The next morning, the guests, sans Kim, and staff sat down to breakfast.

"Wow, this looks good," Tyler replied, looking at bacon on his plate "you sure delivered on your promise."

"Of course I did," Stan replied "I mean, it's not like I sent Soos down to the local diner and had him buy whatever he could get for 12 bucks."

"That reminds me Mr. Pines, the diner said they'd let you have extra food if you advertise for them," Soos commented.

"Tell them no deal," Stan replied "or rather, you would tell them, if I had sent you down to the diner; but I didn't, so you won't."

"Whatever you say," a confused Soos replied, and walked off.

"Wow Dipper, look at all the people at our little table," an amazed Mabel commented.

"Yeah, Grunkle Stan managed to get a whole five guests," Dipper said "maybe his hotel idea wasn't so crazy after all. No wait, yes it was."

"I don't know about you younguns,' but I'm having a great time!" Old Man McGucket said "beats sleeping at the dump."

Meanwhile, Tara was enjoying her breakfast when Kim finally made it down to the table. "Hey Kim, what kept you?"

"Bathroom emergency," the redhead replied "I had to wait for this bearded guy to finish so I could go in there and make myself look halfway presentable."

"Sorry about that little missy, but I like to make sure my beard is free of ticks and other critters before I start the day," McGucket told her. Then he felt something moving and dug his hand into his beard, pulling out a possum "oops, looks like I missed one; well, on your way little feller," he added, letting it down and allowing it to scamper off.

"Ugh, that's wrong sick," Kim commented "I don't think I have an appetite anymore."

"Ooh, me and Rufus will eat your share, if you're not feeling well," Ron told her.

"Uh huh," Rufus added.

"Be my guest," Kim said, sliding the plate over to Ron, where he and the little mole rat proceeded to devour the food.

At that moment, Wendy finally arrived "hey, new teenagers, sweet," she said, sitting down next to the kids "name's Wendy Corduroy; I take it you're not from around here."

"How'd you guess?" Kim asked jokingly "I'm Kim Possible, and that's Ron Stoppable, Rufus, & Tara."

"Wait, you name is seriously Kim Possible?"

"That's what it says on my driver's license," Kim told her.

"Sorry, it's just that, it's a weird name; like meeting a person who was really named 'Seymour Butts,'" Wendy explained "but that doesn't make it any less cool. Anyway, I'm going to be blowing this place later to hang with my friends. You should come, I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"Love to, can't," Kim told her "I've got something way important to do. Maybe later."

"I'll come, I don't have anything to do," Tara chimed in.

"Sweet, see you later," Wendy said, as she got up "and I hope I'll see you and Ron later too," she said to Kim before leaving.

"Ah man, all the food's gone!" Ron whined, after he and Rufus finished Kim's plate "come on buddy, let's go to the kitchen and talk with the chef."

They got up and left, as did McGucket & Tyler, leaving Kim with Tara and the twins. Just then, she heard the familiar ring of the Kimmunicator.

"Did your watch just beep?" Mabel asked.

"Yeah, it's an alarm," Kim explained "um, I need to go check on this, excuse me," she said, getting up and heading to the nearby corridor. Wade's familiar visage then appeared on the screen.

"Hey Kim, how are you?"

"Terrible," Kim replied "we decided to spend the night at this so-called 'hotel,' which, as far as I can tell, is some tourist trap that was quickly converted into one. The rooms here are ferociously small, and there's only one bathroom. And do not get me started on the owner. The only bright spot so far was the spa, which is as crude as the rest of the place, but delivers good service."

"That bad, huh?" Wade asked.

"Let me put it this way," Kim replied "I've visited primitive villages and jungles, and those were paradise compared to this place."

"If you want, I can leave a negative review on Yelp," Wade suggested.

"No, never mind," Kim told him "so what's up?"

"I traced Monkey Fist's e-mails like you wanted and I found out he's been corresponding with someone named Gideon Gleeful."

"Who?" Kim asked.

"He was apparently a child psychic," Wade explained "my info says he was recently incarcerated for some crime he committed."

"Well, maybe I'll just stop by the prison and have a little chat with this Gideon," Kim said "thanks for the info Wade, keep me posted if you have anything else."

