Convergence on Lawndale - Part 12
Mar. 2nd, 2025 08:08 pm“Stacy?” the Doctor asked.
“Yes,” Quinn answered. “She reacted to the flicker in an unusual way.”
“What way?” the Doctor asked.
“Like she had felt something,” Quinn responded.
“I see,” Kaelyn said.
“She said that it wasn’t an ordinary flicker.”
“That could mean anything,” Kim said.
“True, but I can tell that she did pick something up,” Quinn said. “I probably woudn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t been travelling with the Doctor.”
“Did something happen?” Daria asked.
“Yes, but I’ll tell you later,” Quinn responded.
“Of course,” Daria said.
“So, we need to find Stacy,” Kim said. “So, where could she be?”
“She’s either in one of the bathrooms, or hiding somewhere in a courtyard,” Quinn answered.
“Either way, it would take a while to find her,” Daria said.
“We need to split up,” the Doctor said. “I’ll search the courtyards with Ron and Rufus, and everyone else can check the bathrooms.”
“Ron and I work best together,” Kim said. “But I agree, this time.”
“I would be best if there was a girl looking in the courtyards too,” Quinn said.
“Good point,” the Doctor said. “You can come with then.”
“Great!” Quinn said.
Thus Kim, Daria and Kaelyn went to search the bathrooms. “With our luck, It would probably be the last one,” Daria said.
“Probably,” Kim said. “But we have to be thorough.”
“Sarcastic, are you?” Kaelyn asked.
Daria nodded as they passed a classroom.
“The principal probably knows we’re sneaking about,” Kaelyn said.
“I notice the cameras. There are more than there are at Middleton,” Kim said.
“That was something I noticed when I started here,” Daria said. “The Principal seems intent on running the school with an iron fist.”
“I have heard something about it,” Kaelyn said. “But aren’t most principals like that?”
“More so than the principal at my last school,” Daria answered. “And he had more of a reason.”
“Where was this?” Kim asked.
“A dying town in Texas,” Daria responded. “I don’t want to say more.”
“No problem. I have been to many dying towns, tracking down villains who think they can hide there amongst the decay,” Kim said as they came up to one of the bathrooms.
They searched that particular bathroom, but Stacy wasn’t there. “How many bathrooms in this school?” Kim asked.
“About half a dozen,” Daria answered.
The Doctor, Quinn and Ron emerged into one of the courtyards. “Is she likely to be here?” the Doctor asked.
“Yes,” Quinn answered. “There’s no one place in the school that she likes to hang out in.”
“So, she could be anywhere?” Ron asked.
“Yes,” Quinn answered. “But we’ll find her if the others don’t.”
The Doctor waved the sonic screwdriver. “There are few people here.”
Quinn walked through the courtyard, then called Stacy’s name, but there wasn’t an answer. “There are few more courtyards.”
“Of course,” Ron said.
Daria, Kim and Kaelyn checked another two bathrooms. They met Brittany Taylor as she came out of the third one.
“I haven’t seen Stacy,” Brittany said as she twirled one of her pigtails.
“Then we’ll keep looking,” Kim said.
“Can I join you?” Brittany asked.
“Um, sure,” Daria said. “That’s Kim, and that’s Kaelyn.”
“Does it have something to do with that brownout earlier?” Brittany asked.
“Yes,” Kaelyn answered.
Quinn, the Doctor and Ron entered a third courtyard.
“There’s someone here,” the Doctor said as he examined the sonic’s output.
“I’ll approach them,” Quinn said. She went over and saw that it was Stacy, hiding beneath a tree.
“Quinn?” Stacy asked, with some trembling in her voice.
“Stacy, I know that something happened during that power flicker.”
“Yes, but it’s hard to explain!”
“You can take your time,” Quinn said.
“We don’t have all that much time,” the Doctor said.
“Who’s that?” Stacy asked.
“I told you about the Doctor before,” Quinn answered.
“That’s him?” Stacy asked. “But who’s that boy? Does he also travel with him?”
“I’m Ron. No I don’t travel with him. I help save the world with my friend, Kim Possible. You haven’t heard of her yet.”
“They come to Lawndale to investigate what’s going on,” the Doctor said.
“OK,” Stacy said. “It was the flicker, but I felt something strange too,” she began.
“Yes,” Quinn answered. “She reacted to the flicker in an unusual way.”
“What way?” the Doctor asked.
“Like she had felt something,” Quinn responded.
“I see,” Kaelyn said.
“She said that it wasn’t an ordinary flicker.”

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 11
Sep. 19th, 2024 07:41 pmKaelyn started preparing the snacks. She did so quickly and efficiently, but she made each one slightly different.
“So, you aren’t going to eat?” Ron asked between bites.
“No, I don’t need to eat,” Kaelyn answered. “Just charging and maintenance. I may look human, but I’m anything but on the inside.”
“Of course!” the Doctor said.
“I have plenty of charge, and I rarely leave the house,” Kaelyn added.
“So, what are you allowed to tell us about your family?” Kim asked.
“It depends on what is asked,” Kaelyn answered.
“And you deflected the question,” Kim said.
“I didn’t. I don’t know what questions you’re going to ask. All I know is that I won’t answer any that are too personal,” Kaelyn said.
“That’s fair, I guess,” Kim said.
“So, you’re a robot, right?” Ron asked.
“I believe that we established that,” Kaelyn answered in a snide tone.
“I mean. Are you known to the government as a human or what?” Ron asked.
“Ah,” Kaelyn said, quietly. “Apparently, I was named after a daughter they lost. But they haven’t said much about her.”
“I see,” Kim said. It didn’t surprise her that much.
“Far from the first time I encountered such,” the Doctor commented.
“Both of them are engineers who work for Landon Engineering.”
“Haven’t heard of it,” Ron said.
“It’s rather local,” Kaelyn clarified.
“I’ve heard of it,” the Doctor said.
“They make a variety of products, including various types of robots.”
“So, could Andrew Landon be involved in something nefarious?” the Doctor asked.
“I wouldn’t know,” Kealyn answered.
“But we could find out,” Kim said.
“But would it be something to do with the portal?” Ron asked.
“It’s almost certainly related,” the Doctor said. “I could get UNIT to check. But first we need to head to the High School.”
“Why?” Kim asked.
“There are a couple of sisters who were investigating the portal with me earlier,” the Doctor answered.
“In that case, we’ll do that,” Kim said.
( Kaelyn called her parents )
“So, you aren’t going to eat?” Ron asked between bites.
“No, I don’t need to eat,” Kaelyn answered. “Just charging and maintenance. I may look human, but I’m anything but on the inside.”

