The Afters
Chapter 17
"Holly come on, Jacobs hereཀ" an older Kim Possible called up the stairs. It's been about 12 years since Andrew Stoppable was born. Holly Ann is now sixteen and attends Middleton High School with Jacob. Andrew was now 12 and well, attended a special school...
"Mom, can you help me with this equation?" He asked behind the desk of a laptop.
"Sure dear, what's the sitch?"
"What is the sitch mom..."
Kim felt insulted but appreciated her sons interest in grammar. She looked at the equation to find a very complicated problem.
"Oh never mind I got itཀ" Andrew immediately typed in the number 2. "My lesson is complete."
Andy rose from the table showing his short body with the same messy red hair and blue eyes. He looked a lot like Kim's mother mixed with Jim and Tim who were now married and had children. Jim, a 5 year old and 8 year old. Tim, a 10 year old.
"Mom?" Holly came into the kitchen. Her curly blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail. Her face covered in hardly any make-up showing her natural beauty. She was dressed in a leisure suit showing her sporty look. She was an athlete like Kim, but preferred soccer to cheerleading by far.
"Sorry I can't make it to the game today sweetie." Kim handed her daughter her gym bag.
"Mom? You promised you'd come, this is the championship gameཀ I'm the starting-"
"I'm sorry Holly but there's an emergency at the Space Center."
"Grandpa need help again?"
"Yeah...your Uncle Jim 'accidently' spilled soda all over a machine and...well...lets just say their security system turned against them."
"Mission?" Holly eagerly asked.
"No Holly."
"Momཀ" the blonde whined. "Please come on,"
"Holly no, your too young."
"Momཀ I saved the world before-"
"You were a target Holly, you were nearly killed by Drakken."
"Oh come on, I was a little kid you can't blame me."
Kim ignored what she said and pecked her daughter on the cheek, "Bye good luck."
"But I-"
"Go."
"But-"
"Now-"
"Fine."
Holly stormed out of the room running into her father who returned from doing yard work.
"Hi daddy." she pecked him on the cheek. "You coming today?"
"Absolutely...right after mission mode."
"Dad..." Holly began to whine again egging her father to take her with him.
"Holly, your mother says your not ready."
"But she started when she was like twelve or something."
"If it were up to me I would take you- but you need to be trained first. Good luck."
Ron walked into the kitchen leaving Holly to herself,
"Yeah hopefully I will before you get arthritis." she smirked by passing an large old dog approaching her. His thick tail wagging playfully as his dark eyes filled with spirit.
"As soon as I get home Rufus okay?" she massaged the scruff of his neck and hugged him.
Holly closed the door and ran out to the curb where Jacob was waiting on his bike. He had grown handsome, his dark hair turning even darker. His eyes getting bluer. He was still tall and skinny but he had a charming smile and a kind heart. Girls at school stalked him, dying to be his girlfriend. He tries his best not to abandon Holly who is still her best friend. But sometimes it gets so hard, they have to be separated.
"Took you long enough." He joked.
"Oh shut up." she playfully pushed him while bringing up her bike.
"How's Rufus?"
"Old. But still has spunk. Come on, we're late as it is." She started pedaling up the suburban street with Jacob catching up.
"Kim? You ready?" Ron peeked into their bedroom. But suprisingly, she wasn't in her battle suit, all the gadgets laid spread out on the blue comforter and Rufus (the dog) was sitting in front of her, but she wasn't petting him. She just sat there, starring at the wall. "Kim?" Ron walked into the room suspecting something. "You okay?" he touched her shoulder causing her to jump.
"Ron stop playing around, come on we have to get goingཀ" she barked at him.
Ron was speechless, so he just walked out of the room. Kim never acted like that before...
"Alright," Kim emerged in her white and blue battle suit. "This shouldn't take long."
She dashed down the stairs with the speed she had when she was younger (both Kim and Ron are in their late 30's.) Leaving Ron speechless but followed her.
"Come on Hollyཀ" Jacob yelled above the crowd. As usual he was surrounded by his "fan girls" who were more interesting in watching him than that girl Holly kick several goals in a row. The whistle blew and Holly won the game nearly single handedly. She was congratulated by her teammates and coach who picked her up in the air. Jacob was trying to get down there as well, but the girls surrounded him. The rudest but prettiest girl in school came extra close and told him:
"That stupid Stoppable is a nobody, why do you always hang out with her instead of us?"
"Listen Summer...I told you before, that Holly and I are best friends and for you guys to stop putting her down all the time. Besides..." he thought of a remark, "Let's see you try kicking 10 goals in a row."
Speechless, Summer just sat there. Seconds later, she huffed and flipped her long black hair in his face and stormed off. The crowd departed and Holly came up onto the bleaches where he was sitting.
"If you go out with her, the others will leave you alone."
"But then I can't hang out with you Hols."
Holly laughed, "Me? I'm the most boring person in the world. Why would you want to hang out with me when you have a super popular girlfriend?"
"Because you're my best friend remember." Holly gave a 'I know look' but Jacob continued, "And besides, I think I can do better than Summer Gan."
"Are you kidding?ཀ She's the most popular girl in school Jayཀ"
"Holly," Jacob began to sound very stern, "One of the reasons I'm not going out with Summer is because she'll just push you around some more and completely take over my connection with you. So basically,"
"Your doing it for me.." Holly smiled, "Aw that's so sweet," pause, "But really Jay they are going to go ballistic if you don't take a chance with one of them. You see me, I'm just waiting for someone...anyone to come up to me. Your luckier in love than I am, just make your move and bingoཀ Commitment."
Jacob froze in silence. "I'd rather not talk about it anymore, I made up my mind."
"Suit yourself."
A sudden beeping came on in Holly's gym bag. She did not recognize the beep but opened the pocket to find a communicator similar to her mothers and fathers. "Um, Uncle Wade?"
"No Holly it's dad, your mother and I need you at the space center, its urgent."
"Holly, your mother and I discussed it, and we think your ready..."
"Ready?" Holly raised a brow
"For training."
Holly squealed with excitement, Jacob just smiled.
"But-" Kim began causing Holly to moan, "You still have to manage your time wisely."
"I promise I will."
"Well, there isn't much to it, Wade's coming over later today to teach you the technical stuff, and basically it's combat from there on out."
Holly looked at Kim"And your going to teach me mom?"
"Of course, it may be more difficult for you because I learned it all from cheerleading...the simple moves." Kim flushed some, "But don't get your hopes all high, your father and I still are able to work properly. Right Don?"
