Note: Well, here's chapter 3 sorry for the delay, I did get over the flu but haven't been able to get a lot of writing done, since it's winter break I've been trying to get back to writing on a daily basis again. Anyway, back to the story…
So far it had been a rather interesting morning at Middleton High. Although she sounded sincere, Kim wasn't sure about Shego going to the same school as she and Ron. Once in a while she looked over her shoulder to see what Shego was doing. The three of them didn't talk much until they got to math class.
"So, this is math class, doesn't seem so bad." said Shego as she entered the classroom.
"Wait till you meet Ms. Whisp." Ron told her.
"Don't listen to Ron, he's just nervous about failing algebra again." Said Kim.
"Hey! I'm not nervous." Ron exclaimed.
"Ok, maybe a little." He confessed after a minute.
Shego raised an eyebrow as she looked at him.
"Is he always like this?" she asked.
Kim turned around before answering.
"Pretty much, you should've seen him during last week's biology class."
"Why? What happened?" Shego asked, feeling curious.
"Well, it's like this. There was this frog and…" Kim stopped short when the door opened.
"I'll tell you later," she whispered.
"That's Ms. Whisp?" Shego asked, glancing at the person who entered the room.
"Yep," Ron answered.
"Quit it." Said Kim in an effort to not to get in trouble for talking.
"Good morning, class." Ms. Whisp greeted.
"Morning Ms. Whisp." The class replied.
"Now, you've all studied for today's algebra test, right?" she asked.
"Yes Ms. Whisp." The class answered in a dull tone.
"Psst, Shego you never studied for this test, you're new here." Ron pointed out.
"I know, relax I'll be fine." Shego told him.
"I hope," she said to herself.
Moments later…
Ms. Whisp sat at her desk, watching as the students prepared for the test.
"All you have thirty minutes, starting now." She announced.
No sooner did she finish her sentence; Kim, Ron and everyone else picked up their pencils and got started.
"Hmm, what's the answer for problem three?" Ron wondered.
"I got it!" he then wrote down his answer.
Shego bit the end of her pencil as she stared at her paper.
Letting out a sigh, she continued to write.
Just then, she was alerted by the sound of a pencil snapping.
"Psst… new girl, psst… hey!" someone behind her whispered.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, Shego turned around to see who it was.
"There's no way I'm giving you the answer." She said.
"No, no, not that. You got a pencil I can barrow? Mine just broke." The other student, Felix Renton explained.
"Uh… sure." Shego replied and handed a No. 2 pencil to him.
"Thanks," said Felix before he went back to work.
Shego glanced at the paper on her desk once more.
"Eight down, twelve to go." She said quietly.
Minutes later, Kim finished and turned her test paper.
"Thank you, Kim. You can go now." Said Ms. Whisp.
"Just a quick reminder class, tomorrow you receive your test results."
"Nice," Ron said sarcastically.
"Relax Ron, this test is easy." Said Penny, who was sitting behind him.
"My sisters passed it." Bonnie added.
"Yeah, sure." Ron replied in a dull tone.
"Well, I tried." Penny said.
Bonnie sighed, normally she wasn't all that encouraging but she could see Ron was having a hard time.
"Yes you did. Math's just not… one of Ron's specialties." She told Penny.
"I heard that," said Ron.
"Oy," Kim groaned, shaking her head. After grabbing her backpack and algebra book she left the room.
A short time later, Penny walked out.
"Hey Penny, who's left?" Kim asked.
"Ron, Felix, Bonnie, the new girl and a couple other people." Penny explained.
Kim looked through the small window on the door then at Penny.
"I hope Ron makes it in one piece." She admitted.
"Eh, he will. See ya." Said Penny before she headed down the hall towards her locker.
Kim looked at the classroom door a second time and sighed. It was going to be a long day.
Fifteen minutes later, Bonnie and Big Mike walked out.
As soon as they were gone, Kim looked through the window again.
Ron growled in frustration trying to answer the next question on the test paper.
"Dang! This is hard." He admitted.
"Phew! Done," said Felix, he picked up his paper and went to turn it in.
"Psst… Ron, I'm finished, I'll see you outside." Shego whispered.
"Mm-hmm," Ron muttered, not taking his eyes off his paper.
"Whoo, that was rough." Said Shego once she and Felix were outside.
"How's he doing?" Kim asked.
"He seemed kinda…" Shego started to say.
"Frustrated," Felix finished.
"So, I see." Said Kim.
The next person to leave the classroom was Crystal.
Felix had left a few minutes ago, now it was just Kim and Shego.
"He's been in there a long time." Shego said after a moment of silence.
"Yes," Kim agreed.
Just then, she heard a noise and saw the door open.
"There he is!"
"So, how'd it go?" Kim asked as she and Shego walked up to him.
"Eh, all right I suppose." Said Ron as the three of them walked towards the lockers.
"Doesn't sound like it," Shego replied.
"Algebra's not my best subject." Ron announced.
"It's not mine either, truth be told, my test scores were probably no different than yours during my freshman year." Said Shego.
"Think so?" Ron asked.
Shego nodded.
"Wow, I… never would've pictured that." Said Ron.
"Me neither," said Kim.
"Well, that was then, this is now. After that, I got better, I studied hard, and… with Mego's help I passed my final exam that semester." Shego continued.
"Wait, your brothers helped you with your homework?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, well Mego did. He's good at math and science." Shego answered.
"So, life with your brothers wasn't always bad. I knew it!" Ron said triumphantly.
"Yes Stoppable, we did get along at some point. It changed when we moved to Go City." Shego explained.
Kim raised an eye brow at hearing this.
"Moved? So, Go City's not your hometown?"
"Nope." Shego replied.
"Then, where's home for you?" Ron asked.
Shego stopped in front of a row of lockers before answering.
"Atlanta, Georgia."
"Wow," was all Kim could say.
"I never thought of you as a southern girl," said Ron.
Shego looked up from the lock code sheet she was reading.
"Where'd ya think I was from?" she asked.
"Eh, I don't know, L.A.?" Ron answered.
"I thought Seattle." Said Kim.
Shego shook her head.
"Nah, I've been to both cities but I'm not a native." She replied.
"Anyhow…" Ron started to say, as he watched Shego turn the lock on her locker.
"When was the last time you've been to Georgia?" Kim asked.
Shego stopped what she was doing and looked at Kim and Ron.
"We're getting of the subject," she said in her familiar firm tone.
"Why? What's wrong? Did something happen before you and your brothers left?" Ron asked.
"Look, Ron I… I'd rather not talk about it, 'kay?" said Shego whose tone switched from firm to sad.
"I understand," Ron replied.
"That was different," he whispered to Kim.
"Sure was," she agreed.
Just then a familiar voice rang out.
"Hey y'all," Monique greeted.
"Who's your new friend?"
As if on cue, the locker door in front of her slammed shut.
"Oh! Hi," said Shego who was startled by Monique.
