Chapter 1- When it all begun.
It was a beautiful sunset at the suburban of the Go City. The wind was delicately blowing from the west and the sun was painting the sky with bloodily red colour. The lonely path through the forest was interrupted in its silence with the conversation of two friends.
"I hope we can be like this forever", said the girl with hair of the chestnut colour. She was well built as a girl at the age of eight.
"Like what?" her friend asked, who was a little bit shorter than brown haired girl. She had the most beautiful blue-green eyes and the brown-ginger hair that perfectly accompanied with the freckles spread across her pale skin.
"You know what I mean…"
"No, I don't Betty. Be more specific", the shorter one replied.
"You know… children. To never grow up. That would be perfect. I don't wanna be like my mum and dad. They have no time for me nor themselves… and they are so stiff", Betty explained.
"Well duh. They are cops. Cops are always stiff, strict and 'bleh' in every way."
"You're probably right. But you know what?" Betty asked.
"Nope."
"I like to be around you and your family."
"Why so? I have the weirdest family possible."
"And that's what I like about it. You are just so natural… all of you Sh…"
"Don't you call me that", 'Sh' interrupted her friend, "I hate it."
"Why so? I think it's cool."
"Yeah. For you everything is cool. Anything my stupid brothers would come up with. Especially 'The Alpha Male' of them all."
"You mean Hector?" Betty asked in confusion.
"Doy! Of course I mean Hec. He's the dumbest of all."
"No, he's not", Betty opposed.
"I know you like him, I will never understand it and I don't even want to", blue eyed girl said with a hint of disgust in her voice. "Speaking of the devil", she have added when she have noticed four figures on the street when Betty and herself have exited the forest path. "Here comes your Romeo", she teased her friend with the sarcastic smirk on her face.
"Oh, shut it!" Betty replied giving her friend a small punch on the shoulder.
As both girls have entered the street on their way home they caught up with shorter girl's brothers, which was an agonizing experience to said girl.
"Pain in the ass", she muttered to herself.
"Stop it", Betty asked her. Her eyes changed into small shining stars when she has noticed Hector coming toward herself and her friend.
"Hey sis!" Hector exclaimed with his usual annoying cheerfulness.
"Hey… moron." his sister replied.
"Don't call me that or..."
"I will tell mum… yeah! Yeah, I know you will, because you always do. No surprise here, you idiot."
"Will you two stop it!" another brother objected.
"Stay out of this Mervin", Betty suggested. "They will kill each other sooner or later."
"Anyway", the greenish eyed girl changed the subject, "why are you ruining my evening with your presence?"
"Mum asked me, as the most responsible one…" Hec begun.
"She asked US, Hector!" Mervin interrupted.
"Well she asked to bring you home earlier tonight." Hector finished.
"Why so?" Betty enquired.
"Because today starts the annual meteor shower and mum has a new telescope. She wants us to have a family evening with stars", yet silent twin brothers have explained in one voice.
"Joy…" sarcasm was dripping of their sister's lips.
"Just shut it and pretend to have fun… for mum." Mervin said clearly annoyed with his sister's behavior.
"You are also invited", Hector told Betty.
"Seriously!" She exclaimed.
"Yes", Hec confirmed.
"Isn't better than the evening with cop parents?" her best friend asked.
"You have no idea", Betty was happy like never before. She could have spend the entire evening and probably night with best friend and her 'oh, so cute' brother. Her parents never minded if she stayed over for night, because she than became less trouble for them in case of any emergency at work.
As all six of them were standing in the middle of the suburban street and talking, the sun has already set down. The stars became clearly visible and they have decided to take a stroll to the park, where, as Hector informed others, they were supposed to meet their mother in the old tree house. It was dark all around, no street lights to be seen. It would ruin their plans. It was just perfect. Since the five's father disappeared five years ago, after twins were born, their mother did everything she could to have a good contact with her children. That was another reason, why Betty preferred their family than her own.
