Author's Notes!

Hey there!

Sorry for the unexpected short break. I've gone to my relative's for a few weeks. No reason to panic, though, since I'm back! Now, as those coming from other sites, I'll tell you now that they are also my accounts. Aside from FFNet, I've also added this one on AO3 and Wattpad. They're there as my backups just in case. Another thing, I know I said that I'll be releasing a one-shot, but right now I'm still on its writing phase, so I'll have to postpone them. I'll tell you guys when it is ready.

Also, since I've heard that the new KP DCOM has been released, I've been reading some opinions about it since I can't watch it from here. And based on the results I've found, aside from a few contested thoughts, the movie went well. There was a new character named 'Athena', to which I've know little from, but I think it's doable to put her in this story without disrupting much.

Anyway, let's get this show going. I am kmtdiccion and welcome to another exciting chapter of...

"Possible's Pure Love Road"

Chapter Twenty:
"So Not An Amusement Date"

A lot has happened this week, but after waking up, Ron was very excited to realize that it's finally weekend.

Today is Saturday, and tomorrow is the day he's waited for the entire week. He'll be going to the amusement park with none other than Kim Possible. Ron Stoppable is going on a date with the infamous Middleton Bloody Fox. Their relationship as of this moment is incredibly ambiguous, considering the things that had happened during the festival. At that time, they were pretending to date one another, but now they're two people who have agreed to go out on a date, a real one.

Ron wondered if they'll reach into a decision by the end.

The thought of them being official made him let out a sigh in nervousness. They've been 'going out' three times now, so he thought he should be used by her presence now, but the blonde boy knew that those didn't count. The first time was for the Pickleworks preparations and for Love. The second time was to clean up the cat posters the following day. And the third time was still for the festival again. There had been an underlying reason for them to go out. But, this time, things are going to be different.

He'll be going somewhere with Kim, without any other reason. It was enough proof for him that she doesn't hate him. "If someone as plain and commonplace as me wants to date the strongest delinquent leader in Middleton... Then I'll have to make that happen tomorrow."

Releasing another deep breath, he continued his morning routine, trying to shake of the anticipation and nervousness building inside. His goal for the day is to find an outfit he wanted to use for the date. Remembering the effort of the redhead put in her clothes the last time they went together made him feel a bit dissatisfied on how he approached his own. He wanted to go out of his way as well tomorrow. With that, after leaving the bathroom, he went to his closet and dove into the line of hanged clothes.

Together with his quest of finding the perfect outfit were his sister Adrena and his friend Josh. The budding artist watched with slight interest as he muttered "You're really worrying about your clothes, huh?" while the female blonde wore a disgruntled face "Whooo the heck caaaares?"

Although he didn't want anyone to see how his sister acts at home, Ron didn't have any choice. "Well... it's like what they always say. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs." He muttered mentally while taking out one piece of clothing that caught his eyes. Josh, on the other hand, looked at the snarling woman beside him and let out a sigh "I don't really want to see Miss Stoppable like this, either. It's quite disillusioning."

"Beauty is best viewed from afar." The younger blonde brother sagely advised, to which the top student nodded his head in affirmation. Adrena waved her hands at that an smiled "It's fine, it's fine. You're like another younger brother to me, Josh." The star pupil flashed his smile and replied "I'm flattered."

When Ron was done picking clothes, he puts the heap right on top of the bed and started "Let's get started, then. I've picked out a lot of different outfits, so I want you two to tell me which one you think looks best." Josh nodded his head at that while the elder blonde sister tilted her head to the side and asked "So this is for what you're wearing for when you go out with a girl?"

Nodding his head, Ron answered "Yeah, I want something that'll really get her heart going." Adrena didn't like the tone her brother is using for some girl other than her, and so her mood soured in further. She furrowed her brows and let out a retort "Then why not go in your birthday suit? It's the manliest possible option." The freckled teen stared at her for a moment before firing back "Because that's not allowed by the government, sis."

Shaking her head, Adrena let out a murmur "... Why do I have to help Ron with his date?" Ron didn't quite heard what she said and so he turned his head towards her, but all he got was a scathing glare. Heaving out a deep sigh, Ron said "It's okay if you don't want to help me, sis. I'll just ask Josh."

"You sure you're okay with just Josh? He's good-looking and all, but he doesn't have the best taste in clothes." Adrena pointed at the other blonde boy's clothes, which looked rather plain. Josh looked a bit hurt on her comment and muttered "Rude." to which Adrena added to her claim with a question "You buy most of your clothes at Smarty Mart, don't you?"

The budding artist nodded and answered with a smile "Clothes are cheap there. It's fine, isn't it? Smarty Mart's got good clothing. They're rather comfortable and they don't feel rough on my skin. Also, I haven't noticed a decrease in modelling offers if I wear their clothes. I still get hit on pretty often, regardless of what I'm wearing." The Stoppable siblings stared at the boy for a moment before the younger brother started to speak up first "... Handsome men are annoying."

Adrena just made a 'hmph' noise and crossed her arms, further pointing out the fact that she's right. Ron shook his head and amended his earlier statement "Fine. you're right. I want you to be here, too, sis." He took some clothes and went to the bathroom, saying "I'll go get changed, so tell me what you think, Josh, Sis. Don't mess around, okay?"

OUTFIT #1

It didn't take him long to get into his first outfit and go out the bathroom. He went for a simple pose and asked "What do you think?"

The two went silent for a moment, before Adrena suddenly popped out in joy and commented "... It's great! You should definitely wear that outfit tomorrow." Ron was taken aback with her outburst, but nonetheless, he blushed from the compliment and rubbed the back of his head "A-All right. This really looks that good?" He was afraid that he might dress a bit too flashy, but he was slightly relieved that his sister liked it. Looking for another point of view, he turned towards his friend and asked "And what about you, Josh?"

Josh, however, has his face scrunched up and was unable to speak for a while before breaking his confidence "Well, if I were to sum up my thoughts... I'd say you look like a rapper from around 2003. You look really dumb." Adrena's smile went out in an instant as Ron decided to take a look of himself one more time, slowly seeing Josh's view. The freckled teen nodded his head while murmuring "Urgh... Now that you mention it, it might be a bit much."

