1I don't own Kim Possible or Extreme Makeover.
As it turned out, all Ron had to do was flip on the Kimmunicator. Wade could see Kim standing over his shoulder.
Quite apart from now having someone else to talk to, Kim could also now bounce theories off of Wade. He seemed very interested in her ability to manipulate memories and agreed with her that she should be very careful with her powers from now on.
"But still, maybe the memories are the key to you coming back. I'll do some research on it," he said dutifully.
"Please and thank you," Kim said, and nodded at him as she signed off the Kimmunicator. She wasn't too hopeful of him finding anything, but she figured he was probably glad to be putting his brain to use again. He'd told her once that he got really bored without a mission every few days.
"So, Kim. Do you wanna go do something?" asked Ron, who was sitting in the Possible's living room with Monique.
Kim looked at him and shrugged.
Monique raised an eyebrow at Kim. "Come on girl, I know you better than that. Tell you what, lets go to Club Banana."
Ron rolled his eyes. Kim forced a laugh. "Monique, you know I can't. There's too many people in there. I could, you know, step on someone's foot or something."
"Girl, you must be dead to not have realized what's going on this weekend at the mall," Monique said, looking thoroughly pleased with herself.
Kim leaned forward. "What?"
Monique smiled, sending a sly smile towards Ron. "Extreme Makeover is finishing a house up in Upperton today. That's where everyone will be, girl! I can guarantee the mall empty."
Kim's eyes grew wide. "Really?" She was smiling.
Monique nodded smugly.
"What are we waiting for, then?" demanded Kim, jumping up and running to yank Ron to his feet. "Oh, you're such a spoil-sport, Ron," snapped Kim, seeing the disgruntled expression Ron wore.
Ron glowered at her. "You know why I'm mad."
"And there's nothing I can do about it. Please come to the mall with me?"
Ron shook his head. "I think I'll hit Bueno Nacho instead." He turned and left the living room.
"Oh no he didn't," said Monique angrily. "Girl, that boy just walked out on you!" She looked at Kim, expecting her to do something.
Kim stared after him for a moment, at a loss. Then a smile crossed her face. "Oh no he doesn't," said Kim triumphantly and stalked after him.
She caught up with him in the hallway. "Ron, wait!"
Slowly, Ron turned around. Suddenly, a look of great distress came over his face.
Kim was standing there innocently as ever...
"Not the puppy-dog pout!" he wailed, covering his face in his hands. Then without warning, Ron lowered his and started laughing. "The puppy-dog pout. I'd almost forgot."
"He's coming with us, Monique!" Kim shouted down the hall. She wrapped her arms around his neck and turned whisper in his ear. "Gotcha."
Author's Note: Thank you Extreme Makeover for providing a good diversion for Kim to get into the mall. Makeover just finished doing a house in my neighborhood, and I just couldn't think of anything else that would distract everyone... :)