"Look at all those stars", Betty exclaimed as they entered the park. "Your mum knows how to make a great family evening." she was very excited. Her mum never did anything like this. She promised, but all promises were broken, because of the constant emergency at work. Soon Betty stopped believing any of those promises. She just started to come to her friend's more often.
As those thoughts ran through Betty's mind they have already made their way to the tree house and started to climb up.
"Children!" they heard cheerful scream. "I was waiting forever for you to get here", she said with a full smile on her lips.
"That's her fault!" Hector said pointing at his sister.
"Not less than yours", Mervin muttered.
"She was calling me names!" Hec finished happily waiting for the consequences. No one knows why, but he always liked his sister to be punished.
"Why were you calling him names, Princess?" her mum asked her. Her face showed clearly that she can not be angry with her only daughter. Especially that she knew that Hector could be hard to handle. He was just like his father. At least he isn't as strong as he was, she thought, or else it would be a disaster.
"And why do you always have to call me that?" her daughter asked with irritation.
"You'll understand it one day, Princess", she responded enigmatically. "Now come. I have hot coco-moo and the show has already begun."
They all have enjoyed their hot chocolate, cookies and most of all the meteor shower. The five's mother was quite good with electronics at that time, so she connected her new telescope with 50" television, so everybody could see the same thing at the same time. Though not everyone's mood was as good as the others.
"How come you never punish her properly?" Hector asked his mother.
"Haven't it ever occur to you that she might be right?" his mum replied with the feeling of loss. She could not tell him that she despised him, because he looked, smelled and behaved exactly like his father. Wife beating is just a matter of time and he already behaves like he owns this family, she thought.
"But I am the man in this family, so I am always right!" he replied. This eleven year old boy speaks like grown up chauvinistic pig, his mother thought and she was not the only one. Though these were all just children they were way more mature than their age expect them to be.
"Just drop it, Hector." She said." Let's enjoy the evening and we'll talk about it in the morning."
"Hey guys!" Betty shouted, "Look at this one!" she seemed scared. She automatically and unconsciously grabbed her friend's hand. "It's coming right at us!"
"Don't worry sweetie", older female tried to calm her down. "It doesn't. It just seems like that because of the optic enlargement in the telescope." She tried her best.
"Mum, I think she might be right", her daughter said.
"How so?"
"Look!" both girls said very loudly.
"Oh, my!" she could not believe that it was real. She turned off the screen as the giant rainbow colored comet took the entire place on the screen. "Take only the most important things and go home", she ordered with calm voice, but there was no reaction. Everybody was just too shocked. "Now!" she added with a yell and that was what mobilized everyone to move.
Betty was the first one down on the ground. She came out of the shadow of the tree house and that was when she have seen the full might of the rainbow colored comet with flamy tail as it was passing through Earth's atmosphere. She wanted to scream, but she forgot how to speak. Hector, Mervin and the twins quickly joined her.
"Mum!" Hector screamed.
"Coming!" she yelled while she was thinking about her only daughter, who forgot to take her box with photos of them. She just hoped she will make it in time as she has already known that the house will be destroyed with everything inside. Unfortunately when she was almost down she has heard a loud crack.
"Mum!" she heard her girl scream.
"You five! Run!" she ordered the others and she climbed up with the speed of light. Unbelievable, she thought, my father made this tree house when I was eight and now, after twenty eight years it decided to crash.
"I am here, Princess!" she tried to calm her down as she kneeled next to her daughter.
"I stuck!"
"I can see that, captain obvious", she tried not to panic herself, but she was not ready to die yet.
"On three we pull together." she ordered.
"Okay."
"Three!" they tried to pull, but it looked like they would have to cut the leg.
"We're not gonna make it…"
"We will", mother calmed down her daughter, but she had to admit it that her child was right.
"Mum?" she asked in hesitant voice.
"Yes, Princess?"
"Why do you always call me that?" she needed to know.
"Because you are the most important thing in my life and I love you so much." she explained forcing back her tears.
"I love you too, Mummy." it was a first time that she ever said that. She hugged her mother tightly and she felt the rising heat as the comet was closing.
The rest that waited outside were beginning to loose their patience.
