Disclaimer: Are you ready boys and girls? Here we go again. As we all know Disney owns the rights to the series Kim Possible. I receive nothing but your reviews for this health threatening toil. (My girlfriend is threatening my health if I don't spend less time with Kim and more time with her.)
Author's Note: It's mid-Summer after graduation and our two teen heroes are vexed by Professor Dementor's lust for the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer. Drakken had his chance to get rid of Kim and Ron with it and got as far as sending them into the world of cable television. Now Dementor has a plan and he'll partially succeed! But first I think we should explore the Mystical Powers in the creative realm of animation and my lubricious imagination.

The Monkey and The Coyote
Chapter 1
A New Pandaroo
Kim Possible slowly shook her head and sighed in mild frustration. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly before she refocused her attention on her longtime friend now fiancé, the source of the agitation she was feeling at the moment. "Come on Sweetie you can do it! Concentrate," she cheered. "You should to be able to channel your Mystical Monkey Power at will if you want to exercise more control over it and use it on our missions!"
Ron Stoppable sat on the grass in the classic Lotus Position, his eyes squeezed tight, as he whined, "I'm tryin KP but it just don't work like that. Right now the only time it shows up is when I'm stressed to the max and really mad." Ron's face grew red from the intense strain of his narrow focused concentration before he collapsed backward onto the ground, panting to catch his breath. With his eyes still closed he joked to Kim, "Besides, you know me and exercise don't get along too good."
"You and exercise!" Kim giggled. She sat down next to him and patted his chest. "That's enough for now Ron, you'll eventually get it. I suppose Master Sensei was right when he told us it would be a while before you fully harness the Power."
"Ain't he always right?" Ron queried playfully as he peered up into Kim's emerald green eyes. "He said I won't be able to fully control the MMP until Monkey Fist gives up his part of the Power."
"Yeah right," Kim clucked in denial, "like that'll ever happen." She laid down with her head on his lap and gazed up at the clouds slowly wafting in the light breeze.
The brown-eyed boy stroked the auburn hair on his lap. "Are we really gonna do it KP? Is it really as easy," Ron snapped his fingers, "as that? I mean just about everything is set, right?"
Kim reached up and laced her fingers with his. "I guess it is that easy Ron. I've been accepted at Berkley and you got a full scholarship complete with housing at the Culinary Academy of Libations and Food that's practically next door. Both of our parents approve of the schools and the apartment and, since they don't want us living in sin, they only ask that we get married before we move in together and start school this fall." She paused for a second to consider the other option given to them by their parents. "Of course if you don't want to marry me I can always get a room in the dorms."
"No no NO," Ron shot back quickly, "there ain't no reason I don't wanna marry you. I want us to get hitched." A worried look crossed his face. "You wanna marry me... don't cha?"
"Yes Ron," Kim said in exasperation. "For the five-hundredth time this week, I want to marry you! I love you! You're the only one I want in my life! I understand you can't believe I'd want to spend the rest of my life with you but..." she let out a giggle and waxed lightly as she gazed at the one carat diamond ring on her finger, "you've grown on me over the years and I can't imagine my life without you." Kim's exasperation returned, "Now give it a rest Please and Thank You!"
"Sorry KP," Ron said apologetically. "It's just that I still can't believe you proposed to me and it probably won't really register til we move in to the apartment and start livin like a couple." An idea brightened his face. "When we move in together you'll get the added bonus of not spending all that money on a dorm room. You can buy a whole new badical wardrobe for school with the big bucks you'll be saving." He added slyly, "Something my friend and partner for life might not be adverse to?"
"Friends and partners for life," Kim cooed and squeezed his hand, "I like that." She flipped over onto her stomach, leaned in and gave him a peck on the lips. An odd thought ran through her mind and she giggled. "With what they're charging for dorm rooms I could keep my husband in Nacos for life. So... I guess all we have to do now is finalize the plans for our wedding in two weeks and pack up for the move."

