Chapter 9

Possible

"Man, this is gonna be just like old times, huh Mulan?" the red Chinese dragon said to his best pal in the seat of the R.G.S. Paopu Winds, Kairi's own personal ship that she used as a luxury ship whenever Sora wasn't onboard for an off-world visit. This was one of the first times that she had ever had somebody else onboard though. And to be very truthful, Mushu was more than enough to keep the place lively and colorful. Kairi smiled to herself as she took the helm of the ship and began to pilot it away from Radiant Garden. In all of their years as king and queen, Sora had at last taught her how to fly a Gummi Ship efficiently. It took a lot of coaxing (just as it had when she had to convince Sora to teach her how to fight) and at last Sora caved in, as he usually did to his wife. Granted, she wasn't nearly on the skill level that Sora was, or even Riku after all his time in the Order but she could still hold her own in an Unbirth ship battle.

"I guess so, Mushu…" Mulan said with a slightly worried look on her face. Kairi laughed at that; from what she heard, Mushu could be a real handful. "But calm down…I've never been to another world other than Radiant Garden and I have no idea what to expect."

"Man, that's a rain on my parade?! What could be more excitin' than visiting a new world and now your telling me to behave like a pet?!" Mushu asked indignantly. "I am a guardian dragon, Miss Bravest Warrior in China! I will not lie down and take orders like a-"

"Mushu, you do know there's some chicken dumplings in the kitchen?" Kairi asked, deciding to intervene before things got out of hand. Mushu suddenly froze and perked up.

"Chicken dumplings?" Mushu said, his dragon nose twitching ever so slightly. "Aw, man, here I come!" With that, Mushu went racing off of Mulan's shoulders and through the door. When Kairi peered out of the door as it closed she could see Mushu pelting down the hallway yelling happily. Kairi and Mulan laughed as Kairi quickly input the coordinates for the world and set them on warpspeed.

"So, what's this world like?" Mulan asked of Kairi. Kairi turned to her with a smile. For the most part they were friends, Mulan often asked advice from Kairi and due to her monthly visits to Radiant Garden for the Parliament meeting, the two women had come to know each other fairly well. That was probably the main reason that Kairi chose Mulan to come with her on this mission of collecting an army: she was the only woman that Kairi knew could fight well (and most of the guys were already teamed up anyway) and she was good friends with her. At Mulan's request, Kairi punched a few things in the Gummi Ship computer console. Tron had recently made some adjustments to the system and so it was now able to provide much more detailed information than it could before.

"Middleton…" Kairi breathed out. She knew that the world had been contacted to be part of the Parliament but at the time they had declined. Still, something else sat in the back of her mind. There was a memory there that wanted to come out but couldn't seem to give itself form. Well, if she couldn't remember it, it couldn't be that important. So she instead focused her energy to reading the description that Tron had uploaded into the star charts. "A friendly town in Colorado, home to teen hero Kim Possible and the worldwide organization Global Justice who spend their time defeating villains."

"Sound promising for warriors…" Mulan said with a nod of her head and Kairi couldn't help but agree more.

"I'd like to meet this Kim Possible. She's a teenager…and yet she helps to save the world. That might help us a bit in the long run here." Kairi said, stroking her own chin slightly. Mulan looked at her with confusion for a moment.

"Do you know where we might be able to find her?" Mulan asked and Kairi shook her head in slight defeat.

"I have absolutely no idea. I've never been to Middleton before so I couldn't tell you anything about the place. But…" Kairi's mind was racing and her brain was quickly forming an idea in her head. "Well, there's one place we would be able to go in order to find her, and every other teenager in the worlds practically: high school."

"High school?" Mulan asked with now utter confusion as to what was going on. "What is that?"

"Oh, right, I forgot that you don't have such a thing as high school on your world. Well, let's se…uh…" However, Kairi's mind was slightly frozen in trying to determine how best to explain the concept of high school to the warrior from the Land of Dragons. Then she struck a solid thought. "Think of it like this, high school is kind of like how men train to become soldiers and women train to become ladies on your world. The only difference is they have required classes and boys and girls learn just about the same things and we learn stuff like math and science. High school is the advanced level of all that stuff."

