropped her off in front of her house she just got out of the car and walked inside.

Ron sat there watching her go up the stairs, "She knows what I'm about to do and is repulsed by it…If I do this I not only lose a girlfriend but I lose a friend." Ron thought sadly as he backed out of the driveway and drove home.

He entered his house walked up the stairs to his room picked up his squeaky clean friend Rufus and headed back out to the car for a trip to Bueno Nacho, "A few nacos may bring a few things into perspective." He said to Rufus.

He drove the few miles that it took to reach the restaurant, once inside he stood in the food line and seen Ned, "Hey guy…You ready for the prom?" he asked him.

Ned gave Ron a big grin and took his order and said, "Yep locked Tina up early, I was afraid Josh Mankey was going to ask me out so I figured I'd get a date as quick as I could."

Ned took Ron's money, "So you and Kim are going together this year…right?" he asked.

Ron shrugged, "That was the plan…" Ron said distantly.

Ned brought the food to the front, "Hey Monique's here with her new boyfriend, they're sitting right over there." He told him as he pointed to the back of the restaurant.

Ron nodded, "Great, at least she had the good taste not to put him at my table." He said absently as he walked over to his favorite table and sat down.

Ron started eating again and let his mind wonder, "If I don't kill them and I leave for Israel, it will only be a matter of time before they break out again and kill Kim or some other member of her family…That is unacceptable…Better to kill them and lose Kim then to let them live only to kill Kim." He thought sadly.

Ron put his food down and looked out the window into the parking lot, "I…I hope Kim can one day understand…I hope…" His thoughts were interrupted as he felt something bounce off his cheek.

He looked down and saw a little red pill, Ron looked over in the direction from which the object came, he saw J.D. glaring at him, "Monique's not with him…Looks like I get to punch J.D. in the mouth tonight." Ron thought as he narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Monique came back from the rest-room and sat across from J.D., Ron turned to the window and was shocked to see his eyes glowing blue. He turned his head quickly away, "Not here, control the temper take a deep breath…there that's better…Think about the tux…When do we pick it up? Oh yea, tomorrow after school…I'm going to look good." Ron thought happily as his momentary flash of anger subsided.

Once he calmed down he notice that Rufus was staring at him, "its ok buddy, nothing daddy can't handle." He said reassuringly to the mole rat.

Ron glanced back over towards the table where Monique was at and he saw that it was empty. He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Well J. D. gets to go another day without being punched." He thought happily.

Unfortunately for J.D., he just wasn't ready to leave well enough alone, "Hey Monique wait here for a sec. while I say Hi to Ron…ok" He told her as he strode confidently over to Ron's table.

Monique nodded that it was ok, "I don't know why I'm so nervous, me and Ron are still good…I think I'll go say hi to him myself." She thought happily as she walked down the isle towards Ron's usual table.

J.D. walked up to Ron's booth, "Hey loser, I'm going to dog shit university because of your lame ass." He said to Ron angrily.

Ron narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Seems just the place for you." Ron sneered as he felt his temper start to boil.

J.D. shook his head and leaned over towards Ron and held out his hand, "How about a few pills buddy." He said as he extended his hand.

Monique stopped dead in her tracks, "So that's who Ron got the pills from." She realized.

Ron began to shake and then turned his head away, Monique gasped as she saw his eyes go blue in the reflection in the window.

J. D. turned towards Monique, "Look the loser is jonesin' so bad he has to have em'" He said grinning at Monique.

Rufus sat upright watching what was going on in front of him, he took a bite of another nacho chip and said, "Uh Oh"

Ron reached out quickly and grabbed J.D.'s middle two fingers and bent them backwards quickly till he heard a snap and then he twisted the broken fingers clockwise as he rose from the booth.

J.D. screamed as he saw his fingers being bent and then when he heard the sickening crack of the bones he tried to pull his hand away but Ron wouldn't let him go. Then he looked up and saw Ron's grin and the glowing blue eyes and Ron bringing his left hand back for a punch.

Monique came out of her momentary shock at seeing Ron hurting her new boyfriend, "Ron…RON, STOP IT RON, RON I NEED A RIDE HOME." She screamed at him.

Ron turned and looked at her and the eyes went back to normal, and Monique chuckled nervously, "You don't think I'm going to ride home with white trash like him do ya?"

Ron let go of J.D's fingers and shoved him hard to floor, "Now you said what you wanted to say, do you feel better now…or worse?" Ron asked him not really caring if he got an answer.

He picked Rufus up off the table and the little mole rat stuck his tongue out at J.D. as he disappeared inside Ron's pocket.