"It would be that easy if Wade and the bad guys would leave us alone." Kim grumbled as she sat up and dug the old blue Kimmunicator out of Ron's cargo pants pocket. "What's the sitch Wade?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you Kim," Wade Load said from the small screen in the hand held device as he furiously typed on his computer, "but DNAmy has a new Cuddle Buddy and it's rampaging through downtown Los Angeles."
"And our ride?" Kim queried as she and Ron stood and headed for the back door of the Possible residence to dress out for the mission.
Wade didn't look up as he growled and continued typing away at the keyboard in front of him. "We have a problem there. I can't get anything to you for like an hour."
The two teen heroes stopped on the back porch and looked at each other in shock. A slightly wicked smile arose on Kim's face as she asked Ron, "Should we test the Tweeb's new modification?"
"I'm game if you are," Ron said with a shrug and his goofy grin shining. "But don't cha need a license?"
Wade immediately stopped his search for a ride, stared at the two and asked warily, "What are you talking about?"
The wicked little smile on Kim's face blew up into a full out smirk. "Jim and Tim made some more modifications to my car."

"How's it going guys?" Wade asked from the monitor screen set in the middle of the dashboard of Kim's car, the now sporty Sloth. It was her Dad's old Roth SL Coupe that the Tweebs had restored and souped up for Kim so she could have her own transportation and tweak Bonnie's biscuit in the process.
Ron, dressed in his usual mission clothes, was bouncing giddily in the passenger seat. His exuberance was only mildly tamed by the seat belts restraining him. "I don't know about KP but I'm lovin it! Flying Cars Rock!!!" The two teen heroes were jetting amongst the skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles. Kim's younger Brothers had modified the outer front door panels to extend up and out and act as wings while the three rocket engines added for the battle with Motor Ed and Shego were purring along nicely.
Kim, dressed in her battle suit, gripped the steering wheel tightly. (If she wasn't wearing gloves you would've see her white knuckles at the ten and two positions on the wheel.) "It took a little getting use to but I'm flying high now," she said through gritted teeth. "I think I will get my pilots license."
"How do you feel about landing?" Wade asked before he took a quick sip of his ever present soda. "They shut down a portion of the One-Ten Freeway for you to land on. It's runs right through the downtown area."
"We're above it now Wade," Ron chirped as he tried to fold the city map in his lap. He quickly gave up, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed the wad into the glove compartment where it quickly disintegrated in flames. Ron jumped back in his seat and let out a yelp at the sight.
Kim casually looked over and moaned. "The Tweebs idea of trash disposal for long trips I suppose. As if I'm going to drive them anywhere ever again."
Ron, chagrined, only muttered, "Ah, yeah." He looked out his window. "Okay KP, there's an off ramp near Amy's creature. His eye's widened as he stared at the beast and screamed, "IT MUST BE FIFTY FEET TALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE A PANDA AND KANGAROO!!" Ron leaned over to the image of Wade. "IT'S A PANDAROO!! I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS A NEW CUDDLE BUDDY!"
Rufus popped out of Ron's pocket, took one look at the humongous beast and scurried back into his secure abode as he let out with a, "YIKES!"
Wade scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Yeah guys I forgot to tell you. DNAmy calls it her new, Ultra Titanium Edition Pandaroo... and it's kinda big."
"Thanks Wade," Kim intoned, slightly miffed.
Kim circled back and completed a picture perfect four point landing on the freeway and retracted the wings. Two police cruisers were blocking the bottom of the off ramp so Kim came to a halt in front of them. When the two teens got out they saw a familiar face approaching. "Officer Hobble?" they both queried.
"You must be Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable," the man in blue said in recognition as he extended his hand in greeting. "My Brother called and told me to expect you. Thanks for checking in with the Middleton PD before you took off for the skies."
"Wait a minute," Ron said shaking his head to clear the overload that was forming fast, "your Brother? But you look just like..."
