Ronald had been extra happy that Sabbath morning. He arose without being prodded by his mother, he was dressed and groomed and at the table before breakfast had been finished, and he was actually telling his father to hurry up when it was time to go to Temple. Unfortunately, the hurry up attitude carried on while at Temple. After the services, instead of taking their time milling about and talking to their friends, the Stoppables were all but ushered to their vehicle by a very excited Ronald Stoppable.

Entering the car Andrew Stoppable turned to his son, "I can understand your excitement about your first big date, but going at this rate you will be exhausted before it starts. As it is, you have a little over two hours before you are supposed to meet your friends at the mall."

"Father, please, everything has to be right, no perfect. If anything goes wrong…"

"Justine will understand. I know I am not the one to dispense advice, but let me this once. Relax, be yourself. Justine is already your friend. This is just like taking your friendship and cranking it up to eleven, same music, but just louder."

Ronald pause, his mouth froze in response. He closed his mouth. He then nodded his head and started to visibly relax. "I suppose you are right."

His mother chuckled at the acceptance in his form. "Well, now that we have some time, how about we stop by that new Norwegian restaurant?"

From the back seat came a cry of, "I hate meat cakes!" Ron paused, shook his head, "Where did that come from?"

"I have no idea, but they also have lamb and cabbage stew," urged his mother.

Ron visibly cringed. "How about…"

"We will not be going to Bueno Nacho for lunch," said his mother in a voice of finality that he knew brooked no opposition.

"The Indian place near the mall?" hedged Ron.

"I could go for some vindaloo," contributed the older male.

Rebecca Stoppable sighed, "Just don't forget to take your Tums in Dear; you know how it tears up your stomach."

Justine waited nervously by the front door. She had her backpack empty for the most part, except for a change of shoes and socks, along with some figures that she could go over in her spare time. There was some interesting points that she wanted to discuss, but had a feeling that she wouldn't be given time to do so. She sighed in her waiting, and nervously looked up at the shadow that was looking at her.

"So, sibling, do you require conveyance to anywhere while I am on my way to work?" asked her brother.

"Thank you, no, Ned. I am waiting on my ride."

"Ah, Stoppable is going to pick you up? Is this truly going to be an event, a full fledged date?"

Justine shook her head, "No, a… friend is picking me up. We will meet Ronald at the mall."

"Another friend for my sister, a most momentous moment, may I inquire as to the nature of this friend?"

"Her name is Bonnie Rockwaller and she…"

"Rockwaller?" interrupted Ned. "Stay away from her. Her sisters a horrible people that belittle and control others, they, they…"

Justine merely held her hand up. "It is okay, Ned. Ronald and I have ways of keeping her in check. Plus, it seems that she is not like her sisters. She is going to help me with my 'look' so that I will be more attractive to Ronald."

"If she has talked you into this, I can tell you one thing, Sister, you do not need to change your look for Ronald, and he would feel the same about you no matter what."

"But what if someone else catches his eye?"

"What if the sun doesn't shine, or the moon doesn't reflect it's light? What if the stars stop their fusion reactions all at once and the curvature of space ceases? Someone else probably will catch his eye. Among the few faults of Stoppable is that he is human, but I will tell you true, my sibling, others may attract his gaze, but none will hold his mind, spirit, and soul but you."

Justine sighed, and let out a smile, "You were always the most poetic of us. Maybe I won't need to change my look, but I would like to know how to put on make-up, and she promised they would help teach me that."

"Just be careful. Well, I must away to my gainful employment, have a good time," and with that he left, leaving Justine waiting the next five minutes, till there was a knock on her door.
