"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." muttered Naruto as he exited the guidance counselor's office. "More extra curricular activities? Isn't tagging along with Kim to half the stuff she does enough? Plus, I save the world on a weekly basis, doesn't that count for something." grumbled the blond as he slunk down the hall. Before he could toss the new 'recommendations' for his additional school activities in the trash, Kim came around the corner and fell in step with him.
"You're finished already? That was quick. We should be able to make it just in time for story time at the hospital. The counselor loved all my extra curricular at my session..." Kim was practically glowing as she gave full break down of great her session was.
Naruto shook his head, 'This must be the damn standard that guy is holding me to. No way am I doing as much as her. She's crazy!'
Dropping into his 'I'm paying attention even though I'm not paying attention' mode, his mind drifted to his secret exploits to cultivate his new powers. They weren't going well to say the least.

The D-Crew and Naruto had met up at Wade's adopted testing site, Middleton's old Auto Salvage Yard. Naruto wanted to adopt to the abandoned gas station next to the old salvage yard as a secret hideout. The idea was shot down when Wade reminded him that his saving the world activities were not so secret, so there was no need for a secret hideout. The idea was rekindled fifteen minutes later when Naruto countered with the proposal of a headquarters instead of a hideout. The entire train of thought was lost when Vinnie thought he spotted an old Dodge Charger.
Naruto stood grunted and gritting his teeth as he tried to reach within and will the energy to the surface. Overall it looked like he was really constipated.
Wade sighed, "This isn't working. Maybe you need to try something different."
"What? Do you have a mystical monkey power handbook just lying around somewhere that I don't know about?" quipped Naruto in annoyance.
"No, but this obviously isn't working." remarked Wade.
"Maybe you try those weird monkey poses that guy was doing." suggested Junior.
Everyone sweat-dropped at the suggestion.
"What? If it worked for the monkey dude, it could work for you too!" defended Junior.
"Do I look like some kind of freakish man-monkey to you?" deadpanned Naruto.
Junior gained a pensive expression, "Well, remember in science class when-"
Vinnie groaned and shook his head in annoyance, "Just quit while your ahead man."
"Super Power experimentation is tabled for now. Wade add it to your research pile when you get some free time." declared Naruto.
"Then the meeting of the Brain Trust is now in session." announced Big Mike.
Junior gave his friends a puzzled look, "Brain Trust? I thought we were the D-crew?"
"We added Wade in an official capacity at least on a part time basis." informed Vinnie.
"Wade's not a detention sort of guy so we've been upgraded to a Brain Trust." clarified Naruto.
"Sweet! I've always wanted to be a part of a Brain Trust." The four other males burst out in laughter. "What? It's a noble aspiration!"
Vinnie banged his fist on the ground, "Oh man! He even busted out the SAT words!"

Due to the severe shortage of mystical monkey powers, Ron Stoppable was now dreading the Konichiwa Ramen bill sure to be incurred the next time Naruto paid him a visit. Naruto let out a sigh a relief when halfway to the hospital, Kim finally changed subjects from her counseling session. To his annoyance her babbling turned to Josh Mankey. During history she'd lucked out and ended up partnered with Bonnie for their projects instead of Josh. Thankfully she received a call on the Kimmunicator, but it turned out to be Tara, which lead to more Mankey babble and giggling. Naruto had nothing against the guy, it was just highly annoying the way Kim's mind turned to mush at the mention of his name. He let his mind wander to other important thoughts like the need to have Rufus go Caddyshack on Duff Killigan the next time they encountered him. Eventually his thoughts settled a certain dark haired cheerleader that he'd been seeing a lot at lunch recently and luckily ended up partners with for the project.
"Hope." he sighed wistfully.
Unfortunately for him, Kim had just got off the line with Tara, "Hope?"
Realizing the precious information he just let slip through he lips, he quickly amended, "Hope that the Konichiwa Ramen all you can eat Sunday's never goes away."
Kim just gave him a skeptical look, "Right..."
Eventually the pair made their way to the pediatrics wing of the hospital. Heading down the hall to the play area for the patients they found both of their mothers talking outside of patient's room.
"Hi Mom, Hi Mrs. P." greeted Kim.
"Hey Mrs. S, Hey Mom." greeted Naruto.
Mai rolled her eyes at their cheek, "How cute."
Anne let out a chuckle, "The kids have been a little extra giddy today, waiting to see you."
"It would make sense the you two would fit in with a bunch of six and seven year olds." joked Mai.
Naruto suddenly started shaking his hips and pointing his fingers as he adopted a goofy accent to go along with his dancing, "The children like to play and laugh with with us!"
Kim joined in with him, "That is why we tell them our wacky world saving stories!"
"Because we are..." began Naruto.
"The wild and crazy guys!" they announced together.
Anne shook her head, "And to think they used be so cute when they were younger."
"Then they grow up to these monstrous things known as teenagers." added Mai with a smirk.
Kim and Naruto gave each other a look before simultaneously blowing raspberries at their mothers.
"You two-" began Anne.
She was cut off as an young black haired male intern came barreling down the hall with some slides in his hands, "Here are the CT results!"
Mai grabbed the slides and stepped inside the patients room with Anne, the intern moved to follow only to be cut off by the red haired surgeon, "We're still waiting on those EKG results."
