Three weddings and a Funeral. By Kim's #1 Fan
Hey guys, I'm back,
Sorry about the long wait, but I was trying to come up with some new ideas to work in this.
Anyway, as always, I do not own Kim and Co., or The Rescue Rangers.
If you've read and reviewed, then thank you, if not, then please do.
And now...

Chapter 4: The funeral
Part 3: Who done it?
Ron Stoppable arrived in New York the next morning and went straight to the park where the rangers lived,
and knocked on their tree.
"Hello?" he said after knocking,
"Anybody at home?"
Almost immediately after he knocked, he was enveloped in a lavender beam.
As soon as the beam disappeared, Ron was a chipmunk.
He blinked in surprise, twitching his chipmunk nose.
"Ron!" squeaked a voice.
He was soon enveloped in a bone crushing hug from his wife, Kim
Possible.
"K.P. ..." he gasped,
"I...can't...breath."
"Oops," she said bashfully, letting him go.
"I missed you." she said sweetly.
"Not by much." he replied.
"Hey Ron." said Mrs. Dr. Possible.
"Hey Mrs. Dr. P," said Ron happily.
"Love the tail," he complimented,
"almost as cute as Kim's."
"Ron!" said Kim angrily.
"Hey," he apologized,
"I meant the mouse tail, not the tail...tail."
Suddenly, Monterey Jack appeared in view, scowling
"You've got a lot of nerve, showing up ere, Mate."
he said angrily.
"Hey, Mont-"
Ron never finished what he was saying, because Monterey slugged him.
"Monty?" Exclaimed Kim in shock.
"Why-"
"Don't even try to defend him Kimbo," declared Monty angrily,
throwing another glare at Ron.
"Ya should've been ere yesterday
mate, for Rosie's funeral!"
"Monty!" a very angry voice shouted from behind him.
He turned to find Foxglove staring at him angrily.
"Ron had his reason's for not coming yesterday Monty." she said angrily.
Ron rubbed his chest, his breath coming in weezes.
Kim went over and helped Ron back to his feet;
Then helped him dust off.
Monty stared at the young hybrid bat in disbelief.
"But luv-" he began to say in a broken voice.
"But nothing Monterey Jack!"
a very angry Gadget told him, marching up to him, and pointing a finger at him.
"You should always check your facts, before you hit someone Monty." scolded Chip from behind his blond wife.
"But-" he tried again.
"Ron wasn't here yesterday," Mrs. Dr. Possible said coldly to the big mouse,
"because he had to babysit his little sister Hana." she completed, checking Ron for any bruises.
"Well," thought Monty quickly,
"well he could av brought the little shela."
"No!" declared Kim coldly.
"Are you crazy?!"
"She's way too young!" added Gadget in a calm but icy voice.
"She wouldn't have understood what was happening to my mother." seethed Foxglove, angry at Monty's idiocy.
Monty welted under the condemnation.
"And even if she had," finished Mrs. Dr. Possible,
"It would have been way too much for her."
Monterey took all this in, carefully, feeling like a real bonehead.
Then turned to Ron,
"Sorry Mate," he apologized softly.
"I guess I could've gathered my facts before I walloped ya."
"Hey, it's all good bro." said Ron, patting the big mouse's shoulder.
Then he turned to Foxglove, and hugged her.
"Sorry I couldn't be here yesterday," he apologized.
"It's all right, Ron." she assured him sweetly,
"Mama wouldn't have wanted little Hana to see her like that anyway."
And with that, they all went back into the tree house.

Meanwhile, at the Happy Cat Tuna Factory, Fat cat was reading his morning paper.
"Hm," he murmured reading about a funeral the other day.
"Funeral for a Ranger hm?" he grinned evilly.
"Too bad we didn't get all of them, but, ones better then none I guess."
"Boss," a stupid voice called out meekly.
"What is it mole?" asked Fat Cat irritably.
"I'm sorry boss, I tried to build the bomb, but books don't make very good bombs."
"What?!" asked the cat angrily.
"Well you told me to build a bomb didn't you?" asked the mole fearfully.
"Yes." said the cat massaging his
temple, knowing what was coming.
"Well, I tried, boss, but books don't explode." finished the stupid mole.
