“Kimmiecub?” Mrs. Dr. Possible knocked on her daughter’s door and entered to find Kim sobbing in to her pillow. “Oh Kim.” She hugged her tightly as she had done to Shego earlier in the day. “It’ll be ok. You don’t need her…” It had slipped out before she could think. Kim stiffened and pushed her mother away.
“How did you know?”
Mrs. Possible sighed. “I’ve known about the two of you for weeks. Your teacher told me you’d been cutting class so I followed you.”
“It was you.” Kim growled, clenching her fists. “You made her say those things!” Kim Possible had never so much as raised her voice to her mother, but as she stood staring at the cause of her pain she was ready to kill.
Her mother shook her head. “I just made her see sense Kim. She’s a bad influence on you! She was only ever going to drag you down- Kim!” Mrs. Possible shouted after her daughter as she pushed past her and rushed out of the house.
When she arrived at Shego’s apartment it was almost midnight and she was soaked to the bone from the storm that had been raging all evening. When the villainess opened the door and found her sniffling on her doorstep her eyes went wide and she pulled the girl in to her apartment. “What the hell happened to you?” She dragged her in to the living room, not giving her the chance to explain. Momentarily forgetting what had occurred the last time the teenager had been to see her Shego began undressing her in front of the lit fire and rushed in to her bedroom to retrieve some of the clothes the red head had left their.
It was as she finished changing Kim, with her face so close to the younger girl’s that she remembered why it was a bad idea to be so close to her. “What are you doing here?” She tried to harden her gaze and act uninterested but it was too late to pretend.
“I know.” Kim muttered before curling up in Shego’s lap and wrapping her arms around Shego’s neck to pull her closer. Shego stiffened and cautiously wrapped her arms around the girl, as though it were some robot Mrs. Possible had sent to trick her. “Mum told you to say those things. She thought she was doing what was right, but she has no idea…” Kim sobbed in to her shoulder. “How much it hurts when I’m not with you.”
“Kim-“
“I’m quitting Team Possible.” Kim pulled back so she was staring Shego square in the face. “I want to move out too…I want to live with you. We don’t need my family Shego, or Ron or any of them, just each other.”
Shego sighed and picked Kim off of her lap and pulled her to her feet. “Princess. You’ve just proved she was right.” Kim’s eyes went wide and teary as Shego’s words sank in. “She said I’d pull you down to my level. That you’d give up on the world just for me-“
“No! Stop talking like that Shego!” Kim snapped. “We don’t have to listen to her anymore.” Shego shook her head and forced her words out.
“I’m bad for you Kimmie. You’ve been lying to your parents and skipping school…now you’re turning your back on people who need you.”
“What about me?” Kim snapped. “What about what I need? YOU!”
Shego pulled her in tight as she began to cry. “Princess, you don’t need me. You can be better than this…than me.” Kim clung to her waist and refused to let go when Shego tried to pull away.
“I can’t do this without you Shego. I love you.”
Shego looked up at Mrs. Possible who stood in the open doorway of her apartment and held the sobbing teenager. “I love you too Princess.” She tipped her chin up to kiss her and closed her eyes, savouring the moment and committing it to memory. “But as much as I hate, your mom’s right. I’m not good for you.”
End.
