Chappie 4

"Thanks Mr. Arnold. I appreciate it," Kim said walking into the cockpit.

"No problem, Kim. It's the least I could do after you saved me from that rock slide," he replied smiling at Kim. His smile faded when he saw her body.

"Kim…have you lost weight?" Mr. Arnold said with a worried look in his eyes.

Kim looked down at herself. She fought the urge to cry. In her eyes, she was still pretty fat.

"No. I have no idea what you're talking about." With that she hurriedly ran from the cockpit and into the bathroom. Why do I have to be so fat? Can't I just be skinny like the other girls? Look at Bonnie. She's so thin, I…oh. Kim had collapsed onto the floor.

"Kim? Kim. KIM! Ohmigosh, you're okay! You had me worried."Mr. Arnold said. Kim looked around and noticed that she wasn't in the bathroom anymore. She was on the patterned leather couch in the passenger area.

"W…What happened?" Kim asked stammering.

"I believe you might have passed out in the bathroom. That's where I found you anyway. Did you hit your head or something that made you fall?"

"No. I…" Kim fell back onto the couch, passing out again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim. WAKE UP! Kim, wake up!"

Kim bolted upright to find herself on the couch. She just had a dream while she was passed out.

"This is weird. Are we there yet?" Kim asked, obviously not hearing Mr. Arnold's question.

"I asked you if you were okay. You were passed out in the bathroom. Did you hit your head?"

"No. I'm fine," Kim said looking out the window. "This is my stop. I'll jump from here. Bye!"

Mr. Arnold watched Kim jump and finally pull her parachute. Something is wrong. Maybe Ron can talk to her. With that, he turned the jet around, calling Ron on his cell phone.

In Middleton…

"We have to get to her somehow, Wade. She's in real danger! How could you let her go?" Ron screamed into the Kimmunicator.

"I'm sorry, Ron, but it's her job to take care of us. Well, I'm sending a jet your way now. You can meet her there."

"Thanks." All of the sudden Ron's phone rang.

"Hello...Uh-Huh…She WHAT...thanks…yeah…sure, I'll be there." Ron hung up the phone.

"What?" Monique asked.

"It was Arnold. He said that Kim fainted on the plane in the bathroom." He blushed at the thought of Kim in the bathroom. He shook his head, getting his mind out of the gutter. "We have to get there as soon as possible. Wade, Arnold is coming with his jet. No need to bother. As a matter of fact, he's here now," Ron said glancing up at the jet hovering overhead.

Meanwhile…

Kim stumbled through the jungle towards Drakken's lair. She hadn't had any food inside her for long periods of time for so long that it was having a serious affect on her. She could faint at any given moment!

The cameras were picking up Kim's every movement. Shego was readily waiting until Kim walked through the door. She sipped her soda smiling. All of the sudden, she choked and sputtered as she noticed her body. Kim had gotten extremely thin! What is going on with her? I better show Dr. D.

"Dr. D! Get in here. Now!" Shego yelled.

"Coming, Shego. What is it? Is Kim Possible near?" he asked looking around cautiously.

"She is, but that isn't why I called you." Shego tried to hide the worried look in her eyes and the worried ness in her voice. Drakken saw right through it.

"Shego…are you okay? What's wrong?" Drakken asked.

"It's Kimmie. Look at her," Shego said pointing to the screen. Drakken looked just in time to se Kim stumble and fall, lying on the floor for a minute or two. She then shakily got up and continued walking. Kim was so weak that she had to prop herself up on a tree every now and then. Suddenly, she disappeared from view and they realized that she was slowly approaching the door.

"I can't fight her like this. She's too vulnerable," Shego said through gritted teeth. She realized that she was getting soft, but something inside was keeping her from defeating Kim once and for all.

Shego shook away the tears in her eyes as Kimberly Ann Possible stumbled in.

"Drakken, give it up! I know your plan and I'm here to stop you," Kim stammered shaking away the dizziness. She staggered towards Shego, ready to fight. Kim fell, only to be caught by her shoulders in Shego's hands.

"We better take her to my room. She probably won't be awake for a while." Shego glanced at Kim as her skin started to turn paler than before. "Something's wrong. Call an ambulance!"

Drakken ran off to make the call as Shego hoisted Kim into her arms. Don't die Kimmie. At least not from this. Look what you've done to yourself, she thought as a tear dripped down her cheek.

An man from the ambulance took Kim from Shego's arms and placed her on a cot, loading her into the truck. Shego climbed in beside her, with a blank expression on her face.

"I'll be back, Dr. D. I'm sure Ron will be here soon and you should be here to tell him where Kimmie is." With that blank expression still on her face, she closed the doors to the ambulance and they drove away.

Ron and Monique arrived just in time to see Drakken sadly walking into his lair.

"Where is Kim?" Ron asked frantically.

"You just missed her. She was taken to the hospital. Shego is with her." Drakken said looking down at the floor.

"WHAT! What happened to her?" Ron yelled.

"She was staggering in, ready to fight Shego when she collapsed. Then all of the sudden she started getting really pale and I called an ambulance. Shego went with her so I could tell you where she was. I can take you to the hospital if you like," Drakken said patting Ron's shoulder. He had never been this sympathetic before, especially towards Ron. He couldn't take it anymore and collapsed onto the ground, crying.

"Ron. Ron. It's okay. She'll be alright. Come on inside. C'mon, Ron," Monique said kneeling beside Ron, attempting to comfort him. All the while, she was just as scared as he was.

What will happen to Kim at the hospital? Will she even make it that far alive?
