A Hopeless Romantic
Kim plopped back down onto the floor.
"Any ideas, Ron?"
"No, KP," Ron said with a sigh.
"Do you think Rufus could squeeze through those bars?"
"He could, easily, only problem is, with his size, he will get seriously electrocuted.
Kim sat for a moment, then, figuring she wasn't going to make it through this mission alive, she acted on impulse and laid her head in Ron's lap. Ron seemed a bit worried.
"Kim, are you all right? The effects of that shock should've worn off by now."
"I'm okay, Ron. But, since these are, most probably, our last moments together, I'm going to tell you what's been bothering me all day."
"Okay, shoot."
Kim sat up and looked into Ron's deep brown eyes.
"Well . . I . . RonyoumeanalottomeandIrealisedthismorninghowmuchI-."
"Kim, Kim! Slowdown, I can't understand a word you are saying!" Ron cried. Kim stopped and tried again, this time with more control.
" . . I love you."
Ron stared at her for a moment.
"Kim . ."
"- I know, you couldn't possibly like me back, because you've got a thing for Tara but-"
"-Kim."
"-And I know I'm bossy and-"
"-Kim!"
"What?"
"I love you, too."
"But . . Tara!"
"Oh, Tara. Well, she's really nice and all, and pretty, but I've been doing some thinking . ."
Kim leaned closer to Ron, hanging on his every word. Ron continued. "Tara isn't the girl for me, and soon I realized that when you got shocked and I was cradling your head in my lap. I know we're friends but, I found that I wanted to be more than a friend to you, Kim. . . Kim?"
Kim stared at him, not knowing what to say. She had been so sure that he would never love her back, and here he was doing just that!
"Kim?"
Kim pulled herself out of her thoughts.
"Yes?"
" . . May I kiss you?"
"Of course, Ron, you didn't have to ask."
"Well, I just wanted to make sure that-"
"Just kiss me, Ron," Kim said with a loving grin.
"You are so bossy," Ron whispered, with a smile as he leaned forward. Then, cupping her face in his hands, he kissed her gently on the lips.
A few feet away, Shego was studying the two lovers with a wistful sigh. She hadn't had time for a boyfriend ever since she joined up with Drakken. She-
"Shego!" The voice of Drakken interrupted her thoughts. "What's the hold up? We should've eliminated those two meddling kids five minutes ago!"
"Shhh!" Shego hissed.
"Wh-" Drakken began but Shego clapped a gloved hand over his mouth.
"Look," she directed. Drakken looked, and a soft spot was stirred in his heart.
Shego looked at Dr. Drakken, surprised that he was actually affected by the scene. "Drakken isn't that bad," she thought, "a little dense, but not that bad. He could lose the ponytail, though." Shego, then, spoke out loud. "Come on, Dr. Drakken," she said pulling at his arm.
"Where are we going?"
"We're leaving," she declared as she switched off the electrobeam on the cage bars.
"Why?"
"We're giving them a break."
"What's come over you, Shego?"
"I'm a hopeless romantic. Besides, we can come back for the laser and use it for something else."
"Okay," Drakken said with a smile. Shego smiled back. He liked her smile. Drakken hit the button to open the cage door. Then he offered Shego his arm. With a grin, Shego took it.
"Asian food, tonight, Shego?" Drakken asked.
"I'd love that! You know, I know this Japanese restaurant called Sakura, where they cook right infront of you, it's really nice."
"Then it's a date!" Drakken declared.
The confused lovers, Ron and Kim, looked in the direction Drakken and Shego walked in.
"You have any idea what just happened here?" Ron asked.
"No, and I'm not going to question it," was Kim's reply and the two leaned in for another kiss.
And as all my stories shall end:
They lived happily ever after
