Chapter 2

Kim kept staring at Ron in complete awe, he turned around and finally noticed her.

He scratched his head in utter confusion looking extremely cute in Kim's eyes. "Um KP why you so big?" he asked. His voice sounding just like a mall child's voice, speaking as best as he could for a five year old.

Kim turned her Kimmunicator watch on to see Wade on the screen. "Wade we got a major sitch here"

"What's up Kim, were you able to catch Drakken and Shego?" he asked.

"So not, they both got away but that's the least of our worries, Shego was shooting a laser gun at me but it hit Ron instead, and we'll look!"

Wade nearly fell out of his chair as he saw Ron in kid form. He did a quick scan over Ron to which he didn't even feel and did some quick typing.

"What did you find?" Kim asked.

"This is weird Kim, it looks like he has most of his memories still in tack but he also has the mind of a simple 5 year old" he explained.

Kim started to hear some sniffing and glanced at Ron she could see he was getting upset and about to cry, she cursed at herself for ignoring him for so long. She walked over to the frighten to child to bring her in her arms but to her surprised he backed away.

"Ron?" she asked confused.

He clutched his head with his tiny hands. "I don't know what's going on, evereweething is so confusing" His voice was trembling and his little form was shaking, it broke Kim's heart to see her boyfriend like this.

"Ron don't worry I promise everything is going to be ok, we'll find a way to get you back to normal" Kim vowed.

Kim sighed that he still would come close to her, why was he acting scared of her? Wade said he had most of his teenage memories in him.

"Wade will you be able to turn Ron back to normal?" she asked.

"Let me scan the machine" said Wade.

Kim stood up and aimed her watch at the laser gun.

"Sorry Kim the machine is fried, it's going to take at least 2 weeks or so to fix it right" Wade answered.

Rufus climbed up to Kim's shoulder. "Uh, sorry" he mutter head down in shame.

Kim sighed and petted the naked mole rat. "It's all right Rufus I know you did it to keep Shego from hurting Ron again we didn't realize he had been changed into a child then"

"Kim I'll have someone come pick the machine up and bring it to my place, meanwhile your ride will be hear in a few minutes to bring you guys back to Middleton"

"Thanks Wade, keep me posted on the machine"

Kim walked over back to Ron again kneeling to his level. "Listen Ron I know your scared and confused but it's me Kim, you know you can trust me right?" she asked gently.

Ron looked up at Kim; he still couldn't understand what was happening but his heart was telling him to trust Kim. He knew Kim would never hurt him, at that moment all of his memories since he met Kim finally came flooding back at him. He grabbed his head screaming in pain the memories were rushing back so quickly it hurt him.

"Ron!" Kim shouted with worry. She quickly brought the crying child into arms. "Ron what's wrong? What's hurting?" she asked quickly in mission mode. She couldn't believe this was happening, her boyfriend was not only a child but also in pain and she couldn't even help him!

After a few seconds to which felt like eternity to Kim, Ron finally stopped screaming and crying. He looked up at Kim with the most innocent eyes ever. "I wemember everweething" (Remember he is five so his speech isn't going to be perfect)

"But why did you have to feel pain to remember?" Kim asked.

"I don't know, but I wemember I'm not really 5, I'm 17. You and me are dating now, but Drakken's scary machine changed me into a kid again. Ug KP this is so sick and wrong!" Ron cried.

Kim sighed in relief at least she was starting to see some of the old Ron in this cute little child. She stood up with Ron in her arms. "Don't worry Ron, Wade said he would be able to fix the machine in about 2 weeks or so, you'll be back to normal before you know it"

Ron's eyes went wide. "Two weeks!" he cried.

Kim nodded. "I know it's going to be hard to deal with Ron, but you won't be alone ok" Kim promised. At that moment Rufus jumped onto his owner's tiny shoulder.

"Whoa Rufus you look pretty big now" he said.

Kim smiled and walked out of the layer for once with it not blowing up in their faces which was rather nice. On the way home Ron had fallen asleep in Kim's arms, she couldn't blame the poor kid to be so exhausted. When she saw Ron being shot by the laser and hearing his painful cry, it was like she was being stabbed in the heart. She had never heard such a cry from him in all the years she has known him, and then he had to feel pain again just to remember everything. She vowed at that moment the next time she saw Drakken and Shego she was going to use her full strength on them for making her boyfriend suffer! By the time Kim and Ron made it home it was nearly dinner time, Kim was glad she was able to make it home in time to spend time with the family. But she wasn't sure how she was going to explain this sitch to her parents, or Ron's parent's for that matter.

