"DING DONG."
Paul presses the doorbell and patiently waits for the door to open. The door is unlocked and opened by a women.
"Paul!" the women says.
"Hey Roz, I told Wade if I could come over today." Paul says.
"Of course. He already told me he would have a visitor over today. It's the first visitor he's ever had for a friend. Come on in." She says whispering the second sentence.
"Thank you." Paul enters the house and he sees Wade inside the living room playing on a old school Gameboy.
"Hey Wade." Paul waves towards the young boy.
"Paul! What's up man?" Wade pauses his game and gives the teen a handshake.
"I'm good thanks, I brought my laptop with me today." Paul says pulling his backpack straps to gesture his laptop. Coming straight from school to hangout with Wade. Something Kim has never done, nor Ron. Neither even meeting Wade in person... ever!
"Outstanding. We can go into my room and check it out. My room is pretty badical."Wade says showing the way towards his room.
"Badical? Did you and Kim read the same vocabulary book when you two grew up?" Paul noticing the sang words when he's been around Kim. They appeared to rub off from her to Wade.
"We just copy some slang off each other sometimes." Wade says holding his doorknob. "Well here it is. This is where all the magic happens." He opens up the door to see a big room, with dark blue walls and massive computer set up with gadgets laying about on the desk. They looked all to be homemade. Man this guy was good! He had a pretty cool set up too.
"Woah! Wade. You're room is unbelievable!" Paul says staring in awe at the young boys room.
"Thanks. I saved all my graduation and birthday money to build all of this." Wade says, as Paul admires his set-up. Paul wonders how much graduation money he got. This was a premium set up.
"Man… It's like I'm in the FBI supercomputer room. Or one of those server cooling rooms they have at a HQ."
"(Laughs), That's nothing compared to what I have. Check this out. Walls are soundproof. PC has a GTX 1660 with 6GB. 32GB of RAM. Cooling processor. 27inch Monitor Screen at 180HZ. The cable you bought me to quick charge my phone. And a soda cup dispenser. One of my many gadgets that I invented. Wanna see my inventions?" Wade says, showing Paul he's set up, before asking the question about showing his gadgets.
"Do I ever." Paul says, eager to see what Wade's innovation skills he has for show.
Wade showed Paul all of his inventions. Wade was a recycled inventor. He can build anything from household items and… Viola. He would make something incredible, from his own house.
"This is unbelievable Wade!" Paul says admiring Wade's endless row of inventions.
"Thanks. I appreciate it. It's pretty easy for me to build these sort of contraptions." Wade says taking pride in his work.
"No wonder Kim relies on your expertise and knowledge."
"Yeah, this job doesn't pay, but some of the favours that she receives comes in handy. Kim lets me use a few favours from time to time. A sponsorship would be nice though." Wade says.
"So she does the save the whole world thing, for free... Wow. At least she has a reputation and up most respect from a lot of people."
"You bet she does." Wade says.
"Check this out Paul. I've got to show you something. Gimme a second."
Wade walks towards his PC and takes a seat on his chair.
As Wade types away, Paul decides to take a look around his room, admiring the interior design. He starts looking at a few picture frames near his PC. Some of his family, of himself and Paul then freezes at a certain photo frame. He recognises two people within that photo. It was Kim and…
…
And…
….
….
Ron?
...
What!
WAIT! Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait. HOLD ON A SECOND..
How did they know each other?
Paul eyes lit up and he notices the two teens in the same picture.
Both of them were smiling in the picture. Kim wore braces in the photo and Ron was... Ron. But slightly younger. Slightly.
The same that guy he bumped into in London.
...
Wait a second…
Paul's brain begins to process something. He starts to break down the last two months.
…
Okay...
Paul met a guy in London named Ron. Ron Stoppable
He had a good day with him and hung out. He looked a bit down, but Paul cheered him up. He mentioned about his friend KP... quite a lot.
He never mentioned what these initials stood for.
He assumed it was a guy. I mean KP could mean anything! Right?
...
In America.
Paul went to school and meet Kim, aka his crush. She said her best friend named Ron, left America.
She's never mentioned his destination or his surname in all of there conversations they've had.
The only thing was that Ron's story and Kim's story matched and both intertwined with each teens other story. Paul thought it was a coincidence. Now, he's starting to think otherwise now.
Both teens are in the same photo.
Kim Possible initials are…. K and…P!
