Chapter 9

And with that, Drakken hit the red button on his ray gun, shooting forth the laser blasts. The sound seemed even more tremendous to Kim than she had remembered, and closed her eyes as she heard the table erupt from the impact.

Anne had been stalking the corridor, knowing that she was close to Kim's location. She was just peeking into another room along the way when she heard a terrible eruption, like a charged up machine gun finally let loose. She ran towards the noise, and could smell something burning very near by.

Oh no! Kim!

5: 37 pm

Drakken stood up from his hiding place in the machine's control center. After dusting debris from his coat, he squinted to see through the dust particles floating above the site of impact. There was the distinct outline of metal shards, spread across the floor, but no site of the redhead. He stepped out of his seat to get a better look.

"Hm. Did this heap of metal even do its job?" he said out loud as he pounded his fist on the machine. He knew that that much power couldn't just go to waste; it must have done something! Even a little bruising would be a good sign for him, considering that he was dealing with the invincible Kim Possible.

"Looks like it did," came a voice out of nowhere. Drakken looked to his left, and saw his sidekick emerging from the dust storm around them. "I think you nailed her pretty hard, Doc. Good job, for once!"

It was then that Shego tossed something to Drakken. He opened his palm to find a very singed lock of red hair. He quickly dropped it into the rest of the debris and wiped his hand on his overcoat.

"Yes! Finally, I have defeated Kim Possible!" Gazing in the direction of where he last saw his former rival, he pointed and shouted, "You think you're all that, but your not! At least not anymore," he added. He the proceeded to put both hands on his waist and chuckle with evil delight. Of course - he was gloating to himself.

The woman rolled her eyes before she broke up the scientist's moment of glee. "Sorry to break up the party, Dr. D, but shouldn't we get going? Japan isn't going to conquer itself, y'know. And I'm sure that the emperor is just as excited for this as you are. Or at least he's going to be."

Drakken stopped gloating and stared at the green woman before the pieces finally clicked together. "Oh, um... right! Japan! Go start up the hover car Shego, world conquest awaits! Hahahaha!"

Drakken skipped out of the room elated, leaving his sidekick in the mist of settling dust.

5:39 pm

Kim coughed as the dust settled around her, letting out a sneeze. That blast was a lot worse than she had originally thought it would be, but Drakken must've pumped up the power when before he tried to blow 'her' up. At least Shego's plan worked. Now she was free to go, as long as her rival didn't have any other ideas for her. But she felt that she could trust her, just this one time.

"Shego? Get me out of here!" she yelled from behind the machine. She got no response, but immediately felt a force pulling her off of the ground. She looked up to see the smirk of the green woman herself.

"I can't believe this. It actually worked!" Kim said. She checked to make sure that all of her limbs were still intact. When dealing with Drakken, you never knew what was going to happen to you.

"You know, Shego, placing that crash test dummy under the sheet was a pretty good idea."

And as the dust finally finished settling, it was very easy to spot the shattered remains of a gray, plastic head; specifically the misplaced nose.

"I can't believe Drakken didn't actually check to see if it was really me underneath! No, wait... I can."

Kim pondered to herself a moment before adding, "You know, I don't really care about you ditching Drakken at the moment to skip the field trip to Japan, but what about when he finds out that I'm-"

"Don't worry. To him, you'll be coming back from the dead, and I get to see his ego crushed like the bug he is. That piece of hair I blasted off you was pretty convincing! And on the plus side, he'll be more afraid of you than ever before, I can guarantee that. We all win!" Shego finished with a delightful smirk.

Kim heeded the woman's words and responded with, "Um... thanks. I think." She ran her hand through her hair until she felt the burnt and still warm section of hair Shego had persuaded her to donate.

"But you do realize that I'm going to have to hurt you for that the next time we combat, right?"

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

A moment of silence passed before Shego spoke again.

