KP - All Grown Up?
AN: I got this idea after hearing Drakken say "My Teenage Foe" once too many on the music cd. I wondered what he would say if they weren't teens? This is that story, with a twist.
Chapter 3: Surprise!(Possible Residence)
Kim is the first to walk in through the door to her home along with Ron following closely behind her. Rufus is asleep in Ron's pocket and after the weird day, even the two teens-now-adults could use a nap.
Kim's father was in the living room and reading a paper while Kim's mother was making dinner in the kitchen. The twins were upstairs working on another rocket in their bedroom.
Kim walks into the living room and sees her father and says, "Daddy! I'm home and I've got something to tell you… Please don't get too freaked out ok?"
Kim's father still has his nose buried in the paper and doesn't see Kim or Ron's new looks but he notices her voice sounds different to him somehow. He says, "Don't worry Kimmie-cup, there's nothing that could freak out your old man."
Kim says, "I wouldn't be so sure… Daddy, look at us." She braces herself for whatever kind of reaction her father gives her.
Mr. Possible lowers the top edge of the paper and sees an adult redhead with green eyes in casual clothes and a man with blonde hair that looks familiar to him. He puts the paper down in his lap and says, "Oh, I'm sorry you two, are you here for our daughter? I am sure I heard her just a moment ago."
Kim blinks in surprise, turning to look at Ron and thinks, "Daddy doesn't recognize us! Have we changed that much?" With Ron thinking much along the same lines.
Kim turns her head back to her father and says, "Um, no… Daddy, it is me… Kim Possible."
Mr. Possible raises an eyebrow up and says, "Is this a joke? I think I'd know my daughter anywhere…" He stands up and walks up towards them to stand in front of them and says, "You're much too old to even pass for my daughter, she's still a teenager and I would have to guess you're at least 30."
Kim looks heartbroken and says, "But it really is me Daddy! And this is Ron!" She points at him before Ron weakly says, "Hiya Mr. Dr. P, it really is us…"
Kim does the one thing that finally convinces her father, she does the infamous puppy dog pout as she says, "Please, believe us Daddy…"
Mr. Possible's jaw drops and his brain goes into shock before he steps back and looks at the two of them once again, this time with a more observant eye. He notices that it IS Kim now that he has had a better look at her. She is taller, as tall as her mother now and has grown up from her younger, teen body into a more full one much like her mother's. She could almost pass for her mother's younger sister!
Mr. Possible lifts his jaw up with a finger and blinks a few more times before he says in a softer voice, "Kimmie-cup, it really is you isn't it?" then he looks at Ron and notices that he's grown up to be quite a handsome man, and notices that all the adventuring finally gave him the muscles to go with the body.
Mr. Possible says, "Ron, I can't believe that's you… you look… so grown up!" Ron fidgets and rubs the back of his head nervously, "Heh, thanks… Mr. Dr. P. but I'd really like to get back to my old body."
Mrs. Possible walks in just then and sees her husband talking to two adults, both whom look very familiar to her. When everyone turns to look at her she cries out loudly, "KIM! Is that you?"
Mr. Possible is surprised at how quickly his wife recognized their daughter when it took him a bit longer.
Mrs. Possible runs over to where Kim and Ron are quickly and looks Kim over quickly from an arm's length. She says in a happy voice, "Kim! You've grown up into such a beautiful woman!"
Kim's cheeks blush quite red as she says meekly, "Thanks Mom…"
Mr. Possible says, "Wait a second, how did you recognize our daughter so quickly?" and gets a look from his wife that reads, "Are you crazy?" She says, "Don't you think I'd recognize my own daughter anywhere?"
Mrs. Possible says, "Don't tell me… you didn't recognize her right away, did you?" Her response was a scratching on the back of his head as he looks away, "Um… well, yes hon… I just wasn't expecting to see her so grown up."
Mrs. Possible shakes her head for a moment before she turns to look at Ron and gives him a very analyzing look over before she smiles and says, "My, my Ron… you've sure grown up to be quite handsome man."
