Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

"Norman! You wouldn't believe what I just saw in the sky!" Alison exclaimed to her boyfriend, as she ran out of the house, after leaving Kim back on the shelf.

"What? The weather changing?" Norman joked.

"I mean it, Norman." Alison frowned, "I saw a white witch in the sky! She looked just like my doll, Kim!"

"Alison, witches don't exist!" Norman corrected.

"They do so!" Alison retorted, "I just saw one! I saw her riding on a broomstick! She had a wand and everything!"

"You're making that up." Norman frowned.

"Am not!" Alison cried.

"Get out of my sight, weirdo!" Norman retorted, "It's over!"

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Alison swelled up in tears. She ran back to her house, sped past Wilson, and up into her room. She slammed the door behind her, locked it, took out her suitcase and backpack, and packed all of her dolls in it. She decided to hold onto Kim in her hands.

Alison escaped through the window, jumped off of the lowest branch of the oak tree, then made a mad dash to the forbidden forest, where the little kids said "The Witch" lived, since a cat never came back.

Somebody else from everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Alison rushed into the forbidden forest, with Wilson, Bonnie, and the police behind her. She past all of the branches and weeds, until finally, she made it to a clearing. A cabin and a vegitable and fruit garden was the only thing that was there. Smoke spouted from the chimeny, meaning somebody was home. The Witch.

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see that when you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fakin'
No, no, no

Kim looked outside the window of the cabin through a crack of the open curtain. Mimi joined her. There was a dirty blonde haired girl with a scared face and a frantic look. She only carried a suitcase, a backpack, and a doll in her hand. The doll was mysteriously unscared.

"Hmm..." Kim wondered suspiciously, "Who could that be?"

"Meow!" Mimi mewed, and ran out of the door.

"Mimi!" Kim called, and followed Mimi outside.

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you've become

Alison gasped when a black cat came over to her. It was the missing cat!

"Mimi?" Alison asked, but so did another person. Alison looked up to see a woman in a flowing haulter style white dress, knee-high boots, and a cone-shaped hat with ribbons at the tip, and ribbons to tie it onto her head. She had long, auburn red hair, olive green eyes, and dainty features. She summoned the wand she saw the figure in the sky holding earlier and steadied herself.

"Y-you're..." Alison stuttered, looking down at her stuffed doll, "You're..."

"Let me guess, 'The Witch'?" the woman frowned, "That's what everyone calls me."

"I was going to say Kim, but, I guess not." Alison replied.

Somebody else from everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You're lookin' like a fool to me
Tell me

The woman's expression softened. She approached Alison, and bent down to her level. She was fairly a small teen, carrying yet a heavy and large load.

"I've seen you around the town a lot." the woman said. Then, she noticed the doll in Alison's hands. She gently removed them from Alison, and studied the doll. She brushed back the lock of auburn red hair of the doll from it's face, to reveal the doll's dainty features. She couldn't help but smile.

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see that when you're
Actin' like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fakin'
No, no, no

Alison got dubious when she giggled. "I don't get it. You're supposed to be mean. And, what's Mimi doing here?"

The woman giggled more. "Mimi is my cat! She would occasionally get out of the forest and buy the supplies I ask her to buy with my money. Not that I have any left. I don't have a job, and I just grow my own vegitables."

"But, what about the winter?" Alison asked.

The woman smiled. "First, introductions. My name's Kim."

"Can I call you Lady Kim." Alison asked.

Kim giggled. "Sure. Whatever you want."

Alison smiled. "My name's Alison."

"Alison... Lockhart. Right?" Kim asked.

"How'd you know?" Alison asked.

"Like I said, I see you in town a lot." Kim replied.

"How?" Alison asked.

Kim thought of a way to answer. "Do you know, what this doll is supposed to be in general?"

"A White Witch." Alison shrugged, "What else?"

"There's you're answer." Kim said, "Now, why don't we talk more inside? I'll make you some soup, and we'll fix those cuts and bruises. Okay?"

"Okay." Alison nodded, "Hey, you're not a witch at all!"

"Actually," Kim said, "I'm a White Witch. I'm not a black one. I fought off black people."

Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be
You will see

"You're a racist?" Alison exclaimed.

"Not that black people!" Kim laughed, "I mean villains! I'm friends with a black person!"

"Oh." Alison sighed with relief, "Phew! For a minute there, I thought you meant the african-americans."

"Nah, they're my friends." Kim replied, as the water on the fireplace began to boil.

"So, does that mean that you also grow your fruits and vegitables during the winter?" Alison asked, as she sat down at the two seated dinner table.

"Sort of." Kim replied, transfering the cut corn into the boiling water with cream, "I grow indoor plants during the late fall, and then I harvest them by Winter."