The young doctor's head dropped as the door slammed in front of him and he sighed before turning around and slinking back down the hallway.
"You're new so we'll give you one key piece of advice." called out Kim.
He paused, "What's that?"
Naruto gave him a dead serious look, "No matter wherever you go in life, always beware Johnny the tackling the Alzheimer's patient."
The intern turned around with a befuddled expression, "Huh?"
Out of nowhere a brown haired man in hospital gown leaped out of the room across the hall and crashed into the young doctor, "Who am I!"
Kim and Naruto rolled their eyes in unison, "Interns..."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Kim chucked a french fry at Naruto, "Are you even listening to me?"
The pair were down in the cafeteria snacking and doing homework as they waited for Anne to give them a ride home since Mai was working an evening shift. Rufus scrambled after the fry after it bounced of Naruto's forehead.
"Yes, your detailing the wonderful life of an over achiever. You are the dattebayo of Middleton high, congratulations." drawled Naruto.
Kim let out a huff of annoyance, "A slacker like you could stand to add on a few extra curricular activities for your college application."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "I have been granted a body with absolutely freakish athleticism. Colleges will be fighting over me tooth and nail to have the next great two-sport star. My college application will be a highlight tape."
"Last time I checked, you only run track." countered Kim.
"And next year I'll be playing football." replied Naruto.
"When did you make this startling new discovery that you were football material?" dryly questioned Kim.
Naruto shrugged, "It's not new. Both Waldo Jackson and Arnie Thomas ran track for two years before taking over as the start wide-outs on varsity as juniors. Barkin has been doing it that way for years. When they graduate this year, Phillips and yours truly are next in line."
"Well, that's next year. So, that means you have time to help out the charity benefit with me on Thursday." countered Kim.
'Where the hell does she sign up for all this stuff?' thought Naruto. "Yeah sorry, but no can do. My schedule is booked for Thursday."
Kim raised an eyebrow, "Oh, yeah? Booked with what?"
Looking around he spotted Anne entering the cafeteria and waving towards them that is was time to go. "Taking Hope out on a date! Shotgun!" quickly blurted Naruto before he grabbed Rufus, his stuff, and dashed towards the exit.
Kim sat there for a few moments, completely dumbfounded.
"Who? What? When? How?" muttered the dazed redhead. "Hey, you get back here! My mom's car, I get- wait a minute! You're not getting off the hook that easily!"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Kim's inner-gossip was unleashed to the maximum on the ride home, attacking Naruto from all angle in search of information. Naruto had managed to resist all forms of interrogation about the bomb of information he dropped on her before the left the hospital. He only let it slip that Hope was the one who asked him out, before clamming up again. Anne barely managed to suppress her laughter the entire way home, but couldn't hold back anymore once they arrived at home and Naruto dashed out of the car as if the hounds of hell were on his heels.
"This isn't funny mom! He managed to sneak this right under my nose without me suspecting a thing!" ranted Kim.
Anne chuckled, "I think it's cute that Naruto's found himself a girlfriend."
Kim shot her mother a glare, "One date does not a girlfriend make!"
Anne's lips formed sly grin, "Looks like someone is a little jealous."
"Yes I am!" Anne's eyes widened in shock. "The farthest I got with Josh was going to the dance, yet somehow Naruto has leaped into the world of full fledged dating already! It's not fair!"
"That wasn't what I meant by jealous. I guess everything is a competition to you." muttered Anne as she pulled out her cell phone and called her husband. "Hey, Hon. Calling in a pizza for dinner. Any topping requests?"
"Well, you can never go wrong with bacon." replied James as he absentmindedly leaned back and placed his hand down on the launch lever for the rocket he was working on in the lab. Alarms and went off as the rocket launched, but he paid it no mind while talking to Anne. "I guess I'll be seeing you in thirty minutes or less!"
"And what do I get for free if you're late?" coyly replied Anne, causing James to grin.
"Well, I've been told I have magic hands." The alarms blaring from the rocket launch finally registered, "Uh-oh! Gotta go!"
As he got to work trying to assess the damage on the launched rocket, his phone rang again, "Hello?"
"Possible, your old pal Bob Chen here. Did you just launch a rocket over there?" asked Bob.
"On the QT Bob, prototype G6 rocket. Yep, she went up like a beauty." responded James. "Too bad she wasn't supposed to go up until next Thursday."
Bob chuckled, "Lean on a button again?"
James shook his head, "Roger that Bob."
"So, we'll see you at the class reunion next weekend?" inquired Bob.
"Affirmative on that. Oh! Looks like the military is surrounding my rocket, better hop off." replied James.
"See ya at the reunion, buddy!" Bob let out chuckle as he hung up the phone. "Same old Possible..."
His laughter was cut short as he swiveled around in his chair to find three shadowed figures with glowing red eyes closing in on him.
"Ahh!" screamed the Astronomer.

The next day after cheer leader practice, Kim made sure to stay out of the line of sight of Hope. Her inability to hold back her inner gossip had inadvertently brought down the full fury of Bonnie on the dark haired girl. She simply wouldn't tolerate Naruto being involved with anyone on the squad, claiming they had an image to maintain.
"You cannot go through with this Hope." declared Bonnie.