Kim thanked her ride than headed inside her home with the still sleeping Ron in her arms. When Kim walked into the kitchen her father looked up at his daughter holding a small child that looked like Ron, only one thought ran through his mind.

"Kimberly Ann Possible what is the meaning of this!" her father asked shocked. At that moment Mrs. Possible walked into the kitchen to see what her husband was yelling at, that's when she noticed a small looking version of Ron, she stared at her daughter in pure confusion.

Kim cheeks flared red. "Dad it's not what you think!" she quickly replied. She couldn't believe her father would suddenly come to that kind of conclusion!

"Why don't you try explaining to us what's going on Kimmie" her mom suggested.

Kim was more than grateful that her mother didn't suddenly freak out like her dad, she loved her dad to bits but sometimes he could quickly jump to sudden conclusions. Kim felt Ron snuggle closer to her and she couldn't help but smile.

"Kimmie-cub" said James.

Kim looked at her parents and put her serious face on. "Ron and I were on a mission to stop Drakken and Shego like usual and Shego was trying to shoot me with some unknown laser but Ron was accidently hit and turned into a child again. Wade is having someone deliver the machine to his home so he could work on it. Rufus had chewed up all the wires in order to prevent Shego or Drakken from being able to use it again on us, but Wade said it's going to be at least 2 weeks or so before he can have it fully fixed" Kim explained.

"Have you called Ron's parents yet?" Mrs. Possible asked.

Kim sighed rubbing her temples with her left hand, still holding Ron carefully in her right arm. "Not yet, I was going to after explaining the sitch to you guys" Kim answered.

Mrs. Possible nodded and went to bring the phone to her. "Is Ron going to be staying here then tonight?" she asked.

Kim shrugged. "I hadn't really thought about it much, I guess he could if he wanted to"

"Good, then he can sleep in the twin's room, there at a sleep over tonight anyway" said Mr. Possible

Kim rolled her eyes at her father, she would much prefer to have him sleeping with her so she could keep an on him, she knew Ron was going through a hard time with all of this, and he probably wasn't going to like the idea of being alone. Mrs. Possible held her arms out offering to take Ron so that Kim could call his parents. She almost didn't want to give the child up. Kim was feeling extremely protective of her boyfriend now more than ever since he's been turned into a helpless child, but she knew her mother would never do anything to hurt Ron. She gently gave Ron to her mom and went into the living room to call Ron's parents.

They were more than surprised to hear that their Ron had been turned into a child again. They said it would be fine for Ron to stay with her tonight, knowing their son was going to need Kim more than anyone at the moment. Kim had promise his parents that she would definitely get Ron back to normal and they trusted Kim because she has never once let them down when it came to Ron's safety. It was why they trusted her so much to let Ron go on those crazy missions with her in the first place. Kim thanked Ron's parents for their understanding and bid them a good night.

When Kim had gotten off the phone she heard crying from the kitchen. She quickly ran to see Ron crying and struggling in her mother's arms. She went up to Ron and her mother. "Mom's what happened?" Kim asked.

"I don't know he suddenly woke up and just started crying" Mrs. Possible quickly explained.

Kim took Ron and brought him into arms patting his back trying sooth the sudden frighten Ron. "Ron it's ok I'm right here" Kim soothed. After a few moments Kim pulled Ron back to look at him.

"I sorry KP, I woke up and didn't recognize your mommy, my memories keep messing with me. I woke up and saw you gone, I got scared" he said shamefully. He truly felt like a helpless child, unable to understand anything that's going on around him, not always remembering every little detail like he use to. He hated feeling like a cry baby; he was the worst boyfriend ever!

Kim gave Ron a small smile. "It's no big Ron, I'm guessing because you were changed into a child your emotions and memories are pretty confused right now and you might not be able to fully control them for a while"

He sighed. "This is just too weird"

"How about we get you something to eat?" Kim suggested. She knew Ron could use any kind of distraction right now. Rufus came up to Kim's shoulder jumping up and down.

"Cheese!"

Kim chuckled. "You still remember Bueno Nacho don't you Ron?" Kim asked with a sly grin.

"Of course I do!" he cheered.

"Mom, dad do you mind if the two of us go out? I was looking forward to dinner time with the family but the tweebs aren't here anyway and Ron could really use some cheering up" Kim asked.

