Level 4: Jian (Mage)
Part XII: Journey's End.
8-28-2006
Condor 1 SHIELD's Helicarrier flagship
Hovering over Middleton, CO
Capt. Kimberley Anne Possible's
Quarters
0800 hrs
She and her team were on a well earned leave…
Kim sat and thought about Graduation…
Her's and Ron's…
That is their lack of a proper one…
Thanks to Drakken's pathogen… Despite their best efforts… 3 million had died… in the US…
China… 1 billion…
Africa… 200 million.
Wakandan science had saved the day there. T'challa had pledged his country's resources towards vaccination of the populous against as many diseases as possible before Drakken's plague…
The Dark Continent was a mess.
1.9 billion died… worldwide… despite Team Possible's best efforts…
However…
Two things were to be noted…
One: most of those who died were elderly or middle aged…
Two: Due to someone hacking Drakken's net (Brenda)… Those with Net access saw Kim and her team fighting to stop the fiend from killing anyone…
They saw Ron smite him.
They knew Kim had done her best… that Team Possible had done their best.
What had surprised Kim and Sheila was how agitated Ron got about using their fortune to help others…
Somehow he'd talked Namor into helping… so he'd pledged Oracle's funds to the cause.
Iyori lent the Yamanouchi School's support in helping to rebuild… she told them Strucker had need of a new right hand for his attempted treachery…
Fury said the Yamanouchi sitch bore watching… Team Possible agreed.
Even the Thunderbolts pitched in… actually their ranks swelled… Drakken had created the largest influx of ex-supervillains into the program… by killing someone they had known… or loved… worldwide.
A memorial had been dedicated to the Fallen on the steps of the UN. A holographic record was being kept to assure they wouldn't be forgotten.
The World's Leaders had asked Team Possible to dedicate the Memorial.
It had been their lowest point.
What do you say to someone when this happens…
She remembered…

The United Nations

0800 hrs
Everyone onstage was perfect. Not one crease or medal was out of place.
Kim wore her Fleur de Guerre… as did Ron, Sheila, and Rufus. Ron said his made him itch… She'd laughed.
It had done them some good.
Kim looked at those on stage with her.
Her Mom, Dad… The Stoppables… some of the people they'd helped…
Heads of State… Ambassadors…
She turned and looked at Ron and Sheila on her left.
They gave her a wink and nod of encouragement…
To her right… The Specialist, Col. Dugan, Major Jones…
And behind them…
The Avengers.
She leaned forward… "I'm sorry…" Tears ran. "I failed you…" she looked at her team… "all of you. I'll work hard to never let it happen again…"
Everyone was silent…
She wept for the World's dead.
A hand clasped her shoulder.
Ron.
He rose and stood to her right, Sheila to her left.
"No Kim. You didn't fail us… when we had no hope… you led us to a way out of this mess… you did your best!" Blue fire flared in his eyes. "Mein Gedanken Sind Frie…"
There was a collective gasp…
He intoned… "Belzec… Sobibor… Chelmno… Majdanek… Treblinka… Auschwitz-Birkanau… are gone 'cause of folks like you…" His eyes slid to Fury… Then… He looked at the crowd… and the Cameras. "We did our best."
Sheila looked at Kim. "If you hadn't taken that chance… where would we be now?" she wept. "Sometimes… there's no easy way…" she looked at Ron. "But sometimes… when someone believes…" she shook. "Enough in what's right… or inspires someone to do their best despite what's happened or what they've done…" her voice dropped to a whisper. "It makes all the difference."
A news reporter shouted, "WHAT?"
Sheila snapped her head up and glared into the public eye… "IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!"
Kim smiled at her friends.
"Thanks." She said as she wiped her face clean with a hanky. She stepped forward…
A Valkyrie.
"I swear…" she looked at her loved ones… they nodded with understanding. "We swear… to do whatever it takes to stop this from happening again!"
Ready to protect… no…
Ensure Humanity's future.
The response was… Stupendous.
