The Monkey's Tail

I have to go in for a back surgery tomorrow so I am going to post the major part of the next chapter. It's at a breaking point now.I don't know when I'll get back to it. If parts deem a little strange, please remember that the percocets may have been doing some of the writting for me. Please leave comments. They are always welcome.


The neighbors of the Possible family, have seen many strange and unusual things over the years. Hover jets landing and taking off, evil zombie snowmen attacking the house, giant robots that you get free with a meal at the Bueno Nacho, crashing out of the Possible home, low orbital satellites being launched from the backyard, and even giant space walkers landing and destroying the house entirely.

None of the neighbors knew exactly how many times the house had been repaired either. The last time it had to be totally rebuilt, even though it always looked the same afterwards. When it was rebuilt it this time though, it took a little longer than normal. All the construction companies had their hands full due to the alien invasion.

Anyway, the sight of Mr and Mrs Possible arriving home and walking inside was nothing unusual, even when they were accompanied by an elderly Japanese gentleman and their daughter. The short haired lady wearing an eye patch that popped up out of a manhole where there was no manhole before with sixteen men, all wearing dark glasses, didn't even deserve a second glance. The men surrounded thee house and kept watch facing away from it. Nor did the multicolored jet that landed and Hego and his sister Shego got out and went inside seem that far out of the ordinary.

All these things were normal, or at least "close to normal." The thing that was odd happened about two hours before these people started to arrive. Both of the twin boys were out putting up their Christmas decorations. It was late evening in the middle of summer. All the lights and displays that they had were set up amd were turned on after Hego and Shego entered the house.

"Okay." said Shego. "Other than trying to prove you folks can afford the electric bill, what are we trying to prove here? I mean, I was halfway to South America when I get a call from the Keyboard Kid telling me to get my ass back here as quick as possible. What gives?

"Yes Kimberly," said Dr Director. "My Global Justice team is still trying to locate where Monkey Fist is hiding and how they are moving without being seen. All of a sudden, I get a call from Wade telling me to come here and bring a full security team with welding goggles to guard the house from intruders. Ron didn't................pass, did he?"

"Thanks tweebs. You did a great job." Kim said ignoring Dr Director's question.

"We've got to set up some white noise now. Later Sis." said Tim and Jim.

Addressing everyone else, Kim said, "Let's move this into the dinning room, shall we?" Once there, she indicated that everyone should take a seat. Her mother said that she would go and get some drinks for everyone and her father started pulling down shades on all the windows. She then set her Kimmunicator on the table and turned it on. "Wade. Is everything clear?"

"Everything's clear Kim. With the lights and guards outside, that should keep out any intruders. I did a full sweep of the house and no unexpected ears, electronic or otherwise, present. The twins have the white noise going already. Ready anytime you are."

"Thanks Wade." Facing the people seated at the table she said," Okay. We now know where Monkey Fist is hiding and we have a plan to bring him down. There's only one way to do it. I'll let my "father," explain." She turned to her father and said, "Ready?"

Her father nod ed, reached up, grabbed his hair and pulled his head off revealing Ron Stoppable. "I told you it was a good idea to keep this mask of your father."

Voices filled the room. Joy, disbelief and then demanding an explanation all at the same time. Ron held up his hand until they quieted down. "Folks, I am sorry for the masquerade but it was necessary. Kim's father stayed at the hospital to let me move around as him. We are keeping word that I recovered quiet. We don't want Monkey Fist to know that just yet. The last time I fought him, he said things that the only way he could have known them, was to have someone or something spying on Kim and me. Since he believes I'm out of the way, that would leave Kim as the spy's target. We had to make sure that what we plan at this meeting doesn't get leaked to him. Okay Wade."

A 3d holo map of the subway system was projected into the space above the Kimmunicator. "Okay. We know he is in the old uncompleted subway tunnels that run under the tri-cities. That's how they have been able to move around as quickly and as easily as they have without being spotted. There are several exits out of them." Ron points some of them out. "We think that Monkey Fist's main headquarters is here, in the area around what would have been the Central Station and the round house, where the trains would have been stored or repaired. Kim?"