His face looked way off to pull off a look that has been outdated for a decade. Slightly sulking, Ron said "I-I'm gonna change." And when he returned back to the bathroom, Adrena clicked her tongue in annoyance that her plan didn't work.

OUTFIT #2

Taking the flashy route out of the way, Ron decided to be more like American. When he got out of the room, he was greeted by another enthusiastic reply from her sister. Meanwhile, Josh furrowed his brow and muttered "Hm... This one's quite American. 1930's America, to be specific. As if you'd stepped out of technicolor, I'd say."

Ron nodded his head and said "I'm gonna change." which earned another click of the elder blonde woman's tongue.

OUTFIT #3

"Tada!" Ron made a pose after opening a door. The blonde aspiring artist scratched his head before answering "You look like a child with over-enthusiastic parents out on a Sunday." Meanwhile Adrena was silent, slowly realizing that her brother may have some serious problem with fashion.

OUTFIT #5

Adrena's eyes this time almost look like she's wincing from the sight. Meanwhile, Josh was unrepentant with his comments. "A pothead living on the streets, I'd say."

OUTFIT #8

Hope started to drain from their faces as Ron went out for the eighth time. The elder of the Stoppable siblings was now trying not to pity the boy, while the freckled teen's friend is now pondering whether this endeavor would even bear fruit. Josh let out a sigh at that and muttered "You look like a mountaineer who just finished climbing the top of Mount Everest." The boy deflated a bit before returning to his room, not even bothering saying anything else.

OUTFIT #13

By this time, all energy has been sapped out of their bodies. But, when Ron decided to get out of the room, Adrena and Josh felt their mind rejuvenated like zombies. The reason for that, however, wasn't positive in the slightest.

"Why on earth do you have a Naked Mole Rat costume!?" The dirty blonde boy asked incredulously, eyeing the pink suit up and down. He hung his head low at that and let out a pitiful sigh "No good, huh?" to which Josh went near him and whispered "Let me wear that afterward." Meanwhile, Adrena was left sitting on the chair, looking at him with mixed emotions. Initially, she wanted to sabotage his date with his clothes, but after seeing her brother's ludicrous choice of apparel, she wondered if she even needed to do something to destroy his chances with other girls. "Looks like I didn't need to even worry..." She mentally thought, not quite sure what to feel for the situation.

It took them a whopping four hours in total to reach a sane choice in the end.

Possible residence...

While Ron was worrying about his clothes, Kim is currently talking to her cousin on the couch. "Oh, okay. So you really can't come tomorrow." Joss muttered with slight disappointment in her voice. The redhead nodded her head and said "Yeah. I already have plans..."

The small brunette's brows scrunched up and relented "Well... I guess there's nothing you can do about that. I wish you could be there to direct the Food Chain hunt." With that, Joss stood up and bid farewell to her older cousin before exiting the house. Kim watch her back as she walked out of the house and let out a sigh. She felt sorry for disappointing her cousin, who was really eager to please her, but she didn't have any choice. "... There's nothing I can really do. Tomorrow's the only chance I've got. If I take any longer, then..."

Meanwhile, Anne went down the stair while carrying a basket of clothes for laundry and saw her scrunched up face. "What are you looking so down for?" She asked. Kim looked at her for a moment, trying to gather her words and thoughts together, before saying "Mm... Hey, Mom... How'd everyone react when you stopped being a delinquent?" The elder redhead set the basked on the floor as she brought her hand on her chin in thought "They were pretty confused. It happened out of nowhere, after all."

Kim nodded her head at that "Yeah, I bet..." She didn't say anything else as her thoughts went back to her current predicament with a certain blonde boy. She knew she's at the point where she can't deny the growing feelings deep inside her heart. But even if she did reached the conclusion that she might like-like him, it doesn't change the fact that they're still at opposite ends. Dating an ordinary guy as a fearsome delinquent is going to change a lot of things, and she's not sure is she's ready for it.

The matriarch of the family watched as her daughter went deeper from her thought and smiled. She knew that look all to well. It was as if she went back to her youth as she thought about the same thing she's been thinking. Her relationship with James wasn't on the best terms, either, and she chuckled at how she acted during that time. With a knowing look, she patted her on the shoulder and said "... I get it. Listen to me, Kimmie."

Her face turning towards her, Kim listened as the neuro-scientist imparted her with some wisdom "It's your life. Live it how you want to. Fighting and being a delinquent is your choice. And it's your choice to quit being a delinquent, too."

Said teen girl nodded her head, her eyes starting to clear up a bit. Anne let out a smile for a moment before adding "... And a word of warning. What ever you do, don't half-ass it." Kim's eyes trained back at her as her mother's face morphed into seriousness as she continued "If you half-ass your way through it, you'll definitely regret it. Words of advise from someone who has lived longer than you have. Understand?"

Although her voice was stern, Kim could feel the love behind those words, and for a while, her heart felt light. Kim smiled and gave her mother a hug "... I know. Thanks, Mom. And... it's not like I'm the type to half-ass things anyway, right?" Said mature redhead let out a laugh and gave her precious daughter a kiss on the forehead before returning to her chores, leaving the teenager to herself to think more about her plans and decision.

The next day...

It was the day he's been waiting for, and so as soon as he heard the alarm ring, Ron's eyes went wide open in an instant and turned it off, before standing up. His body filled with excitement and anticipation, the blonde teen can't help but radiate joy with every movement he makes. It didn't take long for him to get on his clothes and prepare for his upcoming date. When he took a step out of the house, a wind blew past him, sending shivers to his spine.

Even if it's summer season, the wind gushing still feels cool. He bid goodbye to his sister before starting off his walk. And as per tradition, he gave everyone along the way a smile and a greeting, making some of the elder folk in the area smile back at him. He arrived to their rendezvous point at the train station a few minutes earlier, but he didn't have to wait long, since Kim is already there. "Thanks for waiting." The freckled teen waved his hand at the girl, to which she responded "Oh, hey."

The two started walking towards the ticket station as Ron stated "We'll be able to enjoy ourselves for longer if we go earlier, after all." Kim smiled at him and nodded her head "Got that right!"

Ron watched with fascination as her good mood seems to radiate off of her body like a star. The smile proved to be infectious enough for him to follow suit and join in her happiness. When he turn to her clothes, he saw that she's on her usual pants and a jacket over her top. "You're wearing your usual clothes today."

