Stepping Up to Tomorrow
I Cross My Heart
Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's a breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So, let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
And if along the way, we find a day
It starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
A love as true as mine

Kim's head rested on the shoulder of her date for the Spring Fling. All of a sudden, a song she loves begins to play. She tightens her hold on her boyfriend and snuggles into his chest. He rubs her back, and dances with her pouring his heart out in each gentle movement. He sniffs her hair, smelling like cherries and vanilla, and her own body scent. Kim can hear his heart beat, and feel the heat of his body, through his suit.
These arms that hold her are as familiar to her as her own. Fore she has watched these arms grow from short, feeble children's arms into the long, mighty arms of a man. Through every trial and triumph, these arms have supported her in all of her special moments. When her grandpa passed away these arms were there to comfort her and hold her while she released her sorrow upon the world. When she made the cheer squad earlier this year, and voted captain within a month, these arms held her up as she celebrated her victory. Yes, these arms are strong, but they are feeble, whimsical when compared the character of this very same man.
Most people would wonder, why she insisted upon calling him a man, when he was barely even fourteen. Kim Possible may be only fourteen herself, but she has seen enough of the world to realize. It is not somebody's age that defines their maturity, it is the way they accept their experiences. Three months ago, Ronald Michael Stoppable defeated a monster at one of the places he feared the most. Yet, instead of letting that one success lead him into a false sense of superiority, he was humble about it. He realized, he was not living up to his full potential, and upon seeking guidance and advise from his friend and rabbi, Ron began a campaign of self-improvement.
Kim listens to his heart, she never cared about his skills, if he had done nothing, but remain the person she always knew. and could count on, she would love him so much. His heart beat strong and powerful, pumping life into the most important person in her life. Ron's heart is the strongest muscle he has, it has aided him in weathering the apathy of his parents, and still care so much about other people. He has suffered at the hands of bullies all his life, and even if he is scared, he never backs down or runs away. He is NO coward. If he were, he would never be able to go on missions with her. He has a moral compass that leaves her speechless, and does not waiver. His motto 'Never be Normal' is the backbone of his morality.
Kim steps back and looks in his eyes, "I love you, Ronald Michael Stoppable," before pulling his mouth down to hers, and kissing him with as much passion as her teenage heart can muster. He does not say it back to her, but returns her kiss with one as passionate as her own.
Later as he walks her home the Kimmunicator sounds its fateful tone. They look at each other and at a sigh and nod from Ron, Kim answers. "Go, Wade."
"Got a paying hit on the site, artifact retrieval," says the ten-year-old super-genius.
"Really from whom," Kim asks?
Wade checks his database, "Some British nobleman, he wants you to meet him in Cambodia tomorrow."
"Ah, coolio, what's his name, Wade," Ron asks?
Wade looks up and replies, "Lord Montgomery Fiske, Earl of Lincolnshire." Somehow the way Wade said the name gave it the ominous ring… of destiny.
The End