"Oh…I understand…I think…" Mulan said, but her face betrayed her true feelings and indicated to Kairi that this woman couldn't grasp the concept of high school unless she saw it for herself.

"Don't worry about it…" Kairi said with a wave of her hand. She quickly checked the dashboard to make sure they were well on their way to Middleton. It would still take a few hours and they would need to be well rested. "But Mulan, let's not try to hide our identity while we're there. From what I know, the last time both of us tried it we failed miserably. Heh, not to mention we have…"

"Man, those chicken dumplin's were right on , whoever your chef is that stocks this thing…I gotta get him on my payroll!" came the energetic of the spicy and fiery red dragon that was now entering the room after his very quick snack break.

"Mushu…" Kairi and Mulan sighed out. True, for combat, Mushu was the best to have around but in any other case he was a burden and a pain in the butt. That's why Kairi was glad she was able to think one step ahead of what was coming up and was instead working on what they would do to blend into a school culture this time.

"Anyway…before Mushu rudely interrupted us." Kairi said with rolling of her eyes. Mushu got all steamed up and prepared to lash out at the queen of Radiant Garden but Kairi summoned her Keyblade and with a flick of it, managed to encase the dragon in a block of ice. "Let's leave him there till we're done. Maybe he'll listen to us after that. Anyway, I was thinking we're way too old to be students so we might as well just say were from other worlds and we're building an army and I'll try to get a job as a substitute teacher."

"Okay, what do I do?" Mulan asked of Kairi and Kairi smiled at her. She leaned back a bit in her chair and settled in.

"I need you to get the army together, I mean, depending on what we have to do of course. For example, the star chart readout says this Kim Possible faces villains, if she's currently involved in something then I'll help her out with that. That might take time so I'll need you for the army."

"That works well. After all, we are trying to collect some villains as well aren't we?" Mulan asked and Kairi nodded but both felt the air in the room tighten as though neither of them were particularly happy or keen on this alliance in the first place. But nothing more needed to be said so Kairi sat up again and came out of her chair.

"Well, if that's all, I'm going to get some sleep!" Kairi said cheerily and she turned toward the door, summoning her Keyblade again in order to thaw out Mushu. But Mulan quickly called her back before she had the chance to do anything. Kairi turned to her with an expectant look, wondering what she was calling her for.

"I, uh, I had been meaning to ask you and Sora but since Sora's not here right now and this is the first time we've really had to…" Mulan tapered off but Kairi knew what she wanted to talk to her about.

"It's about children?" Kairi asked with a grin on her face and Mulan nodded. "Look, I went through the same thing with Sora…but Mulan, if you want one go for it. They are…well, they can be serious pains but for the most they're joys. Watching my son crush on a girl is one of the cutest things ever and Demora, well, she's mostly a handful. Ironically, Sora gives attention to her and I think she learns a little too much from him." Ulan nodded, however she still seemed slightly burdened by her question.

"I guess you're right…" Mulan said heavily. Kairi strode up to her and placed her hands on Mulan's shoulders.

"I know I'm right. They're wonderful things so…talk to Shang when we get back to Radiant Garden, I'm sure Leon dispatched contacts to there." Kairi said and she withdrew from Mulan. Without another word she thawed Mushu and strode from the cockpit to her own quarters in the massive ship. For a few minutes she stared up at the ceiling thinking about the past two days. She rolled over and just wished that Sora were beside her as he had been for the past twelve years. But that was a luxury denied to her right now and she would deal. In a few moments she had drifted off to peaceful sleep.

When Kairi awoke, she found both herself and Mulan to be absolutely refreshed and the Gummi Ship hovering in orbit around Middleton. She looked to Mulan and Mushu who nodded (Mushu punctuating his remarks with a yell of triumph) and they both entered the beaming area and beamed down onto the planet below. The first place they landed outside of was, ironically, a building that had a great large billboard next to it stating Middleton High. Kairi chuckled to herself and motioned the other two towards the doors of the institution.

"So this is a high school?" Mulan asked in impressed awe. Kairi laughed when she saw that and took her eyes off of where she was going to speak to Mulan.

