Authors Note: So this story seems to have taken a direction of more Teen Drama than it has with Romance and classic Kim Possible. Chapter 4 needs to end and then I'll start covering the rest of 'Season 3'.

My Favorite Part, though I didn't bring them up in the last chapter, I will bring them up here.

The Reviews;

Cajunbear73: It is a different take than what happened in canon. I somehow always come back to the Moodulator when I want to jump off on these stories, with the exception of Time After Time. But yes, Ron wants Kim how she is. He wants to take things slow and have Kim remain Kim rather than imagine her in something tight and lowcut.

Joe Stoppinghem: I gave it a listen last night and just finished it today. I really enjoyed it.

Guest: I'm sorry, but the review you posted was before the document change which was a(n accidental) repost of "For the Fannies." If you still come back to it, give it another chance, thank you.

Reading Recommendation: What if Kim and Ron never met? I know you've read this story before, but what if they never met? When Ron was in Junior High he lost a dear friend of his to Popularity which turned him cold, can his new friend help him open up and repair what was damaged? Go check out the still in progress Story 'A Lot Like Love' by yvj.

Chapter 3: The New Kid in Town

Kim exited her house with Ron who was eating a bit of the left-over breakfast.

"you see some new kid moved into the house across the street?" Kim asked.

"well there was a van yesterday." Ron shrugged, "didn't pay any mind." As if by on cue, the Boy across the street came out of his house, headphones in his ears and his jean jacket matched his jeans. He stuck his hands into his pockets and kept walking.

"he looks tough." Ron said.

"he's about your build." Kim said, "there's nothing to be scared of."

"so if I went up to him to talk to him?" Ron asked.

"I don't think he can hear you."

The two didn't see The Boy again until lunch time. It was that one day of the week where the lunch lady decided to make something Edible for lunch that day, leaving Ron to take a break from giving his critiques. The boy sat alone at a table, drawing as he ate a fry from the tray. The table was two down from Kim and one from the senior table.

"Oh No." Ron said, "he's sitting at the Hawaii of the senior table."

"maybe we should warn him."

Brick Flagg, the High School Quarter back and main squeeze of Bonnie Rockwaller came over to take the chairs for everyone at the table. Leaving only one. Brick went back over and took the other chair, dumping him out of the chair and onto the floor.

"Dude." The boy said "I was sorta using that."

"well" Brick smirked "might want to find plenty more."

"with…all these students around using them…yeah how rude would that be?" The boy smirked, "give the chair back."

Brick saw a challenge, he smiled. Bonnie began to gush. Brick shoved the boy, who went with the movement.

"push me again, see what happens."

Kim stood up, Ron held her back. Brick pushed the boy again, who grabbed brick by the wrist and twisted his arm. Tripping him causing him the hit his head on the table.

"Say it." The boy growled.

"Eat Sh-" The boy twisted his arm harder. "UNCLE! UNCLE!" the boy let go. Brick crawled back over. Kim and Ron stood there in shock. Bonnie went over, she flipped her hair and put on a smile.

"So…you new arou-"

"Go fuck yourself." The boy said, Bonnie walked away back to the table.

"he…"

"Bonnie…"

"seriously…"

The boy sat down. Everyone looked at him, Kim and Ron walked over to him.

"Hi…um…I'm Ron Stoppable." Ron said introducing himself. The boy looked up, he smiled.

"and I'm Kim Possible." Kim followed.

"Cal" he said.

Cal walked out of Middleton high with Kim and Ron.

"so Dude, what was that earlier?"

"I don't like bullies." Cal answered, "I also don't like disloyal girls who would ditch their boyfriends if they lose in a fight."

"frankly it's been a long time coming." Ron patted Cals back. "so you're new here?"

"just moved here." Cal shrugged "last place was…a little too…hot."

"well, there's no place like the Colorado Rockies."

"thanks for the warm welcome." Cal smirked again.

The three friends entered Cals home. Two girls around the age of 6 and 7 sat at the table, one girl sat on the sofa discussing politics over the phone while another girl sat in a chair. Ron had to give the catholic cross.

"Four…sisters?" Cal nodded. "as in…1-2-3-4?"

"yeah." Cal answered, "make it sound like that's scary."