Kim signed off then turned around, only to find herself confronted by Mabel.

"Hi, I couldn't help but overhear you talking to that Wade guy, mostly cause I wandered in here and listened to you," the girl said "but if you're going to see Gideon, then Dipper and I are coming with you."

"I appreciate it, but Ron and I can handle it," Kim told her "besides, I don't want you getting into any danger."

"Pfft, please, me and Dipper handle dangerous stuff all the time," Mabel told her "besides, we know Gideon."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, he's like our arch-enemy; he was always trying to get his hands on the Shack," Mabel told her "oh, and make me his girlfriend, Ha! As if I'd ever go out with that little troll!"

"I guess you do know the town better than I do," Kim mused "all right, I'll let you come."

"You won't regret this," Mabel told her "on an unrelated note; why do you have a watch with a guy that appears in it? Are you some kind of spy?"

"Not so much 'spy,' as 'world saving teen hero'," Kim told her "I'm actually surprised people here have never heard of me."

"Gravity Falls doesn't get any news from the outside world," Mabel said "oh man, I can't believe you're a hero! How many times have you saved the world? Ten? A million?"

"Too many to count," Kim told her "I'll tell you more later, but first, I need to get Ron."

So saying, Kim headed to kitchen, where she found Ron talking with Soos.

"Dude, thanks for teaching me how to make nacos," he replied "it's like, one of the few Hispanic foods I've never had."

"Yeah well, they're kind of a rare treat," Ron told him "enjoy them my man."

"Come on naco boy, we've got to go, Wade may have found a lead on Monkey Fist," Kim said, grabbing him by the arm and taking him out.

"Hey, if you're up for it dude, come to the arcade later," Soos told him.

"Ah, arcade! Can I Kim?"

"We'll see," Kim replied "now suit up, it's mission time."


And so, a few minutes later, the teens, accompanied by the Mystery Twins, made their way down the streets of Gravity Falls. Mabel, of course, had asked Kim a dozen or so questions.

"Does being a teen hero get in the way of your social life?" Mabel asked.

"Oh yeah, but you learn to get used to it."

"Mabel, I think we should be focusing more on this Monkey Fist guy and what Gideon was mailing to him," Dipper told her "remember, Gideon had one of the journals, and there's no telling what dangerous things lay within it."

"Journals?" Kim asked.

Dipper pulled his out from his vest "I found this journal out in the woods; it's written by a mysterious author and details all of the strange things found in this town," he explained "Gideon apparently had the second one in his possession, but I have no idea where it went when he was arrested."

"A journal filled with dangerous supernatural stuff? Sounds right up Monkey Fist's alley," Kim replied "he's always researching mystical stuff."

"Not to mention monkey related," Ron added "guy has a theme."

"Dipper, does your journal say anything about monkeys?" Mabel asked.

"No, but the other one might," Dipper said "there's all sorts of mysteries in this town we have yet to unlock."

The gang made their way down the street when Ron stopped; "no way" he said "um, Kim, I think you might want to look at this."

Kim stopped and came over to where Ron was standing. She noticed the flyer that was posted to the pole.

"Looking for fun and excitement?" she read "then why not join the employ of Dr. Drakken. Good pay, flexible hours, all equipment provided. If interested, report to the Skull Fracture bar," she finished "this is not good."

"I'll say, since when does Drakken offer flexible hours?" Ron asked.

"I was referring to Drakken being in Gravity Falls at all," Kim said "it's bad enough we have to deal with Monkey Fist."

"You don't think those evil dudes are working together, do you?"

"Oh yeah," Kim replied "and if they are, things have just gotten way worse."

"Um excuse me, but who's this Dragon guy?" Mabel chimed in

"Drakken, he's my arch-enemy," Kim explained, "he's a mad scientist who wants to take over the world."

"Although he has settled for the occasional city or country," Ron noted.

"I'm going to pay a visit to this Skull Fracture; maybe I can find out what Drakken's planning."

"Um, what about, you know, visiting the jail and talking with that Gideon kid?" Ron asked "isn't that why we're out here in the first place?"

"You guys go ahead without me."

"I don't like this Kim."

