Ron made the walk home from Kim's house it seemed like it was the longest walk of his life. When Ron got to the top of the hill he realized that he had forgotten his scooter at Kim's, Ron shook his head, "Have to pick that up tomorrow." he thought.

He stood outside his house, he turned and looked back down the hill at Kim's house, he seen his scooter in the driveway. He turned and looked at the front door of his house, "Did I understand her right?" He thought.

Ron decided that he hadn't misunderstood, "Well, time to go inside and face the folks." Ron thought.

Ron walked up the 3 steps to the front door, turned the door knob and walked in. Ron's mother met him at the door and let him have it. Ron just stared at her, not saying a word, shaking his head when he thought he should. Once the butt chewing was over, he made the walk up stairs.

Once in his safety of his room he sat on the bed and stared into the mirror. He ran the events of the day over and over again in his head. Ron was stunned, "Did I do something wrong?" He thought to himself.

Ron continued to stare in the mirror; "she'd pick me over Eric and then tells me, let's just be friends." Ron thought shaking his head.

Ron's stood up, took Rufus out of his pocket and placed him on the dresser Rufus looked at him with very sad eyes, "Ohhhhhhhh poor boy" Rufus said sadly.

Ron looked at the naked mole rat and nodded, not saying anything. Ron returned to the bed and sat down and stared at the floor, "She'd pick me over Eric and then cuts me loose?" he thought shaking his head again.

"I never even got a real date, how screwed up is that?" Ron thought angrily.

Then the emotions overtook Ron, he started to shake and then the tears came. Ron raised his palms up and looked at them, "What did I do wrong?" Ron continued to think.

Now the tears flowed freely, Ron looked over at the dresser to see his little friend looking at him sadly. "Oh Rufus, Daddies a loser." He cried.

Ron got off the bed and switched off the light, took his cloths off and sat on his bed with his back against the wall and let it all wash over him. His mind kept trying to grasp it, "I thought I was a good boyfriend, I never had the chance to be a bad boyfriend." He sobbed quietly to himself.

Ron cried for a few hours beating him self up and trying to figure it all out. Ron glanced at the alarm clock. It was 1:30AM; Ron turned to the mirror again and began to tear himself down, "Maybe it was my ears, they stick out from my head and it makes me look cartoonish." He thought sadly.

Ron shook his head trying to come up with answers, Ron looked at his hands, "They look normal, no claws or anything to scare someone away." He mused.

Then he remembered all those guys in the restroom. "They had all been right, and I had been wrong." He thought shaking his head sadly. Ron leaned back against the wall and fell asleep.

Ron woke up in the morning with a sore back from leaning up against the wall all night. His mom woke him up to continue where she left off from last night. Ron just sat there with his mouth open and then he raised his broken hand up a few feet and then sat it back down on the bed.

Ron stared at the mirror and had an imaginary conversation with his mom. "Hi Ron honey, how are you today?" his mom said in his mind.

"Well mom, Kim kicked me to the curb last night, other than that the day is great so far." He answered her.

In his mind he could see his mom's cheery face, "That's nice honey, what are you going to do today?" Ron's mind froze.

He turned his head to look at the mirror, "That's it, that's the real question, isn't it?" he thought.

Ron was amazed how things could just blow into his mind, that's the real question that everything rides on. "What am I going to do now?" he thought to himself.

"I could go down there later and beg for forgiveness…forgive, forgive what? I didn't do anything. Besides once KP makes up her mind about something she never changes it." Ron thought as he threw up his hands.

Ron continued on in his mind, "She wants to just be friends; I don't want TO JUST BE FRIENDS." Ron thought as he gave a heavy sigh.

"I guess it's time to start over." Ron thought as he looked around the room.

Ron started to think, he wanted a car, "Maybe it's time to get a job?" He thought to himself, no longer recoiling from the concept of work.

"She said she'd pick me over Eric and then just wants to be friends, probably just for the missions." Ron thought bitterly.

"Well, that part of my life is over." Ron said it out loud and when he said it out loud, it sounded good.

Ron got out of bed and went to the garage found an empty box and brought it back upstairs. Ron packed up all the photos he had of Kim and himself, he took down his "Oh Boyz" poster, his other posters went as well. Anything that could remind him of child hood was removed. He gathered up his pewter figurines for some role playing game, battle bots cards, he packed it all up and placed the box in his closet.

Today was the first day of Ron Stoppable's life as an adult.

Ron looked around and marveled at how much his room looked like a hotel room now. There were very few items left that would let you know that Ron lived here. Rufus awoke over on the dresser; he took one look and then looked again and looked at Ron questioningly. Ron smiled at Rufus, "You aren't going to be packed up buddy." He told him sadly,

"I'm just boxing up bad memories." He sighed.

Ron sat down at the desk and took out a piece of paper and a pen. He numbered the paper one thru five, he wrote on the top, "5 things I want to do this summer." He started his list:

I want a job

I want a car

I'm not going on anymore missions with Kim

I want to live like a normal person

I want a new girlfriend

The last item sent a chill up Ron's back, he never really thought seriously about any other girl except Kim all these years. Now the thought of not having her didn't seem so bad to him.

Ron scratched his chin, "What does it all mean?" he thought.

Ron stared at himself in the mirror again, "Maybe it means I can be free? No more acting like an idiot to impress Kim. No more missions, now I can do things Ron wants to do, I'm free." Ron felt a large burden being lifted off his shoulders.

Ron walked down the street to get his scooter at Kim's house, there was a note attached to the scooter. He opened the note and read it, "Ron, call me tonight, ok…KP"

Ron wadded the note up and dropped it on the drive way. Ron gave a bitter chuckle, "Yea right, sorry princess, Ron has things to do now." He said it out loud and he meant it.

Ron did feel a pang of regret, he had spent so many years with the Possible's and now that would all be changing. "Mrs. Dr. P had always treated me good, she let me come over and celebrate holidays and birthdays and Monday night pizza night." Ron thought sadly.

Ron shook his head, "Man, I'm gonna miss that, maybe I just misunderstood Kim?" He thought sadly.

"No, I didn't hear her wrong." His thoughts turned to anger.

"Why did she do this?"

Ron rode the little scooter into the drive way and realized, he had no idea what day of the week it was. "Today is Wednesday? Let's see Saturday night I had a girlfriend, Sunday I goofed off all day, Monday I broke my hand in a fight and still had a girlfriend, Tuesday went on a mission and lost a girlfriend. Yes today is Wednesday." He thought to himself, now it was time to go inside and wake up Rufus.

"What a difference a day makes." He thought as he climbed the stairs to his room.
