Chapter 3

Title: Window Sill

A few weeks later...

Kim Possible beamed, today was one of those days that she will never forget for the rest of her life.

Ok, maybe that was exaggerating but she felt pretty good as she walked out at the end of one of her classes. G.J. just offered her a position, that hottie in her class was checking her out, a secret admirer has been leaving jasmine on her window sill in the morning for the past couple of weeks (it was a little creepy since she could never sense whoever it was who leaves them but somewhat sweet), and she aced the midterm. Yep, things definitely couldn't get any better.

Just then, a familiar ringtone disturbed her thoughts. Smiling, she turned on her Kimmunicator, "Hey, Ron."

"Yo, KP! How ya doing?" greeted the clumsy blonde sidekick, Ron.

"Just spankin'! Passed my midterm and G.J. offered me a position!" Kim replied enthusiastically, "Uh, where's Rufus?"

"Right here!" squeaked something small and pink on Ron's shoulder.

"Hi, Rufus! So what are you guys up to?"

"Well, sensei is done teaching for the day so we'll probably just chillax," Ron explained.

"I see… hiding from Yori again, huh?" Kim teased.

"Yori? Gah! WHERE!?" Kim saw Ron panic through the small screen of the Kimmunicator.

"She's not there. But you do realize that she's a ninja, right? She's trained in the arts of espionage, scouting, sabotage, and assassination. "

"Ron-san!" came Yori's voice, as if on cue.

"Uh, KP, I gotta go!"

"Alright, Ron, go handle your girlfriend. Guess I'll talk to you later." Kim smiled and walked back to her apartment down in Boston. She didn't notice a pair of intrigued green eyes.

The past couple of years have been great for Kim. Granted, she didn't have to go on as many missions as she would like but it left her time to do things like study for her exams and meet up with friends. Harvard had been pretty tough to get into but since she was smart, her parents had the money (4), and her influence from her world-saving gig helped a little. Still, there were times when she wanted more.

Speaking of saving the world, she was lucky to be called at least once a month or two ever since the villains called it quits with the "taking over the world" schemes. Drakken set up a company that sells plants and flowers, Dementor had (tried) to sell his own line of women's dresses, and DNAmy still works with Cuddle Buddies though she now just designs new ones. Other ex-villains just receded into quiet lives after they served their sentences — most of which weren't very long because Jack Hench had very good lawyers that he rented out to the others. All of the villains were accounted for, except for one: Shego.

Kim thought about Shego sometimes. It puzzled her that the thief disappeared soon after they all team up together to save the world. She had half-hoped that Shego would return to becoming a hero but alas, that wasn't the case. Now, who knows where she is.

Kim sighed as she turned the keys to the door of her studio apartment. Inside, photos were scattered on her coffee table and on her bed. A few open books here and there also decorated the place.

She dropped her books on the floor and quickly ran to the shower. Dressed in her pajamas, she plopped down on the bed. She leaned over her nightstand to retrieve the jasmine flowers she replaced there that morning after she found the flowers on her windowsill.

"Home sweet home," she whispered contently as she twirled a flower between her fingers.

[End notes: (4)- A neurosurgeon and a rocket scientist for parents? She can probably afford a few things.]
