"Do you hear some crashing noises?" Kim asked Riley, as they reached the girl's room.

"Probably my dad" Riley explained "he's always breaking something. Anyway Kim, have a seat," she added, pulling away the chair from her desk "I only have this one chair, so I can just stand if you want."

"It's okay, you don't need to treat me like I'm some kind of celebrity" Kim said "I'm just a normal girl like you."

"You're so modest" Riley replied, awestruck.

"Now, you mentioned some questions you had?"

"Right, questions, yes" Riley said "but first, let me just say how much I really admire you. I love how tough and smart you are; how you do well in school, but can kick butt as well. To me, you are the true example of a modern woman."

"That's very insightful for someone your age" Kim said "and very nice of you to say."

"Well I meant it" Riley said "when I grow up, I want to be just like you."

"You're not going to start copying my look, are you?"

"What? No, of course not" Riley said "only somebody with no life would copy a person's identity. Besides, I know what its' like to have people copying your look. No, I meant I want to stand for the same principles as you, while keeping my own style."

"Wow, I have to say, you're the most well-adjusted fan I've ever met" Kim said.

"Thanks" Riley replied "okay, question one, do you ever get worried when you go on missions?"

"Well, sure, I mean, there's always the potential for something to go wrong" Kim replied "but you have to learn to think positive, and just assure yourself it will be okay. And nothing's gone wrong so far."

Back in the living room, Todd came out of the kitchen, sipping a soda he got from the fridge.

"Hey, dad what's with all the crashing noises?" he asked.

"Your mother's outside doing something in her private base" Dick explained "and you know she says we're not allowed in there."

"Oh" he said, then peered out the window "hey somebody parked an ugly looking purple car outside our house."

"That probably belongs to Kim Possible and her friends" Dick explained "they're upstairs talking with your sister."

Todd quickly spit out his drink "wait, Kim Possible, the famous teen hero, is here in our house, right upstairs?"

"Teen hero, and pop singing sensation" Dick corrected him.

"Whatever" Todd said "um, I gotta go dad, I need to, um, go…polish my coin collection, see ya" he said as he zipped off upstairs.

"It's nice to see he has a hobby" replied the oblivious Dick "when I was his age, I used to collect baseball cards. Then one day, my mom threw them away to make more room in the attic for her stuffed cats. Every day I still wish I had those cards" he sniffled "why, cards, why?!"

"So anyway, I managed to escape Drakken's trap and still get back to the talent show in time to sing my song" Kim said "of course, Ron won because of all the acts he did to stall for time, but it was still a pretty good day."

"I'll say" Riley said "your life is so fascinating."

"I'm sure your life is great too."

"Oh it is" Riley replied "interesting things always seem to happen to me or my family. For example, one time…"

Before Riley could begin, the door to her room came open. There, standing amazed in the doorway, was Todd.

"Kim Possible!" he shouted, and ran into the room and latched himself on to her leg.

"Okay, this is new" Kim commented.

"Todd, what are you doing in here?!" Riley asked angrily.

"I wanted to meet Kim Possible."

"Why? You told me she was lame."

"I only said that to cover up the fact that I liked her" Todd explained "like what I said about your hat that you wore for the school paper. I really wanted it for myself."

"Well you can have it now" Riley said "I don't need it anymore."

"Sweet!" Todd said, detaching himself and looking through his sisters' closet for said hat.

"Why do you like Kim Possible, anyway?" Riley asked.

"Because she fights bizarre villains and saves the world" Todd replied, emerging with the brown fedora "at last, my precious is mine" he added, stroking the hat as one would a kitten.

"So? Mom does that."

"Yeah, but she hasn't been on the covers of magazines" Todd replied "Kim, let me ask you, have you ever battled any villains with like, robotic limbs?"

"Only Gemini" Kim replied "his hand was robotic."

"How about a guy with like, 4 heads, or that could shoot death rays out of his nose?"

