The First

Today was not a good day for Ron. First his best friend started dating some new guy name Eric, who suddenly came out of nowhere. And since then she suddenly stopped hanging out with him, well not just stop but they were spending less and less time together each week. Until she gradually just stopped. They haven't said more than 30 words to each other in the pass month and a half. They don't even sit together at lunch any more much less after school. Every time he went over to her house she was either already gone with Eric or was to busy with some so called project she has to hand in and considering they have at least have their classes together he really doubted that. Every second of the day was spent with Eric well not every second but when not together he's all she talks about and its was pissing him(Ron) off. Eric wasn't the one who helped her on mission, he was. Eric wasn't there to pick up the pieces after all her breakups, he was. He wasn't there with her since pre-k or even her cheer leading auditions or anything for that matter. He just waltz it here with his cool bike and hair style and Kim just tumble over herself trying to get to him. Not to say she hasn't done that before but it was right at the moment Ron discovered his feelings for her and jealousy is a hard thing to deal with.

At first he thought it would be one of those 1-2 week type things. But after 5 and no decline in their relationship but a decline on his you could understand his worry. I mean a 10 year friendship washed down the drain over some boy after everything they have been through. And to top it all off with no mission to speak off for the past few weeks even seeing her became taxing in itself.

So here he was at Buenos nachos with his naked mole rat, eating away his sorrows. And with no Kim or missions to speak of he was left to reevaluate his life. And to be honest... he didn't like it, not one bit. All his life he spent with Kim and with her slowly fading away, he was left at lost. And thoughts filled his mind. What if their friendship never recovers, what if his grades remained as low as it was, then what. Its not like Kim had anything to worry about even with her spending so much time with Eric, her grades are great if not perfect, she would have no problem getting into a top notch college or university. And he could guess she would be going where ever Eric was considering how attached they were getting.

And where would that leave him, probably at some dead beet job earning minimum wage at some fastfood restaurant living in his parents basement. Noway there was no way in hell he was letting that happen. His parents were already almost never home and with all the money they were burning up from his naco funds. He didn't even loss it. Its was just some of the money being paid off to some loan shark his parents borrowed money from a few years ago to go on their away trips to god alone knows where leaving him with barely enough till they get back weeks later only to leave again a few days later. Not that he minded give them some money but they were seriously over doing, they quit their jobs and spend money like rain already 35 million of the 99 was spent. 4 million on the loan shark plus the interest they promised to get the money pushed it to 5million. I mean seriously how the hell were they gonna pay him back. And after getting that money he can safely say he abandoned his Jewish ways cause getting that money had to be a bloody miracle. There was no way someone just gets that type of money just like that and admittedly he took advantage of that to cause the next 7mill was spent by him in his little spending fiasco. But the rest. That 22 mill was currently being spent by his parents. What the hell were they buying.

But the rest was in a bank on ice, literally. No seriously he froze his bank card in a block of ice and put it on a old mini fridge in the basement. After make a call to the bank to limit spendings until further notice from Ron himself. Now the money won't go pass 60mill till told other wise and through wade was able to make sure his parents didn't touch it. And thus securing his future. But even with all that money it would be useless without a proper way to use it. And Ron did like helping people even if it almost always ended in failure. But the world isn't a fair place and the only way to make it through is to play it smart, and that was not something Ron Stoppable had.

But its something he can get, after all he was already in a learning institution, all he had to do was start listening. And he could get through this and with no Kim or missions to do, his free time just tripled, it was time to start taking up new hobbies.

TWO MONTHS LATER

And there it was, after two months of committing to that promise, that things starting changing. Grades started rising, books was read and a new hobby was made, and that hobby's name was...Engineering. Its was a a great thing to learn in case he decided to make it a career out of it. Plus it came in handy when his bike broke down, now he could fix it himself. Another would be karate nothing personal, but without Kim backing him the jocks started picking on him. And he was getting tired of it, but like I said nothing personal. Nothing at all. Another guilty pleasure of his would be music. In fact he already wrote a Two songs in a little black notebook of his. Can you believe it he, Ron stoppable, actually wrote a song, Ha. No one would believe that, and if they did, they'd probably think its some crappy nacho song. But it wasn't it was actually really good and he was damn proud of that fact. Now if he could just find someone to sing with him, and find the right beat it'll be set in stone.

