You

She was the most beautiful girl he ever knew and the most caring. Her big green eyes and dark red hair could charm any man, hell it charmed him. But he was only the best friend, the compadre, never anything more than that. He told her how he felt at a party thrown by Bonnie, why they were there he could never actually remember. Anyways he really did not mean to tell her, not by free will that is. Brick had spiked the punch, and he drank a lot of that punch. So when he spotted her alone and not flirting with Mankey he suddenly had the courage to tell her everything he ever felt for her. She of course being Kim let him down as gently as possible, and told him she did love him, but not in the way he wanted. It hurt, but he was drunk so it barely registered. The next day he told her he didn't remember a thing from the night before and they had gone back to normal in an instant. Everything was peachy keen now except that it was not. He did remember, but he was not about to tell her that. So he went on as always as Kim's best friend and sidekick and he was really ok with that, well until the day Josh proposed.

I was young but I wasn't naive –

I watched helpless as you turned around to leave –

and still I have the pain I have to carry –

a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried –

after all this time –

I never thought we'd be here –

never thought we'd be here –

when my love for you was blind -

Of course she had said yes without even a second thought, and who had been the first person she called? Why her very best friend Ron Stoppable. He had almost choked on his own tears, but managed to give her a believable congratulations and a promise he'd be at the engagement dinner. So that is where he found himself now, dressed in a simple blue dress shirt and black pants. He was ready to face Kim, Josh, and their families at Chez Pierre. He did not want to go, but Kim was counting on him and he could not disappoint her because he loved her.

"Well Rufus, I am ready to let my heart break into even more pieces. Why did I ever think Kim could love me more than a friend. She has always had it for Monkey boy and I never could compete with him."

"Awww." Rufus sighed and patted Ron's hand.

"Don't feel sorry for me buddy as soon as she marries Josh she'll have no more room left for me and our already fading friendship will be a distant memory." He took one last look at himself in the mirror and sighed, he could not put it off any longer it was time.

Monique saw him as she waited outside Chez Pierre after Ron, Kim had called immediately called and asked her to be the maid of honor. She had accepted, but only because Kim was her friend, she always thought Kim would marry Ron, end of story.

"Ron, hey how are you?"

"Hey Mon." she sighed. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, but I asked you first."

"I'm fine really, Kim's my best friend and I am happy for her."

"Ron, you love her, you always have."

"But who was I kidding? I could have never competed with Josh, let's just go in and celebrate their happy night."

"Oh Ron, you are such a good person."

"Yeah I know, it's the story of my life." He sighed and followed Monique into the restaurant. The entire Possible and Mankey families were there and suddenly Ron felt sick. Kim was seated next to Josh, staring into his eyes, Ron did not know if he could stand it anymore or how in the hell was he going to make it through the night without cracking up. Kim looked up and saw them first, a bright smile crossed her face.

"Ron! Monique! I am so glad you are here!" she then rushed over and hugged Ron tightly. It took all the willpower he had in him not to cry.

but I couldn't make you see it –

couldn't make you see it –

that I loved you more than you'll ever know –

and part of me died when I let you go -

"Awww KP I am glad for you and Josh." She smiled at him once more then went to hug Monique. Ron knew he should say something to Josh, but he just didn't know if he could. Watching him with Kim, watching them together made his stomach churn. He had to deal with it though, he could not flake out now.

"Hey Mankey you better treat her right or I will come after you."

"Don't worry Stoppable." He laughed as if it were not a real threat. "I'll take good care of her." And to prove his point he kissed Kim's lips soundly. Ron wanted to hurl, but Monique placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and he thanked heaven she was there.

The dinner progressed like any other dinner, except for the fact that Kim and Josh kept making googly eyes at each other, Ron could hardly chew his food. One time he almost choked when he heard them talking about children luckily Monique caught this and slapped his back.

"Ron, are you ok?"

"Yeah KP, as good as always." He grinned a little more forced than he would have liked. Kim didn't notice but Monique did.

"Ron…" she hissed in his ear. "You may have fooled her, but you can't fool me."

"It's hard."

"I know." She soothed as she patted his back.

"Thanks Mon."

"Anytime and always."

Unbeknownst to them Kim was eyeing Monique and Ron with suspicion. She did not know why she was suddenly so jealous at how close they were. This was her engagement party and Ron had every right to be flirting with Monique…but then why did it bother her so much?

"Kim are you ok?"

"Fine Josh." She smiled. "Just overwhelmed."

"I know me too." She only wished she could stop thinking about Ron long enough to focus on her engagement to Josh.

