A/N: I do not own Kim Possible, Unfortunately.

True Love

Chapter 1: The Engagement Party

"You know, I can't believe you're getting married to Josh Mankey!" Monique exclaimed, picking up her naco and munching on it.

"Monique, I'm as surprised as you are! I still can't believe it turned out to be Josh Mankey of all people!" Kim said, not having a taste for anything Bueno Nacho related at the moment.

"So when's the Engagement party again?"

"It's this weekend. Josh won't stop reminding me to be there at 3 o'clock sharp! You can only tell me so many times, you know?"

"The boy is just excited, girl! I'm still your maid of honor, right?"

"Of course, Mon."

As Monique continued chewing on her naco, Kim was tapping her fingers on the table, pondering through her many thoughts racing through her mind, frowning. She didn't want to admit that she has been having second thoughts on this wedding. She hasn't talked to or told anyone about her current problem.

"And the wedding is next month, right?" Monique asked, breaking Kim out of her stupor.

"For the fifth time, Monique, yes!"

"Josh, would you please stop pacing around! You're making my head hurt and you're making a groove in the floor!"

"Well, Ron, you're not the one getting married next month, are you?" He said, shooting Ron an angry glare.

"No, but why are you so nervous? What's to be nervous about?"

Josh stopped pacing and looked Ron directly in the eye, "Have you ever wondered how it would feel if you were marrying a girl who you dated off and on through out high school?"

"No. But the way you describe...what's her name...Kim? I would be soo happy that I was...what has that got to do with anything anyways?" Ron asked.

"Well...I'm not sure really. It just doesn't feel right, considering it's Kim. How was I so damn lucky?! I have a feeling something is going to go wrong!"

"Oh, Josh, be quiet. If I were you, I wouldn't be pacing, I would be leaping!"

"For what?"

"Joy, duh!"

Josh rolled his eyes, "You really are a loser, aren't you?"

Ron snorted, "I'm not a loser. What a thing to call your best friend."

"And that reminds me, why am I your best friend again?"

"Maybe because...um...well..." Before Ron could answer, Josh started pacing again, and Ron sighed.

"Anyways, I can't wait to finally meet your fiance tomorrow!" Ron said, getting up off his chair.

"Yes. Where are you off too?"

"Bueno Nacho, what else?"

Josh grimaced and went on pacing.

The next day- Party

"Ah, Victor, this is Kim Possible. You did not have the pleasure of meeting her on account of you were busy with..."

"I am aware of what I was doing, Joshua. Hello, my, you're quite extravagant."

Kim blushed and waved her hand, "Thanks. You look quite nice yourself."

Victor laughed and went to mingle with the other guests, "You do look quite smokin' tonight, Kim."

"Thanks, Josh." Kim said, looking around. She saw someone wave in their direction and she heard Josh say, "Oh, I have to go. We have a deal we have to discuss. You go mingle," and with a light kiss on the cheek, Josh was off and Kim sighed.

For the next 10 minutes, Kim walked around and mingled. Soon afterward, she knew she needed some fresh air. She walked out on the balcony and saw the setting sun. She gasped in awe at the colors and how they meshed together to make a beautiful combination of colors.

"It's beautiful," she said to no one in particular.

"Isn't it?" A voice said behind Kim and she gasped and turned around.

"I...what?"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Oh, yes. It is. I'm sorry, I didn't see you."

Kim saw a blonde haired boy with soft brown eyes and three freckles on each cheek. He wore a nice shirt with dress pants. He was dressed up enough for the current occasion.

"Aw, it's alright. That's what usually happens." He laughed.

Kim frowned and looked out to the sun again. She looked back and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm not sure. Who would you like me to be?" He said, advancing to where Kim was, grinning.

Kim blinked and grinned, "Well...I'm not sure. What's your name?"

"Ron. Ron Stoppable." He said very maturely, "And you must be Josh's fiance? I'm Josh's best friend and he always talks about you. You're all he talks about, really."

They both looked out to the scene and Ron looked at Kim and couldn't believe what beheld him. Kim looked absolutely magnificent. Her royal blue dress with no straps flowed down, and into a split on one leg. Her red hair cascaded down her back, moving gently with the soft wind. The sun cast twinkles in her emerald orbs and once she smiled at the sudden realization she was being watched, she had perfect pearl white teeth. Before Kim turned his way, he jerked his head back out to the landscape.

