Chapter 7: Smile!
Shego parked her car in the parking lot of the Go City Mall. Kim had asked her to meet her at the mall after school. The green-hued woman had no idea what she and her girlfriend were going to be doing at the mall, but she had complied with the redhead's instructions.
The olive-eyed hero had called her girlfriend earlier that day and told her that she had a surprise for her, and that all she needed to do was make sure she had comfortable shoes on when she arrived at the mall. Heels were not an option for tonight. As the dark-haired ex-villainess approached the food court, she scanned the area for the elusive redhead. She wondered what the surprise could be.
Kim spotted Shego as soon as she entered the eating area. She had been on the lookout for the emerald-eyed beauty, as there were only so many ways that Shego could enter the area.
Shego smiled at the slim hero when she noticed her walking towards her. "Hey Princess." She said and gave the redhead a quick 'hello' kiss.
"Hi, Shego. You ready?"
"I guess. What are we doing?"
"Well, before I tell, you, I have to give you a few things."
"Ok."
"First, we have this." Kim said and handed her girlfriend a baggie full of change.
"Quarters?"
"Yes. And this." The redhead gave her a small wrapped present.
Shego took the gift and opened it. "A disposable camera. What's this for?"
"We're going on a trip."
"Where?" Shego asked and cranked an eyebrow. "Where could we possible go with a bag of quarters and a camera?" She wondered.
"Down memory lane."
"Ok, you've lost me, Princess." Shego said confused. The redhead was not making any sense to her.
"Ok, you and I have been together for a week and a half, and we have not taken one picture. After seeing all those pictures last night, I figured we should start our own photo album, so we're going to go around the city and take some pictures." Kim explained.
"Oh."
"Trust me, it'll be fun!" The redhead said to assure the older woman.
"Where are we going first?"
"To the bus."
"So, I'm guessing that's what the quarters are for?"
"Yep.
-()-()-()-()-()-()-
"Ok this is our stop." Kim said as they made it to their first stop of the evening.
"The park?"
"Yeah, I thought that this should be our first stop, that way we can take some pictures before it gets dark."
The two women disembarked the bus and entered the large city park. Shego just followed the redhead's lead. They walked around the park for a little while, hand in hand, enjoying the view and talking about their days.
"My brothers called me again today." Shego said.
"Oh, yeah? What'd they want?" Kim asked.
"They want me to come by for breakfast tomorrow."
"Are you going to go?"
"I don't know. I just know they're going to piss me off."
"Well, if you care what I think, I think you should go."
"First of all, I do care what you think. And second, why do I have to go. I just saw them."
"Yeah, once in two years. I know they annoy you, but they are your brothers and they are the only close family you have left. Another couple of hours with them is not going to kill you."
"It might."
"No it won't!" Kim giggled. "I think they are more in danger of dying during the visit than you are."
Shego laughed. "That's probably true."
"Oh, look, a fountain!" Kim exclaimed and she pulled Shego towards it.
Kim asked a couple walking by if they would take their picture by the large fountain. The two women put an arm around each other and flashed wide smiles for the camera. After they had their picture taken, Shego had another idea for a picture.
"Can you take one more?" Shego asked.
"Sure." The man said.
"Ok, thanks. Hold on." She said and then she swooped Kim up in her arms, taking the redhead by surprise.
At first, the slim hero thought that the older woman was being romantic, but then Shego stepped up on to the stone edge of the fountain and pretended to drop her into the water.
"Shego, no!" Kim shrieked as she swayed over the water.
"Oh, but I thought you liked to swim." Shego teased and started to tickle the redhead in her grasp. Kim could not help but laugh. After a few more moments of torture, the emerald-eyed beauty released her.
"That was a cute one." The woman in the other couple said.
"Thank you so much." Kim said as she retrieved the camera from the helpful couple, and when they were alone, Kim turned to her girlfriend. "That wasn't funny, Shego!"
"I thought it was," Shego chuckled. "And so did you. I see you over there trying not to laugh."
"Ok, maybe it was a little funny." The redhead said with a small smile. "Hey, there's money inside, let's make a wish." She said when she looked in the fountain.
"Ok, Princess." Shego said and pulled the quarters out of her pocket. She gave one to the redhead and kept one for herself.
