I am SO sorry I forgot to update. I fell behind in my homework and, well, this is what I get. To make it up to you guys, here's a sneak preview of Harder Then the First Time:
The alarm woke her with a start. Kim Possible reached out from under her covers to shut it off. She then opened her eyes to the skeptical before her. It was a picture of her and Ron. She sighed.
In the picture she was giving an ordinary "picture" smile. However, Ron was making a face so funny that, when Kim saw it out of the corner of her eye, she busted out laughing. The face he was making was sort-of like a half-smile half-frown kind of thing. That's the only way she could think of to describe it.
Ron Stoppable. He'd been her best friend since pre-k. Practically forever. Thirteen years of friendship. Friendship that Kim treasured.
Ron was the sweetest guy on the planet. He was always supportive of her, even when he didn't agree with what she was doing. She recalled how he set her up with Josh Mankey. It seemed like that was so long ago. He didn't even like Josh, and yet, upon seeing Josh with Tara, Ron tried to keep Kim's attention away from them so that he wouldn't have to see her heart get broken. He always thought of her.
Now Kim knew the truth. She loved him. Kimberly Anne Possible, teen hero, was in love with her sidekick, Ronald Stoppable.
She wasn't sure what made her realize her true feelings for Ron. Maybe it was a series of events. Not just one. She could care less when she knew it. Right now she was trying to pick out an outfit that would show Ron that she was a woman. Not just a woman, an available woman, and more than just a friend.
After what seemed like forever, she picked out a red and pink shirt and a pair of kakis.
"Kimmie, are you up?" her mom asked.
"Yes," Kim answered, "I'll be down in a sec."
"Just so you know: Ron's here."
Kim frantically finished getting dressed and made her way downstairs. Ron was so handsome. He didn't look any different, of course. Kim was just noticing his features for the first time in her life.
"Sup', KP?" he asked.
"Whassup?" Rufus interjected from Ron's pocket.
"Hey, Ron," That's it? Last night you realized that you loved him and all you can say is, "Hey, Ron"? You are pathetic!
She finished her breakfast without a word. What could she say? It all seemed so simple last night. But, now that Ron was right in front of her, her voice was caught in her throat.
"Well," she said with a little nervousness, "let's get going. Don't want to be late. Do we?"
"Most certainly not," Ron said.
"Uh uh. Uh uh," Rufus added.
On the way to school, Kim built up her courage and said, "Ron, have you ever thought about the possibility of us…"
"Doing what?" he asked.
Apparently, Kim's circling hand gesture wasn't obvious enough to prove what she was talking about.
"What I mean is…" Kim paused, "have you ever thought about…asking me out…on an actual…date."
There she said it. She said "date".
"Well," Ron hesitated (was he taken aback by the question?), "the thought has crossed my mind. But we're just friends, and, like you said, it would be akweird."
Kim instantly filled with fear. He didn't feel the way about her as she felt for him! Then she thought again. He did say that he thought about dating her. So there was hope. Little of it, but it was there.
Kim decided she'd do whatever she could to get Ron to fall for her. It would be a challenge, but Ron was worth it. It seemed like it'd be impossible, but any is possible for a Possible.
I'll post this fanfic after I'm finished with Falling in Love. I'll put up the next chapter as soon as I can.
