Monique has a secret; Kim and Ron want to get to the bottom of it. Will they like what they find?
Chapter 1: Vanish
"This is possibly my most brilliant idea yet." Dr. Drakken announced triumphantly. He waited for a long moment before turning to Shego. She sat in her usual chair flipping through her magazine. "Shego!" He whined. Shego glanced up from her magazine.
"What?"
"Don't you want to know what my latest plan is?"
Shego sighed and dropped her magazine on the table next to her. "Does it involve me going to some high security facility and stealing some heavy machine that you aren't going to help me move? Because if that's the case you're footing the bill for my next vacation."
Drakken scowled. "No heavy lifting involved in this plan Shego. But rest assured this plan will surely bring Kim Possible to her knees." He gave a little too much emphasis on the last sentence. Shego raised a brow at this.
"Maybe take it down a notch Dr. D. You're getting a little creepy." She scooped the magazine back up and thumbed through the pages. Drakken growled.
"Nothing like that Shego. I want you to kidnap someone." Drakken said with a wicked smile. Shego looked over the edge of her magazine.
"And who might I be getting for you?"
Drakken slid a photograph across the table to her. Shego rolled her eyes and picked up the photograph, staring back at her were three people. The first was Kim Possible; Shego couldn't help the twinge in her chest at the sight of the girl. To her right was Ron Stoppable, how he managed to land Kim Possible was beyond her. And to Kim's left stood a girl she had only ever met once. And even then she never really got the girl's name; she was in the middle of a fight and all. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders, her brown skin stood out against her shirt. And deep brown eyes stared back at her. Shego remembered that girl well; she was not a very experienced that was obvious. But something about her stuck with Shego even to this day. The way she had looked at Shego in the first moments of that brief fight, it was almost as if they bore straight into her very soul. Shego put the photograph back down on the table as she felt a chill run through her.
"This doesn't clarify much Dr. D." She said sliding the image back. Drakken scowled and snatched the picture back up. He took a pen from his pocket and angrily drew on the photo. He tossed it back on the table. Ron's face was circled several times in thick black lines. Shego glanced at the picture and turned back to her magazine. "I'm not even going down that road Dr. D." She said with a scoff.
"Why not? It's brilliant. If we have Stoppable she will be no match for us." Shego dropped her magazine on the table and stared at the blue skinned man. "Just think about it Shego, every time she foils our plans he is there practically cleaning up behind her. If we have him she will have no choice but to surrender!" Shego burst out with laughter, holding her sides and throwing her head back. She laughed for some time before finally catching her breath and regaining her composer.
"First of all. It's your plans that fail so miserably. I'm simply there to do all the heavy lifting. Not to mention fight your battles for you. So don't try and make me out as a failure as well. And I know this plan isn't going to work."
Drakken scowled deeper at the green skinned woman. "And what makes you so sure this plan will fail?"
Shego sighed, rubbing her temples to fight her oncoming headache. "Because this isn't just anyone you want me to kidnap. This is the buffoon you want. Why don't you ask me to cut off her right hand while I'm at it? There is no way I can get him without her getting in the way. They're always together. And while I'm on the subject, do you remember the last time we messed with Kimmie like this? A power grid comes to mind. I smelled like bunt flesh for two months after that.
So no I will not go on the suicide mission that is kidnapping Kim Possible's best friend turned boyfriend. Screw that!" She hopped to her feet and pushed passed him. "Send the henchmen to do it. I'm not going anywhere." She stormed out of the room leaving Drakken to fume in his anger.

Monique sat in Kim's room looking over her latest sketches for Kim's newest mission outfit. Kim lay on her bed staring blankly out the window. "When is Ron getting here? I still need his measurements for the new mission outfit he wanted." Monique asked setting her sketch pad down.
Kim glanced at the clock and turned her attention back to the window. "I'm sure he's on his way. He's been a little bogged down with tall his college applications lately."
Monique sighed and shoved her sketch pad in her backpack. "Well I've got to get to work. When you see him tell him to stop by the store."
Kim turned her attention to her friend and smiled. "No problem Mon."
Monique smiled back at the red head and shouldered her bag. She walked down the stairs and waved goodbye to Jim and Tim lying on the living room floor. She opened the door and as the bright sunlight washed over her she smoothed out her skirt.
She never took notice of the van waiting down the street.