"Ron, Sensei, and I have a plan," she said addressing the others. "But it won't work without all of you helping. Even then it might be a little iffy. What we need you to do is enter the tunnels at three different places, here, here and here." she said pointing to three places near to top of the holo map. "We need you to enter with a force strong to engage the adjusted monkey army. We hope that Monkey Fist will not want to engage you himself at any one point and leave the other two point vulnerable. We believe he will stay where he is and wait for you to come to him. While you are doing that, Ron and I will sneak in at this point", she pointed to a spot farthest from their entry points, " after you have entered, we will come at him from behind, after he has sent out his troops to fight you. With any luck, we will be able to defeat him once and for all. And please, if at all possible, don't fight to kill. They are just normal monkeys caught up in Monkey Fist's plans. We should be able to return them to normal afterwards."

"That's an awful lot of "hopes" there Princess." said Shego. "I think it would be better if I tagged along with you two and give you some extra firepower. He might be expecting someone to try and come in through the back door."

"No Shego," said Ron. "for three reasons. One, we don't want to engage the monkeys. We are going to come in like thieves. Two, we need you to keep Team Go organized and focused. With you there, Team Go will be a formidable force and the monkeys won't be able to overwhelm you. And three, with you keeping them focused, you will be more at the back of the lines. Your brothers will protect you because we couldn't live with ourselves if something happened to that little bundle of joy growing inside of you."

Shego grumbled but didn't object.

"The same can be said of you Dr Director and you Sensei. With you leading your forces, Monkey Fist will be convinced that your attack are real and not just diversions." said Kim.

"What about you Kimberly?" asked Dr Director. " Won't he be suspicious if you aren't there to take part in the attack against the man that supposedly killed your fiance?"

"Well........... we, ah......... we were going to use the holo-Kim and............"

"I think she has you Pumpkin." said Shego with a sinical smile. "Didn't you already use that against him and fail? And this will be against real monkeys, that posses animal senses. They will know it's a fake at a hundred yards."

"Maybe she's right Kim." said Ron. "You could go with the Yamanouchi team and.."

"No Ron. I'm going with you and that's that. We'll just have to come up with something ...." said Kim before she was interrupted by her mother.

"I think this is where I come in." said Anne Possible as she set down a tray with drinks on it. "Since Kim has grown up a few sizes, we look more alike than ever. I'll wear some of her mission clothes, maybe a wig and go with Master Sensei. He will make sure that nothing happens to me. I'll be Kim."

"But mom!"

"Hush Kimmie. You need to be with Ron. We both know that." said Anne. "Beside, Nana Possible would kill me if I didn't do something to help. I can at least be the distraction."

"It would be my honor to make sure that nothing happens to such a valiant lady, Kim Possible. Do not be concerned about your mother." said Sensei.

Kim looked from her mother, to Sensei, to Ron and back to her mother. Knowing her mother, she knew that all discussion of the matter was over. She went over and gave Anne a big hug and whispered, "Thank you mom."

Her mother whispered back, "Consider it a pre-wedding, wedding present. Just get the job done baby."

"Well, we still have some detail to work out. Timing is crucial and it's going to take some time to get our peoples in position and ready." said Dr Director.

"I got in touch with Dr Drak......ah .......Drew. He's on his way back. He wants to help, but I don't know how long it will take him to get here." added Shego.

"I'll arrange to have him picked up by one of our fastest Global Justice jets. He may not make it in time for the beginning of the fight, but he should make it before the end of it. " said Betty.

"And I have taken the liberty of contacting someone to go with you tomorrow Stoppable-san." said Master Sensei. "A former student of mine. He was also a member of Global Justice before that. Lady Shego is right. You will need at least one more person in your party in case you meet resistance and to help carry the "jar". You will not be able to use your full MMP till you reach Monkey Fist or else he will be able to detect it's power and know that you are coming. My former student will be here at 8:00 am, just as you will be ready to leave."

