Chapter 2
2004
Oomph! Kim landed heavily on the hard ground of Middleton Park in the middle of a group of trees. Realizing that no one was around, she let out a sigh of relief. Thank God no one saw me come out of nowhere. Walking out of the trees and into broad daylight, she saw a familiar sight that she hadn't seen in years. There were birds chirping, people walking dogs, and children scurrying around in delight. It, it really worked! she thought in awe. Walking along the old paths of Middleton sent a warm feeling through Kim. It's been years since I've seen such happiness. As she walked on slowly and just observed the simple beauty of freedom, the day's newspaper caught her eye. Saturday, September 2nd, 2004.
"Excuse me sir," she asked a bypassing man. "Do you know what time it is?" The man gave her a strange look before replying.
"Um, it's 2:36," he said quickly, before giving her another weird stare before walking on. Oh yea, I better get new clothes. Kim looked down at her apparel, a gray, futuristic suit with heavy boots. Realizing that she didn't have any money on her, she decided to head sneak in to her past self's house and take some clothes. After all, I haven't grown any since high school anyway. With the half pound of an unknown substance I've eaten every day for years, there's no way I could have put on weight. Staying out of sight, Kim took the empty routes and felt a warm, tingly sensation upon stopping in front of her old house.
It's a shame you got destroyed. What I'd give to relive my years here she thought wistfully. Realizing that she had better change before anyone else saw her, she knocked on the door. Please don't be home. Deep down, however, she wanted to see her parents so much. When no one answered, she let out a sigh of relief and disappointment. Using her thievery skills, she picked the lock perfect and snuck into the house. On the mantel on top of the fireplace was a picture of her whole family and Ron smiling together on a bright sunny day. Jerking her eyes away, she set off to her old room and opened it.
Instantly, photos and images of Ron assaulted her. The room was literally littered with pictures of her and Ron, from pre-K to present day. Well, the present day she was in anyway. God, can I really do this? Can I really go through with this? Walking to the closet, she pulled out a faded t-shirt and an old pair of jeans, knowing that her old self wouldn't notice these two items missing. Putting them on, she walked back out, looking back again at the memories she and Ron had shared. What happened Ron? What could have driven you to the ends you went to?
Pulling out a small, futuristic handgun, she set out and headed towards Bueno Nacho. Wade's directions echoed in her head. Just aim the light on his head and fire. It cuts through glass like butter and will kill him upon impact if you aim for the head. Deciding it was for the best, she started running, hoping to get this over with as soon as possible. Bueno Nacho brought back happy memories and just looking at the restaurant made her want to cry. So many memories.

Ron stuffed another load of nachos in his mouth, getting cheese all over his hands and face.
"Uh, can we be less civilized here?"
"Come on, KP, this is the newest Nacho Supreme!"
"Ron, the Nacho Supreme is just the regular nacho with more cheese."
"No, that's not true. Just look at all this…well, the nachos are freshly baked!" Kim Possible smiled inwardly, despite her disgusted outside look. Monique was just observing quietly and trying not to laugh. "You gonna eat your burrito KP?"
Looking down and realizing she had completely lost her appetite, Kim shook her head and saw her burrito vanish. Looking over at Ron, she saw that now, along with dripping cheese, there were beans from inside her burrito on his lips, leaving a stunned look on Kim's face. Monique couldn't hold it in any longer and cracked up laughing.
"Monique, you gonna eat your taco?" Choking on her laughter, she shook her head and saw her taco disappear instantly into the abyss of Ron's stomach. Kim, also seeing the goofy scene play out in front of her, couldn't help but smile. A few seconds later, she was laughing loudly alongside Monique, just enjoying the show. These are the days she thought to herself. No school, no work, no Bonnie…just hanging out and enjoying the simple pleasures with my friends. As Ron stuffed the remainder of the taco in his mouth, he got up and prepared to buy some more food.
"Uh, Ron, you aren't going to go up there looking like the Joker are you?" Ron looked back sheepishly before picking up a napkin and wiping off the various foods on his face and hands. Then he was off again, sprinting to the counter and ordering another meal.
"Girl, he's definitely one-of-a-kind isn't he?" asked Monique.
"I don't know what this world would come to if he weren't." They both let out a small laugh as Ron returned with food in his mouth already.
"Ron, you can't wait for eight seconds?"
"KP, this is the Naco Supreme! No one can wait." He took another huge bite out of the Naco. "Say, isn't that your T-shirt, KP?" Ron asked, motioning towards the future Kim staring at them from outside the window. Kim turned around and saw her future self.

Future Kim stared at the scene playing out before her. Ron chowing down on his food like a crazed animal, causing her past self and Monique to laugh uncontrollably. Those were the days. She saw Ron look over and motioned for her past self to look too. Shit, they've seen me. Do it! For the future! Now! Trembling, she lifted up the gun with shaky arms and…
A/N—Ooo, can she do it? Will she? What will the aftermath be? Kim vs. Kim? What if she doesn't shoot him? Will she ever find the courage to? Cliffhanger, sorry. Just wanted to get you readers thinking.
