It really is a Big Ship you know.
I.
'Big. Round. Woman! Bed. Problem? Brain broken? Something done!' Ron stared open mouthed at the woman now sitting on his bed. He failed to notice the smile on her face though he could testify in court to how often she took a breath. Mind you while under oath.
"So kid I was thinking that you should kind of answer that question. Unless of course you have something else on your mind." Ron mind finally kicked back in when he noticed the slight purr in her voice.
Looking up he stared into her green eyes. His instincts told him to run at this moment but his brain said otherwise. If she could move through walls running now would only prolong the inevitable death that awaited him. Better to face the problem head on and do what any man would do.
"Please don't eat me!" Ron fell to his knees allowing the tears to fall. This would hopefully appeal to her more human side if it existed at all. "I don't taste good honest. I'm tough and chewy and I taste like old cheese. There people out there who taste a whole lot better!"
He watched as the monster stood up a smile on her face. Trembling in fear he sat there frozen as she leaned in closer. "I don't know I think I'd enjoy eating you. I got to say I'm sure you'll enjoy it too." With that she lightly nibbled his ear.
Nibbled his ear! Ron's shocked mind was now warring within itself. On the one hand there was a sexy deadly monster hitting on him with an obvious intent to probably kill him afterwards. On the other hand a sexy monster was hitting on him! He was pretty sure this was never covered in health class unless it was that day he was out due to a broken arm. Who knew you could slip on ice in the middle of July.
"I um...well...um..." Ron's confused reply only survived to cause the woman to chuckle.
"I'm going to enjoy..."
She never finished as a loud voice boomed outside. "Shego! This is Kimberly Ann Possible of the Possible clan. First Princess of Jurai and rightful heir to the throne. Surrender now or face my wraith."
Ron mind took in this recent event and tried to process it. Only one question came to mind. "Your friend?"
"Maybe I owe her money." With a shrug Shego moved towards the window. Ron watched as she kicked apart the wall and stood there with her hands on her hips.
"Have you come to surrender?" The booming voice was beginning to hurt Ron's ears. He honestly wondered where it was coming from.
"Sure Princess but only if you tell me why." Shego face held that same smile which she had moments ago.
"For what? For destroying large areas of my home world of course!"
"Hey I was under contract."
"What contract! Enough of this nonsense will you come peacefully or not?"
Shego paused for a second before checking her wrist. With a smile she looked back up. "Seems to me that I recall a certain thing about a statue of limitations. Destruction of government property, royal assassination, and general terrorism limitation is three hundred and sixty years after a new royal line takes charge. Tell me Princess you did say you were a Possible right?"
Ron not one to care about things like this decided to get the heck out of there while the getting was good. Standing up he inched slowly towards the door. A massive explosion hurried the process along.
Staring in shock he looked at what was once their home's fence. Ok not really his home just a place he was staying in while in Japan. Stupid Dad getting moved out here but that was not the issue at hand currently. "What?" His simple question expressed volumes.
"Don't worry kid the Princess is only firing warning shots. Must be her time." Shego looked back up to the sky a smile on her face. "I seem to recall Jurai battleships being a little stronger in my day anyway. Guess the royalty isn't the only thing that went down."
A slight growl could be heard as the shots started to circle the house. The yard did not fair well. "See what I mean. Princess can't really do anything. The law after all." With a smile Shego turned back only to curse when a yellow light appeared.
"I always forget about that."
"Forget about what?"
"The matter condenser and transporter kid. This bit is going to be unpleasant." She wasn't lying.
II.
Ron gasped as he spilled out on the floor. A pair of sandaled feet was staring him in the face. Pretty feet actually with pink nail gloss. The kind that sparkles slightly as if glitter was in it but you can't really see any glitter. High quality stuff mind you. The topic of the current nail polish in use aside Ron decided to find out who the feet belonged to. A slow glance up the leg revealed a pair of naked ankles and then a white long robe. Slowly moving up it he made his progress to about the hip area. A short pause and then he made his way up to the chest. A pause occurred here. A long pause.
"You know I have a face." The talking chest seemed to be slightly annoyed at him. He'd seen a couple of talking chest today. Not Shego good or even Yori good. He just wished Yori liked liked him. It was a shame really. Anyway this talking chest had its good points. A little small though.
"Excuse me. A little higher please!" With an annoyed sigh Ron made the rest of the journey up. Taking note of a rather kissable mouth, smooth red cheeks, and two sparkling green eyes. Red hair framed the face almost as red as the cheeks.
"Um. Name's Ron Stoppable and you are?" Ron put on his best smile as he looked up at the girl. He noted the odd head dress she wore but decided to figure it out latter.