Hope rolled her eyes, "There is no rule that says that I can't go out with the schools resident track star."
"This is not date a dead last week!" growled Bonnie.
"Actually he's moved up in the class rankings to almost at the middle of the pack." informed Tara.
"Well, you're lowering the standards of the squads by dating someone so middle of pack in terms of popularity!" accused Bonnie.
Tara shot that down, "Actually he's top 10 now. On the category of name recognition alone, he's number one in the school. His Facebook fan page is even more popular than Kim's."
That caught their captain's attention, "What!"
Hope smirked, "He's planning on getting a twitter account too."
"If it wasn't for the fact that he started with a mediocre ranking, he'd be third in the school behind Josh and Brick." added Tara.
"How do you know all of this!" demanded an exasperated Bonnie.
Tara blushed, "Well, I'd been doing a little research and if Hope hadn't asked him out..."
Bonnie couldn't believe it, "You've got to be kidding me! Has the whole world gone insane!"
Liz gave hope a high five, "Way to get on the ground floor Hope!"
Bonnie was getting desperate, "Help me out here, Kim!"
Kim ignored her as she sat down next to Tara, Kimmunicator in hand, "There's no way he should have more facebook friends than me. You must have been looking at our shared page..."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"Yes. I know. She's awesome. She's terrific. I'm trying eat desert here, I'll call you back later! Bye!" Kim let out a sigh as she hung up the Kimmunicator, "That poor boy has lost his mind."
Anne shot her daughter a look across the dinner table, "Kim, I don't think it could have gone that bad."
"It's not that Mom. The date went great, Hope texted Liz, who texted me before Naruto even called. He was going on and on about him Rickrolling her is what got her to ask him out!" ranted Kim.
James was lost, "Rickroll? Is that some new slang?"
Kim shook her head, slightly annoyed, "No Dad. It's internet prank, that sends you to a Rick Astley video on youtube. I bet Naruto is Rickrolling himself right now."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Mai walked passed her son's room and froze as she saw Naruto through his partially cracked door wrapped in a towel and using a chopstick as a microphone.
"Never gone give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around-"
Sighing, she continued on trying to immediately repress the memory, "At least I didn't catch watching porn again...no, maybe that would have been better."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"Rick Astley! Now, that doesn't sound like a prank to me, it sounds like good honest fun!" exclaimed James. "Never gone give you up! Never gonna let you down-"
Kim cut him off, "Dad, focus please! I don't think I can take anymore of him going on and on and on and on...you get the picture."
Kim's shoulders slumped, "Well no, but that's because he can do that thing where he's listening to me, but not actually listening to me. My mind isn't that easily distracted."
Anne shrugged, "The price of having a male best friend, I guess you'll just have to deal."
"Well, having best friends of male variety in my younger days, perhaps I can relate a little better. Back in the days of the big science department mixer. My posse and I.." began James.
Kim shot him a look, "Posse? Really?"
James nodded, "Yes, we were the biggest group of brains on campus. Now, as I was saying, we were all counting on our friend Drew to find us all dates. We were on the edge of seats, as he walked in through that door. And you know what he brought with him?"
Kim quirked an eyebrow, "What?"
"Three robots that could barely have passed for vacuum cleaners. He dressed them up with dresses and wigs and called them Bebe." replied James.
Kim couldn't contain herself and erupted with laughter.
James chuckled, "Yep, that was our reaction too. We laughed long and hard. Drew dropped out after that and we never saw him again. I don't think he ever forgave us and deep down I don't think we ever forgave ourselves either."
"For just a fit of giggles?" asked Kim.
James shook his head, "No, no! When I say we laughed long and hard, I mean for days, almost a week, and with reckless youthful abandon. In our defense, it was simply too funny."
"I guess I should consider myself lucky that I'm friends with boy who can get a real date instead of resorting to desperate measures." reasoned Kim.
"Exactly!" responded James.
Anne just looked back and forth between her husband and daughter, not having a clue how they saw how either situation remotely had anything to do with the other.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Kim found dealing with Middleton's new couple not as horrifying as she anticipated. Sitting at lunch with Liz, Hope, and Naruto, she found the intermixed with the puke worthy mushy moments, was lots of laughter. The pair both shared a wide ranging an often crude sense of humor.
"It's nice to be having lunch, but I don't think you've been to D-Hall all week." said Hope.
Naruto waved off her concern, "Nah, Vinnie and Big Mike can handle it just fine now. I lately only been tagging along when I don't have anything better to do."
"What about Junior?" asked Hope.
"Rufus is training Junior in the art of stealth and espionage." replied Naruto. "It's kind of funny, watch this! Junior!"
After calling his fellow blond's name, Naruto let out a sharp whistle. Suddenly the trash can lid next to Bonnie's table popped up, revealing Junior with rufus on his shoulder.
"Yeah, boss?" responded Junior as everyone except Naruto looked at him with a befuddled expression.
"Put a hold on this weekend's operation. Use the supplies for the same thing, just on 6th period girls gym. They're using the pool." informed Naruto.
"Roger that!" replied Junior as he and Rufus dropped back down into the trash can.
Naruto sighed wistfully, "Good 'ol garbage network."
Hope narrowed her eyes at him, "What's going on with 6th period girls gym?"
