Kim and Shego have dealt with their problems at the High School and with the Doctors Possible... Now comes their
greatest challenge yet: Doctor Drakken...
Chapter 7: Trouble is brewing...
"Doctor Drakken has ordered the lair to full alert and you've been added to the target list. He's also sent out teams
of henchmen to Kim Possible's house with orders to take her alive." Levi whispers.
"How long do I have?"
"Not long... the teams are moving out now..." He whispers.
"Hey! You! What are you doing?!" A man in the background says.
"Save her!" He orders.
"Give me that phone!" The man demands. Then the line goes dead. She pockets the cell phone and then walks back
into the other room.
"The shit has officially hit the fan. Mom, where are the tweebs?" Kim asks.
"What? What's going on?" Ann asks.
"Doctor Drakken just ordered his henchmen to come here and take you all prisoner. He's also added me to the target
list at the lair." Kim says. "Now, where are the tweebs?"
"They're at a friend's house." Ann says.
"Call them up and tell them to get outside. Go and get them then go to Nana Possible's house and don't call anyone.
I'll come to you when it's safe." Kim says.
"What are you going to do?" Ann asks.
"I'm gonna teach Drew he shouldn't fuck with my family." She says grimly.
Ann stares at her daughter with wide eyes, surprised at her vulgar language.
"You don't have a lot of time until they get here so you'd better get running." Shego says and the Possible parents
nod before running upstairs to throw together an overnight bag. "David, I'd suggest you hit the road as well. The
shit's gonna hit the fan."
"I await news of your success." He says, standing. "Best fortunes on the field of battle."
"Thank you, David." Kim says.
David inclines his head to her and then walks out of the house without another word. Two minutes later, the Doctors
Possible race out the front door and out to their car and moments later drive off with a screech of tires.
"Are you ready for what's coming next?" Kim asks.
"Oh... hell yes..." Shego says, grinning evilly. "Oh! I'll be right back..." She says and rushes upstairs.
"Oh... what are you planning..?" Kim says while watching the teenage form sprint into her room. Five minutes later
she runs back downstairs wearing the same outfit she had been wearing before. "So what did you get?" Kim asks
and Shego grins before lifting her black tunic's sleeve an inch to reveal the shining white fabric of the battle suit.
"Oh... you're evil..."
"Yes... yes I am..." Shego says, grinning.
TEN MINUTES LATER...
Shego glances outside as she hears the whine of hovercraft engines.
"Let's rock and roll..." She says.
They walk outside and see Doctor Drakken, with over a dozen henchmen.
"I KNEW IT!" He exclaims. "You have betrayed me and went to the enemy!"
"You expect me not to with the way you treat me?" Kim asks, taking on the role of Shego.
"I'll get to you in a second, Kim Possible." He says icily and both young women jerk. "That's right. I know what
happened. I couldn't figure out what had happened to cause your personalities to shift in the way they had until I
realized that there had been a mechanical malfunction that caused you to switch bodies."
"I'll give you just one chance, Doctor Dee." Shego says. "Walk away and leave us alone and you'll retain use of
your legs."
"SEIZE THEM!" He shouts and the henchmen leap from the vehicles. Kim and Shego leap into action, fighting off
the hoard of red-suited men whose visors obscure their eyes but whose mouths show determined scowls as they
launch themselves into the fray.
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
"Sir! They're not here!" A henchman shouts as he runs from the front door, causing Kim to spin around from fear
that they had been flanked.
"Oh-ho! That's what happened! That henchman tipped you off... well that means you sent them away for their
protection... in that case I'm off to Gwendolyn Possible's to get the rest of your family..." He says evilly as his
hovercraft lifts off. Kim growls darkly and her hands glow menacingly.
"Nana... no..." Kim breathes.
"Jai-Alai!" Shego calls and Kim looks over to see her glove has transformed into a basket. Kim forms a massive
plasma ball in her hand and throws it at Shego who catches it, twirls, and flings it with all her might at Doctor
Drakken's retreating form. They watch as the ball of energy flies straight and true, striking the hovercraft and
detonating its fuel tanks. The resulting blast causes the henchmen to stop and glance over at the mid-air fireball. "If
you don't want to get fucked up like that then walk away."