"Oh go away, Before I decide to use you for a scratching post!" Fat Cat roared savagely.
"But the book," began the mole,
"GO!!" shouted the angry Cat.
The mole dashed out of the room quickly leaving behind a burned and charred book.
"And that book, is coming out of your allowance Mole!" yelled the cat after him.

"So Kimmie," asked Mrs. Dr. Possible ,
"What do we do first?"
""Well mom," said the red haired mouse,
"First we look for clues, back at the chocolate factory."
"We already did that Kim," explained Gadget , carrying in a plastic bag filled with clues.
"Thanks guys," said Kim, looking through the bag.
"Half of the works done."
She pulled out a large sheet of paper, with very large writing on it.( large to a small mouse, or chipmunk, normal size for a human being.)
"What do you make of this Ron?"
she asked, handing him the paper.
"Well," said Ron ponderously while examining the large paper.
"I could make a paper hat, or an airplane, or..."
Ron noticed the way Kim and the others were looking at him,
"Oh.." he exclaimed, finally understanding,
"you mean what do I think it means?"
"Right." answered Kim dryly.
"Well," he said, looking at the writing.
"This writing is way to big to have been done by an animal."
"Yeah," said Kim, examining the writing with him.
"Plus, look at how fancy, the curly letters and everything," added Ron carelessly
"Ron," exclaimed Kim, grabbing the paper,
"You just gave me an idea,"
she turned to her mother.
"Mom, can I have your signature here please?"
"You think I did it?" she asked hurtfully.
"Mom, of course not," Kim assured her frowning.
" it's just an experiment, now please."
Mrs. Dr. Possible signed where Kim showed her.
Everyone stared at the writing wondering what it meant.
"There, you see, not as big, but just as fancy." said Kim, showing Ron the signature.
"So your saying that your mom did do it?" asked a confused Ron.
"No Ron," answered Kim, annoyed.
"I'm saying it was done by a human, either a doctor, or a professor."
The minute Kim said Professor, all the rangers looked at her.
"Professor?" asked Gadget curiously.
"Nimnull!" exclaimed Monterey, his face contorted with rage; Then he pounding the table that he sat at.
"He's gonna pay!" muttered Foxglove evenly, flexing the claws on her wings.
"Now, hold it you guys," Kim, cut them off.
"That's just a theory, we have no proof."
"Uh, Kim," said Ron looking at a piece of cloth that had been in the bag of clues.
"This might just be your proof."
Kim walked over and looked at the cloth with him.
It was white, and looked like a piece from a lab coat.
"So," Kim, murmured examining the cloth.
"This looks like the piece of a lab coat, now, the question is,"
"This is from Professor Nimnull's lab coat." declared Gadget.
"How can you be sure Gadget?" asked Ron curiously.
"Trust Me Ron," said Gadget, holding her little mouse nose, and handing the cloth back to Kim,
"I Know."
Suddenly, Zipper came zooming into the room, and started shouting in a squeaky gibberish voice.
"Zipper what is it?" asked Chip,
baffled by Zipper's frantic behavior.
"Take a deep breath lad, and tell us what's wrong." Monty told his little friend.
Zipper took a deep breath, and spoke in a calmer voice,
though Kim and Ron couldn't make out the words
"He said that he was outside,
and found someone who's in trouble." said Gadget to everyone.
"And that I must come."
Gadget ran out the door followed by everyone else.
She went out on the porch, (Which was a branch of the tree.)
Zipper flew ahead and pointed.
Gadget looked down and gasped.
There on the ground, lay the beaten and bloody form of Lawhinee.
"Lawhinee?!" gasped Gadget.
"What's she doing here?"
"And what is she doing here?" asked Dale scratching his head.
"I don't know," Gadget told him,
"But I'd better find out."
She ran down the tree trunk, the others followed.
Gadget reached Lawhinee.
Getting on her knees, she turned the wounded mouse over.
Lawhinee opened her eyes and gasped in pain.
"Gadget...I'm...sorry." said the Hawaiian mouse, then she passed out, from her injuries.
Everyone came running over to see what had happened.
"What's she doing here?" asked Chip in disbelief.
"Oh my gosh," exclaimed Foxglove in horror,
"What happened?"
"looks like she was attacked brutally." explained Monty, gesturing at the bloody wounds and the tears in her clothing.
