i'm sorry. i hate that ending.
No need to be sorry. If you hate it, you hate it...
the big red reset button sucks period. you frankly invalidated your own story and any development you gave the character in story.
You know what? You are right. I completely agree with you.
i agree with Deathshead hitting the reset without saving data first is Really vexing.
It seems that we all agree with the reset being annoying...
Unless through some Plot Device, other then finding a third Tempus Semia, unlikely. Ron recalls his memories from his brief stint as a time traveler.
Interesting...
I really want to see what Ron may Do with the knowledge that several girls and women find him attractive.
I like how you think B) .
What to do in this case?
Very well, let's try this:
***
Charity: Oh Danny, I canÆt hide it anymoreà I must confess. I love you!
Dannie: Charityà I love you tooà
ôWhat? They finally confessed? Rufus they finally confessed!ö Said Ron Stoppable to his Best Animal Friend in the whole world while watching Agony County that night in his house.
It had been a weird afternoon. They had just returned from his first school day of the year and thenà Bam! He had some very weirdà mental imagesà of several girlsà and the idea that somehow he had to remember something.
And there was the fact that Rufus had only eaten a salad at Bueno Nacho. Very strange events all of themà
But as soon as night came all that was put on the back burner in order to watch the latest episode of Agony County.
ôYou know what that means, right buddy?ö
ôuh hu, uh hu!ö
ôThis is it! The end! After a whole season of teasing that this two would end up together we will finally get a resolution!ö
Dannie: However Charityà there is something elseà
ôOh no! not thatàö Said Ron while paying his attention back to the show.
Dannie: IÆm in love with your step sisterà
Charity: Dannieà
Dannie: And with your hated Rivalà and the geek girl that sits behind me in Earth scienceà and the lunch lady in the cafeteria.
ôNo!ö Said Ron while face faulting. ôYou dummy, she is going to hate you!ö
Charity: Dannieà I already knewà and I donÆt mindà
Dannie: What?
ôWhat?ö Said Ron and Rufus in chorus.
Charity: As long as I am with youà I donÆt care.
ôRufus, Could it be?ö Said a now standing Ron. ôCould it be that the studio networks had decided to make a risky move and do a harem ending?ö
Dannie: Charityà
Charity: Dannieà
RonÆs and RufusÆ eyes were glued to the screen for what could be the greatest kiss ever in night televisionà
Geek guy with silly pajamas rising from a bed: Charity! Dannie!... uh? It was a dream! Phewà
Credits Roll.
Ron and Rufus jaws hit the floor.
ôEverything was a dream?...ö said Ron recovering from the shock ôA dream? You know what this is Rufus?... This is a resetà THEY DID A RESET!ö
ôReset, yuckö Said Rufus while hopping channels with the control hoping to find something to wash the bad taste of the experience.
ôBut of course they had to make a resetàö continued Ron with his ramblings. ôIf they want to do a new season they couldnÆt allow the characters to grow, even if that invalidates their own work, GOD FORBIDS THAT!ö
ôYeah.ö Said Rufus, still flipping channels.
ôAnd of course they had to reset it. They had given Dannie way too many girls to deal with and a TV executive in this country would never allow this type of ending. Where was I thinking this was made? Japan?ö
ôUh huh, Japan.ö Added Rufus finally stopping in a badly dubbed Japanese monster movie.
ôBut really, when in real life will you see that many beautiful girlsà interestedà in oneà onlyà guyàö
At that moment Ron was invaded by the full memories of his previous Time Travel adventures. All of them. Specially a certain one about kissesà and requestsà
ôOh my godà it really happened Rufusà it really happened! You know what this means, donÆt you?ö
But Rufus did not listen to Ron. His full attention was on the screen.
An obvious Mad Scientist in a white coat: ôGo my creation, destroy Tokyo! Yesterday you were only a lowly lab rat but today, thanks to me, you are RATZILLA! BWA HA HA HA!ö
The whole set of memories of his previous time travels hit Rufusà
ôOh no!ö
And it made the small naked mole rat faint.
ôRufus! Buddy! Wake up!ö
***
Tara was in heaven.
Ok, maybe thatÆs exaggerating a little bit but she had all the reasons to exaggerate her situation.
Ron had finally realized what she felt for him and asked her for a date!
Ok, maybe not a date. They only went to Bueno Nacho and ate a meal after classes. But at least he had asked her out. ThatÆs something.
