Setting: Summer after "So The Drama", however "Gorilla Fist" didn't happen, and Ron has been to Japan several other times as part of the Exchange Student program. (I plan to retro-actively cover those accounts as this story unfolds.)

Summer School On the Path Less Taken
Chapter 2: An interesting day at the airport
Kim stood in Ron's room for what seemed an eternity, completely unable to think or move. Her mind flew from rage, to confusion, to embarrassment, to excitement so quickly she couldn't focus on a single thought. Slowly her racing mind slowed and started to form words. "Where? ... Room. ... His ...Who's? ... Friendboys ... Blond boy, with pretty brown eyes. ... Name? ... Mine or his? ... Either ... Rim ... no Kon ... no me Kim, him Ron ...".
Feeling like a puppy that just got a pat on the head. Her mind cheered as synapse where once again starting to fire. "Where boy? ... Left after ... After? ... After grabbing your..."
"Ronald!!!" She screamed to the emptiness of his room.
--------------------------------------------
As Ron pulled his motorcycle into short-term parking. Ron was going to miss his new Motorcycle almost as much as he was going to miss Kim and Rufus. After Kim's sloth received some impressive upgrades from the Tweebs and Wade, it really got Global Justice's attention. GJ, offered to give Team Possible a copy of their newly developed "Battle Bike" in exchange for the details of any enhancements made by Wade and the Tweebs to the motorcycle. The "Battle Bike" was everything a solo, or two-man team could want in the field. It was quit. Even at top speed, the electric engine made nearly no noise. It had enough of a fairing to allow for protection from small arms fire. The windshield contained a touchscreen HUD (Heads Up Display) that could be used as a computer, Kimunicator, night vision display, and targeting system. (GJ had removed the offensive weapons prior to putting the motorcycle in Ron's name.) The advance shocks and off-road tires worked well in all terrains. Rear and side storage allowed the team to carry extra supplies and medical equipment. It had a lot of potential to help Ron and Kim on there missions, but the summer started quietly enough so it hadn't seen any action yet.
Wade and the Tweebs hadn't had a chance to get the hands on it yet, and Ron was a little worried about what they might do to the Ron-man's new ride while he was away. But at the moment he had bigger problems on his mind. He was worried about Kim killing him, or worse yet, breaking up with him.
Ron asked himself "I wonder if Kim will try to stop me here at the airport? ... You didn't answer any of her questions, and you groped her into a state of shock so you could make a quick escape, what do you think? ... Yeah, I'd better get ready."
At least Ron knew he had a good head start on Kim. Her car was fast, but traffic was backed up, and Ron was able to take his motorcycle off-road to get to the airport in half the time is was going to take Kim.
He knew the security check point wouldn't slow Kim down. Team Possible had full access to all restricted areas of the airport, as they where frequently requested to provide extra security for special VIPs. Maybe Ron could use that to his advantage. His first priority was to meet with an old friend.
--------------------------------------------
As Kim drove to the airport, Rufus slept in her lower pant leg pocket. Kim was left to her thoughts. "He may have thought he had escape her questions with that dirty trick, but she was going to prove him wrong! I still can't believe he did that!" she mumbled in a voice some where between impressed and outraged. Kim was upset enough, she could almost block the little voice commenting on how perfectly his hand fit over her..."
Kim called Wade on the Kimunicator. "Wade, I want you to track Ron's chip and patch it through to my Kimunicator. Make sure his plane doesn't leave."
"I'm on it Kim. So, what's going on?"
"My weird-ar is pegged out. Ron is hiding something, and this whole "Exchange Program" thing is sounding pretty fishy. Just get me a lock on his location, and I'll get him to tell me the rest. ... Even if I have to resort to a dirty trick or two of my own."
"What dirty trick?" Wade asked.
Kim blushed a little as she didn't realize she had actually said that last part of that sentence out loud. "Um.. never mind"
"I'm patching his tracking chip to your Kimunicator now. I've added an overlay of the airport blueprints so it will be easier for you to navigate."
"Thanks Wade, you Rock!"
A few minutes later and Kim was at the airport. Advancing on the dot that was Ron's tracking chip she started working her way to the cargo warehouse of the airport. "What is Ron doing there?"
Kim moved quickly, but she seamed unable to catch up. Once she was sure Ron was heading toward a dead-end, according to the blueprints on her Kimunicator, but as she approached all she found was air. The dot appeared to have passed directly through what she found to be a brick wall. Kim quickly backtracked to find a new route that would intercept Ron's.
Beep Beep Be Beep!!
"What up Wade?"
"Kim, Ron's plane is getting ready to leave the Gate. Should I hold it up?"
"No, Ron's still down here, and if he misses it, I for one won't be too unhappy about it."
"OK, call me if you need anything!"
"Thank Wade!"
After another 10 minutes, Ron's tracking chip starting heading out of the cargo hanger and back up toward terminal. Twice more Kim had gotten close to Ron's location and lost him. She never got close enough to see Ron, or let Ron see her, but each move of his seemed to prevent Kim from closing the distance to him. Finally the dot moved toward Gate C-27, and stopped. This was the gate where the flight to Japan had boarded and already departed, minutes earlier. Kim finally felt relief as she was closing in on Ron's location.
Kim approached the gate, her Kimunicator directed her to a spot near the picture window overlooking the airfield. Sitting on a railing by the window was Ron's Kimunicator, and his watch. But no Ron. Kim noticed someone moveing toward her.
The stranger approached her and handed Kim an envelope.
The envelope simple had "Kim" written on it, but she identified is as Ron's handwriting.
"Where is Ron! What have you done to him! Who are you!"
At this moment Rufus looked out of Kim pocket and squeaked with delight as he quickly climbed out of jumped into the arms of the stranger, as he Yelled "Yori!!"

A/N: Sorry to make this chapter short, but I figured a little something was better than nothing. More to come soon.