He already clicked it in the first 3 clues he mentioned. He was just double checking...
..
.
OF COURSE!
Ron from London! Is Kim's Best Friend!
AHH! Oh god! How did he miss that!
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable were best friends!
And it took him two freaking months to just realise that now!
He should become an private investigator. He would get the job done quick...
"Ahh I see you're looking at that photo. I got that from Kim during their last summer holidays. That's Kim in the photo of course and that's her best friend and former sidekick-"
"Ron Stoppable!" Paul interjects Wade.
"Yeah! How did you know his name? Almost no one remember his name." Wade asks curious.
"Know him? (Breathy Laugh) Hell I met him in London!" Paul exclaims this bombshell that's been revealed to him.
"Well, that makes sense- Did you just say you met him!" Wade says, as he stopped typing after hearing this.
"Yep. And it took me almost 2 flippin months to realise this!" Paul says picking up the frame and stares at it. How stupid could I be!
"Wait a second! Are you sure it's him?" Wade asks.
"Unless he has had a face transplant in the last 2 months or so. 100% it's him." Paul says confirming it was him.
"… Surely it's a coincidence. The mind usually plays tricks with you, when you see similar faces and it's not actually them." Wade says not entirely convinced.
"Ron Stoppable. Clumsy, a bit weird, but a unique type of character. He isn't that bright. Loves Bueno Nacho, wrestling and has a fear of monkeys. Amongst other things he told me." Paul says revealing quick and easy details of his friend from overseas.
"… Holy Sh-" Wade was about to swear before Paul interjected him.
"AH! You're too young to use profanity man." Paul says.
"Sorry, but I can't believe you meet Ron!" Wade says in disbelief. What were the chances of meeting a guy, who came from Australia, met Ron in the United Kingdom, met Kim, went to the same school as her in America, met Wade, bought him a cable with his generosity and it was the same guy that administrates Kim's website. What a small world! The odds of that happening are almost impossible and highly unlikely. There's more of a chance of winning a billion dollars than that happening.
"Yeah. And it took this long for it to connect together Usually I pick up things quite quickly."
"Well, in all fairness, there's a lot of things that could have been coincidences. You happen to be in many right places at the right time. The chances of that happening are significantly low." Wade says.
Both boys were quiet for a few seconds, before Wade spoke up again.
"So... What do you think of him?" Wade asks.
"Ron? On a personal level. He's a nice guy. I wouldn't mind actually hanging out with him again." Paul admits. Ron was a really friendly guy. He was a fun guy too. Plus he made the sightseeing trip better.
"Really?"
"Sure, why not? I had a good time with him." Paul says.
"Only meeting once though?"
"You can't judge a person by its cover Wade. He seems like a very loyal person. You've got to feel for him though. Leaving his only best and closest friend behind. I wish I could help him out."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. It was hard for Kim. I don't think she's entirely over it yet." Wade says, knowing what Kim's been through when Ron left.
"I feel her pain. That's like me with my best friends back at home." Paul admits, "Plus I know she's been struggling with some of her missions."
"It's not a lot actually. It's just her main 4 that are causing her problems."
"What kind of criminal activities do they do? Bank robberies? Murder? Arson? Fraud? Kidnapping? Extortion? Isn't that a bit too extreme and difficult for her? Especially going in by herself." Paul says caring for the young teen. He didn't want her to get killed out there.
"Oh god no. They like to achieve world domination, take over golf courses and taking over Canada."
"Canada?"
"Apparently Drakken believes in their high literacy rate, good health care system, their clean cities and Drake." Wade says.
"It is a good country and I do like Drake's music. But why not South Korea? Because it's connected to North Korea?"
"That and the language barrier at times. Only 40% of South Korea can speak English."
"But Canadians speak French. But more people speak English compared to people living in South Korea though." Paul says.
"Yeah. So anyway. Drakken is Kim's main rival." Wade says.
"Drakken eh?." Paul scathes his chin thinking about his name, "I heard you said golf courses? Why would someone want to do with them?"
"You heard me right. Duff Killigan is obsessed with golf. He's banned from every golf course in the world." Wade says.
"Talk about a lifetime ban! And he wants to take them over?" Paul says.
"More like build his own." Wade corrects.
"Hmm, smart and legal. They don't seem that bad. Except for the world domination part." Paul says.
