-In Kim's car.-

"So what time do you get off from work?" Kim asked as she and Ron were waiting in front of a traffic light.

Ron pulled out his schedule, going through a couple of pages until he finally found his shift.

"Uhm, says here I'm done by eight……Bueno Nacho?" he said with his own version of the puppy dog pout.

Kim chuckled as she saw him trying to use her trademark pout "Alright, alright, Bueno Nacho it is."

They continued talking for another couple of minutes until Kim finally drove up the parking lot for Smarty Mart.

"I'll be here by 8.15, ok?" Kim said as Ron opened the door and got out of the car.

"Got it KP, see you later." he returned before closing the door.

Kim shook her head "Always the romantic.." she thought as she saw him go towards the entrance of the building.

She pulled out her Kimmunicator to check for messages, not noticing that Ron turned around and walked back to the car, suddenly he knocked against the window with a goofy grin.

"What's wrong, did you forget something?" She asked of him as she lowered the window.

He grinned and stuck his head through the opening, giving her a loving kiss "Yeah, I forgot to properly say goodbye to my girlfriend, I hope she doesn't mind." He said jokingly as he pulled back.

"I think she won't mind if you make it up with her by buying dinner later." Kim said with a sly look on her face.

Ron grinned as he walked towards the entrance again. "Got it KP, see you later."

Kim smiled as she closed the window, started the car and made her way to Middleton Mall.

"Guess he can be romantic when he wants to be." Kim happily thought to herself as she drove over to work.

The last few days that they spent together were absolutely perfect, Ron and Kim usually spent most of the day together but she couldn't remember the last time both of them really had the time to just relax and enjoy each others company for a while.

She thought about many things that Ron and her could do when they finally graduated, maybe she'd cash in a few favors and make a few trips, she always did tell him that he owed her another night in Paris after the love-ray incident with Wade.

After a little while of driving, Kim finally pulled up in the Middleton Mall parking lot, as soon as she walked into Club Banana, Monique flung around her neck.

"Hey there girl, how've you been, all of us have been worried sick around here, you sure you're ok to work now, how's Ron ?" Monique asked, acting as if she hadn't seen her in ages.

"Whoa calm down Mon." Kim said, returning Monique's hug. "We're all right, we just got a little shook up, that's all, so how have you been holding down the fort here?"

Monique couldn't wait to inform Kim about everything that had happened, how most of the Middleton High students had helped in cleaning up the mess the Lowardians made by destroying the stage where they were supposed to graduate and how they didn't ask them to help because they were afraid the two of them were tired enough as it is.

They talked about everything that day, from the newest trends to what they were both planning to do after graduation.

"So what are you up to tonight?" Monique asked as she locked to door to Club Banana.

"I think me and Ron are gonna head on over to Bueno Nacho now and call it a night after that, can't forget about graduation tomorrow." Kim said as she walked towards the parking lot with Monique.

"You guys are gonna head out to the beach party tomorrow right?" Monique asked of Kim as they got to her car.

"Ya duh." Kim said as she fished out her keys and got into the car."As soon as Ron tells his mom about it, I swear, sometimes it's like he's living in a world of his own."

Monique laughed as she heard her best friend say that about her boyfriend. "Might be girl, but you know you love him anyway, I'll see you tomorrow ok?"

Kim nodded to Monique as she started the car and waved to her as she drove off to pick up Ron from Smarty Mart. It was only a short drive to Ron's work and he was already waiting outside when Kim arrived so he immediately got into the car.

"KP, no time to lose, pedal to the metal!" Ron said in a panic as soon as he got into the car and strapped himself in.

"Why the drama, Ron?" Kim asked as she raised her eyebrow, a little disturbed by Ron's strange behavior.

Ron looked behind him in a panic and turned pale as soon as he saw Barkin storm out of the front door.

"STOPPABLE!" Barkin yelled as soon as he saw Ron in the car, storming towards him while continuing his rampage. "Wait till I get my hands on you Stoppable, why the heck did you order 50 crates of gerbils, it's...it's just sick...and WRONG!"

As soon as she saw Barkin in a frenzy, Kim floored the gas pedal and made sure they got out of there, they probably wouldn't have heard the last of it, seeing as they would still have to face Barkin in the morning.

"Ron, what were you thinking, ordering so many animals!?" Kim asked, visibly irritated as this was the last thing she wanted to end her day.

As soon as she looked towards him sitting in the car, she knew something was wrong, Ron wasn't being his usual cheery self, he actually looked tired. She pulled the car over when they got to the beginning of their street, looking to Ron as if something was wrong with him.

"Ron..are you okay?"she asked, putting her hand on his head to check if he had a fever.

Suddenly Ron grabbed her hand and nudged his head against her shoulder. "I'm sorry KP..., I hardly got any sleep tonight, I'm still kinda nervous about graduation tomorrow. It's just...I don't know...I guess I'm still afraid I'm going to lose you."

Kim squeezed his hand tightly and put her head against his. "You big dummy, I already told you, I'm not going anywhere yet, you're not going to lose me, I promise."

Ron then looked at her for a few seconds, taking in the face of the person who had been the most important person to him since Pre-K before he inched his head forward and caught her lips in a passionate kiss.

Pulling back, he looked into those beautiful green eyes as he cupped her chin, her still being a bit dazed as he caught her off guard.

"KP...I love you."

"I...love you too Ron, and I don't want to lose you either.." she responded with tears in her eyes as she scooted over to his seat and sat down in his lap, nudging against him as close as she could.

They both were more tired as they thought they were as sleep finally caught up with them and they just drifted away peacefully together.
