Before I Begin my newest Kim Possible story, I need to thank all my reviewers from my previous stories.
Your kind words always inspire me to do better. I also want to thank my loyal and trustworthy partner, and beta reader, Lonestar. And now...
Chapter 1 : Opportunity Knox
The sun peeked through the window of Kim's bedroom. The redhead stretched out a little and moaned. With the school work , extracurriculars and world saving, sleep was something she truly cherished.
What an inopportune time for the Kimmunicator to go off.
Her hand smacked at the night table in vain to reach the device . She grabbed it and sat up in bed , allowing the covers to fall off of her.
With a huge yawn , she switched on the monitor . "Oh , what's the sitch , Wade?"
"Drakken's been spotted in the grand Canyon ."
"That sounds familiar . Any idea what he's up to ?"
Wade rubbed the back of his head.
"I'm not exactly sure , but I'll contact you if I get any leads."
"I'll get Ron. See if you can get us a ride ."
"I'm on it Kim." The screen went black. She set the device down and stepped out of bed , stretching even more . She muttered under her breath as she got dressed . 'Doesn't Drakken ever sleep ?' , she thought to herself.

Kim sat and glanced out the window
of the plane soaring through the air . No matter how many times she traveled , she was always amazed at how the sky and ground looked from so high up .
Her gaze shifted Ron , who wore a content expression on his boyish young face . Having enjoyed a hearty breakfast , how could he be blamed for looking so happy? Ever since becoming a couple , one of the things he had always wanted was for Kim to come over to his house for breakfast. Looking back, he felt a little guilty for always dining at her house and never offering an invite.
Kim leaned forward in her seat. "How much longer till we're there ?"
The pilot flipped up his shaded goggles .
"Shouldn't be more than a few minutes."
"Great ."

The craft touched down on a peek overlooking the Grand Canyon.
The teens stepped out of the plane and headed for the edge.
Ron glanced around . "I guess we'll have to take donkeys to the bottom ."
Kim squinted a little at a nearby sight . She laughed at it in surprise .

"I can't believe this. A hot air balloon taking us through the canyon . I could never have predicted this , Mr. Baxter ."
" Well this time of year , it's safer for balloon travel ; very few unpredictable shifts in the wind to knock us off course."
Just then , an unpredictable shift in the wind blew the balloon near the rocky walls . The middle-aged man adjusted the controls, just missing a collision.
The balloon steadied through the air once more .
"Like those there . It's still something we've been practicing. We're not yet ready to try with tourists. Are you two all right ?"
"Oh, it's nothing we haven't faced before , right Ron?"
A brief look of nausea swept over the boy as he sank to the floor of the basket.
"Okay. Almost nothing." Kim looked out and saw a tiny shed in the distance. "We need to get down there."
"No problem , Miss."
Mr . Baxter pulled on a cord, decreasing the amount of gas, as the balloon descended toward the ground .

As the teens approached the shack , Kim switched on the Kimmunicator .
"Wade , any news on what Drakken is planning ?"
"Sorry Kim, still nothing . However, I am picking up a huge energy signature , so be alert."
"I will." She switches off the device. "Come on , Ron."
"Right behind you K.P." He follows her into the shack.