"Kim always manages to stop them before they get a chance to succeed. But now I'm starting to worry about her wellbeing and whether she can stop all 4 before they beat her. From here on out, it will be more difficult. Especially if they all start their second phase of their plan at the same time. It's probably going to lose Kim a lot of her rep if she can't stop them."
Paul thought about helping Kim on so many occasions. He really wanted to help her out. Especially since she's down a partner.
"Why can't I join the team?" Paul asks.
"You? I would love for you to join. You seem like a really great addition to the team. You've got fighting skills, the knowledge and you're really nice." Wade admits his attributes.
"Thanks Wade."
"But... It's not my decision to decide that. Kim makes the calls."
"But she needs to realise that a team makes the calls. Not individuals. There's no 'I' in team." Paul says.
"And you're right. But I'm sorry. If Kim agrees, then you can join. As of now, I've got no authority whether you can join the group."
Paul was thinking of a way for Kim to open her eyes and get him to become one of Team Possible.
"But we can always convince her?" Paul says trying to find a crack in the wall with Kim's stubbornness
"Of course we can. But..." Wade looks around before whispering, "She's a bit stubborn."
Paul hears this and says, "Even if it risks of losing to her big 4 and they succeed?"
"If her stubbornness gets to her. It will tarnish her reputation. It's her Achilles heel. This crime fighting job means the world to her. She loves to help people. But in some circumstances… She needs Ron. But you can fill that void. If we can convince her, then LG." Wade says.
"Life's Good?" Paul says grinning.
"Yes! Ron would have said Lady Gaga or something similar." Wade says as he chuckles.
"That's Ron for you. That's what makes his character."
"You're absolutely right."
Both think in silence, before, Paul suddenly chuckles.
"What's so funny?" Wade asks curiously.
"It's just that... I just realised something. So you've got... Kim Possible? Ron Stoppable? It's like, Impossible and Unstoppable (Laughing) There grandparents must be so proud."
"(Chuckles) Yeah. Small world though." Wade says.
"Indeed it is man. Well, there's a lot of things to discuss about with Kim." Paul says.
"You mean like now?" Wade says.
"I just got here man. Let's chill and hang out first. Then we can break the news to her. And we can try and convince her to get me alongside her with missions."
"Right. But are you prepared to risk your life and take on whatever hits you?"
Paul thinks about this carefully. He knew it was a major risk. He could end up being badly injured or worse... He wanted to help his friend and his crush. He wanted to protect her at all costs.
"I know the risk factors involved. I'm doing this for the greater good, to ensure the world becomes a better place. And especially for Kim."
"You.. You have a crush on Kim. Don't you?" Wade says.
"... Yes." Paul admits to Wade. It was the third person who knew about his crush on Kim. First being Josh, followed by Monique. He wasn't going to beat around the bush with Wade. He wanted to tell him straight. Despite the fact he might tell Kim about it.
"... Well I'm for it. You seem like a great guy. Plus you're kind hearted. Kim really likes guys like that."
"Thanks for your honesty Wade. But it won't work out."
"What do you mean?" Wade says losing his grin.
"Once this program is over. What's going to happen? Most long distance relationships don't last." Paul says thinking about the scenario.
"But you can make it work."
"I mean, I willing to try, but I don't Kim will last long with the long distance relationship."
Wade had to admit, he was right. He was disappointed and hung his head. He tried to be positive with Paul, but that's the reality. Once this Foreign Exchange Program is over, how would both teens handle the situation down the track. That's if they become a couple.
For Paul, it's not worth chasing a relationship outside of his home country and instead just help her out as much as he can, study, make some good friends and investments for his future. If Kim was happy, he was happy. But would Paul be truly happy?
"You're right. Especially if it's the first guy she dates." Wade says.
'She's never had a boyfriend before? Just like me. I haven't had a girlfriend before.' Paul thinks.
"Yeah. If it works, it works. But I can't force Kim. If she likes me enough and we're compatible, then it shows that this relationship will workout. That's if she likes me back though." Paul says, "Say Wade. Do you think we can keep this whole Kim crush between us two only?"
"Don't worry Paul. My lips are sealed." Wade says gesturing a closed lip motion.
"Thanks Buddy." Paul says.
...
"So... What do you wanna do now?" Wade asks.
Paul thinks for a few seconds, before making a suggestion, "Video games?"
"Yes!" Wade says excitedly.
It was another day of school. Kim was walking by herself. Her mum offered to drive her to school after dropping off her brothers, but she declined.
