Chapter Three
Mr. and Mrs. Possible looked at each other then at Kim. She was reliving the past again, it was not a thing they wished her to experience. “Kim...Kim...calm...we know.” Anne Possible said trying to settle her daughter.
Kim remembered that day like it was yesterday but it was a different time, they were younger and very naïve.
It was a day like any other, the Kimunicator went off; Drakken again was up to his old tricks. They broke into his lair through the sky light and lowered themselves in. However Ron got tangled up in his ropes to Kim’s disappointment.
“Ron!”
“I know Kim, go ahead without me I’ll catch up.”
Kim sighed, she lowered herself down into the large room, it seemed deserted until the lights came on flooding the area with bright cascading white radiance.
“So Kim Possible you thought you could sneak in on me!” Drakken announced.
Kim sighed, “Drakken you know better.” She replied.
“Hello Kimmie.” Shego waved from the side of her nemesis.
“Hello Shego.” Kim said sighing she really didn’t feel like fighting today. She watched as the green woman jumped down from a higher platform; to face her.
Shego put up her hand and moved her fingers in sync to motion Kim forward. “I’m ready Kim.”
Kim put up her fists and ran at Shego, she needed to get her out of the way before she could stop Dr. Drakken. Kim launched herself at Shego and grabbed Shego’s arms, then she flipped over her head. It caused Shego to loose her balance and she fell backward, Kim being an expert in gymnastics then shifted her weight allowing her to land on her feet. She turned quickly and punched Shego in the gut.
Shego doubled over in pain as she stumbled back. “Ow. That hurt red!” Shego shot one of her green bolts Kim’s way but her aim was way off.
“Give it up Drakken I’m not in the mood.” She didn’t get to finish as Shego reciprocated the punch she just got. Kim flew backward into a bunch of machinery. As she stood she saw beside her what looked like a gun of sorts, on a pedestal. It wasn’t really big but she thought she might be able to take out the big machine in the middle of the room with it. That’s when things began to move in slow motion. She took her position behind the weapon. She heard Drakken in the back of her mind shouting “Nooooo!” her finger touched the trigger and gun went off. A beam of energy erupted from the muzzle of the gun, it kicked back and she struggled to get the weapon under control. The beam surged upwards and towards....towards Ron!!!!
“RONNNNNNNN!!!” She screamed....but it was too late.
Kim felt herself being shook, “Kim ..Kim honey.” Her teary eyes began to focus on her Mother, “Mom...Mom ...I killed Ron.” She sobbed.
“Its ok honey we’re here...we’re here.” She hugged her tight, she knew it was hard for her; even after nine years it still was a horrible memory.
Kim began to shake uncontrollably, “I...I... cut Ron in two...I...didn’t mean for it to happen...I tried so hard to stop it...” Her sobbing got worse.
James Possible got up and rubbed his wife’s shoulders, “We’ll continue this another time, when she feels up to it. Take care of her.” He left the kitchen letting his wife do what she did best, mother her child. He knew his presence wasn’t needed; it was for the best that he not be there.
Kim didn’t feel like talking about anything really for the rest of the night, their conversation would have to wait till the next morning.
In the morning Kim felt refreshed she knew her mother and father had something really important to talk with her about and she needed to listen; not fall apart reminiscing of the past.
They all sat in the living room, Kim felt a little more comfortable there.
Mr. and Mrs. Possible felt saddened that Kim had gotten so upset. “We’re sorry Kim.” Anne said softly still thinking of her daughters sobs.
“Its ok, I have bouts like that all the time; they come and go. That memory will never go away, although I had thought even after all this time it would soften some.” There was another thing she did have that always reminded her of Ron. It was a tattoo on her right wrist, it was about an inch thick displaying delicate vines intertwining. On the top side in among the intricate leaves she had the artist inscribe with the vines Ron’s name. It was a symbol that she had wanted, it was a constant reminder of him.
