This is the official sequel to chokehold. I HAD to write a sequel because after Shego's awakening the story would change a bit too drastically. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Well This is: Living The Dream.

I don't own Kim Possible and I don't own the other characters either (It would totally rock if I did!)

Enjoy!

Living the dream

Shego had escaped the hospital and she hadn't looked back once. She just ran away the moment her feet hit the ground. She knew that if she would look back she'd never get away. As she ran she realized one thing. She remembered her entire past; she knew every single detail. Realizing that she remembered her past she realized that everything had been fake. She and Kim had never been together, her life had indeed been quite miserable. Though as she headed back to her apartment she swore one thing. She swore she would get her old life back, no matter if it had been reality or not. She just wanted her life back and she was going to do everything in her power to obtain it.

Kim had simply closed the window but was unable to lock it. She looked at the melted lock and ran her finger across it. Her eyes shifted to the window, looking outside again and she sighed. She felt guilty that she couldn't provide Shego with the life she wanted. Though she knew it wouldn't be a smart decision. She reminded herself over and over again that Shego was a criminal. Even though she wanted to help her she chose not to do so.

"I guess I'll just have to tell my mom that Shego escaped." Kim whispered to herself as she stepped away from the window. She closed the curtain and scanned the room one last time before leaving it behind. She walked through the hallways in search of her mother. It almost seemed as if she was forcing herself to move forward. She was being dragged along by an imaginary hand sort to speak.

The moment Ann saw her daughter she knew something was wrong. The way she dragged herself forwards and the expression on her face told her enough.

"Honey? What's wrong?" Ann asked concerned. Kim looked up at her mother and sighed.

"Shego.. she uhm.. escaped." She said and Ann literally gasped in shock.

"What? She wasn't fully healed yet! She could seriously harm herself by doing something like that!" Ann shrieked as she stormed passed Kim and headed for Shego's room. Ann barged into Shego's room and discovered that her patient was indeed gone. She sighed heavily and turned back to look at Kim.

"I'm sorry mom, I couldn't stop her." Kim lied and her mother gave her a sympathetic smile.

"It's okay honey, I just hope she's careful." Ann said giving Kim a pat on the shoulder before walking out of the room. Kim looked after her mother with a heavy heart. She knew she had lied and she knew Shego wasn't going to be careful. Though she didn't know what to do, she was stuck in this situation but was clueless. She considered going after Shego in the hope she could convince her to go back to the hospital. Though she knew Shego wouldn't go back so the second option was asking if she could be careful. Yeah cause that's what a hero says to the villain. Kim thought dryly. The third option was the option she considered best.

She wouldn't go after Shego; she would wait for Shego to come after her. In the meanwhile she just had to hope that Shego really wanted the life she had dreamed about. If she did it would save Kim a lot of trouble. She wouldn't be called on a mission to fight the woman. That way she could avoid her a bit and make sure they can't fight. No fighting meant less strain; less strain meant being a bit more careful than she had been until her coma.

To Kim it was the perfect plan, now she just had to wait and see if it would work.

No longer having a reason to stay in the hospital she returned home. She went straight up to her room and waited as she watched out of her window.

Meanwhile Shego had finally returned home. She looked around the apartment and felt like she hadn't been there for years. Her eyes scanned every little detail, her hands tracing the walls and furniture as she moved around. She hung her head and came to a swift stop.

"Nothing has changed." She said sorrowful. Within seconds her mood changed, her hand smashing through a cabinet. "Damn it all to hell! I'm not some weak pathetic person!" She shouted out recovering her usual character. She was never a weak and vulnerable person. So she didn't have any plans to change into one either.

She gazed at the pathetic heap of wood that had once been a cabinet and huffed angrily. She turned away and bolted to the bathroom. After all the shit she had been through she really had the need to take a shower.

"Goddamned emotions." She grumbled as she stepped underneath the burning hot water of her shower. The moment she felt that water run down her back she started to relax. She felt her worries wash away as if nothing had ever happened.

