Cuddle Buddies and Courage

"Drakken is SO gonna pay…"

"Kim…" Her Mom tried to interrupt.

"If he thinks that he can use someone from OUR family…"

"KP…" Ron also tried to stop her train of thought.

"He's got another thing coming! That… that… BASTARD!" She slammed her fist on the table making plates jump.

"Kimmie!" Her Mom said, astonished at her daughters word usage.

Kim immediately knew what she had done, and slapped her hand over her mouth uttering a barely audible "eep".

"Sorry, Mom. It's just… it's just…"

"I know, Kim. We're all worried about little Joss. We just can't jump to…"

"C'mon Ron!" Kim quickly said, cutting her Mom off. "We are so out of here."

Kim grabbed her boyfriends hand, and launched him out of the chair as she ran out of the house, all the while keying the Kimmunicator and asking Wade to set them up a ride as soon as last Tuesday. Her Kim-ness was in full force.

In 30 seconds, a remote controlled vehicle screeched to a halt in front of the two as they stood near the curb. It was a small SUV, not un-like Sadie, but a little different. This one was all black with a simple KP logo on the hood, and one on the spare tire cover on the back. Kim and Ron looked at each other, surprised.

Both doors flung open, and Wades voice could be heard from inside. "Get in guys. And no, Ron, it's not a ghost car."

Kim entered the driver's side, and Ron sat in the passenger seat. "Never gonna let me live that down, are you guys?"

"This SO rocks, Wade! When did you have time to do this?" The two could see Wade on a small screen mounted on the dash where a radio would be.

"Just one of my little 'pet projects' I've worked on in my spare time when I get bored. Right now all it's good for is carrying things. I don't have any of the 'extras' installed yet. But it will get you to the airport, where there's a Military chopper waiting to take you to Drakken's lair. You wanna drive Kim, or should I?" Wade held up a joystick so they could see.

"That's OK Wade, I'll drive." The two put on their seat belts, and took off to the airport.

Ron tried to give his opinion one more time. "Kim, I really think we should…"

"Quiet, Ron. I need to concentrate while I'm driving through town doing 100 miles per hour!" Ron immediately shut up and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the "panic" handle mounted on the dash.

"…Do you really think Possible and the buffoon will be able to figure out what we've done?" Drakken said to Shego with a concerned look on his face.

"It's the best way to get her here. Believe me, take something like this and she should be here in 3, 2, 1…"

"Que the Good-guys." Ron said, as he and Kim were standing in the open window about 20 feet above the floor. They had heard the last part of the conversation.

Both Kim and Ron then shot grappling hooks into the far wall, and swung down to the floor in front of Shego and Drakken. Kim landed perfectly in a fighting stance, and Ron, well, Ron being Ron, slid on his stomach into a stack of empty boxes. He immediately jumped up into a fighting stance, but couldn't see anything, as one of the boxes was still over his head. He quickly pulled it off, styro-foam peanuts clinging to him from static.

"Awww, Mannn!" He said as he quickly brushed the pesky packing material off of his face, hair, and clothes. He then went back to his fighting stance.

"I know she's here, Drakken!" Kim said feeling the anger flow through her body. "So where is she?"

Drakken had an amused look on his face, and replied. "Oh, 'She' is in a safe place.

Kim never noticed the look on Drakken's face, and launched herself at him. Shego quickly stepped between the two, lighting up her hands.

"C'mon, Princess…" Shego said menacingly.

Immediately Kim went into a sort of home-run style slide, and kicked out at Shego's legs causing her to crumple to the floor. Kim ended up right beside Shego's head, and quickly brought her elbow down onto her chin, snapping Shego's head sideways, and making her go loopy.

Kim then quickly jumped up right in front of Drakken, and performed a round-house kick into his mid-section, throwing him about 10 feet backwards. Before he even stopped sliding, Kim had jumped on top of him and had already hit him in the face with her right hand, breaking his nose. Standing up, Kim took hold of his lab coat, and held him off the floor, ready to land another hit with her right.

