FA: I'm glad you stuck around. I don't usually do that to people, but this one just played out that way. I'm glad you liked those. And you hit the nail on the head. They do make two distinctive couples, but Shego still wants to... sample Ron's gifts, and Adam still want's to Quote: "Get him some Kimmie-Pie."
CC:I know, the updates are going to be slower, since I'm still writing the rear end of this, as well as on Late Night Bonding, but I'm glad you're happy. That was answered above.

"You never did tell us how your date with Bonnie went." Kim pointed out to Adam, as they drove towards her house. Shego was driving, at a more normal pace than usual.
"I'm not going to. It was between her and I, and somethings, I just don't tell." He replied.
"That power of yours works both ways." Shego commented. "You can't always control the direction of flow."
"But I can purge memories from my mind." He replied. "It's a useful skill."
"I..." Whatever Ron was about to say, was cut off, as Shego slammed the accelerator, and a cannon shell ripped a hole in the road. A moment later, they were being chased by a tank, apparently the same one that had shot at them. Shego whipped around a corner, just as the tank fired again. It cut straight through a house between them, around the corner and continued after them. Another round flashed.
"Who's shooting at us?" Kim yelled.
"Don't know, but there's only one person there." Adam replied. "Use your mage-sight." He called, noting the strange looks. They did so, and sure enough there was only one energy pattern there, driving.
"How is whoever that is shooting then?" Kim asked.
"Auto-loader." Shego replied, slowing down. Kim and Ron screamed, then she accelerated, keeping pace with the tank. They were close enough that it couldn't fire. She spun her seat around, as Adam grabbed the wheel as it slid across the dashboard. She lifted her arms, slipping on the rings the tweebs had given her, and took aim. Then she fired, full blast down the gun barrel. Kim and Ron could see the inside of the barrel melt. When her powers shut off, she reached over and tapped Adam on the shoulder. He slammed the accelerator down, and the car leapt forwards. The tank took aim, and fired again, the barrel exploding outwards, into a huge flower pattern. Adam cut the wheel to the right, and slowed down cutting around the tank, before slamming the accelerator again, to catch it.
"Kim, Ron, go!" Shego yelled. They popped seat belts, and climbed over the front seats, and onto the hood, Adam got them close, and they jumped. Kim caught a rung on the back of the tank with one hand, then Ron with the other as he missed. He got both feet on the back of the tank, and then climbed it with her help. They ascended the tank carefully, until they reached the top of the turret. Kim waited for Ron to nod, and then popped the hatch. Inside, she saw an old foe.
"Frugal Lucre? This isn't your style." She snapped.
"I got an investor!" He replied. "Now, you die!" He threw the levers to the huge tank, causing it to jerk left. Ron caught one rung on the side of the tank, and Kim with the other hand, then she caught her feet on the side skirting. The turret rotated to the left, over the top of them, blocking their escape. The tank straightened out, leaving them hanging over the sidewalk, with no room for the car to come around to rescue them. A huge brick wall was fast approaching. Shego opened fire on the back of the tank, but the armor was too thick. Rufus peeked out of his pocket, and saw the problem. He darted up Ron's leg and side, and along his arm, to Kim's free hand.
"Barrel!" He yelled as he passed her head. She nodded, and threw. He landed in and darted down it, and through the fused open breach. Now inside the tank, he took the most direct approach, and bit Lucre's right shoulder. He yanked down on the right lever, swinging the tank away from the wall, though it was cut so close, Ron had to yank Kim up to clear it. Shego fired again, this time with a clear shot at the tracks, and it worked, the track snapped, and The tank started to falter as Adam swerved clear, almost crashing the car. Only Shego throwing her weight against him kept it upright, and he was driving one two wheels for several, rather tense moments. The tank meanwhile slid and skidded to a stop, just short of the Middleton police station, of all places. Three hundred cops, all well armed, swarmed the tank. Ron and Kim dropped, as the car slid to a stop, throwing the two occupants against the seat belts. Shego flashed a nasty glare at Adam.
"We're in one piece aren't we?" She hit him, hard enough to put him out.
"Isn't that a little excessive?" Kim asked, as Ron lifted her, unnecessarily, over the side. He smiled, and climbed in himself. The buckled in, and Shego took the wheel back. Arriving at home, they found Kim's mother waiting, with an older man on the front stairs.
"There she is now." Jean Possible smiled, and pointed to the car. Shego pulled in, and stepped out of the car. Kim noted she was still wearing the rings, as she approached the man. "Shego? This man is here to speak with you."
"Geraud De Verneau." He bowed, the french accent was easy to identify. "Lovely to meet you, my lady."
"Your what?" Shego asked.
"I am your grounds keeper countess." He said, as he stood again.
"My what?" She asked.
"Might we continue this inside?" Adam suggested politely. Kim nodded.
"Please, come in." Her mother invited. Kim led Shego, who was still in what seemed to be a state of shock, into the house. The older man followed, and so did the boys, both interested to see what was going on.
