The problem is that most of the ideas here resemble past episodes too much. I think this is a great place for "plot bunnies," as we writers call them, to run wild. I'll use an example from one of my stories that is at this point incomplete:
What would happen if one were to retell
Beauty and the Beast in the fashion of KP? I'm thinking set it in an alternate universe where the events of
Attack of the Killer Bebes (since that episode makes an homage to BatB) did not go so happily and Ron becomes a villain after he runs away and DNAmy genetically fuses him with Rufus. Kim meanwhile has continued saving the world without Ron, unaware of her former sidekick's transformation. She is tasked with taking care of her father when he becomes paranoid schizophrenic after Dr. Drakken performs an experiment on him in AotKB because Ron was not there to act as a decoy (How do you think he planned to prove his genius? By making everyone else insane of course!). Kim of course blames Ron for this, which starts him down the road to villainy.
Ron's scheme involves kidnapping Kim's friends and family (and a few of her enemies) and transforming them into common household items to furnish the abandoned castle that he has made his lair. When Kim's father is kidnapped, Kim offers herself in a trade and Ron gleefully accepts. He imprisons her, but the close proximity means that all the emotions come to the surface (after Ron saves her life, of course) and once all the misunderstanding is cleared up they are able to make amends and become friends again, and they slowly fall in love. Kim vows to help Ron change back to normal, which involves tracking down DNAmy. The mad scientist's genetic zipper has been destroyed, but she devises a single-shot gas powered pistol that will hopefully undo the process. At the end, it works, and the day has been saved.
As for character equivalents, Kim and Ron are natural choices for Beauty and Beast, and the altered psyche of Kim's now-crazy (in a funny way) father makes him a lock for the role of Beauty's father. I had originally envisioned Shego as Cogsworth and Drakken as Lumiere, but I had to switch them around as this allows Shego to retain her glow powers. Kim's mother makes a convincing Mrs. Potts, and Joss is the perfect choice for Chip. Monique could be the Wardrobe (being the fashion guru that she is), and DNAmy is of course the witch who transformed Beast. Josh Mankey seems to work well as Gaston, and Tara is a good fit for LeFou. All in all, a very promising story. I've already got two chapters up. It's called
Beauty and the Mad Dog.