"We must run!" Hector panicked.
"What about mum?" Mervin reminded him.
"She can take care of herself", he replied. "It's getting too hot in here." he added and started to run away. The rest followed him shortly. Betty was well trained, by her parents, so she quickly managed to catch up and run as far as possible. Seconds later she had heard an enormous explosion. The shock wave threw her to the trees. She managed to look back at Hector and others, but they were swallowed by the comet's glow. After that she lost her consciousness.
Fifty miles away from the incident, in the peaceful city of Middleton a certain family was preparing to go to sleep.
"Daddy! Daddy!" young ginger girl cried out.
"What's wrong Kimmie-cub?" Doctor James Possible asked calmly, "Weren't you suppose to be in bed?"
"But daddy. I couldn't sleep, because the star fell of from heaven." she explained in childish manner.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"It's true! It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It was like rainbow!"
"Really?" he arched his eyebrow in disbelief.
"Yes! There was red, purple, blue and green. And green was most pretty of all."
"Are you sure you saw that?" he could not believe, because even as a rocket scientist, who used to be an astronaut, he have never seen or heard of anything like it.
"Yes!" she exclaimed and wanted to continue, but her story was interrupted by a phone call.
"Who could call at this hour?" Mr. Possible wondered. "Doctor Possible. Yes? Unbelievable." he said, but young Kim could not understand much of it. "I'll be right there." he said and putted down his phone.
"Where are you going daddy?" Kim asked as she wanted to finish her story.
"It seems that you were right. The comet you have seen have crashed in Go City.", he explained.
"So why do you go? There are no rockets."
"Yes, Kimmie-cub. That's true, but some people could have gotten hurt and my technology can safe them." he said.
"I see…"
"Now go to bed. I will tell you everything in the morning."
When Dr. Possible arrived to the crash scene his colleagues were already there. Bob Chan and Ramesh were sipping coffee not really knowing what they should do.
"What do we have here, gents?" James asked.
"Six bodies. One burned to ash, one unconscious, the rest is… I don't know." Bob said.
"Glowing?" Ramesh proposed a description.
"What do you mean glowing?" James asked.
"Come and take a look yourself, but be careful." Ramesh said.
"Why?" James queried.
"Well… we had some trouble. The little girl that was at the epicenter of the explosion had few outbursts of the weird energy. I am seriously surprised that she managed to survive." Ramesh said.
"Is that why they have called three of us? Because of the abnormal situation?" James asked.
"Yeap.", his friends answered simultaneously.
"So why isn't Drew here?"
"Oh, haven't you heard?" Bob asked.
"You know, he dropped of the college." Ramesh continued.
"Yeah, but he was good enough." James opposed.
"Yes, but he stared some freaky experiments, so he is now chased by police."
"Oh.", James answered.
"And not the regular police, but one of those super cops unit.", Bob finished.
"Weird. Anyway, show me around." James asked and as they all started to close to the scene of crash they have noticed two other people nearing the site.
"I thought that the site is secured?" James asked.
"It was." Bob said. He ran over to the figures, "Excuse me! It's not allowed to be here!" he shouted at the people.
"I don't give a shit what is allowed or not!" she woman spoke angrily. By that time James and Ramesh caught up with Bob.
"I'm sorry; I didn't catch your name." James said trying to calm the woman down.
"I'm Eliza Director. My daughter was supposed to be here. Where is she?" she demanded to know.
"We don't know Ma'am. We just got here. Come with us we'll look for her.", James said as calmly as he could. He perfectly understood the woman. He would behave far worse if there would be a hint of that Kim would be in danger. They have quickly walked toward the body at the edge of small park's forest.
"Betty!" woman screamed and four gents followed her. The woman threw herself forward and kneeled next to the body. "What have happened to you?" she asked absentmindedly. "Call the ambulance! Her face…" the woman swallowed hardly as she have noticed her face covered in blood.
"It's on the way here. Calm down. We'll save your daughter." James promised.
"Stop calming me!" she outbursted, "You have no idea how it's like!"