The woman from before came from behind the wall, she ran a towel along a bowl, she nudged at Cal and smiled.

"so…you brought home a girl." She said.

"Ma." He said, "the guy behind her is her boyfriend."

"Hot redhead?" the girl on the sofa chuckled "I'd expect you to bring home a brunette."

"he almost did." She smirked, "told her to basically to go fuck herself."

"he just became her hero." Ron smiled.

"so I take it your first day at school went well?" The woman asked.

"well enough." He sighed "where's dad?"

"out of town again." The woman said, "asked to get the girls bikes going here in a bit."

"I'll get to it." Cal took his jacket off and walked to the garage with Kim and Ron following behind. The garage held 5 unassembled bicycles. Cal picked which one to do first.

"all these?" Kim asked.

"yeah." Cal chuckled "girls go to 3 separate schools."

"and your dad?"

"out of town." He sighed "by this rate I'll never get to mine."

"why don't you just work on it now?" Ron asked.

"cause it's…after 4 and I need to get to bed at 8." Cal joked, "my question is, why are you two still here? Don't you two have other things to do?"

"WHOA!" Ron shouted, "personal business."

"I was…" Cal smirked, "talking about the Missions."

"Oh." Ron calmed down, Kim laughed.

"our…intel lets us know when we get one."

"gotcha." He put on a pair of gloves "what about couple things? You know, pick out wallpaper, new floral patterns, criticize his eating habits."

"hey, she likes the pudge thank you very much." Ron folded his arms.

"Ron for the last time you're not that pudgy."

"Probably a bad time to bring this up when you have access to sharp things." Cal said cocking a brow.

"Dude…great you just pissed off a redhead." Ron said.

"wouldn't be the first time." Cal took out a razor blade and went over to a box "or the last for that matter."

"cracking jokes at your own expense?" Kim smiled, Cal smiled back.

"I Like him," Ron said, "you know first impressions, not a guy to mess with, but really one to talk to."

"Something seemed off." Kim said.

"like what?"

"well…" she said, "he didn't hit on me for one."

"well he told his family that I was your boyfriend."

"even before." She stopped "I mean I'm grateful he didn't but what's wrong with him?"

"Kim, I don't think we're in the position to judge his dating status." Ron folded his arms "plus if he is what you suspect, please don't freak out."

"freak out? How do you mean?" Kim shot him a look "I do not freak out."

"Two Words, My love." He held up two fingers "Felix Renton." He shrugged "So what if he is?"

It was 9pm. Kim walked over across the street. Cal was wandering around the garage getting out the gear lubricant.

"finished them all?" Kim asked, Cal looked back and smiled.

"almost." Cal answered, "let me guess. You had your guy look me up."

"something seemed off about you." She folded her arms. Cal made sure the spray was working, "everything came back…almost positive."

"and that's a problem?"

"enough Detention records to make Barkin want to pass out." She answered, "and yet ever at the side of Justice."

"Barkin" he laughed "the Physics/Math/English/Vice Principal."

"Tucson, Lived with your mother in a rundown trailer park where there'd be a drug deal that went down every other day." She looked at him "she married twice and divorced twice."

"did he…also tell you that she spent my entire time trying to get women to get into bed with me?" he set the can down "or that she tried to ruin a good relationship between two people all for the sake of wanting to see her son find the right girl."

"so you are…you know…"

"No." he said, "just refuse to be an asshole to someone like your boyfriend who happens to have someone out of his damn league."

"no need to be mean about it." Kim said, "so let me guess…you moved here because your mother was a little…"

"Yeah," Cal knelt, "Bonnie reminds me of her. no sense of loyalty unless they can protect her but willing to screw over the next guy who gets shown up."

"where'd you learn to fight?"

"small. Simple things." He sprayed the gear cables, squeezing the brakes as he went. "why did you come here?"

"to confirm my suspicions."

"Possible." He said.

"most guys around here…" she exhaled "hit on me."

"and?"

"and well…" she sighed "you didn't."

"you're with Stoppable," Cal sprayed a bit more of the Lubricant.

"yeah." she smiled "happily."

"so." He shrugged, "why's that matter? Can you lift up the back for me please?"

Kim did as she was instructed, Cal turned the pedals and pressed the brakes, he gestured for her to set it down as the tire stopped.

