I don't own so please don't sue.
Just to let you know, because I really appreciate you all and take pleasure in reading the beautiful reviews I actually completed this story in a day but it just took me a while to update because I have no internet. And also I'm busy writing the other story entitled "Club Fun", but that's going to take a little longer to finish unfortunately. Anyway happy reading and cheers. Oh and I think I may have been a little over dramatic in some parts but hey! Drama makes the world more interesting and hectic.
Kim could feel the sudden tension in her chest tighten as she ran out of Drakken's lair; she disregarded the strange and recoiled faces of the henchmen, she just needed to escape the place where the person she secretly loved was sleeping with the person that she absolutely despised. She was breathing heavily not because of physical exertion, but due to the shock that engulfed her as she remembered images over and over again, Bonnie under a thin sheet, sneering at her and the look on Shego's uncomfortable face as the events unfolded.
The red haired teenager quickly whipped out her Kimmunicator and without waiting for a response from Wade, her fourteen year old genius, she shot out an order in short hollow gasps "Wade…Ride… NOW". The barely awake boy yawned as he realized that his computer screen was illuminating his face "Kim do you know what time it is?" However his eyes snapped open as he realized his friend was breaking down and he let out a deep remorseful sigh "I suppose it didn't go well then? I'm sorry Kim but I was sure it would have worked, I mean I helped you get the gift, I even…" Kim quickly interjected "Wade not right now, I need a ride five hours ago" Wade gave a sympathetic look "O.k Kim it'll be there in ten minutes" and with that the forlorn hero turned off the device.
Kim ran to the edge of Drakken's lair which was located on an offshore island, the wind stung her tear stained face and she kneeled to the ground as if pleading to some higher order, her head sunk low. 'I knew I shouldn't have gone here tonight, she was with Bonnie…Bonnie Freaking Rockwaller, I feel like such an idiot, I come here to pour my heart out to Shego, a thief, a mercenary, a woman who has consistently made my life a living hell for the past four years, I come here bearing my heart on my sleeve and she's with someone else. Wow way to go Kim, everything is possible for a possible except hooking the woman of your dreams.' She quickly berated herself 'great…now I'm even starting to taunt myself just like her'
Kim Possible thought back to when she started to develop feelings for the older woman, when they had first fought so many years ago; the heroine had felt an immediate attraction. For the most part of her life Kim knew that she was bisexual, she had dated guys, which she thought was nice, but when she met Shego she knew that dating her would be better. At first she had felt ashamed of herself, heroes and villains couldn't be together, it was an unwritten rule that the rest of the hero/villain community strictly adhered to, I mean imagine if Dr. Drakken and Betty ever got together. [Blue, one eyed babies…~shudder~]
She was mesmerized by the raven haired woman's fighting skills and enthralled by her green plasma abilities; Kim had especially taken a liking to the green and black skin tight cat suit as well. Time and time again, the teenager became excited by the prospect of fighting Shego, their fights became like a dance that they only knew, each time refining their moves for the other to follow. During their banters it was only them, no-one else mattered during those moments, Kim's mind, body and soul exclusively focused on her counterpart and in her heart she desperately wished that the other woman had felt the same. She even began to like the taunts and the nicknames because it instigated some sort of possessiveness over her, like she somewhat belonged to the older woman. She didn't need Shego because she wanted her; she wanted Shego because she needed her.
It had taken all of her courage to see the mercenary tonight, for weeks she had dissected the pros and cons of visiting the thief, but after a very lengthy talk with Wade who somehow knew what Kim had felt from the very beginning, she hesitantly agreed to take on the mission. A mission that she ultimately failed and it broke her heart. As she rode home to Middleton she could feel her soul brutally relent, Kim became trapped in her despair and she needed an escape.
Shego looked down at the gift before her, puzzled as to how her rival knew that it was her birthday and also why she would offer a genuine gift. It had been a long time since anyone had recognized her birthday, not even her brother's bothered to call anymore, in the end she assumed that people simply didn't know what they could offer a thief who could steal all the things she desired. "Shego baby, I didn't know it was your birthday that just means I have to be extra nice to you tonight" Bonnie seductively remarked as she walked up to her lover hips swaying under thin sheets. The brunette latched onto the pale green woman's shoulders and leaned in to taste the luscious black lips that belonged to her, but she was abruptly stopped by a harsh finger.