'Man, she catches on quick!' thought Kim.
Naruto leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Well, that's Bonnie's gym period. Kim told me how Bonnie was giving you the third degree yesterday, so I figured it was only fair..."
"Oh!" Hope's eyes widened as Naruto revealed his plan, before settling into a smirk that was directed at Bonnie. She then whispered a few things into Naruto's ear, of with the ingenious yet diabolical nature rewarded her with a long kiss, with tongue. Fortunaetly for Kim, she was distracted from the mushy moment by the sight of Josh in the cafeteria line.
Later that day, a couple of chocolate bars tainted with the smell of stink gas managed to appear in the pool just as Bonnie took her laps. The embarrassing lecture from Coach Summers about having proper fiber in her diet in front of the rest of the class was recorded and passed around the school before the day was over. When Bonnie went to take her frustrations out on her before cheer practice later, Hope only needed to whip out her phone and press play to silence her.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Kim's attempts later to work on her project with Bonnie quickly resolved into them figuring out they worked better apart then together. Bonnie went home and Kim made her way to the other side of the library and settled down at the table next to the one Naruto and Hope were occupying. She soon found herself contemplated if she would have been better off with Bonnie. Bonnie was an annoyance for sure, but being near the flirty couple simply irritated the redhead for some unknown reason.
The redhead let loose a sigh of relief when the Kimmunicator beeped,"What up Wade?"
"I've got a weird one!" replied the young genius.
"Good, anything is welcome distraction at this point." responded Kim.
"Professor Ramesh from the Mount Middleton Observatory needs your help." informed Wade.
"I know that name from somewhere...I think he's a friend of my Dad." muttered Kim.
"Ramesh's partner, Professor Chen is missing!" explained Wade.
"Wade set up a ride." she turned and shot an annoyed glance at Naruto and Hope, who were in the midst of another mushy moment and now playing footsie underneath the table. "I'll make sure the lover-boy here makes it one piece."
"Come on Naruto! Mission Time!" announced Kim with annoyance scowl.
"Ah, really?" complained Naruto with sigh. "I'm going to miss you..."
"Well, I'm going to miss you more!" teased Hope.
Naruto got nose to nose with her, "No, I'm going to miss you more!"
"Nope! Not as much as me!"
"Nuh-huh! I'll miss you more!"
"No way, I'm going to miss you way more!"
Kim face-palmed, "And, I'm going to miss my lunch after I puke."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"And there's you're live at five update from your eye over Middleton!" announced the pilot/traffic reporter as he landed the chopper down on the grassy hills of Mount Middleton.
"Thanks for the lift Dallas!" called out Kim as she stepped out. Naruto was close behind her, but preoccupied with chatting on his cellphone.
"It's the least I could do after you brought that interstate police chase to a peaceful end." replied Dallas.
Kim waved off the compliment as usual, "It was no big. The guy didn't even know he had a broken tail light."
Normally her blond best friend would chime in with a ,'What kind of idiot wouldn't hear the sirens', but he was otherwise preoccupied. And he was also rapidly getting on Kim's nerves, "No you hang up first!...No you!...We do it at the same time on three okay? One...two...three...Awww you didn't do it! You hang up..."
Kim snatched the phone away from him in annoyance, "I'll hang up!"
"Hey! What did you go and do that for!" whined Naruto.
The redhead just stared at him as if he was insane, "Hello! We have a mission!"
"It could have-" His protest was cut off by an explosion from the Observatory "...waited a few more minutes."
Kim rewarded his sheepish grin with a smack across the back of the head as they sprinted towards the observatory. Within the building, Dr. Ramesh was having a rough go of it. Smoke poured out the damaged computers and machinery in his laboratory as he slowly backed away from the shadowy figures closing in on him.
"Stay back!" pleaded the Indian Astronomer as the intruders fully emerged from the shadows. His jaw dropped in shock as the light revealed them as a trio of feminine robots. All three were identical in appearance with blond hair, red eyes, tight black fabric covering their upper torso like a sleeveless version of Kim's mission top and covering blow the midriff like a bikini. All posed a mole like indentation just above the right of their upper lip and their hair was done in an old fashioned style from the 1950s with a hairband.
"Dr. Ramesh, we have come for you." announced the robots as they closed in on him.
Dr. Ramesh couldn't figure out why they would come for him, "Who? Who are you?"
The robots suddenly vibrated rapidly for a few seconds before blurring around the room at super speed.
"I am Bebe." announced the first as it appeared behind him.
"I am Bebe." announced the second as it appeared the left of her.
"I am Bebe." announced the third as she closed the circle around him.
"And I am Kim." announced Kim as she and Naruto walked through the entrance.
"Is it just me or am I seeing triple?" muttered Naruto as he let out an appreciative whistle. "Talk about taking a blow up doll to the next level."
The Bebes turned their attention to Kim and scanned her, "Analysis Subject: Kim Possible. Threat level: Minimal."
"Minimal? That cuts me deep." sarcastically replied Kim.
They then turned to Naruto, "Analysis Subject: Buffoon. Threat level: Buffoon."
"Hey! That doesn't even make sense!" shouted Naruto. "Wait a minute! Only one guy calls me a Buffoon! You work for Drakken! Ha! Dr. Smurf had to build himself some Smurfettes!"
