"Well it's time for me to go..."
"Yeah. I can't believe it myself either. Fourteen years together and now we have to break the team up...this tanks."
"Ron, I'm just only going to meet the Dean of Go City University and moving into my dorm room. It's no big."
"It means you're not the girl next door any more, KP! Can you imagine that? Now I have to walk a whole block away just to meet you!"
"Ron..."
"Okay, okay, okay...I'll deal with it..."
"Yeah...at least we're in the same college. I can't believe that you managed to get in...how did you get into GCU anyways?" Kim Possible arched an eyebrow as she gazed at her boyfriend, Ron Stoppable suspiciously.
He replied her question with a sneaky grin. "Oh...let's just say that the Ron-man took the long way to make sure that he's going to be with his main girl forever."
"Uh huh...yeah..." she raised up her hand and pressed a button on her wrist Kimmunicator. "Wade, you know anything about this?"
The screen on the flickered to life and a boy in his early teens looked at her with a slight smile. "Sorry Kim. Ron's legit on this."
"Really?" Kim looked at her boyfriend in surprise.
"Yeah...Ron got a letter of acceptance a month ago...after sending GCU a thousand letters of applications. I think the post-script on the letter said 'Stop bugging us, kid.'"
She laughed softly and looked at Ron with a slight smile on her lips. "Alright...you did a good job, Ron. So...I'll see you at GCU in a few days then." She leaned forward and kissed his cheek lightly.
"Unless maybe Wade can get us a mission before then," Ron said to her softly, almost teasingly.
"Well...in that case, I'll see you on our next mission then."

"What do you mean, no missions?" Kim asked incredulously, standing up and staring at the man seated before her, who returned her stare with a withering gaze. A nameplate before him read 'Anthony Mancuso, Dean of Go City University.'
"Ms Possible, if you would please be seated?" he gestured to the chair that she had just jumped up from. She continued to glare at him for a moment longer before she sat down once more.
"Now, Ms Possible, we here at GCU are aware of your extra-curricular activities..."
"Which also include saving the world on a regular basis," Kim interjected, still fuming over the situation.
"Of course. Your actions against the alien invaders are to be lauded. However, your activities are still something that the University does not consider to be an actual extra-curricular activity," he says tersely.
"And you've only now decided to tell me this?" Kim asked, feeling rather frustrated at the sudden situation that was now only taking place. All the sweet talking when she first came here, the tour and most importantly, the full scholarship was just too good to be true, it seems.
"We thought it would be best to break the news to you in person and in private..."
"After I signed up with the university?"
He didn't reply to her accusation. "Of course, you could choose to sign up with another university. I've heard that other universities around the world have sent you letters of acceptance as well...but has any of them offered you the same thing that GCU has?" he asked, leaning back against his chair.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down. He had her there: she had overheard her parents talk about the cost of rebuilding their home after the Lowardian invasion and it was huge. GCU's scholarship offer came at the right time and after a tour of the university in the summer convinced her that GCU was the best choice to make given the current situation.
"Now, Ms Possible. We don't expect you to completely quit your world-saving activities..." Kim's heart rose and she looked at him hopefully.
"However, you may only do so if such activities do not interfere with your studies nor may you skip classes to save the world."
"Gee...that's reasonable. I'm sure the bad guys are going to wait for me to finish class before trying to take over the world," she said dryly.
"And that would be extremely reasonable of them," he replied in an equally dry manner. "Now, do we have an agreement?" he asked, leaning forward to look at her.
She gritted her teeth. "For now," she said after a moment to calm her nerves.