Monique nearly fell over.
"Shego?!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, Monique it's me." Shego replied.
"Ok, how is it you remember our names?" Ron asked.
Shego leaned back against her locker.
"I've ran into you guys enough times to know." She answered.
"Oh, yeah right." said Ron.
"I heard you were going back to school, didn't think you'd end up here." Monique continued.
"I didn't think so either but nobody else took my application." Shego explained.
"Huh, well that bites but if you're gonna go back to school, why not enroll here?" said Monique.
"Good point." Shego agreed.
"Nice shirt." Monique said, pointing out Shego's black and green striped long sleeve shirt.
"Thanks." Said Shego.
"Club Banana?" Monique asked.
"Smarty-Mart." Shego replied.
Kim and Ron snickered.
"What's so funny?" Shego asked.
"I thought you didn't shop at Smarty-Mart." Said Ron.
"I normally don't, this was a shirt I've had for a while. My… Mom bought it for me." Shego explained.
"Nice, it's even got your initial on it." Ron pointed out.
Shego looked at her shirt and saw what Ron meant.
"Yeah, it's an iron-on patch. My brothers have shirts like this too."
"Must mean something to you." Said Monique.
Shego paused for a brief moment.
"Yes, it does." She replied.
After about two seconds, Shego glanced at her list.
"Ok, got my I.D., calendar, class schedule, locker number…"
Monique cut her off.
"Hold the phone, which locker do you have?"
Shego glanced at the list before answering.
"Twenty-three, why?"
"Hi-ho, neighbor." Said Monique.
"You're my neighbor?!" Shego exclaimed.
"Yep," Monique replied.
"Wow, this really is a small world." Said Shego.
"So, you just started?" Monique asked, changing the subject.
"Going here? Yeah, first day, I'm still learning the ropes." Shego replied.
"Well then, you came to the right place." Monique answered.
"Monique knows everybody." Kim added.
"And you don't?" Shego asked.
"Of course, I know everyone but… Monique's more up to speed." Kim explained.
"Hang on, you aren't one of those gossiping or rumor spreading types are you?" Shego continued.
"Me? No, not at all." Monique assured her.
"Phew! Good," Shego sighed.
"Let me give you the tour." Monique offered.
"This'll be fun," said Ron.
"Oh, yeah, I can't wait to see this." Kim agreed, watching Monique and Shego go ahead of them.
For the next half hour, Monique showed Shego around Middleton High with Kim and Ron watching the entire time. So far it went well and the four of them seemed to be getting along.
"And that's pretty much it." Monique concluded as they walked down another hallway.
"Gosh, that was… great, thanks Monique." Said Shego.
"Anytime," Monique replied.
"What's that down there?" Shego asked, pointing to the opposite end of the hallway.
Monique looked in the same direction as Shego and saw what she was talking about.
"Oh, that?" that's D-hall." She answered.
"Detention hall? Doesn't seem so bad." Said Shego.
"Doesn't seem so bad? Shego, D-hall is like the worst part of the school, everybody tries to avoid that place." Ron explained.
"Ron, be serious." Shego replied.
"I am serious! I heard students from the '80s are still doing time." Said Ron.
At that moment, Kim, Monique and Shego started laughing.
"Oh, that's ridiculous." Shego said after a while.
"I agree," Monique added.
"Me too." Kim replied.
"I'm not joking, you ever heard of Courtney?" Ron asked.
Monique raised an eyebrow.
"Who's Courtney?" she asked.
"Exactly my point." Ron answered.
"Any of you get that?" Kim asked, looking towards Shego and Monique.
"No," Shego replied.
"Not really," said Monique.
"Good, cause I didn't either." Said Kim before they continued on their way.
A short time later, they were back at Kim's locker.
"So, anything else I need to know?" Shego asked, regarding the school.
"Not that I'm aware of." Monique answered.
Just then Kim thought of something… er…. Someone.
"Oh! Wait, there is one more thing. Avoid Bonnie Rockwaller."
"Why, what's so bad about her?" Shego asked.
"She's pushy." Said Kim.
"She's self-centered." Ron added.
"And high strung." Monique pointed out.
"Wow, she sounds like a girl I used to go to school with." Said Shego who shuddered at the thought.
"I don't even want to think about it." She added.
"Yikes." Was Monique's reply.
She looked at her watch and quickly realized what time it was.
"It's almost noon, we better go." She pointed out.
"Yeah, the lunch rush is pretty crazy." Kim agreed.
"Crazy? It's a zoo! C'mon, I don't want to be there when all that's left are soggy green beans and burnt corndogs." Said Ron before he started going ahead.
"Remind me to find a table that seats four people." Said Kim.
"How come?" Shego asked.
"Let's just say, you don't want to come between Ron and food." Kim answered.
"I agree, the last time I came over for dinner and sat near the hot wings I almost lost an eye." Monique explained.
Moments later…
"I'll have today's special and hold the sauce, will you?" Said Ron, who was standing in line.
At that moment the plate hit his tray with a loud 'clang'.
"Next!" the Cafeteria lady called out.
"So much for that." Ron muttered as he walked to a table and sat down.
He looked at his plate which had two corndogs, mashed potatoes and green beans.
"Aw well, beggars can't be choosers." He sighed before he took a bite out of the corndog.
"Huh, not bad."
"Corn dog?" Ron asked, offering the extra.
"I'll pass," Shego answered.
"Ok," said Ron before he went back to eating.
"I don't know how you do it, Possible." Shego admitted.
"What, sit with Ron during lunch? After Pre-K you get used to it." Kim explained.
"Shego glanced at Monique.
"And you?"
"I have an older brother but he's nothin' like this." Monique replied.
"Neither are mine except Hego but that's another story." Said Shego.
As soon she opened the Ziploc she pulled out of a brown paper bag she saw Ron staring at her.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Eh, nothing special, just a pastrami sandwich, with whole wheat, some mustard, lettuce and tomato." Shego answered.
"Uh-huh," was Ron's reply.
"Why do you ask?" Shego continued.
"Oh, nothing just curious." Said Ron.
"Ron," Kim started to say.
"Yeah, K.P.?" He replied.
"You're drooling." Kim pointed out.
Ron looked down and saw the small puddle on the table.
"My bad." He said nervously as he grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth.
Feeling uneasy, Shego moved a few inches away from Ron.
One hour later…
"So, how you likin' Middleton, so far?" Monique asked.
"It's… all right, I mean I…" Shego stopped short when Felix's voice rang out.
"Hey new girl!"
"Hi… wait, I remember you," said Shego.
"Yeah, algebra class, you look sorta familiar." Felix replied.
"I get that a lot," Shego answered nervously.
"Name's Felix… Felix Renton and you are?" he started to say.
"Sheena Gomer." Shego replied.
"Nice to meet you," said Felix as he and Shego shook hands.
"Likewise," she said.
Felix glanced at his watch and nearly panicked.