She wanted to walk by herself and recap the last few weeks she's been having.
Oh boy where to begin...
Firstly. Drakken escaped with Shego alongside with a super weapon. Secondly. Professor Dementor escaped with a bone of some sort, which is most likely to be used as a evil doomsday device. Thirdly. Duff Killigan stole a formula which apparently creates instant golf courses. And finally... the Seniors... aren't that threatening, but can be a nuisance. But if they do something evil, they needed to be stopped.
Kim felt like she was under the pump. What if all these villains decide to go on with their plans at the same time! Her goose would truly be cooked! She wouldn't be able to keep up at all.
She really contemplated about whether if she could do everything by herself. Despite only dealing with her big 4 villains once each time since Ron left, she has not been able to take them down. To be fair the Seniors and Duff didn't have world domination plans in mind. But Dementor is a big problem if he gets far. And Drakken's high crime rate can be hard to keep up, especially with such a skilled sidekick as Shego.
She hoped everything this week would be better than the last few weeks. She had to admit, she was a bit more fatigue with some of the other missions she had. But they were fairly ease compared to the others.
But one person made her felt comfortable, relaxed and made her feeling giddy inside.
Paul.
She thought about how nice, comforting and how down on Earth he is. He's like an open book. She's at least now a bit more confident talking around him, compared to the first few encounters they had. But she was still a bit nervous to talk around him. How could she easily talk to Ron all these years and can't even talk normally around him?
She would always cheer up when he's around her. Plus he doesn't hold a grudge.
Speaking of which, he was trying to catch up behind her.
"Kim!" Paul calls out.
Kim turns around, "Paul. Hey. You look like you ran a 100 metre sprint."
"Kim there's something I need to tell you. We need to talk in private."
"Private?" Kim says confused.
'Oh god! He's going to confess he likes me. I don't think my heart can handle this sitch right now.'
"Yes. It's worth it. Just 5 minutes of your time."
'Well it's worth fainting over.' Kim thinks dreamily inside of her mind.
"Sure." Kim says with a small grin thinking about what he has to say to her.
'BRINNNNNNNNG'
"Ah shit. The warming bell. Meet me at the table we sit at in the cafeteria. I'll give you further details, then we can talk somewhere in private." Paul says.
"Okay. Until then, see ya." Kim says as both teens went to their first set of classes for the day.
A few hours later
Kim and Paul take a seat inside a private room filled with computers. They told Josh and Monique that they need to talk to each other in private. Monique thought to herself that Paul will finally reveal the news about what happened last week, about beating up all those jocks. Surely Kim knew when she arrived the day after with all the gossip that's been floating around the school.
Butttttt... She didn't.
"Alright Paul. We're here. Now... What did you want to tell me?" Kim says a bit nervously, hoping what she hopes wont happen. Out of all days!
"Okay. So I went a visited Wade's house-"
"You visited Wade's house? How is it? Is he's room the way I imagine seeing it when he video calls me." Kim says. Thank god she thought to herself. She thought he would confess something to her.
"Well. I've haven't seen you video call him at all. So I don't know what background he uses. Most likely, yes. In fact, it's best we get him to listen to this conversation too and be part of it."
"Okay?" Kim says a bit confused where Paul was heading with this, as she pulls out her Kimmunicator. She stares back at Paul. He nods in approval, she then presses a button, "Go Wade." Kim says unconvinced.
"Hey Kim. What's up?" Kim faces the screen towards the other teen, "Paul! Have you told Kim yet?"
"Told me what? What's going on between the two of you?" Kim activates the kickstand mode for her device to stand on it's own on the table, ensuring both teens can see Wade.
"Well Kim, I'll just get straight to the point." Paul says before clearing his throat, "You see, when I travelled from Australia, I made a stopover in London airport for a period of 24 hours. And I ended up bumping into someone. It's taken me months to realise that... the person who I bumped into was...
...
in fact Ron Stoppable, your best friend." Paul finally admits.
...
...
..
.
DING
"What!" Kim rises out of her seat surprised and shocked.
"That's impossible!" Kim exclaims while standing. How could Paul possibly have met Ron?
"Well 'Anything is possible for a Possible'" Wade says shrugging and grinning at the teen, through the video call.
"Wait a second. So you're telling me, that you. Paul Kanellopoulos-"
"Hehey, you got it right!" Paul interrupts Kim
"It's pretty easy to remember. Now... you bumped into Ron in England..." Kim thinks for a split second before realising something, "(Gasps) You're not the same guy that picked up his wallet and gave it back to him!" Kim says.
