*Smack*!
"Uggghhhh…"
Kim fell to the floor once again with a thud. Shego was practically torturing Kim with a variety of martial arts maneuvers. While Drakken wasn't too happy that he had no part in the beating of Kim Possible, it didn't exactly hurt his feelings seeing Kim getting thrown around like a rag doll.
"Shego…" Kim gasped. "Let. Go. Of. Me. Now."
"Why? Watcha gonna do? Hmmm?"
Kim threw an exasperated punch at Shego but she missed by a mile. Shego initiated her flaming fists (is that what you call it?).
***BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
Drakken, who was falling asleep watching Shego and Kim, immediately jolted back up, "…Huh!? Wuh!?"
"What was that!?" Shego exclaimed.
"I don't know, go check it out!"
"You know, sometimes I wonder why I'M working for YOU."
*********************************************
"(I think they heard us.)" Ron whispered.
" No duh, Ron! …Wait a minute! …AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"(Yep, they definitely heard us. Wait…oh my gosh!! You're me! …And I'm you!!!!)"
"I know! I know! But what happened to the mind-switching machine??? It broke!"
"(I must've pressed too many buttons or something…who cares? All that matters is I'm stuck in your body now!!! I'm gonna be a mole rat forever!!)"
"……" Rufus (in Ron's body) shrugged. "Eh. No complaints here."
"(Of course not, you got the human body)!"
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with my body!"
"*sigh* (Of course there's nothing wrong with it…but do you really think Kim would consider going out on a date with a naked mole rat!?!?)"
"Okay, okay. Calm down. We'll find a way out of this."
"Oh it's far too late for that now…" came a voice from behind.
Rufus spun around to see who was there, "Drakken!"
Ron pulled on Rufus' pants with a slight tug.
"What?"
Ron looked worried and then pointed back at Drakken. It took a while, but Rufus finally got the hint.
"Where's Kim, Drakken???"
"Right beside you."
"Kim!?" Rufus spun around once again only to see Shego standing right in front of him with Kim as her hostage.
"Ahh! Shego! You BEAT Kim!? How??"
"A little distraction here and there and she was mine. *yawn* Kinda disappointing actually…"
"You let her go!" Rufus exclaimed in anger.
Drakken finally spoke up, "Oh we might decide to do that…for a price." Drakken and Shego smiled menacingly.
"You see, if you just- hey!!!"
Without any warning, Rufus laid a swift kick on Shego from behind and took off with an unconscious Kim in his arms.
"(Hurry Rufus!! She's getting up!)" Ron yelled from his former pocket, now his new home.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm going as fast as I can, but it's a little hard while caring a person!!"
Rufus and Ron lucked out as the helicopter pilot who flew them to Drakken's lair was still waiting in the chopper. Rufus hopped in as fast as he could.
"Middleton hospital! Now!"
"You got it!" the pilot signalled.
************************************************************
From the island, " Cuuuuuurse yooooooooouuuu……(tries to remember Ron's name)….bafooooooonnnnnnn!!!!!"
************************************************************
"(Whew! That was close! Great job Rufus!)"
Ron then turned to look at his best friend who was lying motionless in the backseat. Rufus inspected her, also.
"(I just hope she's okay, though.)"
"Yeah. She doesn't look too good."
"(…Wait a minute. You can understand EVERY word I'm saying?)"
"Duh. I DID speak mole rat before you could."
"(Oh yeah. I forgot…oh! And another thing: how did you pull off that super-cool kick on Shego?? I could never do that in my own body.)"
"Well remember that I could've done that in my own body, too. It's just that I've never been big enough to use it."
"(Oh yeah……wwwwaaaait. So does this mean that I keep all my nonsuper-cool moves that I had in my old body AND I get a smaller body to make it harder for me???)"
Smiling, "Yup, that pretty much sums it up. Oh! And I get to keep all of my super moves AND a bigger body to use them in."
"Aw man! (This stinks!)"
***************************************************
Almost fifteen minutes had passed by and the helicopter was moving at top speed. The hospital was almost in site.
"……"
"…..Is something the matter Ron."
Ron, who had been thinking the entire flight, looked up, finally, and smiled.
"(No, everything's not alright everything's great!)"
"Huh??? I thought you didn't like being a mole rat."
"(I don't but I DO like you being me!)"
"What?"
"(Rufus! You have the talent! You're great at everything! Until we find a way to switch back you can help me regain my social the status!)"
"What social status?"
"(The one you're about to create!)" Ron smiled.
"Um…since when did you care about what other people think? They're jerks to you anyway. Just leave it like that."
"(Yeah, but like I said earlier: you're great at EVERYTHING. You name it, you got it! Fighting, schoolwork, beating me at Bueno Nacho eating contests (raises his eyebrow in persuasion), chores, video games, g…GIRLS.)"
Ron looked at Kim in the backseat then turned his attention back to Rufus with a sly smile on his face.
"……Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh no. No. No. No! No way Ron! Absolutely not! How can you even think that!?"
"(C'mon, it'll only be for a few days at the most. All you have to do is impress her by pulling some of those slick moves of yours…y'know. Maybe make the basketball team, save a few kids from a burning building, show up Josh a few times…and we're in! Boo-yah baby!)"
"No! No boo-yah!"
"(Why not!?)"
"Why not!? Just look at her!"
Ron looked back at Kim, stopped…then looked back at Rufus.
"(Aaaaaaand?)"
"….*sigh* She's human, man!! Human! And I'm a rat! She's a human, I'm a rat! Humans and rats aren't supposed to flirt with each other!!!!"
"(All you're doing, Rufus, is setting me up so I can take Kim out when we switch back bodies-)"
"IF. We switch back bodies."
"(We will, don't worry. Just do this one huge favor for me buddy!! Please!! C'mon Rufus, I'd do the same for you!! …I think.)"
Rufus thought about Ron's akward proposition.
"Yeah but…I can't…..man…grrrrr….*sigh*….FINE. I'll try to impress Kim for you. Just stay nearby whenever she's around and tell me what to do."
"(Dude. I like, live in your pocket.)"
"Hey, I don't think this is the time for you to be sarcastic. I'm doing you a HUGE favor. And don't think I'll just forget it when I need help."
"(Don't worry Rufus)," Ron smiled. "(This is an even 50-50 partnership. If you play you're part then I'll play mine.)"
Making an icky face, "But what if she tries to KISS me!?"
"(Well uh…we'll try not to get that far. Gotta save that stuff for me.)"
Rufus rolled his eyes.
"You're one slick operator aren't you?"
"(Not as slick as you, Buddy.)"
Ron patted Rufus' shoulder with appreciation while Rufus looked the other way, trying not to glance back at Kim. He wasn't ready to look at her yet even though he had seen her a million times before. And for good reason…he would be seeing and hearing a lot from her in the next few days. All of a sudden Rufus didn't feel so well…
*Smack*!