"Yeah, well, if you were here for four years learning subjects, taking part in extra-curricular activities, and watching two boys called Sora and Riku make utter fools of themselves for the better part of four years you wouldn't be so impressed." Kairi said with a playful glint in her eyes.

"Yeah, this place feels like mausoleum." Mushu said, tossing his arms into the air. Kairi inclined her head a bit, but it didn't last very long for soon she ran straight into an imposing figure that was standing in the middle of the hallway. Kairi backed up and looked at him. The man's name was Steve Barkin, principal of Middleton High (and the guy who managed to substitute practically every class there). He was dressed in a horrid brown jacket over his plain white and collared shirt and his black tie and pants did nothing to make his fashion statement any better.

"Excuse me, miss, but are you lost?" Barkin snapped at them and Kairi arched an eyebrow at the man, showing absolutely no fear of him. "I am Principal Barkin and nothing, I mean, nothing," He got up close to Kairi's face as he said this and she stood back a bit. "Passes through this school without my knowledge."

"Okay, one, I am a Mrs., not a miss, married!" Kairi held up the finger containing her wedding band. Her eyes glinted as it did in the fluorescent lights of the school. "Two, did you ever hear of a breath mint? And finally, I am Queen Kairi of the world of Radiant Garden who has come here to form an army for an impending war. Principal Barkin, let me put this clearly for you, I need a job to find some warriors and you're gonna give it to me." However, despite Kairi's stern attitude that she adopted later in the statement, Barkin was already cowering. Kairi glared at him and he shied away.

"Y-you're an alien?!!" Barkin yelled in absolute fright and Kairi smacked her head to her forehead. She walked up to Barkin, who was now on the ground in sheer terror, and picked him up, brushing off his jacket.

"I'm not an alien. I'm an off-worlder. I'm human, just like you." Kairi said. "So, about that job?"

"Uh, yes, well, as you are a supposed foreign dignitary I could give you a job during your stay here…but, uh, class is out. You can start tomorrow. Meet me in my office, right down the hallway." Barkin said before he quickly began to hightail it out of there screaming shrilly at the top of his lungs. Kairi rolled her eyes and smiled at Mulan.

"That works I guess. Let's get going." Kairi told her friend and Mulan giggled slightly. So Kairi set off to explore the school that Barkin would have offered her had he not supposed her to be an alien. She had barely made it very far when a great red and white blur simply blazed past her and knocked her over.

"Oh, dude, I'm sorry!" cried a slightly nasally voice. The voice was coming closer though and Kairi looked up to see a young seventeen year old boy with blonde hair, freckles, and clothes that looked much too big for him standing in front of her, offering her a hand. "Whoa, you look too old to be a student…not that that's a bad thing! Heh!"

"I'm the new substitute teacher, Kairi." Kairi said, taking the boys hand and allowing him to pull her up. When Kairi was steadied, they shook each other's hands. "That's my friend Mulan and her guardian dragon Mushu. We're from another world."

"Nice!" the blonde boy said with swagger and approval. "And, y'know, not many teachers introduce themselves to us by their first names."

"Well, I'm different. Anyway, we're here trying to build an army and-what the heck is that?!" Kairi screeched as a small pink mole rat seemed to poke its head outside of the teenage boy's pocket. It wasn't that Kairi thought it was gross, it was more the fact of that she was surprised that it made an inhabitable living inside this boy's pocket! Mushu had the opposite end of enthusiasm.

"Dude, is that a mole rat?! I haven't seen one of those things since the head ancestor made me hunt them all down." Mushu said with a snicker and the mole rat squealed loudly, uttering a small "Oh no" before darting back into the boy's pocket. "Relax, little mole rat, I didn't do it."

"That's true…" Mulan grimaced with disgust etched onto her face. "Instead he gave them a room in our house!" Mushu just waved his hand as if swiping aside the subject. The blonde boy however, was not fazed by this conversation in the slightest.

"Oh, come on Rufus, the dragon is not gonna eat you." He said and the small naked mole rat popped back out and glared at Mushu. Mushu hopped down from Mulan's shoulder and jumped onto Ron.

