I am a sap of a romantic who just had this idea stuck in my head. Defining Hell IV, by cpneb helped in that regard to make sure that it stayed stuck until this was written.

Time frame: This is the replacement of "The Cupid Effect" in year four of Kim Possible. It will be AU because I'm not going to write the whole episode's beginning. (Beware of the Ron-silliness, again)

Iffert's Flaming One-shots Presents:

A Possible Load of Happiness

Part 2: The Set Up

It took twenty minutes to hammer out a good plan with Hitch. The idea sounded alright as Ron called back Wade and passed to by him, Wade almost was gleeful at the idea. Then, he made two more phone calls. One was to work, telling Barkin that he was on a special mission for Valentine's Day for a friend. Surprisingly, Barkin was very willing to help out by rearranging the schedule where Ron could work that night, during the graveyard shift, which didn't matter too much considering that there was no school on Sunday.

The second was to Monique, because to pull this off he 'needed' her help. Which only cost him two tickets to next month's main event at the GWA. In honesty it tanked, but he knew that Kim would only go because Ron asked her to enjoy it with him. She practically squealed at the whole idea of setting Wade and Joss together, and admitted afterward that she might have done it for free. The tickets were just a bonus.

Ron stood in front of the 'Banana Club' and sighed a bit, with both of his hands in his pockets. It was about two in the afternoon when he arrived. With a confidence building breath he preceded to walk into the store. 'Time for Phase One.' Ron thought as his roaming eyes reached his first target, with a wink to Rufus, who had just given a rolling of the eyes saying 'oh brother'.

His eyes shot over to his girlfriend as she was picking out a pair of blue jeans to try on. While his first instinct was to call out 'KP!' like he usually did Ron instead, and uncharacteristically just watched her for a few moments. There was a moment where he wanted to burn this picture into his mind forever. Not that saving the world, and all of the activities that the two of them shared made her anymore or less special, these were the few, and honestly for Ron too rare times that Kim seemed at peace. He sighed, and could hear that Rufus, though still annoyed over his rude wake up call, sigh along with him.

Monique saw Ron come in the door, and gave a quick nod as she turned Kim around to show off the latest in Club Banana fashions. She smiled at her long time friend saying, "This blouse here will literally knock Ron's socks off."

Temporarily lost in her own thoughts Kim wordlessly looked over said blouse. She shook her head as she had sworn that she had seen that blouse last week, but, giving her best girlfriend the benefit of the doubt Kim gave it a look anyway.

One of the first things that Kim discovered when Ron became her boyfriend was that it wasn't the look that caught the young man's attention, it was the fabric. Kim would always admit that Ron Stoppable would never know what was or what wasn't in fashion, but he did know what 'felt' good to him. Monique teased her a bit on this point saying that she knew what the guy 'actually' wanted against his skin. In her words, "That boy's wanting to be DUIYL." That made Kim burn a blush for almost an hour as she was told that it meant, 'Dressed up in your love'.

As the two talked about the ins and outs of the blouse, as well as what would go well with them, Ron took that opportunity to close in on Kim. In measured steps that he learned from the Yamanuchi, Ron stealthily reached his target without anyone the wiser. With a sly smile he brought both hands across Kim's waist and gave her a hug.

"And how is my bondig... EYOUCH!" Ron exclaimed as he soon found himself thrown onto the display table. While he didn't not expect that to happen, part of Ron was disappointed that Kim's fight or flight instincts still kicked in upon someone touching her unexpectedly. 'Oh, who knew that Phase One would be so painful.' Ron groaned to himself as he opened his eyes.

Kim looked at her man with a mixture of anger and surprise as she sternly asked him, "Ronald Stoppable, what in the Blue Tropical Caribbean do you think your doing?" Monique of course was over to the side snickering a bit.

"Well, I was giving..." he paused to catch his breath as he started to get up, "my girlfriend a hug." Sitting up he waved hi to Monique, who simply rolled her eyes at him, "What, I've seen Brick do that to Bonnie a couple of times and she never complained."

"I'm not Bonnie." Kim favored Ron with a frosty gaze. The last thing she wanted to be in any way shape or form was to be compared to her high school arch-nemesis. Her frown deepened as she said, "You know that I don't like being surprised from behind."

"Sorry, KP." Ron said honestly remorseful. Still, inside Ron's mind, he wished that she would lighten up when they were off mission. "So what are you two up to, as if I had to guess. And what is it with all of the hearts? Are they coming fully into fashion?"

If Ron hadn't called Monique earlier that day, she would have thought that the guy had lost his mind. She had watched him over the years and had to admit the guy certainly did know how to play 'dumb' more then being the part. With the Prom, came a bit of maturity on his part, from what Monique had seen. At first it was hard to see, partially because of the new relationship energy that the two exhibited; but as the summer turned to fall, she could see that Ron had actually stepped up. His goofiness never left him, but there was a more... responsible feeling that Monique got from him.

Sighing, Monique fell into her part of the 'act' because this was as much for Kim as it was for her cousin anyway. "Don't you know what time of year it is Ron?" she asked as she spotted Joss over by the T-Tex Jeans display, with her own back turned toward the door.

"Oh, oh yeah right, hey KP I've got something for you." Ron said digging around one of his many pockets, Kim seemed to lock on Ron as she waited a bit in anticipation. Her look of anticipation turned to disappointment as he pulled out a toothbrush, "Its National Dental Hygiene Month." He gave a look of perplexity as she only stared at him. "What? I thought you liked the color."

