Red Lady

Ron yawned as he stretched himself in bed. A look to the right at the clock told him that it was barely seven o`clock. Usually it would be much too early for him to be awake at a Saturday but he was restless. The conversation between Mr. And Mrs. Possible, that he had overheard the day before was still lingering in his head.

-Flashback-

Kim and her two brothers had just gotten in the car but mr. Possible had wanted to talk to his wife in the house again. Mr. Possible was taking them to their grandmother but mrs. Possible couldn`t come with the, because she said that she wasn`t feeling so well.

Ron had to stay too, because his parents didn`t want him to bother the women and no matter how much the Possibles said that it wouldn`t be a problem: Ron's parents insisted of him staying home. This was the reason why Ron was standing at the car window and bidding far well to his best friend.

When Kim hushed finally convinced him that one weekend staying apart wouldn`t be a problem Ron went into the house to say goodbye to his second parents. He went to the kitchen where he heard the two talking. When he was just about to enter the kitchen he could understand what Mrs. Possible was saying it stopped him dead in his tracks, 'I have enough of your antics!

You almost gave it away! Kimmi asked my yesterday where the lipstick on your shirt was from. I told her we had an adult evening and she believed me. For now. You have to be more careful.' Mr. Possible snarled at his wife, 'As if. We are playing the role of the perfect couple way too good for anybody to figure out. Besides, with her new boyfriend I doubt, she will care much for anything else than him. You know how she gets.

Besides, I think you're just jealous, because I actually have dates. We are free for at least two years now. Not once have you had an other date. Hell, I bet I'm still the only man you ever were with.

Not that I care. And now, I've you would excuse me, Kimmi cup and the twins are waiting for me.' Ron had just enough time to school his features before Mr. Possible stormed out of the door. He looked shocked at Ron but when he saw his carefree expression he assumed that Ron didn't hear anything and walked away.

Out of the kitchen he could hear Mrs. Possible cry and it broke his heart. She was family to Ron and he loved her like a second mother. There was no way he was letting her suffer.

So when he heard the car drive away he took one deep breath and walked into the kitchen. When Mrs. Possible saw Ron she tried to stop her tears but failed miserably, 'R-on a-re-n't you supposed to be on your way home? I'

She saw Ron's guilty look and looked to the floor, 'You heard everything didn't you?' When Ron nodded she broke down again. Doing the only thing he could think of he took her in his arms. She grabbed him like her life depended on it and cried for all it was worth.

After what seemed like hours to Ron she had finally calmed down enough to stop crying. She wiped her tears away and looked at Ron, 'I guess you are wondering what's going on. Well, to make it short I'm just Mrs. Possible by name only. We simply hadn't a discourse yet, because of the kids. We didn't want them to grow up separated from one of their parents, so we simply said that we would still live together and act like everything was alright.

You aren't going to tell Kimmi, are you? Please Ron, I beg you to keep quit.' Ron sighted when he saw that fresh tears were flowing over Mrs. Possible's pretty face. He cupped her cheek and gently whipped them away with his thumps. He gave her a comforting smile, 'Do you really think I would do something that would hurt you Mrs. Dr. P?'

Mrs. Possible could only shake her had. She was completely dazed by Ron's behavior. This was a completely new side of Ron. She only knew him as the always confused, reckless boy who ran away at the slightest sign of danger. He was just a boy after all but the things he did now made her reconsider. Maybe he was more grown up then she had thought.

Ron guided her shaking form over to a chair. After she had set down he began to make hot chocolate for her, all the while talking to her, 'Now come on Mrs. Dr. P, why don't you tell me the whole story while drinking a delicious cup of hot chocolate. That cheers everybody up.'

Mrs. Possible gave a small smile at Ron's antics. He did wonders for her mode but it vanished when she remembered the sad past, 'Well, I guess they were cracks in our relationship the moment the twins were born. He didn't want an other child after Kimmi but I insisted of keeping them. After that it calmed for a while but it was never the same since then.

Shortly after that I noticed him looking at other women. At first I didn't think anything of it. I mean, it's annoying but I could deal with just looking. It didn't stop there though... From time to time he openly flirted right in front of me! Can you believe it?

When I couldn't stand it anymore I confronted him about it. He told me that he had stopped to find me attractive. He said I was ugly. It broke my heart: The man I loved said I was ugly.' Mrs. Possible started to cry again.

Ron chuckled lightly shock his head as he took her face in his hands and wiped her tears away again, 'I can't believe such an intelligent man could be plane stupid like this.' Mrs. Possible gazed at him confused, so Ron explained, 'There is simply no way the most beautiful women could be ugly!

First Mrs. Possible didn't realize what Ron had said but just as slowly as the realization sunk in a blush creped over her face, 'Y-you s-sure can't mean t-that. I mean…' a glare from Ron stopped her from saying more.

Then a smile got back on his face, 'We will go shopping tomorrow!' Now Mrs. Possible was really startled. Ron sighted, 'Seeing as you don't believe me I'll have to convince you! Tomorrow we will go to the mall and bring out the gorgeous lady in you.

And now help me make dinner. That should get your mind of off the silly ideas you have. After that we will watch a few movies together, what do you say?' Mrs. Possible could only nod.

-Flashback end-

Remembering the promise he made yesterday Ron slowly climbed out of the bed and began to get ready. He had slept there, after he had called his parents. Turned out it was ok for him to stay anyway.

He was just glad that he hadn't known that earlier or he would have tagged along with Kim and then Mrs. Possible would have been alone. Remembering Mrs. Possible Ron went down in the kitchen. Mrs. Possible was already awake and was just putting a huge load of pancakes on the table when Ron came through the door.

Seeing the pancakes Ron gave his goofy grin and rushed over to the table. Mrs. Possible couldn't suppress a chuckle when she saw Ron's eager expression. Watching Ron devour the breakfast she had made especially for him made her happy but she had to clear a few things with him, 'Ron, I can't thank you enough for yesterday. You really cheered me up and all but we won't go to the mall today. I appreciate the thought but I have nowhere near the money to just buy new things.' Ron looked at Mrs. Possible confused, 'For what do you need money? I'm treating you of course!'

Now Mrs. Possible clearly was confused. She knew that all of Ron's allowance went into his love for Nacos, 'And how do you plan on doing that?' Ron winked her forward a bit, as if to share a promise, 'I've got over half a million Dollars on the bank.' Mrs. Possibles eyes widened in shock, so Ron explained, 'Remember the check for the Naco? Well, I couldn't possible have kept all that money with me, so when Shigo stole it she didn't get it all.

And now, that that is cleared, let's drive to the Mall. I've got to prove this really sexy redhead how sexy she actually is.' Too surprised by Ron's compliment (and the 10 million Dollars) Mrs. Possible didn't offer any resistance as Ron guided her to her car.