"We have to take her to a hospital." Mrs. Dr. Possible said seriously,
"She's hurt badly."
"But Mom," declared Kim desperately,
"She's a mouse, we can't take a mouse into an emergency room."
Then Ron turned to his wife.
"Then turn her human, then take her in, say she was mugged, and you found her in the street or something."
"Great idea, Ron!" exclaimed Kim,
grabbing Gadget's arm,
"Come on Gadget, your coming with us.
She's gonna need to see a familiar face when she wakes up."
"But who's Gonna--" began Gadget
"I'll work the penlight, Gadget," Foxglove told her,
"You just wait here."
Foxglove flew back into the tree.
"You guys wait here." Gadget told them.
They all stared at her in disbelief.
"Why?" Chip half asked, half demanded.
"In case another case comes up," Gadget told her chipmunk husband.
"I'll be fine, it's just a hospital."
"O.K." he conceded reluctantly.
So soon, Gadget, Kim and Ron had gathered around Lawhinee outside and were waiting to be turned into humans.
Foxglove walked out on a tree limb, aimed the penlight, then clicked the top.
Soon a lavender beam came out and turned them all into humans.
"Nice work, Foxy," said human Gadget, examining herself, then she examined Lahwhinee;
She was a young strawberry blond woman, with purple eye shadow,
a blue Hawaiian dress with flowers.
Their were tears in her clothing, and blood from her wounds.
"We'd better hurry," Gadget said in a worried voice,
"She's loosing more blood."
Kim took out her cell phone, and dialed 911.

A short time later, an ambulance arrived.
Some medics came out, and carefully put Lawhinee on a stretcher.
"Oh my-" a female medic exclaimed;
Then she looked at Gadget, Kim and Ron.
"What happened to her,"
Gadget opened her mouth, to tell her the truth, but Ron quickly covered her mouth with his hand, and Kim said,
"We just found her in the park, I think she was mugged, because we couldn't find her purse, wallet or any identification."
Gadget simply nodded her head, not wanting to say the wrong thing.
"We'll need the emergency room."
the medic exclaimed, and got into the ambulance.
"We'd better go with them," Kim said to Ron and Gadget.
"Lawhinee is going to need us."
Kim started to head after them , but Gadget grabbed her shoulder.
"What?" asked Kim,
"We've got to go."
"Kim," responded Gadget,
"I just realized that we have a slight problem."
"What?" asked Kim looking puzzled.
"Yeah," asked Ron, equally puzzled
"Sooner or later, they're gonna discover that she's got animal blood, not human blood in her."
she told them grimly.
"But she's human," Ron exclaimed puzzled,
"how could she have animal blood."
"She may look like a human,"
Gadget explained,
"but there will still be differences they can find."
"So what do we do?" asked a worried Kim.
Gadget sighed.
"We'll have to tell them the truth."
she answered.
"Uh, but won't we go to the nut house?" asked Ron frowning.
Gadget hesitated.
"I hate to say it," Kim told her grimly,
"but he has a point."
"Then we'll have to prove it." declared Gadget, her face full of determination.
She looked up at the tree.
"Foxglove, give me the penlight!"
Foxglove flew down carrying the penlight in her feet, and dropped it in Gadget's hand.
"Let's go." she said running toward the town, Kim and Ron behind her.

Dr Marx, a dark skinned young man, was working at a table in the emergency room, examining some blood.
Nearby, Lawhinee was laying on a bed unconscious.
Her Hawaiian clothes replaced with a knee length hospital gown;
and she was hooked to life support.
"Dr. Marx," said a nurse entering the emergency room, followed by Kim and Gadget .
"What?" he demanded in a calm voice.
"I am very busy."
"These people say they important information discerning your patient." the nurse explained crisply.
"Well," he said slowly.
"I could use information about this patient."
"Please leave." Kim asked the nurse.
The nurse left.
"O.K.," he asked thoughtfully.
"What can you tell me?"
"First, have you found anything... strange about her." asked Kim.
"Well," he began slowly,
"she seems to have been shot from the side, and then was cobbled brutally. She has a broken rib, and needs a blood transfusion.
And her blood it's...it's weird,"
Dr. Marx gestured to some test tubes with blood samples.