Ron blushes and just weakly says, "Um, Thanks Mrs. Dr. P." and looks to Kim for support.
Mrs. Possible says, "So, what happened to you two to turn you into adults? Come on and sit down, I want to hear all about it."
Everyone goes into the kitchen and sits at the table with Kim's parents sitting across from Kim and Ron.
Kim says, "Well, it all started when we went to bust Drakken's latest plot but it turns out that it was a trap to zap us with some sort of aging ray so that we'd turn so old that we would not be able to continue what we do anymore."
Ron says as Kim takes a breath, "We let them have the mad moves and in during the scuffle, we sort of… broke the machine but still got zapped by it."
Kim says, "It appears to not only age us physically but it also did the same for our clothes and gear. In short, it seems to have made everything but our minds where we'd be at somewhere around 30 years old."
Kim was keeping her hands down under the table the whole time while Ron pulls out Rufus and says, "I'm just glad my buddy here wasn't affected. I wouldn't want to think of where Rufus would be at when we're 30."
As Ron was holding Rufus, Mrs. Possible notices a gold band on Ron's finger and smiles just a hair, wondering if Ron's noticed yet. She decides that he must not have or he would have made an effort to hide his hand.
Mrs. Possible looks at her daughter in the eyes and wonders, "Does Kim have a ring too? Is that why she's keeping her hands hidden?" She can see the fear of being found out about something in her eyes and she guesses that Kim must have noticed, her guess is confirmed when Ron says, "Hey KP, maybe you should let your mom check out after that fainting spell you had back at Drakken's place?"
Kim lightly blushes and says, "No! I'm ok, I mean, it was just the shock of suddenly being in our adult bodies that did it."
Mrs. Possible isn't one to back down and says, "Well Kimberly, I still think that I should examine you and Ron because who knows what side effects that Drakken's aging ray may have. It might even still be continuing to age you as we speak!"
Both Kim and Ron's eyes go wide as saucers at the thought of this. Neither one wanted to have Drakken succeed, just at a slower rate!
Just then Kim's Kimmunicator did its familiar beeping tone and she whips it out of her pocket quickly, showing to her parents that her gear had indeed changed just as she'd said.
Wade appears on the screen and Kim says, "What's the sitch Wade?" with Ron almost shouting, "I don't want to be an old man! AGH!" in a panicky voice. Kim has to say, "Ron! Settle down! For all we know, we're going to turned back any minute!"
Kim looks back at Wade and says, "Please tell me you have good news Wade… I could use some right about now." What she doesn't realize is that with her holding the Kimmunicator, she shows to her mother that she does indeed have a wedding ring on her finger and Mrs. Possible thinks, "I think I know the real reason you fainted Kim…" as she looks at her daughter across from her.
Wade sighs on the screen and says, "I'm afraid not Kim, according to the scans I did, both you and Ron should have become 60 years old with the way he'd modified it."
Eyebrows go up all around the table before Mrs. Possible says, "I wonder… Wade, could it be that instead of being able to age two, it could only age one subject and was forced to divide it?"
Wade's eyebrows spring up in surprise and then he does some rapid typing before a beam comes out of the Kimmunicator to scan both Kim and Ron. Wade says, "You're a genius Mrs. Possible!"
Mrs. Possible smiles and says, "Why thank you Wade." She feels a bit flattered being called a genius by another genius such as Wade.
Wade says, "According to my scans, that's exactly what happened. Instead of making both of you the set age, it was forced to divide its functions and turned you both into 30 and if Rufus had been caught too, all three of you would be 20!"
Rufus makes a painful squeak at the thought of being 20 years old and faints on the table.
Kim says, "Is there any way to reverse the effects Wade?"
Wade taps some more keys and suddenly a hologram appears in the air, showing the device that he'd scanned earlier at the Drakken's place and says, "Not right now, I need more time to analyze it so I can reverse the effects without harming the two of you. Otherwise you could become so young that you cease to exist!"
