Team Possible saves Christmas.

Kim finished dressing in her "Mission Gear", and looked her self over in the mirror. 'Want to look my best, this is going out all over the world on the Net' she thought to herself. She knew that Ron was waiting down stairs, and their ride from NORAD would be there shortly. Wade had been ecstatic when he told her and Ron about this mission. They had been on a date and Ron had again pulled out all the stops, getting them into one of the best restaurants in Middleton.
Then the Kimmunicator went off with its 4-tone sound. Kim pulled it out of her purse, pressing the button and said, "What's the sitch Wade?"
Wade, Team Possible's tech guru appeared on the screen.
"Kim, we just got a hit on the site. NORAD is asking for the whole team to host this years "Tracking Santa" event from Cheyenne Mountain." Wade looked like a kid trapped in a candy store. Kim smiled at Wade. Both her and Ron were in their late teens and engaged, but Wade was just 13 or 14. 'He really is a kid in the candy store' she thought.
"Wade" she said, "Ron and I were planning to spend Christmas Eve at my house with Mom and Dad".
"Kim, this is an honor to be asked to do this," replied Wade. Then Wade went into some history of the NORAD tradition. He explained that it started in 1955 with a misprint in a newspaper back when the Defense System was called CONAD. A Col. Harry Shoup got a call in the Operations Room from a girl in Colorado Springs asking the whereabouts of Santa.
Wade went on for a time. Kim could tell that he truly was hyped at the idea of doing this. In addition, looking over at Ron, she could she that he liked the idea too. 'Wade does so much for the Team, and never asks for anything', she thought. Looking at the screen, she asked, "What do you think Ron?"
Ron looked at his fiancé. He knew that Christmas was important to her. Her family celebrated with a large dinner Christmas Eve, and then opening of gifts Christmas Day. In addition, from the age of four, he had been a part of that celebration. Kim had always given him a present on Christmas day, and had given her one back too. In addition, a part of that tradition was Santa Claus.
He smiled at her and said, "I like it KP. Helping out, and all, that's what we do."
"Ok Wade, set it up and get back to us on the details ok", Kim told Wade. Both Ron and Kim could hear Wade yell "Booyah" as he closed the link.
Wade was back in an hour with most of the details.
As Kim come down stairs, she could hear the ride that Wade had setup with NORAD land in the street outside her house. The helicopter was still whining down when they walked out the front door, carrying their backpacks. After saying bye to Mr. and Ms Possible, Kim and Ron climbed aboard, strapped in, and the helicopter took off. Middleton was not that far from Cheyenne Mountain, and the ride was only about an hour. Team Possible spent the time getting to know the flight crew, and then some quality "them" time.
After landing just outside the NORAD complex, Kim and Ron went thru, the security checks and received their clearance to enter NORAD. They were taken to the main control room and introduced to Gen Robert Smith, the Commander of NORAD and Cheyenne Mountain.
"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Possible, Mr. Stoppable" he told them.
"And your Sir", Kim and Ron answered.
Gen. Smith gave them both a brief tour of the control room, with Kim reminding Ron to keep his hands in the pockets of the pants. Although Ron had grown up much after their Jr. Prom, he still could not help himself sometimes and had to press any button placed in front of him. On their last mission, after it was done, Ron had pressed some buttons on a console and blew up the base that they were in, just getting out in time. Losing his pants again in the process. The tour ended with the Tracking Santa Control Room.
This control room had a Ten-member team and was setting up the system. Looking around, Ron asked Gen. Smith where Wade was. As if that was his queue, Wade appeared on one of the large screens. "Hi Kim, Ron" he replied with a grin that looked big enough for a Mack truck. Ron just shook his head, whispered "should have known better".
Wade laughed, "I promise Ron, when you and Kim get married I'll be there in person." Both Ron and Kim had asked Wade to be Ron's best man at the wedding, and he had accepted agreeing to be there in person. Rufus had agreed to this, only after both Kim and Ron had explained to him that it would be a joint Best Man wedding.
Gen Smith told Team Possible that he had to leave, and turned them over to Commander Thomson and Lt. Wright. The two officers and Wade explained the system to Kim and Ron, going into details about how each of Team Possible would be giving live reports on the internet. After running through it a few times, Kim and Ron went into the break room to relax until the first report.
Starting about 10:00, the team made their first report.
For the next few hours, things went well. Kim, Ron, and Wade each gave a report, and they did one together. Lt. Wright and Commander Thomson commented on the good work. At about 1:00 am, right after Kim gave her report saying that Santa looked to be on schedule. After the camera was turned off, Kim and Ron moved over to one of the consoles that showed the progress of Santa. Kim, even after hours watching this console, could not get over the speed that he traveled. Wade was talking to one of the operators about one of the displays, and Ron moved over to Kim. Setting down, he leaned over to give her a kiss, when a flashing red light started to go off, followed by an alarm.
"Alert, alert, this is not a drill. We have a Code SD1, repeat we have a code SD1," screamed the siren.
Kim, and from the main monitor Wade, both looked at Ron. "Ron" both called out. Ron told both of them that he had not pressed any buttons on the console, even Rufus after climbing out of Ron's pocket and climbing to his shoulders said the same thing.
All the techs in the control room where moving to different stations checking on readings. Gen Smith ran into the room calling for a report.
"We have a Code SD1 Sir", was Commander Thomson's reply.
"Confirm that Commander."
"Confirmed Sir, we have a SD1," replied Lt Wright.
Gen. Smith turned to Team Possible, "We have a confirmed code SD1."
"What's that Gen.?" replied all three members of Team Possible.
"It means that something has happened to Santa. We do not yet know what has happed, but we have a procedure for this emergency. We should be contacted by his support team shortly."
