SPOILERS: Leader of the Whack


When Kim came downstairs the next day, she found Ethan working out and Hayley watching him with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Ethan, are you sure you feel okay?"

"Oh yeah! I'm pumped and ready to rock." Just then, Connor came in looking very much the studious nerd.

Kim had to giggle at seeing Connor with glasses on and carrying a big stack of books.

"Good morning all. The weather is particularly pleasant today with excessively low humidity."

"Whatever, bro. How do my arms look? Am I ripped or what?"

'I still can't get over how funny it is to hear Connor's words in Ethan's voice and vice versa. It's almost scary.' Kim could almost visualize Tommy's shudders when he said that.

"Good morning, Kira," Connor said. Hayley and Kim turned to see Kira --- IN A DRESS. Kim quickly relayed the image to Tommy.

'I wish I had my camera handy to take pictures of all of this. They'll never believe it when they snap out of it.' Tommy was chuckling.

"Hello," Kira started, coming down the stairs the rest of the way. "Sorry I'm late. There was a sale and well, you understand."

"A sale?" Kim asked, her old self coming to the forefront for a moment. "Where? And where did you get that dress? It's – it's"

"It's what, Kimberly?" Kira asked.

"It's adorable, Kira. But the headband is just a bit outdated." Kim was trying to be nice but she had to admit, Kira looked like she had just walked out of a 1960's ad for some kind of kitchen appliance.

"Hey, you guys think I'm ready for the Iron Man competition?" Ethan asked, still doing curls with Connor's weights.

"Okay. There were definitely side effects from you being exposed to the meteor. We need to destroy that rock and get you guys back to normal."

"But Hayley, what if that rock is the key to freeing Tommy from the amber?" Kim asked as the kids watched her. She looked over at Tommy.

"We need the team back to normal. Kimberly, I want to free Tommy as much as anyone but we need these guys normal again."

Ethan just looked at Hayley as if he didn't understand what she was saying. Connor thought for a moment then said, "Side effects. I find that highly improbable."

"Yeah," chimed in Ethan. "I feel like I could kick Mesogog's butt all by myself."

'There's something definitely weird going on here.'

'Tell me about it. Kira's a younger me but without the great fashion sense.'

'Kim, focus here. We need to find out what that rock did to the team and we need to reverse it quickly.'

'Tommy, maybe I should go check it out. I promise I'll be careful.'

'Since you promised, okay. But don't do anything foolish, beautiful. Remember, I can't help if anything happens to you right now.'

'I promised. I won't do anything foolish.'

Just then an alarm went off. "That's going to have to wait. Look who's back," Hayley said after looking at the screen and then back at the teens.

As the teens were changing to go fight the monster, Kim slipped out of the lair and ran into the woods to find the rock.


"There you are." Kim said as she walked into the clearing the rock had created when it landed. "Now let's see if I can get a piece of this thing back to Hayley for a closer look."

Kim's feet went out from under her and she found herself sliding down the slope into the crater with no way to stop.
