Lt. Ron Stoppable rested his head up aginst the trunk of the tree he had been using for shade. While his body maybe in Korea his mind was in Middleton. All he could think about was Kim. Did she miss him as much as he missed her? Would she wait for him? Did she love him? He exhaled deeply at the last thought. how could she? She was the most popular girl in school and a cheerleader to boot. How could she fall in love with a goof-up like him. The main reason he had signed up for the military was to show KP that he was brave. He never actually expected to be shipped out but here he was. Now he had bigger things to worry about then just wither or not Kim loved him. He had to worry about how to keep him and his men alive.
Kim stepped out of the jeep and streched her ares over her head until she heard a small crack. Satisfied she returned her arms to her side and strated to remove her belongings form the Jeep. Just as she was started a young man walked up to her and saulted.
"Ms. Possible?"
"Thats me" Kim replied returning the guesture
"Come with me. We need to see the CO."
The man, a corpral Kim discovered form his bars, quickly grabbed Kims stuff form the jeep and placed it on the ground. He made a gesture to the driver telling him he was dismissed, turned and head towrds a small clump of trees. Kim, not really sure whats going on, quickly grabbed her stuff and followed the man. He led her up a hill to a lone tree that overlooked a large medow, which was no doubt a mine field. Kim looked around the hill top for some old man who thought he was better then his men, but all she saw was a young man using ther tree as a back rest. The man seemed to be calm in this hell hole. Kim couldn't place it but she felt like she knew this man.
"Lt?" The copral asked as he approched. " The "packege" has arrived"
The young man nodded and rose to his feet. He streched to get the kinks out and turned to face the corpal and greet the new comer. His jaw hit the ground.
There,before his eyes stood the most beautiful creature on the planet. Kim. She was dressed in army fatigues, which looked fabulous on her, and her hair fell gracefully on her shoulders.
"Kim?" Ron questioned
Kim, after picking up her own jaw off the dirt, quickly ran and enveloped him in a bone crushing hug, tears where pouring out of her eyes and slidding down her cheerks. Ron returned the favor. The corpral and the rest of the men smiled at the display of affection. So there hard-ass Louie has a heart. Go figure. The pair slowly released the embrace, though reluctently.
"Kim what are you doing here?"
"Ron! O my god your alive. Your alive!" Kim stated sobbing
"Yeah Kim i'm alive. Why wouldn't I be?"
"A...a...a man came to my house an...and said that yo...you had..." Kim couldn't finish. It hurt too much to say. She was still n shock. the love of her life, Roanld Dean Stoppable, was alive. The tears seemed like they would never stop.
"It's ok Kim." Ron said soothingly "I'm here. I'm Alive"
After a nice cry session Kim finally calmed down enough to talk.
"Kim?...KP?" Ron questioned, lifting her schin to look her in the eyes. "Not to be rude but what are you doing here?"
"Huh? Oh! i'm here for the operation."
"You mean they asked YOU to help us. Those bastards! I'm gunna kill them!"
"Ron! RON!" Kim exclaimed "Calm down! i agreed to this!"
"What! Why?!"
"Because Ron. I...I thought you were dead and figured if i died here then i could be with you"
"Kim...That has to be one of the stupiest reasons to come into a combat zone i have ever heard! God Kim what where you thinking?"
"I'm...I'm sorry Ron" Kim stated as tears began to run down her cheeks.
Rons temperment changed immiditly. He realized that yelling at Kim was wrong. He should be yelling a her. He should be hugging her and telling her how much he loves and missed her while he was in this Hellhole. Ron reached around and pulled kim close whispering apologies in her ear. The Men of the 3rd division had never seen there C.O show so much compassion. Sure he cared for everyone of his men and would gladly take a bullet for them, but this was diffrent. The Lt was crying. Finally after a bit Kim calmed down enough to talk.
"Kim it's not that i'm not happy to see you, actually i'm thrilled,but this is a war zone and i don't want you to get hurt."
Kim gave him a weak smile and cocked one of her eyebrows.
"Me get her Lt. Stoppable? whos the one i had to save on all those missions?"
"Hey! thats not fair! you can bring up the past!" Ron complained
"I just did" Kim retorted "What are you going to do about it?" Then she leaned in, kissed him on the cheek, and ran down the hill again. Ron stood there frozen in spot for a moment before he ran down the hill after his red heaird friend. He was determined to get payback.
