Hey all. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life and all that. But here it is, another chapter. Enjoy.

Standard Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it...

The next morning dawned with Ron waking up and discovering that Kim was leaning over him, holding him as if he were the last life preserver in the world, sweating like a dog, and whimpering.

"Kim, wake up."

"RON!" Kim exclaimed as she awoke with a start.

"Another bad dream."

"It was awful. I was falling and...and.."

"Shh, its ok. I'm right here and your fine." Ron soothed as he held Kim close.

"Thanks Ron." Kim replied as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend.

The next couple of days were uneventful. With Kim not being able to see, time seemed to pass unbearably. Ron did his best to try and cure that. He talked to her for hours on end, updating her on what their friends were doing since high school.

"Monique has gone off to fashion school and is loving it. She was just about ready to launch her new designer line. She promised to send us some."

"That's great. Tell her I say congratulations."

"Can do Kimbo."

Bonnie, as it had turned out, had actually turned her life around and was now working as a secretary for the CEO of a large company that produced parts for microwaves.

"I never would have pictured Bonnie as a secretary."
"Me neither Kim."

Felix, true to his nature, was playing Zombie Mayhem, only now it was for charity for kids who needed wheel chairs.

Tara had gone to beauty school, Ron Reiger to MIT, the list went on and on. But what really interested Kim was the days when her family came to visit. Her mother and father brought her flowers, Joss brought her her collection of Oh Boyz CD's to listen to. And her brothers brought her a custom built massaging pillow. It was on one of these days that the tweebs asked to speak to Ron outside.

"Hey Kim." asked Jim.

"Can we." Asked Tim.

"Borrow Ron." Continued Jim.

"For a minute." Tim finished.

Even without being able to see Kim's eyes, Ron could tell she wasn't too keen on letting him leave her side. Her parents saw this too.

"Let him go Kim. Your father and I will stay until they get back." Mrs. Dr. P interjected.

"Alright, but have him back in ine piece." Kim said as she forced out a small laugh.

Once outside, Tim was the first to speak.

"We wanted to thank you."

"For saving our sister."

"Time and time again."

"So we."

"Built you."

"A car!"

At this moment a car came driving around the corner of the hospital. The car was in fact a new SRT Dodge Viper (Copyright Chrystler Motor Company). The car was a dark shade of blue with two lighter blue stripes running down the center of the body. The spoiler on the back was the same shade as the car only instead of stripes, it had light blue lighting all over it. The tires were 18-inch aluminum low profile rims. The car was also sporting some blue neon cab and underlighting.

"The car has all the features included in the Sloth, plus a few more." Tim said as he pressed a button on the small remote in his hand. All of a sudden, electricity started bound all over the outside of the car.

"The voltage is non lethal but it will make a person jump, kind of like an electric fence." Jim finished.

"Coolio." Ron said as he stared in aw at the car that was now his.

-Sniff- "I don't know what to say." Ron bubbled.

"You don't have to say anything." Tim replied.

After Ron pulled himself together, the trio went back inside.

Kim could tell it was Ron coming down the hall because with every other step, she heard a clunk, which was his cane. As soon as she heard him in the room, she started reaching for him, and after a couple of seconds, she found him.

The two lovers talked with the fam for a while longer, and once they left, the teens settled down to go to sleep. But sleep was scarce for Ron. He kept thinking how everyone was hailing him a hero for saving Kim, even the media had started to remember his name in recent months, while in reality, the only reason she was in that sitch was because of his forgetfulness. Ron looked of to the table in the room and noticed the keys he put there earlier. He made a decision. Carefully, without waking Kim, he got out of the bed and swiped his keys as he made his way to the door, carefully closing it behind himself.

"I'm sorry Kim, but it's the only way." Ron murmured as he made his way to his car.

As Ron made his way to his car, he pressed the auto starter. The neon fired up and the car roared to life. As Ron got on, he pressed the car's built in communicator, which was not surprisingly in the same place as the Sloth's. As soon as he released the button, Wade's face appeared on the screen.

"Hey Ron. What are you doing up so late?"
"I need you to track Adrena Lynn to her hideout."

"Sure, I'm on it, but why?"

"I have a score to settle."

"O...k, but are you sure you can do it alone."

Ron reved the engine as he replied "Oh yeah, I'm sure."

"Ok, well here are the coordinates, good luck."

"Thanks Wade." Ron replied as he sped down the road.

What Wade had failed to notice due to the car's interior lighting, is that Ron's skin had taken on a blue hue. So as Ron shot down the road, he let off a "Booyahahahahahaha" and sped off.

So what did you all think? As Always, R&R.
