…
"SHEGO!"
The teen hero leapt out of the bed only to instantly regret her decision and change direction in mid air. comically diving back under the white lavish goose feather quilts that Shego herself was currently under she tightly pulled the blankets about herself shivering. Shego for her part was grinning leaning her back against the headboard, her smirk growing as Kim's left hand pinched the bridge of her noose obvious symptoms of a hangover revealing themselves to both girls.
"Well, well, well. Kimmie I never knew you had it in you."
"Shut up Shego."
The teenagers voice was quite serious with a jagged edge reserved for interactions with the green woman. Still the connotations of Shego's words played themselves through her mind and Kim paled turning green her eyes widening as thoughts of what would happen when the press caught wind of her activities... She could almost see the headlines, then there would be Bonnie's reaction, the squad, Ron, Wade, Her parents, global Justice. The tweebs! Her brothers would never let her live it down everyone…no one…
"Relax, do you really think I'd spend my nights at a club the pestering press could reach? I have higher standards Kimmie you of all people should know that.
Taking the bait Kim looked over at Shego wondering if the green woman even caught the connotations of her words. Normally she would never lower herself to respond to such a statement but her throbbing head paired with the freezing temperature robbed her of three years' worth of maturity.
"What's that supposed to mean Shego?"
"You're my arch nemesis Kimmie don't delude yourself into thinking it's anything more than that. You're dancing skills need a bit more refinement before your up to par in any other area."
Shego's statement was playful the green woman winking at her as she stood walking across the small apartment. For a moment Kim cursed herself for her actions the night before mentally checking that she still had every article of clothing she'd arrived in upon her body, while her slow mind managed to recover enough memory of the night to know she'd done nothing..Well nothing further than drinking and she vaguely remembered something very green and warm wrapping its self about her body grinding to a pulsing beat . Shivering she decided in that moment to delete anything left in her memory of that night and instead focus on retaliation her green eyes glinted in the sunlight mischievously as she looked up at the other woman.
"Arch nemesis? Mine? Drakken's not here."
"Cute Princess. But everyone knows I'm the only one that can make you dance."
"I wasn't the only one dancing last night."
The green skinned woman stopped for a moment tossing a bottle of advil to the girl on the bed before making serious eye contact.
"It's far too early for either of us to bring up last night Princess."
Laughing Kim glanced about the room the light mood of the morning broken once as she realized why she was currently in a hotel? room with her arch nemesis. Looking at Shego she wondered why she wasn't tied up then again… being tied up and in bed with Shego in a distant country…well that wasn't necessarily a picture her mind needed to be constructing so early in the morning. Thankfully her stomach choose that moment to interrupt ending that train of thought(sad face DARN THIS HUMAN NEED FOR NURISHMENT TO HADES).
"Sooo Shego, what do they do for breakfast around here?"
BEEP BEEP DA BEEP
The sounds of her kimmunicator cutting out Shego's reply made her grimace. Looking at the screen she paused for a moment simply wishing to toss the damn, yes Kim Possible mentally swore for when one wakes up hung over in another country only to hear that they have to save the world BEFORE breakfast they have every right to swear, thing out the window however she was sure that upon the breaking of the glass freezing weather would rush into their small room. As she was quite cold already she decided against such actions. Taking in a deep breath attaching a false pin up smile to her face she pressed the red button in the center while cheerily proclaiming,
"Hey Wade, what's up?"
The young hacker appeared relieved with his reception running a hand through his hair as he awkwardly glanced around wondering how to start his speal. upon looking at Kim a second time his mind rationalized that he was in the clear for his mistake for the red head was not even offering a death glare. Forgoing the apology he got straight to business.
"Hey KP how close are you to France?"
Raising an eyebrow at the question Kim's mind instantly drew two conclusions from that statement. One was of that she was indeed not going to receive an apology the other was that if she were to accept this mission she would once again be on her own in terms of transportation Looking up at Shego she sighed their deal running through her mind. She'd at least have a ride there…
"Close enough what's the sitch?"
He grinned with her characteristic reply his body relaxing with the presence that was Kim Possible. She had always been able to put his fears at ease, she did that for the world.
"There's a cat burglar attempting to steal art from the louve and the French police have requested your aid. I'll tell them you're on your way."
Flinching at the device as it powered down Kim could have screamed in frustration for she never had accepted the mission. Sighing at the spilt she looked over at Shego the green woman looking as peeved as she herself felt.
"Villainy of that caliber should not take place until after a balanced breakfast."
She could have laughed at the comment, normally would have however she just moved to the door that Shego was preparing to open. The lack of a reply both worried and annoyed Shego trust nerd linger to ruin her fun with Kimmie time. Looking once more at the goose bumps on the red heads arms somewhere in her mind she rationalized that the flight would be much more…entertaining if the teen hero's teeth weren't chattering louder than her engines. . Reaching into her closet her eyes fell upon a black trench coat with green lining smirking.
"here princess, can't have you're ass freezing off before you save the day."
The curse for added measure an attempt to save some of her street cred Shego walked out of the room followed by Kim who though she would never say such things out loud Shego thought looked as if she belonged in her trademark colors. Laughing when she heard Kim's intake of breath at the fact that her bedroom was connected to an air hanger Shego slowly walked towards her black jet.
"You coming or what Kimmie?"