"Get out of here!" Riley said, pushing her brother towards the door "Kim and I are trying to have a serious conversation and you're ruining it."

"Fine, I'll leave" Todd said "but you can't keep me out forever." With that, he stormed out and shut the door.

"Sorry about that" Riley apologized.

"No big, I've got two like him at home" Kim replied "but what did you mean when you said your mom saves the world?"

"Oh, my mom's a spy" Riley explained.

"Really?"

"Yeah, in fact you two are alike in many ways" Riley said "I think you'd really get along."

"I can't wait to meet her" Kim replied.

Meanwhile, Agent K returned to the house, dusting off her hands.

"Everything okay out there?" Dick asked her "I heard lots of crashing."

"Yes, everything's a-ok" Agent K replied "I certainly wasn't outside smashing things in a jealous rage."

"That's good to know."

"No dear, I was smashing things in a jealous rage" Agent K explained.

"Then, why did you say you weren't?"

"It's called sarcasm" Agent K added "you'd think after the times you heard it from C.A.R. you'd be able to!..." she paused for a few minutes, before she resumed speaking. "I'm sorry dear, I shouldn't snap at you like that. It's just, well this whole Kim Possible thing has me upset."

"Is it because she didn't give you a signed album?"

"No, that has nothing to do with it" Agent K replied "it's more along the lines of…Dick, you think I'm a good mother, don't you?"

"Of course. You're the best mother in the history of mothering."

"You know I try to be, anyway" Agent K continued "and even though I don't really understand a lot of the things that Riley & Todd have problems with, I always try to help them as best I can."

"And you do" Dick added.

"Thank you dear" Agent K replied "but as you know, the ways of espionage are what I know best. And, well…one day I hoped to pass that knowledge onto Riley. And when we worked together to stop Dr. Scorpius, I thought she wanted the same thing."

She sighed "but now I find out she's been admiring this Kim Possible character, who basically does what I do, but is younger and more tech savvy. And if she learns espionage from her, well, then what can I possbly give her?"

"Don't say that K, you've got lots of skills outside of spying" Dick said "there's your…no wait, that doesn't work. Well about your…no, you can't do that well either. Ooh, or how about…no, that isn't good."

"I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but its' clearly obvious I've been replaced" Agent K replied "Riley has found someone else to teach her the skills she should be learning from me."

"I think you're making too much of this" Dick said "they're probably not doing anything spy related. You know how girls get when they talk. Why, I'm sure they're up there talking about boys and clothes and stuff right now."

"Okay, to do a successful roundhouse kick, you keep one leg on the ground, then kick out with the other, like so" Kim said, demonstrating to Riley.

"Like this?" Riley asked, trying the move, "aah!" she shouted, as she fell on her butt. "Man, I'm never going to get the hang of this" she whined "I think my legs are too skinny."

"Don't be discouraged, it took me a long time before I got the hang of it" Kim told her, helping her to her feet "but if you really want to do this, you just need to keep practicing."

"Thanks for agreeing to teach me some self-defense moves" Riley said.

"No big, but shouldn't your mom help you with this?"

"Yeah, my mom has her own ideas about self-defense" Riley replied.

Several days earlier:

"Hey mom" Riley said, approaching Agent K "what should I do to protect myself when I go out?"

"If you need protection dear, I can lend you one of my flamethrowers" Agent K replied.

"Um, that's okay" Riley said nervously "I think that might be a bit much."

"There's no such thing as too much protection" Agent K replied "in fact, I believe I have a spare one in my weapons storage unit. Let me just go get it for you."

"That's okay, really."

"Nonsense, it'll only take a few minutes."

"That is a little extreme" Kim commented back in the present.

"Tell me about it" Riley said "so I didn't bother to ask her for self-defense lessons. And now, I guess I don't have to."

"Okay, well now I'm going to teach you a basic back flip" Kim said "good for avoiding lasers and getting on the top of cheer pyramids."

Next time, Ron hangs out with Dick and meets the very sarcastic C.A.R.