"because…" she shrugged, "I don't have an answer for that."

"here's the way I see it." He set the can down, he went over to the table, poured himself some soda and took off his gloves, "guys see a cute girl, like yourself, drop dead gorgeous, can have any guy they want." He shrugged "and she's' with some goofball who wonders how they get the ship into a bottle. So they hit on her. two ways to go; the relationship ends, or the relationship gets stronger."

"so why didn't you?" Kim asked. Cal poured her some soda.

"because…" he exhaled "you're in love with Stoppable, and it shows."

"so you are…"

"Straight." He smiled "plus there's this cute blonde in Barkins office who won't give me the time of day."

"the one with the-" Kim waved her finger around her chest, Cal nodded, "I know her. smart. Pretty. Kind of shy."

"so. All this because I didn't hit on you."

"well your music reminds me of my parents." She took a sip of her soda, "and as for the not use of power tools…"

"eh, well…what can I say." he smiled "I have the patience of a saint."

"can I ask you something?" Kim set the cup down.

"shoot." Cal answered.

"as a guy…when do you think the right time is…ready?"

"I'm not the person to talk to about this." He walked over to a milk crate, took out the Smarty Mart bag and started putting on the locks.

"I mean…" she exhaled, "when in a relationship?"

"when it's nearly the end of your world and you finally need to open up." Cal shrugged. "the heck do you want me to say?"

"I needed a guy's opinion." Kim sighed, "I mean…we've known each other for 12 years. and we started dating last weekend."

"and you think now would be a better time as any to grow up." Cal looked up. "Lock one is done." He took out another lock, "when the time is right. He can't tell you when he's ready and you can't tell him. he'd be excited and scared all at the same time."

"you ask as if you know." Kim smiled, Cals eyes softened, "oh…"

"Stoppable is a good guy." He adjusted the screw on the lock, "anyone tries to come between you two answers to me." He smiled.

"Thanks." She smiled, she walked over to the garage door and she turned back. "her name is Gwen, just in case you were wondering." Cal looked up and nodded, "see you tomorrow?" Cal nodded again.

"so now he gives you a sort of…what was it vibe?"

"young body old soul I guess." She exhaled "he's not that bad. In fact, I think he'd be a good friend."

"Told ya." Ron smiled through his Orange Juice. "think he can fix my bike?" Kim shrugged.

Cal exited the house with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"thought you had a bike?" Ron said.

"That one, is for my other project."

"Other Project," Kim asked.

"I can have projects."

"you're 17?"

"would you rather I get caught in the Janitors closet making out with Bonnie?"

"No cause then they'll just give you detention." Kim smirked, "careful though, Ron got hit in the face with the broom."

"Twice."

"okay I was just joking about the janitor's closet." He took a sip of his coffee.

"Seriously?" Ron asked, "Animal Crossing?"

"maybe I want to get away from the fighting games every so often."

"next thing you'll tell me is that your other favorite meditation game is Minecraft" Ron folded his arms.

"Fine." Cal put his coffee cup in his backpack "then I won't tell you." Kim laughed, "I mean, what's the big deal? I can like multiple games."

"he's got a point, Ron." Kim folded her arms.

"Yeah but Animal Crossing?" Ron said.

"better than being all about one genre. Better than being Toxic gamer." Cal Stopped, Ron looked in the direction Cal was facing the Bike Rack to see a blonde haired girl in jeans and a hoodie which was half way zipped. Her half-rimmed glasses covered by the bits of hair that was not up in a ponytail. Cal smiled a bit.

"go talk to her." Kim urged.

"Who?" Cal asked.

"Gwen." She answered.

"Nah." Cal said as he continued to walk.

"Dude. Listen to her she knows her stuff." Ron said.

"what's the worst that can happen?"

"she shoots me down and I end up having to change schools?" as they entered the school, Gwen kept getting looks from passing students "besides I'm still new here so I'm not really her type."

"Types aren't really considered a definite." Kim held up Ron's hand, "just look at us."

Gwen came out of the girl's locker room during gym. She wore her hoodie as everyone stared at her. Kim walked right up to her.

"hey Gwen." She smiled.

"Hey Possible." Gwen said calmly, "are you…here to be a distraction?"