"The one and only in the flesh." Paul says.
"Wow! Ron said he had a great time with that person who did that. But he didn't get your name right."
"He didn't?" Paul said surprised, "I wonder why?"
"Well to be fair, he did have his wisdom tooth pulled out, when he spoke to me on the phone about that day." Kim admits, recalling the afternoon Ron called her.
Flashback to a few months ago
"That's great Ron. You could have lost your rewards card."
"Yeah, then my Bueno Nacho points could have been gone like... boof. Like that show Lost, and it's allllllllllllll thanks to Peter. John, Luke. The Bibble. The mighty Jimmy... Is that you Brainy.. Oh I loved the coupon book you gave me... Hey a nickel." Ron says a bit shaky. I mean who wouldn't after getting their wisdom tooth removed. He accidentally hanged up on Kim.
"(Sighs) I'm going well too Ron." Kim says a bit disappointed that her best friend is under the influence of strong painkillers.
"He told you while he was under the influence of pain killers?... Peter is close enough." Paul says while Wade nods in agreement.
"Yeah. I was happy that he made a friend. But I can't believe that it was you!" Kim says amazed.
"I too was surprised when I found out that Ron from London was actually our Ron." Wade adds his input towards the conversation.
"But the question is. When did you realise that Ron from London was our Ron from America?" Kim asks curious.
"When I went to Wade's house, I saw a photograph of you and Ron." Paul states.
Kim recalls giving Wade a photo frame. They consider Wade to be their close friend. It's there to show that the duo cared for the younger kid.
"But didn't he say or mention Kim Possible? He said he hung out with you for hours." Kim asks. Surely Ron mentioned his best friends name.
"KP was a common name for you." Paul says.
"Oh. He didn't say my full name. Hang on. What about his name?"
"He did mention his full name, but no one here mentioned his last name was Stoppable. There's thousands of people named Ron." Paul says.
"And only one named Stoppable." Wade points out.
"Huh. How about that? Well... What a small world." Kim says now smiling.
"That's what I said." Wade says.
"And he said a lot of good things about you. Even though I didn't realise he was referring to you this whole entire time." Paul says now feeling silly how he didn't realise it was Kim, when Ron was talking about the entire time.
"Well he certainly said a lot of good things about you too. He said he was so happy to meet someone that was willing to spend time with him and... well the rest of the conversation was fuzzy to be honest. With his wisdom tooth and all." Kim says.
"I understand." Paul says understanding Ron's predicament.
"But, I'm honestly thankful you met him and spent time with him." Kim says.
"Thanks Kim. I just do what's best. I had spare time to kill. Plus I call him from time to time." Paul says.
"You talk to him?" Kim says.
"Yeah. I spoke to him two days ago."
"Hang on a sec." Kim pulls out her mobile phone and calls someone on loud speaker. The phone rings a few times.
"KP! How are you? I was about to call you and ask a question."
"The answer is probably Macbeth." Paul calls out.
"Thanks!- Wait, that voice? It sounds familiar... Paul! Did you call me? I swear I saw Kim's Name on the Caller ID." Ron says checking the caller ID, mistaking Paul for Kim.
"No Ron. It's me Kim. I've got Paul and Wade here with me." Kim speaks into the phone.
"In person?"
"No. Via video call. But Paul met Wade in person."
"What! Lucky. What a second! How do you know Paul?"
"Ron. It's Paul here. Remember when you kept on telling me about your friend KP?"
"Yeah. KP is short for Kim Possible. I thought everyone knew that?"
"Ron. You can't assume people know my name from my initials. KP could mean anything."
"Example?"
"Kelly Preston, Katie Price, Keke Palmer." Kim lists.
"Kalvin Phillips the English soccer player." Paul points out.
"Katy Perry, or even my status. Paul never even heard of me before he arrived in America." Kim continues.
"Really? Aren't we World-Wide though?"
"Yes, but we can't assume everyone in the world has heard about Kim Possible. Have you heard of BTS?" Kim says.
"Who's that?"
"See. Not everyone knows all the famous bands, celebrities or influencers of the world."
"KP. The Ronman doesn't need all those people to entertain me. The only entertainment is right here... (Flips a Page in the background) (Laughing)."
