Hello everyone, Kenway here, sorry for the hiatus what with working two jobs. But now I`m back and I want to thank all of you for your patience and review. I decided to start a whole new story as both a continuation of We Danced and I Let Her Lie. Again I don`t own Kim Possible. I hope you enjoy it.

B: Thoughts

I: Speech

It was a beautiful evening here in Middleton, as the sun sets down for another day and while many are heading home to end the day, the night was just beginning for some people for today is the Middleton High School reunion of 2017, the event where all the seniors meet up with old friends and relive the memories of their high schools days to see how life treated them.

While everyone was excited for tonight, one man was nervous for tonight. Even though Ron Stoppable was happy to be able to see all of his old friends like Felix, Zita, Monique, the cheerleader squad and some of the football players, heck even Bonnie would be a pleasant sight, but just the thought of seeing 'her'there caused the young man to freak out on the inside. Just as he was shaking with worry, he felt a soft touch holding his hand and he looks down, he sees a woman`s hand holding his hand tenderly and he looks up to see his beautiful wife of 4 years, Tara Stoppable by his side.

"What`s wrong, love" She asked "Nothing wrong, why should there be anything wrong, I'm fine, yeah just fine yeah" Ron exclaimed while mildly panicking.

Now Tara knew her husband well enough to know he was nervous, plus he was a terrible liar. So with a knowing look and a raised eyebrow she spoke

"Ron, I know you`re nervous about tonight, especially if Kim decides to come today, Tara spoke noticing Ron flinching at the name but continues "yes I know she hurt her bad, but Ron the past is the past, you can`t let it bother you, look at what you have, a home, a great job, a wife who loves you and let's not forget the little one.

After Tara spoke, she place Ron`s hand on her slightly bulged belly to further her point as Ron can sense the movement of their child made by their love. Ron smiled; he and Tara had tried for a baby for a while now and just when they thought it was hopeless, their efforts were finally rewarded with a child on the way in 5 months. Ron looks at his wife lovingly, how he was blessed with such a wise, understanding and beautiful wife he`d never know, but he`d thanks the heavens every day for sending her to him.

As he gives her a passionate kiss, which she gladly responds, he leans his forehead on hers as he spoke "Thanks for the pep talk Tara, you always know the right thing to say and that's why I love you" She laugh slightly "I love you too Ron, now let's enjoy ourselves and see some of our friends while the night is young, ok."

As Tara takes his hand to lead him into the gym, Ron couldn`t help but feel worried about the inevitable reunion with his ex-girlfriend, he hasn`t seen or spoken to Kim since their break-up and he could imagine the awkward moment that would come should they meet again. He wondered how Kim would react if she ever saw him again, would she be angry at him for abandoning her and unleash 16 styles of Kung-Fu on him or would she be remorseful about what she had done to him and beg him to take her back? So many what if scenarios of Kim was enough to give Ron a headache, but he knew he couldn't avoid the issue forever.

So deep in thought of his trouble, he almost didn`t hear the loud booming voice of someone calling his name. "STOPPABLE, FRONT AND CENTER." With a jolt and shriek, Ron stood firm in attention while Tara was laughing at her husband`s antics. After his brief scare, Ron recognize the voice and look at the imposing figure in front of him standing by the front door of the gym as non-other than Mr. Barkin, though older and a speck of gray in his hair, but still as firm and commanding as ever.

"Mr. Barkin?" asked Ron "Observant as always, Stoppable and that's Principal Barkin to you." Barkin said in an exasperated but proud tone.

"Oh congratulations, Principal Barkin" Tara exclaims "Thank you, Ms. King and it's a pleasure to see one of my students doing so well."Mr. Barkin "It's Mrs. Stoppable now, Five years and strong and expecting" Tara proclaimed rather smugly as she placed her hands on her stomach.

