Flo walked into the Director's office with confidence. "You wanted to see me, Ma'am?" Once it had been always, 'Director'. Then at the woman's request, Flo actually called her 'Kim' when the occasion called for it. It had never been Director Possible, or even Ms. Possible. Finally, Flo had settled into calling her 'Ma'am' most of the time. It was familiar, yet respectful.

"Sit down, Agent Ming." She didn't look up from her work.

Flo found it unusual that the woman had called her that and in that tone. The Director had been the one to break the title barrier nearly a year ago. She usually called Flo by her first name, which was often appropriate for a superior to do. She had still occasionally referred to her as 'Flamingo' now and again, but the Director hadn't called her 'Agent Ming' in months.

Flo sat.

Director Possible kept on with what she was doing. She checked several reports, twice and again as Flo watched. Flo began to wonder if there was a discrepancy with one of her reports.

Finally, she filed the paperwork and faced Flo from behind her desk. She seemed more authoritative than usual. "Is it true that you are planning to attend Middleton High School's Harvest Dance?"

"Yes, Ma'am," Flo was actually relieved that she had been asked a personal question. That meant that even here in the Director's office, she would be 'Kim', instead of 'The Director'.

However, Flo's smile faded when she noticed that Kim was not acting the least at ease. She was still sitting straight up in her seat with her hands on her desk. She was looking straight at - no, through - Flo.

She was actually clenching her hands for a moment.

The Director then placed her hands flat on the desk and took a deep breath. "What made you think it would be appropriate for you to date my son?"

Flo was speechless.

The question had completely blindsided her.

Once she found her voice, she said the first thing in her head. "I don't see how it is inappropriate."

The older redhead stood, her hands still on her desk, "You are an agent of Global Justice and he is a trainee."

"He said he wanted to go with a friend or not at all," said Flo. "It's one silly dance."

"So this is not a date?" The redheaded woman's eyes were slits.

Flo sighed, "I'd be lying if I said that." Flo looked her boss in the eye, "You've raised a good young man."

"You shouldn't be dating him," Her voice was like ice.

"Did I miss something in the agency handbook?" Asked Flo. "There are no restrictions on agents fraternizing." Her voice rose slowly, "Even if there were, Don's not an agent. He's a junior volunteer."

"Emphasis on junior!" Don's mother shouted.

Flo calmed only slightly, "This isn't about the agency at all." She stared at her mentor, "You think I'm too old for him."

Kim hesitated.

"You brought me into your office to use your power as my boss to prevent me from dating Don!" Flo's voice rose higher than before.

The older woman was taken aback.

"Maybe this isn't even about age." Flo said quietly. "You know he's mature for his age." Flo's eyes started tearing, "Maybe you just don't want him dating the daughter of -!"

"Flo, no." Kim breathed.

Flo stood up and started for the door.

"Wait." She whispered from her desk.

Flo stopped.

"This has nothing to do with the circumstances of your birth." She walked around the desk.

Flo did not move.

"Except maybe the date of it," she stepped in front of Flo.

Flo's eyes were closed.

Kim put a hand on her shoulder.

Flo opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry I made you think otherwise." Kim looked down at the floor. "It was also wrong of me to use my agency position to influence a personal matter."

"You're a concerned mom." Flo wiped her cheek, "I probably should have said something to you first."

Kim gestured to the seat Flo had just vacated.

Flo sat down again and Kim took the seat next to it.

Flo said, "I had planned to wait - a couple of years maybe - but he seemed upset about the dance."

"You really like him," Kim seemed surprised.

Flo nodded, "It didn't take long, frankly." She smiled, "He's a good man, and real cute."

Kim smiled but her eyes were dark, "You do realize that if you hurt him, I have relatives that can put you on the very next deep space probe."

"Yes, Ma'am!" Flo saluted. "I'll take it real slow, Ma'am."

Don and Anne Stoppable were dropped off near Drakken's Caribbean lair by an agency stealth plane. They proceeded underwater to infiltrate the lair, wearing scuba gear. Even Bill, Don's favorite naked mole rat, was in a special mini-sub that Uncle Wade had invented. He called it the Personal Rodent Submarine, or PRS.

The twins had never been to this lair before, but the maps on file at G.J. were extensive. Mom had also briefed them on details of the place from her first hand experience and pertinent anecdotes from her amateur days. They managed to sneak in unseen. They found Dr. Drakken and Bopper, his young punk girl sidekick, at a set of monitors.

Anne thought that a setup like that would probably have the kids in the audio-visual department at school drooling.

Bopper asked, "What's this for again, Drakky?"

Drakken looked away from the screen, "I'm reviewing these tapes to try and find Kim Possible's weak spot."

"How are twenty-something old tapes gonna tell you that now?"

"Scientific method." Drakken started the tape running again.

"What is he watching?" asked Anne.

"Maybe an old reality show?" said Don.

: High school quarterback, Brick Flagg, takes the ride of his life:

The screen showed a young, blonde man in a letter jacket tied to a roller coaster car.

Anne gasped, "Is that?"

"Mr. Flagg, the used car guy?" said Don.

: And only one person can save him: a woman with short blonde hair at the ride's controls continued dramatically. : His beloved girlfriend, Kim Possible:

"What the-," Anne was beside herself.

"Wow," said Don, "He actually had hair once."

"No, I mean - Mom dated Ken's dad?" Anne whispered.

"Apparently," Don whispered.

.
I recently realized that I would cast Cree Summer as the voice of Flo. (She has played among others> "Kida" from Disney's "Atlantis" and "Susie Carmichael" in "Rugrats").

I still have no idea who to cast for the twins.
