Ron hugged her tightly. The warmth of his body sent her everything she needed: comfort, trust, empathy, solidarity, and most important thing, forgiveness. Kim hugged him back, a bit because she was scared it was only a mirage from which she did not want to escape. She felt the hand of the boy that she's never been prouder to call her boyfriend caress her hair and wishper into her ear: "Never forget about today. Treasure all of this, like I'll always remember the tears you let go and I'll do everything in order to not make them come back." You'd go against the world, if it meant to help me. "I swear, Kim, if I have to throw myself down to the border of the Earth, this day will never show again." Kim waited a bit before answering. "Earth is not flat, Ron." "Everything is possible, when it involves the Possibles." They could not help but laugh. Finally they looked in their eyes. Damn, you're such a beautiful girl...the two lovers finally kissed, caressed, cuddled, remembered how much they loved each other and how many unexpected problems tried and failed to separate them. This one just went nearer than the others, but with the same result.
"Hey. For real cartoons are more interesting than me?" She joked playing offended. "Bof...these programs about saving the world...watched one, watched all!" He replied switching on the tv. "Oh, look what it is, a comical program!" The 'comical program' involved was an important news channel, of the ones that broadcast 24/7. And they were broadcasting the news of that morning. "Choc news today: Kim Possible reveals to have been secretly in a relationship..." *click* "Unknown the identity of the crush of the famous heroine..." *click* "...in order to hide he used many false names..." "Surely these parody tv news are more and more similar to the real ones!" Kim did not hold back a laughter of the at the joke of the mix of kindness and affection on whose shoulder she leant so comfortably. "But you tell me, since you're a girl and you understand better than me: if you were Kim Possible, what kind of boyfriend you would want?" Kim thought about it for a moment and then answered: "Well, if I were Kim Possible, I would not settle for any boy that would not be less than perfect: he should be tall, pretty, muscular, athletic, with charm and a great fashion sense…" "A-ha..." "...he should also be brave, capable of helping me in every topic I need, he should always be near me when I cry, comfort me when I'm sad, make me laugh when I'm bored…" "Good, good..." "And he should also manage to understand when I have something wrong without me saying nothing, and be playful, but also sweet, firm but also sensible..." "Uao. And maybe he should also do house chores without complaining." "It would be a good bonus, yeah. Sure..if I would be Kim Possible, life with someone like this would be a great boredom! First, perfection is tiring, second, where you find someone like this, he doesn't exist!" "That's also true. Yeah, if you were Kim Possible...by the way, what's your name?" Ron was only trying to make one last joke, but Kim started kissing his lips with the rhythm of her words. "Kimberly..." *pciù* "...Anne..." *pciù* "...Stoppable!" Ron felt his heart fall. "Kim...does this means that..." "let's see how many will have the nerve to forget our name, now!" "How I love you, Red." "Not as much as I love you, Freckles!" To hell with the broken leg, that was time of a serious display of affection.
Truth be told, Kim was planning of changing name since quite a lot: with all the new criminals and a perspective of job keeping them at bay, she wanted that at least in the private she could take the distance from mission world and coming back to be the ordinary simple girls she liked to be. Of course, they would have expected the wedding in order to do it. If it depended on the two of them, they would have gotten married the moment they both became adults, but Mr. And Mrs. Stoppable found it a bad idea, they said that they haven't the ways to carry on a married life, and in the end they convinced to wait to finish the university. This had the unexpected effect of making their son apply to the studies, to not uselessly delay the big event. For Kim it was a surprise to discover that Ron agreed with the refusal of Global Justice, and most of all that he did not care: he said that without their rules he would be freer, he just wanted to not interfere with their missions. This convinced Kim that she could join them as long as this condition was satisfied.
If someone told her that Ron Stoppable would have made her go through hell more than any other villain, she would have considered it madness. Yet, here she was. And she would have not wanted to be anyhwere else. Not after passing through it, and having come to this paradise.
If by paradise you could mean a new bad guy who planned to conquer the world without another of the usual recycled ideas, the chewing gum cannon… "Soon all cities in the world will be buried by chewing gum, and..." "And everyone will bow to you, blablabla, yeah, I know: anything else?" replied the superheroine defeating the seventh henchman without breaking a sweat. "Unrespectful girl, let's see if you like some chewing gum in your hair!" The guy (she did not even want to know what was his name) flickered with the controller and pointed the six meters cannon towards her, pushed the button...and nothing happened! Kim finished the opponents in that moment, a grin on her mouth. "Problems?" "Nonono, just a second, don't move from there..." *clickclickclickclick* ...nothing. The cannon did not cooperate. "Eeh, this happens when you use old ideas..." This was not Kim Possible's voice: the new dominator wannabe turned towards the unknown guestand saw a blonde boy wearing completely black with a blue sword in his hand putting out a chewing gum from his mout and...sticking it on his forehead? Who was this insolen… "If they did not work once..." The intruder's foot met the nose of the prized world conquerors' industry freshman, which was enough to put him to sleep. "...there is a reason!"
Once they came out of the lab that was occupied by the villain, the jounalists submerged her as usual. But this time she was ready. "Kim, how did you manage to stop the villain today?" "It's simple, it wasn't me!" "Have you stopped him like the Apocalyptic Sticker or...what do you mean it wasn't you?!" "Eh no, this time I limited to distract him and take care of his heavy workers, minor tasks." She had a serene and calm visage, and they did not understand how she could put her in such a bad light. "But hen who it wa..." "The tuna is in the box Kim! I just left him to the police." said Ron running towards her, who stamped a fast kiss on his lips. "Here's who: Ron Stoppable, my eternal partner, in job and in life: he disengaged the machine, defeated the mad guy and saved the lab and therefore the world, so if you have questions on the victory, make them to him." Kim went to the car, but Ron reached her less than a minute after. "Unbelievable KP, it's the third time you show me to the cameras, and no still no one wants to interview me, they all bolt to the offices for their article about 'Kim Possible's new partner'!" "New partner? Why haven't you told me there is a third member of the squad?" "Mah...maybe Sensei is keeping them away from me purposely, so I stay an anonymus ninja." They continued the conversation while they took seat. "What an old prankster...ah, in the and did dad give you the ok to come with me on the ISS?" "Sure! He said this way I will finally be able to see black holes up close..." "Ge'll never change..." "And he doesn't want to miss my face when I'll have to eat the Naco in pills." "I'll bring the photo camera then!"
Kim started the engine and and went home. "Tell the truth...you're happy because you miss the exam, right?" "You did say so, didn't you? Some thing don't change, KP: some things don't change!" he answered with a smile.
Always the same lazy glutton with an excess of good mood that feels the pathological need to share with the world and the vice to damn his soul to make his beloved happy: that's what was Ron Stoppable.
This is who is her Ron.
