"KP, do you read me?" Ron Stoppable waved his hand in front of Kim Possible's face.
"Huh?" Kim asked. She was just studying for her Science test.
"Like I was saying, the message on the poster that advertised the dance said that if no one has a date by today, you're going to have to go alone! Do you know what that could do to your cheerleading image?" Ron blabbed on.
"Hey, since when do you care about my social status?" Kim asked.
"Um…that information must remain confidential. Anyway, Whatever affects you, will affect me, by being your best friend!" Ron explained.
"Oh, that's why. Okay, well, what do you plan to do?" Kim said, grabbing a soda from the vending machine. She opened it and began taking a drink.
"I plan to take you as my partner" Ron said, standing proudly.
Kim nearly choked on her soda. "What do you mean, like a date?" she asked, puzzled.
"Well, some people think that, but hey, who else can take you? Besides, if you don't have a date, do you think people will want an unpopular gal to train them in cheerleading, the group of popular girls?" Ron said.
"Well, I-"
"Exactly, KP. Relax, it's not like we're a couple. Oh, gotta go, Mr.Barkin should be getting those pictures of my butt that I photocopied in the Photocopying room! Later, KP!" Ron rushed off.
"Uh…bye!" Kim called. She began walking toward her Science class. Why am I starting to get these feelings all of a sudden? Kim thought. I mean, Ron and I are good friends, right? Nothing more. So why do I feel differently? Kim walked into Science class and sat down. Maybe Ron has an upset stomach and passed it on to me, which explains why every time I'm around him, my stomach twists and turns! But Kim knew that the feeling she felt was love. She didn't want to admit it to herself, though, because she knew that Ron was just like a goofy little brother to her. He was nothing more than a friend.
Ron tried to pay attention in Home Ec, his favourite subject, but he just couldn't. Thoughts rushed through his mind like a cheetah desperate for water on the other end of the jungle. He kept thinking of Kim's smile, Kim's laugh, Kim's annoyed face, and the face Kim made when she saw a new Club Banana outfit on sale. He just couldn't stop thinking about her. Unlike Kim, Ron didn't mind the thought of being an item with her. She was smart, talented, beautiful, and she saved the world! What more could a guy want! Ron doodled Kim's name on his notepad and only stopped when the teacher asked him what his favourite cookies were.
"Um…yes?" Ron answered. The whole class laughed. "Ha ha,yah that was funny, huh, guys?"
When Home Ec was over, Ron immediately went home. Since Home Ec was his last class, he didn't get stopped by a teacher telling him to get to class.
"What do you think KP would say if I told her?" Ron asked Rufus.
"Um…cheese!" Rufus answered and took a bite of the cheesy naco Ron picked up for him.
