The Curse of Camp WannaWeep

The camp was always cursed, but why was it cursed in the first place? This is that story.

AN: This part of the story borrows somewhat from my Ron's Halloween story. If you're curious, you can go read it. I am also rewriting American history somewhat for this chapter. I ask forgiveness for any offense taken by the names used. Any weird inconsistencies are due to lack of history knowledge.

Chapter 11: Past!

(Middleton: Possible Home)

Mrs. Possible shouts, "Kim Possible! Where are you?"

Kim leaps down from the top of the barn to land in front of her and says, "I'm right here Mother!"

Mrs. Possible cries out in surprise and then after a few moments she sighs and says, "Honestly Kim! Do you have to scare me like that?"

Kim tilts her head and says, "You knew I was working in the barn. How could I surprise you so much?"

Mrs. Possible says, "Honestly! I think sometimes you are as clueless as your father."

Kim smiles as she says, "I am glad that I got the rest from you then."

Mrs. Possible smiles and says, "Don't you think that is going to work young lady! I've got to go to the City Council for more funding for the new hospital that I'm trying to get started for Middleton."

Kim says, "You'll get it. Remember the motto you told me…" Before they both say it at the same time, "Anything is possible for a Possible!"

Mrs. Possible says, "Yes, I know. I was the one you taught it to you, remember?"

Kim nods and says, "When will I get to meet the guy who told you about it? He is the reason that you came out here to Middleton isn't it?"

Mrs. Possible says, "I don't know. Lord knows I've looked for him." She shakes her head and says, "Anyway, it doesn't matter. I have started a new life because of him and I'm very happy for it. Even if he did show up, I would just thank him and hope that he's proud of the way I've turned my life around since the last time we met."

Kim grins at her mother and says, "Mother, I think I can say without being boastful that everyone in Middleton is pretty impressed with all that you've done since arriving in town. You turned a barely existing town into one of the best in the tri-city area!"

Mrs. Possible sighs and says, "Well, I just hope the City Council members are as appreciative as you are or there might never be anyplace for the sick in this town."

Kim shakes her head, causing some straw to fall out of her auburn hair to the dirt floor of the barn before she says, "Just remind them of how sick everyone got a year ago after that winter and they'll cave easily enough. No one wants to see so many get sick like that again."

Mrs. Possible reaches out to touch her daughter's cheek as she says, "I know… you got sick too. You were one of the fortunate ones."

Kim looks down and says, "I know… I lost some good friends in that time before the medicine could get delivered to our town. After that, I promised to make sure that such delays never happened where it could save lives."

Mrs. Possible smiles and says, "And you've done well in keeping that promise. You've made your father and I so very proud of you."

Kim smiles at her mother and then gives her a big, quick hug before she says, "Thank you Mother."

Mrs. Possible smiles back at her daughter whose red hair with the soft brown streaks in it that she got from her husband, a husband that didn't mind taking her family name so she could keep the Possible name. The name meant so very much to her and while she hadn't meant to, she had lied some to her daughter.

Mrs. Possible, once known as Katherine Wynne Adabelle now lived her life as Katherine Wynne Possible. The mother of a teenage Kim Annie Possible and two twin sisters who were at the moment being watched by her dear husband.

Mrs. Possible says, "Well, just don't forget that you still have a few things to do today before your date."

Kim's eyes grow wide in shock and she says, "That's right! I totally forgot about the date!" She then bolts from the barn, leaving her mother to chuckle at her daughter.

Mrs. Possible says, "Sometimes I think she would only remember everything she has to do but the people in her life if we weren't around so much." She smiles and remembers how one year she even forgot her own birthday because she'd been so busy with doing so much.

(In the house)

Kim runs around as she thinks, "Oh my god! I can't forget my date again! John was already upset enough as it was the last two times I forgot!" She runs around, going through her closet trying to pick out something nice for her date.

Kim finally chooses a dress when she remembers that she still had one last chore to do before she could go. She sighs and says, "I really need something to organize my life!" and flies down the stairs of the Possible household until she reaches the kitchen where she finds her father and twin sisters, or "twisters" as she liked call them because they were like little tornadoes when they wanted to be. They were capable of embarrassing her and causing general mayhem whenever possible.

