Peggi: Okay, I knowI promised a lot of updates but there's one slight problem. . .OUR INTERNET CRASHED! I'm using someone else's computer to post this, but hopefully I'll be able to use the library computers and stuff, because I have been working on the next chapters, it's simply a matter of posting them. Also, over the next year, I'll definitly be creating more wonderful chapters! Okay well enough rambling! Enjoy!

Chapter Seven

Kim plopped facedown on her bed. Dorika was taking Ron away from her! And she was so close to getting up the courage to telling him! Suddenly, the Kimmunicator began beeping.

"Hey, Wade, what's the sitch?"

"Well, I finally got a hold of the professor of the chemistry lab. He said that he had bought that oven originally from a friend of the family, it has. . .well the best way he describes it, is magickal powers. Basically, whatever you bake in the oven, you can use to manipulate people's minds. In other words, it uses a mixture of sodium pentothal mixed with other ingredients to hypnotize people into doing their bidding."

"Sodium pentothal? But wait. . .isn't that. . .what detectives use to hypnotize people to put them on lie detectors and stuff?"

"Yes. That's exactly what it's used for."

"So why would this professor want to hypnotize people."

"Well, that wasn't actually his plan, that is just what the oven is capable of. It is able to reach extreme temperatures, get this, in positive and negative numbers. It can go over 1,000 degrees and under -1,000 degrees. It super heats and freezes food to activate the chemicals. What he was going to use it for, was to test on lab rats, trying to find out if he could find a cure for pain. If people are hypnotized into not feeling pain, then while they're in the hospital doctors can work with them easier."

"But. . .wouldn't that be dangerous to do? How would they know if they were doing more damage?"

"Well, when someone goes into surgery, it would be easier to have them awake, but if they're awake, they'll feel too much pain. Pain killers put them to sleep. So if they could eat something like a cookie that would help them to not feel any pain, it would make things eaiser on everybody."

"So. . .basically someone stole this oven to hypnotize someone?"

"That's what it seems like. But it gets more interesting. The model that the professor bought has more uses than just hypnotism. In fact, there are so many uses to it, that even the professor didn't know them all."

"So who did he buy it from?"

"A teenager named Xander Trudeau."

"A teenager?"

"Yeah. Apparently this guy has been working on prototypes most of his life. I think it would be a good idea if you talked to this Xander guy. Got more information on this oven. If it's fallen into the wrong hands, there's not telling what damage could be done. I've gotten you a ride to Japan in one hour. Will you be ready?"

"I'm on it, Wade."

Ron and Dorika had just sat down with their popcorn, candy, and drinks, when the movie began. Rufus was laying on the top of the pile of popcorn, diving into it, and coming up with mouthfuls of popcorn. Ron had picked this movie out especially for Dorika. He had noticed in all of the romantic movies, at the scary part of a movie, the girl jumps into the guys arms, and it gives the guy a perfect chance to hold her. Sadly, that wasn't how it worked out.

"YAHHHHH!" Ron screamed, jumping into Dorika's arms.

He hadn't actually seen the previews for the movie, so he didn't really understand the full plot. The mutant zombies were dead people who had been mutated into monkeys. . .and were trying to bite off people's skulls for their brains. . .this wasn't what Ron had planned. . .this was. . .embarrassing!

In the lair. . .

Shego did a back flip, a high kick that would take someone's head off easily, and was about to use her green glow, when Drakken entered the room.

"Oh, practicing your fighting skills?" Drakken asked her, noting the swords that were now sticking in the scarecrow she used for practice-fights against Kim.

"Yep. How did you ever guess?"

". . .I have more stuff with which to build the invisibility ray!" he stated proudly.

"Uh-huh. So how is that coming, anyway?" she asked, not really caring much.

"Fine. It's working just fine."

"You have no clue what you're doing, do you?" she asked.

"No. . .not really."

"Well, don't worry, Dr. D. I have everything covered." Shego smirked.

Later that night, Shego stepped into the shower, letting the hot water run over her body. She hadn't had to fight Kim Possible in a few days now, and she was starting to get bored. At least she had a plan, though. She and Drakken would build the invisibility ray, but it wouldn't really have to work, it would just have to look good. It would be destroyed either way, and if it could possibly be used as a distraction, then things just might go their way. . .for once. Maybe having her little niece around wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.

Shego stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself, and a second towel around her hair, and sighed, as she looked into the mirror.

'What are you up to, D? Do you honestly think that the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach? I may act tough, I may be able to kick Kim's butt to the curb, but I'm still a woman. I may only wear black and green, but colorful flowers once in a while wouldn't be so terrible. But at least you're making the food instead of buying it. But still. . .' Shego sighed again.

She didn't think he'd ever get it. You can't just win over a girl like that!
