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 at the beginning)

I want to thank each and every one of you who have commented, reviewed, alerted and gave props to my story. Don't worry, if I haven't replied to you yet I will very soon.

Iffert's Flaming One-shots Presents:

A Possible Load of Happiness

III.

After a few minutes of milling around for a bit, Joss decided to try on some more clothing. Wade was long gone and there was nothing more to do other then plan for their next meeting, if there was one. Lassos and knots were the first things that came to her mind.

Fortunately, Ron seemed to have the presence of mind to leave her be for a few minutes, after Kim asked. 'Okay, the first approach was going to be hard. Dad knew it, I knew it, and so did Nana, goodness Ah'm glad that Kim is here to talk about this.' Another woman's advice would, hopefully, do wonders for her currently bruised ego. While the invitation that Wade had given was in fact for a date, he probably didn't mean it to come out that way.

"I thought colts were supposed to notice fillies by now." She said out loud in frustration. Changing clothing she decided to go with the sky blue blouse and stone washed denim look.

"Boys like him and Ron are HH and sometimes dumber then a box of rocks." She heard back as a response. Monique was there as well. She could see the young sales person looking over the privacy door. "Blue, especially that dark shade, definitely brings out your eyes girl, but I would have thought that your more of a earthy style myself."

"I am." Joss sighed a bit and snapped, "I was trying to color coordinate with my partner." She took off the blouse and flung it to the seat behind her. "And that's not even panning out as I wanted."

"Give the poor guy a chance. He's SC'ed and your going to have to work around that if you want to make something happen." Monique smiled as she leaned back waiting for Joss to redress and make some more selections.

Kim, who had been silent throughout stepped from her own privacy booth. Monique gave a thumbs up to her best girlfriend, as she gave an apprizings once-over. The clothing looked similar to the blacktop and khaki cargo's that Kim used for the majority of her missions. However, the difference could be told immediately. Her blouse was silk in material, form fitting around her body a bit tighter, and her khakis were a short mini dress that stopped right above her knees.

"Girlfriend, are you trying to give you BFBF a heart attack or are you 'savin'' Ron from his virginity?" Monique teased as she mocked an exasperated sigh and gave a mischievous smile. She was rewarded by a stammering and a deep blush by the older redhead. Then looking over at a still slightly frustrated Joss she amended, "Or are you trying to show 'lil Bit here how to lasso herself a buckin' bronco?"

Joss herself entertained the idea for a few moments, but in the end decided against it. The first reason was because she knew that 'provocative' dress was definitely not her style, and this was one time that she wasn't going to even try to imitate her cousin. The second, and more important reason was because of Wade. If he reacted to her that badly with her plain clothing, there was a good certainty that Wade would be running away screaming if she dressed half as ... sexy as her cousin. "No. Ah'm definitely not followin' that road." Again her shoulders slumped, as a frown started to form on her face.

Monique stopped teasing and gave Kim a look. Kim's reaction, or lack there in was a concern to her, she was sure that Joss was looking to her older cousin for some sort of advice, or conformation about the whole sitch.

Taking her girlfriend's signal, Kim gave a sigh walking over to Joss and placed a arm around her cousin's shoulder. "Listen, Monique's right, Wade's been in his room most of the time that I have known him. He's not used to being around people, much less people that he's got feeling for outside of his family."

Joss rolled around that thought in her mind. Did Wade actually have those feelings or were he like every other boy she knew, looking at the body not at the mind? That was the 'stich about Wade, she loved the fact that he took the time to talk shop with her, both her gymnastics and robotics. He was there, in a sense when she had her first real crush, two months ago, at school; Wade had actually pushed her to pursue the guy. He was there, consoling her when Joss discovered that low-live varmint was just trying to get with her for her body.

That was when she started to like him. Not just crushin' like Jessie Lee, but LIKIN' him. The guy was selfless, considerate and above all else rather engaging in discussions.

And he made her laugh, whether it was from the misadventures of Ron Stoppable. She laughed so hard when he described what had happened with the whole 'library book caper' that she nearly fell out of her chair. He also did those weird looks when he was working hard on a project, still giving Joss some time to just talk for a bit. No matter how busy he was Wade always gave her a few moments.

