The Oh So Glorious Disclaimer: I don't own KP :)
Hello! :) Yes! This school years finished! It means vacation time :D
*pouring confetti all over the house*
But... It's only a week-long time out. Damn, my school never takes a long break. I guess that's one of the downsides on becoming an engineer, right?... No?... Damn.
Anyways, I would like to give thanks to all who continued to support this story. You guys are the reason why I continue to write. :D
And I want to say sorry for the Guest. :)
Now, let's get this story hit the road. My name's kmtdiccion and here's the continuation of...
You're The Best Thing I Never Knew I Needed
12. Chapter XI: "Introducing Synthodrone Number 901-B"
"Wow. This place is quite good. Hmm... Probably move my Karaoke nights here." Drakken thought when he reached the destination.
A tall building stood straight in the center of an island. The name of the establishment's 'Bermuda Triangle'. The evil scientist and his sidekick went inside and walked towards a large room. When the doors opened automatically, they saw a large ballroom finely decorated with expensive ornaments. The table cloths were stitched to perfection. The velvet cushion on the seats gave the people sitting on it undeniable pleasure. At the center was a platform with a piano. A woman clad in an expensive gown, is sitting on the piano, singing.
"Alright, Shego. I'm off the grill here. This common criminal, what's his name again?" Dr. Drakken asked while stepping down the stairs inside an elegant bar.
"Big Daddy Brotherson. But you should know..." Shego replied.
"Please," Drakken cut her off, "I'm a super genius. I think I can handle Big Daddy".
"Suure." Shego mocked in her head.
The green villainess took a seat while Drakken went inside a private room.

Somewhere in Japan
"Master?" A boy in a black mission gi gasped.
Fukushima was busy training in a forest somewhere in Japan when he was disturbed by his visitor. A man hopped off the copter and went near him. He replied "Yes, son. I have returned."
"B-But why?" He asked.
The half-man, half-monkey then took a fallen bamboo stick, observed it, and replied "To have revenge from that young Stoppable. And I have a little plan to pull that one off. Come, my student. You want to have some payback from him, don't you?"
"I do. But how are we going to..."
"Patience, young one. I'll show you what we will do. For the meantime, hop inside the helicopter."
One black helicopter hovered above them. The monkey minion threw the rope ladder towards them. Monkey Fist anchored himself to it while offering the shocked ex-Yamanouchi student a hand. Fukushima then caught his hand, latched himself at the ladder while the copter took off.
"Look's like we'll meet again, outsider." Fukushima snickered in his thought.

The 'Bermuda Triangle'...
The room was full of aquariums. Inside it were exotic animals like hammerhead sharks, piranhas, and Big Daddy's favorite: The giant squid. The info merchant was sitting on a big bean bag chair. He also has an aide standing beside him. Dr. Drakken went near him and started "Big Daddy, I'm Dr. Drakken. I'm here..."
The man sitting cut him off and asked "Uh uh uh. The password?"
The blue skinned scientist blinked and asked "Password? What password."
Big Daddy Brotherson's man went behind the scientist. He grabbed and threw him out of the room.
"AAAHHH!" He screeched.
He landed on the table Shego is, taking the glass of juice she ordered. She went near his ear and smirked "Didn't tell the password?"
Drakken went off the table then angrily replied "You didn't mention anything about the password!"
"Thought a genius like you would figure it out." She mocked.
"Shego, I am not a particularly patient man."
The lippy henchwoman groaned as she thought "Drakken's trying to sound evil again." She went hear him and whispered
"Okay, you wet blanket. The password is..."

Middleton High
"Okay. Class dismissed."
The whole class then stood up, packing their things inside their bags. This was their last class, meaning that school's over for today. Everyone was happy except for one blonde boy. After lunch time, Ron was furiously thinking about his plan for this afternoon. He constantly blames himself for diving into deeper trouble.
"What have I done?! When I come out of this school, I'll be so so so dead. They'll kill me!" Ron's mind cried.
He lousily took his book and placed it inside his bag. He greeted goodbye to the teacher then went outside. Every step he made, his heart beats a bit faster. His worries increased exponentially. Sweat starts to form on his forehead. His legs were starting to shake. He even began to bite his nails. Rufus, his pet, climbed outside then squeaked "Something wrong?"
He faintly smiled and replied "N-Nothing Rufus."
The mole rat stared at him, giving him the 'Don't lie to me' face.
"N-Nothing's wrong, Rufus! Everything's fine."
Then, a thought popped inside his head. A plan suddenly formulated inside. A huge grin formed in his face, starting to look a bit creepy. Rufus them muttered "Definitely not fine."
"What if... What if I'll join them all? I'll join all four of them. First, we'll walk Tara to her house then I'll treat the three at Bueno Nacho. After we eat, I'll tour Yori around Middleton and at night, I'll go to Bonnie's house for the project. That's it! You're a genius, Ron! That's..."
