Kim Possible: The Sociopath Episode

Disclaimer: Mark and Bob made KP.

Chapter 3: Tonight
Kim and Ron discuss things at Bueno Nacho then take a trip to Kim's house.

"So, that's what Felix thought?" Kim asked quietly, sipping her drink.

"It makes sense, but that might not be all of it, I think." Ron replied.

Ron still didn't have a grip on exactly how he felt. Felix might have helped, but it was still a long way from hitting the nail on the head.

"KP, do you think that we might have rushed into this thing? I mean, the same night you break up with the so-called perfect boyfriend we get together, start dating and then lip lock. We're officially dating for five minutes and we're already kissing. You didn't even do that with Erik. So... um... I guess I think what I'm trying to say is-"

Kim interrupted him. "Ron, Erik was a syntho-drone. And well, maybe the two of us did rush into things, if you think about it too hard. But Ron, if you wanna know what I think, it's something that should've happened a long time ago. Why make it wait any longer? Once I realized the person I couldn't live without was the same guy I wanted to be with, the same guy who had been there for me time and time again, a lot of things then came into perspective. You've been there for me more times than I can remember, Ron. Some hot crush can't compare to that, ever. And Ron, I can't do anything without you. I never thought of life after graduation, other than college and the obvious, but I never thought of a long future between Erik and me. But you, I can't see you being gone, dating some other girl."

Ron pointed at her. "Hah, you were jelling with Yori!"

"Ron! Yes, I was, I finally admit it, but that's not the point! The point is, I didn't realize until Prom how I feel for you. Don't think that I'm rebounding off of Erik, or that we only did what we did because of Prom. While it probably did help, it would've happened anyway, and I'm glad it did. Just the thought of the kiss that night makes me feel all tender inside."

The weight of the world must've fallen off of Ron's back. Now Kim finally confessed her own feelings, and admitted to being jealous of Yori.

"Wow, KP, so that's how you really feel?"

She grabbed his hand. "I know I felt nervous about it at first, but it was the right thing to do. Trust me. We'll get through this, okay? Try not to think too hard about it. I wouldn't turn back."

Ron just had to ask one more question. "So, the food chain?"

Kim sighed. "Over, done. Bonnie was wrong, and I was stupid to even believe it. Everyone else was right, it means nothing. And like I said on prom night, I wound up dating a syntho-drone because of listening to the food chain, Ron. That's enough to convince me to disregard it."

Ron felt relieved. "So, no big?"

Kim just gave Ron a cool and confident look. "No big. So that's what's been bothering you?"

Ron had nodded. "I just wanted to make sure we both knew what we were doing and for the right reasons, Kim. I mean, we've been in denial before. If we both ran into something we were going to regret, it would be best to end it now than before it's too late."

"This isn't denial, Ron. It's real. Trust me."

Ron wouldn't be able to do otherwise even if he tried. He noticed that Kim looked down.

"But, if you're not ready for this kind of thing, then-"

Ron interrupted Kim this time, "No no no no no no no... no! Believe me, KP, I could get used to this. Just wanted to make sure everything was bon diggity. I just wanted to make sure we knew what we were doing and that everything was all good."

He lifted her chin up from across the table. She smiled at him, "So, we're tight."

"As always," he replied, looking at his watch. "Wanna catch a movie after this? It's only six."

"I thought you'd never ask."

The movie ended a little before nine, giving Kim and Ron three hours. The movie was about some high school girl genius who was born a witch and decided to save the world, trying to balance her dating and evil relatives. Funny enough, Kim and Ron were constantly whispering to each other about the many flaws the movie had, both giggling a lot throughout the movie. With three hours left, heading over to Kim's place wasn't a bad idea.

The scooter came to a stop at Kim's driveway.

Kim let out her hand as Ron turned off the scooter.

"You wanna come in?"

"Sure."

Before Kim's hand motioned towards the doorknob, she stopped, taking her hand back. She sighed as she looked at Ron, grabbing his hands.

"You know Ron, this is kinda like Prom night, isn't it?"

She pulled Ron in closer to her, similar to their dancing position at Prom.

Ron looked into her eyes. "It is, isn't it? But I don't get a long goodnight kiss, do I?"

