Sorry for the slow update, I have been really busy with the preparation of Thanksgiving. Not only that, but I have been over-all very busy. Thank you for being patient with me. Well, here's chapter 7. I apologize for its small size, but at least it's better than nothing! Enjoy.

AR:

The Shapeshifting Chick: lol Yeah, Bonnie SO deserved that! And yes, I am thinking about creatin a little crush on Ron's behalf. I thought it might be kinda cute. x

xXxKimPossiblexXx: Aw, thanks! I knew you might like it. :)

Jerry Unipeg: Wow! Cool! Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Midnight Moonfox: Yes… I guess Ron does have a slight crush on… Kimmie… lol

Jonakhensu: Yes… I actually knew that (even though I wasn't supposed to) Shego, for some reason, preferred that I refer to her Go Team glow as simply 'ray gloves' to prevent other villains from finding out about her past life as a super hero. My apology for not being completely accurate.

Classic Cowboy: Yes well, I don't really want to ruin too much for you, but Frederick might just live, which would mean much more disaster to come! And I shall leave it at that! Just keep reading and I'll keep it comin!

- Please do not forget to leave a Review. Thank you.

Chapter 7: Takeoff

The astronauts each glanced one last time at the planet they called home before setting foot inside of the rocket. They savored the moment before gathering up the courage to go inside the shuttle 'Atlantis'. Crowds of people were gathered at a distance to watch the spectacular, yet courageous performance. Among those people were Kim and Ron, wishing to wave farewell to Frederick. Then the heroic astronauts, one by one, climbed into the shuttle. As Frederick started to make his way inside, he spotted Ron amongst the crowds of people waving at him and yelling his name. Frederick smiled and waved back, hoping Ron could see him. Then he pressed the buttons on his device. "Good by Ron. I will see you soon."

Frederick took his seat besides the other astronauts in the shuttle and looked around frantically as if expecting something. Dr. Ann was sitting next to him. She turned to face the little simian and gently patted his head. "It's all right Frederick. You'll see your little friend again. Now make sure you have your seatbelt on. You know what to do."

Frederick smiled and strapped himself in. He was glad to know that Dr. Ann was with him. Dr Ann was a tall slim woman with long beautiful black hair and deep ocean blue eyes that looked like she was in her early thirties. She was a widow and her husband had died five years ago. It was amazing that she was still single. Because she had no children, she treated Frederick like her own and was his trainer when he first came to the Middleton Space Center.

"Alright, is everyone strapped in and ready!?" Mitchell R. Trout, also known as 'Fish', turned around like a captain on a pirate's ship and studied his crew. He had short blond hair that looked like an army boy's haircut and piercing gray blue eyes.

Jennifer Polly, who was seated next to him, made sure that everything was in check. "Yes sir. Everything seems to be in order." She was the second woman on board next to Dr. Ann. She had shoulder-length blond hair with a few dark brown highlights to bring out her chocolate brown eyes. Jennifer Polly, unlike Dr. Ann was married. She had two children, a boy and a girl.

"Alright then! Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take off!" Fish and Jennifer both began to flip some switches and began the countdown. "Ten!" The mechanical voice sounded. "Nine!" Frederick nervously looked around the shuttle until he felt Ann's hand hold his. This helped comfort him. He smiled and closed his eyes with all the others, as they all braced themselves for takeoff.

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

The shuttle began to shake as they got near to one. If it wasn't for the seatbelts, they would be falling out of their seats by now.

"Two!"

"One…."

Kim and Ron watched among the crowd as the shuttle 'Atlantis' was lifted off the ground and shot up in the air. A tail of smoke and fire followed it and remained lingering towards the bottom as the rocket soared upward. Jim and Tim, who were standing besides them, jumping up and down, "Cool!!"

"We should try to make one of those!" Jim commented.

"Yeah!" Tim agreed.

"Hika bika boo?" Jim lowered his hand for Tim to slap it.

"Hoo-sha!" Tim nailed his hand right on target as they smiled and laughed.