"Then, what's the use of using magic?" Alison asked.

"I mostly use my magic to change the weather whenever it rains." Kim replied, "First, I clean the house, then, I fly out into the city and change the weather. Usually I can pick the next weather. Other times, it's random. It depends on what SpellSphere I get at the Jade Star. If I get a green one, that means it's random."

Somebody else from everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You're lookin' like a fool to me
Tell me

"How do you know all this?" Alison asked.

"I just knew how." Kim replied, stirring the bubbling cauldron of soup with a giant ladle, "Once I did my first spell, everything just came to me. Oh, my hands are full. Mimi, could you patch up Alison's bruises please?"

"Meow." Mimi nodded, and came back with a first aid kit.

"How does Mimi understand you, and you understand Mimi?" Alison asked as Mimi began wrapping a bandage around Alison's forhead.

"That's one of my special abilities." Kim replied, "Whatever Mimi says to me, is like english. I can hear it as english, but others can't. Although, unfourtunatly, it's not the same with dogs and bunnies."

Alison giggled. "That's funny. You remind me of my mom."

"Who is your mom?" Kim asked, as she poured soup into two bowls.

"Zoey Beatrice Lockhart." Alison replied, "She's the one who gave me the doll. But, she died in a car accident on my 15th birthday."

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see that when you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fakin'
No, no

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Kim frowned.

"It's okay." Alison reassured, "I know she loves me. And she probably saw you in the sky, because she told the doll maker to make this doll of you for me. I named her Kim because she looks so much like you!"

"Oh, why I'm flattered." Kim smiled, slightly blushing.

"Meow." Mimi mewed, after placing an adhesive bandage on one of Alison's scars.

"Want some soup?" Kim asked, "Corn Cream. My boyfriend taught me the recipe."

"Thank you!" Alison smiled, accepting the bowl as Kim sat down. She took a sip. It warmed her body all over and it tasted delicious. "This tastes great! Where's your boyfriend anyway?"

"Ron's teaching a Home Economics class in Lowerton Community College." Kim said, "I call him everyday, and he said he wishes he could come over and see me. But, he can't get out of work. Not even on weekends. Since he lives so far at the other end of Colorado, it will take him a whole day to come over. And he doesn't have enough time. We both used to live in Middleton."

"Why move to Upperton?" Alison asked with a mouthful of soup.

"University." Kim replied, "After I graduated, I needed a job, and hoped to find a big money job here in Upperton. But all jobs were already taken, and I couldn't afford a house even for rent. So, I decided to build my own house. I am Kim Possible, after all."

Alison giggled.

"So, during the times while I was building the cabin, I still had money from Middleton that my parents gave me." Kim explained, "I would give some money to Mimi to buy that night's food, and we'll campout under tents that I brought with me, just incase. Finally, that routine ended when I completed the house and garden, and Mimi stopped visiting the city."

"So that's how the rumour started!" Alison exclaimed, "Mimi was just your pet buying food to survive! Mimi is one smart cat!"

"Mew!" Mimi mewed in pride.

"So, what's your story?" Kim asked.

"Well-" Alison was about to start, until there was a rustle from outside.

"Stay here." Kim told Alison, and got out of her seat. She then walked to the door. "Mimi, make sure Alison stays in the house. If I need help, you know what to do!"

"Meow!" Mimi replied.

With that, Kim stepped out of the house, and closed the door behind her.

Alison ran to the window and peeked through a crack of the window.

"Dad and Bonnie!" Alison furrowed, "What are they doing here?"

"Well, well, if it isn't Kim Possible!" Bonnie sneered, "So you're the witch of the forbidden forest!"

"I'm not a witch, Bonnie." Kim said calmly. She was so calm. She didn't have her wand with her, and she didn't take her hat with her either.

"Then what happened to the cat?" Bonnie sneered.

"Mimi is my pet." Kim replied, "I would give Mimi money to buy both of us some food while I was building the cabin. I couldn't afford a rent or home, so I had to build one instead. And this place is off bounds, why are you here?"

"My daughter ran through this forest." Wilson replied, "What did you do to Alison?"

"I didn't harm Alison." Kim replied, "It's more like you were harming her. She was scarred in the face and she had a bleeding head when she came to my doorstep. Mimi found her wounded."

"Where is she?" Wilson demanded.

"If you're going to harm her, I'm not going to tell you!" Kim replied.

"Tell me now!" Wilson demanded.

"You've already wounded her heart, I'm not going to let you wound her even more mentally or even physically!" Kim cried.

"Tell me now, or I'll burn your cabin!" Wilson threatened.

Finally, Alison had enough. She rushed to the backyard well, fetched a pail of water, and ran to the front, just as...

"No!" Kim yelled.

