Kim walked along the hallway quietly in her pink pajamas that Shego had given her. It wasn't really early, it was around 8 a.m. She was wondering why Shego wasn't up. After all, this was their ‘official’ anniversary of them going out. They both had agreed that they'd do something together. But she just hadn't seen Shego around all morning. Kim herself had been up for a couple hours and hadn't so much as caught a glimpse of her girlfriend. Which is why she was making a point to be quiet. She didn't want to disturb Shego if she was asleep. At least not quite yet.
Kim opened the door to the room that Shego had been given when she had come to stay over a year ago. Looking in, she could see the raven-haired beauty asleep on the bed.
Kim moved in and sat down next to the bed, making her eyes level with Shego's. “Hey, Shego,” Kim called softly, hoping to wake Shego up gently if she could, since if she startled Shego awake, then they might have problems all day from that. Even though they had planned on enjoying it together.
“Mmm. Five more minutes, mom,” Shego said, apparently still very asleep.
“But we agreed to spend today together,” Kim prodded.
Slowly Shego opened one eye. “Kim? What're you doing here?”
Kim couldn't help but smile. She was just too cute when she wasn't completely awake like this. “It's time to get up.”
Shego turned her head back into the pillow. “The alarm hasn't gone off yet,” came the muffled reply.
Kim looked at the alarm clock next to the bed. “But, it's set to 11:30.”
“You catch on quick, princess.”
Kim couldn't help but be amused at the whole sitch. Even though Kim's plans required that they start ealier than that, she still couldn't help but be amused at the whole part. “But we agreed that we'd spend it together.”
Shego lifted the blanket. “We can spend it here,” she offered.
Kim grabbed Shego's arm. “But then we'll miss out on what I planned for us.”
Shego groaned. Kim smiled as she could tell from the groan that she was winning. Shego wasn't really grumpy, she was just being playful as usual. Kim started to lightly tug on Shego's arm after a minute of silence. “What time do your plans start?” Shego finally asked.
“About 11.”
“Then we can have some time in here,” Shego replied, taking hold of Kim's arm and pulling her so suddenly that the redhead was caught off balance and was pulled into the bed.
“Hey!” Kim cried, indignantly.
Shego quickly threw the covers over Kim before she could react. “Now you're mine, princess.” And before the redhead could say anything, Shego's mouth covered hers as Shego's hands started to move to hold the younger girl as they started to make out in the bed.
“You can't tell me you didn't enjoy that,” Shego remarked to Kim as she drove down the street, following Kim's directions.
“Maybe,” Kim conceded, “But my parents told us not to do anything like that when you first came over to stay with us.”
Shego laughed for a minute before replying. “Come on pumpkin, they told us not to sleep together. Besides, all we did was touch. We didn't go any further than that.”
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Kim start to blush. “B- but…”
Shego couldn't help but laugh again. This time so hard she actually swerved a little before she could regain control. “You really want to!” Kim's only response was to have her blush deepen. “Well, we could fix that. After all, we did tell your parents that we'd be together all day for our anniversary, so we don't have to worry about sneaking off to some motel.”
“Like I'd let you take me to some motel,” Kim remarked.
Shego leaned over to Kim, resting her head on Kim's should, causing the girl to jump in surprise. “That's why we still have my house, princess.”
“What do you have planned for us tonight?”
“Sorry, but just like how you have a surprise for me, I have a surprise for you and it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.”
“Can't you just give me a hint?” Kim asked while motioning for Shego to take a right.
“Sorry Cupcake, but somethings are ruined when you give even the smallest hint. Although, I can tell you that you're not going to see it coming.”
“Really? So I no matter what I do, you're not going to say anything?”
“No,” Shego answered immediately. Then after a moment of thought, she asked, “Why? What are you thinking of doing?”
When she didn't get a response she made a quick glance towards Kim. And almost crashed the car into the buildings they were passing as she saw Kim putting on her puppy dog pout.
After regaining control of the car and hoping no cop saw that, she pulled the car over to the side of the road. “Stop that,” she ordered before she could recover from the shock of nearly crashing the car. “If you don't, then after the surprise, we'll just head back to your parents house with our seperate beds.”
Kim quickly stopped the pout. “You're no fun.”
