"Out there...in here..."
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- When Kim changes out of her wetsuit, Ron and Rufus avert their eyes without being asked.
- It is heavily implied that Kim herself had a crush on Ron since forever (if "Gorilla Fist" was any indication), especially when he is talking about the Bueno Nacho petition; he notices Kim seems upset and says he knows why she is (he actually doesn't). Kim's response is a very hopeful You do? Of course, he misses the point and thinks she is upset because Drakken got away due to Ron's antics. Kim immediately tells Ron she is not upset because of that at all and actually signs his petition:Ron: Thanks.
Kim: No big!
Ron: [seriously] Wrong. Very big. I can always count on you. - When Eric makes a very crass comment about Kim being "extreme steam", Ron, in full Tranquil Fury, informs him that they will never talk about her like that again. Ron is very obviously outmatched but no one talks about KP that way ever.
- Kim is falling for Eric and has already seen Ron's jealousy emerging. When she gets word that her father is missing, Ron is the first person she calls on for help.
- In the treehouse scene, we're treated to yet another mention of Ron's... experiences in Camp Wannaweep. Considering how terrible his days there were, it says a lot when the worst part, for Ron, was not the evil monkey, the poison ivy, nor the toxic lake... It was spending the whole summer without Kim.
- Ron's whole Green-Eyed Epiphany as he's trying to get dressed for prom, discussing aloud feelings he's likely been repressing for several years. It's absolutely adorable how smitten he is, but torn about if he should say something now that Kim has a steady boyfriend. He's jealous, but still very considerate of her feelings as well as their friendship.
- Ron going to Bueno Nacho instead of the dance. While it doubles as a Tearjerker, Ron decided that if Kim was into Eric, it wasn't his place to get in the way.
- Ron bursts into the prom ranting about evil toys and Drakken taking over Bueno Nacho, sounding completely insane. Kim is clearly intensely embarrassed by his antics... but she still believes him.
- When Kim is about to give up after discovering that Eric was working for Drakken, resulting in Kim and Ron becoming Drakken's prisoners;Kim: Drakken finally won. I should have stuck to babysitting.
Ron: All right, KP, this pity fiesta is over. Drakken has not won, he played you. Now it's payback time. And, y'know, there are guys out there that are better for you than Eric. Guys that are real for one thing.
Kim: You really think there's a guy out there for me?
Ron: Out there... in here... - The prom:
- While Ron confesses his love for Kim first, it is ultimately Kim who takes him to the prom as her date.
- When Kim and Ron turn up at the prom together, Bonnie mocks Kim for "finally dating that loser", trying to use the Relationship Upgrade to humiliate both of them... and FAILS! Everyone cheers for the new couple as if they're thinking "Well, about time!"
- Rufus pushing Kim and Ron together is also sweet. If it wasn't for him, it might have taken a while for them to work up the courage to dance together.
- The song "Could it Be?" that plays during Ron and Kim's dance will give anyone warm fuzzies. It represents what the Kim/Ron ship had been working towards from the beginning, and anyone who's ever found love in an odd situation can totally relate. Plus, the singer is Kim's VA Christy Carlson Romano, making it feel like it's from Kim's perspective.Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true- Perhaps the most heartwarming part of the movie occurred when Kim and Ron shared their First Official Kiss at the end of the film. This time around, it's real and not because of some device controlling her, like in "Emotion Sickness".
