I own not Kim Possible, or any other persons fact or fictional in the series. I do this for fun and to help keep my sanity from being over run with stories, not for profit.

The Kimmunicator goes off. Ron looks expectantly to Kim. Kim flips up the top and there is Wade.

"What's the sitch Wade?" asks Kim.

Ron sticks his head in. "Have you found Monkey Fist?"

"Sorry Ron. Not yet, but I think I might know where he is going to be later."

"That is our Wade," says Ron. "So, where do you think?"

"Middleton Space Center. Fredrick's ship is landing there today at five fifteen."

"Fredrick is coming back? It has been a year already hasn't it?"

"And I can make sure we are in a good spot to nab Monkey Fist when he pops his head out," commented Kim. "Dad will do anything for his little girl," finished Kim in her 'cute little girl pose'.

"Excuse me Ron-San," interjected Yori. "But who is this Fredrick?"

"Just the smartest monkey on the planet ... Err in space, but soon to be on the planet."

"Monkey Fist kidnapped him into space trying to make himself the Ultimate Monkey Master. Fredrick got out, but Ron was in the rocket also. Fredrick piloted me up to the space station in one of my dad's prototype ships. We stopped Monkey Fist and that is when the monkey ninja's followed Ron around EVERYWHERE."

"Bad memories Kim. Bad."

"Anyway," cutting a look to Ron, "Fredrick stayed on the space station to do his mission. And today is the day of his scheduled landing."

Yori nodded and walked over to Ron. "So, Ron-San, when do we leave?"

Kim cut a cruel glance to the Asian girl. She then gave Ron the 'What are you doing? And you better stop whatever it is' look. "Uh well I usually just take KP's lead."

"Oh, I am sorry Possible-San. When do we leave?"

"I will need to talk to my dad. He can get us the passes that we will need. He can also give us a ride. Wade? Thank you. Keep us informed if Monkey Fist pops up before then. Kim out." Kim closes the Kimmunicator and sits down heavily on the bed glaring at Ron and Yori.

Hirotaka walked into the room in one of Ron's spare mission shirts that he kept stashed here just I case. "This is a pretty good fit Stoppable-San." Hirotaka sits next to Kim, looks at her, and then winks. "So Kim-San, what do we do?"

"We wait," Kim replied curtly, starting to bounce her heel as she continued to send daggers to Yori and Ron in her mind.

'Wait, why am I doing this? She obviously likes Ron. Ron likes her. No big, it's not like Ron and I are an item or anything. Ron has improved a lot. I have always told him to show more confidence. That means that he will take the initiative in situations that he wants to. Even with me around. GRRRRR, why am I hating this then. He is my friend, I should be happy with him. But I am so mad.' "ARRRRGH!" finished Kim out-loud.

"Hey KP relax. We will be in action soon. I know how impatient you can be when you have to wait, but there is nothing to be done now," counseled Ron. "Maybe if we take a walk or something KP?"

Ron looked concerned for his friend. That seemed to break Kim out of her burning glare. Kim looked up to him. "Yeah, Yori, let's show you the neighborhood."

"You guys head downstairs. We will be there in a moment," said Ron to the two visitors. After they had left the room, "What's wrong KP?"

"Nothing Ron. Nothing at all. … Well maybe how she is looking at you. I don't want her to hurt you. I just get this feeling that she is using you. That she is being nice to you to string you along to do what she wants. SIGH…" Kim looked up at her friend. "Let me guess, you think I am crazy for thinking that."

"Yes and no. KP besides you she is the only girl that shows ANY and I mean ANY interest in me. I know that you will never care for me like she does. I am your friend. We have been around each other so much that you see me as a brother instead of as a guy. I hated Mankey with the burning hatred of a thousand suns. But after I never tried to do anything to break you two up, or keep you apart, except maybe the times you bailed on your plans with me at a flutter of his eyelashes. Don't worry about me getting 'hurt'. We go on death defying missions all the time. If you are worried about me getting hurt then, THOSE are the times you should worry about," Ron implored. "Don't I get a chance to have happiness without you involved in the equation? To find someone that likes me for me, not for the fact I am your friend and sidekick. Or worse yet, the feel pity for me. Do you know how much THAT hurts?"

"All that I am asking is to please give this a chance. For me. You say you can do anything. Then do this for me. For your friend. For someone that loves you more than anyone. I can even post it to the site… I will give you a ride anytime that you might need one," Ron then pulled something that he had never done before. He gave Kim the puppy look. Instead of the 'cute pleading puppy' of Kim, his was the 'lovable stray that is hungry and out in the rain'.

Seeing Ron's face like that she had to turn away, but it is too late. "Where did you learn that?"

"From watching you do yours. I know I am not as cute as you, but I am ALL over pathetic. So I went with my strengths."

"How long have you been waiting to do that to me?"

"Oh, about six months now, so does this mean you will do it?"

"Yes, but if she so much as makes you gloomy or heaven help her makes you cry, her ass is mine."

Ron started to beam. "And get THAT thought out of your head," his best friend said, quashing the fantasy.

"Besides you will always be my best friend. No one can take that away. Right, partner?"

"Right … PARTNER."

The two partners hug each other as Ron spins Kim around. "Let's head out. We don't want to keep them waiting to long. Besides I bet Hirotaka would love to walk with you."

"Nope, when he was here last time he wound up hooked up with Bonnie."

"Bon Bon, seriously? Man when I am in charge of things it will be mandatory to have taste in girlfriends."

Laughing the two teens bounded down the stairs.

Author Notes

First time for author notes, so please bear with me. Some may not agree with the portrayals in this part of the story. I do. It is my story therefore, my ideas. Allow me to explain.

1. Yes Kim has feelings for Ron. Yes they confuse her at times. Yes she is a teenage girl, though remarkably mature for the most part.

2. Kim can not resist trying to be perfect, or resist a challenge.

3. Putting these together Ron was able to apply her positive attributes to override her negative ones. In this case jealousy.

4. About Ron improving, Kim has repeatedly said that he was her partner. Ron is holding Kim to that statement. Partner as in equals in the team. If Kim was to see him as anything but equal that would make him the sidekick, which would then make Kim a liar. And we all know how much Kim likes to lie.

I would like to thank those that have reviewed. I have said that I don't do this for profit. This was partly true. I do not do this for monetary compensation. But the approval of the audience is what any true artist looks for. Not that I am anywhere near artist level but, it still feels good not to get beer thrown at you on open mike night.

So up next a tour of the neighborhood, the 'rents come home, and off we go.