TaraÆs had been interested in Ron for awhile now. Especially after the experience in Camp Wannaweep with the cheer squad. But he was so dense to her signals that it hurt.
And of course, there was Kimà
She always thought that he and Kim were an item. Well it seems that that wasnÆt the case.
True, she was there during their meal (and somewhat uncomfortable, Tara didnÆt fail to notice). But they didnÆt act as a couple.
Ok, he didnÆt act as TaraÆs boyfriend either but at least now she was in their group.
Now she only had to play her cards right and she might end up being his girlfriend!
It was only a matter of timeà
***
ôThe GWA rocks!ö Exclaimed Monique after the latest Mayhem in Middleton event ended.
ôIt could have been better.ö
ôCome on Ron, are you still bummed because the match between Pain King and Steel Toe was interrupted?ö
ôYou bet that I am! Is too much too ask for a simple blood soaked match between those two so they can finally set their differences?ö
ôIt was not their fault that their former manager tried to kill them in the middle of their match. Well at least you were in the action.ö Said Monique while remembering how Ron jumped to the ring when they realized that JackieÆs intervention wasnÆt part of the show. ôI still think that you should have called Kim for help thought.ö
ôI can't bother Kim for every little problem that comes our way. Besides I knew I could handle it by myself.ö
ôI have to admit that you did wellàö said Monique with a smile. ôà But IÆm afraid that your shirt is a goner.ö
ôIt was one of my favorites tooàö Said Ron while looking at the shredded remains of his shirt. ôà Now I only have 6 sets of this style remaining.ö
Monique shuddered. Ron was a good guy, great even, but his fashion sense was beyond anything she had ever seen.
ôIÆll tell you what. Why donÆt you come to Club Banana this weekend and we pick something nice for you to wear besides those dreadful shirts. We could even use my employee discount.ö
ôAnd pay 10 times more for something that I could find in Smarty Mart? No thanks.ö
ôSmarty Mart has this kind of clothes.ö Said a disbelieving Monique while showing her own clothes.
ôAisle 10, women clothing. Smarty Mart had just announced a big sale of them last week.ö
ôI have to see it to believe itàö
ôOk then, this weekend it is!ö
ôAnd if they are not there then we go to Club Banana and get you some real clothes.ö
ôMy friend, if they are not the same I will not only go to Club Banana but IÆll also buy you a dress for the inconvenience.ö
Monique was surprised. What was with this sudden confidence that Ron had been showing lately? He had not only invited her to the GWA event tonight but he had also agreed to go to a shopping spree?... with her? Or he was very brave, or he really didnÆt know her æshopping side.Æ
In any case, this deal seemed to be a no brainer. If Smarty Mart didnÆt had the same type of clothes that Club Banana had then they would go to Club Banana and dress this guy in some nice clothes and she would even gain a dress!
Even if by some miracle Ron was right and they had same type of clothes (like, I do not know, Smarty Mart had the same owner as Club Banana or something like that) then at least she could put some fashion sense in this guy.
And she would have found a place that didnÆt break her budget in less than two hours.
ôItÆs a date then.ö
ôUh, a date?ö
ôNot a date ædateÆàö Monique quickly amended. ôà More like a friends date.ö
ôLike the ones we have with KP?ö
ôThatÆs right! just like those.ö
ôAnd speaking about KP, what do you say we give her a call and we meet her at Bueno Nacho for some snackage.ö
ôI donÆt think that we can do that Ron.ö
ôOh come on! It wouldnÆt be the first time that IÆll eat there without a shirt. Those Diablo sauce and soda spills had taken their tool in shirts a couple of times already!ö
ôNo, I mean thatÆs 2 a.m. already and Bueno Nacho is closed.ö
ôOh yeah? I didnÆt notice it.ö
ôRon, the reason that this was going to end so late was one of the reasons why Kim didnÆt come in the first place.ö
ôOh yeahàö Said Ron while scratching the back of his neck and remembering that KP just wasnÆt into wrestling in the first place. ôà There was also that Math test for second period that she had to study forà AHHH!ö
ôRon?ö
ôI have the same test, and I havenÆt study at all!ö Said a screaming Ron while going home to try to cram several classes in the few remaining hours that he had before the test.
Monique smiled. No matter how much Ron seems to have changed, inside he still was the same simple guy that he has always been. Seriously, forgetting to study for a testà
ôWait a minute, I have the same test! AND HAVENÆT STUDY EITHER! AHHH!ö
***
Shego was about to lose her mind.
