Chapter 3: Love
-----
(Ron, in Kim's body/head)
'Kim?'
'Hello, Ron.'
'Kim!' and he ran and hugged her, then kissed her.
'Kim; what happened?'
Kim smiled. 'You're in my head, Ron.'
'But, this isn't like the last time, is it?'
Kim smiled even more.
'No, Ron, it's not.
'This time, I'm here to show you my mind, my thoughts, that which is most dear and special and frightening to me, Ron.'
'Like what, Kim?'
'Like this, Ron,' and she waved her hand, and the green walls changed.
They were outside, and a young Kim was standing with a young Walter Nelson, and they were leaning into each other, both sets of eyes closed…
…and they kissed.
Kim pulled back, and Walter's mouth came with her.
'What's happening, Walter?' the sound that came out wasn't that, but Ron could understand them.
'Our braces…we're hooked together, Kim.'
'I'm dead,' Kim said, and a young Ron came around the corner, and the scene faded, and the green walls surrounding them reappeared.
'You remember what you did, Ron?'
'Yea: I called my mother, and she took you two to the dentist.'
'More importantly, Ron:
'You didn't laugh at either of us, then or later;
'You didn't yell at me for kissing Walter;
'You didn't tell my parents, especially my dad, what you saw.
'That's when I knew you were something and someone special, Ron.
'Well, it was kinda funny, but you too looked so scared, I had to help.
'Thank you, Ron, for not laughing at us,' and Kim kissed his cheek.
'You're a lucky man, Ron,' a voice came from behind him, and Ron turned to see a tall, handsome young man walking towards him.
'Walter Nelson, Ron. Glad to finally meet you,' and he shook Ron's hand.
'Walter?'
'It's me, Ron: I moved with my parents at the end of that year, and I never had another chance to kiss Kim after that day.
'That's why I said you're lucky, Ron: she was pretty back then, but she's breathtakingly beautiful now, and she loves you so much.
'Don't throw that away.'
'I have no plans to, Walter,' and he shook Walter's hand once again, and Walter released his hand and walked over to Kim.
'Thank you, Kim: you were my first kiss, and it was great, even memorable,' and Walter and Kim and Ron all laughed. Then, Walter kissed Kim's cheek.
'You don't get away that easily, Walter,' and Kim grabbed his face and kissed him.
When Walter came up for air, he was all smiles.
'Hey, Ron, can I get a clone of Kim?'
'Sorry, Walter, but Drakken tried, and it didn't work too well.'
'Hey, man, I had to ask," Walter grinned.
'You are a VERY lucky man, Ron.
'Be good to him, Kim,' and he walked away, fading into the greenness.
'How?' Ron asked.
'It's my mind, Ron,' and Kim smiled as she took his hand and pulled him into her, administering 'Vertical CPR.'
'You like that, Ron?' Kim smiled at him when they came up for air.
'yea….'
'How about this?' and Kim suddenly was dressed in Shego's green-and-black outfit, this time with no chip on her forehead.
'yea…' he grinned, and then shook his head several times.
'Sick and Wrong, KP! Sick and Wrong!'
'Not on me, Ronald,' and Shego came up behind Ron, grabbing his shoulders and spinning him around to face her.
"Shego!' and his mouth was suddenly covered by black lips as Shego attempted to devour him, grabbing him and pulling him so close that Ron was afraid that he was going to be wearing the green/black outfit with Shego.
'NO! RON!' Kim screamed, and Ron broke away.
'What's wrong, sidekick? Green Goddess, undressing, isn't good enough for you?' and Shego seductively caressed her body and began to slowly pull the zipper down the front middle of her outfit.
'You like, Ron?' and she pulled the jumpsuit down to reveal her green-and-black bra, supporting more than a handful.
'Shego, what are you doing?'
'Just having a little fun, Kim,' and she took a final seductive step into Ron and pulled him into her again, kissing him passionately.
Ron reacted as most males would: he kissed her back.
How could someone sooo bad be sooo good? was the question that certain parts of his body were asking, and then he broke away, shaking his head.
'No, Shego, and don't get me wrong:
'You not evil and I'm not taken, we could do some pretty frightening things together.
'Ask Zorpox,' and Shego shuddered, 'but, not now.
'Not when I have the best there is or ever will be for me, Shego, and, so sad for you, it's not you,' Ron said with conviction (he hoped).
'Princess: you've won,' Shego smiled sadly as she pulled the zipper back up. 'I fight you because I wanted to see Ron. I'd much rather be fighting him: he's extra-special and spicy. You ever get tired of him, call me.'
'Not gonna happen, Shego,' Kim replied, and Shego just shook her head and walked away, into the green walls.

(Kim, in Ron's body/head)
'Ron?'
'Hello, Kim.'
'RON!' she shouted as she ran and hugged him, then kissed him passionately.
'Ron: what happened?'
Ron smiled. 'You're in my head, Kim.'
'This isn't like the last time.'
Ron smiled even more.
'Very good, Kim. No, it's not.
'This time, I'm here to show you my mind, my thoughts, that which is most dear and special and frightening to me, Kim.'
