AN: Well, by this chapter I thought Tri Stoppable deserved a theme song but I didn't know what to write until I was listening to "Say The Word" and inspiration struck me. I also didn't want to get into any legal trouble or fanfiction trouble by using a song already out there. I don't usually do my own songs so tell me if you liked it and... be honest or nice, no flames please:D
Chapter 25: Tx2 Surprise!
Original Song: Try Stopping Us
By Aero Tendo (aka me)
When your world is crumbling,
When you need help,
When it seems that the bad guys are winning,
Try Calling,
Try Beeping,
Try us, we are waiting to hear from you
Try Try Try Stopping us,
We are on the way,
Here to save the world,
Save your world,
Save you from the bad guys,
Save you from the freaks,
Try Try Try Stopping us,
We are on the way,
You can't stop us,
You can't beat us,
You can't block us,
We are Tri Stoppable!
(On the space station Shiny)
Kim and Ron walk in the Gym ahead of Mindy to see Shelia (aka Shego) sparring with each other, not using their powers in the least.
Mindy walks in and says, "All right Cindy!" which causes Cindy to become distracted for a moment and in that moment Shego grabs Cindy before she flips her down a bit hard onto the mat.
Cindy groans and says, "Thanks Mindy… that was helpful."
Mindy winces as she says, "Oops, sorry sis!"
Yori says, "Ok, enough practice for now."
Cindy gets up and says, "Thanks for sparring with me. You're still the best fighter I've ever met aside from my mother."
Shego grins and says, "Thanks Cindy, always nice to be appreciated."
Mindy looks around and says, "Has anyone seen Jesse?"
Cindy shakes her head, "No, I haven't seen him. I woke up early and ran into the two of them walking towards the gym."
Shego says, "I haven't seen him since I went to bed. When I woke up, I just assumed that he was still in bed because of the kind of day he had yesterday."
Kim says, "I know that Ron and I haven't seen him either. Do you suppose he could still be in bed?"
Shego looks uncertain as she says, "I don't think so… He usually doesn't sleep in all that much, he's more of an early riser like I am."
Cindy and Mindy say in stereo, "Then where's Jesse?" as they both looked pretty worried about where he could be. They both wondered if Animal or Rat had managed one final trick in which to get a hold of Jesse in the end.
Yori can see all the worry on their faces before she says, "Perhaps we should go look for him? All of us?"
Shego says, "Good idea! Let's all split up and start looking for him. He still has to be on the station because there's been no ships that left since then!"
No one wanted to even entertain the idea of the only place that Jesse could be if he wasn't on the station anymore because that would have meant that Jesse wasn't… no, it was too horrific of a thought to entertain.
Kim says, "Everyone split into teams of three and we'll each take a different direction. Use the Kimmunicator or the ship's com to alert the others once he's found!" Ron pulls out his communicator from his pocket and says, "Here Yori, catch!"
As Yori catches it, Ron says, "Use this to communicate with us."
Cindy and Mindy say in stereo, "We're going with you!"
Ron says, "No! Kim, Shelia and I will all go up and you three work your way downward. We will communicate with the three of you if we find anything."
Cindy says, "But Father…" before Kim says, "Ron's right and if something has happened to Jesse, then every moment we waste here jeopardizes things!"
Cindy says, "You're right. Let's go!"
The two pairs rush off in their directions, each carefully yet quickly searching the station, room by room by room.
Shego says, "I do hope we can find my Jesse unharmed… because if he's ok, I'm going to smack him one for worrying all of us!"
Kim rolls her eyes before she says, "I'm sure that Jesse's ok. He took on King Rat guy before right?"
Ron says, "Yeah, and our ride is waiting to take us all home. I don't want to miss our ticket home."
Kim stops and says, "Wait a minute Ron! I think you may be onto something!"
Shego says, "Wait a second… what ride? You mean a ship has docked with the station?"
Kim says, "Yes, Kodak came and told us that a ship arrived from Earth to take us home. Didn't Kodak stop by?"
Shego nods, "Yeah, he came by but only long enough to tell us that you'd be dropping by the gym in a little while." She frowns before she says, "I guess he figured you guys would tell us the news."