Excerpt from: A River Journey
It was going to at least a few days journey to where they were going.
Arrietty looked at Spiller again. She wasn’t sure why she was looking at him. The feeling she was feeling was different than with Sho. She was quite sure. “Definitely,” she murmured.

“Where to first?” she asked.
“As I said, the High School,” the Doctor said.
“Of course,” she murmured.
“Let’s go,” Kim said.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“Quinn?” Stacy Rowe asked.
“I’m fine, Stacy. It’s just that it could be anything,” Quinn responded.
“I can come with you,” Stacy offered.
“Sure,” Quinn said.
Quinn knocked on the office door.
“Come in,” Li said.
Quinn entered. “You called, Ms. Li?”
“Yes. I know you still haven’t got any extracurricular activities after the end of the Fashion Club.”
“I guess I haven’t been looking, what with Christmas coming up and all.”
“Yes. Mrs. Manson is available,” Li said. She shook her head. “But that isn’t why I called you in.”
Christmas. That was going to be difficult. But Quinn put it out of mind. “So, why?”
“Most of the students of this school are reaching their potential…” The Principal started.
But Quinn interrupted. “You want me to tutor Kevin?”
“Let me finish, Ms. Morgendorffer!”
“Sorry.”
“Apology accepted. That’s something your sister might do, after the holidays. Anyway, there are three misfit students you may be able to help,” the Principal then handed a page over.
Quinn read it. “Anna Coultard… Has a reputation for being weird. That she does.”
“Yes. Whatever the truth is. She isn’t reaching her potential. There are two others.”
“Ben Harrod. A hypochondriac. This hypochondria prevents him from interacting with most of his peers due to his fear of germs. Ugh. Probably still thinks girls have cooties.”
“That’s inaccurate. He is friends with Anna,” the Principal interjected.
“I guess,” Quinn said. “And the last one. Gerald Brown. A loner. I guess like Daria would be if she hadn’t met Jane.”
“Maybe,” the Principal said.
“So, you want me to help these people?” Quinn asked. “How?”
“Encouraging to join in. With each other at first. We’ll see how it goes.”

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 10
Sep. 23rd, 2023 06:57 pmThe Doctor didn’t have to wait long before the robots came along. One looked like an ordinary Maine Coon. The other like an ordinary young woman.
“Come out, intruder,” the latter said in a normal sounding voice.
“I’m coming out,” the Doctor said.
“And the other two,” the robot woman said.
“What other two?”
“The girl, and the boy with the Naked Mole Rat.”
“Oh, them.” the Doctor said. “They’re not with me.”
“They followed you in.”
“Wherever they are, they are closer to whatever device is interfering with the electricity in Lawndale.”
“It isn’t something that’s dangerous,” the robot said. “And you are?”
“You can call me the Doctor.”
“The Doctor…” the robot considered.
“And your name is?”
“Kaelyn.”
“Kaelyn,” the Doctor considered. He wasn’t sure that she was telling the truth.

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 9
Jul. 27th, 2023 08:18 pmAs Stacy returned to her seat, she tried to ignore Sandi’s glare. “What was that about, Stacy?” the latter asked.
“Um, nothing,” Stacy said.
“It’s not nothing,” Sandi said.
Stacy turned back to her work.
The Doctor approached the source of the interference. It looked like an ordinary stretch of street, with the usual suburban houses, much like the rest of Lawndale. There had to be someone using one of the houses as a base. He whipped out the sonic and walked along the street.
At the same time, Kim and Ron were also approaching the area. “This is the street,” Kim said.
“It just looks like an ordinary street,” Ron said.
“You should know by now that looks can be deceiving.”
“I know.”
Kim took out the Kimmunicator. “There is definitely something here.”
“So, we’re just going to walk along and narrow it down?”
Kim nodded.
( The Doctor soon found it. )
“Um, nothing,” Stacy said.
“It’s not nothing,” Sandi said.

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 8
Apr. 8th, 2023 06:47 pm“What’s happening, Amiga?” Jane asked.
“The Doctor, again,” Daria answered.
That was all Jane needed to know. “Gotcha.”
Daria then filled her in on what was happening, including the portal to Middleton.
“I see,” Jane said when Daria had finished.
“We need to look out for unusual activity.”
“Of course.”
Quinn met her friends. “Quinn!” Stacy Rowe called out.
“Hi, Stacy,” Quinn said warmly.
“You were with that guy again, weren’t you?” Sandi Griffin asked in an icy tone.
“Sandi!” Quinn cried out. “Not right here…”
“And why not?” Sandi asked.
“I don’t want the whole school to know!” Quinn retorted.
“I guess not,” Sandi said.