'Like what, Ron?'
'Like this, Kim,' and he waved his hand, and the chocolate brown walls surrounding then changed.
'Ron! Get your head in the game!' They were in one of Drakken's time-share lairs.
'Right, KP,' and Ron promptly tripped over a power cable run that Drakken had left on top of the floor, and as he fell he heard Kim scream in agony.
He looked up to see Shego's plasma blast glow dying off of Kim's burned legs, and he watched Kim fall to the ground, screaming in agony.
'KIM!' he yelled as he seemingly levitated to the vertical and beat Shego to Kim, cradling her head in his arms.
He lay her head down after finding a strong pulse and stood, faced Shego, drew the Mystical Monkey Power from within and he shot a blue energy beam straight at Shego's legs, melting the leg-coverings onto her legs.
Shego fell to the floor, screaming in agony, and Ron walked over to her and stared into her pain-filled eyes..
'Eye for an eye, Shego,' he stated calmly, and she passed out.
Ron then went back to Kim and grabbed her Kimmunicator.
'Wade, need medical evac for two, last week! Kim's down,' and he slammed the unit to the ground.
'Kim,' he called as he lifted her head gently and kissed her lips. Her eyes fluttered for a second, then partially opened.
'Kim,' and he kissed her lips, again, and she smiled and grimaced, then her eyes flashed completely open.
'Ron, I can't feel my legs.'
'Hush, Kim. It'll be all right,' he murmured into her hair.
'I…can't…feel…my…legs,' and she looked over and saw Shego sprawled on the ground.
'Ron, what happened?'
'Shego burned you with a plasma blast, and I returned the favor to her.
'Lie still, my Kim: you will be well,' and he kissed her, once again.
'Ron, what it I'm not?' and she began to scrunch her face, attempting to prevent tears from escaping.
'Then, I will give you my life, Kim. You will be well.'
'HOW, Ron?'
'I don't know, Kim, but I pledged my life to your dad, and I have every intention of delivering on that pledge.
'He offered to take the responsibility away from me, allow me to reclaim my pledge when we got engaged, but I told him that my word was my bond.
'Ron,' and Kim began to cry and wheeze.
'Kim?' and her breath became shallower, and her eyes rolled back into her head.
'NOOOOOOOO!
'MY LIFE FOR HERS!' Ron screamed into the air.
'Done,' and Ron began to wheeze while Kim's breathing became stronger, and she opened her eyes, again.
'Ron? What did you do?' Kim suddenly sat up and looked at her legs: they were healed.
Ron was wheezing and short of breath.
'Ron, what did you do?' Kim asked, again.
She looked at Ron's legs: they were burned beyond recognition.
'RON STOPPABLE!'
Ron looked at Kim, and he smiled thru the pain.
He spoke as his breathing became shallower.
'I took your pain away, Kim.
'That's what a good sidekick does: distract,' and his body convulsed, and the light in his eyes began to fade.
'I…will always…have your…back…KP.
'I…love…you….' and his eyes rolled back in his head, and Ron Stoppable was stopped.
The scene faded into the chocolate brown walls, and Kim and Ron were left there. Kim fell to her knees and began to weep uncontrollably.
'Why are you crying, Kim?' Ron knelt down beside her and placed his arm around her shoulder.
'You gave up…your life…. for me?'
'My biggest fear, Kim, is that I will not be there when you need me, that I would fail you, and then I would lose you.
'I cannot allow that to happen, Kim: I promised your dad that I would die before I let any harm come to you.'
'Ron, you have never failed me, and you never will fail me.
'I've seen your love for me, and I've felt you love for me, and I know your love for me: with that love, you can never fail me,' and she reached up and kissed him passionately, pulled him down to the ground and continued to kiss him.
'Justine, I like you.' and the chocolate brown walls opened up to reveal the back row of a movie theater. Kim rolled over, and she and Ron watched the back of the theater.
'I like you, too, Ronald,' and 12-year-old Justine Flanner reached over and took 12-year-old Ron's hand and placed it around her shoulder.
'Is that all right, Justine?'
'Oh, it's more than all right, Ronald,' and she smiled in the dark.
'Swell,' and he grinned as he pulled her closer to him, and her head went to his shoulder.
They stayed like this for the rest of the movie, Ron grinning like an idiot and Justine smiling like one, both never seeing the other until the lights came up as the credits rolled, and they looked at each other.
'So, did you like the movie, Justine?'
'What movie, Ronald?' and she looked up at him, expectantly.
His face moved downward, slowly, and he watched her eyes close and her lips quiver a bit….
…and he kissed her.
She liked the way he felt on her lips.
He liked the way her lips moved just a bit as they kissed.
'So, this is what you're reduced to now, Ronald: rolling on the ground with Kimberly?'
Kim looked up and saw the 12-year-old Justine now standing over her.
And, Justine was crying.
Kim and Ron both stood, and they faced the 12-year-old.
'You took my Ronald away from me, Kimberly!' Justine cried out.
Justine began to hit Kim on her chest and arms with her open hands, slapping at her, until she finally ran out of energy and fell into her, sobbing.
