Chapter 21
"Quick! Get in the closet!" said Kim, as she shoved Drakken into her closet and shut the door.
"But I thought you said your parents are harmless", said Drakken, as he sat naked in her closet.
Kim rapidly put on her clothes and said, "Well, they are usually harmless. But some things could push them over the edge, like, say, finding a naked supervillain in my bed."
"You've got a point", said Drakken from inside the closet.
"Shhh", said Kim as she sat at her desk, pretending to do her math homework. Footsteps echoed up the stairs leading to Kim's room. Kim's mom walked in, holding a shopping bag.
"Hey, Mom", said Kim.
"Oh, I see you finally got unstuck from that Drakken fellow", said Mrs. Dr. Possible, "Where is he now?"
"Oh, he went home", said Kim, "Back to his evil lair."
"Then why is his flying hovercraft still parked outside your window?" asked Mrs. Possible.
"Umm...He must have forgotten it", said Kim.
"Looks like he forgot his clothes too", said Mrs. Possible as she glanced down at the labcoat and tuxedo on the floor.
Kim blushed nervously and said, "Oh... umm.. well, he's wearing something different, to hide out from the police. Mom, don't you have a surgery you're supposed to perform this afternoon?"
"Oh, that was cancelled, so I went shopping. And guess what I got you? Isn't this the cutest thing?" said Mrs. Dr. Possible, as she held up a brand new pink shirt.
"Thanks Mom", said Kim, "I love it! I really need to finish my math homework now though. Can I get back to my books?"
"Ok, I'll leave in a minute. Let me just hang up the new shirt in your closet", said Mrs. Dr. Possible.
Kim gasped and ran in front of her closet, blocking her mother.
"No! No need to hang it up right away. I think I'd like to try the shirt on right now", said Kim, grabbing the shirt from her mother.
"Is something wrong, Kimmie? You seem flustered and nervous," asked Kim's mom.
"No, nothing! I'm just great! Love the shirt! Let me try it on now", said Kim.
"Ok... Well, let me know if it fits", said Kim's mom as she stepped out of the room.
Once Kim heard her mom was all the way downstairs, she slid open the closet door. It took all of Kim's effort to keep from laughing at the sight before her.
"Umm.. What are you wearing?" whispered Kim.
"Well, I thought your mother was going to open the closet, and I couldn't very well let her see me naked. So I put on the first piece of clothing I could grab", said Drakken as he stood in the closet wearing a formal dress. It was Kim's light blue dress she had worn to her junior prom a year earlier. The fabric stretched tightly on Drakken, and he felt like he could hardly breathe in it.
"That has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen", said Kim.
She was snickering, and tried to keep from laughing out loud. Drakken pulled off the dress, and put on his labcoat.
"I'd better get back to the lair before your parents find out I'm still here. Come with me?" asked Drakken.
"You know I can't. I have school, and cheerleading", said Kim, "But I'll visit you soon. I promise."
With a kiss, Drakken leapt out the window into his hovercraft, and flew off into the sky. He waved to Kim, and was already looking forward to when he would see her again.
A few weeks passed and Kim was really missing Drakken. Even though she secretly talked to him over her kimmunicator every night, she wanted to see him again in person. It seemed her schedule was against her all the time though. Whenever she thought she would have a chance to see Drakken again, something would come up and distract her- a mission to save the world, an exam to study for, or cheerleading practice. She felt worn out from her hectic schedule, and longed to relax in Drakken's arms for a romantic weekend on his island. Finally, it was a Saturday, with no homework and no missions planned. She smiled as she woke up, knowing that she would have a chance to fly to Drakken's Caribbean lair and spend the whole day with him.
Suddenly, she leaned over and felt sick. Hunching over her trash can, Kim threw up.
"No... not now. I can't be sick today!" said Kim in frustration, "Today's the day I'm supposed to go see Drakken."
She sighed and pulled out her kimmunicator. She was about to call Drakken and cancel, but then another thought came to her mind. Wade was a supergenious. Maybe he could scan her, and see if it was just something she ate that made her throw up. If she didn't have the flu, she wouldn't have to miss seeing Drakken.
"Hey Wade, I just threw up", said Kim.
"Eww... Not the first thing I want to hear when I wake up in the morning", replied Wade with a face of disgust.
"I know, I know. Just scan me and tell me if I ate something bad, or if it's a virus. You can do that, right?" asked Kim.
"Sure", said Wade, typing on his keyboard. He grabbed a print-out detailing Kim's condition, then opened his eyes wide in shock.
"Oh no. Please tell me it's not some deadly rare disease!" said Kim as she looked at Wade's shocked face.
"Uh Kim... You're pregnant", said Wade.