Kim blushed at that and stuttered out her response "O-Of course I am. I can't wear something that embarrassing every day." Deep inside his mind, he's secretly wishing she'd wear that outfit again, but nonetheless, the fact that the Bloody Fox is beside him is enough for Ron. She's still terribly cute whatever she wears. And so, he went to the counter and bought two tickets, with one handed to her. The two then went towards the platform and waited for the train to arrive.

A few minutes later after exiting the station, the two reached the front of the amusement park. The sound of the rides whirring and the shouts accompanying it made it feel like the place is brimming with exhilaration. Kim's emerald eyes shone from the display as many people of all ages went to and from the area. "Oohhh~ This place is huuuuuuge~"

Despite being a weekend, the park's not that jam-packed as he would've thought. Ron mused that maybe they would probably get on almost every ride without waiting for too long. In short, it is the most ideal situation for them. "We're gonna ride a ton of stuff, Ron. Don't wanna waste the free pass." By now, Kim's acting almost like a child on how giddy she's being, a far cry from her usual stoic self. And of he were to be honest, it made his heart palpitate in a faster rate "Okay. Is there something specific you want to ride first?"

"Yeah, about that... Actually!" Kim thought for a moment before remembering something. The freckled teen rose his brow slightly in curiosity as the redhead delinquent brought one of her hand right in front of him and said "I can count the number of times I've gone to an amusement park on one hand."

Tilting his head, the boy asked "Oh, really?" to which the girl replied "Delinquents don't go to places like amusement parks."

"Did you never go with your family?" He prodded more. Kim pouted at that and muttered "My mom and dad would always forget about us whenever we go to amusement parks and start playing back their youth. You think it's fun for me to watch my parents get in the pond and go 'Here I coooome!', and, 'Kyahh, it's cold~'?" Ron blushed at that as he imagined with his parents being all lovey-dovey in front of him. Although he would be happy that they're still romantic, but for a teenage boy, it would totally be traumatic to watch. "... No, I wouldn't think so."

Kim let out a sigh at that and continued "It's fine seeing them happy and all, but I'd wanna stay at least fifty meters away, you know?" She shakes her at that before returning to her cheerful self "So anyway! The amusement park's a pretty fresh concept for me today. So I wanna just ride them all."

Ron followed her line of sight and realized that she's staring at a tall roller coaster at the far left. He could feel his tongue recoil in fear from the sheer height of the tracks. Although he tried to hide his fear, Kim instantly caught on his phobia when she glanced over him and sighed "Don't worry, we won't go on the ones that go high." The blonde boy let out a nervous laugh and tried to act brave by saying "N-No, it's t-totally okay. F-For real."

She stared at him for a moment before smirking "Then, we'll start out with this 360-meter vertical drop one..."

And in an instant, his body shook from the intense fright. Kim let out a girlish giggle and said "Just kidding." She rubbed his back and tried to soothe him back to normal. "But, you said you'd come with me today, so at least go on one crazy ride with me, all right?" He looked at her, this time she had a gentle smile etched on her face. He nodded shakily at that, thinking he should be able to manage one thriller. He thought it would be more doable than a bunch of those in a row.

Her smile didn't last long as a smirk slowly returned to her face as she teased "Come on, show me your manly side, Ron! I'm on my first date ever today."

That line made his heart race faster than the thought of roller coasters. The word 'date' rung inside his head like a broken player. He'd thought of today as a date, but the fact is his heart leaped when he heard the infamous delinquent leader herself said it. Kim smiled at him as she looped her arm around his and started dragging him around "Let's go, Ron." With that, the two started walking around the amusement park, blushes adorning both of their cheeks, but they didn't paid it any mind.

Middleton High gates...

While the duo were enjoying their date, Joss stands in front of the rest of the Possible Corps in front of the school gates. She gave the watch on her hand a glance before shouting "All riiiiiight, we're all here!" The formed group started huddling around the brunette, who is now sporting a smirk on her face. "We broke down most of Food Chain on Wednesday. We can't let this opportunity go to waste! We're gonna corner them even more today. Let's completely ruin 'em and make it so they can't keep themselves together!"

One of the members spoke up and commented "If their sudden growth last week was because of momentum, then their momentum's pointing the opposite direction this week." A round of murmurs of agreement rang from them as another one spoke up "We certainly can't ignore this chance."

"But is it gonna be alright? Boss Kim ain't here." Someone suddenly asked, silencing the entire group. It was clear that they were anxious to move now that they're leader's nowhere to be seen, but instead of being disheartened, Joss just grinned at them and answered "Relax. It's gonna be a surprise attack, more or less. We'll just do what we can and book it."

Although they were a bit skeptical, the Bloody Fox's cousin saw a few of them slowly buying her idea. "So we're just going to 'help' them with going under." One female delinquent asked while chewing her gum obnoxiously. The short brunette smiled savagely at that and shouted "Right, you got it... All right! Let's go!" This time, the entire group erupted into cheers as they started marching towards their target, thoughts of complete dominance over their rivals filling their minds.

Amusement park...

Meanwhile, Ron was down on the asphalt the moment he stepped foot on the ground once more.

On the other hand, Kim was still smiling as she helped him to stand back again. "That was pretty fast, huh?" The blonde boy didn't reply, too preoccupied with controlling his shaking body. He felt like he had already shaved a few years off of his lifetime. Unfortunately for him, Kim was already eyeing another ride that seems to defy gravity as she gushed "All right, let's go on that one next." Before she could take a step towards it, Ron managed to grab her by the shoulder and said "I-I-I think I want a break from the free-fall ones."

Kim sighed at him and replied petulantly "That one doesn't fall, though. It just goes upside down." She sulked at him before an idea struck her. The redhead decide to unleash her secret weapon, making Ron unable to resist her that's never been used outside from her parents. She pushed her lips forward and formed a part as she tried to round her eyes more. Ron went wide-eyed from the display as he instinctively knew what was happening to him, but it was all too late. The Puppy Dog Pout is in full effect, and there was close to nil chance of him getting out of it.

He gritted his teeth as he tried to say no, but was unable to do so. She looked exceptionally cute with the pout. And so, he had no choice but to admit total defeat "Gh... F-Fine." The delinquent flashed him a smile on his answer and joyfully dragged him towards the attraction.