Shego says, "I bet that Jesse went to the ship to greet the crew! Argh! Get on the horn and tell the others to meet us there!"
Ron looks at the map on the wall and says, "Hey, we're close to the command center!"
Shego yells at Ron, "So what? We need to get to the ship to see if Jesse is there!"
Ron says, "I just mean that the captain should know if Jesse met up with the ship and where the crew is."
Kim smiles at Ron and says, "That's brilliant Ron! I'm proud of you!"
Ron smiles back and says, "Why thank you! I do have my moments…"
Shego says, "I guess you're right. Let's go to the command room. Which way is it Ron?"
Ron points down the corridor and says, "That way! Follow me!" before he starts to run off in the direction.
(Meanwhile on the opposite side of the station)
Yori says, "Jesse is very important to you both isn't he?"
Cindy and Mindy pause to look at each other before looking at Yori and blushing.
Cindy says, "W-W-Why do you say that? I mean he's our best friend since Kindergarten!"
Mindy nods as she says, "Yeah, there isn't anything we wouldn't do for him!"
Yori says, "Is that the only reason? Because he's a childhood friend?"
Cindy gulps a little nervously and says, "Um, yeah… I mean why wouldn't that be enough? I sup-suppose that because he's also my best friend is another good reason."
Mindy nods and says, "I agree. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to Jesse. I've known him for so long, it seems like he would always be part of my life."
Yori says, "You both have strong feelings for him don't you? But…"
Mindy says, "But what? Do you know something? You've got to tell us!"
Cindy says, "What do you know about Jesse? Do you know where he is?"
Yori shakes her head as she says, "No, I don't but I do remember hearing someone sing last night…"
Both Cindy and Mindy look at Yori as they wondered when suddenly the communicator that Yori was carrying goes off.
Yori smiles softly as she pulls it out and says, "Saved by the bell…" She presses a button as she looks down, missing the relieved expression on both of the girl's faces.
Kim's face appears on screen as she says, "Hey everyone!"
Yori presses a button, which creates a hologram of Kim's head in the air. She smiles softly and says, "Your daughters and I are doing fine. We have not found any intruders or any sign of Jesse yet."
Kim says, "We met up with Kodak in Command and he told us that we should all meet at the docking station. That's where we should find Jesse."
Yori smiles bigger and says, "I am relieved to hear that Jesse is all right. But if I may ask, why the docking station?"
Mindy says, "That's right! I totally forgot to mention that Kodak came to us and mentioned that a ship has arrived to take us home!"
Cindy says, "You could have mentioned that sooner Mindy! It could have saved us a lot of trouble searching for Jesse!"
Kim says, "Calm down Cindy, even Ron and I forgot so don't go blaming her."
Cindy sighs and says, "Yes Mother…" She knew that getting angry wasn't helping the situation so she let it go, besides she was happy that they'd found Jesse.
Yori says, "Where is the docking station?"
Kim says, "Where are you at? What level?"
Cindy spots the sign on the wall and says, "Mother, we are at Level C-4A"
Kim turns her head to look at someone who wasn't within the Kimmunicator's immediate view before she turns around and says, "Ok, according to Kodak you three are actually pretty close to the docking station. Just go to Level C-8A and you'll be there."
Cindy says, "Well be there!"
Kodak steps into the range and says, "Don't do anything rash, just wait for us to get there ok? I think his mother wants a word with him and I don't think you want to cross her on this point."
Yori bows slightly before she says, "Very well, we shall wait for your arrival at the docking station."
Kim says, "See you guys soon! Kim out!" before the connection is closed.
Mindy says, "Come on, let's go! I want to see Jesse!" She turns and starts to run towards the docking station with Cindy shouting, "Hey, wait up for me! I want to see him too you know!"
Yori follows the two as she thinks, "I wonder which one of them it was that was singing to him? Judging from their reactions, they both did some singing but without the other knowing it. Whoever it was that did the singing to Jesse did it with so much love that it makes me wonder… Is she waiting for Jesse to wake up and ask her out like Kim was waiting for Ron? So many questions unanswered."
The run is a quick one and it becomes quickly obvious as to which docking port had a newly arrived ship since it could be seen through the windows and the airlock light was green, indicating that there was air between the station and the ship.
