Inside the Possible household the smell of freshly cooked bacon is smelt throughout the house. The tweebs are chasing their newest rocket around the living room. In the kitchen, Mrs. Dr. Possible is over at the stove fixing breakfast for her family. Her husband walks into the room and pours himself a cup of coffee. He sits down at the table and looks at the newspaper.

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Morning honey."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Good morning dear. Bacon and eggs?"

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Yes please. What time did Kim get home at last night?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "She's not home yet."

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Not home yet. Did something go wrong? Where is she?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Don't worry dear Ronald's mother called at around ten-fifteen and said that Kim was there and she was very upset. She also said that Kim had fallen asleep on the sofa and if it was okay with us then she could just sleep there."

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Ohh. Did Mrs. Stoppable say why Kim was so upset?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "She said she wasn't sure but she thinks it might have something to do with a boy. She also said that Kim and Ron were a lot closer than they usually are."

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Kim and Ron?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well it wouldn't surprise me they are very close after all. Besides if there was one guy you would pick for Kim wouldn't it be Ron?"

Mr. Dr. Possible: "I guess so. He is like part of the family after all and I know that he won't hurt my Kimmy-cub."

Mr. Dr. Possible opens up the newspaper to the front page and is shocked by something he sees. He reads the paper closely for a moment. He keeps reading over and over almost as if he can't believe what he is reading. He looks up at his wife.

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Honey have you seen this?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Seen what?"

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Well apparently some of Kim's enemies teamed up to stop terrorist attacks in some foreign countries. Apparently the team of Dr. Drakken, Shego, Duff Killigan, and Lord Monkey Fist has stopped attacks in Ireland, Iraq, Israel and Pakistan. It also says that the team is being funded by Senor Senior Senior and his son Senor Senior Junior. When asked about their apparent turn from world domination to peacekeepers Dr. Drakken was quoted as saying "We are still in the business of world domination. However none of our plans include all out wars and total destruction of the planet. What's the point of ruling the world if there is no world to rule?" Another reporter asked Duff Killigan when they would be resuming their quest for world domination and he said "not until sometime next year."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "I guess Kimmy might have the holidays off this year then."

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Wouldn't that be nice."

Mrs. Dr. Possible walks back over to the stove and back to her cooking. She places the food on the plates and brings them over to the table.

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "BREAKFAST IS READY."

The tweebs come running into the room. They immediately begin to scarf down their food like they haven't eaten in days.

As the morning sun attempts to peak out from behind the few clouds in the sky, Kim Possible walks down the sidewalk on her way home. Mrs. Stoppable had offered to give her a ride but Kim wanted to walk, she wanted to think and think she did. Last night something had happened. Something that Kim wanted to say she thought would never happen but she always knew that it would. It was something special, something beautiful. It was happy and perfect but it was also scary. Last night she had the most passionate kiss of her life and it was with Ron. Part of it seemed like a dream to her. Well the kiss seemed like a dream. A beautiful dream that she wished that she had never woken up from. An eternal dream. The kiss was more powerful than anything Kim had ever experienced or imagined. It gave her a new strength and purpose but it also gave her a new fear. 'Will things change between us now' she wondered. Kim thought to herself about how this kiss could change her relationship with Ron forever. 'It was only a kiss... no it was more than a kiss. It was an expression of true love. He truly loves me but he's just my friend. So then why did I kiss him back? Do I like Ron? No he's Ron. He's my best friend and that's all but still there's something there.' As Kim continues to walk home she passes by Tara's house. Tara is inside her house eating when she notices Kim walking. She gets up and walks outside to talk to her.

Tara: "Hey Kim."

Hearing her name called, Kim turns around and sees Tara walking towards her.

Kim: "Hi Tara... oh my gosh Tara I'm so sorry."

Tara: "What for?"

Kim: "You had a date with Ron last night and I..."

Tara: "Don't worry about it Kim. Truth is it's probably a good thing that Ron didn't show up last night besides how are you? I heard about Bonnie and Josh. Mainly because Bonnie is calling everyone and bragging about it."

Kim: "I'm fine Tara so not the drama. Besides as far as I'm concerned they're perfect for each other. Now you said that it was a good thing that Ron didn't show up for your date last night. Why is that?"

Tara: "Two reasons really. First off I saw Josh and Bonnie walking around downtown. If Ron was there and saw them I think all hell might have broken loose. He's very protective of you. Which brings me to my second reason. I like Ron but last night was kind of like an eye opener to something that I've known all along. I know that Ron likes me but I also know that there is only one person who he truly loves. I'm not mad at him or you nor am I jealous. I just hope that one day someone will love me half as much as Ron loves you."

Kim: "I... okay. I'm just speechless Tara you're so mature."

Tara: "No I'm not. Honestly when I initially realized that Ron stood me up last night I was furious. It wasn't until I thought things over and came to my conclusions."