"Ok, Princess. If I'm correct, you've gotta be somewhere in about 20 minutes. Though I do think that a wedding is a little too farfetched an idea on such short notice. Are you sure that it's not just..."

"Something else?"

Both Shego and Kim turned their heads to the voice that had echoed from neither of them, but instead came from...

"Mom?"

There was Anne, standing just a few feet away from Kim and her arch rival, next to a Doomz-Day machine. She could barely believe her eyes. She'd spent all this time looking for Kim, and this is where she found her?

She was so afraid when she heard the blast. She'd thought that Kim was, or might've been... She hated to even think about it.

"Kimmie, what are you doing here? I was so worried when I found out you weren't at home, and..." Anne let her sentence trail off as she leaned on the wall, looking positively exhausted.

"Mom!" Kim exclaimed as she rushed over to support her mother. She put Anne's arm around her shoulder, and helped her stand back up.

"Mom, how did you get here? How did you even know where I was?"

Anne smiled, and Kimmie instantly knew...

"Wade?"

"Wade." Anne replied with a smile.

The mother daughter moment, however, was interrupted when the sound of someone lightly coughing came from the only other person in the room.

"So, Mamma Possible. Why don't you tell Miss Runaway here what's really going on? I helped her escape, so I deserve to get the full story as much as she does." Shego folded her arms after that, waiting for a response.

Anne looked to Kim, and could see that she also was curious as to what Ronald could've possibly planned that involved a wedding dress and her special make-up treatment.

"Oh, fine. I'll tell you, but not here. We have to get to Wade's ride back, it's almost 6:00!"

5:45 pm

The three women filed onto the plane before they were lifted off the ground. Anne was capable if supporting herself now, and took Kim's arm from around her shoulder. "Thanks Kimmie," she said with a smile.

Kim smiled in return, but curiosity soon got a hold of her and twisted her face into a frown. She had to know the big secret, now.

"Mom," she started, "What is all of this about?"

Anne looked at her daughter, and sighed. She could even see the green woman scooting closer in her seat to hear the story.

"Well, I really didn't want to tell what Ron's whole suprise was, or still is, hopefully. But I guess it'll set everything right. Ron was planning... um, something interesting for you Kim. And... we've known about it for weeks; me, your father, Wade... and a few of your other friends."

"Mom!" Kim shouted impatiently, "What is Ron planning?"

"Kim, " Anne said, "Ron is having a promise ceremony."

All Kim could do for the moment was sit there as her mind processed what had just been said.

"A promise ceremony? Mom, I..."

"Kimmie, Ron really does love you. He's been planning this for months, now. We have the church all set up, and everyone is on their way there right now..."

Kim couldn't believe any of this. Nothing was making sense. Yet at the same time... it all did.

"A promise ceremony, for me? He did all of this for me?"

Anne's only reply was a wise nod.

"This is amazing!", Kim said, "But why didn't anyone tell me about it? None of this would've even happened if I had known!"

Anne simply stated, "It was supposed to be a surprise. No one would have been able to guess that you would take it all the wrong way. Even with the wedding dress..."

Both Possible's then turned to their left as they heard clapping echoing throughout the plane. It was coming from Shego, of course.

"Oh, this is priceless! I knew that even the buffon wouldn't be able to tie the knot so quickly." She shifted her position in her seat as she laid her back against one arm rest and crossed her legs over the other before continuing. "I guess I'll tag along for the ride, then. I wanna see how this all turns out."

Kim opened her mouth to respond to Shego's comment, but was unable to as the pilot shouted "We're here!" Kim looked out of the window and could see that they hovering over her own rooftop.

Anne grabbed Kim's shoulders and said, "Come on, Kim! This is going to be wonderful! And you've got a lot of getting ready to do." She motioned towards Kim's singed and uneven section of hair.

"A lot of getting ready to do."


I hope that tidbit ties you all over until the next chapter :) Imagine what a ceremony it'll be!
