Allysin Stoppable: A Kim Possible fic

Disclaimer: I don't own Kim Possible or any of the show's characters, which is a major bummer. However, if you don't recognize anyone from the show (I'm only using recognizable characters), then I made them up and they're mine. I'm not making any money off of this, and I'm not trying to infringe anyone's copyrights.

Author's Notes: Okay, I've spent the majority of my ff "career" writing JAG fanfiction, so I'm used to putting time and location before every location change, like they do on the show. Here, I just put location; b/c not putting it drives me nuts. I will, however, put a time change if I feel it is needed. Also, I wrote this back in 2003, and I just found it in the dusty corners of my computer... please, enjoy!

Chapter 1: Allysin Stoppable

MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL

"Hi Dad! I just got out of school and I wanted to remind you that I'm staying late and I'll see you tonight," Allysin spoke into the phone. "You are coming tonight, are you? No late night?"

"And miss seeing my angel crowned sophomore homecoming princess? Never! Nope, I told Gary that if I was seen within 20 yards of my office or the building, security was to escort me directly to the Middleton High football field. How's that?"

"Yay!" Allysin exclaimed. "Then I'll definitely see you tonight. I'm staying here to polish the routine, but I'll be done at 5, and I need to be back by 6."

"Thanks for telling me, honey. I'll pick you up at 5:15, we'll grab a bite to eat, and have you back in plenty of time. You've got your dress, 'cause we don't have time to go get it."

"Yes, Daddy. I told you that this morning. I've got the dark green one, and Mr. Romano let me hang it up in the yearbook room so it won't get messed up."

"Good girl. I'll pick you up at 5:15. See you there. Love you."

"Bye Daddy. Love you!" Allysin hung up.

OFFICE OF THE JUNIOR VICE-PRESIDENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, BUENO NACHO CORPORATION

Ron Stoppable hung up the phone, remembering when he was his daughter's age, and his now-deceased wife was running for sophomore homecoming princess. "She's so much like you," he said as much to her photo on his desk and to the air as to himself. "Boy, do I miss you. You're supposed to be here. Forever wasn't supposed to mean a year." And even after fifteen years, it still feels like yesterday, he thought.

THAT NIGHT - MIDDLETON HIGH FOOTBALL FIELD

"…That was Sydney Manke, escorted by her parents Joshua Manke and Bonnie Rockwaller. And now, our last finalist, Allysin Stoppable, escorted by her father, Ron," said the PA announcer. "Allysin enjoys cheerleading, kickboxing, and she eats as much Bueno Nacho as she can get. Let's hear it for Allysin Stoppable!"

Ron looked down at his daughter. "I don't care if you win or not, 'cause I'm proud of you and I know your mom is too."

"Please welcome last year's sophomore princess, Ivy Harmon, who will present this year's princess her tiara." Ivy waved to the crowd. "And this year's sophomore princess is…Allysin Stoppable!" Ivy walked over to Allysin, who was locked in a tight hug courtesy of her father, and put the tiara on, and gave her a bouquet of roses.

All of this took place before the game, and so Ron sat in the bleachers, watching the Middleton High team defeat its rivals, Upperton Senior High, while its fans were cheered on by the cheerleaders, one of whom was his daughter. He felt fifteen again, because that could have been her mother he was watching.

After the game, Ron waited for his daughter outside the girls' locker room. "Great job tonight, sweetheart. Are you hungry?"

Even though she had eaten dinner earlier, Allysin was always hungry after a game. "Yes!"

"How about Bueno Nacho?"

"Sure!" Her father may have worked for them, but that was no reason to damper her love for their food. Besides, Ron worked in an office, not in the restaurant.

BUENO NACHO

Ron and Allysin sat in a booth, eating Nacos and people-watching, something they had done since Allysin was little. Allysin picked up her Naco and crunched on it thoughtfully. "Dad, I've been wondering. What was Mom like?"

"Your mother was an angel. She was smart, pretty, kind…just like you. It's like you're her. Now that you're the same age we were when I fell for her, you're even more so like her. It felt like I was watching her out there cheerleading."

"How did she die?"

"She was killed."