"Yikes! I'm gonna be late for biology class. Gotta go…" he was about to leave when he remembered something.
"Oh, here's your pencil back." Felix continued handing it back to Shego.
"Uh, thanks." She said to him.
"Later guys," Felix called before he started to leave.
"Yeah," Shego said sheepishly.
"See ya," Kim, Ron and Monique replied in unison.
"We better go too, geography starts in ten minutes." Kim pointed out.
"Right behind you." Said Ron.
"Hey!" Shego shouted.
"Wait for us!" Monique exclaimed.
A few moments later they reached geography class. Some of the students looked at the blackboard and took notes. Others stared out the nearby windows, obviously bored.
"And then if we look on this map here we see that Mount Shasta is south of…" Ms. Carlson stopped short when the bell rang.
"Well that's all for today class, see you tomorrow."
Shortly after, the students got up and began to grab their textbooks and pencils. Some were talking were either taking about the class or something that happened during lunch.
"Don't forget, next week you'll be designing your own maps." Ms. Carlson reminded them.
At that moment, they all groaned.
"And Ronald." Ms. Carlson started to say.
"Yes, Ms. Carlson?" he asked.
"I'll be checking your work. I don't want you to copy it out of National Geographic like you did last time." She answered. Her hazel eyes looking above her reading glasses.
"Sure thing, Ms. Carlson." Ron said with a sigh.
Ms. Carlson grew up in Hoboken and had lived in Brooklyn for five years. It was obvious she had no problem dealing with students who tried to get out doing a homework assignment.
"Phew! Can you believe it?" Ron asked after leaving the classroom.
"Ron, drawing a map isn't that hard." Said Kim.
"Yeah, for you. I suck at it." He admitted.
"Stoppable, chill. Geography is actually one of my better subjects." Shego replied.
"Seriously?" Ron said in surprise.
"Yes," was Shego's response.
"Wow," said Kim.
"Who knew?" Ron continued.
"I didn't," said Monique chiming in.
"Hey, when you're traveling all over with somebody like Drakken, it helps to know how to read a map." Shego pointed out.
"Doesn't that, hover- what-cha-ma-call-it have a GPS system?" Ron asked.
"It does but a regular map is a good back up." Shego answered.
"I agree," said Monique.
Just then she was learned by a loud 'thud'
"Hey, watch it!" A familiar voice exclaimed.
"Uh-oh," Monique, Ron and Kim said at the same time.
"My bad, but whoa, no offense but you need to cut back on the strawberry shampoo." Said Shego as she stood up.
"And just who are you?" the other girl asked.
"Name's Sheena." Shego answered.
"Never heard of you." The girl in front of her replied.
"I'm new around here, wait a second, you must be Bonnie Rockwaller." Said Shego.
"Correct, glad you know th…hang on, how do you know?" Bonnie asked.
"Some little birds told me." Shego explained.
Bonnie looked to the right noticing Kim, Monique and Ron not too far away.
"I see. Well, Sheena I've got cheer practice so if you'll excuse me…" said Bonnie; she walked by Shego catching her off guard. She yelped in surprise, dropping her binder and textbook in the process.
"Oops! Sorry." Bonnie said in a rather indifferent tone.
"Listen Bonnie, I'm not some push over, I've got a right to be here just as much as you do." Shego told her.
"Right, look here, just because you're new doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you. Now outta my way." She said.
"Sure thing," Shego muttered.
Bonnie walked by Kim who had opened her mouth to say something.
"Don't even think of letting her join our squad, there's already eight of us. No extras allowed." She said.
"Now wait a second…" Kim started to say.
"Gotta go," Bonnie replied before she headed off to the gym.
"I'll deal with her later." Kim said to herself. Even though she and Shego weren't exactly friends, Kim wasn't keen on how Bonnie treated new students.
"You all right?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Shego assured him.
She fixed her hair and picked up her textbook and binder.
"You were right about her, she's a trip."
"That's Bonnie for you," Kim replied.
"I mean, what makes her think I'd want to join the cheer squad, anyway?" Shego asked.
"I guess she figured you and I were friends and I would try to suggest that…" Kim was cut off.
"I join your group? Geez! She's got it all wrong; I don't even want to try out. As far as I'm concerned, I'm fine staying out of her way." Said Shego.
"That's good." Kim answered.
"It takes a while to get used to somebody like Bonnie." Monique pointed out.
"Yeah," Ron added.
"How do you put up with her?" Shego asked.
"I just ignore most of the things she says, it's hard but after a while you shake it off." Kim explained.
"So, in other words, take it with a grain of salt?" Shego concluded.
"Right." Said Kim.
"You were pretty calm back there, I mean just now." Ron pointed out.
"Well, she caught me off guard, first of all. Second, during the time I was on Team Go, I learned how to control my willpower. Believe me, it takes a lot of self-control." Shego explained.
"I would think so," Kim replied.
"Same here," Monique agreed.
"If there's one thing growing up with my brothers and working with Dr. Drakken taught me is to keep my cool." Said Shego.
"Good," Kim sighed.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since they evacuated the school because of a fire." Said Ron.
Shego snorted, in an effort to keep from laughing.
"Ron, please it would take someone or something really awful to make me angry, trust me." She assured him.
Moments later…
"So, where are you off to?" Shego asked.
"Cheer practice," Kim answered.
"Really?" Shego asked in a puzzled tone.
"Yeah, wanna watch?" Kim asked.
"No thanks, I'll catch you later." Said Shego, being anywhere near Bonnie was the last thing on her mind.
She stepped outside for a moment and pulled out her cellphone.
After pressing two on speed dial, she waited.
"Hello? Dr. D, it's me I just got out." She said once he answered.
"Oh that's great, how'd your first day go?" Drakken asked.
"All right, I guess, this one girl…" Shego stopped short when she heard a beep.
"I got another call, talk to you later."
She hung up and pressed another button to answer.
"Hello? Hey! I'm glad you called. Do you know who this is? It's your cousin Sheena, yeah… how are you doing Nicky?"
"That's good, listen, Nick I'm in town and… you are? So when will you be back? Tomorrow? Ok... no, I'll be fine… no, no I got a place to stay for tonight. Thanks for calling; I'll see you tomorrow, bye." Said Shego before she hung up.
Letting out a loud sigh she sat down on the steps.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." She muttered.
1 hour later…
"Great job, girls, see you tomorrow." Said Kim.
"Bye Kim." The other cheerleaders called out.
"Phew! Now to find Ron, head over to Bueno Nacho and…." Kim paused when she spotted someone up ahead.
"Shego, you're still here?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" she replied.
"Well, I thought you would've gone home by now." Kim admitted.
"I would but Drakken's place is pretty far. I was almost late getting here, even with my bike." Shego explained.
"I see, by you've got another place to stay, right?" Kim asked.
"Yes… and no. I was going to stay with my cousins but they're out of town and won't be back until tomorrow so…" Shego was cut off.