Though somewhere in her mind, despite the fact that she despised emotions, she had a feeling that something was missing. She missed something, somebody maybe. Her apartment seemed so spacious and especially empty. Yet she tried to silence the tiny voice in the back of her mind that was nagging about it. She didn't want to admit that she was a changed person. She was still Shego but not the bad ass villain she used to be. All though she would never admit it until she was ready to accept it and she knew that it would take a while.

She wasn't the only one who was fighting with her emotions. Kim was having problems as well; her emotions were pulling her in 2 different directions. Her problem was that both of the directions looked good but she didn't know which one was best. She thought about the kiss that Shego had given her. Remembering how she froze up and the look on Shego's face when she pulled back. To see Shego like that was almost heart breaking for Kim. She had never seen such an expression of emotions and never would've expected it to come from Shego.

Seeing Shego's different side, even for just a second, changed her thoughts about the woman completely. She had always seen Shego as a selfish, uncaring, sarcastic, bad ass fighter. Boy was she wrong about her. She still thought that Shego was sarcastic and a bad ass fighter. Though the selfish and uncaring part had completely disappeared. She knew she just had to urge Shego to open up. The woman wouldn't open up that easily, that was for sure. She had to dig deep and hope that she would give in. All she had to do was figure out how she could get to Shego's sensitive side.

She closed her eyes and rested her forehead against the cool glass of her window. She had been staring out of that same window for what seemed like forever. She didn't care about how long she had been standing there; she had different problems on her mind. A thought occurred to her as she stood there. She realized that all the time she had been standing there, she had been hoping to catch a glimpse of Shego. She quickly stepped away from the window and took a seat on the edge of her bed. She placed her elbows on her legs and buried her face in her hands.

"What have I gotten myself into?" She groaned and she let herself fall back on her bed. She sighed and thought about the mission she had last been on. It had been several months ago and she remembered it as if it had happened yesterday. The laser, the lab which started to collapse, the ceiling that came crashing down. The same ceiling that came crashing down on top of Shego. She thought sorrowful. She had never thanked the villain for saving her life; she didn't even know why Shego decided to save her.

Though Shego knew exactly why she had saved Kim Possible that day. She wasn't planning on telling Kim her reasons but she knew she had done the right thing. All she wanted was for Kim to see that she wasn't always the bad ass villain. Even without being manipulated or being brainwashed she could be nice. Yet Kim always failed to notice this. She knew the red head respected her as a fighter but she wanted a bit more. Of course she would never admit this out loud; she still believed it made her look weak.

"There's no way in hell I'll ever turn back into Miss Go." Shego muttered to herself. She had enjoyed her time with Kim but it wasn't what she had wanted. She had wanted to spend her time with Kim as herself. Even though Miss Go was a part of her, it wasn't her at all.

"I even let my brothers hug me! Oh for crying out loud! Screw this!" Shego shouted and she blasted another piece of her furniture into smithereens. She knew there was only one way to show Kim that she wasn't always evil. She had to change and not just a little bit but drastically. Though first she had to have a talk with the red head. But instead of going to the girl's house, she made a plan that would make Kim come to her.

A faint familiar beep sounded in Kim's room. The sleeping red head let out a groan and turned onto her stomach. She had fallen asleep without noticing it. The familiar tone continued to play, repeating itself over and over again until Kim finally woke up.

"Alright, alright already!" She shouted as she got up. She reached for her Kimmunicator, snatching it off of her nightstand.

"Hey Wade, what's the sitch?" She asked after answering the call.

"Hey Kim uhm sorry for waking you but Shego is on it again." Wade replied and Kim frowned.

"How did you know I was asleep?" She asked and he coughed a bit before pointing at her. Her eyebrows rose and she rose as well, walking to the mirror. When she looked up she gasped a loud OhmiiGawd and quickly started working on straightening her hair.

"Sorry about that." Kim said revealing herself again only with tamed hair.

"It's okay but seriously Kim, you've got to go after Shego. Your ride will be there in 2 minutes. She's robbing a jeweler and if you don't hurry up she'll get away." Wade explained and Kim gave a firm nod.