"for the last time the girls aren't going to splash you with Pigs blood." She sneered "and I had nothing to do with them splashing water on you, I was in Baton Rouge at the time."

"well my answer still stands" she sighed "no place on your squad for a top-heavy cheerleader."

"That's… not why I'm here…" she rubbed the back of her neck, "you know Cal?"

"The new guy who took down Brick Flag and Two moves?" she asked, "what about him?"

"he's cute isn't he?"

"he's…uh…well… uh… he sort of…looked at me."

"I'm sorry…he's a pig."

"in the eyes." She blushed, "he's…Kind of cute…but…um…"

"'um' what?" Kim asked, "come on, just us girls."

"he's…well…mysterious." She shrugged, "I don't know anything about him. and he's…uh…."

"he's going to join us at lunch today." She smiled "why don't you join us, get to know him."

"oh. I can't…I have to reorganize the graphic novels in the Library…and then…"

"the comics will be fine." Kim assured her.

Kim entered her next class with Ron.

"guess who is planning on fixing up those two kooky kids?"

"you didn't." Ron said.

"yep. She's joining us for lunch." Kim did a spin "Cal and Gwen will be together by the end of this week. I can feel it in my soul."

"do you ever think that maybe…just maybe…she doesn't…" Ron tried to find his words "you know…like him in that way."

"she said he was cute." Kim answered, "and mysterious."

"yes which can sometimes be girl code for not a good combination." Ron said, "come on you're a girl you should know this."

"please." Kim smiled "My days of falling for Tall, Dark, Handsome and mysterious are Long gone."

"KP." Ron sighed, "what if he crashes and burns. Do you really want him to be working on 10 bikes a week?"

"is this about animal crossing?"

"this has nothing to do with that game." They both sat down, "I mean, we're still in high school. What if this is something he can't get over until he's…you know in his early 30's."

"he'll be fine." Kim smiled "he's got 4 sisters and Me. She hurts him, I'm sure they'll put her in the morgue."

"sounds kind of Gaiman if you ask me." Ron sat back folding his arms, only to receive looks from the entire class, "What? I was talking about Neil…oh you people need to read a comic."

"how can something smell rotten, moldy and burnt all at the same time?" Cal asked the lunch lady shot him a look.

"you know, the lunch yesterday, very satisfying," Ron said.

"yes, compared to my last school…" Cal said, "They didn't dissolve into powder instantly."

"oh god…" the lunch lady said, "there's two of you."

Kim sat next to Monique. she looked at her boyfriend and Cal who were heading back over.

"so…you went over last night."

"I had a gut feeling." She said, "luckily…I was wrong."

"so how are you and Ron doing?" Monique asked.

"better than before." She answered, "least I know what he wants right." She looked around the cafeteria, "and where's that girl?" Ron and Cal set down their trays. "you two fine now?"

"turns out he has the same taste in food."

"thought Felix was your Bro?"

"he is." Ron said, "he's just…busy."

"Ma's been hounding me to make friends." Cal defended.

"'Ma'" Monique said, "you say that like you're Italian."

"Only on my stepmothers' side." He smiled, "she's my stepmother."

"so…"

"long story." He stabbed at the cafeteria food, "How can I stab this and it's mushy."

"you…get used to it…" He looked up to meet the gaze of Gwen, who had her hoodie zipped down further and her glasses were off "Hi…Cal…"

"Hi." He said in a high-pitched voice, "Hi." He said in a dreamy tone, "you're Gwen right." He stood up, his hand touching the tray, which slid out from him and towards Kim who caught it, causing Cal to sit back down, but he stood up, "I…uh…meant to do that."

"yeah…uh…can you excuse me…" she walked off. Kim got up and followed her.

Kim found Gwen by the back of the library, organizing the books by title.

"Hey." She said, "so he's a bit of a spaz."

"I could hardly see that." She rubbed her temples "okay…I saw all of it…but I don't mind…"

"then why leave?"

"he…" she sat down against the shelf "Damn. 'Hi Cal' god I was so stupid."

"I think you did well."

Beep Beep Beep-Beep

"not a good time."

"Teen Drama?" he asked.

"Boy trouble." She answered.

"how about evil?" Wade smiled "Hench Co. Came up with a new invention."

"how bad?"

"Literal Evil."
