KP All Grown Up v2.0: Future Stoppable for Team Tri Stoppable

AN: Ron's sister is Hana Stoppable from Season 4. Warmonga is a very tall alien Amazon from Season 4.

Chapter 51: Switch!

(At the Stoppable home)

Cindy had not slept well that night as visions of the futures that she had witnessed disturbed her sleep. So because of her dreams, she found her family by her bedside with worried expressions etched into each of their faces.

It was a long road for them as they took turns sitting by her side until the morning sun came through Cindy's window and somehow she found the light comforting enough for her to finally rest without trouble.

(At the Lipsky home)

Jesse had not slept much better than Cindy had for different reasons than hers. His sleep was disturbed by the haunting question of Ron Stoppable, his best friend's father, "Do you love Cindy?"

Jesse's head and heart were at conflict all night, causing him to toss and turn on his bed with his bedsheets becoming thoroughly messed up.

Just like Cindy, he found sleep unable to come to him until the early rays of the morning sun came peeking through his window at which he opened one eye and mutters, "You've got to be kidding me." He closes his eyes, pressing his face into the pillow and surrenders to sleep at the same time as Cindy back at her home.

(Elsewhere)

Mindy stretches her arms and yawns, "OOOoooh!" before smacking her lips a little noisily as she tries to wake up. Watching over her sister some during the night while she had her nightmares had not been a pleasant or easy task. Worse was that her sister had not been wanting to tell any of them what they were about but it had been easy enough to guess as to why. There was only one thing that was recent enough to rattle her normally calm and collected sister, the destruction of Jesse and his miraculous return back to life.

Mindy shakes her head as she walks into the kitchen to find her parents already there and sipping on some coffee. She notes that the both of them looked as tired as she felt too.

Kim walks over and hands her a cup of coffee, already made just how she liked it too.

Mindy gives her the curious eye until Kim says, "You look like you could use it and you stayed longer with your sister than any of us."

Mindy sips the coffee and lets its warmth flow down her throat before she says, "Well, she is my sister… and I still think we should have called Jesse."

Kim shakes her head and says, "I don't that that would have helped. It might have made things worse because we can't keep on calling Jesse over every time she has nightmares about him. Eventually she would become dependant on him to sleep with."

Mindy yawns as she walks towards a seat and says, "Yeah… kinda like how you two are… besides Mother… I hate to break it to you, but it already seems like she's getting to be as bad as you two…"

Mindy never sees the reaction on her parent's faces as she plops herself down into her seat and with her hand still holding the cup of coffee on the table, she falls asleep.

Kim walks back over to where Ron is and whispers softly so as not to wake Mindy, "Ron… did you have a talk with her yet?"

Ron shakes his head as he whispers back, "Not yet, with all that happened last night. The way Cindy would cry out some random thing before waking up in a start… when was I supposed to find the time?"

Kim nods and places her hand over Ron's chest as she sips her coffee with it already more than half gone.

The both of them take their cups and walk out of the kitchen and go into the living room where they sit down on the couch.

Ron wraps his arm around Kim's shoulder just as she leans in while holding the cup with both hands and leans her head on his shoulder.

Kim says, "I know we've got to tell her at some point Ron."

Ron sighs softly and says, "I know… but there is time for that later. What we have to say isn't going to change in the next twenty-four hours."

Kim nods a little as she says, "I know but the longer we wait, the more it is going to affect her."

Ron nods and says, "You're right. Let's tell her when everyone's had a little more time to rest. I don't know about you but even with the coffee, I still want to go back to bed."

Kim does a small smile and says, "Same here Ron. We could go back to bed and get a few hours of rest."

Ron smiles at Kim and says, "That sounds like a good idea to me."

The two of them get up to their feet after putting down the cups of coffee when suddenly the phone goes off and with the green flasher on the tip of the phone, they knew it was Sheila.

Ron suggestively says, "We could just ignore it."

Kim shakes her head and says, "No… She would know and just be upset at us. I'd rather pick it up than face her yelling at me."

Ron nods in agreement as Kim picks up the phone and says, "Hello, Possible Residence."

Sheila says, "Knock it off Princess, you know it is me. You have caller id and everything."

Kim yawns a little and says, "What is it that you want Sheila? I'm still pretty tired over here."

Sheila's teasing grin could be heard over the phone as she says, "Spent a little too much time 'celebrating' your latest mission victory huh?"

