In response to KP's Man's first review, here's why Kim Possible did NOT get the cheer captain position.

I do not own Bebe Stevens, she is property of South Park and is owned by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Setting: Hattesburg, Mississippi

Time: 6:00 PM Thursday

Location: James and Anne Possible's house

As Mr. and Mrs. Possible prepared for the football cookout which is slated at 7:30, Kim rested for an hour and a half on her bed after suffering from another barrage of the verbal barbs of Veruca, Camille, and London from this afternoon's cheerleading practice. Cheerleading practice had ended earlier than she anticipated. She continued to toss and turn in her purple cheerleading uniform. She thought back to the day where she could have been the cheerleading captain. She wished if those three hadn't ruined her life. She remembered it as if it were yesterday.

(Three Years Ago)

Kim Possible, then an energetic 13-year old, was emerging out of Middleton Junior High with all A's on her report card and so was her close friend, Bonnie Rockwaller. They soon discovered a flier for cheerleading tryouts for the Middleton High School Cheerleading Squad. So, on a stormy summer day, both Kim and Bonnie reported to the Middleton Gym where 40 girls were trying out. Only 22 could make it on the Cheer Squad and only three of those cheerleaders could make it as the Captain and the two Co-Captains. Bonnie took the safer route and became a regular cheerleader. First up was for Captain, the leading position.

Kim said to Bonnie, "With my athletic ability that I've honed over the past couple of months, B, I'll be on top of the pyramid."

"I sure do hope so for your sake, K, because I heard Veruca is coming to town with Camille and London."

Kim asked "Who is Veruca, Camille, and London?"

Just as she said those words, the gym doors swung open. A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky and a gust of wind of 20 mph blew across three shadows of glamour, ritz, and brattiness.

"Those three, K" Bonnie warned silently "They are Veruca Salt, Camille Leon, and London Tipton, the three snottiest cheerleaders ever to come across Middleton Junior High."

A young 13-year old Tara Queen whispered in Kim's ear, "I heard that they started to watch this 'Simpleton Life' where some dumb blond heiress and her illlegitimate friend frolic around like a bunch of idiots. And they watch it on a neverending basis."

"All right" Veruca stated to her cronies "London, Camille, get to the co-captain positions. Make sure those other cheerleaders do not occupy those slots." "Yes, Veruca" London and Camille said as they waited in line. "I want to be captain of the cheerleading squad where everyone will obey and respect me. Who is there to challenge me?", Veruca sneered as she looked into the crowd of scared cheerleaders.

There was no denying it, Veruca had the perfect body of a cheerleader. She also had enough flexilibility and agility to rival anyone that she faced. It would eventually be her off-the-field antics that got the most attention. Only the red-haired Kim stood out of that scared crowd, "I will challenge you, Veruca, and you will lose." So, there were the two soon-to-be cheerleaders: Kim Possible on the left, Veruca Salt on the right. The dance music began.

The cheers started off slow and both competitors followed the music quite well. Then, the cheering evolved into solo dance moves. The solo dance moves became more and more complex. In the end, it was a tie. So, the tryouts moved to the next part, the cheer pyramid. The cheerleaders who already made into the roster it were divided into eight cheerleaders for Kim and eight cheerleaders for Veruca. Bonnie was part of Kim's side. Again, like the cheers, the pyramid movements started out simple and basic. But, over a course of 55 minutes, they became more advanced. Still, it ended up as a tie between Kim and Veruca.

There was one dance move left, one that could make or shatter the dreams of earning the coveted position of a cheerleading captain. It was known as "The Penta-Twister". This was where 8 girls will throw one competitor up and the other 8 cheerleader would throw the othe one in the air. The two competitors will remain in the air simultaneouly and twirl 5 times 15 feet into the air. Whoever lands the competitor feet first without suffering any injuries, then the winning girl will be named cheerleading captain for the next four years. The procedure went off as normal. Everything was fine until the fifth and final twirl for Kim. Her right ankle, which had suffered under three grueling hours of cheerleading tryouts, suddenly gave way. She was now in mortal danger. Bonnie said to the other seven cheerleaders "Help, save Kim please" Sharpay Evans, Caitlin Cooke, and Tara, which were with Kim's group, immediately extended their hands with Bonnie and saved Kim's 4'11 83 lb. frame from her 15-foot freefall of death. With quick thinking, Bonnie saved Kim's life.