"Look, Shego."
"Yeah?" she replied.
Kim gulped, obviously not sure about what to say.
"How about this…. My parents have an extra room…" she continued.
"So?" Shego asked, still puzzled.
"You're welcome to stay with me." Kim offered.
"You?!" Shego asked in shock. Did she hear what she just think she heard?
"I'm not big on the idea either but if you need a place to spend the night…" Kim stopped short.
"You brought up a valid point. I was actually going to ask you first." Said Shego.
"Listen, if it's gonna be a problem…" Kim replied.
"No, no, not at all. I guess… we could…" Shego stopped and swallowed hard.
"Learn to get along," she finished.
"Great," Kim sighed, glad to have that settled.
"What up, K.P.?" Ron greeted her as he walked out of the school.
He looked at Kim, then Shego and then Kim again.
"Did I miss something?" he asked.
"No" both girls answered simultaneously.
"If you say so." Said Ron who couldn't help but notice the awkward silence between Kim and Shego.
Later…
"So, explain this to me again?" Shego asked as she walked to get her bike.
"We walk in and hopefully no one's home." Kim answered.
"Why are you so worried? It's not like I've never met your family." Shego pointed out.
"I just need time to explain things to my parents is all. They're not keen about unwanted house guests." said Kim.
"So, somebody like, say one of your arch foes who happens to be your new classmate would count?" Shego concluded.
"Pretty much," Kim answered.
"Fine," Shego sighed.
"Listen, I gotta run back to the lair so I'll catch up with you later." She explained as she removed the lock on her bike.
"Do you need directions to my house? Because I can…" Kim was once again cut off.
"Relax, I know where you live. See you in a bit, Kimmie." Said Shego.
After getting on her bike and making sure her helmet was secure she rode off.
Moments later, she reached Drakken's lair which was currently quiet. There was no sign of her boss or the henchmen anywhere.
"Dr. D? Hello?" Shego called.
Just then, she noticed a post-it note on his desk and read it.
"Went to visit Mama Lipsky, two for one special at Mac Shack, will be back later."
Shego sighed, sounding somewhat disappointed.
"Swell…" she groaned.
Going into her room she picked up the suitcase she had packed the night before.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
She doubled back, grabbing the shoebox with the photo album and other knick-knacks.
"Bye Puddles, catch ya later." Shego said as she quickly passed by the toy poodle.
Before he could react, Shego closed the backdoor behind her.
Puddles frowned, first his owner had left, now Shego. What was that about?
Sometime later, Shego arrived at Kim's house. She then parked her bike near the driveway. Taking her suitcase and backpack from the basket attached to the rear of the bike, she went up to the front door and knocked.
"Hey Possible, I'm back."
It didn't take long for Kim to open the door.
"Wow, that was fast." She said.
"Just call me speedy," Shego replied as she walked in.
Kim then shut the door behind her.
"So, where's your sidekick?" Shego asked.
"Had to head home early, his Dad's changing the tires on their car." Kim answered.
"And you folks?" Shego continued.
"Well, Jim and Tim have soccer practice, Mom's working late at the hospital and Dad's gonna be at the space center till six so… that just leaves us with… time to ourselves, I guess." Kim explained.
"Yeah, sounds like it. Now what?" said Shego.
"We might as well study." Kim suggested.
"Good call," Shego agreed.
"My room's up here." Said Kim, leading Shego the ladder that went upstairs.
Shego looked around the room for a moment.
"Nice place you got here."
"Um… thanks." Said Kim was surprised at Shego's compliment.
"I really mean that… it's cool." Shego told her wanting Kim to know she was being sincere.
Normally neither one of them would be this calm around each other but Shego knew if she wanted to get through high school she had to adjust. Even if it meant learning to get along with Kim Possible.
She glanced at the floor and noticed something sticking out from under the bed.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Panda-roo." Kim answered.
"Wait, isn't Panda-roo a cuddle buddy?" Shego said, chuckling at the site.
"Give me that. I don't care about that old thing." Kim growled as she grabbed Panda-roo and dusted off the stuffed animal.
Shego just glanced at her and didn't say anything.
Kim made eye contact and raised an eyebrow. It was pretty awkward. She put Panda-roo on her headboard before she spoke.
"Right… let's get started."
"Way ahead of you." Shego agreed before she went to grab her textbooks.
A few minutes later…
What was the assignment again?" Shego asked.
"World history." Kim answered.
"Oh, right." Shego said sheepishly.
"You ok? You act like you've never done history homework before." Kim pointed out.
"It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm out of practice, cut me a break, 'kay?" Shego admitted.
"Sure thing," said Kim before opening the textbook.
"Ok, here's page twenty-two."
For next three hours, Kim and Shego worked on their homework. The subjects were World history, Calculus and English. They hardly spoke to each other apart from asking a question.
The two of them were alerted by the sound of a door opening.
"What was that?" Shego asked.
"The sound of the back door opening," Kim replied.
She froze and thought about what she just said.
"The back door! Oh no, I'll be right back. Stay here."
"No problem." Shego answered.
Kim went downstairs to investigate who else was in the house.
"Now who's…?"
"Hey Kim." Her brothers greeted her.
"You guys are home?" she asked.
"Yeah," Tim answered.
"Katie's mom dropped us off," Jim explained.
"What are you up to?" Tim asked.
"Uh… just studying." Kim replied.
"With Ron?" Jim asked.
"Someone else, Ron is helping his Dad change the tires on his car." Kim explained.
"Oh," Tim replied dully.
"Cool," said Jim.
"See ya," they said simultaneously before heading off to their room.
"Phew! That was close." Kim sighed and went back upstairs.
"Who was it?" Shego asked.
"My brothers, no big." Kim answered. She was surprised to see Shego patiently waiting for her to come back.
"Uh-huh," Shego replied in dull tone.
"Glad that's over." Kim admitted.
No sooner did she finish her sentence the doorbell rang.
"Maybe not." Said Shego.
"Hang on," Kim replied before going back downstairs.
She answered the door and was surprised to see Ron and Rufus.
"Ron? I thought you were working on your Dad's car." Kim said.
"We're done, I just came by to return that book I borrowed. Thanks." Ron explained.
He then handed Kim the book.
"You're welcome," she said.
"Did you like it?"
"Nah, the ending wasn't great." Ron replied.
"Sorry," Kim apologized.
"So, how are things going with Shego?" Ron asked.
"It's been… pretty good actually." Kim admitted.
Despite their differences she and Shego seemed to be getting along.
"Really? Wow can't believe it." Said Ron.
"Neither can I," Kim replied.
"And none of your limbs are missing." Ron added.
"Ok, I get the point!" Kim exclaimed.
"How are you gonna explain it to your folks?" Ron asked.
"That one of my arch foes is going to our school and spending the night? I'll think of something." Kim answered.
For a while she was trying to think of a way to tell her parents and her brothers but hadn't quite figured out how to go about doing it just yet.
