The Unknown Adventure of Ann Possible
Epilogue: The Adventure Continues...
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
Ann turned down the radio so she could hear her daughter more clearly over the phone.
“Are you sure she’s alright?” Kim’s voice asked for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Ann just let out a cheerful sigh and shook her head.
“Yes Kim, Shin is perfectly fine,” she repeated.
She then tucked the phone between her neck and shoulder so she could sit down and begin to feed the infant in question, who was seated next to her in a high chair at the kitchen table. She scooped up a bit of the baby food in a small spoon then held it out to her granddaughter who eagerly swallowed it. Ann smirked to herself.
Still got it, she thought proudly.
“You’re sure?” Kim asked again.
“Yes I’m sure. I do have some experience in this area after all.”
“Yeah, yeah I guess you do. Sorry Mom. I’m just a bit nervous...”
“Again talking to an old hand at this. You just need to learn that you can’t control everything.”
“I can try!”
Ann sighed. “Just take it one day at a time, alright?”
“Alright.”
“Good. Now go get ready for your date.”
“Just one more thing. Make sure you keep her away from the Tweebs.”
“Kim she is their niece. You’ll have to let them spend time with her eventually.”
“I...guess. Maybe when they’re over that whole ‘blow up everything in sight’ phase.”
“They know not to blow up people,” Ann stressed, though she didn’t sound very convincing.
“They tried to shoot Rufus to the moon in a home made rocket!”
“Rufus isn’t a person.”
“Tell that to Ron,” Kim muttered.
Ann rolled her eyes and shook her head. She then looked over to the other side of the table where Jim sat making funny faces at Shin, causing her to laugh and clap happily.
“Regardless I think they’re going to be alright,” she remarked.
“Still...”
“I’ll make sure not to leave them alone with her.”
“Thank you Mom.”
“Come on KP I think they’re about ready!” Ron’s voice called out in the background.
“Well looks like I gotta get going,” Kim said in a hurry.
“Alright. Have fun on your double date with Ron and Bonnie. And tell them and Shego I said ‘hi’.”
“I will. Bye mom, love you.”
“Love you too sweetie,” Ann said then pressed the “End” button on the cordless phone.
She set it down on the table and let out a small sigh. You knew Kim meant well enough, but her constant concern for Shin’s welfare could be a little...taxing at times. Course then again she wasn’t really much different herself when she first had Kim. Always worrying about if she was going to be okay, if she was getting into anything dangerous, if she was healthy and a million other things. Not the least of which was if she was going to be a good mother or not.
Thankfully by the time Jim and Tim were born she was much more confident in her abilities and didn’t fuss around as much. Of course it helped that she made James help out much more the second time around as well. Plus Kim helped out as much as she could. Which is part of why she didn’t mind taking care of Shin. It felt like a way to repay Kim for all the help she gave her in taking care of the twins. And it actually felt kind of nice to be taking care of a baby again.
Of course the fact that she could eventually give Shin back to her daughter also helped out a lot. She smiled a bit as the rather naughty thought as she wiped away from of the extra food from around Shin’s mouth. She then noticed that Tim was still standing by the window and apparently watching something. She was about to ask what he was doing when he spoke up.
“Mom. There’s some weird guy across the street staring at the house. He’s been there for, like, ten minutes,” the brown haired boy informed.
Ann’s heart nearly stopped at the cryptic message. After all that reassuring she had just done to Kim that Shin would be fine, now there was some stranger watching the house. What if it was one of Kimmie’s enemies trying to attack her baby while she was supposedly defenseless? They had never tried to attack the house before but with Shego now back on the right side of the law a lot of things had changed. So what if they were starting to get more...personal in their attacks. What was she going to do?
Well the one thing I can’t do is panic, she told herself. I don’t want to worry the boys or Shin. For now I have to be strong and keep a level head.
She set the jar of baby food on the table top then carefully walked over to the window Tim stood in front of and gently pushed him back. When she looked out the window herself she did indeed see someone standing across the street, illuminated perfectly by the street light he stood under. He was a young, thin man, probably in his mid 30s or so, and he wore a blue pin stripped suit with a long brown coat over top of it and topped over with a pair of red trainers. His brown hair was a messy tuft atop his head and looked like it had far too much gel in it. He stood in a relaxed pose with his hands in his suit pockets and he seemed to have a kind of care free attitude about him.
But there was something else too. An almost hidden aura of seriousness that it seemed like he was trying to hide. Like he seemed older than he appeared. Much older. In fact, the more she stared at him the more she developed a sense of familiarity. Like she had seen him somewhere before. It was almost like deja vu. But she had never seen him before today. So why...?
No, she thought in disbelief. It couldn’t be!
As if reading her mind the stranger grinned and winked before he turned and started to walk away. That was it! That was a sign! She was sure of it! It had to be him! It just had to be! After all he changed his face before, why couldn’t he do it again? But more importantly why was he watching her? Was The Master back? Did he need her help again? If so why was he walking away?!
Oh no you don’t! she thought in determination.
She turned around to look at the twins.
“Jim! Tim! Watch your niece!” she announced then bolted out of the sliding door before they could even respond.
She ran as fast as she could but somehow it just didn’t seem to be enough. She caught a glimpse of his coat going behind some of the houses on her block and into the wooded area behind them. She darted between them as well and still didn’t seem to catch up to him. She took a deep breath, and not caring what the neighbors thought, shouted out as loud as she could:
“DOOOOOOOOOCTOOOOOOOOR!”
The only response she received was the familiar sound of the TARDIS’ engines powering up. That sound, the sound she would never forget in her life, drove her to run even faster. She pasted into the thicket of trees behind the row of houses and arrived just in time to see the outline of the blue box fade from existence. She bent over and placed her hands on her knees to catch her breath. She tilted her head up and stared at the space where the TARDIS had stood just seconds ago.
“Almost got ‘im,” she muttered then smirked as she stood up. “Next time Doctor. Next time.”
End Epilogue.
Author’s Notes: And there we go, the official end to this fic. Again so, so sorry it took me so long to finish but between getting a new computer with only WordPad, shifting summer schedules, multiple trips to the hospital involving some surgery, it was just a little difficult to finding the right mind set to write. But now I’m better, I have both Word and WordPerfect, back to my usual schedule so hopefully I’ll get my writing back to fairly regular schedule again. At the very least I hope it won’t take me another eight months to write out a six chapter story.
I also hoped that those of you who stayed with it enjoyed this little experiment. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea judging by the rather lukewarm response it got. I don’t plan on doing something that’s a translation of another story or movie anytime soon but I do plan on doing some more crossovers. Just original ones this time. Well as original as you can get with fanfiction. I hope you guys will enjoy those ones as well.
Now does that mean Ann might meet up with The Doctor again in some form or another at sometime or another? Perhaps. Perhaps.
Til next time!
