The Afters
Chapter 10
"Can I come too?" the child looked up at them with big green eyes.
"No Holly." Kim shook her head.
"I'll call your mom Kim, she'll be more than happy to watch Holly." He quickly left the room and made his way into the master bedroom.
The redhead took a sharp breath. "Holly, you have to stay here, no matter what, Nana will watch you okay?"
"Okay." She sniffed.
Ron re-entered the room. "Kim, she's coming straight over."
Kim nodded and place Holly in her bed.
"We don't know when we'll be back, but you be on your best behavior. Understand?"
"Yes mommy." Holly could sense a bad vibe and wept silently.
"Good girl." She pecked her on her head. "Nana will be here in a minute."
"Come on Kim, we have to get moving."
She trailed out of the room and said to Ron, "Where are our suits?"
Holly just sat there, watching her parents rush back and forth in the hallway. She looked at a picture of them, when they were younger, in their mission outfits. They looked so happy. Now she felt bad, because she understood that things haven't been the same since she was born. They were not happy to go on missions, to leave their daughter behind with a caretaker. She grew certain of what she had to do.
"Mommy and Daddy need some help. And I'm the girl to do it."
She hopped off and sneaked into the hallway, looking for a way to escape. Then, she noticed at the top of the steps, a large brown backpack, larger than Kim's old one, which held all her gadgets and make-up.
"A-ha." She beamed.
Tip toeing into the open, she walked to the bag and opened it. She tucked her self gently into the bag, amazed that she could fit. She gasped seeing that her parents were coming, and closed the top. At the moment they emerged, the doorbell chimed.
"Lets go." Kim rushed Ron. Both of them were in their Battle suits, both updated to fit them and with newer gadgets. Kim still had her same coloring, white and blue. While Ron, who did not look the same in white, wore a black and red one.
Holly looked through the crack left between from the closing of the bag. She saw her mothers red hair and nothing else. Silently she shifted her position, so she could see more.
"Hi mom." Kim talked fast to her mother. Mrs. Possible now had grayer hair and more wrinkles on her face. But still had her beauty.
"Hi Kim. Where's Holly?"
"She's upstairs in her room. I'm sorry but we can't stay and talk." Ron answered.
"Bye!" both yelled out exiting the house and running towards a rope ladder hanging from a helicopter.
"Jinx you owe me a soda!" Kim laughed.
"OH!"
"Here it is." The red head looked down through a vent.
"They could have picked a better evil lair. I mean they always stick with the same one!"
"Ron, Shh." She snapped. "Wade said they are trying to do something that will cause the Earths atmosphere to start to thin."
"Okay, that's crazy."
"Well we are talking mad evil Guinness here."
"So what's the-" they felt the vent slide down.
Their eyes grew wide, "UH-oh."
The air tube fell and Kim and Ron came tumbling out. Dust flew up everywhere, causing them to be blind.
"Ow!" Kim rubbed her shoulder, "Okay, that never happened before."
"Oh-ho, but it would have been so sweet." A sinister familiar voice called from around them. Suddenly, a greenish glow appeared from right in front of them.
Kim narrowed her eyes, "Shego."
The dust cleared, and there was Shego. She had more elegance in her appearance, slimmer and curvier then she once was. Her outfit had changed from a suit, to a tank top and cargo pants. Still the same colors.
"Kim Possible, where has the time gone." Drakken appeared on a tall block behind Shego. Her looked older, but still had his same figure. His hair was exactly the same, with the exception of more grays. Other than that, same old Drakken. "My, my, how you have grown. Oh and Ron Stoppable as well." She raised a brow.
"Yes he got my name right again!"
"Ron!" Kim snapped at him once more.
"Well, as much as I love to stay and chat, I do believe that Shego has some work to do."
"What?" the glowing woman shot a look at him.
"What what?"
"Well aren't you going to say your plan? You know, I'm going to have the world begging for mercy! Blah blah blah, come on Drakken!"
"ER FINE!" He grew testy with her. "Ahem, using the power of the Hope Diamond, this machine, behind me will gradually continue to cause the atmosphere to thin, while Shego, Jeffery and I will have oxygen tanks. The whole world will-!"
"Whoa whoa whoa, like who is Jeffery?" Ron interrupted.
Shego and Drakken shot glances, "Uh no one, Jeffery is no one."
"Jeffery is so someone." Kim smirked. "HEY JEFFERY!" she yelled.
A moment later, tiny footsteps were coming from a shut door. The door opened, and there was this little boy, with pale skin and jet-black hair. He was dressed in blue jeans and a green t-shirt.
"Mommy did you call me?" he asked.
Kim and Ron snickered, "Mommy!" Kim laughed, "Wait." She grew pale, she pointed at Shego and Drakken, "Did you, and you have?"
"Yes Possible, Drakken and I are together, and this is our seven year old son Jeffery Lipsky!" Shego hollered.
"I'll be back in the den," Jeffery rushed back out of the room.
"Now." Shego turned back to Kim, and jumped off the box she was standing on. She went after Kim, who stood up and prepared for her worst.
"Ron, you get the machine!"
"I'm on it Kim!" Ron dashed behind another box.
Shego kept on throwing glowing punches while tormenting Kim.
"Stoppable doesn't call you KP anymore. Aw did you guys grow up?"
"No," she blushed, "I mean yes. Old habits die hard."
"Oh I'm sure. Hi-ya!" she kicked Kim, who flew across the room, and landed on the floor.
"Oh," she moaned.
Suddenly, her backpack opened, and out rolled a little blonde girl.
Kim gasped, "Holly…"
Shego laughed, "Oh so you and the loser did have something! Hmmm, must have clicked on the night your prom date melted. What was his name? Oh yes Eric…"
Kim filled with rage, "Don't…mention….that name…"
"Mommy?" Holly cried.
"Holly get out of here, now!" Kim pushed Holly out of the way as Shego came down on Kim.
"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!" Ron yelled from across the room. He was being chased by a bunch of robots with red eyes and claws.
Holly glanced back and forth between her mother and father, unsure on what to do. But then she saw a large shiny object in a machine that was glowing. She casually walked over to the machine and pulled out the Hope Diamond. It was heavy, so she left it on the edge of the machine, which was shutting itself off. She twitched her head around the room.
"What?" Drakken looked down, "NO!"
"Go Holly!" Kim cheered.
"What!" Shego yelled. "We were beaten by a two year-old?"
"SHES THREE!" Both Kim and Ron blurted out.
"Oh, great, the Possible line continues." Drakken slapped his hand on his forehead.
Holly looked up at the blue man, and shrieked in horror "Mommy! It's Dr. Ducky!"
"Doctor…Ducky?" he questioned.
Holly quickly dashed over to her parents, who were huddled together. A siren blared in the distance, as police officers strolled in.
Ron rubbed the top of Holly's head. "Good job Kiddo."
Holly giggled while hugging his leg. "Thanks daddy."
Kim touched the top of her head, while looking at Ron, who smiled gently.
"Mommy?"
"Hmmm?"
"You're getting kind of fat."
