The Afters

Chapter 2

Kim and Ron were always best friends. Everyone thought they were the perfect example of best friends. But now, everyone thought they were the perfect example of a couple as well. Every time someone saw them they were always holding hands. They always would smooch when someone left the room for even a second. They never really wanted to rush into the relationship, sexually that is. They just weren't like that.

Kim and Ron were now college graduates. Both of them moved back in with their parents who still lived in their same houses. They saw each other daily and went on dates every chance they got. Both of their families were really happy about them dating. They would always have dinner together and talk on the phone a lot more then they used to. But something interesting happened one night when Mrs. Stoppable was talking to Mrs. Possible one night on the phone.

"Hi it's me" Ron's mother began.

"Oh hi, how are you?"

"Fine thanks. I guess your cooking dinner right now, I can hear the stove sizzling."

"Oh yes, what are you up to?"

"Oh, just cleaning Ronald's room. He's changed a lot lately. I mean he used to keep his room some what organized, but this is ridiculous."

"Yes, lately he has been a bit, out of it." Kim's mom sighed.

"So, where is Kim?"

"Oh she went to meet Monique. Guess she was eager to see her since she came back to visit."

"Yes. Well Ron just went for a walk, I have no idea where he is going."

"I'm sure he's fine."

"Yes I know I'm just a little…. wait."

"Huh? Are you alright?"

"Wow, you're not going to believe this."

"Believe what? What happened?"

"I," Mrs. Stoppable paused. "I found a little black box on Ronald's dresser."

"A little black box?"

"Yes, hold on, it may not be."

Knock Knock

"Hold on," Mrs. Dr. Possible stated, "Can I call you back?"

"Okay, bye."

They both hung up as Kim's mom opened the door to find Ron standing there. He looked really nervous. In many opinions, Ron has grown handsomer. His blonde hair grew a bit longer and he got taller. His face matured quite a lot as well.

"Hi, Mrs. Dr. Possible."

"Ron are you alright?"

"Actually," he paused, "Can I talk to you? And Mr. Dr. Possible?"

"Sure, come on in."

All three of them sat in the living room. Ron on the sofa and Kim's parents in chairs.

"Now, Ron what are you such a nervous wreck about?" Kim's dad began.

"I, uh, Jim and Tim aren't home are they?"

"No, they're at the movies with friends."

"Okay, good." He sighed. He took a deep swallow and looked up. "I love Kim, very much."

"Yes we know this." Her mother smiled.

"Well, I was wondering if…" he froze.

"Go on." James said.

Mrs. Dr. Possible clearly aware of the situation rose and walked over and sat next to the young man.

"James, can't you see?"

"What?"

"Ron wants our permission to ask Kim to marry him."

"Oh, okay." He paused, "What!"

"Honey, honey." His wife pleaded. "Ronald is a responsible young man who has a very nice job. He is very loving and compassionate towards our Kimmie and would do anything to make her happy. Don't you agree?" she gave him a stern look.

"Well, my Kimmie. She's my little girl."

"Honey, you have to let her go eventually. Remember when she started saving the world? You wouldn't even let her go out the front door."

"Oh yes."

"So….."

The father paused looking between a picture of Kim and her boyfriend.

"Alright, you have my permission."

"Thank you sir." Ron smiled.

"But promise us." Her dad noted, "You must never break her heart, love her forever and don't take her too far away from us."

"It's a done deal sir." The happy boy rose from his seat and shook his soon to be father-in-laws hand. His soon to be mother-in-law hugged him and smiled.

"Ron, when are you going to ask Kim?"

"Well, I was thinking soon. Well, Christmas is coming up. HAH! I got it! But I'm going to need your help."

They huddled together, talking into the night.

Christmas Morning

"Merry Christmas!" Jim and Tim yelled in synch as they hugged their parents. They still looked a little bit like their younger image was, but they were taller and did not look as much alike. Jim's hair had gotten darker, while Tim's was lighter.

"Merry Christmas guys!"

"Kim, hurry up!" Her mother yelled up the stairs.

"I'm coming!" suddenly a tall beautiful redhead appeared coming down the stairs. It was Kim. Kim, like Ron, has changed in appearance over the years. She has gotten taller with a toned look. Her hair had gotten redder and her eyes have gotten brighter. She also had developed some light freckles, almost identical to Ron's.

"Merry Christmas dear." Her mom hugged her.

"Merry Christmas."

"Come open your presents." Her mother led her to the tree.

"Thanks but first I've got to call Ron. Wish him Happy Holidays." She giggled rushing off to the kitchen. She picked up the cordless phone and dialed his number. She waiting impatiently for someone to pick up, but when they did, she did not like the way things were.

"Hello?" a sobbing voice answered.

"Mrs. Stoppable, this is Kim, is Ron there?"

Her wailing voice grew heavier.

"Are you alright?"

"No dear, Ron isn't" she cried, "HERE!"

"What happened?"

"Someone kidnapped him last night. They left a note. It says, 'If you want your precious son back, Kimberly Ann Possible and only, Kimberly Ann Possible must come to this address. But the address states that this address is in the Artic, and it's Christmas! It also says that if you don't get there by 8:00 tonight, it's curtains for Ronald!"

"NO!" Kim cried, "Don't worry, I'll get him back." She hung up and ran towards the living room. "RONS BEEN KIDNAPPED!" her family gasped. "I need my Kimmunicator." She ran upstairs and found it on her dresser. "Wade!" the screen opened to a boy the same age as the tweebs sitting there with an elf hat on, "Lose the hat Wade." She sighed.

"Hi Kim, merry Christmas." He waved.

"It's not so merry Wade, some one abducted Ron!"

"NO!"

"The ransom note said he's in the Artic, I have to find him. Can you lock him down?"

"Sure thing Kim." He typed on his keyboard. "Done! Here's the map, I'm assuming you need a ride."

"Please and thank you!" Kim sighed hanging up. She quickly changed into her modified battle suit and grabbed her backpack and ran downstairs.

"Kimmie!" her mom yelled.

"Mom, dad, I'm sorry, but Ron's life is in danger. I'll be back soon. Tweebs don't touch my presents!" she ran out the door and climbed onto a ladder that was hanging from the sky.

"She has no idea…" her dad giggled.

"What's going on?" the twins asked.

Her parents didn't answer.

"RON!" Kim yelled busting through the door. There was no one, the room was dark, only a candle was lit. "Ron? Where are you." She looked at her watch, "Oh no, it's 8:00. NO! WHY DID THE JET HAVE TO HAVE REPAIRS!"

"Relax KP, I'm still here." The door shut behind her.

"Ron?"

The lights went up. Ron appeared in front of her.

"Merry Christmas Kim." He smiled.

"RON!" she hugged him.

"You ready for your present Kim, I managed to take it here."

"Sure," she smiled. "Then, I'll find that guy who kidnapped you and totally kick his butt!"

"Okay, Kim. Look up." She did so, it was mistletoe.

"Mistletoe?"

"Look in the mistletoe." Ron blushed. Something glimmered and sparkled within the leaves.

"Ron," Kim gasped. Rufus, who was hanging in the mistletoe, brought the shiny object down to Ron, who was on one knee. Kim began to cry as she saw him looking up at her.

"Kim, you are my everything. I have always loved you, and I always want to be with you. I want you to be the first thing I see in the morning, and the last thing I see at night. I want you to have my name, I want you to be my wife. Kimberly Ann Possible, will you marry me?"

She nodded, as she cried and kissed him.
