Ron walked to Kim's house with mixed emotions. On one hand, he had just helped "Usher" yesterday by molding his dorky persona into a slightly cooler, more acceptable date for Kim. It took a lot of work to change Eugene into what he was going to be today, and it would be a shame if all that hard work went to waste by one bad date. On the other hand, Ron secretly hoped that Usher would fail to impress Kim. Thus, leaving the door open for "other" guys…but then again, it's not like he cared…

Ron knocked on the Possible front door.

"It's open Ron!" Mrs. Possible yelled from the kitchen.

Ron opened the door and locked it before heading to Kim's room. He had almost forgot that he promised to keep Kim's date on the low. Even if it meant embarrassing himself in public to keep attention away from Kim and "Usher", Ron was ready to help Kim at any moment. Hopefully, she would realize how loyal of a "friend" he could be…again, it's not like he cared…

Kim's door was closed, but he turned the doorknob to find that it wasn't locked.

'I wonder why she closed the door when she's supposed to be getting ready for-'

"AHHHHHHH!!!"

"AHHHHHHH!!!"

Ron quickly covered his eyes and turned beet red.

"Ron!!! Have you ever heard of knocking!?" Kim yelled as she covered her undergarments with her blanket.

"I…I…" Ron sputtered.

"Out!! I'm getting dressed!! Out!!!" Kim threw a pillow at Ron before he shut the door as fast as he could. Rufus opened his eyes, too, and grumbled something to Ron. It sounded something like, "purffurrt"…

"Sorry!" Ron yelled through the other side of Kim's door. Kim groaned then yelled back, "Just…could you wait downstairs??"

"Yeah sure, KP."

Ron almost stumbled down the steps on his way to the living room. He couldn't get that image out of his head…

'So…beautiful…yet…so…wrong…but…so……HOT…yet…so……frickin' hot!!…'

His head was in a daze that even Rufus couldn't snap him out of.

'Man…I shouldn't of done that. It was an accident but now she probably thinks I'm some kind of pervert………funny…I never took Kim for the "thong" type…'

While Ron sat and day dreamed about Kim on the couch, Rufus took the opportunity to go play with Jim and Tim.

Ron was way too far in thought to notice this. 'I never realized how… attr… attract…att…attractive Kim could be…when did she get that beautiful bod??? That gorgeous hair…NO!! What am I saying??? I'm fantasizing about Kim, here…she's my best friend. She can't possibly…'

Just then another mental image popped into Ron's weak-minded thoughts.

'Look…soo…'

Ron slapped himself.

'NO! She's ugly! Ugly!! She hasn't changed since pre-school when I…had a crush on her when we first met…'

Ron slapped himself again. Mrs. Possible entered the doorway early enough to see Ron slap himself twice for no apparent reason.

'NO!!! No one in their right mind would ever fall for the head…cheerleader…? No, wait…ARGH! I can't even think straight!'

Ron slapped himself once more.

"Ron!" Mrs. Possible called. Ron turned his head in surprise. He blushed when he realized how stupid he looked.

"I was just-"

"Uh-huh. Yeah. Just make sure you don't kill yourself, okay?" she turned and walked back to the kitchen.

"No! Mrs. Doctor P!!! …Okay, that's TWO members of the Possible family that I just embarrassed myself in front of. I suppose Mr. Possible will walk in right now and find out that I just saw his daughter in her underwear…"

"You WHAT???"

"Man…"

*********************************************************

"Hey, Rufus!" Jim called.

"What's up?" Tim asked.

Rufus spoke up. "Ron. Kim. Date."

The twins gasped.

"No!"

"Don't tell us-"

"-Ron's gone to the dark side-"

"-and he's dating our sister!"

Rufus shook his head. "No."

The 'tweebs' breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh. For a second there-"

"-we thought that Ron had the hots for Kim…"

Rufus shrugged. Even he didn't know if that was true or not. He didn't feel like arguing, though.

"Well what's Ron doing here then?" Tim asked.

"We thought Kim had a date tonight," Jim added.

Rufus squeaked, "Follow Kim."

"What???"

"Why??"

"If we didn't know any better-"

"-we would think that Ron was coming to make sure Kim didn't do anything stupid."

"Like a boyfriend!"

"Ewww!!" the tweebs agreed.

Again, all Rufus could do was shrug. The tweebs looked at each other and gave each other a nod as if they were speaking in some kind of secret language.

Jim spoke up. "Rufus, don't tell Ron that we're gonna follow him tonight."

"HUH??" Rufus squeaked.

"Don't ask."

"We're doing this as fellow guys."

"It's a 'dude' thing."

"So where is he?"

Rufus looked at the tweebs, confused at how fast they had come up with a plan. He decided it couldn't hurt, though, so he led them back to the living room.

************************************************

"So that's what I meant when I said 'underwear', Mr. Possible."

"Hmm…" Mr. Possible rubbed his chin and left the room satisfied. "I never knew that 'underwear' was such a diverse word…kids these days and their slang…"

Ron wiped a bead of sweat off his face then sat down. He was standing again, though, when he saw Kim walk into the room.

"*whistle* Wow, Kim…that's a nice-looking dress you got there…"

Kim blushed. "You like it? It's something that Monique bought for me for my birthday. I just never got around to wearing it…"

Ron glared at her and huffed with a slight hint of jealousy. "Well…why wear it NOW? You're just going on a date with Usher."

"Who?"

"I mean…he'll tell you about it later."

Kim raised an eyebrow but decided to let it go. She motioned for Ron to come near her. Ron obeyed, more attentive to the tight, low cut, black dress than what Kim had to say.

"Ron. I can't thank you enough for coming on this date with me…I mean us!" she corrected. Ron could see Kim blush a little but she turned her head to try to conceal it.

"No prob, KP. It'll be a great story to report to the school newspaper."

"Ron!"

Ron chuckled, "I'm just playin' with ya. Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. NO ONE will know about this date."

"Good. 'Cus if ANYONE found out about this, my social rep would be sooo history."

Ron grinned. "So where're you going, again?"

"He told me to meet him at the movie theater," Kim informed him. Of course, Ron already knew this since he's the one who came up with the idea. He just had to make sure Kim wasn't on to him.

"Okay. Let's go!" Ron said and put his elbow out for Kim to slide her arm into.

"Heh. Maybe next time, little boy. I have a REAL date."

Kim giggled and pushed Ron's elbow away before she pulled his arm out the door. She didn't noticed that Ron looked somewhat hurt at her joke, though.

Behind Kim and Ron, the tweebs and Rufus quietly followed, hiding behind trees and bushes to stay out of sight.