Outside of family, those were the most precious of her life.

"I like 'm, Kim." She turned and looked up to her older cousin. The simple confession was all that needed to be said as Kim nodded. "But, Ah want... Ah need to know if he feels the same. Sometimes Ah wish that he'd give me such a magical moment like you and Ron had at Prom."

Kim had been working on Joss's 'imitating' her heroes. Giggling a bit in her mind she was reminded by the 'magical moment' tied up in a Bueno Nacho store room on props. That was Ron's style... not Wade's. She dismissed a stray thought of 'creating' a magical moment for her younger cousin. If things happened, they happened, if it was forced... that would definitely be miles and miles of bad road.

Finally, Kim spoke up, "Just give him time Joss. If I know Wade, he's got something in mind, if he does like you like that."

"Are you KIDDING ME?" the super-genius said as he was hitting his head on the desk, "I have no IDEA what to do now."

Ron stood against the closed door of his friend's room for a half an hour listening to him rant about Joss. Catching up was easy as he followed Wade to the bus stop riding home with him. After a few minutes of convincing Wade not to nail his room shut, Ron made the 'mistake' of mentioning that everything was going according to plan.

With an easy grin, Ron put up both hands to Ron retorted, "I told you, The Ron-man's got your back. As a matter of fact, everything is going better then expected."

"Better?" Wade started to hyperventilate, which to Ron wasn't very fun to watch considering he had does so many times in the past himself. "I sounded like a blithering idiot. I'm just glad that I was looking at her face and not her..."

"Its alright Wade, promise. That was just a first meeting, we had to gage if there was going to be any magic." Ron said crossing his arms never once losing his grin. "And I have to say that she at least was attracted."

"But... I'm ugly... I'm fat... the only good thing about me is that I have an IQ that would rival Ben Franklin. Look at my clothing, I look like a reject from the Grunge Association." Wade rubbed his face several times trying to push back any thoughts of Joss from his head.

He'd have a better chance of defeating Shego in mortal combat.

Grabbing a seat Ron sat down next to Wade. Ron knew that he had to cut down this bad trip of self-destruction that Wade was threatening to do to himself. "Listen Wade, I'm going to talk straight to you." Ron's tone dropped to a more serious tone, "I'm not a looker either. Nor am I the strongest fighter, smartest, or best dressed perfect person out there... but Kim loves me anyway. God knows why but she does, but she does. It took me over a year and two boyfriends to finally get the guts to lay my feelings out on the line. Do you know what I found out Wade? None of that mattered one nacho. Why? Because what she loved the most about me wasn't out here." He motioned over his body, then he touched his heart, "It was all in here. If Joss is anything like her cousin, its the same way. If... no, that's not right, she DOES like you like that; your going to have tell her the same. Possible girls, if nothing else, are notorious for wanting their boys to step up to the plate."

"Soo... if that's true, then what do I do next?" Wade said as the panic subsided. He absorbed everything that Ron said, and while he wasn't totally convinced that his friend was right, Wade did have to admit that she wasn't rebuked by his appearance. It finally penetrated the fog bank of the self pity that Joss did come toward him at the mall.

Set on a course of action Ron's serious look faded back to a grin, "Ok, Wade, tomorrow Joss is going to be at the Convention demonstrating the Tornado Mark III. All you have to do, after the demonstration, is to go and talk to her."

"So what do I talk about?" Wade said skeptically, he was pretty sure that confessing is undying devotion was SO not going to happen.

"Talk shop. Be in a place that your comfortable with. Take her to lunch, I'm sure Slim won't mind missing his daughter for a small bit of time." Ron said with confidence. "Don't worry about feelings at that point, if something happens then cool, if not, then at least you'll have your first chance to 'engage' her. You'll be wrapped around her finger in no time."

"Don't you mean, Joss around my finger?" Wade said as his friend simply gave him a crooked smile and laugh.

"No. And trust me, you'll love every minute of it." With a smirk Ron sat back in the chair feeling very confident that Wade understood.