“At least right now,” Shego said with a suggestive smirk.
“So what's so good about this place?” Shego asked as she got out of the car. They were at a small airport and Shego couldn't figure out what would be so good about this or even why Kim seemed so excited about it.
“Oh, you'll see.”
Shego sighed as she followed her Kimmie over to one of the planes. Shego watched Kim speak to the pilot who apparently had been expecting them. Then the pilot got into the plane, apparently already ready to take off. “Come on!” Kim urged.
Shego wasn't going to go anywhere until she knew what they were doing. Maybe not all the details, but she'd at least like to know a bit of what to expect. “First tell me what we're going to do in the plane.”
Kim blushed as she looked away. “Well, I was thinking that we could do some skydiving with a twist.”
“A twist?” came the surprised reply. “What kind of twist?”
Kim laughed, clearly avoiding looking at her. “That's the surprise. You'll just have to wait.”
Shego laughed in return. “Okay, I'll let you have your fun.” Her mind was already trying to figure out what Kim had in mind of what they could do why skydiving. Yeah, they'd gone skydiving already several times, but that was all they did on the way down really. As they got ready and into the plane, she still couldn't figure out what it was that Kim was planning, but she could tell that it was killing the red-headed girl to not tell her, since she was certainly avoiding looking at the green-skinned woman. Which didn't make her annoyed, to her surprise, but rather it amused her. Of course, the fact that she couldn't think of what the ‘twist’ might be also was amusing, since she thought she knew the girl she was in love with, but this was something definitely out of the left field.
When it was time to jump, Shego and Kim jumped at the same time. It didn't really surprise Shego, since that's how they usually did it. At least when they weren't in a race to see who could get to a certain altitude first. Nothing seemed to be different this time. However, she was a little confused when Kim pulled her closer. She looked at Kim questioningly and saw her blushing and smiling so cutely. But the actions that followed caught the ex-thief off guard. Kim apparently decided to make the twist of making out with Shego while they were still free falling. Not that they hadn't kissed when they'd gone skydiving in the past, but that was always either before they jumped or after they landed. Then when they did that, they often would lose track of time. Which actually seemed to make it a little more of a thrill while skydiving. Shego wondered if she was going to learn more about the little girl who was certainly living up to her reputation being able to do anything; especially with how Shego would have thought that the crash helmets they were wearing would make kissing like this a little more difficult. But apparently Kim had already figured out how to work through this. Shego wondered if she hadn't already loved the girl currently in her arms before this, if this would have pushed her over that edge.
However, like many moments that the two often shared, they had a timely interruption. Shego was sorely tempted to tell Kim to throw the thing away, but she knew that Kim wouldn't do that. Not that she wasn't as annoyed as Shego, but she still needed it since she still went out on missions. Shego wondered if there was any way that she could send a plasma bolt through whatever connection that Kim had with her computer buddy. She didn't think so, but that didn't stop her from briefly fantasizing about being able to do that.
“Wade, you know this isn't a good time,” Kim said as she activated her Kimmunicator.
“Sorry, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't catch you at a worse time.”
“Wade, your timing couldn't have been any worse right now.”
“Okay, I'm sorry. I just wanted to let you know that you've gotten a-”
“Wade, I'll call you back when I'm on the ground,” Kim snapped. Then before Wade could say anything else, she terminated the communication.
“Now, where were we?” she asked, smiling at Shego.
However, as they were leaning their heads in to continue, the devices on their wrists started to beep, letting them know that it was time to open their parachutes. Kim groaned. “Don't worry, pumpkin. I'll kill him for you.”
“Don't even joke about that, Shego. You know that some would probably try to get you for the smallest thing just so they could put you in jail.”
“But weren't you thinking of something like that?” Shego asked, pulling the cord to open up her parachute.
“Actually, I was kinda wondering if it was possible for you to send a plasma bolt through my Kimmunicator at him,” Kim replied, opening her parachute as well.
Shego laughed. “What?”
“Oh, princess, I had the same thought. I was thinking about that when he first called.”
Kim couldn't help but laugh a little at that. When she was finished she asked Shego, “So, what did you think of that twist?”
