KP in Ron's Halloween

AN: Ron has another Halloween as per tradition with her, or does he? Ron has another Halloween that he's looking forward to after that last one where he had Roachie help him. However this time he had to promise up and down that he would NOT pull a trick like that again or he would not get any treats from her for a very, very long time! This is that Halloween, or is it?

Chapter F: Forget Me Not

Ron simply could not believe it! The woman in front of him just simply smiled at him as she waited for him to say something in response to his question.

In truth, the woman was amused by Ron. She simply could not believe such a nice, funny and cute guy like him existed in town but then she wonders, why she had not seen him before? True, she had led a somewhat sheltered life but for some reason she never found a reason to travel very far as if something was holding her back a drive, a reason to do more even though she was certain she could do anything if she truly put her mind to it.

Ron says, "How... how is this possible?" As he stares at the woman before him. He thinks, "This can't be! Is this what Kim meant in the wind?"

The woman says, "I'm afraid I simply don't understand your question."

Ron says, "You... how can you exist? Why do you live in this spooky house?"

The woman says, "I was born and raised just as yourself." She pauses to look around the room before she says, "I don't think this place is spooky. I find it quite comfortable for a castle in England."

Ron's eyes go wide as he thinks, "ENGLAND?? Wait... Kim did tell me that her family originally came to America from England because... I can't remember... it was so long ago since she told me."

He realizes that he has been staring at her before he says the only thing he can think of, "So... we're in England?" He remembered that castle he had been and at the time he'd thought he was in Ireland because of his experiences with Duff Killigan but he supposed that it could have been in England too. All castles looked a bit alike to him after all but this little bit only seemed to raise even more questions in his mind.

Ron says, "Are you going to America?" A part of him wanted to go back home to America but he simply didn't know how he was going to do that without some kind of help.

The woman who looked so much like his Kim looks at him with a puzzled expression as she says, "America? Why would I go there? I don't know anyone over there and from what I've heard it is quite a wild place. Certainly no place for a single woman like myself to go."

Ron scratches at the back of his head and thinks, "Ok... this is definitely a 20 on the weirdness scale." He says, "Um... ah, I am from America and to be honest I'm not sure how I ended up here."

The woman reaches out and puts her hand on top of his other hand, which was laying upon the blanket and says, "Don't worry, you can stay for as long as you like."

There was something about the way her green eyes looked so much like Kim's when she was longing for something or someone to talk to. Ron couldn't quite put his finger on it but he felt almost as if she was peering into his very heart and soul with a yearning for more. All this made him very uncomfortable as he tried to refocus on what he was trying to do, which was bring back Kim or at least help her soul somehow.

The woman says, "It can get lonely her sometimes since I live in this house all by myself, and aside from a few people who help me to maintain it or bring me food, I am afraid that I don't get out much. I am so shy...I am not really a strong woman." She retracts her hand from Ron's and brings it up to hold her hands before her with her eyes looking so sad as they look downward. After a few moments of silence she says, "I don't have many friends and those who are my friends, I know I'd do anything for."

Ron thinks, "She's so shy and yet she has a buried, untapped strength in her. I wonder why she's never used it?" He says, "Don't you ever wonder what's out there? There is a whole world out there for exploring and where I lived in Middleton, there was always such magic." He then stops as he realizes that he'd been talking about the Middleton of the past, the one where Kim had lived in. Perhaps it was because of the way the woman reminded him of Kim so much, and not just in physical resemblance but also the way she looked when he had looked into her eyes.

The woman looks up at him and says, "Middleton? Is that your town? It sounds... so nice." The warm smile that she sends his way has the desired effect as Ron sees it and smiles back in return with the goofy smile that she'd come to enjoy in the short time she'd known him. She thinks, "He is so handsome, and those big ears of his are so cute.

Ron nods as he says, "Yes, it is... was a wonderful place so full of life, wonders, and magic. I miss it, especially now because I miss my friend."

The woman says, "Sounds like a place I'd like to visit one day."

Ron thinks, "Maybe you will, I don't remember or not if you do or if it was someone else from your family." He then surprised himself by asking, "Why don't you ever leave the house? You seem like someone who can do anything she wants."

She looks away and says, "I..." She pauses and bites her lower lip which, again reminded him so much of Kim before she continues, "truth be told, I am scared. I don't feel like I can do anything in this big and frightening world by myself."

Ron looks at her in surprise and says as he says without even thinking, "What about the "Anything is possible for a Possible" motto?"

The woman looks at him with surprise before she smiles and says, "I've never heard of that before but I like it... it is catchy."

Ron says as he smiles, "Yeah, it was always one of my favorites. I love to hear it but it has been some time..." His smile fades as he thinks about Kim Possible, the woman who always said that and up until the accident, he believed that she truly could do anything she wanted any always wanted to lend his strength and support to help her achieve it.

The woman sees the sadness and her heart went out to him. She couldn't understand why, but there was something about the blond guy that touched and made her feel close to him, like she wanted to do anything in the whole world for him which, made her think about that motto he said and it was then that she knew she'd never forget it.

AN: Well everyone, here is yet another chapter in Ron's Halloween and there is only a few left to go before it is ALL over! The final chapter should be Chapter H if things go right with my writing schedule. While I bet that most of you by now have an idea of what's going on at this point, just remember I have and will throw you complete curveballs just when you think you've figured it out.GRIN! So, what do you all think of the woman? Is she a relative of Kim's? Is she Kim brainwashed? How will Ron get back home to America when he's in England? What does all this have to do with Kim's accident? All these questions and more will be answered by the final chapter. What do you all think of the story so far? What do you think of Ron and the mystery woman? Any thoughts? As usual all thoughts, ideas, magical potions, fairy powder, magic lamps and more will all be happily accepted.

Next Chapter Preview: Chapter G will cover more from POV and things change a bit for the woman as well. You will finally learn her full name. Ron meets a nightmare. Any more than that and I'd have to put up a spoiler alert, not that I'm sure most of you wouldn't want me to spoil it, there are a few I imagine that would rather read it than guess from my spoilers. Next tentative update for Chapter G will be around the 28/29th. Again, Chapter H should be the last chapter if I can finish it on time for a posting on Oct 31st, though technically right around midnight of the 30th so expect to see it by then!
