AN: So. I am not a writer. This is the first story I've written since middle school... I'm in college now, so my writing should be much better. I've been reading KiGo since 2016 and that's legit all I read. It's 2019 now and I need something to distract me from the garbage Disney is putting out soon.

You know that beautiful moment when you realize that you don't have to wake up everyday at 5:45 am anymore? Kim plopped down on her bed and sighed in relief. She managed to ace all her first year classes at Go City University and still maintain her favorite hobby. Wade knew Kim would be busier with her college courses, so he tuned down on the missions. But there was always something to do for Kim when she craved an adrenaline rush.

After graduation, Kim moved away from Middleton and out of her family's home. It was a nice change of pace for her. She always considered herself independent, but it's eye opening when you have your own space. Kim's parents wouldn't openly tell her that they missed her dearly, but it was evident when she went to visit them.

Just a few weeks ago, she and Ron decided to take a break. Well… Kim convinced Ron that they should take a break from their relationship. Right before graduation, he was concerned about their future. He really didn't want Kim to break up with him. Ron's usually an oblivious guy, but even he knows that Kim wanting to date him was a miracle. No one else really understood why they were dating. It just seemed… wrongsick when you looked at them from the outside.

Kim shook herself out of their honeymoon phase after spending some time in a different setting. Ron was very sweet and she loved being around him. But there were just things she absently craved in their relationship. Ron and her were hardly ever the same level as far as romance or interests. She wanted occasional candle lit dinners or a nice walk in the park under the night stars. Ron wanted to eat at Bueno Nacho everyday and see movies like Bricks of Fury. They could never see eye to eye on dates.

It took Kim some time at Go City University and some self-reflection to get her to see that she wasn't happy dating Ron. She loved Ron, but she wondered if she loved him as a lover. Crossing the line from best friend to lover was not easy.

Kim promised Ron at graduation that she wouldn't break up with him, so she suggested that they take a break from being girlfriend and boyfriend. She felt really bad about changing her mind and breaking get promise. The two of them still hung out sometimes. Kim told him that she needed more time to herself and that he needed to focus on his upcoming training session in Yamanouchi. Sensei had summoned him to the ninja school so he could continue his Mystical Monkey lessons.

But Ron was determined to keep Kim as his girlfriend, so he planned to work on himself this summer in Japan. He wanted to impress her and show her that they could work.

Kim got up from her bed and walked over to her dresser. Among the usual clutter and the pictures of her family, there was a strip of photos of her and Shego. She kept the photo booth pictures that they took when Shego was Ms. Go. Those were definitely fun times. Weird, but memorable overall. Kim grabbed the strip and stared at it.

"What are you up to?"

Shego vanished after her pardon for saving the world from the Lorwardian invasion. She was no longer wanted in eleven countries, but she stayed hidden. It had been a full year and there was no sign of her anywhere. She sometimes wondered if she was back to her old habits, but honestly, Kim figured she grew tired of thieving. Why else would she take the pardon? She probably wanted to do something refreshing with her life.

"Beep, Beep, Be-Beep!"

The famous four-tone chime rang in Kim's pocket. She reached for it and answered.

"Go, Wade," said as she walked into her living room.

"Hey, Kim. Finals week is over right? Are you ready for some extra relaxation time?" Wade asked as he drank out of a large soda cup.

"You know I don't do relaxation," she said as she took a seat on the coach and smiled knowingly. "Its never a dull moment in my life. I bet you called to send me on a mission, huh?"

Wade blushed, "Well sort of. Remember when you asked me to see if Shego had shown up anywhere? Well she's closerc than you think She's spotted on top of one of Go City's monuments. She seems to just be laying there."

Kim leaned in, "Really? After a full year, we find her loitering on city property? You'd think she'd make more of an entrenfe."

"Agreed. Are you going to check it out?"

"I might as well. It's not that far and I'm not doing much here anyway," Kim replied.

"Cool I'm send the coordinates to your car. Cya," Wade said as he hung up.

"I guess it's time to catch up, Shego," Kim said to herself. She grabbed her keys and walked to her car.

~•BK•~

It was 11pm when Kim pulled up to Go City Central Park. She didn't know how to approach this situation. How will she react to me coming here? Why did she choose now to show up? Will she pick a fight with me? What is she even doing up there? Shego had been spotted on camera climbing the structure. Wade had earlier confirmed that she was still up there.