'IT'S NOT FAIR!
'IT'S NOT FAIR!
'Why, Kimberly, do you have to get it all, and I get nothing?' and she lifted her face up to stare directly into Kim's eyes.
'I WANT MY RONALD!' she screamed and fell back onto her chest, crying.
'Justine…' Kim stood there, arms down, feeling awkwierd, and then she gave Justine a light hug.
'Justine, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was selfish and wanted him to myself, and I was scared of you.'
Justine looked up at Kim in surprise and shock.
'You? Scared of me? Why?'
'cause I was afraid that he'd pick you over me, so I forced him to choose me.'
'It's all right, Justine,' and Kim looked up and saw the Justine that she knew.
The younger Justine turned quickly and saw her older self.
'Why is it all right?' she demanded as she stormed over and faced herself.
'We grew and learned to be independent, concentrated on our studies and our science, and now we are sought after, around the world,' replied the older Justine.
"But, what about Ronald?'
'He is a friend, a very dear friend, but we've found someone else,' the older Justine smiled, and Kim smiled knowingly.
'Who?' The young one demanded.
'Me,' the deep voice resounded as hands appeared around the waists of both Justines.
'I couldn't be there for you then, Justine, and I'm sorry, but I'm here, now,' the voice added, and older Justine reached up and received a kiss.
'Who…are you?'
'You don't know me: I didn't live here, back then, but I'm here now for you, and I'll always be here for you, Justine.'
'OK,' said the younger Justine, not entirely certain, and the scene faded into the chocolate brown walls.
'Ron, I never knew you felt so deeply about Justine,' Kim smiled.
'Kim, if you hadn't made me choose, who knows what would have happened. But, I'm happy you made me choose, even though it hurt back then.
'Thank you: once again, a cheerleader saved my life,' and Ron laughed as he kissed Kim's cheek.

(Joss, in Wade's body/head)
'Wade?'
'Hello, Jocelyn. I've been expecting you.'
'WADE!' she shouted as she ran towards him then stopped suddenly right in front of him and glared.
'Wade, I'm still mad at you.'
Wade smiled. 'Then, we'd better get that straightened out, first, Jocelyn.'
'Where am I?'
Wade smiled even more.
'You're in my head, Joss.
'Where are you?
'I'm in your head, Joss, and here, as well.
'I'm here to show you my mind, my thoughts, that which is most dear and special and frightening to me, Joss.'
'Like what, Wade?'
'Like how we started fighting yesterday, Joss,' and he waved his hand, and the ice-blue walls surrounding them changed, and they opened into Wade's office, and Wade was sitting at his desk.
'BlazeIt! What a great idea for the name of the search and rescue team; we just need to handle the incorporation and the design of the logo'
'I thought you didn't like the idea, Wade,' Joss was surprised, and then Joss came in.
'Well, Wade?'
'If we get someone to draw up the artwork and lawyers to work with the Team Possible lawyers, I think we have a winner, Joss.
'Your artwork won't work, though,' Wade continued, but before he could finish, Joss exploded.
'My artwork is bad? I suppose you think the whole idea is bad, too, Wade!' she shouted.
'No, Joss, not everything, just the art. It's not good, it's al-' but she cut him off before he could finish.
'It's not good? NOT GOOD?
'Does that mean I'm not good enough for you, either, Wade?'
'No, Joss, that's not what I meant.'
'So, now you're changing your story?'
'NO!' and Wade yelled at her.
'If you'd stop being childish, Joss, I could tell you what the problem was.'
'SO, NOW I'M CHILDISH, HUH?'
'WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A THREE-YEAR-OLD WHO DOESN'T GET HER WAY ALL THE TIME, YES!'
They stared at each other, glared at each other, then Joss slammed her hand on the desk.
'FINE!' and she stormed out.
'FINE!' and Wade slammed his hand on the desk.
'STUPID GIRL!' he yelled as she slammed the door open and came back into the room.
'So, now I'm stupid, huh?'
'Well, if the shoe fits…' he replied, and she growled at him and stormed out of the room.
'Wait, Joss.
'wait….,' Wade said, quieter and quieter.
'What have I done?' and he stood up and walked out of his office to stand in front of Joss and Wade.
'I never meant to hurt you, Joss,' Wade tried to get his feelings out, but he had started to sniffle.
'I was wrong, Joss; you are not stupid by any stretch of the imagination,' and by now he was crying.
'I was trying to say that your artwork was already copyrighted by someone else, and we'd be better off with a professional who knew the ways around the copyright laws rather than me: I'm no lawyer.
'Joss,' and Wade fell to his knees.
'Please forgive me, Joss. I can't live without you in my life, beside me.
'I was wrong,' and he broke down, crying even harder.
Wade faded into the ice-blue walls, and Joss stood there, stunned and silent.
'I couldn't tell you, Jocelyn, because you were too angry with me. When I wanted to, later, I was scared.'
'Scared?' Wade's statement shook Joss back into reality (whatever that is, she thought).
'Scared, Joss, like this,' and the ice-blue walls changed into Wade's bedroom.
