Ron spent a quiet Tuesday, he got the new motorcycle licensed and then went to a motorcycle shop and bought a full face helmet after he ate one bug too many riding around town. He was getting used to the big bike, it was a lot different having a vehicle that wouldn't go faster than 20 mph and then to move up to one that can go 200 mph. Once he made it home he spent the rest of the day laying around the house and indulging in Ron time.

Ron worked the Bueno Nacho job on Wednesday and then drove the new motorcycle to Smarty Mart. This was the big moment, Ron was sure he was going to be fired. Once he clocked in and said hello to everyone he was then called into Mr. Dotson's office. Ron looked at everyone, "See you guys later." He said sadly as he made that long walk to the office.

Mr. Dotson told him to sit down, "Sounds like you had a busy day on Sunday."

Ron squirmed, "Yes sir"

Mr. Dotson looked up, "You got lucky, the people up front were tickled with all the attention so they asked me to give you this." He then produced an envelope and slid it over to Ron.

Then he continued, "They also don't want anything like that to happen again, is that clear, Mr. Stoppable?"

Ron nodded, "Yes sir" he said sadly.

Mr. Dotson looked at Ron's hand, "I see you have the cast off now."

Ron brightened, "Yes sir, got it off on Monday."

"I'm going to keep you in electronics for another day before putting you in the back." He told Ron.

Ron nodded, "Ok' Mr. Dotson told him to follow him.

Ron followed the supervisor on to the floor.

They didn't go into the electronics section, "Now Ron I'll understand if you don't want to do this, but I'm going to ask you to do a mission for me." Ron looked at him strangely.

Mr. Dotson pointed to a girl out on the floor in house wares, "You see that girl, the short brown haired one right over there?" He pointed her out for Ron.

Ron nodded, "She's cute" He thought to himself.

Mr. Dotson continued, "It seems she's been hanging around the electronics section spying on a guy over there."

Ron smiled, "I got ya, you want me to find out who it is right?" he told Mr. Dotson with a wink.

The Supervisor shook his head, "No Ron, she's been watching you ever since you started working here and they are getting ready to fire her if she doesn't stop and stay in her department."

Ron blinked, "ME?" he said stunned.

Mr. Dotson nodded, "What I want you to do is to introduce yourself, meet her on break and get her to stay in her area. Think you can do that?"

Ron nodded nervously, "Yea…sure…ok…I gotcha, are you sure it's me?" he asked still not certain.

Mr. Dotson nodded, "Yep, you're the one. Now go to work." Ron jumped and headed back into electronics.

Ron was as nervous as can be, "That girl was a cute, she can't be watching me." He thought.

He set a trap he figured there were only two isles that she could hang out and watch him from, so he turned off the two televisions on those isles so he could watch the reflections to see when she'd be watching him.

Ron didn't have to wait long; he started fronting shelves when he saw the little head pop out three isles back. Ron placed a box of items on the floor then acted as if he had forgotten something. He doubled back up the isle, moved the three isles over to see if she was still there, and she was. Then using his stealthiest ninja type moves, he made his way down the isle.

The little lady never heard Ron come up from behind, Ron leaned out of the isle, he was standing just behind her but he wanted to make sure it wasn't someone else that she was watching.

Ron was nervous, "what am I going to say to her?" he thought to himself.

Then he decided that he'd just wing it, "Hey I know what you're looking at." He said loud and confidently.

The girl jumped up and screamed before turning around to face Ron, "You…you do." She said as she stared at Ron.

Ron nodded his head that he did, "You were trying to see what kind of fine family picture I had playing on the 70 inch high def set, right?"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Yea…yea that was it." She told him.

Ron nodded his head, "I thought so, my names Ron by the way."

The girls eyes lit up, "I'm Lacy" she told him.

Ron looked at her, "I don't remember seeing you around, what department they got you in?" he asked her.

Lacey looked down, "I'm over in house wares."

Ron nodded, "Hey I go on break about seven, want to get a soda at the snack bar with me?" he asked nervously.

Lacey's eyes lit up, "Yea…sure…seven."

Ron nodded, "I'll meet you over there…well we better get back to our departments so we don't get in any trouble." He told her.

Then they both went their separate ways, Ron watched her walk away. To Ron's eyes she was the cutest girl he'd ever seen, she was short about 5'2 and must of weighed all of 90 lbs. She had a pretty face and a comforting voice, Ron liked that.

Ron couldn't believe it; "She said she'd meet me at seven" he was on pins and needles until break time.

He told Mr. Dotson that he had to have break at seven o'clock and he nodded ok. When break time came he walked into the snack bar and saw her waiting on him,

"What kind of soda you want?" he asked.

She told him that she wanted, "7up" Ron nodded and got the sodas.

Ron sat down across from her, "My name's Ron Stoppable, I just started her about a month ago." He told her.

She nodded, "I know you, you're always on TV with Kim Possible, you guys have probably dated forever." She told him.

Ron squirmed in his seat and gave a little laugh, "Well I don't like to brag but I set a record with Kim, I've known her longer than any boyfriend she's ever had and I hold the record for fastest dumping of any boyfriend…We never actually dated." He told her sadly.

She winced, "Sorry, I didn't know that, I just assumed…"

Ron nodded, "Your not the only one." He chuckled.

Then Ron decided to change the direction of the conversation, "Well I really didn't want to talk about KP, I was more interested in Lacy…?" Ron made a motion at the name tag, he was wanting to know her last name.

Lacey turned red from embarrassment. "Sorry, Lacey Lipton, I'm going to be a junior this year at Lowerton High School." She told him.

Ron smiled, "Well Lacey Lipton, I get off at nine and I know the a nice little Bueno Nacho that we can catch a late dinner." He told her.

