Chapter 2: Stoppable Self-Esteem:

Back at the museum, Monty ''Monkey Fist'' Fiske was pacing back-and-forth, cackling to himself.

Bill, a one-eyed triangular demon, let out an evil laugh of his own.

''Once those gullible teenagers get here and help you build that time machine, I SHALL have vengeance on those Pines twins!'' he shouted.

''We shall then defeat Kim Possible and that sidekick with the Mystical Monkey Powers that rightfully belonged to ME!'' Monty added before breaking into maniacal laughter.

Infamous teen hero Kim Possible and her sidekick/boyfriend Ron Stoppable were walking down the halls of Middleton High when they bumped into no-villainous-enemy Bonnie Rockweller, who happened to be in the same cheer squad as Kim. ''Ugh, Kim! You're seriously still with that buffoon?!'' Bonnie snipped. ''Nice to see you too, Bonnie!'' Kim sarcastically answered. ''How long was it since he last lost his pants?'' Bonnie asked. ''Don't you have anywhere better to be?'' Kim asked back. ''And what help is he on your little missions? He's just a sidekick!''

Those words hit Ron quite hard. She has a point he thought. I'm a sidekick. A distraction…..

After Bonnie left, the Kimmunicator beeped.

''What's the sitch Wade?'' Kim asked her friend and computer genius who graduated high school and collage within 8 months. Pretty impressive for a 10 year old, right?!

''A mysterious demon has freed Monkey Fist from his stone curse'' Wade informed Kim. ''He then went back under the name of Lord Monty Fiske and tricked a job-seeking teen and her friends into going over to the museum tonight to help recreate a time machine''

''Who are these teens?'' Kim asked.

''Glad you asked'' Wade said. ''First is Trish De La Rosa. She gets new jobs every day so her resume is huge.'' ''Next is her best friend Ally Dawson. Honor student. Songwriter and upcoming singer.'' ''Austin Moon. Already famous singer'' ''Last is Dez Perado. He may appear buffoonish but he's surprisingly good with technology. Not as good as me though'' He added with a nervous laugh.

''Do you have any info on the mysterious demon that freed him?'' Kim asked.

''Not yet but I'll keep you posted'' Wade said before signing off

''Ron we gotta help them! Ron?''

Ron was walking down another end of the corridor, head down, deeply hurt by Bonnie's harsh words….