"Well then, congratulations are in order to the both of you, I wish you both the best and Mrs. Stoppable I do hope you keep your husband in check, now go on in and enjoy your night." Mr. Barkin said. "Don`t worry, Sir I`ll keep him in check and you have a good night as well" Tara said bemused, while Ron gave her an annoyed look.

As they were walking in, Ron felt Mr. Barkin`s hand on his shoulder and turns around to see Mr. Barkin whispers near his ear "If you are worried about Ms. Possible, she's not here yet" and gives Ron a reassuring pat on the shoulder. Ron nods his head, mentally thanking Principal Barkin for the heads-up before catching up with his wife.

As the couple walk in, the party was in full swing, people talking up with old friends and asking how they doing and reminiscing about the old days, some are dancing with their love ones and some are just relaxing and enjoying the night away. One man with his wife went to greet the new arrival.

"Well, if it isn`t my old Zombie Mayhem smashing friend, Ron Stoppable, it's great to see you again" Ron look at the greeter and with joy, stated "Felix Renton, hey what`s up my man, it's great to see you again."

"Ron, it's great to see you again, oh you remember my wife, Zita Renton" Ron turns his attention from Felix to see his friend`s wife, Zita Flores, now Renton by his side. Now Ron can be dense at times but not in this case when he noticed that Felix is taller than Zita. "Felix, you're walking again, what, when, how!" Ron stated in an awe tone. Felix and Zita laughed at Ron exclamation and explained that they have been working and studying on Nano medicine at the Middleton Science Center to develop Nano robots that can repair damaged muscle tissues caused by physical trauma or defects and that they hope that this new treatment would help millions of people with disability and Felix volunteered to monitor on this new development to take note on any issues or mishap.

"Wow, that is incredible you two, I wish you both the best in your research" Tara said in awe at the two scientist. "Thanks Tara, it`s been hard, but Felix and I are proud of what we`ve accomplished and hopefully with more sponsors funding our research, we can really make a difference for everyone." Zita spoke fondly as she leans on her husband lovingly, which Felix replies with a kiss on her head. "Aww, you two are so cute together" Tara proclaims sweetly thinking about her own husband and how lucky she is. "Well, you two enjoy the rest of the night, it was great seeing you two and I wish you two the best." Felix said as he and Zita walk away to reminisce with their other classmates and as they walk away, both of them though the same thought, 'Good luck, Ron, you're going to need it.'

As the night progresses, Ron and Tara continue to talk with their old classmates and see how their lives were after high school: Ron Reagan joined the Air Force as a military drone pilot, Hope married with three children and works as a sales consultant, Justine Flanner works as a particle physicist at the Middleton Science Center, Josh Mankey became an fine art professor and father of two with his wife, Jessica who became a drama teacher in Upperton and Big Mike, Vinnie and Junior joined the Middleton police force.

But the most surprising was Bonnie who had a change in heart after high school. After the Lowardian invasion, the Seniors decided to quit the life of villainy and use their wealth to help those in need and Bonnie, who after seeing the destruction and loss made her realize how spoiled and mean-spirited she was, so she had vowed to change to help people. So Bonnie had promised that she would apologize to every person she was mean to and Ron was first on her list. To say Ron was shocked by Bonnie`s apology was a understatement as his jaw hung low. She then explain how after she married SeƱor Senior Jr, she and Junior started up the Hope of Middleton Charity for those who are in need in Middleton and they are expecting their first set of twins. To say Tara was excited for her best friend upcoming pregnancy was an understatement as she screamed in joy and fiercely hugs Bonnie and congratulates her.

While Tara interact with her cheerleader squad, Ron decide to grab a bite to eat from the refreshment table while still pondering on his inevitable meeting with Kim and what to say, he was so focused on his dilemma that he didn`t even notice the hand coming in and slapping him across the face. After his initial shock was over, he`d focus on who slapped him to see an angered Monique with a glint of unshed tears in her eyes and her hands making fists.

"Monique, hey it's good to see you"

"Oh, don't you even start with me Ron; you got some explaining to do. You disappear for 7 years with no note, no call or text and then out of the blues you just show up."

