Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Confrontation
Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible, Street Hawk or Thunderbirds. Wish I did though.
Proposals and an Arrival
Three months after being abducted by the Hood and his gathering of villains, Monique Thompson and her new boyfriend Scott Tracy are on a date in Middleton, Colorado. Along with them are Ron and Kim Stoppable, along with Felix and Tara Renton. Hirotaka and Bonnie Rockwaller opted to stay at home with their twins, vowing to join them the next time around.
The three couples are at Bueno Nacho, where Ron, Scott and Felix are having a Naco eating contest. Kim, Monique and Tara are both stunned and repulsed by the guys' table manners. Making matters worse is Rufus keeping score on a big board. So far, Ron is in the lead, with Felix in a close second and Scott falling behind.
Scott then suddenly drops from the contest, saying, "I don't know where they put it all at, but I am out of room and the contest." Monique softly smiles at Scott to try and comfort him. She then reluctantly turns her head back to the contest and the scoreboard. She notices that Felix is catching up to Ron when he suddenly stops eating and starts gasping for air.
He then says, "I'm out of room! I yield to Ron!" Tara starts giggling in approval at Felix's decision and turns her attention to the board when Ron stops eating and suddenly lets out a thunderous belch, much louder than Kim's after she satisfied her craving.
He then says, "I don't know about you guys, but excuse me! I am now full. Rufus, what's the score, buddy?" Rufus turns the board and chitters happily at Ron, giving him a thumbs up. Ron whistles at the score and says, "45 Nacos. I must have been really hungry to eat them all."
Kim sighs with relief that the contest is finally over and says, "Next step is burning off those calories, Ron. We'll exercise in two hours, give your food time to digest so you won't get sick." Ron nods in agreement.
On the other side of town, Connie Rockwaller and Virgil Tracy are having a nice quiet dinner for two at a small Italian restaurant when Virgil leans over and blows Connie a kiss, causing Connie to blush massively. She has made good progress in learning the equipment in the Thunderbirds' usage and Virgil thought she could use a break to celebrate her progress.
He has a hidden agenda as well. This night, he's intending to propose marriage to Connie and is nervous as heck. Connie sees his face and asks, "Virgil, you all right?"
He nods and says, "Yeah, I'm okay Connie. Just a little nervous. This is the first time I've done this and hopefully the only time." He sums up his courage, gets up from the table, brings out a small box and hands it to Connie. He then nods for her to open it and takes a knee.
When Connie opens it, she gasps at the ring inside and looks at Virgil, a soft smile on his face. She smiles back, with tears in her eyes as he starts.
"Connie, since I met you, my life has gotten better. Even though my line of work is not run of the mill, it's been fulfilling. But it's also lonely. You changed all of that. So, I ask you, Connie Rockwaller. Will you marry me?"
Connie, tears falling freely from her eyes, replies, "Yes, I will, Virgil Tracy. You are a good, decent man. That's all I could want in a suitable man for a husband, potentially a good Father as well."
Virgil gets up off of the floor and slides the Ring onto Connie's finger, causing her to giggle and sob at the same time. The newly engaged couple then passionately embrace and kiss each other, not knowing that a similar scene is being played out at a movie theater.
At the Middleton Theater, Gordon Tracy and Lonnie Rockwaller are enjoying a comedy about a married couple that have dual lives as assassins, not knowing what the other is doing when away.
Lonnie looks over at Gordon and quietly asks, "Do you think couples actually wind up like that?"
Gordon merely shrugs and softly replies, "Can't really say off hand, Lonnie. Never actually pondered that question, given I've never been married before."
Lonnie nods, knowing exactly what Gordon meant. Time as a Thunderbird meant no time for relationships outside your family and co-workers.
Lonnie then softly says, "I understand, Gordon. But, if you could get married, would you?"
Gordon grins and turns her way, saying, "Actually, that's why we're here right now, Lonnie Rockwaller." He then gets out of his seat and proposes to her. Lonnie's shout of joy could be heard throughout the whole theater.
Lonnie, tears falling, having slightly regained her subtlety, softly says, "Yes, I will." She then pulls him into a massive kiss, amidst the cheers of the theatergoers.
