Like I said once I'll say it again I do not own Kim Possible
Now here is the story
-------------------------
Chapter 3
Mrs. Possible pulled up in front of Bueno Nacho and got out of the car to help her daughter but Kim had gotten out already, "How are those glasses Kimmie?" she asked.
Kim had clipped on the sunglass attachment when they left the Optometrist, "Pretty good, the sunglasses are pretty good but the sun is still hurting my eyes a bit." Kim adjusted her had to block as much sun as possible.
"Well then let's go have lunch." She offered her hand but Kim kindly refused and motioned for her mother to go first and then she followed behind.
When they walked in there was a small line at the counter but that was to be expected since it was lunch time, "Why don't you get us a seat I'll order." Km nodded and headed to her usual booth that she always shared with Ron and her friends. She sat down and unclipped the sunglasses and put them in her shirt pocket. She then tested her vision a bit by looking around and noticing that it was hard to read the menus above the counters. The letters seemed a bit blurry even though close up the blurriness is not noticeable but she chocked it up to the fact that she was losing her vision. She took off her glasses and tired but it was worse so she put them back on. Just then…
"Well hello there K what's with the glasses finally started to turn into one of the geeks you like so much?" the voice came from behind her but she knew right away who it was and she sighed. "Bonnie do you mind I kind of have other things on my mind right now."
"Ahh what's the matter K, life with the four eyes not fun?" she said with an evil grin.
"Ehem." Came a voice from behind them, "Well hello there Bonnie come to join us for lunch?" they both turned to see Mrs. Possible smiling evilly.
"O-oh no Dr. Possible just visiting, well see on Monday Kim bye now." She waved and made a hasty retreat.
Mrs. Possible just smiled shaking her head, "Getting teased already?"
Kim just sighed, "Na it's just Bonnie being her all Bonnie self." Answering with a frown while putting her arm on the table and leaning on it.
"Well that doesn't matter now let's eat shall we?" Mrs. Possible asked with a coy grin, "Yes let's." Kim returned the smile and took one of the burritos and took a bite.
Just then a voice from behind her said, "Kim is that you?" Kim knew who it was right away and she turned and faced the person with a smile, "Yes Ron it's me."
When she first noticed them she saw Mrs. Possible first and could only see the back of Kim's head but when she turned around Ron was a bit surprised to see her wearing glasses.
"Hey kp what's with the glasses?" Ron questioned.
"Oh…ya...well um ya can I talk to you…outside…in private?" she asked while looking towards her mother getting a nod.
"Um…sure kp lead the way." Ron scratched his head as he followed her outside wondering what was going on. "So what's the sitch?" Ron asked once they were outside.
She took a deep breath and then said, "Ron this is a very delicate situation and I'm going to ask you not to go crazy on what I'm about to tell you." She fiddled with her fingers while saying this not looking him in the eye.
"Sure Kim you know I'm always behind you one-hundred percent so you can spill already." Ron replied a bit antsy and lifting her chin up to make eye contact.
She took another deep breath before saying, "I-I'm going blind Ron."
Ron stared at her blankly for a few seconds before he said, "What? What did you just say?"
Kim looked a bit irritated at having to say it again, "I said I'm…"
Ron interrupted her saying, "I know what you said I just meant like what, seriously you know."
"Oh-oh I got you…" Kim first answered in understanding then asked an interesting question, "…hey, you didn't go all crazy what's up?"
"Huh?" Ron asked in confusion before understanding, "Oh because you told me not to go crazy remember Kim?"
Kim stared at him blankly but before she could say anything. "Now if you'll excuse me for a second…" he walked into a telephone booth which surprising to both of them that they never noticed it before. He closed the door and Kim could hear muffled yelling which was pretty much exactly what she said when she found out and what Wade said when she told him. He came out a minute later with a calm face.
"Okay now I'm ready for the explanation." He said while walking up to her.
"Alright but can we do this while we eat I'm starving." Kim asked as her stomach rumbled getting a laugh from Ron. "Oh sure besides I'm hungry too." They walked back in and Kim went back to her seat. Ron came a few minutes later with his food and Kim also called Wade and with the help of Mrs. Possible they explained the situation.
-----------------------
"So a years all you got?" Wade asked concern for his friend.
"Well that's what Dr. Crane said." Kim answered while eating some nachos.
"But what are you going to do about school and cheerleading and saving the world? What are we going to do about that?" Ron asked not liking were things were going.
"Hmm well if you have at least a year then we can handle school because a year from now you will graduate the other two may show to be the problem areas if I must say." Mrs. Possible replied.
"Oh well then that's good…I think and I guess you can keep doing cheerleading till it's too hard to see anymore but the I don't think the villains will take pity and if you ask me if they find out then they all may attack at once." Ron said while his hand on his chin thinking carefully.
"He dose have a point Kim, I mean with the villains once they realize what's happened the world could be in some major trouble." Wade replied while typing on his keyboard.
"Well we could do the same thing with the cheerleading, keep going till I can't go no more I guess…" Kim thought about it but was interrupted by her mother.
"Kimmie I don't think it would be safe if you went on missions, even now I don't think you would be able to do what you usually do I mean the fighting and all the flipping you would knock your glasses off and then you wouldn't be able to see very much at all." Mrs. Possible said sternly.
"Well actually Mrs. Possible I think the Optometrist has those sport goggles which wouldn't fall off as easily and they're more durable but rather then getting regular goggles I think I can make a pair which would be better and have computer optics to help with all the sight stuff that Kim will be losing in the next year or so." Wade suggested.
"You could do that Wade?" Kim asked hopefully.
"Sure I could and I can trick them out with a bunch of stuff like inferred, night vision, even a mini-computer-kimmunicator and best of all you don't have to pay me a cent." Wade said with a big grin on his face.