"That's the stupidest plan I've ever heard, Ronald!" His conscience barked
"No it isn't... Uhh, what's your name?"
"Doesn't matter. You do know what you're doing, huh?"
"Come on! I'm just trying to..."
"No, Ron. You're just digging your own grave. How could you..."
"Hey, I can't help it! They were kissing me. I'm still a boy, you know? Beautiful girls like that can make me go in a hormonal..."
His argument with his other self was abruptly cut off when a booming voice rocked "STOOOOPABLE!"
He literally jumped then turned his head around. He went pale when he recognized the brown coat, gray polo, and black tie. The Vice Principal went near him and then boomed "Stoppable. My Office. Now!"
"Yes, sir!" He squeaked as he scurried towards his office. While he was entering the room frantically, his conscience laughed:
"Wow. I can't believe I'm saying this. But, thank you Mr. B. for saving me... err... I mean us. Me and Ron... Well, technically we're one. So... Oh forget it! i just want to say thank you, sir."

Middleton High. Earlier...
"Hmm... Where's Ron?" Zita softly asked.
The Latin teen was standing beside the bulletin board. She was feeling a bit giddy, but nothing's gonna change that. She's excited to meet him again. After the so-called 'Everlot tournament', their relationship didn't blossom. Their schedule were always conflicting. That's why they can't hang out. Add the fact that she fell in love to a jock named Mark. But they didn't even made past three months. And to make things worse, she started to use illegal drugs. She was broken and a nobody at that time until...
Flashback:
"Z-Zita? Is that you?"
She raised her head and saw the concerned face of Ron. She croaked "R-Ron?"
"Zita!" Ron hugged her then added "What's wrong? Are you hurt or something?"
The black-haired teen was shocked for a moment. Here she sat, with a boy hugging her, trying to take her pain away. And before she cried helplessly on his shoulder, she murmured "R-Ron.. I-I'm..."
Ron rubbed her back as he tried to comfort her. She, meanwhile, sobbed, bearing her badly beaten heart open to him. While tears streamed on her cheeks, she said "R-Ron. Please. D-Don't. I-I'm a nobody. Mark broke up with me. I'm also a teen junkie. It'll be better if I kill my..."
The blonde boy suddenly butted in "No, Zita! You're not a nobody. Don't be harsh to yourself!"
"B-But Ron..."
"No 'but's', Z. Come on, now. You can still change for the better. Don't give up. You know, if you kill yourself, you'll probably wasting a lot. Look at you. I mean, you're still beautiful. You're kind and thoughtful. Sure, you have the obsession for video games, but you were sure a hard worker to pay all of them. See, Zita, don't waste it. Others may see you as a nobody, there will be others that will treat you right. Even if it was only me."
Zita glanced a Ron. She gasped when she saw Ron in a totally new dimension. It was like he reassembled himself, giving off a totally new look. Zita was in awe that she hugged Ron again. This time, she's happy. She happily cried "T-Thanks Ron! Thanks for comforting me. You rock."
Ron smiled back and flashed his goofy grin, replying "No big."
End of flashback.
Some tears strolled on her cheeks when she reminisced that moment. Ever since their talk, She tried, and succeeded, to change herself for the better. She went to rehab to clear the toxic drugs from her body. And from that time, her feelings for the freckled boy grown deeper. Zita sighed with a smile on her face as she thought his name:
"Ron."
She then looked around the hall when she saw a tall blonde girl standing on the other side. Zita waved her hands and greeted "Hello Tara!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tara went outside when her art class was dismissed earlier than expected. The platinum blonde was ecstatic towards her and Ron's 'walk'. She actually daydreamed about that inside the room. Tara then started to walk towards the front hall, the place where they will meet. As she tread the stairs, her thoughts were focused on Kim. She was still disappointed of treating Ron like he was trash. She then muttered:
"Trash? Huh! That 'trash' is the one I cherished the most."
After a few minutes, she reached her destination. She stood beside the lockers, looking on both sides to see any sign of the freckled blonde. The first few minutes of waiting was proved to be unbearable. Her brain was constantly working hard, trying to think of anything to kill the boredom.
"Hmm... Since my class was dismissed early, I guess I have to wait for him." She mused/
And not long after, a voice called her "Hello Tara!"
The platinum cheerleader turned her head an saw the Latina waving at her. She then greeted back "Hey Zita! Long time no see."
Tara walked near her, hoping that a little 'girl talk' would relieve her anxieties when she'll meet her 'Ronnie-poo'. Zita hugged her then replied "It's been a bit boring. But, hey, at least I'm feeling better than ever."
"Good for you." Tara said "It's good for you to be back again after Mark."
"Yeah. Let's say someone made me realize he's not worthy of my tears."
