KP in Ron's Halloween
AN: Ron has another Halloween as per tradition with her, or does he? Ron has another Halloween that he's looking forward to after that last one where he had Roachie help him. However this time he had to promise up and down that he would NOT pull a trick like that again or he would not get any treats from her for a very, very long time! This is that Halloween, or is it?
Chapter E: Eternity?
Ron ran all over town in his excitement to help Kim. He didn't want to go by any faster means because that meant he might miss the next message from Kim or whoever the "She" that he was looking for.
One thing that Ron knew and that aside from him, whoever he found in Middleton would have to know something! Middleton was a ghost town, where it had once been so full of life and amazing promises.
Of course Ron also knew that it hadn't helped with all the times the villains had taken over the Earth and that the great Villain War had also nearly destroyed everything only to somehow be saved by Team Go lead by Shego of all people!
Ron had been stunned when he saw Shego on the TV screen saving the world, but then when Shego had realized that the villains were being too stupid to see what they were doing was going make their little war pointless! He realized the same thing she did, that unless someone put a stop to the other villains, then there would be no Earth to conquer!
Ron sighs for a moment at the memory where Shego had seemed to return to the good side but it had all been a setup for her to become the top villain and take over the world after she saved it from the stupidity of all the other villains.
Ron thinks, "Even Shego didn't mess with Middleton until it was on it last gasps. In fact she had been the one to drive the final nail in its coffin and turn it into the ghost town it is today." That particular memory was so bitter that he didn't even bother going down that memory lane to recap it.
He didn't know what to do after he had run to all his usual hangouts that he shared with Kim. He decides to return to the cross and see if Kim will give him another clue because he as sure didn't know what to do next.
Ron arrives at the spot where he'd heard Kim talking to him and is surprised to find a little white envelope on it with little Halloween patterns in the shape of black cats and green witches. He says, "Hey, this wasn't here before..." as he picks it up and opens it.
Ron pulls the letter out and reads it quietly to himself with his eyes slowly widening until he gulps. He says, "I had hoped to have to never go there again." After a moment lost in his thoughts he shook his head to snap himself out of it before he then says, "I guess I gotta go if I wanna help Kim!"
Ron drops the letter and envelope before he starts to run and though he knew Kim was long gone, he still shouts, "I'm coming KP!" The letter and envelope both vanish in a puff of purple smoke before either of them ever touch the ground.
What Ron had not noticed in his haste to help his best friend from long ago, was the presence of someone watching him and the eyes that followed him as he ran were most definitely not Kim's.
The silent, unnoticed person watches as Ron again forgets his ride in his haste and with a bemused smirk it stays where it is until Ron has vanished from sight. Once Ron is gone, the person walks slowly over to where the white cross is and stops in front of it to look down at the picture of Kim.
A breeze stirs and the person appears to be listening for a few moments before the person nods and with a hand grabbing the furthest corner of a long cape. The person spins briefly, disappearing in a puff of purple smoke. The purple smoke briefly touches Kim's picture and oddly enough the Kim in it seemed more happier than before.
Ron thinks, "I got to help Kim! It is all my fault that she was killed! She was just trying to prank me back for that incident with Roachie! Then I have to go and mess things up by letting my old monkey fears overwhelm me for a moment!"
After a while of running, he starts to slow down until he was moving at a snail's pace as he approached the spot the letter told him to go.
Ron thinks, "I'm here... I wish Rufus was here. I sure could use his help in this sitch." He then realizes that he'd just called a situation a sitch just like Kim did ever since pre-k because she couldn't say situation back then and it had just become a habit for her as Ron had taken a liking to that word.
Ron walks up to the house that had been the cause of a few nightmares for him ever since that Halloween when the both of them had been sucked into it only to be released unharmed later. He thinks, "Yeah, but it was Kim that saved you both because you couldn't do anything." After frowning and gritting his teeth in determination he adds in thought, "Well, I guess it is my turn to do the same for Kim."
Ron stands in front of the door and takes a deep breath to steady his nerves. He says, "Ok... here goes nothing."
Ron knocks on the door, fully expecting to be sucked through it but instead the door opens slowly to reveal an redhead woman who causes Ron to blink and then drop his jaw in surprise for two reasons.
The first reason was because he had thought that everyone in Middleton had left after it had been turned into a creepy ghost town. The second reason which was the cause of the jaw drop was because if Kim had lived, then the woman standing in front of him looked exactly as he imagined how Kim would grown up to become.