"I'm the guardian dragon Mushu, what do you say to that?!" Mushu said, offering his clawed hand. Rufus considered it for a moment and then shook it and the two creatures suddenly became fast friends.

"Boo-yah!" the blonde boy said and Kairi giggled, shaking her head a bit. "By the way, I'm Ron, Ron Stoppable. You might have heard of me? I frequently team up and help teen hero Kim Possible save the world on a near day-to-day basis."

"Well, I've heard of you now. And come at it, I'm glad to have met you Ron. Our star charts mention Kim Possible and we thought she might be helpful if she'd join us for our battle." Kairi said with a genuine smile. Ron smiled, if anything, wider and brighter than Kairi did.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure she'll help. She always has to prove herself, you know." Ron said with a great big grin. "Well, at least she'll help out after we finish stuff here. I should be able to convince her though, I mean we're tight."

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kairi asked with a playful smile and immediately, Ron went on the defensive, waving his hands in front of his face. Because of that, Kairi instantly knew that though there was nothing going on, Ron wanted there to be something.

"No, no, we've been best friends since for ever but not…not that." Ron finished kind of lamely after his massive explosion. "Well, anyway, I was heading to meet Kim right now at Cheer Practice so follow me!" Ron said and he began to lead the two older women through the hallways. Kairi was actually getting excited upon hearing the words "Cheer practice". She herself had been a cheerleader for most of her high school year (particularly her last three years) and as such was put up on that lofty status. But it wasn't the status that was the reason for her to enjoy cheerleading; it was everything else. Mulan, however, was just as confused as ever.

"Cheer practice, what's that?" Mulan asked and Kairi sighed, turning to Ron.

"Ron, do you know anyone who would be able to explain all of the facets of high school to Mulan?" Kairi asked and Ron seemed to be thinking about it for a moment, pushing aside the fact that he was totally perplexed. "Mulan doesn't have high school on her world."

"Oh, sign me up!" Ron said with relief. "I cannot stand high school what with all the jocks and labeling and oh, don't get me started!"

"Sure, we'll send you to my world. Instead of high school, you can defend my country from invasion on a daily basis." Mulan said with a smile and Ron instantly shut up about not wanting to go to high school.

"On second thought, I think I'll pass." Ron said and he went back to thinking about how to answer Kairi's question. "You could meet with Monique, we're meeting with her at Bueno Nacho." Kairi nodded and the three fast friends proceeded on in silence until they began to approach a large pair of great big brown doors that led into the gymnasium…but Kairi could hear angry voices issuing forth from the gym.

"Face it, all the remotely acceptable guys are taken!" yelled a very mean and scalding girl's voice.

"Is there some deadline I don't know about?" asked a different voice, a bit warmer than the first but Kairi would suppose that in this situation it would be mean.

"The Prom?!" came the other voice quickly, clearly pointing out and obvious fact.

"Oh, it's just another dance." Said the other person, not accepting this realm of her fate.

"Talk about the dance. Who you go with is, like, crucial! You're looking at captain of the chess squad-" Suddenly, Ron sped up a bit more, as though he didn't hear the prior conversation, and burst through the door.

"Hey KP, do we have a date with Bueno Nacho or what?!" Ron yelled as he sped into the gym and Kairi was only just able to hear the ending line of the conversation between a very mean looking, brown-haired girl and a nicer looking, but very angry at the moment, red haired girl with luminous green eyes.

"Or worse." Kairi glared at the girl. She didn't like this girl at all. But as Kairi noticed the girl, she noticed them. "Oh my God, who brought the loser brigade?" In a flash, Kairi summoned her Keyblade.

"Don't you dare call me a loser?!" Kairi said. "It's Queen Kairi of Radiant Garden and don't you forget it!" Mushu leapt up as well to defend Mulan in Mulan's own stead.

"Yeah, and no one calls the bravest warrior of China a loser. And I'm a guardian dragon, so don't you go disrespecting me!" Mushu yelled out angrily and the girl with brown hair shrieked suddenly.

"There is a lizard in the gym!!!" she screamed and many other girls except for the one with red hair began squealing and Mushu narrowed his eyes at the group of girls.

