Chapter title: Morris Richards

Yes, I have started another story! I like to keep myself busy! hehe. Yeah, anyway, here's the first chapter and I hope you all like it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A redhead walked through the halls of Middleton High School. In her arms were loads of books for her many different classes.

"Hey KP!" called a blond haired boy.

"What Ron?" the girl asked.

"Do you want some help with those?" the boy - Ron Stoppable - asked.

"No, that's alright. I got them." Kim Possible replied as she reached her locker. Kim Possible and her best friend, Ron, were a team. Not only were they best friends, but they also fought against crime and continually saved the world from supervillains.

Kim opened the locker and set her books off to the side of the computer she had in her locker. This was one of the ways she communicated with Wade, a ten year old super genius that ran Kim's website and helped her with missions - although neither Kim nor Ron had ever seen him in the flesh. He was always in his room.

"So do you want to go to Bueno Nacho with me after cheerleading practice?" Ron asked.

Kim shrugged as she shut her locker. "Sure."

Ron followed her to the gym. Inside the gym were the many cheerleaders stretching and just getting ready for practice.

"Ok team, is everyone ready?" Kim asked after she had stretched out.

"Yeah." some of the cheerleaders responded.

Kim looked around. "Wait. Where's Bonnie?"

"Don't have a cow, Kim." came a taunting voice. "I'm right here."

Kim rolled her eyes as she looked at the doors. There was Bonnie Rockwaller walking in hand in hand with Morris Richards, the new boy at school. All the girls at school thought that he was totally cute with his curly dark-brown hair and even darker green eyes. He stood about six foot and was very strong.

"It's about time, Bonnie." Kim retorted. "Come on. Let's practice. The competition is less than two weeks away."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "I've gotta go Morris. Meet me tonight?"

Morris flashed a beautiful smile. "Alright. Dress nicely. I'm going to take you to a nice restaurant." He gave Bonnie a kiss on the forehead.

Ron mad a gagging face and it was all Kim could do to keep from laughing. She looked at the squad. "All right team, let's go!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After practice, Ron and Kim headed to Bueno Nacho to grab a bite to eat.

"Can you believe that that Morris guy would go out with Bonnie?" Kim asked as Ron scarfed his nacho down.

"Yeah, he's gotta be one dumb guy." Ron said with his mouth stuffed as full as possible with nachos.

"Yeah." Kim agreed as she cut off a slice of her burrito and ate it. A hairless rodent crawled out of Ron's pocket. It was Ron's pet Rufus, a naked mole rat. He crawled up next to Ron's plate of nachos and helped himself to almost half of them.

Soon, the three were done and heading home.

"See ya tomorrow Ron." Kim said.

"Yeah. Later KP!" Ron called back as they each turned the different directions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, KP, did you hear the news?" Ron asked the next day at school.

"What news?" Kim replied as she took a few of her books out of her locker.

"That Morris broke up with Bonnie." came a voice behind them. It was Kim's friend, Monique, an African-American girl who loved to talk about cloths and the stuff normal teenage girls do.

"How do you two know this?" Kim asked.

"Because it's all around the school." Monique replied. "And word has it that he's going to ask you out!"

Kim rolled her eyes as she closed her locker. "Why would I go out with a guy that went out with Bonnie?"

"But Kim, he broke up with her because she was too much of a snob." Monique replied. "Besides, he likes you."

"Yeah right. It's probably some kind of trick Bonnie's trying to pull." Kim replied as the three started walking down the hall.

"I don't think so KP." Ron replied. "She didn't look like she was trying something. And we all know that she isn't a great actress."

Kim shrugged. "Maybe. Maybe not. I'm so not taking that chance!"

"Alright." Monique said.

"But it would be kind of cool if he did ask me out." Kim remarked. "He is cute."

Before Monique or Ron could reply, the bell began to ring.

"I'll see you later Kim!" Monique called as she turned and walked the other way.

"Yeah. See ya!" Kim called back as she and Ron turned into their homeroom class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, Kim Possible?" came a voice that caused Kim to turn around.

"Yeah?" Kim replied when she saw that it was Morris.

"Can I talk with you?" Morris asked.

Kim shrugged. "Yeah, sure." she replied as they started walking.

"You know, you seem like such a nice girl . . . nicer that Bonnie that's for sure." Morris started.

Kim smiled.

"And I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me sometime." Morris finished, flashing a beautiful smile. Morris seemed so thoughtful . . . like he was the perfect gentleman. How could Kim say no?