Kim got out of her car and sighed. The monument in the park was a 200 feet tall structure with a flat top. She climbed up the structure with her grappling hook. As she reached the top, she saw a figure laying down with empty alcohol bottles surrounding the area.

Shego was very quiet and didn't acknowledge her arrival. She actually seemed upset. Or troubled. Shego was known for being angry, annoyed, or snarky, but never upset or sad. Kim sat down at next to her and looked at the sky. The moon was almost full tonight.

"Mi abuela used to sneak me up here at night and we'd look at the stars. Well as much of them as we could see in this bright city. We would flip-flop visits. She'd fly from Puerto Rico and stay with us or we'd fly down there. I guess I got my rebellious nature from her. She was always finding ways to get in trouble," Shego randomly stated.

Kim didn't respond. She just listened.

Shego continued, "When I abandoned Team Go and turned evil, she refused to talk to me. I broke her heart." Her words started to weaken. "I didn't contact or visit any of my family when I got pardoned. Do you know what I did, Kim?"

Kim was shocked. She had never heard Shego use her first name before. It was always Kimmie, Cupcake, Princess, and Pumpkin with her. She remained silent and saw the pain in Shego's eyes.

"I went on vacation and traveled the world. I tried to enjoy everything because I was no longer wanted in 11 countries. I went to foreign bars and slept with strangers." Shego paused and her voice got harder to hear. "I only recently thought about visiting mi abuela. I thought I could get her to talk to me and win her heart back. By then, it was too late… I didn't know she…"

She finally broke down in tears and Kim acted quickly. She took Shego in her arms. She tried to calm her down as Shego stained her shirt with tears.

After some timet she eventually calmed down and Kim saw a window to speak.

"You think your grandmother didn't know about your pardon? Shego, you helped save the world from an alien invasion. News spread across the world that you were a hero. I think the news even got to your grandmother in Puerto Rico."

Shego looked at Kim and soaked that in. She was recognized in other countries for being a hero, not a villain. But why didn't she call? I could have seen her in her last days.

Kim could see the confused look on her face and shes continued, "You wanna know what else I think? I think that your grandmother was proud of you until the very end. No grandparent can ever stop loving their grandchildren, Shego. Maybe she didn't call you because she didn't want you to be concerned about her?"

"Well, abuela was the type of woman who didn't want a funeral. She passed only 6 months ago, and my family found out last month. She loved us, but I think she wanted to die alone." She smiled as another thought went through her head. "That old hag also wanted her ashes to be spread across the Caribbean. She loved home so much, she hardly ever left. She only left when she wanted to visit her little grandchildren."

Shego scooted away from Kim, yawned, and thent stood up. She took out her phone and checked the time. 11:36pm. Kim echoed Shego's yawn and stood up from where she was sitting.

"How'd you know I was up here, Pumpkin?" Shego asked.

"Wade," She simply replied. So, it's back to nicknames with her.

Shego smirked, "The nerdlinger is a master stalker I guess. You came all the way here to see lil' ol' me?" She batted her still puffy eyes.

Kim ignored the sight. "Well I go GCU now, so I have an apartment not too far from here."

"Aweee. Kimmie's all grown up. Living hours away from home all by herself. Do your friends go to GCU too?"

Kim replied, "No. Monique goes to an art school in New York and Ron goes to Middleton Community College."

"Ah. I that makes sense for the fashionista and the buffoon." Shego suddenly felt awkward in Kim's presence. She didn't know what else to say and she definitely didn't want to talk about her recent break down. "Welp, I'm going to head home and pass out or something."

Kim gave her a sideward glance and thought for a second. Shego didn't seem drunk at all. She held their conversation well and her stance was strong. Then she suddenly remembered Shego's powers gave her a fast metabolism. Shego should be fine getting home.

"I would turn you in for trespassing on city property, but since I haven't seen you in about a year, I'll let it slide. But, I need two things from you before I go," Kim stated and crossed her arms.

"Oh?" Shego gave her a challenging look.

"One." Kim took out her phone and pointed it at her. "Can I have your phone number? We should catch up tomorrow and eat. If you're not busy."

Shego chuckled, took the phone, and entered her digits. "And two?"

Kim smirked and prepared to jump off the monument.

"Two. I need you to clean up these empty bottles."

And she was gone.