Bonnie then asked an exhaused Kim, "Does anything hurt, K?"

Kim weakily replied, "Yeah, B, my right ankle."

Bonnie replied "How bad is it, K?" Kim tried to stand up on her own power, but soon felt the full force of the injury of her ankle. Kim instantly fell in a heap and tears endlessly flowed from her emerald eyes, knowing that she lost her chance at the cheerleading captain position to Veruca.

Veruca, meanwhile, pulled off the Penta-Twister with relentless ease, all because she weighed 10 pounds less than Kim. She went through all five twists without any injuries and landed on her feet. So, Vercua did win the cheerleading captain position fair and square. But what came next would scar Kim to this day.

Veruca came up to an injured and crying Kim and insulted her "Awww look at the poor baby crying over her widdle old ankle, look at the tears falling down from her eyes." Then, to pour further salts in the wound, Veruca, Camille, and London joined in with each other in saying "red-headed coward, red-headed coward,red-headed coward,red-headed coward"

Bonnie, Tara, Sharpay, Caitlin, and Bebe Stevens carried an injured, humiliated, and crying Kim outside the gym doors. After Kim unceremoniously left the gym, Veruca took a box cutter in her knapsack and cut the mat where Kim's wet tears were still present and put the wet mat cutting into a glass jar that she hangs over her bed. She wanted to "glorify her triumph over the red-haired loser". London and Camille eventually got the co-captain positions.

Even thoug the first stom stopped, a second storm with rumbles of thunder was approaching the gym as Bonnie quickly called up Mrs. Possible on her cell phone. Luckily, Mrs. Possible was on break from doing brain surgery for the last 6 hours. She heard about the horrible news of Kim's broken right ankle and quickly picked her poor daughter up from the gym in her SUV, along with the other five girls. She got them to Forrest General. As the thunder rumbled across the sky, she got all the girls inside the hospital before the rain came down in sheets. As the rain continued to pour down heavily on the waiting room window, the five girls, especially Bonnie, hoped for some good news to come out of this traumatic mess.

Two hours passed, and the doctor gave them the good news and the bad news. "What we have on Kim was a right ankle sprain, very common in cheerleading especially in tryout season. Here's the good news: with the right dose of rehab, training and pain medications, she'll be able to walk again within a month. The bad news is that she would have to refrain from any strenuous activity for the next 2 months." All of the girls cheered as Kim came out of Forrest General in crutches. She was not willing to back down from a challenge. The tears that she cried earlier were gone.

In fact, in her freshman year, she did re-try as a cheerleader and quickly made it back to the team, but did not aim for cheerleading captain because of the doctor's orders and what she went through. She knew what happened on that fateful day with Veruca. Veruca and her two cronies, Camille and London quickly welcomed her back with barrages taunts and jeers. This has been going on for two and a half years. "Red-headed coward" was among Veruca's most favorite insult to use against Kim, but Veruca was smart enough to avoid saying those words in front of Kim during her sophomore and junior year. This was now Veruca's final year as the Middleton captain. All she saw in her three years as catain was moral decay among her and her co-captains and a divided cheerleading camp between the ever-fading minority who supported Veruca and the ever-growing majority who supported Kim. She didn't even know it yet until the football series with South Panola brough it to light again. Although they seemed unified on the football field and, in season, basketball court, there were many off-the-field issues with the Middleton cheerleaders under Veruca's leadership. And Veruca was about to new and unexpected adversaries to challenge her "authority".
