"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty!"

"Huh?" Kim awoke the next morning in a small white bed in a cabin. This was definatly not the Stoppable's Residence.

"This isn't your house when I last saw you, Ron." Kim said, looking around the room.

"I moved out of my previous home after I had a month long arguement with my parents." Ron answered, preparing food on a small kerosene stove, "I managed to build a large cabin in the fields of the Middleton countryside. After all, we're in the state of Colorado."

"Do you miss them?" Kim asked, getting out of bed.

"Not my parents." Ron answered, pouring milk into two glasses, "My uncle. Even though he died last month, he was the only trusted family I had. He told me legends about the floating kingdom of Chrystallia. According to him, he saw the kingdom. When he told everyone about his discovery, no one believed him. They all thought he was crazy. Even my parents. I was the only one who believed him."

"Why only you?" Kim asked as Ron gave Kim a plate of eggs, bacon and toast.

"I always believed in my uncle's stories." Ron answered, sitting down across from Kim at the small wooden table, "When he told me the legends of Chrystallia, I just had to listen and believe. Also, I saw proof. There were drawings and photos of the kingdom. And how you floated down from the sky last night, now I believe in anything."

"I was...floating?" Kim wondered out loud, "I thought I was pitfalling."

"That necklace got you out of your trouble." Ron answered, "And according to my uncle's proof, the people of Chrystallia created those necklaces out of falling stars. They called them Starstones."

"That's the name of my necklace." Kim said, taking off the necklace and giving it to Ron to examine, "It's called the Starstone Crystal Pendant. My nana gave it to me before she passed away when freshman year started at College."

"Weird." Ron said, studying the pendant, "I think my theory's right."

"I think so too." Kim said. Then, a limo stopped on the trail just outside the cabin.

"A limo?" Ron wondered out loud. Kim and Ron ran up to the window to see who was in the limo. Kim gasped when she saw a familiar man step out of the limo's passanger seat.

"Kennedy." Kim gasped. She hid behind Ron's back.

"Who's Kennedy?" Ron asked.

"He's the one who kidnapped me six years ago." Kim whispered, "We gotta get out of here! They won't destroy this place, don't worry."

Then, Ron brightened up. "I have an idea..."

"Find Kimberly Ann now!" Kennedy ordered.

Just as a soldier was about to open the garage door of the cabin, Ron burst through the door first with a boy close behind him. Little did the authorities know that it was really Kim in disguise.

Kim was dressed in a white t-shirt with a denim jacket, jeans, and boy shoes. A baseball cap hid Kim's long hair.

"Sorry!" Ron cried, "I'm really late for work!"

"Hold it right there, boy!" the soldier cried.

"Yeah?" Ron skidded to a stop and hid Kim behind him.

"Have you seen a girl with long red hair?" the soldier asked, "With green eyes?"

"Uh..." Ron pretended to think thoughtfully, "Yeah! About six years ago. Haven't seen her since, okay, now I'm really late for work so I'll be going now! Bye! C'mon, Cal!"

Kim automatically knew that was her disguised name. She ran down the trail with Ron, one hand holding Ron's hand, and the other holding her cap in place.

"General!" another soldier called who came back outside from the garage, holding up a white linen dress, "The girl's in disguise!"

"Disguise, eh?" the General smirked, "Well, let's just see if it will last long."

"Mr. Stoppable!" a student called to Ron.

"Kelly!" Ron stopped in his tracks, making Kim almost bump into him.

"Mr. Stoppable, who's that with you?" Kelly asked.

Ron was about to answer until...

"There they are!"

"Okay, let's run!" Ron cried, grasping Kim's hand.

Kim tripped, making the cap fall of and her long hair unravel.

"Oh no!" Kim cried.

"There's the girl!" Kennedy cried, "Get her!"

Kim quickly grabbed the cap and began running as fast as she can through the streets of Middleton.

Kennedy blasted gunshots after the two running adults. Kim screamed when one shot barely missed her.

"Hurry!" Ron cried, as the two neared Middleton Space Center.

"Dr. Possible!" Ron cried, running into Dr. James Possible's lab.

"Ronald, what are you doing here?" James asked, "And who's your friend there?"

"Dad, it's me!" Kim exclaimed, taking the hat off.

"Kimmiecub?" James exclaimed with shock, "Oh, thank goodness, you're okay!"

"Dad!" Kim ran into her father's arms.

"What happened to you the past six years?" James asked his daughter.

"I got kidnapped by the authorities." Kim answered.

"The authorities?" James furrowed, "But, they're your allies!"

"I have something that's rightfully mine that they want!" Kim explained, "It's the necklace Nana gave me before she passed away."

"The Starstone Pendant?" James wondered out loud, "Wonder why they would want that?"

"To find Chrystallia, that's why!" Ron cried, "The Starstones are the only key to finding Chrystallia! If they get their hands on it, then they're gonna destroy the planet Earth with Chrystallia's powers!"

Kim screamed when there was an explosion from the door.

"We got them!" a soldier cried.

"Hey!" Ron cried as two soldiers grabbed Kim by the arm.

"Let my daughter go!" James demanded.

"Get off me!" Kim bit one of the soldier's arms, making him yelp with pain. The Starstone began to glow brightly.

"Gaaaah!" the soldiers cried. The remaining soldier let go of Kim's wrist, being blinded by the light.

"Kim!" Ron cried, helping Kim stay on the ground.

"What happened?" Kim asked frantically.

"You released the powers of the Starstone!" Ron exclaimed, "I knew it! I was right! Chrystallia does exist! My uncle was right! Only the existance of Chrystallia could've helped you trigger that energy!"

"Ronald! Kim!" James called at the exit, "Let's go!"

As James ran out of the exit first, the soldiers blocked the way of Kim and Ron.

"Kim!" James cried.

"Dad, just go!" Kim cried, "I can take care of myself! Tell mom and the twins that I'm alive! Hi-ya!"

Kim kicked a charging soldier, knocking him out.

But the two were out numbered.

"Don't hurt her!" Ron cried, defending Kim. A Government Agent hit Ron with his gun from behind on his nerve, knocking him out cold.

"Ron!" Kim cried, falling to Ron's aid, "What did you do to him!" Kim screamed as the Government Agen did the same to Kim. Both adults were knocked out cold.

"Kennedy, we got both of them." the General announced.

"Well done." Kennedy said.

What will happen when they arrive back where Kim was first kidnapped? Find out in Chapter Three: I Can Save You. Featuring the song, "I Can Save You" by Michelle Branch. Until then, see ya! ;-)