Mindy looks around, expecting to see Jesse but no one was there so she crosses her arms and puts on her 'Darn! I thought he'd be here' pouting face.
Cindy and Yori look around before quickly seeing why Mindy was pouting. Cindy says, "Where's Jesse, Mindy?"
Mindy says poutingly, "I don't know!"
Yori says, "Perhaps he is on the ship? In which case, we should wait for your parents before we do anything."
Mindy and Cindy both turn to look at the ship, before Cindy walks over to the airlock and says, "I wonder why Jesse's on the ship?" before Mindy walks up and says, "And why do we have to wait?"
Yori says, "Because Kodak asked you to wait and so did his mother."
Now the twins couldn't have cared at that moment about Kodak's wishes but neither of them wanted to be the one to face the wrath of Jesse's mother so in perfect sync they heavily sigh, cross their arms and lean against the wall by the airlock.
Yori couldn't help but giggle a little at the sight when they did that as she thinks, "Such harmony, I wonder how anyone can tell them apart at times."
A few minutes later, Kodak comes in with Kim, Ron, and Jesse's mother the last of which she looked terribly happy if her glowing hands were any indication.
Shego says, "Where's Jesse?" as she quickly looks around and spots the twins.
Mindy says, "Jesse is…" with Cindy finishing as she says, "In the ship." Even as they both point at the ship behind them with their thumbs at the same time.
Kim thinks, "Sometimes they remind me of my brothers a little too much!" as she remembers how Jim and Tim would sometimes do that when they were upset.
Shego says, "Well, I'm going to go see him!" She begins to storm towards the airlock before Kim slips in front of her, "Wait! We need to see if the airlock is ready or you could blow us all into space!"
Shego grumbles and nods before Kodak says, "It is ok, the airlock's been cycled already. In fact, it looks like they know we're here because they're coming out."
As Kodak points at the ship through the airlock every head turns to see the doors on the ship opening and out comes Jesse followed by two astronauts with their helmets on and the sunvisor down so you couldn't see their faces.
Jesse and the two astronauts quickly pass through the short airlock between the ship and the station before Jesse is suddenly hugged from both sides by Mindy and Cindy!
Cindy says, "Jesse! When you disappeared…" Mindy says, "We were so worried about you!" Cindy says, "So please don't ever…" Mindy says, "Disappear on us like that!"
Shego sighs as her hands go out and she thinks, "I can't do anything now… that is just too cute."
Kim says, "Girls! Girls! Back up and let Jesse breath! And let the astronauts get by, they still haven't fully come out of the airlock!"
Ron says to Kim, "It is ok Kim, they're just happy to see him."
Kim smiles a little at Ron, "Yeah, I know Ron…"
The twins drag Jesse to the side as he says in a joking tone, "Hey, you two should know that you can't get rid of me that easily by now."
Kim says to the astronauts, "Sorry about that. Thanks for coming to pick us up."
The two astronauts turn to look at each other briefly before they nod at each other, and then turn back towards Kim.
The left astronaut says, "No need to thank us…" with the right then following suit as he says, "after all what kind of brothers would we be?" with the left finishing as he says, "If we allowed our big sister to get stuck in space?"
Kim's eyes nearly pop out of their socket as she sees her younger brothers, Jim and Tim as they grin at her from their astronaut suits before Jim says, "Hey Kim, long time…" with Tim grinning more as he says, "no see, how's it hanging?"
Kim shouts in her surprise, "The Tweebs!"
AN: Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I am sorry to get out so late but I've had a busy day. Can you all guess what the Tx2 Surprise stands for now? Tweebs times 2 Surprise! Jim and Tim along with Cindy and Mindy! Lol! Yeah, I know... lame. So what did you think of Shego sparring with Cindy? What did you think of the mad rush to find Jesse? Lack of communication will get you everytime. What did you think of Yori and her teasing of the twins? What did you think of Yori's thoughts and unanswered questions? Did you like the twin hugging Jesse got? (Why can't beautiful twins ever give ME a hug like that? sigh) Did anyone see the arrival of Jim and Tim at the end? As much as Jim and Tim were into building rockets when they were younger, it makes sense that they'd have something handy on hand to come pick up their sister and the others with. Anyone care to guess what'll happen next?
