Kim's #1 fan

Here we go again, you know the drill, thanks to all who read & reviewed, thanks to my beta reader Lone Star, and thanks to Mr. Dr. P

again, I am not an artist so I'd like to see a picture of Kim as a mouse, and her new friend Gadget Hackwrench , and now...

Chapter 4 -It's A Jungle in Here

Shego advanced on the rodents, eyeing them hungrily. She lowered herself to the level of the mice.

"Any last words ?"

Gadget looked at the cat. "Other then 'don't eat us', I can't think of a thing."

"Eat them?"

Shego gave a low growl. She did not need this.

"That wasn't the original plan ." A blue dog stepped into the class . Kim stared at the canine suspiciously , but Gadget breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh , thank goodness. This dog can help us."

Kim grabbed her paw before she could move another step. "Trust me. He's no friendlier then the cat ."

The feline turned her head . "I've got this under control ."

"The only thing that should be under control is your appetite . I want my guinea pigs ."

"Well what's the point of keeping them around ? The penlight is gone ! It's not like we can change back ! "

"Rufus , why'd you bring me here ?

We need to meet Kim ." The naked mole rat tugged at his owner's pant leg , stopping at the door to the classroom . The rodent's mouth hung open as he saw the other animals in the room .

Ron dusted himself off and straightened up. His eyes goggled at seeing the animals in the room , who by now , were all looking at him .

Shego and Drakken , in particular , were looking at the pen-shaped object in his hand . She bared her claws , while he started to growl , revealing sharp ugly looking teeth .

The boy dramatically tugged his collar. "Wow . Aren't I the popular one ?"

"Get him !" Shego leapt at the boy, claws first . He raised his arm and knocked the cat away .

Drakken jumped at Ron , biting his leg. The boy yelled out , causing him to drop the penlight . The device falls to the floor. The red light fired at the cat . She yowled as she could feel her bones shrink and reform . Shego was a mouse , once more .

Kim smiled as she spotted the green rodent across the room . "Now , these odds I like . "

Gadget looked on at Kim . "Are you sure you can handle her ?"

"I can always handle her ." The red haired mouse jerked a paw at the new mouse .

Shego scowled and ran toward her nemesis . She launched her lower paw at Kim , who blocked it with her forepaw . She swept Shego's legs and jumped at her , but , quick as a wink , the green mouse rolled on her back and crouched her legs , sending Kim in the air .

Drakken turned to face the fight . "Hmmm . Three guinea pigs doesn't sound so bad ." To Ron , this souded like growling.

Ron looked down at his little friend . "Rufus , what's going on ?"

A worried tone infected the boy's words.

The dog looked toward the penlight and pawed at it . He couldn't pick it up . He bent down and picked it up with his teeth . He aimed it at the fighting mice toward the wall .

"Don't worry , Shego . Here comes a fighting advantage ," Drakken mumbled through his teeth .

The red light fires at a mouse and enveloped her . The mouse's bones expand , as do it's ears , tail and snout . Where there was once a mouse now stood a Kangaroo .

Beside the marsupial was an angry-looking mouse . "Nice aim , deadeye!"

"Sorry , Shego. I just need to try aga--" The dog's train of thought was interrupted by a pair of feet to his face .

"Don't think so , mate ." Kim covered her mouth . She wasn't expecting an Australian accent anymore then she expected to become a hopping mad kangaroo . "Wow . That's a new one . Ron !" She slid the penlight to him with her tail .

"Wow . Um, thanks... kangaroo."

Kim looked to the naked mole rat .

"Rufus , you need to tell Ron ."

Rufus tugged on Ron's pants and jumped up and down , pointing ."Kim! Kim!" He skittered up the leg into the boys pocket .

Ron twisted the penlight a little . The light fired toward the floor .

The mouse in the lavender jumpsuit was swallowed by the red light . Her bones expanded and she groaned as she crouched down . With one last groan , she raised her head .

"Golly." This time , Gadget's usual exclamation proved to be an understatement , for while she still had her long strawberry blonde hair and light skin tone , the rest of her was markedly different .