Reaching out she showed him the hilt to the ancient sword he had found. The one that crazy woman hadn't liked earlier. "I have two questions for you. First off why do you have this sword? Second why are you associating with that monster? Remember your life depends on these answers."
Ron decided the best bet was to stand up. Slowly rising he kept his eyes on the girl hoping she wouldn't take his head off. When he was now at his full height he looked over at her. 'Hey I'm taller then her. Wonder if that's a good thing.'
Ron took a deep breath noting the annoyed look on her face. It was better to handle these things quickly. "To your first question it's an ancient sword that my Grandfather watches after. He kept it in the shrine at the mountain he lives in. As for the Shego lady you got me. We just meet."
Looking around he noted that they appeared to be standing on a smooth wooden floor. Various trees surrounded them but one tall giant tree dominated the sky. Looking back he saw that the red headed alien had tipped her head to the side a quizzical look on her face. "You're telling me that your Grandfather just happens to be looking after the master key?"
'Master Key?' To Ron's best recollection he'd never heard that phrase used before.
"I'm sorry but I don't know what that is."
"The sword is the master key and how did it come to be in your Grandfather possession."
Ron hesitated wondering where this conversation was going. He decided to take a risk and answer to the best of his knowledge. "I figure he got it from his father who got it from his father. Tends to be the way things work. Care to tell me why this is important?"
Instead of answer his question she tapped the sword lightly against her arm. Frowning she tapped harder and then looked back at him. "How old is your Grandfather?"
"I don't know in his seventies. He's an energetic old dude though." Ron gave her his best smile trying to win her over.
"I see. Well I'll think about what you've said for right now. Good night."
Frowning Ron looked around. "Um...then I can go home now."
Instead of answering the alien girl turned around and walked past a pair of odd logs. "You two lock him up."
"Yes mistress." As soon as the two voices came from the logs they were up and moving towards them. Too shocked to do anything but stare Ron was quickly trapped by them.
'Should I scream?' He'd seen plenty of Sci-Fi movies to know that wouldn't help. He remained quiet, except for the occasional odd comment or two of course, as they moved him towards an odd looking canopy of vines. Inside was the crazy green lady.
"Hey guys you really don't have to put me in there."
The two logs only reply was to chuck him towards the cell. Screaming he braced for contact before hitting into a wooden vine in front of him. The only thing was that it was the opposite side of where he had approached and a pained look back told him whatever hole there had been was no longer there. With a pained moan he settled back down.
"What am I going to do now?" Ron looked up at the ceiling hoping that somehow he'd get an answer.
"I have a few ideas." That same purring voice that had got him into this now came from his side. A quick look told him it was Shego now leaning over him.
"You know this is probably your fault. Care to tell me what's going to happen now?"
"Oh she'll probably execute us. Ms. Prim and Proper doesn't seem to care for the letter of the law. Royalty these days."
"Great." Rolling over Ron tried to get some much needed sleep. With a laugh Shego moved to the other side ready to fall asleep herself.
III.
Ron groaned as a he felt something wet slither across his cheek. It soon made its way to his ear where it contented itself with a continued wet assault. This was enough to wake Ron up.
'God please don't let it be Shego.' Opening his eyes he was confronted with a set of green eyes. Add in the furry nose and tail of course if you want the complete picture.
"What?" Ron stared in confusion at the pet until he heard a giggle from outside. Looking up he saw a brown haired girl more then likely in her early teens. That would be his guess mind you.
The thing that struck him was this girl was dressed exactly like her older counterpart on this ship. Same long flowing robe and same crazy pointless head dress. It looked like they took the same fashion advice. He also saw a family resemblance there mostly in the face.
"Hello?" Ron stood up slowly brushing the weird creature away. As if offended by this action it ran quickly back to its master. The girl watched as he stood up a smile on her face. She seemed to ignore the white fur ball now climbing up her shoulder.
"So you're the villain that my sister been hunting this entire time."
"No kid that would be me." Looking over Ron saw Shego was standing up now. She had a fake smile plastered on her face as she approached.
"Care to help up out of here kid?"
"I don't know. I don't think my sister would like that."
"What she doesn't know won't hurt her." Smiling Shego reached towards the little girl only to have the vines snap around her. With a muttered cruse she withdrew her arm.
"Say if you're not willing to let us go, how about giving us back the sword. It is the buffoon over there after all." Since when was he a buffoon?
The young girl regarded Shego for a second then shook her head. "I don't trust you but he looks nice. I'll let him out to retrieve the sword. Only if he promises to do something for me."
Ron hesitated for a second trying to think what kids want these days. "Ok I'll bite what do you want kid?"
"Give my sister a kiss."
"What?" Ron was shocked to say the least but Shego seemed to be enjoying where this was going.
