Dawn rose on the possible household and Kim slowly awoke as the curtain filtered sunlight hit her eyes. Kim sat up slowly, groaning as she lifted her right hand to her forehead. “Oh my head.” she grumbled as she rubbed it. Then the memories of the night before came crashing back with force, tripling her headache. Kim’s eyes narrowed, “How dare she! Why did she kiss me in the first place let alone think she could knock me out straight afterwards!” Kim’s face went red with barely suppressed anger. “She didn’t even give me a chance to tell her that I didn’t mind it but seeing as she knocked me out straight afterwards she must not have liked it. Oh she’ll pay for knocking me out.”
While Kim was having this discussion with herself Shego was having an interesting dream.
Shego’s Dream
She was standing in a dark room with a single light trained on her, “Kimmie! Kimmie! Stop hiding!” shouted dream Shego the only answer she had was a light-hearted giggle from her left. Dream Shego instantly turned around and walked towards the sound all of a sudden the room became bright. Dream Shego clenched her eyes shut from the pain the sudden brightness caused. Then a pair of soft as silk hands covered her eyes and a smooth voice whispered in her ear, “Guess who?” followed by another light-hearted giggle.
Dream Shego smiled, “Princess” she purred as she lifted the soft hands off her face gently then turned around wrapping her arms around the other girl’s waist looking deep into green eyes as familiar as her own smiling back at her. Then the other girl’s eyes filled with tears, “How could you do this Shego? Just by liking me like this you ruined my life and I hateyou!” the other girl pushed Dream Shego away. Her eyes now burning with unbridled hate she kneed Shego in the stomach forcing the wind out of her as Shego fell to the floor panting struggling to take in breath, the other girl walked away facing Shego only once to say, “No-one has ever wanted you. What makes you think I could be the one to accept you?”
Back with Kim
Kim felt her left arm being moved by another force and looked over to see Shego curled up right on the edge of the bed but shifting closer and closer to falling off and she struggled against some dream until there came a thud as Shego rolled off and landed on the floor.
Kim looked over the edge of her bed to see if Shego had woken up, which was not the case. ‘I wonder if she’s dreaming about me?’Kim thought, ‘No! I don’t, this whole mess is her fault!’ Kim yanked her left arm up making Shego lift up and smack against the side of her bed.
“Ow, what the hell was that for Dr.D?” came Shego’s voice still gruff from sleep.
“Not Drakken’s lair, Shego” Kim responded, her voice in a tone that made Shego shiver and not in a good way.
“Hi Kimmie mind if I sit up there with you? I think I’ve bruised my head somehow.” asked Shego with an obviously fake smile plastered on her face a Kim glared down at her.
“No Shego, I have an hour to get ready and for once, I don’t want to be in a rush to get to school besides somehow I think your head will be fine. You always seem to bounce back quickly after our fights.” Replied Kim as she got out of bed and dragged Shego off the floor and out of her room.
“Oi! Pumpkin, I may have mild concussion but I still don’t appreciate being dragged.” Whined Shego.
“Deal with it Shego, also don’t call me pumpkin.” Came Kim’s blunt reply and both girls were quiet as they walked to the kitchen.
‘She never commented about the nicknames before she must be mad’Shego then remembered her dream. ‘I hope she isn’t that mad at me’Shego flinched at the thought, ‘Hey what do I care if she mad, it’s not like I like her!’ Little did Shego know that she was lying to herself for no reason but she knew she was starting to regret knocking Kim out.
In the kitchen, James Possible was reading the paper while his wife poured coffee for the two of them when an angry looking Kim walked in, a strangely meek looking Shego being dragged behind her.
“Hey Mom, Dad” greeted Kim as she sat down, her pancakes and orange juice laid out in front of her usual seat.
“Morning Kimmie-cub, you all set for school today?” James asked from overtop his paper.
“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be dad. Hey where are the tweebs?”
“Your brothers are still in bed. They’re not very well today. Now Shego how many pancakes would you like?” asked Ann Possible as if it were normal for her daughter’s enemy to be eating breakfast with them.
“Er two.” answered Shego.
“Excuse me, now what do you say Shego?” asked Ann as if speaking to a two year old.
“I won’t say it.” muttered Shego.
“Oh well I guess you don’t want any then” said Ann with laughter evident in her voice as she waved the plate in front of Shego’s nose, teasing her with the delicious smell.
“Fine. Please.” said Shego scowling at being manipulated.
“Better,” praised Ann.
The girls ate the rest of breakfast with Kim being uncharacteristically quiet and Shego sulking about being made to be polite. Once they had finished eating Kim asked her mother if she would help with Shego’s top again.
“Of course I’ll help sweetie, I’ll be up in five minutes once I’ve cleared up.”
In Kims Room
“Hey Kimmie do you think you could pick me out some darker clothes, you know black or green” Asked Shego looking at her current attire which consisted of a hot pink baggy t-shirt done up on one side by safety-pins and the bottom half of her ruined jumpsuit.
