Author's Note - Hello to all you readers out there. Once again, it's been a while since I have written anything, but I always try my best to give good quality when I do produce a story. This will be no exception. I came up with this idea after I watched, "The Punisher". It was a great movie and I was going to do one like it but with Kim Possible. After a few revisions in my mind, I had this story that wasn't much like Punisher anymore. Any ways, I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer - I do not own Kim Possible. I only write this so that others may enjoy my ideas.

Chapter 1

The day before a wedding can be an interesting thing. Many find that it is second only to the wedding itself.

When a couple decides to wed, it takes a lot of planning. When the day before comes around, all the planning goes into effect. A bride's dress must be picked up from the tailor along with the groom's tuxedo. Flowers are to be checked by the florist to guarantee a beautiful ceremony. Also, a rehearsal must be done to instruct all on when, where, and how to do what they need to do. It's a long day. The night is different though.

When the sun falls and the moon rises, the day has come to an end and it is time to rest. Lovers come together for the last time as separate people, and spend the night in each other's arms. All outside forces leave the two alone, not wanting to break them apart. Not that the forces that be could separate them. The love they share that night is strengthened by their hold on each other. Unfortunately, evil forces also watch over the two lovers. Waiting for a time when love will wane.

Tonight, a night before a young couple's wedding day, it is just as described. Two sleep wrapped in each other's arms, and evil will have its chance tonight to wreak havoc on one. Not by a fault in the people whose love will always be eternal, but a strange twist of fate.

The bride stirs in her sleep and causes a terrible movement that separates her and her soul mate. Evil sees its chance and quickly takes advantage of the situation. Like darkness falling over an eclipsed sun, evil moves its way around the young woman's body. Oh what a cruel fate befalls this beauty! It will not be a wound upon her physical form, but a hurt in her mind... in the depths of her soul.

In her dreams...

"Kim..." A warm voice calls.

"Kim... It's time to wake up." Though her slumber is calming and soothing, her mind knows this voice that calls.

"Just a few more minutes Ron. It's not my fault you like to get up at the crack of dawn."

"But Kim, you promised!"

Kim could just sense the pout on his face. Unfortunately enough, she could also picture it. ' Damn him and his constant cuteness. Oh well. I did promise him.'

"Okay Ron, just give me a minute to adjust. What's the sitch?"

Ron just smiled at her use of that phrase. It had been so long since she used it before a mission, but he wanted to let that pass for now. This morning was meant to be spent in the now, not to reminisce about the past. "It's about five minutes until the sun rises. And don't worry, I have the bacon thawing and ready to cook. A meal straight from the famous chef Ron. Ah boo-yeah."

'Mmmmmm... bacon.'

Not that Ron was a mind reader, but he guessed that the smile on Kim's face was a sure sign that she was happy. But time was short, and he wanted her to see the sun rise. "Come on Kim. The sun is going to rise soon."

"Okay, okay, just cool it. Let me get some warm clothes on." Kim got out of their large bed and walked across the stone floor to the dresser. Looking through a few drawers, she picked what she liked. A simple white tank top with a sweatshirt that had a monkey on it eating a banana, and a pair of pink sweat pants.

Ron stood at the window in a black undershirt and blue jeans. He could see the sunlight getting brighter in the few minutes he waited. He felt an arm around him as Kim snuggled close to him. "You're so cute Ron. You still look away when I change even though you've seen me in the buff."

'Oh goodness! She sounds sexy right now! Must not get distracted. Think Ron! Think!' Ron turned around, still blushing from Kim's statement. Seeing the seductive smile on her face did not help his cause. Knowing how Kim was in the morning, he quickly grabbed her chest. "He he he. You're not wearing a bra!" Ron giggled... then ran!

"Why you little! I'm going to get you for that Mr. Stoppable!" Kim chased after the blonde man that had gotten a head start on her. A few lefts and rights later she knew where he was going. As they reached the top of a flight of stairs, Ron stopped and stood outside a door. Kim jumped on him. "HA! I got you!"

Ron pulled her off his back and stood her in front of him. "Yes you did Mrs. Stoppable. Here's your reward." Kim was rewarded quickly with a kiss from her husband.

They both would have stayed like that, but Ron had pulled away from their embrace. "Here it comes Kim. It's going to be all bright and shiny."

"Oh you lug head. You can be so cute." Kim tapped his chest lightly and snuggled up to him.

The sun rose just then, as if saying that it rose just to show that their love moved even the sun itself. It made the clouds below glow with its fired colors. And the world below, it too was set ablaze. All of it was beautiful from way up high. Kim and Ron enjoyed the view as they floated on their flying castle. Everything around was many shades of orange. It made the couple shine as a mirror to the sun.

"This place is wonderful Ron. It must have been hard tyo convince Shego to give this place up? You had Rufus help didn't you?"

"Well, you know how the Stoppable charm is. The ladies just swoon over my good looks." A stern look from Kim. "Okay, so Rufus helped. It's not my fault she likes him. He was the one who rehabilitated her from what Drakken did to her. But let's not talk about that horrible incident."

"All right, but you better be using that charm only on me from now on. You hear me?" Kim gave Ron a joking wave of her finger.

"Hey. No need for threats KP. I'm all yours." Ron pulled Kim into a hug.

"Um Ron... I know you love me a lot, but could you lessen your grip a bit." Kim was having hard time breathing; Ron's grip was tightening still. "Um Ron... Ron..."

Kim tried to get a response, but Ron didn't say anything. She felt her feet leave the floor. Now she was getting afraid.

'What's going on?' Kim felt herself being swung over the ledge. "Ron! What are you doing?!?! Ron!"

Suddenly Kim could breathe better, but it was on the way down to the earth below. "RON!" Her scream could be heard as she fell. The last thought on her mind was how Ron looked as she fell. He looked different. Angry, and still red from the sun even though everything else had turned back to normal. It was not Ron.

"RON?"

To Be Continued...