It was not the first time that she had been in a high security cell in prison. Being a super powered villain made sure that you only get the super villain treatment. It only meant that it would take a little bit longer to escape.
It was not the 24 hours surveillance that they kept on her. She had wondered when they would wise up to her act and do one of these things to her anyways.
No, she was losing her mind due to her æroommate.Æ
How in hell Motor Ed ended being her cellmate? He was a MALE. He should be in a completely different wing! If not a completely different prison!
He was self-centered, continuously hit on her, could take no for an answer and was even a bigger of a fool than Drakken! (And he could even take her best plasma shots with not even a scar to show!)
It had only been one month and she thought that this guy had completely destroyed her interest in men.
So when the guard told her that she had a visit she just accepted it without even asking who was the one visiting her.
Besides if she heard æseriouslyÆ one more timeà
So is not a surprise that her jaw hit the floor when she saw who was waiting for her in an isolated interrogation room.
ôHi Shego. How is it going?ö
ôThe princess and the fool? What the hell are you doing here?ö
ôWe just came to make you an offer.ö Said a serious Kim Possible while standing and having her arms crossed. ôWe let you go early under parole with the condition of performing community service.ö
ôWhat kind of community service.ö
ôWorking for us.ö Said Ron Stoppable with a grin while sitting on a chair in the room.
ôWhat! Have you lost your mind?ö
ôNot my ideaàö said Kim.
ôEven if we were in a parallel universe and I decided to accept. What makes you thing that I wonÆt just escape at the first chance? News break people: I AM evilà I LIKE being evil!ö
ôExactly my point.ö Said Kim.
ôKP. Would mind leaving us alone for a moment?ö
ôYou sure Ron? I meanà itÆs Shego.ö
ôI think Rufus and I can handle her.ö Said a confident Ron. ôBesides, youÆll only be on the other side of the door. If something happens IÆll scream for help.ö
ôOk Ron.ö Said a visible worried Kim while leaving the room.
ôSoàö Said a still sitting Ron while Rufus went ahead and disconnected the camera of the interrogation room. ôHowÆs prison life with your new cellmate going Shego?... Seriously?ö
ShegoÆs eyes were about to pop out of her head. There was something in his manner and in the way Ron had said those wordsà that told her that he was the one responsible for her actual situation.
ôWhat the hellàö
ôMaybe not hellàö said a still relaxed Ron. ôàbut it was the closest thing that we could come up with.ö
ôHowàö
ôGlobal Justice has a way to convince prison authoritiesà and we pulled some strings.ö
Once again something in his manner told her that every time he said æweÆ he actually meant æI.Æ
ôAnd let me warn you Shegoàö continued Ron. ôà If you ever escape your responsibilities, double cross us or even cross the street without our knowledge... When we send you back here, and you know that we eventually will, weÆll make sure that your æaccommodationsÆ will be waiting for you.ö
Shego was flabbergasted. What was this feeling? The buffoon was effectively blackmailing her to join their team, he was showing a dark streak and he was giving her no option but to obey him. He was scaring herà but in a good way.
ôOk boy, you have a new partner. Where do I sign?ö
***
It was not the first time that Vivian Frances Porter was a Tutor.
It was common that once in a while her superiors at the space center æaskedÆ her to evaluate the intellect of some kids.
Usually their own sons.
She wouldnÆt have minded if they werenÆt just drooling baboons more interested in getting in her pants than in Robotics. (Not that she used pants, she preferred mini-skirts, but you get the idea).
So when Doctor Possible asked her to Tutor a certain Ron Stoppable she didnÆt refused but wasnÆt expecting much either.
She remembered the guy. He was Kim possible partner and, to be frank, her first impression of the boy was not flattering at all.
She expected him to be lazing around talking about these weird rules between men, women and dating.
She still accepted to tutor him. She owed it to the good Doctor and his daughter.
So when the guy showed signs of actuallyà having a brainà she was slightly surprised.
She still didnÆt know if what he did was a result of pure genius of brainless luck but she had to admit that, so far, the guy had showed results.
ôNow if everything goes as Rufus and I planned this should be the very first Naco-matic machine. Capable of performing any combination requested, no matter how æstrangeÆ it might seem!ö Said Ron in a white coat that was too big for him.
ôMmm, Naco!ö Said Rufus in similar coat, Naked-Mole-Rat sized.
ôInteresting Ron very interesting.ö Said Vivian.