On a lighter note, Ron was proud that he avoided puking five times during the entire ride.

Ron felt like he was inside a washing machine as they tumbled in the air. He screamed in shrill fear while the redhead beside him was laughing all the way through. He closed his eyes as he start to feel dizzy from the motion, and prayed he would still be conscious after this. When the ride ended, Ron was, once again, down on the ground while Kim tried to smooth her now messy hair. "I didn't expect it to make my hair a mess." She muttered, to which Ron let out a snappy remark "It's the inside of my head and stomach that's a mess for me."

The redhead pouted at that and relented "Fine, I get it. We'll go on a tame one next." Her words felt like heaven to him as he start to get hopeful. Kim surveyed the area until she found something that would suit them. She pointed at the roller coaster whose cars are shaped like logs. "That one looks pretty good." She said.

And for the first time, Ron agreed. The two went towards the entrance and sat on the front end. What they didn't realize is that at the back end of the ride was a deep nose dive. And predictably, when they reached that point, Ron's screams rang throughout the entire area. "Hiieeeeeeh!" Although it was much less intimidating than the earlier ones, it was still traumatic for the boy. And so when they were finished, he wobbled out of the car, a great improvement considering how he felt the last time.

"That one wasn't great." Kim's brow furrowed slightly as she was feeling a bit disappointed on how less of a thrill it was. Ron nodded his head weakly and didn't react, thinking that the ride is still plenty damaging to weak people like him. The redhead teen watched as he still reels from the adrenaline flowing through his veins and pitied him. Although her thrill meter's not full yet, she suppose she could indulge with Ron's type of rides for a while. After all, it won't be a proper date if two parties doesn't enjoy it. And so, she sighed and said "Fine, fine. We'll go on something quiet next."

She looked around and saw a giant circular ride right at the center of the park. She nodded her head, feeling as if she struck on gold, and pointed "Hmm... Like the Ferris wheel."

Instead of calming down, Ron's body shook even stronger. Kim rose her brow in confusion until realization dawned on her. "Right, you're not good with heights." Ron felt very embarrassed at himself as he rubbed the back of his head and gave an apology "I-I'm very sorry." In his opinion, the Ferris wheel is the worst one to ride in, even if it is relatively slow.

Kim let out a sigh at that and reprimanded him "C'mon, man. That's pathetic. It's a classic for dates as well." Her words cut through him like knife through butter. He did agree that the ride was a staple for couples. And as much as he wanted to try it now, Kim wouldn't let him since she already knew what his stance with the rides is. Nonetheless, Kim still didn't give up and continued dragging him around, looking for somewhere else. They stopped in front of a large tent as Kim exclaimed "Oh, I know! There's another date classic."

The freckled teen tilted his head and asked "What is it?" to which Kim pointed and answered "The haunted hoooouse~"

Sure, ghost and all other supernatural entities is still in Ron's list of things he's scared of, but at least he was able to move by himself instead of the rides where he had no choice but to brave them. And so, he agreed with her and went inside the tent, albeit his grip on her arm was tighter than expected. And suffice to say, the experience he felt there was completely different.

Not a few minutes has passed and the couple went out of the tent, with Ron shaking his head in exasperation while Kim furrowed her brows and muttered "Boring." Ron let out a sigh and said "You're not supposed to punch the monsters." He was glad that he didn't break the Frankenstein moving doll with a dragon suplex. The security had no choice but to kick them out as the actors were complaining about his date's violent tendencies.

He looked over her and saw although she's frowning, her eyes were a bit misty and a deep blush adorning her cheeks. He watched her for a moment before blurting out "... Was it that scary for you?" The delinquent leader's eyes went wide from that and sputtered "I-It wasn't that scary! Just... well, I was surprised. And why are you totally fine? I thought you hated ghosts." The blonde teen stared at her with a deadpan and answered honestly "I was scared at first, until you started beating up the actors."

"You're not scared of delinquents, either... I don't get you sometimes, Ron." She shook her head as she tried to solve the puzzle that was the blonde boy. Said teen just let out a chuckle as he tried to tease back "Now, now. We both had fun. And I've never gotten to see you go 'Kyaaaahn!' before, either."

Kim glared at the smiling blonde for the jab. And so, she grabbed him by the hand and smiled sickly sweet at him "... We're going on a vertical drop one next. I want to ride the highest one." Ron's eyes went wide at that and started grovelling, but it all fell on deaf ears as Kim started exacting her revenge on the poor boy.

Inside an abandoned warehouse, Rockwaller business district...

Shego never was the social type, but ever since the Pickleworks ended, she always found herself sitting inside an abandoned warehouse where Food Chain's base is. She had no plans on joining them, that was definitely sure for her, but she can't pass the fact that there's food lying there with no one to eat it. After Kim's decimation of Food Chain, most of them went scrambling, making Food Chain shrink. Now, they barely at the one-hundred mark. And so, she had some slight satisfaction as she watch the defeated group lick their wounds.

All of that while munching on the burger on hand. "Pfaah! You know, you'd expect to get bored of burgers, but you just don't." She murmured. Her eating was, however, interrupted when a certain brunette female suddenly yelled at her "Get out of here, moron!"

Her temper didn't match hers, as the pale green girl tried to reason with her "C'mon man, don't be so cold. It's been rough for me lately. My steadiest source of food's just been cucumbers and tomatoes lately. The person who makes offerings to the church apparently started harvesting vegetables... and Stoppable's not around today either." Bonnie, unfortunately, wasn't having any of it as she shook her head vigorously and reacted "Like I caaare! The burger you're eating, that you stole from me, is a special offer that has Swiss Cheese in it!"

The glare she's sending wasn't reaching her, as Shego continued on munching on her food until she bit on something unexpected "Hafh, hafh... Gh! The hell's with this stinky cheese!? Pbt!"

Bonnie stared at her in shock before it turned into righteous fury. Clamping her hands into tight fists, she growled "Yooouuu fucking biiiiiiiiitchhh!" But before she could unleash her anger, the door was suddenly slammed open, making all of their heads turn towards it. "Bonnie Rockwalleeeeeeeer! Show yourself!" The boisterous voice of the Possible Corp's right hand yelled with a grin on her face. The Food Chain leader tilted her head in confusion "What?"

