Chapter 5
The next morning Kim woke up rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She got out of bed and with her hands in front of her while she made her way to her bathroom. A few minutes later Kim came down stairs to the kitchen to find her mother already making breakfast.
"Morning mom." Kim smiled gleefully as she sat down.
"Morning Kimmie." Mrs. Possible greeted as she brought a plate of eggs and bacon placing it in front of her on the table. "So what are you planning on doing this morning?" she asked sitting across from her with her own plate of food and a cup of coffee.
"Well Ron's coming over so we can work on the cane thing for awhile, then we're going to Bueno Nacho for lunch, then after I plan on going to the mall and finding Monique and filling her in and then it's off to the try out this Goalball thing." Kim answered taking a bite from her eggs.
"You sure you want to tell her so soon?" Mrs. Possible looked skeptical.
"Ya I want her to know before school so that I'll at least have some help incase Ron's not around." Kim then thought, "So when's dad and the tweebs coming home and what do you plan on telling them?" she asked.
"Not sure yet, though I'll either figure something out by then or we can always tell them everything right away." Mrs. Possible thought for a minute then finished with a sly smile.
Just then a knock came at the door. "Oh I'll get that, it's probably Ronald." Mrs. Possible stood and went to open the door. She opened the door to indeed find Ron standing there with Rufus on his shoulder.
"Good morning Mrs. Dr P." he greeted with his goofy smile.
"Good morning Ron, come on in Kim's waiting for you." She ushered him in and shut the door behind him.
They walked into the kitchen where Kim was finishing her breakfast, "Morning KP, how we feeling today?" he asked as he came and sat beside her.
"Okay I guess, ready to go?" she answered solemnly then changing expressions to questioning.
"I'm ready when you are KP." Ron replied with a smile.
"Okay just let me get my things." She stood and headed back to her room.
"Hungry Ron?" Mrs. Possible offered.
"No thank you Mrs. Dr. P but…" just then Rufus jumped onto the table and went into a doggy beg position with his tongue out and everything. "Heh, heh, me, me!"
Mrs. Possible laughed, "Alright Rufus, one helping coming right up." She patted his head and went over to the stove.
Ron just shook his head.
------------
After Rufus was finished and Kim came down, cane in hand and glasses on her face they headed out for a walk around the neighborhood. While they were walking Kim noticed that some people they pasted were giving her strange looks like she was missing a leg or something.
She felt acquired and turned to Ron asking, "Why is everyone looking at me funny?"
"Maybe it's because people don't usually see you using a cane…or it could be they don't know what you're doing with it?" Ron blurted out, but then stopped and thought a little harder. "Or maybe they know what that cane is for, and them seeing you using one seems strange? Oh and the fact that your wearing glasses may also play into it."
Kim blinked once, twice, staring at him with a stunned expression. "Wow Ron, that was pretty deep don't you think?"
"Not really, why do you think so?" Ron looked back with a wondering expression.
Kim just shrugged her shoulders, "Well it seems pretty deep." She looked at her watch, having to look closer and take a few more seconds before she figured out that it was 11:45am. "Wanna go for lunch now?" she asked looking up from her watch.
"Ya sure I'm getting hungry anyways, what about you Rufus?" Ron answered with a small smile then looked to his right shoulder to where Rufus was perched.
"Hmm, yum, yum, hew lets go!" Rufus squeaked out while rubbing his hands together.
"Well that settles it." Kim smiled she folded up her cane, placed it in her bag and they started off in the direction of Bueno Nacho.
-------------
When they walked into Bueno Nacho Kim was getting more looks from people but she ignored it no mind. They sat at their usual booth and Ron offered to order the food and was off towards the counter. Kim pulled out her Kimmunicator pulling up the boy genius.
He looked up a noticing Kim smiled, "Hey Kim what's up need anything?"
She smiled back, "No not really, just wondering how things are going with those goggles of yours?"
"I thought you'd ask sometime today so I have good news." He moved away from the screen for a second returning with some papers. "Okay first off I got a quick response and was able to start working on them, second I've been looking at your eye condition and trying to determine how I will set them so that while your sight decreases it will increase to help you until they can't help anymore." He paused taking a breath then continued, "The only bad news right now is that they may not be ready till near the end of the week." He sighed.
"That's fine Wade, I know you're doing your best." She smiled encouragingly.
"Thanks Kim, anything else you need?" Wade brightened up then asked his question.
"Well there is one more thing…" Wade stopped and waited for her to finished, "How is everything on the mission front going?" Kim asked looking him in the eye.
Wade just smiled, "I thought you'd get to that, but ya you don't have to worry right now, everything is pretty quiet."
Kim sighed, "Okay, thanks Wade."
"No problem Kim, talk to you later." He signed off and just then Ron returned with two trays putting hers in front of her.
"What took you?" Kim asked coyly.
"Long line up, well dig in before Rufus dose." Ron smiled sitting down and taking some nachos.
Kim just smiled and unwrapped her burrito taking a bite as well.
Along with the regular stairs people gave them, a figure seated at another booth was taking a great interest in them, but more specifically in Kim. The stranger quickly left not being noticed by the two teens with a wicked smile on their face.
------------------
After lunch the duo headed for the Middleton Mall to find Monique. When they got there they headed straight for Club Banana knowing that Monique was working at the time but would soon be out. While walking through the mall Kim noticed people giving her the same stares as before. She just shook her head and kept walking beside Ron.