"I think I know who you are talking about Master Sensei. I will radio the guards right now to let him pass tomorrow morning." said Dr Director as she was touching the button on her communicator.

"Who is it Master?" ask Ron.

Master Sensei smiled and said, "He has assisted you many times in the past though you did not always know it. As for his identity, you will see tomorrow Stoppable-san."

"The guards just informed me that something or someone has been trying to breach the light field. They only noticed it as a shadow or a dark spot on the edge of the lights. Whenever they tried to check it out, the spot just withdraws. So far we are still secure." said Dr Director. "We had better get this meeting over with as soon as possible."

An hour later everything was set. The attack would start at 10:00 am. That would give them all time to move into position and get some rest first. The guards would remain outside to protect the house through the night. As they all started to leave to prepare there forces, Anne pulled Kim aside.

"Kim. I'm going to have the twins take me back to the hospital. I want to spend the tonight with your father. You might want to consider doing the same with Ron." she said matter-of-factly.

"You're worried, aren't you?" asked Kim looking into her mother's eyes.

"No. Not really. But so many things could go wrong that I just want to make sure your father knows exactly how I feel about him. That said, we'll meet up tomorrow after you two have defeated Monkey Fist." She smiled, then hugged and kissed Kim goodnight. Before leaving, Anne did the same to Ron.

Kim closed the door behind her mother and the twins, since they were the last to leave. Ron had stayed in the other room far away from the door so no one could see him when it was open.

Kim re-entered the dining room to see Ron just sitting there staring off into space. He looked worried. When she came near him, he said, "So many people counting on us Kim. How did you ever deal with it?"

"I didn't." she said as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. "I just dealt with what had to be done, and then did it. That way I didn't have to deal with the worry."

"But you're worried now?"

"A little." she said as she tried to force a smile. " A little for you, a bit more for mom and a lot about my part in this."

"Kim, I know you. Just remember what Sensei and I told you, and it will happen. When the time comes, you'll do fine."

"I don't know. Ron I've never done anything like this before."

He stood and held her face with his hands. "Come on Kim. Remember back in high school, in home-ec. "Let the beating of the blades and the beating of your heart merge together. You will become one." You did pretty good then."

She tried to force a smile again.

"Remember, "Anything's possible for a Possible." He said just before he kissed her.

Then she did smile, a real smile. Ron had a way of giving confidence to her that no one else ever could. "And no one can stop a Stoppable." she replied.

Ron smiled a big "Ron smile". "And since you are going to become Mrs Stoppable, you can't be stopped and you can do anything."

"We." she corrected him. ""We" can't be stopped and "We" can do anything."

"Then "we" had better get some sleep. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. I'll take the couch in the den." said Ron as he turned to head that direction.

Kim held his arm to keep him from turning. "Uh-uh. I want to talk to you about something that got missed."

"Something about the plan? Kim, what did we miss?

"This." she said as she pulled him into a kiss. And then a hug.

"I thought I'd lost you." she said into his shoulder, in a sad voice.

"You almost did." Ron said softly into her ear. "I haven't really had time to tell you about this part, but after Amy used the Monkey's Tail on me, I thought I "was" dead. There was only darkness and silence and I couldn't seem to move either. I had resigned myself to look for "the light," or "angels" to come and take me." He chuckled, "Hopefully not "devils." Anyway, all of a sudden I heard your voice. You screamed my name and I knew I had to move, get to you, somehow. It was then that I realized I was moving, towards you. Your voice called me and lead me back to my body."

"And at another point, I had given up on being able to "join myself back together," when I heard you tell me about how you were going after Monkey Fist and you didn't think you would make it back. Nothing in this life or the after life was going to stop me from finding my way back to you."

"I will always know my way home to you Kim. All you have.......to ........do.......is ..........call "it" back to you?" Ron said as he was trying to remember something.

"'It?' Ron, are you alright?" asked Kim looking up at him.

"Yeah." he smiled. "I think I just remembered something that might help tomorrow."

