Kim Possible: So the Sandlot
A/N - Alright here I am with a new/old Kim Possible story. I did have this story up along time ago but it got deleated by accident so me and Greendogg have been trying to re-store this story for all of you. This is basically the tale of The Sandlot but Kim Possible style. So you will now what goes on if you have seen the show and movies. I give a WHOLE LOT of CREDIT to GREENDOGG for editing and revising this story. This story is for and deticated to Greendogg the whole story. Without you we could have never even made this re-storing a process. So thank you so much! I do not own Kim Possible or The Sandlot.
Chapter 1 – Moving In
It was the summer of 2002 when I moved to Middleton. And it was the summer that I would never forget and got my friends in the biggest pickle we had ever been in. First of all, my name is Ronald Dean Stoppable. I was new to the area. The first person I had met in the neighborhood was a girl my age named Kimberly Anne Possible. I had heard of her before from news reports and the neighbors. She was pretty famous where I was from, and when we first met I was surprised at how nice she was. Now of course rumors were spread that she only chased after bad people because no one was her friend and she wasn't nice. But that was another story…
After meeting Kim she became my friend instantly and welcomed me into the neighborhood.
As I was helping my dad unpack the moving van, I saw Kim walking back to her house and waved, she smiled and waved back at me. Soon a smile appeared on my face as well and I grabbed the pile of boxes and headed into the house. I made my way upstairs to my bedroom, dropped the boxes and groaned when I saw them fall over. After I picked them back up, I made my way towards the den only to trip once I entered. Standing up I noticed a strange machine, which I tripped over and gave it a puzzled look.
"Hey Dad!" I called.
He stuck his head into the doorway.
"Yes son?" He asked as he came next to me.
"What is this thing?" I asked pointing to the machine.
"Oh, that? it's a new invention I need to watch over." Dad explained with a smile.
"What's it for?" I asked once more as he chuckled.
"Oh Ronald, always full of questions." My father said with a smile, "It works with baseballs." He stated.
"Oh… really?" I trailed off; I wasn't a baseball player myself.
"Yes, it's programmed to pitch them." He explained.
My father picked it up and started to head for his bedroom. I followed with curiosity and thought about what it would be like to play baseball. But I lost my thoughts as soon as I entered my parents' room. Looking around, I only frowned at the furniture and unpacked boxes. All around the room was papers with numbers and more numbers. To me, it made things understandable since my dad was an actuary, but what caught my attention really stood out in the room. The shelf with all the baseball collectables.
Walking over to it, I smiled as I looked at everything on it. About a dozen pictures of baseball player's stood against the back walls in alphabetical order. A line of fine signed baseballs sat in the middle on a golden stand that made them seem like they were in an honored spot. I heard my father chuckle as I examined the shelf and he soon joined me with a smile. I soon broke the silence with a question.
"Dad could you teach me to play?" I asked as he frowned.
"Um… yeah but when I'm finished unpacking, alright?" He finished as he patted my back.
"Okay." I stated with a frown knowing the real reason.
"Why don't you go wake Rufus and go downtown? I'm sure you two are hungry." He added as I nodded. He handed me twenty dollars.
"Cool, I'll check it out." I said with a smile as I thought about food.
"I heard there was a Bueno Nacho!" My dad called as I was already down the hall.
"K thanks dad!" I yelled back as I made my way out.
So I went to the car where Rufus was sleeping and smiled when I saw him. Rufus was another member of the family, sure he wasn't human, but that didn't mean he still seemed like one. As soon as he heard the door open he got up and jumped onto my shoulder. I instantly started to head down the street with him and stopped when I noticed Kim with a group of kids. They were all gathered around a corner of the street on bikes. Next thing I knew, Kim and her group of friends were gone. Out of curiosity, I decided to follow them on foot.
Within minutes I came to an open field. There was a fence, a dug out was on the far side, and white lines were drawn on the mound of dirt. I soon noticed their position and realized they were playing baseball. Kim was standing in the very center of the field and tossed the ball and a small boy with brown spiked hair swung at it with a bat. I watched as the ball went over the junkyard fence. I was so impressed
I decided to stay behind a bush and watch.
The next player to bat was another girl that was Kim's age. She wasn't tall or short, but more in the middle. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail and it waved in the wind. She moved back a bit and swung the bat as hard as she could and instantly hit the baseball. At this time I decided to come out of my hiding place and move onto the field. I watched in amazement as the girl ran around the bases and made it home before anyone could reach her. As soon as she made it home a third player came out to bat. Now this boy looked about to be ten, and what was weird was that he looked like the same kid that already gone up to bat. Rubbing my eyes, I looked back at the dugout and noticed the same boy and looked back at the batter. Then sudden realization hit me, they were twins. The second twin had hit the ball so hard that it came towards me before I could even blink.
"Look out!" Someone had called as I looked up to see it coming towards me.