"Come on Monique let's go." Ron said as he quickly cleaned up his trash and started walking towards the door.

Once they were inside the car Monique started to talk to him, "I…I didn't know Ron…I didn't know he was the one that gave you the pills."

Ron nodded, "I know he blames me for winning state and costing him a scholarship at a big time school and I've been wanting to get a hold of him over those pills…It was only a matter of time before we met up." Ron said sadly.

Monique smiled and explained nervously, "Oh good, I just didn't want you thinking I was going out with him to make you mad or anything."

Ron laughed and said, "Me angry? Nahhhhhhhh"

Monique looked around and saw that they were headed downtown, "I'm not really dressed for Thursday night ritual." She said.

Ron shrugged, "Neither am I…I just need someone to talk too." He said sadly.

Ron paid the cover for them and paid for a couple of sodas and they went into the small room and sat at the usual table, "I didn't notice who's playing tonight?" he asked Monique.

Monique smiled and shook her head, "Man Kim must really be playing with your head, if you didn't look at who was playing…I think its Kidney Stone." She told him.

Ron looked at her and smiled, "They can't be any worse than the band me and Kim saw here…and what makes you think its Kim trouble?" Ron asked.

Monique laughed and told him, "Because I'm here and she's not…So what's going on?"

"We have a small disagreement on the mission for Saturday…I want to kill Drakken and Shego and be done with it and Wade and Kim don't want to." Ron whispered to her.

Monique lifted an eyebrow, "That is a big disagreement…Why do you want to kill them?" She asked.

Ron looked around to see if anyone was listening and then answered, "Ok, me and Kim have fought these two over and over again for the last three years. Each time we fight them it gets harder and harder to beat them…Last year Kim fought Shego in a battle suit that Shego tore thru like a hot knife through butter…Kim's still got the scars."

Ron stopped and took a drink of his soda and looked around again, "Anyway Kim tried to go after them on her own last summer…after we broke up and they hung her on a wall and left her to die…Then we fought them again in August and we didn't do so hot, Global Justice showed up and arrested them…If things keep going the way they're going it will be us or them and I told her that I prefer US." Ron said urgently as he pointed at the table.

Ron took another drink of his soda and began again, "So anyway, Kim's dad is under Drakken's mind control and he has Mr. Dr. P. leave Kim's mom a note telling her he met someone else and wants a divorce…So now their messing with Kim's whole family…If these two get away this time or if they go back to jail…and I'm in Israel…It won't be long before they kill Kim and if that happens I come back here kill them anyway and then I burn this town to the ground." Ron said angrily as his eyes began to glow blue again.

Monique reached over and grabbed Ron's hands, "Shhhhhh..It's all right Ron, calm down…We'll just kill the bad guys on Saturday and be done with it." Monique said quietly trying to put Ron's mind at ease.

Ron simmered down and looked around again and smiled, "Ok now here's the other part of the problem, we were at Quarry Lake meeting with Wade and trying to devise a strategy and then she just went cold and walked away on me…I think if I do this I'll lose Kim as a girlfriend and as a friend…but at least she won't have to spend a life time looking over her shoulder." Ron said sadly.

Monique tilted her head and made eye contact with her former boyfriend, "Ron…Kim is a fruit loop and you know it…You may end up killing these two and she'll want to screw you on top of the corpses…I've told you once and I'll tell you again, your too good for her." She said forcefully.

Ron was rubbing the back of his neck, "It's just…If…I don't know?" He said as he dropped his hand to the table.

Monique chuckled and nodded her head, "Yea I know…So if she dumps you again…Will you be lookin'?" She asked trying to act casual.

Ron smiled and laughed and told her, "Monique I only have about four weeks left in town, once I get that diploma…I'm gone…It wouldn't be right to try and get in another relationship now."

Monique smiled and shrugged and told Ron in words that wouldn't be misunderstood later, "Well personally Ron if it does come down to us or them on Saturday night…I won't shed any tears if it's us."

The band came out and started to play, Ron reached into his pocket and pulled Rufus free, "Hey buddy want to see a rock band?" he said as he placed Rufus on the table.

Ron leaned back and listened to the band, "These guys aren't too bad." He thought as he started to relax.

Ron looked down and chuckled as he looked down on the table and saw that Rufus was playing air guitar and head banging to the music, "Is Kim a fruit loop…probably…Is Monique a fruit loop…probably…am I a fruit loop…Oh yea." He thought as he let out a deep breath and then he realized he was holding Monique's hand and he let it go real quick.