"Well, have fun with that. See ya." Said Ron.
"Bye," Kim called out before shutting the door.
"That was fast," Shego said once Kim entered the room.
"It was just Ron dropping off a book." Kim explained.
"Oh," was all Shego said.
"It's 6:30, my Mom should be home soon, same with my Dad." Kim continued.
"And you still haven't figured out how to explain this whole thing?" Shego asked.
"I'm working on it." Said Kim.
"Got'cha," Shego replied before going back to work on her homework.
Moments later…
The front door opened and a familiar voice rang out.
"Kimmie, we're home."
"Great," Kim sighed, she instantly recognized her mother's voice.
"Time to face the music."
"Wait here," she told Shego before going downstairs.
"Hi Mom, Hi Dad." She greeted her parents.
"Hey there Kimmie-cub, how was school?" Mr. Possible asked.
"Fine, we had a new student join our class." Kim answered.
"That's great, maybe you and Ron can show him around." Dr. Possible pointed out.
"Already did, in fact we've been doing our homework and so far she's… doing great." Kim said sheepishly.
"And this new kid on the block is…?" Mr. Possible asked.
"Sheena." Kim replied.
"Huh, that name sounds familiar, can't put my finger on it though." Dr. Possible replied.
"Is she still here?" Mr. Possible asked.
"Uh…yeah," said Kim.
"Well then, she's welcome to stay for dinner, there's always room for one more." Dr. Possible added.
"Swell, hang on a second." Kim replied nervously before she quickly headed back up to her room.
"So, what's the deal?" Shego asked, looking up from the English textbook she was reading.
"You ok with having dinner with my family?" Kim answered.
"Eh, guess I don't have much of a choice do I?" Shego replied.
"Not really," said Kim.
Shego sighed, she and Kim both knew they'd have to come clean and having dinner with the family was more than likely the best time to do so.
"Sure, I'll come down."
"'Kay." Kim replied before leaving the room.
"She said yes,"
"Good. Jim, Tim set an extra place at the table." Said Dr. Possible.
"Sure thing, Mom." Jim replied.
"Wait, who's Sheena?" Tim asked.
"Yeah," Jim added.
"You'll find out." Kim replied.
15 minutes later…
"Kimmie, dinner's ready." Dr. Possible called.
"This is it, ready?" Kim asked.
"As I'll ever be." Shego answered.
Setting their books and school papers aside the two of them got up and left the room.
"Can you believe Kim has already made friends with a new student?" Dr. possible asked.
"That's our girl; leave it to her to roll out the welcome wagon." Said Mr. Possible.
"Yeah but…" Tim started.
"Just who is this Sheena?" Jim finished.
"We'll find out and boys…" Dr. Possible started to say.
Jim and Tim looked up.
"Be nice," she said.
"Yes Mom," the two of them replied simultaneously.
"So, what's for dinner?" Kim asked as she entered the dining room.
"Well, since we got home late I picked up something from Noodle Gourmet. Vegetable low mein, Mongolian beef, Lemon chicken, honey walnut shr…" Mr. Possible stopped short when he saw who was standing behind Kim.
"What is it?" Kim asked.
"Shego's right behind you." Tim pointed out.
"Wha?!" Kim sputtered.
She turned around and saw Shego standing there.
"Oh, yeah." Kim said nervously.
"Whoa, back the truck up. Kim what's your arch foe's sidekick doing in our house?" Mr. Possible asked.
"She decided to go back to school and Middleton High was the only place that would accept her application. She was going to stay with her cousins but they're out of town and won't be back until tomorrow. She needed a place to stay so I offered and Sheena is her real name. Phew!" Kim explained in three minutes flat.
Everyone was silent but only for a few seconds.
"O…K." was all Mr. Possible could say.
"So, you're…" Tim started.
"Our sister's new classmate?" Jim finished.
Shego nodded in reply.
"Whoa!" Tim exclaimed.
"Cool!" said Jim.
"Now boys, there's nothing cool about your sister's foe going to the same school, let alone staying overnight here." Mr. Possible told them.
Just then, Jim thought of something.
"Wait, your real name is Sheena?" he asked.
"Sure is," Shego replied.
"You have a last name?" Tim asked.
"It's Gomer." Shego answered.
"Interesting." Said Tim.
"Jim, Tim why don't you go help your mother." Mr. Possible suggested.
"But…" the two of them started to say.
"Now," Mr. Possible said firmly.
"Yes, Dad." Jim and Tim replied in unison before they left.
"Now you tell me, is everything Kim said true?" he asked, looking towards Shego.
"Absolutely," she replied.
"And you're here just to finish school, right? Not spying for your boss." He continued.
"Yes sir." Said Shego.
"All right." Was his reply.
"So, can she stay?" Kim asked.
"I don't know," Mr. Possible answered.
"Honestly, I'm not here to spy on Kim or any of you." Shego insisted.
"Shego's right, the entire time we've been here all we've done is homework." Kim added.
"Uh-huh, and your folks will be back when?" Mr. Possible asked.
"Tomorrow, after that I'll be staying with them. I promise I won't contact Drakken as long as I'm here. So…" Shego continued.
"Can she stay?" Kim asked.
Mr. Possible couldn't help but smile, the look on Kim and Shego's faces was priceless.
The puppy dog pout was pretty funny.
"Ok, Kim she can stay but at the first sign of trouble, she's gone." He said.
Kim and Shego smiled briefly but then their jaws dropped at hearing the end of the sentence.
"Sure," Shego said sheepishly.
"Right," Kim agreed.
A short time later they were all sitting in the dining room.
Dr. Possible looked around for a moment.
Mr. Possible just blinked as he looked in the same direction.
Jim and Tim frowned as they glanced at Kim.
Sitting next to Kim was Shego.
Nobody spoke, the only sound that could be heard were chopsticks tapping against the plates.
After a while Dr. Possible decided to break the silence.
She cleared her throat, which quickly alerted everyone else.
"So… how was school today, Kim?" she asked.
"Well, apart from Shego… uh… Sheena joining the class it was fine." The young red head answered.
"And what about you?" Dr. Possible asked.
Shego quickly looked up, obviously confused.
"Me?" she replied.
"Yes," Dr. Possible answered.
"Ok, I guess." Said Shego.
Dr. Possible raised an eyebrow.
"Just ok?"
"I don't really know anybody there," Shego admitted, before picking up a shrimp.
"Oh, well give it sometime I'm sure you'll make friends." Dr. Possible encouraged.
Jim and Tim snickered but stopped when they noticed the angry looks on their mother and Kim's faces.
"Sorry," they said at the same time.
"So, Sheena any particular reason why you're going back to school?" Mr. Possible asked.
Shego froze for a moment; it had been a while since anyone had called her by her real name.
"I dropped out," she replied.
"What?!" Jim and Tim exclaimed.
"Let me finish." Shego told them, she exhaled loudly before she went on.