Shego had just then shook the effect of the elbow strike off, and was charging towards the two, intent on helping Drakken. She never noticed Ron come up behind her and wrap his arms around, pinning her arms to her front with her hands right by her face, in a bear hug.

"Good move, Ron." Kim said, giving him a wink. She knew Shego couldn't light up her hands when they were so close to her own face.

"Now where is she, Drakken?" Kim said with teeth clenched. She lifted him closer to her face, her right hand balled into a fist. Drakken shakily pointed towards a locker on the wall to his left.

"You put her in a locker?" Kim yelled, throwing Drakken down on the floor hard. She ran to the locker, and flung the doors open, almost tearing them off the hinge. Then something happened that Kim would have never expected in a million years. A Panda-roo fell out of the locker, and landed at her feet.

"Wha…?" She stormed back to Drakken, who had just stood up. She grabbed his lab jacket again, near the throat, and pulled his face to within inches of hers. She spoke with clenched teeth again. "Where is my Cousin, Drakken!"

"Huh…?" It was Drakken's turn to be confused. "Y… You mean, you didn't even know we, I mean you thought…?"

Kim was still breathing hard into his face, her anger starting to turn to confusion, but not letting facts sink in yet.

Ron had released Shego, seeing that she wouldn't be a threat anymore as she had doubled over in laughter. Ron walked over to the Panda-roo, picked it up and turned it over. "Kim, This is Panda-roo number Zero Zero One."

"What?" Kim said, as she shoved Drakken backwards, causing him to stumble over a small box, and fall into a heap. Shego was rolling on the floor in un-controllable laughter. Kim walked over to Ron's side. She began to look atthe Panda-Roowith a sort of reverence.

Finally Shego calmed down a bit and was speaking between laughs. "Oh, this is just… (laughing) too good! The… (laughing) Princess thought we, I mean (laughter) Drakken had taken (laughter again) your cousin!" Finally she calmed down to just snickers.

"You mean, you thought we had resorted to, kidnapping?" Drakken said, as he stood up from his ungainly fall over the box. "Kimberly Anne, we would NEVER do something like that! I was just going to use the ruse of the kidnapped Panda-roo, number one I might add, to get you to come here and fall into a trap! I am deeply hurt by your accusation!"

"Drakken, Drew…" Kim started. "I… I'm sorry. I did it again, didn't I?" Ron stepped up beside his girlfriend as she looked at him.

"You sure did, KP."

"Why didn't you tell me I was jumping to conclusions again?" Kim asked Ron.

"Well, I, I mean, WE, tried. But we couldn't get a word in edge-wise."

The two walked out of Drakkens lair, talking back and forth, Ron carrying the Panda-roo. At least they would get it back to the collector's museum from where it was taken.

After Kim and Ron left the building, Shego was holding an ice bag on Drakken's broken nose. "Note to us, Shego. NEVER mess with their families." Shego just nodded her agreement. They both then agreed that Team Possible had never been so brutal as when they thought a member of their family had been hurt.

Jocelyn Possible finally worked up a little courage. She had been crying for most of the night, but had finally fallen asleep. She awoke when some light from the morning sun had sifted through a high window in the dark room.

Then she heard the jingling of some keys, and the door opened. Joss narrowed her eyes, ready for anything. A young girl, about Joss's age, in a dark red ghi, stepped into the room carrying a tray of food. "This is for you." The young ninja said, setting the tray down on the floor.

Joss stood her ground, not moving. "Where am I!" Joss yelled at the small warrior, making her cringe.

"You are safe. No harm will come to… oof!" The young ninja was taken off guard and doubled over as Joss had launched herself at the ninja, kicking her in the stomach. She then grabbed the tray, tossing the food off, and smacked the young ninja on the head with it, knocking her unconscious.

"I did it, I did it!" Joss thought in her head, as she peered out the open door. She then took off running, frantically looking around, but not sure where to go.

