The Island Story, Chapter 1
The time: summer vacation from Middleton high, shortly after STD
The sitch: Lets just say it didn't take long for Draken and Shego to break out of custody, again. When last spotted, they were testing amphibious and submersible vehicle prototypes in a remote corner of Polynesia. Once Wade got a lock on their location, it didn't take long to find a ride for team Possible. Much to Ron's dismay, it was the same seniors cruise where he had been so soundly and repeatedly defeated in shuffleboard on an earlier mission.
"Thanks for the lift, Captain" Kim chirped pleasantly as team Possible was lowered in their boat from the ship.
"It was the least I could do for you and your friend. Every senior citizen on the cruise has managed to win against that young man in shuffleboard. And it never even looked like he was trying to throw the games."
"But I wasn't, mphh" Kim slapped her hand over Ron's mouth before he could complete the protest.
"No big. It never hurts to show a little courtesy to the senior set. Right Ron?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, right."
One of the lifeboats had been outfitted with a high-power outboard motor. The course of the cruise would take them just close enough to see Draken's Island as the sun was rising.
"Bon Voyage" the Captain said as the outboard started.
"Did he say something about bon-bons?"
"Head in the game, Ron."

Less than 24 hours ago, Shego and Draken arrived in Polynesia testing a new amphibious assault vehicle the blue skinned mad man had designed. In what was now a too familiar turn of events, Kim Possible and her goofy sidekick showed up just before they got the last of the bugs worked out. Then while the two women were trading blows and catty remarks, the gangly teen distracted the Doctor while his naked mole rat started chewing through wires in the control panel until it blew up. Draken and Shego then ran to waiting hover cars to make their escape. Only this time, something went wrong.
Draken just about got away cleanly. Shego didn't. Her hover car stalled immediately. She was just five seconds behind Draken getting the vehicle started. But it was enough. The two teens, and that rat, were on board the hover car before she got it off the ground.
The ensuing battle was made up of scenes that could have been drawn from WWII dogfights, Hong Kong kung-fu cinema, and Scheherazade style flying carpets. As Kim and Shego wrestled in the hover car, Ron wrestled with the controls, trying to override the automatic pilot. Exactly how that heat-seeking missile was launched we may never know, but it nearly hit Draken's craft. Draken, of course, doubled back to find out what was happening.
Boom!!

Sarah and Olivia Best were working on their tans in the back yard when something unusual caught their eye.
Wade Load, the reclusive genius that lived next door wandered out into his back yard.
After Team Impossible spiked Wade's system, Wade made his first extended trip outside his house in years that other than to some secure research labs or the computer store (where he was treated like a god).
That trip was made to help his best friends ever, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. They were in trouble and NOTHING would stop him from going to their aid.
Since then, he did manage to make it out of his room a few more times. And almost every trip was Team Possible related.
Today, the genius just wandered out from the cellar door and drifted to the center of the yard. He didn't even take a glance at the Best sisters in their bikinis as they tanned.
Sarah and Olivia got up and watched Wade as he deemed to drift without direction or purpose. Finally he just collapsed on the grass and began shaking uncontrollably.
Olivia was the first to reach Wade. The girl was just a little younger, and had an even higher IQ than Team Possible's guru. She had Wade firmly in her sights as the target for her first adolescent crush and was busily attempting to construct some sort of device that would make him fall for her.
But today, Wade was not looking for love. In fact Wade had only one question and shouted it to the skies as the younger of the Best girls placed her hand on his shoulder.
"WHY!?"
"Wade?"
"O - O – Oliv – via? S – S – Sarah?"
"Wade? What happened?"
"T – They're, they're GONE!"
"Gone? Who's gone?"
"Kim and Ron. They're dead. DEAD! And I couldn't do one damn thing from here to save them!"
"Kim and Ron? What happened?"
"Well, Sarah, it was like this."
But at that point, a hole opened up in the yard and a tall, athletic woman wearing a form fitting uniform and an eye patch stepped out of a cloud of water vapor and walked over the distraught hacker.
"Dr. Load!"
"Yes Dr. Director?"
"I know you were monitoring GJ's communications with Team Possible. I'm also aware that you know of our inability to reestablish contact and what that implies. I want to compare notes and verify our conclusions."
"Of course, Dr. Director."
"And then, if you're up to it, I'd like you to go with me to inform the Stoppables and Possibles."
"Thank you, Doctor. I think I should be there to break the news. I certainly couldn't be there to save them."
"Dr. Load, we'll have time for our grief later. Right now, we still have work to do."
"Yes ma'am."

Co-authors Notes
Hi folks, P. R. T. here. I strongly believe that a good story needs a good beginning and a good ending and a great story needs a good beginning, a good ending, and very little in between.
Well, I had a story with a good beginning and a good ending sitting on my hard drive for quite a while. However, the very little I had "in between" was not enough to hold the reader's interest. I've tried to write more, but kept coming up short.
I already have one story out there, in here, with no sign of reaching resolution. I didn't want to inflict another unfinished epic on the website.
Kwebs, a relatively new member of the Kimmunity, has graciously offered to assist me break through this writer's block. He has yet to publish any stories under his own pen name, but his lively contributions to the forums have convinced me that he is more than up to the challenge. Anything in the story that looks pretty good is mine. Anything in the story that seems fresh, original, and amazing is his. Anything that seems dull, boring, misspelled, plagiarized, or inadequate is clearly the result of a computer problem with FF dot Net.
Now let me offer a note on the story itself. This takes place in the summer after "So The Drama". I had thought about adapting it to a point after "Graduation". But it just wouldn't work if Ron was in full control, or if Shego and Draken were aware of his Monkey Powers.
And just who are the sunbathing sisters? Sarah Best is the name cpneb gave to "The Girl In Blue". He also made her Wade's next door neighbor. Olivia was the girl Wade fell for at the end of "Cupid Effect". I noticed a slight resemblance between the two girls and decided to cast them as sisters.
Any other questions, comments, complaints, criticisms, or complements? Kwebs and I will be happy to take them.
Call us. Beep us. If you want to . . . .
Thanks for joining us on this adventure.

P.R.T. is being way to kind, he just needed a little help that's all. I thought it was too great an idea to go left unfinished. So here we are, hope you all enjoy!
Later
