The Chipmunk Tour Saga Closing Ceremony Special
Chapter 4:
"Kim's Memory"
Featuring a deleted scene from Book II: "Sitch & Sensibility"
The curtains at the far end of the "Iron Road" red carpet parted, revealing a young auburn-haired woman. Kim Stoppable smiled as she shook William's outstretched hand, then sat in the chair Kelsi had just vacated.
William: Hello, Kim. It's a pleasure.
Kim: Why, thank you, William. You know, I glanced over your portfolio in preparing for
this interview. I'd have to say you've really changed a lot since A Goofy Wedding. But, why
haven't you done a straight story about me?
W: Well, Kim, I feel comfortable doing cross-overs. But, if I think up a good KP-only story, I'll put
it down, don't worry. So, what is your most memorable story of life on the tour?
K: Well, it'd have to be when Ron and I were told of how we were going to replace Max and Roxanne
as Toon Force Power Rangers. If you'll remember, I was the Toon Force Zeo Warrior for a short time
before I split the Zeo Crystal's power to the people who would become Studio Ghibli Sentai
Ohranger. Well, Ron and I had a discussion about the impact on our lives that being Rangers
would bring.
Ron and Kim were eating lunch when the door chime of their quarters on the Astro Megaship rang. "Who is it?" Ron asked. "It's Alvin," the voice on the other side said. "Come in, Alvin," Kim said.
The doors slid open, revealing Alvin. "Ron, Kim, I need to tell you something," Alvin said. "As you know, Max and Rosanne Goof recently had to resign as Toon Force Power Rangers." "Well, yeah, we know," Ron said. "Wasn't it because Roxanne got pregnant?" Kim asked.
"Exactly," Alvin said. "They have personally selected you to succeed them." Ron spat out his soda in shock and surprise. "As Power Rangers?!?" "As Power Rangers," Alvin confirmed. "I'll leave you to discuss this amongst yourselves. If you wish to accept this honor, please join us in the Power Vault in fifteen minutes."
Alvin stood and left Ron and Kim's room. Ron turned to Kim. "Kim, I don't know what we have done to deserve being Power Rangers," he said.
"Well, obviously, Ron, Max and Roxanne must have seen something in us to choose us to replace them," Kim said.
"But, Kim, someday we might think about starting a family of our own," Ron said. "We'll probably end up having to relinquish our powers, just as Max and Roxanne are having to do." "If that comes to pass, we'll be ready," Kim said.
"So, are we going to do this?" Kim asked. "At the very least, let me walk you to the Power Vault." "Okay, Ron," Kim said.
K: It was during the transfer ceremony that Ron had his telepathic contact with Master Sensei of Yama-
nouchi, who encouraged him to become the Green Ranger. The rest, as they say, is history.
W: I see, Kim. Listen, Kim, before you go, I have something to give you.
William reached under the theme ingredient elevator table and pulled out a small, silver box. Kim opened it, revealing two flower-shaped earrings with pink crystals and silver mounting.
K: These (the earrings) are beautiful. They look like Hermione Granger's earrings from the Yule Ball in
the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie.
W: I bought them from a catalog, but I actually have no use for them. Give them to your son to give to
his girlfriend the night of his senior prom.
Kim closed the case, then put it in the pocket of her pants.
K: I will, William. Thanks. Wait a minute. Ron and I...
Suddenly, a ringing sound could be heard in the stadium. Kim reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
K: Hello?
Dr. Sidney: Hello, Mrs. Stoppable. This is Dr. Sidney. How are you today?
K: I'm fine. What's the sitch?
Dr. S: The sitch, as you say, is this. The results of your last physical came in. Congratulations, Mom.
K: M... "Mom?!?"
Kim fell limp to the floor of Kitchen Stadium. William stood from his chair and ran to where Kim had fallen. "Medic!" he yelled. Simon and Theodore pushed a gurney up to where Kim had fallen, then helped Kim onto the gurney.
"Max, exit! Prepare the med bay for an incoming casualty!" William yelled. "Compliance," Max said. The exit doors appeared and opened. Ron followed William, Simon, Theodore and Kim's gurney off of the Holosuite.
Alvin stepped up to the lectern as Mikela Barnes asked, "Alvin, what's going on? Is Kim going to be okay?"
"I'm sure William will tell us what's up momentarily," Alvin said.
After Kim came to, William looked at Kim. "Kim, what's wrong?" he asked. "I'm all right," Kim said. "I'm just a little pregnant."
Ron looked at Kim. "P—P—Pregnant?!" he stammered before fainting himself. "Thank God we're already in the med bay," William said. "Simon, Theodore, let's get back to the Holosuite. We've still got more interviewing to do." William said.
Back in the Holosuite, William took the lectern from Alvin. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Chipmunk Tour Saga, I have some good news," he said. "Kim Stoppable is pregnant, although we do not know the gender yet. Actually, I do know; I'm just not telling. Now, who's next?"
The curtains at the far end of the "Iron Road" red carpet parted, revealing...
