Once you got your internal screaming under control, you paused for a moment to think. This was going to be a full week, you could tell right now. There was a lot to be done, multiple monsters to hunt, and on top of everything else this week had the practical tests for Driver's Ed! Still, you had a plan!

"Alright guys," you said, "This week is mostly going to be getting ready. We're going on a hunt!"

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Let me guess, going out to the boonies to hunt the swamp thing?" You shook your head.

"Nah, much as I'd love to take Gill down, I'm pretty sure he's going to stay there for a little while. We've still got a vampire sniffing around in the sewers that needs to be taken care of. You're going with me, Barkin, Brick and Shego to do that. Got it?"

"Whatever," She scowled but didn't really resist. That was probably the best you were going to get when you were the one telling her she'd be spending time in a sewer tunnel.

"Good. We'll meet up on Wednesday to plan out how we're going to do this and then we'll do it on Thursday." Mr. Barkin scratched his chin.

"I don't think I'll have time after school on Thursday to get this done. Could you hold it off until the weekend?" You shook your head.

"Not really. I'm meeting up with my pen pal out of state thanks to someone and this is kinda the only opportunity I've got to do that. I don't know, maybe we co-" Vivian raised a hand.

"If you guys want you can use the Robot Rumble rails system to get to the hideout and back during your lunch period. The tunnels run underneath the whole Tri-City area including the school, and there's an emergency exit I had installed in the basement just in case. You could be there and back in a jiffy!" Well, that solved that problem! Now you just had to give the other assignments.

"Thanks Viv, now I want you to prep us for the Demon fight this week. You should know what we need." She gave you a nod before you turned to Tara and Josh.

"I want both of you to run info-gathering on the thief and the ghosts respectively. From what Mister B and Viv said, it's pretty clear the thief's part of the club's job, and that ghost seriously wigged me out." You caught Brick nodding along in furious agreement to that last bit. Guess he was freaked too. "Good, now I'll see you all next week!"

And then you got to worry about mundane problems for a change. Driving stuff. Yay.

The first thing you did when you got home that night was deal with Mister Masters' invite. You needed to talk the whole thing over with your parents too, they might not be one hundred percent behind the idea of you popping off to Wisconsin on short notice. Still, they let you go on missions with KP so there probably wouldn't be any problems there.

The first thing you did when you got home as ask your dad if it was OK for you to go to a stranger's house over the weekend. You probably shouldn't have phrased it that way, but so he was cool with it anyway. He was surprisingly cool about the whole thing. You'd expected him not to object, but when he heard that one of your extracurriculars had netted you a legitimate non-Kim related connection to a billionaire industrialist he was all for it. Apparently, Mister Masters was heavily involved in a lot of stuff that made actuarial work easier throughout the Midwest. Who knew?

After getting the OK from your dad for a long distance call to Wisconsin, you called the number Mister Masters had given you.

"Hello," you said as the phone connected through.

"Ah," came Vlad Masters' voice over the line, "Mister Stoppable. I take it you're calling regarding this weekend's visit?"

"Ah, yeah," you replied, "How'd you know it was me though?"

"The wonders of modern technology dear boy, Caller ID. I don't get many calls from Colorado besides those from our mutual friend. Now, will Jasmine and I be seeing you this weekend?"

"Yes sir, Mister M, I'm looking forward to it. First time I'll be in Wisconsin without having to thwart a supervillain!"

"Yes, that unfortunate business with the World's Largest Wheel of Cheese. Thank you for that by the way. If that malcontent Drakken had his way my entire home state would have been buried in molten hot lava!"

"S'no big Mister M, all part of the job. So, how're we doing this?"

"Do not worry dear boy, I'll send a car to escort you from school on Friday. The chauffeur will pick up your luggage beforehand, simply have your things ready before you leave for school that day. The car will take you to the airport, where my private jet will fly you here to my castle."

Wow, he had a literal castle? With its own runway? That was badical! Ordinarily, you might object to the whole chauffeurs and jets setup, but anybody who moved in the same circles as the Seniors had to be swimming in money.

"Alright, Mister M, I'll see you and Jazz Friday!"

"Very good Ronald. Thank you for putting her and I in touch by the way. If Jack Fenton had his way I would have only found out about Jasmine in the aftermath of a tragedy. I very much appreciate the opportunity to get to know my goddaughter, and I have that thanks to you."

"You're welcome Mister M! I was glad to help. I know Jazz was worried about having someone in her family she could talk to who wasn't obsessed with Ghosts. I had a little close encounter myself recently, and when I told her she freaked out"

"Oh did you? I have some training in Ghostly Science myself. I [i]was[/i] lab partners with Jasmine's parents once upon a time. You just bring whatever information you have, and we can go over it this weekend. And not to worry, while I am many things, obsessed about ghosts is not one of them."

"Great! I'll see you Friday then Mister M!"

"Very Good Ronald, I'm looking forward to it!"

[color=transparent] Hundreds of miles away a billionaire industrialist began to smirk and laugh most evilly. [/color]

You hung up the phone with a click, and started to think. The second half of the week was going to be pretty packed! Planning Wednesday, Hunt Thursday, Flight on Friday, and Driver's Ed throughout! With a groan you faced the facts. You were going to have to pack and get ready days in advance. Still, you didn't have to do it today! No, all you had to deal with today was making sure all your homework was done, and doing some studying for Driver's Ed. The sooner you passed that the sooner you'd have one less thing to worry about!

Monday dawned cold and clear, a typical Middleton morning in November. It seriously didn't understand the importance of this event, obviously. Not to mention that Kim didn't get the true things at stake of what you were doing even as you walked beside her. Well, it was time to impress upon her the true consequences this little test could have.

