Ron waited downstairs patently for Kim. He was nervous. After all he went from being a best friend to a boy friend all in the course of one night. He poked at his pocket and woke Rufus up once again from his sleep.
Rufus popped his head out of his pocket and squeaked, "What now?"
"Are you sure I was really Kim's date at the prom or was it a dream?" He asked the naked mole rat for the tenth time.
"Oh Boy" Rufus said in exasperation as this was the tenth time that day Ron had woken him up to ask him the same question. "Really happened, uh huh" Then he collapsed back into Ron's pocket.
"Hey Ron" A voice called to him from the stairs.
Ron turned and saw Kim bouncing down the stairs. A large grin came over his face, "Don't try to hug her in case it was a dream."
"Hey KP...Lookin' good as always this morning."
She walked up to her new boyfriend and embraced him, "So do you BF."
He felt her lips search his out and Ron closed his eyes, "YES, Not a dream...So not a dream." He thought as they kissed.
Kim heard a familiar sound coming from behind her. The sound was of her dad clearing his throat. She broke the kiss off quickly and spun around. Ron let out a scream as he saw James Possible staring intently at him.
"Ronald, were you just kissing my daughter." He asked in a loud booming voice.
"Uh...uh..uh"
"Black hole Ronald, Black hole." The elder Possible reminded him.
Ron's eyes rolled up into the back of his head and he fainted from fear falling over backwards and landing with a thud on the ground. Kim glared at her father, "Daddy"
"Kimberly there is a time and place for displays of affection and in the middle of our living room is not one of them." He informed her as he walked into the kitchen.
Kim shook her head and then knelt down to revive her new boyfriend, "Ron...Ron, wake up...It's all right Daddy's gone."
Ron opened his eyes and it was clear that he was still dazed, "I don't want to go into a black hole...Maybe we shouldn't..." He quickly broke off his thought.
"Maybe we shouldn't ...What?" She asked nervously.
"Maybe we shouldn't kiss in the living room." Ron quickly recovered and climbed to his feet.
"Oh yea...Don't want to get daddy angry." Kim giggled trying to hide her relief that he didn't say 'shouldn't be dating'.
Ron nodded his head, "Yea...So ready to go to the mall?"
Kim took him by the arm and led him to the door, "So what are we going to do at the mall?"
Ron frowned and pretended to give the matter considerable thought, "I think I can come up with a few good ideas. What say we hit the arcade first and then we could hang out in the food court?"
"Sounds spankin' let's go." Kim said excitedly as she pulled him out the door.
James Possible stood just behind the door leading into the kitchen listening to the young couple's conversation. He smiled as he remembered the old Shrum's ice cream parlor and arcade just outside of the campus where he used to hang out.
Anne Possible walked the stairs and headed into the kitchen, "You didn't scare poor Ron too badly I hope?" She asked as her husband backed away from the door to let her in.
"No, not too bad...I just don't go for all that kissing in public stuff." He told her.
Mrs. Possible gave him a knowing smile, "Ohhhhhhhh, I see. So where are they going?"
"Mall, play at the arcade for a while." He told her.
"I bet that brings back memories for you...I never thought I'd be able to pull you out of Shrum's in college." She said with a giggle.
Mr. Dr. P. smiled and remembered his favorite game, "I used to be the Dig Dug king."
Anne nodded, "I remember...I used to get all dressed up to try to compete with that stupid game."
He smiled, "Well it worked, you won."
"It wasn't as easy as all that..." Mrs. Dr. P. smiled and began to remind him about her conquest over her greatest rival for her boyfriend's affections, Dig Dug.
"Anne, I was just in Shrum's a little while ago and noticed a certain physics major that you were kissing the other night hanging out in the arcade room" Donna Deckinger gleefully told her roommate.
Anne's head shot up from the book she was reading, "Really?"
"Uh huh and I know for a fact that he'll be there until his 1:30 English Lit. Class."
Anne and Jim had been playing phone tag for the better part of the week. None of their classes matched up and they could never get their schedules coordinated due to the fact they had not seen each other since the previous weekend.
She blinked at her roommate, "How do you know that?"
"I asked him."
Anne's blue eyes turned to ice as her jealousy meter shot off the chart, "Who said you could talk to MY BOYFRIEND?"
Donna gave Anne a bemused look, "You have never dated him, so technically he's not your boyfriend...So mellow out."
