Truth be Told
A/N-Alright, this is my first peace here at FanFiction. I've been reading the other KP writers works for about a year now and have been a huge Kim Possible fan for almost two years (scene A Sitch in Time premiered). I've wanted to write for awhile and I finally get my chance. This story has been in my mind for a good time and I'm glad I get to write it down. I will tell you it might be slow in the beginning, but I have big plans for this story.
Prologue
Beano Nacho
August 6th, 2005
The sky was bright in the sleep town of Middleton, except for the impending storm clouds which could be seen across the horizon. Kim could relate with the sky. Kim Possible was not your average teen, sure she had the problems every teen faces; school, friends, dating. But add to that having the fate of the world, literally, on your shoulders and dating your best friend/sidekick and you can see how things could get sticky. Missions hade been slow, with Drakken and Shego safely locked away, and the other villains doing a sub-par job at there 'take over the world plots' things got a little slow. It was more of her best friend boyfriend Ron Stoppable that was irking her. The Diablo crises of months ago had past and both of then had come out unscathed. Not only unscathed but great. The two entered the Middleton high prom hand in hand and had received a cheer from the entire junior class, except one ferociously tweaked cheerleader. The bond hade been sealed with a kiss that night, followed by more kisses as the night went on. The beginning of the relationship was great, like most starts to relationships are, but as time wore on the pressure became intense. How were they going to live up to being labeled as 'the perfect couple'? They were human, or so they clamed, they had faults just like every other couple. Kim could see the storm clouds on her horizon. She knew all this anxiety would build up into a problem. The storm was coming, but could she deal with the rain? Kim pondered this as she sat at a booth at her favorite restaurant with one of her closest friends Monique Jenkins.
"I don't know Monique, everything was so perfect in the beginning but now…" Kim's eyes wondered around the empty Mexican Restaurant, normally it would have been packed on an average Saturday but people were skeptical to return to a restaurant whose toys had nearly killed them not but four months ago
"But now what? You to seem made for each other" her best girlfriend, Monique responded.
"That's just it, that's all I've herd for the past four months 'you two are perfect' or 'what a cute couple' it was just too much pressure." the teen hero said imitating the words of her family and friends.
"Too much pressure says the girl who faces super villains on a daily bases" Monique says jokingly but notices a scowl coming from a crossed the booth "Your serious, you're thinking of ending things with Ron."
Kim's eye down cast and responds "I don't know, how will he react, could we be friends, would he be crushed would he-"
Monique put her hand up to stop the red head's rant "Kim I don't have the answers you need only one person has them." Monique raised one finger to make here point.
"I know."
Mean while across Middleton in the Renton home
"Oh ya Ron-Man you are going down." Felix Renton shouted as his fingers banged the buttons on his game controller, but his gaming partner, Ron Stoppable didn't seem so enthusiastic. "Rondo what's buggin' you?"
"I don't know, just relationship stuff." Ron Stoppable responded.
"Wow wow wow, stop and rewind what's up with you and Kim" the Wheel chair bound high school student said wide eyed.
"I mean me and Kim were great, but we only have one year of high school left then she's off to college and me, well I really don't know were I'm headin'." He stopped looked off into the distance and says "I just want what's best for her."
"That's great man, but how are you sure you aren't what's bust for here." That was a question Ron really had to think on. Kim never had cared if he was the smartest, or the best looking, or the most popular, or the most athletic. She had always said 'he was Ron and that was good enough for her', but he was beginning to think that wasn't good enough for her. He loved her, he always had and probably always will, and he knew she could do better, he just hoped she would understand.
"You I really don't want to think about this right no" with that he picked up his discarded game controller, and said with his Ron-ness finally coming back. "What do you say game on?"
The Streets of Middleton
Two teen stumble out of the building they had been in on to the deserted streets of Middleton. Nether knowing for sure where they were going, but both destined for the some destination. The sky was overcast in the small Colorado town. The skyline of the town painted gray matching the emotions inside the teen hero and her best friend/side kick, both of which were venturing ever so closer to there distention.
Ron was the first to arrive under an old oak tree at the Middleton Pre-K. It was under that same tree that two four year olds started a friendship that would span across a decade and beyond. It was under that same tree that there relationship would be put to its greatest test. Ron slowly patted the trunk of the huge tree, looked up at it and sighed. Ron didn't even see the red headed cheerleader approach him.
"Hey Ron" Kim said flatly
"Hey KP" Ron responded in the some tone.
Ron simply kicked the dirt, and Kim just looked at the dull gray sky. After what seemed to be an eternity both teens stated simultaneously "We need to talk."
"I'm so sorry KP I just don't think we can keep this up."
"That's just what I was thinking Ron." Kim said some what relived Ron was having the same feelings as her, but still with a heavy heart "This past few months have been great, but weren't things so much easier before?"
"That's just what I was thinking; man we really are in sink." Ron said trying to lighten the mood "It was so much easier when we were just friends without all the added pressure"
"So you think it would be ok if we went back to being just friends?"
"Sure I mean we gave I a shoot right." Ron stated as Kim nodded her head in agreement. The boy then extended his arm to off a comforting embrace to his life long friend. Ron wrapped his arms around Kim's waist and Kim put her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Things aren't going to be weird around each other are they?" Kim asked, skeptical about the future of there friendship.
"I don't know this is all a new experience for me too." Ron replied still enveloped in the hug.
As the two teens finally parted Kim raised her head and emerald green locked on to chocolate brown. "So we cool?" Ron said trying to break the tension; he never was one for drama.
Kim laugh and said "Ya were cool" the two hugged again.
"You want me to walk you home"
"No, I think I'll swing by Monique's first; see you at school."
"Ya see you tomorrow." The two parted and headed down the street in opposite ways.
Nether one of the teens saw this ending coming the months ago at there junior prom. There was some much passion in there eyes, in there kiss, but that's the thing about young love; it just seems it could last for ever. All though there friendship seemed to have survived the brake-up with minimal damage both knew it would be different between them.
This may have been an equal agreement separation, but that didn't change the way Ron felt inside. 'This was the best move. Was this the best move? I mean I could still get into college. Me and Kim could have had a future. Did I just make a big mistake?' Just as things got more confusing for the blond headed boy the clouds finally let loss the rain that had been threatening all day.
"Ow man!" Ron shouted fist thrust into the air in disgust.
As Ron, now soaked to the bone, began his trip back to his house a silver Mustang pulled up next to him it slowed down and rolled down the window. Ron paid the muscle car no heed.
"How about a lift?" a feminine voice said caching the boy's attention. Ron turned looking inside the car seeing a girl his age with platinum blond hair and soft blue eyes.
"Oh, hey Tara."
