A/N-Hi guys!!! I know, I know, I have three other stories going on, but an idea just popped into my head. So I'm going to go with it.

The title of this story is going to be called What Could've Been

Summary: Remember that wonderful moment at the end of season 2 when Junior gives Kris Flame and he begs her to stay? What if her phone never rang? What if Kerry had never stolen the money? What would have happened with Krunior? Read this and find out.

Chapter 1: Please, don't go

Kris started into his eyes. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"Kris, please, don't go," Junior paused causing Kris's heart to jump more out of her chest, "I love you."

He said it, she knew he was going to. So why did it hit her so hard? Why did it hurt so badly? Because she knew that she loved him too? Was it because she was leaving him behind? Something seemed wrong, usually Kerry interrupted at a time like this, but that didn't happen. That had to of meant something, didn't it? His mouth was getting closer, Kris could feel his warm breath hit her like a knife in the cold November air. She swallowed. This was the moment of truth. Nope, still no interruption. Damn, for once. His lips met hers, very gently at first. Instinct quickly took over. Kris wove her arms around his neck and his went around her waist pulling her as close to him as he could. Why am I letting this happen? I'm in a relationship with Kerry. But Kerry isn't here. I'm leaving tomorrow night with Kerry. Well, I don't have to leave. Junior just asked me to stay. Oh what the heck, I'll just go with it.

Kris suddenly felt weightless when she realized her weight was being supported by Junior's arms. She moaned against his mouth and kicked her legs around his waist to help him with supporting her weight. What have I been missing? She felt Junior continually shift weight underneath her, it took a few seconds for her to realize they were walking. She didn't want to open her eyes, she didn't want this moment to end. She shut her eyes tighter and let her feelings take control. She heard a creak, it sounded familiar, her trailer door. She then felt Junior lift three times before turning. They were now in her trailer. Kris tightened her grip as he fell onto her small bed. Even better for staying closer. A smiled came to her face. Junior's hand came from around her waist and she felt one on her cheek and one rubbing around her knee. Kris arched her back and tried to take her jacket off, not wanting to break apart their lips for the first time. Junior noticed what she was doing and helped her. She flung her jacket to God knows where. She then went for his jacket. Tonight is going to be perfect. She sighed happily and turned her attention back to Junior.

Kris woke up the next morning with the sun shining through her windows. She smiled and the comforting feeling that was surrounding her. She turned over and saw a beautiful pair of brown eyes looking at her.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," he said in a small voice. Kris just smiled as the memories of last night came flooding back.

"Good morning yourself," she yawned as she reached her arms high above her head and stretched as he back popped several times.

"Looks like you slept well," he smiled kissing her lightly on the cheek.

"Mm-hmm. I did," she smiled. They both her a growling sound and laughed.

"Looks like someone is hungry," Junior said sitting up, his perfectly sculpted chest exposing.

"They are," Kris smiled sitting up also, but she pulled the blanket with her. "But they also need to get a shower first."

Kris kissed him and leapt into the bathroom, which was right beside her bed. She turned on the water. While she was waiting for it to heat up, she got a towel and a washcloth from under her sink and threw the washcloth over the fake glass door. She then hung the towel over the rack and stepped in. The hot water usually felt really good, after sleeping. But Junior was so comfortable her muscles didn't need relaxing.

Okay, thinking time. Last night was, amazing. But it was so wrong. I can't deny it, I do love Junior Davis with all my heart and then some. But I have to leave. I have to at least try this, and see how it goes. Junior will understand. I will break up with Kerry and just stay for a few months. That's it. And then I will come home. Junior and I will start where we left off, and everything will go back to normal. Right? I hope so. He means so much to me, and after last night I can't lie to him. He knows me too well. I mean, last night was perfect, but this is my future we are discussing here! Kerry or no Kerry, I need this shot in Europe! I'm in no way ready to get serious, am I? Yeah, I could be if Europe was never mentioned. But it was! And Kerry doesn't mean anything to me. He's just an agent, and I will make that plenty clear to him, when we leave. Yes, that's the plan. I wonder how Junior will react to it.

When Kris finished washing, and shaving, and cleaning she decided to use some of her new body wash, again. Truth be told, she didn't really want to have to face Junior. She was in the process of rubbing the thick pink liquid over her body when there was a knock at the door.