"Threat level upgraded: Joker." corrected the Bebes.
Naruto smirked, "About time somebody appreciates my skills."
"This is so not the time to stroke your comedic ego." groaned Kim.
Charging the Bebes, Kim did a pair of back flips before launching herself at the lead Bebe with a flying kick. The Bebe easily caught her by the legs and flung her towards the observatory's giant telescope. Kim managed to flip in the air and plant her feet on the side of the telescope before springing back down to the ground.
"So, maybe the direct approach, isn't best here." commented Kim.
The trio of female robots found their heads shrouded in stink gas. They started vibrating and the gas quickly dissipated to reveal them completely unaffected.
Kim sweat-dropped, "Stink gas isn't going to work! They're robots, they can't smell!"
"I knew that! Force of habit!" yelled Naruto as he changed tactics, throwing some smoke bombs for cover in the middle of the room where the Bebes and Professor Ramesh were standing. The blond quickly darted in and out of the smoke, pushing along Professor Ramesh in a wheeled office chair towards the door.
"Running around with all that hunky metal, they're probably really slow!" Naruto turned and shouted to Kim. "Let's make a run for it?"
His suggestion ended up as a question because when Naruto had turned back around he found Professor Ramesh gone from the chair, "Hey where'd he go?"
One of the Bebe's arms had extended an Inspector Gadget like fashion and pluck Ramesh from the chair. Their target acquired the Bebes started vibrating before vanishing in a blur right past Naruto out the front door.
Naruto let out a whistle, "Okay, that speed is so not natural. And even it was, I'm still the fastest man in Middleton."
"The robots take Professor Ramesh, now we've got two missing scientists, three killer Bebes, and this is what you're worrying about!" yelled Kim.
Naruto held his hands up in a placating fashion, "Hey, take it easy, KP. While we were getting our buts kicked, my main man Rufus was looking for clues."
"Uh-huh! Got it!" squeaked Rufus as he alerted them to a busted picture frame on the floor. They walked over to the picture frame and Kim picked it up.
"Whoa! The prof back when he had hair! Nice!" commented Naruto.
"It that's Professor Ramesh, the guy on the left must be Professor Chen." observed Kim.
"Hey, Kim that third guy looks familiar..." muttered Naruto as he tried to place the face.
"Holy Crap it's my Dad!" exclaimed Kim in shock.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Back at the Possible household at meeting of the minds was taking place. Naruto considered suggesting a an official title for these type of gatherings like they did for the 'Brain Trust', but dismissed it as soon as he realized there was not another name as cool as 'Brain Trust' to be used. Mostly Wade and Kim tried to piece together the puzzle of the robots, the missing scientists, and her father, while Naruto drifted in-and-out as he texted with Hope.
"Maybe, Drakken is trying to get to me through my Dad." pondered Kim.
Wade shook his head, "No way, it doesn't add up. Why would Dr. Drakken attack, you through your Dad and his friends? It's not his style. His plans aren't complex in that way. He's all about creating schemes using some overly complicated doomsday device."
Kim yanked at her hair in frustration, "You're right, it's not his MO!"
Another possibility popped up into Naruto's head, "It's definitely his work though, no one else calls be Buffoon. Maybe he made the robots and sold them someone else."
Kim hopped out of her chair and started pacing back and forth, "That could be it. Drakken created the robots and sold them to someone...someone looking for revenge against my Dad and his 'posse'. It has got to be Drew Lipsky!"
Wade pulled up their photos side by side, "I've got no real connections here between they two. Drew Lipsky has pretty much been off the radar since he dropped out school. He has no criminal record."
"They kind of look a like, except for Drakken being blue in all. Maybe they're cousins?" observed Naruto. "Wait a minute, maybe he's -nah there's no way."
Kim wanted to know what he was thinking anyway, "What is it?"
Naruto laughed, "I was thinking the Lipsky is Dr. Drakken, but there's no way."
Kim mulled it over for a minute before dismissing it as well, "Yeah, that would be way to weird. We need to figure out something about my Dad. Those Bebes probably have them as the next target?"
"Target for what now?" interrupted James as he walked into the kitchen.
Wade was suddenly struck with inspiration, "I've made a few upgrades to my holograms. Dr. P, we're going to need to borrow your car for a few minutes in the morning."
Dr. Possible scratched the back of his head nervously, "Can't you use your mother's?"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The next morning, sporting a trench coat over his usual work attire, James Possible strolled out to his car. Unlocking and opening the doors he threw his suitcase and lab coat in the backseat. Unknown to him, he had three robotic observers watching him from the roof of his house.
"Subject: Dr. Possible. Directive: Capture." announced one of the Bebes.
As soon as he closed the door and started the car, the three Bebes lurking on the roof moved in on their target. James looked up in shock as three metal fists punched holes in his roof before pulling it back a large section of it.
"Doctor," announced the three Bebes as they reached down to pull him out. "We have come for you."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"Kimberly Anne Possible!" yelled James Possible as he slammed open the door to the Middleton high school gymnasium, bringing cheer practice to a halt.
Bonnie grinned, "Looks like the captain is about to get grounded."
"Daddy! Hi!" greeted Kim with a forced grin. She hurried over to him and gave him a hug, "What are you doing here?"
