Chapter 8 - The Mission-Trip 2
(6pm, June 4, 2020)
The Humvee finally reached the Possible household.
"We will meet you on the transfer of the object on the 18th, Miss Possible!" Hux explained.
"Thanks for giving us the lift, General." Kim replied, with the box containin the classified object in her hands.
"And thanks for helping us make an emergency stop at the convenience store for nachos with jalapenos on them!" Ron exclaimed with cheese covering his mouth, munching on the nachos. "Rufus is enjoying them too!"
"Yes...whomever his name is." Hux replied.
Ron gave a low grunt. He does this whenever someone usually forgets his name.
Rufus was in the other tray that was filled with nacho cheese.
"Yummy!" he exclaimed, lapping up the cheese with his tongue.
"Let's head up to my room so that I can store the mystery object." Kim said as she approached the door and knocked it, hoping that her parents would answer.
"Can I possibly take a small peek, KP?" Ron asked with his hand completely covered with cheese.
"Uhhh...I'd hate to say this but access denied, Ron." Kim chuckled nervously, "Didn't you hear what the scientists said back at the base? Bad things will happen if that box is opened."
"Awww...man! That tanks!" Ron whined a little.
"Don't be such a downer, Ron!" Kim grinned while knocking on the door a second time. This time, James opened the door.
"Kimberly, Ronald, we need to meet with you in the den...right now!" he said urgently.
Kim and Ron looked at each other, confused about James' facial reactions.
"Okay, Dad, but I don't know where you're going with this..." Kim replied before she and Ron headed into the house.
"What about the...top-secret object thing?" Ron asked, pointing to the black box.
"I'll put it in the extra-strength titanium-steel safe in my room, change back into my overalls...and then see what Dad's ish is all about." Kim replied as she headed upstairs to hide the box and change clothes from her mission outfit.
(5 minutes later)
Ann and the Tweebs were in the den as well on the long sofa. She was in her usual labcoat work outfit.
The Tweebs were sitting on the left end of the sofa while Ann was on the right.
"I brought the boyfriend/girlfriend couple in!" James said to his wife as he escorted Kim and Ron into the room.
Kim was back in the striped croptop shirt and the baggy denim CB overalls with the left strap hooked and the right strap off.
"Ah, good. Everyone is here!" Ann insisted.
"Do you know about this?" Kim then asked her brothers.
"Don't ask us!" Jim began.
"Even we don't know what's going on here!" Tim added.
Kim and Ron took their seats in the middle of the sofa. The undone strap of Kim's overalls curled on the seat
"Okay, you two! What is going on here? Why are you standing like that?" she asked.
"We're going to make an important announcement, Kimmie-cub!" James proclaimed.
"Don't hide it, Dad!" Kim insisted.
" Me and your mother would like to reveal...that we are going on vacation!"
"Vacation?" Kim asked with a raised eyebrow.
"V-v-v-v-vacation?" Ron stuttered.
"What? Oh no...not now!" Kim groaned at the sight of her boyfriend.
"What's wrong with Ronald?" Jamess asked.
"Ron has not had the best experiences when it comes to vacations." Kim explained. "Especially with his 'rents."
Ron flashes back to the time where, at age 13, his parents stranded him at a gas station in the middle of Nevada during a rainstorm, to last year where he got swallowed by a whale while swimming in the Pacific, him getting his first ripped pants incident at age 12 at a Wild-West Style Town in South Dakota, him getting chased by bats at Yosemite, and him wetting the bed at age 10 during a stormy night in a creepy hotel in Arizona.
"Those are experiences I totally do not want to relive again..." Ron muttered.
"What about our vacations, Ronald?" James questioned.
"The Possible's vacays are soooo much better than my fam!" Ron explained, "Aside from a couple lost pant incidents, I've never had any problem with your trips!"
"Which is why we wanted to invite you along." James replied, "Since you and Kimberly are now boyfriend/girlfriend or BFGF as the kids say these days."
"Count me in, MrDrP!" Ron exclaimed, "As long as nothing sick and wrong happens!"
"Which brings me to my next question...which state are we going to for our family vacation?" Kim asked.
"The answer is very simple, Kimberly!" Ann exclaimed.
"The Possible family...and Ronald..."
Rufus then cleared his throat.
James quickly corrected himself. "...and Rufus...are going to Utah!"
"Utah?" Kim puzzingly questioned, "Why Utah of all places? Why not California, Florida, or Hawaii?"
"Because it was nearly 20 years ago, that is where I proposed to this lovely lady here!" James replied, nuzzling up to Ann and rubbing their cheeks together.
"Was that during that trip with the other guys of your group?" Ann asked.
"Ah, yes it was! With Ramesh and Chen!" James recalled. "It was about 2 years after that fateful science mixer dance when Drew created those crude Bebes. Me and Ann were growing closer and closer together after I graduated from MIST."
"And what a year it was!" Ann grinned. "I remember it as if it were yesterday!"
"Oh boy..." Jim muttered, "Here we go..."
"...with the flashbacks..." Tim concluded, groaning.
