"Miss Possible, Scarlet Rose is ready for you now." Said a tall pink- haired woman. Kim bounced out of the chair and Ron trailed along behind her into the room. Scarlet was sitting at her piano looking solemnly at some old sheet music. "Scarlet? Kim Possible is here to see you." "Come in." she sniffled. After they entered Scarlet Rose shooed her manager away. Ron and Kim were shocked as they looked around the room. Her room was so nice. "Kim Possible." Scarlet smiled shaking Kim's hand. "Nice to meet you only I wish it was for a different occasion." Kim said gently.

"Hi I'm Ron." Ron said shyly and Scarlet smiled. "Please. sit down." Scarlet suggested pulling up some comfy chairs. "Have you retrieved my album?" "Not yet, but we came down here to talk to you first." Kim said as Scarlet checked her make-up in the mirror. Scarlet dropped the mirror and cried out, "Please return it to me right away!" "Don't worry, Drakken is cake for us." Ron boasted while gazing at her platinum blonde hair. "Listen, the album is one of my most prized possessions. Almost as valuable as my." "Sapphire brush?" Ron asked. "How did you know that? Oh! Press finds out everything these days!" She grumbled then rubbed her eye. "Please, please get it back."

Kim nodded confidently, "We will, but we were concerned about something." "Yes?" asked Scarlet as she skimmed through some old sheet music. "Well this guy who stole it, Drakken. He just doesn't seem like the type who would want something like that. You know he's the take-over-the- world type." "Oh dear!" Scarlet exclaimed in a frightened tone. "But he is so not likely to succeed." Kim assured her. "I hope so. But I just want my album back." "Well, we were just wondering if you had any idea why he'd steal it." Kim said finally. "You know --- like a grudge or over-obsessed fan. Something like that?" Ron asked hopefully. "I've never seen the man in my life." "Are you absolutely sure?" "Positive."

Kim got up from the chair. "Well that's all except one thing." "What is that?" asked Scarlet Rose standing up. "Can I get your autograph?" asked Kim politely. "Yeah me too!" Ron pleaded. Scarlet laughed, "Sure." The young blonde signed a curly signature in both Ron and Kim's books. "But can you do something else for me?" "Sure!" "Can you teach me Marshal Arts Kim?" She asked unexpectedly. "I want to be able to defend myself from characters like that Drakken dude." She explained. Kim thought a minute and shrugged. She was busy as a bee right now but she didn't want to turn her down. "Uhhh sure! No big!" "Thanks Kim!" The star gave her a quick little hug and shooed them out of the room while saying in a sing-song voice, "Hurry back!"