Her parents smiled. "Sure thing dear, just be back no later than 9, Ron is a child again so he needs to go to bed early"

"Awe come on" Ron moaned.

James chuckled. "Ok 9:30 and no later" Mrs. P changed.

"Thanks Mom, Dad, love you both" she said before giving them both a quick kiss on the cheek and grabbing her keys. Before stopping at the door she had a thought and walked back to the kitchen, Ron was standing on the floor now wondering what Kim was doing now.

"What is it Kimmie?" Mrs. Possible asked.

"Do we still have any old car seats that I can use? I know Ron is going to hate it but it is that law for a child his age and size to be in one" asked Kim.

"I think we should have one stored in the garage somewhere" James answered. He got up and Kim followed him to the garage, Ron also came to see what was going on.

"Umm KP I thought we were leaving?" he asked in his cute childlike voice.

While her father was looking through some old things in the garage Kim turned to face little Ron. "We are but I need something first, you're probably not going to like this, but unfortunately it is the law for a child your age and size" Kim explained.

Ron was extremely confused until James finally found what he was looking for, it was one of the twin's old car seats.

"No way you can't be serious KP!" Ron shouted.

"Sorry Ron, but I can't really explained to a cop that your really a 17 year old stuck in a child's body, they wouldn't buy it" Kim explained.

"But this isn't fair! I'm not a kid!"

"Umm Ron at the moment you kind of are, look I know this isn't fair but it's only going to be for a few weeks"

While Kim was trying to calm Ron down James went to the front drive way to put the car seat in the back seat of Kim's car.

"But I don't want to be treated like a child!"

"Ron we can't really do anything about it; and I'm not trying to treat you like a child. I just want to make sure that you're safe and protected" Kim explained.

He folded his arms grumbling some words. He understood Kim was trying to keep him safe but his emotions were making him uneasy, being seen as a child to the public eye was going to be bad enough but to have Kim suddenly treat him like one didn't make him feel any better not to mention Kim is suppose to be his girlfriend, how much of loser can he be having to sit in a baby car seat. Kim felt bad for Ron now and a little guilty for pulling this out on him just when she was starting to make him forget the situation he was in even for a little while, but she knew she had to do this. Although the chances of her ever being pulled over were very slim she knew she still wanted Ron to be fully protected.

"Ok Kim, it's ready" said her father.

"Thanks dad, let's go Ron it's already 7 and we need to be back by 9:30"

Ron grumbled again and followed Kim to the car with Rufus following little Ron. Kim had opened the door to the back seat and Ron glared at the car seat with as much hate as any little 5 year old could. Kim sighed and gently lifted Ron placing him the old car seat and buckling him up safely, Rufus sat in Ron's lap. Kim closed the door once she had Ron settled and went to the driving seat. Most of the ride was quiet as Kim was trying to think of way to cheer Ron up.

"Listen Ron I'm sorry about the seat" said Kim not taking her eyes off the road.

This time Ron sighed. "It's ok KP, I'm sorry to. I can't control my emotions wight now. I feel like a weal loser and a pathetic cwy baby. I'm suppose to be your boyfriend but now I'm just a helpless child that can't do nothing" said Ron shamefully. (Awe poor little Ron!)

Kim's heart literally broke for Ron. "Ron you are not a loser; or a pathetic cry baby. This whole sitch isn't your fault, it's Drakken and Shego's. But child or not you're still my boyfriend and I'm going to help you through this just like I have in the past. You and I are a team and we stick together no matter what!" Kim replied with seriousness. She meant every word and she wanted Ron to believe that she wasn't going to be leaving him any time soon just because he was suddenly turned into a child.

Ron listen to every word Kim had said and he could tell that she was dead serious about not leaving him, it made his heart swell up with joy. He couldn't understand what he did in his life to deserve such an amazing girlfriend but he was truly grateful that Kim was always there for him through thick and in thin since they were kids. And now when he needed her the most she was proving to him that she was still there for him and always would be, he smiled as more memories of their life came flashing through his mind. This time he felt no pain just sheer happiness of all the good times together, of all the times Kim had kept cheering him on even when people didn't believe in him, she always did.

"Thanks KP, I feel better" he said.

Kim smiled as she pulled into the parking lot of Bueno Nacho. "Good now let's get some food, little boy"

"KP!" he whined.

Kim chuckled. "Hush you're my little boy" she grinned.
