“Wait….Dad wants to level the planet?”
Shannon nodded.
“The whole thing?”
The pale woman nodded again.
“But…he’s so anti-violent.”
Shannon sighed, “The comet didn’t give him any special powers…but the near-death experience he had changed him…Now he wants everything dead.”
Shego sat back in her seat, trying to come to terms with it all. She had her parents again. But one was dead and the other wanted to kill everything.
It was a bit much for most people, but even for someone who thought she’d seen everything, it was more than she could handle right then.
Kim looked over at her mother who was flipping through channel after channel, with a frown on her face.
“Mom…what’s wrong?”
The woman sighed and shook her head, “It’s nothing dear…just some silly feeling in the back of my mind. Nothing to worry about.”
“Oh…” Kim bit her lip and tried to think, but found herself drifting back to the thought of the women in the kitchen. “Do you think they are doing okay in there? It’s been a while since we heard anything…”
Anne smiled, “It’s good to know things are still holding up well between you...…I was worried about the two of you when you told me she was back to normal...Or as normal as the two of you can be from the sound of things. I can tell because you worry...so don't worry, I can't read your mind...yet.” It was hard to resist the mischievous urges she was getting from the back of her mind. She gave into them, and let one idea bubble to the surface, “It’s really sweet that you two are dating and everything, but no getting pregnant, you hear?”
Kim’s face went pale at the thought, “Mom…that’s creepy….like beyond creepy….Like ‘Never say it again’ creepy.”
The woman giggled a little, “Kim, it’s a fairly young millennium, anything is possible, even women impregnant another woman.”
“Ew. Ew. EWWWWW.” Kim’s face twisted at the thought, “Mom…I am not going to get pregnant…besides…I haven’t had sex…with anyone yet.”
“You’re still young.”
“And you’re still a creepy mother. I don’t really want children. Growing up with the Tweebs fixed that a long time ago.”
The older Possible snickered a little at her daughter’s discomfort with children, despite the teenager's previous occupation of babysitting. It felt good to see what she used to be when she was her daughter’s age. She’d grown out of it, but it was still funny to see in action, especially since her daughter looked a lot like she used too.
“So you’re dead and Dad’s trying to level this twisted chunk of rock I thought couldn’t get any crazier. Great…So…any more surprises?”
Shannon thought about it carefully, trying to decide if she should be a creepy parent or a comforting one.
It was very hard to choose.
“Mom…?”
“I slept with Kim’s mother.”
It was the first, and possibly the only time that anyone had ever said something that stunned Shego into complete silence in the history of her life.
“So…Mom…what’s the deal between you and Shego’s mom?”
“Nothing much…we met once in college.”
Kim glared at the woman with a raised eyebrow, “I know that look. I mastered that look when I was two.”
“And who do you think you got it from?”
The teenager glared at her mother, “That. Is. So. Not. The. Point. Mother. I know that look very well…you’re hiding something.”
“And if I tell you, you’ll complain about hearing it, and then complain that I shouldn’t have said it.” Anne was almost smug about it as she spoke.
“I will not.”
“Will too.”
“Will not.”
“Will too.”
“Will not.”
“Will not.”
“Will too. Wait I mean-” Kim stopped for a moment, “You’re despicable you know that? Just tell me Mom, I’m the one asking for it.”
Anne inhaled deeply, “Once upon a time I was drunk and met a pale dark brown haired woman in a bar…she and I had the most passionate night of our lives…That woman is Shego’s mother….And I never completely let go of her…happy?”
Kim’s eyes were watering a little, “Tha…That is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard when it comes to you and relationships…usually it’s creepy, but that was sweet.” The teenager hugged her mother tenderly, trying to keep herself from crying, small sniffles coming from her as she buried her face in her mother’s shoulder.
Shego forced herself not to shudder, “Why must you be so creepy? I mean GAH!”
Shannon shrugged innocently, “I figured once you found out I was dead it couldn’t get any creepier.”
Shego glared at the pale woman across the table from her, “Mom, you being dead is weird, Dad wanting to destroy everything is just a touch bit creepy, but that…that was fucking wrong.”
“Sara….”
“No, I’m not going to watch my language…and I’m not Sara…Sara died when you did…I’m Shego.”
Shego got up and stormed out of the kitchen and into the living room. “Mrs. Possible…sorry to interrupt your touching moment you and Kim are having….I…I need to go for a walk.”
No one had time to protest before she was gone.
It took Kim only a second to slip on her shoes to try and catch the woman, but the pale green woman was gone already. She sighed and stood on the front steps in her pajamas, trying to think what to do next.
A jacket was wrapped around her shoulders, causing her to look behind her. It was Anne, with an upset Shannon pacing the living room behind her. “Go, find Shego…I’ll make sure Shannon doesn’t do anything outrageous, alright?”
Kim nodded and slid her arms through the sleeves, taking off to the only place she could think of to find the woman.
The park.
Kim collapsed on a bench, exhausted. She had spent her time searching the park, then the mall, then every bus stop, subway stop, the airport, even the skate park. She was exhausted from doing it all on foot, and frowned in disappointment. The woman she cared about was missing, and she couldn’t find her anywhere.
Damn it Shego…where are you? Great…I lost her TWICE in the same day…first I lose Sara…then Shego disappears. I wonder if God’s laughing somewhere about this.
Knowing my luck right now, he is.
Bastard.
A/N: Short chapter I know, but this is all this chapter covers….Parents can be so creepy it’s not funny. I’m speaking from experience on that too…which is what makes it so easy to draw off of that. >>;;
The 'Will Too/Will Not' arguement is a tribute to Looney Toons Daffy and Bugs mostly, hence the almost classic style. XD