Maybe it was his naivetÚ, maybe it was the hard work that he was doing while trying to understand a concept or building a machine, or maybe it was the way he always made her laugh but she had come to pay him a little bit more of attention every day.
ôOk Rufus, flip the switch.ö
ôOk!ö
In any case she though that she might found a Diamond in the roughà
ôOh noà whatÆs happening?... uhm, it isnÆt supossed to do thatà whoaà Naco-matic put him away!... Hey! careful with the Naked Mole Rat scientist!ö
ôAhhh!ö
ôRufus! The Naco-matic wants to make a Rufus-Naco!ö
à Very in the rough.

Bonnie Rockwaller couldnÆt believe what she was doing.
It was not so much what she was doing (she was drinking a non fat latte) but more with whom she was doing it.
After all if somebody would have told her some months ago that she would be drinking fancy coffee with Ron Stoppable she would just have sent them to hell.
But even during the event itself she still couldnÆt believe it.
It was not strange that the bozo had asked her out. He had done it a couple times in the past. But now he had been doing it regularly, like once every two weeks.
Of course she didnÆt accept right away, she had a reputation to protect. But in the last few months the guy hadà cleaned his act.
He dressed better, showed more confidence, toned down the goofiness (although he still had that accursed habit of losing his pants once in a while)à hell! There were rumors that he was seeing some girls in a æregularÆ way.
And there was always that rumor about him becoming secretly a millionaireà
He was still a geek but somehow he had become a æcoolÆ geekà
Yeah, she still couldnÆt believe that that was even possible.
And speaking of Possible. She always thought that these two were secretly æan itemÆ but Kim would never bring it in the open in fear of being downgraded in the food chain.
Something that was more unlikely as time passed and Ron seemed to move up in said chain.
So she decided to give the loser a chance.
And, hey! she would have free coffee.
ôSo what do you want to talk about?ö Asked Ron while drinking his black coffee (how he could order it while still being a minor was another mystery for her).
ôMmmàö Well as long as she was dong this she could get some answers. ôWhat about your recent changes? I would like to know were you got those nice clothes for exampleàö
ôOh yeah! Funny story there. Would you believe that the clothes thing started after a wrestling match?ö
ôReally? Tell me more...ö
***
Kim Possible was not blind.
She had noticed the changes that his best friend and sidekick had done lately. It would be hard not to with they spending almost all the time together.
The clothes, the confidence, the tutorà
At first she thought that it was only a way to get a girlfriend, especially since she heard the rumors of him dating a few girls of the cheer squad.
She didnÆt expect that one of them was Bonnieà
Or Moniqueà
She was quite surprised about the rumor of Brittinaà
And she had her suspicions about Vivianà
She was kind of glad about Tara thoughtà
Not that she cared about who Ron was dating. Yeah, she was not interested in his social life at all! He could date the whole female population in the planet for what she was concerned!
No, what she was concerned was about his mental healthà Yeah! That was it! Dating so many girls was a cry for help and she wouldnÆt be a good friend is she wasnÆt supportive.
Had not she been supporting for him before? She had even agreed to his crazy plan of recruiting Shego on team Possible! Ok, she had to admit that it had worked very well so far but that was besides the point.
She had to keep an eye to what he was doing for his own good. DidnÆt she know what was better for him?
Although his latest idea put her patience to the test.
ôForget it Ron.ö
ôCome on KP. I assure you that it will work.ö
ôIÆm sorry Ron but I fail to see how me wearing that form fitting, revealing and bad taste uniform is going to help us fight crime!ö Said Kim while holding the ægarmentÆ as it had something dangerous inside.
ôYou fail to see the big picture KP. With this youÆll be distracting the bad guys in such a way that they would leave several openings in their defenses and will be easier to defeat.ö
ôUhum, distracting.ö Said Rufus with a tailor measuring tape hanging from his shoulders.
ôBesides Shego agrees with me.ö
ôHe is right princess.ö Said Shego while dressing a provocative version of her old uniform. ôBesides is very comfortable. Or is little Kimmie scared of showing too much skin?ö
ôAlright...ö Said a defeated Kim. ôà IÆll use it. But only once! And if it doesnÆt work then is the fire for this abomination!ö
Shego and Ron just smiled.

When Master sensei asked Yori to pick up the future Monkey Master for his stay in Yamanouchi Yori was already expecting a remarkable individual.
