"An Officer and a Gentlemen"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Ron ran home, he pulled out his kimmunicator. He beeped Wade. "Hey Ron, what's up? Why are you running?"
"Wade, I need some favors and I need them fast."
"You got it buddy. What do you need?"
Ron went on to explain to Wade what he hand in mind. (AN: I thought about elaborating here but I didn't want to give Ron's secrets away to early).
As Kim walked in her house, Mr. and Mrs. Possible were surprised to see her. Mr. Possible spoke up. "Kimmie-cub, aren't you suppose to be at the dance? Where's Eric? He didn't try something did he?" A look of concern appeared on Mr. Possible's face.
"Mom, Dad, it's nothing like that." Kim went on to explain what happened with Ron. Mrs. Possible's eyes lit up. She rushed over and hugged Kim. "Oh, Kimmie I'm so happy for you." She looked up at the picture of a younger Kim and Ron hugging on the wall and smiled. She put up her hand and touched the picture. "You and Ron have always been inseparable. Your father and I were hoping this would happen. I was sad when you decided to go with Eric to the dance. Ron's hasn't been around last couple days. I figured he was taking it hard. Let's get you freshened up Kimmie."
Mrs. Possible helped Kim freshen up. Kim looked in the mirror and smiled as her Mrs. Possbile stood behind her. A tear formed in Mrs. Possible. "Kimmie, you look beautiful."
Kim hugged her mom. "Thanks Mom."
Kim paced back and forth in the living room waiting for Ron.
Mrs. Possible saw this. "Kimmie, Ron won't be over for another 20 minutes. Why don't you have a seat."
"Mom, I'm too excited and nervous to have a seat." Where is Ron taking me?

Back at Ron's house:
Ron rushed into the shower and probably scrubbed himself better than he'd ever done before. He pulled out a bottle of cologne which he rarely used and put some on. He opened his closet and pulled out his Global Justice Dress Uniform. He checked himself in the mirror. He grabbed his boom box and headed out the door.
He wanted to run to Kim's but walked so he didn't work up a sweat and wrinkle his uniform. When we got to the corner before Kim's street, the GJ officers that Wade had requested for him were waiting for him. Ron saluted them. "Thank you gentlemen for agreeing to do this on such short notice. Do you have sword for me?"
One of the men handed Ron a sword in its sheath Ron attached it to his belt. Ron shook everyone's hand. "Ready?" The GJ officers nodded. He pulled out the kimmunicator and beeped Wade. "Ok Wade, were ready." They walked to Kim's house and the 12 GJ officers got in position, 6 on each side of the main sidewalk. He set the boom box down. He set Rufus down next to the boom box. "Ready buddy?"
"Uh huh" Rufus squeaked and gave Ron a thumbs up.
Ron turned to the GJ officers. "Gentlemen ready?" They nodded. Ron got into position in line on the left side. He pulled out his kimmunicator and beeped Wade. "Wade, we're ready. Send Kim out."