When Joss' eyes met hers, her grin widened and continued, not realizing at first that it wasn't just Food Chain she is in company of "There you are, Bonnie. Get ready for your last rites, 'cause the Possible Corps' second-in-command... Eek!"

The air of bravado she was carrying was gone the moment she saw Massacre also in the room, her brow raised in mild curiosity. Bonnie, however, didn't break her composure as a smirk slowly creep on her face "Oh, Joss... Tara, where's Kim?" Said blonde girl gathers her phone and looked for any information regarding the redhead. When she was sure of it, she then reported to her leader "No sign of her. Looks like it's just the small fry here."

"My informant was right, then. Thank God. I don't want to go up against her right now." She let out a small sigh of relief at that before returning to her smirking face "I'm sure you're here to try and corner Food Chain by taking the opportunity to attack us. Emmie. Angel." And in an instant, two of Food Chain's main fighters went in front. The giantess is already wanting to go towards them and pummel them to the ground while the masked girl was just standing still, staring at them with cold calculating eyes.

Joss grit her teeth from the sudden development as Bonnie continued her gloat "I've already planned for weaklings like you showing up. That's why we're so obviously holed up in this base. From my perspective, it's a good opportunity to strike back and 'recruit', don't you think?... Though, I didn't plan for a certain someone making them all run away before they commit."She looked around and the twenty-something group has been reduced to mere tens.

Meanwhile, Shego piped up as she held an empty bottle "Yo, you're outta mayo." A vein popped on Bonnie's forehead as she turned around and shouted "How many are you gonna fucking eat!?" She let out a agitated sigh at that before returning to the glaring relative of the Bloody Fox "But still... To think that the Possible Corps would be the first ones to take the bait. I guess I get the biggest pains first."

Her tone as if they were some pest didn't sit well with Joss as she tried to brave down her fear and said "I-I'm Kim's number one underling! I'm not gonna back down, no matter who's here!" The brunette delinquent leader narrowed her eyes from her dissent and wanted to growl when an idea struck her "... Is it really fine for you to not be with Possible today?" Although she's not letting her defiant face go, Joss was confused by her sudden question.

Bonnie smirked at her as she spelled it out for her. "Do you really understand the situation you're in now? I'd say every delinquent in Middleton... No. Every delinquent in the country knows about what happened on the Pickleworks by now. And you know how we delinquents are, right?"

"What the fuck are you on about?" Joss retaliated with anger in her voice, not quite getting what she's saying. Instead of anger, Bonnie laughed at her with scorn "You idiot... I'll admit it. Kim Possible is the strongest in Middleton right now. I can't deny that I lost during the Pickleworks. Do you understand what that means?" When Joss only rose her brows as her answer, Bonnie chuckled "It means that Possible's got a price on her head all across the country right now."

The implication of her words finally went through her as Joss' eyes went wide in revelation. Shego finished the fifth burger in hand and, for once, said in her serious voice "The more you add to your group, the more enemies you defeat. The more you accomplish anything, the more enemies you get. You should know that's the kinda world we live in."

Bonnie nodded her head at that and agreed with her statement "Though it's her we're talking about, so she'll probably just smash up anyone that goes for her... But..."

Amusement park...

A sudden flash of worry went through the redhead's brain after exiting their tenth ride. She can't quite explain it, but her thoughts went towards her cousin as she watched Ron rest on the bench. She remembered how she decided to not lead her plan on squishing the remnants of Food Chain, she mused that maybe they're disheartened enough to at least postpone the event. But, a voice deep down tried to tell her it wasn't the case. The blonde boy noticed her perplexed look and asked "Is something the matter?"

Shaking her head, Kim answered "No, it's Joss... I'm worried about that girl that's always with me." He recognized that name. Jocelyn Possible. She's the first year who's really enamored to her cousin. Kim let out a sigh as she told him "She said she was gonna go fight Food Chain today."

Ron nodded at her while commenting "I can't say I approve of that." to which Kim shakes her hand and said "Don't worry. She'll lose and get depressed and come back right away."

He stared at her incredulously and repeated her words slowly "... 'Don't worry'?" The redhead nodded her head and explained "Joss' an idiot, but she knows what she's doing. She'll run away once she realizes she doesn't stand a chance. Also, Bonnie's got her own plans, so she's not gonna hurt someone under my name at this point." Ron didn't quite fully understand the politics of the delinquent world, but if it means that the short brunette was safe, then there's nothing to fear. Kim brought her phone up and ended with "I'll send her a text later. Anyway, let's go on that one next, Ron."

She then started dragging him towards another attraction, her buoyant joy back in place. They've been riding non-stop for a while now, and her enthusiasm hasn't even wavered a bit. Although he's starting to get tired, he still wanted to be by her side if she wanted to continue. And so, he let her lead the way and tried to spend as much time with her as he can inside the amusement park.

While in line, Kim looked up and saw white billowing clouds high above and said "It's a good thing it was cloudy for once." Ron looked upwards, too, and murmured "Yeah, but I'm a little worried about the rain, though." He looked over the far end and saw some grey clouds that were starting to dim darker. Kim's smile faltered when she saw that but she quickly hid it and whispered "Yeah, but... I don't think it would rain that much, so I'm still thankful for that."

He did caught her expression dampening for a moment. He didn't really wanted to spoil the moment, but they just can't go against Mother Nature. "The weather forecast said there's 70% chance of rain this evening, though. I think it might start coming down soon."

The clouds were gradually creeping up, replacing the white ones with grey. Her face looked like they were also heavy for a moment, making the blonde boy curse himself for his idiocy. Kim's head droop down, her bangs covering her eyes before speaking up once again, this time with more determination on her voice "... Come on. Let's get our fill before it starts raining." Ron didn't say anything else as he lets her do anything she wanted to.

A few minutes later, riverside road...

The sky has turned dark as thunder softly rumbled across the area. Monique looked up and let out a frown "Looks like it's going to rain." She watch the pedestrians rushing their walks, in hopes to get into shelter before the rain falls, and thought maybe she should do the same. With that, she started walking in a brisk pace. Turning on the intersection, she saw Josh, who was also walking faster than normal. "Oh, President." Josh greeted when he eventually noticed her.