-
Kim was grief-stricken… and ashamed because she couldn't help thinking about the victims she knew…
Hope…
Tara…
Marcella…
Larry…
Bernice…
Professor Acari…
The list seemed endless.
The Middleton Board of Education had sent her class their diplomas and cancelled all ceremonies due to the long range effects the tragedy had caused…
50 million world-wide had been… altered… or damaged.
Bonnie was recovering… on a cane.
Some were like Monique… who were able to unlock hidden potentials and were helping rebuild. She was being tutored by Fury, John Brimmstone and Athena, with the Artifact's help.
Athena had come through… she had found several ways to use the pathogen as a healing tool.
The Artifact.
It had decided to aid Humanity by helping to rebuild the ravaged countries…
No matter what Ron said… it was too weird to watch it use its powers…
Never mind the fact that she, Ron and Sheila had their own weird abilities…
The heavyweights were back helping to rebuild…
Way weird was that fact that…
Doom… had come back… and was helping!
Her team…
Team Possible had been affected by the stress of helping the World.
They didn't mind being SHIELD's ambassadors to the World…
Ron was embarrassed by the publicity… someone had released footage of him… and what he'd done to Drakken… He insisted he's no hero, just trying to do his best to help.
Sheila was happy to be seen as a hero… her brothers treated her with respect… China dropped all charges and voted her a 'Hero of the People's Republic'! Other nations… not wanting to be outdone… followed suit.
However.
Some tried to blame them for what had happened…
Kim, Ron, and Sheila received support from an unexpected ally…
Bonnie…
She became Kim's biggest supporter… and used her inheritance to speak out against Kim's detractors.
But… It had taken its toll…
They had been so busy that… they had been too tired or frayed to Link properly… at times.
Old wounds had quietly reopened.
Their love and respect for each other had seen them through…
Hopefully what she'd planned would help them get over the hump.
She would be at her most vulnerable…
But it would be worth it…
'Ron's right. We have to fight for what we want as best we can. Live in defiance of guys like the Skull!'
She hoped what she'd planned… would help.
Later that day in Condor 1…
1900 hrs
Ron was dressed in his Brioni suit… the one he'd worn on his first Rook mission. '(Man! I hope it's not another banquet… had enough of those to last a while… just wanna hang with Kim and Sheila. The Practice Room? Hmmm.)'
-
Sheila was dressed in her Prada Emerald Dress, Gloves and Heels… The outfit she wore when she first really met Ron… '(The invite said to dress retro… the outfit I wore when I first really met Ron… I wonder if he's behind this…)'
Ron and Sheila walked up to the Practice Room from different corridors…
And ended their trek in front of the main entrance. They found themselves staring at each other and standing before the SHIELD 'Acting' Triumvirate.
Col. Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan
Major Gabriel Jones
And The Specialist
"hi." Ron.
"hi." Sheila.
"Tenn Hutt!" Col. Dugan bellowed.
Ron and Sheila snapped to. "SIR! YES SIR!"
"An August Personage requests your presence. They have a solution for your problems of late. In other words 'Git Yer Ass Inside!'" The Specialist growled with his Wolf's Grin.
"Yes Un…SIR!" Ron cried as The Specialist glared at him.
'What's going on?' Sheila asked as the Door popped open and a wispy moonlit night spilled into the lit corridor. 'Dunno…!'
A tune was heard as they walked in…
Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you
Ron looked at Sheila. Sheila at Ron.
They shyly linked hands and walked further into a Dream made Real…
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
Gossamer and Moonlight…
'Would you like to Dance Madame?' he asked her.
'Yes I would M'sieur.' She replied.
They twirled across the floor.
Chorus
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
Suddenly…
'May I cut in?' was heard.
It was Kim…
She was dressed in her Black and Silver number from their Eureka adventure.
Cheeks wet with Emerald Joy and Sorrow.
'ok.' Sheila said as she stepped away from Ron and Kim flowed in.
