~Chapter 3~
"So... What's the plan again?" A very curious Ron asked his partner as he followed her. Both were in the dark streets of Middleton, running from tree to tree so they wouldn't be spotted. "I already told you, this is -not- the real plan yet! This is just a test," The one being spoken to replied impatiently as she stuck her head out from behind the tree and looked around for signs of people. But the streets were deserted.
One would have thought that Ron Stoppable would be talking to his best friend Kim, as they did during a mission. But not this time - instead of the red-haired cheerleader, Ron was dealing with someone he had never expected to be allies with - nobody else, but Shego. The raven-haired villain hushed Ron, before beckoning to him to follow her. Soon, the two arrived at the wall at the back of a house, in the backyard. A house that was very familiar to Ron..
"Hey, this is my house!" Ron whispered, finally noticing. "Oh yeah," Rufus added, nodding, as he popped his head out of Ron's side pocket. The naked mole-rat disappeared once more once it saw Shego's look.
"Exactly.. Here's your mission: Get all the stuff you think you'll need for your new life; your new home," She ordered. "No prob. That'll be easy," Ron said, smiling mischievously. Then, he began walking to the nearest entrance, until Shego stopped him.
"What are you doing?!" She demanded.
"Oh, going into my house to pick up my stuff which you asked me to," Came the reply.
Shego smacked her forehead. "Kid, you're not supposed to be -seen- by your parents! You're a villain now, remember?! Rule number fifty-four: Don't let your presence be known! Now get your butt back over here and use the window!" She scolded, pointing to an open window which of course, led to Ron's room. "That's about thirty feet!" Ron exclaimed incredulously, eyes widened.
"Training! Remember rule number eight: Every crime is merely for training," Shego reminded him. Feeling slightly sorry for her partner, the woman handed him some rope, with a hook tied to one end. "There. Happy?" She said dully. Ron took it gratefully, and backed up. He began swinging the rope above his head, before launching it. Surprisingly, the hook latched onto Ron's room window, and the teen pulled it slightly, testing if it could hold him, before beginning the tedious climb. Shego watched from below, face expressionless.
Beads of sweat rolled down the side of Ron's face as he struggled to climb the rope, while trying to remember all the techniques Shego taught him. Finally, he made it to the top and heaved himself onto the window, sighing in relief. "I did it!" He said, extremely loudly. Shego rolled her eyes, as Ron climbed into his room.
The olive-skinned former assistant waited for about ten minutes, tapping her foot, arms crossed. "What's taking so long?! Rule number twenty-one: Be fast, be swift.." She hissed to Ron, trying as much as possible to be quiet. Finally, Shego spotted Ron as he stuck his head out. "Coming!" He replied. "..And be silent! And lesson number five: Never interrupt me while I'm talking!"
Shego watched as he struggled to heave what looked like a giant bag out the window. "It's stuck!" He announced after several attempts to transport the bag outside. Yet, he tried again, until finally, the bag was squeezed out the window.
Unfortunately, Ron wasn't expecting it to give way that fast, and lost his balance.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, falling to the ground. "OOF!"
Shego sighed again.
"Honey? Did you hear that?" A feminine voice said from inside the house. Panicking, Shego ran swiftly to Ron and pulled him(and his gigantic bag) into the bushes.
Lights were turned on inside the house, as a couple which Ron recognized as his parents stepped out, holding flashlights and looking drowsy. "Nothing out here," Ron's dad announced. His mom looked disappointed. "And I had a good feeling that Ronnie had come back.." She sniffed. Ron's dad slipped his arms around her shoulders as he led her back in the house.
Ron watched, feeling slightly homesick until Shego caught his attention. "Okay kid, new lesson: Never -ever- scream when you fall!" She said. "And what's with the bag?! I said only the stuff you -need-!"
"But... I need all this stuff!" Ron persisted, hugging his bag close. "And Rufus' stuff are in here too. Sorry buddy, but I couldn't pack the naked mole-rat tunnels," He added to his little pink friend. "Awww.." Rufus squeaked. Shego rolled her eyes again. "Whatever. Come on. Tomorrow, you're going to commit your first -real- crime, and you better not mess up!"
