A/N: the following story is a work of fiction. The characters from the Kim Possible Show, you know Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable and so on belong to the Disney Corporation and not to myself. If they did, I wouldn't be working in a stinking factory to make a living. I'd like to make money at this, but let's face it I'm not good enough. So stroke my ego and read it. Thanks.

I wish to thank CajunBear73 for his tireless efforts in trying to make me appear intelligent and at least semi-talented. I really do appreciate his hard work. I'd recommend him as someone else's beta, but I still have dibs with Screaming Phoenix. I want to thank Spectre666 as well, he makes me think hard and makes me defend my stories and how and why I wrote a certain way. When you have to be ready for that, you think it through a lot better, trust me on that. We have enough yes men in the world and he isn't one. Also thanks for the encouragement that other writers have given me and a great thanks to readers that have thought that the works that I have written so far are worth reading.

Thanks to CajunBear, Daccu65, Screaming Phoenix and Waveform for the reviews. I really appreciate them.

As for this story CaptainKodak observed you have to get through Good Friday before you can get to Easter. And I had to do it some way. So here it is.

Broken Promise

Chapter 3

Kim giggled and tried to swat her boyfriend's hands away. "Ronnie do you have a foot fetish?", she asked trying to sound harsh but utterly failing in the attempt.

"I have a Kimberly Possible fetish, if you must know," he replied.

After waking up he had given her a body massage, paying extra attention to her small feet. She had almost clawed her way out of the couch when he began sucking on her toes. The truth be told she was extremely happy about the little make out session that had ended a little earlier. She had taken off the jersey and revealed that she had a sports bra and panties on before he had started the rub down. And now she was completely relaxed. She had to work a shift at Club Banana and she knew he had his shift at the restaurant. At least he would be home by Two AM unless something else happened. 'It's a good thing the villains are staying low,', she mused.

---

Later that night she met him again in the tree house. "Honey, Nana is going back to the retirement community in a couple of days and Slim and Joss are heading back to Montana. So, we'll be able to cuddle at night again," she told her boyfriend.

"KP you I think our 'rents know what we've been doing up here and for the most part they're OK with it. But I don't want to throw it in your dad's face. He still thinks of you as four years old sometimes. So, I'm going to stay up here for a while longer, that way we can at least keep up appearances," he told his lover.

Kim Possible grudgingly agreed. She gave him a long and lingering kiss to give him something to think about She had a shift at Club Banana and she knew that he had to work at the restaurant. She had Ron's mom call the eatery and made sure that he would be off in afternoon so that they could all go out to dinner while Kim's relatives were in town.

After Kim got off her shift she went home to clean up, knowing that Ron wanted her to shower first from now on. Almost evening, Ron returned. She could tell he was beat. She already had his stuff laid out for the evening. She met him at the door, "Shower, now," Kim commanded. After a relaxing warm shower he returned and headed out to the tree house to change into the clothes Kim picked for him.

That night was fun, they talked and kidded each other. Joss made some comments that had Kim and Ron blushing. Slim wondered where his daughter learned those words. 'Ah guess I'd bettah have another talk with the boys at the ranch.', he mused. When it was over Ron hit the rack and was closing his eyes, when a small robed figure climbed the ladder.

Kim climbed onto the sofa with Ron again. He pulled her into a massive hug and gave her a warm kiss. "What am I going to do with you KP?", he asked.

"I'm not sure Ron, but I hope it's fun,", she replied with a giggle.

"Gah!", Kim cried out later, "You and your foot fetish. I wonder what people would think if they knew?"

"I told you before KP that I have a Kim Possible fetish. I'm satisfied with any part of you.", he confessed again softly, as he slid in to kiss her on the lips.

Later he looked over her, the moon shone on her bare shoulder. It was a little chilly so he pulled the blanket up tighter around her and snuggled closer to her back. She seemed to purr with the contact. 'My God she's beautiful.', he smiled. Ron rolled on his back and Kim nestled into his side with her head on his shoulder. Kim's hand rubbed his chest softly.

"I love you Ron Stoppable," she told him, "I really do want to spend my life with you."

In the morning Ron was up again early, today he had only an eight-hour shift and another eight hours at the restaurant when it was over.