"Kris? Are you almost finished? I made you some breakfast," Junior called.

"Uh," oh crap! How long have I been in here? "Yeah! Just a sec!" Kris quickly rinsed herself and turned off the steamy water. She opened the fake glass door and grabbed for her towel. She wiped her face and rubbed it over her hair before wrapping it around her body. She then opened the door and stepped into the kitchen/living room/bedroom. "Mmm, smells great!" she said walking up behind Junior and wrapping her arms around him. He turned around in her arms and smiled down at her.

"I made you scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast," he said leaning down and kissing her.

Junior made them both plates and placed them on the table.

"Look, Junior. I think we should talk about Europe," Kris said after a few bites of her food. Why am I still in my towel? Oh well, Junior doesn't seem to mind.

"I know. And it's not right for me to ask you to stay because of me," he said looking her in the eye.

"Huh?" was all Kris could choke up.

"Yeah. And even though last night was amazing, and I hope it meant something to you, I want you to go after your dreams. And once you do that, I'll be here waiting for you to come back. Just don't go off and do anything stupid, like let Kerry get you pregnant," he laughed.

"Wait, you're serious," Kris said eyes him suspiciously.

"Yes, Kris. I love you! And I mean that when I say it. This is your big chance, and I'm not going to take that away from you. And as much as I would love for you to stay here with me, that's not fair. I mean, if you want to stay, then that's great, amazing even. But follow your dreams, Kris," he said.

"I have two, and they are in conflict with each other," she sighed stabbing her eggs with her fork.

"And what are they?" he asked cockily.

"You, and a racing career in Europe," she said softly.

"I'll be here when you get back. Whether you are gone a month, or two years, I'll be here waiting for you Kris. And that's a promise." Junior stood up and came to sit by Kris.

"You are really encouraging me to do this," she smiled up at him.

"Yes. And like I said, I'll start Flame's training," he kissed her softly.

"Thank you Junior. You have no idea how much this mean to me."

"Is that everything?" Junior asked looking back over the packing list. He decided to stay and help Kris pack, to spend the final minutes with her.

"I hope so," she said looking over his arm at the list as well. "He is going to be here in thirty minutes."

"I'm going to miss you," Junior said pulling her into a tight embrace. I can't believe I'm leaving him. This is it. No more Junior. A tear slipped out of her eye.

"This is harder than I thought. Thanks again for being so understanding," she said pulling his face down to her and kissing him. They made out for about ten minutes before Junior pulled away.

"As much as I want to sit here forever with you, there are some important people you need to say goodbye too." Kris nodded and stood up. "Alone?" he asked.

"Please, I'll be back. I promise."

Junior watched her leave and sighed. What am I giving up? How am I just letting her leave like this? She's going to come back to me, I know she will. She can't forget last night, she won't be able to. But neither will I. She talked to Kerry, she would only be gone a year. And she would visit, she promised.

"Oh Wildfire, I'm going to miss you so much!" she cried hugging his big strong neck. Tears began to fall. "Junior and I are going to get together when I get back. Isn't that good?" she asked once she composed herself. She smiled and Wildfire before giving his one final hug, "Good-bye Wildfire. I'm going to miss you."

She stepped out of the barn as the Ritter's came out of the house. They made their way to her.

"Kris, we are all going to miss you," Jean said with tears falling. She gave each and every one of them a meaningful hug. Jean, Pablo, Matt, Todd, and even Dani. They each gave her encouraging words.

"Don't worry, a year and I'm all yours, again." Kris smiled. She turned and looked towards her trailer, Junior was stepping out of it.

"Trust your heart," Jean said. Kris knew what she meant and she turned around and sprinted towards Junior and leapt into his arms.

"I love you, too, Junior!" she cried. Tears were falling fast.

Junior held her, very tight. "I know you do. But listen to me, Kris. If you don't go, you will regret it. But if you do go, we will all be here waiting for you. Europe won't."

"I know, thank you, Junior, for everything." Junior set her down as Kerry came pulling up in the driveway.

"Hello," he said to everyone and then made his way to Kris and Junior.

"You ready?" Junior whispered into her ear. Kris nodded and took his hand.

"Kris?" Kerry said.

"Look, Kerry. You and I, we are going to Europe together as no more than two people in business together. You're my agent, I'm you client. We are not together. Do you have that straight?" she asked.