She giggled. "Well, the night's far from over, but you know what? Whatever."

Relieved at the status of their relationship, Ron felt a lot more confident about kissing Kim. After they parted lips, Kim kept her arms wrapped around him, placing her head on his shoulder, like at Prom.

She sighed. "It still feels like it just happened."

Ron put his arms around her, but patting her back with his right hand. "Let's go inside. You remember what happened last time, and we don't want Rufus printing doubles."

Kim pouted. "Oh, please. Five more minutes?" Her grip on him was still strong.

Ron wasn't in any mood or position to complain. He quietly whispered to her, "Sure." After all, saying no would probably put him in a black hole, both remembering Prom was too golden. Neither of them had seen it coming, but it happened, and it was all real.

It turned out that fifteen minutes actually passed before the front door of the Possible residence opened.

"Back early, Ronald?" Kim's dad asked from the couch, watching TV.

Ron was no longer afraid of Dr. Possible, as he had approved his relationship with his daughter, so he took it rather cool.

"Yeah, about that, Mr. Dr. P, we're expecting some bank but at midnight, so..."

He turned towards his daughter, who nodded, confirming Ron's claim.

"Well, I suppose I can let the curfew slide for tonight, but once the mission's over, I expect my Kimmie-cub home. Understood, Ronald?" he asked, smiling.

"Gotcha, Mr. Dr. P."

Kim's mom came out from the kitchen. "Ron! Doing better?"

"Doing much better, Mrs. Dr. P. No big."

She wiped her forehead. "Good. I was going to faint if this was another moodulator-related incident again."

Both kids looked at each other, blushing at the thought. They were grateful that it wasn't.

Kim's mom, like most of the kids at Middleton, had been rooting for Kim and Ron to get together for a long time. She was pretty disappointed when Kim told her that her earlier date and crush with Ron was caused by a mechanical device called a Moodulator. Because of that, she was worried when Kim went out with Eric.

"So someone's robbing a bank at midnight? Any one of the usual villains we know?" Mrs. Possible asked.

Kim hadn't said anything since she and Ron got in, so she decided to change that. "Wade wasn't able to trace a lead, but I'm guessing it's a rookie villain again. I doubt we'll see Drakken or Shego for quite some time."

Ron had still remembered the words that came from Drakken's mouth that night. "Stoppable!" Another reason Prom rocked.

Kim's mom almost forgot. "You kids hungry? We saved some dinner in the microwave." she figured Kim and Ron were probably on another date.

"Sure," both replied.

"Jinx! Double Jinx! Triple Jinx! Qua-"

Kim found herself losing to Ron as he positioned his fingers on her belly, tickling her.

"-d Jinx!" Ron finished.

"No fair!" Kim laughed.

"Way fair! That's four sodas you owe me!" he snickered.

"Compared to all the sodas you still owe me?" Kim asked.

"We'll work on that." Ron nervously answered.

They both laughed. It was almost like the movie earlier in the evening didn't happen, and before then they had eaten and talked at Bueno Nacho.

A loud noise and vibration came from upstairs. 'Tweebs' thought Kim. Sure enough, it was Jim and Tim.

"Hey Ron!" both yelled as they came down the stairs.

"Yo." Ron calmly replied.

At least they didn't try to crash into him with rockets. Kim took satisfaction in knowing she wouldn't have to worry about them and her dates, at least she knew they wouldn't try to kill her boyfriend, seeing as they both grew up with Ron around as an older brother of sorts.

It was a little past ten, and the Possible family has gone to bed, with the exception of Kim. She and Ron decided to get ready, but it was still too early. After changing into their battle clothes, they laid down on opposite ends of the bed, their legs hanging off one end of the bed. They looked at each other's eyes upside down.

"So," Kim asked, breaking the silence. "Today wasn't as bad as you thought if could've been, huh?"

"Nah. Kinda awkweird with all the attention, but Ron could get used to that." he said confidently.

Kim smiled, forgetting that sometimes Ron spoke in the third person. She leaned her head against his.

He turned to look at her. "You're not getting tired now, are ya, KP?"

He let himself relax as Kim gently breathed on his neck.

"No, but this is a nice way to kill time, don't you think?"

Ron wouldn't argue with her there.
