Kim Possible and the Ghostbusters!
AN: Here's another crossover that I thought might be fun. Kim Possible meets the Ghostbusters! This story takes place just shortly before Senior Graduation and thus not part of the Season 4's real ending even though it will use a great majority of Season 4.
Chapter 7: Surprises!
(Middleton)
The battle to escape the ghost zombies had been a somewhat intense one. The longer they all stayed, the more it seemed likely that they would be overrun by ghost zombies sooner or later.
Kim, Ron and Hana hopped into the Sloth car while Mrs. Possible hopped into the Ghostbusters car along with the shop owner. Even Bonnie was in the car while Egon continued to run tests on her.
Mrs. Possible says, "Can someone clue me in as to what's going on here? What is causing everyone to turn into a zombie?"
With Winston driving the car and Egon busy it was left to Ray and Peter to answer the question.
Ms. Trŷme says, "This is all my fault. I should have been there at the store when the latest shipment was delivered. All this might have been avoided then."
Ray says, "You can't know that. It might have still happened with or without you there."
Peter turns to Mrs. Possible and says, "Look beautiful, the short version of this story is that her store had been a huge storage place for ghosts that had been captured in the past and then a deliveryman accidentally freed them." He takes her hands since she was sitting across from him and says, "Don't worry though, "I'll protect you!"
Before Mrs. Possible can say anything to Peter's words Ms. Trŷme says, "Your daughter Kim was just amazing out there the way she took on all those ghost zombies."
Peter's eyes go wide as he says, "Her… daughter?"
Ms. Trŷme says, "Oh yes, Mrs. Possible's daughter with her knowledge of 16 styles of kung-fu has saved the city and the world more times than I can count." She looks at her and says, "How is your husband, is he still building those spaceships?"
Mrs. Possible smiles at her and says, "Oh, yes he's doing fine and I think he's about ready to mothball the spaceship that is going to a blackhole."
Ms. Trŷme laughs and says, "You mean the one he's always threatening to send the boys that Kim dates if they make her unhappy?"
Mrs. Possible looks right at Peter with a wicked twinkle in her eyes as she says, "Oh, I'm sure he's also made it big enough for a full sized adult should anyone be foolish enough to flirt with me."
Peter's hands couldn't fly fast enough away from Mrs. Possible's hands before he scooted over to the farthest corner of the car that he could from Mrs. Possible.
Ms. Trŷme turns to Mrs. Possible as she laughs at her and says, "Oh! I think your two mischievous sons would scare off anyone that would even think of trying anything so foolish as trying to flirt with you. I still remember the time they took a picture of your daughter and turned it into a screensaver."
Ms. Trŷme pauses and thinks for a second before she says, "You know, I had to get that computer helper that runs her website to uninstall it for me because I just don't know anything about computers other than basic operation."
Mrs. Possible touches her ring finger idly all the while knowing that she could feel Peter staring at her. The message was clear, "Next time, look for the ring before flirting."
Mrs. Possible says, "Well, you know my daughter couldn't have done it all by herself."
Ms. Trŷme says, "Oh yes, because she's got that computer kid who runs her site too."
Mrs. Possible frowns at the woman and says, "I was referring to her best friend and partner, Ron Stoppable."
Ms. Trŷme says, "Oh… yeah, he's that kid whose pants are always falling down."
Mrs. Possible sighs softly for a moment as she thinks, "I guess this is why Kimmie gets so frustrated even after all this time." She says, "He does more than that. He has stopped villains all by himself on more than one occasion."
Ms. Trŷme says, "I've read at the website how he's stepped up a little but don't you think he still has a ways to go before he's a true partner?"
Mrs. Possible frowns a bit and leans towards the woman as she says, "I think Ron is doing a very good job as her partner. He has already proved himself as a crime-fighting partner and he is doing a very good job as her boyfriend."
Ms. Trŷme says in bafflement, "They're dating? How long has that been now? A month?"
Mrs. Possible says, "A year now…" before she gets interrupted as Ms. Trŷme says, "A whole year? What's she doing? Stringing along the poor boy because he's her crime fighting partner?"
Mrs. Possible narrows her eyes at the woman in a cold glare that gave Peter shivers down his spine as he thinks, "It looks like she wants to send her into space…" She says, "They happen to be very much in love and I have hopes that they'll get married someday."