Lacey smiled, "I get off at nine too, I just have to call my ride and let them know I have a way home." She told him.

Ron agreed to meet her out front after they got off work, and then headed back to electronics.

The rest of the night crawled by, the only bright spot was the half hour lunch break with his friends in the back.

Ron deflected most of the questions about Sunday night with his standard, "It's Classified line."

He enjoyed that because it would fire up Angry Bob. Angry Bob was chewing Ron out for rescuing Kim and being a tool. Angry Bob was worked up, "So you can't tell us what happened on Sunday because it's secret? I suppose if you were ever at area 51 you wouldn't reveal anything about that either?" he sat accusing Ron.

Ron nodded, "I've been there too, can't talk about it though, classified."

Angry Bob did a double take, "You've been to area 51?"

Ron nodded that he had.

"So it is your duty to come clean, tell us what "THE MAN" is up to there."

Ron shook his head, "Can't…classified."

Angry Bob was getting worked up and Ron loved every minute of it.

Angry Bob was rolling, "Come on Ron Man, drop the shackles of slavery "The Man" has imposed on you and come clean, what really goes on at area 51?"

Ron squirmed in his seat for effect, "Well Angry Bob, while I can't confirm or deny this of course…"

Ron stopped talking to look around, "you know the stories they tell?"

Angry Bob was enthralled, "Yea, I've heard the stories." Ron looked at the clock, "Uh oh lunch is over, I gotta run, talk to ya later."

Then Ron left the room. Angry Bob looked at Super Dave, "He did that on purpose didn't he?"

Super Dave looked up from the paper and shrugged, "Did what?" he asked innocently.

Once Ron got off work, he fired the motorcycle up and drove around to the front of the building, he was happy he still had his old helmet strapped to the bike because he was going to need it for a passenger. He picked up Lacey and then carefully worked his way through the streets of Middleton with Lacey firmly attached to his waist. Ron liked having her hold on to him; it reminded him of when Kim used to ride with him on the scooter. Once they reached his favorite Bueno Nacho, he rolled the bike to a stop and shut it off.

They went inside and he introduced her to Ned, Ned was impressed. They ordered their food and Ron ordered extra for Rufus, who he had yet to introduce.

Once at the table he decided to introduce his little friend, "Now don't freak out Lacey but I've got a little naked mole rat in my pocket…uh…his name is Rufus."

Then Ron winced, "That sounded bad didn't it?" he asked her.

She just about spit her soda all over the table from laughing, "Yea a little." She told him.

Ron blushed and had Rufus come out and meet Lacey. Rufus and Lacey hit it off immediately, which made Ron feel better.

Rufus was showing off his cool new dance moves before Ron scolded him, "Rufus stop being a ham and eat your food."

Lacey looked at Ron, "So why did Kim break up with you?" she asked.

Ron twisted in his seat, "Well I have these big ears and they scared her…actually…I don't know…it just wasn't meant to be I guess." Ron said sadly.

Lacey nodded, "Well I'm glad she did." She told him.

Ron brightened, "You are?" he asked her.

Lacey nodded, "Yea other wise I wouldn't be here with you."

Ron nodded, "Yea you gotta point, and I wouldn't be working at Smarty Mart."

Lacey looked at the envelope in Ron's pocket, "What's in the envelope?" she asked him.

Ron blinked; he had forgotten all about the envelope, "I don't know I never opened it."

Ron opened the envelope and inside was a $25 Smarty Card. Ron shook his head, "Well, I'll be" he said out loud.

Lacey was impressed, "You got a bonus."

Ron nodded, "I guess" and returned the card to the envelope.

Ron was trying to think of something to ask Lacey, "Lacey that's a pretty name, I don't hear it much around here."

Lacey nodded, "My parents were into some cop show before I was born and one of the characters was named Lacey." She told him.

Lacey made eye contact with Ron, "I like the new haircut." She told him.

Ron smiled, "Got it on Monday, decided I needed a change." He told her.

Lacey was smiling, "I thought you was good looking before but with that haircut it was like…wow."

Ron looked at her with a big smile, "How'd you know what I looked like before?" he asked her.

Lacey turned beat red and told Ron all about watching him in the store.

Ron started laughing, "You should of just came up and said "Hi' it would have made my life." He told her while laughing.

Once they finished up their food, Ron drove her back home to Lowerton and dropped her off at home. They took off their helmets and Ron walked her to the door.

Ron was nervous, "So…uh…Would you like to do this again sometime or go to a movie or something?" his voice was quivering.

Lacey hugged him and said that she would, and then Ron bent down and kissed her good night, and then kissed her again and a third time. Ron was trembling and enjoying his new girl friend. Lacey started to go up the steps to her house and then came back down and gave Ron one more big hug. Ron got Lacey's cell phone number and he gave her his.

Then Ron waived good bye and walked down to his motorcycle.

He realized he was short of breath and he was sweating and his hands were trembling, "Man I must of looked like a big dork." He thought to himself.

Ron headed back to Middleton; he hadn't felt so good since he was at prom with Kim. He tried to think of great date things to do. He might not of had a chance in the world with Kim but with Lacey he didn't think there would be any puzzles or game playing. He felt happier than he'd been in a long time and he hoped the feeling would never end.

Ron made it home and parked the motorcycle and headed off to bed. Once he settled Rufus in for the night he turned the light off and lay in bed trying to remember every little detail of the day.

Then he winced a little thinking how his last relationship ended, then he shrugged, "I think I'll make a good boy friend." He said out loud.

Rufus heard him and chimed in with a "Uh huh, Uh huh"

Ron laughed. "No more missions and life is good." He thought happily.