But it was that day another problem arose. And he learned something crucial. There wasn't as much of a lack of missions as he though but, a possible end of one of his last hopes.

Is wasn't that villains decided to take a vacation, or for once just stay in Jail. It was just to much to ask after all evil doesn't sleep, or evil waits for no one, or some shit like that. As you would hear in movies or in his case by actual villains.

But it would appear Kim got herself a new sidekick, or partner as she interestingly enough corrects. But it wasn't just some old friend or even Monique, for that matter. No, no it was just some tan skinned guy black hair rides a buy. Guess who it is yet. Well let me give you a hint, its her new bhoo. The one the only Eric...Chaser... give him a hand everyone.

Yeah.

The object(person) of Ron's jealousy, is her new partner. He could understand Monique, it happened a couple of times but was it to much to hope(ask), that he(Eric) wouldn't take his(Ron) last chance of melding back there friendship.

~Flashback~(Days ago)

"KIM, KIM, IS IT TRUE THIS HANDSOME YOUNG MAN IS NOT ONLY YOUR MISSION PARTNER, BUT ALSO YOUR BOYFRIEND" - Random reporter on the new.

"Sorry Susan but I've got classes so, got to go. Coming Eric." Was Kim's reply while calling her boyfriend, who was handing a certain tied up Irish golfer, over to the police.

*"Damn that lassy why coudn't she have stuck to d us'less one"* Said golfer cursed in Irish.

"Coming K. By the way we got a ride" said, the before, called teen. Moving over to her.

"Course. Wade has someone picking us up. And maybe we can make it back before late and can go on that date you promised me." whispering the last part, as they walked away to get that ride.

And to not let the reporters hear her and spread more rumors, not that said rumor was fake but she just didn't want the world knowing all her business. There was a line after all.

"And there they goes folks, the worlds, teen saviors. Saving the world one villain at a time. This is Susan Meyer, Los Angeles, channel six news signing off, back to you Jim." Announced the famous news reporter.

"Thank you Susan. In other news th-" the TV was turned of mid speech.

"I...I'm not even surprised any more. Want some cheese Rufus"

"Yeaa cheese" was the squeaky reply from the mole rat upstairs.

~FLASHBACK OVER~

I guess it was.

But that's not the only thing. Apparently some idiot decided to get drunk that night. You know normally that'd be fine as it had nothing to do with him. But as it turns out that idiot was a truck driver. A gasoline truck driver, that was transferring a full tank of gasoline to who knows where, bit decided to drop asleep while driving... Next to my school.

A school that's now destroyed. Well 3/5 of it anyway. The drivers just lucky the janitor helped him escape just before the truck exploded.

So now with more than half the school destroyed. We have no classes for the next 8 months as they see about the school's finances and rebuild the school. And with mid terms just passing they have to somehow figure out a way to the school schedule back on track.

So that left him with 8 months of unusable time. What the hell was he gonna do now. And his grades were right on track to. By graduation he should have a high enough curriculum to pass for a good college or university.

And its not like he could just hang with friends or anything. Not that he had much to begin with. There was Wade, but then again they haven't really spoken much, he helped him with the that money problem.

There was Felix but he usually hanged out with Eric now. One of the cool kids.

Then there was Yori but she was probably busy training with Master Sen...sei.

Wait. That's it.

The last time he was in Japan. Master Sensei told him if that if he was ever interested in proper training to come visit him. And 8 months was a lot of time to get his act together and maybe learn some actual fight.

And if he trained hard enough he might even become better than Kim. After all he was doing really good at karate classes. The master even said with more train he could become a black belt. And that was only 1 month of training, that's he was able to take on some of the senior students, it was probably all the missions he did with Kim that gave him good instincts, imagine 8 with a true master.

But there was still some things he needed to do first. Particularly, he had a card to defrost. A tracking chip to take out, and emancipation to gain. Not exactly in that order but close enough. First the card. Next a lawyer its time to get some freedom.

A WEEK LATER

Its been a week and Ron could now honestly say its been great.

After hiring a lawyer who was kind enough to treat his case as a probono. He was able to take the case to he judge and with his parents at a still unknown location, winning the case was child's play. And Ron can happily say he was a free man.

