Chapter 6: Lunchtime

Disclaimer: All the Kim Possible Characters belong to Disney. Anna Stoppable and other original characters are of my own creation.

A/N: This takes place during chapter 38 of, "This Is Our Year: College".

It was 11:35 am as Anna and Stacie sat down at a table in the school's cafeteria with trays of lunches. It's been ten minutes since U.S. History class ended and, after a wait in line, Anna and Stacie were ready to eat.

"Hungry?" Anna asked.

"I could eat a horse," Stacie replied.

"I know how you feel," Anna said before taking a bite of her steak. "This steak tastes great!"

"I read that Henry Hudson Preparatory and it's other private sister schools have the best lunch food around," Stacie pointed out before taking a bite of her steak. "Better than a five-star restaurant."

Anna swallowed her bite and asked, "HHP has more than one sister school?"

Stacie swallowed her bite and nodded, "Yes, aside from Reman Manhattan Preparatory in New York City, there are other sister schools on every continent minus Antarctica."

"Amazing!" Anna commented before taking another bite of steak.

Suddenly, a venom voice from behind spoke up, "But what's not amazing is someone like you attending this school."

Anna swallowed her bite of steak before she and Stacie turned to see a girl with brown shaggy hair in a ponytail, teal colored eyes, and tanned skin.

"Who are you?" Anna asked.

"I'm Connie Waller," The girl replied. "And you must be Anna Stoppable."

"That's me."

"The one who people think is the greatest tap dancer in the world."

"Well, I have been rated the greatest tap dancer in the world."

Connie huffed, "Oh please, everyone knows that I'm the greatest tap dancer in the world."

"You tap dance?" Anna asked.

"I do," Connie replied. "And I bet I can beat you at a dance off."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Are you participating in the dance contest Friday?" Anna asked.

"You bet I am," Connie replied. "And I will take great pleasure in tapping my way to 1st."

Anna smirked, "We'll see how you do against the girl who can tap 501 times a minute."

Connie rolled her eyes, "Whatever."

She then turned and walked away.

Anna and Stacie turned back to each other before the latter spoke, "Looks like you now have a rival."

Anna nodded, "I totally agree with you, and she kinda reminds me of a certain ballerina."

"Bonnie Rockwaller?" Stacie asked.

"Yes," Anna replied. "My sworn enemy."

"So, aside from meeting a Bonnie wannabe for the first time, how are you liking school so far?" Stacie asked, changing subjects.

Anna smiled, "I love it! Great teachers, great classes, and great students minus Connie."

Stacie smiled, "I'm glad you are enjoying school. Now, let's eat before lunchtime is over."

With that, the two girls went back to eating their lunches.

A few minutes later, at 11:55 am, Anna and Stacie finished their lunches.

"That was great," Anna commented before she wiped her lips with a napkin.

"The food is always great," Stacie commented.

Suddenly a thought popped into Anna's head.

"Say, Stacie?" Anna asked.

"Yes, Anna?" Stacie answered.

"The dance contest Friday," Anna said. She then asked. "What song are we gonna tap dance to?"

"I was thinking about tapping to Blake Shelton's version of the song, Footloose by Kenny Loggins," Stacie replied.

Beep Beep Beep Beep

"What up, Wade?" Anna answered the Kimmunicator.

"Anna, Vera Miller wanted me to pass on a message from her to you," Wade announced.

"What's the sitch?" Anna asked.

"Vera has announced that she and Chloe will be moving to Portland, Oregon," Wade replied. "Vera's skills as a tutor have been recognized by Super Tutors in said city and state and they offered her a job tutoring children there and she accepted. She and Chloe have already finished packing and they're planning on leaving tomorrow morning. Vera apologizes for not telling you and your parents sooner and was hoping that you guys will be alright with her decision to go."

"Do Mom and Dad know about this?" Anna asked.

Wade shook his head, "Not yet."

"Can you put me through to them?"

"Sure."

Wade typed a few keys on his keyboard and Kim and Ron appeared on the bottom half of the screen.

Both Kim and Ron smiled, seeing their daughter and her best friend.

"Hey Anna, hey Stacie," Kim waved.

Anna waved back, "Hey Mom, hey Dad."

"Hey, Kim and Ron," Stacie added.

"Are you two having a bon-diggity day at school?" Ron asked.

"Well, aside from a Barkin and a Bonnie wannabe we're loving it," Anna replied.

Kim and Ron's smiles faded.

"Stevie Barkin is a teacher there now?" Ron asked in disbelief.

"Well, its his twin-brother, Regan," Anna replied. "As for the Bonnie wannabe, she looks like Bonnie as a pre-teen, only her name is Connie Waller."

Stacie then realized something and spoke up, "Anna, I'm so sorry to rush things but I think now's the time to tell your parents before the bell rings."

"Tell us what?" Kim asked.

Anna sighed, "Vera and Chloe will be moving away to Portland, Oregon."

"How come?" Ron asked. "I thought they were gonna be moving to Broy."

"Vera accepted a job she was offered at Super Tutors in Portland, Oregon and will be leaving tomorrow morning," Anna said in an apologetic tone. "She apologizes for not telling us sooner and was hoping if we will be alright with her decision to go."

"Who's gonna drive you to school; give you tap dance and karate lessons; and babysit you, Ike, and Hana?" Ron asked.

Stacie quickly thought of something and spoke up, "Perhaps my parents could drive me and Anna to and from school. As for tap dance and karate lessons, my mother is a dance instructor and my father is a Martial Arts instructor."

Anna soon thought of something and spoke to Kim, "You can also contact Dr. Director and have her find someone at GJ to watch over me, Ike and Hana. Perhaps Agent Sabre could help."

Kim nodded, "That sounds like a plan."

Ron then spoke up, "Wade, contact Aunt Vera and tell her that we support her decision. That, and get us a reservation at Antin's for tonight; I think we should have dinner with her and Chloe one last time."

"And tell Chloe that there will always be a place open for her with the Empire State Tappers," Anna added.

Wade nodded, "I'll get to it. Wade out."

After Wade disappeared from the screen Kim and Ron looked at their daughter and smiled.

"We'll talk to you later, Anna," Kim said with a wave.

Anna waved, "I'll talk to you and Dad later too. I love you both."

"We love you too, AC," Ron added.

"Bye."

"Bye."

After the screen went black, Anna turned back to Stacie.

"Let's go put our trays in the wash before the bell rings," Anna suggested.

Then, as if on cue, the bell rings.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Well, Vera and Chloe will be moving away. Fortunately, Anna has a way to get to and from school, take dance and karate lessons, and have someone babysit her, Hana, and Ike.

There's a Bonnie wannabe at HHP. How much trouble will she be?

Uncertain.

Also, what's next during Anna's first day of school?

That, you'll find out.