The teens looked toward the pot-bellied stove and pulled the connecting pipe down, revealing the hidden elevator . They stepped into it and allowed the car to move down.
To there surprise , the surrounding area was completely dark.
Kim stepped out first. " You stay here Ron , I'll let you know when it's safe."
"K.P. , are you sure that...?"
"Ron , trust me."
Ron exhaled and waited in the car.
XxXxXxXxX
Kim pulled out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket. She pushed a button and the night vision in her specs was activated . 'thank you Wade.' she thought.
Unusually , this looked like an ordinary lair with standard – issue devices. She glanced around . Had she been misled ? There was no Drakken , and nothing that would constitute a powerful energy signature.
Her gaze fixed on a big mass with a cover on it . She ran to it and pulled the cover off . Kim gasped and slowly backed away .
She shook her head . " No . No way ."
There was frightened awe in her voice .
Another gasp escaped her lips as she fell backwards and hit her head . It's like an ottoman materialized behind her and she tripped on it.
"Way Princess." Shego , wearing a superior smirk and a more traditional pair of night-vision goggles , stood over her .
XxXxXxXxX
"Oh man, I hope Kim's all right ." Ron punched his hand...then shook it.
"Ouch." He straightened up .
"If Drakken's done something to her..."
"And what could that fool possibly do to me ?"
"K.P.! You're all right!"
"Of course I am , and I've found Drakken ."
"In the dark ?"
"Night-vision glasses."
"Oh." Ron started to pout . She couldn't see it , but his voice made it obvious .
"How come I never get cool stuff ?"
Kim put on the glasses and took Ron's hand . "Come on. I'll take you to him ."
He followed her out . "I don't know . What if there's a trap waiting for us? "
"Don't you trust me ? Now lets go . He might get away."
XxXxXxXxX
After a couple minutes of walking , they stopped.
"Here he is all tied up and waiting for the authorites."
Drakken grunted inaudibly. As far as Ron was concerned , he had been gagged.
Ron reached his hands out . " I'll have to take you at your word K.P."
He felt his hand being taken in her own . He was so distracted by how dainty her hand was , he didn't even notice that was being led against a panel .
A helmet attached to a tube lowered onto his head .
" Whoa K.P. Are we entering a construction area ? What's with the helmet ?"
"Now, now. Don't want you suffering any kind of injuries...yet."
The last word seemed to be muttered under her breath.
She flipped a switch, sending sparks of light flying through the area.
Ron groaned as he slumped to the ground .
"You know , it's a little too dark in here. Why don't I turn on the lights?"
Kim did so , revealing an empty lair and four people , herself included . Drakken was bound and gagged. Ron stood under one end of the brain switch machine . At the other end was Shego . She put a hand to her head and groaned . "What hit me ?" She cleared her throat . "What hit my voice ?" She looked down at herself . "Oh." The green clad woman fainted .
Ron came to and repeated the same 'hand to head' gesture. "I've got such a headache ."
"Shego, the buffoon, qucikly!" Kim pointed toward the woman's former body.
He stumbled over and tied up Shego's legs . Kim went to a metal closet and pulled out a suitcase .
In it was a mancle big enough for both hands . She put it over Shego's hands and locked it.
Ron put his hands on his hips and glared at the redhead .
"And just why do you have that with you ?"
Kim chuckled nervously . "Well Shego, it's for those times when... you know , you become too unpredictable ."
Ron grabbed the front of her shirt . "If I still had my hands , I'd show you how unpredictable I can get ."
"Shego , please . We still have a plan to execute ."
He let her go . "Fine . But it better work."

The Kimmunicator was switched on . Wade appeared on the screen . "Oh hey, Kim."
"Hello...um..."
"Wade." Ron murrmered to her.
"Wade."
"Are you okay Kim ?"
"I'm fine . Just a little disoriented . Drakken really did a job , but I'm okay now ."
"Good. G J will be there in minutes."
"Excellent ." Kim switched off the device , and Ron at her side , walked over to their former selves.
Shego woke up and found that she was tied back to back with Drakken .
She tried to wrest herself free , but the ropes were too tight . She found that her legs were tied and her hands encased in a metal manacle .
"Struggle all you like , Stoppable . Those ropes aren' breaking "
Drakken shifted his head around .
"What have you done ?"
"Seized a golden opportunity is what . We are going to have so much fun ."
Kim put a hand to her chest . "We being myself and Shego ."
"The two of us , young bodies , clean records , access to anywhere in the world...I can't wait."
"You won't get away with this ."
Kim pranced toward the 'villains' on the floor.
"Oh , that is just so rich . Who knew I could sound ridiculous ?"
Ron rolled his eyes . "Yeah . Who knew?"
Kim tugged Drakken's cheek and let go.
"I'm gonna miss this body. Oh wait,, no I'm not." She chuckled in a manner most Drakkenesque .
"Hey!"
"What is it Shego ?"
"Um , shouldn't we do something about this...?" He motioned toward the brain switch machine .
"Good idea . Wouldn't want people to get too nosy."
The two teens set about dismantling the machine .
Drakken and Shego moaned as their only chance of returning to normal fell to pieces .
