Chapter 2
Weird Day in Middleton
Part II


The Future

The Imperial Palace

Middleton

All of the scientists working the room were carefully monitoring the happenings in the past, all too aware that one unseen variable could cause the Empress' plot to fall to ruins. At Station 222 one scientist noticed such a variable hurrying through the Time Stream to the past. But before the scientist could start to act he felt a hand on his shoulder, looking up and behind he saw the Empress. The scientist shuddered at her touch and tried to cover up the screen, but she saw it anyway and her hand on his shoulder tightened.

-"Ron!" she said in a barely controlled whisper, seething. She turned to the cowering scientist and lifted him up by the collar yelling "Ron is in the Time Stream! And you try to hide it!"

-"We…we… dddd… don't know that for… sss…. sure… Your Majesty" he stuttered. "We haven't had a chance to conduct a scan"

The Empress glared with a glare of death at the scientist and dropped him unceremoniously back in his chair, then turned to the small crowd which by that time assembled behind her.

-"That is Ron in the Time Stream I can feel it" she said to the crowd. "Even now he tries to stop me, the poor misguided fool" The Empress shook her head. "Well I will have to show him the folly of resistance". She turned to one of her guards "Dispatch a unit to the past, find Ron and bring him here. If he 'comprises' the Princess bring her as well"

The guard saluted and took off, and there was quiet…….

The Present

Middleton High School

Middleton, Colorado

As Ron's motorcycle drove into the parking space at Middleton High Kim noticed that it was strangely deserted, not nearly crowded as it was usually was. This is getting really weird Kim thought as she, assisted by Ron got off the motorcycle and walked into the school. The students and teachers were lined up on each side of the hall standing at perfect attention. The silence was broken when Mr. Barkin shouted….

-"She's arrived! Start cheering people!"

The whole line began to cheer and crowd around Kim yelling for attention…..

-"Kim, over here, over here!"

-"Kim, don't worry about the yearbook!"

-"Kim, we'll clean the park ourselves. You take it easy!"

-"We'll be breaking out the gourmet for you Ms. Possible!"

And so on until Kim finally escaped the crush of humanity by vaunting over them to get to her locker, were the imposing form of Mr. Barkin loomed ominously. Cracking her best smile Kim fidgeted….

-"Mr. Barkin!…. Heheheh…. Sorry I'm late but I've had a big breakfast and…"

Mr. Barkin held up a hand for silence

-"I know Possible; your father called earlier and said you would be late. Don't worry and have a good day"

Kim was shocked; normally Mr. Barkin would have gone volcanic at her for being late . Now he was telling her it was fine and to have a good day? Okay… another 5 notches up the weirdness scale…. She thought as behind her Mr. Barkin was yelling at Ron as normal….

-"Hold on there Stoppable! You're late!"

Ron tried to explain….

-"Mr. Barkin I was giving Kim a ride to school!"

This just inflamed Barkin who yelled….

-"That's it Stoppable you are getting an hour's detention after school!"

As Barkin left Ron moaned and beat his head against his locker. This earned Kim's attention, but she decided to ask what was the matter later. Despite her hopes Kim's day just got weirder and weirder as people stood up when she entered the room, got A 100s on all of her work, and in the cafeteria the lunch ladies let Kim choose her lunch from a lavish menu. Ron got his normal treatment despite his status as Kim's boyfriend. However the pinnacle of Kim's Weird Day was yet to come…..

LATER…..

-"Ron can this day get ANY weirder!"

Kim practically shouted as she held up her arms in despair. So far the day's school day had been anything but normal, and all of the adoration was beginning to wear on her. Though…… Kim had to admit to herself that lunch was very nice…….

-"I don't know KP, it seems kinda neat to have everyone scrape after you"

As if to reinforce this point a group of students stood ramrod straight as Kim passed them, causing her to groan out load.

-"That's just it Ron! I DON'T want people to scrape after me!"

Ron seemed to think on that point….

-"You could always tell them to not scrape after you"

-"RON!"

-"What?"

Kim rolled her eyes in frustration as she pushed the doors into the gym for cheer practice. Inside was all of the cheer leaders standing still, Kim lazily waved her hand at them, causing the s to relax.

-"Alright everyone lets do the new routine from the top…."

-"Hold on! I've got something to say!"

Bonnie moved up from her place at the back to confront Kim, to whose shock was actually happy that Bonnie was going to complain to her. Unfortunately for our teen heroine……..

-"Kim….. I want to apologize for my past behavior towards you. I was jealous of your far, far superior skills. But that is no excuse for my cruel torment of you….. Can you forgive me?"

The gym was silent as Kim just stared at Bonnie, who had in the course of her speech had gotten on her knees. Had this been a cartoon Kim's jaw would have dropped out of her mouth at the shock. Finally Kim's brain began to work again….. Did Bonnie, THE Bonnie just APOLOGIZE to ME? This took few minutes to register on Kim's mind before she bolted out of the gym.

After getting a fair distance from the school Kim collapsed onto the ground, she could no longer take all of the worship and kissing up of her classmates, she needed to get away. But how? Kim thought then it came to her in a flash. She whipped out the Kimmunicator and brightened at the sight of Wade, her ten-year-old super genius.

-"Wade, please tell me if someone…somewhere…needs my help"

Wade shook his head and slipped on his seemingly always present Coke.

-"There's nothing Kim. Looks like they all took a vacation or something"

Kim moaned, turned off the Kimmunicator and laid down in the grass in despair. Then suddenly a blue ball appeared next to Kim, who stared at it. As she stared a white light grew inside the ball which began to spin and grow brighter. A whirling noise came from the ball and then….. BOOM! Kim covered her face, when the heat from the explosion passed she put her arms down and saw a strange man next to her. The man was tall, taller then her, had hair and brown eyes. He wore a torn military style camouflage uniform with what looked like bits and pieces of armor sewn on. The man looked down at Kim and he seemed sad yet happy at the same time to see her. He extended a hand to Kim and said a strangely familiar voice….

-"Kim Possible, I come from the future. You are our last hope"