"Get out" Shego silently whispered avoiding eye contact with the teenager. Bonnie was surprised and confused by her partners blatant rejection, her woman had never refused an invitation for sex before, but the brunette continued with her ministrations "Baby, it's your birthday, if miss priss can give you a present, then I want to give you one that's even better". The pale green woman was beginning to become irritated by the younger girl's antics, again she replied in a dry tone and she gazed directly into the set of blue eyes before her "I said get the fuck out or I will make you get out, I don't want to put up with your shit right now, so leave."
The bewildered teenager gave a blank look, but then realization settled in and she instantly became infuriated by her lover's request, she violently drew her arms back. "What the hell Shego? You don't want to put up with my shit? Babe I've been putting up with your shit for years, with your mood swings and constant complaining about Kimmie this and Kimmie that, don't you remember when we first started this? We used to laugh about how if Miss Priss ever found out she would have an aneurism, knowing that her arch rivals were fucking behind her back. And now that she knows, you want me to go away? Fuck you Shego, you can go and run after your little Princess for all I care, your just a green freak that will end up alone anyway, I shouldn't have wasted my time with you" She quickly and angrily rummaged the room in search of her clothes and she left the unimpressed pale green woman with her thoughts, slamming the door behind her.
Shego let out a tired sigh 'Kids' she thought to herself, the thief walked over to her bed and sat down on the edge, she had no intention of running after either teenagers that had obviously been affected by her actions. She wasn't angry towards Kim for abolishing her chances of getting laid that night, nor was she taken aback by Bonnie's words, she was confident that the brunette would be back, Shego was more perplexed by everyone's actions and reactions. She glanced over at the gift before her and for some odd reason she inwardly smiled, she tore open the package and a small note lay on top of an emerald green box. She read the note in the hope it will give her a clue as to why the red headed hero visited.
Shego,
I know that we've been rivals since forever but I am hoping that it doesn't mean I can't give you something to commemorate your birthday, because although you're egotistical, narcissistic and just a downright pain, I can't imagine how boring my missions and my life would be without you. I hope you enjoy your gift and think of me when you use it, Happy Birthday Shego.
With love and adoration,
Your Kimmie.
Shego's heart fluttered as she read the words, she genuinely smiled with no malice or sarcasm, and she fingered the handwriting and noticed that Kimmie, her Kimmie had beautiful handwriting. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts 'What the hell? I am not going soft; I am NOT going soft, she couldn't possibly and I certainly don't.' she tried to eliminate the small malleable feelings that were dwelling within her without much luck. 'And even if I did she's a bloody hero and I'm a villain, I'm evil. Its taboo, it would be like oil and water; Villain plus hero equals intense action scenes, Kim Possible plus Shego would equal World War 3!' Not doing a good act of convincing herself of her true desires the raven haired woman opened the green box.
She tentatively picked up the object inside and smirked in appreciation shaking her head slightly. The object was a jade green nail file that was created by some sort of natural stone and engraved on the small handle was the name Shego in stunning calligraphy. The simple gift made the thief grin, 'How could she make it so easy? I'm one of the most finicky people, I have everything that I want and need and she strides over here and gives me this gift that I actually appreciate, dammit Princess what the hell are you doing to me?'
She placed the item back inside the box and dropped down on her bed in defeat 'I can't like her, she's Miss Priss, she's Miss Anything's possible for a Possible'. The robed woman closed her eyes as she clutched the small note close to her beating chest. She remembered the first time that they had fought a slight smile creeping her face, 'that was a fun night, you were so young and innocent, but you had moves, not better than mine but I've trained you since then, you've flourished quite impressively Kimmie... You have everything so easy Princess, you're life is just laid out in front of you and you just have to follow, it's such a strong contrast to what I had when I was younger I almost envy you.'
She gave a deep sigh as she continued to contemplate her feelings as well as try to understand the teenaged hero's actions. 'You saw me tonight, is this your way of breaking free from those restraints? Are you sure you want to go through with that Princess? Knowing you you'll end up just like me, a thief, a mercenary and then ultimately alone.' she went under the sheets shaking all thoughts of the red headed heroine out of consciousness, 'Happy freaking Birthday Shego' and then she became overwhelmed with sleep.