She looks at the dishes in the sink and knows that wasn't how many there were before she went out to the barn. She turns and glares at them while they smile innocently in stereo, "Did you fill the sink with more dishes?"

Her father looks up from the paper and says, "Hm? Oh, your sisters said they were so hungry and there's plenty of time before supper so I let them make something."

Kim growls as she closes her eyes before turning back to the sink, which was full of dirty plates and silverware. She rolls up her sleeves and thinks, "I hope John appreciates what I go through for him sometimes!" before she starts to tackle the job of doing the mountain of dishes.

Kim manages to get the dishes done quickly enough before she runs upstairs and changes into her dress. She smoothes out any wrinkles and such before she runs down and says, "Father! Can I get a ride into town? I have a date with John and I don't want to be late!"

Mrs. Possible says, "I'll take you hon, I'm heading in to see the City Council anyway."

Kim smiles and says, "Thank you! I owe you one!" She runs out as quickly as she can in her long dress and climbs into the carriage waiting for her mother with impatience.

Mrs. Possible climbs in and gets the horses going. They trot along the dirt road leading from their property and then turn onto an even larger dirt road until it leads to deeper in the city. She says, "Where are you two meeting?"

Kim says, "We're meeting at the Dance Barn, for our date." She smiles energetically which makes her mother smile.

Mrs. Possible thinks, "She's known John for years, I am so glad that they're dating. I think he's the only one who'd be able to deal with her energy and drive." She pulls the carriage to a stop and says, "We're here. Do you want me to pick you up later on?"

Kim shakes her head, "No, John's going to be dropping me off."

Mrs. Possible says, "Ok, then. Take care and I'll see you later. Don't stay out too late. You've got stuff to do tomorrow."

Kim says, "Ok, I won't! Thank you Mother!" She waves as the carriage begins to move again. She watches it as it goes about two blocks before turning left to disappear behind some buildings that lead to the City Council building.

Kim hears a guy's voice say, "You actually made it for change, and on time! The city must be either safe or your mother reminded you."

Kim spins around, making her dress twirl at her ankles before settling about her. She grins and says, "John! I was worried you might now show up!"

John chuckles and wraps his arms around her in a big hug and says, "KP, I would always show up. You're my best friend."

Kim smiles and gives a quick peck to his cheek before she blushes as she says, "Thank you for being so understanding."

John says, "Anytime… now how about we go on our date? I have been wanting to dance with you for some time now."

Kim takes his hand into hers and as she continues to smile, "I'd love that!"

Together, they go into a barn that had been fixed up to become a place for teenagers to go dancing and have supervised fun. Kim didn't care that it was one of the many things that her mother had lobbied for so that teens didn't have to travel so far away to find anything fun to do. It had been the place where she'd had her first date with John, and she loved going there with him.

Kim knew that the next day would have her delivering some mail to some Indians in the area which would take up half her day but for the time being, she was just happy holding her boyfriend's hand and judging from the big grin on his face, she could tell he felt the same way.

Kim and John dance to a variety of music that was provided by some of the musically talented people, happy that even one of the very rare professional musicians did some singing to one of the songs and that the song was a love song.

Kim sighs happily as she dances closely with John, snuggling against him as she dances slowly before a tall, well-built man walks up and clears his throat rather noisily. She looks up and sees the Sheriff whose name was Ade Barkin but her sisters just called him Sheriff Barking because when he spoke, it was as if he was barking an order at you and given the gruff voice he had, she had to admit that they were right.

Barkin says, "Possible! You know the rules about close contact!"

Kim sighs softly and pulls back from her boyfriend, keeping her boyfriend close by but not close enough for Barkin to find any fault.

Barkin walks off to disappear into the crowd of dancers but it isn't long before Barkin's voice is heard again as he talks to another couple dancing too closely.

John smiles at Kim and says, "It is ok Kim, as long as I can see your beautiful eyes. We're closer than Barkin could ever know."

