Ron finished writing the letter to his parents. He was fifty miles away from his new apartment in Go City. Licking the flap, Ron shuddered at the horrible taste, then dropped it into the slot in the mailbox. Ron was thankful that he didn't waste all of his next naco royalties check as he climbed inside his blue convertible. True, he had secretly placed half of it in Kim's bank account without her knowing before he left, but he still had 44.5 million in his account. Turning on the ignition, Ron pulled out of the small town's post office and headed back to Go City. On the way back, Ron thought about how the world had changed. He had never thought he would leave Kim, but he here was, separated from Kim for the first time in fourteen years. Thinking back, Ron realized just how reluctant both he and Kim were to leave each other. He grasp hs pendant tightly. He loved Kim, and he knew she loved him, so why were they so reluctant to become more than just friends. Was it the fact that they thought of each other as siblings for so long? Well, everything changes.

Your hearts beating around the clock,

Time ticking away it doesn't stop.

Evolution is taking place.

The world is spinning and changing every day

Kim hung up as she finished talking to her mother and father, and even the twins. They'd begged her to tell them where she was, but she refused to tell them. Why, Kim wasn't exactly sure; perhaps she thought they would tell Ron where she was. But was that such a bad thing? No, it really wasn't. So why wouldn't she tell her parents where she was, just that she was safe? Kim shrugged to herself. Still, she wasn't bad off. She'd gone to the bank to see how much she had in her account, and was shocked when she had 44.5 million in there. There was just one conclusion: Ron had slipped it into her account without her knowledge. With this she had bought herself a nice house and a black convertible detailed with red flames in Go City.

Anything you think of with a name,

there isn't anything in life,

That ever stays the same

Mrs. Dr. P. hung up the phone as her daughter did the same. She wished Kim would tell her where she was, but Kim wouldn't budge. Her father had to face a startling reality: His daughter had grown up, but not entirely, not quite, just enough to be on her own. Her husband had been quite furious with Kim until she convinced him that, no, she hadn't run off with Ron. Jim and Tim had shoved each other aside quite a bit trying to be the first to talk to Kim. Mrs. Dr. P. gave a sad smile at the phone. At least Kim had the sense to call. The Stoppables hadn't heard anything from Ronald. She sighed. So much had changed, yet so little had also.

And everything changes, changes,

Things are changing constantly

Everything has got to change.

Kim climbed into her convertible with her purse and a grocery list. She didn't have any food, and she had to get some. Normally Kim would avoid Smarty Mart, but she really didn't care now. It had been silly of her to buy the same stuff at higher prices. Pulling into the Smarty Mart parking lot, Kim swung out of the convertible and entered the store. Her list consisted of some simple things just so she cook. There she went again, remembering stuff she didn't want to remember, like Ron and him teaching her to cook. Her culinary skills had improved greatly as of late, so she wouldn't make the kitchen look like a Diablo invasion. Grabbing some milk, bread, eggs, bacon, juice, milk, and bananas, Kim set them down in the cart, then headed toward the check out stand.

You take a chance,

You throw the dice,

You risk it all - it's just a part of life (just a part of life)

You hold on tight to what you know,

You can't hold back - You've got to let it go

Every little step that you embrace

One road ends, another begins

And takes you to a better place

And everything changes, changes,

Things are changing constantly

And everything changes, changes

Its evoluntionary

Everything changes, changes

Changing all the time,

Ron Stoppable was just entering Go City, still lost in his thoughts. Now becoming more preoccupied with the maniacal drivers of Go City, Ron contemplated why he chose Go City. Perhaps because it was so big, no one could find him. Ron headed to his apartment, turning onto another street. Waiting for the light to turn green, Ron tried to clear his head of his reluctance to leave Middleton. He missed his parents, and Felix. But the two things he missed the most were Kim and Rufus. Rufus- when he and Kim had run out of the gym, he'd left the little guy on the buffet table leaning against Monique. How stupid of him. Ron was so preoccupied with thoughts of Rufus that he almost didn't notice that the light had turned green. Ron pulled out into the intersection- and was sideswiped by a black convertible. Groaning as the airbag popped out in his face and smacked his head against the back of his seat, Ron undid his seatbelt to check on the other driver. What he saw stopped his blood cold. A very familar shade of auburn hair was draped over the limp head of the driver that was resting on the door. Ron noticed something glittering on the street. Approaching it, Ron stopped when he was a few feet from it and the car. It was a pendant on a chain necklace.

No way.

oohhhhhhhhh!
