I'm going to stop writing "and you are?" until I get all this "so the drama" stuff out of my head.


The Afters

Chapter 1

They kissed. Everyone smiled as the embraced each other. It was like an old love story. A beautiful woman and maybe a not as handsome man. Bonded by friendship, but fell in love. Monique sighed along with Rufus as she watched her two best friends create a new bond. Bonnie, while disgusted, did smile a cracked smile. But everyone in the gym stopped and smiled at the newly formed couple. Everyone was happy that it happened. It finally happened. Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, best friends since pre-k had finally kissed.

They separated. Kim looked down as she smiled. Ron looked around the gym. He didn't really mind anybody anymore. He just wanted to dance with Kim. To be with Kim. To love Kim. He turned back to her as the song ended.

"Kim,"

She looked up at him and blushed. "Ron."

"I uh-" he scratched his head.

"Yeah."

"So..."

"Uh-huh."

They both looked in opposite directions and shuffled their feet. Monique, who was quite aware of what was going on, ran over to them.

"Hey, Kim, Ron. Yeah you know. Why don't guys go, uh, go dance some more."

"Actually Monique…uh, the prom is almost over, and uh, I should be getting home soon. You know my dad. It's like 10:00, or 11:00 and I'm already tired and uh." Kim stammered. She was really nervous about all this.

"Yeah. And we just got back from a mission and it was a tiring one and."

Another song had started.

"Well," Kim giggled. "Maybe one more."

"Yeah." Ron smiled. He took her hand and she took his. They moved step by step across the floor of the gym. They looked into each other's eyes. Ron's freckles glowed with pinkness, from the fact that he was blushing. Kim just smiled and starred at him. She felt as light as a feather, like she was floating on air, until.

"OW!" she fell on the floor.

"Kim? You ok." He partner sat down next to her.

"Yeah, my ankle just like got really sore." She rubbed her leg.

"Come on, I'll take you home." He grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She wobbled up and leaned on him. "Can you stand?"

"Sort of."

"Just lean. Come on lets walk." He helped her out the door.

"Bye guys." Everyone called.

They walked out of the gym and hopped along the sidewalk.

"Aren't you going to take your scooter?" Kim asked weakly.

"You got to get your strength back. Is it getting better?"

"Kind of." She sighed. "Ron,"

"Yeah?"

"About well."

"This? What we are doing?"

"Yeah."

"Well." He sighed and looked up.

"Kim, did you uh, kiss me because you wanted to, or just because?"

"Ron," Kim scoffed. "UH! Can we please stop for a minute?" She pointed to a bench.

"Okay." The hopped to the bench sitting in the moonlight.

"Well, lets start at the beginning." She sighed. "Ron…how long?"

"Have I, loved you?"

"Yeah."

"Well," he gulped. "I always felt like something was there. But I haven't really thought much about it until high school. But, when Eric came along, I just said 'this is it. I know what I feel.'"

"I'm glad you felt that way Ron." She leaned in on his shoulder. Her smiled and wrapped his arm around her, touching her soft red hair. She sighed as she snuggled him with love. He just daydreamed of what the future held.

"Ron, what are you thinking?" she questioned looking up at him.

"Well, first of all, are we, you know together now?"

"Ron, of course we are. What made you think that we weren't?"

"Well, the kiss, I wasn't sure if it was a 'I love you Ron,' or a 'I need to kiss my best friend to make my heartache go away' or a 'poor Ron he doesn't have a date' kiss."

"I'll go with I love you Ron." She leaned in and kissed him once more.

"Kim, I just can't believe that best friends like I got together."

"Well, why wouldn't we?"

"The food chain?"

"Ah, forget the food chain. It's all about the Ron Chain now, Ronnie." She giggled.

"Okay, think you can walk again?" He stated moving to the side.

"I'll try." She rose from the bench and stood up. But all of a sudden she collapsed right on the ground, harder than before.

"KP!" Ron rushed to the side of his love.

"It's worse Ron, I think I really hurt it. I don't think I can walk at all."

"Hang on." Ron sighed as he grabbed her hand.

"Ron, what are you? Whoa!" she gasped as he picked her up as if she was his bride and they were on honeymoon. "Ron I had no idea you were so strong."

"Showed you eh?"

She giggled as he began to walk off towards the direction of her house.

"Mr. And Mrs. Dr. P?" Ron called entering the Possible house.

"Mom, Dad?" Kim cried. No one had answered. "Here, just put me down on the sofa."

"Ok." He did as she asked.

"Kim is that you?" a lady called from the hallway.

"Mom?" The daughter called.

"Kim oh your back." Her mom appeared. "Hi Ron."

"Hello Mrs. Dr. Possible."

"How was the prom?"

"Fine." Both of them answered.

"What happened to Eric?"

"He melted." Kim laughed.

"Okay…"

"But alls well that ends well." Kim smiled looking at Ron. "Oh, but I hurt my ankle at the dance. So, Ron took me home."

"I'll get some ice for you dear." Kim's mom smiled as she left the room.

"I better get going KP." Ron sighed.

"Are we on for a date tomorrow?"

"No big." Ron chuckled. He leaned in to kiss her and she kissed him back. Ron thought he heard her mom come in but he did not retreat. That was until Kim broke off.

"See you tomorrow." She cried to him as he left.

"Bye Kim." He had walked out the front door. Kim sighed as her mom re-entered.

"Ron eh?" The tall lady smiled.

"MOM! YOU SPIED ON US?"

"I was curious to see what you guys were up to. This is so sweet."

"Thanks mom, but can I just get some sleep?"

"Alright, you can sleep down here. Just keep the ice pack on your leg and on this pillow."

"Night mom."

"Nigh Kimmie."