“I enjoyed it. We'll have to find a way to try this again. And hopefully your nerdlinger won't try to interrupt us again.”
“Okay, Wade. What is it that couldn't wait?” Kim asked, still annoyed by the interruption.
“Well, you got another hit on your site. Apparently there's a something that's being developed called the Metamorphose Alteration Ray. It's their top project and they're moving everything to another lab. And they want you to guard it tomorrow until they get the security system set up.”
“Wade, you could have waited until lunch. I gave you a basic schedule of what we were going to do today. And I know that I listed when we'd be at lunch.”
Wade looked at Kim blankly for a minute. “You gave me a schedule?” Kim nodded in annoyance. “Hmm. I think I might have accidentally put it with a stack of papers my mom threw out last night.”
Kim groaned, placing a hand on her forhead. “Why didn't you put it on your computer like so many other things you do?”
“Sorry, I think I forgot about it.”
“Okay,” Kim sighed. “Anything else?”
“Well, Global Justice was wanting to talk to Shego sometime.”
“That it?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, call my parents next time and leave a message on the next hit, unless someone's coming straight for me, okay?”
“Gotcha Kim.”
Kim was glad that was over. Even though it ended pretty well, she might have been looking for another person to keep an eye on her website if Wade had actually been in front of her. Kim then sighed and walked back to Shego, who was standing next to their car. “So what did he want?”
“Someone wants me for guard duty tomorrow and Global Justice apparently wants to talk with you,” Kim answered. “I'm more annoyed that he lost the schedule of mine I wrote down for him so this wouldn't happen.”
“You gave him a schedule?” Kim nodded. “Then couldn't I have asked him to tell me what you had planned?”
Kim shook her head. “No, I didn't put down any specifics. I just listed times when I didn't want him calling me.”
“And that was one of those times, right?” Shego asked, opening the car door for Kim.
“Yeah, but I'm sure he won't bother us again tonight. I told him to only call us if someone was coming for us.”
“Well, I'm sure something else will happen to ruin out day,” Shego joked, closing the door and walking around to the driver's side.
“Please, don't jinx it,” Kim asked. Especially with her luck some other mission might come up. “Let's just continue to enjoy our day.”
Shego nodded as they got into the car. As soon as Shego started it the familiar chime of the Kimmunicator sounded. “Forget something Wade?” Kim asked, her tone betraying how irritated she was.
“Actually, Global Justice just called. They said they want Shego for an assignment tomorrow.”
“Is that all?” Shego asked, starting the car up and pulling out.
“Yeah. They'll brief you on the details when you show up tomorrow.”
“Is that what they wanted to talk with me about?”
“Huh?”
“When you last spoke with Kim, you said that they wanted to talk with me about something.”
“Oh that. Actually, I don't know. I think it might, but since they don't have that on their computers, I can't really say.”
“Fine. Just try not to interrupt our day for the rest of the day. We've had enough interruptions this past year as it is.”
“Sorry. I'll try to not bother you unless it's urgent.”
“Please and thank you,” Kim said, turning the Kimmunicator off.
“Should we chuck that thing out the window?” Shego asked, her hand hovering about the button to roll the window down.
Kim thought about it for a moment. “Maybe we should keep it. Especially since Wade hasn't been the only one interrupting our dates.”
Shego nodded her assent. “Yeah, some of your enemies seem to find ways to let us know that they want to go to the hospital quickly.”
“So, why does Global Justice want you for an assignment?” Kim asked, as she put down her fork, finished with her lunch.
“I never told you?”
“Told me what?”
“What I have to do for Global Justice helping me out?”
“I know you've wanted to tell me something, but whenever you start to, something always happens.”
“Hmm. Well, I guess now's as good a time as any,” Shego answered. After a deep breath, she continued. “One part of the deal is that I have to be on call for whenever Global Justice needs my help with anything. Essentially I'm there to do whatever they ask me to do, even if it's interrupting my plans.”
“At least that explains why you seem to disappear at times.”
Shego nodded, taking a drink of water. “Yeah, they usually seem to have the worst timing. Even your computer buddy seems to have better timing than they do.”
“Any idea of what they might want?” Kim asked, watching Shego finish up the last bites of her lunch.
Shego shook her head. “No, they've always told me what it is whenever I show up.”