"Yes, Kris. I understand," he said looking down at their intertwined hands. "Let's get going. We are scheduled to take off in half an hour."

Junior and Kerry got Kris's things packed into Kerry's SUV. Kris, meanwhile, gave everyone else a final hug.

"Wildfire?" Pablo asked.

"If I see him again, I will lose it. He knows I'll be back."

"It's time, Kris," Kerry said. Kris turned around and headed toward's the SUV.

"Goodbye," she said quietly to Junior. His lips met her's for a passionate goodbye kiss. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

Kris climbed into the car and watched as her whole world went out of sight.

13 hours later.

"Welcome to your new home, Kris," Kerry said opening a fancy apartment door. Kris stared inside, it was really nice. "Mine is number 309, it's on the third floor." Kerry left her luggage by the door and walked off. He hadn't been too happy since he found out Kris was still in love with Junior, like it wasn't obvious. Kris looked at her number, 507. Fifth floor. I hope I don't forget. Kris picked up some of her luggage and set it in her living room before going to get the rest of it. She looked around her living room, which was already furnished by the way. On one side was a dining room, attached to a kitchen and on the other side was a hallway. She walked down the hall. There was one bathroom, and big bedroom, and a smaller bedroom.

"I'll unpack," she thought quickly looking at her bed, "later," she said out loud before plopping down in her bed and falling asleep.

Buzz! Buzzzzz! Buuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Kris jerked awake from the annoying sound of her doorbell.

"I'm comong!!" she called groggily. She quickly walked to the door and swung it open.

"Were you asleep?" Kerry asked.

"Duh," she retorted.

"Oh, well I got you some groceries. I figured you might be hungry. You have tomorrow off, but we need to go find you a car. So call me when you are ready to go. And then next day I have you set up with three different ranches that want you to ride a few horses for them."

"Great! Can I go back to bed now?" Kris asked brushing her fingers through her long brown hair.

"Yeah, sure." Kerry said leaving the groceries on the counter. Kris locked the door behind him and when to put the groceries up. She then searched through her luggage for something to sleep in. She finally gave up and stripped down to her underwear and walked back to her bed room and went back to sleep.

Because we belong, together, now, yeah! Forever united here somehow. You got a piece of me and honestly my life would suck without you.

"Junior!" Kris yelled happily into her phone.

"Hey babe! Miss me already?" he laughed.

"Ha, cute," she teased. "What time is it there?"

(A/N-I don't really know the time difference and my computer is wanting to be difficult, so I'm pretending it is a 12 hr difference from California to Europe. So go along with it )

"Oh, its about 8 in the evening, why?" he asked.

"I was just wondering the time difference. So I knew when I could call you and so forth," she responded. She looked over at her clock, it was 8:03 in the morning. 12 hour time difference.

"So, what's going on, on the other side of the world?"

"Just woke up, actually."

"Yeah, you sound a little groggy. Want me to let you go back to sleep?" he sweetly asked.

"No, I've been asleep since we got here. I'm going to get a car today," she said in a fake chipper voice.

"Well that sounds really interesting. Matt just got here to watch the game so I'll catch you later, babe. Love ya," he said.

"Love you, too," she smiled before hanging up. Her stomach began to growl. "Sorry," she said to it.

Kris made her way into her new kitchen and opened the fridge. I think he got me cereal of some sort. Kris found her Fruity Pebbles and poured a small amount into a bowl and pour milk on top of them. When she finished them, she looked over at the clock. She was going to call Kerry at 11 to go find a car. She still had two and a half hours to waste. She looked over the bar into her living room. Yep, unpacking would definitely count as wasting time.

Slowly she made her way into the living room and began unpacking.

"Okay, Kris. Tomorrow, 5 a.m., meet me in the lobby and we will go to the place where you have training," Kerry said once Kris got into her new bright yellow Chevy Corvette. Junior would get a kick out of this.

"Whatev. Bye Kerry," she said pulling out into traffic. She decided to tour the town she would be living at the next year. She drove around of about three hours before finding her way back to the apartment building. She walked up the stairs to her apartment and entered. She laid her keys on the table beside the door and headed for the bathroom. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. What have I done? I left everything I love back at Raintree, and Junior calling me, makes me miss it even more. But once I start riding, I will get into the swing of things over here. I just have to get to tomorrow first. Yeah, right!