Kim blushes but she doesn't look away from those blue-green eyes of his with tiny specks of brown in them. She can feel her heart beating strongly within her chest and a longing to be back within those arms of his so she can feel his heartbeat as well. She says, "Thank you John, I don't know what I'd do without you sometimes."

John says, "The same thing I'd do without you. Be an empty shell of a person."

Kim's hands squeeze John a little at that, knowing he was right and yet not wanting him to ever be lonely like that ever if she could help it.

John says softly, "Don't worry Kim, I'm not going anywhere… not for a long, long time." He smiles at her reassuringly which washes away her fears and leaves her with a sense of peace and happiness.

The two of them dance throughout the day until the sun finally sets, and they walk out of the Dance Barn to take in the clear vision of the stars in the sky above. Kim and John wrap their arms around each other's waist as they walk together in the cool night.

John says, "These are the times we'll always remember won't we Kim?"

Kim nods as she says, "Yes, even when we're old and gray together, we'll remember times like this." She blushes as she realizes that she'd just pictured the two of them still together as an old couple.

John smiles as he knows what Kim meant and while he could very much picture that exact scene, a scene he would be very happy with. He knew that the time wasn't right yet, they both still had some things to do before he felt ready to pop the question even though he felt that she would say "Yes" if he asked her right there and then without a ring.

John says, "Instead of riding back out to your home, do you think your family would mind if we simply walked back?"

Kim smiles warmly and shakes her head, "My father might object if we're getting in too late but I think I can put up with the consequences."

John chuckles, "I know, but I do want to date you again before we're old so how about we simply take the ride nice and slow?"

Kim leans against John a little and says, "I suppose I can deal with that." She continues to walk with him, her head leaning against his shoulder until they get to his wagon.

Together they get on the wagon and after a kiss for luck, they begin their journey together towards Kim's home.

When they get there after taking it slowly, John walks Kim up to the door and he smiles at her as he says, "Well, it looks like I got us here safe and sound right before your curfew."

Kim grins playfully before she says, "Yeah… I'm sure that'll make my father very happy."

John chuckles as he looks at Kim and says, "Do you think I can get another date with the most amazing and beautiful young woman in Middleton?"

Kim giggles and says, "I don't know if Taralyn would be happy now that she's got a boyfriend…"

John laughs and says, "Kim… you know you're the most amazing and beautiful woman in all of Middleton. No, strike that… in all the world. There's no one quite like you."

Kim deeply blushes at his words and says in a soft voice, "Aww… Thank you John. That's very sweet of you."

Kim leans forward and gives him a loving kiss on the lips and just as she pulls back, she looks into his eyes and can see her future in them. A long and loving future together, that suddenly gets interrupted when the door to the house opens up.

The twisters were there and they looked worried, which was odd because normally they would have mischievous looks on their faces whenever they caught their older sister with John.

Some alarm goes off in Kim's head and she says, "What's wrong?"

The two sisters don't say a word and dash onto the porch and each grab one of Kim's legs, looking up at her as they say in stereo, "Kim! There's been an accident!"


AN: Wow, I bet none of you saw this chapter coming! After all, what's the point of a curse without knowing both sides of the story? Did you enjoy this chapter? I hope that you liked the love in it. Looks like the more things change, the more things stay the same, huh? This particular time takes place at about the same time Pevil was doing his evil. Middleton is still in the process of growing and changing into the cool city that we all know about in the show, so it is somewhere between town and city. Any American History prof's or teachers will be welcome for future chapters.

What do you think of the way this Era's Kim was? Kind of reminds you of someone I hope. What do you think of Kim's twin sisters and their nickname? Their names are not decided yet but by the next time I use them hopefully I'll have had some name suggestions. What do you think about having Barkin in there? In Season4 it was obvious that they've been around for a long, long time. What did you think of the twister's use of his name? What do you think of the loving feeling in this story? Too lovey-dovey? What kind of accident do you think has the twins so worried?

As usual all thoughts, ideas, hints, suggestions, flowers, answer to what will happen at the end of "Countdown 43"(comics) and more will always be welcome.