They got there just in time to catch Monique walking out the door. "Monique!"
Monique heard her named being called and new the voice immediately and turned with a smile on her face. "Hey Kim, Ron what's…" she stopped when she faced Kim and was surprised to see her wearing glasses, "Um…is there a new fashion trend I missed or is there something you want to tell me?"
Kim just smiled at her friends dismay, "Don't worry I don't think there is any trend you could miss and ya I sort of do have something to tell you c'mon." she motioned her to follow them and they were off towards the food court.
---------------------------
When they got to the food court they found a pretty secluded table and while Kim started explaining everything to Monique Ron when to get some food.
Monique was a bit stunned and said, "So…it just came out of nowhere?"
"Yup just like that, pretty weird but I guess it's just the way life works." Kim replied shrugging her shoulders. Then all of a sudden a hand is waving back and forth in front of her face. She looks up to fine that it is Monique's hand waving at her.
"What are you doing?" Kim asked eyeing her friend confusedly.
"Heh, oh sorry I was just wondering if you could see my hand is all." She shrugged sitting back in her seat.
Kim looked at her a bit confused and a bit miffed because of the situation, "Okay…anyways so what do you think?"
Monique had one hand under her chin looking to be in a concentrative state, "Well…for popularity sake the glass look pretty good but the school is going to have a field day trying to figure out why your wearing them because unless they all went blind for a bit and didn't see a new trend, expect trouble."
Kim groaned, "And I know exactly who to expect trouble from…and besides she already knows."
Monique looked confused, "Huh, when did she find out?"
Kim groaned again, "After I got my glasses my mom and I went to get lunch at Bueno Nacho and she popped up, though the good thing is she doesn't know I'm going blind she just thinks I'm wearing them for some reason or another."
"Well I guess that's better then nothing right?" Monique smiled shyly.
Ron chose that time to return with their food and even though they had eaten lunch fifteen minutes ago he still had a fair amount of food. "Here you go ladies your food is served."
"Thanks Ron."
"Ya thanks."
"So…what we talking bout?" He asked has he sat down next to Kim.
Kim pouted, "What I'm going to do when everyone starts wondering why I'm wear glasses and when the rumor mill starts working overtime."
Ron looked a bit confused and said, "I thought you where just going to walk into school with your glasses on and act like you always do?"
They both started at him contently blinking every few seconds cause a minute of awkward silence until Monique says, "Okay...any other ideas?" Kim just rested her head in her arms.
"What's wrong with my idea?" Ron asked looking very skeptical.
"Sorry Ron but if Kim did that Bonnie would be all over her and that's the food chain for ya." Monique answered back with a sigh.
"Well she doesn't need the stinkin food chain, why can't people just be themselves instead of having to always follow these crazy things?" Ron argued back frustrated at the crazy democracy of the high school food chain.
Monique was going to say something but she was cut off by Kim, "You know…he's right Mon."
Monique looked at Kim and saw the expression on her face and gave up fighting it.
"So…then what's your plan?" she asked after a minute of silence.
"Oh don't worry I think I know what to do." Kim had a sly grin on her face then noticed the time on her watch. "Opps sorry Mon but we have to jet." She stood up and Ron followed her as she started rushing off.
"Ron hold up!"
Ron turned to Monique's voice with a questioning expression.
"Where you guys going now?"
"Oh Kim signed up for some things at the CIB we're off to try a new sport." Ron smiled his goofy smile.
"Alright tell me how it goes, I'll cya guys later." Monique said as she stood and walked in the opposite direction thinking, "This is going to be an interesting change, just hope Kim can handle it."
"Cya later Monique!" Ron waved then turned to catch up to Kim.
-------------------------
It was around 3:30pm when the trio got to the CIB and when they got there they walked up to the reception desk but before they got to it they were stopped by a women with dark tan hair and glasses wearing sweats.
"Kim Possible?" the lady asked with a sense of authority.
"Yes…and you are?" Kim asked a bit confused at the random women's actions.
The women smiled, "I'm Miranda Hilton the coach for Colorado Goallball Team, Mike told me you would be coming." She stuck her hand out and shook Kim's then Ron's. "And you must be Ron Stoppable am I correct?"
Ron just smiled, "Yup that's me."
"Alright come on we have to drive out to Upperton to meet the rest of the team." Miranda motioned them to follow and they went to the underground parking. They got to a mini van and there were already people in it.
"Kim, Ron, this is Doug Duron, one of the senior players." The man in the passenger seat came out and shook their hands.
"Nice to meet you Kim, Ron now c'mon in the party is starting." He had black hair and the beard to go with it and he was around 6 feet tall.
"In the back is Grant Hardy and Angell Lu-Lebell, guys meet Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable." Miranda said as they entered the van.
Grant looked to be pretty large but well built with dark tan hair and Angell looked to be as thin as Kim with long brown hair tied in a ponytail.
"Hello their, Grant Hardy."
"Hey, I'm Angell."
"Hi, Ron Stoppable at your service." Ron greeted with his goofy grin.
"Nice to meet you." Kim pout her hand out but neither Grant or Angell did not put their hands out.
"Oh guys you may want to give them a bit of detail about your visual disability as for everyone else seatbelts on because we're off." Miranda said as she started the car and pulled out of the underground parking.
Kim looked a bit confused at the statement but put her seatbelt on and turned to face the others. "So what does she mean by that?"
"Oh simply really, I can only see shadows and light and grant can't see at all." Angell answered timidly but with a smile.