Monique smiled at him and waved her hand in greeting "Hey there, Josh. What a coincidence." The tall blonde boy nodded his head and pointed behind him "Yeah. Ron's apparently busy today, so I have nothing to do." The curly girl smiled at that, knowing well what the freckled teen's been up to this time. She was about to bid farewell to him when she heard horns blaring behind her. A group of motorcycle riders went past her, almost hitting her if it weren't for Josh's quick reflexes. The riders laughed at them while speeding down the road.

Josh glared at the retreating group and muttered "They've shown up in droves again. Those people really just love Middleton." Monique wasn't hyperventilating, but she's still in shock on how close it was for her to be hurt badly. "H-How scary. I didn't know what to think, considering how Kim Possible usually is." The budding artist nodded his head at that and said "Kim Possible is an anomaly among delinquents. They are usually all the same."

Meanwhile, Adrena was waiting for her car in the repair shop. Currently, she's fiddling with her phone with a bored expression. "Ughh. I need my daily allotment of Ronshine." The elder sibling muttered out loud. She looked over the convenience store and pondered "I know it's still the middle of the day, but maybe I'll get myself a drink."

After telling the mechanic that she'll be back in a minute, she went out. Before she could cross the street, a voice called her from the side "Oh, Adrena. Nice to see you." She turned around and saw the old woman who was their neighbor. Adrena gave the elder woman a smile "Oh, hello, grandma!" A cat popped from the basket she's carrying and eyed the teacher with curious eyes. But before she could gush on how cute the feline was, she sense some trouble when the sound of horns were registered by her ear.

When she turned towards the street, she saw a gang of motorcycle drivers running at full speed. With her quick reflexes, Adrena grabbed the old lady with her arms as she shouted "Watch out!" The elder yelped as she felt the wind brush her from the motorcycles. One rider gave them the middle finger and sneered "Get the fuck outta the way, you old hag!"

The elder sibling of the Stoppable household glared at their backs. "Do they really have to go that fast on a road like this? They could've hurt someone!" The neighbor and her cat looked unharmed, so there was nothing left to do but help them to stand up. Adrena let out a sigh at that and muttered "Sigh. Middleton's just so..."

A drop of liquid landed on top of the feline's head, making their heads turn upwards. The sky was so dark and heavy. Another drop of water now went to the cat's head. "Oh... It's already raining." With that, Adrena helped her to stand up and went inside the mechanic's shop before the rain worsens.

Outside the amusement park...

The couple were fortunate that they were under the bus stop when the rain poured. It was thanks to Ron's intuition that they got to shelter before they were caught in the rain. Ron watched the droplets fall down the ground while Kim pouted "Man, I wanted to ride the coffee cups."

"Ahaha. It might not have been worth it to challenge the haunted house the second time." Ron pointed out. The redhead delinquent shook her head at that and smiled proudly. "No, it was worth it. 'Cause I didn't freak out the second time." The drizzle has now turned into a downpour, and so they have no choice but to stay underneath the bus stop. Fortunately for him, that meant he still get to be with her, so he took great pleasure on that thought.

Since they can't reach the train station, the two decided to go back home thru the bus line. That also meant that their travel time would be longer, not that they minded the extra minutes. After all, the two were still hesitant on ending the date.

Kim let out a sigh and muttered "Sigh... There was still stuff I wanted to ride. Like the coffee cups and the Ferris wheel..." Ron patted her on the shoulder and gave her a gentle smile "Don't worry, it's fine. We can just go on those next time." The redhead looked at his brown eyes, not quite sure if she heard him right, or if she's just overthinking about his words. The blonde boy, on the other hand, looked at her partially wet hair and felt his heart to almost burst. He would be stupid to not do this again, and so he repeated "We can go again sometime."

Although she blushed on his assertiveness, the Bloody Fox smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah... Or actually, I dunno about the coffee cups, but you should at least be able to ride the Ferris wheel." The mention of the dreaded ride made his eyes twitch, but he agreed nonetheless "Gh... O-Okay."

His answer made her giggle lightly. When the two went into comfortable silence, the smile was gone, but the blush remained "... I want to ride the Ferris wheel together... I wanted to..." Ron looked at her with confusion, to which Kim shook her head and tried to cover it up with another topic "... A-Anyway, you need an umbrella? There was a convenience store back there. I-I can go back there and buy two of-" He smiled and shook his head as he produced an umbrella from his bag "It's fine. I got one."

"Oh, all right. Then I'll go buy one and..." And before she could go out while the rain stopped for a while, a hand stopped her. The freckled teen gave her his idea "Why not just do this?" Opening the umbrella, he went near her and hovered it above them. Kim was first at shock from the sudden closeness, but eventually she blushed but still accepted the gesture. Putting her shoulder next to his, she smiled at him. Ron smiled back and was about to start walking when he felt his body suddenly being jerked back.

His eyes instinctively closed as he anticipated the impact. During that time, however, he could hear some crunching and skidding noises in front of him. When he hit the ground, he quickly opened the eyes and saw the smile that was on her face was no longer there. Kim's eyes narrowed as she threw the bent umbrella she used to intercept the sudden attack into the asphalt road. One brawny guy cursed "Shit! I missed."

Another one brandishing his brass knuckles sneered at him "What the fuck are you doing? You gotta finish it in one hit!" Suddenly a gang of unruly-looking people encircled the them. It's a sight that he's been starting to get well-accustomed to, but there was still some lingering fear gnawing inside of him. Although he wouldn't call himself an expert about delinquents, he had been interacting with them a lot more than the average people, so he had more knowledge. And the aura they're emitting felt blood-thirsty.

Meanwhile, Kim grunted "Goddammit. I wanted to end this on a high note." Her glare made some of the hooligans to back down for a moment, but their team leader shouted "Don't get scared of that bitch. Just look how many of us there are compared to her."

"... This always happens to me, doesn't it?" She took in a deep breath before raising her fists "Come at me... I'll pummel you!" Her shout startled the group, leaving them wide open. But, before she could lay a single hand on them, Ron reached out to her and called "Kim!" His voice quickly quelled a significant chunk of her anger. She didn't want to bloody her hands today, especially since she's still on her date. And so, understanding came to her and whispered "... We're going with the usual."

