Jezrianna:Don't worry, I'm including a timeline correction at the end of the second story. It'll make sense, since by then, I'll have finished the lemons that go along with this. I have to ask now, but would you like to make a cameo appearence later on? They'll be attending a party, and I can write you in without trouble.

Ron was waiting for them when they landed the Blackhawk in the middle of the street outside his house. He gasped on seeing Shego, but said nothing, taking a cue from Kim's glare. Dr. Director glared at them as they stepped out. Shego and Kim studiously ignored her, but Adam raised his hand over his shoulder, under the pretense of holding his jacket up for inspection, and gave her the finger. She just glared, but Kim, standing behind him, rapped him on the back of the head. The door slid shut, and the chopper lifted into the air. As the dust cleared, and the noise died, Ron turned to face them. Adam threw an arm around Shego's shoulders. They had already discussed it, and decided that not revealing that Kim was in on it right away was a very good idea.

"Heya Ronnie." Adam grinned.

"Hello, Stoppable." Shego smiled, very calmly. Ron stared.

"Kim? Did I miss something?" He asked innocently. Shego smiled wider. Kim's jaw worked silently. Adam burst out laughing. Ron sighed.

"Shall I give him the short version? Or the long one?" Kim asked. They both shrugged. She sighed. "You two are a fat lot of help." She turned, and reiterated most of what she'd heard, leaving out parts of it, mostly from before the conversation with the Genesis, up until it gave warning about the aircraft. When she finished, Ron whistled.

"Good thing I'm sitting down." He grinned. Kim's face fell. Adam sighed, and Shego prodded his leg with her foot.

"What did happen to you? Wait, before you say anything, can we go inside, and sit down?"

"Sure." Ron whirled around, and lead the way. Adam muttered something, as they walked, but Kim couldn't make it out. Shego wasn't paying attention. Ron rolled up a pair of planks, and lead them in. He wheeled into the living room, and waved them all to sit down. He repeated his tale, with occasional comments from Kim, forcing him to give an unembellished version. Mostly.

"Brave Rufus leapt from my out stretched hand as I heroically fell." Ron grinned.

"Crying like a baby?" Kim asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I wasn't going to mention that." Ron pouted. Kim laughed. A snore issued from the couch. Shego rolled her eyes, and elbowed Adam. Ron laughed.

"Are you finished?" Adam asked, yawning.

"Almost." Ron chuckled and cut short the rest of the story. "So, Shego, where are you staying?" Blink. Pause. Blink.

"I haven't gotten that far quite yet." Shego admitted.

"You can stay with me for the time being. Adam? What about you?" Kim asked. He sighed.

"I was supposed to have a company vehicle waiting for me, but it seems to have gotten lost." He chuckled nervously. "Ron, old buddy old pal. I don't suppose you'd consider..."

"Asking my parents if you could stay?" Ron finished the thought. Adam nodded. "I don't think they'll say no." He shrugged. "I'll ask."

"Thanks." Adam grinned.

"What company vehicle?" Shego asked.

"An RV. Sort of. It's a bit complicated." He shrugged. Then he stopped. "Ron, can I use your phone? I've got to make a call."

"Sure." Adam vanished into the kitchen. Shego stood, and so did Kim.

"We're going to go now, because he'll talk us to death. See you tomorrow Ron." Kim leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, then walked out.