Kim and Ron both audibly gulp at the thought at not existing anymore. Kim says, "Any thoughts as to why our clothes and gear changed too, Wade?"
Wade nods, "Yes, the device did more than just age your bodies, it was designed to change whatever you had on you as well so that when you got older and changed bodies, your clothes would modify to fit." He types a few more keys and the hologram changes to show Kim and Ron changing from teen to adult along with the clothes.
Wade continues to say, "However, when it got damaged it somehow gained a temporal effect to it as well, making your clothes and gear exactly what you'd be wearing if you were 30 years old today."
Kim says, "So, when we're 30 years old, I'll actually be wearing these clothes on this day? And have this advanced Kimmunicator?"
Wade nods and says, "Looks like it Kim, that's the only explanation I can think of."
Ron isn't paying much attention as he is trying to wake up Rufus who is still passed out on the table, it is only by tempting him with a piece of cheese in front of his nose that he succeeds in waking up the naked mole rat.
Ron looks at the hologram floating in the air and says, "Cool hologram Wade, is that a new feature?"
Wade sighs at Ron's lack of focus and says, "Yes Ron, it is a feature that is apparently in the future Kimmunicator. I'm still analyzing it and trying to figure out what else it can to, it memory banks are just so full of data that it is taking forever to download it all even with the high speed connection."
Kim says, "Wade, is there any chance that we could still be aging towards 60?" as she remembers what her mother said just moments before all this started.
Wade shakes his head and says, "Negative Kim, my scans show that you're stable at 30 years old. You are exactly where you'd be if you were 30 naturally."
Kim says, "Thank you Wade, that's one load off my mind." With a Ron says, "Me too!" from her side.
Wade says, "I'll continue to analyze the data and get back to you when I have more information Kim, until then all I can suggest is that you just try to pretend this didn't happen and do what you normally do until Drakken pops up again. After which we'll try to get him to tell us how to reverse this in case I can't figure out something."
Kim tilts her head a little in defeat and says, "Thanks Wade, I know you'll be able to do it, you are a super-genius after all." She gives Wade a confidant smile, which was more than she felt in her heart at the moment.
Wade nods and says, "I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done Kim crunching the data Kim, and try to relax, it can't be all bad to be 30."
Kim thinks, "That's what you think Wade" as she remembers the ring on her finger. She says, "Please and Thank you Wade" before she signs off.
Mrs. Possible says, "Ron, how do you plan to tell your parents about your…um, changes?"
Kim and Ron look at each other and think "Oh… boy!" wondering just how Ron's parents were going to take all of this. They weren't exactly used to all the craziness that Kim and her parents were used to.
AN: Well, I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter! I've always figured Mrs. Possible to be the sharper one of the two and more in touch with her daughter so, that's why she recognized Kim more quickly. What do you all think is going to happen when Ron sees the ring? or Mr. Possible when he sees the rings on their fingers? Hmmm? Are Kim and Ron married to each other? or married to someone else? The answers are in Kim's hands and not quite what you might think I mean! Bwhahahahaha! Evil ain't I? lol!
kpultimatefan: Thanks for the great review last chapter! I am glad that you think my writing skills are so very good!
qtpie235: Well, here's ONE family's reaction, just wait until you see the other's! And let's not forget their friends! LOL!
KR FOREVER: Aw, you guessed the ring part... ah well, only I know their future. What do you think will happen because of the rings? I plan for chaos to follow them both because of them! lol!
Lysander: I'm not planning on a grown up sex vixen for Kim, and as you can see she looks more like her mother than anything. As for your ideas about what Kim can do about school... She'll take underadvisement (Kim shakes her head about wearing her hair in a bun, saying you'll never catch me wearing it like that.) Ron is puzzled by what you mean at first, then he says, "No way! I'm not going to school as a teacher! I had it hard enough as a student!"
userx: Thanks for the nice review and I hope this chapter keeps you coming back for more.