Ron jumped out of his chair and grabbed a CD as it sailed over his head, he brought the disc down and looked at it and then handed it to Monique. She smiled a sexy smile and mouthed the words "Thank You" to Ron.

Ron blushed and smiled, "I never did give her very much when we dated…That is my one regret." He thought sadly as he remembered when they were a couple.

Once the concert was over Ron walked out with Monique to the car, Monique was feeling frisky, "Hey want to explore the backseat with me?" She asked while licking her lips.

Ron smiled and shook his head, "Nope, past Rufus's bed time, wouldn't be a proper role model to have hanky panky in front of the child." Ron said playfully.

Monique looked at him and then tried again, "Oh come on…it'll be fun" She said.

Ron shook his head again, "I'm pretty serious about Kim right now…If she cuts me loose again on Saturday night…I'll be all for it….but not now." Ron said sadly.

Monique shook her head, "Your too good for Ron…You know that." She told him again as they got into the car.

Ron drove Monique home and dropped her off, "You know you kind of ruined my prom date." She told Ron.

Ron smiled and told her, "If Kim cuts me loose; you'll be the first one I call." He told her as she gave him a hug and got out of the car.

She stood on the sidewalk and watched Ron drive away down the street, "You are too good for her." She thought sadly.


Ron was heading back home when his cell phone began to ring, he dug around and found it between the seat and he answered it, "Hello"

"Hey Ron…its Kim…I noticed that your car wasn't home and…I thought I'd call and see if everything is ok?" Kim said sounding rather nervous.

Ron smiled and shook his head, "I'm still at home Kim, that Rufus took the car out again…I'm heading home…Thursday night ritual…I had Monique's with me…I kind of accidentally on purpose broke her boyfriends fingers tonight." He told her.

"A little jealous are we?" Kim said sounding slightly tweaked.

Ron shook his head, "KIM…Her boyfriend was J.D. Rottler and he started it and I finished it." He told her.

Kim was silent for a long moment, "Oh…Well you didn't have to take her to the Odyssey." Kim told him this time not bothering to hide her jealousy.

"Yes Kim I did, I needed someone to talk to and since you decided not to feel good…Look…I needed someone to talk to…ok." Ron said trying to tone his own emotions down.

"So did you talk with her in the backseat?" Kim asked trying to sound pleasant but failing miserably.

Ron pulled up out side of Kim's house, "KIM…I'm outside your house now…You want to talk come on out…if not…well that's fine too then I guess." Ron said more than a little tweaked as he hung up on Kim.

He turned the motor off on the car and got out and stood by the front fender, he looked up at Kim's bedroom window and he could see her looking out the window then she walked away from the window.

After a few minutes he saw the porch light come on and the front door opened and Kim came outside, "So you and Monique went to the Odyssey…What did you talk about?" Kim asked.

"We talked about killing Drakken." Ron told her honestly.

Kim shook her head and said, "Honestly Ron…I think your blowing this all out of proportion…Your starting to sound obsessed about killing them."

Ron closed his eyes and he shook his head, "Kim…" Ron stopped talking and shook his head again.

There was a long silence and finally Ron said, "I'm not going to talk about this anymore, I know what has to be done and I'm going to do it."

Kim shook her head and said, "Ron…I don't want to fight about this, I don't want to fight about Monique…"

Ron stared at the grass in Kim's front yard for a long moment, "So how's your mom doing?" He asked as he was trying to change the subject.

Kim looked away from him and chuckled, "She's ok…So what does Monique think?" Kim asked.

Ron shook his head, "So much for not wanting to fight about Monique, Ok…Monique is fine with it, either way it goes." Ron told her.

Kim turned her back and shook her head, "Ron…I'm fine either way…I still don't feel right about this…I feel like we're no different than they are now." Kim said sadly.

Ron took a deep breath and looked up at the stars, "Kim if Drakken and Shego fight us and kill us, they do it for power or money, land or…just because they enjoy killing us…When we fight, we never fight for all that and at the end of the night on Saturday the only thing we've really fought for….is each other…I don't know if that makes any sense…but it does to me." He told her as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys.

Kim nodded her head and looked back at her house and then said quietly, "I guess what ever happens Saturday night just happens…You picking me up for school in a few hours?"

Ron looked at the ground and said, "If you want me too?"

"I want you to." Kim said with a slight smile.

"I'll be here then." Ron said as he walked around the front end of his car.

Kim watched him drive up the street to his house, "I wish he'd quit turning to Monique…I did sort of blow him off…I just don't like the whole thing…luring Drakken and Shego into a trap and then killing them…I don't know…I guess what ever happens, happens." Kim thought sadly as she turned and walked back inside her house and turned off the lights.


