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 26: It ain't exactly rocket science!
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 says, "Tweebs! What are you two doing here?"
Jim says, "Now big sis, is that any…" Tim says, "Way to greet your brothers…" Jim says, "Who came all this way to give you a ride?"
Kodak turns to Kim and says, "Do they always talk like that? It is really disconcerting."
Kim nods as she says, "Yes they do. They've done it ever since they were kids." She then steps past him and says, "Jim! Tim! How did you two know to even come here?"
The twins look at each other with obvious confusion on their faces before Jim says, "Haven't you heard?"
Kim crosses her arms and says, "Heard what?"
Tim says, "How the whole world knows that you saved it?" Jim says, "From the rock…" Tim says, "That was spelling certain doom…" Jim says, "for the world and…" Tim says, "how the two teams saved everybody?"
Kim blinks and says, "What are you two talking about?"
Kodak says, "Oh, that's right Kim… I didn't get around to telling you did I?"
Kim says, "Tell me what? Will someone just please tell me what the tweebs are talking about?"
Kodak says, "Well, as I explained to Shelia and her husband in the communications room earlier. I had alerted the Earth about the meteorites and broadcast your heroic efforts within the meteor storm."
Kim says, "You knew about this?"
Shego nods and says, "Yeah, but I assumed that he would tell the rest of you as well after he left."
Kim sarcastically says, "Well apparently he didn't!"
Shego growls softly, "How was I supposed to know what he did or didn't tell you?"
Kodak steps between the two with hands raised and says, "Ladies! Calm down!" He looks at Kim and says, "She's right, I should have told you after leaving but it slipped my mind." He then looks at Shego and says, "You could have brought up the topic and asked what the others thought about it but…" He pauses as he sees her hands ignite in their fiery plasma way before he quickly adds, "it wasn't your responsibility so I take the full blame." He relaxes as she puts out her hands and seems to be satisfied with his answer.
Ron says, "Now that, that's all settled. How about we all go home? I'm sure Kodak doesn't want us to keep using up all his air." He briefly laughs at the last part even though no one else joined him except Mindy.
Kodak chuckles and says, "Don't worry, we've got some really advanced air recyclers."
Jim says, "We know…" Tim says, "Because we invented them!"
Ron smiles and says, "Really? You two never cease to surprise me!"
Kim jabs Ron for a second and says, "Ron, they put the same thing in the Sloth car with the aquatic mode."
Ron rubs the spot she had jabbed him before he says, "Oh! Heh, sorry Kim… I guess I forgot."
Kim pulls him closer, feeling bad now that she'd jabbed him and kisses his cheek before she says, "That's ok Ron."
Cindy looks at Jesse for a second as she thinks, "Jesse, I wish I could kiss you like that…" before looking away and says, "Uncle Jim? Uncle Tim? Are you sure the rocket will be able to hold all of us?"
The older twins turn towards Cindy and look at her with a puzzling look before Jim says, "Of course Cindy! Our Rocket…" Tim says, "was specially made with the family in mind."
Ron rubs his hands together and says, "Well, I'm convinced. So, how fast does she go?"
Jim opens his mouth to answer but is interrupted by Kim as she says, "Ron, this is the tweebs we're talking about. I'm sure that it goes very fast but I want to go home. I miss my babies!"
Until that very moment, everyone had gotten so caught up in stopping the villains from destroying Team Tri Stoppable and taking over the planet Earth, that they'd all forgotten about the children left behind. The silence that followed could have filled the space between Earth and the Moon.
Cindy says, "Oh, I'm sorry Mother…" Mindy says, "we had totally forgotten…" Cindy says, "about our siblings on Earth… " before they say in perfect sync, "Can you ever forgive us?" with even Jesse somehow joining in at the same time.
Kim was used to twin stereo, but Jesse and her daughters in 3D? That was a bit of a shock for her. She didn't know quite how to answer as a part of her mind wonders about the implications of Jesse being in such sync with her two daughters.
Ron stepped in to save his wife and says, "Now, now… there is nothing to forgive girls, and Jesse. All of have been running from one moment to the next or for our lives, so it is perfectly understandable to forget." He looks at Kim and sees the look of surprise on Kim's face switch over to a look he knew that would get him trouble of the good kind later on.
Mindy says, "But Father…" until Kim steps forward and says, "No, he is right. We've all been so busy running that even I forgot about the others on Earth for a little while. It wasn't until we almost lost Sheila that I was reminded with a cold slap to the face just how important family is."
Kim wraps her arms around Ron and says, "I couldn't say anything because that would have just distracted all of you and besides… when was there ever any time?" She smiles as she lets her eyes go over the ones precious to her in the very room. She even remembers parts of their past for a moment as her eyes went over the tweebs, her twin daughters, Yori, Jesse, and even the one who once was her enemy, Shego.
Kim nods as she continues to smile, "Don't get me wrong, as much as I worried about my children back on Earth. I still had to take of the family and dear friends or I'd never be able to look into their eyes and tell them I had truly done everything possible to bring everyone back home safely. I am glad I choose to come, and thank you all for helping me as well."
The green skinned woman, who in a former life was once known as Shego, the toughest and most evil woman of her time walks up to Kim and says, "Thanks Princess, glad I can still have an impact on you after all these years." She then makes a dodge and throws a fake punch, getting Kim to react right away before Kim can realize that Shego was just playing.
