Kim Possible: A Beautiful Death

Odd Silence

Kimberly Ann walked through the friend-filled house, passing by everyone she knew. She had a plateful of sweet delights that Ann and Ron whipped up. As she walked toward the living room, she dropped the large plate on the kitchen table. She carefully looked around, making sure the full house wasn't looking at her. She then quickly grabbed 3 of the cupcakes  for herself. She turned around, and tried to look as casual as possible—no pun intended.

"GF?" She then heard a familiar voice behind her.

"They're for Ron!" She quickly turned around in denial. She then made eye contact with BFF, Monique. She looked at Kim with confusion, as she had hints of whipped cream on her mouth. "Uh..." Monique stared at her, lost for words. "I just came to say BFBF's looking for you..?" She said, now starting to show a bright grin. "Girl, don't you dare lie to me about those damn cupcakes." She finally laughed. "We all love them, so you can't hide it from me." Monique said, finally wiping the cream off Kim's mouth.

"They're just so sweet and mom doesn't always make sweet stuff and-
"Whoa. Hold it right there girlfriend." Monique stopped her, "I think you're having a sugar rush." Monique said quieter. "I'm not having a sugar rush, maybe you're having a sugar rush." Kim fired right back at her. Monique looked at the cupcakes, then back at her.

"... That's a possibility..." Monique said quietly, slightly embarrassed and unaware of Kim shifting the awkward blame. "Where's he at anyway?" Kim asked, carrying the other two cupcakes. "He's sitting with your Mom and Dad, watching Rudolph." She informed her. "Oh thank god." Kim sighed in relief, showing Monique's instant confusion. Kim noticed and sighed.

"It's no big, it's just— I needed to get away from there. Dad glares at us every time we cuddle, mom glares at dad for glaring at us and Ron is completely unaware. And it's a Christmas movie! You're supposed to feel all warm and cuddly inside and stay close to your loved one!" Kim began to rant as she leaned against the counter. "Hmm, is there something they're hiding from y'all? Perhaps walking in on you two at some point?"

"In on us doing what?"

"Ya know... catching you two rolling around in the sheets." Monique gave an interested grin.

"What— wha no! No! Me and Ron don't— I mean we haven't done that but we've-" She stuttered with a bright red face. "Oh please, girl don't tell me you two haven't done anything worth while. I know when you're wearing your special underwear." Monique winked. "Monique!" Kim shouted back in embarrassment. "Calm down! I'm just joshing you! But seriously, it's the holidays, it's cold, you feel all warm inside. Are you sure some of it isn't you being turned on?" Monique then questioned.

By this point, her and Kim were sitting down at the table. Kim looked around once again, making sure none of the people closest to the two of them were eavesdropping. She then leaned in closer to Monique.

"You have no idea how turned on I've been around him lately. Its gotten so out of hand. When we were getting mission ready the other night, I had to bite my Cuddlebuddy just to relieve some of the tension built up inside me." She said quietly.

"Gasp! Not Pandaroo!"

"Yes!"

"You did not taint poor Pandaroo." Monique said in shock. "I couldn't help it! And worst of all, I couldn't tell Ron, because I don't want him to think I'm super horny all the time!"

"But you sound like you are horny all the time..?" Monique said, almost losing track of what she was getting at. "Well yeah but I don't want him to know that!" Kim shouted back.

"Hey KP— Oo our cupcakes!" Ron then walked in, immediately distracted by the cupcakes. His entrance startled both of the girls. He grabbed a cupcake, and instantly mauled it within seconds. "Wow, these are good! Why are you hiding these from me?" Ron joked, and scooted into the table right next to Kim. He then grabbed another, and began snacking on it. Kim and Monique exchanged looks as he ate the cupcake.

Monique nodded towards Ron with wide eyes.

Tell him, her look said. She then did it again, followed by Kim looking at him from the side of her eye. Kim cleared her throat and looked at Ron. "Umm, Ron can we talk about something?" Kim then shyly said. "Wow KP, did you notice that your eyes sparkle when you wear your Christmas sweater?" He immediately interrupted her. Kim and Monique both dropped their jaws, nearly hitting the table.

They looked at each other in shock, then back at him. They could instantly read each other's minds:

O. M. G. Did you really just say something that incredibly sweet?

You see what I mean? This is why I've been turned on 24/7!

Kim regathered herself, as did Monique. "So what was it you wanted to talk about Kim?" He looked back at her. "I.. Uhh..." She froze, still shaking off what he just said. "I think I'll just leave you two to it, then." Monique said, then patted Kim on the back as she walked back to join the festivities.

"Well.. you know how you said things have just felt different lately?" She gave in. "Yeah, why? Everything okay?" He questioned back.

"Yes, well—no.. well—kinda. Have you noticed lately how much closer we've felt..?" She tried to ease her way into the conversation. She didn't want to jump the gun. "Believe it or not, I actually have. I know things have been different KP... but not all of its bad." Ron said, and placed his hand on top of hers.

This is the Ron she was getting used to. The Ron who somehow has an even bigger heart than before. As if that was possible. She smiled lightly, as they looked into each other's eyes. Kim completely forgot what she was going to tell him. She was just lost in his gaze. The most wonderful time of the year was playing in the background. Ron then reached up, and put his palm to her face. From there, he pulled her forward, only inches away from her sweet lips.

"Ron... there's something I've always wanted to tell you." Her eyes become one with his spirit. "Yeah... me too." Ron said, split second away from locking his lips with hers.

Beep-beep beep beep
The Kimmunicator rang.

The teens were so caught up with one another, not even hearing it go off. Then it buzzed again. Once again, to no answer. "Kim. Kim! You have to look at this right now! It's super urgent!" Wade came up on the screen. But all he saw, was a black screen, with minor details. He then realized his screen was face down in the table. "Kim please! Answer!" He yelled again, with another failure.

"Ron."
"Kim."
"I l-

"Hey you two, no smooching at the dinner table." James Possible said, as he walked right by them, interrupting their moment. Kim moaned in annoyance, as their sweet moment was now gone. "Shall we take this back to the couch?" Kim smiled. Ron nodded, as she pulled his arm, tugging him back to the living room.
