Team Possible Saves Christmas – Part 8
By Star-Eva01
------------------------------------------------------
"Hurry Ron, you have just a few seconds left" Wade told the Team. Ron had just finished lining everything up for the Pole. With one last crack of the reins, the Team vanished in a flash of light.
And appeared over the Pole. Kim could see the complex under them.
"We made it Ron," she told him.
But he did not reply, Kim looked over and saw that Ron had slumped down in the seat. The reins lying in the floor. And he was back in his mission clothes.
"Ron", Kim asked again. And again, she got no response. Making a grab for the reins, Kim called out with everything she had.
"CHRIS!!!!"
'Kimberly is something wrong' Chris asked.
'We are over the pole, but Ron passed out'
'I'll be right there'
Rufus, having poked his head out of Kim's top when she cried out, looked up at her. He did not have to say anything; Kim knew what he wanted to know.
"I don't know Rufus, he passed out. Chris should be here..." Kim started to say, but just then in a flash of light, Chris was there in the sleigh with her. Kim gave the reins to Chris, and then pulled Ron to her cradling his head in her arms.
"Hold on Kimberly", Chris told her.
Chris guided the sleigh down quickly, showing what over 600 hundred years of experience was worth. He brought them down in the launching area that they started from. Jessica and a team of elves were waiting for them.
Moving Ron on to a gurney, they transported him into the pole hospital. Once back in the room where Team Possible had met the Claus for the first time, Jessica picked up something that looked like a Kimmunicator and ran it over Ron. After making a couple of passes, the device glowed in her hands.
Looking at the readings on the scanners screen, Jessica smiled. "He'll be ok everyone. He passed out from being tired." And in the back of her mind, Jessica added 'and that kiss'.
"Let's move him into the Spirit Room. That should help" Jessica told everyone.
As the hospital team started to move the gurney that Ron laid on, Jessica moved the scanner to point it at Kim. The scanner glowed for a second, and then nodding to herself with a smile, Jessica followed along last.
Once in the Spirit Room, they placed the gurney into the glow at the center of the room. Ron, who had not made a sound yet, moaned softly.
Kim moved into the glowing light with Ron, and gently stoked his check with one hand, while holding his with the other. Neither one of them saw Jessica show the scanner to her husband, and they did not see Chris nod back to her.
Both Jessica and Chris took a step back, making sure that they were not in the glowing light. Jessica quietly told the hospital team that everything was ok, and that they could go back to their other jobs. Once the team left, only Jessica, Chris, Ron, and Kim were left in the room.
"Ron, can you hear me", Kim asked.
"I hear you KP. I feel tired Kim, like that time that Drakken make those clones and we had to fight them around Bueno Nacho," Ron told her in a soft voice.
Kim gave him a lopsided grin. 'I love you Ron so very much, but you sometimes remember things funny' she thought. She remembered doing most of the fighting that time, and him mostly running.
"That one was a toughie. But we got though in the end. No Big", Kim replied.
She watched his brown eyes close. Those eyes she had watched for most of her life. She thought that she knew every look that they could give her. But that night at the prom, she learned that she did not know them all. And over the time of their engagement, the look of love that she thought she knew she found was just touching the surface. When his eyes opened again, she could see the deep love in them and she just wanted to hold him to her.
Kim leaned over and gave him a small kiss. Just a brush of her lips on his. Placing her forehead against his, she gave his nose a wiggle with hers. Making his lopsided grin appear on his face. She responded without knowing it with a match on her face.
Neither Kim nor Ron noticed a light blue glow start to add its light to the glow that was already surrounding them.
In her mind, Kim could hear what sounded like a conversation from across the room. She could not make out what was being said, and she really did not want to, she just wanted to stay there with Ron.
Rufus climbed on to Kim's shoulder. Kim, becoming lost in her feelings for Ron, and in his eyes, did not notice him. Rufus looked down at both his humans, and then turned to face the Claus. Both of them were motioning him to go on, and then he moved slowly till his small mouth was almost in Kim's ear. In a voice that was only possible this one time, he whispered in her ear, and in her mind, with the voice of herself.
