“~Wheet~” Fye Whistled.
“Alrighty now Mokona, where did we land up this time?” Syaoran asked their little white bun.
“Humph… probably some god forsaken country again no doubt, that useless white bun.” Kurogane growled, picking up Mokona, getting ready to fling it. When he was just about to, a hand came from behind and gently lifted Mokona off Kurogane’s Fingers. “Aww, c’mon Kuro-pon… Mokona did his best” pausing to smooch Mokona, Fye continued “At least say a word of thanks…” Fye started. Suddenly, alarms sounded as Syaoran picked up the still sleeping Sakura and started. Out of nowhere, with a flash of red, a girl wearing a crop-top and cargo pants burst into the room, shouting “Freeze!” A little while later, a small boy wearing the same type of clothing as the girl, but in boy’s fit, dropped from the ventilation system.
“Who’s that buffoon?” Kurogane whispered to the girl. The boy overheard and cried “hey hey hey!!! The name’s Ron Stoppable!!!”
“Ahh! A welcome party!” Fye whistled as the girl studied the motley crew with skeptical eyes.
“You… you’re not around here are you?” the girl asked.
Kurogane replied sarcastically with that signature scowl on his face “however did you guess?”
“Huh? Where are we?” Sakura asked sleepily. “Sakura-hime, you’re up?” Syaoran smiled at her.
The girl stepped to one side, pulled out a strange looking blue device from her pocket and spoke to it, “Wade? What do you make of this?” the girl pointed the screen at Syaoran and company. The device sprang from her fingers and scanned the crew from top to bottom. “Hmm, definitely human, but I’m not so sure about that … thing though…” Wade commented, “I’ll go dig up some dirt. Get back to you soon, Kim. Wade out.” The screen went blank.
“Hmm. You guys don’t look too bad…” Ron said, studying them.
“Well, I guess an introduction is in order here.” Kim said, “I’m Kim, Kim Possible and this is partner Ron Stoppable. Together, we’re known as Team Possible.” At this point, Ron spoke up “Uh-huh, uh-huh, and this is my best pal Rufus!” as if on cue, a hairless pink rodent with a long skinny tail poked its sleepy head out of Ron’s pocket and muttered “hi”.
Fye, assuming the role of leader, introduced Syaoran, Sakura, Mokona and himself, deliberately leaving Kurogane out. Turning to Kurogane, Fye grinned, pointed to him and uttered one word: “Kuro… RIN!” All of a sudden, Kurogane started chasing Fye round and round the jail cell as Team Possible watched; laughing so hard Ron had stitches.
“Ha…” Kim started, “hey, wanna bunk at my place tonight?”
Fye thought for a moment, “yeah, why not? But are five guests a little overboard?”
Ron then offered to take Kurorin (as they know him as) and Fye to his house, and then Syaoran and Sakura could sleep together in Kim’s place. When Kim glared at him, he shuffled his feet and mumbled “well, in this light they look like a cute couple…”
Syaoran then took Mokona to one side and asked, “Mokona, any vibes from Sakura’s Feather?”
“Yup yup, very strong vibes coming from two Feathers!” Mokona crossed his arms and said in a matter of fact tone. “TWO FEATHERS????” Syaoran cried out.

Kim’s House
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Uh, Kimmy-cub? Friends of yours?” Mr. Possible eyed Syaoran and the rest.
Kim decided to ignore her dad and led Sakura to her room and brought Syaoran to the possible guest room.
“Actually, it’ll be best if Sakura and I could sleep together.” Syaoran told Kim.
“But,” Kim started. With a sorrowful look from Syaoran, she couldn’t say no.
After they ‘moved’ in, Kim told the two of them, “Alright. Let’s go to Ron’s place and check on Kuro-rin and Fye.” At this moment, Syaoran, in a fit of laughter, made it a point to correct Kim’s view on Kurogane’s name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron’s House
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Wow! This’ your house? ~ Wheet! ~” Fye whistled.
Blushing, Ron led them in. “Who’re these handsome men?” Mrs. Stoppable asked.
“Mum! These are Kim’s friends. Can they bunk with us, please? Ron pleaded, putting on his own version of the puppy dog pout.
“I’m not sure hon, your room’s in a complete mess! However, if you could get these fine looking men to help, I don’t see why not, but how long will they be staying?” Mrs. Stoppable said with a nod.
“MUM!” Ron exclaimed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Fwoo! I’m bushed!” Fye said with a smile, plonking himself on the bed.
“Yeah! Me too!” Ron said, smiling his wide, goofy grin.
