DISCLAIMER ALERT!!!: Here's where I stand:

Disney owns: Kim, Ron, Rufus, anything you've seen on Kim Possible, Ratigan, Basil, and anything you've seen in The Great Mouse Detective.

nacho owns: Syd Lipsky.

despyrit owns: Des, Rory, Aunt Jessie.

I own: Veeken, Neo. And no, I'm not referring to the Neo.

Moving on...


(Time Lapse to Kim's house that evening. Ratigan is staring up at the house, while the others are just staring at him.)

Ratigan: (gobsmacked) Wow. (glancing at Kim) Nice place.

(Cut to a general shot of the group and the house.)

Ratigan: (cont) It's strangely modern, but it's a nice place.

Kim: (slightly weirded out) Ah... thanks.

Syd: Let's go in before we get found out.

(Fade to Mrs. Possible sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee. Kim sits across from her.)

Kim: (sweetly) Say, ah, mom? Do you mind if some friends of mine stay over for the night?

Mrs. P: Don't worry, I took care of Jessie, so Syd and Des won't have any problems.

(Wavering dissolve to Mrs. Possible holding the phone at arm's length. Jessie can be heard screaming at her from the other end. Eventually, she shakes her head, and dials up a number on her cell phone.)

Mrs. P: (into cell phone) Rory, can you anethesize your aunt?

(A beat later, a groan of pain can be heard from the regular phone. Wavering dissolve back to the present.)

Mrs. P: So, where do you expect him to stay?

Kim: Who? Ron?

Mrs. P: (gesturing to someone off-screen) No, him.

(Pan over to the doorway to the hall. No one's there.)

Mrs. P: (off-camera) Y'know, the hiding attempt would be perfect, if it wasn't for one small detail.

(Pan down to reveal Ratigan's tail poking around the corner.)

Mrs. P: (off-camera; cont) Your tail's showing.

(Ratigan appears from around the corner and blinks.)

Ratigan: Is it that obvious?

(Fade to Kim and Veeken moving her bed from Veeken's old bedroom the old fashioned way: Lifting it, moving it a few inches, putting it down and resting a minute, repeat. Finally, they stop and sit on the bed.)

Kim: Okay, this might take a little while.

(The camera pans left to reveal Ratigan, leaning casually against the wall.)

Ratigan: Need help?

(Kim gets off the bed.)

Kim: Thanks. I guess this is something you'd be able to-

(There is a small flash of red light under the bed, which rises a few inches into the air.)

Kim: (amazed) help... us... with.

(She turns to Ratigan, eyebrow raised.)

Kim: Do you-?

Ratigan: I don't know how I do this, I just do it.

(Fade to Veeken's bedroom in the Possible household. Ratigan is sitting cross-legged on his bed, while Veeken is fluffing her pillow.)

Veeken: Well, you're going to be staying here for some time. (finishes fluffing) So you need to know some basics, if you're going to live here. #1-

(A sudden explosion shakes the building. Ratigan is slightly weirded out, but Veeken is complacent.)

Veeken: (cont) Explosions here are completely normal. #2: If you don't want to get caught by those guys again, you're going to have to listen to me, Kim, Syd, Des, and the others, 'kay?

(Ratigan smiles faintly.)

Ratigan: (amused) Well, it seems like I don't have much of a choice, do I?

Veeken: (lying down) Nope. Good night.

(The light turns off. A beat.)

Ratigan: I don't, do I?

(Veeken glares.)

Ratigan: Right. (lying down) 'Night.

(Cut to the exterior of the Possible household. A wolf howls from somewhere far off. Time Lapse to the next morning. Cut to Veeken's room. Ratigan sits up, stretches, yawns. He then turns and blinks.)

Ratigan: Ah...

(Veeken is wearing her mission clothes.)

Ratigan: (cont) What are you doing?

Veeken: Oh, this.

(Cut to a shot of just Ratigan, who flattens his hair a bit.)

Veeken: (off-camera) We're going to be meeting with the head of Global Justice today.

(Cut back to the general shot.)

Veeken: (cont) You have heard of G.J., haven't you?

Ratigan: Well, I did tend to avoid people of the law in case they bought them out, but, yes, I have.

(Veeken turns to leave.)

Veeken: Just come on.

(Fade to the group in GJ headquarters. Dr. Director is standing with Syd in front of a viewscreen {like in Ron Factor}. We see several stills of various anthro rodents hidden among the humans, noted only by the camera.)

Director: It is odd... There has been a strange upsurgence in the local anthro population lately. But, if what you're saying is true, then it would mean that the Rogue Dæmon capture society has resurfaced, which is, of course, impossible.

Syd: Impossible?

Director: According to the records, that particular group had its government funding cut off, when it was discovered that they had been using technology that was a bit... inhumane. You know, electroshockers, stuff like that.

Syd: Oh. (clutches throat) Eww...

Director: But, if the rumors are true, then we'll have to help Ratigan out on this one.

(Fade to some GJ office waiting room. Ron is reclining on the chairs, tossing a small ball up and down to himself, while the others {except Ratigan} are sitting around, being bored. Ratigan, meanwhile, is pacing back and forth. Syd enters with Dr. Director.)

Director: (turning to Syd) And remember to contact me when something comes up.

Syd: Right.

(They walk towards the others. Kim's Kimmunicator beeps.)

Kim: (answering) What up, Wade?

Wade: I just found Drakken and Shego.

Director: (standing next to Syd) But you'd better be careful, because there have been numerous anthro sightings in that area.

Kim: Couldn't we leave Ratigan at my place?

Wade: No luck. You'll just have to take him with.

Ratigan: (flatly; arms crossed) Lucky me.