"She's real lonely and all you know. I think you'd make a nice boyfriend for her." Ron blinked for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"I don't know kid."
"He'll do it." Shego had the biggest grin on her face when she announced this.
Ron frowned more but the young girl seemed happy. "Let him go!"
'Well that's all nice and good but what now?' His question was soon answered as he felt two vines drop from the ceiling and wrap around him. Before he could blink he was sailing through the air and out of his makeshift prison. The impact was a little much though.
While still recovering he heard the footsteps behind him. Rolling over he saw the smiling face of the girl. "Name's Joss Possible. Yours?"
"Ron Stoppable. Can you tell the weird freaky things to be nicer around here from now on?" Ron noticed the slight whine in his voice but felt for once he was justified.
With a smile the girl pointed off in some odd direction. "My sister sleeps there. Remember your promise now."
"Remember Ronnie bring back the sword. I'll get us out of here afterwards." Shego voice reminded him he had a mission.
'Time to go kiss the Princess and steal back my sword.' That sounded odd even to him.
IV.
It wasn't long before Ron made his way to the central structure that dominated this area. All he had to say was not only was this a big ship but they liked to waste space. It wasn't exactly a practical thing for a warship to have its own forest growing after all. Could instead turn the area over for crew quarters and such. In fact the only two people on board he'd seen so far was the alien woman in the beginning who he assumed was the Princess and her sister Joss.
Moving forward he checked around but noticed that no one was around. Slipping through the door he quickly spotted the bed. It was a rather big bed actually with nice big white sheets. It even had a canopy with white sheets on top of that. Through the sheer material of those sheets he could see his target. Now all he had to figure out was where the sword was.
Moving forward he looked around the counters careful not to disturb the sleeping figure. All he could hear from her was a slight mummer occasional and the heavy breathing of someone asleep. Checking again he finally noticed where the sword was. Just his luck that it was located in her right hand.
"Couldn't sleep with a teddy bear like a normal girl can we?" Sighing Ron quietly moved forward intent on plucking the object away. With the slightest of movements he slowly places his hands on the bed allowing it to gradually take his weight. That done he moved slowly towards the sword. Inch by inch. Finally he allowed the bed to take his full weight as he allowed his feet to leave the ground.
'Stupid big beds!' Moving forward he slowly reached for the sword. Carefully his hand moved forward. An inch away from it he heard the alien let out a low growl which made him stop.
"Water doesn't burn!" Frowning Ron marked that odd comment as one he'd never figure out. Reaching out again he barely touched the sword when she turned over towards her left.
'Oh come on!' Cursing mentally he moved forward towards her. Slowly rising above her moving in for the sword.
Once above her he allowed himself to take a good look at her. Her long red hair spread across the pillows. Her pale white complexion and the slight frown of her mouth. The red lips slightly moist and the slight glimpse of pure white teeth. The smooth skin of her neck and the slow steady rising of her chest. She wasn't bad looking.
'Not sexy mind you like Shego but not bad.' She sort of reminded him of those princesses you read of in fantasy novels. She had the same delicate look as if she could be broken with the simple flick of a finger. She looked like a princess should.
Reaching forward he finally snagged the sword and gently removed it. With a smile he began to leave when he felt a sudden impact against him when she promptly turned over again. Looking down he saw a set of green eyes staring back at him.
'Think fast Stoppable! Say something to distract her.'
"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look?"
To be continued...
A/N: Cliffie! Yes I just decided that was a good point to end on. Sorry about the time between updates but the Gundam story was just demanding to be updated first. Anyway I'll try to speed up progress but if a shinny object distracts me like usual it could take a while.
Also for those of you who are wondering. Is Kim as delicate as Ron seems to thinks he is? Well I'd be a sorry author if I didn't let the characters answer that one. Trust me Kim will be showing Ron in the next chapter just how delicate she really is. I'll have fun with that bit.
Anyway a concern a lot of you brought up is that this may be too similar to the original Tenchi story. A few things I'd like to say to persuade you that won't happen.
1.Ron will pick a female. Not now. Not in a few chapters either but he's going to fall in love eventually.
2.Don't expect girls to just fall in love on first sight. Doesn't happen. You'll see soon what Kim does when a strange man appears in her room after all.
3.Plot changes will happen. Character death will also occur in this. Expect anyone to die but Ron. I can't kill him after all or can I? No really I can't.
4.Unlike the Tenchi girls these girls will have a social life. Ron's not so lucky to have a bunch of females ready at his beck and call. Though if he ever got that bribe money through I'd consider it.
5.I just like the number 5.
Anyway hope that helps allay those fears already. Well look forward to a release from another one of my stories eventually. I also got a present in the works for all those K/R fans I've beaten up in my short time as a writer here. My way of saying I'm sorry.
