A/N—Is this a cheery fic? Well, compared to my other pieces of work yes, but really, it's more bittersweet than cheery.

One Moment More

The slow, melodious music resonated through the halls of Middleton's Blue Fountain ballroom. Multifarious lights danced in the darkness across the smooth, white walls surrounding the dance floor. It was relatively crowded but offered just the right amount of space. It was prom night, and it was perfect. In the midst of it all were two people slow dancing, faces filled with emotion as harmonious words came out of the speakers.

Hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
And show me
All the reasons you'd stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To cool my soul and ease my mind
You've go to hold me and show me love

The couple rhythmically swayed to the beat of the music, both coming close to tears. They had been best friends for so long, and, as fate would have it, they ended up here at prom night with each other. It was the best way for both of them, but in a way it was the worst.

"KP, I guess this'll be the last time that, you know, we'll be together like this." He tried his best to stifle his tears; good-byes were never easy. They hadn't even graduated yet, but prom seemed to mark an end to an era.

"Shh…don't say that. Just, just hold me." She was so torn; she wasn't sure if she was making the right decision, but she had already committed to Global Justice. Ron wanted to get in, and she had tried her best to help in but in the end, they had only wanted her.

Give me
Just one part of you to cling to
And keep me
Everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal a heart and run
And fade out with the fooling sun

"I'm sorry." She had broken the short silence with words that needed to be said.

"For what?" He knew the answer to that. They both did.

"For leaving." It was all there in the open. Obviously, it wasn't the first time they spoke of this.

"We've talked about this already. It's for the best, KP. Trust me." His comforting words only added to her torment. She knew it tore him up inside, and yet he said what he did because he believed it would be the best for her. Always being Ron, the selfless friend who always did the right thing. Now, she could only wonder, was she doing the right thing?

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and keep me

It was tearing him up inside. His heart cried out for her, begging her not to go. He wanted to be with her so bad, to look in those glowing emerald eyes and hear her angelic voice. He didn't want there to be a time limit; he wanted, no, needed her to stay, to go to college with him. But he only smiled reassuringly as his heart was tearing up inside.

"Am I doing the right thing?" 'No! No! It's wrong, it's all wrong! Stay here with me, KP.' His heart cried out to her, but there was only one answer he could give. For her.

"Yes." He paused silently before continuing. "Let's just enjoy the time we still have." He tightened his hold on her, believing that it could keep her here for at least one moment more.

Tell me that someday you'll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I'll be here
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

But his heart could not be completely silenced. He needed something, reassurance, anything.

"KP, you'll come back to visit, right?" It wasn't anywhere near enough to silence the voice begging her to stay, but it offered some resistance.

"Of course." 'Should I even leave?' She knew what Ron would say. She'd heard it a million times.

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more

The words flowed smoothly as they made eye contact. Trusting, brown eyes met hers. He had always believed in her, urged her on to do great things, and because of his faith, she always had. There was only one reason she'd stay in Middleton, and she was dancing with him right now. Their first victory still remained fresh in her mind. Team Possible.

"Thank you." The relief was evident in the man's voice. He had been one move away from getting sliced in half by his own security system.

"No big. Just jumped through a few deadly laser beams."

"Boo-yah! You rock, KP!"

"No, we rock, Ron," she said, smiling.

"Boo-yah!"

They had formed Team Possible-Stoppable that day; well, they had actually been a "team" in a sense since the day they met. That day just made it official to the world. 'Did Global Justice realize what they were breaking up?' she wondered.

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe

Ron noticed that Kim was worrying despite her best efforts to mask it. He knew what it was about, and his heart begged him to tell her to stay. He just couldn't though.

"It's okay. There's nothing to worry about. Everything'll be alright. Trust me." She looked up into those chocolatey brown eyes.

"Really?"

"Yea." And for once, she believed it, succumbing to his embrace.

So hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