Her shoulders slumped once she was reminded of this technicality, "Oh yea"
"Well get off your butt and change, you only have an hour and half before he has his next class." She told her friend.
Anne jumped up and ran to the closet, "I...I don't know what to wear."
"Leave that to me." Donna told her.
Anne nodded and soon she stood before her mirror in a black polka dot miniskirt, black hose, white fairy boots and an oversized white sweat shirt that was tore so she could ware off her left shoulder. Donna surveyed the outfit, "Needs something...accessories."
She next threw a hairnet at her, "Tie your hair into a pony tail with this." Then she grabbed a half a dozen different brightly colored gummy bracelets and Anne put them on. Anne smiled and quickly put on her bright red Swatch watch and stood before the mirror. Donna next handed Anne her little gold cross necklace to help create the whole Madonna look.
"Looks great, now grab your purse and let's go...Oh don't forget your lacey Madonna gloves." Donna reminded her.
Anne began to leave her dorm room and then quickly turned back around and grabbed her gloves and her book bag, "I have a biology class at 2:00." She explained.
The two quickly made their way to the little store front just outside of the Go City University campus. They could hear music coming from the old juke box that spun 45 rpm records. Anne smiled and bobbed her head and sang along with the record, "Promises in the dark."
"Come on Pat Benatar, time's wasting." Donna said urgently.
They walked thru the front door of the ice cream parlor. There was a large lunch time crowd seated in the booths and on the stools around eating various selections of junk food that could be made on a grill.
Donna pointed to a darkened room in the back of the shop where various bleeps, boops and explosions could be heard, "He's just back that way...He's with a cute guy named Drew...Keep me in mind alright."
Anne panicked, "Wha...where are you going?"
"I'll be by the door...OK?"
She nodded and walked into the darkened room. She squinted in order to see in the mass of college students huddled around the various games. Then she spotted him and began to make her way over to the group of four boys, "My glasses"
The offending eye wear quickly disappeared into her purse and she pushed further into the room. She thought she saw James at the Ms. Pac-Man game and headed over to him, "Hey Jim...Haven't seen you in a while."
The boy glanced over, "I'm David...Who you looking for again?" He asked while never taking his eyes off the game.
Anne blinked she was so sure it was him. Without her glasses she was pretty much blind, "Uh...Jim...Jim Possible."
The boy called David nodded, "Oh yea...King Dig Dug. He's over there with that loser Lipsky." He said gesturing towards a machine further down the isle.
"Oh...OK thanks..."
Anne started to wonder off and she over heard David telling his friend playing the machine with him, "She won't last long, chicks hate video games."
She frowned and then walked down the isle to another group of boys where she was finally recognized, "Hey Chin is that the red head that Jim met the last weekend?" Ramish whispered to his friend.
"Yea, yea, that's her." He whispered back.
Anne wasn't sure but Jim looked to be dressed in a nice white long sleeve shirt with the arms rolled up to his elbows, a skinny black neck tie, jeans and a pair of boat shoes that made him look quite stylish to her blurry vision.
"HA, I win again Lipsky...Admit it, in the Dig Dug world I am the ruler." Jim exclaimed happily backing away from the machine.
The scowling boy glared at the machine, "Stupid game...I will rule your world one day Possible."
Jim Possible was in full gloat mode, "Sit on it Drew, you might be a genius but you're no whiz at the video game scene."
"Ms. Pac-Man, now there's a real test of skill." Lipsky retorted.
Chin elbowed Jim in the ribs and pointed towards a shy red headed girl that had just walked up, "Oh...Anne, I didn't see you come in."
Anne smiled and took a step towards Jim when Drew Lipsky cut in front of them, "Well who do we have here...James never mentioned you."
"Anne...Anne Destructible..." She said nervously backing away from the leering young man.
"DREW" A loud deep voice resonated throughout the arcade.
Drew pulled his head into his shoulders at the sound of James Possible's voice but remained undaunted, "So Jim's trying to keep this delicate flower a secret from us."
"No" Jim said as he narrowed his eyes at his least favorite roommate.
Ramesh interrupted the two, "Maybe Jim could introduce us all to his friend."
Chin nodded his head in agreement, "A most excellent idea Rammie."