"I am a dragon! Not lizard. I don't do that tongue thing!" And Kairi laughed and dismissed her Keyblade as Mushu suddenly slithered his tongue out and brought it back in. Rufus the mole rat began laughing uncontrollably as many of the girls went running off in fright of the skinny red dragon. The redhead was the only one remaining.

"They're easily scared." she said with a smile and she extended her hand out to Kairi. "Are you a new teacher. I'm Kim Possible." Kairi took her hand and shook it while smiling.

"I'm Kairi, queen of Radiant Garden-" Kairi began but before she could say anything more, Ron instantly got in the ballgame to tell Kim Possible all about Kairi and Mulan's intent in their visit here.

"Yeah, which is another world. And that is totally super cool! Yeah, but KP they're here to build a big army for a war…whatever that means, so could we do it?! Please KP, please!!! It's not often you get to see another world." Kairi felt yet another smile tugging on the corners of her mouth. Ron reminded her quite a bit of Sora in the way that he was always ready to do stuff and was never embarrassed for his goofy actions.

"Sure…I guess, I could even contact Global Justice for you. They have plenty of agents trained for this stuff. But, I'll need to do it in about a week. Prom is coming up and I totally can't miss it." Kim said with a glint in her green eyes and Kairi nodded in complete understanding. But Ron was, once again, not at a loss for words.

"And we're trying to hunt down Drakken which has become surprisingly not easy." Ron pointed out and Kim nodded a bit, agreeing with her best friend. "So do you guys like need a place to stay or what?"

"We might." came the short and simple answer from Mulan rather than Kairi and the group left it at that while Kim headed to the dressing room in order to change out of her purple, red, and yellow cheerleading outfit. The other trio got to know each other a bit better and actually decided that Mulan would be immersed in the high school culture with this Monique girl while Kairi would meet with Kim's parent and tweebs (twin dweebs) and stay at her house. When Kim finally emerged, she readily accepted this. On that note, the four of them (excluding Mushu and Rufus who were with their respective owners) left Middleton High and headed towards Bueno Nacho, whose appearance caused Kairi to laugh.

Bueno Nacho was a great round restaurant serving items such as the Naco (combination nacho and taco), the chimerito, some salads among other things that were widely Mexican-based. On top of this restaurant was a great big sombrero that covered the majority of the building. Standing outside the building was a girl with long black hair wearing a red outfit and had ebony-colored skin. This was Monique, the one Kairi had been hearing about. All of them instantly got acquainted and Monique agreed to help Mulan staring tonight after the stay at Bueno Nacho; after all, not only could she learn about this world…but with those contacts she could also help build the army. before long, Ron had dashed off to order, Mushu screaming hungrily for food right after him and the four girls gathered around a booth.

"So, you said you're a queen, Kairi?" Kim asked of the other red-haired beauty at the table. Kairi nodded and decided it was best to answer and explain.

"Yeah, my husband is the king of Radiant Garden, the world we come from. We're pretty much the leader of all the worlds and have formed a Parliament of Worlds. However, we answer to one kingdom alone and that is the kingdom of Disney Castle which is ruled by His Majesty King Mickey." Kairi said and the two Middleton resident nodded their heads in approval. "Right now, we're in the middle of a war so we're traveling and picking up warriors."

"Girl, sounds like you got it good and rough. So what's it like living in a castle?" Monique asked, clearly excited and Kairi chuckled at this.

"Big. Thankfully, my husband had our friend Genie install secret passages that let us get places more efficiently." Kairi said but then she decided she wanted to get to know more about the people here. "So, Kim, who was that girl you were arguing with in the gym?"

"Oh, Bonnie…" Kim fumed off and Monique looked at her expectantly, as if asking for information. And Kim decided to divulge. "She was going on about the food chain and how cheerleaders have to date top stars of the football or basketball team." Then, in an extremely low whisper she added, "And how Ron is worse than a member of the chess squad."

"Girl, that is flawed." Monique said with a wave of her hands. Kim shied back a little bit.

