The Afters

Chapter 18

A year later...

"Holly are you sure about this?"

"Shut up! They'll hear."

"I'm really nervous here."

"That's not my problem come on, don't be scared. It'll be done before you know it."

"I-"

The earth below them fell, Both Holly and Jacob fell from 15 feet in the air landing on solid dirt.

"Ow." Holly moaned while sweeping the dust off her white and lime green battle suit.

"I don't know why I have to tag along...couldn't Andy?" Jacob helped Holly off the ground.

"Andy has seemed to take Uncle Wade's profession of making the gadgets. And besides, my mom had her best friend be her sidekick, and now I have mine. Now come on!"

In a dash, Holly ran off leaving Jacob to tag behind. Their target was at the end of a rather large hallway, her quick footsteps echoing through out the corridor. She was thinking positive things in her head:

Oh this is so awesome. Me and Jacob on our first mission. I wonder if mom was excited as I am. Oh Jacob and I are going to make the best team. Me and Jacob, the leader and sidekick...two best friends and- wait. Mom and Dad...best friends...teammates...boyfriend and girlfriend! Husband and Wife!

Meanwhile, back in Middleton:

"Kim I'm going." Ron called up the stairs. Kim looked from out of the kitchen. "Oh there you are. I'm leaving."

"Oh," Kim slowly hugged him, "Call me every day."

"You know I will Kimbo." He kissed her passionately, "I promise."

"I love you," she let go.

"I love you too."

He turned the door handle, "Have fun in England." Kim called after him.

"I'll see you in a couple weeks." he winked as the door closed behind him.

"Surrender Dr. Drakken!"

"Yeah...What she said." Jacob meekly added..

Dr. Drakken who was now stuck in a wheelchair, and whose blue skin gave off more of a gray tint to match his gray hair.

"Ah...Miss...Stoppable?" He looked at an older Shego who was just as confused as he was. "Are you the buffoons daughter?"

"The one that called Drakken...Dr. Ducky?" Shego laughed. "Aw that is so cute! Bring your kid to work day! Hah! I love it!" She nearly fell to the floor laughing.

"Now I see what your parents had to put up with..." Jacob whispered.

"Well," Shego got into combat position, "This should be quick." She kicked off in the air and nearly knocked Holly off her feet. But instead of falling, Holly kicked Shego straight in the stomach which sent her flying into a pile of boxes.

"Oh great!" Drakken proclaimed, "She has her mothers skill.."

Shego slashed her way towards Holly, who blocked it off with shields from her battle suit.

"So," she laughed, "Whose the boy? Your boyfriend? Like your mommy and daddy?"

"He is not my boyfriend!" Holly yelled pushing back on Shego's arms.

"Aw, denial, so sweet, and so naive."

"Mom!" an angry voice called from behind the battle. There was a tall boy with shaggy black hair, much more shaggier than Jacobs with pale...almost greenish skin.

"Jeffery! I'm working!" Shego yelled back.

"Well I'm trying to do my homework...So could you keep it down so-" he stopped. His dark eyes fixated on Holly.

"Huh?" Holly blushed.

"Mom! Wait stop!" Jeffery ran in between them.

"Jeffery what are you doing!" Drakken yelled from across the room.

But he didn't pay attention. He made his way to Holly who was blushing uncontrollably.

"Hi." he grinned.

"H-hi." Holly casually smiled back.

"I'm Jeffery."

"Holly, nice to..to see I mean meet you." Holly chuckled sheepishly.

Meanwhile from across the room Jacob noticed a rather large button, eager to make her happy, he ran over and called her name,

"Oh Holly! I found the but-"

"That's not the button." Jeff and Holly said automatically.

"Huh?"

"That's not the button." They repeated. Jeff reached into his pocket and took out a small tiny purple button. "This..is the button."

Holly grinned and proudly pressed the button, a computerized voice sounded off "Self Destruct in T minus 30, 29..."

"JEFFERY!" Drakken's angry voice echoed through the room.

"I have to go." He told her, "See ya."

Holly stood there waving as pieces of ruble began to fall around. Jeffery winked at her from the hovercar as they flew off into the distance.

"Holly! Holly come on we have to..." Jacob noticed she wasn't moving, "Holly come on!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room, down the hallway and out the door. Only a second later, the building exploded. Jacob was on the ground, Holly was still in her bewitched position.

"Holly what is wrong with you? You nearly got killed! You-"

Holly gave a sigh of passion. Jacob realized something and headed off to the transportation they had.

He sighed sadly, "I guess you found the right person..."