And after having a chat with a lovely bank official/attendant he now had free reign on his millions. And the first thing he did as a multi millionaire, was getting that bloody chip out his skull. He hands to spend a little to keep it on the down low of course, but it was worth every penny not that there was even a dent in his bank account to begin with.

Next was getting to Japan and with his limited knowledge of Japanese, he brought a book on English to Japanese for dummies. Well that and a CD to help with the pronunciation, wouldn't want to accidentally insult (curse) someone by mistake. That would be bad.

Of course he still had to find someone to take care of Rufus until he came back. He was going to train after all, so he would need as much focus he could get. Lucky enough he was able to convince Rufus to stay behind after explaining the situation. The twins even agreed to take care of him for a while.

What

Just because he and Kim aren't that much friends doesn't mean hes not friends with her family. Well particularly the twins and sometimes Kim's mom Mrs Dr P. He would be friends with her husband too but he wasn't home so much, apparently working on some secret project or something.

But with that taken care of he could focus on training to the fullest.

The ride was long. But by the time he reached Japan he could speak a few words not much but just enough to get around to his destination. Which was a mountain by the way. Man was he glad he had some training in already or getting up that mountain would have taken longer that it did. But with finally reaching the temple he could rest.

"Who are you, state your business here"

...Or not.

As he looked up to find himself surrounded by ninjas. Not surprising really. But at least he was in the right place, he would hate to have to go all the way back home after coming all this way. Now if only they would put away the weapons pointing in his face, he should be fine, Probably.

"Uh hey...um ...my name is Ro-"

"Ron Stoppable, it is a pleasure to see you again, Stoppable-San as always, what brings you here." came a voice Ron recognized immediately.

"Hey Master Sensei, its good to see you to, and as for why I'm here... Well I was wondering if that offer for training available" Ron reply never so happy to see the old master.

"I see" he nodded and waved his hand gesturing for the ninjas to put away their weapons and leave.

"The offer is of course still available, but may I ask what brought this on. Did something happen"

"Yeah a lot actually" Ron looked away, his hand tightening around the bag he brought with him.

"By your expression, I'm guess you don't want to talk about it"

Ron nodded.

"Very well then. Come... tell me what you want to learn."

"Thank you for accepting me Master. And as for what I want to learn... Everything." Ron said following the ninja Master.

The master stopped.

"Everything"

"I know its much to ask but...I..I promise I won't let you down. I'll do every tasks assigned to me and I won't give up." He said with determination. "I know I'm clumsy and tend to mess up sometimes but, I can change...I want to change. I have to."

The master said nothing listening to Ron's speech. Hearing his resolve. Feeling it.

"The training is tough"

"I know"

"You will be expected to follow orders from others than myself"

"Not a problem"

"I won't hold back nor will you receive special treatment"

"I wouldn't expect you to"

"How long do have"

Here Ron paused and closed his eyes thinking about something before opening them again.

"6 months...and also I was hoping to ask you if you know tai chi. I wish to learn, No... master it."

"You wish to master my teachings and tai chi in six months" the master looked at him

"I do" Ron said without an ounce of hesitation.

The master stared hard at him.

"Very well, I know someone who might teach you, but first you must complete my training. But know this... there will be no second chances, and you will have to complete it in as little times as possible."

"Thank Sensei. I won't let you down" he bowed.

The master nodded before continuing on, with Ron following.

"Good, wait here" he said stopping at one of the buildings. "I will gave Yori show you to your room for the duration of your stay" before moving inside.

With him gone Ron released a sigh of relief, thankful he wasn't denied and had a chance to prove himself.

"It is good to see you again Stoppable-San"

"Yori" he turned to face the ninja already knowing the lovely voice of the Asian(Japanese) beauty. "Its great to see you too. How you been."

"I am well Stoppable-San. I heard from Master that you decided to take his offer of training."

"I did" he nodded.

She smiled. "That's good to. Sensei also instructed me to show you to your room."

"Thank you, I appreciate it. Please lead the way."

"It is not a problem Stoppable-San. It is my honor. Please follow me" she gesture to a house three buildings down while walking to it.

Quickly following after her Ron remembered something from, when he was coming up the mountain.

"By the way Yori, I was wondering if I can ask a favor"

"Hai Stoppable-San"

"I was wondering if you would help me learn Japanese and Japans history" shocking the ninja slightly before she smiled.

"But of course Stoppable-San. It would be my honor."