“So, what do you have planned for us after lunch?” Kim asked, hoping to get a piece of the surprise before hand. Besides, Shego tried earlier, so turnabout like this is fair play.
“Sorry Princess. You didn't give me any hints like that, so you're not getting any either,” Shego answered. Then paused for a moment as she realized something. “And don't even start with that puppy dog pout. If you do you can just forget about the rest of the evening.”
Kim was surprised. Yeah, she had been going to use the pout, but she didn't expect that harsh of a threat. Yeah, she'd made threats before, but they hadn't been near as harsh as that one. It must really be a big surprise, Kim thought to herself. Especially with how much Shego seems to have invested in it. Heck, it seemed to Kim like she'd been working on this since last month at the earliest.
“Sorry,” Shego apologized quickly.
Kim reached out and took Shego's hand. “It's okay. I know you've been working on this for a while. It's only natural that you'd be stressed about it.”
“Maybe,” Shego conceded. Kim smiled because Shego insisting that she was wrong definitely would've been so unlike her, Kim wasn't sure what she'd think of that. Especially with how well she's gotten to know Shego's little quirks like she has through the past year.
“When do we go?” Kim asked.
“Patience Pumpkin. We'll get there soon enough,” Shego answered with a smirk.
Kim signed and followed Shego's lead as she stood up, releasing her hand in the process. Then on their way out the door, Kim felt Shego's hand reach and rest on her waist.
“Why do I have to wear this?” Kim asked in utter disbelief, holding a blond wig.
“Relax, Princess,” Shego said, pulling out some skin colored make-up and applying it to her face. “I'll be in disguise as well.”
“But, why? Why can't we just go wherever this is like we are?”
Shego paused in putting the make-up on her face and turned to Kim. “Because I don't want others to know that I'd actually do this. The disguises have nothing to do with you, but rather me.” Then she started putting the make-up on again.
Kim had to admit that Shego having a half green face and a half normal skin colored face was a little freaky. It wasn't something that she'd hope to see again soon. But, her curiosity was peaked about what Shego wouldn't want others to know about. After all, Kim was the one who'd been uneasy about being open about their relationship while Shego seemed almost carefree about it all. Kim didn't really like the idea of wearing a disguise, but until she knew what Shego was going on about, she figured that she'd need to do this, if only for Shego.
After she finished, Kim looked over at Shego and was surprised at the change. Shego definitely didn't look like she usually did. She looked almost like Kim imagined she would have if the comet hadn't changed her skin to a pale green and changed her hair to a green so dark that it was almost black. It was really amazing to Kim. Although, she was caught off guard as Shego's hand flared up and she began to touch her face.
“What're you doing?” Kim asked, curiously.
“I'm just drying the make up a little so if it brushes against something, it won't wipe off.”
Kim accepted that reasoning. Especially since Shego was taking great cares to create the perfect disguise for both of them, it wouldn't do to have it so easily ruined. Kim was also glad that she understood why Shego wanted to park in a parking garage like this, when there's only stores and office buildings directly around it. They wouldn't be easily followed like that. Although, Kim was wondering if Shego was just being paranoid or if she really thought that someone would be following them.
Regardless of the reasoning, Kim was still happy to be able to spend some time with Shego and gain this glimpse of the woman that she loved so much. When they were out of the car and behind it, Shego took Kim's arm. “I'm sure you'll like the surprise I have for us,” Shego whispered to Kim.
Kim couldn't help but smile. The day wasn't turning out at all like she thought it might. It was so much better. However, as they were about to leave the car, Shego turned to Kim. “Do you have your Kimmunicator with you?” Kim nodded. “Leave it here. I don't want anyone to be able to trace that thing to find us where we're going.”
Kim was a little confused, but she knew that Shego wasn't going to try anything like kidnapping her, as she probably would have thought while Ron was still around. But, she still wondered what it was that Shego was going to great lengths to keep others from knowing. It certainly was intriguing.
As they walked out of the parking garage, Kim noticed that no one paid them any particular attention. It certainly seemed like the disguises were working. Or at least she thought they were, since she wondered if anyone would act differently if it was obvious that they were in disguise. However, Kim didn't have too much time to think about it, since Shego was already gently tugging her arm.
