If you asked a person in the know where Kublai Khan's Xanadu has gone…
They would tell you it's disguised as Mercedes.
A culinary paradise in Cosmopolitan Black and Violet Velvet with a Splash of Chrome…
That prided itself on being able to offer the World's Cuisine…
To anyone…
At an affordable price!
The Lord of this Paradise was VERY nervous however…
Because his Lady Fair was to show at the dedication…
SOON.
'Man! I hope she likes it. The reason for it… the restaurant I mean… She was… IS right. I NEEDED this. A place that gives me a chance to balance… get back to my roots. Someplace that's MINE. A place where I can just be Ron Stoppable, instead of 'The Avenger' or the head of a unit based on the original GJ's tactics and principles.' Ron thought as he nervously bustled about his new restaurant.
Ron accosted his new Maitre D' George Johnson, "Dude, is everything ready? She'll be here any…"
"Yes Sir. But I gotta tell ya Boss, the crowd outside's getting restless…" George replied as he looked over Ron's shoulder, "Uh don't look now Boss… but she's here." He said with a smile.
'CRAP!' "Ok. Here's what we'll do. You make sure…" he said as two strong, supple arms twined about Ron's waist from behind as his right ear was lovingly nipped, and a voice purred in his ear.
"Gotta go Boss!" George cried as he ran off to tinker with the sound equipment and the podium; while Betty Director nibbled on her prey.
"Wait! Don't… MMM! Hon… Ya GOTTA STOP!" he moaned as he wrapped his arms over hers, "Or I'm gonna have to DO somethin'… ohhh… about this here… mmm." 'She smells like Raspberries!'
"(Giggle!) Ok. I'll stop." She said as she stepped back and let Ron take in her outfit…
She wore a mid-thigh, rear slit, cocktail gown in Scarlet with a Black and Silver dash of color that ran from her right shoulder to left hip. It was complimented with a pair of dark argent hose and Scarlet and Platinum stilettos, and matching clutch purse.
Her hair was coiffed to perfection…
With the fairest hint of a streak of Jet in her Dark Chestnut Magenta locks to compliment her dress' decor…
Ron was dressed in basic black…
Turtleneck, Jeans, and Boots.
Together they made quite a pair…
"Wow! Uh… I thought it was casual tonight?" Ron said with a sheepish grin.
"You did. I wanted to look EXTRA special for my man tonight. Do You Like It?" she said as she struck a pose.
"Me Likey! Me likey LOTS. Uh Yes… Yes I DO." He said with a twinkle in his eye.
"Ma'am would you do me the Honor?" he asked as he crooked his arm.
"Why certainly Kind Sir!" she said as she linked hers with his and was escorted to his table.
Ron seated Betty, winked at George or as he liked to be called 'Henri'; who ran over to the entrance, opened the door and declared to the impatient crowd outside that they were open for business!

Ron walked up to the podium set before the tables…
"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen… and Colleagues…" Ron said as he recognized several guys and gals from his and other intel units in the audience, "Welcome to my humble establishment… Mercedes! We strive to make your dining experience an interesting one at ALL times. I got the idea for this bistro from a VERY good friend," Ron winks at a blushing Betty, "And decided to make it a reality… Hrrm! You could say that Mercedes represents what I found so enchanting about her… Sexy Class… Hidden Fire… Loyalty… Commitment… And That seductive Drop of Acid That I CAN'T Do Without. Folks Dig In and Enjoy!" Ron completed with a flourish.
Ron walked over to his private table and began to order…
"The lady and I will have the House Special tonight, Henri." He said.
"Thank You Sir. And May I Say That Mam'selle Is Exceptionally Radiant Tonight!" he said to a smiling Betty with a bow.
"Why thank you Henri!" she said coquettishly.
"Tonight M'sieu, Mam'selle the House Special is 'Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb with Pancetta and Chop-Chop Salad w Spicy French Dressing' and our Famous Mercedes Cheesecake for Dessert. Would the Lady like an appetizer?" Henri said.
"Yes. Kiki's Sweet and Spicy Marinated Shrimp, If You Please." She said with a gentle smile.
"Right away Miss!" and with that Henri ran off to joyously do her bidding!

Ron gazed upon one of the World's Sexiest, Intelligent Women. 'Man! She's… Gorgeous!'
"Hon. Thanks for the dedication. It's VERY Sweet, Just Like You. How'd… Where'd you get the idea?" she asked as she leaned on the table, chin in hand.
"Welll… KP got me started on this journey… and you helped me get this far… Partner." He said as he slid a small envelop onto the table with Murdock & Nelson's logo on it.
"Ron?" she whispered. 'What's he…'
'Open it and find out.' He sent.
It said:
Dear Ms Director,
As per our Client's wishes, You now own 49 percent of the establishment known as…
Mercedes.
Yours,
Matthew Murdock, Atty at Law
An Ocean of Tears formed…
"Ron. I can't accept this… I…" she wept as Ron reached across the table and held her hands in his…
"Betty… There's only one other person that went the distance to find me like you did and bring me back… KP. She's not here… but she'd agree that you deserve it. No one else worked as hard as you did to remind me that I CAN be forgiven… You taught me that I'm worthy of love and respect despite what's happened. Please take it." He said with Hound Dog Eyes.
'Damnit! You KNOW I CAN'T say no when you DO that!' "Ok Hon, but promise me I'll be a secret partner and I'm in." she said with her left pinkie extended.
"Done!" he cried as he linked his pinkie with hers just before Henri came over with their food. "Let's eat!"
The meal was worthy of Graham Kerr's notice.

Ron and Betty stood at the threshold to his bedroom…
He was dressed in black silks…
She in a silver, black and scarlet kimono.
He turned to his Lady Fair…
Scooped her up in his arms to an "OOOH!" from said Fair Maid…
And crossed the threshold with her in his arms…
Both entwined in a passionate Lover's kiss.
Ron kicked the door shut.

Several Hours Later…
Ron and Betty snuggled under a bearskin rug in front of his study's fireplace…
"Ron." She said as she gazed upon his content visage.
"Hm?" he replied as regarded her with smoky laughing slits.
"I Love You." She said as she snuggled tightly against his chest. "MMMm." She purred.
"I Love You Too…" He said as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead, nose and pouting lips, "Always."
Fin.