"Yes yes, I look exactly like my Brother Carl, we're identical triplets. My name is Captain Charles Hobble." He saw the question forming in the two teenager's eyes and spoke before it could be asked. "Our Brother Chris is the Chief of Police in Nome Alaska."
Kim went into full mission mode. "That's very informative Captain Hobble, what's the sitch?"
The LAPD Captain turned calmly and looked up at the beast that was a mere block away before he started his situation report. "Amy Hall has been apprehended, the downtown is evacuated and there is a forty-two and three quarter foot monstrosity that has the body and legs of a panda and the head and tail of a kangaroo vandalizing the streets." As if on cue the all new Pandaroo finished chewing the tree it had bitten the leafy top off of, reared on it's hind legs and balanced with it's tail. It began browsing on a potted shrub on a balcony thirty feet above the street knocking down the balcony wall in the process.
"I mean," Kim asked tersely, "what's the LAPD doing about the... thing?" She motioned at the... thing.
Captain Hobble folded his arms in front of him and huffed, "We were ordered to clear the area and wait for the experts, you, to handle the situation."
"I'm sorry Captain," Kim begged in apology. "It's just that I still occasionally sleep with a Pandaroo. Whenever I see one of DNAmy's abominations, it irks me."
"I understand." Captain Hobble smiled warmly. "I'm going to have a heck of a time this evening trying to explain all this to my daughter. She has a Snat, half snake half cat, that she won't go to bed without."
"A Snat!" Kim laughed. "I battled a real live Snat when we first went up against DNAmy. You see, it was guarding her lair on Mount Middleton and..."
Ron cut in and pointed at the half breed. "Don't you think we should take care of the Snat before it tears the city apart?"
"It's a Pandaroo Ron, but you're right. We'll talk later Captain." Kim turned to face the immense menacing melange. "Come on Ron."
The two teen champions circled behind the huge Cuddle Buddy and stopped. "Sweetie, you distract it while I grapple up to it's head and give it a mild electric shock to knock it out." Kim swiftly shot her grappling hook up to a high balcony and zipped off.
"Distract it?" Ron wondered aloud, totally perplexed. He ran to the front of the beast and started to wave and yell. "HEY YOU! YES I MEAN YOU, BIG BAD AND... CUDDLY! COME ON DOWN HERE AND TALK TO ME!!!"
The beast reared back and loudly roared blowing nearby windows out of their frames. Ron immediately plastered himself against the building and threw his arms over his head to avoid the falling glass. The creature leaned down until it's head was almost on the ground and snorted at the blond boy.
"Whew!" Ron exclaimed fanning his hand in front of his face. "You need a breath mint... or five... cases."
The behemoth peered curiously at Ron. Kim took the momentary lapse of movement to drop onto the beast's neck burying her hands in it's fur. Electricity jolted the large cumbersome creature and it reared up again, howling and tossing Kim two blocks down the thoroughfare.
"KP!" Ron yelled and took two steps to where his girlfriend landed in a tuck and roll before the giant panda/kangaroo reached out and wrapped a furry paw around him. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa!" Ron bellowed.
Kim broke into an all out sprint when she saw the beast pick up her fiancé and bring the tow-headed boy up to eye level forty feet in the air.
"Hey, hey HEY!" Ron yelled at the big kangaroo head as he wriggled to get free from the hold he was in. "What would your Mommy say about your behavior!? You should be ashamed of yourself the way you're acting!"
"MMMMM?" The behemoth moaned something sounding like a question.
"Yes I mean you!" Ron continued as he struggled to free himself. "Just look at the mess you're making. And why!?! Cause you're hungry?!?"
"MM, MM-MMMMMMMM," the beast sounded like it apologized.
Ron finally yanked an arm free from the body hold he was in and leaned on a crooked elbow. "Is that the problem? You're hungry?"
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" The kangaroo head smiled and nodded.
"Ron!" Kim anxiously hollered up as she arrived below, "are you alright!?!"
"I'm okay KP!" Ron yelled in assurance. "We need to find a park or somewhere where this fella can get a bite to eat!"