Although somebody like Stoppable-san was not the first thing that came in her mind when she thought of a hero.
But how he had proved her wrong!
While at the beginning he had very little skills to speak of, he gradually got better. His hard work proved how focused he was on his task.
And there was also the fact that his American style humor made everything very lighthearted, even in the harshest of trainings.
He had not only proved that he was the true Monkey Master by using the Lotus Blade and defeated Monkey Fist using his Mystical Monkey Ninja abilities but had also asked to stay for one more week in order to improve even more! A request that Master Sensei approved immediately.
She also had to admit that she was glad that he had decided to stay.
He still had a long way to go to master the ninja arts but he was well on his way of becoming the true Monkey Master that the prophesies spoke of.
And it would be her honor helping him in all aspects that he needed.
ôYori, are you sure that I need to be naked for this exercise?ö
ôOf course Stoppable-san. ItÆs necessary in order for you to acquire the awareness of your surroundings.ö
ôAnd you need to be naked too?ö
Yes, an honor indeedà
***
ôSo when are the boys coming back?ö
ôFor the 100th time in this hour Monique, he is coming back in a week.ö
ôWhy did he said that his stay in Japan was extended?ö
ôHe said that an 'unforeseen circumstance' arose and he had to stay one more week.ö
ôWhat kind of circumstance?ö
ôHe didnÆt say but considering his recent actions and the fact that he is in Japan the æcircumstanceÆ is most likely a brunette.ö
ôArenÆt you being a little harsh with him?ö
ôHarsh!? Monique he is dating several girls and nobody seems to care?ö
ôDown girl, thatÆs between him and the girls, why is it bothering you that much anyway? Are you jelling?ö
"jelling?"
"Jealous."
ôMe? Jealous?! Ha! DonÆt make me laugh! I am not jealous at all, I do not care which girls he is dating or the fact that he is so busy that I havenÆt had a Ron night in months or that he used to tell all the details of his dates before oràö
ôHi girls how is it going?ö Said a recently arrived Shego while sitting with Monique and Kim in Bueno Nacho.
ôNothing new, only Kim in one of his denial rants.ö
ôI am not in denial!ö
ôWhich one she used this time? The one were she doesnÆt care or the one were she says that Ron is a typical Macho?ö
ôThe one were says she is not jealous.ö
ôOh! Yeah! That one is new isnÆt it? She just came up with it last month.ö
ôAt the rate that she is using it, it will stop being new in a week.ö
ôHey! I am sitting right here! Do not talk as if I wasnÆt present!ö
ôDo not feel bad Kimmie, if Ron forgets about you remember that I am always available.ö Said Shego wile hugging Kim.
ôSHEGO!ö
ôRelax Kim, You know that Shego is only kidding. IsnÆt it true Shego?ö
ôYeah, sure, only kidding here Kimmie, you now that I am not into women...ö
ôGood.ö
ôOnly into youàö
ôSHEGO!ö
ôWow, Asian stud at 3 oÆclock.ö Said Shego with a wistle. ôWho is the hottie?ö
ôWho?ö Monique turned. ôOh, itÆs just Hirotaka. You interested?ö
ôArenÆt you?ö
ôNah, he isnÆt my type.ö
ôHe isnÆt your type? You shoved me away in the movies in order to sit next to him!ö Said an angry Kim.
ôThat was then, before I really get to know him better.ö
ôWhat? Is he a freak?ö
ôNah, he is a good guy, he is justà somewhatàö
ôDull.ö Finished Kim.
ôWell if you want you can go out with him once. To see if he is your type.ö
ôYou should hurry, I heard that Bonnie was after him.ö
ôKim, girl, you should be keeping an ear on the gossip vine more often. Bonnie is not seeing him anymore.ö
ôReally? Oh well, I guess he is available then Shego.ö
ôNah. If he has been dropped more times than a basketball then he is not my type. Oh well, there will be others.ö
ôI am not interested in others.ö Said a sad Kim ôI am only interested in Roàö Kim stopped when she realized what she was about to say.
ôYou are only interested inàö Said Shego and Monique in chorus.
ôIn Roàaming the earth defeating evil guys in every corner of the planet!ö
ôAha, and The Nile is just more than a river in said planet.ö
ôOwàö Said a defeated Kim.
ôBy the way Kimàö continued Monique. ôWhen are the boys coming back?ö
***
Felix Renton considered Ron Stoppable as one of his best friends.