The woman had long, red hair with some gray in it to match Ron's own and she had those same bright green eyes that he'd always known and knew that even in a mask, he could pick out her eyes and know it was her. She was wearing a somewhat recent shirt covered by an old sweater, which made Ron where she could have gotten it with no stores in Middleton anymore. She wore a pair of comfortable looking sweatpants with a strip running up along the left side.
Ron simply could not believe his eyes! He blinks a couple times after staring at her until it felt his eyes were drying out. He closes his eyes for two seconds and then when he opens his eyes again to see that she was still there, he rubs at his eyes again before he opens and closes his mouth in an attempt to talk but nothing came out. It was as if his brain had forgotten how to speak!
The woman tilts her head as she waits for him to state his business and smiles as she watches his reactions to just looking at her. She clearly was not used to being stared at and especially in such a comical way.
The woman can't help but giggle at Ron as he clearly tries to say something but clearly was unable to form the words. She smiles and says, "I didn't know I was that beautiful... You flatter me kind sir."
Ron thought he'd been blown away by the way the woman looked at him, as he considered that she just bore a remarkable resemblance to his childhood friend. When he heard her talk, it cinched it in his that as impossible as it seemed, the woman in front of him was none other than Kim Possible!
The fact that he was staring and hearing a Kim his age at a spooky house simply became too much for him and the eyes roll up into his head as he faints from the overwhelming shock of it all. All that he remembered as he passed out was the woman's voice saying just like how he remembered whenever she was worried about him only she didn't call out his name, she simply cries out, "Sir!" After that, the world went black.
Ron slowly came to and the first thing he became aware of was that he was laying down in something comfortable with sheets pulled over him up to his chin. His first thought was, "Oh... it was just a dream. But what a dream it was..." He begins to speak his thoughts while his eyes were shut as he hoped to go back to sleep and have that same dream, "I saw Kim all grown up and my age at the spooky house...she sure was beautiful though... I wish I could have said something to her."
A female voice, one which he would recognize anywhere says, "I don't think the house is all that spooky." A smile is in her voice as she continues to say, "Thank you for saying I am beautiful, kind sir. It is always good to hear that from a guy as handsome as yourself."
Ron opens his eyes and bolts upright, instantly regretting it as he felt a wave go through his head but even as strong as his feelings were, they were quickly replaced by shock again as he sees the woman sitting beside him in a chair with a surprised look on her face as she had clearly not expected him to suddenly bolt upright in the bed.
Ron found himself speechless again before the woman until some part of his mind registers that she had asked him what his name was. He blurts out, "My name is Stopron able, I mean Stoppable, I mean Ron! AGH! Ron Stoppable!"
The red haired woman laughs just like Kim used to and Ron thinks, "It must be her! But how did she survive the car? Where has she been all these years? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?"
The woman smiles and says, "Nice to meet you Ron Stoppable, it is nice to put a name now to the man laying in my bed."
Ron's eyes go wide at that comment and he looks at the bed to see a nice, feminine bed with white comforters that had a floral print all over it. He moves his head to look around the room, taking in everything he say and knew he wouldn't forget any of it.
The room had a definite single woman's look to it as he could see that it was very nicely kept and had a spot that she could even sit in front of a mirror to see herself with. It wasn't until he was nearly done looking around the room that he noticed something odd. There wasn't any sign of anything modern in the whole room! Unlike young Kim's room, there was no computer, no hair dryer, no cordless phone by the bed. In fact, the whole room had a more of turn of century kind of feel to it with the way everything looked.
Ron turns back to the red haired woman and says, "Um, what is your name?" The wait between asking the question and her reply would seem like an eternity to him as he so desperately wanted to hear her say, "Hi, I'm Kim Possible or Kimberly Anne Possible or even K.P." He stares at the woman as he watches her moving in such slow motion. To Ron even watching her make a friendly smile at him seemed to take two years. Even the way she blinked seemed to stretch into months for Ron before she started to move her lips in answer to his question.
Ron hears the answer in slow motion, very slow motion but somehow it still registers in his brain and his jaw drops before he shouts, "NO WAY!!"
AN: Well, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter because I can only imagine what you all think since only like 2 percent of you actually review. :D What did all of you think about the way Middleton was a ghost town? Did you all like that little twist with Shego and Team Go? I wonder if any of you have a guess as to who left the envelope? Did any of you see Ron going back to the spooky house from my previous story? Were you all hopefully surprised to see the redhead woman standing there at the door? I think Ron's reaction was pretty funny, what do you all think? What do you think she said her name was to Ron?
Next Chapter Preview: Ron is still in shock and his mind is reeling over what has happened up to now and what he was told. Now Ron has to decide what to do with what he's facing. What will he say? Should he? What would you do if you were in Ron's shoes?