Saturday morning finally arrived, Ron went to temple to talk some more with Rabbi Katz, the conversation was of course in Hebrew and Ron held his own.

He spoke the language of his forefathers without faltering or stumbling for words Ron believed that he was now ready to face his journey, but he did not know if he was ready to face the coming night.

He prayed during services for guidance and the strength to do what needed to be done, and that Kim and Monique would be uninjured at the end of the night.

Once services were over he drove to Smarty Mart and picked up the corsage for Kim, he had already picked up his tux the day before. He returned to the car and placed the corsage in the car and drove home confident that no matter what happened he would be ready.

He drove home and placed the corsage in the refrigerator and then walked upstairs to lie down until it was time to get ready. He looked at his Rufus waiting for him on the dresser, "You want to go tonight? I understand if you don't buddy." Ron said to him.

Rufus stood up straight and nodded.

Ron patted him on the head, "Are you sure…it could be…ugly." He told him.

Rufus nodded and squeaked, "Ugly…Yea"

Ron nodded and patted his head, "Ugly yea" He thought as he lay down for a nap.

His cell phone woke him up and he rolled over to answer the phone, "Hello"

Kim was on the other line, "Just calling to see if we were still going to leave early?" she asked.

Ron smiled, "Yea, What time is it?" he asked as he quickly looked over at his clock radio.

Kim giggled, "It's 3:00" she told him.

Ron looked around the room, "Yea…I've got to shower and then I'll be over."

Kim stopped him, "Ron wouldn't it be easier to just wear the mission cloths and then change once it's over?"

Ron thought about it, "Yea your right, you want to call Monique and let her know?" he asked suddenly regretting he brought it up at all.

"No…no…I think you'd better do that." Kim said evenly.

"Right…ok…I'll see you in an hour then. He said as he ended the call.

He called Monique and let her know what was going on and she agreed that it was a better idea and that she would be ready when the time came for Ron to pick her up.

He took a shower and dressed quickly in his mission cloths and began to load up his car, "Tuxedo…check….dress shoes and socks…check…corsage…in fridge." He thought as he quickly turned to go back inside the house.

"Packages bye the door?" He thought as he picked them up to look at them.

"Ah…Battle suits, one for Kim and one for Monique…Good for you Wade." Ron thought as he placed them in the car.

He retrieved the corsage and drove down the street to Kim's house, once he parked he hopped out of the car and grabbed the battle suit and quickly ran up the steps and rang the door bell

Kim answered the door and Ron thrust the package at her, "Present from Wade."

Kim opened it up and jumped up and down, "Yes…the battle suit." She said as she quickly ran upstairs to change.

He saw Mrs. Dr. P. and waived.

She walked up to the door, "So how've you been?" She asked.

Ron smiled and said, "I was going to ask you the same thing."

The older woman smiled and told Ron, "Kim's filled me in on what your planning to do…Before the note I would have been against it…Now…What ever you decide to do…I'm ok with it…Just try to bring Jim back intact."

Ron smiled and nodded, "Yea…I think we can do that for you." Ron said trying to sound reassuring.

Kim came back down stairs wearing the battle suit, "How do I look?" she asked her boyfriend.

Ron leered at her and looked at Mrs. Dr. P. and said, "Cover your ears."

Mrs. Dr. P. laughed and shook a finger at him and said , "I know enough to walk away Ron."

Ron walked over to Kim and gave her a big bear hug, "You feeling better?" he asked.

Kim nodded and smiled, "It's starting to feel like a routine mission…Yea, I'm feeling better." She said happily.

They got in the car and went over to pick Monique up, Ron handed her a package and she disappeared inside the house and emerged in a few minutes wearing her suit.

"How do I look?" She asked.

"It looks like you've gained weight." Kim said with a smirk.

Ron smiled and cupped his hands in front of his chest, "Yea but the weights in the right spots." He said laughing.

Monique smiled at Kim, "The suit is a little tight but it only highlights my assets." She said thrusting her chest out as she climbed into the backseat.

Kim nodded and smiled and informed her just what she thought of her assets, "Monique the suit doesn't have to be tight to see you have a big asset."

Ron shook his head and laughed, "Meeeeeeeeowwwwwwwww, ok enough cat fighting, we have a bit of a trip in front of us." Ron reminded them.

Once they hit the highway Ron pointed at the glove compartment, "Time to call Wade." He told Kim.