Ms. Trŷme gives Mrs. Possible a confused look before she says, "I know they're great crime fighting partners and dating each other, but marriage? Isn't that a little bit farfetched?"
Peter could see the cold fire building in Mrs. Possible's eyes much like the kind she'd given him for flirting but on a more different, dangerous level and knew from past experiences that you don't go upsetting mothers unless you want pain. He quickly says, "Ms. Trŷme we're here to talk about the ghosts from your store, not someone's love life. Just what can you tell us that you haven't already told us?"
Mrs. Possible realizes as she cools down just what Peter had done by intervening and nods at him softly in thanks. She had come pretty close to striking that woman for what she was beginning to see as badmouthing and more about her daughter and her taste in who she dated. She cared a lot for Ron as he had practically become part of the family and she hoped that one day he would become part of the family as believed that Ron was the perfect one for her.
Ms. Trŷme taps her chin in thought before something suddenly occurs to her, "There is a legend that I recall about one of our ghosts that we captured that might explain what's going on but…" She frowns in thought.
Suddenly Egon exclaims, "Fascinating!" making all heads turn towards where he was since he was examining Bonnie.
Peter says, "What is it Egon, do you have something?"
Egon says, "This girl here…" He is interrupted as Bonnie crosses her arms before her and says, "Hello! I have a name! It is Bonnie! Ugh… why do I always end up with losers hanging around me?"
Egon pushes his glasses up with a finger while Peter says, "Boy, if I were a ghost I wouldn't want to possess her either…" before Egon clears his throat and says, "If I may continue. After careful analysis with the limited equipment that I have in the car, I have come to the conclusion that Miss Bonnie here has two things going for her that made her be able to overcome the zombie ghost."
Peter says, "What is it Egon? Don't leave us hanging!"
Egon looks at Peter and says, "Well she has a natural resistance to all things supernatural apparently but even that goes so far. As for the rest…" He glances at Bonnie cross-ways before he continues to say, "I hate to mention this as it sounds unscientific but it appears that her strength of will or perhaps her personality is what made the change not stick. There appears to be little other explanation for what has happened to her."
Peter looks at Bonnie and says, "Maybe the ghosts just couldn't stand to be in her?" This makes her give him an angry look to which he just returns with his most dashing smile to ward off the angry look.
Ray says, "Whatever the reason is, she could prove to be useful if we can duplicate what it is."
Ms. Trŷme suddenly says, "It could be easier than that. I think that she can't be possessed because of her lineage."
Peter guffaws and says, "That couldn't be right. Egon! Tell the pretty lady that she's out of her mind." He waves his hand in the air as he says, "Go on…"
Egon says, "Actually, there could be something to that. Please tell us what you know about this er… young woman's lineage."
Ms. Trŷme says, "Well, as far as I know one of the things we had was given to us by a member of the Rockwaller family because the girls didn't seem to be too interested in serving as guardians to pass on to their children and they knew we would take care of it."
Bonnie defensively says, "Uh-uh! There's no WAY you're pinning that craziness out there on me!"
Peter says, "Ms. Boniputlan…" He is cut off as Bonnie shouts, "BONNIE! Get it right or don't say it!" He continues to say, "Is there any truth to what she said?"
Bonnie squirms a little by crossing her arms in front of her and then rolling her shoulders before she says, "Well…" She looks out the car window and sees more craziness going on which prompts her to say, "I suppose there could be an tiny ounce of truth to it. My sisters and I were asked to watch over this thing and pass it on to our children…" She quickly adds, "But it was just so ugly! I mean, I couldn't stand to look at it much less even think of passing it on to another generation."
Ray says, "Ugly? What was it? Was it really old?"
Bonnie throws up her hands and says, "Puh-lease! That thing was more ancient than this car! Plus it was totally, disgustingly ugly beyond belief. With something like that, I couldn't be expected to have such a thing in my room. I have a reputation to uphold as a cheerleader you know."
Mrs. Possible says, "What about your sisters? They all graduated a long time ago, surely they would be past such immature thinking."
Bonnie crosses her arms in front of her and says, "You might think that but with their glamorous careers, they have even less tolerance than I do for anything that ugly."
