The door to the Stoppable home opened as the Stoppable's came in carrying Hana and what was seemingly a bunch of stuffed animals from the zoo. Seeing Kim and Ron on the couch, Ron's mother smiled. Setting Hana down on the floor, she said, "Kimmie, so nice of you to spend a day with our Ronnie while we were away."

"No big, Mrs. S." Kim said, annoyed but relieved that Ron's mother had interrupted her statement. Ron at once went to go pick up his little sister and brought her back to the couch. "Who's a little booba?" he said, nudging her gently in the stomach as she laughed. Kim, feeling awkward with the Stoppable's home considering her previous conversation with Ron decided that she would leave. Seeing as how it was almost 4, she figured that her parents would be getting home soon and she should probably help her mom with some chores around the house. "Ron, I'm gonna go, I'll talk to you later, okay." she said, picking up her bag to leave.

"KP, wait," he said, putting down his little sister to follow Kim. She turned around to stare at Ron, who nervously, once again, began to rub his neck.

"Look, I'm sorry about telling the guys what I did. I never meant for it to make you upset in any way."

"Ron, I'm not upset, it's just that…are you up for a walk?" Kim asked.

"A walk, where?"

"Just a walk…so we can talk."

"Oh, sure," Ron said, closing the door behind him. They walked for a while, not saying much to each other, each lost in their own thoughts. After some time, they found themselves in Middleton Park by the pond. It was beautiful on the autumn afternoon as the sun began to set. Brushing some leaves off of a nearby bench, Ron sat down and Kim followed suit. After a while, Ron decided to break the silence.

"So, you were saying…" Kim looked at Ron and then at the pond in front of them.

"Ron, I have thought about it. A lot. It's just that I want it to be special when it happens. I don't want it to just be something we do to get it over with and to say, 'yeah, we have'. I want it to mean something, you know?"

"Yeah, I understand KP. I want it to be special too. You know what, why don't we set a date and time right now so-"

"Ron!"

"What?"

"You're not supposed to set a date and time for these things, we're supposed to just let them happen." Kim said, slightly agitated.

"So, how do you feel about waiting 'til marriage?"

"You want to wait 'til marriage, Ron?"

"No! I mean, yes…I mean, I'm just sayin'" Ron said flustered.

"Like I said, Ron, just let it happen…let nature take its course. When it's right for both of us, it will happen." Ron pondered this for a minute.

"So you mean, let nature decide?"

Laughing, Kim said, "Yes Ron, let nature decide."

"So you do want to do this with me." he said tentatively.

"Who else is my best friend boyfriend?" Kim said smiling. They sat there for a while enjoying each other's company. After a while, Ron said,

"Kim, thanks."

"For what?"

"For everything. You're the best." Kim smiled and kissed him and they sat there for a while; each grateful to know that when the right time came, they would share their love in the greatest way possible.