"I'd like that." Kim answered.

"Great!" Morris exclaimed. "Pick you up tomorrow at 7?"

"Oka. . ." Kim started, but then remembered something. "Ooh. Tomorrow's not a good day for me. Me, Ron, and Monique were going to the movie's."

"Oh." Morris replied, looking a little depressed. "Hey, why don't I come along with you?"

Kim wanted to tell him no, that this time was just for the three of them, but then she felt guilty about not wanting to include him. Kim smiled and nodded. "Alright. I'm sure they wouldn't mind."

"Cool." Morris replied as he walked away just as Ron and Monique met up with Kim.

"What was that all about?" Ron asked when he saw Morris leaving.

"Guys, do you mind if Morris tags along on our trip to the movies tomorrow?" Kim asked.

Monique shook her head. "No. It'll be fun!"

However, Ron looked less than enthusiastic. "But, Kim, this was the time for us three to bond!"

"I know Ron, but I didn't want to not include him. He's really nice." Kim replied.

Ron sighed. "Whatever."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kim! It's for you!" called Mrs. Dr. Possible a few hours later.

"I'm coming!" Kim called back as she ran down the stairs. She was wearing her normal cloths and her hair was the way it normally was . . . after all it was just a movie right? It wasn't like it was a date.

Kim reached the door where Morris was standing. Kim's mom left for the kitchen. When she was gone, Morris looked at Kim. "You're not ready yet?" Morris asked when he saw Kim.

Kim looked and him. "I am ready."

"Oh." Morris replied.

"Is something wrong?" Kim asked.

"Well, I thought you'd dress up for tonight." Morris replied.

"Oh." Kim said. "I'm sorry. I didn't think that it would be all that important. After all, it's not like it's a real date right?"

Morris nodded. "Oh well, but next time, could you dress up a little nicer for me?" He flashed another smile.

Kim smiled back. "Yeah."

Morris looked at her for a second. "Hey, Kim, you know, you should pull your hair back. It would show some more of your pretty face."

"I'll do that." Kim said as she and Morris walked out to meet Ron and Monique.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the movie, Kim, Ron, Monique, and Morris headed to Bueno Nacho. Kim noticed that Ron hadn't acted like himself through the whole movie and sulked the whole time. She figured it must have had to do with Morris coming with them.

"I really enjoyed that movie." Morris said.

"Yeah." Kim and Monique agreed.

Ron just gave a small grunt.

Kim looked at him, then at Morris. "Morris, I have to talk with Ron for a moment."

"Alright." Morris said.

"Come on Ron." Kim said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the opposite side of the restaurant. "Ron, what's up with you?"

"Kim, this was supposed to be time for you and me and Monique to hand out. Why did you have to bring him along?" Ron asked.

"Um, if I remember correctly, you tried to get me to go out with him." Kim said.

"No, I just pointed out the facts. Monique was the one who tried to get you to go out with him." Ron replied.

"Whatever." Kim said. "I'm sorry, but I thought you wouldn't mind seeing as you were my best friend."

"I am!" Ron insisted. "I just wanted to spend some time with you."

"But Ron, we always spend time together." Kim replied.

"You make that sound like it's a bad thing." Ron said.

"No, I'm not. You're blowing this whole thing outta proportion!" Kim said.

"No I'm not!" Ron argued.

"Then why are you so angry that I brought Morris along?" Kim asked.

Ron threw his hands up in frustration. "I already told you why! This was time for us! Not for us plus your boyfriend!"

"Well, I'm sorry, but Morris is actually really nice and I figured it would be a good opportunity to get to know him better." Kim replied.

"Forget it, KP." Ron said as he walked back to the table, said goodbye to Monique, paid, then left.

"What was that all about Kim?" Monique asked as Kim sat down.

"Oh, Ron's just mad because I let Morris come along." Kim replied.

"You know, Kim, Ron doesn't seem like he's a great friend." Morris said.

"What are you talking about?" Kim asked. "He's a great friend!"

"Well, it's not my place to judge, but it just seems that he's trying to control what you do and who you talk with." Morris said.

"Ron? Try to control me?" Kim had to keep from laughing. "Morris, I appreciate your concern, but I've known Ron since Pre-K."

Morris just shrugged. "Well, I don't know. It just seems like it."

Kim shrugged and tried to show a relaxed look, but inside, she was thinking hard. \\Is he right? Is Ron trying to control me?//

Her heart told her that that was absurd, but her brain kept thinking about Morris' statement. Was he right?