~
"Come -on-, Shego, just tell me the plan. You know this is violating your promise; you said that we would be equals, and yet you know something I don't," Ron complained as he approached Shego in their 'lair'. Both had decided to live in the abandoned gym they used for Ron's training. The woman looked at Ron skeptically.
"Do you know what Kim Possible's computer genius' name is?" She asked all of a sudden.
"Y-yes." Ron answered, wondering what her question had to do with anything.
"Well I don't. So hoorah, now we're equals," She said. Ron made a short 'ugh' sound, before sitting on a nearby chair. He finally had time to think about what was happening to his life.
'Was choosing to become a villain a good choice? Was it really worth leaving your family, your best friend, and your old life?' This questions were asked again and again in Ron's mind.
"I know what you're thinking," Shego suddenly told him. Breaking away from his thoughts, Ron blinked and looked at her. "You're trying to decide on whether you made the right choice, yeah?" Ron nodded, wondering if Shego could read minds.
"And no, I can't read minds," Shego added.
'Well, scratch THAT thought,' Ron said to himself.
"I just know. About a million questions were stuck in my head when I first became a villain. But trust me, they'll all be answered when you've committed your first crime... It'll be loads of fun too," She said.
"I hope so.." Ron said quietly.
"Ahem! Rule number forty-eight! Act, talk, pretend.. No, BE a villain at all times!" Shego said impatiently, snapping her fingers.
"Oh, I mean... It sure will! When is it not?" Ron rephrased, forcing a smirk upon his facial features. "That's better," Shego commented. Then, she looked at a nearby clock, before calling to Ron. "It's nine o' clock. Let's go.."
"Finally. Now tell me what the plan is," Ron said seriously.
~
"An outfit?! THAT's it?!" Ron exclaimed. "Ssshhhh! Every villain needs a trademark outfit... Like me: the jumpsuit."
"Isn't THIS considered a trademark outfit? I wear it pretty often!" Ron said, pointing to his same old red shirt and baggy pants.
"Mmm.. Nah, you look like a total dork."
"And you look like that girl on the aerobics channel," Ron pointed out.
"I'll pretend I never heard that."
Later, Shego and Ron arrived at the Club Banana shop. "Why steal at Club Banana? We can just buy at Smarty Mart," Ron insisted. "Don't buy when you can easily steal. Take that down as lesson number two hundred ninety-one," Shego said. The woman ended the conversation as she approached a window. Tip-toeing slightly, the claw-bearing villain pressed her gloved finger on the window's side and traced its outline. Then, miraculously, Shego was able to remove the window pane. She threw it at Ron, who managed to catch it and set it down on the ground.
Shego climbed through the window and into Club Banana. Once Ron saw that she wasn't in view anymore, he walked up to the window and jumped up to it, grabbing hold of the ledge and swinging himself up, and into the closed store. Ron was about to jump down, but suddenly he was stopped. The blonde looked back and saw that his side pocket had gotten caught in a loose nail. "No wonder Shego wants to get me an outfit..." Ron said to himself, as Rufus struggled to free his owner.
~
"Where've you been?! You took so long!" Shego snapped as Ron approached her. "Never mind. Here, try these on," She commanded, thrusting a pile of clothes into Ron's arms.
"Nope, too loose..."
"Too tight.."
"Eww.. Too revealing,"
"Umm... I think I accidentally got this from the ladies' section..."
"Hate the colors.."
Every outfit Shego ordered Ron to try turned out all wrong, and received sharp insults from the chooser herself as she saw Ron in them. "Shego, we've been through like, a hundred outfits! Make up your mind!" Ron said, vexed, as he stepped out of the changing room for Shego to see. "Perfect!" Shego commented, surprisingly, as she stared at her partner.
He was dressed in a black and red, long-sleeved shirt, with matching black and red gloves(one was black and the other was red). His pants were also of the same colors; they weren't as tight as his shirt appeared to be, but weren't as loose as his usual trousers - they were just right. His boots were plain black.