At Middleton Airport, a Lear jet lands and off stops a distinguished gentleman and a pleasantly charming woman. The gentleman goes into the Airport terminal while the woman gets their bags from the jet.
He goes to the counter, produces the entry papers and says, "Baron Gregory Fiske and Zoey Martin, just now arriving here in Middleton."
The clerk examines the papers, stamps them, nods and says, "Here you go, Baron Fiske. Your entry papers are in order. How long will you be here in Middleton?"
Fiske replies, "Hopefully not very long. I'm on a fact-finding tour of sorts. However, I wouldn't mind seeing the sights around here. This town seems rather peaceful."
The clerk chuckles and says, "Oh, we get our fair share of excitement here. From Street Hawk jumping over a fence to catch a plane to storming a store to stop a hostage situation, there's hardly a dull moment around here."
Fiske nods and asks one more question, "Where can I find the newspaper Archives?"
"The local Library and possibly the Hall of Records as well. Maybe even the Courthouse. Depends on what kind of Archives you're looking for specifically."
Fiske nods and says, "Thank you, my good fellow. You've been most helpful."
The clerk merely shrugs and says, "I have my days and I only do what I can. Day in, day out, that's all there is, no more, no less. My boss, however, butters me up all the time and I just want to keep it low key. Keeps me from getting a swelled head at least."
Fiske smiles and says, "I understand where you're coming from, old chap. Keep up the good work." The clerk nods and smiles as Fiske walks away from the counter.
Fiske arrives at their rental car and Zoey asks, "What's the first stop, Gregory?"
"The finest eatery in Middleton. Then we go to a hotel and get some rest. The jet lag is terrible. At least the staff here are nice and hard-working, some even go as far to just be modest about their work. Very admirable trait that one fellow had. He'll go far in this world."
Back inside the terminal, the clerk sighs, resumes his letter and says, "I wish we didn't have to break up, Monique. But I understand you don't want anything happening to me, so I'm moving on with my life. I've broken off ties with my family, for they have shamed the Flagg name. That's all I can fit on this tape for right now. Hugs to you, Brick."
Brick Flagg cuts off the tape recorder, removes the tape and puts it into the case. He then gets a good sized envelope and puts the tape inside. He gets up from his work station and crosses the lobby as Fiske's rental car leaves the Airport. Brick then puts the small parcel into the Mailbox before clocking out.
Brick looks around the airport lobby, nods and walks out the door after greeting the next shift. He goes out to his Honda 750 motorcycle, starts it and leaves the complex. As he rides, he thinks about how he had come across it. He was hanging around one of his frequent haunts and saw it. He smiled at it and examined it. He then learned it was for sale and made contact with the owner. They hammered out the details and soon, Brick was the proud owner of a mechanical work of art.
Brick then learned it has a Hondamatic transmission. The transmission was Honda's brief attempt at an automatic transmission in the late 70's into early 80's. Despite it's usefulness, it's popularity was dubious at best, so Honda scrapped the project. But not before they manufactured enough motorcycles for them to be considered collector's items.
Brick snaps back to the present, grins comes to a stop and says, "I'm gonna miss you when I leave here. Maybe I'll leave you with Monique. I'm not sure off hand. But for now, I'll just put you in storage as we head to the house." With that, he drives the cycle to the storage lockers, puts the Honda into a locker and walks to the house the rest of the way. As he walks, he thinks about the reactions of his parents, shrugs and says, "Eh, fuck 'em. If they can't handle my departure or my desire for happiness, then to hell with them."
That said, he goes to the door, goes in and finds his parents waiting for him. He tells them his intents and they try telling him otherwise. Sure enough, he tells them off, telling them that if they really cared about him, they wouldn't have broken up his happiness with Monique. His Mother is aghast and his Father is honked, telling him that he needs to stay with them. Brick retorts that if he had wanted to stay, he wouldn't have decided to leave. At that, Brick goes up into his room and rests up for the rest of the night, his parents beating on the door, seeing as he had locked it. For the first time in months, Brick gets a sound sleep.