Sheila watched with hands clasped, Eyes Ajoy with Tears as her Loves Danced…
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
'Nice Choice KP. It's one of my Favorites. How'd ya kn…' he started to say as she silenced him with a kiss.
'I made a Promise to you both… and broke it. I'm SO Sorry… it'll never happen again.' She wept as she fervently kissed her Man and spiritually hugged/kissed them both.
Chorus
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
'It's cool. All's forgiven. Honest.' He sent. 'Really. We know you… regret what happened…' Sheila got out as she tried to recover from Kim's Flare of Passion.
Kim showed them what she saw in their hearts…
'KP… we're just tired… and haven't had a chance to… do stuff… that's all…' he sent.
'I… just felt we needed this…' Kim sadly sent.
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
Magic
Olivia Newton-John
John Farrar lyrics
The lights lowered…
"Uh KP?" Ron asked.
"Kim?" Sheila asked.
"Shhh." Kim said. 'You'll see.' She sent with a grin.
The lights came back up…
Ron and Sheila found themselves surrounded by their High School class and their friends and family!
A banner hung overhead: Congratulations Class of '06! For Those Who Have Fallen, We Defy The Odds.
They hugged, kissed and bowed to their audience.
'Wow! Nice Holograms KP. How'd you get it done so…' Ron sent before…
'NOT. They're real. Bonnie and Rufus helped.' Kim waved at Al and Rufus as they watched over the Sound deck while the Oh Boys, Britina, and Mc Honey prepped. She replied with a grin as she took Sheila's hand. 'Just as MY Feelings are for you two…' Kim's Heart enfolded Ron's and Sheila's. 'And ours for you…'
They were thunderstruck by the experience…!
Kim had Grown Up and embraced her choice to be with them!
Kim bowed to her guests… "I…" she looked at Bonnie and Brick. "We… Bonnie and I decided to hold this Prom…" a tear fell. "In honor of our friends… they wouldn't want us to give up…" Emerald Dragon Fire lit her eyes. "And in Defiance of those who'd want us to. Please… enjoy yourselves."
"Ya got it goin' on Bon-Bon! Brick. Dude!" Ron crowed as he hugged Bonnie and high fived Brick.
Ron turned to The Realm… and asked The Essence. 'Yes.' was the answer.
A tiny event happened. Bonnie squealed. Brick looked at Ron. It was good.
-
"Those two know that there's NO PDA like that allowed at the Proms that Steve Barkin chaperones," said Vice Principal Barkin.
"Major 'Bulldog' Barkin, back off and leave 'em alone or deal with me," quietly growled a voice to Barkin's right.
"If anyone's earned the right to get a kiss like that it's those three!" The Specialist said with Nick's voice.
"Colonel Fury, Sir!! What are you doing here?" said Mr. Barkin.
"Ease up on 'em. If anyone's earned the right… it's them." He looked Barkin in the eye. "I need ya to do what ya did for Ron… a while longer."
"Yes Sir."
"Oh and Steve… Thanks."
"Anytime Sir." Nick flowed into the crowd.
-
Later by the refreshment table…
A trio flowed over to them after things settled into a routine as they always do at proms…
An African Goddess stood before them in regal splendor… She was flanked by two men…
One: Dark cafe complexion… stocky a bit. He was in a Tux and heavy boots… the right collar of his shirt kept curling up…! Much to his annoyance… Kim peered at him. He was stony… but the eyes… despite what they'd seen believed… and were compassionate! A quiet cluster of medals were pinned to his breast… they were clustered around an EMS Star of Life…
He caught her look and winked.
The other: A man of the same complexion… slightly demented smile… Kind yet flinty eyes… dressed in a blue suit and black wingtips…
"Hhhhhh… Good evening, Team Possible. Wwwwww… Sorry…" he stuttered.
"Hi. Name's Tony." The other man said. "The Lovely lady with us is Brenda…" He pointed to their friend with a flourish. "This gentleman's known as 'Cisco… or Falanza…"
Kim frowned… "We're crashing the party…" Brenda.
