I don't own Tara, the KP TV show, or FM Static's song "Definitely, Maybe".
Chapter 2: Tara's Training
-Friday night-
Mr. North had spent a great deal of money replicating the Ferret Hole from his TV show (The Fearless Ferret). His money wasn't going to go to waste. The cave provided plenty of room for Tara to train herself to hone her new superpowers.
"Why do you need the Ferret Hole again, kid?" North asked.
"The school is helping with the Middleton Days Festival, so we won't have cheer practice all week. I don't want to get rusty," Tara answered.
"Okay, kid. Just remember: you still have to do the chores that you promised to do for me."
"Yes, sir."
North left without a word. He was a real slave driver. Tara wondered how Ron put up with him for so long. The subject of Ron brought a wide range of thoughts into her mind.
"I used to love him," she thought, "Do I still love him?"
Ron was always a touchy subject for her. In the end, she decided that, by the end of the week, she'd figure that out. She put thoughts of the best friend she ever had in the back of her mind and got to work…
-Saturday afternoon-
Felix Renton wheeled up to the Possible residence. He recalled the first time he came here. He was so worried about Ron, that he couldn't appreciate the elegance of the home. He rang the doorbell.
"Oh, hi, Felix," Kim said when she answered the door.
"Hey, Kim," he replied, "I'm here to talk to Ron."
"How'd you know he was here?"
"He has to have spent at least 60 of his life here. Heck, you two could get married and barely be able to tell the difference!" he said, intentionally trying to be loud enough for Ron to hear him from wherever he was in the house.
"Oh, he'd be able to tell the difference, all right," Kim said in an almost playful way, then she sobered and continued, "And I already told you that Ron is just my best friend, nothing more."
"Sure he is. By the way, you're turning a lovely shade of red, Kimmie."
Kim turned and escorted him to the kitchen, where Ron was.
"Hey, Felix," Ron said while high-fiving him, "My main man. How ya doing?"
"Great. Ron, I left one of my controllers at your house and I'd…"
He trailed off when he noticed the fourth person in the room. She was an attractive blond with blue eyes. Felix didn't know her, but she looked familiar somehow.
"Felix, this is Tara, and vice versa," Kim said.
"Nice to meet you, Felix," Tara said, extending her hand.
Felix took it and said, "Same here."
The two strangers then got to know eachother…
I met a girl named "Tara"
And she lived in the heart of America.
She liked black caddies,
Listened to Puff-Daddy,
Danced until her legs were sore.
She worked around the corner
At a dinner with a grouchy owner,
And her boyfriend's shady,
Dates another girl named "Katie".
He loves her, definitely maybe.
Don't think I can take it,
Wake me when it's over.
She's so far away,
I wish that it was closer.
I see her every day,
I'm to scared to go over.
I wonder what she'd say,
I barely even know her.
-Sunday afternoon-
Tara was at the mall when she bumped into Josh.
"I'm sorry. I've got to watch where I'm going," she said.
"No," Josh replied, "It's my fault. But at least I get to talk to a beautiful girl."
"Your don't look to bad, yourself," she countered, glad that she didn't have to worry about Kim when she was around Josh.
After they talked some more, Josh asked, "Hey, can I have you number? Maybe we could hang out some time."
Tara smiled and gave it to him.
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what she's doin'
When I'm singin' myself to sleep.
'Cause he's a faker,
So see ya later!
I wonder when she'll realize
That she means a lot more to me.
-Monday morning at school-
"Hey, Tara, you doing anything this afternoon?" Felix asked.
"No. Why?"
"Well, me and Ron were going to Bueno Nacho after school. You wanta come with?"
"Sure."
I saw you in the hallway,
When my last class was jest over.
It was Friday; school was out tonight.
Everything seems to be all right.
I said, "Yo. Are you going
To the party at the cove?"
She said, "He's picking me up at six again,
And I don't want to disappoint my boyfriend."
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what she's doin'
When I'm singin' myself to sleep.
'Cause he's a faker,
So see ya later!
I wonder when she'll realize
That she means a lot more to me.
-Monday afternoon at Bueno Nacho-
"…and Kim gave him this flying kung fu weggie," Ron said while motioning the action with his arm, "and he was all like, 'Help me, Shego. Help me.'"
"This Drakken sounds like a total moron," Tara said.
"He must be to think he can beat the Possible/Stoppable team," Felix said.
As she's starin' at his picture hanging in her locker.
She's showin' all the girls all the things that he bought her.
I saw what really happened all those times he went for water,
When we were at the movie theater watchin' "Harry Potter".
He had his hands on every single girl he laid his eyes on.
Hate to brake it to ya; he's a pylon.
And even when he kissed her,
He was lookin' over, starin' at her sister.
-Tuesday morning at school-
"…Tara, I was wondering," Josh tried to say.
"What?" she asked.
"Would you like to go to the Middleton Days Festival with me, as my…date?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Cool."
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what she's doin'
When I'm singin' myself to sleep.
'Cause he's a faker,
So see ya later!
I wonder when she'll realize
That she means a lot more to me.
-Wednesday morning at school-
For the um-teenth time that week, Tara ran into Felix. The had several classes that were very close to each other. Tara wondered how come she never recognized him.
"Tara," he asked, "You going to the Middleton Days Festival?"
"Yes, with Josh Mankey."
"A date?"
"Is their something wrong with that?"
"No. Sorry to sound so…against it."
Little did she know, Felix wanted to ask her to go to the festival with him.
I met a girl named "Tara"
And she lived in the heart of America.
She liked black caddies,
Listened to Puff-Daddy,
Danced until her legs were sore.
She worked around the corner
At a dinner with a grouchy owner,
And her boyfriend's shady,
Dates another girl named "Katie".
He loves her, definitely maybe.
When I heard FM Static's song "Definitely, Maybe" I immediately thought of the Tara from Kim Possible (FYI: it's a Christian band). Just as before, I'd love to hear any opinions on other powers you think Tara has. Chapter 3: The Plan will be coming in some time before January 24th (sorry to make you wait so long, but I'm starting classes this week). Until then, R & R Chapter 2.
