~Chapter 2~

"S-Shego?" He asked, his tears drying up. The raven-haired assistant turned away, and only her dark, long hair could be seen.. But it was evident that she had been crying.

Forgetting about himself, Ron slowly stood up and walked towards his supposed enemy. "Shego, what's wrong?" He asked sympathetically, bending down, about to put his hands on her shoulders in a comforting guesture.

"Leave me ALONE!" Shego screamed, swiping at him, her claws ignited with the usual neon green glow. Ron quickly backed away. "Okay, FINE, sheesh!" He said grumpily, widening the distance between them. He sat on the sidewalk again, but this time he was only about seven feet away from Drakken's assistant.

Shego turned away from Ron, but the blonde could see her trembling as she buried her face in her hands and sobbed quietly. All of a sudden, she swayed from right to left, and began falling slowly onto the asphalt.

But Ron was by her side as he was able to grab her shoulders successfully this time and make her upright. "AWAY!" Shego shrieked, swiping at him again. Then, it was the same thing all over again: She began sobbing into her gloved hands. Ron moved closer to her, wondering to himself what he was doing.

"Look, Shego, just tell me what's wrong. Quit pushing me away, because I.." He paused with a sigh. "Have had enough pushing away for one day.." Shego looked up at the 'dopey sidekick', as she called him, as if questioning what happened to him and why he wasn't with Kim.

"I won't call the cops or anything... I promise. Just tell me what happened," He added gently. But all Shego did was glare at him... Ron stared right back, and soon a staring contest had begun.. After about a minute, Shego finally cracked.

"D-Drakken..." She said softly, her lip trembling. "Drakken? What'd he do?" Ron asked. Shego only looked at him mournfully. "He.. He FIRED you?" Shego burst into more tears, and to Ron's surprise, this time, buried her head into his shirt. But Ron didn't scoot away; he remained, speechless, sitting on the sidewalk, before carefully patting Shego on the back.

"Okay, so he fired you, and well... So what? You can make it on your own, especially without that guy."

"You don't understand," Shego hissed, regaining her composure. "Even though I was pulled back when I was with Drakken, at least I had something to do; something I could manage with my... My abnormality..." She stared down at her claws. "Now, I don't know what to do.... I may have the physical abilities to take over the world, but still, I need the brains...." She paused and sniffled, before continuing.

"Even though Drakken acts really moronic most of the time.. I gotta admit.. He's smart; just lacks some common sense, but.... He really is a genius.."

Ron was surprised hearing Shego speak so positively about Drakken, although all she ever did when he and Kim were present was tease her 'boss'.

"So... Why'd he fire you?" The sidekick asked, more curious than ever.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Thanks a lot, Shego," exclaimed the extremely sarcastic mad scientist as he paced the jail cell he, and his assistant were confined in. "What did I do?!" Shego demanded gruffly. "If you had held Kim Possible long enough, I would be the supreme ruler of Earth by now! I thought you said you could handle her when I gave you those new rays!" He screamed in anger. "I don't know! She just suddenly tackled at me, and we -coincidentally- crashed through the wall and into YOU!" Shego argued. "You shoule've gone for the dopey sidekick when you had the chance," She said acidly.

"At least -I- would have beaten him, unlike -you-, who can't even defeat Kim Possible!"

Shego snickered. "You would have NOT! You can't even throw a punch if your life depended on it!"

"Oh, I could!" Drakken said with a sinister smile. "In fact, without you I can do anything! You always hold me back, Shego, which causes my constant failures in taking over the world!"

"What are you getting at?!" Shego asked dangerously, her eyebrows raised. "What I'm getting at is...." Drakken frowned at her. "You're out, Shego."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Harsh," was all Ron could say, as Shego wiped her eyes dry of tears. "I melted the bars to escape, and molded them back together just so I could get away from Drakken.. And now, here I am...." Stifling another sob, Shego covered her face with her hands and let out a little whimper.

"Heyyy, it's okay! Even if you.. Erm.. DON'T have the brains for it, you can always kidnap a genius to help you," Ron suggested, feeling nervous and insecure as he spoke to the villain who was wanted in eleven countries. Shego merely shook her head. "I need a partner... an ally.. All villains do... Haven't you noticed?!"

"Hmm?" Ron asked. "Does DNAmy have a partner?"

"Her cuddle buddy mutations or whatever."

"Does Professor Dementor have a partner?"

"His instant muscle men."

"Adrena Lynn?"

"That... Cameraman guy..."

"Monkey Fist?"

"His small assistant, and... those monkey ninjas."

"Frugal Lucre?"

"Didn't you see how horrible his plan was?"