As the night neared to the end Ron wondered why someone didn't just put him out his misery now. Dinner had come and gone and desert was through but they were all still here yapping about the location, the date, and yadda, yadda, yadda. He wanted to leave, but he knew everyone would stare as soon as he stood up. Ron was Kim's best friend and the best friend was obligated to stay. Finally though it came to an end and Ron could have not been happier.

"Come on Ron I'll walk you home."

"Thanks Monique, but I sorta wanna be alone."

"I understand." She smiled sadly. "It'll get better."

"I hope." He sighed.

"It will." She assured him with a kiss on a cheek and a wave goodbye.

Kim watched the exchange and tried to ignore the fact that is bothered her greatly that Monique had kissed Ron. It shouldn't bother her, Ron deserved to be happy, she should have been happy for him, for them. They were her best friends and had found each other, nothing was wrong with that, right? But for some strange reason it did matter and Ron being with Monique was not right and she had no idea why.

"Kim? Sweetie are you ok?"

"Fine, listen Josh I need to go talk to Monique, wedding plans you know."

"Of course honey." He smiled. "I'll see ya at home." And as he leaned into kiss her Kim wondered why she didn't tell him where she was really going.

I would fall asleep –

only in hopes of dreaming –

that everything would be like it was before –

but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting –

they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor –

after all this time –

I never thought we'd be here –

never thought we'd be here –

when my love for you was blind -

It was rather cold on the balmy summer night, but Ron guessed it was because he himself felt cold and alone. He could always find peace here though, peace with Kim… That was all over now, Kim would have no time for this place, not time for him.

"Ron?"

"Kim what are you doing here?"

"Can I come up?"

"You've never had to ask before."

"It's different now." Ron didn't answer her, but watched as she descended into the tree house.

"Ron…"

"Different how?"

"We're older now, more mature."

"And getting married." He muttered.

"Yes, getting married and in relationships."

"Only one of us is."

"But I thought you and Monique?"

"Monique is only my friend…" he sighed and then added ruefully. "Like you." And suddenly it hit Kim all at once, Ron was being like t?his because he had stronger feelings for her than just friendship.

"Ron…I…"

"Stop, I don't want your pity, I have never been able to compete with him."

"Don't be like this." She pleaded

"I only want you to be happy KP and if you are with him then so be it. I will always be your best friend."

"Oh Ron why didn't you say anything before?"

"Kim come on you nothing more than a sidekick, a friend."

"You're more than that."

"Don't flatter me Kim, I just want you to know I am happy for you."

"Ron…"

"You better go."

"How do you know I would have not chosen you?"

"I just do." He stated sadly. She looked at him, not sure of what to do. "Congratulations Kim." He whispered.

"Thank you." She said back, her voice cracking she had to leave now it was all too much. "Goodnight Ron."

"Wait Kim, just one more thing."

"What?" she hesitated at the ladder, waiting.

"I will never ever get the nerve to do this again, so I am going to."

"Do what?"

"This." And he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her fiercely and with a passion that could finally escape. To his amazement she kissed back just as fiercely. It was not until she moaned out his name in heated passion that is was going further than he ever imagined.

"Kim…KP." He breathed out as he pulled away from her. "You have to go, you're engaged. I just…well I wanted closure."

"Hell of a way to have closure."

"It takes two to tango Kim and you were just as involved as me."

"I was caught off guard."

"Bullshit, you felt something I know it."

"I am marrying Josh, I love Josh."

"Do you kiss Josh like you just kissed me?" She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She and Josh never held that much passion in one kiss, not like she and Ron just did. "No answer then."

"I love Josh." She repeated.

"Are you trying to convince me or yourself of that?"

"Stop acting like a snarky prick Ron Stoppable."

"Then stop hiding your feelings Kim Possible, you can do anything but admit that you are in love with your best friend!"

"No!." she hissed. " I could never love you." And that did it, that one statement broke the thinning rope that was holding up their already fading friendship. She instantly regretted saying them as soon as they left her lips.

"Then get out of here Kim, go be Mrs. Josh Mankey and see how happy you'll be." He sneered.

"Ron I…"

"Just Kim, I know what I mean to you now." She closed her eyes wishing she could take back those horrible words, but she could not.

"Goodbye Ron." He didn't say anything as she let out a sob and climbed down the ladder. It wasn't until she was well out of earshot that he did say something and even then it was a mere whisper in the wind.

but I couldn't make you see it –

couldn't make you see it –

that I loved you more than you will ever know –

and part of me died when I let you go –

"Goodbye Kim."