Dr. Possible glared at her, "You said, you needed my car only for a distraction. Not that you were going to put a massive hole in the roof!"
Kim narrowed her eyes, "He and Wade were only supposed to get a holographic version of you captured as bait so we could find the location of your missing friends."
James scoffed, "Looks more like my car was the bait! That really grinds my gears!"
Hope interrupted as she got a text on her cell, "Kim, Naruto says he finished preparing his gear for the mission."
Now Kim was lost, "Gear? What gear?"
Junior's head suddenly popped up out of the trash can next to bleachers, "The boss says he's almost done with the mission gear, Kim."
He looked around seeing that Kim was not alone, and spotted Hope with her phone in hand, "Oh, boss lady is already on it. Never mind me, carry on!"
Liz gave Hope a new found look of respect, "It's like you married into some sort of criminal organization. That is pretty cool."
A shiver suddenly ran down Kim's spine, "Come on Dad, it seems Naruto has been scheming again."
He shot her a puzzled glance, "Scheming?"
Junior popped up out of the trash can, "Boss, uses his pranking powers to out whit the villain."
He then vanished again.
James scratched his chin, "Unorthodox counter strategies? Sounds intriguing..."
"When it works, yeah. Other times it just means more work for me." replied a shrugging Kim as they left the gym.
Bonnie ran over to the trash can and picked up the lid to find it empty, "How in the hell does he keep doing that?"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
On a metal platform with an energy barrier inside a dark room stood Dr. Possible, Dr. Ramesh, and Dr. Chen. Standing guard around the platform were the three Bebes.
Dr. Ramesh was puzzled by their capture, "Who could be behind all this?"
"It's obvious! Some villain intends to use our genius to help take over the world." declared Dr. Chen. "What else could it be?"
"Don't delude yourselves gentlemen." interjected Dr. Drakken as he walked into the room. "There only one who can call himself a genius in this room is me, Dr. Drakken!"
"Drew? Drew Lipsky is that you?" questioned Professor Ramesh.
"Wait, that's Drew Lipsky?" exclaimed Dr. Possible.
"He may be blue, but that's definitely Drew!" affirmed Bob.
Ramesh snorted and elbowed him in the ribs, "Nice rhyme."
"It doesn't matter if he used to be our chum, Drew. He goes by the name of Dr. Drakken now!" informed Dr. Possible. "No worries! My daughter and her comrade will be along to deal with you shortly!"
Drakken gave him a blank look, "Your daughter? Who's she?"
James shot him a deadpan look, "Kim? Kim Possible your arch foe?"
Drakken couldn't believe it, "Wait, you mean to tell me that you Dr. James Possible my old college cohort are related to Kim Possible?"
James shook his head, "Obviously."
"It is not so obvious! Possible is a common last name!" yelled Dr. Drakken.
Bob rolled his eyes, "No it's not."
"It is! I will prove it!" ranted Dr. Drakken as he stomped away. "Where is the phone book..."

Wade had tracked the Bebes using the holographic Dr. Possible back to the Middle Motor Lodge, Naruto had already gone off ahead to execute his part of the plan. The basics of the plan was for him to create a diversion while Kim and her Dad freed his friends. They only had to deliver the box he'd left behind to Dr. Drakken to initiate the diversion. They found Rufus waiting on top of the box right next to his Dr. P's car, snacking away. Dr. Possible loaded it into his back seat before departing to the lodge. Despite Kim's protest against her father's slow driving, they eventually made it to the lodge.
"Man! What is in this box!" groaned Dr. Possible as he loaded the cardboard box painted with an odd red, blue and grey design out of his backseat and onto a dolly. Wade had tracked the Bebes taking their tracing beacon back to the Middle Motor Lodge. "Hey, can I get a little help here!"
The valet made no response, hunched over his stand motionless. Kim walked up to him and then took a look inside to find the various other employees and guest in a similar state, "No help here, these people have all been hit with knockout gas."
James let out a grunt as he pushed the dolly through the door, "Well, they better get this all ironed out for the reunion next weekend."
"Kim, can you place the Kimmunicator on the front desk, so I can get a wireless tap into the intercom system?" asked Wade.
"No problem, Wade." replied Kim as she did as he asked.
"You guys won't believe what the Holo-Dr. P discovered." spoke Wade as he hacked into the system. "Naruto was right, Dr. Drakken is actually Drew Lipsky!"
Kim was shell-shocked, "No way!"
"How in the heck did he turn Blue?" questioned a befuddled Dr. Possible.
As the two Possibles contemplated that fact, Wade took a deep breath and embraced his inner Jerky Boy.

"Okay, so you were right. In Middleton there is only one Possible family. But still there is no way i should be expected to conclude that my archenemies is related to some guy I went to college with." ranted Drakken as he walked back into room with his hostages and tossed the phone book aside. With lights on, the room was fully illuminated to reveal the ballroom set up for the college reunion next weekend. Before Drakken could continue his rant, he was interrupted by a call over the intercom system.
"Yeah, this is Frank Rizzo from the loading dock. I've got a delivery here for a Dr. Drakken. It says here it's some sort of doomsday device."
Drakken walked over and pressed the button to respond, "I haven't ordered any doomsday devices recently..."
