Chapter 3 is finally here! No Drakken and Shego here, but if you've read the original 'New Redheaded Cheerleader', you probably already know their plan. So...let's ROLL IT!

Setting: Doofenshmirtz household, Danville

16 year old Vanessa Doofenshmirtz was lying down on her bed in her room, decked out in Metallica, KISS and Green Day gear. Her mom Charlene was putting clothes away in the closet and she was dressed in all black - black coat, long black pants and black high-heeled boots, despite the temperature being in the mid 90s.

"Dang it, mom! How can I prove to you that dad is evil?" Vanessa groaned in frustration.

Charlene smiled while putting away some of the laundry. "Honey, your dad can't be evil. He wouldn't harm a fly!"

"But he's created all these inventions and they just...vanish without a trace right before you see them! Remember when I tried to show you that little country on the water, mom?" Vanessa insisted, trying once again to tell her mom what her dad has been up to this summer.

"Oh, you mean that felt miniature that he made for me? That was so sweet!" Charlene giggled, pointing to the felt model of Doofania on Vanessa's dresser that was once a floating country before it was wrecked.

"One of these days, mom, I'll prove to you that dad IS an evil scientist! And he'll be BUSTED!" Vanessa exclaimed, smirking as she sat up on her bed. "Boy...now I know how Candace feels when she fails to bust her brothers."

"I'll say it again, honey; no one, not even your father, can be that evil!" Charlene exclaimed, picking up the laundry basket. "By the way, I'll be over in Greenwood all day tomorrow for a cooking class, so you'll be with your father..."

Vanessa grinned at hearing this as the phone rang.

"...oh, that must be Heinz now." Charlene said as she put down the basket and left the room.

Vanessa snickered as her mom left, putting her face down in her pillow. 'Now that she's leaving me with Dad tomorrow, I'll expose his inventions to Mom! But how?' she thought. "Easy girl...you really ARE turning into another Candace..."

Speaking of Candace, why don't we check and see how her cousin is doing?

(Chase household, that night, 6 PM)

After the Chases finished dinner and cleaned up, Melissa went over to her mom. "Mom, I heard you talking with Aunt Linda earlier..."

"I sure was, honey!" Pepper smiled, messing up her daughter's hair. "Your cousin Candace is going through the same thing. She wants to be a Middleton cheerleader too and just like you, she's afraid that Veruca might pull some shady shenanigans on her boyfriend Jeremy. I think I told you she called your idol, Kim Possible."

"You did."

"Well, she'll be over Aunt Linda's place early tomorrow morning with some of her friends. So I'm gonna need you to be up by 6:30 tomorrow so we can get you and Milo over there because he'll be there with Sara."

"Alright, mom," Melissa said in affirmation. "Means I'm gonna have to call up Amanda, try to convince her to get up early..."

"Why don't you do so now and talk it out?"

"Best idea ever, mom! Anyway, I was talking with cousin Candace earlier. She's going to the mall with Stacy. Can Amanda, Lydia and I go too?"

"Of course, little spark! Just be back by 10, 'kay?"

"Alright, mom!" Melissa said cheerfully as she raced to her room, picked up her phone and typed in the number to Amanda's cell.

"Hey Amanda, you there?" Melissa asked, wondering if her Latina friend was around.

Over at the Lopez house, Amanda was doing her makeup when she heard her cellphone ring and picked it up.

"What's up, Melissa?" Amanda asked on the other end.

"Get this, Amanda. My Aunt Linda called in someone to help my cousin Candace with her cheerleading dilemma and I'm gonna be over there tomorrow with Milo! Guess who she called in?"

"Who?"

"Think...who have I tried to model my life after?"

That's when it hit Amanda. "Don't tell me it's Kim Possible!"

"You got it! Mom's wanting me up by 6:30 tomorrow. I think I'd feel a little more comfortable if you were there too."

"Say no more, Melissa! Color-coded schedule out the window! You got it!" Amanda smiled on the other end.

"Now about that shopping trip...I talked with Milo and his sister said she's alright with driving us to the mall! She's gotta do some back to school shopping of her own anyway. Lydia's mom is taking her and cousin Candace and Stacy are meeting us there!"