Wade was reading a text message, and he was becoming more agitated by the second.
'…and I've found someone else, Wade; I hope we can still be friends, though. Love, Jocelyn Possible.
'SOMEONE ELSE?' he shouted.
'FRIENDS?' and Lucky swam as far away from Wade as he could.
His bedroom door opened, and Joss came walking in with a tall, blond-headed hunk of a guy with a smirk on his face.
'You see, Wade? This makes a much better picture than you and I, don't you agree?' and she smiled as her new guy kissed her forehead.
'This will be better for everyone, Wade.'
'Not for me,' Wade growled.
'Why, Joss? Why?'
'Wade, I'm tired of the looks at school, at the mall, whenever we go out, when we were on the plane coming back to Montana from Washington. I just can't take it, anymore.
'Don't you tell me you don't notice them, too?'
'Of course I notice them, Joss, but they are from people who haven't escaped the 19th century, yet.'
'I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel.
'If you can't handle the truth, Wade, then this is goodbye,' and she turned and walked out with her new boyfriend.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' and Wade fell to his knees, and the ice-blue walls closed in and took him.
Joss just stood there, stunned, again.
'Wade,' and she turned and looked at him.
Tears were running down both of their faces.
'Wade, do you honestly think I'm that shallow?'
'No, Joss, but I'm scared that I'm not good enough for you, and that you will leave me for someone that looks more like you when the pressure gets too tough,' Wade confessed thru his tears.
'Wade, I told you:
'I will never leave you.
'I'm not Stephanie, and I never will be, but I'll never leave you.
'The only way that I'll leave you is if you push me away, or if you tell me to leave.
'You're stuck with me, Wade Load, and I never want to leave.
'Do I need to call Dementor and get a Bond-O-Ball from him to prove how stuck I am on you?' and her idea broke his defenses, and Wade laughed and cried and pulled Joss to him, and they hugged.
He moved his head back from hers, and he smiled at her.
She smiled at him.
Their faces began to close on each other like homing missiles…
…and they Kissed, really for the first time, with no inhibitions.
And it lasted until…
'It's about time, Little Brother,' and Joss turned her head and saw a ghost.

(Wade, in Joss' body/head)
'Joss?'
'Hello, Wade. I've been expecting you,' and she smiled and held out her arms.
'Jocelyn,' he replied as he took the few steps between them, but stopped when he was an arms' length from her.
'Joss, are you still mad at me?'
Joss smiled. 'Of course not, silly; are you still mad at me?'
'More confused than mad, actually.'
Then, we'd better get that straightened out, first, Wade.'
'Where am I?'
Joss smiled even more.
'You're in my head, Wade.'
'Where are you?
'I'm in your head, Wade, and here, as well. Nice to know the supergenius doesn't get everything on the first try.
'I'm here to show you my mind, my thoughts, that which is most dear and special and frightening to me, Wade.'
'Like what, Joss?'
'Like how we started fighting yesterday, Wade,' and she waved her hand, and the ice-blue walls surrounding them changed, and they opened into Wade's office, and Wade was sitting at his desk.
Joss came in.
'Well, Wade?'
'If we get someone to draw up the artwork and lawyers to work with the Team Possible lawyers, I think we have a winner, Joss.
'Your artwork won't work, though,' Wade continued, but before he could finish, Joss exploded.
'My artwork is bad? I suppose you think the whole idea is bad, too, Wade!' she shouted.
'No, Joss, not everything, just the art. It's not good, it's al-' but she cut him off before he could finish.
'It's not good? NOT GOOD?
'Does that mean I'm not good enough for you, either, Wade?'
'No, Joss, that's not what I meant.'
'So, now you're changing your story?'
'NO!' and Wade yelled at her.
'If you'd stop being childish, Joss, I could tell you what the problem was.'
'SO, NOW I'M CHILDISH, HUH?'
'WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A THREE-YEAR-OLD WHO DOESN'T GET HER WAY ALL THE TIME, YES!'
They stared at each other, glared at each other, then Joss slammed her hand on the desk.
'FINE!' and she stormed out.
'FINE!' and Wade slammed his hand on the desk.
'STUPID GIRL!' he yelled as she slammed the door open and came back into the room.
'So, now I'm stupid, huh?'
'Well, if the shoe fits…' he replied, and she growled at him and stormed out of the room.
Joss stormed out and down the hall, and then she stopped and wrapped her arms around herself. Her face, so filled with anger, suddenly was overcome with realization.
'Joss, what in the tarnation hell did you just do?
'You just screamed at the only man besides your father to ever stand by you when you were hurting.
'He chose to do it.
'There was no reason for Wade to come here.
'There was no reason for Wade to stay after you yelled the first time, back in the summer.
'There's no reason for him to stay, now: not if you act like this.
'He loves you, Jocelyn: there must have been a reason that he said that he couldn't use your artwork.
'Why not get a professional, Joss?
'After all, you have Wade…
'Or, did you jus' throw him out the door?' and the realization of what she had done struck her, and she fell to the ground.
'Why should he stay?' and her eyes filled with tears.