"Catch it!" Kim voice yelled as I held out my bare hand to try and catch it only to miss.
As it fell to the ground I stumbled backwards and collided with the dirt. Looking around I noticed that the ball had rolled over to the junkyard wall.
However I was distracted as I instantly heard everyone began to laugh at me. Well except for Kim.
The two look a likes were rolling around one the ground with laughter and the brown haired girl was next to them. Deciding to ignore the laughter, I stood back up and walked over to where the ball was sitting. But as soon as I walked by the fence I began to feel my heart beat and hear a loud noise that didn't sound human at all.
With one push of the fence from the other side I grabbed the ball faster than I had ever grabbed anything in my life. Running back up to the field I stopped and noticed that Kim and all her friends were standing on the other side waiting for me to return it. Someone had yelled at me to throw it back and I did. However when I did throw it, the ball barely went two inches away from me. Laughter instantly rose and I noticed a small frown on Kim's face. I bowed my head and my face turned red.
"My life is over!" I exclaimed as I ran out of the area and all the way home.

The next day, I was at home sitting on the front porch of my house with a box of nachos. The only thing was I wasn't eating them, Rufus was. I watched as he continued to eat and thought about what that happened yesterday afternoon. There was nothing sadder than a new kid in town with no friends. I was soon pulled out of my thoughts when my Mom sat next to me and pulled me closer towards her.
"How do you like Middleton?" She asked as I hung my head.
"Okay I guess…" I trailed of as she frowned. She must have sensed something wrong.
"Ronnie what's wrong?" Mom asked as I flinched, I never really did like that name.
"Let's see... I'm new and have no friends within a thousand mile radius!" I exclaimed.
"Well, did you try to make any friends?" My mom asked.
I simply nodded.
"How did it go?" She asked once again.
"Horrible, they all laughed." I stated.
"Well I'm sure they didn't mean it, you're new after all." My mom stated.
At that point, I smiled.
The sun was high in the sky and all the kids in Middleton seemed to be out having fun. Me and my Mom were still sitting on the porch discussing ways I could make some new friends. However, the house phone started to ring and she left to answer it. So I was left alone with Rufus once more on the porch and I looked down at him only to see that he had finished all the nachos. I looked up and smiled when I saw Kim standing in front of me. She had decided to break the silence.
"Hey what's up?" Kim asked as she smiled.
"Nothing, you?" I asked, smiling back as well.
"Well, I was on my way to The Sandlot and thought I'd ask if you wanted to come." Kim explained.
"I would, but I don't have a glove." I explained quickly, "Sorry." I added.
Kim smiled briefly, "That's ok. Here, you can have my old one." Kim said as she handed me her's.
I couldn't help but grin.
"Great, I'll just tell my Mom." I stated.
She nodded.
"Alright!" She exclaimed
"Mom, I'm going out!" I yelled through the screen door.
Before I knew it, me and Kim were heading towards The Sandlot….
The sandlot was the same as I remembered from yesterday. Each position everyone was in the day before was the same. I soon learned that each day they just picked up where they left off. They never chose sides, they never kept score. It was just like one big baseball game that seemed to never end. Each member of the team was sitting in the dugout waiting for Kim to arrive. Once she did, they instantly greeted her, it was almost as if she was the leader of the group. Then, silence fell as soon as Kim walked over to me.
"Guys, this is Ron Stoppable." Kim explained, "He's new in town so I figured we could give him a chance." Kim announced.
Everyone else just looked at her like she was crazy.
"Are they always like this?" I asked. Kim nodded.
"Ron, this is Monique, we call her Mo'." Kim explained. The black haired girl looked at me without a word. "This is Wade." Kim explained once more as he spat onto the ground. "Next are my brothers, Jim and Tim." Kim explained as she pointed to the two look a likes. I flinched as Kim continued. "This is Bonnie, who we sometimes call Bon-Bon just to annoy her." The brown haired girl looked at me angrily. I instantly recognized her from yesterday. "Next is Marcella." Said Kim, pointing to another girl in the group who was biting the end of a toothpick. "Last but not least, is Felix!" Kim finished with a big smile as Felix spat on the ground.
"Good, we're done. Can we just start playing now?" Bonnie asked with annoyance in her voice.
"Yes, Bonnie and what did I say about being mean?" Kim asked as Bonnie grumbled and walked away.
"Sorry, about her she's like that around everyone." Kim explained a few minutes later.
"No problem." I said.
"Okay let's play, Ron can you take left center?" Kim asked .
I nodded.
So I ran to where she had pointed.
"Is this good?" I asked her.
She shook her head.
"I said left center." Kim said as she pointed next to me.