"Not so fast boys!" Mrs. Possible put her hands on both the boys' shoulders. "You know your father's rule about no rocket fuel in the house!"

"Aw man!" They both simultaneously exclaimed and lowered their heads in disappointment.

"Now come on kids!" Mrs. Possible waved her hand. "Your father is waiting for us by the car. Let's all go out for pizza and then go see a movie!"

"Sounds good to me..." Kim commented and followed along. Ron started to walk besides her with a saddened expression filtered across his face. Kim caught it and raised an eyebrow. "Ron, what's up? Why do you look so down all of a sudden?"

Ron let out a deep sigh and stood still for a moment a few feet away from the car. "Do you really think Frederick is going to come back? Do you really believe this whole thing is really going to work? What if it doesn't work and we all die? How can you actually continue to live your life like nothing's happening?"

Kim shook her head, not really up for answering all those questions at the moment and sighed. Then she looked up at him and gained eye contact. "Ron… Try to at least have some faith!" With that simple answer, she stepping into the car and closed the door. Ron stood still, watching the car, expecting something to happen. Then the window slowly slid down and opened, letting Kim poke her head out. "Hey Ron, you wanna join us for pizza and a movie?"

"Booyah!" Ron replied. "But first can we stop by my place to get some money and pick up Rufus? Rufus gets really upset when I go to dinner without him."

"Sure, come on in!" Kim opened the door wide for Ron. Then he climbed inside, shut the door behind him, and fastened his seatbelt. Kim reached over him to close the window when her eyes met his. She gazed at his deep hazel eyes for a few minutes as Ron did the same in hers. Then she shook her head and leaned back in her seat. "Oh! Sorry…. I was just… thinking about something…"

"Yeah… me too…" Ron replied, rubbing the back of his neck.

Kim scratched her head. 'What on earth,' she thought. 'What was I doing!?' Then she sighed and rubbed her eyes. 'I must be tired. Yes, that's it, I'm just tired…' Then she settled back in her seat and closed her eyes.

(three weeks later)

After days of circling the earth and checking up on the satellites, the spaceship 'Savior' came into view. It was indeed the largest spaceship ever constructed. Frederick was sound asleep on Dr. Ann's lap. She stroked his now combed fur and gently nudged his cheek, signaling that it was time to get up. Frederick sluggishly opened his eyelids and stretched some.

"There it is, the 'Savior'!" John Robert Litnesal called out, pointing to a spaceship in the distance. John was a muscular looking man with dark chocolate skin and brown eyes. He was in his mid-thirties and had plans to get married as soon as he returned from his mission. Hopefully, he would be able to fulfill his plans.

The shuttle neared the spaceship and the pilots took over. Dr. Tomas turned over to face Dr. Ann and sarcastically replied, "Now that didn't take so long now did it?" Dr. Ann laughed a little at his remark. Dr. Tomas was a very handsome man who was single as well. He had dark brown hair, almost black, and deep blue eyes, much like Dr. Ann's. He was just about her age as well.

"Well at least it's not as bad as our last trip to Pluto! Now that is what I call a 'short trip'!" Dr. Ann and Tomas started to laugh as a conversation started to take form.

"You got that right!" Dr. Tomas replied.

Frederick was wide awake now and smiled as the two started talking. He had been trying to set them up for quite some time. Hopefully all his hard effort would not go in vain. He wanted some how to repay Dr. Ann for her kindness towards him and hopefully, maybe bringing her a mate would be a good way to show his gratitude.

The only other human on board was Joseph, the Russian. He was a husky-looking man who seemed like he was in his early forties. He had short dirty blond hair and green eyes. Joseph often found himself sitting in the back of the spacecraft by himself. He was a loner and only spoke when he had to.

"Alright, everyone strap back in we're getting ready to board the 'Savior'!" Fish called out. Everyone obeyed his order as the huge doors of the spacecraft ahead opened.

Alright then, there you go! I guess I posted it up right on time for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'll try to make my next update soon. Review and Good day.
