Ron stared in dumb shock at the inside of his now empty house. Empty, what was going on his parents didn't move did they? Steeping inside he walked through the entryway and into the living room. Empty, no furniture, no pictures hanging on the walls, no ridiculous plastic plant in the corner. The kitchen was bare as well. Nothing in the cupboards, and all the appliances were gone. He continued walking around the downstairs checking every room and finding every room empty.

Leaping up the steps in a single bound, Ron discovered the same thing as he did downstairs. It made no sense where were his parents? Why was the house empty? Question after question raced through his mind, unabated by the fact that he couldn't answer them. Spotting his own door Ron quickly dashed down the hall and literally ripped open his door in a panicked frenzy. Nothing was inside.

Ron collapsed unceremoniously on to the floor. Tucking his legs in under his chin with his arms locked around his legs he began to rock himself back and forth. It was just too confusing. He had only been gone for the summer. He told his parents where and why he was going, and although they hated to see him leave they were still supportive in his decision. They mentioned nothing of moving. Something must have happened, either they had to move suddenly and unexpectedly, or it was something worse something Ron didn't want to even think about.

They moved, something happened and they moved and that was all. His anxiety started to lessen as he convinced himself that everything was alright. Pushing the small voice that questioned why they didn't in the vary least leave a note for him away in the back of his mind. He was letting his fear take control and it was leading him to panicking quivering state. That was unacceptable. Fluidly and full of grace Ron Stoppable stood up and left the empty house.

Ron had matured a lot during his three month stay at Yamanouchi. Shoulders broadened, his face leaning becoming more angular taking on a slightly noble appearance. Even at his average height he had a certain presence about himself that whispered of strength and an unyielding determination. It wasn't something loud and obvious it was subtle something unspoken. It was soothing a source of strength to borrow from by the innocent and ones like himself who choose to go the hard road because it was right and just. They stood just a little bit straighter in his presence their will hardening just a bit more.

The same presence caused the opposite in the corrupted, they felt a sense of unease when he was around. It was the feeling of being watched when you knew you were alone. It caused them to step back instead of forward. It was a subject of an endless, unwinnable debate between Master Sensei and Ron. Was it the mystical monkey power that provided this presence or was it Ron himself. Master Sensei believed it was Ron himself. No matter the reason it was there and anyone who was around him long enough could feel it.

Moving quickly Ron moved in the direction of Felix's house. Like a true ninja Ron did not take the streets but leap from roof top to roof top towards his destination. He could only hope Felix wouldn't be mad at him for not saying good-bye before leaving. Even if he was, though he was still a nice enough guy to share any information he had about Ron's parents.

It was a short trip from Ron's house to Felix's despite the fact they lived on opposite sides of Middleton. The house Felix lived in was a one story ranch (not sure if they every showed his house on the show, but if they did then its part of my AU) that had been built within the last 10 years. Beautiful brick siding decorated the outside. Ron dropped from the roof and landed unscathed in the bushes underneath Felix's window. His room was the only room who's light was still on. Peering through the window Ron spotted Felix at his computer his hand wrapped around a joystick (if you find that sentence questionable, then get your mind out of the gutter) furiously pressing keys on his keyboard. Ron couldn't help but smirk, the guy sure loved his video games. Felix with his back towards the window didn't see the silent intruder enter in through his window.

"That the newest invading space rodents from somewhere deep in outer space?" Ron asked a hint of mischievousness in his voice.

Felix, spun around in his wheelchair at the sound of a strange voice behind him, his joystick in his hand to use as a makeshift club if necessary.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Felix asked his voice loud and filled with nervousness. "Wait... Ron!"

"Hey Felix my man, how you been lately?"Ron asked with an air of forced jovial attitude.

"Where the hell have you been man?" Felix asked angrily, before throwing the joystick at Ron's head.

Sighing loudly Ron caught the joystick and sit it down casually on the bed next to him. "I was in Japan, You remember that school I went to for a week or so as an exchange student? Well, I went back." Ron explained "I know you mad, but I had to get out of Middleton. I'm sure you heard what happened. I am really sorry that I didn't say goodbye to you."

