When they arrived at their destination, Kim and Ron found Mrs. Shelby staring up into a large tree in her front yard.
"Darling!" she called into the branches. Mrs. Shelby's voice cracked with age. In one arm she held a fat, orange tabby cat and with the other she waved frantically at a small figure up in the tree. A shabby, gray cat purred as it rubbed around her ankles.
"Mrs. Shelby," greeted Kim warmly, "I uhhh ..... see you've gotten a few more cats...."
Rufus peeked nervously from Ron's pocket and caught sight of five more cats lounging on the front porch, their eyes shining in the dark. "Uh oh," squeaked the mole rat. Definitely not good company for a rodent... He ducked back down into the pocket.
The elderly woman smiled at Kim. "Oooooh, the little dears just show up on my doorstep and how can I turn these precious creatures away," she cooed as she lovingly scratched the tabby's head. She then returned her gaze up into the tree. "Poor Flower came to me only a few days ago."
Kim and Ron looked up into the tree barely able to make out a huddled kitten on one of the top branches, mewing desperately.
Mrs. Shelby seemed obviously distraught. "She's only a baby! You understand the emergency, don't you dearie?"
"No big!" said Kim waving her hand dismissively. She reached for the nearest tree branch preparing to climb to the kitten's rescue when there was a tug at her shirt.
"How about I take care of this mission KP? You know, give you a break from saving the world and all that..." Ron looked super smug. "I think I can handle this one."
Kim crossed her arms over her chest and gave him an amused look. "Go for it Ron. Just don't strain yourself...."
With that Ron began climbing up through the branches towards the frightened kitten.
Nearby, in the shadows of the rooftops above, Shego spied on the scene through a pair of binoculars as she leaned over the edge of the hovercraft. Drakken sat next to her but was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
"Just think Shego! With an internationally known super hero working for us we can pass through any high tech security system in the world without so much as a suspicious glance..."
Shego glared at him. "Counting your eggs before they've hatched?"
"Merely planning ahead, Shego. Imagine the possibilities!" He didn't attempt to hide the excitement from his voice. "Once Kim Possible is under my control I'll have her reverse street signs, back up sewers, steal everyone's left shoe..."
Shego raised an eyebrow at him curiously, recognizing the quote. "Watching Lilo and Stitch again, Dr. D?"
Drakken blushed a darker shade of blue. "I was merely taking notes from an evil genius of similar intelligence..."
"Yeeeah," said Shego, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You know, you should really lay off the Disney movies. They'll distort your entire perception of reality." Shego returned to the binoculars and smiled, enjoying the sight of Kim's dopey sidekick being mauled by the ferocious kitten, his terrified screams audible even from the rooftop.
A few minutes later, Ron descended the tree, his face covered in red scratch marks and his shirt nearly in shreds, with a innocent looking calico kitten held tightly between his two trembling hands. "H-h-here you go M-M-Mrs. Shelby," he stammered.
"Ooooh!!" Mrs. Shelby dropped the oversized tabby and grabbed Flower from Ron. "What wonderful help you've been young man!" She hugged the kitten closely as it purred. "It's time for your tuna casserole babies!" With that, the old woman hobbled into her home, a parade of meowing cats eagerly trailing behind.
Kim turned to Ron concerned. "Are you ok, Ron?"
Ron leaned against the tree, recovering from the horrible ordeal. "Piece of cake... r-r-realy..."
"Thanks Ron," Kim said gratefully, realizing that Flower the man-eating kitten could have probably taken on an entire army of ninja monkeys any day of the week... She wrapped an arm around Ron's waist leading him away. "Why don't we stop over at my house and I can wash those scratches up."
Ron smiled, temporarily forgetting about his near death experience with Flower. "Turning into another Dr. Possible, KP?" Ron teased. "This is gonna start getting confusing!"
From the hovercraft above, Shego watched suspiciously as the couple walked away, arms around one another's waist. Something was... different. The two were unusually close tonight....
She gasped as the realization dawned on her. "I can't believe it! The undefeatable Kim Possible has succumbed to her rampaging teenage hormones! This is perfect!"
Drakken started at Shego confused. "Excuse me?" "Isn't it obvious? The superhero and the sidekick are a 'thing'."
Drakken still looked lost. "Must you be so vague woman!?"
Shego was growing frustrated and stuck the eyepiece of the binoculars in front of his eyes. "Even you cannot be that slow..."
Drakken realized Shego's point as he saw Kim give Ron a small peck on the cheek before they rounded a cornor. "Ooooh no!" Drakken laughed. "This has got to be the juiciest piece of gossip since Brittina started dating Nickey-N...." He was cut off as the hovercraft began to fly off at top speed.
"We've seen enough," smiled Shego slyly and she directed the craft towards Ron's house...
