A/N: Wow, the response for this has been overwhelming. To Zaratan, my friend and beta, thanks for posting this on the KP Slash Haven for me. To all of the people from the boards who have left me with your kind comments and reviews, I can’t say thank you enough. This little one shot has now gotten ideas in my head that are driving me crazy, and you guys keep adding more, especially you Lex! Damn Lesbian Vampire Ninja Pirates! No one got the importance of the teacher’s name, so I will tell you here. The name was Latin, and translated meant “fear of unknown”. A lot of the fear from homosexuals comes from this, at least in my opinion. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.


The unusual group of Ron, Monique, Tara, Bonnie, Kim, and Shego walked into Bueno Nacho and picked out a table. As Ron went to place their order, Monique looked over at Tara and Bonnie. “So, you two are together, huh?”

Bonnie stiffened in her seat a little, and then relaxed as Tara placed a hand on hers. “Yes. Why do you want to know?”

“Just curious. Tara’s a good influence on you Bonnie; I don’t think I’ve heard you insult anyone for the past hour.”

“Mon, lay off of her. I forgave her and it is in the past. No need to bring it up again, okay?” Kim put on her “mission face” so that everyone knew she was serious.

“I was just making a point. Chill Girlfr… Kim.”

Shego smiled at this. “Better.”

“Shego, you do know that is my girlfriend your threatening right?” Ron had returned with the food and was busy passing out Nacos and drinks.

“Shut up Stoppable. I’m not threatening, I’m mildly encouraging.”

“God… putting you two within five feet of each other was a mistake.”

“Come one KP, you know I’m kidding. Shego…well, she’s Shego.”

Kim began banging her head on the table slightly, only to hit Shego’s hand on the fourth time. “Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it. I would hate for people to think I was being nice.”

Kim sighed then leaned over on Shego’s shoulder. “But you are, when you want to be.”

“Am not.”

“Are too.”

“Am not.”

“Are…mmmph.” Shego had decided that she would end the argument by giving Kim a kiss, and it seemed to be working. All of a sudden, she quickly pulled away, and began eating. “Okay, your not.” The group laughed and ate there meal, and never noticed the man outside hide something in his jacket as he jumped in his car and drove away.


That night, Kim and Shego decided to go on their first “date” and see a movie. As they were both action people, they decided to see the double feature showing of Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2. After that, they went out to eat; nothing too fancy, but not fast food either. Kim and Shego also discovered that their days of fighting might be over, but the verbal battle went on.

What made the night perfect, in Kim’s opinion, was the walk in the park afterwards. She had found a certain spot, secluded from the rest of the area by the trees. It was a small, flat area, facing the lake. She had never shared this place with anyone, not even Ron. Sharing it with Shego now…just felt right. There was no other way to describe it. As she lay against the older woman and stared at the reflection of the stars, the couple felt completely at peace. Considering who was in this particular couple, that was saying something.


Rex Harper found himself sitting with a client. Normally, he didn’t trust others work, but this guy had come through for him before. “Alright Jack, what you got his time? It better not be another damn shot of that Jason Jones guy.”

“Nah, this time I got something that will really make your day. Who’s the one person that every paparazzi in the world wants to get a shot of them doing something sleazy?”

“Easy. Kim Possible. Guys have staked their entire careers on trying to get shots of her. Nothing ever works. She’s either doing something for a mission that’s on the news later that night or being a perfect little goody two shoes. It’s a fool’s errand. No photographer has ever done it.”

“Yeah, but none of them were me, now were they?” Jack threw a pile of photos on the desk, and Rex picked them up and began rifling through them. As he looked at the shots, he began going faster and faster, finally stopping, and a greedy glint in his eye.

“How much you want?”

“10,000, plus 30 percent from the sales.”

Rex leaned back and began thinking. That would be a lot of money, but if these sold as well as he thought it would, he stood a chance to gain double that.

“Deal.”

“You got the funds available? No money, no pics.”

“Come with me to the studio. I got enough for the 10 G’s. I’ll through the extra money into your Swiss account.”

“You better, or I’ll tell the entire community your shots are mine.”

“Fair enough.”


Kim lay down the next day in the living room, watching the tweebs playing with a new invention. God help us if they ever turn to evil. The world would never be safe. Shego was in the shower, washing up…Bad Kim! BAD! No thinking those thoughts in front of the tweebs. Reluctantly, Kim turned her mind to a safer subject, more precisely, the news that was about to start. Friday night was the one time Kim let herself stay up late. She could always sleep in a little. She zoned out and was drifting in and out of the waking world, when one certain phrase caught her attention.

“Coming up after the break; Kim Possible. World famous super hero, expert martial artist, and…dating a villainess? Details coming up next.”

That got her attention. As she snapped her head up, she just caught a glimpse of Shego and her exiting the movie theater, arm in arm. She flipped over the couch and rushed up the stairs heading for the bathroom. Throwing open the door, she rushed in. “SHEGO! You have to come, they…”

Shego stood, a towel wrapped around her bossy, in front of the mirror. Kim stared for a few moments, and then Shego spoke up. “Enjoying the view Princess?” Kim immediately blushed the color of her hair, and jumped back outside. “So what’s so important that you have to burst in on my shower time?”

