How to Save the World

By Kim Possible

Saving the world sounds like a lot of work. Trust me—it is. It takes skill and pure intelligence to foil an evil mastermind's devious plans. Unless of course, that 'evil mastermind' is Doctor Drakken. A blind toddler could probably defeat him. Although I have to give it to him—he's harder to catch than he looks. I give most of the credit to Shego, his 'side-kick'. Some side-kick--Without her, I'm sure he would be in an insane Asylum in Nevada by now!

It's funny how teams work. If you take one person away, there's not a lot of chance that you'll succeed. It's like me and Ron. Everyone calls him my side-kick, but in all truth, I can't save the worlds without him. The researchers at GJ were wrong after they decided there was no 'Ron Factor'. Sure, I didn't believe it myself at first, but after awhile I realized it was completely true. I couldn't do it without him. And that's what being a team means.

I also couldn't do it without Wade. His intelligence makes up for the IQ Ron lacks. Of course I was skeptical about working with Wade at first—who wouldn't be? A 10 year old boy helping me to save the world? Yeah right. But somewhere along the way, he's become part of the team too. I have yet to see him in person yet. But, who knows? Maybe one day I will. I've never met anyone (Besides Rufus, after being zapped by that Intelligence ray) that can whip up gadgets like him. Be it laser ring, night vision goggles, acid lip gloss, or the grappling hook [Although he has yet to invent one that Ron can't lose his pants with], his inventions rock. Not to mention help me beat the baddies!

Here's another pointer—if you want to save the world, and your villains seem to keep coming back, you have to get to know them. I know it sounds crazy, but it works! Take Duff Killigan—we always know what he's going to come after us with. Exploding golf balls—his specialty. Knowing what weapon they're going to use can be very handy. Monkey Fist—Ron's own personal Arch Foe—always seems to have his monkey ninjas somewhere in the shadows. His main weapon? Tai Shing Pek Kwar, also known as Monkey Kung Fu. Although I may not know Monkey Kung Fu (And that is ooh-kay.), Ron does! That combined with his deep rooted fear of monkeys, makes him the prime target of Lord Monty Fisk.

Drakken's plans? Always taking over the world. As you can infer, his plans have yet to work. Señior Senior Sr.'s plans? To turn Señior Senior Jr. into a supervillian, which has also yet to work. Have you heard his 'evil' laugh yet? He is soo not supervillian material. You have to give them props for trying though. Then again, they'd still be high class billionaires that sucked out Europe's power on accident if Ron hadn't let his arability to speak before thinking get the best of him. Spinning tops of doom? Bad idea. But, hey—you learn from your mistakes.

You also need to have a way to get from place to place. It's not like you can ride your bike [Or an elephant, Ron] from Middleton all the way to South Africa! Wade always hooks us up for rides—usually with people who I've saved in past missions. Sometimes though, he calls in people who owe him favors—and those rides turn out to be with things like robot propelled airplanes flying at over 300 miles an hour! Of course, I guess it's better than back-packing your way to the Sahara Desert...

Let's recap—to save the world you must

1. Have skill and know-how. It helps if you know any kinds of kung fu, karate, or gymnastics. Especially if you're fighting Shego—that girl's got some moves! Not counting her plasma shooting gloves. Yeah—avoid those.

2. Have a team. You can't save the world alone! Having a team helps you in many aspects. They cheer you on, motivate you, and most importantly—help you defeat the bad guys!

3. Have gadgets—unless of course you have super powers! But hey, I'm no super girl. Just an ordinary crime fighting teenager. Well—okay. I'm not that normal...but, where would I be without all my fantastic gadgets?

4. Get to know your baddies. You need to figure out their weak spots, predict their next move, know what weapon they're going for, and you definitely need to figure out their plan! Unless of course, they're going by the rule book, and reveal to you their evil plan while you're dangling over a pool of hungry sharks.

5. Have a way to get there—and no, asking the girl whose kids you babysat last night to drive you to Japan isn't going to cut it.

Got the picture? Saving the world isn't just some past time that you can do instead of taking piano lessons (Although it got Ron out of guitar lessons. He sure could use them though!). It takes a lot of time, patience, and skill. You have to sacrifice a lot of things, like cheerleading practice, hanging out with the family, and Latin Class (Oh darn.) But, it's all worth the while.

Saving the World—it's what I do.

A/N—I don't know where this idea came from, but—it practically wrote itself! I REALLY hope this format works...I have it centered and italicized, and it better work! There will be more to come of this, a, "Take Over the World" one by Drakken, one by Ron, one by Wade, one by Monique, one by Shego, and possibly others! Remember to reply! Much love!