"Uhh. May I ask, what's he doing?" Paul asks confused on what entertainment is referring too and what he's laughing at.
"Reading MAD Magazine" Wade says.
"I thought they stopped making those?" Paul says.
"He bought a lot of issues of the magazine before the issued their final copy." Wade says.
"Well if he want to keep the nostalgia of those comics, then he can. Might be worth something one day." Paul says.
"Check it out. The allighty ollar... (Laughing)."
"I think he means the All mighty Dollar." Paul corrects.
"Well ain't this a great reunion. Too bad I can't see you guys."
"That can be fixed." Kim presses a button and activates FaceTime. "There."
Ron's face pops up on Kim's phone. "Hey KP, good to see your face. Wade buddy, always good to see you. PK! I can't believe you meet me, Kim and then Wade!"
"I know! It's crazy. Such a small world we live in." Paul says quite surprised that he's met all these teens and they all know each other across from two countries. That's shear luck if you ask me.
"So what's up?"
"We wanted confirmation that you meet Paul while in the United Kingdom. Plus we wanna try and convince Kim to take Paul on missions." Wade says.
"Yep I can confirm it's him." Ron giving a thumbs up.
"Yes, I'm gla-... Did you say... To take Paul on missions?" Kim says.
"Yes. Kim, you need another partner." Wade says.
"You're replacing me!"
"Not replacing Ron. Just temporarily."
"Oh. that doesn't seem bad, huh Rufus." A pink... well skin coloured rat like creature, appeared on his shoulder. "Oh Paul this is Rufus. My Buddy."
"Cheese!"
"Woah! Did that pink... pink... Help me out Wade." Paul asks Wade for his assistance.
"Mole rat." Wade answers.
"Pink Mole rat just talk!" Paul continues where he left off.
"Yep, he's my best buddy."
"That's cool. Especially when...heeee can talk." Paul says unsure of the gender.
"Yeah. He doesn't talk much but still my best pal."
"Buddy!"
"That's nice Ron. I hope you take good care of him." Paul says.
"Can we get back to the part about Paul and missions?" Kim interrupts the Facetime reunion of Ron and Paul.
"Oh right. Well Kim. Wade and I have been talking. And well we've seen you dip in form in regards to your.. top 4 villains or Fab 4 as Wade calls it. Kim I'm more than prepared to lend you a hand with your missions until I finish this program."
"It doesn't sound bad KP. Two heads are better than Three." Ron says referring to Rufus.
"He's got a point Kim. I've made a chart-" Wade pops up a graph but doesn't even get the chance to explain it.
"I don't want to see your graph Wade." Kim reassures interrupting the young kid, "Look Paul, I'm flattered you want to help, but I can't be responsible if something bad happens to you."
"What about Ron?"
"Yeah what about me?"
"His parents let him beforehand. But they wanted him to study a bit more, plus he's a further way from some of the missions here in the US." Kim says.
"Yeah. It tanks!"
"Kim, I can assure you, if anything happens to me.. I'll take the blame and responsibility for myself." Paul says. Knowing the circumstances and conditions when it comes to the whole saving the world sitch.
"Look... I- I don't want you to get hurt Paul. You're my friend." Kim says half-truthy. She liked him and didn't want him to risk his life.
"Thanks that you see me as a friend Kim, but I've already calculated the risks with Wade here. I'm more than prepared." Paul says.
Paul thought to himself that Kim sees him as a friend. He really hoped she sees him more than as a friend. He will never give up though.
"...W-.. We'll see Paul." Kim say a bit unsure.
"Right KP" (*Whispering) That's code for 'Not a chance'))" Ron says whispering to the other two boys.
"I can hear you Ron. I'm right here." Kim says folding her arms. Ron smiles nervously.
'KNOCK KNOCK'
"Hey Paul. You almost finished in there. We wanted to get started playing our Digimon card game." One of the teens with the glasses speaks.
"Oh right. Sorry boys. Ron we've got to jet. Talk to you in a few hours buddy."
"Okay PK. KP. Wade. Take care."
"You too Ron." Kim says before hanging up.
"Well that's out of the bag. Talk to you too later. Wade out." Wade says before signing off from her device.
"PK?" Kim says smiling, "Ron seems to be good friends with you already."
"Well if he gives me a shorten nickname, then yeah. Plus he seemed to enjoy himself when I was around. Thanks for letting me use the room boys." Paul says to Kim, before he thanks the group of boys for letting them use their room.
