Standing by a Moment

Kim stared dreamily up at the blackboard not even seeing what was written there, memories of the trip to Mexico filling her head with lovely images. She could remember the exquisite taste of the food, the luxurious feel of the water, the tangy smell of the sea air, the glorious sight of the sunsets and the rhythmic sound of the waves. It had been an incredible weekend as she usually traveled to other countries on missions and had never really been able to take the time to enjoy the sights. To be able to experience Mexico was certainly different from doing a mission in Mexico. She was so wrapped up in her memories that she never really registered the hand that was waving in front of her face. "Kim...KP...you awake in there?"

Kim started, jerking her head back, as the voice broke into her thoughts, "Hunh...Ron?"

"What's up KP, you seem completely out of it." Ron looked somewhat concerned but Kim had been doing this lately and he was convinced it was a pregnancy thing.

Abby snickered at this, which earned her a glare from Kim. Abby just smirked in return. Kim replied, "I just had a great Valentine's Day Ron. How was yours?"

"The Ronster is in a relationship. Booyah!" Ron danced about, with Rufus joining in on his shoulder. It was cute, in a dorky sort of way, which Ron excelled at. Kim couldn't help but smile while watching this.

"You and Yori?"

Rufus nodded while Ron continued his victory dance, not to be deterred by mere words.

"I'm really happy for you. I think the two of you would make a cute couple." Kim smiled at her friend, honestly happy for him. Yori seemed to be a nice girl and was interested in helping her friend get better at Monkey style. All good things in her opinion.

"Thanks KP. You know, maybe the group of us should all go out together? You know, a double date."

Kim thought about it for a second, realizing that the idea had some appeal and then narrowed her eyes in realization, "You just want to do that so it looks like you have four hot women with you...isn't it?"

Ron blushed and had the good sense to look embarrassed once he was found out. "I thought it might be a good plan. Well, you can't blame a guy for trying."

"Actually Ron, you can." returned Kim, smiling sweetly, with a slightly evil undertone that made Ron swallow heavily.

"Really? Oh man...and here I thought I was in the clear."

Abby just started laughing as this whole thing almost too absurd for words. Sometimes these kids were just insane, but then again Kim saved the world on a regular basis so that almost served as proof of the insanity and Ron was right there with her. She ignored their stares as she realized that she was having more fun with this assignment than the rest of her time with GJ or the Secret Service. Abby got to do her job and hang out with people that she was coming to like more and more, even Shego who was a reformed criminal. She had never thought she might ever like a criminal. All of that made her think through things about her life and her future in a way that she hadn't before. While she liked working for GJ, the work in the Secret Service had almost been more fulfilling, as she had worked to protect people. It was something to consider.

They moved on to the next class, with Abby scanning the hallways for Tara or anyone who looked out of place, wanting to make sure Kim was not in danger. The incident with the cheerleader had been a bit paranoia making but had shown Kim that the plan to get her out of the school was a good one. Now, Abby just wanted to keep her primary safe. Thankfully nothing moved out towards them and nothing seemed out of place. It didn't make her feel any happier.