Team Possible's shocked!
"To hhhhangggg… sit with…" 'Cisco.
"Some of Al's friends." Tony.
"So you're friends of his… from 'the day'?" Kim suspiciously asked. 'This better not be…'
Ron smiled. "KP…" he said as he looked at them. "They're 500 miles of Grade-A road. Trust me!" 'You sure?' Kim. 'Yeah. 'Look' at 'em.'
Sheila 'looked' at them. "You guys are friends of his?" she asked. 'He's right!'
"Family." Tony said. Mist forming in his eyes to Team Possible's shock! "Al saved me… several times in grade school… he always believed in me… never gave up on me!" a flinty glare lit in his dark eyes. "He's a Bro."
"Yes." Brenda smiled. Ron fell in 'til Kim pinched his side. "He is. Basically… a good man."
"Yyyy… I agree." 'Cisco.
Team Possible looked across a divide… at ones that had helped, and were still helping them to hold the line.
And relaxed.
"Soooo…" Sheila said. "I take it you're in 'the business'."
"Army Corp of Engineers, Retired… KKKKinda." 'Cisco.
"I know Nick…" Brenda said with an enigmatic smile.
"Knocked around. Trained with some guys." Tony looked at Ron. "Stepped up a few times. Did what was right. Took some hits for Friends… and Honor's sake…" He looked at Kim. "Got drunk with Col. Austin once… Been noticed a bit by 'boring' guys… Just been lucky to be a weirdness magnet… even had someone's back in Shanghai," he winked at a Scarlet Sheila. "Without 'em knowing."
'I'd like to know that story…' Ron sent. 'As would I.' Kim. 'Later. LOTS later… When we're 'old and deaf'… heavy on the 'deaf'.' Sheila smirkingly sent.
"Kim… if you ever… need help. Al knows how to reach us." Tony winked… and waved at a Coppery-eyed Irish Tigress that was dressed in Florentine Emerald. "Gotta go. My Gal's itchin' for a dance." He kissed Kim and Sheila's hands, shook Ron's, then slipped away. "Coming Beloved!" was heard.
"As my Brother said… when you need us… tell Al." Brenda said before she hugged them and walked away.
"Ggggggg…BBBbbb… See ya!" 'Cisco waved and left.
They looked at each other… "Wow."
Ron looked at the floor… then the girls. "Uh is it ok if I take a walk? Just got some things to sort out… stuff."
The Girls looked at him… Total understanding in their eyes. 'Yeah. just save some dances for us… ok?" Sheila sent.
'Yeah…' he sent. 'I will. Promise.'

The power of love is a curious thing
make one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night
A Shielded Ron Stoppable was looking out an Observation bubble…
Sitting on a bench.
Thinking… about… everything.
They sat on either side of him.
Jack and Zoe Carter, and Alison Blake.
Chorus 1 :
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
Jack stared hard at Ron, then at Zoe and Alison… "We saw what happened Ron. Don't let it get to you." Jack said while still looking at Zoe. Alison touched Jack's shoulder and nodded. "Dylan." He said.
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round
"Huhh? Who's that?" Ron asked while twisting back and forth to look at them.
Zoe gave Ron a haunted look. "he… was someone I wanted to be my guy… 'til he crossed the line." She smiled at her Dad. "Dad had to… He was right to do it…"
"What?" Ron asked staring at Jack. 'Oh God! He didn't…'
Chorus 2 :
And it don't take money, don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
"I killed him. Self Defense. He was a kid that lived in Eureka… he cooked up a new drug that had serious side affects." He stared back at Ron. "Super speed." Jack frowned and sighed. "I tried to talk him out of it… but he wouldn't listen. He threatened to go after me… and Zoë… so I killed him with a baseball."
"oh. Uh I guess he hit the ball at super speed…" Ron said.
"Yeah. If I hadn't… he'd have killed Zoë… and others… I'm NOT proud of it." He sat there saddened by the event.
