This goes with earlier oneshot 'Happiness'… kinda not a oneshot anymore though.

How the situation in 'Happiness' came to be from Ron's point of view.

Prelude to Happiness

Ron sat alone in his tree house, completely ignoring the torrential rain as it hammered of the roof above him. In fact he was ignoring most everything, or at least trying to.

He was ignoring the homework he wasn't doing.
He was ignoring the fact that he had gotten soaked walking out to the tree house.
He was ignoring the fact that he had left Rufus behind somewhere.
He was ignoring the fact that less than twenty-four hours ago he had been a villain bent on world domination.
He was ignoring the fact that he had built at least three super-weapons for that very purpose.
He was ignoring the fact that he had threatened Shego into submission. Shego, of all people, had been afraid of him.

But he could not ignore the fact that he had come within an inch of killing his best friend, Kim Possible.

She had dodged around the lasers, escaped from the mechanical tentacles, and even shutdown his superweapon.

But he hadlet her.

He could have killed her at a moments notice. No fanfare, no gloating, no hum of a plasma cannon, no click from a pit-trap.

No warning. Dead.

He remembered what Vader had said in one of the movies, 'if only you knew the power of the Dark-Side.' Well now he did, it was powerful, and it scared him. He was scared because for the first time he realised that the great Kim Possible, the girl who could do anything, was woefully mortal. One day she was going to go up against someone who was truly evil, like he had almost become, and they wouldn't be playing around with plasma staves and photon cannon. They were going to have knives and guns and ex-military goons and she was going to die.

He wasn't going to let that happen. Not if he could help it.

He looked down at the notes that he hadn't even noticed he was making. Schematics, plans, diagrams, lists, plots. All written down on little pieces of paper. Sure it was just a rough draft, it needed more research and refinement, but with this he could take over the world! Wait…what?

He looked down again and realised what he was really looking at; it was a Villainous Plot. Chaos, destruction, mayhem and a doomsday threat for control of the world. It was completely foolproof. Except for the fact that it wouldn't work. The main problem was that when Supervillains made their plans 'foolproof'; they didn't realise that they weren't up against fools. They were up against agencies like Mossad, the CIA, NSA, MI5, KGB and GJ… all the initials in the alphabet were up against them, they were not fools.

They were also against Kim Possible. It was no contest. No supervillain wouldever take over the world.

He sighed and scrunched up the paper into little balls then set them on fire and threw them out into the rain. Even if the fire didn't destroy them, the rain would.

And again he blinked and realised what he had just done; he had come up with a Take-Over-The-World scheme; evaluated it from several angles, determined that it wouldn't work, dismissed it and destroyed the evidence. He was Ron Stoppable, the not-too-bright sidekick of teen hero Kim Possible, and he had just come up with a reasonably viable plot to take over the world. He had dismissed it, but only because it wasn't good enough. It might have worked, but there was no guarantee..

He shouldn't be thinking these thoughts, he knew it. Something waswrong, very wrong and he needed help. But not from these quack doctors or shrinks, and definitely not GJ, they'd have killed for the designs of the deathray he had just thrown away and would want more from him. No, he needed someone who could actually help.

The twice soaked Ron soon found himself sitting in front of his computer, waiting…

"Hey Ron, what's… whoa, you look like death warmed over, you okay? You need me to call Kim?"

"No, wade, and no again… but I do need a massive favour…"

…

Unbidden in the back of his mind; an idea began to form; "no supervillain would ever take over the world… but what if a hero were to try?"

this little thing wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it… but hopefully now I can get back to my main stories…