Peter says, "So because these girls couldn't get past something's butt-ugly looks, the whole world is doomed?" He gives Bonnie a sarcastic thumbs up as he says, "Great going, you've proven that fashion is more important than the safety of the world."
Bonnie frowns at Peter and says, "Whatever! How was I supposed to know that the shoplady wouldn't be able to take care of her junk?"
Ray says, "Wait a minute! Were you the one in charge of it?"
Bonnie turns her head so as not to look at Ray directly but she answers him by saying, "Yeah, some garbage about me being the 'chosen' guardian or some such crap. As if I want to guard anything, I have a cheerleading squad to try and lead to the nationals!"
Mrs. Possible says, "Excuse me? I believe my daughter, Kim is the one in charge of the squad. Not you."
Bonnie whips her head to look at Mrs. Possible, glowering at her with fury but the older Possible had seen far too much, faced too many things to feel even the slightest bit threatened by Bonnie's glare and both her body language and expression on her face told Bonnie that it was useless. She growls, "I could do a better job and she knows it."
Ray turns to Peter and says excitedly, "Do you realize what this means? That's the connection!"
Peter looks at his friend and fellow Ghostbuster as if he had lost his mind even though he knew he hadn't. There was always some sort of logical sense, albeit a crazy kid kind of way, that was behind Ray's line of thinking. He says calmly as he can, "Very good Ray, now perhaps you can be so kind as to explain it for those in the car that don't live in the land of insane rationality?"
Ray slaps Peter aside the shoulder and says, "But Peter! It makes perfect sense now why she couldn't be taken over! She is the key!" He sees that Peter isn't getting it and says, "Remember the Gatekeeper and Keymaster for Gozer? She is the one that can help fix things!"
Peter did not like the memories of that time as his girlfriend had been possessed and turned into a hideous dog-like creature at the time. He bitterly says, "Yes Ray, I remember."
Egon pushes his glasses up his nose as he blandly says, "Or help make things worse. As I recall the role of the two was essentially to help release Gozer into our world. If this young girl is one-half of a pair like back then, it stands to reason that there is another in this world who is the counterpart for her."
Peter says, "Oh just great… all we need is another Pecker out there and we'll be right back where we started."
Silence fell in the car for the Ghostbusters as they all knew that they'd just barely survived that encounter.
Bonnie says loudly, "Whatever! Let Possible handle it! She's used to fighting and saving the world. Just drop me off so I can go home and put this whole ugly matter behind me!"
Peter mockingly says to Bonnie as he looks out the window, "Oh yeah sure… like that is so going to happen. We're just going to drop you off so you can face a huge army of zombie-ghosts all by your lonesome." He can see that Bonnie wasn't entirely convinced so he continues in his best mocking voice, "I know! We'll just forget that they are growing in strength and will probably take over the whole world, leaving just you alone to remain as the only unaffected person alive until you starve from lack of food or get eaten and/or possessed for sure by them."
Bonnie frowns and just stares angrily at Peter in silence for the longest time before she lets out a heavy sigh and says, "Fine! I guess I can help Possible this one time but she will owe me big for this!"
Peter smiles as he had won that one against her until Ray says to Egon, "So Egon, what do you think we should do from here?" Making it all come crashing down to him that the situation was far from better just yet.
AN: Well everyone I know that it has been like a gazillion years since I have updated this story but don't worry, I will write more chapters… eventually. I am recently freed from a very busy schedule so I should have more time for writing. The plan is to eventually finish my current idling stories before posting some of my new ones that I have on the backburner. Now for the questions. What did you think of Mrs. Possible in this chapter? Did you all like the smooth way she dealt with Peter? Or the way she withstood Bonnie's furious look? What did you think of Ms. Trŷme for this chapter? She sure came close to unleashing a mother's fury didn't she? Did you like the little warring that Peter and Bonnie had going on in the Ecto-1 car? Do you think the world is in good hands or bad hands with Bonnie's increased significance for the story? How do you think Kim and Ron will react when they learn this? If there IS a Keymaster for Bonnie, who do you think it could be? Do you want to see more of this story?
As usual all reviews, ideas, fan-suggestions, questions, votes, and more are always welcome.
