Honey, I've been shrunk.
This story is based on a plot bunny given to me by MaceEcam. If you happen to find any similarities with 'honey, I shrunk the kids', these are purely coincidental and fully intended.

Chapter 1: Shrinkage
"The moment is finally here Shego," Drakken said happily, "I have finished rebuilding my shrink ray."
"Are you sure its not another blow up?" Shego smirked.
"Very funny Shego," Drakken growled, "this time I will not try to shrink myself, the ray is strong enough to shrink entire cities. I will hold the world literary in my hands."
Shego sighed at sight of her boss ranting and laughing, "What's the use of shrinking whole towns? You won't be able to do something with them."
"And we won't let you do it either." A familiar voice said.
Shego let out another sigh, "here we go again…"
"Kim Possible?" Drakken shouted when he saw Kim and Ron standing in the entrance of his new lair, "how did you find us, we didn't do anything that could have alarmed your nerdy friend."
"Just good luck," Ron grinned widely, "we happened to walk by when we heard your laugh and we though we'd look it up."
"See Dr. D?" Shego scolded, "I told you we shouldn't rent a time-share lair in Middleton."
"But it was cheap," Drakken whined, "why don't you take out Kim Possible and we can all forget this has happened."
"Fine by me," Shego smirked, "ready princess?"
Kim grinned and took a defensive position, "always."
As Kim and Shego started fighting, Ron walked to the shrink ray and tried to figure out a way to stop it.
Drakken jumped in front of him, "stay away from the controls, you and your weasel thing." Looking around, he added, "Where is that creature anyway?"
"Right there," Ron pointed behind Drakken, "biting through some cables."
As Drakken spun around looked behind him, Ron hooked the blue villain's leg and tackled him, "just kidding, Rufus is out with a cold."
"Shego!" Drakken whined as he saw Ron getting himself ready to push away at all the buttons.
"Don't even think of trying, sidekick," Shego said as she jumped between Ron and the control unit, hands ablaze.
"He's my partner, not a sidekick." Kim kicked Shego out of the way but in the following struggle, she lost the Kimmunicator.
"KP, you lost this," Ron said as he picked up the devise. Seeing that he was not heard, Ron placed the Kimmunicator on top of the workbench and started pushing buttons.
Drakken jumped up and ran to the console to undo whatever Ron had done; soon the two were busy pushing each other away and ramming all the buttons and pulling all the switches.
"You've been practicing?" Shego asked as she was barely able to dodge another attack from Kim.
"I'm just reaching my peak while you might be getting a little too old for this." Kim grinned as she saw her comment hit pay dirt.
"You take that back," Shego growled as she shot a plasma ball at Kim, "I'm not that much older than you are."
Kim easily dodged the plasma, "and yet it gets you so frustrated… " She was cut off by the sound of groaning metal.
Shego's plasma ball had hit the shrink ray and the top was now angled downwards.
That was the moment Ron hit the 'Shoot' button.
The shrink ray started to whine and sparks flew off and a purple beam shot out to the floor.
"No!" Drakken shouted as he frantically tried to stop the machine.
"I wonder what it is going to grow huge now," Ron said, remembering their last encounter with a shrink ray, "too bad I don't have my camera with me."
But the purple beam turned into a large circular field, surrounding the shrink ray and enveloping all persons. The field flashed bright purple and then died, the shrink ray coughed once more, smoke coming from all sides, then the top fell off and everything went silent again.

Kim was the first to regain consciousness; she stood up and looked around.
"What happened?" Kim looked aside and saw that Ron was getting up also.
"Looks like Dr. D's shrink ray blew up," Shego said as she sat up as well.
"It was the buffoon's doing," Drakken was still lying on the ground, but seemed further all right.
"Where are the remains?" Kim asked as she looked around her. The outburst of the shrink ray had overloaded the electrical system and the lair was shady to say the best.
The others started looking around as well; there was nothing in the near vicinity.
"Is it me, or does the lair look larger in this light?" Ron asked.
At that moment, a backup generator started working and the lights switched on one by one. What they revealed shocked all four persons to their bones.