"Good." she said as she snuggled in his embrace as he held her from behind. "Ron, I really don't want to sleep alone tonight."

Ron looked down at her and asked in a shocked tone, "Kimberly Anne Possible! Are you asking me to come up to your room, in this new house, which looks just like your old house did by the way, and make love to you in that room? Your room, the room that I have long fantasized about making love to you in? Which was the reason my mom thought I was going to go into the laundry business, I had to wash my own sheets so many times because of. Is that what you are asking me to do?"

Kim smiled and said "Yeah."

"Well let me check my "to do list" then. Let's see, hmmmmm. Re-attach soul to body, come back from the brink of death, help save world from mad monkey man set on global conquest, Yeah. I think I can work that in here somewhere." he said and then moved his hands down to her waist and started tickling her ribs.

Giggling, she turned and grabbed his hands to prevent any more tickling and gave him a quick kiss. "One thing though. I just want it to be simple tonight."

"What do you mean Kim?"

"Well, ....................................you see the last time we made love, you were kinda...................................." she trailed off.

"What? I didn't do it right?.................... I didn't do it right."

"Oh no! I knew I wouldn't be very good at it!.................."

"Kim I can do better. I knew I should have listened closer to "Her." I can do better. Please let me try."

"Ron! Let me finish please. I was going to say 'overwhelming.'"

"Kim, I can talk to my father. Maybe he can give me some pointers. I could even talk to your father.......wait........scratch that idea. No, I could.................wait................what did you say?" Ron asked as he went from totally panicked to confused.

Kim pulled out a chair and sat down at the table. "When I imagined us making love for the first time, I thought it would be kind of "awkward." Both of us trying things for the first time, trying to find out what pleased the other, what felt good, what didn't feel good, you know. Both of us mapping and exploring a new world, together, with each other. It turns out that you have the Rand-McNally book on me."

Facing him as he sat in the chair next to her, she took his hand and continued. " That first night, you took me to such sexual heights and joy, that I could never have imagined it. The other girls at college told me they were lucky if their boyfriends got them off every fourth or fifth time they made love. I would have been happy with that, so long as it was with you. So long as we were doing things together. With you Ron, you get me off four or five times every time we make love. "

"And that's a bad thing? asked Ron.

"No......yes..... Ron, I love you. I don't care about how many times I get off. Well, that's not entirely true, but there's no way that I can give that back to you, at least not right now till I've had a chance to learn. It's not that I love you because of the sex, I loved you before that and I love you with it." Looking at Ron she saw that she was not getting her point across so she decided to try a different approach.

"When we make love, it makes me feel inferior that I haven't been able to return the same sexual heights and joy that you have given to me. I don't need that with you. I would love you if I never had any of that. So long as we are "together." You're just that good."

Ron looked at Kim and said. "So you would rather we just made love without the bells and whistles? "

Kim smiled and nodded her head.

"You would be happier if I didn't make your eyes roll up in the back of your head multiple times when we made love and you would only have an orgasm every so often?"

"Ron, I would be happier if you gave me the chance to catch up to you. I want to learn how to make you "explode" four or five times a night. And we wouldn't have to have the pressure of making sure that the other did that every time . I want us to be comfortable in that respect. Knowing we can, but not having to."

Ron smiled and said, "You know the reason I wanted to learn how to do that was because I knew that you could have picked anybody, but you picked me. I wanted to make you as happy as I could. My way of saying , "thank you" for making me the lucky one."

"I didn't pick "anybody" Ron. I picked you. And for your information, I'm the lucky one. I went through a few frogs till I found my Prince."

At this point they kissed. A nice, long kiss.

Finally Ron said. "I have an idea Princess. Let go to your room and do some mapping."

"I'll get my explorer's helmet if you let me break trail and lead for a while."

"Deal."

Well, the surgery went fine. Right now I have 13 staples in my lower back near the spine on the right side. Percocets are a good thing, even if they only take the edge off. Still better than Vicodin.