"I've only seen this blood type in animals."
"I can explain that." Kim told him.
"Good, I will take anything."
he declared stressfully.
"What is it?"
Kim quickly aimed the penlight,
and held it in view.
"this penlight can change anyone into any creature." she explained.
"Your patient was originally a mouse she got injured, and we turned into a human so we could help her."
Dr Marx stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you serious?" he asked, frowning deeply.
"Yes," Gadget interjected,
"Kim, show him."
Kim pointed the penlight at Gadget, and fired the lavender beam at her;
Gadget changed in size and form, back into a little mouse.
The doctor stared in bewilderment at Gadget.
"She was a mouse too," Kim explained.
"Now watch,"
she clicked the penlight at Gadget;
Soon Gadget grew to human form again.
"So, what is going on again?" he asked carefully.
"She got hurt badly doctor," Kim explained again, gesturing at Lawhinee.
"But, we had no idea where to take her for help." added Gadget.
"So, you turned her human, so I could help her?" asked Dr. Marx,
slowly understanding what they were saying.
Gadget and Kim nodded.
"O.K. I'll do what I can,"
Dr. Marx told them.
"But, she'll need a blood transfusion, and I don't have the blood she needs."
"What about mine?" asked Gadget earnestly.
"Could you use it?"
Dr. Marx eyed her carefully.
"Probably, but I'll need to check it first to see if it's the right type."
"O.K." said Gadget slowly,
"Do what you have to."

Gadget laid on a hospital bed, next to her was Lawhinee, still unconscious.
They were both attached together by a bloodline.
"Do you know if these two are related?" Dr. Marx asked Kim in a skeptical voice.
"Not that I know of doctor, why?"
asked a perplexed Kim.
"Because I went over their blood type and it is very rare, even in mice." replied the doctor.
"Are you saying they're..." Kim began to ask.
"Sisters." Dr. Marx finished.
"Sisters?" asked a shocked Kim.
"Sisters??" exclaimed Gadget, looking up wondering what they were talking about.
"Sisters??" asked Lawhinee, who had just regained consciousness.
"Where am I? What's going on?" she murmured, trying to come fully awake.
"Your in a hospital Lawhinee," Gadget assured her, looking across the room.
"It's alright."
Lawhinee looked at Gadget, and her eyes widened when she noticed two things.
First was that the young blond human in the bed next to her was about her size, which wasn't possible.
Then she noticed she was human.
"WHAT HAPPENED!!" she screamed.
"Now Lawhinee," said Gadget soothingly,
"calm down."
"Calm Down?" demanded a very upset
Lawhinee, ignoring the pain in her body.
"Calm Down?? I'm a human! How in the world did this happen?"
"Take it easy mam." Dr. Marx told her.
"Your recovering from severe injuries."
"What's going on?" Lawhinee demanded in a calmer voice.
"And who are you?"
"It's me, Gadget." Gadget told the young woman who used to be a mouse; smiling with slight amusement.
Lawhinee eyed Gadget, having difficulty absorbing this.
"Is this a joke?" she asked.
Gadget grinned and shook her head.
"As for what's going on, it was this," explained Kim, showing her the penlight.
"It can turn anyone into anything."
"Incredible," gasped Lawhinee, in amazement.
"now, why am I human?" she asked, beginning to calm down.
"Well," began Gadget from across the bed.
"When you passed out outside ranger head quarters, we knew you needed medical help, so we turned you human, and brought you too an emergency room."
Lawhinee had been listening very carefully to every word,
then suddenly she looked at herself.
"Where are my clothes?" she demanded glaring at everyone present.
"It's part of procedure," explained Dr. Marx.
Lawhinee's cheeks turned red, and she clutched her arms, trembling with embarrassment.
"Don't worry," he assured her,
"A woman did it."
Lawhinee sat back and relaxed.
Then she looked over at Gadget.
"Gadget!" she said excitedly,
"You've got to be careful," she exclaimed.
"Who did this too you?" asked Kim curiously.
"Was it Professor Nimnull?" asked Gadget angrily.
"We've got to find him Kim, he has to pay.."
"No." said Lawhinee,
"It wasn't Professor whoever," she explained dismissively,
"It was Rat Capone and his gang."
