A\N:YAY! Reviews! Thanks, guys!


Kim sounds sad when she's singing.

I can understand that. But part of me just won't. So I'm rolling with it. Hell, being nice didn't work. Let's try being mean.

"Come on, Princess, up and at 'em."

She blinks incomprehensibly at me.

I sigh. "You know, eight in the morning? Need to get out of bed?"

She just shrugs, sliding to her feet and pulling on clothes absently. I sigh mentally. Okay. Plan B.

"Mmm, you're lookin' hot today, Kimmy."

A blush. Finally. I smirk. "Hey, you're the one who won't get dressed."

"Shego!" About time.

I roll my eyes and head for the shower. "Took ya long enough." How exactly did we miss that I'm standing right here, again? Someone's not awake today.

I lock the door and hear Kim shreik, "SHEGO! Get back here!"

I smirk.

Yeah, right.

When I come out, I'm not dressed. Well, okay, in a towel...which drops to the floor when I want to change. And boy, is Kim staring. I glance at her in the mirror, enjoying the shy, lustful way she takes me in. It's beyond cute. "Enjoying the veiw, Kimmy?"

She's bright red again. I slide my clothes on and shrug. "Go ahead. I stare at you too sometimes. Your eyes work, big deal." Well, it actually feels really nice, but doy, she's not knowing that.

"Uh..."

"Hungry?"

Kim just gives up, turning to face the wall. Key-doke. Breakfast it is. I grab my keys. "Want Starbucks?"

Kim gives me a What-Are-You-Trying-To-Pull look.

"I want coffee. I'm going to Starbucks. Hence my normal outfit and lack of powder-white skin." I don't normally use my normal skin tone because I can show too many scars if I do. But this outfit covers it and reveals just enough to be sexy.

"Kay." Kim says, ambling over to me. "Can you take me home after?"

I frown. "We need to talk."

"I really want to go home, Shego."

"Come on. Talk at Starbucks." I'm not trying to figure her out until I've had coffee.

She doesn't talk the whole way there. I keep an eye on her, but she just ends up falling asleep. Okay...I'm still worried about her.

"Princess? What were you doing out so late?" I ask. "And I know you aren't dumb enough to just wander around after dark, so don't even think of telling me that."

Kim shrugs. "I...I was upset."

"Why?" I do remember how my parents reacted to me being gay, Kimmy. I'll be damned if anything like that happens to you.

"Don't know."

I eye her carefully. It works wonders. She sighs, sipping her coffee. "I was upset because Mom found out I was hanging out with Selena, okay?"

"Selena? That dyke at your school?" While I really do not approve of slang like that (mainly because I am lesbian), the girl's earned her title.

Kim nods slowly.

"Why?" I ask incredulously. "You lose your taste in freinds, Kimmy?" I snort. "Wait. You never had any. Although Stoppable's at least harmless."

Kim shakes her head. "I...I was asking about dance clubs."

Dance...

I raise my eyebrow. "Well, well, well. Little Kimmy wants to come out. About time. I was getting sick of you blushing every time you stared at me."

She blinks, confused.

"So your parents got mad?"

Kim shakes her head. "I...I don't know what they think. And..." She shuts her eyes. "I was scared. I heard...I heard Selena's all tough because her parents tried to...to beat her up." She sits hunched over, pathetic, and terrified.

I nod, a slow sense of reliefe filling me. At least we aren't heading to the hospital anytime soon. "So the great Possible's one weakness is Mommy and Daddy."

"Shut up, Shego." Kim snarls.

"Whoa, whoa, chill. It's okay. I know what it's like, anyway." I admit.

She frowns.

"Doy, Kim, gay!" I smirk. "And I was walking around naked this morning why, again?"

She looks really weirded out. I sigh. "Sorry. I shouldn't tease you. But you really look cute when I do."

She smiles a little. "Thanks. I think."

I laugh. "So Kim, you really sure you want to go home?"

"Yes!" No question. Damn, girl, you really love your parents, don't you?

"Kay. Let me finish my coffee first." I drink slowly, savoring the time with my Princess. "You gonna talk to me? Or just pout?"

"Glare."

I give up.

When Kim gets home, though, she leans over and pecks me on the cheek.

Suddenly, it's all worth it.