After awhile of silence, Ron broke it by saying, "Something is troubling you, Kim Possible."

Kim jumped at being caught by a stranger and turned to face him, "Why...do you say that?"

"I can tell."

Kim sighed, "It's nothing."

"It's pretty hard to get lies past me. You're lying."

"And what if I am?" Kim said loudly, turning away from him.

"You shouldn't. It's not good to lie."

Kim snorted, "Now who told you that? Your mother?"

"Well...yes. Myself too. Common sense, really."

"Even if there was something wrong, why would I tell you?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe you shouldn't? Or maybe you should?"

There was silence that followed. After what appeared to be 10 minutes, Kim looked at Ron and noticed he had big goofy ears. She also noticed he looked depressed.

"It seems like I'm not the only one who has something troubling them." Kim said, matter-of-factly.

Ron jumped, "Now, I'm not going to lie," he said, smiling, "I do have some...troubles."

"Really? You look like the kind of guy who would never find any."

"You look like the kind of girl who finds a lot."

Kim whipped her head around, and stared at Ron, "What was that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing offensive, if that's what you mean."

Kim sighed, "I guess I do. I just haven't told anyone about it and somehow I feel like I can tell you."

"Well if you want too, you can. I'm all ears...literally," he said, meaning his two big ears, which earned a giggle from the redhead.

"Well, considering you're Josh's best friend..."

"You'd think I'd tell him? Hardly. If it's about him, I wouldn't even think of it...is it?"

"Well...heh...yeah."

Ron instantly got intrigued.

"Let's take a walk..."

So they went down the stairs and out the big front door. They walked along the trail near Josh's house.

"It's just so weird. I can talk to you about this, but I can't even tell my own mother."

Ron shrugged and smiled, "Well, I guess it's safe to say that I feel damn special then!"

Kim laughed and started, "Well, the thing is...I don't know if I like the idea of this marriage."

"Really? Do you love him?" Then Ron instantly regretted it.

Kim blinked, "I don't think I need to answer that question, Mr.Stoppable."

"Please, call me Ron."

"Anyways, Ron, I question my love for him, but I'm not at a point as to if I know if I do or not. I'm not sure what to do. He loves me, but I question it all. It'll break his heart if I break it off. We've come so far, you know?"

"I know. It's simple, from when you know if you love him or not, that is. If you don't love him, don't go through with it. Who ever heard of someone going through with a marriage and living for the next 50 years with someone you don't even love? That's ridiculous, if you ask me." Ron said, waving his arms about as he explained.

"I didn't. But that makes sense. I wouldn't want to live with Josh for the next 50 years. He's such a bore...and...," Kim stopped, bowing her head, her hair going even more over her one eye.

Knowing Kim was done talking, Ron led her back to the house. It was getting late and some people started leaving, "How about I drive you home?"

Kim thought and wasn't so sure about it, "Do you think Josh would mind?"

"Nah, not at all. He'll probably be too busy anyways, what with his reputation and all. Come on."

Kim didn't see the pain in it, considering Josh picked her up for the party, so she'd have to walk home.

On the way, they chatted about general things, steering clear of the topic they talked about earlier on in the day.

Once he drove in Kim's drive-way, she got out. holding the car door she smiled in at Ron and said softly, "Thanks. For everything. You really helped me more than you'll ever know today."

"Well, I didn't really help."

"You did in a weird way. Thanks again. See you."

"Bye, Miss.Possible."

"Kim." She corrected, and smiled as she shut the door and waved after Ron as he left.

She walked inside and saw Mrs.Possible sitting down with a mug of coffee on hand, "Josh didn't come in?"

"No, it wasn't Josh. It was Ron."

"Ron?"

"Josh's best friend."

"I see." Her mother gave a her a hard glare which Kim shook off with an eye roll.

"Oh, mother. It was just a drive home. No big." She went upstairs and changed for bed.

Once she crawled in under the covers, she took awhile to sleep, and thoughts of Ron and his speech swirled around in her mind, daring her to try to sleep. Once she took control, she did fall asleep. Ron wouldn't not get out of her mind though, and she was puzzled as to why.