"Ooh!" Tara squealed "Looks like someone founds his 'Mr. Romantic', huh?"
"You got that one right. So, how's your life?"
Tara blushed when she answered "Well... I can say that these days were super!"
"Hmm... So, you also found your Mr. Romantic, huh?" Zita grinned.
"Well..." Tara tried to answer but her shyness overpowers her.
The Latina laughed at the sight of Tara, blushing to a beet red like a tomato.

Yori, meanwhile, was preparing her things while she exited the registrar's office. She submitted the required papers like the academic equivalence test results, birth certificates, and the likes for record. The ninja sighed and smiled since everything she worked hard to get has finally paid off. She bid to the person in front of her goodbye and politely exited the quarter. She went near the directory and started walking towards the cafeteria.
"Since I finished early, I might as well stay inside the canteen until Stoppable-san shows up." Yori thought.
The black haired teen opened the door, ordered her food, and munch on it as she waits the time where the school days end. And after that time, she'll enjoy the tour her Monkey Master will give. She smiled at that thought before taking another bite.
On the other side, Bonnie was retouching her make-up. Her mind was still in shock when their history teacher paired her with Ron. She even heard a few whispers, saying that they feel sorry for her. Bonnie chuckled and said to herself:
"Sorry? As if. This is my chance! I will try to make up to him."
And after nearly half an hour since she entered the comfort room, Bonnie finally went outside and walked towards her next class. She's feeling a bit confident that their meeting later would be the start of a relationship that was once shared in the past. A friendship that somehow she wish that it will turn out to be something more.
And as the clock ticks near, the four girls' minds were thinking about the same thought:
"Ron." -Bonnie
"Where." -Zita
"Are." -Tara
"You?" -Yori
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Earlier (Before Ron leaves his class; Probably 3:52 PM)...
Zita and Tara was chatting happily along the side of the hallway. They were recently talking about some girly problems until a manly voice boomed. "King! Flores!"
The two girls were startled, halting to anything that they wanted to say to each other. The two teens looked towards the towering man and saw their Vice Principal. They greeted in unison "Hello, Mr. Barkin."
Mr. Barkin furrowed his brows and asked "Have you two seen Stoppable?"
"No sir." They answered.
"Okay. If you ever saw him, tell him that I need him in my office, are we clear?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good."
Barkin left the premises, searching for Ron. Meanwhile, Zita and Tara sighed, thinking that their 'plans' for the blonde boy were postponed. Disappointment was evident on their faces. Though they didn't saw their expression after Mr. Barkin left, the two felt a weird feeling that they didn't understand. Zita and Tara tried to analyze it but they found nothing. After that feeling wore off, Zita faced the blonde cheerleader and said "Well... I g-gotta go. Bye."
Tara replied after a long pause"Uh... Bye. See you next time."
The Latina nodded then walked out of the school. Tara sighed and muttered "Thanks a lot, Mr. B."
She stood there for a while, thinking about her daydreams that was rudely 'postponed', then also went out of the building.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The news was caught easily by the other two teens. Yori was at one side of the hallway perpendicular to where Tara and Zita is when she heard the Vice-Principal's quest of searching Ron. The teen ninja sighed as she frowned on the sudden event. Yori has no choice but to go home, probably train with Master Miromata. And before she leaves the institution, she wished
"I hope nothing unfortunate will happen to Stoppable-san."
Bonnie, on the other hand, left her room when she heard Barkin telling Ron that he's needed in his office. This caused the Queen B to steam in anger. Her plan was ruined because of Barkin. Bonnie's breath became colder that it almost sound like a growl. Students around her saw her face become darker and thought that it is best to leave her behind.
A freshman saw the Queen B and decided to hit on her. The boy didn't saw her angry expression so he never knew that she's angry. When he tapped her shoulder, he smiled "Hey there. Would you mind if you hang o-"
He stopped when he saw the menacing glare that she threw at him. He went even paler when Bonnie began to rant "Don't you touch me! How dare you to hit on me? I will never, over my dead body, go out with you! You're such a loser that you even make your mattress soaked with your piss."
She grabbed him by the collar and added "Also, don't talk to me. ESPECIALLY when I'm angry like this. Are we clear?"
The boy merely nodded.
Bonnie took off her grasp and walked out. And withing the student body, a news appeared on the gossip scene
"A social weather forecast: Students in Middleton High is advised that don't go near five feet from the raging new storm, named Hurricane Bonnie. I repeat. Don't go near five feet from Hurricane Bonnie."

Possible residence
"Mom! Dad! I'm home. I'll go upstairs to prepare. Jon's coming to fetch me at 7." Kim shouted after opening the door. She was feeling excited for her upcoming date with Jonathan. Her school today was also better than expected. Monique was totally floored when Kim shared what happened that night. The black beauty kept asking her like 'Is he really that good?', 'How's it feel?', and 'Is there a Round 2?'.