Kim: "But still, if it was me I probably wouldn't talk to him ever again."

Tara: "Ohh I'm not going to until he gives me a sincere apology."

Kim: "Ahh well I need to get home my dad is going to kill me as it is."

Tara: "I'll see you Monday Kim. Take care."

Kim: "You too Tara."

As Tara walks back to her house, Kim continues on her way home. Walking along, something that Tara said continuously plays over in her head. "I just hope that one day someone will love me half as much as Ron loves you." 'Has Ron really loved me all this time? Why haven't I noticed it before? Was I too occupied with Josh? I can't believe someone actually loves me the way he does. I thought that only existed in fairy tales and movies.' Without even realizing it, Kim has reached her house and enters through the front door. She goes into the kitchen and greets her family.

Kim (cheerfully): "Good Morning."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Morning sweetheart."

Mr. Dr. Possible: "Morning Kimmy-cub."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "So how are you?"

Kim: "Ohh I'm good mom. Josh and I broke up but it's ok."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well if you want to talk about it I'm here."

Kim: "Thanks mom and I do want to talk but not about Josh."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "About Ron?"

Kim: "How did you... oh did Ron's mom tell you."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well she said you too were pretty close last night and that you seemed upset about something so I kinda guessed at what happened."

Kim: "Well I'm not to sure exactly what is happening."

By now the twins have finished eating and are back to playing with their rocket. Kim's dad excuses himself and goes into the den so that Kim and her mother can have some mother daughter time.

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Alright Kim you want to tell me what happened?"

Kim: "Well last night when I was getting ready Josh called and broke up with me over the phone. He even said that he needed me to return this dress tonight so that he wouldn't have to pay for it. The jerk seemed more concerned about the dress than my feelings."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well Kimmy I say you keep that dress."

Kim: "Anyways I just took off running. I knew that I was headed towards Ron's house but I didn't think about it. Ron was on his way to Tara's when I bumped into him. He took me to his house and let me cry on his shoulder. I told him how Josh dumped me over the phone and for Bonnie as well."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "He dumped you for Bonnie."

Kim: "Yeah but I'm okay with that now cause I think something might be happening between Ron and me and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "It's alright Kimmy I'm here to listen."

Kim: "Well Ron and I were sitting on his couch and I was crying and he was holding me. Anyways I looked up at him and we kinda just started to stare into each other's eyes. The next thing I know he's kissing me and at first I was surprised but then I wanted to kiss him back so I did. At the time it felt right but now I'm not so sure?"

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Kim honey how do you feel about Ron, you know as a boyfriend?"

Kim: "Well I never really thought of him that way. I like him and last night it seemed so perfect but what if I was kissing him because I was hurt and vulnerable and not because I actually like him like that."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well dear it could be a little bit of both. Maybe you were vulnerable and maybe your true feelings for Ron started to come out. I can't tell you how you feel you have to decide that for yourself. I can however tell you that you need to talk to Ron about this."

Kim: "I guess your right mom. It's just that I don't want to hurt his feelings."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Well Kimmy depending on how you feel about Ron you may not be able to avoid that. However if you don't feel the same way about Ron that he feels about you and you date him cause your afraid of hurting him then I can tell you that you will hurt him a lot more in the wrong run than if your honest with him from the beginning."

Kim: "Thanks mom, I'm gonna go get a shower."

Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Ohh Kim I think there's an article in the paper that you will want to read. I'll make sure that your father saves it for you."

Kim: "Okay mom."

A short while later Kim is out of the shower and is tidying up her room. As she puts sorts through the cluster of pictures of her and Josh, she comes across an old picture of her with Ron. It was taken by her parents on their first day of high school. Kim reaches under her bed and pulls out a photo album. On the cover of the album are the words 'Kim & Ron the High School Years.' Kim opens the folder album and puts the photo in its rightful spot. She then begins to look through the album, each photo bringing back a special memory to her. As Kim turns towards the end of the album a picture falls out and onto her bed. Kim picks up the picture and looks at the picture that she has never seen before. It is of her sleeping in a chair, possibly on a plane. Kim thinks to herself for a moment. She knows that the picture had to have been taken by Ron but why hadn't she seen it before. 'This picture has to be at least three years old' Kim thinks. Then suddenly it dawns on her, 'this is Ron's photo album.' Curios now to see what other pictures Ron has taken of her Kim flips the page to see even more pictures of herself. There are ones of Kim sleeping, smiling, cheerleading, nearly everything. Kim flips to the last page and stops. A tear begins to form in her eye as she looks at the picture. Kim has become breathless, time has stopped for her. She takes the photo out of its holding place and just stares at it. For some reason Kim knows that there is something written on the back of the photo. She turns it over and reads...

Well this is the first chapter from episode two of part one. I know its about half the length of my previous chapters but for some reason I wanted to stop here. Expect the next chapter to be the same length as this one and then they will go back to their previous lengths. As always keep R&Ring.