Jim Possible continued to keep his eye on the roommate he didn't fully trust and made the introductions, "Legsu Ramesh, Robert Chen" He hesitated and narrowed his eyes at his very creepy roommate, "Drew Lipsky. This is Anne Destructible...I met her at the mixer the other night."
Anne shook hands with the three boys, but was soon interrupted by a familiar song playing over the speaker system and all four of the boys looked up and screamed, "SCIENCE"
The favored Thomas Dolby song continued to play as Anne giggled at the behavior of the boys. Jim smiled at her and then joined the others, "She blinded me with SCIENCE."
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Isn't this song great."
"Good heaven's Miss South America, your beautiful."
Anne nodded and laughed, "I know" Then Anne remembered that he told he liked country western music, "I thought you didn't listen to this kind of music."
"No choice hanging around here. I also kind of like the Defeated Leopards Bringin' on the Heartburn."
She giggled, "Def Leppard, Bringin' on the Heartache."
Jim smiled, "Huey Dewey and Louie and the News.
Anne laughed and shook her head realizing that he was playing with her, "Yea Huey Dewey and Louie."
He began slowly dancing in front of her and she followed suit and stayed in step with him. He leaned his lean body over and sang quietly in her ear, "She's poetry in motion."
Ramesh elbowed Chen and motioned for him to leave the two alone. He nodded to his friend and waived for Drew to leave with them. Of course Drew ignored them. He smiled wickedly as he thought of a new use for his rival's girl friend involving a certain robotics project he was working on.
Ramesh reached behind Drew and grabbed him by the collar and yanked him away from the two. Now Drew followed his other roommates out of the arcade. He smiled a devious, "Jim Possible's new girlfriend has the most perfect body I have ever seen. She will be my guiding beacon as I pursue the perfect robotic woman."
"WOW, you used to play video games with Dr. Drakken?"
Both of the elder Possible's jumped in their seats. Startled back to reality from their reminiscing, "Uh...It was a long time ago Ronald, when video games required true skill."
Ron laughed, "Yea, 16 bit graphics, lame sound…beep, beep, beep"
Rufus popped out of Ron's pocket, "Yea beep, beep, beep."
Mr. Dr. P. cast the boy and his mole rat an icy stare that silenced him, "I believe the twins and I have some yard work to do." He said as he stood up from the table and walked out of the room
Mrs. Dr. P. giggled and turned to look at Kim and Ron, "Oh you've done it now." She whispered as she watched her husband leave in a huff. Then she turned her attention to her daughter and her new boyfriend, "OK, What did we forget?"
Kim pulled her head in and giggled nervously, "Money...we're both kind of broke."
Anne Possible laughed, "Prom tapped you out did it?"
Her daughter shrugged and nodded, "Yea"
Mrs. Dr. P. stood up and motioned for the two to follow her upstairs, "Let me check my purse."
"So Mrs. Dr. P. you two were sitting around talking about back in the day, huh?" Ron asked.
Mrs. Dr. P. frowned at Ron's description of her youth, "It wasn't that long ago."
Then Kim laughed and joined in on the teasing, "Old school."
They walked into the Possible's bedroom and she found her purse and pulled a twenty dollar bill from her billfold, "Honestly it wasn't that long ago."
Kim and Ron looked at each other, "Right." They both said at the same time and began laughing.
She thrust a twenty dollar bill at her daughter and replied tersely, "It wasn't that much different when I was your age."
Kim recognized her tone and realized she pushed one button too many and had hurt her mother's feelings, "Sorry mom"
Mrs. Dr. P. shoulders slumped, "It's alright honey…I…I was just remembering some unpleasant things about one of your father's old roommates…It still seems like it was only yesterday."
Kim lifted an eyebrow, "Drakken?"
The elder Possible nodded, "Lipsky"
"They're the same." Kim reminded her.
Her mother bristled, "Don't you think I know that? I was there, at the..."
Her mother broke off her sentence and Kim made a mental note to find out the truth about what happened all those years ago and why it disturbed her mother so much, "Come on Ron...We...We better head out now."
Ron gulped and nodded, "Yea, we better get moving."
Mrs. Possible followed them to the kitchen and watched the two leave. She returned to the kitchen table and had a seat. She shivered involuntarily at the memory of her first meeting with a very young Drew Lipsky.
She wiped a tear from her eye, "No, it wasn't that long ago at all."