Kim was getting ready for her shift at Club Banana when she saw he mom. "Kimmie it looks like what was in that vial that you gave me was indeed vitamins. Very high quality vitamins. I doubt that Tara would be hurt by those. They don't replace good food, they just add a lot into how well everything is digested. I'd explain it, but I don't want to 'gross' you out.", her mother told her.

"So it's safe to take them Mom?", she asked.

"Yes dear they are safe as long as you don't take too much of them. And remember that they don't replace good food.", her mom advised.

---

Kim headed in to Club Banana to work her early shift. She and Monique stocked the shelves and talked, it was almost like being paid to gab. They talked about their boyfriends and school.

"Mo, how are things going with Brick, you two make a real nice looking couple." she told her friend.

"I don't think it's going to last as long as you and your boyfriend.", Monique told Kim.

"What's the matter Mo?", Kim asked.

"Well in about a month and a half I'll be leaving for North Carolina. Brick will stay where he's at. He's so nice to look at along with all that 'other' stuff, it's been pretty good. We both know it's going to end. It won't be fun girlfriend, but we're both realists.", Monique confessed to her best friend.

"I'm...I'm so sorry Mo. Are you sure? I don't know what I'd do if Ron and me broke up. It would be the biggest nightmare ever.", Kim gasped giving her friend a hug.

They worked together until the fashion store opened up. At lunch Kim had to take her lunch early so that they could cover each other.

Walking a little ways down the mall Kim went into Bueno Nacho for a salad. She spotted Tara and Josh sitting together again. Kim got her order and joined them.

She noticed that Tara and Josh both poured the liquid into their drinks from vials like the one that Josh had given her a couple days earlier.

"Well what did you mom have to say about our vitamins Kim?", Josh asked.

"Mom said that they were very good vitamins Josh.", she admitted.

"Want some?", Josh asked.

"Sure. As long as they're safe, why not.", she replied.

Josh handed her a vial and Kim poured the contents into her drink and began to sip it.

Kim returned to work and relieved Monique. She kept her mind on how she was feeling just in case. When she went home for the night she had her mother draw a blood sample to make sure it was normal.

---

Kim was worried about her boyfriend. She knew they still had some issues and that they needed to talk them out. She wanted to discuss why he turned blue and felt that she had given him enough time to talk about it.

She had already talked to Ron's parents. She made them aware that she needed some time with him alone, just doing things. With Kim watching, Mrs. Stoppable called Smarty Mart and told them that they expected Ron home for a few days to babysit Hanna while she and her husband were out of town. She then called the restaurant and had the same conversation. "See Kimberly, all you have to do is know how to talk to people. Ron now has a few days off. Oh my, I just remembered my business trip was cancelled.", Barb said with a laugh.

When Ron got home late that night, he stumbled inside to grab a shower. After he climbed in he suddenly noticed through his exhausted mind that someone was washing his back. Turning around he realized his girlfriend was now washing his chest and she was dressed in almost as much clothing as he was. 'I am wearing my watch.', he mused, noticing that she wasn't. He returned the favor and they got out and dried off. Putting on robes, Kim pulled him into his room. "Tonight Ronald Stoppable you are going to sleep in a real bed for a change. So get into bed....now.", Kim ordered as she pushed him towards the inviting mattress.

"But KP.", he tried to protest, "You're Mom and Dad...."

"Shut up and get in.", she ordered again.

"But our pajamas.", he protested.

"You weren't worried about them last night...In.", she told him holding back the covers.

Ron did as ordered and quietly slid under the covers as his lover slid in beside him. "Go to sleep honey. You've got a few days off. Now let's get some sleep.", she told him.

"Thanks KP, I love you.", he told her.

A few hours later Kim woke. She had rolled away from Ron earlier and felt there was something bothering him. She could feel him gasping and shaking in his sleep. She rolled over to face her man. He was obviously having a nightmare. She touched him softly, "It's alright honey. I'm here with you. I'll always be here for you.". She pulled him into a hug. After a little while he calmed down. 'How many times has that happened to him. Nobody knows, I wonder if Ron even knows?', she thought, 'Well tomorrow we're going to have a talk. Maybe we'll get some things straight.'

The rest of the night passed quietly after the bad dream ran its course.

In the morning Ron woke up to a pair of green eyes staring at him. "Morning honey.", he told her.

"Morning Ronnie, how did you sleep?", she asked

"Pretty good KP, I had a funny dream though.", he told her.