“Um…You…you might want to put some cloths on really quick. You know how you said you wanted the whole world to know? Well, I think the news is taking care of it for us.” Kim heard a muffled curse and watched as a fully clothed Shego opened the door 30 seconds later.

“Say what?”

“Maybe we should just go watch.”

As the two went into the living room, the news came back on. They sat down together on the couch, and the report began.

“Kim Possible is a world renowned super-hero. Savior of the world on more than one occasion, so has a reputation of doing no wrong. So what, ladies and gentleman, is this?” Images flashed through the screen of Shego and Kim, arm in arm, kissing at BN, watching the movie, laughing together, almost there entire day. Kim watched in a growing feeling of horror that was quickly replaced with anger. The report went on to detail the many encounters that Shego had with Kim and her many threats to the world as the sidekick to Dr. Drakken. In all fairness, they did mention that Shego had been pardoned as long as she kept her nose clean, but innuendo and hints laced the entire report. She felt Shego becoming just as angry as her, and grabbed her hands to keep them from lighting up and burning anything. Shego didn’t burn anything, but if looks could kill, everyone within a five mile radius would be dead.

“How can they do this?” Kim was shocked that they were parading around her personal life like it should be public knowledge. “Don’t they need our permission for this stuff?”

“Fraid not Kimmie. We were in public, and as long as no voices are recorded, they can put up whatever they want without asking. Bastards can take as many snapshots of us as they want, so long as they don’t trespass.”

“But still…” Kim’s eyes took on a malicious glare. She grabbed the Kimmunicator from the table and called Wade. “Hey Wade. Have you seen the news?”

“Yeah. Let me guess. BN security tapes to see who took the picture there, then match his profile against the paparazzi files?”

“Not bad kid. Can you get away with hacking BN’s computers though?” Shego looked almost impressed at Wade’s abilities.

“While I could, and easily, I don’t need to. Ever since you and Drakken tried to use it to rule the world and Kim stopped you, they give us free run of there systems anytime I want.”

“Must be nice.”

“You have no idea…Done! Guy reads as a Jack Raptor. Doesn’t publish the pictures he takes himself, but sells them to another guy named Rex Harper. Made a good bit of money for him doing it to and Harper is even better off. What do you want me to do with this stuff?”

“Send it here; I’m going to make another call.”

“Sure thing, it’s on your computer printer now. Oh, and you might want to change your diary password again, the tweebs are on their reading about your night with Shego to see if the report was true.”

“Thanks Wade…hey, how do YOU know that they’re reading it? Wade…”

“Bye Kim!” The screen went dark, and Kim angrily punched the buttons to get through to Dr. Director as she walked up the stairs. “Tim, Jim. OUT!”

“Hicka bicka Boo?”

“Hoo-sha.”

As the two went down the stairs and Shego came up, Kim heard the start to sing. “Kim and Shego sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-AAAHH.” The sound of a thrown plasma ball, and the twins were running away.

Shego smiled, and then looked at Kim’s face. “Oh relax, will ya? It was pure light, no heat attached. They, however, don’t know that.”

Kim was unable to respond however, as Dr. Director appeared on the screen. “Kim, I am assuming you are calling because of that news reel.”

“Kind of. Can you let me talk to Team Impossible?”

“Of course. One moment.”

A few seconds of horrible “please hold” music followed. Shego snorted. “The world’s number one spy organization and they can’t find better music?”

Crash spoke up from the tiny speakers. “Why fix what isn’t broken. It’s not cost effective. What can I help you with Miss Possible?”

“You saw the news report?”

“The entire complex saw the report, why?”

Kim pressed a few buttons. “These are the guys responsible. I was wondering…”


Rex set back in his chair, relaxing for the day. The money he made from selling those pictures, even with Jack’s cut, was more than enough to tide him over for the rest of the year. Right now, he was looking over a series of cruise packages, trying to decide between the Bahamas and the Caribbean. So much money and so many things to do. Hell, I can go on both and not be strained for cash. He looked up when he noticed that his lights were starting to flicker. Looking around, he noticed that it wasn’t just his lights; it was every piece of electronics equipment he owned.

Suddenly, everything from his light-bulbs, to his TV, and even his computer exploded in a shower of sparks and glass. The one remaining monitor of a three system set lit up, ad began displaying a message, without anyone typing on it.

You messed with one of our own. Lay off Kim Possible and her life, or the next thing you know, the only pictures you’ll be able to sell will be at a Wal-Mart to a family of 12.

“It’s done Kim. Anything else you need?”

“No, I think that should scare the rest of them off, considering Wade is sending that message plus an image taken from the guy’s web cam to every known paparazzi on the planet.”

“That kid has some good connections.”

“Remember what Ron said. Wade has the world wired.”

“True enough. Good-bye Miss Possible.”

“Bye.”

As she closed the link, Shego stared slack-jawed at Kim. “And people say that I’m evil.”


A/N Mark 2: Another chapter. This idea just popped in my head last night, as something that would more than likely happen if news of Kim and Shego’s relationship got out in the open. For those that say Kim is acting OOC, maybe, but she is VERY protective of their loved ones. Remember that she traveled to the far corners of the globe looking for Ron during “A Very Possible Christmas.” The next chapter is not going to be out as fast as these last ones have been, as I am working on my other fics as well. Until next time.

Peace and Out,

Pwn Master Paladin