'I love him, more than anything: how could I not have listened for a few minutes before I opened my chili-hole?'
'Will he leave me, after I acted like a spoiled brat? He has every right to walk away, and leave me in my own attitudes.'
She looked over and Wade and Joss, and stood, brushed herself off, and walked slowly over to stand and face Wade, tears streaming down her face.
'I'm sorry, Wade. I never meant to hurt you, to yell at you. My mouth went into gear before my brain.
'I was wrong, Wade, for not letting you tell me what was wrong.'
'I was trying to say,' Wade spoke to her calmly, even though his heart was breaking to see her cry, 'that your artwork was already copyrighted by someone else, and we'd be better off with a professional who knew the ways around the copyright laws rather than me: I'm no lawyer.
'Oh, Wade,' she grabbed him and hugged him fiercely.
'You have always been there for me, and I didn't pay attention, this time.'
'Wade, please forgive me. I can't live without you in my life, with me the whole way.
'I was so wrong,' and she broke down the rest of the way, and she pulled away from Wade and ran back into the hall, fading into the dark brown walls, and Wade stood there, stunned and silent.
'I couldn't tell you, Wade, because I was afraid
'Afraid?'
'Afraid, Wade,' and the dark brown walls changed into Joss' bedroom, and she was sitting tailor-style on her bed reading her PosComm.
Se was becoming more agitated by the second.
'…and I've found someone else, Joss; I hope we can still be friends, though. Love, Wade.
'SOMEONE ELSE?' she shouted.
'FRIENDS?'
A knock on her front door, and she ran down the stairs.
She opened the door, and Wade stood there with a beautiful African-American woman on his arm. She was one of those supermodels that Joss had seen on television, and she had the 'cat-ate-the-canary' look on her face.
'You see, Joss? This makes a much better picture than you and I, don't you agree?' and he smiled as his new lady kissed him on the cheek.
'This will be better for everyone, Joss.'
'Not for me, Wade,' and Joss growled and reached for her whip.
'Why, Wade? Why?'
'Joss, I know you're as tired as me of the looks in the Bunker, at the mall, whenever we go out, when we were on the plane coming back to Montana from Washington. I just couldn't take it, anymore.
'Besides, if this arrangement doesn't work out, I have backup,' and the limo doors opened, and Kim and Stephanie came out and walked over to Wade, each wrapping their arms around his waist.
'Serious face, Wade,' and Joss pointed.
'I'm not giving you up this easily,' and Joss cracked her whip once, and the lady on Wade's arm and the ones wrapped around his waist all laughed at her.
'I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel, Joss.
'If you can't handle the truth, then this is goodbye,' and he turned and walked back to the limo with his new entourage.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' and Joss fell to her knees, and the dark brown walls closed in and took her.
Wade just stood there, silent.
'Joss, I'm not that shallow, and I'm definitely not that kinky or talented,' and they turned and looked at each other.
Tears were running down both of their faces.
'I know, Wade, but it would be so much easier for you, and you've been through so much pain, that I worry. I worry that I'm not worthy of your love, and that you will leave me for someone that looks more like you when the pressure gets too tough,' Joss confessed thru his tears.
'Besides, I know I'm not your first or favorite redhead, and I feel like snake muffins so much of the time.'
Wade took her hands and kissed them both.
'Andrea Jocelyn Possible:
'I will never leave you.
'The only way that I'll leave you is if you push me away, or if you tell me to leave.
'You're stuck with me, AJ, and I never want to leave.
'Do I need to tie you to my mast of my ship to make you understand?' and his comment processed in her head, and she smiled, then started to giggle, and then broke out into a full-fledged laugh fest.
Wade looked confused for a moment, and then re-processed the statement in his head-
'NOT THAT MAST, AJ!' but he had broken down her defenses now, and Joss laughed and cried and pulled Wade to her, and they hugged.
She moved her head back from his, and she smiled at him.
He smiled at her.
'Spankin' line, Wade,' she smirked, and they both giggled, again.
'All three of them?' she asked, and Wade just grinned.
'Only in my dreams, my forever, but no longer,' was his reply
And then, their faces tilted just a bit, and they began to close on each other like homing pigeons…
…and they Kissed, really for the first time, with no inhibitions.
And it lasted until…
'It's about time, Andrea,' and Wade turned his head and saw a ghost in uniform.

(RnK)
'And, that's not all,' and the wall faded into the room in Slim's ranch, and Ron gasped as he saw Kim standing in her room, but not just standing:
She was standing in the 'altogether.'
Ron slammed his eyes together.
Don't look, Ethyl! Was the first thing that ran thru his mind, but it was too late: he'd had his free shot.
'KIM!'
"You're NAKED!' and the Kim standing in the ranch house turned and looked at Ron, and somehow Ron knew that her smile had disappeared and was replaces by the saddest look he'd ever not seen.
'I knew it!' she cried out.
'You hate the way I look! You think I'm ugly!' and both Kims began to cry.
'NO, Kim! I love the way you look…seriously.'
'Then, why did you close your eyes, Ron?' both Kims stopped crying for a moment, and Ranch Kim asked the question.