Kim blushes red and shouts, "Sheila!" She then lowers her voice back to normal as she says, "That's not why I'm tired. Cindy was up all night with nightmares and everyone here was trying to comfort her."

Sheila is silent on the line for a moment before she says, "Cindy was up all night? When did she finally fall asleep?"

Kim was too tired to pay attention to that little feeling that she had before she says, "About the time when the sun came up… how's that any concern of yours?"

The undertone of Sheila's voice makes her pay attention but it was what she says next that wakes her up more, "Because Jesse didn't go to bed until the early morning rays of the sun as well. Apparently it was because he had Cindy on the brain. It makes sense now because those two always were rather close."

Kim reaches out and pulls Ron close enough for him to join in on the conversation and says, "Could you repeat that Sheila? I don't think I heard you the first time."

Sheila says, "Jesse didn't get any sleep at all last night. When I went to wake him up for our usual morning sparring. He actually told me he couldn't get any sleep at all because of Cindy and that seeing the rising sun had been his first chance to get any sleep at all."

Kim and Ron look at each other silently for a few moments before Kim says, "That is very interesting Sheila, thank you for telling me about that. I guess both of us will have sleepy kids for the rest of the day."

Sheila nods and says, "Well you don't sound too much better yourself. Go get yourself and that blonde husband of yours off to bed for a few hours. I'll keep watch for a while since it seems like I'm the only one who got any rest around here."

Kim stifles a yawn as she says, "Thank you Sheila, I appreciate that. Will you let Wade know for us too? I think we're going to wake up Mindy from the kitchen table and go off to bed."

Sheila laughs and says, "Shoo already! Your family's in good hands with the Lipsky's ok?"

While the teenage Kim would have been upset to hear those words coming from the woman who was Shego, the adult Kim felt very comforted by those words and she says, "Thanks Sheila, I'll leave things in your hands while we get our rest…"

Sheila says, "Wait… what about the kids? The babies?"

Kim says, "The kids were up helping so they should be asleep too. Can you come over and watch over the babies for us?"

Sheila nods as she says over the phone to Kim, "Sure thing. I'll be right over and Drew can hold the fort here without me."

Kim yawns and sleepily says, "Thanks Sheila, you have the key so just let yourself in when you get here. Bye." Without waiting for a reply she hangs up and together husband and wife go back to the kitchen to collect their sleeping daughter.

(Later)

Sheila enters the house without any problem, unaware of other things that were happening at the exact same time.

First of all, Mindy gets up and sleepily decides to go back to the kitchen for her cup of coffee without knowing that Sheila was in the house.

Second, a large shadow appears over her own home with a still sleeping Jesse inside and her husband tinkering on something in the lab.

Third and not least of all, Team M.A.S.K. makes their move towards the Stoppable home.

Sheila walks into the kitchen to see if Kim and Ron had left any coffee for her. She smiles and says, "Yes! They left me some coffee. It is a good day for you Sheila." She pours herself a hot cup of coffee and adds two sugars and sips it.

Meanwhile Team MASK slips into the home undetected.

Sheila continues walks past a wall panel that indicates that the security system was in 'Off' mode instead of the 'friendly' mode, which the sleepy headed Kim had done by accident.

The large shadow over the Lipsky home stops moving and fires a powerful beam into the home!

Just as Sheila was about to walk through the kitchen door, Mindy pushes the door and slams it right into Sheila, causing the hot contents of the mug to splash all over her face, chest and hand!

Team MASK finds their way to where Cindy's room is and quietly they approach her.

Sheila lets out a VERY loud scream in both anger and pain, causing several things to happen at the same time.

The first thing is that Mindy wakes up as she covers her ears and in the next instant her eyes go shock-wide as she sees Sheila screaming with hot coffee all over her.

The very next thing that happens is that the scream carries through the house far enough to reach Cindy's room.

For poor anguishing Cindy, the scream breaks her out of her sleep instantly and causes her to bolt upright in the bed with her eyes wide in terror. Her first words were, "NO! JESSE!"

Cindy then notices that she isn't alone in the room and she cries out, "What are you doing in my room? Who are you?"

It is at this point one of them says, "Grab her!" and they leap to pounce her while one of them whips out a small canister.

Even as Cindy struggles under the weight of the invaders, Sheila was breathing heavily and staring at Mindy with fiery fury in her eyes and that was more scary to Mindy than the flaming hands and the building ball of plasma energy that was growing to the size of a basketball.