“Humph! Weaklings! Can’t even clean a teeny room!” Kurogane said, scowling.
“Ease up Kurorin, I know you’re a…” Ron couldn’t finish his sentence because Kurogane shouted from his corner, “FOR THE LAST TIME, MY NAME’S KUROGANE!!!”
“Aww, not so loud Kuropon, don’t disturb Ron’s parents.” Fye chided Kurogane.
“Ron? You there?” Kim’s voice echoed from the corridor.
“Coming!” Ron replied and with that, the threesome started towards the Stoppable’s living room.
When all seven were together, Syaoran began to tell the story of their adventures. Syaoran told the story so well that both Kim and Ron were captivated by the descriptive stories told by Syaoran.
Without knowing, two hours had passed when Syaoran finished. So captivated by Syaoran’s stories, Kim and Ron said together, “Ok, I’m in!”
As if on cue, Kim’s blue device beeped. “What’s that thing?” Mokona asked.
“Oh, it’s a kimmunicator, made just for me by my friend wade.” Kim replied absentmindedly as she pressed a button and said, “Go wade.”
“Kim! Drakken’s on the move! He’s in South America. I’ll send for a ride ASAP. Get to the airport in 10 minutes, Wade out!” Wade exclaimed and cut the line.
“You think it has something to do with Sakura’s Tsubasa?” Fye whispers to Syaoran.
“Only one way to find out,” Syaoran answers, and turns to Kim “Mind if we tag along?”
“I don’t mind you three guys, but as for Sakura, I don’t think it’ll be safe for her.” Kim said sullenly.
“Aww, c’mon Kim, she’ll be good… Besides, she’s had worse scrapes than this before, Fye whined. After much persuasion on Syaoran’s part, Kim let out a sigh and reluctantly allowed Sakura to tag along.
“Alright, let’s go!” Kim announced. “But, what do we do with Mr. Fye and Mr. Kurogane’s clothes?” Syaoran asked, as Kim opened the door. Realizing her mistake, Kim apologized and told them, “Fine… let’s go to the mall first then.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 minutes later, at the mall
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Club banana everyone!” Kim shouted to everyone.
“Hey! Why do they get club banana? I propose Smarty Mart!” Ron exclaimed. Rolling her eyes, Kim led the five of them in.
“Welcome to Club ba… Kim!” a black haired Afro-American girl called.
“Hey Monique, just shopping for… wha!” Kim started when Monique tugged her to one side.
“Okay spill Kim, who’re they?” Monique eyed Syaoran suspiciously, and whose rabbit is that? Looks ugly!” she pointed at Mokona. Not wanting to waste any more time, Kim immediately asked for mission clothing for the crew.
After measuring their sizes, Monique went to the back of the store and re-emerged holding an armful of black shirts and cargo pants, giving them to Syaoran, Fye and Kurogane in turn. Monique then went to the rack and picked up a set for Sakura. After everyone had gotten their clothes, Monique pointed them to the changing rooms.
Staring at the changing room and growling, Kurogane said, “You mean these are changing rooms? They’re more like partitions!” swinging the door back and front, he continued, “Look! The doors don’t even reach the floor!” with that, everyone started laughing.
After the first try, Syaoran complained that the cargo pants were too baggy, and Kim, still in a fit of laughter, had to explain that cargo pants were meant to be baggy. Fye found his shirt too small and none of the sizes could fit Kurogane!
In the end, they had to wait half an hour for Monique to get the clothes ready, especially for Kurogane, whose Japanese clothes were too overbearing for the middleton citizens, with him holding ‘souhi’ on his shoulder. After much convincing that they were safe, Kurogane finally passed his coveted sword to Mokona for safekeeping.
While waiting, the seven of them went for smoothies, where Fye was praising the smoothies like there was no tomorrow. Kurogane had to hit Fye hard in order to stop him from comparing his potions to the smoothies in front of everyone.
Half an hour later, they picked up their clothes and changed into them, leaving their original clothes with Monique for safekeeping. Looking at Syaoran and Sakura, Fye screamed, “Kawaii!” and this attracted quite a number of stares from the crowd.
Running out of the mall, Kim hailed a taxi and brought Syaoran and the rest to the middleton airport. Arriving at the airport sweating and panting, Kim called Wade who told her that her ride was waiting at Hangar 5.
When they made it to Hangar 5, they saw a pilot adding fuel to the plane.
Kim asked “Excuse me?” and when the pilot turned around, Syaoran let out a short, sharp gasp.
To be continued…