James Possible smiled, she was a trooper, “Well to go on with our tale, this spirit that visited us said it might be possible to save Ron.” He saw his daughters face turn to one of question. “We didn’t understand either. The spirit left us shaking our heads wondering if we had seen him or not.”
Anne spoke up, “Well the next few days were a blur even to us but in essence you know what transpired in court; here outside was another matter. The Stopable’s not only blamed you but us as well for Ron’s untimely death. With Drew Lypskee presenting the suspended animated corpse of Ron and pressing charges it was easy for them to side with him. You remember the trial.”
Kim didn’t want to think about it but yes she did. “The 3 ring circus you mean.” She slouched some, it was a day of infamy. “Yeah I remember.” She sighed.
“They twisted your words and turned your heroic deeds against you. I hate that man and his green girl friend.” Anne said with her hands clenched.
Kim at the moment wasn’t about to tell her mother that Shego and her had patched things up. “Well to give you some consolation Drew Lypskee is dead.”
The Possible’s both looked at each other, it was James that spoke, “Drew is dead?”
“Yeah, Shego found out not too long ago.”
The Possible’s interlocked hands for a moment just long enough to give a small squeeze. In their hearts they were glad; he had ruined their lives; to an extent that they almost never recovered.
“Anyway after you were taken into custody your friend Wade contacted us. He had been visited by the same spirit and basically given the same message. Wade had come up with a solution one that was quite out there but it had some possibilities. He had located a woman who might be able to do something.”
Kim’s brain quickly thought of who it might be, “D N Amy.”
Kim’s Parents looked shocked, “You remember her?”
“Who could forget her.” Kim sighed. She had many encountered her many times, a couple of times she actually stayed in jail for a time.
Kim’s parents then looked at each other and knew this is where they had made their mistake and taken things way too far. They took each others hand again, this was going to be hard to explain.
“Mom...Dad?” Kim could see the tension in both of their faces.
“Kim...hun we did something we are not really proud of.” Mrs. Possible said. She looked again at her husband, then back to her. “Please remember we did it all for you.”
Her mothers eyes spoke volumes. Kim could see something was not right here and a bit of anger began to arise within her. “What did you do?” She said sternly.
“With your friend Wade we...we took Ron’s body and hid it.”
“You took Ron’s body!!!” Kim shouted and stood up violently.
“Kim calm down please there is more you must know.” Anne said trying to settle things. “It made the news it’s a wonder you didn’t hear about it.” They looked at her for an answer.
“I did hear about it but I didn’t think my parents would be involved!” Her face became flush with hostility , what were they thinking.
Anne looked up at Kim and saw anger staring back at her. “It made the papers and the Stopable’s blamed us. They tried to have us arrested but there was really no evidence to back up their claim. They confronted us one night screaming and yelling for us to give them back their son but we denied we had anything to do with it.”
Kim sat back down not believing this, this was not like her parents. She was furious but she kept her cool, she needed to hear the whole story. “So you lied to Ron’s parents.”
“We had to.” They said together.
“You didn’t ...have... to do anything.” Kim said with angst.
The Possible’s looked at each then back to Kim, they knew what they had done wasn’t right but what was done was done; they continued. “Wade was able to find out where D N Amy had hidden herself away and we took Ron’s body to her, hoping she could reconstruct him. Dr Lypskee had put Ron’s body in suspended animation, which Wade had thought might be the saving grace in all this.”
Kim just shook her head. “Mom...this is ridiculous you did all this in a glimmer of hope you could resurrect Ron’s dead body!!! And I thought I was nuts?”
“We had to try...we had to clear you of these absurd charges that kept you in that ghastly place.” Anne said almost in tears but she held them back.
“Mom! Ron died, there wasn’t any hope...you risked your careers for an insane dream.” Kim was angry this was not like her parents, a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon being so incredibly stupid.
James Possible continued with the story, “We took Ron’s body to D N Amy, she was surprised to see us and couldn't believe what we had in our possession. It took some convincing and a whole lot of money on our part but she said she would attempt the impossible.”
