Cold

Close your eyes, make a wish
That this could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is
That keeps us from each other now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

It had been a month and two days since that night, one month and two days since they last spoke to him. No one knew the real truth as to why they were not speaking, he even stopped going on missions with her. Even Wade stopped asking about him, every time his name was mentioned tears would prickle her eyes. So no one mentioned him anymore, Josh did not even question it. But the next time he saw Stoppable he would make him pay for hurting his Kimmie.

Kim distracted herself by throwing herself into planning the wedding. She wanted it as soon as possible and then she could leave behind her old life as Kim Possible and leave behind Ron Stoppable forever.

"Aren't these dresses gorgeous Monique?"

"Kim…"

"And yours will be a darker purple than the others."

"Kim…"

"And the flowers will have purple, white, and blue…"

"Kim!"

"What Monique? I'm trying to explain to my maid of honor my plans for the wedding."

"Yes a wedding your maid of honor thinks is heading for disaster."

"Monique! That is way harsh, Josh and I soul mates."

"No you are not, can't you see that Kim? Josh will never treasure you the way R…"

"Don't you dare say that name Monique, don't you dare."

"Why not Kim? Will saying it make you realize the mistake you are making?"

"You know nothing."

"What really happened that night Kim?"

"I told you Ron gave me an ultimatnium, it was either him or Josh and I chose Josh."

"You'd like to believe that wouldn't you Kim?"

"What are you trying to pull Monique?"

"Only that you are lying, it did not happen that way."

"And how would you know?"

"Because at three o'clock in the morning I got a visitor and he did not look good at all."

"Why?" she paled.

"His eyes were bloodshot and he reeked of cigarettes and cheap whiskey."

"Ron does not smoke or drink."

"Looks like you drove him to it."

"No…"

"And he kept muttering the same thing over and over 'could never love me' and he would burst into tears again until he finally feel asleep, nice job though making everyone we know hate him."

"Except you." She stated bitterly. "Yes except me because he needs a real friend."

"And you are saying I don't need a friend?"

"Well since you have successfully turned everyone against him, yes."

"How can you say that? How can you take his side?"

"Because if you would have opened your eyes long enough you would have seen Ron was willing to do anything and everything for you."

"Josh would too."

"Did Josh go looking for a special flower to keep you from disappearing forever? Did Josh ever go rampaging through all your enemies lairs so you could so you could get out of library detention and to think he almost gave up being the Middleton Mad dog because of you."

"What?" she gasped.

"Yeah you were so embarrassed by him and he did not want that so he was gonna quit until you finally came around."

"I know what you are trying to do Monique you are trying to make me feel guilty well it is not working. Whether you like it or not I am marrying Josh and if you do not support it then I will find someone else to be my maid of honor."

"Then you better because I refuse to be a part of this disaster." And with that said she stormed off.

"Fine!" Kim screamed, but Monique was already out of sight, she broke down into tears.

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you

"Kimmie are you ok?" her mother asked her later that night as she was going through seating arrangements for the wedding.

"Yeah mom, I am fine."

"Don't lie to me Kimberly Anne."

"Do you think I am making the right choice?"

"Of course honey, Josh is a lovely boy, very handsome."

"He is that." She sighed. "Answer me honestly mom did you think I would always marry Ron?"

"No dear, I did not think you would, but your father and I always hoped."

"Oh."

"But you love Josh and he makes you happy right?"

"Yes, very happy."

"Then you should know that you are doing the right thing."

"Monique does not think so."

"Oh?"

"She's not my maid of honor anymore."

"What happened?"

"She made it clear that she thinks this wedding is headed for disaster and I told her if she didn't like it then she should not be my maid of honor, and then she left."

"Oh Kimmie, come here." Kim collapsed willingly into her mother's arms, sobbing into her shoulder. It seemed like everything was crashing down around her and she was powerless to stop it.

That night she slept in fits, dreaming of her magical day with Josh, but every time she made it down the aisle Josh transformed into Ron. Her eyes would snap open, just before they kissed because even in her dreams she would not let Monique be right.

Kim knew she should have not come to this place, but it was on impulse and she would not sleep if she did not make her peace. As she neared the tree house, she heard voices and stopped.

"I love you Monique."