The henchmen back off slowly then leap into their hovercraft and fly into the distance.
"Let's go see our handiwork." Shego says.
"No. Just call the paramedics. I don't want to see him again." Kim says softly. "Let's get to Nana Possible's house."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Shego says and walks into the house. Five minutes later she walks back out. "Ready to
go, Kimmie?" She says as she exits, only to stop as she sees Kim sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to
her chest and her arms wrapped around her knees as she sobs piteously.
"I killed him..." She manages to choke out.
"Kimmie... come on... let's get you to Nana Possible's..." Shego says and lifts the larger form easily. She walks over
to Kim's car and puts her in the passenger's side before buckling her in and walking to the driver's side door. She
starts the car and shifts into drive before pulling out of the driveway. She then looks at the broken woman and
reaches over, taking her hand and squeezing it gently.
TWO HOURS LATER...
Shego guides the small car along the dusty road that leads to Nana Possible's ranch while Kim looks out the window
with a broken expression.
"We had to do it, Kimmie." Shego says.
"Did we?" Kim asks softly.
"Yes, we did. We had to do it for your mom and dad... for the tweebs... for your Nana and Papa and Slim..." Shego
says. "He wouldn't have stopped..."
"How are you sure?" Kim asks.
"I know him and the look in his eyes meant nothing but death." Shego says.
"Oh." Kim says, feeling at the same time vindicated and yet not.
"Princess... I know it's hard but in time the pain will fade..." Shego says. "It always does..."
"Does it ever go away completely?" Kim asks softly.
"No." Shego says, her eyes carrying a haunted look. "Every kill hurts like the first time... you feel it less but it's still
there... and you'll always know what you've done..."
"Good... I never want to forget..." Kim says. "I'd feel guilty if I did..."
"Are you ready to go in and tell them what happened?" Shego asks. "Or do you want me to tell them?"
"I want to tell them... I fired the blast..." Kim says.
"But I redirected it." Shego says. "So I'm equally to blame."
"Then we'll tell them together?" Kim asks.
"Together..." Shego says, reaching over and taking Kim's hand in her own, giving her comfort from the simple
contact.
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
They pull onto the Possible Ranch and are met by the sight of a ranch hand walking out with a double-barrel shotgun
held threateningly. Shego opens her door first and steps out, looking at the hired hand.
"It's over. You can put the shotgun away." Shego says.
"Who's with you?" The young man asks.
"She's not a threat." Shego says. "Now could you put away that shotgun? I don't like staring down the wrong end of
a weapon."
A woman with silver hair and wearing a cowboy hat walks out dressed in blue jeans and a plaid shirt and looks at
Shego for a moment before looking at the man.
"Clem! Put down that scattergun!" The woman orders sharply. "Come here, Kimmie, give Nana a hug!"
Shego walks over to the woman and hugs her warmly, taking comfort from the tender gesture.
"Gwendolyn... there's something you should know about me..." Shego says.
"What's that, Kimmie?" Nana Possible asks.
"I'm not your Kimmie..." She says and motions to Kim who steps out. "This is your Kimmie... I'm Shego..."
"Well, that is a surprise, now isn't it?" She says dryly. "Well, since you got Kimmie's hug, then Kimmie's gonna get
your hug."
She walks over to Kim and hugs her warmly as well.
"Hey, Nana..." Kim says softly.
"You know, Kimmie, you picked a cutie to spend your life with..." Nana Possible says before leaning back and
winking.
"Nana..?" Kim asks, confused.
"Oh, you don't think I can't tell you love her and she loves you? Honey, I may be old but I'm not blind or stupid.
Besides, your parents filled me in while we were holed up. So I take it that you two have taken care of things?" She
asks and Kim nods sadly. "I'm so sorry that you had to do that, honey, I really am, and I want you to know that I'll
always love you, honey..."