"I dropped out a few months after my brothers and I moved to Go City, the whole superhero thing took up a lot of time and… it just didn't work out. I tried, I really did but… I never finished."
Once again the room was silent but not for long.
"I see," Mr. Possible replied.
"I'll be honest; I don't know how Kim does it." Shego admitted.
"Does what?" Kim asked, looking up from her plate.
"The whole teen heroine gig and then going to high school on top of all that." Shego answered.
Kim swallowed some low mein noodles before answering.
"Starting out it… wasn't easy, but over time I got better at working around my daily schedule."
"Interesting." Said Shego.
Looking to the right, she noticed Jim and Tim watching her.
"What up with the staring?" she asked.
"Nothing it's just that…" Jim started.
"We've never seen you this close to our sister before without, ya know…" Tim finished.
"The gloves and stuff?" Shego asked.
"Yeah," Jim answered.
"Well, on any given day, we probably wouldn't be this quiet." Shego confessed.
"True," Kim agreed.
"But since I'm staying here and going to Middleton high, I decided I better behave myself." Shego continued.
"Now this I'd like to see," said Jim.
"Me too," Tim agreed.
"Hey, I got willpower and self-control, I can handle it. What about you, Kim?" Shego replied.
"Same here," said Kim.
Just then, Shego had an idea.
"I heard you guys play soccer."
Jim and Tim were stunned, was Shego really talking to them?
"That we do." said Jim.
"You play?" Tim asked.
"Nah, I'm more of a basketball fan myself." Said Shego.
Jim and Tim laughed.
"Shut up," Jim replied.
"Get out of town," said Tim.
"I'm serious, my friends back in Atlanta formed a team, been a while since I played though." Shego explained.
"There's a court at Middleton park, me and Monique played there with Ron and Brick once… maybe you should join us sometime." Kim suggested.
Shego nearly choked on a piece of beef when she heard this.
"What? No, I'm rusty."
"Rusty? You ought to watch Ron." Said Kim.
"Really? That's a scream." Shego replied.
"Oh, it is." Kim told her.
She took a bite out of a honey walnut shrimp and then quickly grabbed her glass of iced tea.
"Kim, are you ok?" Dr. Possible asked.
Kim coughed before she spoke.
"I'm fine but that shrimp was pretty spicy. Almost like it had…"
She paused and looked at the remaining shrimp on her plate and noticed something odd about it.
"Cheyenne pepper?"
"Where did that come from?" Mr. Possible wondered.
"Uh…" was all Jim and Tim could say.
"You two want to explain this?" Shego asked.
"Oh, look at the time we better…" Jim started to say.
"Get ready for the science fair tomorrow." Tim finished for him.
See ya!" they said before quickly leaving the room.
"You know, maybe I should invite you over more often," Kim joked.
"Kim," said Dr. Possible.
"Just a thought," Kim replied.
When they had finished dinner, Kim and Shego were given the job of washing the dishes.
While neither one of them were big on the idea, it did give them a chance to talk without Jim and Tim eavesdropping and asking questions.
"I have no idea how you can live with those two." Said Shego.
"Two?" Kim asked.
She snickered for a brief moment.
"I don't know how you put up with four."
"It wasn't easy. My Mom she… told me once about how she wanted a daughter." Shego replied.
"And?" Kim asked, sounding rather curious.
"When she had me it was… a big deal to her." Shego finished.
"I'm sure it was, were you close?" Kim continued.
"Yeah, we were… she was the first thing I saw. Well, that's what she told me." Said Shego as she dried off a plate and handed it to Kim.
"And you're telling me all this, why?" the red headed heroine asked.
"Well, I know some things about your life so; I might as well tell you some things about mine." Shego answered.
"Good point," said Kim.
It was only fair that Shego tell her about her family and her life since she knew a few things about Kim.
"Your Mom is real nice, reminds me of mine, actually." Shego confessed.
"What was your Mom like?" Kim asked.
Shego froze and sighed.
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked you that." Said Kim.
"No, no, no, it's all right, honest." Shego replied.
"Ok," Kim answered.
"So, you wanna know what she looks like or personality?" Shego asked.
"Both actually, if you don't mind me asking." Kim answered.
Shego blinked for a moment, then she spoke.
"Anyway… my Mom was… a lot like me. Guess you could say that's where my looks came from."
"And your sarcasm." Kim added.
"Stop right there… as I was saying, she and I we… did a lot of stuff together. People could tell we were related, one person thought we were sisters." Shego continued.
Kim restrained a laugh at hearing this.
"That happened to me once."
"Huh…" Shego replied.
"So, you still in touch with your Mom now?" Kim asked.
Shego lowered her head, going from being upbeat to down-in-the-mouth.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Is she…?" Kim started to say.
"No, I just haven't talked to her in a couple of years." Shego confessed.
"Why is that?" Kim asked.
"Kim, if my Mom knew about me working for Dr. Drakken she'd… I can't even say it." Shego answered, leaning against the kitchen counter.
"I see…. So she doesn't know?" Kim continued.
"I never told her or my Dad." Said Shego.
"Wow that's… I couldn't keep a secret that big. Your brothers haven't said anything, have they?" Kim asked.
"Last time I checked, no." Shego answered before closing the cabinet next to the sink.
"Now, your Dad, what was he like?" Kim replied.
"Nice guy, was shocked when my Mom told him I was a girl." Shego answered.
Kim snickered.
"How long did it take him to get over the shock?"
"Fifteen minutes." Shego replied.
Kim laughed, it was pretty funny.
"But he's a good guy, my brother took after him in looks, only thing Hego got from my Mom was her hair color." Shego said with a sigh.
"You miss them?" Kim asked, regarding Shego's parents.
Shego paused and looked at Kim.
It's ok, you can be honest. Trust me," the young red head assured her.
Shego sniffled.
"Yeah, all the time." She said sadly.
Shego wiped the tears from her right eye.
"But, I've been away and out of touch for so long, that… I don't know."
"I understand." Said Kim. She was rather surprised at just how emotional Shego really was.
"Thanks, you know, Princess, you're not so bad after all." Shego told her.
Kim smiled; she could tell Shego was being sincere.
"I never saw that before." Shego said as she looked towards the living room.
"What?" Kim asked.
"That." Shego answered as she pointed at the couch.
"Where?" Kim continued.
"Over there," said Shego before she started backing up.
"I don't see any…" Kim froze and turned around.
"Shego?"
"Aah!" Kim yelled when she saw something coming towards her.
Next thing she knew she was on the floor.
"Got'cha!" Shego exclaimed before giving Kim a noogie.
"Not the hair!" Kim yelled.
As she got up, Shego released her.
Kim's hair was now a bit of a mess.
"Just couldn't hold it in, could you?" she asked.
"Sorry," said Shego.
"It's fine," Kim replied.
She gasped and pointed at the wall behind Shego.
"Spider!" she yelled.
"Where?!" Shego shouted.