"I know you've seen me before; you've touched me before when you were in my body.
'I knew it: you really do think I'm ugly,' and she started to cry, again.
'Kim: serious face,' and Ron opened his eyes and beheld the wonder that was his fiancée in the way he had dreamed of seeing her, so many times.
'Kim, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever known or seen. Why you would be with me, I'll never know, but I count my blessings every day that I get to spend with you.
'I never want to be without you a single day of my life, and I'll do everything in my power to make you as proud to be with me as I am to be with you,' and Ron held out his arms, and Ranch Kim walked, barefoot, over to Ron, and she hugged him.
'oh, man…
'Why is this a dream?
'Why can't I have this in real life?
'Oh, yeah: Mr.Dr.P and his black hole probes….'
'You like that, Ron?' Ranch Kim looked up at him, and he realized that he was taller than her.
Must be the bare feet, he thought.
He smiled, and kissed her nose, then her forehead, then her lips, and he took her into his arms, again.
'I love you, Kimberly Ann Possible, all of you,' Ron stated firmly when he let go of her, and then he grinned, 'even that little, tiny, mole under your right-'
"RON!' and both Kims shouted, then smiled.
'You really like how we look?' and they both struck a pose, and Ron's jaw almost dropped below the ground.
'We'll take that as a yes,' the Kims replied, and the clothed Kim came over. Both Kims reached up and each kissed a cheek.
'Thank you, Ron,' they both said, and Ranch Kim stepped back into the room, then turned and came back, now wearing the two-piece swimsuit.
'Kim, why would you ever think you're ugly?'
'Ron, you've seen Bonnie, Tara, Zita, Monique, and the other girls on the cheer squad at school.
'I don't hold a candle, up there. to them,' and she looked down, feeling ashamed.
'Believe me, Kim: they don't deserve to carry your trash, you are so beautiful.
'Why, thank you, Ron,' and RanchKim smoothed the swimsuit over her body.
'Why do you thing that there's a drool spool going whenever I'm around you?
'It's the rest of the guys, jellin' over the Ron-man,' he grinned.
'Just don't start singing that song, again, alright?' and she kissed him.
'oh, man…Not even one chorus of the 'Ron-man'?'
'RON!' she growled.
'Now, there's the Kimila I know and love,' he laughed and took her into his arms.
Then, she was wearing the swimsuit, as well, and RanchKim and Kim both worked their way into Ron's arms.
'Twice the fun: twin Kims,' and they both kissed him, and they pushed him to the ground.

'Cheerleader saved you, huh?' Kim grinned, and the chocolate brown walls changed into the men's changing room at MHS.
Ron walked in, and Ron knew that this was back when he and Kim had switched bodies.
'So, this is the boy's locker room,' KimRon looked around and grimaced.
'Boring…but I've gotta change for cheer practice.
'Here goes, and KimRon kicked off her/his shoes and pulled off the shirt, showing the lightly-haired chest.
'Now, the pants,' and she/he pulled off the pants, and she/he stood in her/his underwear and looked down.
'OHMYGOD!'
'RON!' and she/he grinned.
'This is no little Ronnie,' she/he thought, and the door swung open as the football team came in from practice.
Brick Flagg walked in and stopped.
'Whoa, Ron, what the hell is that?
'That can't all be you, guy.'
'All mine, Brick, and you ain't touching it,' and several team members behind Brick laughed.
'I'm saving it for BonBon and Kimila: there's enough for two,' she/he smirked, and the entire team laughed at Brick.
Brick growled and lunged at Kim/Ron, and she/he timed the jump perfectly to allow Brick to slam his head into the locker behind and fall, unconscious, onto the bench.
'Next?' KimRon asked, and the rest of the team headed for the shower, leaving Brick lying across the bench and KimRon standing over him.
She/he thought about it, and grinned.
'Nah! Too easy,' and she/he pulled Brick's football pants down and left him bent over the bench with his pants at his feet and a soaking-wet towel tucked into the back of his underwear, and then she/he looked up.
'So? What'ya think?' She/he walked over to Ron, who was trying hard not to laugh.
'Well, that explains why Brick left me alone for the rest of the year.
'But, the…the…' and he couldn't bring himself to say it.
'Package?' Kim/Ron replied, and both Kim/Ron and Kim grinned.
'Spankin' package, Ron,' Kim added, and she smiled as she stared at Kim/Ron, standing there in her/his underwear.
'Kim! Don't say spankin!'
'So, spill, Ron: the whole proposal thing: how'd you pull that off?
'And, I've gotta see the rock, Kim, and they all sat on the floor and talked and ooh'ed over the engagement ring.

(Joss, in Wade's body/head)
'Hey, Joss,' the red-headed girl walked up to Joss and stuck out her hand; she was a bit taller than Joss and bigger up top, but her smile was so big that Joss immediately liked her, and then Joss realized who was standing in front of her.
'I'm Stephanie Watership. Glad to finally meet you.'
'Ste…?'
'It's pretty easy to say, Jocelyn:
'Ste-pha-nie. Ste-pha-nie. I know you can do it; heck, you're way smarter than me,' she grinned.