"Go on, kiss the boy."
Kim moved without thinking, and gave Ron another gentle kiss, again just barely brushing lips.
Without any hesitation, Rufus whispered again in her ear, "Come on now girl, and kiss him the way you really want to. With every part of your heart and soul. No holding back Kim, no worrying about it. Just kiss the boy."
Kim moved just a little, and kissed Ron. Holding his head with her hands, she deepened the kiss.
----------
Chris and Jessica watched Rufus whisper in Kim's ear. When she deepened the kiss, they motioned for Rufus to join them. Rufus jumped from Kim' shoulder down to the gurney, and then to the floor. Rufus ran over to the Claus, and Jessica bent down to pick him up, placing him on her shoulder.
Reaching over, Chris scratched his small head, he told Rufus that he had done well. All three of them watched to two still in the glowing center of the room. The glow was starting to get brighter, and the light blue glow was growing brighter too.
Jessica looked to her husband, and asked "He'll be alright in a few more moments Chris. But if Kimberly truly frees herself. Chris, those two are of the same soul. They belong together, we've both seen it. What will happen?"
"I think everything will be alright Jess. Think of the wonders those two will do, can do, once they both see the whole truth" Chris replied.
Chris, Jessica, and Rufus watched the light around, and coming from Kim and Ron grow brighter and stronger still.
----------
Kim felt a part of her heart open for the first time in a long time. Then she felt her soul do the same thing. She felt all of her repeating "I love you so very much" over and over again. She felt Ron's hands move to cup her face, felt him deepen the kiss again. Without thought, she responded. Love started to flow out of her, and into her. Filling everything with a warmth that she could not describe. But she knew she wanted it to never stop.
She felt his arms around her now. Pulling her in with a strength that was amazing. And without thinking, she responded by pulling him to herself with a strength that matched his.
Her mind called out 'I love you Ronald Dean Stoppable'. And she heard 'I love you Kimberly Anne Possible' come back to her. Over and over again.
She felt a longing for her, a need for her. A burning, hungry ravenous desire for her that was overwhelming her, burning her, feeding her, completing her, making her whole.
'No one has ever loved me like that' she thought. 'No one ever had, and no one but him ever will'.
'I have loved you from the first time I saw you Kimberly. And I always will' she heard Ron reply in her heart.
The gates opened and Kim felt her own need slam her. A ravenous desire for him that matched his for her. His feeding her and hers feeding him.
----------
Ron heard her in his mind, 'I love you so very much' over and over again
He felt her gently take his head in her hands. Felt the oh so light touch of her lips on his. Felt her touch his forehead with hers. Then the kiss, a real kiss.
He moved slowly to cup her face with his hands. He deepened the kiss. He felt the love that he had known was in her start to flow into him. He poured his love for her back at her. His heart flying as he felt her love for him.
He placed his arms around her, and pulled her to him with all the strength he had. Feeling her respond
He heard her call out 'I love you Ronald Dean Stoppable' in his mind, and he replied to that with 'I love you Kimberly Anne Possible'. She called out again and again, and he replied over and over again.
His longing for her started to force its way out. Over the years that longing need to be with her had turned in to a burning ravenous desire for her. And after they announced their engagement it had become more so.
'No one has ever loved me like that' he heard her thinking. 'No one ever had, and no one but him ever will'.
'I have loved you from the first time I saw you Kimberly. And I always will'
With that thought, he felt a need, a desire for him from her slam into him like she had slapped him across the face. Her need feeding his and his feeding hers.
-----------
Chris, Jessica, and Rufus watched Ron sat up on the gurney and pulled Kim to him. Watching couple, they could see the glowing lights around them gain energy.
The field agents of Team Possible where at the center of a storm. And neither one of them knew it. The only thing that they were aware of was each other. And Jessica was starting to worry.
She could see them glowing with a light that belonged with angels. She watched as they both starting to float upwards until they were mid-air in the center of the chamber. Kim's long red hair drifting around them like a halo. And without any thought, they had molded themselves once more into each other.