The young teen was about to go upstairs when her father called "Kimmie-cub! Come here in the den for a second."
Kim obliged. She went to the living room and saw her parents sitting at the chairs. Dr. Anne Possible said "Kimmie, take a seat."
After she sat, her mother began "Kimmie, for the past few days I observed that you act a bit... different. Now, honey, is there something wrong?"
"N-No. Nothing's wrong, mom." The younger redhead lied.
"Kim, please don't lie to me. I know you some trouble. I only don't know what. Now tell me, Kim. What's wrong?"
Kim stared at her mother. She was horrified from the fact that she knew something's up. She looked at her dad and saw his eyes, waiting expectantly for her answer. She glanced back at her mother, took a big sigh, and muttered "Ron."
"What's that, Kim?" her mother asked.
Kim faced her and replied "It's about Ron."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The 'Bermuda Triangle'...
The blue skinned scientist went back to the room. He was still baffled since Shego whispered the password. The aide stood on his way, blocking the scientist from getting closer to him. He then asked without any emotion "Password."
"Meaner." Drakken replied.
The muscular guy gave way for him to talk to his boss. He sat down, took his cash and said "I have the cash. Now, you have the information?"
Big Daddy took out a piece of folded paper and replied "Put the money on the table."
"Put the information on the table."
"No, you go first."
Drakken was fuming at first. But, he regained his composure. He thought that this guy's want to have a little game. He then smiled and replied before putting the money on top of the table "So, if you want to play a game, I'll give you one."
The big man smiled drowsily as he, too, put the paper on the table. The two stared at each other, trying to calculate their next move. Dr. Drakken's eyes were twitching while Big Daddy's calmly stared. Neither took anything for a moment until the blue megalomaniac swiftly snatched the paper. He exclaimed in triumph:
"Aha! Now with this top secret code."
He unfolded the paper and read loudly the words listed. His voice turned from happy to confused "Milk... Bread... Eggs?... What kind of code is that?"
Big Daddy laughed and answered "My grocery list. You were quite poor in the trading game."
Drakken saw him snickering in his failure. He then angrily shouted "Grr... Shego!"
The big man smiled and said "Very well... I have my fun."
"I'm glad that you have your fun. Now, where could I find the cybertronic technology I need?"
"Hmm.. Cybertronics. Some of the most brilliant minds of the planet struck on it's gem."
"Well, sure someone has cracked it!"
"Indeed. One genius has just done that."
Brotherson motioned Drakken to come near him. He followed. Big Daddy then whispered "Dr. James Timothy Possible."
Dr Drakken blinked a few times until he responed "Ooh. Irony. And it's in my favor this time. Thank you Mr. Brotherson."
The blue scientist whisked out the door and went to to the door. He waved his hand to Shego, saying that it's time for them to go. They went outside, hopped into their hovercar and flew away.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At a parking lot near Middleton High
"You sure about that?" Jonathan asked while inside the car.
"Yes. Currently, he's inside Mr. Barkin's office." his informant said.
"Okay. Here." He brought out an envelope full of money and handed it to the man. The informant thanked him and walked away. Meanwhile, inside Jonathan's car, a sinister smile crept on his face. The little information he learned gave him an idea that would totally help him to have revenge to the whole Possible clan. And to do that, his plan for destroying Kim Possible would have some... 'minor' changes.
"Well well well! Look's like Ron Stoppable's feeling down. And it's all because of his best friend. Aww, it's sad." His mind mocked.
Jonathan started the engines and drove his car. The brunette boy was having a wonderful week. He reunited with his father, Kim Possible was sinking on his plan deeper, and that dumb sidekick of hers is nowhere near Kimmie to save her when crap hits the fan.
The only thing that's needed is adding some changes to the synthodrone. So, he took his phone and called his father. "Dad?"
"Yes, Jon?"
"You know, I've just learned something about Ron Stoppable."
"Who's that?"
"Sigh. That's Kim Possible's sidekick."
"Oh! That buffoon."
"Yes. So, I think we need to change some of our plans."
"Uhm... What?"
"I need to change Eric."
"Synthodrone 901? Why? Isn't it perfect?"
"Well, I have a new plan for him. Much better plan."
"Ngh... Okay. So what do you want to change on Syntho 901?"
"Dad, I want him to be... Erika."
A/N's: wooh! Saved by the bell. Thank's Mr. B!
Anyways... What will happen to 'Eric'? Why would Jon need him to be 'Erika'?
Hmm... Here's the UD! Hope you enjoy :)
Note: I think most of you were misguided by my question. What I meant on 'Changes may occur' was the first date, not the pairing of the story. I'm sorry that I have miswritten what I want to say. :D
'Til next time!