"No problem Paul. You saved our keisters last week. Boy that girl doesn't know when to stop." The other nerdy teen says.
'Girl? Doesn't know when to stop? What's he blabbing about' Kim thinks curiously.
"What's he talking about?" Kim asks Paul curiously.
"Nothing. Nothing. I helped them out, that's all" Paul says truthfully, missing major details.
"O-kay... Ready for lunch?"
"Yep. I'm glad I told you about Ron." Paul says.
'Now I've got to find the right time again about those jocks!' Paul says in his head. He wished the young group of tech boys gave him an extra few minutes for Paul to explain to Kim what went down last week.
There's always next time. But it has to be a good time to say it.
"I'm glad too. You're a really great guy Paul."
"Aw, stop Kim. I like making new friends. That's all."
"I'm serious. Ron's... had a hard time making new friends since he was in Kindergarten. Bonnie always treating him bad. Especially moving overseas. I'm all his got."
'Plus I think it's sweet and cute you make friends with someone to cheer their up. He's was unhappy that he left home. And you made him happy again. That's what I like about you. You have a good heart.' Kim thinks.
"Ah man! I don't realise it was this bad." Paul says.
Bonnie sure causes a lot of problems at this school.
He wished there was a way to make things normal again and get Ron back here.
But how?
It was beyond difficult. It was out of his hands.
"Well. We can always talk to him together." Kim suggests.
"That sounds good. Plus we can help him with his homework."
"Don't help him fully. He's lazy at times. Once we were project partners and he only contributed 10% while I did 90%" Kim admits, remembering a time in Middle School
"Ouch. He probably got an easy 'A'" Paul says.
"Because of me!" Kim says.
"Exactly." Paul says.
Kim chuckles. She was thankful that the person who went out of his way to cheer Ron up and hanged out with him, was walking right next to her. Who happened to be her crush and the crush for the other teen as well. They both obviously don't know that they have a crush on each other. Their both pretty oblivious about it when they're together.
A few days later
Somewhere in South Dakota
Inside a lab in South Dakota, three security guards were inside monitoring the security cameras.
"So Johnny got any plans after your shift?" One of the guards says to the other one sitting on the swivel chair watching the monitors.
"Well, I was planning on watching some paint dry and organising my junk mail before the weekend starts.." Johnny says turning around.
"Oh lucky."
"What about you Carl?" Johnny says, but fails to notice the monitors shutting off one by one.
"Running candidate for South Dakota senator."
"Ha... Nerd." Johnny says, as all the monitors behind him were off.
"Hey, what happened to all the-"
'KABOOMMMM!'
A large explosion occurred. All three security guards fell to the floor a bit sore after this explosion. Drakken enters through the major hole in the wall holding a large weapon.
"Aha! It worked! It actually worked!" Drakken says excited that his machinery... My mistake, 'stolen' machinery worked.
"Come one doc, let's find this disc and leave. This places gives me the creeps." Shego says following the doctor. But it wasn't entirely the truth.
"Fine. Henchman! Tie up the guards." Drakken says pointing towards the wounded guards.
The henchman followed Drakken orders, tying up the guards with rope.
"You won't get away with this!" Carl the security guard says, with a bruise on his face.
"Yeah. That paint ain't gonna dry itself." Johnny adds.
"The silent alarm has already alerted the local authorities." Carl says.
Drakken puts his hand to his ear, "I don't hear anything... Oh yeah, maybe I scrabbled the silent alarm frequency, preventing it from sending it's signal."
All three guards gulp nervously.
Drakken ventures forwards towards a rather large safe. He powers up his weapon and blasts the safe open.
It was absolutely enormous the safe. But was only holding a small DVD sized disc right in the middle. Drakken approaches the disc and picks it up.
No alarms?
"Haha. Yes. I finally have it!"
"One disc boss? That's what we break in for?" One of the henchman points out as he duct tapes the guards mouths.
"It's not the disc itself. It's what is inside that matters." Drakken says, "Now lets vamoose! The jam device will expire in a few minutes."
Shego disables all the secuirty cameras. Clearing any evidence of their presence before taking all the footage.
All of Drakken's henchman hurry out of the lab. As Drakken uses the device to undo the damage he did previously on the safe and the big hole in the wall making the lab's normal again, like they didn't even smash it to begin with.
Then Drakken activates the device with a forcefield type of energy beam on the entrance and around the lab's walls. Once his done, he heads towards the getaway vehicle.
