Kim sighed as Ron shifted and cuddled in next to her. "Why is it I never tire of that?" she cooed.

Ron smiled. He could of said something self-aggrandizing, but at these moments, he already felt as grand as a man possibly could. "Because we fit together perfectly."

"Captain Romance strikes again," she nuzzled against him.

"Speaking of which...," Ron said softly.

"What? New comic hero?"

"You know Anne's new boyfriend?"

"Trevor?" Kim smiled. "Yeah, he sounds nice."

"I think it's Trenton, actually."

"So, what about him?"

"He wants to take Anne to a concert."

"That'll be great!" Kim smiled. "As soon as she's off restriction, we'll set up them with whatever they want to do together."

"He's already bought tickets."

"Really?" Kim seemed surprised, "What for?"

"Wine Glass is playing this weekend."

Kim's eyes narrowed, "No." She then rolled away from her husband.

"Kim," he spooned up beside her. "Remember how we were then."

"I never broke restriction."

"But you did have a boyfriend that occasionally made mistakes."

"Like Anne didn't plan this."

"She told me she doesn't even like the group. She just wants to be with Kent."

"Then I have a plan," Kim turned around just long enough to kiss him. "Now just hold me and go to sleep."

"Sure," Ron smiled. "Once your hair is out my face."

Kim moved, "Sorry."

"No big, KP."

"It's been a lovely night," Flo told Don as they landed on the Stoppable's front step.

"Yeah, though I expected 'Fearless Ferret: The Movie' to have better effects than that."

"Maybe next time we'll go to a Drive-In," Flo smiled. "Then the movie won't matter."

"You don't have a car."

"It does seem a waste of money when you can fly."

Only then did it click in Don's mind what Flo had been hinting at. He blushed, "That's not where I would want to do that anyway." He tried to look at Flo but had gotten self-conscious. "At least the first time."

Flo started to blush. Maybe she hadn't meant to take the remark as far as he had. She kissed him lightly on the lips, "Of course."

"Maybe..." Don said slowly, "Your apartment would be better."

Flo nodded and stroked his hair, "When you feel ready."

They kissed tenderly a moment. Romance was overcoming passion, mostly.

"I'd like that."

Flo grinned, "I bet you would." She gave him another peck on the lips and stepped down to the sidewalk, "G'night."

"Flo?"

"Yeah, Don?"

"Soon?"

Flo began to glow pink. She floated only partway back toward Don, "We'll talk." She then winked and flew into the sky.

Shego sighed as Ed got up to shower. "How do you do this to me?"

"It's all in the mechanics, Babe."

Shego watched him as he disappeared into the bathroom. He had been a real louse at first. But sometime in the last twenty years, she realized for a fact that she loved him. It just took him romancing her all that time for her to be sure.

Still too light-headed to move, Shego lay back and enjoyed the relaxed feeling. She remembered Ed's birthday was the next week. She'd like to find him something nice.

The following day, Anne sat on the couch. Ted, one of the smarter naked mole rats, was napping in her lap. Her Mom and Dad had something to tell her.

"The bad news is that you are not going anywhere this weekend," said Mom.

No shock there.

"The good news is that we will buy Tony's-"

"His name is Trent."

Mom looked sheepish for only a moment, "Trent's tickets and pay for anything you kids want to do the following weekend."

Anne digested that a moment, "Anything?"

"No breaking curfew," Dad said quickly.

Anne looked at him sternly. "Of course not, Dad. But - like Dinner in Paris if we want?" she asked hopefully.

"That sounds a little grand," Kim said carefully. "But it could be feasible."

Anne's mouth opened, but nothing came out for a moment. "Really?"

"We'll discuss that tomorrow night," said Dad.

"What's tomorrow?"

Mom smiled, "We want you to invite him to dinner here tomorrow night."

"Oh," Anne's eyes widened a moment. "Okay."

"Is that a problem?"

"No," Anne said quickly. "Just seems sudden." She stood up, "I'll go call him."

"So what do you need again, Dad?"

"The Super Quark Interphasic Geographic Injector," Drakken explained happily.

"What's it do?"

Drakken's eyebrows furrowed, "That's Top Secret."

"So," Keego's face brightened, "you need it in order to find out what it does!"

Drakken was slightly taken aback, "Er - Yes!" He nodded fiercely, "You are a smart girl."

She pecked his cheek, "Don't wait up, Daddy."

Don was surprised when Flo met him outside the locker room entrance. "Hi, what's up?"

"I traded our gym time," Flo told him seriously.

"Oh? What shall we do now?"

Flo took his hand, "We go and talk."

They went to the old Bueno Nacho, ordered two grande number fives and sat in a convenient booth. Neither of them had any idea that Don's parents used to spend a great deal of time in that same booth.

"I hope we're okay," Don said as he unwrapped his naco.

"Of course," Flo was surprised. "Why wouldn't we be?"

"Well, this seems a bit serious."

"It is."

"Oh," Don got very worried.

Flo reached over and took his hand, "Don, this is not a break up talk." She squeezed his hand and smiled, "Just the opposite."

Don perked up, "Okay." After taking his first bite, he got a goofy look, "Is this about.."

"Uh huh," Flo said simply. "We need to talk frankly about it."

"All right." Don sat up straighter.

"You shouldn't rush into this kind of thing, Don."

"You sound like you are speaking from experience," he said slowly.

Flo looked sad a moment, "Yeah."

"So you have been there before."

"A few times."

"You have regrets?" Don asked, surprised.

Flo fixed her eyes on him coolly, "You really want to hear this?"

Don sighed, "Maybe not, but I think I should."

Flo nodded at him appreciatively. Then she leaned over the table, looking down, "I was sixteen. Back seat of a Lincoln. I was more curious than in love, really."

"You must have some good memories of it."

"It was fun," though the tone in her voice made it sound otherwise. "I kinda wish it had been different, though."

"More special?"

Flo looked him in the eye and smiled, "If I have any say in it, your first time will be very special."

Don took her hand, "You do have a say."

Flo squeezed his hand, though her face got serious again. "That's the other thing, Don. A couple of things, actually."

"What?" Don leaned in.

"Well, first," Flo's eyes darted down and back up again. "There's your Mom."

"She's always on us, I know."

"I promised her we'd take this slow." She grabbed his other hand, "Honestly, part of me agrees with her. You're still a young man, Don."

"I'll be out of school in June."

"I know. Then there's the other thing."

"What?"

"I decided a while ago that my next lover would be my last one. Sure, waiting until after the wedding seems silly with my history, but I don't want to be with anyone but my husband from now on."

"That sounds nice." Don told her frankly, "and rather wise."

"But do you see how that complicates this with us?"

Don thought a moment. "So if we - that would be just like saying that - almost proposing even." His eyes got rather wide.

"Right," Flo said nervously. "I know you haven't thought about that. Maybe someday-"

"But I have."

Flo stared at him a moment.

Don couldn't help smiling at the look on her face. "I've played with the idea now and then."

"What do you think?" Flo asked, trying to hide her concern.

"It's always a nice image." Don squeezed her hand again. "I suppose now, I should address it practically, at least in theory."

"You do realize we have been dating one whole month."

"Yeah." He said with a greatly satisfied tone.

Flo sat back, "So much for taking it slow." She stared out the window a moment, "Your mom is going to kill me."
