His name is Eric
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-
The next day at Middleton high and Kim was still feeling down about Drakken getting away from her. It was now lunch brake and Kim was placing some books in her locker. As she closed the door however she watched as Terra and her BF walked past Terra clutching onto his arm as if it were a life line. Kim then looked the opposite direction as she heard Tasha.
"Oh Brick you are going to look soooo hansom in your tux!" As those two walked off Kim sighed to herself as she continued to mope at her BFless world, until Sheila and Yori approached.
"Hey Kim, you ready for lunch?" Sheila asked as Yori noticed Kim being down.
"Are you still upset about losing Drakken?" She asked as Kim shook her head.
"Oh no Yori I'm used to it, we'll get them next time let's just go get some lunch and..." Kim paused as she took a quick look around. "...say where are X and Ron?" To that the two girls simply sighed as Kim slapped her forehead already figuring it out. "Their not!?".
"They were, and on the roof of the school X and Ron exchanged blows in mid-air before landing back down and breathing heavy while smirking to one another.
"When are you going to get serious X?" Ron demanded as he took up a fight similar to the ninja Rock Lee as X stood up and dusted his coat off.
"When you stop hitting like a girl!" X joked in retaliation.
"Well I'm only hitting as hard as you bro!" Ron replied, however wasted no time for more bantha as he shot a snake from his sleeve right towards X who was fast enough to leap out the way however as X was in mid-air Ron met him and dealt a punch strong enough to knock X off the rooftop.
X spun round and landed feet first in the school car park before glaring up at Ron.
"That was sneaky Ron Mitarashi!" He shouted as Ron leaped down to meet him.
"Errr dude, we ARE ninja?" Ron replied as X opened his mouth getting ready to argue until he realized Ron had a point.
"Touche Ron" With that the two let out a hardy laugh, until they realised there was a motorbike engine purring in the background of their conversation. The two turned to see a red motorbike with a young man on top wearing a Yellow helmet, a green and white striped shirts with a pair of jeans.
"Did you two just jump off that roof?" The young rider asked as the two ninja looked nervous until Ron replied.
"Errr, yeah but we are students with the err stuntman club!" Ron's lie caused X to snap his head towards him in confusion. But the young man seem to buy it.
"Oh so you guys are students here?" The two simply nodded.
"Errr yeah, my names Ron..." Ron replied as he shook the mans hand before X did and introduced himself.
"...Yeah and I'm Rasuto" X replied assuming giving his other name would sound a bit odd. After shaking their hands the boy removed his helmet to reveal his slick back brown hair and brown hair.
"Hi my names Eric, I'm new here you think you guys could show me around?" As soon as Eric had asked that did a young female voice shout over.
"HEY ERIC WHAT ABOUT US!?" The three boys looked over to see two twin girls around 10 years old wearing matching out fits of a navy like top and shorts that went down to their knees as a pair of black socks came upto to thier knees and they wore some sneakers. The only difference was one of the girls tops was white with black shorts and the other was wearing a black top and white shorts. Eric seemed to slap his forehead in embarrassment.
"Sorry you two, Ron, Rasuto. These are my twin sisters. They were moved up to our grade cause they are apparently 'geniuses" The girls didn't like that comment.
"What do you mean apparently!? We ARE I'm Quinn..." Said the one in the white top with long Red hair and red eyes.
"...and I Lynn" Finished the one in the black top who had long Blue hair and bue eyes. The two girls soon set their eyes on X they grinned slyly to each other. Suddenly and without warning Quinn appeared on by X's right arm and hugged it with all her might.
"Say your cute Rasuto..." She was cut off however as Lynn hugged X's left arm.
"...Yeah Quinn and I like 'cute' guys" Ron could see where this was going and wanted nothing to do with it.
"Ok X well I'll go show Eric around and YOU can show those two around" Ron wasted no time getting out of there with Eric close behind. Ron did quickly look back as the two girls starting rubbing their faces on X's shoulders as if they were kittens and X game him a look that just screamed 'I'm going to get you for this Ron!'
Ron thought it would be best to go to the cafeteria seeing as it was Lunch and he was due to meet Kim and the others anyway. The two entered and Ron seem to display the room with his hands.
"Ok so here we have the cafeteria, they claim you can find good food here, I haven't but you might get lucky" Eric smiled as Ron joked about the food and the two grabbed a tray and joined the cue. Just as the two were about to get some food Eric eyed his eyes upon Kim Possible and became enchanted by her.
"Woah, who's is that?" Ron looked over and saw Kim but also saw the cafeteria lady and assumed Eric was taking about her.
"Oh that is just the lunch lady. Trust me you can NOT get her fired." To that Eric simply pushed past him and continue to stare toward the Red head.
"No not her the girl" It was then Ron realized it was Kim he was referring to.