Kim stood up again, “You cannot be serious, you are making this up.” Kim said rolling her eyes this was ludicrous.
“Kim please hear us out, please sit down.” He watched as his daughter sat once again, she wasn’t at all happy. “We gave her what she asked but... she tricked us, she remembered who we were and you especially and she had her own plan.” James Possible stopped and stared at a now angry daughter and now he had to tell her something that she was not really going to like. “She succeeded.”
Kim’s eyes went wide, “What!”
“She managed to resurrect Ron.” James said again, he watched as Kim stood up once again with extreme anger in her eyes.
“Ron’s alive!!!” She clenched her fists. “What do you mean he’s alive?” She was shouting now, “I rot Nine years in jail and Ron is running around doing who knows what?”
“Kim...Kim stop you have to hear the rest.” James Possible tried to get his daughter to calm down for just a moment.
“Why it seems you just abandoned me.”
James stood up, “That is quite enough young lady, we did not abandon you! There is more to this story...now sit and listen.” He couldn’t remember a time when he raised his voice to Kim but she needed to know the whole story.
Kim sat, it was rare that he ever got angry but it seems today he was. It seems there was more to hear and she had better listen. “Ok...go ahead.”
He stayed standing, “Yes Ron was alive but not in the way you think. D N Amy tricked us and well Ron came out of her device as a ..a...woman.” There he had said it.
“What?” Kim said.
“Amy had done something that changed Ron to a female, a thin blonde woman who really didn’t look a whole lot like Ron but had subtle features of him.”
“Ron is a woman!” Kim said in total shock.
“Yes, and as a result of the transformation she had no memory of anything as well. Only some basic schooling, knowing how to talk; although that was limited to simple sentences.”
Kim couldn’t believe this, “Ok let me get this straight... you’re telling me you got D N Amy to resurrect Ron and she tricked you and he’s now a woman.”
“Yes.” James said softly.
Kim just sat there in silence then angrily asked him, “Then why did I spend Nine years behind bars?”
James Possible sighed. “That’s a little harder to explain. We took the new Ron back with us, all the while Amy laughing as we left. The new Ron tried to remember for us but she drew a blank. We thought if we took her to court showing a judge that he would reverse the decision against you. Well that’s where he almost threw the book at us and almost had us put in jail. He couldn’t believe that we had come to him with this; he had never seen such a desperate set of parents in his life. To make up such a story just to try and get their daughter out of prison for an act she had been proven guilty of. To bring a young girl and claim ludicrous notions that she was Ron Stopable. He told us to leave the court and to never return with such ridiculous accusations. We almost lost everything, so we dropped it.
Although that wasn’t the end of it, the Stopable’s heard of what we tried to do and came to us. They threatened to bring this story to the medias attention. It would run in almost every paper, we really didn’t want that. So we made a deal. It cost us a lot and it’s the main reason I work from home now and why your mother is no longer working here in town.” He sat back down and let her take it all in.
She couldn’t blame the Stopable’s they had been through a lot. In her mind she could hardly believe this, Ron was alive in a different body. “This new Ron, she remembers nothing?” Questioning her father for more information.
“Nothing.” Anne answered. “We had her here for awhile, I helped her learn to talk again and do some of the basics. We later got her a tutor to bring up her math and English skills. She didn’t do too badly.”
Kim now wanted to know the big question, “Ok she obviously is not here...where is she?” Kim still had an edge to her voice.
Anne replied, “Once we felt she was ready to do things on her own I took her to a friend I knew in Go city. She had lost her husband and needed some help and some much needed company.”
“So she is in Go city.”
“Yes.”
Kim was curious. “What does she do there?”
“Believe it or not she is a chef in a very fine restaurant.” Anne said.
Kim stood and grabbed her coat off one of the chairs, “We are going to see her, soon.” She turned her back to her parents not saying another word. She opened the door and stepped out, she had a lot to think about.