"Awesome! See you in front of your house in 10!"

Melissa nodded "Alright, Amanda! Laters!" She smiled and hung up her cell. She grabbed her purse, snapped on her heart-shaped locket with Milo's picture inside and raced out the door. Sure enough, Amanda was waiting for her and no sooner than the two girls ran into each other's arms, Sara came driving by in her 2002 gold Chevy Malibu with Milo right next to her.

"Hey, Melissa! Amanda!" Sara greeted. "Hop in, girls!"

"That's our cue," Amanda said to Melissa as they both climbed into the back seat. Milo did the same, sliding next to Melissa.

"I guess you saw that one coming a mile away, Sara..." Milo remarked to his sister as he buckled up and she drove off.

"Ah, Milo...I always knew you and Melissa were bound to hook up sooner or later!" The blonde giggled before turning to Melissa. "So Melissa...I hear you wanting to be a Middleton Mad Dog cheerleader!"

"You got that right, Sara! Who told you?"

"You did, ya silly goose!" Sara giggled.

"Well, I do, Sara. My parents are a bit apprehensive because..."

"Veruca?" Sara finished, getting a nod from Melissa. "Relax, Melissa. I've been on the squad 2 years now and I've seen through all of Veruca's lies. I've broken down all her traps. She ain't getting my boyfriend Neal! Heck, I've even made a detailed list of every horrible thing that blonde demon has done!"

This took Melissa and Amanda by surprise. "Okaaaaay..."

"Did not see that coming," Amanda added.

"That's my sister for you, girls! Always ready for action!" Milo remarked.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, little brother!" Sara said to Milo as they pulled into the Googolplex Mall parking lot. First person to catch Melissa's eye was Candace. Melissa was quick to unbuckle and race out of Sara's car. "CANDACE!" Melissa called out, running up to her cousin.

"MELISSA!" Candace exclaimed as the duo hugged. "Melissa, I haven't seen you in quite a while! What's up, girlie? How've you been?"

Melissa giggled. Seeing her cousin Candace was a welcome sight after all that's gone down for her recently. "Other than this whole Veruca nonsense, I've been alright. You?"

"Same. I'm worried that Veruca might rip Jeremy away from me. But I do know that my mom called in a special cheerleader to help us both out..."

"I know, Candace. It's my idol...Kim Possible!" Melissa added in, excited to meet her personal hero.

"You know, I kinda forgot you idolized Kim Possible, Melissa," Candace remarked, owing to the fact that she doesn't get to see her cousin Melissa much. "Of course, since she took down Veruca, we shouldn't have to worry about that blonde demon at all! Right, Melissa?" No answer. "Melissa?" Still no answer. Melissa was frozen in a thousand yard stare, as if she was a soldier who had just gotten back from the Persian Gulf.

"Fighting...flash forward...to potential...Veruca-related...catastrophe..." Melissa stammered.

"Now you've done it, Candace..." Stacy remarked.

"It's okay, Stace. I've been getting those myself recently," Candace said, recalling her own Veruca-related flash forwards. A peck on the cheek by Milo snapped Melissa out of her trance.

"Whew! That was a nasty one...thanks, Milo!" Melissa said in relief, locking eyes with her jinxed boyfriend. "Sorry for the scare there, cousin Candace. I had a bit of a Veruca-related vision of Veruca drugging Milo, flashing him and basically having her way with him..."

Candace threw her arms around her cousin as she cried into her shoulders. "It's okay, Melissa...let it all out. We're gonna rock that cheer tryout and we're gonna stop Veruca from snagging our boyfriends! This I can promise you...Veruca ain't touching our guys!"

"You promise, Candace?"

"I promise, Melissa. Now let's go! We've got a lot of shopping to do and big day tomorrow!"

The girls raced off into the mall and as for Milo...

"Aw man...Melissa's gonna make me carry all the bags...I just know it!"

That does it for this chapter! Next chapter, we'll check in with the Possibles...and Veruca. See ya then and remember...IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
