Sweet Freedom

Kim and Ron sat in the dining hall for-hopefully-the last time. After this, they got to go home. Shego tapped her fork against the edge of her tray. "Well Kimmie, how was prison life?"

Kim shuddered. "Awful. Although, not as bad as I thought it would be."

Shego smirked. "Yeah, well, take it from someone who's been in her fair share of prisons. This is by far the best one."

Drakken snorted. "You spend a maximum of three months in captivity. You have never finished your prison time."

"That's because I have friends on the outside to get me out. And when I'm out, that's when you get out. See how that works?"

Ron leaned in towards Kim. "Lovers spat." He whispered. Kim giggled. A hand fell on her shoulder. Glancing up, she saw the guard motion for her and Ron to follow him. "Time to go home, Miss Possible. I honestly didn't think you'd be able to spend a whole week with these people. I have enough trouble watching them."

Kim grinned. "You just have to know how to handle them." Grabbing Ron's arm and pulling him up, she began to follow the guard to freedom. Turning around, she waved at Shego and Drakken. "I have a feeling I'll be seeing you in a few weeks."

"Count on it Princess." Shego called as the teen hero's disappeared out the doors.

Kim took a deep breath and entered Middleton High. The second she stepped through the doors the whispering started up. It was only a matter of time before Bonnie showed up. Walking up to her locker, she was surprised when a certain hairless rodent jumped out and landed right in Ron's face.

"Rufus!" he cried gleefully, hugging the mole rat and placing him fondly in his pocket. "I missed you buddy."

"Me too." He said in his squeaky voice. Kim smiled and patted Rufus on the head before reaching in and turning on her computer. The face of their genius friend popped on the screen.

"I see you guys survived." Wade joked. Kim smirked.

"Nice to see you too, Wade. So, spill it. How bad has my rep dropped?"

Wade grinned. "Actually, it went up, if anything. Bonnie's plan backfired. When those pictures were posted on the school website, everyone thought you were one tough chick not to be messed with."

"No way!"

"Way. As for Bonnie, she was so busy trying to convince people that you flipped out and had a breakdown and you had to be shipped to prison for your safety, she completely neglected her cheerleader duties. They spent no time working on the cheer for the Cheer-Off, so Barkin made them drop out."

Kim felt that this was the greatest day in her life. "Does that mean what I think it means?"

"Up. Your fellow cheerleaders knocked Bonnie from her position as head cheerleader and refused to do anything until you came back."

"Kim!"

The red-head was soon enveloped in a hug by the relieved and eager Tara. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you!"

Kim smiled. "I think I have some idea."

Tara bit her lip. "You heard about the Cheer-Off's, huh?"

"Yup. But, if we work hard enough and throw in extra practice time, we can make our routine perfect AND make it to the Cheer-Off." Kim pulled her yellow and purple pom-poms from her locker and waved them in the air. "Grab the girls and let's get cracking. I'll take care of Barkin."

Tara whooped happily before taking off down the hall. "Kim, you ROCK!"

Kim turned to Ron and grinned broadly. "What do you know? It looks like losing that stupid bet was the best thing ever!"

Well, that is the end. Thank you to all that reviewed! I really appreciate it.