While it was true that the guy had changed somewhat in the last months he still was able to see the same old Ron.
ôWhat theà That wasnÆt what I told my character to do! I commanded it to do a jump and a kick not a kick and a spin! The frequencies of the wireless must be crossed again.ö
Who else could always blame the wireless due to his mistakes? That didnÆt mean that he didnÆt notice his changes.
And what was wrong with changing? He had already improved a lot due them, and the girls? Well that wasnÆt much an issue for Felix.
ôHello Ronald! Is nice to see you here again!ö
ôHe-hello Mrs. Renton.ö
As long as they didnÆt include his motherà
ôI already told not to be so formal around here Ron.ö
ôO-ok madam.ö
It was not that he suspected Ronà But the way that he behaved around his mother was suspicious.
ôRon, is everything ok?ö
ôUh? Oh! Yeah, IÆm fine, no problem at all!ö
ôYou sure?ö
ôYeah, 100% fine and dandy, right Rufus?ö
ôRight!ö
ôOk, if you say soàö
ôGood, now you have to let me challenge you once more to vindicate myselfàö
ôAs long as the signals of the wireless arenÆt crossed.ö
ôOh, youÆll pay for that!ö
ôBring it on Stoppable!ö
ôBy the wayà is your mom seeing someone?ö
ôRON!ö
ôMade you look! Ha! Point for me!ö
ôThat was low Ron.ö
ôHey in war and loveàö
ôNow the gloves comes offàö
ôBring it Pal!ö
ôEat flamethrower Stoppable!ö
ôSoà is she?ö
ôRON!ö

The Doctor Cyrus Bortel was Ecstatic. He had made progress in leaps and bounds since he had the financial support of a silent investor.
Before him he had to sell his inventions trough the net to one of the several of the Government agencies in order to get enough founding but since that guy appeared everything was better including his lab security (he was surprised that he had only one break in before the investor appeared. Luckily that Possible Girl was able to solve the problem).
He even had the support of GJ and that was something!
Now he had just completed the Moodulator and was sending the prototype, along with the specifications to GJ so they could give them to his investor. He just had to send the confirmation trough e-mail.
ôAnd now the marathon of the Fearless Ferret awaits!ö

ôCome on Rufus! KP and Shego are waiting for us.ö Said Ron to his best Animal Friend while getting ready for a mission.
ôLook, lookàö said the small rodent pointing to RonÆs computer screen.
ôUh? WhatÆs that buddy? Mmmà ok, so this Bortel guy is sending you his latest invention. A æmoodulatorÆ? What is that supposed to do?ö
ôDonÆt knowö
ôOh wellà at least it canÆt be worse than what Henchco sends you weekly.ö
ôHey!ö
ôWell I still donÆt like the idea that you are the owner of the main supplier for bad guys.ö
ôFormer.ö
ôOk, æformerÆ supplier of bad guys. And donÆt get me wrong, I am glad that these inventions will never see the light of dayàö Said Ron while holding a black helmet with a tag that said Attitudinator. ôBut I still think that you should have destroyed the company after you bought it.ö
ôInvestment.ö
ôYeah I concede that you increased several times over the 99,000,000 of the Naco Royalties with the investments but I would have preferred that we just used it to destroy the bad guys instead of buying them.ö
ôLate.ö
ôYouÆre right! WeÆll be late.ö Said Ron remembering that he still had things to do.
ôComing.ö Said Rufus while reading another e-mail confirming that Rufus now was the new owner of Bueno Nacho and Co.
He might no be eating that much junk food anymore but that didnÆt mean that he didnÆt appreciate the good things in life.
Now the question was when to tell Ron the news?
He was his partner so he had to be informed.
But he also didnÆt want to lose the first year of profits in the stomach of Ron during the celebration dinner.
***
ôWade.ö
ôYes Kim?ö
ôYou sure that Ron is in the space center right now?ö
ôAnd are you sure that this is any of your business?ö
ôWadeà I am just worried about Ron, he told me that he would meet me at Bueno Nacho tonight after leaving the space center but itÆs 9 pm and he hasnÆt appeared yet.ö
ôWell, as I told you before, the chip shows a strong signal coming from the space center so he must still be there.ö
ôAnd the security cameras?ö
ôWellàö Wade turned to see one of his monitors.