They all get inside the hovercraft and speed away into the sky.
Drakken watches his jam device carefully, "Any second Shego, where not that far away from exiting the air space."
Airspace Traffic Control
Somewhere in South Dakota
"Hey Roger? You see any funny activity near that lab?"
"Lab?"
"You know the 'Laboratory'?"
"..Oh...Ohhh! Nope. There's no activity at all." Roger says, as he turns away from his monitor. A small aircraft can be shown on the screen.
"Keep the ship steady Shego! I need the device to be stable as possible." Drakken says trying not to hurl, as he holds the device.
"I can't control turbulence Drakken!" Shego exclaims.
"Well try harder!" Drakken yells back.
"I'll have another look," Roger says, but before he turns around the aircraft disappears off his monitor.
"Nope" He looks back seeing no aircraft, "Still nothing" Roger says.
"That's it! We are officially out of Airspace control." Drakken switches off the device. They keep on flying out to ensure they are all clear from Air Force jets.
"Good work Roger. They'll make you floor manager one day. Keep an eye on anything that comes near that lab."
"Yes sir." Roger says.
After minutes of flying out of the airspace, they noticed they weren't stopped yet. Drakken's plan worked!
"We did it! We actually did it Drakken!" Shego says in disbelief. They went in dumb and loud, and it paid off. The have officially left the secret base in South Dakota... undetected!
"Haha, we got'em."
Drakken slaps his knee grinning.
"Someone pore Powerade over Comrade, we got'em" Drakken says grinning but his eye widen realising where they were.
"Wait! Not on the ship! It was a figure of speech. Alright let's go hom-"
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP INITATE 24 HOUR LOCKDOWN"
"What the blue collar cheese was that?" Drakken says shuffling in his seat, over the loud sound.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP LOCKDOWN COMMENCED, LOCKDOWN WILL END IN 23 HOURS 59 MINUTES AND 55 SECONDS."
"It's a bomb! Get down!" Drakken shouts before cowering in fear inside the hovercraft.
Shego didn't even flinch, she noticed the Disc they stole appeared to have a small screen on it.
"Uh Doc? It's not a bomb. It's the countdown for the Disc." Shego says.
"What do you mean Shego!" Drakken says, as he stops cowering in fear.
"Look!" Shego points towards the disc.
Drakken looks at the disc, showing a countdown timer. It had 23 Hours 59 minutes 40 seconds left on it.
"Blast! My plan was almost perfect."
"What do we do now boss?" One of the henchman says.
"We will do what we do best. Go back to the lair and wait for the countdown to end while I drink my coco moo."
Shego gives off a sigh of relief. She was glad that she didn't have to lay low in South Dakota anymore. What a dreadful month that was.
She drives back to the Caribbean lair, where they now have to wait for the disc to unlock to reveal all the juice information inside of it.
"Don't you mean coffee?" Shego points out.
"And be high on caffeine for the next 24 hours? I wanna sleep in peace and get my beauty rest, before being ready for world domination. Speaking of... I've got to make a phone call." Drakken says getting his phone out of his pocket, as he dials a number.
"Hello Hench Co.
Yes, I'd like to make a purchase.
Yes I do.
No that won't happen again.
I promise it won't
That's right
The cheapest ones you have for the next 24 hours.
Also security for my lair.
An hour or delivery is free. Excellent!
(Maniacal Laugh)"
The person on the other end hangs up, as Drakken stops laughing after hearing the long continuous beep sound. He pockets his phone.
The hovercraft continues to fly through the distance, time was of the essence now. Only a few people knew what had happened. And now they were stuck inside the sealed base with no help whatsoever. Protected by a forcefield sort of energy. This was Kim's chance to get them. But she had no clue what's going on with Drakken on his end. He had to play it smart, keep out of sight and hope that no one saves those guards within the next 24 hours. He had to play the wait game.
God speed Kim Possible. God speed.
Author Notes:
- Mmmm, The disc had one freaking job. Drakken's plan was almost perfect. Too perfect actually. Will Kim retrieve the disc in time or will Drakken finally one up the teen hero. Surely Not!
- Finally! Our character now knows the truth about Ron and Kim. But still doesn't know Ann, James, Tim and Jim are in fact Kim's family. When will he know!
- The allighty ollar joke is from the Simpsons. It's from the episode 'Team Homer' S07 E12.