Jessica and Chris could feel the love from the young couple. Rufus, still setting on Jessica's shoulder mumbled something that sounded like "isn't love grand." The light in the room had grown so bright that it was filling the whole complex.
Tomas ran into the room, calling for the Claus'.
"You have to stop them. If they draw any more power, it will show up on the outside" he told them.
Just then, the light coming from Kim and Ron that was now mostly blue in color, flared.
In the sky above the North Pole, a flash of light that looked like someone had lighted a blue road flare, but hundreds of times more powerful went off. The light, while extremely bright and strong, lasted for just three seconds.
------------
In Cheyenne Mountain Colorado, NORAD spotted the flare with its satellite systems. General Smith called for a report, and Lt. Wright reported that a intense light had gone off over the Pole. Gen Smith knew that Team Possible had completed the flight, could not help wondering if they had something to do with this. Gen Smith ordered Commander Thomson to contact the Pole, and get a report from there.
----------
Chris and Jessica watched as Kim and Ron started to slowly drift down to the floor of the room. The blinding light around them dimming to a faint blue glow. Once they were back on the ground, the glow disappeared. The young couple broke apart for just a second, and then kissed again.
"Chris" Jessica called as she watched the light blue glow startup again. Again they started to float into the air, but this time just hovering a few inches off the floor.
"I think things are ok now Jessica" Chris informed his wife.
A elf came into the room, saying that NORAD was asking for a status report. "They caught the flash on their systems."
"I'll be right back" Chris spoke up and with Tomas followed the elf out.
Jessica turned back to Kim and Ron to see them looking into each other eyes. It felt so wonderful to see two people so in love, and with Kim and Ron, she knew that this love was strong. But the power of that love could be trouble, like they had just seen.
"Ronshine" Kim said looking into Ron's eyes...
"Kimshine" Ron said looking into Kim's eyes.
"100 proof. Be sure you get your RDA of it" Rufus added with a chuckle.
Kim started to blush, again starting to turn into that Christmas light. Ron ran his hand along the back of his neck and started his own blush.
Chris picked that time to come back into the room. Seeing the kids standing there with faces redder then Rudolph's nose he just added fuel to the fire with "are you two done making out now."
Laughing as the blushes on both Kim and Ron just got deeper, pulled them into a group hug.
"I wanted to thank you for your help this year" Chris told them.
"Yes, I want to add my thanks as well" Jessica added.
"No Big" Kim told them. "Helping is what we do, right Ron?"
"Right KP" answered Ron.
Moving to the door if the spirit room Ron asked Chris for a word in private. Kim watched them talking for a second, Chris nodded at the end.
The Claus took them back into the hanger like complex, and on to the traveling platform. When everyone was on, the platform took off. Kim watched them flying over the complex. Quickly, they were back at the hallway landing.
Jessica led Kim off after Chris told them that he needed to ask Ron something. The two women entered the office that Team Possible had arrived in. Jessica asked if Kim would like something to drink.
"Coffee", was Kim's response.
Jessica moved over to the desk. Pausing for just a moment, Jessica turned to the back wall and then turned back with a tray of coffee. She poured Kim a cup and passed it to her. Kim took a careful sip from the cup to find her favorite blend, fixed the way she liked it.
"I'm sure that you have some last questions about what has happened to night Kimberly. I'll be happy to answer them the best way that I can" Jessica said. Then she poured herself a cup as well.
Kim took another sip of the coffee. "Well, I figured that most of this night just needs to be taken on faith. But I do have a question or two."
"Go ahead."
"How did we really do all that talking with our minds?"
Jessica laughed for a moment. "I thought that you would ask that one Kimberly. The easy answer to that is Magic. Remember Kimberly, this place holds incredible magic. But the true answer to your question is something that I think you know now, and thought you knew before tonight. It's love Kimberly. That and Ronald's MMP."
"Ronald's MMP can be very powerful. In the past, he has not tried that hard to control it, so in his words it comes and goes. But in the time that you have been dating and then engaged, I'm sure you have noticed that he has been more useful in your missions."
