Shego handed the Kimmunicator to the now frantic girl. Kim clicked a button and a picture of Wade popped up. He hadn't noticed her yet and was speaking with someone else.

"It's been two weeks since she disappeared. We need to mobilize a search team to these coordinates. I'm worried that Shego might've gone rogue again," Wade said with a serious voice.

A female voice replied, "I think you're right. I should never have given Kimberly leave to go with Shego."

"Thanks for trusting me you guys," Shego suddenly said with an edge to her voice. Wade almost fell out of his seat when he saw Kim and Shego on one of the top screens. He quickly made it so they could see Betty Director, and she could see them.

"Where have you guys been?" asked Dr. Director, her voice strained. She was angry but trying to hold back.

"A lot of scary shit happened, that's what," Shego replied.

"Explain," Betty quipped.

"We were pulled into another dimension."

It grew silent. Nobody laughed. Nobody thought it was a joke. Wade knew better than to think that Shego would joke like that, and Betty… she believed them wholeheartedly. She was one of the few people who'd ever been to another dimension and came back alive. Usually they didn't go on purpose. They'd somehow be pulled in, and then just like that they'd be back. Some didn't survive in the dimension they'd be pulled into, and when their bodies returned it'd be just a corpse.

"I'll need details as soon as you all return. Do you know what day that'll be?" Betty asked.

Kim finally spoke up saying, "I need some more rest, so it may be another week before we return."

"Alright. Check in every day though," Betty remarked, just before she turned off her screen.

As soon as Dr. Director was gone, Wade let out a side of relief and said, "Oh my god Kim! I was so worried! Are you sure you're alright?!"

"I'm fine Wade, thanks," she smiled.

Shego left the room with a huff, obviously still mad that Wade thought that she would try to hurt her Kimmie. To cool off she decided to make dinner.

Kim bit her lip when Shego left and said, "Argh, Wade, I need to go. I think you guys really hurt Shego's feelings."

"Sorry Kim… but you just sort of disappeared. It's been on most of our minds since Shego supposedly 'retired' from villainy. We all worry that she might turn and hit you when you least expect it. We thought she'd done that since you were suddenly missing."

"Shego wouldn't do that," Kim said sternly, "Especially not after what she did for me."

Wade grew silent. He didn't know what Kim was talking about, but it probably had to do with the other dimension. If it did, he'd find out when the two returned and briefed the director on what'd happened.

"Anyways, I really do need to go Wade. I'm worried about Shego. See you soon," she said, turning off the Kimmunicator. She slipped it into her pocket before managing to stagger out of the room.

Shego had just flipped the steaks when she heard soft footsteps upstairs.

In a heartbeat she shot up the steps to find Kim out of bed.

She swept the redhead off her feet and carried her down to a couch saying, "Damn it Princess, don't scare me like that! If you wanted to come down you only had to call. I am not letting you walk around this house until you're better."

Kim pouted but didn't protest when Shego set her down and went back to the kitchen. At least from her spot on the couch she could see Shego easily. She didn't stop her eyes from wandering all over the green-skinned woman's form. It was beautiful. It wasn't the first time she'd just sat and stared, but she didn't feel ashamed of herself. Shego was beautiful, and aren't beautiful things meant to be looked at?

When dinner was ready, Shego helped the redhead recline on the couch so that she was sitting up enough to eat, but not enough to make her stomach hurt.

Her ribs would probably take another week to heal up. Based on some tests they'd run in the other dimension just before the two had left, Kim was still healing at a quick rate. There was probably a little bit of serum still left in her system helping her heal quickly. As proof of that, her broken finger was already completely better. Her ribs were all that were left to heal.

As the two ate, Shego let Kim decide on what movie to watch. Shego wanted to groan, but she had given the redhead the choice. So now she was stuck watching a sappy romantic movie. She was just glad it was one that she could actual live through without smashing her head into the wall a few times.

That was typically how they spent most of their days. They'd either relax in front of the TV or sunbathe while Kim healed. Shego still did all the cooking, even after Kim had started moving about on her own. She didn't trust the redhead in the kitchen, knowing that the kid may say that she can do anything, but cooking did not come easy.

Two days before the week of relaxation was up, Kim had fully healed. She was able to move around without any pain. Of course Shego didn't let her do much strenuous activity, but they did manage to go for a light jog, which for most would be considered a run, and Kim was fine afterwards. She was a bit slowly than usual and grew out of breath quicker, but that was because she'd been bedridden for almost a full three weeks.

After one of their runs the two had washed up and Shego cooked dinner. They sat down in their usual spots, Kim lying down on the couch while Shego took a seat beside the girl.

For some reason at dinner time the girl always requested some sort of romance movie. Shego was sick and tired of them, but if that was what the Princess wanted, she decided she could deal with it for a bit longer.

Shego did manage to last through the movie without killing herself, so that was taken as a good sign. It was better than the one the night before. Shego had almost jumped out the window just to escape.

"Hey Shego…" Kim started slowly. The movie had just ended and the credits were rolling with soft music in the background.

"What's up?"

"Do you think that everyone has someone out there for them?" Kim asked wistfully. The romance movie had her in a romantic mood and she really wanted to believe that there was such a thing as soul mates.

Shego was silent for a moment before finally replying, "I think… I think that not everyone has someone out there for them." The moment the words left her lips, the redhead immediately became depressed. Shego quickly continued saying, "But, that doesn't mean I can't hope that all the people I'm friends with have someone like that out there. I think it's impossible for EVERYONE to have a soul mate, but I want to believe that all of my friends do."

Kim slightly smiled at that. She could somewhat understand what her pale friend was saying, but it was still not the answer she'd hoped for.

"So does that mean you think that I have someone out there who's perfect for me?" she asked. She was treading on thin water, but maybe now was the time to say what she thought.

Shego realized it was getting a bit deep, and she could feel her heart beginning to race. She needed to play it off quickly. It wasn't that she was scared of the conversation becoming serious, but she needed a second or two to figure out her next move. With a devilish smirk she joked, "Don't you have to be my 'friend' for me to believe that?" She knew how Kim would reply, and she was counting on it.

At first the redheaded hero was slightly saddened that she wasn't getting anywhere with her sparring partner, but that only lasted a second before Kim's lips twitched into a smile and she asked, "Oh? So then what am I to you then?"

Shego leaned over in a sudden movement and brushed her lips against the redhead's cheek, whispering into the girl's ear, "Special." Then she stood up and took the dishes to the kitchen, leaving a frozen redhead on the couch.

Author's Note: Ok... I just had to say that the ending to this one is one of my favs 3 it's cheesy to the max... but still! I can't help but love this sort of thing... and I was really proud of myself to come up with this xD