Kim closed her eyes and thought for a few moments before she threw the shiny coin into the water. Shego followed suit. "What'd you wish for, Kimmie?"
"I can't tell you. If I do, it won't come true."
"Oh, come on, tell me." Shego urged. "Don't make me have to tickle you again."
"Only if you can catch me first." Kim said with a chuckle and trotted further into the park.
Shego chased after her and when she caught up with her, Kim turned around and took her picture. "Hey that's not fair. I wasn't ready."
"I was!" Kim giggled.
"Ok, that's it!" Shego said and tackled her into the grass.
Both women fell to the ground, laughing all the way. When they calmed down from their giggle fit, Shego took the camera from Kim and brushed a stray strand of hair from the redhead's face. "Don't move, Pumpkin." She ordered, so she could take the slim hero's picture. "Beautiful."
Kim blushed. "Thanks, Shego."
"Well, you are." She said, and leaned over and kissed the redhead on the end of her nose.
"Aww, my lips are jealous." The redhead pouted.
"Oh, well let me fix that. I wouldn't want them to think I don't like them." Shego said before she gave the redhead a soft kiss. "All better?"
"Yeah." Kim cooed. She just loved it when the emerald-eyed beauty kissed her.
"Where to now, Pumpkin?"
"It's still day light out, so let's walk around the park some more. I think there's an ice cream stand not too far from here."
The couple continued to walk around the park, taking random or funny pictures of each other with statues or trees or whatever they came across on their search for the ice cream stand.
"Oh, good, there's no line." Kim said as they located the stand.
"What kind are you going to get?" Shego asked the redhead.
"I like chocolate, but I like a lot of different flavors as well. Lemme guess, you're going to get Mint Chocolate Chip." Kim said smugly.
"Ha ha, Kimmie." Shego said dryly. "Actually, you're wrong."
"Really?" Kim said surprised. She would have bet money that that was what the green-hued woman was going to get. "Ok, so what are you going to get?"
"Strawberry."
"No, kidding? I had you pegged for Mint Chocolate Chip."
"Why, because it's green?"
"Well yeah."
"Kimmie, I like a lot of things green, but when it comes to ice cream, it's strawberry all the way."
After buying their ice cream, the two women saw a bench that had a good view of the bay. Shego put her arm around the younger woman's shoulders as they sat down to enjoy their ice cream cones.
"I'm having a lot of fun." Kim said.
"Me too Kimmie. Who knew that walking around the park with a camera could be so fun?"
"I think we have more silly pictures than anything. I can't believe what you did to that statue." Kim giggled.
"What? I just sat on it." Shego said with mock innocence.
"You did not just sit on it!" Kim laughed. "You were sitting on the back of a horse making suggestive poses. Thank goodness no one else was around to see it."
"All in good fun, Kimmie. I was just messing around. Besides, I wasn't the only one that took crazy pictures. You climbed up a tree and hung upside down. I was just waiting for your shirt to fly up."
"Disappointed, huh?" Kim said with a smirk. She had taken that into account before she climbed the tree, so she would not give a passer-by a show.
"A little, yes."
"Aww!" Kim cooed. "I guess, you'll just have to wait a little longer."
"I can wait." Shego said and then gave the redhead's cone her immediate attention. "Hey what's that in your ice cream?" She asked.
"What?" Kim said taking her attention from her girlfriend and looked at her ice cream. "I don't see anything."
"How about now?" Shego asked before she playfully smashed the redhead's cone into her face. The surprised look along with the chocolate ice cream that was all over the hero's face was too much for the green-hued woman and she started laughing. She also snapped a quick picture. "Priceless!" She thought to herself.
"Shego…" Kim said in an oddly calm tone.
"Yes, Pumpkin?" Shego said, still laughing.
"Give me a kiss." The redhead said as she leaned into her girlfriend.
"Oh no, Princess!" Shego cried and tried to duck out of the redhead's way, but it was too late, Kim was faster than her. She was met with a sweet chocolaty kiss that got all over her face. She was not expecting that. She had been prepared for the younger woman to retaliate, but she was expecting to run, or duck some punches or kicks, not an overzealous kiss.