"A sad waste of great potential. He was a good kid." Alison wistfully said.
They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm
It's the power of love
"Yeah. KP, Sheila and me… we've seen a lot of folks like that…" he smiled, thinking of Sheila. "Sometime ya get lucky enough to see someone get it."
Struck by his selflessness; Jack, Zoë, and Alison smiled.
Alison thought about something and slipped a card into Ron's hand. "I wouldn't dare think of breaking up the team… but if you guys ever need help or want to work somewhere else… or just want to talk… call me… us." She rose and took Jack's hand. Zoë looked at Ron, then Jack. "In a Sec Dad."
Jack smiled. "Ok Zoë." looked at Ron strangely and was yanked by Alison.
Zoë looked at the floor and scooted next to Ron. "thanks…"
"Uh Ok. You're welcome. Uh…what for?" Ron asked. Fidgeting.
She hugged him tight. "Saving us… my Mom was infected…" sobbing. "She's ok."
He squeezed. "You're welcome Zoë." She kissed his cheek and slipped away. Crying.
Chorus 3 :
It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just FEEL the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love
The Power Of Love

He sat some more…
A familiar presence sat next to him…
"Hi Unc. … OH! Uh!" Ron sputtered.
"It's ok Ron." He said as he chewed his cigar. "How'd…"
"Hai Karate… you're the only guy I know that uses that stuff." They grinned.
Nick stared out the plasteel window. "Ron… about Kim… I'm sorry. really."
Ron looked at his Uncle. "It's ok. I didn't like it… hiding who you are from KP… but it had to be done y'know." The Deep sat in his eyes. "The world we live in isn't safe…"
"And you decided ta keep yer word… as long as you could keep them safe it'd do." Nick said passing Ron a Cuban.
"Yeah." he pocketed the cigar.
Camaraderie and understanding…
"Y'know Ron… yer very lucky… guys think I can get any gal I want… not true." Ron stared at his Uncle. "A lot of 'em died before I could tell 'em…" Nick thought about the Contessa Valentina Allegra di Fontaine, "Or got played by an enemy so's I couldn't trust 'em… for a while…"
Ron knew that look. "Unc… I could talk to her… The Ronman's got some ways to get the ladies to see the light…"
"Nah. If we can be friends again one day… that'll be good enough fer me…"
"That's Unc-speak for 'I like Betty Director… A LOT." He smiled as Nick looked at him the same way he'd looked at the Howlers when he was pissed. "Just sayin'."
"Hmph!" Nick rose.
"Hey Unc'? Thanks… for watching over Kim. You have my blessing… about Betty." He ducked a swipe. "I'll tell Natasha you'll be looking for China patterns soon… or not."
"HAHAHAHA! I love ya Ron. Ya got the same moxie Imi had. Speakin' o' Betty, gotta find 'er. Owe 'er a dance or two."
Nick sat three cases next to Ron, "Grats Ron. The other's for Kim and Sheila. You passed."
A stunned Ronald Dean Stoppable opened The Link full bore…
"What's that Sir?" he said. Kim and Sheila paused talking to Kim's folks; listened and saw…
"You three passed yer trainin'. Lt Col fer all three. Sheila's my 'consultant' fer 'special matters'… Kim's Field Commander… You're in charge of Logistics… it's on a trial basis. Yer folks, Kim's and Excalibur are part of yer new team under UN charter. Yer gonna need it… ta fight him. The rank's provisional… emergencies… got it?"
'UN charter…?' Sheila thought. 'Do you guys know what this means?'
'Yeah.' Ron said with a smile. 'More homework. Genghis Khan started at my age… not sayin' I wanna do that… just sayin'… uh I think I'll shut now…' he said as the Girls frowned at him.
'No Duh.' Kim. 'Where are you anyway?'
He stared out the plasteel window… 'find me…' and cut the link.
They hugged and thanked Kim's and Ron's folks for everything. Waved at Stick who was dancing with Nan…
And began to hunt.
"Sheila where did you last see Ron?" Kim asked.
