I don't own Kim Possible, YET. (Laughs manically)

"I don't know, buddy," Ron said, "What do you think?"

Rufus thought for a moment and said, "Cheese."

"I mean about me and Kim," Ron said angrily while getting his lunch, "Do you think I should ask her out? Should I start dating her? What's not to like about Kim? She's smart, determined, supportive, athletic, and cute–stunning really."

"Uh huh, uh huh," Rufus replied.

"Dating could be good. Ya know, the "date" thing...but what if it tanks?"

"Hm. Tanks?" Rufus added, "Nope."

"Oh, I need advise," Ron said, "Where do I go?"

"Got me," Rufus said.

"Hey, Ron," Felix said, "How's things?"

"Fine," Ron lied.

"You're lying, Stoppable. I can tell," Felix answered.

"Well, there's this girl..."

"Kim?"

"Yes. I mean NO! Well, may-be."

"I know you're crushing on her. You know you're crushing on her. Face the facts," Felix said with a smile on his face.

"Yes. NO! I mean...um..."

"Let's sit down and talk, Ron," Felix said while laughing, "Well, you sit down, at least."

–Elsewhere–

Kim walked into the cafeteria with Tara.

"Ooh, hottie alert," Kim said, pointing at the new guy in the caf.

He was a tall young man with spiky, black hair. He was indeed a hottie. But the way Kim was looking at him concerned Tara. She thought Kim was developing feelings for Ron, which is why she never told Ron how she used to feel about him. She didn't like what she saw Kim doing.

"Amp down, Kim. Someone might think you're crushing on him," Tara said, turning to...no one.

Kim, who had already walked up to the new guy, said, "Hi there. My name is Kim Possible."

"Erik's my name," the boy said, extending his hand, "Nice to met you. You were on the news last week, weren't you? Saved some video game company's president."

"Ya, totally," Kim said.

Tara didn't like what she heard. When Kim told her about that mission, she said that Ron saved the day on that mission. But now she was taking credit for it. It burned Tara deeply.

"Looks like Kim has met the new cute guy in school," a familiar voice said.

"Yeah, Monique," Tara replied, "Funny. I always thought there was something between Kim and Ron, even when Kim was dating Josh."

"I thought so too," Monique said, "I guess we'll have to let them be."

"No," Tara said, "Let's help them along."

"Tara, that would require us to stick our noses in their business," Monique paused, "Sounds like fun!"

–Somewhere else–

Drakken was certainly taking his sweet time answering Lord Monkey Fist's IM. After a long time, he got the answer.

ultimatemonkeyruler:

phase 1 is compete. u may begin with phase 2.

signed, bluman1.

"Perfect," Fist said, then laughed manically.

–Meanwhile, back with Ron and Felix–

"I've been thinking maybe there's more to my relationship with Kim then just being best friends," Ron told his best guy friend.

"Ya know, it doesn't sound weird to me," Felix said, "In fact, I thought you two were dating when I first met you."

"You did?"

"Yeah. Going to the fair together is technically a date."

"Uh huh, uh huh, date," Rufus chimed in.

"Well," Ron said, "Kim and I do hang out all kinds of places, but..."

"You know," Felix interrupted, "That's a real good basis for a dating relationship. You already know where she likes to go, what she likes to do, what kinds of gifts she likes, and what she looks for in a man she's dating."

Ron had to admit that Felix had a point, but was Kim thinking about the possibility of them dating? Did she ever think about it, for that matter? Probably not. She didn't think he was a loser, like most of the girls he asked out, and she liked him as a friend, that's for sure. But she saw him as a friend, nothing more.

"I don't know," Ron said, "What if asking Kim out hurts our relationship?"

"Let's look at the worst-case scenario: you'll ask her out and she'll say, 'No'. You'll be bummed for about a week or so, and then you'll get over it and go back to being friends with her," Felix said.

"Speaking of Kim," Ron said, "Where is she?"

"There she is," Felix exclaimed.

"Ron," Kim said, warring her mission face, "Wade said Monkey Fist is braking into Go City Museum."

"Not monkeys again," Ron shouted.

"Let's jet," Kim said, grabbing Ron's hand, "I've already talked to Mr. Barkin. He says that he'll let it slide if we get back to school before 1500 hours. That's 3 O' clock, Ron."

"Good luck with your problem, Ron," Felix said.

"What's that about?" Kim asked as she lead Ron out of the cafeteria.

"Just a guy thing," Ron lied, "I'll tell you about it later. Okay."

Kim didn't press the issue.

–Half an hour later, at Go City Museum–

"At last," Monkey Fist said, "the Spear of the Monkey Overlord is mine!"

"Not really, Monty," a familiar voice said.

"Ron Stoppable," Fist said, and then turned to Kim, "and the cheerleader. Playing hooky, are you? Monkey ninjas ATTACK!"

His loyal monkey minions attacked Kim Possible as he'd instructed them to do earlier. That left him to fight his arch-nemesis while he was all alone.

"So I face the hairy freak once again," Stoppable said blandly.

"You may have experienced the mystical monkey power, as I have. But I am–"

"A master of Tai Shing Pek Kwar, and you are not," Ron interrupted him, "I've heard it all before, Monkey-boy."

"Let's just "bring it", shall we?"

Ron let out a battle cry and charged Fist. He was faster then Monkey Fist remembered, but it wasn't going to hinder the plan in any way. Monkey Fist blocked left then right. He sent a kick forward, which Stoppable blocked gracefully. He then swung the spear at him. Ron ducked underneath the weapon and brought Fist down with a sweeping kick. Fist released the spear from his grip, and Stoppable caught it. Ron pinned Fist to the ground with his foot and pointed the spear at his chest.

"Booyah," he shouted, "Who's the monkey master now? Give up, Monty freak. You can't beat me."

Monkey Fist smiled as he saw the hidden signal and said, "Whatever gave you the idea that I was trying to defeat you?"

"No one can dodge me short game," a familiar voice said, "Not even the world famous Kim Possible!"

Ron turned to see Duff Killigan hanging on to a rope latter attached to his blimp, and he was holding an unconscious Kim by the arm with his free hand. For the time being, Ron forgot Monkey Fist completely.

He dropped the spear and demanded, "Let…her…GO, Killigan!"

"Sure thing, laddie," Killigan said, then he let go of her arm and grabbed her wrist.

"NO," Ron shouted, "Don't drop her!"

"Make up your mind, Mr. Stoppable," the mad golfer replied.

"If you hurt her, I swear I'll—"

"Do what, Ronald?" Monkey Fist chimed in, grabbing a hold of the latter himself, "If you come any closer, we will kill her. So what do you do?"

When Ron took a step closer, Killigan dropped Kim.

"NO-O-O!" Ron shouted on the top of his lungs.

But Monkey Fist had grabbed her ankle and kept her from dying (for the time being).

"Farewell, Ron Stoppable," Monkey Fist said as the blimp flew away and laughed evilly.

"K…P," Ron said, falling to his knees, "I'm sorry. I promised I'd never fail you, and I just did."

I found a plot summary of Disney's Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama on and I was happy to find that it will be nothing like my fanfic. I do not know what Eric looks like, so I looked towards Ricky Ullman (who will be providing Eric's voice) for reference. Stay tuned for the next chapter. Until then R R.
