After tackling with other stories I've decided to do this one and hold off on another that I was thinking about. Please review! KingOAnime.
When in Rome- chapter one- Final Reports
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable were busy staring at the clock to hear Mr. Barkin when he called their names.
"Possible, Stoppable!" he raised his voice in a military tone.
Kim and Ron snapped out of their daydream and looked at their teacher.
"I hope you were paying attention when I talked about your final reports?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Y…yes Mr. B" Ron replied for them both as he handed them a piece of paper with info on the report and their assignment.
"This report will be due in exactly two weeks so you all better snap to it," the bell rang signaling the end of the school day, "Dismissed!" he ordered as everyone made a beeline for the door.
Monique and Felix approached their friends at the couple's locker.
"Spacing out Kim? I can see Ron, but you?" she questioned a little concerned.
"I'm just a little tired Monique; the missions have really been piling up."
"Well what's your subject about?" asked Felix.
"Subject? Oh the paper," Kim took the paper out of her backpack and looked at it, "Ancient Rome." she declared.
"Lucky! Felix and I have to do the French."
"Both of you?" Kim asked.
"Weren't you paying attention at all? You and Ron have to do a two hundred page paper on Rome; together."
Kim glared at Ron with daggers in her eyes.
Ron stumbled back and grinned, "Hey KP I wound disappoint you; I'll work hard with you."
"That's what you said last time and I ended up doing all the work," she gritted through her teeth.
"He doesn't have a choice; Mr. Barkin said that if anyone fails this paper then they won't graduate this year." stated Felix. That got Ron's attention fast.
"O.K. now I promise that I'll work hard; really hard. We'll get an A+ for sure," he smiled which made Kim's glare soften.
"Alright; if you really promise to," she restated pointing at him. He nodded as he and Kim made their way over to cheerleading practice.
After practice Ron and Kim walked to the Possible house to do some early research. This project would decide their fate.
Ron and Kim have been dating for over a year now and they still are going strong. They already have their colleges and majors picked out. Even though they do bicker a lot Monique and Felix say that it's only because they are so in tune with each other; neither of them quite knew what that meant, but they both still loved each other and cared for each other every waking minute of their lives.
Kim and Ron went straight up to her room and began searching the web for anything Roman. They weren't particularly fond of this, but it had to be done.
"So how much have we got KP?" Ron asked placing his hands on her shoulders
"So far we have about seven pages of material," she frowned, "That is nothing; we need a ton more."
Mrs. Possible entered with two glasses of apple juice, "How are you two holding up?"
"We're miserable Mom; we need more info and this computer isn't giving it to us."
"Rome huh?" she asked looking at the paper on Kim's bed, "There is a Roman exhibit that opened just recently at the Middleton museum; how about that?"
Tomorrow was a Saturday so they smiled at this new opening.
"Thanks Mom; you rock!" Mrs. Possible left feeling satisfied that she had helped her daughter.
The next day Kim and Ron were busy looking at Roman artifacts and staring at plaques that contained facts about Roman life. They knew it was for their project, but it was incredibly boring. After seeing everything in the exhibit in only an hour they were ready to leave.
Suddenly Ron accidentally bumped into an older man in a gray suit.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry." said the man as he flashed them a warm smile.
"No it was my fault sir," replied Ron.
"My boyfriend can be a little clumsy sometimes," Kim said wrapping herself around his arm.
"My name is Larry Julianus and I am the curator of the museum."
"My name is Kim Possible and this is my boyfriend Ron Stoppable; pleasure to meet you."
"Did you enjoy the exhibit?" he asked.
"It was okay," Ron replied sounding unexciting.
"You sound as if it killed you," he said.
"It's not that it's just Ron and I have this huge paper due in two weeks and we just can't seem to find enough information about the Romans."
"But that's the beauty of it; if you look hard enough then everything you need is right in front of you. The Romans were a great civilization; we owe a lot to them."
"Sorry mister, but what I've seen so far the Romans were only primitive barbarians who loved to kill," said Ron; Kim had to agree with him.
"I'm sorry you feel that way; please take these as a gift from the museum," Larry handed them each a small necklace that was made of wood and had an unusual carving on it.
"What is it?" Kim asked inspecting it.
"The Ancients believed that these brought good luck and fortune; I hope that these help you as well."
They looked really tacky to them, but Ron and Kim put them on to humor him. Larry was waving goodbye to them as they left the museum and made their way back to Kim's house.
Soon they were back in business; Kim and Ron began writing any facts about Rome. They would then compare and start writing a rough draft. Kim was impressed by Ron's determination to complete this. Ron noticed her staring at him.
"What is it Kim; do I have something on my face?" he asked feeling his face for anything that shouldn't be there.
"I'm just really proud of you; you have been the busy little bee so far. I think you deserve a reward," she cooed as she slowly crawled towards him and began seductively kissing him. Ron couldn't resist and soon deepened the kiss.
In an instant there was nothing but kissing for minutes on end. After at least fifteen minutes of making out Kim and Ron just laid there staring at each other. Kim interlocked her fingers with Ron's and smiled as he smiled back.
Their eyes got heavy and soon fell asleep; still wearing the necklaces.
Suddenly Kim and Ron heard their names being called and opened their eyes. When they did they saw Larry staring at them. They jumped off the bed and stayed back wondering how he got in.
"What are you doing in here, how did you get in?" she demanded holding Ron.
"I didn't mean to startle you, but it is morning already," he said.
"How did you get in my room?"
"Oh, this isn't just your room it's Ron's room too."
The two teens looked around and realized that they weren't in Kim's room anymore. Columns were all around them and paintings and sculptures adorned the wall space.
"Where are we?" asked Ron.
"Why you are in the great imperial city of Rome, it's about four hundred A.D. and Emperor Honorius currently reigns."
At first they didn't believe it; it must be a dream.
"Pinch me," said Kim to Ron, "I need to know if this is truly a dream or not."
Ron lightly pinched her arm and received a yelp from Kim.
"Well it isn't a dream; maybe it's a hologram."
Ron started to run but soon tripped on his…toga?
In fact both Kim and Ron had on completely different attire. Kim was wearing a silk tunic with what appeared to be an outer cloak of wool. Ron had on sandals and a toga, which went down to his ankles.
Larry then pointed to a window where they could see hundreds of Roman citizens walking around and talking. Kim had never seen anything like this before.
"So who are we then?" asked Ron.
"You are Ronicus the merchant, who owns and operates over a hundred shops here. Your lovely and faithful wife Kimonus stays at home and maintains the house with the servants."
"Why are you doing this?" Kim asked as she began to get worried and confused.
"To help you see that the Romans were not primitive barbarians as you made them out to be," Larry proclaimed, "You two need to experience the life of a Roman and this is the only way to do it."
"For now I will leave you, but do not worry you two will do fine I promise; have fun!" and with that he disappeared without a trace.
Ron and Kim were stuck in Ancient Rome; what could they do?Kim held onto Ron very tightly; she was confused and afraid.
"What do we do Ron?" she hardly asked for help like this, but this was completrly out of her league.
"Well you know what they say; When in Rome do what the Romans do and it appearswe need to act like Romans; at least until we figure out why this is happening."
As the two looked out at the huge city they were filled with fear, confusion, and excitment. This would be a time to size=1 width=100% noshade>What will they do? How will they react? Find out in the next chapter! Please review! KingOAnime.