Kim hadn't really been up to Upperton that much. Even though she lived relatively close, she had really only come up here when she had been on a mission. Which was only once or twice. So, she knew that she'd likely need to let Shego direct them, as she might get them lost if she was to pick out the direction.
They didn't have to walk very far. Shego seemed to be directing them to a building that Kim wouldn't have thought Shego would consider going to now that she was reformed. Although, it did explain why she wanted the disguises that she had them put on. The Upperton Art Museum was standing in front of them; however, it seemed that it was closed. Which surprised Kim, becuase it didn't seem to bother Shego much. But, she also knew that Shego probably had everything in hand, so she didn't worry.
Shego did seem determined to enter the museum, regardless of the fact that it was closed. However, Kim was surprised to see someone come out to greet them when they approached.
“I'm so glad you could make it,” the man said, holding the door for them.
“Is everything in order?” Shego asked as they walked in.
“Yes. Everything is exactly as you requested.”
Kim looked at Shego as saw her smiling at the man. “Good. We'll let you know if we need anything else.”
“Yes, of course,” the man answered, then moved to lock the doors and then left.
Kim couldn't contain her curiosity anymore. “Okay, what just happened?”
Shego laughed. “I rented the entire museum for both of us.”
Kim was shocked. Where did Shego get that kind of money when she'd given all of the money in her bank accounts to the government when she made the deal with Global Justice? It just didn't make any sense to her. “Shego-” Kim started, but was cut off by Shego.
“Relax. I may have given up all of the money in my bank accounts, but that doesn't mean that was all the finances that I had. I mean, I'd have to be pretty stupid to let that much money sit in a bank when I could invest it in so many different ways.”
Kim thought about that for a moment as Shego began leading Kim around. There was so much that Kim's senses were being assaulted with at once, that she was almost overwhelmed. It seemed that Shego really liked to view art, but didn't like others knowing about it. Part of Kim wondered how Shego was able to set this up without letting anyone know about her interest in art. But this certainly was a surprise, since before this Kim wouldn't really have thought that she would have been into art. Maybe for how valuable a lot of it was, but not like this. It certainly said a lot to Kim with how she was willing to share this with her.
They passed from one section to another. Kim didn't say anything as they looked at the various pieces of art, mostly pottery and sculptures in this area, she just enjoyed the feel of Shego right next to her as they walked around the mostly empty museum. As they entered an exhibit that seemed like it was gong to leave soon, Kim wondered what Shego liked most at the museum.
The exhibit seemed to be art that was entirely based on mythical creatures. In the center of one room, was a statue of a griffin. It's wings spread wide with it's head held up. And right beneath it was a bench. Shego directed Kim towards the bench and they sat down. “So, what do you think so far?” Shego asked as they sat down.
“I'm not sure,” came the answer. “How long have we been here?”
“Not long enough, princess,” Shego said, moving her arm around Kim's shoulders, and pulling her close.
“I was surprised to see that you were taking me here,” Kim commented after thinking for a moment. “But I'm wondering what you like best here? We've been through so many different pieces, but I can't figure out which you'd like the most.”
Shego chuckled as she turned her head to Kim. “I'm saving that for the last place we're visiting here.” Shego tapped Kim on the nose with the tip of her finger. “But, I'm not going to tell you before then.”
Shego laughed at Kim's reaction. “Come on! Please!” she begged.
“You'll find out soon enough, cupcake.”
Kim scowled at her girlfriend. “Why not now?” she asked, apparently not wanting to let Shego hold back anything about it.
“Because you'll find out soon enough,” Shego answered, still recovering from laughing.
Kim pulled away from Shego and started to walk around the room, leaving Shego on the bench, just watching. Kim looked at the various paintings along the walls. Some were of shipwrecks and various mythical creatures that were supposed to have dwelt in the sea. Some were full pictures of mermaids near the shore with onlookers waving at them while others were of giant tentacles reaching out from the ocean to drag ships down to the depths. However, the painting that caught Kim's eye the most was of two centaurs fighting. One was had a chestnut colored body with red hair, while the other was a black with black hair, although the oddest part about that one was it's skin that seemed to be tinted a little green. Kim called Shego over to look at it. Since both centaurs were female, Kim could have almost sworn that the centaurs in the picture were supposed to be her and Shego. The only difference was that they didn't have the bodies of horses. It was uncanny.
