Kim Possible in "A Mouse By any Other Name" By Kims #1 fan
I would like to dedicate this, my first fanfic to mr. dr. p, who inspired me to try this. Also, I truly need to thank my beta reader, lonestar for all his help. And now, if any one is an artist, can you please draw a picture of Kim and her newest, friend Gadget Hackwrench. I do not own Kim And Co. or the Rescue Rangers.
Chapter 1 A Most unusual day
The lair of a mad genius is, usually a busy place. However, even mad geniuses need to sleep. One such individual tossed and turned in his bed. Dr. Drakken had suffered nightmares, mainly involving Kim Possible. Occasionally, the nightmare would be a dream come true and a good plan would form.
His eyes snap open. "Eureka." A seemingly never-ending, Grinch-like smile forms on his scarred face.

It wasn't the Ritz, but, to Shego, this was home. A nice room all to herself. The woman sleeps snugly in her bed, the hints of a contented smile on her face, like the cat that ate the canary.
A loud pop knocks the smile off her face almost as quickly as it had appeared. There are two important things about Shego: never interrupt her beauty sleep...
X
...and never make her angry. Surprisingly, the not-so-good docter has yet to learn these things.
"What do you think your doing?" Shego's hands are flared, ready to fire.
Drakken stands at his worktable, tinkering with what looks like an ordinary pen. He looks up from his project. "Oh, did I wake you, Shego?"
She tosses a ball of plasma at him. That's a definite yes. " The next one won't miss."
He goes back to his tinkering, unaffected by the warning shot. "Well, I'm just working on a new weapon to defeat Kim Possible. It came to me in a dream."
Shego can't help but roll her eyes. " I'm going back to bed." The woman turns toward the hallway.
" Why, of course I'll tell you how it works." Drakken blocks her path and holds up the device. "Behold!"
"It's a penlight. They're, what, 8.99 at your average supplies store?"
" Yes , but can they do this?" He points the pen at her and clicks the top. Before she could run, a red light envelops her. She grabs herself to keep from falling. Her robe and the nightie underneath fall to the floor. Oddly enough, there is no occupant.
Drakken smiles as he looks down at the garment. From out of the sleeve crawls a mouse with pale fur and a black stripe on its head. Even more unusually, the mouse is scowling at him. He clicks the top at the rodent.
The red light re-appears, and the mouse grows, its features becoming distinctly human. Shego twitches her nose and looks down at herself. Clutching her robe, she puts it on and charges at Drakken.
She grabs him by his nightshirt. "Try that again, and you and I play a little game called 'pest control'!"
"Isn't it wonderful, Shego? It works!" Clearly, the whole 'take over the world' thing has finally blown one of Drakken's fusses. He usually cowers under his assistant's threatening tone.
"This is your plan: turn Kimmie into a mouse?"
"Every scientific experiment needs a guinea pig."
"Then why not turn her into a guinea pig?"
"When you come up with a great plan like this, you get to run it how you like." For a comment like that, Shego would usually put Drakken through a wall with a plasma blast, but it's four in the morning. It can wait untill daylight.
"Whatever. I'm going back to bed." She grabs her nightie from the floor and starts off down the hall.
He looks at his device, then up at the skylight. " Sleep well , Kim Possible. It's the last peaceful sleep you will ever know."
"I can hear you!"
"Oh, right." He zips his lips and gleefully sets the penlight down on his worktable. This promises to be an exciting day.

Hundreds of students pass through the doors of Middleton High every (week) day.
"Is your disguise ready?"
Today Shego would be one of them.
"Just about ." She appliesruby red lipstick to her lips. She checks it in the reflective surface of Drakken's hovercraft.
"Now you know what to do right?"
"Yeah. Wait untill Princess is alone and boom! Templeton City." She crouches ready to jump.
" Oh and Shego? Every student needs a pen." Drakken hands her the penlight.
She snatches it from him. "Don't wait up." With a well executed leap, she lands just outside the school. With her baby-tee, hip-hugger jeans and blonde wig, she'll have no problem fitting in.

Shego had never much liked high school. And her rancor for Kim Possible is well- known. Yet, here she is... in a high school... looking for Kim Possible. Why? The simple truth of it was that she was jealous. She had never liked that the girl outdid her in looks, grades and family. And even though her best-friend-turned-boyfriend was something of a buffoon, as Drakken had so often noted, Ron would do anything for her. Shego fumed at not having someone like that in her life.
She stalks down the halls, her envious mood making her madder then ever.
Just then, she bumps into Mr. Barkin. "Whoa."
"Hey, I've never seen you before, Miss..."
"Shay . Shay Geaux ."
"Hm. 'Geaux' . That's French . I'll be keeping an eye on you , Missy."
'Shay' rolls her eyes as Barkin heads past her. Was every authority figure she encountered a half-wit, or was it just her?