A man was about to burn the cabin, until Alison splashed the water on both the man and the flame, burning it out before touching the cabin.

"Alison!" Wilson exclaimed. He was about to hug Alison, but Alison just pulled away.

"Lady Kim's right, dad." Alison said, "You did hurt me. You never cared about mom's death. You just went on right after the funeral by meeting another woman. You never listened to my own versions of mom's stories, you never cared to kiss me goodnight, and gave that job to a maid, and you had me believe in lies about mom's death. She didn't die in a car accident on purpose. And the doll proves it. It's magical. Mom saw the girl flying in the sky at night, on her way to the doll shop, and told the doll maker to make a doll version of her. That's why it's so magical. It's enchanted by mom's imagination."

"You're mind is full of lies, Alison!" Wilson cried, grabbing Alison and shaking her madly, "Snap out of it!"

"Leave me alone!" Alison screamed.

"Don't touch her!" Kim cried, pulling Wilson away from Alison, and hugging the terrified teen, "It's okay, Alison. It's okay."

"What are you, her mother?" Wilson cried.

"Isn't that your job, Mr. Lockhart?" Kim demanded, "For a father of a wonderful girl, you sure don't treat her the way Zoey used to."

"How do you know about Zoey?" Wilson demanded.

"Alison had told me all about her gift." Kim explained, "But I was there to witness the horror that happened to the wonderful woman. Alison is so much like her. Full of imagination and youth. Something that I lost years ago!"

"Well, too bad. She's not your daughter!" Wilson said, "She's not even going to be your daughter. Bonnie is going to be Alison's mother, and I am her father."

"You two have no passion for Alison, don't you?" Kim demanded, "Knowing Bonnie, she won't even care about Alison! You two just love each other but not your daughter! Can't you give her a second chance! You're making it sound like it's Alison's fault of Zoey's death!"

"It was her fault!" Wilson replied, "It was her birthday on that night, and the doll was made for her! It was the only thing that survived, and Zoey decided to give it to Alison instead of me! I've known her longer than Alison had, it's not fair! She never gave me a present!"

"Why are you being so greedy?" Kim demanded, "The reason she never gave you a gift was because you never excepted her first one: Love. That's the greatest gift of all! And you turned it down!"

"She could've given me a ring or a semi-precious jewel, but no!" Wilson replied, "She had to give me something that I can't even see or remember and something that will never last!"

"How could you teach this to your daughter?" Kim snapped, "She needs to know this! She already lost her love for something she believes in!"

"I wish Zoey never even told Alison those stories!" Wilson cried, "It just spoiled her!"

"It gave her confindence towards success!" Kim corrected, "With an imagination like Zoey's and Alison's, you can be a bestselling author or even an award-winning author! Your imagination can help you in so many ways! And I learned through every step! She can even be a songwriter! A Poet! The possibilities are endless!"

"Alison ran away from home!" Wilson retorted, "What is there not to like?"

"You and Bonnie!" Alison snapped.

There was a silence. Wilson gasped.

"You never cared about me, even when I was a baby and when mom was alive!" Alison sobbed, "You can kick me out if you want, but I don't care! Lady Kim, please say I can live with you! Please!"

"Why are you calling her Lady Kim?" Wilson snapped.

"Because she said I can and I want to!" Alison replied.

"I'll give your father a choice." Kim replied, "The choice is yours, Wilson. You can start over, and love Alison like how Zoey loved her, or, you can let her live with me, while you and Bonnie go on with your life with this guilt hovering above you for eternity."

Wilson remained silent.

Alison walked towards Wilson cautiously, then...

Slap! The blow came so quickly, Alison didn't have enough time to dodge. She got punched in the face, and knocked into unconciousness.

"Alison!" Kim screamed in horror. She bent down to Alison's aid. She then glared up at Wilson and the rest of the group. "A curse will be laid on your new family, Wilson Lockhart. Every child you get, they will find this place, and stay here in a paradise they never thought they can imagine. In a world where other orphans live happily. Where they have adoptive parents of their own, who treat them kindly. And the Family Fortune, will be scattered all over the world within two days at sundown. You will live poor, and your mental skills will be tested. All maids will leave. The curse will only be broken, when you have learned to love others than each your stepwife. Alison will stay with me, where it is safe and away from harm's way. You will never remember where the cabin is, but you will remember the curse that has been laid on you. You will have two days to turn the curse around, before it is permanant! Your first child is expected tomorrow! I will give you chance to change it!"

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see that when you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honestly, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fakin'
No, no, no

Kim held Alison's unconcious body in her arms as Mimi leaped on her shoulder as Kim stood up. Kim took one hand, summoned her Crystal Wand, and waved it in the air, illuminating the whole area with a white light, teleporting the intruders back to the city.