Ron spoke "I`m sorry, Monique but I just couldn`t stay with Kim after what she did to me." By then, Monique had calm down and no longer angry, though her tears had started falling

"I understand why you left Ron, I wouldn't blame you if you did, but I'm upset because you left without saying good bye to me, I mean I'm one of your best friends and you come back married and expecting a child, I mean you couldn`t sent me an invitation to your wedding or something, maybe call me so I wouldn't worried if you were ok or not."

Now Monique started crying and Ron, saddened by his decisions to not keep in contact with her came up and hugs Monique, comforting her and allowing her to cry out her frustration and relief that she had held all those years.

" I'm sorry, Monique, I truly am sorry, I wanted to invite you but I was afraid if I did, then you would tell Kim and I didn't want to face her yet, but that is no excuse, tell you what I`ll make it up for you, anything you want." Monique thought it over and with a teasing voice that spoke mischief

"Anything, even naming me the Godparent of your children"

"Uhh, sure Monique, you can even be my children`s godparent."

Monique slightly laughs and then paused dramatically as she sticks out her hand to indicate an imaginary banner "Hmm, Godmother Monique, it has a nice ring to it, I suppose it would have to do. Ok I accept your apology but you ever do that again and I`ll show you some GWA moves that even Pain King would be proud of." Ron laugh at Monique`s threat and then Monique join in before hugging each other as good friends.

When Ron ask if she has talk to Kim and how she was doing, Monique explained that she has not heard or seen Kim since her confrontation with her former BGF and how she felt bad about not talking him about Kim and Francis. Ron inform her that it wasn't her fault and it was Kim`s decision to cheat on him, though Monique still felt guilty.

"Still Ron, I knew about the relationship between the two and I should have said something so you wouldn`t have to go through the pain."

Ron then spoke "Monique, it would have been painful either way, but you know what, what`s done is done Monique if Kim didn`t want to listen, then you couldn`t do anything else she choose to do the deed, now she has to reap the consequences, yes I might not ever forget about it, but I moved on with a wife and a child on the way, Monique.

Monique look at Ron with awe on how much Ron has grown over the years and so with a hug. "I hope we keep in touch, Ron I wish you the best and I`ll be expecting news to when my godchild will be born." Ron hugs back and spoke "Thanks Monique, you take care and you`ll be the first to know." As the two friends went their separate ways, Ron grabs a plate and drink and return to his wife, who was sitting down and enjoying herself. As Ron sets down her plate, she notice the slight red mark on her husband`s cheek and worriedly ask Ron who did this to him, Ron reassured her and with a kiss on her forehead told her "Just an old friend who slapped some sense into me", leaving Tara confused, but smiling at her husband`s remark.

As the night was coming to a close, Ron excuse himself to get some fresh air and walk out of the gym, as the night sky was littered with stars and the night air flows, giving Ron some comfort as he remembers a night similar to tonight, the day that he and Kim went to the prom together as a couple after the Diablo incident. He still remembers the event like it was yesterday, it had been one of the greatest moments during high school, to be Kim Possible`s boyfriend, he still remember the way she look at him as she lean in to initiate their first kiss and he respond, it had been the best day of his life.

But now Ron had wondered if Kim wanted to go with him to prom as a rebound or she really did like him and he wish that he had never kissed her and ruining their friendship, but then if he didn`t, he never would have met Tara.

As Ron clears his head from all of these what-if questions, he heard a voice he recognizes but still haunts him. "Ron"

Yes, this will be a new story as a continuation of both stories. Now originally I was going to write two separate stories, but due to my work schedule I cannot find time to write my stories. But as I said before I will not abandon these stories, so this will be a three part story. Chapter One will be Ron`s struggle with the past. Chapter Two will be Kim`s part and what she has been through since their break up and then Chapter Three will be their Final Confrontation. Again thank you for all of your support and reviews.