"Aah...that man is such a jerk!" Kim complained as she picked up her luggage and walked to her room.
"In the sense that he wants you to have a proper education without the interruptions of having to save the world at the drop of a hat coming in the way of your studies?" her mother remarked, helping her daughter with her stuff.
"Mom, stop trying to make the dean sound like a reasonable person," she retorted to her mother.
Ann smiled that patient smile of hers, nodding at her daughter. "Well, I like that decision. It means your father and I don't have to worry so much about you running off in the middle of class to fight some villain's scheme to take over the world," she said lightly.
"You two didn't seem to worry so much about it when I was in high school."
"Nonsense, Kimmie. Parents always worry about their children, even the ones who are world saving heroes. It's our thing," she pointed out.
Kim sighed and looked away for a moment, quiet as she appeared to be far away in thought.
"Is this about Ron?" Ann asked after another moment had passed.
"Hmm? Yes...no, I don't know really. I mean it's great to be able to see him during missions but...maybe I've just been doing this hero business for so long that I don't really know what to do if I can't do it any more," she said after another moment of silence.
"Live life as a normal college girl?" her mother suggested.
Kim giggled a little. "Mom, when was that ever possible for a Possible?"
"True. You were always meant for bigger things than a normal life. Maybe this hero thing is a normal life for you. Would you want to have it any other way?"
Kim shook her head. "Of course not. Thanks mom," she reached out to give her mother a hug only for her luggage to get in the way, who simply laughed and set down the luggage first before returning the hug.
"Now we better get to your room first before your brothers does...or unless you want them introducing you to your room-mate."
"Oh no..."

"...and this is a picture of Kim when she was five..." Kim could hear one of her brother say as she approached her room, number 387, although whether it was Jim or Tim, she wasn't quite sure.
"Tweebs!" she shouted out angrily as she ran the last few feet and burst into her room. Her brothers were inside the room, talking to a young Indian girl who was looked to be about Kim's age. Startled, she looked up at Kim, her brown eyes blinking behind her glasses. "Kim Possible?" she squeaked, the disbelief strong in her voice.
"Er..." Kim looked at her in embarrassment. "Yeah...that's me...what were my brothers showing you?" she asked, noticing that the twins were quickly hiding something behind their backs.
"Oh...er..." the other girl flushed a little. "No...they didn't show me a picture of you when you were in kindergarten...
Sighing, she turned her gaze towards her brothers. "Okay tweebs. Out," she said sternly, pointing towards the door where her mother was looking on in amusement.
"Awww...c'mon Kim. We haven't even gotten to the good part yet," Tim complained, as he unzipped his red jacket and pulled out a PDA from under it.
"I am so not asking what it is that is inside that PDA and I don't want to know either. Out, tweebs!" Kim pointed at the door once more.
"C'mon boys. We should let your sister unpack in peace," Anne finally said, gesturing at the twins to follow her out, which they do, each one flicking a grin and a wink at Kim's room-mate, who simply blushed at the attention she was receiving. "See you again, Darnia," Jim called out. "Maybe next time, we'll show you pictures of Kim's boyfriend," he said before Kim slammed the door shut before them.
Kim shook her head in despair before she looked at her room-mate. "Er...Darnia right?" she said, now looking somewhat sheepish.
"Er...yeah...oh I haven't introduced myself yet," she said, still looking rather flustered about what had just happened. "I'm Darnia Darsha and you're Kim Possible, teen hero extraordinaire and multiple time world saver. And now you're my room-mate. Oh my..." she stared at Kim in awe.
"Uh huh...what you said," Kim said, somewhat disoriented by Darnia's words. "So...what are you studying here, Darnia?" she asked, trying to distance the conversation away from herself.
"Oh me? Well I'm here to do telecommunications actually," Darnia said as she adjusted her glasses carefully. "Always was a bit of an internet nerd so it's just seemed like a natural thing for me to do," she gave Kim a shy smile.
"Hey, that's neat, Darnia. Maybe next time if I have some problems with my internet, I'll know who to look for, " Kim said as she began unpacking her belongings.
"Oooh...does that make me your new sidekick?" Darnia asked excitedly, almost bouncing in place.
"No. But you can be a consultant if you like," Kim replied with a smile on her lips. Maybe college wasn't going to be so bad after all.
