Ron Stoppable is Productive and Efficient?

By Tinytoad

"This way governor" the scientist said leading the Colorado governor past sandbag emplacements and soldiers "as you know the way to increase the countries wealth is to increase productivity and efficiency so we have developed Drug P. E." They walked past a tank and in-between two howitzers.

"Well I'm always interested to see how our tax dollars are spent" said the governor.

"We have tested Drug P. E. on lab rats and the increase in their productivity and efficiency has been remarkable" the scientist continued.

By now they had walked up to the scientist's laboratory. All the soldiers guns were pointed at the laboratory's entrance door. The governor raised his hand to open the door but the scientist stopped him peering through the door's glass, the governor followed suit. Inside rats were scurrying around in an organised way and there seemed to be a production line assembling tiny rat sized guns and tanks.

"We don't quite know what their up to" said the scientist "they seem to have built an army. We think we've entered into an non-aggression pact with them but as they only squeak it's hard to tell. As long as we keep supplying them with cheese they haven't attacked. The point is that their productivity and efficiency has increased greatly, they used to struggle finding their way around a maze look at them now. Before Drug P. E. is added to the nation's water supply to increase the nation's wealth, we have one more test to carry out"

"You don't mean?" The governor said

"Yes" said the scientist "we need to test Drug P. E. on a high school student"

(A short while later at the Middleton High School)

Steve Barkin and the same scientist who had been talking to the governor stood at the doorway to a classroom.

"I'm looking for a student who clearly needs improvement" said the scientist.

Without hesitation Barkin shouted "Stoppable!"

"Yes Mr. Barkin" Ron said in a resigned way

"Roll up your sleeve Stoppable" Barkin ordered

When Ron saw the scientist's syringe he moaned "o'man I'm getting a shot"

Once he had been injected Ron sat back down on his chair rubbing his arm. Outwardly the same apart from his left eye which repeatedly twitched. Inside him Drug P. E. started to work it's way into his brain.

After the class Kim meet up with Ron at their lockers, somehow Ron had gained a clip board, tape measure and stop watch on the short walk to the lockers.

"Ron what was that shot for, no one else got one" Kim asked

Ron shrugged his shoulders

"Oh Ron don't you think you should have asked" Kim chided him

Then suddenly Kim's face was transformed into a goofy, wide eyed smile, after some stuttering she just managed to say "Josh Mankey" the next instant she was stood next to Josh, Kim's crush. Josh was putting up posters for the Annual Middleton High Pickle Dance. The dance was to celebrate the world famous Middleton pickle works. The factory provided an unlimited supply of pickled onions for the students and the parents clubbed together to buy a large bowl of breath freshing mint's by the exit.

"Hi Kim" said Josh.

Kim just about managed to say "Josh", she was always completely tongued tied when face to face with her crush, followed by a car crash of incoherent words in her failed attempt at asking him to the dance. Finally with a red face she fell into silence.

Ron had joined them.

"Hello Josh" said Ron "Kim would like to ask you to the dance"

Kim choked and her face turned even redder

Josh opened his mouth to answer but Ron silenced him by holding up a hand

"For maximum efficiency the answers are multiple choice" Ron said "a, no. b, yes or c, I'd like to, your very nice but I'm washing my hair that night"

Josh looked rather startled and did know whether to look at Kim or Ron. He settled on Kim

"Yes, er b"

"That's settled then, the optimum time for us to leave for the next class" Ron said looking at his stop watch "is in 4, 3, 2, 1, now" and he pulled Kim away by her arm.

"Ron what has gotten into you?" Kim said, half pleased she was going to the dance with Josh and half wishing she had disappeared into the floor.

Meanwhile back in the laboratory a formation of 24 small tanks started their engines, each with a rat poking his head out of the turrets hatch. Each rat wearing a tiny rat sized helmet. The lead rat shouted some orders "squeak squeak squeak!" and the tanks started forward.

It took sometime for the soldiers guarding outside to realize they had gone.

"Where have they gone?" Shouted the commander "we've got all the exits covered!"

A few brave soldiers crept inside, guns ready, there were no rats. Then they found an open drain cover. As any rat army would they had left by the sewers.

"God help us if they get in the central pipe" the commander said "it goes straight under the Pentagon"

"Er why does the sewer pipe in Middleton, Colorado go under the Pentagon in Washington?" A Lieutenant asked.

"The stenographer was hard of hearing when they past the sewer funding bill, and misheard billion dollars instead of million dollars, well they had to use up the extra money somehow, and by the time the money ran out they were under the Pentagon" shrugged the commander.

Meanwhile on a small Scottish island, entirely covered in golfing courses, in the home of the worlds most dangerous golfer, a golfing trophy started to flash. This signalled important information was coming in."Ah your wee beastie" said Duff Killigan reading the score card that had popped out of the trophy "there's miniature tanks loose in Middleton, aye, they could be worth a pretty penny"

Soon he had started up his tartan blimp and was flying towards Middleton.