When Kim broke the kiss, she smiled with satisfaction that she had gotten her revenge. "I just wanted to share with you sweetie. Isn't this ice cream tasty?" She said as if she had not done anything out of the ordinary.
"Alright, Kimmie. You got me back." Shego conceded and went to wipe the ice cream off her face.
"Hold on." Kim said stopping her. "You can't wipe it off yet. I have to get a picture of you." The redhead said as she took the camera out of the green-hued woman's lap. She moved a little closer to Shego and she held out her arm so she could take a picture of the two of them with the chocolate treat on their faces.
"I was not expecting you to do that." Shego said as she started to clean her face.
"Oh I know." Kim said giggling as she wiped off her face as well.
When their faces were clean, the redhead realized that what was left of her cone had hit the ground. "Aww man, my ice cream's gone!"
"You wanna share mine?" Shego offered.
"By share, do you mean smashing your ice cream in my face too?" Kim asked cautiously.
"No, Kimmie. Actually share. You like strawberry right?" The green-hued woman asked and handed her cone to the redhead.
"Yeah, I like it. I was just making sure." Kim said, as she tasted the fruity treat.
"Where to now, Kimmie?"
"Well it's starting to get dark," Kim said and looked down at the camera, "And we only have a few pictures left, so I figured we could go to some of the places we've been to together this week and get a few pictures, or we can go eat, and then go to the mall and window shop.
"I vote for option number two."
-()-()-()-()-()-()-
"Are you serious? They actually make this?" Shego asked with a cranked eyebrow and she held up a package of bacon scented air fresheners. They had stopped to buy a pack of gum at a convenience store outside of the mall and the air fresheners were in a small novelty section close to the register.
"Haha, nice." Kim said and snapped a picture of the item and the genuinely confused look on the green woman face. There was no need to pose for that picture. Not only could she not believe that someone made that, but that people would actually buy something like that.
"That's just wrong." Shego cringed and put the package back.
"I know; who would buy that?" Kim asked giggling.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that I don't want to know either."
"You ready? Kim asked after she paid for her gum.
"Yeah."
They two women left the convenience store and walked across the parking lot to one of the side entrances of the mall. They had only been in the shopping center for a few minutes, before Kim found something that caught her attention.
"Look, Shego, it's a stand with St. Patrick's day stuff. Let's go take a look." She said and tugged to older woman in the direction of the stand.
Shego watched as the redhead rummaged around the stand and then she started giggling when Kim turned around with a pair of beer mug glasses on.
"You think these make me look attractive?" Kim joked.
"Well, I'll tell you this Pumpkin, it certainly makes me what to take things off you." Shego giggled.
"Oh, then maybe I should get them." The redhead playfully said.
"Ok, but hold still a minute. I have to get a picture of this." Shego said and took the redhead's picture with the glasses on.
"Here, try on this hat Shego." Kim said when she noticed a large leprechaun top hat.
"No way. Those things are ridiculous."
"Aww c'mon Shego, it'll be fun." Kim whined a little.
"Nope."
"Please."
"No." Shego said, still resisting.
"Pretty please." Kim said that time with the puppy dog pout.
Shego was going to refuse again, but when she saw the pout, she hesitated. "Kimmie, I –ok fine, give me the stupid thing." She huffed.
"Yes!" Kim cheered and put the hat on Shego's head and took her picture. "Don't take it off yet." She said and went to the other side of the cart. Shego sighed, a little annoyed, but did as she was told. She was way too sober to be wearing that hat.
When Kim returned, she had the lady that was working the cart with her. "Here you go." Kim said as she handed the camera to her. "Smile Shego. This is the last picture." Kim said as she stood next to Shego and put her beer mug glasses back on.
After the picture, Shego took her hat off and she thought they were leaving before she realized that the redhead was buying something. "You're really going to buy those glasses?" She asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah, but they're not for me. Ron loves St. Patty's day and he would like these, so I'm getting them for him."
"Oh."
"Yeah St. Patty's day is next week and they're only five bucks. He'll get a kick out of them."
"That I don't doubt." Shego agreed. She knew that all that silly novelty stuff was right up the goofy blond's ally.
After Kim purchased her gift for Ron, the two women walked around the mall window-shopping until they came across Club Banana.
"Hey let's go inside, I bet Monique is still at work." Kim said.