"Thanks, Nana." Kim says.
"Now come inside, you two, I've got some fresh cookies baked and a pot of water ready for tea." She says, guiding
the girls into the house. As they enter, they see the Doctors Possible sitting in the dining room with their twin sons
drinking tea and eating cookies. A man walks into the room and looks at the two women for a long moment before
looking at Nana Possible.
"Something's not right with this picture." He says.
"That's right, Papa." Nana Possible says. "That's not our Kimmie over there... That's Shego. Kimmie's the one
sporting the green skin."
"I knew there was something was odd out about them." Papa Possible says. "So how did that come about?"
"It's the result of one of Drew's failed experiments." Shego says dryly.
"Ah. Wait... Kimmie participated in one of his experiments?" Papa asks.
"No... He tried to use it as a ray weapon to kill Kimmie actually." Shego says. "And it seems to me that he was
trying to kill me as well since he hit the both of us with the ray."
"And then he tried to kill you again it seems." Papa says and Kim sighs softly while nodding. "Honey, I can see that
it's weighing down on you, and I want to tell you a story. It was sixty-five years ago, in late nineteen forty-three,
and I was just eighteen years old..."
FLASHBACK...
Elias Possible stands upright and wipes his brow as he looks out toward the road where an olive drab car is driving
along with a white star painted on its door. He takes the hoe in his right hand and leans it against the railing of his
front porch before hooking his thumbs into his suspenders. He watches as the car then turns and drives straight for
his house. As the car pulls up, a middle-aged woman walks out onto the front porch.
"Elias? What's going on?" The woman says.
"I'm not sure, mom." Elias says as the car rolls to a stop. A soldier dressed in olive drab steps out of the car and
places his 'forage cap' atop his head before walking up to the house. "Can I help you, Sir?"
The man turns his attention to Elias.
"Are you Elias Wesley Possible?" He asks.
"I am." Elias says.
"Sir, you have been drafted to serve in your nations military." The officer says, holding out an envelope.
"What? This can't be!" Elias' mother declares. "He's my only son!"
"Ma'am, I'm sorry but your son has received his notice. He must report for duty or he will be placed under arrest for
desertion." He says. "All the information he needs is held in the letter he received."
The soldier turns and walks off without another word.
"It's all right, mom." Elias says. "It's my duty to fight for the country."
"But Elias!" His mother exclaims and he smiles at her. "If you go out there, I'm afraid you'll never come back!"
"Mom, I'm a Possible. Anything's possible for a Possible." Elias says.
FIVE MONTHS LATER...
Corporal Elias Possible stands with dozens of other soldiers in a Higgins landing craft as it pitches and rolls across
the waves of the English Channel. To his left he can hear a soldier praying silently while on his right a man vomiting
for the third time that voyage. Elias squares his shoulders and takes a deep breath.
"Mom, I'm gonna be all right." He says to himself. Moments later, he feels a lurch and hears a klaxon blare before
the front gate drops and he is faced with the hell that is the Omaha beachhead at Normandy, France. The day is June
the sixth: D-Day.
END FLASHBACK...
"I fought from the shores of Normandy all the way to the Elbe River. I spent almost three years fighting my way
across Europe. I can't count the number of men I killed while I was there or so many of their faces, but I also can't
forget the faces of my buddies who were in the foxhole next to me who stayed close to me because I was seen as a
good-luck charm. Honey, we've all been forced to make hard decisions in our lives. We just have to realize that
sometimes we're fighting for more than just ourselves and that we've got to sacrifice some of ourselves for those
around us." Papa Possible says.
"You're right... Thanks, Papa." Kim says softly, embracing the man once more.
"Thank you, Elias." Shego says, also having been touched by the story.
"Ah... if you're gonna be my Kimmie's lover, then you're gonna have to call me 'Papa' as well." Elias 'Papa'
Possible says.
"And you'd better not call me 'Gwendolyn' anymore." Nana Possible says. "If you're gonna be in the family, you'd
better get used to calling me 'Nana.'"