"I know, but what if Bonnie has, in her own stupid way, a point." Monique looked absolutely taken aback by Kim's sudden proclamation. "I'm weirding guys out Monique. They see me on TV roundhousing some goon out a window…it's a vivid image."

"Kim, you are a strong, independent woman. Any brother afraid of that is not worthy of your time." Monique stated simply and Kairi nodded, deciding to put in her own opinion.

"My husband loves me for me, and that includes the fact that I can sometimes kick his butt in battle…although that is few and far in between. So, if they don't accept you for you, they're not worth it." Kairi said with a smile.

"I know…" Kim said, acceding to their comments. "But is there anything worse than going to the prom with your 'just a friend'?" Kim added with a glance toward Ron and even Monique looked in that direction.

"And his naked mole rat?" Monique said with a smirk and Kim nodded before scowling.

"I mean, a date 'date' would be nice…a stinkin BF." Kim said in a very complaining tone.

"You're lettin' Bonnie play you." Monique pointed out and Kim got all on the defensive."

"Am not."

"What good is saving the world if you don't have someone to share it with?!" Monique said in a simpering tone and Kim at last deflated.

"Okay, a little. Just once, I'd like to make Bonnie eat her words!" Kim said defiantly and Monique tilted her head a bit as Ron started approaching the table.

"They are low carb." Monique said with a bit of a chuckle behind the comment and Ron had at last reached the table.

"KP, life as we know it has changed forever. Naco night is no more." Suddenly both Ron and Rufus started to cry, even Mushu joined in even though he had only been here for odds on about an hour. "Oh, and I need three more bucks." Kairi rolled her eyes when suddenly she heard a beeping coming from Kim's side of the booth. Kim reached into her bag and pulled out a small blue, rectangular device. As Kairi chanced a look at it, she saw there was a viewing screen which soon showed a chocolate colored boy with black curly hair on the screen.

"What's up Wade?" Kim quickly asked and the boy, Wade, had a slight smile on his face.

"Drakken's been spotted: Bermuda Triangle." Wade said and he immediately disconnected.

"I guess you two gotta go, don't you?" Monique said and Kim smile apologetically before she got out of the booth. Kairi and Mulan stood up with her at the same time.

"Mind if we tag along? We have some moves to be reckoned with." Kairi said with a sincere smile and Kim heartily agreed. Monique told Kim to help Mulan to her house when they got back and the four of them set off for the Bermuda Triangle, which happened to be a rather fancy restaurant. However, this restaurant was run by Big Daddy Brotherson, a low scale criminal and so, it was clearly the perfect place for Drakken to plan whatever evil he was planning. As the group of four headed to a boat owned by Mr. Bailey that would allow them to infiltrate the restaurant, Kim told them about Drakken: a villain with blue skin who often tried to take over the world…and failed just as often. He was often accompanied by Shego, a green woman with glowing green hands.

When they had met up with Mr. Bailey, Kim and Ron put on Scuba gear but Kairi refused to do so. Kim tried to argue with her, saying that it was the only way to reach their destination but Kairi proved her wrong by using the permanent pixie dust that Tinkerbell had given her at her and Sora's wedding. Kim accepted this face and she, Ron, and Rufus set off. Kim easily flew Mulan and Mushu over to the beach where they were to meet Kim and Ron and waited for about twenty minutes when they at last surfaced.

"Think they're trying to keep us out?" Ron asked, a little too loudly for an infiltration. Kim quickly shushed him and changed, Ron covering his eyes as she donned a purple dress and put on a black colored wig.

"Okay, so you're sure Drakken is here?" Kairi asked, making sure of her facts and Kim nodded. "All right, well, since you two are undercover and since nobody here knows us…me and Mulan will go in through the front door." Kairi waved to a completely nonplussed Kim and Mulan giggled.

"We'll meet you there." Mulan said and they quickly made their way to the front of the restaurant. It didn't take too long and soon they were inside. Once again, Kairi's foreign royalty status granted her entrance to the restaurant with little effort and soon they were in and looking around. It was a pretty nice place too, with a shiny black piano and a shimmering chandelier. Kairi was rather impressed by the place, and that was after living in a castle for twelve years. She only had a few minutes to look before Kim emerged behind them and joined up. She took out her Kimmunicator (the blue device that Kairi had seen earlier) and activated it, bringing up a picture of Wade. Kim quickly (and this was very quickly) introduced all of them to each other before they got down to business.

