Later, Motor Ed had laid out what he considered to be the perfect plot for revenge.

The others helped of course, and it was decided that they would get Kim through an old friend of hers. One that also happened to be someone Ember personally despised.

The blonde pop star known as Britina sat in her dressing room powdering her nose. She had a show in a few hours and she wanted to look presentable. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Confused, the pretty blonde got up and opened it; there was a portly teen dressed in a delivery person uniform.

"Package for a Miss Britina" CF said.

"I don't remember ordering a package" Britina said.

"It's um, your new conditioner" he explained.

"Oh good, my old one was making my hair all frizzy" she said.

As she went to sign for the package, CF produced a spray vial and released some of the gaseous substance in her face. She fell unconscious soon afterwards.

"Have a pleasant sleep" he said "it's the only thing about today that you'll find pleasant."

Putting aside every nerdy urge he had to do things with the pop star's body, he produced a walkie-talkie from his pocket.

"Everything worked like a charm" he said "the diva is in slumber land."

"Good work bro" Ed said from the other end, then turned his attention to his other conspirators. "Okay, you know what to do Ember."

"It'll be a pleasure" she replied "you get your revenge and I knock that no talent hack off the music charts. This is turning out to be a pretty good day after all."


Back in Middleton, Kim & Ron were enjoying the film Tales of Love. Or at least, Kim was enjoying it.

"Isn't this a great movie Ron?" she asked, but received no response.

"Ron? Ron?"

She turned to his seat and found him sleeping, snoring loudly, but not loud enough to annoy people. She angrily nudged him awake.

"Uhh, I didn't cheat on the test Mr. Barkin, I don't know how the answer key ended up in my pocket" he said groggily.

"Ron, wake up, you're missing the movie" Kim said in a loud whisper.

"Sorry KP, but I told you romance isn't my thing" Ron explained "couldn't they have put one explosion or car chase in this thing, I mean come on!"

Kim sighed, but before she could say anything, she was roused from her thoughts by the familiar beep of the Kimmunicator.

"Hey, you're supposed to turn off your phones during the movie" someone said.

"And you're not supposed to talk during a movie" another said to the previous person.

While they argued, Kim & Ron slipped out of the theater and into the lobby.

"What's the sitch Wade?"

"It involves your old friend Britina" Wade began.

"What happened, did someone steal one of her Grammy awards?" Kim asked.

"Worse" Wade replied "she's been kidnapped."

Kim's jaw fell farther than she thought possible.


Moments later, she and Ron were in their high-tech car, driving to the source of Britina's abduction.

"It's weird" Wade said "there were no signs of a struggle, and no one reported seeing anything weird. Last they recall, she was in her dressing room and when they went to call on her, she had disappeared."

"Maybe she just went out for burgers" Ron suggested.

"Without telling somebody? I doubt it" Kim replied "she was definitely kidnapped. But who would do this, and why?"

"Come on Kim, she's a big name music star" Ron said "and she has like a gazillion dollars. Ya gotta figure somebody nabbed her for some quick ransom."

"I thought about that, but there wasn't a ransom note left" Wade said "and no demands have been made since she was kidnapped."

"Maybe the kidnappers are just busy" Ron suggested "they probably have shopping and laundry like we do. That's why they need the money so badly."

"Does Britina have any enemies? Well, besides the obvious ones" Kim asked.

"You think maybe a rival did this to help their own career?" Wade asked.

"They do say the music business can be cutthroat" Kim replied.

"Who says that? I've never heard that" Ron commented.

Kim ignored him; "keep us posted if you find anything out Wade" she said and turned off the Kimmunicator.

"Something about this doesn't smell right" Kim said, "if Britina was kidnapped for ransom, why leave no demands? And why do it right now, instead of at an earlier time?"

"Did you not hear my laundry theory?" Ron asked.

"I can't wait till we get there ourselves, then maybe we can shed some light on this situation" Kim replied.

A half hour later, Kim & Ron were investigating the dressing room where the pop star had last been seen.

"Wade was right, no fingerprints or anything" Kim said "but how did the kidnapper get her out of here?"

Kim didn't have time to think of an answer, as a black clad Goth-like girl approached her.

"You must be Kim Possible" she said "the name's Ember McLane. Remember it, 'cause I'm going to be a famous recording star very soon."

"Nice to meet you" Kim said, although her tone indicated otherwise "are you a friend of Britina's?"

"No, and I'm sorry she got kidnapped, even though it did give me the chance to replace her" Ember said "I heard the two of you were very close."

"I wouldn't say we were that close" Kim replied "but I did view her as a friend. A rich, talented friend who doesn't call much."

"Hey there, name's Ron Stoppable" Ron said, extending his hand towards Ember "interesting wardrobe you have there."

"Thanks, black's my color" Ember replied.

"Never really understood the Goths" Ron said "what are they always sad about? If they ever went to Bueno Nacho, they wouldn't be depressed, that's for sure."

"Uh-huh" Rufus added, popping out of his pocket.

"What is that ugly little thing?" Ember asked upon seeing him.

"That's my naked mole rat Rufus, and I'd appreciate it if you'd treat him with some respect" Ron said, cradling Rufus like a child "that's okay Rufus, the scary lady didn't mean to call you ugly."

"Well, as fun as this has been, I've got to practice for my concert" Ember said, "nice meeting you Kim, hope to see you again."

"Oh, you can bet on that" Kim replied as Ember left.

"The nerve of that lady, calling Rufus ugly!" Ron said, "if she thinks I'm buying one of her CD's, she's dead wrong."

Kim ignored him and called Wade. "Wade, I need to find out everything you can on an Ember McLane."

"I've got what you asked for" Wade replied after a few seconds "oddly, there's not much available on her. She's supposed to be a hot new rocker, but she only has one album and has only performed one concert, in a place called Amity Park."

"Interesting."

"Oh, it gets better" Wade said "Ember was never in line to replace Britina, she just showed up after she disappeared and somehow was given her spot."

"Very interesting" Kim said "a major pop star disappears and suddenly a wannabe is asked to replace her."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Wade asked.

"That Ember's somehow tied into Britina's disappearance? Oh yeah" Kim replied "and I think it's time we had a little talk with her."

"Not until she apologizes to Rufus for what she said" Ron said, "poor little guy's feelings were hurt, huh buddy?"

"Insulted" Rufus replied.

"Come on you two" Kim said, grabbing Ron by the arm and dragging him off.


Next time, Kim has a Christine-like encounter with her own car. Can she survive this bout of road rage?