"Sure. There's a jacket in there that I wanted to try on anyways."
"I remember the last time I saw you in a Club Banana jacket." Kim said reminiscing.
"Don't worry, Princess, I'm not going to steal it." Shego said flatly knowing exactly what the redhead was talking about. She hoped that Kim knew that that part of her life was behind her. She had not stolen anything since the Lorwardian incident when she and Drakken went legit.
Kim blushed, embarrassed. She could see how the older woman could take that statement the wrong way. "That's not what I meant Shego." She said in a low tone. "I was thinking that I never realized how good it looked on you until now."
"It did look good on me, didn't it?" Shego bragged, silently forgiving her girlfriend. She did not want to make a fuss out of it.
"I still think it looked better on me." Kim playfully shot back, engaging in an argument that they started almost seven years ago.
"Pah-lease! There is no way you filled out that jacket in all the right places like I did."
"I filled it out just fine!" Kim insisted.
"Yeah, and I filled it out better and I still would."
"Now what are you two bickering about?" Monique asked, interrupting the two as they walked up to her and Ron at the counter.
"Nothing." Kim blushed at being caught having such a petty argument.
"Uh-huh." Monique said suspiciously. "So what brings you two here?"
"Oh we were just walking around the mall and we thought we would stop by to see you. I wasn't expecting to see Ron. Whatcha doing here Ron?" Kim asked.
"Same thing, I didn't have anything to do so I thought I'd stop by to see my lovely lady." Ron answered.
"Oh, hey girl, we got those new capris in that you wanted." Monique said to the redhead.
"Really?" I gotta try them on."
"While you're doing that, I'll go find that jacket I was talking about." Shego said.
"Ok."
"Well this looks like girl-time, so the Ron-man's gonna get out of here." The blond said.
"Ok, Sweetie thanks for stopping by. I'll see you in a little bit." Monique said to her boyfriend.
"Oh hey Ron, I got these for you." Kim said handing the small bag in her hand to her best friend.
Ron looked in the bag and a big smile formed on his face. "Boo-yah! Thanks KP!" He exclaimed and put the glasses on.
"Girl, you just had to get him something like that didn't you?" Monique said dryly. Now she was going to have to walk around on St. Patty's day with him wearing those ridiculous glasses.
"I knew you'd approve." The redhead said with a sly smile.
"Ok, I'm outta here." Ron said and turned to leave, but he was stopped before he made it two steps.
"Ron, save the glasses for next week." Monique suggested. The blond looked like he intended to wear the glasses out into the mall.
"Aww, I never get to have any fun!" He pouted.
"I'll make it up to you later." His girlfriend promised.
"Boo-yah!" Ron said and quickly took off his glasses. "See ya, later."
"Bye Ron." The three ladies said, bidding the blond farewell.
"Shego, is the jacket that you're looking for the new leather jacket that came out last week?" Monique asked.
"Yeah."
"It's over on the far wall, all the way to the left. There are a bunch of them over there, so I'm sure we have your size. Kim, let me show you where those capris are and get you a fitting room. You're going to love them!" Monique squealed.
When the girls had tried on the clothes that they wanted to buy and a few other items that they saw while walking around the store, they made their purchases and then after a few more minutes of small talk with Monique, they knew it was time to part ways.
"Well Mo, we better go." Kim said.
"Yeah, it's almost time to close, and I have to start straightening up so I don't end up here all night." Monique responded. "See ya at home, girl." She said and gave the redhead a hug. "It was good to see you Shego."
"You too Monique." Shego replied.
After the three women said their good-byes, they parted ways for the evening.
"I guess we better call it a night too." Kim said as they walked out of the clothing store. "I have a few things I have to do tonight before I get into bed, and I need to get a decent night's sleep."
"I guess you're right." Shego agreed. Even though to her it was still early, she knew that the redhead had to get up early for class, and could not stay up late and sleep in like she could if she wanted to.
As they walked towards the exit that their cars were parked, Kim noticed something out of the corner of her eye that she wanted to do before they left.
"Hey," Kim said stopping. "Look, it's a photo booth. Let's go get our pictures taken."
"Ok." Shego agreed.
"You know, I still have the pictures that we took from the time you subbed in Middleton." The redhead admitted.