“What is it?” Shego asked as she came over. “You do know that you should be quieter in a museum?”
“But, we're the only ones here,” Kim protested. Although, when she saw Shego smirking at her, she realized that the woman was just teasing her. So, she turned her attention back to the painting. “Doesn't this sorta look like us?”
Shego paused next to Kim. After a moment of study, Shego answered her. “Yeah, it kinda does. Even the skin of the other centaur looks sorta like mine.”
“Weird,” Kim commented.
“Yeah,” Shego agreed. “It's kinda interesting how pieces of art can seem to get so close sometimes, huh?”
Kim nodded, looking at when it was recorded to have been created. 1845.
They continued on from that painting and continued looking around. Kim noticed that it was starting to get dark outside as they passed a window. Not that she cared, but she was still surprised at how long they'd been there.
“One more exhibit and we'll head out,” Shego said as they moved on to the next area.
As they entered Kim was surprised to see what the paintings exhibited. All of it was various places away from any city or civilization. Several were of mountain sunsets while others were of the sea. Kim moved away from Shego and looked around. Out of everything that she could have thought of, this wasn't what she had imagined Shego to be interested in as much.
Finally, after a few minutes, Kim made her way over to Shego. “This is what you like best?”
Shego nodded. Kim looked at her, still a little confused, so Shego directed her over to a painting depicting a sunrise by a mountain forest. “Here you can see that it's morning in this painting. There isn't any need to worry or even rush, because there's plenty of time to get things done. Not that there's a lot to do if you're actually there.” Shego then moves Kim over to a sunset at sea. “Then here you can see the sun setting over the water while fish move through the water and you can tell that you can relax because they day's over and there isn't a reason to let any stress get to you.” The next painting Shego directed Kim to was one where a deer was grazing in a forest glade with the sun shining down. Sunbeams illuminating the surrounding area. “And here we have a place that's calm and no need to feel threatened. Everything is calm and there's no danger anywhere around. It's okay to feel safe here.”
“I get what you're saying, Shego,” Kim said. “But I still don't understand why it all means so much to you.”
Shego sighed and was silent for a moment before answering Kim. “It's just that I feel like I can relax here and let the world disappear because I'm alone and I don't have to deal with anyone. This is where I can feel completely free of the world.”
“Even me?” Kim asked with a teasing tone.
Shego appeared to think about it for a moment, before answering with a smirk on her face. “Nah, I think I'll keep you around even there.”
Kim laughed. Then a thought occurred to Kim. “Shego, didn't we go to the museum of modern art when you were my teacher and your brothers had been turned evil?”
“Kimmie if anyone else asks, I was under the influence of the attitudinator and wasn't thinking straight. But, yeah, we did go there.”
Kim laughed a bit more. It really seemed like Shego was still trying to maintain her image, even though she'd already practically announced it to the world by working with GJ so they could be together. “So, if Ron hadn't dropped the attitudinator and you didn't change back, what was the rest of the sentence going to be?”
Shego pulled Kim close as she answered. “I think you should be able to figure that out, pumpkin. I've already finished that sentence. Even though it wasn't exactly the same way that I was going to put it then.”
Kim snuggled into Shego's embrace. “Anything else you want to look at here?”
“Actually, this was the last exhibit on our little tour. Next stop is where we're having dinner.”
“You're not going to give me any hints on where that's going to be, are you?” Kim asked as they turned towards the doors.
“Well, I'll just let you know that it'll be almost like us coming here. Just without the disguises,” Shego answered with a wink.
“As long as you don't want me to pretend I'm twelve.”
Shego stopped. “What?”
“Huh?”
“Why would I want you to act like you were twelve?”
“Oh, it was something that Ron had me do a few times because he had coupons and no money.”
Shego groaned. “And you actually liked him?”
“Hey, he was starting to get better at being a boyfriend,” Kim answered, defending Ron.
“I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist.”
Kim smiled. It was fine as long as it was in good humor and not serious mocking.
