Once again, a conversation from the Forums gave life to a little Plot Bunny. This short little one-shot is the result. Hope y'all like…

Would You Like Fried with That?

Call it destiny, serendipity… chance, or luck. May be even part of the All-Great Design of the universe. Or maybe, sometimes, things just seem to happen…

Kim and Ron were driving home from a recent mission, and they had been on the road for about half the day, taking their time. Just a few miles out of Middleton, they spied a small Truck-Stop and Diner, and decided to make a pit stop.

After stopping the Sloth, both got out and stretched themselves, working the kinks out after a long drive.

"Oh Man KP." Ron said while stretching himself backwards, making his back crack at least twice. "I never knew that sitting down could be so hard on the body."

Kim was stretching her arms above her head, noticing that her shoulders were popping a bit. "I know what you mean. The Sloth is comfortable and everything, but nothing beats relaxing at home on the couch." She looked around the small truck stop. "I hope they at least have clean restrooms."

The two then walked towards the small store where there were convenience items, and the register to pay for gas. Kim asked the attendant where the restrooms were, and the young kid with stringy hair pointed to the back while handing both of them a key that had a fairly large chunk of wood attached to it.

…x x x x…

Meanwhile, in the Diner…

"OK… you think you know what to do now?" The overweight balding man said to the woman who was just hired as a waitress. He had just finished with her orientation, which wasn't much. All she had to do was take customers orders, and put the ticket on a spinning wheel. The rest he said she would learn as the day went.

Shego looked around the small diner, and huffed. She so did not like the arrangement she had with her Parole Officer. The only way she wouldn't be thrown into jail for her latest offence, was to take any job that he was able to find for her. It just so happened that this truck-stop was looking for a waitress.

She couldn't stand what she had to wear. It almost looked like something out of the '50's. The blouse and skirt were a horrid pink color, and she had a white apron draped over her front. The skirt went down to about half way between her knees and feet, and she had to wear white socks that covered her lower legs. The shoes were white Kirkenstocks that reminded Shego of nurses shoes. To top it all off, her long black hair had to be tied up and covered with a hairnet to keep it from falling into the food.

The bell on the front door chimed, and in walked a couple of truckers that looked like they had been on the road for 23 hours. Screwing a smile on her face, Shego watched while they took a seat in a nearby booth.

Taking a deep breath, she went over to the table to take their order.

…x x x x…

Both Kim and Ron finished cleaning themselves up in their respective bathrooms at about the same time. Ron was out first, and Kim found him checking out the candy aisle with Rufus.

"You know they have a diner here." Kim said as she walked up to Ron taking his hand. "Want to get a bite to eat there before heading into town?"

"Sure… That would be better than a candy bar." Rufus dropped his head as he had had his eye on a Zagnut bar.

Walking out of the gas station, they saw the sign for the Diner, and opened the door just in time to hear a boisterous trucker bellow out…

"Whooo Doggy! Lookit here, Earl! We got us a looker for a waitress. I haven't seen you here before Toots. What's shakin'?"

The two teens went to a side table away from where the waitress was being hit on. Kim looked at the waitress a bit longer, thinking she recognized her from the back, but wasn't sure. All they could see was the woman's back, and the rather large hand of the trucker resting on her backside.

"I'm going to go teach those gentlemen some manners on how to treat a lady." Kim said, and started to stand.

"Now Kim…" Ron said. "Don't make too much of a scene."

"All I want to do is have a talk with…" At that point they hear the waitresses voice, and immediately the two heroes knew exactly who it was.

…x x x x…

Shego spoke through gritted teeth. "Sir… Would you kindly remove your stinking hand off my butt before I remove it from your arm?"

The redhead's jaw dropped and her head spun around to look at Ron in complete surprise, who immediately exclaimed, "Kim… That's no lady, that's Shego!"

As if to confirm their observations, one of Shego's hands ignited with green energy, causing the two truckers to quickly leave the Diner. A loud beeping sound was then heard, and as soon as the villainess dowsed her hand, the beeping stopped.

Turning around to watch the two men leave, she muttered "Good riddance." Then she saw her other two customers, and audibly groaned.

"Oh great… it only gets better." She said with just a hint of sarcasm, "The Princess and the Buffoon."

"Shego? What are you doing here?" Kim asked, still somewhat surprised at what she was seeing.

"Part of my parole. Now you want to order something, or not?"

"What was that beeping I heard earlier?" Ron asked

Shego held up a hand, displaying a rather large bracelet clamped on her wrist. "Just a little toy made up by GJ. If my plasma is on for over 5 seconds, it alarms. At 10 seconds, it pages my parole officer and notifies local authorities."

"Now… You gonna order or not? I have a feeling if I scare anymore customers away, I might get fired." She glanced over at the cook who had given her orientation earlier, and was giving her a scowl.

Kim sat down and quickly looked over the menu. "I think I'll have the Chef salad, with light dressing on the side."

Ron looked up from his menu, and then gave his order. "I'll have the double chili cheeseburger." He said with a smile, and heard a growl from Kim.

"I so do not want to smell the results of that in the car Ron. Order something else, please and thank-you."

"OK…" He groused, and changed his order to a chicken fried steak sandwich, and then ordered cheese sticks for Rufus.

Shego then turned, and walked towards the cook calling out the order. "I need rabbit food with the works, diet on the side, and deep fried cow on a bun! I also need a side order of cheese logs." The cooked just stared at the green woman for a few seconds, completely surprised that the woman knew how to speak 'Short Order'.

"Anything else?" Shego said as she turned around with a smile that looked anything but warm.

"No… We're good." The two said together, and Shego started to walk away.

Just before she was about to put the ticket on the wheel, Shego heard Ron call out. "Oh and Shego? Make sure my cow is well done. I don't want it mooing."

When Ron heard the beeping sound again, he ducked just in time to avoid having his hair singed.

The end…

I know this was kind of short, and it ended kind of abruptly, but I think it works. Doesn't it?

I didn't realize until I was finished with this that it's my first posting of the year 2008... Cool...