"All right, Nana... Papa..." Shego says, and embraces the old man as well.
"Well cotton pick Cousin Kim... I never thought I'd see you and Shego side-by-side like this." Jocelyn 'Joss'
Possible, Kim's cousin, says as she walks into the room. "What's going on?"
"We're getting out of the business." Shego says. "Both of us..."
"I'm giving up my life of heroism," Kim says. "And she's giving up her life of crime."
"Woah... wait a second... I think you have that backwards..." Joss says.
"Nope," Shego says. "I'm Shego and that's Kim."
"But how?" Joss asks.
"Drakken hit us with a ray." Kim says. "It transferred us into each other's bodies."
"How do you undo it?" Joss asks.
"We don't know." Kim says.
"Can't you just ask Drakken?"
"He's dead." Shego says.
"How?" Joss asks, garnering a wince from the girls.
"Jocelyn, honey, can you help me in the kitchen?" Nana Possible says.
"Sure..." Joss says, and follows the matriarch into the kitchen. Two minutes later she walks back out with a shocked
expression on her face. She looks at the two young women for a long moment before sighing heavily. "Sorry I
asked..."
"It's all right..." Kim says. "You didn't know."
"So... what are you going to do now?" Joss asks.
"Well... I'm not sure... but I know I won't do anything without my Kimmie by my side..." Shego says.
"Wait a sec... your Kimmie?" Joss asks, confused.
"Yes, my Kimmie." Shego says, feeling suddenly possessive.
"Shego, I don't think she means it the way you think." Kim says.
"Then what do you mean, Jocelyn?" Shego asks, using the young girl's full name to show her displeasure.
"You said 'my Kimmie' like she's yours..." Joss says. "Uh... it's like... Oh! It's like when Bobby and Sally were
dating and... Oh... oh my..."
"Yeah, now I see what happened." Shego says. "Joss didn't realize that we're involved."
Jocelyn Possible stares at her cousin with a horrified expression.
"You're... you're gay?" Joss asks softly.
"I'm a lesbian, yes." Kim says.
"Since when?" Joss asks.
"It's been a progressive thing with us... but things accelerated when we were forced into one-another's bodies. I...
well... when we first switched bodies... I kinda molested my own body, both to see how it felt from someone else's
perspective and also to feel Kimmie's body... then we were forced to live as each other... and I know that I was
turned on to no end by the fact that I could look in the mirror and see her staring at my body as I..." Shego trails
off and looks at Nana Possible and the others who are staring at her. They watch as a bright blush then makes itself
apparent on her peach colored cheeks.
"If anyone doesn't want to hear this story can join me in the shop. I've got a bottle of shine that's begging to be
tapped." Elias 'Papa' Possible says, stands, and walks out of the room. "And Slim, get your sorry hide out there
too!"
Slim Possible stands and walks out with a sheepish expression, followed close behind by Nana Possible and then
James and Ann Possible, leaving just Jim, Tim, Kim, Shego, and Joss in the room.
"Well... like I was saying..." Shego says, still embarrassed. "It was really a turn on to... touch myself in the mirror
and to watch myself... it was like watching Kimmie play with herself and also it was like she was watching me as
well..."
"I know... I was the same way..." Kim says. "Your body was amazing to look at and it was always ready to go..."
"I know... your body is always switched on..." Shego says, and then blushes as they look at her. "Well, it's the
truth..."
"I never had that problem..." Kim says.
"I guess it's just I'm a bit more... partial... to solo play." Shego says. "That aside... things accelerated when we were
in each other's bodies and then we ended up being involved with one another... and it was good... but then it all took
a turn for the worst..."
"Do you want me to get Nana, Papa, Slim, mom, and dad or are you gonna share any other naughty tidbits about
your relationship?" Jim asks.
"That's it for the naughtiness." Shego says.
"All right... We'll be back..." Tim says and the twins walk out of the house. Two minutes later they walk back with
the five adults and one rather large bottle of white lightning.
"So... where are we now?" Ann asks.
