Chapter 13

-Possible Residence-

Shego sighed as she watched Kim leave for school. She really did love the redhead. It didn't matter what anyone else said or thought about them, Shego would always be with Kim, as long as Kim desired. But first she had to finish what had been started. She wanted control of her powers, and a sane mind.

Seeing as she could only do one of those two things in the current situation, Shego decided she would finally get off her lazy ass (that's how she saw it) and start training herself to use her powers again. Without a sound, she made her way to the backyard. Standing outside, she found she didn't know where to start.

"Ok, ok, just focus." She whispered to herself.

First she needed let the feeling come. It used to come so easily, like breathing, she could control it on a whim. And now… now she had to concentrate just to remember it. After a few minutes, she slipped into a meditative state, reaching back into her lost memories, trying as hard as she could to bring that feeling back. She had no idea how much time had passed before she finally felt something. First there was a tingling, then a rush. Focusing on that small flicker of what she knew was her power, Shego slowly drew it out, making it larger, more powerful, until she finally led it down to her hands, hoping she would get the reaction she was aiming for. After taking a minute to make sure everything was how it should be, she gave a final push that she hoped would ignite the plasma. Her eyes fluttered open, and they were met by a joyously familiar green glow. She wasn't controlling the temperature, she could tell the gloves were still the cause of that, but her eyes glittered with triumph nonetheless.

Willing the sensation to ebb away, she was rewarded with the flames also receding. Then she searched for the feeling again. This time it took less time for it to surface. And the flames shot up. Then died. And came back to life again.

Shego kept practicing this until it was relatively easy to do. She kept at it, practicing with one hand, then the other, both hands, a finger, as many different ways she could think of. Soon she found herself tiring, and decided to go inside. Letting herself fall back into the couch, she was surprised to see it was almost time for Kim to come home. It hadn't seemed like she had been practicing for that long. Flipping the TV on, Shego waited for her Princess to get home.

-Middleton High School-

School that day was boring. They had just been burned out by a wave of test taking, so now teachers were scheduling a weeks worth of easy assignments and 'educational' videos to let their tired brains rest. This gave Kim ample time to think about how she should handle things with Ron. She had tried to catch his eye when they would pass in the hallways, but he always looked the other way. She couldn't even find him when lunch came. Needless to say, her spirits were down by the time school got out.

Deciding it was best to admit defeat, at least for today, she headed for her car, feet dragging on the ground. Unlocking the driver's side door, Kim was just about to swing it open when she felt a light hand on her shoulder. Swiveling around, she felt her heart leap into her throat as her eyes fell upon a familiar blond head of hair.

"Ron." Kim said, voice raspy.

"KP, I… we need to talk." Ron had an odd look on his face, and he wouldn't look Kim in the eyes. "Bueno Nacho?" he asked glancing up at her.

Biting her lip and letting a small smile of hope flash across her face, Kim nodded and slid into the car. Ron walked around to the other side and got into the passenger's seat. The ride was in silence, but it wasn't a tense one, if not a bit awkward. As the car pulled up to the Mexican restaurant Kim turned and opened her mouth as if to speak, but before she could think of the right words Ron quickly got out of the car. Wincing a bit, Kim followed him inside.

Deciding to go ahead and let him take the lead, she followed him to the counter and let him order and then got a glass of water for herself. She was too nervous to eat. Picking a table, Ron sat down. Sitting across from him, Kim fiddled with her shirt, not knowing how to start.

"Ron, I-" she started, uncertainly.

"No, Kim, let me talk first. Please?" Ron asked, a mixture of emotions painting his face.

Kim nodded.

"… Kim.. I… I just want to say that I am so sorry for the way I treated you before." Ron said, voice sincere and eyes filled with guilt.

Kim's head snapped up in surprise. She had been preparing herself for a lot of different scenarios in her head, but she hadn't dreamed that it would have turned out this good. He was apologizing to her. And she could tell he really meant it.

"I was the biggest jerk in the world. We're supposed to be best friends forever, and I treated you like that! Ever since that fight I've been beating myself up and trying to build up the courage to talk to you, but I thought you'd hate me for sure." Ron let his had swing down, letting his messy blonde hair sweep forward.

"Oh Ron, I could never hate you! I thought you were avoiding me because you hated me." Kim confessed.

Ron looked up sharply, pain in his eyes.

"Never! I'm so sorry I hurt you like this Kim.."

"It's not your fault. It was a big surprise, even to me, and I shouldn't have told you right after we, erm, broke up." Kim looked away, embarrassed.

"Well, I sorta saw the break up part coming. I could kinda tell you were drifting away from me. But as long as I can still be best friends with you, it's all good." Ron let a warm smile spread across his face.

"So… you're ok with that fact that I… that I'm in love with another girl?" Kim asked quietly.

"Of course! I was so stupid to have reacted like that. Kim, my cousin is a lesbian. I have absolutely no problem with gay people. Ha, when I visit her she picks up more girls than I do." Ron flashed Kim one of his trademark smiles.

Kim looked at him for a moment before jumping out of her seat and running around to table to envelope him in a tight hug. Ron hugged her back, smiling softly. There was love, but it was the brotherly kind of a best friend, just like it used to be. Everything was finally starting to come together. Before Kim could break off the hug, she heard an annoyed cough behind her. Turning around, she saw the waiter with Ron's food and her water looking not at all thrilled to be at work that day.

"Oh, um, thank you." Kim said, returning to her seat, smiling stupidly to herself.

Ron promptly began to gorge himself on the cheesy mess in front of him, with Kim still smiling at him from across the table.

"Why don't you hang at my house after this for a while?" Kim offered. "I think it would be nice for all three of us to spend some time together."

Ron stopped eating to think for a moment.

"Sounds good to me, but are you sure Shego wouldn't murder me or something?"

"Ha ha, I'm sure I can keep her under control." Kim grinned back at him.

-Possible Residence-

Shego sighed and looked at the clock while lying upside down on the couch. Kim was supposed to have gotten home fifteen minutes ago, and she was thoroughly bored out of her skull. Just as that thought passed through her head, she heard the door opening.

"Pumpkin!" She called out in greeting, flying off the couch and running towards the door.

"Hi Shego," was all Kim had time to say before she was swept into the air by Shego's hug. "I guess that means you missed me?" Kim asked with a laugh.

Shego opened her mouth to respond when she noticed that they weren't alone. Putting Kim down, she shot a glare at the boy in the doorway. The last she had heard, Kim was still fighting with him, so was automatically on Shego's list.

"Oh, Shego, me and Ron made up, so I was hoping all three of us could hang out today." Kim shot her a look saying 'be nice'.

Ron gave a nervous laugh and waved. Shego gave him a long hard look before turning her eyes back to Kim.

"You mean I have to spend all day with him?" Shego pouted; she had been looking forward to alone time with Kim.

"Come on, it won't be that bad! I'm sure you two can be friends too." Kim smiled.

Shego hid a grimace for Kim's sake. If it was for Kim, she could deal with the buffoon for a day. Ron, on the other hand, wasn't so sure he'd make it out of the Possible house alive, due to the looks Shego was shooting at him.

"Well, this should be… fun" Ron laughed nervously.