"It was a full blown nightmare Ron. Are you OK?", she asked.

"I've been having them once in a while since I was stuck on that mountain. I'm not sure why.", he told her.

"Can you remember it Ron?", she asked him.

"Well kinda, but it's not important anyway.", he replied.

"Can you tell me?", she asked.

"KP it's not that important.", he insisted.

"If it wasn't you wouldn't be having the nightmare Ronnie.", she explained. "Please tell me?', she pleaded.

"KP it's not that import.....don't tell me puppy dog pout?", he asked. Looking up he uttered."GAH! OK I'll talk."

"OK, so spill.", she told him.

"I keep having a nightmare about you finding another guy.", he told her.

"Ron that is sooo dumb, why would I go and do that?", she asked.

"I don't know honey.", he moaned.

"OK...OK Ron. You know that I'm going to be with you. Is that clear?", she asked again.

"Yeah KP. I must be a real loser thinking that anyone could ever make you change your mind.", he told her.

"YOU are NOT a LOSER Ronald! Remember that. Now there's something else we need to discuss, but I want to do it in private because I'm not sure how to ask it. How about let's get some Hanna cuddle time and then go to the lake for a picnic later.", she asked.

"Sure KP, anything you want.", he told her.

"I'll take you up on that later.', she told him vaulting out of the bed. "Dibs on the shower.", she called with a laugh.

Ron chuckled to himself, 'What have I gotten myself into?' Quickly he dressed and went in search of the pint sized dynamo.

Finishing, Kim went to look for her boyfriend. She found Ron feeding his little sister her breakfast. It looked like Ron was wearing as much of her food as he had gotten her to eat. 'What I would pay for a camera right now.', she thought. Suddenly there was a flash. Mrs. Stoppable had already thought the same thing and knew where to find the device. Kim turned and looked with a smile. Barbara returned the smile with a wink.

Finally Ron finished up and was trying to clean the baby that was bent on her own version of causing mayhem. Kim decided to take over. "Come here Hanna, let your big sister play with you, Ron....ewww go get cleaned up.", she announced.

Ron did as obeyed.

"Mrs. S?", Kim asked while holding the baby.

"Yes dear.", was the reply.

"You know Ron's been having nightmares?", Kim told the older woman.

"Yes dear, we know. He's been having them off and on for over a year. If it was causing any obvious problems we'd seek help. We offered to help and Ronnie turned us down. In some ways he's a very private person.", she told the redhead.

"Well he had another one last night. I sorta calmed him down.", Kim told her

"Thank you Kimberly, don't worry all the parents know and approve about...well you know, even your father. Anne got him to finally ditch the black hole threats. NOW that did bother Ron.", they both burst out laughing.

"So what are you two doing today?", Barb asked.

"Well I think Ron needs a little lake time and a chance to see me in my new bikini. I don't know if it will affect the nightmares, but it sure couldn't hurt.", she confessed.

"OK do you want me to pack a lunch for you?", Mrs. Stoppable asked.

"Thanks Mrs. S, but I think I'll have Ron do it while I help.", she told the older woman noticing the sudden fear in her eyes, "I'll just pack the things away in the basket while Ronnie prepares them.", she clarified.

"Sorry Kimberly I just....well you know.", she said.

"I understand, my reputation in the kitchen is pretty well known all the way around Middleton.", Kim replied.

---

They drove out to the lake in Ron's car. It was a nice warm day, Kim Possible knew something was going on with Ron and wanted to find out what it was before it had a chance to ruin their relationship. Kim had learned firsthand the consequences of lying and applied them to keeping secrets as well. The only ones she kept from Ron were ones dealing with Global Justice.

They had made her promise not to tell some things she knew to anyone else. Ron never pried into that information. The problem was that Kim was pretty sure that Ron had no need to keep anything from her.

Kim carried the blanket from the car while Ron carried lunch and the rest of their things. Kim found the place she wanted and set the blanket and rolled it out. 'Hmmmm, just big enough for us to sunbathe for awhile together. Now let's see how he likes my new suit.', she mused with an evil smile. Taking her time she wanted to gauge his interest. Looking down after a couple of minutes she was satisfied that she had his attention. "You like Ronnie?". Kim asked coyly.