Ron was quick on the uptake as he nodded his head. On the other side of the spectrum, the leader was yelling at them "Stop pissing yourselves! We're gonna have Possible's head today and-" His speech was abruptly cut off when he was hit by a swift punch courtesy of the redhead. Naturally, he leaned backwards, reeling from the pain, making an opening for the duo to get out. The two bolted out of the area amidst the cries and curses from the thugs. They were revving their motorcycle engines when they turned the intersection.

While running, Ron asked "Where will be hiding!?" to which Kim answered honestly "We can't go home... It's too far away. The police station's also a no-go..." When they could hear the sound of the gang's vehicles, they decided to take a detour and enter one of the cramped alleyways. After gaining some distance from them, the boy suggested "Maybe a store somewhere?"

The redhead delinquent leader shook her head negatively and replied "I don't think they're the kind of people who care about stores and the like. They might come smash up the whole store if we go in." Ron understood her reasoning and was about to suggest another place when they heard the sneers from the biker gang "You're not getting away from us, you bitch!" Kim stared at him with sad eyes and let out a sigh, making said blonde to look at her oddly before she dragged him and run once again.

Inside Middleton High...

It had been more than half an hour and the two had already reached the school gates from their run. Today was a Sunday, so there were no people inside. Ron thought it would be the best option to hide there and call the police. And so, he turned around and tell his plan to the redhead. But before he could utter a word, he noticed the forlorn look on her face, as if she just went through a Great War. "K-Kim?" He called her hesitantly, causing the teen girl to look up to him.

A brief flash of pain shone from her eyes before letting out a sigh. Now that his worry had increased, Kim stood up and whispered "Sorry this always has to happen, Ron." He rose his brow and tried to shake off the gloomy aura she's starting to radiate "Don't worry. It's not your fault."

Unfortunately, Kim held her hand up, signalling to stop him, and spoke "No, it's my fault. It's because of the way I live my life." Standing up, Kim faced the other direction and ordered "... I'll be back in five minutes. Go find some cover in the meanwhile." With that, she started walking out, causing the blonde boy to try and catch up to her. He tried to protest but the teen was already adamant on her decision. "Running away isn't bad... But it looks like I'm just not that good at it."

Ron stood still from her words while the Bloody Fox started sprinting towards the gate. They're using bikes, so they can't go over the walls. And so, the only way for them to reach her is by using the gate. What they didn't realize is that they all gathered in one spot. Add in the fact that they never expect the redhead to retaliate, they were in for a surprise when they saw her, in all her glory, charging at them like a wild animal. And for the next few minutes, all Ron could hear was the sound of wailing against the backdrop of the rain.

He turned around once he realize that this wasn't like any of the beatdown Kim usually employs. The way she's bending and crunching their bones made Ron shiver from the sheer anger coming off of her. He could hear their bikes being thrown and crashing everywhere. There were pleas and begging for forgiveness, but at that moment, the redhead was relentless. The Bloody Fox roared like a beast and continued pummeling them into a pulp until all of them went out of consciousness.

When all he could hear was the sound of the rain, he turned around and saw Kim standing stonily right in the center of the mass of bodies lying on the ground, bloodied, while their motorcycles were completely smashed. The bark backdrop of the sky made it looked like a murder scene as Kim grabbed her phone and called the paramedics and the police onto the area. After that, instead of walking, she just stood there, her head facing up to the heavens with a broken face.

Ron slowly went to her and greeted "W-Welcome back... Let's get inside and wait for the ambulance to arrive." When she turned towards him, the look that Ron saw made his heart break. Although there was some sort of spark from his words, it went into nothingness as her eyes were totally devoid of any emotion. It almost felt like she reached into a conclusion that made her lose hope. She didn't sport any injury like the ones around them, but her lack of reaction felt like something other than her physical body was affected.

She agreed and started walking, but she didn't say anything else. They went inside the building as they wait the authorities to arrive with Kim curling up on the floor, looking like an abandoned cat shivering from the torrential rain.

The police and paramedics arrived shortly after, and the two explained to the officers about the events that had happened. It took them a lot of talking, but eventually they were released without being sent to the station while the injured delinquents were rushed towards the hospital. It was already night time when the last of the cars went out, leaving the two teens alone. The two were silent for a long while, not sure what to say after the sudden turn of their date, until Kim decided to start first "... Thanks for today... No. Thanks for these past few weeks or so, Ron. It was fun... It really was..."

Although she was smiling, Ron felt something akin to terror as she uttered those words. "K-Kim..." He called out to her but Kim shook her head. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to gather what strength she has left and tried to tell her the words she was so scared of saying "... But, it looks like it's gonna end here."

Ron went still at that as Kim's eyes went misty from the sheer pain she's feeling inside "I'm a delinquent. This is the life I've decided to live. I'm different from you." Completely speechless, the boy's head dropped low, feeling incredibly heartbroken from her words. Meanwhile, the redhead turned her face away, fearing he would see her at her lowest and said with a bit more force "So... I can't be with you anymore. 'Cause you'll get hurt if I half-ass it."

Not wanting to hear any more of that, he went near her and tried to appease her "W-What? I'm fine with the stuff that's happening. I'm not complaining, at all!" The redhead looked back at him with sad eyes and shook her head "But I'm not fine with it. I was... scared about today. I was worried about you being in harm's way again, just like the Pickleworks festival. I shouldn't have asked you to come with me... But, I was selfish. I wanted to go on a date with you. And in the end, I practically forced you to join me."

Sighing, she stared at his chocolate eyes, not minding that her tears were now mixing with the rain, and apologized "Sorry. I'm the worst. I wasn't thinking about what might happen to you."

"I-I wanted to go on a date with you, too." He whispered while hanging his head down. It was too much for the freckled teen. It felt like his heart was ripped out and was slashed a million times. He wanted to be with her, too. But it looked like their worlds seems to force them apart. His confession made her breath hitched for a moment, but she shook her head and replied "... Thanks. But... the answer is clear. I hoped we'd be fine today. People are gonna find out what happened on the day of the festival, and there'll be a lot more coming after me. I thought today would be the last day before that."

Kim narrowed her eyes at the thought of them trying to hurt him and continued "I underestimated them. Look how many come today. They were no slouches, either. There'll be even more tomorrow." She let out a sigh as she combed her hair with her fingers "I'll be fine, 'cause that's how it's always been for me. But you..."