The lair was not huge, it was gigantic. Or, to put it in better perspective, the villains and hero's were tiny.
"This is bad," was all Ron could say.
"Oh snap," was the only thing Drakken could add.
Kim and Shego were speechless.
In the distance, they could see the remains of the shrink ray. Even further was the entrance to the lair, seeming almost a mile away.
"Okay..." Kim said as she regained most of her senses, "we're shrunk down."
"Well doy," Shego remarked, "what are we going to do about it?"
"Maybe we can reverse the process," Drakken suggested.
"Have you seen the shrink ray?" Ron asked.
"I think my dad and the tweebs can fix it," Kim said.
"Yeah, call your computer guy and let him pick us up."
Kim searched her pockets but did not find the Kimmunicator.
"Oh no," Ron said, "you dropped the Kimmunicator and I put it on the workbench."
Everyone looked at the workbench that seemed to still have its original size. On top of it they could see the Kimmunicator balancing awkwardly on the edge.
"Okay… I think we have a problem."
"Maybe I can get there if I use the grappling gun," Kim suggested as she pulled out the hairdryer-looking devise.
"How long is the cable in that thing?" Drakken asked, "We're shrunk down to about an inch, so the workbench has a relative height of about 200 feet."
"The cable is only a hundred feet long," Kim told, "but if I can reach the knob of the first drawer, I can reload from there and reach the top on my second shot."
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
"Maybe this was not such a good idea," Kim mumbled as she let the grappling gun pull her up. It was going to be hard balancing on the far edge of the handle of the drawer and shooting the cable almost straight up to reach the top of the workbench, not to mention she was almost out of charges for the grappling gun.
Kim reached the handle and took a little breather while she reloaded the grappling gun. Looking down to see how far up she already was she could see the rest of the group far below her and Kim had to smile at the irony that she was actually only one or two feet of the ground.
Ron looked very concerned at Kim's progress, "don't fall KP, don't fall," he quietly whispered.
Shego looked at him surprised, "I thought she could do anything, and now you're afraid she's going to fall?"
"No, it's not like that," Ron tried to explain, "I know KP can do anything, but at the same time every time she does something like that I'm afraid something is going to happen to her. You wouldn't know about that," he turned away from Shego.
Before Shego could reply, Drakken interrupted, "even if she falls, it's not likely she gets hurt. With our current size and weight, we can fall from practically any height no problem."
"You sure about that?" Shego asked suspiciously.
"Well…" Drakken hesitated, "pretty sure."
"KP made it!" Ron pointed at the small figure that was now walking on top of the workbench towards the Kimmunicator.
Kim climbed on top of the Kimmunicator and immediately saw she had a problem; not only was the Kimmunicator precariously balanced on the edge of the workbench, the call button was on the far side of the devise, hanging over the edge.
Carefully Kim walked over the Kimmunicator, hoping her weight wouldn't topple the devise.
Fortunately, the Kimmunicator did not topple over. But when Kim stood on top of the call button, she found that she was not able to press it; she was to light.
"It's not working," Kim shouted to the group below, "I can't press the call button."
"Try jumping on it," Drakken suggested.
"I'm afraid that will topple the Kimmunicator," Kim told.
"Try it anyway," Shego called, "if we can't push the button, the thing is useless to us anyway. Just be ready to jump off if necessary."
Kim hopped up and down on the button several times, to no avail. Then she started jumping higher.
The Kimmunicator started to wobble on the workbench and then it fell off.
As the devise started to fall, Kim used the last charge in her grappling gun to get away. She managed to shoot the hook into the wood of the workbench top, but the motor of the grappling gun was out of energy and not able to lift Kim up again.
Kim hung suspended halfway between the top of the workbench and the ground and she was rapidly loosing her grip on the grappling gun handle.
Ron, Shego and Drakken had been standing at a distance from the falling Kimmunicator and were now looking in shock as Kim struggled to keep a grip.
As he looked frantically around for something to cushion his girlfriend's fall, Ron saw he was too late; Kim had lost her grip and was falling down.