That shut up Ron for a while. The boy realized that Shego was right, and he couldn't think of any retort. Meanwhile, Shego sniffled again. Then, she suddenly looked up and stared at the blonde beside her, as if realizing only now that he was there. "You! You could... Wait... What ARE you doing here anyway? Don't you have a best friend to go back to?" Ron looked down, a pained expression on his face. Even without words, Shego could tell what the hero had done to her sidekick.

"She DID? I never expected her to leave you.... umm.... so soon," Shego commented, averting her eyes for a moment. "I know..." Ron said quietly. Shego decided to break the eerie silence with an unexpected question.

"Hey kid.." She called, causing Ron to look back at her, though hesitantly.

"Ever think of becoming a villain?"

~

"No.. WAY!" Ron exclaimed, backing up from the seemingly crazed woman. "I can't... No, never... I'm too... young!" He stammered. Shego shrugged. "I became a villain when I was about.... what? Fifteen!" Ron thought up of another excuse. "But I'm a crime fighter! And.... An average kid! I have a good home, a good school.."

"A school with bullies who abuse you practically everyday? Who squeeze you into lockers, who stuff you into garbage cans, who steal ninety-percent of your weekly allowance?" Shego pointed out. Ron was staring at her, mouth wide open, not believing that she actually knew so much about him.

"But... But... I'm not EVIL enough!" Ron said. Shego made a small 'Tch!' sound before replying. "Trust me, you've got the bad-ness for it... You've been through enough to drive you into villainy... Just look at your life! You've been traumatized ever since you were like, kinder-garden. And then now your best friend just dumped you. What more do you want to happen?" Shego ranted.

"Why DO you want me to become a villain ANYWAY?" Ron asked suspiciously, narrowing his eyes. "So I become a villain.. So what? Where'll that lead you?"

"Not just any villain... MY partner in crime!" Shego said, now with a smirk on her pale green face. Ron's eyes widened. "Me? With... With you?! Why? How?"

Shego rolled her eyes. "Trust me, kid, I've seen you move... It may be dopey most of the time, but once you put your confidence into it, you fight pretty good. You'd make a good partner-in-crime."

"Really?"

"Ugh.. Yeah."

"But... What'll my parents say? And.. Kim? And Drakken? And everybody else?"

"They'll just have to regret pushing us away... Come on," Shego stood up. "Are you IN, or not?" She asked, her hands on her hips as she stared down at the still very much surprised teen. "I... I..." He stammered.

"Fine. I'm in.."

"So we're allies.. Now.." Shego shuffled nervously. Ron stood up. "I.. I guess.". The two quickly shook hands, Shego smirking, and Ron smiling, though reluctantly. "From now on, we'll be equals. No one dominates over the other," She announced. "The world is looking at the greatest villain duo yet!". She added, grabbing Ron's wrist, leading him away.

"Yeah.. Yeah, it sure is," Ron commented, trying to pull himself together. But then, he tripped on an empty soda can, and was sent sprawling on the ground. "Uhh... We need a lot of work though.. Especially you," Shego said, sighing. "Oh yeah..." Ron said, face still glued to the asphalt.

~

"Where IS he?!" Kim exclaimed, irritated. The cheerleader stood outside the plane she used earlier. She had just finished making plans for the orphanage with its owners, and was about to go home. After standing there for five minutes, she thought. "Maybe he took my advice literally and went home," Shrugging, she entered the plane, a bit worried for her best friend. She admitted that she was too harsh on him. 'But hey, he DID destroy that orphanage.' Her conscience argued. "Mmm.. He did.." She whispered to herself out loud, as the plane left the ground.

~

"Never did I think I would play a teacher -again-," Shego commented. She stood in front of her newly-found partner and ally, who was sitting on a school desk. Sighing, she approached him.

"So kid, the first thing you need to become a successful villain is..?"

"Oh, I know this one: An Evil... Laugh!" Ron said, extremely proud of himself. Shego slapped her forehead. "Oh, for the love of god!!!!!! Not again.." She exclaimed.

~

"Now, you need to know how to -really- fight," Shego spoke, as she stood in front of the blonde. Both were standing on a mat in an old abandoned gym. "Huh? But you said I was a pretty good fighter!" Ron insisted. "I ALSO said that you're dopey most of the time!" Shego snapped. "Now let's see what you've got," She told him, going into a fighting stance. Ron imitated her, though his stance was different.

"YAH!" Shego lunged at him, and started off with a couple of swipes. Ron surprisingly managed to dodge all of them, while making the strange monkey kung fu sounds he usually did. He continued to dodge until Shego managed to grab him and flip himover.