"Oh that's Kim...Kim Possible"
"Heh, weird name..." Eric joked as Ron joined him.
"You've never heard of Kim Possible!? She saves the world all the time, I help her out sometimes too" Eric seemed to like the idea of knowing Ron was friends with this girl.
"You know her?" He asked.
"Yeah we're tight..." Eric then asked something odd.
"...hooked up?" Ron seem to shudder at the idea as Kim had sat at the table along with Yori, Sheila and Monique.
"Well no my girl is the one with long black hair..." Ron corrected as he aimed Eric's vision towards Sheila. "...but no Kim is just..." Eric was ready to finish his sentence.
"....extreme steam" He said with a sly grin on his face to which Ron almost seem to get offended by.
"Ok let's never talk about her like that again ok? ok" As Ron walked off to collect his dinner Eric replied.
"Whatever's clever" With that the two got their dinner and continued to the table where Ron spoke.
"Hello Ladies" Ron said as he took a seat next to Sheila who kissed him on the cheek. At first Kim simply continued eating as she replied.
"Oh hey Ron you and X enjoy your...." Kim paused however as she looked up and saw Eric smiling down at her all Kim could do was smile nervously. "...hi" She said as she stared dreamily into his eyes as he returned the gaze as he took a seat next to Kim.
"Yo my name is Eric..." Before Eric could go on Monique leaned over towards Kim.
"Girl I just went from so to woah!" Eric rose an eyebrow to that statement.
"What?" Kim laughed nervously.
"Trust me it takes a while to understand Monique" Eric then smiled sly to Kim.
"What about you?" Kim began to wrap her hair around her finger.
"Wh...what about me...." Kim soon stopped when she noticed someone was missing. "...hey wait, Ron if you're here where is X?" Eris was once again confused.
"X?" Ron was all ready to step in.
"Oh she means Rasuto, we like to call him X"
"Oh I see well he is showing my twin sisters around..." Just as Eric said that X came bursting though screaming as he ran.
"AND THIS IS THE CAFETERIA!!" X was followed closly by Quinn and Lynn.
"Oh come on Rasuto!!" Shouted Quinn.
"Show us round like proper ladies!" Continued Lynn. As everyone watched the display Yori seemed to have a vain bulge on her head. Eric laughed and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"Yeah sorry about that, my sisters are only 10 but they were moved up to our year for being smart. And when those two find a guy they think is cute...heaven help him" With that Yori rose from her seat.
"I'd better go help X!" And with that Yori headed out to assist X. With that Kim turned back to Eric.
"Wow I can't believe you have younger twins who are smart too. Have yours started building rockets yet?" Kim asked only to have Eric laugh.
"Nah my sisters hate rockets although they do draw up schematics" That allowed Kim to let out her own chuckle.
"Yeah maybe we should hook them up" That only caused Eric to look towards the door his sisters had just ran through in following X.
"I think they have found their 'target" As Eric said that X's voice could be faintly heard screaming.
"And this is the gym!" As Kim and Eric had a good laugh about that. Ron then looked at Sheila.
"Sheila you want to get out of here and go to Bueno Nacho?" Sheila looked at Ron almost in shock.
"But Ron we'll miss class!" Ron tilted his head in confusion.
"Sheila....we don't attend school here" Ron replied as She looked back at him sheepish.
"Oh yeah" With that the two headed for the door as Ron turned back to Kim.
"Well we are heading to Bueno Nacho see you guys later" Kim and Eric barely even noticed them leaving they did however quickly turned to Ron and said in unison.
"Later Ron" Saying that Eric quickly turned to Kim.
"Jinx you owe me a soda!" Kim giggled and Ron and Sheila left the couple to continue with their flirting.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-
Later that day and Ron and Sheila were still at Bueno Nacho and Sheila was in the middle of being pleased for Kim.
"....but yeah I knew Kim would find a guy and that Eric seems nice. Looks like Kim WILL have a date for prom" That simlpy caused Ron who was sat next to her to cross his arms and look out the window.
"Yeah, quite 'convineiant" That statement confused Sheila.
"You sound suspicious of something?" Ron soon turned back to Sheila.
"Yeah well it just seems TOO perfect, Kim is upset about not having a BF and all of a sudden this 'perfect' guy appears in her life. Who has twin sisters who as far as I can tell bare no family resemblence to him in any way" Sheila began to see Ron's point in this matter.
"You think something wierd is going down?" Ron nodded as he rubbed his chin.
"Yeah I think we need to keep an eye on him...." Ron was interrupted however when Ned of Bueno Nacho took a seat opposite from them and looked very down. Ron simply rose an eyebrow when he noticed something off about Ned. "...dude your clip-on tie..."
"Clipped off!" Ned added.
"But I thought you were assistance manager?" Ron asked.
