"Your mom really did write the book?" Monica asked the next day.
It was lunch time, and Dawn, Monica, and Dawn's life long friend, Adam, were eating in the cafeteria in their normal seats.
The thing is, Adam wasn't there yet.
"Yep, I guess she did." Dawn said, "But, I don't think she should believe it or not."
"Hey, speaking of your mom, there she is!" Monica pointed at the door.
"With my dad?" Dawn wondered out loud, looking in Monica's direction, "What are they doing here?"
"High School Reunion Day, remember?" Monica reminded.
"Oh, yeah." Dawn said sheepishly.
"The Cafeteria," Ron said out loud as he and his wife entered the old school cafeteria, "Hasn't changed a bit since 20 years."
"I doubt that Mr. Barkin has changed." Kim smiled.
"At least they have a new cafeteria lady." Ron said, pointing the direction of the lunch line. Instead of the old lady serving the food to the students, there was a young student, serving the foods on the platter.
"Students work the cafeteria now?" Kim wondered out loud.
"Hey, there's Dawn and Monica!" Ron exclaimed, waving to the two girls. Dawn and Monica waved back.
"Ron, there's Adam." Kim said, pointing towards a boy with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing droopy clothes, "And, he's with a boy."
"Haven't seen him before." Ron admitted, studying the boy from a distance.
The boy had black hair, and hazel eyes. He was dressed neatly and seemed to be a bit taller than Adam.
When Adam and the mysterious boy walked over to the table where Dawn and Monica were at, something struck Kim. A line from her book;
"Hey, Ron!" I greeted.
There was a boy behind him. He had tanned skin, brown eyes, black hair, and was dressed neatly.
I instantly fell in love.
"Hi..." Dawn greeted sheepishly when she saw the boy.
"Ron..." Kim said worriedly, "Doesn't that scene look a little too familiar to you?"
"I don't know." Ron answered.
"Eh, don't know." Rufus squeaked from Ron's pocket.
"Ron," Kim said, "This is exactly what happened 20 years ago! Remember? It was a few days before the prom! With Erik?"
"Now you tell me!" Ron exclaimed, "Okay, so, what do you think?"
"By the looks of what's happening," Kim said, "I'd say Drakken escaped from jail. And something tells me that boy isn't a boy at all."
"A synthodrone!" the two hissed.
"Think we should warn her?" Ron asked.
"No," Kim answered, "We might be wrong. We'll wait a little longer. He might ask Dawn out on a date for the upcoming...oh no."
"The Reunion Dance!" Ron groaned, "Students are welcome!"
"You don't think..." Kim said worriedly.
"Uh-uh, no way!" Ron scolded, "Then again, maybe."
"This is all too obvious now!" Kim groaned, "Time's repeating itself in a new form!"
"Did it have to be our daughter?" Ron furrowed.
"Why don't we learn a little more about this 'boy'." Kim said, as the two walked towards the four.
"Hey, Dawn." Kim greeted her daughter.
"Oh! Uh...hi, mom." Dawn stuttered.
"I haven't seen you around these parts." Kim said friendly to the new boy, "What's your name?"
"My name is Martin." the boy answered, "I'm new here."
"Hi." Kim greeted, "My name's Kim. I'm Dawn's mother. This is my husband, Ron."
"How do you do." Ron smiled, "Adam, my man! Can we have a talk?"
"Uh, sure, Mr. Stoppable." Adam smiled.
"Have fun, you two!" Kim smiled as the two boys walked out of the cafeteria.
"Hey, what's this?" Martin wondered out loud, grabbing Kim's book.
"Oh, my mom wrote that." Dawn explained, "According to her and the people of Middleton, it's about what happened to her life about 20 years ago."
"20 years ago from this very day." Kim corrected, "Back then, I was only 18."
"She sure had one cool life." Martin commented, "But, it says the author is Kim Possible."
"Kim Possible is my maiden name." Kim answered, "It was the name before I got married. It actually shows in the book how I became soulmates with Ron."
"They got married in college." Dawn explained, "A year after this book, my dad asked my mom's hand in marriage. According to her, it was the most romantic evening of her life."
"You can't blame her, girl!" Monica exclaimed, "After all, she really can do anything! Including saving the world!"
"Monica, let's not get this started again!" Dawn groaned.
"My own mother said that your mom used to save the world." Monica answered.
"Your mom saves the world?" Martin asked.
"I used to." Kim answered, "But the villains don't turn up anymore. Dr. Drakken was my arch nemesis. He was the first villain I ever took on. You don't know how hard it is to fight a girl with acid gloves and 100 henchmen at the same time. Luckily, Dawn's father was there to help."
"That was the first time you fought a villain?" Dawn scoffed.
"That was almost 23 years ago." Kim answered with a smile.
"And what makes you think I actually believe you?" Dawn asked.
"Because I'm telling the truth." Kim answered, "And the others know it. I have old newspaper articles of past missions in my portfolio if you want real proof."
"Even the press knew about it?" Martin asked.
"Yep." Kim answered, "Although, just because I was famous, didn't mean I didn't have any rivals."
"Who was your rival?" Dawn asked.
"Well look who came to the reunion." a voice sneered.
Kim looked up in disgust.
"Nice to see you at the reunion, Bonnie." Kim said darkly.
"So, where's your husband?" Bonnie joked.
"He's talking with Dawn's friend, Adam." Kim answered.
"You really took it seriously?" Bonnie scoffed.
"Because I do have a husband." Kim answered, still in her dark tone, "He happens to be my best friend."
"You married the loser?" Bonnie laughed, "Ha! Well, what do you know? The cheerleader marries the weirdo!"
"Shut up, Rockwaller!" Kim snapped.