"We've covered the naughty parts so we can get to the rest." Shego says. "Kimmie and I were going crazy because
we couldn't handle living in each other's lives and sought out help... I lost control at school, started melting down
and it was just too much so I took John's advice and went to the school psychologist, David Perkins. Anyway, he
suggested I talk to Joan Wallisford—Kimmie's cheerleading coach—and I decided to do just that. I went to
cheerleading practice and set up a meet... but Kimmie showed up before we could talk and things got... hairy... at
school."
"Do I even want to know why you hesitated when you said 'hairy'?" Ann asks.
"Not really, no." Kim says, looking off to the side with a blush on her cheeks.
"So anyway, Kimmie told me that she was heading to talk to David and decided to pop in and talk to me as well and
I told her to just go. Joan then laid down the law and ordered the others on the squad to forget what they had seen
before taking me into the back room and questioning me about what I was thinking. That's when she found out that I
wasn't Kimmie." Shego says. "I begged her to help me and she agreed..."
"So where were you, Kimmie?" Ann asks.
"After I ducked out of the locker room, I slunk through the halls, actually leaping up and grabbing hold of the
ceiling while a couple girls walked underneath me talking about what Shego had done while she was in my body. I
dropped and was blindsided by Principal Starr who already knew what was going on with the two of us. He told me
he knew and suggested that I go talk to David up in his smoking office which I did. He and I talked, and he
suggested that I go and talk to Shego on a one-on-one basis somewhere we could have privacy." Kim says.
"Your counselor has a smoking office?" Ann asks, shocked.
"Yes. He can't smoke in his school office so they built him a smoking office on the roof." Kim says.
"Oh." Ann says.
"Anyway, it was about ninety minutes later that we got back in touch with one another..." Kim says.
"That's when Mrs. Jackson caught you sneaking out of the house?" Ann asks.
"I guess..." Kim says.
"It is." Shego says. "That's the night that mom and dad were on edge and I bailed when Wade called me for a
mission."
"Right," Ann says. "Kimmie spent six hours at the house before sneaking out just fifteen minutes before we got
back. Do we want to know what you two were doing all that time?"
"Well, for the first couple hours we were sitting around telling one another about ourselves, sharing our hopes, our
dreams, and our fears. We were sharing what it meant to be us... what makes us special and unique." Kim says.
"Then things got a bit more... sensitive... for the next few hours..."
"Is there anything in there that I would want to hear?" Ann asks.
"We spent the last forty-five minutes cuddling." Shego says. "Other than that, no, you wouldn't."
"Thank you for not sharing any more than you had to." Ann says. "And I'm glad to hear that you two spent the time
to cuddle after the fact and didn't just go your separate ways."
"So anyway, after Wade called me out on a mission to stop Dementor, I jumped at it as an out. I was out all night
and got back in at about three in the morning." Shego says.
"That's why you looked so exhausted when your father and I told you we wanted to talk to you..." Ann says.
"It was that and the fact that I was an emotional wreck." Shego says. "Especially after you two dropped the bomb on
me..."
"Honey, we were worried about you... you were acting strange..." Ann says.
"I know. You're not the only one of that opinion." Shego says. "When I got to school, I was on edge in ways I'm
hard pressed to put into words. I spaced in Barkin's class, then when he asked me a question that I didn't know the
answer to... I snapped at him. That got me sent to the office again. From there, I went up to David's office and told
him that I was having a meltdown and explained what I was going through. I said 'I wish I knew what Kimmie
would do' and I swear—as God is my witness—my phone rang just then."
"That's when I finally bit the bullet and called Shego." Kim says. "I had been in the tub stressing about not calling
and checking in with her but I didn't want to bug her while she was in class. Finally it was too much and I called her
up using a phone I got from one of the henchmen I had befriended."
"You befriended a henchman?" Ann asks, surprised.
"Two, really—Levi Katz and James McCormick—but one who stands out in particular: Levi." Kim says. "He's a
good Jewish boy whose Eema raised him right and who has some very strong family connections."
"Ok..." Ann says. "I guess dealing with Ron's family has had unexpected benefits for you."