For a minute all he could do was nod. Finally he shook his head. "KP are you sure that is legal? I mean you can rent yourself out to check to see if a guy's heart is bad. They won't have to used stress tests on us men anymore. Just have you show up in that, but then they'd better have a Code Blue cart on hand.", he told her.

"So you like?", she asked again, "I mean you've seen me in less."

"But not by much and not in public.", Ron told her truthfully.

"OK then lover rub some of that sun block on me so that I won't burn too bad.", Kim commanded.

"Yes Ma'am, as you wish Kimila.", he answered with a quick salute.

And he did as instructed first warming the lotion in his over large paws. "Don't you dare put that on col......ahhhhh.", she moaned as he worked the lotion into her back and shoulders. He pulled her hair aside and made sure her neck was covered then worked his way down her legs. Ron Stoppable took his time and worked the sun block in very well while massaging her muscles underneath. After he was finished he covered himself as best he could since his girlfriend was now napping. Looking down at the prone form he decided to go back and get a beach umbrella. He returned setting it up to go them a little relief from the sun that was almost over head. 'I want to hold her tonight. If she gets burned it won't be possible.', he smiled and as he laid back down next to her.

Later she was awake and wanted some water time. "Come on Ronnie, I'll race ya to the water.", she challenged.

She beat him there, but it was mostly because he had been asleep when she decided to swim. They spent a couple of hours in the water playing like kids sometimes, playing like adults others. Ron was finally getting hungry.

"KP, how about getting out and eating, Honey. It's a bit late and your lips are blue, it's a wonder you're not shivering.", he told her.

Getting back Ron dried off his girlfriend. Kim offered to do the same for him, but he declined saying that he wasn't cold from the swim. He made her sit down and put the food out.

Later after they were done and many of the other beachgoers had left, Kim knew that the time was right to have their talk.

"Honey?", Kim began, "There's something that's been bothering you. And I think that it bothers me too. I think it's time to talk about it."

"KP what do you mean, are you gonna break up with me?", Ron asked worriedly.

"No Ronnie, it's not like that. You've been having nightmares about me leaving you right?", she asked.

"Yeah KP, I guess that's my biggest fear.", he told her.

"Well I'm not. How many times do I have to tell you that I wanna be Mrs. Ronald Stoppable. You gave me the promise ring, we made a promise to each other. I plan to keep mine as long as I'm alive. I don't know what more I can do other than marry you this minute Ronnie. If I did our 'rents would freak. I mean they may be OK with us playing around, but I think they would like for us to be a little older and maybe finish college before we tie the knot.", she explained.

"I know KP. I know you love me as much as I love you and we're gonna be together and all. It's just a feeling that I can't throw off.", Ron told her.

"That was one thing Ron. There's another. I know what you did to Warmonga and her significant other. I saw you turn blue and float. How did you learn to do that? I covered it up with Dr. Director, but eventually she'll find out. Is it going to hurt our babies or me? Will it hurt Mom and Dad or the tweebs? How about Hanna and your 'rents? What about Rufus?", she added, watching Ron flinch at the mention of the mole rat.

Ron hung his head. "I can't tell you KP about the glow, I'm sorry you saw that. What I can tell you is that somehow what causes the glow has been around me for years. If it was going to cause trouble I think it would have by now. All it means is that I'm maturing and am better able at doing certain things. I made promises just like some of those you made to Global Justice that you can't tell me about. You know the ones about how Dementor always goes after the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer. And how we always find out for the most part about what Shego and Dr. D had been up too. Also, I made promises. If I broke those many people could be hurt even your family. I'm sorry KP, I'll ask to be released from my promise Honey, but if they say no there's not a lot I can do.", he told her.

"OK honey, find out from whomever you made your promises to. I would like to know before we exchange bands. Please don't make me wait until I'm an old maid.", she asked.

"I will Honey. I'll try tonight, but I can't do it with you. You're a distracting kind of girl.", he smirked.

He looked at the phone numbers that he needed to call. Josh quickly dailed the first one. "Coach Anderson, this is Ronald Stoppable.... Thank you sir. I have the offer and everything, but I have to be truthful to you. My main purpose is to be Kim Possible's sidekick. If a mission comes up, even if it's the most important game of the year, I would still have to take the mission instead of the game...Yes sir that's how important her safety is to me. Yes sir, I understand thanks for the offer anyway." 'Gee I guess Stoppable was good at something after all.', he thought as he began dialing the next number.