Meanwhile at that moment the Lipsky home's defenses were sounding off loudly, waking up Jesse at about the same time as Cindy had been awoken and he jumps out of bed with the sheets falling about his feet as he shouts, "Cindy!" It takes him a moment to realize that Cindy is nowhere in the room but the alarm was still going off. It wasn't until the house shook once more and he could hear the faint shouting of his father that he knew something bad was definitely happening but he still couldn't get over the feeling that Cindy also needed his help.

Mindy is fleeing for her life throughout the house, running towards her bedroom while Sheila fires plasma blasts and yelling at her for knocking the full cup of hot coffee onto her delicate skin!

A hand muffled Cindy's cries for attention over her mouth even though she had been able to kick the canister out of the assailant's hand, sending it flying and falling behind her Pandaroo.

Suddenly one of them thrusts her face into Cindy's view and her eyes start to glow in a hypnotic way. Cindy tries to struggle but the assailants were too strong, too skilled for her to escape and with that woman's eyes filling her vision it wasn't too long before she stopped struggling altogether.

Mary says, "Good job Karen. That will keep her out until we can locate the thing she kicked and…"

Suddenly they hear someone screaming, "I am sorry!" and she runs right past the open door of Cindy's room.

Arron growls, "Times up! Let's just take her and get out of here."

Everyone nods before Sam picks her up and places her over his shoulder. He was the strongest of the team so it wasn't any deal for him to pick her up and carry her.

Just then Sheila runs by, hands flaming with her head turning and Mary was surprised by the look she saw before Sheila could stop herself in the hallway.

Sheila could NOT believe what she'd just seen as she ran past Cindy's room. She saw four unrecognizable people, one of whom was carrying her over his shoulder with clear intent on making off with her. She had gone from being just very angry to surprised to furious.

Sheila shouts, "Mindy! Someone's trying to kidnap Cindy!" As she does a backflip to land right in front of the doorway even as there was a loud explosion which stirs up smoke and debris.

Sheila pushes on through the smoke as she shouts, "Stay where you are if you know what's good for you!"

Sheila looks around and growls, as the smoke and dust settles to reveal an empty room.

Mindy runs up to join Sheila and gasps, "Where is my sister?"

Sheila's hands were still flaming as she says darkly, "I don't know Mindy, but they are going to regret snatching her while I was on the clock."

Kim and Ron run up a moment or two later with Kim saying quickly, "What's going on here? Sheila? Is something wrong with Cindy?"

Kim walks up and gasps with her eyes going wide at the sight of the ruined room with a huge hole where the window had once been. She knew that the window was reinforced but what she didn't understand was why the security system didn't go off.

Ron says, "Sheila, did you see who did this?"

Sheila nods, "I did but only for a second, by the time I was back in the doorway they had already destroyed the window and they used a smokescreen to mask their escape. Whoever they were… they are so dead by the time I get through with them."

Ron sighs and says, "Great and just when I was hoping to find out if Jesse had made a decision."

Sheila frowns and says, "Jesse? What are you talking about…?" She gets interrupted as her cellphone goes off and judging by the ringtone it was Jesse calling her.

Mindy mutters, "Speaking of…" She knew that ringtone as Cindy had the same tone for Jesse.

Sheila gives Mindy a sharp look and says, "I'm not done with you yet, young lady." She then opens the connection and says, "Jesse, this isn't…" before Jesse shouts through the phone, "Mom! Dad's been kidnapped by Warmonga!"


AN: Well everyone, I assure you that I have NOT dropped off the face of the Earth. I just got really caught up with everything over here in the greatest obstacle for all writers. Leading a life. Lol! I am hope you've all enjoyed this chapter. Sorry I didn't reveal Jesse's decision but maybe later. Looks like when it rains it pours huh? So what did you all think of the 'sleeping problems' that both Cindy and Jesse had? Jesse must have been REALLY tired to admit that he had not been able to get to sleep because of Cindy, huh? What did you think of Sheila's innuendo teasings? What did you think of everything that happened at the same time? What do you think Kim and Ron were debating about telling who about anything? Would you want to be chased by an angry, scalding hot, Shego? Any guesses what Team MASK was doing there? Any thoughts on what the purpose of the mysterious canister was for? Does anyone have any thoughts or guesses as to what the ringtone song for Jesse would be? How do you think they should deal with the kidnappings of both Drew and Cindy? Who should they go after first? What would you pick? Ok, I guess that's enough questions.

As usual all reviews, votes, thoughts, ideas, suggestions and more are always welcome.