Joss liked her grin.
'A handshake just won't do, Stephanie,' Joss held out her arms, and Stephanie stepped into them, and they hugged each other.
Now I know why he likes Stephanie hugs: she puts her whole self into the effort, Joss thought.
'I can't believe it's you,' the ladies said at the same time.
'Jinx! You both owe me a soda,' Wade replied, and they two redheads broke their hug and turned to look at Wade.
'Stephanie,' Wade said simply, and she stepped over and hugged Wade fiercely.
Joss wasn't jealous at the least as she watched Wade melt in Stephanie's arms.
'I'm sorry, little brother, I'm so very sorry,' Stephanie said into Wade's shoulder, and then she giggled as she backed away, looking Wade over.
'Wow, not-so-Little-Brother: You got tall on me,' Stephanie smirked.
'Happens, Steph: it's been over four years,' Wade smiled as he answered.
'Don't I know it!'
'Stephanie?'
'Yes, Jocelyn?'
'Joss.'
'Joss,' and Stephanie smiled.
'How are you here?'
'It's Wade's head, Joss; in my case, he's never let me out before; I think it's your fault, but that's not important,' Stephanie grinned, and Joss giggled.
She was beginning to understand Wade's feelings for Stephanie.
'You're the first person to break thru his demons, Joss, and now you're 'on the inside,' as it were,' Stephanie continued as if she were teaching a class. 'By being in here, now, you let me out.
'I'll go back into his subconscious whenever you leave, but I just had to meet the redhead who's won his heart for real.
'You're beautiful, Joss: I hope he's smart enough to have told you, on more than one occasion,' and Joss nodded.
'Good. I wished I could stick around, Joss, but it wasn't meant to be. You understand, don't you?'
'He told us the story, Steph, and Donna read the diary sections that you flagged.
'What happened to your 'little brothers and sisters,' Steph?
'I don't know,' and for the first time Joss saw sadness in Stephanie's eyes. 'I had hoped that Wade could tell me.'
'They're all fine, Steph; they're in different places, and two of them have even been adopted.'
'ADOPTED?' she grinned and giggled worse than me.
She clapped her hands in pure excitement.
'Steph?' Wade took her hand, and sadness had taken over his face.
'I knew, Wade, but I couldn't chance you and your family being attacked by them,' and Wade's look softened.
'What?' Joss asked.
'Ryan and Rachel Load had planned to surprise the two of us by telling us that they had started the paperwork to adopt me, officially, but they wanted it to be a surprise.
'They were going to tell us on Valentine's Day: the day after I died,' and Joss' heart sank.
She really was going to have been Wade's Big Sister.
'Wade never told me.'
'Wade's consciousness doesn't know, or understand completely: he learned about it by accident a few weeks after I died, and he's been blocking it ever since.
'You are so lucky, Jocelyn: Rachel and Ryan will be great in-laws; if I had been a bit younger, I would have given you a run for your money.
'I really loved Wade, and I wanted him to be happy; I knew that what I did would hurt him, but I had no idea that it would take this long for him to recover,' and she turned and looked into Wade's moist eyes.
'Wade, can you ever forgive me?'
'Steph, I forgave you after I learned what happened to you.
'I will avenge your death, Stephanie, you have my word on it,' and Wade's look was harder than anything that Joss had ever seen on him.
'No, Wade, let it be,' Stephanie told him, and Wade shook his head 'no.'
'I can't do that, Stephanie.
'Drugs took you away from me, and drugs took Joss' mom from her.
'I can't sit idly by, anymore, just as I can't sit idly by while all of your little brothers and sister are mistreated.
'I have the money to help some, and we're already working with Montana DCI to bolster their programs.
'Betty has even helped us by providing equipment for the Bunker.'
'Dr. Elizabeth Director, Global Justice Head?' now, Stephanie was surprised.
'Same one, Steph; in fact, Joss has more news and information on her,' and Joss had been beaming ever since Wade mentioned Betty's name.
'She's going to be my mother, Stephanie,' Joss announced, and Stephanie fell into her, laughing and crying and hugging her.
'HEY! Don't hog all the hugs,' and the two ladies pulled Wade into their hug.
'Stephanie hugs….mmmmm….' came from Wade, and both Stephanie and Joss giggled.
'Did he do this all the time, Steph?' Joss whispered to her
'Only after a few months; I figured it was puberty coming on strong, because he always wanted real tight frontal hugs. No side hugs for my Wade,' she answered in the same whisper.
'Of course, he's your Wade, now.'
'He's gotten worse about trying to peek down my blouse, Steph,' Joss confessed.
'So, what have you done about it?' She asked wickedly.
'Left a few buttons strategically unbuttoned, of course,' Joss confessed, and Stephanie laughed.
'HEY!' Wade pouted, and Joss kissed his nose.
'Ok, spill,' and Stephanie took a tailor position on the floor, joined by Joss and Wade.
'So, when is the wedding planned for, and when am I going to become Aunt Stephanie?' she grinned as both Joss and Wade blushed, and the three of them began to talk.