At that moment, Kim started laughing; she then fell over, still laughing.
Shego just stared and said nothing.
Later that night…
"And here's the guest room." Said Kim as she opened the door.
"Not bad." Was Shego's reply as she glanced at the room.
"You ok with this?" Kim asked.
"Sure, I'm fine. Thanks." Shego answered before setting down her suitcase and her laptop.
"What's this?" said Kim, noticing the shoe box Shego had dropped.
"Nothing!" Shego sputtered, as she grabbed the box.
"Just a box."
"No big, I won't ask. If you need anything I'm upstairs, night." Said Kim.
"'night," Shego replied and with that, Kim was gone.
Once the door was closed, Shego let out a loud sigh.
"Might as well get some shut eye." She said to herself.
Meanwhile, Kim was in her room, ready for bed except for one thing.
"Wade, I need you to do a scan, check for any tracking devices." Kim explained.
"Uh, Kim there's nothing on Shego. I already looked. What is it? You don't trust her or something?" Wade asked.
"You can never be too careful." Kim pointed out.
Wade leaned back in his desk chair.
"I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. Sure, she's one of your biggest foes but I don't think she's up to anything."
"You got a point," Kim said with a yawn.
"Well, I got an early start. Good night, Wade."
"See you tomorrow, Kim." said Wade.
Shortly after that, Kim hung up and placed the Kimmunicator on her nightstand.
Back in the guest room, Shego was getting ready to call it a night. Having changed into her pajamas she looked forward to a good night's sleep.
Letting out a yawn, she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I'm exhausted."
She looked at the photo of her mother again and thought about her conversation.
"I really should call her." Shego said to herself before placing the photo back in the shoe box and stretching out.
Kim, meanwhile was ready for bed.
Letting out another yawn she got into bed.
"What a day,"
It wasn't long before everyone in the house was asleep.
The next day…
Kim groaned at hearing her alarm clock.
After two tries she pressed the snooze button.
She sat up and stretched.
"Oy," Kim muttered before getting out of bed.
She then headed down stairs and knocked door of the guest bedroom.
"Shego, you up?" Kim stopped short when she heard the sound of snoring behind the door.
"Ohh, come 'on," she groaned. Kim paused when she heard some familiar footsteps.
"Morning Kim, is Shego up yet?" her Mom asked.
"No, not really." Kim answered.
"Well, you two better get going. Don't want to be late for school." Dr. Possible pointed out.
'You're right," Kim agreed.
Once her Mom had gone into the kitchen, Kim looked at the door
"Ok, that's it." She growled and opened the door.
"Wake up, Shego. Come 'on get up." Said Kim as she nudged her.
"Don't want to." Shego muttered, covering up her face.
Just then, Kim had an idea and stepped out of the room.
"Jim, Tim." She called.
"Hey Kim," Jim greeted her.
"What's up?" Tim asked.
"I need your help." Kim answered.
"Now here's the plan."
She then whispered some instructions and wasn't long before her brothers got the hint.
Moments later…
Jim chuckled as he and Tim entered Shego's room.
"This is too easy." Said Jim.
"Oh yeah," Tim agreed.
He then pressed down on the air horn.
Shego yelled at hearing the sound and immediately spotted the twins.
Kim stood outside the room listening to the whole thing.
She snickered, making it hard for her to keep a straight face.
"Why you little…" Shego muttered and went after the duo.
"Run!" Jim yelled.
"Right behind you," said Tim as they ran out of the room.
Shego groaned and looked at Kim.
"You!" she said angrily.
Kim just grinned, not saying a word.
A short time later, Kim and Shego entered the kitchen, both of them ready for another day at school.
"Can you believe it?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, I know." Shego answered, regarding some conversation they had about Bonnie.
"Morning girls," Mr. possible greeted them.
He looked up from his newspaper and noticed something odd about Shego and Kim.
"You two feeling ok?" he asked.
"We're fine," Shego replied.
"Still trying to wake up," Kim explained.
"I know what that's like. I think you'll feel better once you eat something," Dr. Possible suggested.
"Good point, they say a person's blood pressure is low in the morning because of…" Kim stopped short when she noticed everyone in the room staring at her.
"Never mind."
"And you would know that how?" Shego asked.
"Hey, I can't always avoid my Mom's medical work." Kim answered.
"True," said Shego before she took a bite out of a strip of bacon.
"This is good, what kind of bacon is this?"
"Nitrate free…" Jim answered.
"And Apple wood smoked." Tim finished.
"Nice," said Shego.
Although she was used to the cheaper meats Drakken or the henchmen got at Smarty-mart; it was a nice change of pace.
"Well, Ron should be here in about…" Kim paused when she heard the doorbell ring.
"Five seconds."
"Wow, got that down to a science, don't ya?" said Shego.
"Since first grade." Kim answered. She got up and went to open the door.
"Hey, K.P. ready to roll?" Ron asked.
"Give me two minutes." She replied.
"'Kay," said Ron.
While Kim went upstairs to grab her backpack and school supplies, Ron took a moment to say hello to her parents and Jim and Tim.
"Morning all," he greeted them.
"Hey Stoppable," said Shego.
"Hi Sheg…" Ron stopped short when he spotted a blueberry muffin on the table.
"Anyone gonna eat that muffin?" he asked.
"I don't think so," Shego answered.
"Cool, thanks!" said Ron before picking up the muffin.
Everyone with the exception of Ron and Rufus gave each other odd looks.
"I got nothing to say." said Shego.
A few minutes later…
"We're off to school, bye." Kim called out.
"Bye Kim," her parents replied before the door slammed.
"I… thought we could ride our bikes today. I brought mine." Said Ron.
"Great, I'll get mine." Kim replied.
"Yeah, me too." Said Shego.
A short time later all three of them were on their bikes.
"Ready?" Ron asked.
"You go ahead and start without us." Kim suggested.
"Ok." Said Ron who went on ahead of Shego and Kim.
Once he got a short distance away the two of them looked at each other.
"Now?" Shego asked.
Kim grinned for a brief moment.
"Now!" she said.
Shortly after, the two of them started peddling.
"See you at school, Ron." Kim shouted as she passed by.
"No fair! You guys did that on purpose!" Ron yelled and started peddling faster in an effort to catch up.
Later…
"I won!" Ron said triumphantly.
"No, you didn't." Shego told him.
"Shego's right, I was way ahead of you." Kim agreed.
"No way," said Ron.
"Yes way," Kim and Shego replied at the same time.
"Aww…" Ron groaned and went to park his bike.
"Phew!" Kim sighed.
She then removed her helmet.
"Ugh!" she said.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Helmet hair," Kim answered.
"Bleach! I can't stand that either." Shego admitted as she removed her bike helmet.
Ron then noticed just how messy Kim and Shego's hair really was.
"That's a good look for you." He joked.
The teen heroine and her ache foe's sidekick looked at him angrily.