Ron: ôVivian?ö
Vivian: ôYes honey?ö
Ron: ôAre you sure that we need to be in our underwear while working with these devices?ö
Vivian: ôRonnie, whoÆs the expert in robotics here?ö
Ron: ôWell, you butàö
Vivian: ôSo I guess that I know what I am talking about when I say that normal clothing produces too much harmful static electricity for the integrated circuits.ö
Ron: ôYeah butàö
Vivian: ôRonnie donÆt be a crybaby. Learn from your petàö
Rufus: ôYeah! Naked!ö
Ron: ôWell thatÆs not fair. He is used to it!ö
Vivian: ôWell then stop complaining honey and help me with this panel.ö
ôWADE!ö
ôYes Kim?ö
ôThe surveillance cameras?ö
ôOh yeah the camerasà they are under maintenance so I canÆt use them.ö
Wade didnÆt like to lie to Kim but he thought that it would be better if he kept this a secret from her.
Ron: ôVivian, I donÆt think that there is enough space for both of us here.ö
Vivian: ôOf course there is, we have just to press to each other a little bit. Uhm! See?àö
Ron: ôUhà yeahà I seeàö
Definitely better if he kept it a secret.
ôWade, why is there blood coming from your nose?ö
ôUmà pressure. The pressure is getting kind of high on my room so IÆll have to release some valves. It will take some time so IÆll call you later, ok?ö
ôOk, bye wade.ö
ôBye Kimà Phew the things that I do for you Ron.ö
Ron: ôVivian, donÆt move so much, there is not enough space here.ö
ôBut thatÆs what friends are foràö

ôYouÆve arrived too late Kim Possible!ö Said a menacing Drakken (well, as menacing as he can be in hip hop clothes) on the American Super Star stage ôI am already on national tv and soon the whole world will buy my shampooà and when they use it their will be under the control of Doctor Drakken!ö
ôWell done Drakken. But I donÆt think they will be buying them after what you have just said.ö Said Ron behind a tv camera.
ôWeÆre live right now?ö
ôYep!ö Exclaimed Rufus while wearing a floor manager headset.
ôDamn you Kim Possible! Damn you and your buffoonish friend whose name I never remember.ö
ôHis name is Ron.ö Said Shego behind Drakken. ôand stop pretending you donÆt remember his name. You know it already!ö
ôShego!? YouÆre working for them?ö
ôSorry Dr. D. If is of any consolation this is nothing personal. Is strictly business.ö Said Shego while socking him one.
ôHow does it feel to be on this side?ö Asked Ron.
ôLet me tell you, IÆll never thought that it would feel this good. And I was a heroine before becoming villain!ö
ôYou see fighting for good is great!ö Added Kim.
ôNo, is not thatàö
ôMaybe is seeing KP in the form fitting uniform everyday.ö
ôRON!ö
ôNah, isnÆt that either, although is a nice bonusàö Said Shego with a leer.
ôMaybe is the teamwork?ö Said a blushing Kim.
ôOh, Kimmie is getting attached to little Shego... Give me a hug!ö
ôShego!ö
ôHey, with æDr. D.Æ gone we have no closing act! ô Said the showÆs director. ôYou have to help us!ö
ôBut we havenÆt prepared anything.ö Said Ron.
ôHere!ö Said Rufus giving Ron a piece of paper.
ôMy homework? do you want me to sing my homework on national tv?... Ok! Hey girls we have to put a show.ö
ôAnything to get Shego off me. What are we going to do?ö
Rufus and I call ità The Naked Mole Rat Rapàö

ôStoppable-san once again youÆve proven your bravery.ö Said a proud Yori after Ron, Kim and Shego helped her to rescue Master Sensei from Monkey Fist.
ôThanks to you, Kim Possible andà Shego, was it?ö Said Master Sensei.
ôThatÆs how everybody calls me.ö Answered Shego.
ôThanks to all of you I can return to the Yamanouchi school.ö Finished with a bow the elder ninja.
ôSorry if we were harsh on you earlier.ö Said Kim while Shego just rolled her eyes. ôIsnÆt that right Shego.ö
ôYeah, yeah what Kimmie said. Those couple of plasma shots were just a sort of greeting.ö
ôIn any caseàö continued Kim. ôWhat exactly is the sitch between you and Stoppable-san.ö
*Cough* jelling *cough* said Shego.
ôA bond of honor.ö
ôYeah, butàö Kim hadnÆt even finished talking when Yori gave a peck to Ron in the cheek.