"Whatever!" Bonnie sneered, "I have to see my own husband. And my own daughter, who happens to be more beautiful than yours."
"Connie is sooo not more beautiful than me!" Dawn groaned.
"Looks like it runs in the family to hate the Rockwallers." Kim mumbled, as Bonnie walked away.
"You knew Connie's mother?" Monica asked.
"I met her in the cheerleading squad." Kim explained, "When I first met her, she was the cheerleader captain. That was in Middle School. Once I got to High School, I became cheerleader captain."
"No wonder you two are rivals." Dawn said, "You took Mrs. Flagg's spot in the cheerleading squad."
"Bonnie married Brick Flagg?" Kim scoffed, "Poor Brick. He's struggling through a tough marriage. He used to be a quarterback in the football team over 20 years ago."
"No wonder she's so stuck up..." Dawn mumbled.
"Actually, it's the mother that caused the stuck up part." Kim corrected, "She always thought that she was better than me and others. Especially Dawn's father. He wasn't really the popular type."
"Poor dad..." Dawn sighed.
"So, Martin." Kim said, "Why don't you tell us more about yourself."
"I just transfered from a school in Massachusatts," Martin explained, "Boston High. My dad's a single man, and he's working on this huge project that he refuses to tell me about."
That sounds familiar... Kim thought. But she continued, "What's your father's name?"
"I think it was Drew." Martin answered, "Drew Lipsky."
Thought so... "Where do you live?" Kim asked.
"We move around a lot," Martin answered, "But our present location is somewhere in the mountains. I think it's Mount Middleton. We live in a cabin there. Although, I'm usually home alone. I don't have any brothers or sisters. Not even my dad's assistant hangs around."
"You're home alone most of the time?" Dawn asked amazed, "Usually I'd go over to a friend's house when my parents are out of the house."
"Dawn, did you finish the book?" Kim asked, changing the subject.
"No," Dawn answered, "I'm just on Chapter One. I can't believe you actually came home late, just for a mission."
"Don't remind me." Kim frowned, "I had to knock down the tweebs' rockets with a frying pan."
"Tweebs?" Martin asked dubiously.
"It's what my mom calls Uncle Jim and Uncle Tim." Dawn explained.
Kim recalled the memory that was written in her book.
"Hey mom. Hey dad." I greeted when I entered through the back door of the house.
My parents looked at each other, then furrowed at me.
"Came in a little late there, Kimmie." Dad said.
"Yeah. It slows me down, when I have to pull the rip chord after I bail," I answered, pouring cereal and milk into my bowl, "But, Ron is such a baby about free falling."
"Kim, where exactly were you last night?" Mom asked.
Answering her question, I turned the kitchen's television on to the news channel.
"The Tokyo toy magnet was saved by teen hero, Kim Possible." the news reporter explained.
My parents smiled when they heard my name.
"That's my girl." Dad smiled.
"Oh, it was no big!" I said, "Except for the sumo ninja. He was pretty big."
"Sumo ninja..." Dad scoffed, "Never had to worry about sumo ninja's in my day... Or sumo anythingsfor that matter."
Then, a mini rocket blasted through the kitchen. Some milk spilled out of my bowl.
Me and my parents ducked and raised some of our objects.
I finally put my bowl on the counter, grabbed the frying pan, and back hand hit the oncoming rocket, smashing it. It then dropped to the ground.
"Nice back hand, Kimmie." Dad commented.
"Not yet, dad!" I exclaimed, as another rocket went flying. It passed under Dad's coffee cup, and headed towards me.
I back hand hit the rocket again, smashing it, and dropping it down to the ground, next to the identical one.
"TWEEBS!" I growled.
"Mom! Dad!" Jim exclaimed.
"Did you see-"
I cut off Tim and gave them a growl and a glare.
Jim and Tim looked at their smashed rockets on the ground.
They then glared back at me.
"You did this!" Tim cried.
"Why can't you play with video games like other little boys?" I complained.
"We do!" Jim answered.
"We use them for parts!" Tim added.
"That's true..." Dad commented with a smile.
"No rockets in the house, boys." Mom scolded, giving the tweebs their smashed rockets.
"Fine..." the tweebs answered dully, walking away.
"This is what happens when a Brain Surgeon and a Rocket Scientist reproduce..." I growled, crossing my arms over my chest.
Kim giggled at the memory.
"What's so funny, mom?" Dawn asked.
"Oh, just a little memory, that's all." Kim answered.
Then, the bell rang.
"Well, me and your father have to go and help with the reunion party tonight." Kim said to Dawn, "And you and your friends have to go to class. I'll see you later, okay? If you need me, I'll be in the gym."
As Dawn and the others walked away, Kim suddenly spoke up, "Dawn!"
"Yeah, mom?" Dawn asked, turning back to face her mother.
"Don't be so hard on Adam, just because you got a new boyfriend." Kim answered, "And, be careful. I've had many dates with boys like him. And it took a very dangerous one to tell me that the perfect one, was right infront of my eyes. So, be careful. I don't want the same thing happening to my only daughter. Just, still have some time to hang around with Adam, okay?"
"I'll try, mom." Dawn answered with a smile, "And, mom. Do you think that Martin's really the one?"
"I don't know." Kim answered uneasily, "But, your choice is up to you."
"Thanks, mom." Dawn said, and ran back to class.
When Dawn was out of sight, Kim frowned and took out her wallet. There was a picture of Kim and Ron with Dawn and Adam. The two youngsters were smiling, with an arm over each other's shoulders.
Kim sighed. "Oh, Dawn. I really thought that you and Adam would be perfect."
Tears formed in her eyes, "Just like me and your father."
