Enjoy!

Chapter 2- "It's gonna be One of those missions!"
Two neatly dressed men sat on one of the outside tables of Bueno Nacho under an umbrella, shading them from the morning sun.
Kim and Ron were just across the street at the entrance to Middleton Park.
"Is that them?" Asked Ron pointing at the table, "The guys who want to talk to us?"
"I guess so…" studied Kim, "Let's check them out"
They crossed the street and made it over to the table.
"Hi I'm Kim…"
"Possible, we know" Said one of the men.
Kim and Ron gave each other strange looks.
"Take a seat, please. There's a lot we need to talk about."
They each took a chair and took in a deep breath. For some reason, both felt this was going to be one of those missions.
"I'm Dave Wrong and this is Mark Wrong," Introduced one of the brothers.
"Together we're the Wrong brothers." Pointed out the other.
"As you already know we've called on you to help us through some trouble we're having with the airliner we've designed" explained Dave.
"Wade did give us a quick briefing." Remarked Kim.
"I hope he didn't alarm you in any way!" smiled Mark.
"No! Not at all! It's just well…"
"You've never flown an airliner before!" Dave added.
"Exactly!"
"What?" Ron exclaimed, hoping this conversation isn't going where he thinks it is.
"Look, we know you've flown a space craft not long ago" began Dave.
"And this impressed us!" Finished Mark.
"Because we were in the midst of designing our airliner." Added Dave.
"And we knew that no one would be willing to test it in a real life scenario" Mark finished again.
"And you thought that I might take up the test." Stated Kim.
"You do say you can do anything!" Dave pointed out.
"I told you it sounded braggy!" Snapped Ron earning an eye from Kim.
"Look, our new design for an airliner is as user-friendly as it gets!"
"How user-friendly?" Ron asked.
"The Pilot-Combat arcade game is more complicated!" Mark assured.
"Then why are there no willing pilots to take this test?"
Dave and Mark staggered in their chairs and several stutters came out.
"Donnow!" Dave quickly shrugged.
"Beats me!" conceded Mark.
Kim and Ron both raised brows at the beaming men.
"We'll get back to you on this!"
"Sure!" Mark agreed.
"You have our number!" reminded Dave.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron walked alongside Kim in the park.
"I don't get it!" Ron scratched his head..
"It is a little…" Kim started but Ron interrupted, "Absurd?"
"Puzzling!" Kim corrected, "Look Ron we have nothing to do all summer, the one time a mission comes up, I'm taking it!"
"And what makes you think I wanted to take it?"
"Because…" Kim stopped walking, "Because we always go on missions together…"
Kim looked at Ron and saw a bothered expression on his face.
"You're not coming along?" she asked.
"It's not that…it's…"
"Oh the whole, Rufus thing?" Kim gagged.
"No!" Ron snapped.
"Then you should have no problem!" Kim started walking.
"Kim, I'm not bringing Rufus along."
Kim halted and turned to look at Ron.
"You are kidding…right?" Kim stuttered, "Please tell me you're kidding."
"I'm not." Ron shook his head.
Kim sighed and rubbed her forehead, "You can't just not bring Rufus. He's essential to our missions! Remember the Rufus…"
"Factor, I know!" Ron snapped, "But the last thing I want right now is to have him flying a plane with me! Last night had a meaning…the dream was a vision of the future I know it is!"
"Whatever!" Kim brushed off, "The last thing I want is a whining you flying a plane with me!"
Kim started walking off leaving Ron almost regretting his decision. But he felt that it was for the best. Or at least that's what he hoped.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It was early morning. The sun is barely lighting the sky. A cold morning breeze refreshed even the lousiest travelers.
Kim and Ron stood outside Middleton Airport in their mission outfits. The building stretched far and wide.
"Well, here we are!" Kim indicated the obvious.
"Are you sure the rest of the crew will meet us here?" Ron remarked.
Kim pulled the Kimmunicator out of her pocket.
"Wade?" Called Kim.
"Yeah?" came a reply from a dark skinned ten year old boy, dressed in his pajamas and holding his bedtime teddy, "you two at the airport yet?"
"We're here and no one else is!"
Wade rubbed his eye, "I'll see what I can do!"
The screen went blank.
"They'd better show up soon, the flight is scheduled in an hour!"
Kim turned around and found Ron leaning his head against a light pole with his eyes closed.
"Ron!"
"Huh?" His eyes snapped open, "Yeah! One order of cheese, table three!"
Kim slapped her forehead and gave off a grunt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave and Mark stood near the end of the bridge that docked with the plane.
"Ah, Kim and Ron!" greeted Dave, "I see you've made it, excellent!"
"Don't even give me that!" snapped Kim, "You said that the crew were going to meet us outside!"
"Sorry about that!" Dave replied disappointedly, "It turns out the crew will be made up of…you two."
"What!" Kim and Ron exclaimed in unison, Kim shook her head and asked, "How are we gonna fly the plane and serve the passengers at the same time?"
"Well, I'm afraid…you're on your own, have a good flight! Bye!" within a second the two dashed past Kim and Ron.
"We'll meet you in New York!" Mark's voice echoed from the other end.
Kim's jaw finally found its place, "Ron, prepare yourself, because this is gonna be one of those missions."
"We could ditch, you know!"
"And miss punishing the two jerks who set us up in New York?"
"Good point!" Ron smirked, "I think we've finally found something we can both agree with on this mission!"
"Okay, Ron, you greet the guests on board and I'll…go through the whole…procedures." Kim disappeared through the doorway into the plane.
"You got it…greet the guests…no big…greet them…nothing to it!"
With that, Ron stood at the doorway and anxiously waited for the passengers who will join them on this journey.