Kim waited until they were at the car to pull her wig off. “Enjoy yourself, princess?” Shego asked.
“Yeah, that was fun.”
“Good, but before we go to the restauraunt, we'll swing by your place. The dress I ordered for you should have arrived by now.”
Kim was speechless. “You didn't have to go that far for me.”
Shego enjoyed the cute little blush spreading across the face of her favorite redhead. “Well, we'll first need to see how the dress looks on you,” Shego answered, as if either believed that she really cared about that.
After they returned home and both had changed, they were on their way. Kim was shocked at how exquisite the dress was. It was a pearly white that was irridescent in several places. It almost made Kim seem like she was actually glowing. The material was certainly silk and it fit almost like a second skin. The sleeves came to the elbows and the skirt flowed down to Kim's ankles and just seemed to float just off the ground. Almost giving the illusion of Kim floating instead of walking. Shego's was a lot more plain, in Shego's opinion, at least, but Kim thought it was just as gorgeous. It was a light green dress that had black accents which fit Shego's figure perfectly. Kim was pretty sure that it was silk as well. The sleeves came all halfway to her elbows, but appeared to become part of the arm when they ended. The skirt was just as long and while it didn't give the same illusion as Kim's did, it still seemed to suit Shego just as perfectly.
“You're perfect, my little angel,” Shego told Kim when they pulled away from the house. Shego was driving. So Kim wouldn't try to figure out where they were going as Shego would have then been giving directions.
“You're not so bad yourself,” Kim answered, smiling at Shego's compliment.
The drive didn't seem very long and it really wasn't. It was just towards an area that Kim didn't even know existed. Kim was in shock as they drew nearer to the restauraunt. “I didn't think they had anything like this around here,” Kim breathed.
“Yeah, this is sort of an anomaly being in Lowerton like this,” Shego commented. “But I think people don't like needing to drive all the way to Upperton for some of these things.”
Kim nodded. Even living in Middleton, the drive to Upperton could be a pain at times.
When they finally parked, they were in for another surprise. However, this wasn't one that Shego had even thought might happen.
“Shego! I've finally found you!” It was Drakken in his hovercar just above the restauraunt. “You have no idea how upsetting it was to find that you were captured by Global Justice just after you quit. And it took forever for me to learn that you were being held prisoner by Kim Possible of all people!” Shego was trying to get a word in edgewise, after she'd recovered from her shock. However, Drakken didn't seem to notice. He just kept going on. “But don't worry. I'll soon have you saved.”
Shego wasn't willing to see what Drakken was going to do to ‘save’ her, since whatever it was, it would likely ruin her plans with Kim that evening. Especially since those reservations weren't easy to get! So, she did what always got Drakken's attention. She sent a plasma blast at him, which hit him directly in his chest. It didn't hit hard, but it certainly was enough to get him to get quiet and listen to Shego.
“Listen up, Dr. D! I turned myself into Global Justice. And I'm currently going out with Kim Possible. In fact, I was starting to go out with her when I quit! And I'm not in need of rescuing, so you can stop trying to find me.”
“But I love you Shego!” Drakken cried out, interrupting her. “And I know you wouldn't have stayed with me as long as you had if you didn't feel the same way!”
Shego was stunned. Is that what he thought? “I'm sorry Dr. D, but I've only been interested in other girls. And the only reason I stayed was because I didn't have any better prospects at the time.”
Drakken looked crestfallen. Shego really felt bad for him as did Kim. He didn't bother replying. He just had the hovercar drift off towards the Rocky Mountains.
Shego and Kim watched him for a few minutes until he disappeared into the darkening evening. “Um, should we continue in?” Kim asked.
“We might as well,” Shego answered, sounding as distracted as Kim was. “I don't want to go through the trouble with getting those reservations again.”
Author's Notes: Well, I thought that a pleasant day for Kim and Shego was in order before I start getting into the main parts of the story. But I hope that this will be as successful as the first part of this series. Although, I'm not really sure how many chapters I'm going to have for this. But, there will be a bit more action in this one than the last. And part of this is in response to a challenge at the kpshlashhaven and part of it's because so many wanted a sequel to Behind Enemy Arms and the ideas just sort of merged. Anyway, please leave a review and let me know how I did.