"I'm not mad Ron, I understand why you had to leave. I would probably have done the same thing you did if I was in your situation." Waving his hand in a dismissive gesture. "I'm talking about your parents they disappeared two months ago. The police investigated, but they ended up closing the case and giving it to..."

"Kim..." Ron finished quietly. "She find anything?"

Shaking his head Felix continued "Not a thing, she spent weeks trying to find out what happened. She stopped taking other missions and she resorted to tracking down her arch enemies and confront them about it. Still nothing, Its become an obsession for her." Felix looked up at the apparently new and improved Ron. Eyes filled with sympathy for one of his best friends. "Its kind of strange though, the way she treated you and everything, then when your parents come up missing she stops everything and throws herself into tracking down the kidnappers. It doesn't make sense."

Staring hard yet unfocused at the wall behind Felix he nodded. Why would Kim treat him the way she did only to turn around and put everything she had into find his parents. Things weren't adding up, but Ron was determined to find the pieces to this puzzle and solve it.

"I might know someone who can help me find them"

"Who?" Felix asked

"A teacher of mine back in Japan, but what about the house?" Ron asked "I went home, and everything was gone."

"Reposed, the banks took back the house and sold off its contents to make up for the defaulted mortgage loan. A few of us were able to buy some of your stuff back at the auction."

"Who do you mean by we?" Ron asked.

"Monique, Tara, your truly, and oddly enough Bonnie" Felix answered "Oh yeah, Kim bought some stuff too."

"What did she buy?"Ron looked away from the wall and focused on Felix's perplexed face.

"A microwave, a few pictures that were in your living room. Nothing that was strictly yours. I mean I bought some of your video games and comic books. Monique got some of your smaller pieces of furniture." Felix paused a sly smile spreading across his face. "A blank with little yellow ducks on them."

"She saved blankie?" Ron asked excitedly before flushing red. "Or whatever..."

Choosing to ignore Ron's outburst Felix continued on. "Bonnie bought most of your larger pieces of furniture since she could afford it, and had enough space to store it. Tara, she bought all of your clothes, and when I say all your clothes I mean all your clothes." A knowing smile on his face as he remembered Tara turning a bright pink when she purchased all of Ron's boxer shorts.

"She really shouldn't have. I don't think I can fit into any of my old clothes anymore" Ron said oblivious to Felix's attempt to embarrass him "It was really nice of her though. Actually it was nice of all you guys to by my stuff back for me. I'll pay you all back as soon as I can"

"Don't worry about the money man we were all just glad to do what little we could to help"

Ron smiled warmly at Felix. He was glad to still have such good friends, even after he left without so much as saying goodbye to them.

"I should get going, its late and besides we both do have school tomorrow" Ron said as he turned back towards the window.

"Wait! You think I'm going to let you go back to an empty house? No way man you can crash here for the night. Actually you can stay for as long as you like. My parents won't mind." Felix said

"Are you sure? I don't want to be an nuisance" Ron replied, turning back towards Felix

"Positive, I got a sleeping bag in my closet you can use" Felix said as he wheeled himself over to the closet to get it.

"Why would Kim buy a microwave and my mom's pictures?" Ron suddenly asked.

Without looking back at Ron, Felix replied "Asked her the same thing, she just would look at us weird and change the subject"

"Weird? Weird how?"

"I don't know man, It was like the answer was obvious or something" Felix replied before turning around with a tightly wrapped up sleeping bag in hand. Tossing it to Ron, he then moved himself over to his bed before lifting himself out of his wheelchair and into bed.

"Anything else going on with Kim?" Ron questioned while shrugging off his leather duster, careful to keep his hidden weapons out of Felix's sight. He then unrolled the sleeping bag and carefully laid it on the floor and crawled inside. Felix hit the light switch and everything went dark.

When Felix, didn't reply Ron was about ready to ask again when he heard Felix speak quietly barely above a whisper, yet he was able to hear every word Felix said.

"She's had a lot boyfriends Ron... a lot"
