Chapter 1-

"Telling the Parents"

Unfortunately for Ron and Kim, their engagement would not remain a secret for long. A man in the audience had a video camera trained on the stage at the exact moment Ron proposed to Kim. Within an hour of the concert's end, the video had been sold to every news organization in Japan.

As soon as the video aired on Japanese TV, American news organizations also snapped up the video for their airwaves. That night, with Kim and Ron back in Middleton, the entire Possible and Stoppable families sat in the Possible living room, where Kim and Ron would reveal the big secret.

"Thanks to you all for being here," Kim said. "I'm sure you've heard on the news or on the Net by now that Ron and I are getting married." Dr. Stoppable, Kim's father, nodded. "That's right, my little Kimmie cub. I read in the paper," he said. Kim blushed. Her father had used his private nickname for her in front of her future in-laws.

Ron's father looked at Kim. "If only one person could make the legendary Kim Possible settle down, it could only be my son," he said. "Mr. Stoppable…" Kim started to say before Jim interrupted. "When Kim gets married, can we have her room?" he asked.

Kim shot a glance at the "tweebs." "NO! My room still has a lot of top-secret equipment that will go to the man or woman who takes my place," she said. "With Ron and I getting married, I think it's time I retire from saving the world." Kim pulled out her Kimmunicator and called Wade. "Wade, take a letter for posting on the website," Kim said. "' Dear fans- As you know, I am getting married to my dear friend Ron Stoppable. As a result, I will no longer have time to go on missions to save the world. So, it is my sad duty to say that effective May 1st, 2005-my wedding day-I am retiring. I am therefore immediately beginning a world-wide search for a successor to join Team Possible as the new hero of the team. Ron and I will stay on as consultants. Goodbye, my friends… and thank you. Signed, Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible.'"

After closing the channel to Wade, Kim turned back to Jim and Tim. "Guys, after my replacement is found, then you can have my room. Not before," Kim said. Jim and Tim turned away, disgusted looks on their faces.

As Kim and Ron continued to talk to their families, a red motorcycle was pulling into a hotel parking lot in Middleton. Jason Archer was a reporter for the Yuma Sun in Arizona, who was sent by the paper's staff to Middleton to interview Ron and Kim about their engagement. Little did he know he was about to become part of the story.

On the screen of the laptop computer, Jason was looking at Kim Possible's website. On the page he was looking at was the letter from Kim, announcing her retirement after the wedding. Turning off the computer, Archer took a sip of coffee and smiled. "This is the break I've been waiting for," he said to himself. Saving an article he was writing, Jason turned off the laptop and left.

A half-hour later, Jason's motorcycle pulled up to the Possible residence. He could see through the windows Kim and Ron talking to their parents. Jason walked up to the door and pushed the doorbell.

Dr. Mr. Possible stood up and went to open the door. "Can I help you?" he asked. "Mr. Possible? My name is Jason Archer, and I'm with the Yuma Sun newspaper out of Yuma, Arizona. I'm here for an interview with the happy couple," Jason said. "Come in, Mr. Archer," Dr. Mr. Stoppable said. "Kim, Ron, up for an interview?"

As the interview drew to a close, Kim looked at Jason. Ron turned to Kim, a strange look on his face. "Kim, aren't we engaged?" he asked. "Yes, we are, Ron," Kim said. "I think, however, that Jason Archer may be just what Team Stoppable needs to stay alive after I retire. Jason, how would you like to join us full-time as a member of Team Possible?"

Jason looked at Ron and Kim. "I'd be glad to," Jason said. A beeping sound came from Kim's pocket. "What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked. "Drakken and Shego escaped from prison and stole a top-secret military prototype," Wade said. "A perfect way to give my successor some on the job training," Kim said. "Arrange appropriate transportation for 3."

A helicopter landed in front of the Possible residence. As Kim and Ron got on, Archer looked at his motorcycle longingly. It would be the first of many farewells to the world he knew. As the next point man for Team Possible, his world was about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Jason's first mission with Team Possible is next time.