"Thanks Wade, I'm on it!" She said and she disconnected the line. She quickly slipped into her mission gear and dashed out of her house the moment her ride arrived. Ron couldn't tag along; the blond boy was once again at Yamanouchi to train his Monkey Kung Fu skills. Kim missed him but she was able to handle all the missions on her own.

She thanked who ever was going to drive her and took a seat. I had hoped she wouldn't do anything bad anymore. Kim thought but she knew she had gotten her hopes up a bit too much. The ride was no longer than 20 minutes and she quickly found herself facing Shego.

The woman had her trademark smirk plastered on her face and she waited patiently for Kim.

"Hi there princessss." She purred taking a step towards Kim.

"Shego!" Kim growled taking a step forward as well.

"My, my what's with the harsh tone?" Shego asked teasingly. Kim's eyes narrowed dangerously and she shot Shego a venomous look.

"What do you want Shego?" Kim demanded to know. Shego grinned even more and circled Kim slowly.

"Not much, I just want to talk." She said slowly seeing that Kim's eyes never left her. She came to a stop right in front of Kim and placed her hands on her hips.

"You want to talk? Right and I'm supposed to believe that?" Kim questioned raising an eyebrow in the process. Shego slightly shook her head in disappointment.

"Tsk, tsk tsk princess, have a little faith in me will ya? I'm the one who should be doubting you, not the other way around." Shego said tracing Kim's jaw line with one finger. Kim roughly pulled her head away and took a step backwards. You could tell she was both furious and embarrassed at the same time if you were to look at her expression. Shego simply let out a laugh and rolled her eyes at Kim's action.

"Why should I believe you? You're a criminal!" Kim snapped at her.

"Really? Is that how you think about me?" Shego replied in a fake hurt tone. Kim let out a loud groan and clenched her fists. Shego noticed how the girl tensed up and smirked at her. With a roar that would make a lion jealous Kim attacked. Her fist aimed at Shego's midsection as she charged her. She knew Shego had to be careful because she wasn't fully healed yet. That, however, was something she didn't think about the moment that she attacked her.

Shego simply dodged Kim's attacks, smiling as she did so. She danced around with the red head and Kim noticed she wasn't taking it serious. The more Shego played with her, the angrier she got. An angry Kim always meant trouble because she would always go all out.

"Whoa you're feisty today princess!" Shego said to the girl as she yet again dodged one of her attacks. Kim growled angrily and sent a flying kick towards Shego's head.

With the speed of light Shego grabbed Kim's ankle and threw her into a wall. Kim coughed loudly, a groan of pain escaping her lips. Shego walked up to the girl and grabbed her arm. She pulled Kim up and pinned her against the wall with her body. She held Kim's hands together with one hand above her head and her body was pressed up against hers as tight as possible. With her free hand she reached out and raised Kim's head by her chin, making sure they had eye contact. She leaned in and gently placed a kiss on Kim's cheek.

The red head's cheeks turned bright red and her anger slightly subsided. She looked at Shego with shock and pain in her forest green eyes.

"Now that I have your attention," Shego said in a gentle tone. "I just want to talk."

"About what?" Kim asked in that same harsh tone. Shego's grip on Kim's chin tightened slightly and the red head groaned again.

"Mind your tone," Shego warned. "I'll only talk if you can manage to talk to me without being so defensive."

Kim pulled her chin free from Shego's hand and looked at the ground. Shego simply waited as she held her captured.

"Well?" She questioned and Kim sighed in defeat. Shego reached out again and turned Kim's head by cupping her cheek. Their eyes met again and Kim silently agreed to be less defensive.

"As I was saying, I just want to talk." Shego said.

"About what?" Kim asked yet again and for a moment Shego felt like she was having a déjà vu. She shook her head a little in confusion and quickly smiled at the girl. Her hand remained on Kim's cheek and she made sure their eye contact couldn't get broken. She leaned in slightly, her lips close to Kim's ear and whispered:

"About us, my princess."