Kim rolled her eyes and pulled out the Ronnunicator and hit the button to connect to Wade, "Hey guys, I see you're on the highway and that Ron is speeding." He said happily.

"Speed limit is 70 here Wade." Ron told him.

"65 Ron" Wade corrected him.

Kim interrupted the conversation, "Wade we just passed a sign that said 70." She told him.

Wade's lower lip shook, "You…you mean…the internet is wrong?" he said in disbelief.

Ron chuckled, "Sorry buddy, the speed limit is 70 that's why I'm doing 80 so we don't get run over by a big truck." Ron told him happily.

"Oh…Ok, sure laugh at the boy in his room…I see how you guys are, I design cool things to help you and you make fun of my internet resources." Wade said as he was starting to become angry.

Monique leaned over the seat, "You made this battle suit?" She asked trying to get Wade out of his mind set.

Wade perked up and said, "Yea…you like it?"

Monique smiled and said, "Yea it's spankin' a little tight but just tight enough if you know what I mean."

Wade blushed and looked away to one of his monitors and said shyly, "I…I didn't really have any sizes to go by…Ron just said you were…boobier than Kim."

Kim shot Ron a look, "Boobier" She said in a tweaked voice.

Ron cleared his throat, "Ummmmmmmm yea…Too much information there Wade." Ron said hoping Wade would get the hint.

"Oh right…Sorry Ron, so how's the mission going so far?" Wade said trying to help Ron out.

"BOOBIER" Kim said obviously not willing to let it go just yet.

Ron shrugged and said sheepishly, "I don't know sizes or bra cups or anything like that…I was just going on…ummm…handfuls…I'm not helping myself here am I?" Ron said becoming quite aware by the chill in the air that he wasn't.

Kim shook her head no and raised her eyebrows, "We are going to have a little talk once this is all over mister." Kim said as she pointed a finger at him.

Monique popped up between the two of them and said happily, "Not feeling inadequate are we Kim?"

Kim glared at her and then reached up and pushed Monique into the backseat, Monique was laughing and clapping and thoroughly enjoying herself at Kim's expense.

Ron looked at Kim and gave her a weak smile, "We'll talk later KP."

Kim puffed out her cheeks and said in a rather exasperated tone, "Oh yes we will."


Drakken looked out the bars towards Shego's cell and whispered, "Shego are you ready?"

Shego strolled up to the bars, in a new green and black outfit with a plunging neck line and a skirt that barely covered her butt, and topped off with a pair of black high heels, "I'm ready to meet Kim…Do you think he'll like the new look?" She asked Drakken.

Drakken looked at her and made it obvious that he was rather annoyed, "Shego…Head in the game, we're getting ready to escape, not getting ready for some…prom." He reminded her.

Shego smiled at her boss and said, "Your just jealous of me and Kim that's all."

Drakken looked at his watch it was 5:50pm, he pulled the ageing boom box out from under his bunk and made contact with Mr. Dr. P., "Start launch preparations, I'm ready to leave now." Drakken told his drone.

Mr. Dr. P. responded to the commands, "Yes my master, missile moving into launch position….T-minus ten minutes and counting." He informed the voice in his head.

"Shego, pull the mattress off your bunk and wedge yourself behind the stool and keep your head down." He yelled across the hall.

Drakken pulled the mattress off his bunk and did as he told Shego, "I hope that my calculations are correct…Or this could be awfully messy." He thought to himself.

Drakken quickly realized that he had forgotten the boom box and retrieved it and asked Mr. Dr. P. for an update, "What is the status now?"

"T-minus five minutes and counting." Mr. Dr. P. replied staring blankly at the video monitors observing the launch.

Drakken looked everything over and tried to remember if he had forgotten anything and decided that he hadn't, "Give me the ten second countdown." He barked over the boom box.

Mr. Dr. P. watched the digital counter on the control center console, "T-minus 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…ignition…missile away." He told the voice in his head.

Drakken started his own countdown in his head about how long it will take the missile to reach the prison, "Shego…Any second now…Keep your head down." He screamed.

The missile left the rocket plant and hurtled toward the penitentiary at supersonic speeds, the sonic boom that radiated across the Tri-County area set off car alarms and shattered windows in stores and private residences.

People went racing out in the streets in time to see a hover car flying over head, before they had a chance to react or call the police there was a deafening roar and an explosion from the penitentiary that shook the ground and threw stone debris hundreds of feet into the air.

Drakken was crouched behind his mattress and he could feel debris bouncing off the mattress and landing behind him. After all the noise and debris had finished falling Drakken looked up from his hiding spot and saw daylight.