"You too Ron." Kim for reasons unknown felt her heart break, Monique just said those things so she could have Ron, she lied. But why did it matter? She had Josh and she was going to marry him no matter what. So she turned away from Monique and Ron, possibly forever.

Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside
There's gotta be a way you and I together now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

Kim brushed her long red hair as she stared in the mirror. Tomorrow she was getting married, no longer would she be Kim Possible, she would Kim Mankey, what she always dreamed of. She looked at a picture that she never removed from her old bedroom, a picture of herself and Ron. He had a wonderfully goofy smile and he was well…Ron. Ron who made her laugh, Ron who would do anything and everything for her, Ron would always be her best friend…Ron who… She gasped and dropped her hair brush, Monique was right she had always been right. She loved Ron, but now it was too late. As usual she was oblivious to the obvious. She would marry Josh and be happy…even if it hurt like hell. But she would never, ever forget Ron Stoppable.

"Oh Kimmie, you look absolutely beautiful." Her mother gushed as she sat the veil on top of her hair. "Josh is going to melt when he sees you."

"He sure is mom." She sighed.

"Kim, are you ok, you should be happier. It is your wedding day."

"I am mom, just nervous." She stared into the mirror, imagining Josh smiling at her as she walked down the aisle, but all she could see were chocolate brown eyes and a goofy smile.

"K, I am so glad you asked to be your maid of honor after Monique deserted you, I see you know who your real friends are."

"Yeah, your welcome Bonnie." Kim said absent mindly. This was not how it was suppose to be, Monique should have been there not Bonnie, and Ron…Ron should be the one in the other room not Josh. Suddenly she reached up and took off her veil letting it fall to the floor.

"Kim?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this, tell Josh I am so sorry, but I can't marry him."

"What?" Bonnie gasped. "Not marry Josh, like the hottest guy ever? Are you nuts?"

" Because I have finally come to my senses, I might be late, but I have to do this mom." Mrs. Dr. Possible wiped a tear from her eye and embraced her daughter tightly.

"I know, Kimmie, go get him."

"What? You are dropping Josh for Stoppable? How stupid can you be?"

"Stupid enough to have let you be my maid of honor." And then she took off her engagement ring and handed it to Bonnie. "Here give this to Josh because I know as soon as I leave you will be all over him like white on rice."

"How dare you…" But Kim did not care what Bonnie had to say, she was already out the door.

She ran as fast as she could, kicking off her shoes and pulling her dress up so she could cover more ground. She knew she must have looked silly running through Middleton with her wedding dress trailing behind her, but she did not care she needed to get to Ron.

It's an illusion how can I feel this way
(if I can't have you)
It's an illusion nothing is real this way
(if I can't have you)

"Kim?" Mrs. Stoppable was confused when she opened the door to find her son's ex best friend standing on her porch in a wedding dress.

"Mrs. Stoppable I know I am the last person you want to see, but I have to see your son." Mrs. Stoppable was silent for a long moment and Kim wondered if it was a good idea to come there.

"He is in the tree house."

"Thank you."

"And Kim?"

"Yes?"

"Please do not ever hurt him again."

"I won't Mrs. Stoppable, I promise." She then gathered up her dress and made her way to the tree house. She did not bother to let Ron know she was there, she just descended up the ladder.

"Monique? Is that you?"

"No." At the sound of her voice, Ron who was sitting on the couch wallowing in his own misery and nacos fell off when he saw her standing in her wedding dress.

"Kim?" he stuttered hardly believing she was really there. "Aren't you suppose to be getting married?"

"I was, but I finally realized and though I know it is already too late, I was going to get married to the wrong guy." He didn't say anything just like his mother for a long time, Kim knew she had waited too long and he was already lost to her. But suddenly something unexpected happened and he was up off the floor and drawing her into a bruising kiss. She completely melted into him and they held onto each other as if it were the end of the world. If they let go they would lose each other forever. Their lips moved as one and Kim could not believe how right this felt, how perfect it was, how this is what she wanted and needed all along. Finally though they had to pull away from each other, needing to breathe. "Ron I love you, I am sorry about everything, I am sorry I was so oblivious."

"It's ok Kim." He whispered. "I love you, I never did stop."

"Then what a perfect ending this is."

"No." he said and touched her cheek lightly. "It is a perfect beginning." She smiled and leaned into kiss him once more, cherishing this moment forever and always. She would not let him go this time, never again.

I can't let you go no
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you