"It says here it was on back order." replied the man at the front desk. "Do you want this thing or not?"
"Well it's about time then!" yelled Drakken. "Leave it outside the door, I'll come and get it."
"It's already there, genius."
"Oh, well then thank you for your prompt service." replied Drakken as he opened the door to the conference room. Finding an odd blue, red, and grey box on a dolly, he wheeled it inside.
"I wonder what device this one was? Perhaps the Megatronic laser..." muttered Drakken as he went to try an open the box. Unfortunately the box unfolded itself and fist shot out from the inside that sent the blue mad scientist flying across the room where he landed on his ass in front of his hostages.
"Give it up Dr. Drakken!" announced Naruto as he revealed him self in his modified autobox gear. His voice had a robotic edge to it, courtesy of small device attached to his ear.
"Who are you!" shouted Drakken as he angrily staggered to his feet.
"I am Boximus Prime! Leader of the Autoboxes and I'm shutting you down!" declared Naruto. "Wait, a minute? Where's Shego?"
"On vacation! Now tell me, who are you working for? It must be Dementor! Only he would send some sort of Box-robot to humiliate me in this fashion!" ranted Dr. Drakken. "Bebes! Destroy him!"
"You''ll have to catch me first!" declared Naruto as he dropped a smoke bomb.
Once the smoke cleared a regular cardboard box was in his place.
"Not going to fool them that easily! Bebes Attack!" commanded Drakken.
The three robots shot forward and punched the box, only for it to turn out to be a regular box.
"Damn you, transforming robot box man!" cursed Drakken.
"That's Boximus Prime, jackass!" yelled Naruto as he swung down from the ceiling using his grappling gun and kicked two of the Bebe's into each other. The third was not caught off guard, and she extended her arm out to cut his grappling rope, sending him flying into a stack of folding tables and folding chairs. As the Bebes went to apprehend him, Naruto executed a little more trickery with boxes and ditched his box gear to get the Bebes entangled up in a curtain.
"Cannot find target!" repeated the Bebes as the tried to untangle themselves.
"Forget Prime! Get the Buffoon!" shouted Drakken, him also being fooled by the switch. "If he's here then, Possible is near!"
With Naruto occupying the Bebes and Dr. Drakken, Kim and James sneaked in to free the other scientists. The scientists were all getting kick out of Naruto's performance, "Man Box Robot! Nice!"
"Focus, people!" reminded Kim. "We need to shut this thing down!"
"Yeah, the only way to shut it down is with its remote." informed Wade after she scanned the energy barrier with the Kimmunicator.
Drakken finally turned around and was startled by the sight before him.
"Kim Possible! Dr. Possible! Wait a minute, how are there two Dr. Possibles!" yelled Drakken.
"Oh, that's easy enough to explain." replied James inside the containment unit as his image flickered and changed to Wade.
"A hologram! Impossible!" exclaimed Dr. Drakken.
"You're robots were easily fooled by my superior technology." stated Wade. "If an actual human had done the job, they wouldn't have been fooled."
"Grah! I purposely programmed the Bebes with a pinch of Human emotion just so they would be ashamed of failure like this! It's slipshot is what it is!" ranted Drakken.
The Bebe's froze in their battle with Naruto, "Slipshot?"
"That's right ladies!" retorted Drakken. "And I demand better from my robotic lackeys! You're supposed to be superior to the human ones! I designed you to be perfect in every way! Your sole purpose is to obey me!"
The Bebes knocked Naruto into a wall and the blond let out a groan as they blurred away from him and lined up side by side in front of Drakken, "Question: If we are perfect, why do we obey one who is not perfect? Conclusion: Drakken is unfit to lead!"
Bob rolled his eyes, "It's college all over again, that man cannot build a robot."
Holo-Wade shook his head, "Trust me, it's not just robots that he sucks at building."
Drakken stumbled backwards as the three rebellious robots slowly walked towards, "Now, now, Bebes, we can talk this out!"
"You have got to be kidding me?" muttered a face-palming Kim. She handed her Dad the Kimminicator and leaped into action. Flipping through the air she landed on the shoulders of two Bebe's as if she were doing a cheer pyramid. Knocking their heads together, she tried to kick the third, but it grabbed Kim by the ankle and chucked her across the room. She landed on her ass and slid across the floor before coming to a stop.
"DYNAMIC-" As Naruto unleashed his flying surprise attack one of the Bebe's extended her arm to trip him up in midair and send him crashing into the floor face first. "Faceplant..."
His red haired partner, picked up a microphone stand from the front of the room and attacked using it like a staff, only for it to break in half on contact with one of the Bebe's bodies. The Bebes attacked her with quick repetitive karate chops and palm thrusts. Kim used the best of her cheerleader enhanced Kung Fu skills to avoid their blows, but it was becoming clear she was outmatched.
"Got a room full of smart guys, and not one of you has a single idea?" groaned Naruto as he staggered to his feet.
Dr. Ramesh shrugged, "Sorry, Astronomer."
"Ditto." replied Dr. Chen.
Drakken scoffed at the notion of helping, "Every man, woman, and robot for himself."
"Wade, can you plug the Kimminucator into the Wireless network the Bebes are connected too?" questioned Dr. Possible.