He quickly looked over towards Shego and saw that she too was moving towards the opening in the wall, "Quickly Shego, the hover car will be here any moment." He said as he picked up his boom box.

The hover car appeared from just over what was left of the wall and Drakken and Shego climbed aboard, "Quickly to the lair." He told Mr. Dr. P. as they sped off to the north.


The three teenagers had just entered the old lair and were giving it the once over, "That's new." Kim said as she pointed towards the landing pad that was built where the old antenna array once stood.

Ron looked around nervously and said, "I wonder what else is new?"

Kim noted his nervousness right away, "Not getting cold feet are you Ron?" she said smiling.

Ron recoiled from the comment, "Sha…I'm just nervous about our little talk that's coming." He told her.

Kim giggled, "You should be." She said mischievously.

Ron winced, "Look Kim…" He started to say before he was interrupted by the Ronnunicator.

Ron pulled out the device and hit the receive button, "What's the sitch Wade." He said unconsciously.

Wade's image filled the screen, "Drakken and Shego are airborne and headed your way." He told him.

"Remember Wade don't jam the signal controlling Kim's dad until after you make sure they've landed." Ron reminded him.

Wade nodded, "I got ya Ron." He told him as the screen went break.

Ron looked at Kim, "Show time…Head in the game, sidekick." He said with a smile.

Kim looked at Monique, "He must be talking to you." She told her in a snotty voice.

Monique had butterflies in her stomach and didn't care who knew about it, "Oh…Yea" she said in a quivering voice.

"Ron looked out the high rise lair and saw the hover car in the distance and said, "I think we should hide until they're on the ground and then make our presence known."

The hover car was racing towards the lair and a red light began flashing on the console in front of him, "Look Shego we have company." He said as he pointed towards the blinking light.

Shego smiled and said, "Get these bracelets off of me so I can kill Ron and have Kim all to myself." She demanded as she stuck her wrists out towards Drakken.

Drakken nodded and threw a switch, "Let's see how Kim deals with a blast from her past." He said as he turned to work on removing Shego's bracelets.

Kim looked at the torn wall hanging of the first Bueno Nacho when a door slid open behind her and she heard a familiar voice, "Hey Kim, still need a date for the prom?"

Kim's eyes opened up wide and her jaw fell open and then she turned around and saw leaning against a doorway Eric, "You…" Kim said as she tried to find words.

Ron saw Eric too and he came from around the corner and looked at him, then he slapped his pocket twice and Rufus popped up, "Uh Oh" he said as he scampered out.

He shook his head as he looked at theslick well dressed synthodronethat made him come out and admit his feelings for Kim, the memory of her waving at him as she rode by on the back of his motorcycle was starting to make Ron angry beyond comprehension.

Eric looked over at Ron and then back at Kim, "So you couldn't do any better, so you decided to get your freak on with this loser…Well I'm Eric 2.0 and I've had a few augmentations…you see Kim…I'm anatomically correct now…and I can please you better than OHHHHHHHHH." Eric 2.0 wailed in pain as Ron stepped forward and kicked him in the groin.

Ron then came back with a blistering right cross that drove Eric 2.0 to the ground, Ron then pointed to Kim with glowing blue eyes and an evil grin spread across his face, "Anatomically correct is right." He growled as he proceeded to start kicking the wounded synthodrone.

Ron finally rolled Eric 2.0 onto his back and he straddled his chest and began to punch him in the head, each punch saw streams of green goop gushing from Eric 2.0's ears and with every punch was accented with a word, "YOU…ARE…NOT…TAKING…KIM…FROM…ME…AGAIN…YOU…DIRTY…MOTHER…" Then he stopped and looked around and discovered he was kneeling in a pool of green goop.

Monique ran forward with a big grin on her face and told him, "Hit him again Ron, hit him again."

Ron stood up shaking the goop off of his hands and looked at the two girls, "I think it's obvious they know we're here now…Let's make for the landing pad." Ron said as he started up the stairs.

They made it to the top of the stairs and Ron ran to the left down the hallway and Kim started to follow then her attention was diverted to her right by an army of lumbering synthodrones.

Kim's smile was broad and she pumped her right fist into her left hand tilted her head to the left and thought, "Show Time."

Kim pointed to Monique and told her, "Let's get em', you go to the right and I'll head down the center."

Monique looked at the group of synthodrones heading her way and swallowed hard, "Ok, here we go." She said nervously.

Ron stopped his movement as he realized that no one was behind him except Rufus who stood up on his hind legs and pointed back down the hallway.