"Wow , that was weird ." She cleared her throat . Her voice never sounded so low .

Ron turned toward the unfamiliar voice . "Don't worry , ma'am . You're all right , now..."

He stared at the strange woman across from him . Though he knew he'd never seen her before , it took somewhat longer to register that she didn't have a bit of clothing on her.

"Whoa !" Ron cupped his hand to block out the naked woman . "I'm sorry ma'am ! I had no idea that...it's not that I just go...looking at women...like this ."

"Please call me Gadget ."

"That's a weird name for a women ."

"I'm really a mouse . I met your friend Kim . She's very resourceful ."

"Yeah , she is . You don't know where she is now, do you ?"

As if to answer his question , the kangaroo hopped in front of him . He squinted at her . "Kim ?"

The marsupial nodded her head . Ron reached out his arms and hugged her.

In the excitement , he dropped the penlight . "This is really weird , but nice ." He rubbed her back a little with his hand .

Gadget covered herself . " Um , I hate to interrupt your reunion , but I'm feeling a huge draft ."

Ron turned to face Kim , then took off his jersey and tossed it to Gadget . She slipped it over her lithe human body . Fortunately , the hem was long enough that it reached to halfway down her thighs . "Thank you."

"No problem . My name's Ron , by the way ."

"It's been nice talking to you , but I'd really rather be a mouse ."

"I just need to find that thing that zapped you ." Ron looked around and saw a pale green mouse hefting the penlight over her shoulder .

"Say goodnight Stoppable ."

The red light shot out at the boy . Hair grew all over his body as he shrank . Rufus peeked out as the pants fell to the ground . He put a hand to his head . "What hit me ?"

"Ron ?"

"Kim! I can understand you !" He excitedly climbed up his best friend and hugged her again .

"Um , Ron ?"

"What ? I have something in my teeth ?"

"Not...really ." Kim bit her lip as Ron looked down at himself . He had been turned into...a monkey .

"This I could have done without ."

"You're taking this pretty well ."

"Yeah I guess I am ." Ron let himself drop to the floor . He walked over to Shego and snatched the penlight from her . He turned around and grabbed her with his tail . She struggled as Ron walked back to Kim .

"I promised you Bueno Nacho , Ron . We really ought to get changed back."

He twists the penlight . "Already on it, K P . Good thing I still have opposable thumbs." A red light is emitted , coating Kim .

Her body shrinks and she collapsed . She stands up and looks at herself .

"Yay ! I'm a mouse , again ! Wait..."

Gadget walked over to Kim and cupped the mouse in her hand . "Now this is weird ."

The young woman handed the mouse to Ron and looked to his pants on the floor . She put them on . The simian glared up at her . "Sorry , but people are gonna wonder about me if I'm just wearing a jersey ."

Rufus snorts "Awkward ."

"Ron don't worry ." Kim stood up in his closed hands . "You can trust her."

"Yeah , but it's kinda weird having a girl weird having a girl wear my clothes."

"This day's been full of weird stuff .

Compared to everything else , this is normal ."

The dog slowly rose to his feet and saw the woman walking away . He ran toward her . Rufus jumped at Drakken and bit his leg , causing the dog to howl. Gadget grabbed the penlight and pointed it at him .

Rufus dodged the light , leaving Drakken's body to shrink and reform . He looks down at himself .

"Oh! Why do I have to be a mouse ?"

Kim looked down at the villain . "I'd call that an improvement ." Rufus grabbed Drakken's paws and held them behind his back .

"Some great plan . Was this a part of it , too?"

"Dont give me your lip , Shego ."

Rufus walked Drakken along behind Gadget . "These two are even worse as animals then as humans ."

"You got that right ." Kim smiled a bit .

Ron gave his body the once-over . "You know , this isn't as bad as my nightmares made it out to be ." He twitched his tail , hefting Shego .

"Watch it , Cheetah . I'm getting airsick ."

Gadget looked around at the animals around her and heard the various squeaks and chitters . She shook her head . "I hate being left out ."