"Any sign of Drakken?" Kim asked and Wade responded in the negative. But Kim already had the next question planned. "Shego?"

"Behind you!" Wade yelled and suddenly, Kairi saw a great green flame alight behind her and she leapt backwards, summoning her Keyblade in a flash. Kim's wig was now destroyed and she was attempting to evade Shego who was dressed in a black and green dress and had long black hair. Kairi looked to Mulan and they nodded, running forward. Kairi sent a shard of ice at Shego and it grazed off of her skin. She was momentarily distracted as she turned to look at Kairi. That was when Kim made her move and kicked her in the gut. Shego flew backward and Kairi leapt in the air in an attempt to bring her Keyblade down. But Shego placed her hands on the ground and flipped backwards before rushing forward, her plasma filled hands, quickly coming into contact with Kairi's Keyblade.

"Oh, and who are you? Her Majesty?" Shego asked with a snicker and Kairi pushed her Keyblade forward.

"Actually, I am." Kairi grimaced and she swept her feet at Shego, knocking her over. But Shego swiped upward in an uppercut. Kairi blocked it with the Keyblade as Shego took more swipes at her. Kairi blocked or evaded all of them expertly. Finally she saw an opening and took it. She whipped around with quick speed and hit Shego with the blunt side of the Keyblade and forcing her upward and onto the chandelier. But Mulan had already thought ahead, and when Shego landed there the first thing she saw was Mushu.

"Wha…who are you?" Shego asked with utter confusion.

"I'm a guardian dragon!" Mushu cried and soon a pepper of fireballs emerged from his mouth, beating on the cord that held the chandelier to the ceiling. Soon it snapped and Mushu hopped down below. Kairi raised her fist to the air in victory but then she noticed something that was a little off.

"Where's Ron?" Kairi asked. That momentary lapse of attention was all that Shego needed. She came at her quickly, and with one kick, nailed Kairi in the gut. Kairi went flying and slammed through two sets of double doors and onto a table. She also heard a slam of some kind of chips.

"Kairi!" she heard Ron's voice yell. She got up and saw Ron surrounded by a bunch of angry guys who he had clearly been playing cards with. Kairi flipped up and grabbed Ron's hand. She quickly dragged him back to the main room where Shego was now battling it out with both Kim and Mulan. But Kairi knew they needed assistance. Ron came up with an idea first. He quickly grabbed a cart full of food and shoved it toward Shego. But the momentum wasn't enough and so Kairi used her magic to slam the cart straight into Shego. Kim quickly ran up to her and grabbed her.

"Where's Drakken and what's he up to?" Kim demanded and Shego began laughing.

"Yeah, like I can understand his whacked plans." Shego chuckled out when suddenly a new voice entered into the cacophony.

"Shego, time to fly." came the voice and Kairi whipped around to see the blue visage of Dr. Drakken who pressed a button and blew out part of the ceiling. Shego quickly threw Kim off of her and sprinted toward Drakken who was getting on a small disc attached to a helicopter.

"Later Princess, Your Majesty!" Shego yelled out.

"It's Kairi!" Kairi yelled but it was in vain for they were already flying away. They had failed.

The next day, Kairi began her subbing at Middleton High. She taught gym for the most part and was forced to sign Ron's petition to reinstate Naco Night at Bueno Nacho which had only been hacked because of new management. Still, Kairi thought things were going rather well. Mulan was already visiting Global Justice to help build the army and during off-time, Monique was teaching her the ropes of high school: the two were becoming very fast friends. Kairi in the meantime had made progress at the Possible's home where she had met Mr. Dr. P and Mrs. Dr. P, as Ron frequently called them. They stated that they had once had a visitor from another world before and he was the nicest boy anyone could meet. Kim, however, did not share this opinion. Regardless, the Possibles welcomed Kairi with open arms and had even agreed to join their army due to their vast knowledge of the brain and rocket technology. And that was what ultimately led Kairi to be sitting at home around four o'clock that afternoon on the day she started teaching. James Possible was watching baseball and chatting amiably when Kim entered the room.