"Not anymore. Larz is in charge!" Ned replied pointing towards the counter as a very large built bald headed man was tracing his finger along the counter checking for dust. "The new owners sent him in" Ned finished as Ron looked back to him.
"Owners...What new owners?" Sheila asked as Ned sighed.
"Someone has bought the entire franchise it is un real. They are the reason that deal got taken down the other day. And if that isn't bad enough they are going to start doing kiddie meals and giving away TOYS! Can you imagine the brat factor! I even have one of the toys here..." Ned said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small toy in the shape of a robotic devil. "...we are releasing them next week and I'm going to up to me head in little kids" Sheila then noticed something odd about the devils.
"This looks like something Nakasumi designed"
"Who?" Ron asked as he tilted his head.
"The guy in Japan we help Kim save from Drakken, the toy designer, you had a fight with X on his plane!" Sheila said getting impatiant.
"Oh that guy. Hmmmm" Ron thought to himself some more before raising from his chair. "Sheila I'm going to go look into something, I want you to keep an eye on Eric ok?" To that Sheila nodded and Ron left to investingate whatever theory was playing in his head.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The week after seem to past so quickly and so did the rate of Kim's relation ship with new boy Eric. Eric would come and give her rides to school on his motorbike and the only doing any work it seemed was Sheila who had kept a keen eye from a distance, Ron was nowhere to be found still with his mysterious investigation and all X's spare time was taken up by Quinn and Lynn who insisted on hanging out with him and Yori was busy keeping her eye on him.
It was now Friday however and Kim had invited everyone including Eric over to her house for pizza and Jim and Tim were enjoying the tourment of their sister as Jim screamed into a mega phone.
"Warning you are now in a Cootie infested zone because...." It was then did Tim join in.
"KIMS GOT A BOYFRIEND!!"
While Sheila and Yori were helping Mrs Possible set the dinner table Kim was showing Eric some old photos of her unti Eric found one he liked.
"Oooo, you with pigtails" He smiled as Kim nudged him slightly while turning a pale Red.
"Shut up..." Kim then turned her attention to Mrs Possible "...Mom when is Dad going to be home?" She asked only to notice her Mother had already picked up the phone.
"I'm calling him now...."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile at the Middleton Science Labs one Dr James Possible was working late again on somethin called the Hephaestus Project when suddenly the phone rang and it was James' Wife calling.
"Hi honey....oh pizza sounds great.... I'll have Bacon on mine please....I'll be home soon oh and don't let the boys reheat my pizza, not after last time" After saying their goodbyes Dr Possible hung up the phone and went back to the stethoscope. "Come on now give me some metal reproduction...." Mr Possible pleaded as the metal under his scope twitched and flickered before it indeed expanded. Mr Possible cheered.
"Yes! The Hephaestus project is a complete success who's the man!?" Before Dr Possible could continue celebrating he felt a pair of hands land firmly on his shoulders. James looked up only to find a large built ninja staring down at him. As James turned his chair around a figure walked out the shadows that James recognized instantly. Drakken.
"I'm the man, the man who wants that project!" James smiled as Drakken's face was only an inch away from his own.
"My teenage daugther isn't afraid of you, why should I....Drew!" James retaliated using Drakken's real name as he remembered from college. Drakken snarled.
"I hate it when you call me that I'm NOT the man you knew in college!"
"Still can't get a date though?" James smiled.
"Why is it every Possible I capture gives me lip!? There is NO respect between capture and captor..." Drakken complained as Mr Possible interrupted.
"...I hate to interupt your rant but I'm telling you anything about the project!!" To that Drakken simply smirked.
"Oh I anticipated that and you know what they say, if you want to make an Omelet you have to break a few egg heads!" James gulped nervously as the sumo ninja cracked his fists together. Dr Possible wasted no time reaching for his PDA.
"If you'll excuse me for a moment..." James Possible waited no time grabbing his stylus and tapping a few keys on his PDA as the computer voice double checked the command.
"Do you wish to delete file named Hephaestus?"
"Yes please" James said politly as the computer continued.
"Dr Possible voice confirmed....file deleted" Much to Drakkens dismay.
"Yo...you deleted it?" James simply smirked as he pointed to his skull.
"Don't worry, got it ALL up here" That news seemed to bring a smirk to Drakkens face.
"Well that is good. Because I just happen to have a brain tap machine and I have been just dying to use it!"
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-
Meanwhile back at the Possible home and Kim, Eric, Sheila and Yori along with Mrs Possible and Jim and Tim. Kim and Eric had been in their own world of flirting and feeding each other slices of pizza eventually Mrs Possible asked.
"By the way where are X and Ron they are missing out on Pizza night?" Sheila and Yori simply sighed as Kim looked up.
"Those two are probably off sparring somewhere...." Before Kim could continue though the Kimunicator beeped away "...hey Wade what's the..." Wade did not give Kim chance to finish her catchphrase.