"Yeah, and Levi is the one who brought me the cell phone, then set it up to be able to call the kimmunicator, and
finally who tipped us off that Drakken was coming." Kim says. "Anyway, I called Shego and she dished that she
was freaking out so we had a three-way conference session with David where we worked out everything."
"After the call, I went down and talked to John—Principal Starr—and Steven and we got everything settled. I
apologized to Steven for being such a harpy to him, and he apologized for being such an asshole—his exact words—
and we've come to a peaceful resolution." Shego says. "By the way, Kimmie, you now have full rank in the SSG
with a badge and everything, and I've already exercised your authority dealing with Bonnie."
"What did you do to her?" Kim asks.
"Just had a couple guards haul her into the office and tell John that she was causing me trouble." Shego says. "So I
was nice. After that, I called you and then went home."
"That's when you came in and David acted as a moderator." Ann says and Shego nods. "And then you got the call
from Levi about the impending attack..."
"So I told you to leave... yes..." Kim says softly. "This is where it gets very painful for the both of us."
Shego looks over at Kim and then reaches over and squeezes her hand in a reassuring gesture.
"Drew attacked us from the front, keeping us in a battle while he had some henchmen go around behind the house to
find anyone inside to use as a tool for leverage... and when he found you were gone, he smiled this evil smile... it
was unlike anything I've ever seen on his face before..." Kim says.
"Yeah... it even freaked me out..." Shego adds.
"He said that since he knew you weren't at the house... that he knew you'd be here... so he took off in his
hovercraft..." Kim says.
"I was wearing the super suit..." Shego says.
"And I formed a ball of plasma..." Kim adds.
"She tossed it to me..." Shego says.
"She caught it and spun..." Kim says.
"And then let it fly..." Shego says softly.
"It flew straight and true..." Kim says softly.
"You hit Drew with it?" Ann asks.
"It hit the fuel tanks..." Shego says.
"It just exploded in mid-air..." Kim adds.
"And did you see if he was killed in the event?" Nana Possible asks.
They look at her silently.
"It is a very important thing to know." Nana Possible says. "Did you see the blast kill him?"
They shake their heads.
"Did you check his body?" Nana asks. "Did you see if he were really dead?"
They shake their heads once more.
"That's a very dangerous thing to do, girls." Nana says. "Papa, get your rifle. Slim, grab your scattergun. We're
going hunting."
"Mom... you're kidding... right?" James says with a shocked expression on his face. "You're not gonna go and hunt
him down like that... right?"
"Papa," Nana says.
"Right, Nana." The elderly man says and walks out of the room.
"And grab my belt!" She calls and they hear him acknowledge her request. "Go get your scattergun, Slim."
"Yeah Nana," Slim says and walks out of the room.
"I'll not stand by knowing that he might be still alive." Nana Possible says. "I'm gonna run down that son-of-a-gun
and teach him why he shouldn't mess with my family."
They look over as Slim Possible walks back into the room carrying a pump action shotgun and wearing a bandolier
of shotgun shells slung from shoulder to hip. Moments later, Papa Possible walks out carrying an M1 Garand rifle in
his arms and wearing an olive drab uniform.
"I will never know how you manage to get out of your civvies and into your uniform so fast, Elias." Nana Possible
says. Shego opens her mouth to speak but Slim holds up his hand, forestalling her. "You look just stunning..."
They watch as the octogenarian matriarch walks over to her husband, puts her hands on his uniformed chest, and
kisses him with a love that transcends the ages. As they pull apart, she looks over and her cheeks color as she sees
she has an audience.
"Yes... well... since that's out of the way... Are you ready, Papa?" She asks.
"Yes ma'am." He says and she chuckles softly.
"Cool it there, soldier boy. You go calling me 'ma'am' and you're gonna make me feel old." She says, grinning at
him while Slim rolls his eyes.
"Nana..." Slim says, holding out a gun belt with a holstered forty-four revolver and a score of bullets. She looks over
and takes the belt before putting it on and adjusting it slightly.