"Oww!" Ron whimpered, as he hit the mat, on his back. Slowly, he got up into a sitting position. "Hmm... Just as I expected: Not bad for a dopey sidekick..." Ron smiled sheepishly. "But of course, you COULD do WITHOUT the sound effects." She gave him a weird look. "Now let's try again. I'm going to teach you MY fighting style!"

~

It was the next day, as Kim walked to school. She was going to go to Ron and apologize to him when she saw him. "Right.. Straight to Ron. Don't get distracted... Don't get- wha-?!" Kim's jaw dropped at what she saw.

It was Josh...

Josh and Bonnie..

Bonnie hugging Josh's arm...

Josh smiling serenely..

The two were headed right at Kim, and soon she was face to face with what was currently her worst nightmare.

"Hi, Kim," Josh greeted. "Hey, K," Drawled Bonnie, smirking. "Josh, B," Kim said through gritted teeth. "Too bad you didn't come yesterday. It was really fun. It turns out that Bonnie is a great present-picker... My mom totally loved the perfume!" Bonnie snickered quietly, as Kim glared. "Yeah.. Well.. See you, Josh." She said, defeated, as she walked to her locker.

'Stupid Bonnie.. Stupid idiotic Bonnie.. This is all Ron's fault.. Maybe I'll wait a while before apologizing to him... He's giving me all this trouble thanks to his mess up..' She thought angrily as she grabbed her books from her locker, and slammed the steel door shut. Then, she stomped over to class, fuming.

Shockingly, Kim found that Ron wasn't present. Again, she became slightly worried. Breaking her vow, she decided to go to Ron's house after cheerleading practice.

"Hey Mrs. Stoppable, can I see Ron for a moment?" Kim asked nicely as she stood in front of the Stoppable residence, talking to Ron's mom who had greeted her at the door. "Ron? My dear, I thought he was with you." She said. "What?" Kim questioned, confused. "We haven't seen him since yesterday morning when he left with you on a mission. Since then, he hasn't come back. I thought he slept over at your house and I was, in fact, about to call him."

Kim's worry for Ron increased, as she pulled out her Kimmunicator. "Wade, can you scan for Ron's location, now? He's gone missing," She told her computer friend. Wade nodded, and began typing furiously on his keyboard. "I'll have his whereabouts in just a sec.."

"Please and thank you," Kim said, managing a smile.

~

"Ow!" Ron said in pain as he was slammed down on the mat again by Drakken's former assistant. "That's eight times in a row! Kid, remember the moves taught you!" Shego said, annoyed. Ron remained on the mat, groaning. Shego looked at him, shaking her head. 'Maybe I better re-think this,' She thought. Then, she noticed something.

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't move!" She ordered as she walked briskly over to him, and bent down. "Whassamatter?" Ron asked, slightly panicky. His voice was muffled due to his face being pressed onto the mat. Shego examined the back of his neck. "There's something here, stuck to it..." She said, indicating a small, metal object, which was beeping.

"What is it?" Ron questioned. "I think.. It's a microchip! Crap, your friend's gonna find you with this!"

"So THAT'S how Wade's been finding me!" Ron realized. Shego ignited her gloves and brought them close to the microchip. Soon, there was a crackling sound as the contraption's circuits were burned, and it fell to the floor. Shego stomped on it, as Ron got up, dusting himself. "That was weird," He commented.

~

"Wade, what's taking so long?!" Kim demanded, growing impatient. "I can't seem to find him, Kim! The microchip somehow... Broke!" Wade exclaimed incredulously. Mrs. Stoppable gasped with fear and surprise. "Call the police. Something's wrong here," Kim said urgently. Nodding tearfully, Mrs. Stoppable ran into the house.

"Where -are- you, Ron?" She asked herself out loud, worriedly.

A week had passed, and there still had been no sign of Ron... The police had been alerted, the school had been alerted... Everyone in Middleton knew of his disappearance. The Possible family was not the first. When Kim arrived home she cried in her mother's arms, screaming that it was her fault, because of her fight with Ron. "We'll find him, honey, don't worry. He can take care of himself," Her mother comforted.

~

Meanwhile, Shego had taught Ron everything... All her skills, all her brains, all her evil had been copied and placed into him. He had gone from good to bad, and was beginning to love being a villain. He had gotten really good in battle too, and now could defeat Shego easily, which greatly impressed her. Heck, even Rufus became a mean green, evil fighting machine. The two had changed thanks to Shego. "Oof!" Shego grunted as she was slammed to the ground by Ron, who stood, smirking. "Good job," She commented, smirking. Ron smirked right back. "No sweat."

"I think you're ready..."
