Chapter 4Analysis

Kim could hear herself yell, "Shego!" She watched as the green and black clad woman walked sultrily toward her.

"That's right. That's my name; don't wear it out," Shego replied. When she reached Kim's side, she placed a hand on Kim's shoulder. Kim began trembling at the slight contact. Shego spoke again, "What's the matter, Kimmie?" No response. "Kimmie? Kimmie! Kim? Kim!" the voice trailed off as if no one said it.

Kim felt somthing tap her shoulder, "Kim... Kim! Hey, girl friend, the bell rang... like forever ago. C'mon girl; you're going to be late to your practice, again," Monique said while walking out of the room. Kim scrambled to catch up with her.

"Thanks, Mon," Kim said after catching up to her best girl friend.

Monique replied, "Hey, we girls have gotta have each others' backs, right?"

"Totally!"

"So tell me," Monique demanded. Kim looked at her quizzically. Monique reminded her by reciting, "M.A.S.?"

Kim recovered nicely, "Oh, that." She told Monique about her dreams including the one she had in class just now. She left out the part about Shego making contact with her shoulder... for now.

"So each time, your dream takes you farther?" Monique asked, "Do you know what it means?"

"Yes... and no," Kim replied, "These dreams are getting weirder each time. The one that I had in class today was the weirdest one, yet."

"How so, Kim?"

"Shego was in it."

"That blue dude's henchwoman?" Monique asked skeptically.

"Yeah, that's her," Kim answered.

Monique and Kim stopped at Kim's locker where Kim picked up her cheerleading uniform and other gear. Wade was on the screen of the computer he had set up in her locker.

Kim saw him and said, "Hey, Wade; what's the sitch?"

"Ron talked to me earlier. He's really worried about you, Kim. He asked me to talk to you," Wade replied.

"What about?" Kim asked, feigning cluelessness. Monique gave her a look that said: 'don't go there, girl!'

"OK," Kim relented; she told Wade everything she'd just told Monique.

"That's weird but interesting," Wade said, "When did these dreams begin?"

"When we faced Aviarius in Go City. That's when they started," Kim answered, "That was one of my easiest missions, and despite working with and against her, it was easy to get that power staff away from Shego."

"Hmm, interesting. Have you told your mom? She might be able to help."

That's right, Kim. She IS a brain surgeon after all," Monique said.

"I don't know, guys. Mom might see it as something bad," Kim said.

"You should ask her; you never know what she'll say, if you don't ask," Wade said.

Gymnasium...

"Hey, loser! Where's Kim?" a brown-haired cheerleader demanded.

Ron snapped his head up. He had been letting his thoughts wander; all of his thoughts centered around Kim. 'I hope Wade can figure it out.' he thought.

The rest of the cheerleading team were behind the brown haired girl and were tapping their toes, impatiently.

Ron answered, "She'll be here, Bon-Bon; something has probably come up."

Back at Kim' locker...

"For the last time guys, DROP IT!" Kim spat; she had begun to get exasperated because of her friends' constant questions when Wade caught her and Monique off guard.

"For all we know, Kim, your dreams could be telling you something..." he noticed her blank stare then continued, "...like maybe that you and Shego have more in common than you think. Maybe you should talk to Shego about it."

"Absolutely not! I am not talking to my arch foe!" Kim blatantly refused.

"Who said anything about Drakken?" Wade asked.

Kim blanched but recovered, "I don't consider Drakken my arch foe, for without Shego, he would be nothing."

"Hope your right, Kim," Wade replied.

"Yeah," Monique agreed.

Kim looked at her watch, "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed, "I gotta go, guys. The team is gonna kill me. She dashed in the direction of the gym, as she called out, "Bye!"
