Chapter Three: Man vs. Wild
As we last left our teenage heroine's sidekick, Ron Stoppable and his naked mole rat Rufus, they were running for their lives in the Costa Rican jungles from an army of monkeys. There was much fist shaking, hair pulling, eye poking, and running as the battle between Man and Monkey raged on. After a few agonizing minutes, Ron Stoppable was able to flee the monkeys grinning with success…
"A boo-yah!" Ron said raising the one banana he was able to flee with. "I told ya Rufus, No stinkin' permeate can defeat Ron -." Hearing the monkey's howls not far from his trail, Ron flinched with Rufus rushing himself inside Ron's pocket.
"Eh… I think we should go find Kim" Ron said looking down at his pocket. Rufus peeked his way out of Ron's pocket nodding in agreed.
"Uh huh creepy," Rufus agreed.
Ron made his way to last placed he remembered Kim, still maintaining his grin from the fight holding the banana with pride.
"Hey KP guess wha…"Ron stuttered his last word with his jaw dropped right opened.
"Oh finally!" Kim exclaimed with excitement when she turned her head to see Ron. "I'm starving!"
The time it took Ron to retrieve one banana, Kim was able to make a fire, use the vines of the trees to make a hammock with their sleeping bags, and covering the sleeping bag hammocks with tree leaves on top of them in case it rained.
"Whacha bring!" Kim asked when she reached him.
Finally coming back to reality, and Rufus lifting Ron's jaw shut, Ron nervously smiled as he hide the banana behind his back.
Seeing the nervousness in Ron's face, Kim instantly frowns and places her hand on her hip.
"You didn't get food, did you Ron?" Kim asked disappointedly.
"No I did Kim! But there where these monkeys you see and…"
Kim shook her head as placed her hand on Ron's shoulder. She smiled at him as she continued. "It's fine that you weren't able find food Ron, you don't need to lie."
"But I'm not. It was…" Ron started to say when Kim interrupted him.
"C'mon" Kim said escorting Ron to the other unexplored side of the jungle. "We'll go together. I'm sure will find something to eat."
Ron didn't protest but pouted as Kim walked with him away from the campsite into the other side of the jungle.
Middleton, USA: Possible Residence
The tweebs were glued to the T.V. letting the images and sounds of the explosion, which have been leaked to the press, and were being aired on every T.V broadcasting station in the world, fill the living room as they adults continued to discuss amongst themselves. Seeing the imagines being played again and again, wasn't making the concerns and worries of the adults any less real.
"Do you think they are okay Ann?" Maggie Stoppable asked her red-headed friend as they watched the latest news update.
Ann smiled placing her hand on Maggie's shoulder. "I'm sure the kids are alright. This is Kim and Ron we're talking about. I'm sure they are making camp and finding some food until they get rescued."
Maggie touched Ann's hand, smiling as she had no choice but to be optimistic and believe what Ann was saying was a possibility.
Loud knocks could be heard from the main door, the tweebs got up from where they were and walked towards the door to open it.
"Be careful boys, those knocks just might be from those good for nothing people of the press" James said as he sipped his coffee.
"Honestly, don't they have anything better to do" Don Stoppable hissed himself sipping his coffee.
"Guys" the tweebs said in unison gaining the adults attention. They looked to see the tweebs standing next to Wade. They quickly got up from their seats not once taking their gaze of the boy genius who sent their children on the mission that most likely…
"Wade, any update?" Ann asked.
Wade simply shook his head. "None Mrs. Dr. Possible, Global Justice has been around the scene dozen of time and no sign of either Kim or Ron."
Wade could see the hurt those words brought to everyone. He saw everyone's heartbroken expressions and wished he came to them with some good news. "They've been scavenging around the area the plane landed and found this..."
Wade was hesitant before he reached into his pocket and placed the burned Kimmunicator onto the coffee table. Ann's heart sank seeing the device; she reached for boys and grabbed hold of her husband's arm. Maggie Stoppable did the same, not fighting back the tears anymore.
"They're ending the search. Dr. Director has just given the order for her agents to come home….she sends her condolences. I'm- I'm sorry."
No one spoke nor uttered a sound they all simply stared at the broken Kimmunicator…
Costa Rican Jungle:
Munching on the fruits they have obtained, Kim and Ron laid themselves on their sleeping bag hammocks looking at the night sky.
"You know if we weren't stranded here, I've would have enjoyed looking at the night sky much more than I am now" Ron said folding his arms over his head.
"Yeah it does look nice" Kim replied. It was a nice night. The stars were glowing so brilliantly and the sounds of the animals nearby were surprisingly soothing to hear.
"Try to get some rest, okay Ron? We need to wake up early if we're going to try to find the river to follow to town" Kim looked at Ron who nodded with a thumbs up before turning his bed to sleep. Kim did the same and watched the night sky before she blissfully fell asleep.
A few minutes later…
"KP?" Ron asked. He turned is head to see Kim nudging herself to his direction.
"Yeah Ron?" Kim said yawning.
"I'm sorry I've lost the Kimmunicator."
Kim looked at Ron's upset composer. She sighed. She couldn't really stay at Ron. He was Ron after all. "No big Ron. Now sleep, we've got a big day tomorrow."
"Okay" Ron said positioning himself to sleep again. "I'm sorry."
"I know" Kim replied.
An hour later ….
"Kim?"
"Ron, night time, sleep" Kim said covering her mouth from the yawn.
"I know but there is something that's bothering me. Why did you make our sleeping bags like this?"
"Really?" Kim asked ticked. "You asked that now? (Sigh) I saw on the Knowing Channel a documentary about Costa Rican venomous snakes. They're mostly pit snakes so they won't be on the trees or try to climb them, that's why!" Kim answered annoyed. "Now go to sleep Ron!"
Ron buried himself inside his sleeping bag. He tried his best to get some sleep but simply couldn't. Every time he would close his eyes he would hear strange noises that would wake it up.
"Kim?"
"What now Ron?!" Kim asked looking at Ron dead in the eye. "What part of 'go to sleep' don't you get?!"Ron knew Kim was angry as her eyes narrowed themselves at him.
"Sorry but I can't sleep thinking about the snakes out there."
Kim sighed.
"Ron" She said trying to ease Ron's mind. "You have nothing to worry about. The likelihood of us being bitten by snakes out here is highly unlikely okay? We'll be fine and be super careful."
"Promise?" Ron said
"I promise" Kim said smiling at him but Kim's smiling face soon changed into an enrage sleep deprived teen.
"Now. Go. To. Sleep!"
Ron laid back into his sleeping bag hammock finally being able to rest.
'KP's right' Ron thought 'I'm sure we won't even see a snake…'
The next day, as they followed the river to whatever civilized city ….
"Ahhhhh!" Kim yelled from the agonizing pain. Ron was right by Kim's side helping her up but the pain continued.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