Wade typed away at his computer, "Yes, Drakken forgot secure it. Give me a few seconds...I'm in!"
"Good! Now, just a minute here..." Dr. Possible punched away at the buttons on the Kimmunicator, and 'Domo Arigato Mr. Robot'' began to play from it as he worked.
"Dad, this is no time to play music!" shouted Kim.
"Actual, it's the perfect time." replied James. "Downloading this song over a couple hundred billion times will cause too much traffic and eat up the memory of both the Bebes and the command network. It's going to crash it just like a normal computer does when you try to do too many things at once. Not to mention the little snippet of code I added with a buffer override just for kicks!"
The Bebes all froze and started vibrating for a moment before suddenly going into a rendition of the robot as 'Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto' played through their voice consoles.
"Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto? Really? That's the best you can do?" muttered a face-palming Naruto. "Rufus, hit me!"
With a yawn, the hairless rodent hopped out of Dr. Possible's pocket and scampered up his arm to type away at the Kimmunicator. The Bebes responded to his changes as they paused and started vibrating again as the song changed to Kenny Loggins' classic CaddyShack anthem, 'I'm Alright', complete with the gopher dance, "I'm alright! And nobody worry 'bout me! Why you go to gimme a fight, can't you just let it be? I'm alright! Don't nobody..."
Rufus couldn't help himself as he started dancing as well to his favorite song from his favorite movie.
Dr. Ramesh and Dr. Chen couldn't help but start laughing as they high fived, "Caddyshack! Classic!"
With a pair of kicks courtesy of Naruto and Kim, the three dancing Bebes all crashed into each other and tore each other apart with their jerky movements before exploding and sending robot body parts everywhere.
Naruto gave James a thumbs up, "Nice idea, Dr. P!"
"Yeah, way to go Dad!" added Kim.
Drakken tried to discretely sneak away, but he banged his foot on a Bebe leg. As he hopped up and down from the pain, Kim and Naruto appeared in front of him.
"What about your big college reunion, Drew?" Kim couldn't help the smug look that formed on her face at the knowledge of his real name.
Naruto let out a snort of amusement, "Yeah, going to miss out on the big shindig Lipshitz?"
"It's Lipsky!" yelled Dr. Drakken. "I mean..it's Dr. Drakken! And, i'll return to the next reunion when I've taken over the world! Mwahahaha!"
Pulling a remote out of his pocket, he pressed a button and a hidden jet-pack activated and sent him flying up, right into the ceiling.
"Damn you, Possibles! You think your family is all that, but it's not!" yelled Drakken with his body stuck halfway in the ceiling. "Little help here!"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
It was Saturday night and the Possible and Stoppable families found themselves and the Middleton Bowl on Karaoke night for some family fun. Well, what the parents considered to be family fun away.
"Just waiting on Naruto, now." said Mai as she looked at the clock.
Kim scoffed, "He's probably not coming. He'll call at the last minute saying he's going out with Hope instead."
"I still can't believe that Drew Lipsky of all people turned out to be a mad scientist." exclaimed DJ Stoppable.
"And the arch foe of our Kids no less." added James. "Poor Drew, maybe if we hadn't laugh at him back then, there would be one less mad scientist running around."
DJ started laughing at the thought of it, "I know but the way you told the story, plus Bob's pictures of him with them, it was just too funny!"
"I didn't even know the guy before he turned evil and I couldn't stop laughing for two days when you told that story." added Mai.
"Why don't you head up, hon!" suggested Anne as she noticed that Kim was still sulking out of the corner of her eye. "Get us started off, I'm sure Naruto will be here any minute."
"Yeah, whatever." muttered Kim as she made her way up to the small stage. Grabbing a microphone, she turned to check out what song was next. She let out a snort of annoyance when she found it was Simple Minds, 'Don't You forget about Me'.
The music began and just as Kim was about start singing, Naruto walked out from behind the curtains to the front of the stage, cutting her off,
"Hey, hey, hey, heeeey! Ooo-ooo-ooooh!
Won't you come see about me? I'll-"
Kim hip checked him to the side taking over, "I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby."
Naruto tried to retake the lead, "Don't you forget about me-"
Kim cut in again, "-forget about me! I'll put us back together at heart baby!"
For moment they sang together, "Don't you forget about me..."
"Don't, don't, don't, don't -" And then at each don't they tried to shove each other out the way to claim the spotlight.
Naruto took the lead again, "Don't you..."
But it wasn't for long, "Forget about me!"
Taking a few steps back, Naruto suddenly slide to the left front of the stage on his knees, ripping his buttoned shirt open, "But you walk on byyyy-yyyy..."
Kim mimicked him sliding to the right front of the stage and undoing her ponytail to make let her hair flow freely, "Will you call my name!"
"No, no!" sang Naruto.
"Yee-aah!" sang Kim.
They stood up and finally starting singing together, "I say, La! Lalala! Lalalalala! Lalalala..."
Not even looking back at each other, the sung with a smile and gave each other a fist bump. And all was good again, especially for Jim and Tim who simply couldn't stop laughing at how stupid they looked.
That last little scene was an homage to the hilarious Psych Promo playing on TV right now. I can't wait till that returns. The chapter was just full of jokes, one of the funniest things I've written in a while. Don't just read, laugh and review! Review with a laugh if you have to!