"Your concern for me is touching Ron, but I'll be okay," Kim assured him "it's only Drakken, and most likely Shego, I can handle them."

"I'm coming too!" Mabel exclaimed.

"Sorry, not happening."

"Look, you don't even know where the Skull Fracture is, I do."

Kim sighed "Okay fine, but if there's any fighting, you don't get involved, understand?"

"You got it."

"Meet you two at the jail, okay?" Kim said, giving Ron a kiss on the cheek before running off with Mabel.

"I'm not sure I like the idea of my sister running off to help spy on a super villain," Dipper said.

"It's cool dude, Kim will make sure she doesn't get hurt."

"Yeah, you don't know Mabel very well."


A few moments later, the two appeared outside the Skull Fracture; strangely, the heavily tattooed & pierced bouncer was not there.

"Oh yeah, this looks like a nice cozy place for a meeting," Kim replied sarcastically, before turning to Mabel "stay there, and don't do anything."

"No problem," Mabel said.

Making sure the coast was clear, Kim opened the door and peered inside. She saw the place was occupied by a large number of unsavory, muscular, lowlife types.

"Okay, now I see why Drakken wanted to meet here," she commented.

Slipping inside, Kim scanned the area until she noticed a familiar blue skinned person talking with a large man covered in tattoos & piercings.

"Come on, I could use someone with your strength helping me," Drakken told him.

"I don't know man," the bouncer replied "I like some of what you're saying, but I'm just not feeling the red outfits. Could I get one in a different color?"

"I usually buy the jumpsuits in bulk," Drakken explained "If you want a different color one, I'd have to special order it."

"I'd cancel that order if I were you."

"Kim Possible!" Drakken exclaimed, seeing the girl standing near the doorway "how did you find me?"

"Actually, I was tracking Monkey Fist, who I assume you're working with," Kim explained "finding you was just a bonus. And now, I'm going to stop whatever you have planned."

"I doubt that," Drakken said "attention various low lifes; one hundred dollars to one who takes her out!"

Immediately, several of the toughs rushed Kim, who kicked one. She then somersaulted unto one of the nearby tables and performed the splits to take out another two. Grabbing the rim of the table, Kim swung around and knocked another guy into the bar.

"Hey, I'm drinking here!" a guy at the bar yelled.

Kim then flipped off the table and performed a somersault, landing perfectly.

"Wow, she's amazing!" Mabel commented, as she looked in.

Another guy tried to sneak up on her, but Kim grabbed his arm and flipped him over. Unfortunately, she failed to notice another guy, who grabbed her in a crushing grip.

"Let go of me!" she said, and struggled, but to no avail.

"Not so tough now, are you, Kim Possible?" Drakken gloated, getting closer "and now, I'm going to take care of you before you have a chance to foil my plans."

"Oh man, I gotta help Kim! But what can I do?" Mabel wondered, until she thought of something.

Sneaking into the bar, she approached a tough looking guy, who, like the others in the bar, were watching how things unfolded.

"Excuse me," Mabel said, grabbing his pants to get attention, until he looked down at her "I heard that guy over there say your tattoo looked stupid," she said, pointing to the guy holding Kim.

"He what?!" the tough guy asked, and began to head over to him.

"Hey blue man, where's my hundred bucks?" the guy holding Kim asked.

"You'll get it, once I eliminate Kim Possible," Drakken told him.

Just then, the guy Mabel had talked to walked over. "So, you think my tattoo is stupid, huh?" he asked, "well take this!" and punched the guy in the face, causing him to lose his grip on Kim, who slipped away.

"Bar fight!" another guy yelled, and the various toughs began beating each other up, using fists, chairs, or whatever was handy.

"Now gentlemen, I'm sure we can settle this….aaah!" Drakken yelled as a bottle nearly hit him, causing him to dive under a table.

Meanwhile, Kim & Mabel had beaten a hasty retreat.

"Spankin' work back there Mabel," Kim told her.

"It was nothing," Mabel replied.

"That should keep Drakken occupied for awhile," Kim said "hopefully long enough to talk to this Gideon kid and maybe find out what he's planning."


Next time, our heroes visit Gideon and learn the villains' plan, but it may be too late to stop them, when they learn that someone they know becomes their target.