"Dad, we need to talk." Kim said and both Kairi and Dr. Possible faced her simultaneously. "It's about boys…" And that was where the conversation between father and daughter ended. James cast a quick look to Kairi and she seemed to get the hint. Kairi had spoken about her own family and her twins who were more than a handful (which was why she didn't mind the Tweebs Jim and Tim). So, Kairi walked with Kim up to her room.

"Okay, so Bonnie's going out with Brick Flagg, the school quarterback, so she's all high horse and she's all boys and the stupid prom and…and…and I'm gonna be stuck with Ron!" Kim yelled out exasperatedly.

"Isn't Ron your best friend though? I mean, he seemed like a pretty cool guy to me." Kairi said, though in reality it was just the fact that Ron reminded her of Sora.

"Yeah but he's…Ron…" Kim explained and Kairi chuckled at this. Kim threw a scathing look to her and she immediately ceased. "Look, who you go with…it makes a statement."

"I know that. I had Junior Prom once too. I dumped my boyfriend at the time for his best friend before I realized I wanted my old boyfriend back. We were best friends since we were five too, and now we're married. Look, just because Ron isn't high on the 'food chain' or whatever you call it doesn't mean anything." Kairi said and Kim just sat back and thought about that. In fact, she thought about it the whole evening as she was silent during dinner as well. The next morning however, it seemed she had come to a decision that displayed itself clearly when both Kairi and Kim met up with Monique and Mulan.

"Monique, you were right." Kim said with a smile to her best girlfriend.

"I know…about what?" Monique asked in confusion. Clearly she considered herself right about so many things that she didn't know what Kim was talking about.

"The Bonnie problem. Non-issue." Kim stated and Monique smiled at her, telling her to "Stand by her Ron". Ironically, that was the moment they approached Ron and saw him moving at the speed of a snail on a scooter. Kairi laughed when she saw it as Mushu clambered over to Rufus and started playing cards in the basket. The girls just ignored him and moved onto school…well, Mulan moved back onto Global Justice. School started going by even faster that day as Kairi started putting Bonnie through her paces in gym as payback for calling her a loser. At long last, however, lunch had come and both Kairi and Mulan (who had taken a lunch break as well) went to the cafeteria where Monique and Kim were eating. They sat down and ate with them and soon Ron arrived…but someone else was behind him.

"Well, why don't you take a seat Erik-" Ron began to say, but the nicely dressed, black haired by beat him to the punch and quickly sat in the chair next to Kim. "Well, isn't that interesting…usually that's my chair…not that my name's on it…"

"Erik, hi. How you doing?" the boy asked and suddenly, Kim seemed to freeze in place. The tension also ratcheted up, though only she seemed to notice it. Both Monique and Kim were completely blown away by this boy and Ron was, to say the least, jealous. Kairi immediately excused herself from her chair and moved out of the lunch room. Mulan cast her strange looks but figured she was just going to the bathroom.

But Kairi was doing no such thing. Ron liked Kim…Kim didn't realize it. Now this boy was entering into the picture. Kairi knew who she wanted to see together…and she felt something strangely odd about that boy. That was why she needed help. Help that only one person could give.

Author's Note: Okay, that was longer than I expected. I hope you enjoyed…but who is Kairi getting help from? In any case, I want my next update to be on Monday but it might not happen. Also, I finally finished setting up every Disney world and now we begin winding down said worlds in the next few chapters so hold tight. I also updated my profile page with a better summary of Illusion's Heart and a new poll I need you guys to vote on. Just as well, I've begun formatting a timeline in years and dates for easier placement of stories during the Tales of Existence (hint: Fear takes place during the year 2028). Lastly, for those of you who do not know it has been 181 days since I began this trilogy making it six months and therefore the halfiversary of this trilogy. Heh, 73 chapters in 181 days…quite a lot. So this is a Happy Halfiversary of this trilogy hurrah! Now please, pretty please, review and Dare to Be Silly.