ôStoppable-san until the day we again meet. IÆm very interested in continuing your awareness training.ö
A nervous Ron giggled. ôHe, he, that was Japanese for Goodbye.ö
ôAnd the ætrainingÆ?ö
ôA completely honest to god ninja arts training.ö
Yori Giggled too. ôOh Stoppable-san. You and your American style of avoiding women troubles.ö
An helicopter arrived were they were standing.
ôNow it is time for us to go.ö
And with a bow Yori and Master Sensei left on the chopper.
ôDo you really thing that Yori likes me, likes me?ö
ôSee it in this way stud. The girl wouldnÆt mind being lost with you in the woods any of these days.ö Said Shego.
ôOh man! And I thought that my life was complicated enough... Shall we go?ö
ôSure Ron.ö
While climbing down the mountain Shego whispered to Kim.
ôIf I were you I would keep my eyes open for ninja girl.ö
ôFor the first time Shego, we agree.ö

It had been a long way but Kim was finally at the Prom. This night was special in several ways.
First, next year would be her last in high school and a chapter of her life would be over.
Second, she would be free of ShegoÆs insinuations for one night. That girl had developed some serious issues since working with them.
And third, she would finally be telling Ron what her real feelings were.
Yes, she had finally admitted ità she loved Ron Stoppable and tonight she would tell him.
She just hoped that it wouldnÆt be too late.
The rumors had grown so much that she just couldnÆt stand it! She had admitted to herself what were her true feelings and now she would go for broke!
And if any of these other Bimbos appearedà then she would show them.
She knew him first damn it!
So far everything went according to plan. They met at her house, left for the Prom, the people even clapped when they saw them together (although she couldn't avoid to seeà some sad faces among the audienceà)
And then under the dim light she kissed himà
It was magicalà
***
It was terrible!
Ron didnÆt expect it to go this way.
When he got the memories back he made plans with Rufus using their new found knowledge to defeat the evil guys even before they acted.
While Rufus had the secondary goal of losing wight (It didnÆt matter how much Ron insisted that he became a gigantic, angry and æfatÆ monster only due to his evil twin the little guy would not abandon the idea of the diet) He had the secondary goal of finally getting a girlfriend.
And he had 13 options to choose from!
Well, 12. He didnÆt really thought of FelixÆs mom as an optionà no matter how well she lookedà
He didnÆt even considered Kim, Shego and Yori as options either.
KP was his best friend and trying a relationship with her would be wrong, great but wrong.
Shego was... well, evil and besides she was more into KP than in him soà no.
Yori seemed like a great gal but he felt that it was more admiration than anything else so she was out.
Even then he 12 other options and, being Ron, he tried his luck with all of them. He didnÆt want 13 wives, that was a æGreat BlueÆ thing and he didnÆt want to go down that road. He thought that with his luck he might get one girl out of the deal. It never crossed his mind that he might get all of them interested in him.
Boy, had he been wrong!
After his kiss with KP during the prom he heard several feminine sobs coming from the audience.
They he saw several girls (Tara, Moniqueà even Bonnie!) crying.
He felt so bad. He only wanted a girlfriend and now he had broken in pieces the hearts of people that he considered his friends!
And now that he thought about it several other girls in his life would react the same way when they knew what happened.
And what about KP? He really liked her but going with her now, after everything that he has done... it felt wrong.
And what about Shego? At first he only blackmailed her joining to team possible because he felt he owed something to the Shego of the alternate future. But as the days go by Shego was slowly but surely becoming the Shego of that Future! If she saw KP devastated she would be angry, would go on a killing spree (with him as the first target) and all the good work that she had done would go down the drain.
And what about his own training? He had improved a little bit but it wasnÆt enough! By this time he expected to have all the abilities of The Great Blue but not only he was still mediocre at robotics he still couldnÆt control his MMP like him! (he could fight but couldnÆt get that cool blue battle aura that his other self controlled at will).
And what about the Lowardians? In any moment they would come looking for The Great Blue and put the earth in danger.
Then again, he wasnÆt evil nor blue so the possibilities of they coming were very low.
So at least one thing had gone rightà
***
ôSo this is The Great Blueö Asked Warhok to Warmonga.
ôHe seems to be. His features fulfill the prophesy.ö Said Warmonga while watching the screen.
DR. Drakken: ôI am already on national tv and soon the whole world will buy my shampooà and when they use it they will be under the control of Doctor Drakken!ö
ôAt least he shows the right attitude. Go Warmonga and confirm that he is truly The Great Blue.ö