Back inside the Possible house Kim was still pacing back and forth. Kim's kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. "Wade, can't the sitch sit? Ron's got a surprise for me?"
Wade just smiled. "That is why I'm calling Kim. He's waiting for you outside." Wade disappeared from the screen before Kim could get any information about of him.
Kim turned to her parents. "Mom, Dad Ron's waiting for me outside. I'll be home by midnight."
Mr. and Mrs. Possible walked to the living room to peer out the window to watch Kim and Ron leave. They were amazed at what they saw.
Kim opened the door expecting to see just Ron in a tuxedo. Instead when she stepped outside she saw 12 GJ officers in full dress uniform standing 6 by 6 in two rows, one on each side of the sidewalk. She saw Ron, also in full GJ dress uniform standing behind the left flank. Kim gasped. She opened her mouth to saw something but nothing came out. Ron...
Ron turned to Rufus and nodded. Rufus pressed play on the boom box:
Tonight it's very clear as we're both lyin' here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you, I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you cryin'
I don't wanna lose you, I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall, you help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you, I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you been dreamin' of
We'll live forever, knowin' together
That we did it all for the glory of love
As the music played, Ron marched out orders:
"Attent Hut!" All GJ officers stood tall with their hands at their sides in perfect formation with Ron matching them precisely.
"About Face." All thirteen men turn to face Kim.
"Salute." They all saluted Kim. Kim straightened up and returned the salute.
"Center Face." They turned back to face each other.
"Arch Sabers." All thirteen men drew their sword with their right hand and raised them. They formed an arch.
Kim gasped in delight. Ron, I can't believe you didthis. Kim walked down the stairs and through the arch. When she reached Ron, she stopped and stood to the left of him.
"Return sabers." Everyone lowered their swords and put them back into their sheaths. Ron turned and saluted them again. He shook everyone's of their hands thanking them. Kim in turned hugged each of the twelve men. She then turned to Ron and gave him a long kiss.
As the kiss broke, Ron turned red. "Kim, not in front of the guys." Kim just giggled.
Just as the following words were getting sung a limo pulled up in front of the house.:
Like a knight in shining armor from a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
When the limo came to a stop, the front passenger door opened and a man actually wearing old knight's armor, including the helmet with full face stepped out and opened the main passenger door.
Ron turned to Kim, smiled and offered her his hand, "Shall we mi lady?"
Kim took Ron's hand. "Oh Ron, I can't believe you did all this."
Ron smiled. "I had Wade's help."
They got in the limo. The guide in the suit of armor closed the door and got back in the front seat. As Kim was getting in she turned and saw her mom and dad with huge smiles on their faces watching from the front window. They waved. Kim waved back. Ron hadn't noticed they were being watched. He was too focused on executing his plan, which had been going perfectly.
When the door closed, Kim practically jumped on Ron and gave him a long, slow passionate kiss. "Ron, that was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I loved it."
Ron just smiled. "We are just beginning Kim."
"There's more? Where are we going.?
Ron smiled. "You'll see when we get there." Kim just sat back, holding Ron's hand and leaning against him staring out the window. Things are perfect.
The limo drove into the upscale part of Middleton, full or fancy shops and restaurants. The limo pulled in the parking lot of "Le Chez." This was the most upscale restaurant in Middleton. It had luxury private halls, complete with full DJ equipment for private parties. As the limo pulled up to the front, Kim looked at Ron. "Ron? This is the ritziest place in Middleton. It's practically impossible to get a reservation here unless your top brass."
Ron just smiled, "It's all taken care of KP."
The Limo stopped. The door opened and Kim and Ron stepped out. They walked in the front doors and walked to the Maitre D. To Kim's amazement before they even got the to the Maitre D, he walked up and greeted them. "Ron, welcome to Le Chez. Everything has been taken care of hopefully to your satisfaction. He turned to Kim and took her hand and kissed her finger tips. "This must be Kim Possible. It is a pleasure to finally meet you." Kim blushed. "Right this way." The Maitre D started walking and Ron and Kim followed.
Kim leaned over and whispered. "How does he know you? How did you get reservations here?"
Ron whispered back, "I'll explain everything later. Just enjoy it." Kim smiled, nodded and squeezed Ron's hand.
They got to one of the great halls and the Maitre D opened the doors and motioned for Ron and Kim to enter. Kim went in first followed by Ron. The hall was decorated like the Middleton High gymnasium was for the dance.
The Maitre D hit the lights and the overhead ball and dance lights turned on. "Ron, I hope everything is to your satisfaction. If you need anything, don't hesitate to pick up the phone." The Maitre D left and closed the doors behind him.
Kim was in awe. "Ron, I can't believe you did all this."
Ron turned and smiled, "It was nothing KP. All this is nothing compared to what you mean to me." Ron leaned in and shared another kiss with Kim.
Kim saw a table with munchies and punch, just like at the dance. Ron pulled out his kimmunicator and beeped Wade. "Wade, start the music please."
Suddenly the DJ booth light up and music started playing. Kim leaned over so her face was visible to the kimmunicator. She looked so happy. "Thanks Wade for everything."
Wade just smiled and responded, "Don't thank me. I just called in some favors. This is all Ron's idea. I'll let the two of you enjoy the evening. Wade out." The screen shut off. Kim turned to Ron. "Ron, I don't know what to say." Tears were beginning to come down Kim's face.
Ron wiped the tears away. "You don't have to say anything. You being here with me is more thanks than I'll ever need." They shared another kiss.
A slow song started to play. "Mi lady, may I have this dance." Kim overcome with emotion could only nod. Ron lead Kim out to the center of the floor. Ron gracefully bowed. Kim in turned curtsied. Ron pulled Kim tight to him and they danced.

AN: Probably at least one more chapter to tie up some loose ends. (i.e. Ron will reveal how he managed to pull off the night.) I can make it longer if there is interest.