So I ran into the middle of the lot and watched as Kim walked up to the batting area. The positions were… Wade was the catcher, Kim was the hitter, Felix was the pitcher, Jim and Tim were first and second base, Bonnie was third base, Marcella was right center field, and I was center left field. Kim was at home-plate and called to Tim, who was supposed to throw the ball . After she had hit the ball, Tim had caught it and threw it to Felix. I was nervous since I didn't know how to catch at all. Then something happened that made my skin turn pale. I was called next.
"Ron!" Kim yelled as I looked at her, "Throw it to Bonnie!"
I got the message and nodded.
Soon, she tossed the ball into the air and struck it with the bat As it came towards me, I put my glove high in the air only to fall backwards as I missed it. The next thing I knew, everyone started laughing again. I scolded myself for not catching the ball. I walked over to where it was and stopped when I heard a low growl. I looked up and noticed something walking behind the fence and swallowed. My hair stood on end. I quickly grabbed the ball and went back. By now everyone was shouting for me throwing the ball in. Once more I frowned and made a final decision. I ran the ball up to Felix only to have everyone give me weird looks.
"You have got be kidding me!" Wade exclaimed as everyone stared at me.
"Here you go, s-sorry." I stuttered as I handed Felix the ball and ran back to my spot.
However, before I had time to look up, Kim had already beat me to it.
"You could have thrown it." Kim explained.
I shook my head.
"No I can't, I don't know how." I replied with sadness.
"Have you ever thrown a newspaper?" Kim asked.
I shook my head once more.
"Well just imagine throwing it. You pull your arm back and go like this." Kim explained as she moved her arm forward.
"Okay?" Kim asked.
"Yeah." I said.
She patted me on the back.
Kim walked back to home plate and everyone kept complaining on how I wasn't cut out for this. But as soon as Kim grabbed a hold of the bat she turned towards me and smiled.
"Stoppable, throw it to Tim!" Kim exclaimed.
I nodded.
"Not this again, Kim!" Bonnie yelled.
Kim rolled her eyes.
"A square Kim, the kid's a square!" Jim yelled as Kim hit the ball.
I shut my eyes and held up my glove. Before I knew it I was begging to catch the ball. All I wanted was to fit in and I knew that if I caught it, I would make friends instantly. With my eyes shut tight I waited for the ball to come. Soon, I felt something land in my glove and I gripped it. I had caught the ball! I opened my eyes and saw the amazement before me. Everyone else seemed to be impressed because they were all staring at me in awe. Some of them nodded in approval while other's cheered.
"Alright!" Jim and Tim cheered as I tossed the ball back to Tim.
"Let's play some ball!" Bonnie exclaimed as Felix brought the ball back to Kim.
"I knew it the whole time…." Felix stated with a smile as wide as the state of Nevada.

Later that night we had finished the game. Kim was so proud and happy that she decided to set up another game for tomorrow. I was now an official member of the team and I couldn't wait to get home and tell my Mom the good news. After a long day I was starving and asked the team if they wanted to go to Bueno Nacho, which we did. Once we arrived I met the manager Ned who seemed to know Kim and her friends.
We decided to order and sat in a booth in the middle of the restaurant. The booth we sat in seemed to be special. It was apparently the booth where the team sat in every time they were here. From what Kim told me, when they weren't there, no one would sit it in this spot, it seemed to be reserved. However at this time of well… night we were missing a person from the team and that was Wade.
Wade had to go home because he had to help his mom fix her computer since it broke down. Wade was a ten year old genius who had already graduated college, and ran Kim Possible dot- com.
"So how do you like Middleton?" Kim asked me as she took a bit into her salad.
"I love it, more than I did earlier!" I exclaimed as Kim smiled.
"Because you have friends now?" Kim asked.
I Swallowed some chips and nodded.
"Yep!" I said as I mashed some nachos and a taco together and took a bite.
"What are you eating?" Monique asked me as I swallowed.
"Nacho meets taco, I call it the Nacho!" I answered while taking another bite.
"That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen!" Monique exclaimed with a laugh.
"You're apparently forgetting Kim's marshmallow hotdog!" Felix pointed out as everyone started to laugh.
"Felix why I oughta…" Kim started but stopped when her Kimmunicator beeped.
"Saved by the Wade!" Felix sighed.
We all laughed.
"What's the sitch Wade?" Kim asked.
As I laughed and all eyes were on me.
"What?" Kim asked.
I stopped and looked at her.
"Oh nothing." I said.
Kim just looked at me and smiled.
"Bad news, Drakken and Shego are at it again!" Wade exclaimed.
"What are they doing now?" Jim asked, taking a sip of his soda.
"They broke into a top secret lab and stole an attitudinator!" Wade answered.
"Again? Okay, are you able to come?" Kim asked.
Wade shook his head.
"Sorry, my Mom's computer is still having trouble. You need me to find you a replacement?" Wade asked.
Kim shook her head and looked at me.
"Nope, I actually have someone in mind…." Kim said with a smile.
I just stared at her, swallowing my food, feeling nervous.
Yep, it was gonna be a long night…