"I wish I did." Shego confessed. "I burned them not to long after we took them."
"Why?"
"I didn't want Drakken to see them. I would probably still have them if he didn't walk in on me looking at them."
"Oh." Kim said hiding her disappointment. She guessed it was silly of her to think that the green-hued woman kept the picture strip after all those years, especially since they were rivals up until a week and a half ago.
"Well at least we have a whole camera worth of pictures to replace them with." Shego noted.
"Totally!" Kim chirped with excitement. "Do we have enough quarters left to print two strips or do we need to use paper money?" She asked the emerald-eyed beauty.
"Umm, lemme check." Shego responded and pulled the coin bag out of her pocket. She counted the money and found that they had just enough money. "We have just enough. It's almost like you planned this." Shego teased.
"Well I wish I could take credit for it, but I didn't."
Shego slid all the coins into the machine and then both girls entered the booth. "What do you think? Black and white or color?" Shego asked.
"Let's get them in black and white." Kim suggested. The disposable camera that they had took color pictures so she guessed black and white would be a nice change.
"Sure thing, Princess." Shego said and made the appropriate entries into the computer.
When they were ready, they pressed the start button, put their arms around each other, and smiled for their first picture of five.
"What do you wanna do for the next one?" Shego asked.
"How about silly faces?"
"Ok."
When the light flashed and the buzzer sounded to signal that the next picture was about to be taken, Shego stuck her tongue out and Kim puffed out her cheeks and crossed her eyes.
"This time how about we adoringly gaze into each other's eyes?" Kim said in sickenly sweet tone.
"Kimmie, I don't adore anything." Shego teased.
"Not even me?" Kim pouted and nuzzled her nose with the dark-haired woman's nose.
"Nope."
This time when the camera flashed, it took a picture of the two women embracing, resting their foreheads together, their eyes closed, and content smiles on their faces.
"So much for the adoring gaze." The redhead joked.
"Aww, Kimmie you know I was just kidding."
"I know, so was I. This time I want a kiss."
"On the cheek or lips?"
"Both. The first one on the check and the last one on the lips."
Shego kissed the redhead on the check for the next picture and then right after, she put a hand on the redheads cheek and captured the her lips with her own, giving her a soft kiss. She figured there was no need to wait for the signal on this one. It would look more natural if they were already kissing when camera took the picture than if they did it right before…that and it gave her a great excuse to give her girlfriend a kiss.
The two women did not stop kissing until both strips of photos were printed and waiting for them in the collection box.
"I love your kisses." Kim sighed.
Shego kissed the end of the redhead's nose and smiled. She did not know why she kept doing that. She had never done that with anyone else, but she liked it. "You ready?"
"No." Kim said flatly. She was not ready for the night to end.
Shego grabbed the pictures before they left the booth and handed one to the redhead on the way to their cars.
"Aww, these turned out so good!" Kim squealed.
"Yeah, we look good together." Shego commented. "I really like the one with us touching foreheads."
"I think that's my favorite. The one with us kissing is my next favorite."
"Yeah, it's a good one too. You looked pretty into it."
"Well yeah! If you know how it was to kiss you, you'd be into it too!"
Shego started laughing. "Thanks, Princess. It's pretty good to kiss you too. Better than anyone I've ever kissed."
Kim blushed and put her arm around the older woman. Shego did the same and the two walked silently out to the parking lot where the green hued woman escorted the younger woman to her car.
"Thanks for tonight, Kimmie. I had a wonderful time."
"Me too, Shego. I'll call you sometime tomorrow between classes."
"Ok. I guess after I have breakfast with my brothers, I'll take the camera and get the pictures developed."
"Oh good, you're going to see your brothers."
"Yeah, I guess I should. Hopefully I don't have to kill them."
"I'm sure you'll be fine."
"We'll see." Shego said with doubt. "Well, I better let you go."
"Ok." Kim pouted.
"Hey now, there is no need for that." Shego said and leaned down to give the redhead a goodnight kiss. When they parted, there was a smile on the redhead's face. "That's better." She said because of the change of expression.
Kim opened her car door, put her bags on the back seat, and sat down in the driver seat. "You want a ride to your car?"
"No, I'm just a few rows over."
"Alright, goodnight Shego."
"Night, Kimmie."