“Deal with what you get, Shego” replied Kim coldly.
Shego flinched at the tone. “Hey Kim maybe we should talk.” said Shego suddenly finding the floor interesting.
“Not now Shego, mom’s going to come up any minute.” Kim chucked Shego a pair of dark jeans, realising she couldn’t wear the jumpsuit to school. Shego put the jeans on with one hand as Kim looked for a dark top for Shego.
Ann came in just as Kim chucked a t-shirt at Shego who was oddly subdued as she passed the t-shirt to Ann for modifications before she undid the safety pins on the t-shirt she was currently wearing. The room was silent as the girls got ready and Ann could sense some tension between them, she wasn’t stupid but she could not tell what kind of tension it was. “Right all done.” said Ann as the last safety pin was secured on Shego’s top. She glanced at the clock, “You’d better get going you two if you don’t want to be late.”
Kim looked at the clock, “Oh great. Come on Shego.” Kim demanded as she ran down the stairs and out of the house. Ann watched them go, ‘I should be worried about this situation but I trust Shego, surprisingly!’
The girls were walking in silence with Shego occasionally glancing at Kim nervously before she finally broke the silence, “Look, Kim, about the…”
Shego was promptly cut off by Ron running to catch up with them shouting, “Hey KP wait up!”
“Hey Ron, you ready for school today?”
Kim got no answer, both Ron and Rufus were staring at Shego, who was glaring at them.
“Great timing Buffoon.” growled Shego.
“Hey the name is Ron and what’s with the safety pins and the ankle swinger jeans?”
“I know your name and, in case you don’t remember, I am stuck to Kimmie so I have to borrow her clothes since I haven’t had the chance to go shopping yet. Also, because I am taller than Kim her trousers are going to be short on me, idiot.” If looks could kill, Shego’s glare would have had anyone in a five mile radius six-feet under.
“Shego leave him alone. In fact Shego, just be quiet or you will make things worse. We’ll talk properly after school. And Ron, just don’t talk to Shego.” Kim ordered looking straight forward.
Ron was shell-shocked and stared at Kim surprise at what had just come out of his best friends’ mouth.
Shego growled and twisted Kim around to look at her, “Do not try to boss me around Kim.” Shego’s voice was dangerously low.
“Oh so you don’t mind being bossed around by a blue idiot but as soon as someone asks you to be quiet for once you start acting all dark Shego? I know you’re a lesbian but with the way you act people will think you have a thing for Drakken!” shouted Kim.
Shego’s face went a shade darker from anger, “Look Kim, you know nothing about me or why I do things so don’t even try to …”
Shego was once again cut off by Ron. “I don’t want to get in this argument but we’d better get moving if we want to be on time today.” he said nervously. The girls remained silent for the rest of the walk.
When they were standing in front of the school doors, Shego decided to make a comment, “Great, my hair is greasy from not being washed today, I am wearing a t-shirt held on by safety pins, my trousers are too short and I have to hang out with you two. Yeah I feel just like a high-schooler again, depressed.”
“Shego, quiet.” growled Kim as they walked through the doors, well Kim walked dragging Shego behind her, Shego was only barely containing her anger from Kim’s remark.
Ron quickly slipped away from them to go to his locker so it was just the two of them and once again, they were silent. When Kim opened her locker Wade appeared on the monitor, “Hi Wade, what’s the sitch?” asked Kim while Shego childishly decided to vent her anger on Kim by making stupid faces at Kim’s back, however Kim responded without turning around, “Shego, stop that or your face will stay that way. Still, can’t say it wouldn’t be an improvement.” Shego froze in shock behind Kim, surprised that Kim had known she what was doing.
“Hey Kim, Shego. Kim there is a new Kimunicator in your locker to replace the broken one. I’ll make sure to call you if there’s any news on Drakken or if I find out more about your condition but your sure you can’t do normal missions?” asked Wade.
“Yeah I’m sure, thanks Wade.” Replied Kim and Wade nodded then the screen went blank.
“What condition girl?” came Monique’s question from behind the locker door, ‘She must not have seen Shego yet’ thought Kim.
“Hey Monique, listen, don’t worry about what you are about to see ok?” said Kim as she shut the locker door slowly.
“Why girl, what is the prob…” Monique stopped mid sentence staring at Shego.
Shego promptly stuck out her left hand, “Hi I’m Shego, its sooo nice to meet you.” She said in a sickly sweet voice, grinning widely as if coming up with a devious plan.
“Erm, Kim F.Y.I, that crazy green chick you always fight is standing right there.” whispered Monique.
Shego frowned, “Crazy? I’m not …”
“Quiet Shego, look I’ll explain later Mon but I need to get a pass for Shego and then get to class on time.” said Kim, “see you in class Mon.”
“Yeah see ya there girl” Said Monique as she watched Kim drag Shego down the hall.
“Hey! Enough with the dragging!” whispered Shego to Kim but to her annoyance she got no reaction.