"It's almost perfect... Just one more thing..." Shego said, approaching Ron. She brought up her hands, which held a black headband with a red ruby in the center. Ron bowed his head, so she could put it on him. Even if most of the headband was being covered by Ron's bangs, the red ruby could clearly be seen, gleaming and sparkling.
"Now it's perfect." Shego was smiling, impressed. "I feel so stiff," Ron complained. "Get used to it. Now let's go," was all Shego told him, waving her hand in a nonchalant way. "What?! You mean I'm gonna wear these out?" Ron asked. "Duh! What do you think?! This outfit is your permanent one, which you are to wear in public, everyday, every time, every crime. Now, if only we could find some dye to turn your skin bright red or something.." She suggested, rubbing her chin in a thoughtful way. "No way!" Ron said immediately.
"Just kidding," Shego confessed, sniggering at Ron's expression. "Now hurry up and move!"
"But what about Rufus?" Ron asked, holding up Rufus for Shego to see. The woman looked disgusted. "Umm.. Go find him a cape and a mask or something that's colored red and/or black. Hurry up," She said quickly. Smiling, Ron explored the shop. He ended up getting the clothes Shego suggested: a really small black cape and a really small red eye mask(something like the mask Shego put on in October 31st when Drakken told her to 'try to fit in'), which were taken from the Barbie section. "Club Banana actually has a Barbie section?!" Ron exlaimed, blinking as he found out.
"It's simple but stylish," He told Shego as he showed her Rufus wearing his cool new outfit. "Whatever. Let's just go before you decide to get clothes for anyone else," was all she said, and they left.
~
"So kid, how do you like villainy so far?" Shego asked the teen who sat in front of her, driving his motorized scooter which he brought along with him when he took the things he needed from his house. Shego had her arms wrapped around Ron, as they sped back to their lair. However, none of them minded one bit. "By the way, nice scooter," She commented.
"Thanks. As for the villainy question - it's okay. Pretty cool, since now I can get almost anything I want from a mall. It's also... Fun, just like you said."
"Good. I'm glad you're taking it well."
"Mmm..." Ron mumbled, stifling a yawn. Shego chuckled. "You're sleepy, aren't you? Figures, it takes a lot to get used to sleeping late and waking up early."
"Sleep late and wake up early?! Awww, man! And I thought I could sleep as long as I want!"
"Well, you actually can, as long as the police aren't onto you yet... Like right now. But after tomorrow, we'll be on the run."
"After tomorrow?"
"Yup. We have another crime to commit, and it's more than just stealing."
~
"Ugh.." A red-haired cheerleader groaned as she sat up on her bed. She had only just woken up, and strands of her auburn hair stuck out in every direction. Ignoring her appearance, the teen immediately grabbed her Kimmunicator, which rested on her bedside table.
"Wade! Anything about Ron?" She asked urgently. "Kim... It's 5 a.m..." The computer genius replied as his tired features appeared on the screen. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Nothing?" Kim asked, loosing her hope. "Nope.." Wade mumbled, about to fall asleep. "Keep me posted," She told him. "Sure will," Came the final reply, before the gadget was turned off.
Kim figured that she couldn't get back to sleep no matter what she tried, so instead, she headed downstairs for a cup of coffee, which was strictly very unlike her. This was because her worry for Ron had been eating her for the whole week... She was really starting to lose it.
At about 11:00 a.m., the phone rang. Kim immediately answered it. "Hello?" She said, stifling a yawn. "Lighten up, girl!" A joyous, feminine voice said on the other line.
"Monique?"
"Yeah.. It's me."
"Not to be rude or anything, but why are you calling?"
"Oh, I was thinking if we could go to Middleton Mall to, y'know, take your mind off R-O-N for a while."
"Sure," Kim said glumly.
"You sound tired, Kim."
"Huh? Oh, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. this morning. It's no big..."
"Kim, stop going insane over Ron. I'm sure he's alright! Focus on more important things, girlfriend!" Monique advised her.
