Disclaimer: Well now this will be the first attempt at a serious story. Well as serious as I can get. Disney owns Kim Possible. I own umm not much.
To be Whole Again.
Chapter 1
(Ron)
It's been ten years since I've quit Team Possible. I was twenty, and I was tired of it all. Kim was the one for the spotlight and thrills. I was just there to help her. I just wasn't cut out for the hero biz. After leaving Kim to her life, I went on to college. I received two degrees. I majored in culinary arts and I went to film school. By chance I met my wife on a movie set. I went to high school with Tara but it took me so long to realize that she liked me. We dated after the film wrapped. That lead to marriage. I was twenty four, she was twenty three. It was a perfect relationship I loved her with every ounce of my being. Even when we found out that we couldn't have children because of her ovarian cancer. She was so brave during the chemo. Even when she lost her hair. I saw a trace of a tear when the last of her blonde locks fell out. But she kept a brave front. She lasted three years with the cancer. She died six months ago. I left LA unable to deal with the fact that everything reminded me of her.

I've been in this town ever since. Panama City Florida isn't that bad. Sure it's a bit of a tourist trap. But I like it here. I've been in the process of renovating a run down restaurant Once It's done, I'll open up my place. I plan on having a small club like environment With a restaurant in the back. I'll be able to have some fun while I play around with some new recipes. Anything to keep my mind off of her.

I've been in this town so long, yet I haven't explored it. I decided to hit the down town to see what's going on. There's a nice park with a coffee shop across the street. I sit and listen to a person read some poetry. It's pretty good, well for beatnik stuff. But hey at least he's brave enough to speak in front of people hopped up on caffeine. I guess I should go in. I open the door and suddenly I'm back in high school Is that who I think it is. Her voice confirms my suspensions. "Ron? Oh my god! It's been years." Said the unmistakable voice of Zita.

After college, I moved to this town with my broadcast journalism degree in hand. I worked at WJHJ a local NBC station for a couple of months. It was a good job but I wasn't making enough for rent. So I decided to get another job at Panama Java. In fact my nickname there was 'News Lady.' It was odd to say the least but it could be worse. I've been in this town for two years. I've dated off an on. But nothing stuck. The longest relationship was with a guy named Ricky. That was about three months. My life is spent playing Everlot 7 on the PC and watching my cat Toby get fatter.

I get out of bed and after a quick shower, I'm off to work. I'm going to the Java today. I'm off from the station. I'm dressed in my white shirt with a coffee bean on it and a pair of black jeans. That's the closet to a uniform that we have. I've been dealing with the usual morning people until I spot the some one I thought I'd never see. His hair is a bit longer, but his brown eyes are devoid of emotion. Like he's lost something great to him. I look up from the counter and say. "Ron?"
Author's note. OK so this is a bit of a tease. I'm trying to set the mood. I promise that the next chapters will be longer if Y'all like this. What I'm going for in this story. Is two lost souls seeking companionship in each other. Which starts as friendship and might lead to more. Hope you all liked this one. Please review and thank you for reading