Ron didn't say anything back, since he knew she's right. She can't play savior all the time, especially when all of the underworld's eyes are on her. He doesn't have any ability to protect himself from people like them. When she saw him slowly coming to a realization, she tried her best to smile gently at him as she held to her tears "See? So... Gh, s-so let's... end it here." She was already choking at that point as he turned his face upwards into the dark sky, feeling the water hitting his face.

He doesn't really understand, but he can't refute her claims.

What she said about the upcoming problems was right. In fact, he couldn't find any flaws with her argument. The fact that he can't help but accept them made it even more painful for him. It's still raining, a great contrast to how he viewed his summer is. But, he felt like it was something other than the rain that's been dropped harder today. He felt like he was on a standstill, caught in between two choices that could shake up his entire life either way.

All reasoning point to just end his first love then and there. It had it's good run, and to be completely honest, despite his newfound acquaintances who revel in the delinquent world, he was still opposed to its core. He could relish the fond memories of his time with the Bloody Fox right within the safe space of his own ordinary world. Truly, all signs were for agreeing with her, and if it took him any longer, he would've already started walking away.

But, he made the mistake of looking at her.

She was standing there, her head hung low, hiccuping from the stream of tears rolling off of her face. It made him look back to the time when he first saw a side none of his friends saw. A picture of the stoic delinquent huddled over the small stray cat, caring for it at the backdrop of the rain. The very same rain they were in now. How could he even suppose to think of letting something that precious go? What he learned during that time, the feelings he felt when with her, the pain and struggle he took, all the joy and sorrow, how can he just turn his back on that? After all that has happened, could he even just leave it as that?

With his hands curling up into fist, Ron shouted against the rain "I LIKE YOU, KIM POSSIBLE!"

Kim's eyes went wide from his shout shout and muttered "Wha? Gh, y-you've told me that already." Ron shook his head and reiterated "It's different from back then. I REALLY LIKE YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!" Her eyes wavered and averted his intense stare "R-Ron..."

He went near her and pleaded "So don't tell me that it's over. I want to be with you more. I want to go on more dates with you. I want to come to like you more and more. I don't want this to be the end. Because this is the first time I've ever felt this way. I won't let it end half-assed like this!" He grovelled at her feet and continued "I don't care about the complicated stuff, like you being targeted or me being in danger. We can think about it later. But the heart of the matter is I like you, Kim. That's all I can think of, even at this moment."

She didn't reply, but Ron thought that he might be starting to get through her, and so he went in further "You're right. I can't do anything. I can't say that I'll protect you or myself if people come after us like they did earlier. But..." Ron closed his eyes, trying to fight back the tears and doubts that was pestering him all this time. Kim looked at him with a mixture of sorrow and anticipation, and asked "But?"

"... I can at least become able to ride the Ferris wheel with you." He promised. And in an instant, Kim's hard shell was shattered, to the point that she didn't even cared if she cried in front of him. She knew about his fears, and yet, he would still try to brave and swallow it for her sake. He had always been extraordinary for her ever since they met. Although from the outside he's a wimpy kid that was too much of a goody-two-shoes for her taste, but as he come to know him more, she started to fall for him more and more.

To be completely honest, she thought he was the manliest male she had ever met. And now with how serious his expression was while looking deep inside her soul, she can't help but smile. Ron saw the fire starting to burn back to her eyes as he made one final push. "... What about you? How do you feel about me?"

It was now or never, and Kim's mind has finally made up. She can't pretend to be strong in front of him. As much as she prided herself as the strongest delinquent in Middleton, she knew that it wouldn't mean much when it comes to matters of the heart. And for the first time since early childhood, she felt small and defenseless. But instead of anger, she felt happiness. With that, she closed her eyes and gathered her breath before blurting out "... I like you."

Her voice started shaking, but the redhead had never felt any lighter than now, as she repeated her words with greater force "I like you!... I like you, I really do!... I LOVE YOU!" She grabbed him and wrapped her arms around him as she sobbed to his chest. She was openly crying, but to her, it felt oddly therapeutic. Meanwhile, Ron gave her a wobbly smile as he envelop her around his arms as he, too, started to cry. Kim leaned to his body, taking every part of him as close to her as she could while Ron whispered "We can't end it here, then. I won't let it end here."

Kim's head went up and was shocked to see him also in tears. "R-Ron... Kh, uhh, uhhh..." He caressed her cheek with one hand and smiled "D-Don't cry. We're both so happy." Kim blushed at the intimate affection as she tried to dish out a retort "S-Shut up! It's your fault for saying you like me. And you're crying too."

"I can't help it. It's because you said you like me." He then pressed her forehead with his own as he whispered the last part "... And I won't get tired of saying I like you." With that, he captured her lips and savored this very moment to its fullest. Instinctively, Kim's eyes closed as she, too, enjoyed the kiss under the pouring rain. Their hearts were all in flutters. Kim moaned his name as she become too engrossed with the tingling sensation on her mouth.

All complicated stuff were eradicated from their brains. The two didn't give any damn on who would target them. The struggles of being the strongest in Middleton were put on the back burner, just for this moment. The only thing that matters to them is the one they're holding onto. They can reach out and grasp hands. He's there with her, and she's right next to him. That was all that matters to them.

When the two finished their liplock session, Ron remembered something and said "Oh, I forgot." Kim rose her brow with curiosity as Ron started kneeling down on one knee and spoke "Kim Possible. I, Ronald Dean Stoppable, have fallen in love with someone for the first time in my life. So... Would you please be my girlfriend?" For a few seconds, Kim was silent, and Ron was starting to get worried that it was all for naught, until Kim grabbed his face and answered her before diving back to his face:

"Yes!"

A/N's: Aaaaaaand, cut! It is official, the two are now proper boyfriend/girlfriend! That was pretty long-winded, but I hope it was all worth it! Now, for a few more notes. Although we've officially moved on from the introductory stage, there will still be new characters that will be revealed in the near future. All those who seemed absent from the earlier parts would appear them. And trust me, they still have the same, if not more, relevance to the story like canon. And that includes the newest character in the fandom, Athena! So stay tuned for more details!

Anyway, what do you guys think? Don't be shy and leave a review to tell me about your thoughts. Also, don't forget to put this in your alert and following lists so you can be updated. That's it. Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys later.