"Umm.. Yeah... Focus... Anyway, I'll meet you at the mall. Thanks for inviting me. I've been -dying- to go out of the house, but for some reason I didn't want to leave home."
"Oh... Anyway, see you Kim!" Then, Monique hung up.
So, Kim dressed up and immediately left for the mall. She met up with Monique in front of Club Banana, where there seemed to be a lot of people crowding in the store for some reason.
"What's going on?" Kim asked no one in particular. Monique, who was beside her shrugged.
"Officer Hobble?" She said, recognizing the police officer she knew so well. The man seemed to be trying to put everything in order, as people swarmed around him. He was blocking them from entering the counterpart of Smarty Mart.
Soon, he finally spotted Kim. "Kimberly Possible! Thank god you showed up!" He exclaimed, beckoning her to come over. Kim approached him.
"What's the matter, Officer?"
"There was a break-in at this store..." Officer Hobble exclaimed glumly. "Nothing was taken except a black and red shirt, one black glove, one red glove, a pair of black and red pants, plain black boots, a headband with an expensive ruby in its center, which were all from the men's section, and a small black cape and a red eye mask from the Barbie section. But other than that, take a look..."
Officer Hobble led Kim inside. The teen hero gasped in surprise as she surveyed her surroundings. Clothes were thrown about, inside-out, with many folds. Most of them seemed to be from the men's section. "Weird... It's as if someone tried to try on every piece of men's clothing here..." Kim observed. "And one woman's outfit," She added, picking up a tight-looking, black jumpsuit adorned with flower drawings. Before she could look around more, the Kimmunicator beeped.
"Wade. What's the sitch?" She greeted.
"I just found out that there were two robberies: one the day before yesterday, and one occurred just today, about 1:00 a.m. Both happened in Middleton."
"Weird.." Kim commented.
"I can't dig up any more information, but the newspaper might help."
Kim approached an old man, who was reading the Middleton newspaper.
"S'cuse me, may I borrow this? Please and thank you..."
Kim viewed the front page. 'DESTRUCTIVE LASER STOLEN FROM MIDDLETON COLLEGE LAB', was the headline. It showed a picture taken secretly during the robbery. However, it was dark, and only the silhouettes of two people could be seen, creeping around the lab. A strange-looking shape was perched on one of the person's shoulder.
"What about the other robbery?" Kim asked.
"This is the majorly weird part: Someone robbed the Stoppable house," He told her. Kim's ears immediately perked up at the sound of the word 'Stoppable'. "What?" She asked, stupefied.
"The robber stole a couple of stuff from Ron's room. Clothes, some toys.. And even Ron's motor scooter was stolen. I'm guessing the three robberies are linked, but the question is..."
"How?" Kim stated, finishing Wade's sentence for him.
"I'll be right on it, Wade. By the way, please scan for fingerprints and/or footprints in all robberies. And scan for the location of the laser too, please."
"I'm on it, Kim.. I'll have the location up soon."
"Please and Thank you," She said.
"Monique, what do you think about all of this...?" She asked her friend, who stood beside her.

"So... What's the plan again?" A very curious Ron asked his partner as he followed her. Both were in the dark streets of Middleton, running from tree to tree so they wouldn't be spotted. "I already told you, this is -not- the real plan yet!

Shego smacked her forehead. "Kid, you're not supposed to be -seen- by your parents! You're a villain now, remember?! Rule number fifty-four: Don't let your presence be known! Now get your butt back over here and use the window!" She scolded, pointing to an open window which of course, led to Ron's room. "That's about thirty feet!" Ron exclaimed incredulously, eyes widened.
"Training! Remember rule number eight: Every crime is merely for training," Shego reminded him. Feeling slightly sorry for her partner, the woman handed him some rope, with a hook tied to one end. "There. Happy?" She said dully. Ron took it gratefully, and backed up. He began swinging the rope above his head, before launching it. Surprisingly, the hook latched onto Ron's room window, and the teen pulled it slightly, testing if it could hold him, before beginning the tedious climb. Shego watched from below, face expressionless.