Kim nodded her head. That was something that she had noticed. Ron was getting better with the missions and with his school work. But Kim wondered how Jessica knew about that.
"He wanted you to be proud of your boyfriend when you were dating. He knew that he would never be a "hottie" like some of the guys you crushed on before. So he started to apply himself harder in his school work and tried to be a better partner for you on missions. That improvement made you happy, so he tried harder still. Ronald, thanks to your love for him and understanding of him truly is "Potential Boy" Kimberly. And his love for you, I think you really found out last night, is endless."
Kim could not think of anything to say to any of that. She knew that she loved Ron with all her heart. And that she really was proud of the work that he had done. That hard work had allowed them to go to the same college, Middleton University. And his improvements on missions were outstanding.
"Kim," Jessica asked. Her using just the short version of her name got Kim's attention quickly, "do you know what the term 'Soul mate' means?"
"That two people are meant to be together"
"Yes, that is one definition."
Kim thought again about the past night, and the past few years of her life with Ron. Remembering back to their Sr. year in high school, Kim could not remember being happier. Nor could she not remember a time from that night, she was not happy. Sure Ron made her mad sometimes, but all couples get that way. She loved Ron, and he made her feel wonderful. He made her...
"...complete" Kim spoke out loud. "They complete each other."
"Yes Kim, they complete each other. And together they become whole. That's you and Ronald" Jessica told her.
Then Chris and Ron entered the office. Chris had his arm around Ron's shoulder and both were smiling.
"Did you two have a nice chat Jessica" Chris asked his wife.
"I believe that I gave Kimberly something to think about" Jessica told her husband.
Chris started to laugh. He kept laughing till his whole body started to shake like jelly.
"I'm sure that you two are ready to go home now" Chris said. "But I have a gift that I want to give you both. A little something like Jessica said. Something to think about." With that, he reached up to a shelf and pulled down a clear globe.
Chris placed the globe on the desk and called for Kim and Ron to come closer. "This globe" he told them, "has a few unique abilities. One of them to see things. It's one of the ways that I do what I do."
Kim and Ron glanced at each other.
"Look into it and you should see something that you both want to know about" Chris told them.
Ron and Kim again looked at each other, then stared into the globe. Inside the globe became smokey, and then what they saw surprised them both.
----
In the globe, they saw what looked like a very nice house. Children playing the yard. One boy and girl with red hair, and a boy with blond. They watched as a woman with long red hair came out on to the yard and the kids all ran to her giving her hugs. The woman knelt down and wrapped her arms around them and gave each one a kiss. The woman then led them into the house.
----
The scene changed to show the woman and the kids in a kitchen, where a blond man way placing what looked to be dinner on the large table there. The kids seated themselves around the table, as the woman moved to the man and give him a very loving kiss.
----
The scene changed again, to show a large building somewhere. The building had a parking lot that held a number of vehicles. On the side of the building, they could see a stylish logo made up with the letters TPF. They could see the couple from the other scenes come running out of the building, holding hands, as a helicopter landed off to one side. Before the couple climbed aboard, they put their arms around each other and kissed.
----
The globe cleared up and was clear again.
----
When Kim and Ron looked up, the Claus' smiled at them.
"Those were our children and us" Kim said.
"That was a look into your possible future" Chris told them.
"A possible future?" Ron asked.
"You have to remember that the future is not set. And your fate is what you make of it" Jessica added.
"It's time for you to go home now" Chris told them as he guided them to the fireplace.
Once standing in the fireplace, the Claus' gave both Kim and Ron a last hug and told them again thank you for their help.
After taking a step back, Jessica had one last thing to say.
"Remember you two, love and understanding are the keys" she said.
"Ronald, would you like to do it one more time" Chris asked.
Turning to face the love of his life, Ron gently took her left hand in his right and placed his forehead on hers. He whispered very quietly, "I love you KP". Just before he place a finger along side his nose, he heard her voice loud and clear in his mind saying "I love you Ronnie".
