Hope y'all like this short little epilogue. It's not much, but hey…
I would really, really like to say Thank-you to all those who reviewed the last chapter: charizardag, cpneb, higherb81, The Real Sidekick, Joe Stoppinghem, Moonprincess92, Mr. Wizard, CajunBear73, AtomicFire, Second Daughter of Eve, Ace Ian Combat, Daeron Blackoak, and Meca Vegeta.
One last HUGE Thank-you to Dataweaver for doing a Beta Read for each chapter, and giving me ideas that I hadn't even thought of. He kept me on course when I would veer off a little bit. I still can't say "Thanks" enough!!!
Disclaimer: I actually almost forgot this, so I better make the Lawyers happy... I STILL don't own the characters, or the story this was based on...
Epilogue
They smiled at each other, and then leaned forward, their foreheads touching. The music continued to play as Kim dropped her head a bit, and then looked up at Ron. She smiled, he smiled, and as if on instinct, they moved closer.
Could it be that it's true Love,
That it's you…
Both of their lips slightly parted, and in almost one motion together, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable kissed the first of many, many kisses to come.
…x x x x…
The lips of a young sleeping redhead curled into a smile as she dreamed a very… nice dream. Her and a certain blond friend had now become "way more than just friends" in what seemed like the blink of an eye.
After the kiss, they pulled back a bit to look into each others eyes, and Kim saw the face of her young suitor suddenly start to dissolve right in front of her! Ron fell back away from her as his face turned hideous, as if he was synthodrone! Just like… Erika had been.
He fell into a green mass at her feet, and she screamed at the top of her lungs!
"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh…!!!" Kim woke up at 3:10 am, her scream echoing throughout her room. Almost immediately, her mom and dad rushed in, wondering just what was going on. Not far behind them were two groggy Tweebs, rubbing their eyes and stumbling along, obviously upset at being wrenched awake in the middle of the night.
"Kimmie! Are you all right"
"Kimmie-cub! What's wrong? Are you OK?"
"C'mon Kim…" The Tweebs chorused. "It's 3 o'clock in the morning! What's going on?"
Kim looked around her room as her entire family had come in as if rushing to her rescue. She sat on her bed breathing hard and clutching Pandaroo with an almost death-like grip.
"It was just a dream… Just a dream." Kim muttered to herself. Then she spoke louder to everyone who now was looking at her with annoyed faces, as if they thought she was a little off her rocker. "Sorry guys. I just… had a nightmare. Please… go to bed. I'm fine now."
The Tweebs sauntered off without another word, and her Dad mumbled "Good Night Kimmie-Cub" as he trudged off to his own bed. But her mother stayed behind with a worried look on her face.
"Kim? Are you sure you're OK?" Her daughter nodded a bit, but Anne could see the worried look on her face. "Want to talk about it?"
Kim thought for a bit, and being that she was still a little keyed up from the nightmare, nodded yes. Her Mother sat down on the bed causing it to squeak a little, and lay a hand on her daughter's knee.
"What was the dream about, dear?"
Kim wasn't sure where to start, but began to talk anyway. "You remember Ron's girlfriend Erika?"
"Yes… She seemed like a nice girl."
"Well… she was a synthodrone that Drakken built to throw us off our games."
"Oh." Anne didn't know what else to say.
"Remember how I came home and put on my Prom dress and left for the dance with Ron?"
"I was kind of wondering about that."
"Anyway… I dreamed about the dance, and our first kiss. Only this time, after we kissed, it was Ron who turned into the synthodrone, and melted!" Her eyes went glossy, and a tear threatened to escape down her cheek.
"Oh Honey… There, there…" Kim's mom said and pulled her daughter into a hug. "At least you know it was just a dream."
"But Mom…" Kim said as she pulled out of the hug. "What does it mean? I don't subconsciously think he's going to… leave me, do I?"
"Oh no Honey… I don't think so at all." The elder redhead took a breath and continued. "Now, I don't remember too much from my psychology courses, but what I do remember is that dreams can be interpreted in many ways. Some are obvious in what they mean, and others are not."
"You're not helping much, Mom." Kim said with a bit of a pout.
"Sorry, Dear. But if you would like my own opinion?" Kim nodded, "Then I would say that you just fear losing him, and in a most frightening way. Now I don't mean literally, as in Ron is going to turn into a synthodrone and melt all over your feet…"
"Eeewww… Mooommm…"
"But that he might not really Love you, like Erika didn't really love him." She paused for a bit to let that soak into Kim's brain, and then continued. "My Mother's Intuition tells me different though. That boy Loves you very much Kim, and I think it's for real. When he brought you home after the dance… he stayed outside our door for a good 10 minutes just standing there after the two of you kissed goodnight, and he had the funniest look on his face. When he finally walked away… I heard him scream out 'Boo-Yah' so loud, I thought that he was going to wake up the neighbors. I know it woke up that dog 'Chompers' a few houses down. He wouldn't shut up for 15 minutes. Didn't you hear him that night?"
"Guess not. I had… other things on my mind."
"I bet you did." Anne said with a knowing smile. "Ron's coming over tomorrow, isn't he?"
"Yeah…" Kim said dreamily.
"If you want… You could tell him about the dream?" She suggested.
"Nah… But thanks Mom… This little talk has helped me out. A lot."
"My pleasure dear. Now go back to sleep. You need your rest now." Anne helped to tuck her only daughter into bed, and then started down the steps out of Kim's bedroom.
Kim called out one last time before her mother was completely gone. "Oh and Mom?"
"Yes?" She said turning to look at Kim.
"What does it mean if I dream about water skiing over a shark?"
The end.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed this little re-write I devised from "So the Drama". I had mentioned the idea quite a while ago in a Forum topic, and when no one took the ball, I decided to and ran with it...
Laters!