Beads of sweat rolled down the side of Ron's face as he struggled to climb the rope, while trying to remember all the techniques Shego taught him. Finally, he made it to the top and heaved himself onto the window, sighing in relief. "I did it!" He said, extremely loudly. Shego rolled her eyes, as Ron climbed into his room.
The olive-skinned former assistant waited for about ten minutes, tapping her foot, arms crossed. "What's taking so long?! Rule number twenty-one: Be fast, be swift.." She hissed to Ron, trying as much as possible to be quiet. Finally, Shego spotted Ron as he stuck his head out. "Coming!" He replied. "..And be silent! And lesson number five: Never interrupt me while I'm talking!"
Shego watched as he struggled to heave what looked like a giant bag out the window. "It's stuck!" He announced after several attempts to transport the bag outside. Yet, he tried again, until finally, the bag was squeezed out the window.
Unfortunately, Ron wasn't expecting it to give way that fast, and lost his balance.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, falling to the ground. "OOF!"
Shego sighed again.
"Honey? Did you hear that?" A feminine voice said from inside the house. Panicking, Shego ran swiftly to Ron and pulled him(and his gigantic bag) into the bushes.

Tomorrow, you're going to commit your first -real- crime, and you better not mess up!"

"Finally. Now tell me what the plan is," Ron said seriously.
~
"An outfit?! THAT's it?!" Ron exclaimed. "Ssshhhh! Every villain needs a trademark outfit... Like me: the jumpsuit."
"Isn't THIS considered a trademark outfit? I wear it pretty often!" Ron said, pointing to his same old red shirt and baggy pants.
"Mmm.. Nah, you look like a total dork."

Soon, he finally spotted Kim. "Kimberly Possible! Thank god you showed up!" He exclaimed, beckoning her to come over. Kim approached him.
"What's the matter, Officer?"
"There was a break-in at this store..." Officer Hobble exclaimed glumly. "Nothing was taken except a black and red shirt, one black glove, one red glove, a pair of black and red pants, plain black boots, a headband with an expensive ruby in its center, which were all from the men's section, and a small black cape and a red eye mask from the Barbie section. But other than that, take a look..."
Officer Hobble led Kim inside. The teen hero gasped in surprise as she surveyed her surroundings. Clothes were thrown about, inside-out, with many folds. Most of them seemed to be from the men's section. "Weird... It's as if someone tried to try on every piece of men's clothing here..." Kim observed. "And one woman's outfit," She added, picking up a tight-looking, black jumpsuit adorned with flower drawings. Before she could look around more, the Kimmunicator beeped.
"Wade. What's the sitch?" She greeted.
"I just found out that there were two robberies: one the day before yesterday, and one occurred just today, about 1:00 a.m. Both happened in Middleton."
"Weird.." Kim commented.
"I can't dig up any more information, but the newspaper might help."
Kim approached an old man, who was reading the Middleton newspaper.
"S'cuse me, may I borrow this? Please and thank you..."
Kim viewed the front page. 'DESTRUCTIVE LASER STOLEN FROM MIDDLETON COLLEGE LAB', was the headline. It showed a picture taken secretly during the robbery. However, it was dark, and only the silhouettes of two people could be seen, creeping around the lab. A strange-looking shape was perched on one of the person's shoulder.
"What about the other robbery?" Kim asked.
"This is the majorly weird part: Someone robbed the Stoppable house," He told her. Kim's ears immediately perked up at the sound of the word 'Stoppable'. "What?" She asked, stupefied.
"The robber stole a couple of stuff from Ron's room. Clothes, some toys.. And even Ron's motor scooter was stolen. I'm guessing the three robberies are linked, but the question is..."
"How?" Kim stated, finishing Wade's sentence for him.
"I'll be right on it, Wade. By the way, please scan for fingerprints and/or footprints in all robberies. And scan for the location of the laser too, please."
"I'm on it, Kim.. I'll have the location up soon."
"Please and Thank you," She said.
"Monique, what do you think about all of this...?" She asked her friend, who stood beside her.
