Chapter 2: The Final Insult
By "Dory"
A/N: Hmm . I know people probably don't read these things so I'll just say a few words .. besides the fact I don't own Kim Possible (gasp! Really?!) I'd just like to say I feel so squeaky compared to many of the great authors here! (My favorite KP stories: Matrix: Resurrections & End of Resistance! Mwah, excellent stories!) Anyways, just a little background, I'm a freshman in high school in southern California. A crazy little 14 year old who loves to draw and write and experiment new things (usually). My future plans are that I want to be an animator and I hope to go to CalArts (but that's a dream), and I hope I just get better at what I do. I got the idea for the this story from one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time 'It's a Wonderful Life', even though I'm Jewish (just like Ron!), we Jews can still watch Christmas movies, lol. And anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my story, and have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!
Now on with the next chapter .
Chapter 2: The Final Insult (ignore that I've put the chapter title twice, lol).
Kim held open the door to the theatre for Ron, he sighed, "Thank you" and scooted into the freezing room. Snow entered along with them and Kim shivered as she shut the door. It wasn't the snow that was cold, there was a sense of anger and a different kind of cold that filled the room. That meant, oh great, Bonnie's mad, again.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN KIM POSSIBLE?!" Told you Bonnie was mad.
Kim was more concerned over Ron, as he sat down into one of the theatre's seats, resting his elbows on his knees, as his hands held his head from falling. Rufus was already back to work, of course. Bonnie stormed over holding the script in one hand, making a fist with the other.
"We tried to stop Drakken and Shego from stealing some stuff from a museum," Kim sighed, "We failed, but I mean, at least we're back, right?"
"Wrong! You know if tonight wasn't the performance, I would have totally booted you, your sidekick, and the little weasel out of here hours ago!"
Monique was carrying some props across the stage, she stopped near the edge closest to where Kim and Bonnie were, "you failed?" she gasped, shocked. Who ever heard of Possible and Stoppable actually failing a mission?
Kim didn't respond, but Ron made a load groan, and at this point, everyone in the theatre was silent, out on stage, and watching the conversation, a few whispered, "failed?", but only for a moment, and then there was total silence.
"Yeah, we failed, and it was all my fault, you happy?" Ron glanced up to the stage, and again there was silence.
Kim looked at Ron, and then slowly walked over to him, "Ron, it's ok," She was really hoping no matter what he wouldn't make a scene. That was the last thing he needed.
Bonnie rolled her eyes, sarcasm leaked from her mouth, "Oh like that's a big surprise, Stoppable ruins the play, Stoppable ruins Kim's mission. Lucky two for two today, now GET BACK TO WORK!"
Almost in a twist, everyone was chattering again, Kim sighed and went back onto the stage. She hated taking orders from Bonnie, especially when she did them without any care whatsoever. Kim looked back to Ron, who still sat there, she really should have gone back to talk to him, but she didn't know what she could say.
She didn't have to say anything, Ron dragged his feet up the stage, hearing whispers all around him, "You know I bet Kim would do a lot better with out him", "I'm surprised they don't fail more often!"
The rehearsing continued, and Ron messed up even more, he couldn't keep is concentration, even in the happy scenes. From backstage, Kim and Monique sighed, watching Ron try his best under the heavy weights of pressure now on him.
"Girl, I've never seen Ron this sad," Monique shook her head, "So what did happen?"
Kim looked at Ron, then back to Monique, she sighted and took a sip of water from her glass, "Shego pushed Ron, he hit the wall hard, and I ran to his side, then the villains escaped. That's about it."
Monique laughed, but then shook her head when Kim's face almost grew angry, "Oh, no, I don't think it's funny. It's just that he caused only one thing to happen. For you to care about him, I mean, you could have run after Drakken, but that's not you to leave your best friend behind like that. Ron's guilty of one thing, being him, and no one can yell at him for that!"
Kim smiled, for the first time in such a long while, "You're right Monique."
At that moment, while everyone was on a minute break, Ron overhead part of Kim's sentence, "It is Ron's fault when you put it that way," and they laughed. At that moment Ron's heart cracked in half.
"ALRIGHT ALREADY!" his voice echoed almost as loud as Bonnie's voice, and everyone stopped, and stared at him, "FINE IT IS MY FAULT .. whatever, I don't care anymore!" Ron ran off stage and ran out the door, as heavy snowfall poured down, he yelled to himself, "I wish I was never born." And with that he disappeared out the door.
CRASH!
Monique looked down to see Kim had dropped her glass of water; Kim had a horrified expression on her face. What had just happened?
Kim gulped, "W-well, Rufus is with him at least, right?" Kim looked at Monique, expecting she held the answer. Almost suddenly they heard a squeaky cry, and they looked at their feet to see Rufus crying.
Everyone almost instantly turned their heads to Bonnie, she looked around with an annoyed look, "What?!"
Ron ran through the snow, as fast as he could, he wasn't sure if he meant everything he said, but it felt like it some how. His mind told him they were all right, no one need Ron, there was no such thing as "the Ron factor" it was all just garbage. Oh the horrible minds we all hold, always trying to make sense, but never getting any further than we think we've gotten.
"Ronald Stoppable," A childish voice called out, making every vowel in his name stretch out long.
Ron blinked, not too far in front of him he saw a young Kim, she continued to talk, "Come on Ron, we're going to be late!"
Confused, Ron shook his head, all this snow and freezing cold temperatures were making him hear and see things, and his breath practically turned to ice as he replied back, "Wait for me Kimmie!"
Who ever that young Kim was, real or not, it replied back, and for a moment Ron felt younger and happier again, "Mister Stoppable! I'm not gonna wait for you forever you know!"
Ron shook his head, "Yes you'll have to Kim!"
"And why is that?" This must have been Kim, it had to be, Ron closed his eyes and opened them, and that vision of young Kim was still there, he fell to his knees, trembling.
"Because I'm gonna marry you Kimberly Ann! And then you'll have to wait for me." Ron replied back, he suddenly remembered this conversation; he had it with that same young Kim when they were seven years old, before the missions, before the danger, before the pain that was today.
Young Kim suddenly disappeared and Ron felt alone again, and extremely cold. He didn't know why he was having these visions of Kim, he just felt cold, sad, and needed someone.
Up in the heavens, we hear two voices talking to each other, a female voice comments, "We have to help him, he's starting to see and hear things."
A male voice replied, "What can we do? He just wished that he never was born, we're going to have to grant him that wish."
The female raised an eyebrow, "Why? He's wished for a life time supply of nacos, we never granted him that wish. And I'm quite glad we didn't, come to think of it."
The male replied to her, "He needs out help, and he needs to learn a lesson. Plus we need to get him out of there, fast!"
"Why?" The female suddenly gasped.
"Because he's laying in the middle of the road, and a car is coming fast. We need to make a decision, NOW." The two looked at each other, and then to Ron, who lay helpless in the street.
To Be Continued.