"Look, Kim. This isn't just a test. This isn't just like a final. This is Driver's Ed, KP! It's like one of the biggest, hairiest deals there is?" She rolled her eyes a little bit at the melodramatics, but you knew you were getting to her. After all, if she didn't take this seriously she'd probably fail and be relegated to doom.

"Come on, Ron. It's driver's Ed. No big?" Yeah, you were going to need to push just a little bit harder to help her.

"No big, KP? No big? Huh, okay. Failing one of the most important teenage rites of passage and losing one of the greatest freedoms a sixteen year old can have is no big?! I don't think you get how much this means to high schoolers everywhere." You thought you were getting to her, but she didn't seem shaken.

"Come on Ron, you need to stop freaking out. It'll just be us getting behind the wheel of a car and driving. It's not that hard." Huh, when she put it that way she kinda had a point. "Besides, we travel the world, fight supervillains, and save the world on a weekly basis.. This is nothing compared to fighting Shego." That or fighting monsters… Yeah, she might have a point here. This wasn't hard compared to fighting evil 24/7. You could do this! With the crowd of your classmates standing around, Mr. Barkin drove up to the curb and stepped out. He took a moment to survey all of you.

"People, today is the most important day of your young lives. Today you pass through the doorway to adulthood," He gestured towards the driver's ed car, "Today.. You drive." He was greeted by the cheers of everyone, before pulling out a tv.

"But first, a film." He pressed the play button, and you saw a grainy black and white image forming on the screen. It looked like some sort of horror film about cars, but you couldn't really bring yourself to be scared about it. The crashes it showed were gruesome, but then again you'd actually seen a dead body by yourself. It wasn't really terrifying in comparison. After a while, you just sort of tuned it out and thought about other ideas. Like how to take down a super strong vampire with fear powers that lived in a sewer. Finally, Mr Barkin turned the little abomination of a video off and turned to the class.

"Now who would like to go first?" You were about to raise your hand, but one of the cheerleaders beat you to the punch. Ten minutes later, she got out of the car shaking and on the verge of tears. Mr. Barkin simply grumbled while drawing a large X on his clipboard.

"Next?" One of the guys you didn't really talk to walked up. He didn't even last the full ten minutes before Mr. B found himself back at the start writing off another student. It went on like this for a while before you finally raised your hand to get into the screaming metal deathtrap. Quietly, you strapped on the seat-belt before adjusting the mirrors. Sure, your hands were shaking but it was one of the most important things in your teen life. You couldn-

"So, we're going to be doing the hunt during lunch on Thursday?" You turned to see Mr. Barkin slowly checking off some things on his sheet.

"Yeah. I think that we'll be able to swing it even if time'll be a bit limited. Did you tell Shego about the plan?" He nodded as you put the car into drive and continued to advance through the course.

"She's been waiting for something to happen. Apparently, our new teacher has been getting bored. If experience has taught me anything, it's that people who get bored tend to do… stupid things." Well, then you were glad you'd made your call then. Sure, she could be a bit difficult but you could work around her just like you were going around these cones.

"Well, that's good. I just hope everything goes smoothly. You have any good ideas for how to fight this thing?" From the rearview mirror you saw Mr. B shake his head as you reversed.

"Nothing beyond the normal 'hit it until it dies'. You can't really do something big when he's right under the rest of the city. Too many feathers will get ruffled, and too many people might end up as collateral damage." Yeah, you were the good guys weren't going to be hurting any innocents if you could help it.

"Well, this'll be… something to talk about at the meeting, right?"

"Good, now put the car in park Stoppable." With a motion, you shifted the gear back into it's original position.

"Wait, what about the test?" You'd been so busy talking that you hadn't payed attention to the road.

"You passed with flying colors, Stoppable. Just bring this to the cashier at the DMV, and you'll get your probationary license. The real thing will be coming in the mail. Now," He turned to KP, "Possible! Get in here! Do half as well as your sidekick and you'll be able to get your license." Kim gave you a reassuring smile before stepping into the vehicle. You really didn't think you'd done that well. You looked over the sheet Mr. B handed you to make sure you weren't going crazy. It was filled with check marks and a big 100% was circled on the front.

Huh. Apparently you were just that good. As you basked in the glow of your own success, you sat back and waited for KP to finish her own test. After about ten more minutes, she finally stepped out of the car with a weak smile on her face. Mr. B handed her a sheet before turning to Bonnie.

"Now, do you want to continue this string of successes or start another streak of failures?" She snorted derisively before stepping into the car. You turned to Kim with a wide smile on your face.

"So, what'd you get? A? A+?" She gave you a shy smile before kicking at the ground.

"I got a B for everything. I'm just glad I only had to go through that once. The video Mr. Barkin showed beforehand was really creepy. It kinda wigged me out." You could understand that. You'd just seen worse was all. Of course, if you hadn't been getting used to unspeakable horrors and blood drenched streets you'd probably have maimed yourself in a panic.

All's well that ends well.

By the time school was over on Wednesday, you were chomping at the bit. You were going to be planning your second hunt! That was a big deal! The whole club was gathered together in an empty classroom, and you were ready to start the planning!

"OK guys," you started, "What do we know?"

Viv, here in her capacity as Miss Information, laid it out, "This particular Bloodsucker is looking into the death of the Vampire the club already took out. I've managed to keep it from finding anything of note, but it's probably still sniffing around. You should all still have the packets I did up about Nosferatu. Just to recap, they're tough, ugly, and scary as hell. I've got the area this one's based in zeroed in down in the sewers under the tricity. It's sorta my home base so it wasn't hard to track this guy down." She brings out a pda and projects a map of the tricity area onto the front of the room, with a glowing face with big fangs and huge ears shining red to mark the vampire's hiding place.

"Alright People," Mister B says, "What's it going to be?"