"He was wandering around… then he disappeared…" Sheila tried the link… 'He's not answering…'
'I know. It's my fault…' they began to look… went up a corridor on a hunch…
'there…' Sheila said as they found him standing on the deck staring at everything… and nothing.
'It's cool… I'm ok.' He sent. It was flavored with sadness and bittersweet joy…
Mc Honey sang…
I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you
'(This song fits… glad Mom and Dad kept their Motown…)' "Ron…" Kim said as she looked into his eyes… "Even if it takes the rest of our lives… I'll show…" she looked at Sheila and took their hands… "You both how much I love and value your being in my life…"
Sheila grinned. "What?" Kim cried, grinning back despite herself… "Nothin' Princess… just thinking how wild and crazy my life's been… since I fell in love with you guys. It's been 'one helluva ride' as Nick would say…"
"Yeah." Ron said. "We've been all over the World… become Agents of SHIELD… Royalty… Helped save the Multiverse…" he sat on a bench and looked at his girls. "What she said." They absently picked up their cases and pocketed them… focused on other things.
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason… there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
"Yeah." Kim said as the shock settled in… "Met a Time Lord… Seen God… and survived…"
"Learned some of the Secrets of the Multiverse…" Sheila. "Met our counterparts…" '(Too bad, Bad Hand's Sheila and Kim were a teeny bit wimpy…)'
"Helped folks get back on track…" Ron. 'Thanks Hon. We owe you… BIG!' Kim and Sheila. 'The Ronman can only do his best for his ladies…'
Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you
"Met some amazing people…" Ron.
"The Carmpan…" Sheila.
"Starlord… Aurora… Cap." Kim.
"Prince William… Cain Marko…" Ron.
"Shang Chi… Logan…" Kim. She gave a wry grin to Ron. "Your Uncle." He blushed.
They looked at the sky for a moment…
"The Coolest… Like Mar-Vell…" Ron frowned. "and the uncoolest."
"Yeah." Kim turned to them. "I'm just glad we had each other's back." She looked at Sheila. "Thanks for being there for us when we…" a light dawned. "You knew we'd get back together!"
"No. No I didn't… I had faith…" Sheila sat, struck by her thought. 'I… I really… DID!'
They smiled…
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason… there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know… You. You're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me
The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me
Gladys Knight & The Pips
Written by Jim Weatherly
Kim got an Idea!
"C'mon!" she said as she firmly and gently led them back.
Kim ran to the stage and whispered to MC Honey's band…
She tapped the mike… "Pardon me everyone…" all eyes turned to her… "I have a confession to make… I hurt…" a tear. "two people that love me so much… because of my 'big-headiness'…" a collective gasp rose from the assembled… her voice lowered to a whisper… "and i… i just want to say i'm sorry…"
She tremulously began to sing…
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
Sheila walked onto the stage as she joined in… to Kim's surprise…!
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
They linked hands and turned to Ron… Who also walked onstage and began to sing…
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why i need you to hear
They turned to each other… Time stood still for them…
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
Ron showed Kim his hurt for hiding the truth from her for so long…
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
Sheila… her regrets at the fights they had before she'd become a hero again…
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
Kim for being so critically egotistical…
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
But through it all, their love shone as a beacon…
The Reason
Hoobastank
To Everyone.
An awkward silence…
Then cheers!
Ron whispered to, then shooed the Girls offstage.
He looked at Al and Rufus… then Kim who stood with a person Al secretly fancied…
"Al take a break babe." A puzzled Al Evans was led out of the sound box by Sheila and was asked to dance by…
Silver Sablinova…
Aka…
Silver Sable…
Nick winked at a flustered Al as he was swept onto the dancefloor…
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
Logan took a mike and growled out…
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
Ron and Logan sang…
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
Nick joined in… The Ladies that knew him fell over in laughter!
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
Then… James Possible… to Anne's giggling embarrassment…
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
"So… Tell me about yourself. You're friends say you're a quietly courageous man…" Silver purred as they danced.