"Thank you, Slim." She says. "Now let's go to war. Kim, you said the last time you saw Drew, he was heading this
way?"
"Yes." Kim says, nodding.
"Then we're gonna head that way." Nana says. "Slim, I want you to stay behind and protect the homestead. Papa
and I will be fine."
"But Nana..." Slim says.
"Do what I say." She says firmly, then turns and walks out the door.
"Wow... Nana's almost as scary as my mother..." Shego says.
"Just you wait." Slim says. "Once they're done with Drew, she's gonna come back for you."
Shego cranes her eyebrow.
"Care to explain?" She says.
"She's said how she's proud of Kim for finding someone to be with and has accepted you as one of us... next she's
gonna grill you for some hours until she's got you fixed in mind..." Slim says.
"Uh... what?" Shego says; feeling completely lost.
"Nana's gonna sit you down and grill you about your life." Joss says. "By the time she's done, she's gonna know
everything there is to know about you and she'll be able to predict what you're gonna do before you do it."
"She's gonna have a fun time with that... the women in my family are all notoriously unpredictable..." Shego says.
"Myself included..."
"And Nana's one who can pin virtually anyone..." Kim says. "So this is gonna be quite a show..."
"You realize she's not gonna let you watch." Joss says.
"Unfortunately not..." Kim says, sighing. "But that doesn't mean I won't find out what happened."
"And how do you expect to do that?" Joss asks and Kim produces a small device which she hands to Shego.
"All it takes is a simple voice recorder." Kim says and then pushes a button on it before stepping up to Shego and
hugging her. When she steps back, they see that she no longer has the voice recorder in hand and is smiling broadly.
"And where'd you hide it?" Joss asks, amazed by Kim's sleight of hand.
"Guess." Kim says, grinning.
"Is it in the back of her shirt?" Joss asks and Kim shakes her head. "Is it in her belt?"
"Nope," Kim says, grinning.
"Ok, you're gonna have to fill me in how you did that later." Joss says.
"Maybe..." Kim says. "It all depends on how much trouble you cause the tweebs while we're here."
"So if I cause them a lot of trouble?" Joss asks.
"Then you'd better be ready to learn." Kim says, grinning. This smile is matched by one that appears on Joss' face.
"Oh..." Jim says.
"Snap..." Tim says.
"New rule," Shego says. "You're verboten from saying that."
"Then what should we say?"
"Oh hell, oh shit, oh damn, oh fuck, oh no, oh boy... I don't care... I just hate 'oh snap' because Drakken used to say
it." Shego says.
ONE HOUR LATER...
"So when do you suppose Nana will be back?" Shego asks as she sits with Kim, idly filing her nails.
The front door opens and they look over to see the couple walk in the door.
"Speak of Nana and she will appear." Shego says. "How was hunting?"
"I haven't lost my touch." Papa says. "I'm ranked as Expert with a rifle for a reason."
"One shot, one kill." Nana says.
"I was hell for the snipers." Papa says. "They wanted me so bad but I wouldn't have any of it. It was too much
trouble, mucking around in the grass like a snake. And the enemy snipers hated me even more... but that's a story for
another day. Today I've taken care of your little problem. He shouldn't be causing any more trouble for you."
"But aren't you afraid that the government won't come after you?" Shego asks. "After all... you killed a man in cold
blood..."
"I'd like to see them try and prove it was my rifle." He says, opening the bolt and ejecting a cartridge which he
deftly catches in mid-flight. He holds it up and they look at it closely. "Paper on the bullet eliminates lands and
grooves. It's a clean kill."
"But we still don't know how to undo what Drakken did to us..." Kim says.
"Are we gonna be stuck in one another's bodies forever?" Shego asks.
"I doubt it." A voice says from the doorway. They turn and face the intruder, bringing their weapons to bear on the
suave older man who is dressed in a red smoking jacket and holding a cane in his left hand. "Forgive my intrusion,
Miss Possible, but I felt that I should approach you as things have become rather... odd... in the villainy world."