The cafeteria is abuzz with activity, as usual. Ron sits down at a table , accompanied by Kim and Monique across from him .
"Ladies , how long have you known me?" He eyes the supposed food on the tray before him.
"About a year."
"Since Pre-K."
" Have you ever known me to be brave enough to eat this slop?" He gestures to the lunch before him.
The two girls shake their heads."No."
"Foolish enough?"
"Not really."
"Then we are left with one option." Ron reaches into his pocket and pulls out Rufus. The girls look on as the naked mole rat stretches. They look toward each other with sly grins.
"Five bucks says he wont touch it."
"You've got it Mon." Kim reaches into her pocket and digs around a little.
Rufus gives the tray a sniff and scrunches it's little face. That food isn't going anywhere.
"Pay up, Kim."
"It's not over yet." She pulls out a packet of cheese sauce and smothers it on the "food" on Ron's tray. "Rufus , how about some cheese?" The meal never had a chance. Rufus devours the slop au gratin.
Monique hands a five-dollar bill to the redhead. "That was dirty pool."
"Behold the power of cheese." Kim motions to Ron's tray.
Rufus gives a sigh and lies in the tray compartment where the food once resided, as happy as can be.

"So, what's your next class , Mon?"
The african-american girl grabs a book from her locker. "World history. How about you?" She closes it.
"English lit. The compleate works of James Joyce. Such a thrill . "
"I'm stuck with algebra," Ron sulks. "It's not like we'll ever need that in real life."
"How about Bueno Nacho after school, my treat?"
The blonde boy brightens. "You rock KP." He gives her a kiss on the cheek. It was worth choking down word problems if it meant savoring Bueno Nacho later. He heads down the hall.
"Later , Kim." Monique heads into a classroom. Kim stops at a water fountain and drinks from it.
Shay appears from around the corner and pulls out the penlight, aiming it at Kim's back.
"Adios, Kimmie." The familiar red light bursts from the pen and shrouds Kim. She grabs her stomach, almost like the worst pain imaginable is occurring there.
The girl disappears leaving only a white shirt and a pair of pants. Shay picks up the clothes and finds nothing. She takes an article of clothing in each hand and shakes them for all they're worth. Nothing. She grunts and tosses the items on the floor.
"Stupid plan." The new girl stalks off.
From out of the pant leg crawls a mouse. The rodent sports all the basics: paws , a long tail , white fur , and a snout. Strangely it also has a tuft of red hair on it's head and wide green eyes.
It puts it's forepaw to it's head. "Whoa. What hit me?" It clears it's throat. Surely , its voice wasn't that high when she got up this morning. She looks at her arms and her whole body. She rushes to her pants pocket and drags out her compact. Hitting the clasp full on , she opens it , revealing her mirror. Her mouth hangs open as she gazes at herself.
"Oh...my...gosh! I'm a mouse!" Kim gives her tail a tug. "Ouch! And this was shaping up to be a pretty neat dream."
She looks down at herself and gasps . " I'm nude!" Granted , fur was covering all the important parts, but still...
"I have to find some clothes , quick!"
A shadow casts over her . It's Bonnie . Clutching a green scarf in her hand , the brunette pushes the door of the ladie's room open .
Mouse-Kim smiles a bit. "Well , I am a mouse." She scampers in before the door closes , which certainly would've taken some work in her current state .

Bonnie finishes applying lipstick to her lips. A faint squeaking gets her attention. " Must be the door..." As she glances toward the exit, she spots a mouse waving its arms.
" Hey Bon-Bon check me out! " Kim shouts at the top of her lungs , but to her rivals human ears , it was nothing more then high pitched squeaking .
"Euw ! A mouse !" Bonnie throws the door open , drops her scarf and runs out screaming.
"No running in the halls Rockwaller !"
Kim sees the door about to close . She rushes toward it . She stops and remembers the scarf . She grabs onto it and hurries out . The garment gets caught in the door . The rodent tugs mightily.
"Come on !" The scarf rips , leaving Kim with a piece of it .
X
Kim rubs her head . "Man . And I thought a Club Banana sale was tough ." She looks toward her other paw . In it is a big green piece of material . "Spankin'! " She rips a piece of the scarf off and wraps it around her neck . She ties the remainder around her waist .
She gives a bit of a pose . " Much better . Now to find some help ."
X
Shego walks out of the school . "So how did it go ?" Drakken glances at his assistant from the hovercraft , now on the ground .
"Small problem . The brat dissappeared . "
The scientist grits his teeth . A wicked smile replaces the look of anger . "Shego , you still have the penlight ?"
"Yeah . A lot of good it did ." She hands it to Drakken . He takes it and turns the cap a little .
As she climbs into the vehicle , Drakken points it at her . She lets out a yell . Her baby tee , hip-hugger jeans and blonde wig hit the ground .
Hanging on the side of the vehicle is a black cat . The animal climbs in and seems to glare at Drakken with its green eyes .
"Dont give me that look Shego . you brought this on yourself ." The former youg woman responds with a hiss , which she means to sound like 'You are going to be torn into so many ribbons'.
Drakken grabs her . " Now go back in there and I dont want to see your adorable face untill you've found Kim Possible . Got that?"
Kitty-Shego extends its claws to her employer and scratches him across the face . He tosses her out , meowing angrily.
The man rubs the spot where he was scratched . He winces ; it's a little too sensitve . "Note to self : stock up on catnip. "