She says, "Thanks Kim, I mean it…" and then she turns and walks over to where Jesse and the twin girls are before she says, "I feel like we're all family here too." And stretches her arms out to encompass both girls and Jesse.
Jesse looks with puzzlement at his mother and Kim Stoppable as he tries to figure out what is going on and why they were both smiling. His mother didn't smile all that often in public so it was a bit creepy and unnerving to see her doing it right then. He could see that his two best friends were a little weirded out as well but he felt even more uncomfortable as they tried to scoot towards him, causing him to feel… pressured in ways he didn't think he should be thinking of his best friends without wanting to be killed.
Yori says, "Shall we go home my friends? I still have a secret ninja school to get back to and the two villains are still out there on Earth. Who knows what they may be planning?"
A pair of flaming hands that suddenly erupt cause Cindy and Mindy to press that much closer to Jesse, causing him to close his eyes as he thinks, "Best friends… best friends… best friends… I want to live… I want to live…" before his mother steps back and jumps over their heads to land in front of Yori.
Shego says, "A ninja school like yours must have lots of resources. Do you think you could help me find that Rat guy? He and I have some unfinished business…"
Jesse did not like the way his mother said that just right then but then realizes that the twins were still huddled up against him with their eyes closed. He says, "Um… CS? MS? My mother's not here… could I get some personal space?"
Mindy opens her eyes and gasps before she leaps back and says, "Sorry Jesse!" before she thinks, "I hope he doesn't find out about this! He would get so jealous!" Still, she had to admit that it felt really good to be so close to him, like it was one of the most natural things in the world.
Cindy opens her eyes and sees her twin jump back but she wasn't as eager to just jump away from Jesse. She knew she couldn't stay where she was so she compromises by stepping back but staying close but nothing could keep her from blushing bright red.
Cindy says as she tries to look at him, "Sorry Jesse, I…" before Jesse raises a hand and says, "Don't worry about it CS, I know it wasn't intentional. We're all best friends after all, right?"
Cindy thinks, "It was unintentional at first, but… Oh how, I wish I could tell you that I love you Jesse." She says, "Yeah, we're best friends…" She smiles in hopes to convince him that it was all totally innocent and is half-relieved when he seems to accept it and half-sad that he didn't see that she had enjoyed being so close to him.
Jim says, "C'mon everybody!" Tim says, "Wait until you see what…" Jim says, "The Shego-nader Mark I can do!"
Shego stops and says, "Wait! Back up! You named it after me?"
Tim smiles and nods, "Sure! You've been a part of our… " Jim says, "family's life for like forever and…" Jim says, "We wanted a tough name for our ship." Tim says, "So aside from the Kim-nader we already have. Yours was …" Jim says, "The next tough name we could think of!"
Shego walks over to the two guys that from all the horror stories she'd heard from Kim when they bonded during their pregnancies. She had to admit that this was perhaps the sweetest thing she could ever imagine them doing.
Shego puts out her flaming hands and grips them both in a hug before she says, "Thanks guys! That's probably one of the sweetest things anyone's ever done without asking me!" She steps back and playfully punches them both just hard enough to feel in the flight suits, "Just don't do it again or let my husband find out. He might get jealous and do something stupid."
Both Jim and Tim were well aware of Drew's ability to overreact to some things so they just both nod in agreement.
Shego turns to Jesse and says, "Don't go telling your father about this either young man!"
Jesse says, "Don't you worry! I know better than to mention something like this to him Mom!"
Shego grins and says, "Smart boy I've raised…" before she turns back to the Kim's younger brothers and says, "Now I want to hear all about what the ship can do and why you wanted a tough name of it as we head back home."
They both light up and say in stereo, "Sure! Wait until you hear what she's got!"
Kim grabs her husband while shaking her head before Ron says, "What is it KS?" She just smiles a little and says, "I feel sorry for her. The tweebs are going to talk her ear off about the rocket."
Ron chuckles and says, "Somehow, I think she won't mind. She is pretty smart, ya'know."
Kim softly chuckles as she smiles, "Yeah, I think you're right…" before the two of them head towards the rocket with Jim and Tim explaining some of the features that the rocket had in their usual twin speak which she somehow was keeping up with.
AN: Well everyone, I hope you liked this chapter. I wrote this after my frustration with Dish Network somehow showing the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie IN PLACE OF the Kim Possible "Big Brother" episode. I was SO tempted to have Shego go violent but decided not to go that route. Perhaps I'll vent it in the next chapter. Now for the questions…
Did you like the scene where Kodak wisely chose to take all the blame? Did I surprise any of you with Kim admitting that she wanted to home and check on the rest of the family? Did you like the way Jesse, Cindy and Mindy all spoke in stereo? I got the idea for that from the time Kim said "Boys! They're all tweebs!" which made me think of how even a non-related person could share the same kind of thought as twins. Did I surprise you with the rocket being named after Shego? Did you like the part where Jesse was being squished by his two best friends and his funny thoughts because of it?
What do you think will happen when they arrive back on Earth? The villains on Earth just may have a surprise for our two families and thus the action will most likely pick up once again! Twists and turns people! If you think you know what will happen next, just you wait! Grin!
