"Ron?" Kim shook her best friend, hard. "Ron! Wake up!" Rufus fell out of
his pocket, snoring slightly.
"Wade!" Kim turned her attention to the Kimmunicator. "Ron's asleep!"
Wade's computer keys were clicking furiously. "Even though this is probably nothing...DESTROY THE POD, KIM!"
Kim lashed out at the pod with a karate kick, and the pod gave slightly. Another kick, and blood oozed out between cracks. With all her strength, Kim leapt up, and came down on the pod in an explosion of blood and an inhuman embryo that stared up at her with wide eyes...and it resembled Ron and Rufus!
"Ah!" Kim leaped up, away from the pod, and dragged Ron away. He blinked his eyes as if waking up. "Oh, hey, Kim!" he said. "What are you doing in my room?"
Kim slapped him. "RON!" "What?" Ron said, rubbing his cheek. Then he turned and saw the pod person. "Oh. That." He turned to Kim and said, "This is almost as bad as a giant monkey, I swear..."
Kim turned to Wade, and said with relief, "He's back. Wade, who's doing this?"
"I don't know, Kim," he said, pausing for a moment to say, "Feeling better, Ron?"
"Pod people," Ron kept repeating. "I was almost a POD PERSON!!!!!!!!!" Rufus swooned in his pocket.
Kim smiled affectionately at him, and turned to Wade once more. "Well, I think Ron'll be okay...and stay away from gardens from now on. Is anything...weird happening?"
Wade frowned in concentration as he turned his attention to the computer monitors. "There's reports of people not being themselves. I think the pods are spreading." Kim gulped. "This is just too weird. But now that the pods are spread, how can we stop them?"
Wade sighed. "That's the problem. I'm not sure. If we can kill all the pod people, that might work, but the other pods will still spread. You'll have to take them one at a time."
"One at a time," Kim said thoughtfully. "I always did enjoy a challenge."
"But KP!" Ron protested. "It's impossible!"
"Impossible?" Kim turned to him, smiling grimly. "Check my name."
"Wade!" Kim turned her attention to the Kimmunicator. "Ron's asleep!"