Captain Hobble, munching on a donut, meandered up beside Kim. "If you need a big open area with plenty of trees around I can direct you to Griffith Park."
"You mean the place with the observatory?" Kim queried.
"Yes," The LAPD Captain said, donut crumbs flying, "but it also has a Zoo and wooded area. Follow me." Captain Hobble got in a squad car and drove off slowly, lights flashing but no siren. The beast set Ron on it's neck and, at the urging of the blond boy, followed. Kim got in her Roth and trailed behind the gigantic Cuddle Buddy at a safe distance to avoid it's swishing tail, her emergency flashers on. By the time the two vehicles and one monstrosity had traveled three blocks it looked like a parade. More than three dozen police, ambulance and fire department vehicles had fallen in line with their emergency lights ablaze.
When they reached the park the beast broke ranks and headed for an edge of the big clearing. It lazily munched on the trees and brush at the perimeter of the open field. After a minute it laid down in the glade and continued to chew it's forage. Ron took the opportunity to shimmy down a furry leg and pat the beast proudly. He turned to Kim and Captain Hobble as they approached. "I don't think you'll have no more trouble with the big guy now." Ron reached out and scratched behind its twitching ear.
The Captain turned to Kim and shook her hand. "Thank You Kim Possible. I don't know what we would have done without you."
Kim grabbed Ron's hand and spun him around to her side. "You should really be Thanking Ron. He's the one who calmed the thing down and talked to it. He has a way with animals... and big insects." She shuddered in revulsion as the thought of Ron and Roachie hip hop dancing in the Stoppable's living room passed before her mind's eye.
A uniformed LAPD Officer came up to the three and handed a note to the Captain. He read it and smiled. "It seems the Cuddle Buddy has a new home. The Mayor has decided it will be added to the Zoo's collection."
Ron looked at the beast who had dozed off in the field. "I don't see nothin wrong with that as long as he has plenty of room to roam and somethin to eat."
Kim giggled with an idea. "Maybe you can contact the Cuddle Buddy people and ask them to sponsor a booth. You know, they pay for his feed and in return are allowed to sell Cuddle Buddies."
"That's an excellent idea," Captain Hobble enthused, "I'll pass it along. Will you two need any assistance getting back to Middleton?"
Kim thought for a second before she shook her head. "No, I don't think so. We'll probably take our time and drive home. As much fun as I had flying here it is a little nerve wracking."
The Captain frowned. "I think it might be better to fly out of L.A. at this time. Rush hour traffic is starting and with the shutdown of the freeway earlier, it will be heck trying to navigate right now. It will take you two hours or more just to get out of the city."
"Does traffic really gets that bad in Los Angeles?" Kim asked in disbelief. "I really don't want to experience that. Maybe we should fly out of here." She looked over and saw Ron scratching and petting the beast's nose. "Come on Ron, it's time to go!"
"Aw Man!" Ron whined, "just when I was gettin to know my new Big Buddy!"
"Hey!" Rufus complained as he poked his head out of his pocket abode and scampered up to Ron's shoulder.
"Sorry Rufus, no offense," Ron apologized to his naked mole rat. "You'll always be my Little Buddy."
"We can come back and visit the Pandaroo soon," Kim assured her partner. "In the meantime we need to get home. There's still a lot of planning to do before the wedding." She turned back to Captain Hobble. "Is there a road in the area where we can taxi and take off from?"
"Stacy!" the Captain yelled and waved over the Officer who had delivered the note earlier. "Officer Martinez will escort you to the Glendale Freeway. As you're going up into the foothills there should be enough open room to take off. I'll call the Ontario and Burbank Airports and tell them the plan. They can clear a flight path for you when you're ready."
"Thank You Captain," Ron said as he shook hands with the Officer. "Is there any message we can pass on to your Brother?"
"Yes," Captain Hobble laughed. "Tell Carl I'll see him at the Hobble Family Reunion this fall and he still owes me fifty bucks from the last Super Bowl game!"