"Um... thanks Ron." Kim said slowly as she looked to Monique for help. Monique trying very hard not to laugh waved her hands out as if to say, 'the guy's your problem.' With a wince she turned back to her boyfriend, "You do know what Wednesday is don't you?" 'Please!' she pleaded.

"What?" Ron said wondering if he could pull this off with Kim as he did with Wade. Deciding to tempt fate, and hopefully not the relationship Ron ventured, "The fourteenth? I don't remember, do we have a date?"

Kimberly Ann Possible nearly decked her boyfriend right then and there. "We'd better." she all but growled under her breath.

Monique couldn't help but to interject, "You know, February fourteenth, Valentine's Day, Ron." Part of her, a HUGE part of her hoped that Ron was smart enough not to let this go any further. The smaller part was enjoying the floor show.

"Oh, OH, Valentine's Day... nope hate the holiday. Stupidest thing every invented." Ron started to say, knowing that he was REALLY tempting fate at this point, but he couldn't help himself, "Never saw the point since I never had a girlfriend..." then gave a pause as he stood up as if to give some thought of what to say next, "Except I do this year. Aww man this tanks big time. Sorry KP, I kinda forgot."

Kim's featured softened a bit as she realized that he was still was getting used to doing all the things that couples did. And Ron did try, her mind pointed out, still chastising herself for judo flipping her boyfriend for giving her some lovin'. Kim had to admit, it felt nice while it lasted. "Its okay Ron, you've still got time. So what are you doing here? Aren't you working today?" It was honestly surprising that he wasn't at work, because somehow someway Ron found enjoyment out of what he was doing. That was something, Kim thought again in her mind, that really attracts me to the guy.

"Oh, I've got inventory after midnight, so I don't have to go in until late late." Ron said waving off the thought. It was marginally true, the late shift always did inventory once a month, which was why he got to do the schedule change in the first place.

Before the conversation got any further, Kim heard, Wade's voice, "Quick, Drakken's got a Repulsion Cannon and is threatening to push the moon away." 'No, no, not now blast it!' her mind screamed as she reached for the Kimmunicator.

Just to see there was a blank screen.

Turning behind her, Kim saw the rare sight of Wade Load out and about. He was sporting a grin while holding something in his hand, "Sorry about that", he said reaching for the Kimmunicator. "I just wanted to pop by and change out your battery, you know, maintenance and stuff like that."

Kim stifled a giggle as she gingerly handed her tech the device. "That's okay Wade, I'm glad to see you running round actually."

As the two were talking Monique pulled Ron over to the side, saying in a whisper, "Your laying it on a bit thick aren't you?"

"Nah." Ron answered as he shook his head. Then looking over to Joss he nodded, "Don't you have another 'customer' to take care of?"

Rolling her eyes, Monique quipped, "Just slow your roll a bit. Everyone's here, time for the 'mature' Stoppable to kick his plan into high gear." With that she excused herself from the group walking over to Joss.

Ron for his part waved hi to Wade, "Hey there Wade-Meister come out to hang for a bit?"

"Um... yeah, you know, I do get out a little, every once in a while." Wade suddenly tensed up as he babbled a bit. It was sweet and endearing to both Kim and Ron, though for two completely different reasons. "To, you know, see the sun and stuff."

As Kim was about to speak, she could hear from behind her, "Well howdy partner." Joss was walking from the T-Tex Rack where she had grabbed a couple of new jeans, "I thought I'd have to round you up from your own home to see ya face to face." She placed the jeans at the counter and joined the group placing herself between Ron and Wade.

"Wellll, um... you didn't have to... I would have loved... I mean liked to have see you where ever... you know." Wade felt very flushed from embarrassment. Slowly, he backed away from the group as chuckled a bit. 'Too good, she is just wwwayyy too good and pretty for me.' Wade thought panicking. 'I'd better make my getaway before I say something else stupid.'

"You alright there partner?" Joss said stepping away from the group herself, with concern toward Wade. 'Maybe he hasn't had anything to eat. Probably too many people at the same time', she thought to herself as she closed the distance between the two of them, "Why don't we let the rest of the gang hang out by themselves for a bit while you and I rustle us up some grub?"

"Well, you know, I'm umm.. having to ... you know, scan for hits... Right, scan for hits on the site." Wade actually accelerated as Joss got closer, nibbling on his fingernails as he turned away. "You never know when Drakken or Dr Dementor is going to strike next."

Joss's shoulders slumped a bit as Wade made his get-away. 'He's worse then some of the bronco's I had to break in on the ranch.' she thought glumly, 'Maybe I got too close too quick for his comfort.' Turning back she waved at him with a halfway cheery face. "Okay then partner, then its a rain check, I'll see ya later."

Knowing that he had made a clean break Wade made the mistake of turning back and saying, "Sure, it'll be a date." As the words fell out of his mouth Wade slapped his forehead for the stupidity. 'Way wrong thing to say dummy.', he chastised himself, once again making his way quickly to the exit of the mall, and to the bus stop to get home. As far as Wade was concerned he was going to nail his door shut and never come out again as long as he lived.

The remaining people's reactions seemed as mixed as the signals just given. Kim looked half mortified, half surprised that Wade actually said it. Monique was almost on the floor with laughter. Joss just simply stared at the door with a blush on her face. And Ron...

... well Ron just stood there with a very satisfied look to his face and arms crossed.

Everything was going according to plan.
