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 3.
Ron sat alone at his desk, he began to write a letter to some one who will never receive it.
Dearest Tara,
I'm writing this to you knowing that you'll never get it. I've kept your memory alive in my heart for so long. I miss you so much. I made a promise to my self after you died that I would never love again. Even though you told me to find someone else. I've kept that promise that I made. But I feel like I'm not honoring you by doing your last wish. For the past few months I've felt more alive than ever. After I lost you I thought I'd never feel love again. But I'm falling for Zita. Tara what do I do? Do I just start dating her? Or do I keep your memory alive. Can I do both? I don't know? I just don't know.
Signed your loving husband
Ron
Ron folded up the letter and added it to a box stacked high with letters. He knew that it was pointless writing them. But did it anyway.

It had been two months since their conversation at the diner. Zita knew deep down in her heart that she longed for more than friendship with Ron. She felt this way about him since high school. She compared every male in her life to Ron. She tried to move on from what was just a simple crush. But she always longed for more from him. It pained her in knowing that she was moving from Middleton without him knowing what her heart and soul truly felt for him. And once again fate was being cruel to her. He was back in her life. But he was a shell of his former self. Zita knew that Ron would honor the memory of his wife. But their was always a glimmer of hope that he would fall for her again.
It was now less than two weeks before the grand opening of Boo-Yas. Zita and Ron agreed on the setup of the restaurant/club. During the day it would be a family type place with affordable meals and a spanking arcade. While at night it would be more semi elegant dining with a dance floor, that and a spanking arcade for the adult who was still a kid at heart. Zita had gone from working as a waitress at a coffee place and board opp at a tv station, to co-owner. She liked it. Her thoughts and revelry was interrupted by the sound of the phone.
"Hello?" She said because she forgot to check the caller I.D.
"Hey Zita, how are you?" Said the unmistakable voice of Ron.
"Good. I was just thinking about how my life has done a 180 since running into you." Zita said.
"Is that a good or bad thing?" Said Ron with a hint of nerves.
"Good, very good. I'm just glad that I have you in my life again." Zita said trying to make sure that Ron didn't take it the wrong way.
"Look, Um I've been doing a lot I mean a whole lot of thinking. And I was wondering if ummm, You'd like to, I mean with me, date? OK now I feel like I'm fifteen again and I'm asking out the prom queen. I'm drowning here aren't I?" She swore she hear the goofy grin in his voice.
"Are you sure? I mean do you think you're ready to date again?" Asked Zita making sure that she heard him right. Mustn't sound too happy. I'd defently date/marry/screw his brains out.
"I think I am. Just please say yes before I lose my nerve." Said Ron.
"Yes. You name the time and the place." Said Zita while she was jumping up and down in place. Her cat Toby was just looking at her like she had lost her mind.
"How about tomorrow at Mikatos say around seven?" Said Ron.
"I'll be there." Said Zita.
Author's note.
Ron's trying to get back on the horse. He's going to be rusty. I hope you like the direction I'm taking this. Thanks for reading.