"KIM WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile at back at Middleton high X and Ron were breathing heavy after an intense sparring session on the baseball field. Since it was night the field was abandoned and Ron walked alongside X.
"Not bad X, there were times I was about to mistake you you an actual enemy" X joined Ron in a laugh before Ron continued. "So about what I said, about Eric" To that X straightened up.
"I think you might be right..." X was soon interupted however when a phone rang in Ron's pocket.
"Hello....Ok we are on are way!" As Ron hung up he turned to X "We got to move it is an emergency!"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________---
X and Ron had arrived at Kims home and as soon as Ron had knocked on the front door Kim had answered and placed her hand on Ron's shoulder and pleaded.
"DRAKKEN'S GOT MY DAD!"
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later that night and Kim, Ron, X, Sheila and Yori were all sneaky through a corridor of Drakken's latest lair as Kim mentioned.
"I don't like this it feels too..." Ron and X both finished Kim's sentence in unison.
"Trapish?" Kim simply sighed.
"Not a word, but yes" The gang were taken by surprise as the floor beneath them vanished and the ninja were free falling for a few moments until they landed in a huge room as Drakken seemed to appear behind them.
"Greetings Kim Possible and your little gang of ninja!" Kim wasted no time leaping towards Drakken only to find herself falling through the image to discover it was a hologram. "Oh Kim Possible you will do well to save your strength your father is in quite the pickle!" Drakken said as he guided Kims vision to see her dad hanging over a giant water tank that had tentecles slithering out of it. Kim was about to rescue him when out of the floor rose a tall figure in a red and black body suit and mask. Kim quickly knocked the figure down but more rose from the ground as Drakken continued.
"And I warn you..." Drakken paused as a gaint laser also rose from the ground "...my death ray is 'killer!" It was then Yori said.
"Isn't that redundant?" Before her question could get answered the laser started firing and the henchmen started attacking.
Ron and Sheila went about fighting the larges figures as X began deflected the blasts from the death ray, Ron had knocked away one of the large men until another appeared. Ron wasted no time pulling out his Raikiri Blade and sliced through it's chest causing a green goo to pour out onto the floor. Sheila recognized this instantly.
"Syntho droids!? dammit"
Kim and Yori ran over towards the tank. Kim leaped up onto the tank and grabbed her Father however the squid tentacle quickly grabbed both Kim and Dr Possible. Yori rushed over and placed her hands together as she said.
"For you to hide in in the water against me was NOT a smart move!" Just then Yori preformed a quick routine of hand seals.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" (Water Style, Water Dragon Jutsu) To her words the water in the tank twisted and shifted until a huge Dragon of water erupted from the tank before crashing down right on top of the squid. To it's defeat the squid dropped Kim and James Possible.
They were soon joined by Ron, Sheila and X who had dealt with the Sytho droids and and Death Ray. After seeing everyone was ok Kim turned to her Dad.
"Dad are you ok?" Dr Possible rubbed his head and stared at her blankly.
"I....I think so, I don't really remember much"
"Do you know what Drakken wanted?Ron asked only to have James shake his head.
"No, I remember wanting Bacon on my pizza then nothing" Kim gulped nervously.
"Ok dad I think we should just get you home" And with that the gang quickly returned home and Kim could not help but think how easy it was saving her Father....maybe too easy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In Japan and Mr Nakasumi had decided to take a stroll out on the local high street until he walked past the Bueno Nacho store that was placed there. Nakasumi was not one for Mexican food but it was the large image of the latest Kiddie meal toy that caught his attention.
"That is MY character!" The great toy designer said to himself as he rushed to the doors only to have them swing open in front of him before a gang of kids holding the small robotic devil came charging out. After giving Nakasumi a bow they continued as Nakasumi screamed to the heavens.
"THAT IS MY CHARACTER!"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later in the night and the group had arrived back from their mission only to be greeted by Eric who had insisted on staying at the Possible home waiting for Kim to return. After reuniting Mr and Mrs Possible together Eric asked Kim to go for a walk and the two were now turning a street corner with nothing but a nearby street lamp and moon the illuminate them.
"I still can't believe you jumped in a tank with a giant squid to save your father." Kim simply blushed.
"It was no big" She stopped when Eric seemed to look more serious.
"But Kim this whole 'saving the world' thing I think it is kinda...."
"....Strange?" Kim continued assuming that is what Eric thought only to be surprised.
"No....COOL!" Eric said with a large cheerful smile. Kim smiled back to that as Eric began rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Look I know I've only been going to Middleton high for like a week but I was wondering if you would be my date to the prom?" Kim was caught off guard by that but Kim thought to herself. She did like Eric a lot and the two had a lot in common. Maybe Eric was....the one? Kim took a deep breath and then answered.
"O...ok"
To Be Continued...