Ron slapped his pocket, "Let's go Rufus." He said as the little mole rat hopped back into Ron's familiar pocket.

Ron ran back to where he and had last seen Kim and there he found her. Ron smiled and leaned up against the wall. This was how he wanted to remember Kim.

She was bouncing from side to side like a pinball dismembering synthodrones as fast as they could come out to face her. Ron smiled as he noted that she had lost a step but she was still devastatingly destructive force to be reckoned with.

Ron laughed as he looked over at Monique running around in circles screaming, "WHAT SHOULD I DO, WHAT SHOULD I DO?"

Kim put her battle suited hand through another synthodrone and turned to yell towards Monique, "Hit someone."

After ten grueling minutes there were no more synthodrones. Kim stepped back and observed the destruction, "Whahooooo, how many of them did you take down Monique?" she asked excitedly.

Monique was jumping around looking at the fallen synthodrones, "None…how about you?"

Kim laughed and told her, "I got the rest."

Ron stepped forward and said happily, "Now that was a battle worth watching." He told her.

"KIM POSSIBLE" came the cry from down the hall.

Ron immediately knew that the voice belonged to Dr. Drakken himself.

The smile came off of Ron's face as he started to walk down the hallway to do what had to be done.

Then Shego stepped in front of Dr. Drakken and smiled wickedly at Ron, "I've decided that I love you Kim…Now I must go and kill the others…bye bye." She said as she vaulted over him.

Ron blinked and watched her engage Kim and Monique in battle, "Wow…She's hot…confused…but hot." He thought as he turned his attention back to Dr. Drakken.

Kim and Shego started trading blows, neither having a clear advantage. Shego landed several feet from Kim after a thwarted acrobatic attack, her hands began to glow green just before she was punched in the back of the head.

Shego growled and spun to find her new attacker trying to get away, Monique dodged the plasma energy blasts from Shego, she turned to look at Kim, "KIM, HELP" she yelled as she found an open door and quickly ran inside.

Shego pursued her down the hallway and tried to open the door only to be kicked in the head and to be rendered unconscious.

Kim looked at the figure on the floor and shook her head, "I can't do it, I can't kill Shego." She thought to herself sadly.

The door opened a crack and Monique popped her head out, "Where's Ron?" she asked.

Kim looked up and then took off to where she had seen Ron last. She ran to the spot and they weren't there, she continued up the stairs to where she could hear a struggle going on.

Drakken was desperately trying to get away from Ron and Ron was giving him an inch. Ron grabbed Drakken by the back of his collar and pulled him back into the old waiting room with him.

"Let me go, I'm defeated, I want to go back to prison…I don't want to die." Drakken wailed as Ron had finally got the upper hand in the fight.

Ron in a move he'd seen Steel Toe perform so many times on TV drove Drakken head first into the ground before he straddled him and began to choke the life out of him.

He had both hands wrapped around his throat and Drakken's eyes bulged from his head, his tongue was hanging out of his mouth and his skin began to turn a much darker blue. Ron was squeezing as hard as he could, "You stole my 99 million" he repeated over and over again.

Kim finally snapped out of her shock, "RON STOP IT, LET HIM GO…RON."

Ron ignored her as he continued killing Drakken, Ron felt a hand on his arm and he turned as saw Kim's face, "We've won Ron…stop…please." She said softly.

Ron was short of breath and was sweating and he let of Drakken, "You sure?" he asked.

Kim nodded and said, "Yea"

Ron looked sick as he got up and walked out of the room, he walked past Monique and didn't even notice her as he was headed back to his car. He noticed armed men rushing into the building and saw that it was Global Justice.

Ron walked past them and out into the old Bueno Nacho World Headquarters, "I've failed…I should have killed him….I failed." Was all he could thing of to himself.

Drakken looked up at Kim and in between gasps he said, "Thank you Kim…Could you call an ambulance for me….I think…I think Don broke my back and I'm afraid to move."

Drakken began to cry, "I never wanted to hurt anyone…I only want to rule the world…is that so wrong?" he asked.

Shego came in her wrists bound in the white bracelets once again escorted by Global Agent Will Du. She sank to her knees and put her head on Drakken's chest and stroked his face.

Drakken looked down at his sidekick and swallowed hard, "Ummmmm…Shego…our relationship is purely professional." He reminded her.

Shego here eyes welling with tears looked at her boss, "I know…purely professional." She said sadly.

Kim remembered her dad and ran towards the landing bay where she saw him looking over the hover craft, "Dad…are you….dad?" She asked.