"I believe, I have. I have a daughter myself." James explained. This situation was dramatic and he could not understand girl's father. He behaved like he did not care. Though the mother was sitting on the ground and hugging her baby, some questions had to be asked. "Ma'am?" James begun as he have noticed his friend still had no idea what to do.
"Yes?"
"Do you know the rest of those, who were here?"
"Yes.", she answered.
"Could you tell us, who they were?" James pushed.
"Yes", she answered and James feared that she might be in to great shock to say anything aside from 'yes', but then she continued. "This was Go family."
"Go family? As in Go City?" James queried looking at his friends in disbelief.
"Same one", she continued. Bob, Ramesh and Betty's father have moved away. They decided to let those two have a talk. "Miss Go, four sons and a daughter, Betty's best and only friend."
"I see." he answered absentmindedly. "I have some bad news and I am sure you have the right to know."
"What is it?"
"Though I still don't know how did you get in here as the whole place is guarded by…"
"Global Justice? I'm their boss, that's why." she interrupted.
"So I can tell you that Miss Go is dead. She was in the epicenter of the crash. We still don't know how did her daughter managed to survive, but we will find out." he said.
"What will be with the children?" she asked.
"After complete analysis of their health we will have no other choice that putting them in the foster care."
"I see."
"The ambulance is here. Go with your daughter. Tell her that she can visit her friend in my lab anytime she wants." James said quickly.
"Thank you…" she looked at him questioningly.
"Doctor James Possible.", he answered unasked question.
The ambulance has taken Eliza and Betty to the Middleton Hospital as it was the best one in the Tricity. Betty's father didn't even bother. He just walked away in unknown direction taking his grim silence with him. James decided to take care of the rest of Go family to the lab and go home to catch up some sleep.
"Bob! Ramesh!" James yelled to his friends. "Did you find out something more about the children?"
"Well, yeah." Bob begun, "Four boys are calmly unconscious. Their glow faded and it seems, like we can transport them safely to the lab."
"Okay. Do it. And what about the girl?" James asked.
"She is very dangerous." Ramesh said.
"What do you mean?"
"She almost killed the coroner, who've came to take her mother ashes."
"No duh!" James said sarcastically. He was fed up with his friends' helplessness. "Mothers and daughters have special connections." he explained and looked at his friends, who were seriously lost. "Must I do everything myself?" he muttered as he approached the girl who was lying on the ground, struggling with energy flowing through her body. "Hello sweetie", he begun.
"Don't you 'sweetie' me you retard! You won't take my mum from me.", she growled.
"I know how you feel. Trust me. My name is James. What is yours?" he tried to have a conversation with girl, but she seemed to be thinking on the correct answer, like she did not know her name.
"It's Shego." she finally answered.
"But it's not your real name."
"The real I died with my mother." she forced back her tears. She is strong, James thought,
"All right. How do you feel?"
"Like all of my bones are broken, like my skin is on fire…" she choked for a moment as the pain became unbearable."Do you want to help me?"
"Yes, Shego. I want to help you." he answered honestly.
"Then run." she whispered.
"What?"
"RUN!" she yelled as loud as she could and he did. James ran as fast as it was possible for him. The green glow was seen all over the place. The heat was indescribable. The stream of energy enlightened the sky. That was close, James thought.
"Bob?" Dr. Possible said to his friend, who came quickly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember that container we invented in college?"
"The one for super high energies?"
That one. Bring it here as fast as you can, now!"
"Okay.", Bob replied and he was already gone. James was looking how the Global Justice started to transport the boys to their laboratories. At the same time he was thinking what to do next. This girl was too special.
"Ramesh?" James asked his other friend.
"Yes?"
"When Bob will return put the girl into the container and transport her to my house." James ordered.
"Sure, but where are you going?" Ramesh queried.
"I have to prepare my house and family", he explained. "I will help this girl."
Author's Notes: It was the first chapter. I seriously didn't know where to do the end of the chapter as when I start to write I just make a book out of it. Anyway, I hope you liked it and as I asked before, please criticize.