Seeing another door, Joss slowly opened it, peering out. It opened to the outside. The only thing on Jocelyn Possible's mind was to get out of there. She had a terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen if she stayed where she was.

Opening the door, Joss then scampered to the next building, and ducked in. Still not sure where she was, Joss started to open doors, looking for a good hiding place. After seeing some equipment in a few rooms, and some beds, she realized she was in some sort of clinic or hospital. Some equipment looked familiar from when she had visited her mom's veterinary clinic in her hometown.

She opened another door, and ducked in, and quietly sobbed into her hands at the thought of her mother. Her parents had to be worried sick about her. Then she realized she wasn't alone. Joss heard a faint beeping of some equipment, and in the dim light could see a form lying on a bed. Curious, she walked over to the form, and noticed it was hooked up to monitors, and an IV was attached to an arm.

She absently touched the hand of the old man that was lying there. He had a kindly face, but his eyes were closed. His white hair and beard looked un-trimmed for quite some time.

Suddenly Joss stood ramrod straight, her hand staying on the old mans, and she had a blank look on her face. She heard a voice in her head.

Please, do not be afraid, child. My name is Sensei. I see that your name is Jocelyn Possible. A cousin to Kim Possible. I am Ron's teacher. Do you understand?

Y… yes, I do.

You may be in grave danger, but you must stay here, or it may become worse. Do you understand?

Yes, I believe so.

Good. First, I must ask a favor of you.

OK…

I am being kept in a chemically induced coma. It is only because you have touched me, that I can communicate with you. Please remove the needle from my arm, and then tape it back so it looks like it is still attached. I will not be conscious for a while, but you must go and try to hide. Be wary of the red headed boy. He is very dangerous. Do you understand?

Yes, Sensei, I understand.

Good. Now please do as I have asked.

Joss then slightly slumped over as the mind connection disappeared. She quickly removed the needle, and re-taped it as the old man had asked. She then leaned over, and gently kissed the old man on the cheek. Somehow, instinctively she knew how important this old man was.

Joss quietly opened the door that Sensei was in, and looked up and down the hall. Seeing no one, she crept to the exit door, and went outside. Sneaking along the wall, she turned a corner and bumped into someone. Looking up to see who she had bumped into, immediately her hand went to her mouth and she muttered, "Oh no." The man she bumped into had red hair.

Daichi was furious. He grabbed Joss by the arm, and dragged her to the central plaza. "Centurion Four!" He bellowed.

The young ninja that Joss had hit over the head with the tray stumbled out of the building where Joss had been held, with her hand on her head. "I… I'm sorry, Master. She surprised me."

"She will not surprise you again." Daichi said with a cold stare, and struck the young girl across her throat, causing her to fall over, unable to breathe. Joss buried her eyes in her other arm, not wanting to watch someone suffer and die from a crushed throat.

Daichi dragged Joss back to the same room where she was before, and this time attached a long chain to her leg so she couldn't escape again.

"Why have you done this?" Joss screamed at her captor. "Why am I here?"

"When Ronald Stoppable figures out where you are, he will come, and I will finish what has been written. It would bode well for you if you did not try to escape, again." Joss could almost hear the venom in his voice dripping. She stepped towards him as far as the chain would let her.

Standing there with her hands clenched at her sides, Jocelyn Possible said the most important words she had ever spoken in her life. They would change her life forever.

Through clenched teeth, Joss muttered five words just loud enough for him to hear. "I'm not afraid of you."

"You should be." Daichi said coldly, and hit Jocelyn across the face with the back of his hand, causing her to spin and fall on the floor.

Fighting the tears back from the pain in her face, Joss sat on the floor, and stared back at him with anger she had never felt before in her life. Daichi was slightly taken aback by her act of defiance, but just turned around and stomped out of the room.

"What a horses you-know-what." Joss muttered to herself as she gingerly touched the side of her eye. I'm gonna have a good lookin' shiner in the mornin' She thought absently.

To be continued…

Hope y'all like the way I had Joss standing up to the bad guy…
