Chapter 10 – Prologue: Backstage

6:00pm (Humphreys County, Mississippi, near Belzoni)

An 18-wheeler was rolling along the historic Highway 49 in the sprawling cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta, well-known for catfish and the history of the blues.

However, this 18-wheeler had the initials of a fake company on its side: Western Exquisite Eggs with Transportation Co. in smaller print.

One of the WEE agents, Zeta 39, was driving the vehicle. The other one, Omega 37, was in communication with Will Du to figure out the next phase of their plan on a CB radio, one of the few types of technology that Wade cannot tap into.

"10-20, good buddy?" Du asked.

"We are in the Magnolia State doing a double-nickel on the 49, headed towards Capital J!" Omega 37 replied.

"10-4! I need you and my fellow...good buddies...to capture that Intelligent Mama Bear for me at the Capital J Convention Center! Bring her to the home base by midnight tonight. We need to be silent this time, unlike last year. The last thing our agency needs is a whole lot of smokies on our tail." Du said in the trucker lingo of what their next phase of the plan will be. "Volcania supplied for us a wonderful Doomsday machine ready to be used. Now, all we have to do is to bring the Intelligent Bears to their knees!"

"10-4, Number One." Omega 37 acknowledged.

The 18-wheeler continued its way south. Its target was the Fannies ceremony.

Jackson Plaza Hotel, Ridgeland, Miss., October 28, 2018, 5:00pm, Room 1119

"Are the both of you ready?" Kim asked her two kids as she and Ron came up into their hotel room. Ron was dressed in a three-piece black tuxedo with a black bowtie and black dress shoes. His wife, on the other hand, was in a beautiful Hollywood red flowing dress with dangling red earrings to match the color of her done-up hair.

Kim used the card to open the door and saw that her two little munchkins were jumping up and down the bed.

"We're like our mom! We're making sure to avoid the floor that is filled with lava!" Jusin exclaimed. Like his dad, he too was in a small black tuxedo while his 3 1/2-year old sister was in a beautiful baby-blue dress.

"You two are going to ruin your outfits jumping up and down like that!" Kim exclaimed while taking a hold of Justin. "This is your first time going to a formal event such as this and I don't want you both to look like a bunch of ragamuffins!"

"But Mom..." Justin complained, "...we wanna be like you!"

"Saving the world is cool!" Alexa also added.

"They get that from you, you know, KS!" Ron grinned.

"Aww... I can't stay mad at you!" Kim grinned, teasing her husband's cheek before kissing him on the lips.

"Ewww...cootie alert!" Justin reacted with disgust as his parents were exchanging their love.

Ron chuckled and replied, "Someday, sport, you're going to kiss a girl in the future."

"I don't wanna end up in a cootie hospital!" Justin complained.

Alexa giggled and added, "You're gonna have them!"

"Quiet you..." Justin muttered to his sister.

"Will you two just behave?" Kim said sternly to the Stoppable kids, "The limo is going to be here in 15 minutes! I'll put these mary janes on Alexa and we'll head downstairs!"

Jackson Municipal Auditorium, October 28, 2018, 6:59pm

Sharper was very nervous about going out on stage. He was wearing a new blue-striped, seersucker suit with a blue tie and his white sneakers. But his tie was loose and his white shirt was untucked in a couple of areas.

"I don't know if I can do this!" he exclaimed, sweating very profusely from his forehead. He tried to pat down the sweat with a white cotton handkerchief with one hand while holding 4x6 notecards that contained his monologue in the other hand.

"What if they throw vegetables at me?"

"Sharper, they are not going to throw vegetables at you!" Andrew replied confidently. He is known as Phantom and a very talented KP fanartist, almost as good as Hotrod.

"They like you for all the things that you do for this fandom. You singlehandedily won the 'Neb award last year and hosted it when Whitem had his family sitch."

He was looking spiff and clean in a black tuxedo.

"Shapie..." Legionnaire remarked while straightening out her friend's tie, "...you should really get over the problems of last years' ceremony! And I don't mean the ceremony lasting for five hours!" She was in a purple dress that reached her kneecap and hoop earrings.

"I won't be captured again." Sarah replied gingerly, whom went by the penname of KPRS4ever. She was wearing a beautiful baby-blue dress, two inch high heels, dangly earrings, and a flower crown on her head.

Sarah continued to get a sugar rush from eating the gummi bears from her ziploc bag, for this was her favorite candy of all time.

"Ooooh! I just would love to see Kim and Ron kiss on stage!"

"Not with all the layers of security that Global Justice and Slipgate added for this year."

"Plus, you got Kim and Ron out in the crowd!" Daisy added, as she was wearing a pink dress that fit her figure and three-inch pink high heels. As was her trait, she had a pen right between her ears and was nicknamed "the Poison Pen" for she can write at a moment's notice. "They'll hunt down any intruder that comes here in mere seconds!"

"It's not security that I am worried about." Sharper sighed as he got most of the sweat off his head and his notes in order. "It's the KP live-action movie."

"What? Oh, not this issue again!" Daisy bemoaned. She had seen the posts from AddressBook and Flitter about the negativity of the live-action movie, specifically towards the 16-year old playing Kim and the 18-year old actor playing Ron.

Tennente sighed, rolling his eyes in disgust, "I hope they don't screw with Shego's costume. The castin' for her is spot on, but if they don't get the green and black down on Bae's outfit, then I'm suin'!"

"Come on, they will get the roles down!" Sarah replied with glee and anticipation.

"The girl playing Kim still looks like a twelve-year old ta me!" Tennente muttered while looking at the Kim actress in the new mission outfit. "In fact, I don't even know the Hell what those straps on her mission uniform are for if she were to tie Bae's legs up! She'd burn right through them..."'

Sharper, regaining his composure, simmered down the debate.

"Y'all, we shouldn't make this whole bru-haha the 800-pound gorilla in the room here! Let's keep all mentions on the live-action movie to a minimum in this ceremony."

Then, the instrumental version of the Kim Possible theme started to play from behind the curtain.

"Yo...Sarah!" Sharper exclaimed while turning to one of his best female friends, "We're live!"

"I'm right behind you, Sharper!" Sarah said while trailing behind him.