"Wade you continue to rock my world please and thank you soooo much!" Kim said exasperatedly.
"No big, I'll get to work on them asap and hopefully they will be done by the end of the week." Wade typed more on his keyboard.
"Well then now that's settled we're you two headed." Ron questioned looking towards first Kim then Mrs. Possible.
"Oh yes now we have to go to CIB to talk to them and ask what we could do for Kimmie's traveling and school work." Mrs. Possible answered looking at the paper the doctor have given them before they left.
"CIB? What's that?" Ron asked confusion on his face.
"Oh it stand for Colorado Institute for the Blind, they have a bunch of stuff and programs to help people with visual problems." Kim answered.
"Coolio..um you mind if I tag along I sort of don't have anything else planned for today?" Ron asked doing his impression of the Puppy Dog Pout though it didn't work exactly but Mrs. Possible nodded to him and he smiled saying, "Booyah alright shall we be on our way?" they both nodded and they headed towards the car and off to the CIB.
---------------
When they got there they thought it was funny that a building as interesting as CIB had not been noticed by them. They walked into a lobby which contained a number of chairs and a reception desk. Mrs. Possible looked at the paper then walked up to the receptionist while she motioned for the two teens to sit down.
"Excuse me." Andrea asked with a kind smile.
The women looked up and smiled back, "Yes how may I help you?"
"Um I was told by my doctor to come here and see a…" she looked back at the paper, "Mr. Mike Santez…"
She types on the computer for a second saying, "Name?"
"Possible." This made the lady flinch for a second and look at her then behind were she saw two teens. "Yes he's expecting you go right up someone will meet you at the top." She pushed a button and the elevator opened, "Just go to the third floor." Mrs. Possible nodded and motioned for the two to follow her.
They walked into the elevator and pushed three and when they got there a man was waiting for them. "Hello are you Mrs. Possible?" Mrs. Possible nodded, "Yes I'm Andrea and this is Kim and Ron, are you by any chance Mike Santez?" she asked.
"Yup please follow me." He motioned for them to follow and they got to an office. They went in and there was a desk with two chairs in front of it. "I'll get another chair." He suggested but before he left the room, "Oh no that's ok I'll just stand." Ron replied with a smile. "You sure I can get if you like?" Mike asked, "No seriously it's fine." He nodded and walked around behind the desk.
"So Thee Kim Possible has come to our door, interesting." Mike said while fiddling with his thumbs.
"Dose everyone have to say that today?" Kim grumbled.
Mike chuckled, "Sorry just had to say it." He then cleared his voice, "Dr. Crane called me shortly after you left his office and he told me about your predicament. Mrs. Possible do you know what we do here at CIB?" Mike asked.
"Well I'm guessing helping people with visual disabilities?" Kim answered thoughtfully.
Mike smiled, "That's mostly correct we do help people with visual disabilities but we do it in many different ways." He handed them some papers that contained some of the thing they do. "We not only help students with getting supplies they need to help them read, write or do anything in general but we also help with the physical aspect as well. You see most schools around America and even our neighbors in Canada will tell kids with not only visual disabilities but also just other disabilities that they can't do this and they can't do that even though the kids know their own limits. So in some experiences or most people are let into gym class but are excluded from the actual activates, that Mrs. Possible is what we and all other organizations like this are here for. To fight for the rights of students and other people with disabilities." Mike finished sternly. "And it's not just schools some camps will not let people in because of their disabilities but we are fighting so these people can have the same experiences as other."
Mrs. Possible asked, "That's amazing but how do you do that? There are probably a lot of people on the continent that are not being reached how do you get to them?"
"We do what we can to get to as many people as possible, that is all we can hope for I'm afraid." Mike finished with a sad expression. "You're right though there are a lot of people that aren't being reached but there are also people in general that need to be told like teachers, the government even everyday people, thing is there are people out there helping already but we need something more a bigger representative, but we there is no one we know who can do that." He rubbed his chin at first then finished with a sad expression.
"Actually I think I have an idea." Kim said with a grin getting looks from everyone, "I can be your representative." Kim said coyly.
"Hey ya! Think about it Kim is known around the world, she was favors from at least one person per continent, she loves to help people and she's perfect for the job!" Ron said eagerly and excitedly.
"I don't know, I mean we can't pay you to do it and we can't just let you do if for free this is a big responsibility." Mike said thining hard.
"Well actually you don't have to pay me and I would do if for free but I have a better idea…" Kim said with a smile, "We can trade, I can represent you around the world and you guys can help me adjust to my new life. I mean after all if "Thee Kim Possible," she said with air quotes, "Is going to lose her vision it may as well be doing what I do best and that's helping people. So what do you say Mike?" Kim said putting her hand out with a smile.
Mike thought about it hard, then he broke into a smile and took her hand, "Deal and we can start by getting you everything your going to need in your "New life," he copied the air quotes, "Mrs. Possible this could possibly be the most brilliant idea I have ever heard."
"Please call me Kim and it's what I do." She shock his hand with a big smile.
----------------------------\
Okay and there you go the third chapter and I know this is not as long as my other chapters but I couldn't think of anything else and besides this idea just came out of the blue. Just so you know I have no idea if there is a CIB and if there is I hope they don't sew me. In Canada it's CNIB Canadian National Institute for the Blind. This chapter took a bit longer because even though I said this would go of my experiences well that never happened to me I was winging that one. But the idea I had about Kim representing and helping people is sort of what I learned in Ottawa this year. How to be a youth ambassador and now I can put what I learned into this fic.
I also want to say that I am going to do this during a school year and if you understand it then that would mean that it is May or June and the school year will end and then Kim will have to deal with the vision problem until she graduates.
I hope everyone liked this chapter and will continue to read. Please review and hope you enjoyed!