"And I mean that in the n-nicest possible way." Ron stuttered, grinning at the two of them.
"Yeah, sure." Kim said in a dull tone.
After parking his bike, Ron tried to place the lock on it but wasn't having much success.
"Darn lock." He said.
"Need a hand?" Kim offered.
"Sure do." Ron replied.
"You want me to wait or…?" Shego was cut off.
"We got this," Kim assured her.
"Ok," was Shego's reply. Grabbing her backpack, she went on ahead of Kim and Ron.
"You all right?" Ron asked.
"Oh, yeah." Kim answered.
"Seems like you and Shego are getting' along better." Ron pointed out.
"In a way, we talked last night." Said Kim.
"About what?" Ron asked.
"Her life," Kim replied.
"And you got out of it with all your limbs intact?" Ron said in shock.
"Ron, please, give it a rest, I'm fine." Kim assured him.
"So, how'd it go?" Ron continued.
"What part of her life did you talk about?"
After fixing the lock on Ron's bike, Kim stood up.
"Ron, I think she misses her family." She concluded.
"Wha? No way, K.P. I doubt that, you saw how Shego was when we brought her brothers back to your place." Said Ron who was tying his shoe.
"I meant her parents." Kim added.
"Oh, well that's different." Ron replied.
"Yeah, it is." Kim agreed.
"So, what are you gonna do?" Ron asked, picking up his backpack.
"I don't know, I feel bad for her." Kim admitted.
"Kim, this is Shego we're talking about," Ron pointed out.
"I know, still I think there's more to Shego than we thought." Said Kim.
"Maybe… I mean her brothers didn't tell us a whole lot." Ron added.
"True, maybe Wade can dig up something." Kim replied.
No sooner did she finish her sentence, the school bell rang.
"You remembered your history homework, right?" Kim asked shortly after entering the building.
"Of course," said Ron.
Just then they were alerted by the sound of laughter.
"That's funny." Said Shego.
"Sounds like Shego." Ron pointed out.
"And Brick." Kim added.
"Uh-oh, I hope Bonnie doesn't know." Said Ron.
"Ron, please. Brick's out friend too, I think Bonnie can handle seeing him talking to another girl." Kim replied.
"I got a million of 'em," said Brick who was standing near Shego's locker.
"Awesome," she answered.
"Nice meeting you, Sheena." Brick continued.
"Same here," said Shego.
"Oh, here." Brick said as he reached into his jacket pocket and handed Shego some strips of paper.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Front row seats, got a game coming up. Just mention my name and you're good to go." Brick explained.
"Ok, thanks." Said Shego.
"See ya," Brick replied before walking away towards homeroom.
"What was that about?" Kim asked as she walked up to Shego.
"Oh, nothing, just ran into him in the hallway." Shego explained.
"Brick Flagg?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, that's him, told me about the time Stoppable was texting during practice." Shego answered.
"I remember that. Said Kim.
"Hey, I never saw that football coming, all right? Besides that call was long distance." Ron explained.
"Whatever you say," Kim sighed.
She remembered that afternoon last semester, during football practice Ron was sitting on the sidelines. As always he was in charge of gathering up sports equipment and handing out water. While a break, he was replying to a text from Martin Smarty about a part time job offer and didn't see the football until it was too late.
"Check this out," said Shego, holding out what looked like three tickets.
"Are those…?" Ron started to say.
"Front row seats?" Kim finished.
"Yep, Brick said to mention his name and that's it." Shego explained, handing Kim and Ron their tickets.
"Whoa!" Ron exclaimed.
"That's great. Thanks." Said Kim, placing the ticket in a side compartment on her backpack.
"No big deal, see? I can be nice." Shego replied.
"Sure can," said Ron.
"You're just saying that because I gave you front row tickets aren't you?" Shego asked.
"Uh-huh." Ron replied in a dull tone as he stared at the ticket.
"That's what I thought." Said Shego.
Later that morning…
"So, we get our test results today." Kim announced.
"Swell," Shego groaned.
"I'm dog chow, girls." Said Ron, who was sitting between Kim and Shego.
"Ron, would you cool it? I'm sure you did fine." Shego replied.
"I kinda agree with Shego," said Kim.
"We'll know soon enough," Ron concluded, hearing the classroom door open.
"Here comes Ms. Whisp." Kim pointed out.
"And here are the results of yesterday's test." Ms. Whisp announced.
She went around the classroom handing each student their test papers.
"Kim, Alan…" Ms. Whisp said aloud, reading off the student's names.
Kim glanced at her paper and was surprised at what she saw.
"A minus again? Oh well." She sighed.
Shego looked at her results as well, her eyes bucked.
"B plus? I'm getting better."
Shego smiled briefly.
"I wonder what Bonnie got." Kim said to Shego.
Just then Bonnie's voice rang out.
"D minus?! You can't be serious!"
"Yikes," said Kim.
"Tell me about it, Hego came home with an F once and he wasn't allowed near a phone for two days, except when necessary but that's another story." Shego explained.
"B minus? Whoa!" said Brick as he looked at his grade.
"I'm doomed!" Marcella exclaimed, looking at the F plus on her paper
Once they were out of class Kim and Shego waited for Ron.
"So, what's up?" Shego asked.
"How'd you do?" Kim said, eagerly waiting to hear what Ron's grade was.
"Not so good," Ron sighed.
"I'm sorry, Ron." Kim replied sympathetically.
"Yeah, me too." Said Shego.
"Psych! I got a C! a C plus." Ron exclaimed.
Both Shego and Kim grinned.
"It's a start." Ron added.
"Uh, sure." Said Kim.
"I agree, good job, Ron." Shego added.
"Thanks," said Ron.
As they headed back to their lockers, Kim and Shego weren't far behind.
The two of them looked rather puzzled.
"How'd he get a C plus?" Shego asked.
"I have no idea." Said Kim.
It was going to be a long day.
MORE TO COME…
And that's it for this chapter.
So sorry for the long wait. Anyway, just to clear up a few things, Penny is a character who was in the episode "The Truth Hurts", Courtney is another Middleton High student, she was never in an actual episode but was mentioned in the episode "Crush". Other quotes and references in this chapter are from Hey Arnold, Lilo & Stitch, Home Improvement, Rover Dangerfield, Toy Story, The Proud Family, What's Happening?!, Open Season, Fresh Prince of Bel air, Pound Puppies(2010), Krypto the Superdog, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Little Bear, Fatherhood and Duck Dodgers. As for Shego's real name, I've seen people use different ones for their stories, such as Sheila, Sherry, the list goes on. Decided to go a different route. Also Noodle Gourmet is a real Chinese restaurant. It's a small Mom-and Pop type place in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It's a nice town to visit.
Spoiler for the chapter: More info about Shego's background, the introduction of her cousins and other characters will be in the next chapter.
Anyhow, chapter 4 is in the works, so it'll probably be up in a week or two. So stay tuned!
Reviews are appreciated.