"Hey Kimmiecub, I was just looking over the craftsmanship of this hover car…It's a sweet ride." He said admiringly.

Kim hugged him, "Good to have you back, let's go home." She said to him.

They walked back into the building and saw Drakken being placed on a back board with a brace on his neck. Shego was holding his hand oblivious to everyone.

Agent Will Du walked up to Kim and told her angrily, "You tell Mr. Stoppable that he's lucky I don't have him tried in the Haig for violating this man's human rights."

Kim nodded and asked, "What's going to happen to them?"

Agent Du turned and looked at her, "Well since it seems that United States is unable to handle these Super Criminals, we're going to transport him to Switzerland where we can keep him contained." He told her.

Kim nodded and walked with her dad to where Monique was, "Mr. Dr. Possible how are you feeling today." She asked Kim's father.

James Possible smiled and said, "I'm fine a little tired…I don't really know…how I got here." He said absently.

They walked outside and saw Ron leaning against his car staring at the ground, Kim waked up to him and hugged him, "It's a good thing you didn't kill Drakken, Will Du says would have stood trial for it." She told him.

Ron glared at her, "Du's an idiot." He snapped.

Then Ron turned his head away and then looked at her, "I failed Kim…I failed." He said sadly.

Kim shrugged, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be…You did kill Eric 2.0 though." She said trying to cheer him up.

Ron smiled and nodded and tried to talk and then finally said quietly as Monique and James Possible climbed into the back seat, "I…I couldn't handle him showing up again…I just remember you and him together and I snapped."

Kim hugged him and told him, "Don't worry if you didn't kick him in the groin…I would have." She said smiling.

Ron smiled and asked her, "Want to buy a car?"

Kim shook her head, "What?"

"I'm going to be leaving soon and your going to need a car to go to school in Upperton…You want to buy mine?" he asked.

Kim lifted her eyebrows and asked, "Can I test drive it?"

Ron smiled and handed her the keys and then the group left for Middleton.

Once they arrived home they dropped Monique off so she could get ready and then they raced to Kim's house to change and get ready.

Ron had his picture taken with Kim by Mrs. Dr. P. as Mr. Dr. P. put his arm around his wife, "Ronald…You know what time I expect her home?" he asked.

Ron lifted an eyebrow and said, "Dawn?"

They had a good laugh and then the couple drove off to pick up Monique, she ran to the car and pulled Ron out of the driver's seat, "Sorry Kim have to borrow him for a picture."

Ron stood beside her as the picture was taken, Monique's brother Kejay got after Monique for not dating a proud black man and Monique let him know what she thought, "Keyjay, Middleton isn't exactly teaming with proud black men, the only black guy I know is 14 years old and never leaves his room."

Ron smiled at the reference to Wade and then Monique piled into the backseat and Kim turned to she her, "You look spankin' Monique." She said politely.

Monique smiled and repaid the compliment, "You look great too Kim." She told her.

Ron looked at them and said, "You both look great."

Kim turned to Monique and lifted an eyebrow, "Ok…Here's the ground rules, I get the slow dances and you can have the fast ones, no hands below the waist…got it?" she asked.

Ron laughed and pumped a fist in the air, "BOOYAH…I got two dates." He screamed happily.

Kim smiled and reminded him, "Ohhhhhhhhh we still have to have our little talk."

Ron pulled his head into his shoulders, "Oh…Sorry…I forgot about that." He told her.

They arrived at the prom and Ron danced and danced and danced for the final two hours of the dance. Monique and Kim were having fun trading Ron back and forth, Kim made sure to not let Ron out of her sight and Monique never pushed her luck.

After the dance was over he stood outside staring at the gym with Kim, Monique, Tara, Bonnie, Brick, Ned and Tina. None of the group said anything they just looked at the school with the coming realization that they would all be graduating soon and going their own ways.

It was a bittersweet moment, it was sad but it would go down in Ron's memory as one of the happiest moments of his life. He was relieved that he could enjoy the moment without any blood on his hands and that Kim was with him.

He put his arm around Kim and drew her tightly to him, "I love you Kim." He whispered in her ear.

Kim smiled and closed her eyes and whispered back to him, "I know."

The group broke up finally and Ron dropped Monique off at home, she hugged Kim and then him and waived as she went back into her house.

Ron looked at Kim, "I guess we're going to have that talk now aren't we?" he asked nervously.

Kim laid her head against the head rest and smiled, "What talk…I want to go to Quarry Lake." She said happily.

Ron chuckled and nodded, "Booyah" he said as he pulled away from the curb and drove off into the night.