…
The job had been less than taxing, and Kim was sure that had they actually tried the Parisian Police could have handled the situation without her assistance. Glancing about at the street vendors Kim reached into her euroless pockets wishing that she had thought far enough ahead to ask one of the officers for a meal. Her mouth salivated over the idea of a crêpe and perhaps a coffee, really for the girl who had just saved the mona lisa was that to much to ask? Then there was the fact that even with the trench coat her hands were freezing…
Shego watched the teen hero from across the street sighing at how Kim by that point was unabashedly drooling over the menu of a cheap street vendor. She really did like bantering with the younger girl and then there was the fact that no one else could even hold a candle to either of them in the world of martial arts….and who could fight their best on an empty stomach? Shaking her head she crossed the street, smirking as she thought of the ways she could mess with the young red head over the meal.
"Je voudrais deux crêpes et deux cafés s'il vous plaît."
She laughed as Kim jumped and spinning around to face her.
"What Princess you mean you don't speak French?"
Looking at the crepe rather than at the villain Kim shook her head wondering if Shego would allow her to at least hold the coffee cups to warm her now numb fingers. Her face light up as the man handed two tall Styrofoam cups with steam rising from their tops to Shego along with two golden crepes of which Kim could smell the ham cheese and egg. Shego however only took one crepe making it obvious who the rest of the food was meant for.
"Grab your food Kimmie, it's a long walk to the jet."
Shocked for a moment and glancing at the green woman weaving away through the crowd Kim decided that she was in no position to argue so grabbing the remaining coffee and crepe she scurried after the older woman. Shego for her part was still smirking cheerfully as the teenagers eyes rolled to the back of her head upon her first bite.
"They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason."
"Yeah well crmmme wtts fur noooe."
Laughing at the red head who was fighting through a bite that was not humanly possible to chew Shego ran through all of the missions that Kim had shown up just before or after standard meal times her eyes only briefly widening as she realized the number of meals the teen would have missed was over the double digits for that month alone.
"I carry protein bars in my backpack."
"And how's that working out for you?
She couldn't rein in the sarcasm in her and the fact that she sounded like her bother be damned. There was no way she'd let Kim cop out of one of the few things that kept them both sane. It was obvious the red head felt the thrill that came from their spars, the rush in the question of 'who will win today?' So she'd sound like her mother if that's what it took to keep her sparing partner on her feet…well until she knocked the younger girl down of course.
Looking at the teenager in the old trench coat she couldn't help but be thrown back to a past where a younger green skinned hero was walking the streets of Paris starving and half frozen. The gypsy that had offered her a five euro coin and the coat its self was something she'd never forget. That was the reason she said to herself, that she was going this far out of her way for the teenager. There was nothing more than repaying an old debt to the cosmos on her part.
While Shego was creating reasons as to why she was aiding the teen hero each of them holding truths of their own, Kim was finding herself enchanted by the streets of Pairs. The glistening green of her eyes dazzled spectators, as she herself was captivated with the fresh snow even the fact that the beauty would soon become grey muck as the day progressed was unable to daunt her. For that brief moment everything sparkled in the sunlight magically. It was enough to rob the breath from her. As Shego turned she found herself caught under the same spell the beauty of Pairs, the glow of the sun setting the streets ablaze with magic, Kim's form in her trench coat both small hands clutching a dark cup with steam rising from the top, the red head was set apart from the crowd and Shego couldn't look away.
"I never had the time to actually look around Paris, or any of the places I've been to. Thanks."
It took her a moment to come up with a retort her mind sharpening as the magical moment's power over her dulled.
"Whatever Possible, I picked the Euro's that I used to buy breakfast off some suit."
She waited for the teen to discard the half drank coffee or at the very least insist upon returning and offering some form of compensation to the vendor having paid for their meal with stolen goods however the teenager just laughed.
"Sure Shego and they just happened to have a personalized American Express card with your signature graphics on it in their wallet?"
"Shut up."
Once more in the jet, which Shego had hidden in an air hanger just outside of Pairs, Kim watched as the clouds consumed them. The G-force throwing her back into the chair combined with the beauty of the world around her that she could only catch in brief glimpses kept her fully occupied while Shego watched glow from the sun catching the red head recreating the same enchantment she had felt on the street's of Paris.
…..
"That was the party of a life time! And did you see who Josh Mankey was dancing with ? And then BRENT LAYFOOT!"
Smiling to herself as she replayed her own weekend in her mind, Kim closed her locker moving to leave the locker room only for Bonnie to cut her off at the door to the locker room. The aggressive cheerleader grinning maliciously at the teen hero knowing that for once she had beaten the other girl.
"Possible. So where were you? At home studying like a little goody goody?"
Kim honestly almost laughed more than sure that the German club she had stumbled across was of a higher caliber containing a far more exclusive crowd than the one Bonnie had been partying with, and then there was the legality issue of teenagers and alcohol. If she were to be honest the dancing was over rated however the morning in Paris with Shego had been the best time she'd had in quite a while…so the true answer to Bonnie's question would have left everyone in the room stricken. But something about the fact that only she and Shego knew of her true actions that weekend added to the excitement she felt when she looked back on it.
So, Choosing to keep her interactions with her rival to herself she just nodded in Bonnie's direction saying,
"oh same old same old. There was a mission or two followed by trig homework."
Without bothering to return the question she left the locker room her eyes catching Ron as he intertwined with the arms of a shadow in the distance. Well Yori's back…Knowing better than to wait for him now that he was distracted Kim began the trek home alone; trapped in her thoughts, she overlooked the green shadow trailing her.