And with that, they vanished.
------------
Jessica moved into her husband's arms and held him for all she was worth. Speaking into his chest, she asked if they would be alright.
Cupping her face in his hands, Chris kissed his wife. "They will be just fine Jessica, just look."
Waving his hand at the globe, it became smokey again. Then it showed a scene with the couple again. This time both were gray haired as they watched children play while holding hands. After a moment, they brought their foreheads together for a brief second. Smiling at each other, they kissed has the woman reached up to cup the man's face. A light blue glow began to surround the couple.
------------
And then they reappeared back in the fireplace at NORAD.
They stepped out of the fireplace and walked to the door. When Ron opened the door, they found that a guard had been placed there. The guard had instructions to take Team Possible back to the Tracking Control Room. Once there, Gen Smith greeted them and wanted to know if they knew anything about that flash over the pole just minutes ago.
After explaining to the General that they did not know anything about that, both Ron and Kim asked if a ride was ready to take them home. After a round of thanks to NORAD for letting them host the site this year, and NORAD's thanks to Team Possible for helping out with the flight, Kim and Ron climbed on to a helicopter and started the hour ride home. Kim pulled her Kimmunicator from her pocket and pressed the call button.
Wade appeared on the screen, and asked if everything was ok.
"We're done Wade. Would you let our rent's know that we are on our way home, please and thank you" Kim asked.
"You got it Kim. Oh by the way Kim, Merry Christmas to you two" Wade told her and blanked out.
Kim put the Kimmunicator back in her pocket, and curled up to Ron. Laying her head on his shoulder, she went to sleep for the rest of the ride back to Middleton.
Ron watched her sleep as they traveled home. After they started dating, he would often stay awake on the return if Kim needed to sleep.
Kim woke up to find herself in her bed. She remembered resting her head on Ron's shoulders.
'Guess I must have dozed off, and Ron carried her up here,' she thought.
She started to get out of bed, when she found Ron laying on the floor beside her. She watched him for a few minutes then moved off to her bathroom. After cleaning her face and brushing her teeth, Kim came back out and knelt down beside the love of her life.
'In just a year or two, I'll marry you Ronnie' she thought. And she said the name out in her head 'Mrs. Kimberly Anne Stoppable' she thought.
In her mind, she heard Ron's voice, 'No KP. It's Mrs. Kimberly Anne Possible-Stoppable. I don't want you to change who you are KP, and you will always be Kim Possible, the woman that can do anything.'
Kim smiled and placed a loving hand on his shoulder. 'I love you Ronnie', she thought, 'the other half of my soul.'
'I love you too Kimberly, you are my soul' was Ron's reply.
Just as Kim was leaning over to give Ron a kiss, the pounding of running feet sounded at the bottom of the stairs that lead to her loft room. Seconds later, Jim and Tim ran into her room.
"Come on you two", Jim said.
"We've waited long enough", Tim said.
"For you two to wake up", Jim finished.
"Tweebs" Kim growled at her younger brothers, and started toward them.
"Oh, got to go", Tim said and both of them ran back down the stairs.
Kim turned back to find that Ron was sitting on her bed and watching her. Moving to him, she knelt down in front of him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Merry Christmas Ron."
"Merry Christmas Kim."
Epilog:
Later Christmas day, after the normal Possible Christmas Present unwrapping party, and a wonderful Dinner made by Anne Possible, the field agents of Team Possible were getting ready to go to Kim's Church for Christmas Services. Later they would be going to Ron's Temple for that night's Hanukah services.
Kim was just coming down the stairs from her room, when James Possible let Ron in the front door. While she was getting ready, Kim had thought a lot about the things that she had learned over Christmas Eve Night. She had come to one fact, and that was that her and Ron where supposed to be together.
Ron rode with her family to Services, and then after they dropped them off at Ron's place to ride with his folks to Temple. After Temple, Ron's folks dropped them both off at Kim's house.
Ron followed Kim into the house and asked her folks if he could talk to her for a few minutes out on the deck.