(WnJ)
'Hello, daughter,' and Joss jerked and turned her head and grew a huge smile on her face.
'Hello, future son-in-law. I'm Sheri Nicole Possible. I'm very pleased to finally meet you, Dr. Load,' the uniformed woman walked towards Wade, but she was hijacked in mid-stride by a red-headed missile slamming into her
'MOMMA!' Joss cried and hugged and shook.
Sheri Nicole hugged her and kissed the top of her head.
'You've grown since you visited me, and only in a few months, Andrea.'
'Well: do I get an introduction, or not?' and she put her hands on her hips and grinned.
'D'OI!' Joss slapped her forehead, ran and got Wade, and pulled him forward.
'Momma, this is Dr. Wade Load, my friend, my only, and my semi-official fiancé. Wade, this is my mother, Sheri Nicole Possible.
'A pleasure, Dr. Load,' and she stuck out her hand.
Wade took her proffered hand and kissed it.
'Madam, the pleasure is indeed all mine,' Wade replied, and then smiled.
'If this is what Jocelyn will look like when she's older, I am very truly blessed,' and Joss and Sheri Nicole both giggled.
'He's almost as smooth as your father, Andrea,' and her face fell into deep sadness.
'Daughter, I'm sorry you hurt for so long. I only wanted them to not hurt you, but I had no idea that they'd leave me there with you for the whole time after I died,' and both ladies teared up, and they hugged each other, flushing years of tears away.
'Momma?'
'Yes, Andrea?'
'Thank you for the backpack you bought for me in London.'
'You're more than welcome, Sweet Tea,' and Wade grinned.
'MOMMA! So, it was you who started that!'
'Guilty as charged, Sweet Tea.
'You liked it so much when we were in London, it's the only thing you would say, constantly, so it kinda stuck,' Sheri Nicole explained, and Wade finally understood.
'I would have thought it was from her grandfather,' Wade commented.
''This time, Dr. Load, you are not correct,'' Sheri Nicole replied, and she and her daughter both laughed loud and long.
'I have been impressed with your work, Dr. Load.'
'Wade, please, Mrs. Possible.'
'Only if it's Sheri Nicole, or Momma, Wade,' she smiled.
'I'll hold on the Momma until we're married, Sheri Nicole, if that's all right with you,' he replied.
'Team Possible has done amazing work, and what you have done considering all you've been thru is nothing short of amazing.
'You haven't made a battlesuit for my Andrea, yet, have you?' she grinned, and Wade gulp'ed.
'No worried, Wade; in fact, I will consider it an honor when you do.
'After you're officially engaged, of course, or if you get someone else to take the measurements,' she smirked, and Wade knew that she knew.
Joss just grinned.
'Momma, do you know about Daddy?
'Of course, Sweet Tea: I've been trying to get thru to your father for years, but he's a slow as a rock chasing a rabbit, sometimes.
'I think that Betty will be perfect for him, and I like your Momma2 name,' and Joss smiled even bigger as her dreams came true.
'She wasn't much swifter than your father, either.
'By the way: nice touch with the music, Wade: I almost busted a gut when you started up 'All I Want for Christmas.'
'So, you two, tell me,' and she took the tailor position on the floor.
'What are the plans?
'Marriage?' and Wade and Joss took each other's hands and smiled
'Kids? And they both looked shocked, and then grinned and began to talk.
-----
All of the conversations, discussions, and laughter ended suddenly when a voice spoke.
'Merger will terminate in one minute.'
'Kims, it's been more wonderful than you can imagine,' was Ron's response, and they both kissed him on the cheeks, and RanchKim went back to the room. The room faded into the green walls, leaving Kim and Ron standing there.
'Rons, this has been my dream come true,' and KimRon and Ron both kissed Kim on the cheeks. KimRon waved goodbye and went back to the locker room, and it faded into the chocolate-brown walls, leaving Ron and Kim standing there.
'Stephanie, you are my big sister, too,' Joss said as they stood. 'Thanks for being there for Wade,' and Stephanie kissed Joss on the cheek, rubbed the top of Wade's head, and walked back into the ice-blue walls, leaving Joss and Wade standing there.
'Sheri Nicole, it has been a pleasure,' Wade kissed her hand, and she grabbed both Joss and Wade and hugged them fiercely.
'Be good to each other,' and she kissed Joss on the cheek as she turned and walked into the dark brown walls, leaving Wade and Joss standing there.
'Bye, Momma,' came from both of their mouths.
'Jinx! You owe me a soda!' came from both of them at the same time.
'You have learned what love means.
'Now you will learn friendship,' and Ron, Kim, Joss, and Wade all fell to the floor, unconscious, as the walls all dissolved.
-----
'Welcome, Wade.'
'Ron?'
'You are in my head, Wade.'
'Welcome, Joss.'
"Kim?'
'You are in my head, Joss.'
'Welcome, Ron.'
'Wade?'
'You are in my head, Ron.'
'Welcome, Kim.'
"Joss?'
'You are in my head, Kim.'
And there was a chorus of
'oh, man…'