"Uh well… not much to tell really. I just try to do my best." He husked out… blasted by her beauty.
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You May Be Right
Billy Joel Lyrics
Ron signaled to Al he was needed onstage…
Brick kissed Bonnie and ran up…
And…
Joined the Oh Boys…
The lights went out
Firelight lit the stage
Pix of Kim, Sheila, and Bonnie floated overhead
A spotlight lit on Ron as he pointed to The Girls.
Ron began to sing
You are my fire
The ones I desire
Believe me when I say
I want it that way
Video began to flash overhead as Brick flickered in
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Showing their missions…
The Oh Boys
CHORUS:
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Their awkward moments… At school…
Then Al as he looked at Silver
Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
CHORUS
Heroic… and humble moments…
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know that
Deep down inside of me
Showing their downs…
You are my fire
The ones I desire
You are, you are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you say...
Their being there for each other regardless…
Don't wanna hear you say,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way
Their ups…
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Tell me why,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Don't wanna hear you say),
I want it that way
Spotlights and voices flickered out 'til
Tell me why...
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
Tell me why,
I never wanna hear you say,
(Never wanna hear you say it),
I want it that way
Only Ron was left
CAUSE I want it that way
It shrank… and blipped out as the videos focused on…
I want it that way…
Their love for each other.
I Want It That Way
Backstreet Boys
It was a standing ovation.
Later after things had died down…
As her Parents grabbed mikes and walked onstage, Kim walked up to Sheila.
"May I Have This Dance?" she asked her beloved Partner.
"Yes You May." Sheila said with a blush.
"Hit It!" Kim cried.
Now i've had the time of my life
no i've never felt like this before
yes i swear it's the truth
and i owe it all to you
Kim slowly waltzed Sheila across the floor…
The crowd began to clap…
Ron's parents smiled as Anne and James sang, as did Prince William as they Danced.
Anne and Esther held Tears for their Children.
James and Imi had Dust in Their Eyes.
Even Logan was choked up…
Cus i've had the time of my life
and i owe it all to you
They twirled back and forth…
I've been waiting for so long
now i've finally found someone
to stand by me
Kim dipped Sheila, flipped herself over with Sheila following…
We saw the writing on the wall
as we felt this magical fantasy
Cartwheeled to Ron and strutted them towards Sheila…
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise
it secretly
Who beheld her Loves… with all her Heart.
So we take each others hand
cause we seem to understand the urgency
They linked with Sheila and Danced around the floor…
Just remember
You're the one that i cant
get enough of,
So i'll tell you something
this could be love,
Interlinking with each other…
because
Partner to Partner…
I've had the time of my life
No i've never felt this way before,
yes i swear… it's the truth, and i
owe it all to you
Friend to Friend…
Hey Baby!
Lover to Lover…
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Wives to Husband…
So we'll just let it go,
don't be afraid to lose control, no
Husband to Wives…
Yes i know it's on your mind,
when you say stay with me tonight
Soul to Soul.
Just remember,
You're the one thing,
I can't get enough of…
so i'll tell you something,
This could be love...
As everyone clapped and sang along…
because
i've had the time of my life,
i've never felt this way before,
yes i swear, it's the truth,
and i owe it all to you
cause i've had the time of my life,
i searched through every open door,
'till i found the truth,
and i owe it all to you
(instrumental)
I've had the time of my life
(ooh)
no I've never felt this way before
(never felt this way)
yes, i swear, its the truth...
And i owe it all to you!
(chorus 3X)
I've Been Having The Time Of My Life

Sweat cooled on his skin…
Ron sat in bed with the girls as they slept off their loving…
'Whatever it takes. You're goin' down.' he gazed fondly at Sheila, Kim. 'No more.'
He looked. Kim and Sheila were… watching. 'Hon.' Sheila/Kim. Hardened.
'We're not going to let you destroy your soul over this…' Softened. 'The best way we know how…' "By Loving You."