Once on the deck, Ron wrapped his coat over her on top of her own. Kim smiled at her fiancé as he held her close. Looking into his eyes, Kim could see the caring in them.
"I have your present for you KP" he told her as he reached into his pants pocket.
"Ronnie, you have already giving me the best Christmas present that I could think of. You don't have….to….give…..me", Kim started to reply, but when Ron pulled out a box and opened it to show her what was inside, her voice slowed and then stopped.
Inside the box lay a beautiful emerald earring and necklace set.
"How", was all that Kim managed to get out before Ron carefully removed the necklace and placed it around her neck.
"You'll have to do the earrings KP" he informed her.
Kim slowly replaced the earrings she was wearing with the ones from the box. Her hands trembling some in the process.
Again, Kim asked him how.
"I wanted to get these for you for a long time now KP. I just could not find a way to do it. So at the pole, I asked Mr. C if he could help."
Kim now understood why Ron and Chris had come later into the office, Chris was getting the set for him.
"They are gorgeous Ron."
They smiled at each other, and slowly moved to bring their foreheads together.
Rufus, who had been a quiet watcher from Ron's coat pocket, spoke up with his odd voice. "Note".
Kim looked at him. "A note Rufus? I didn't see a note."
Rufus shaking his head, again said "note".
Kim and Ron both looked into the box, and this time a note appeared. Ron reached in and pulled it out. Ron opened the envelope that was addressed to both of them. He quickly scanned it, and then gave it Kim.
"Dear Kim and Ron," she read. "We just wanted to again thank you for your help. For millions of children, Christmas would not be the same if a visit from Santa did not happen. And your drive to help others made it possible. So in the spirit of your way of doing things, we own you a favor. But let us repay that favor this way."
"Remember that I told you that love and understanding were the keys Kim. And for this repayment, that is very true."
"For as long has you both love and care for each other, think of the other one and they will hear you. It's a repayment for a favor, and a gift of the spirit that you have shared. Thanks again, with our love to you C and J."
Kim looked up at Ron. He looked deep into her eyes.
'I love you Kimberly' she heard in her mind.
'And I love you Ronnie' she thought back to him as she watched his trademark grin appear.
Without thinking about it or talking about it, both again leaned forward until their foreheads touched. Then after a second, they kissed. After another second, a light blue glow started to form around them.
Rufus, from his pocket in Ron's coat, looked at his two humans. The blue glow surrounding them. 'Love', he thought. 'Love this strong and Mystical Monkey Power, the world better get ready. There won't be any stopping these two.'
Finished.
Author's Notes:
Ok, that's chapter 8 and the last part of this story. I have always had respect for the authors on this site and others that have written stories that have many chapters in them. After writing this story, that respect has grown so much more. Writers like MrDrP, CaptainKodak1, Commander Argus, Zaratan, Cpneb, and AtomicFire to just name a few. Those writers and so many more make it look easy, and it's not.
Trust me on that one.
I think that I will take a small break, and then get back to another set of "One Shot" stories like the "Chances" set. My first Four stories.
I slipped in a seed in this story for an idea that I have for another longer story that was part of the original "One more chance" story. Keep in mind the letters TPF. But I want to check with a few writers here, to be sure that I'm not going to step on any toes with it. It's close to something that one writer is working on, and another one placed in his story.
I "copied" this next from Cpneb, hope you don't mind. I just liked the way he worded it:
" Enjoy Kim Possible fan fiction? Of course you do. Looking for a way to pay tribute to your favorite authors and stories? Cast your ballot for your favorites in the Second Annual Fannie Awards: browse on over to the web site: intbike dot com slash fannie2 dot html for details, or visit Zaratan's profile.

Thanks for coming this far with this story, I hope you enjoyed it.

The idea that the Claus' are centuries old is something that I remember from my own past. In addition, I cannot remember anywhere hearing what Mrs. Claus name was, other then Jessica from the old Rankin and Bass cartoon, "Santa Claus is coming to town", so I have used that here. That's also were Chris came from.
