Shego had been following the two around all day. So far, there hadn't really been any chances to squeeze between them and blow some steam in the boy's ear, but Shego knew that'd change when syntho-boy came around. After school, they were hanging out at Bueno Nacho. Kim had just finished complaining about her prom date when Ron came back. "Kim, life as we know it has changed forever... Naco night is no more," Ron said sadly, when her kimmunicator went off. "What's the sitch Wade?" The boy responded back clearly, "Drakken's been spotted in the Bermuda Triangle." Shego had to smirk at this; she remembered quite clearly the fun she had torturing Drakken at the resort. Kim and Ron started to leave when Shego grabbed Ron's arm and asked, "Hey kiddo, can I come along?" Kim heard this and turned around. She was tempted to say no, but the moves she pulled in Tokyo were telling her this girl could be of some serious help. Kim nodded and Ron shrugged, telling her that she was along for the ride.
They didn't have a spare disguise for Shego, so they had to make a quick stop by Club Banana before they could go on the mission. After coming up on shore, Kim and Shego pulled their wet suits off and pulled their dresses over their head. Shego had chosen a two piece solid green number, the top only having one strap that went over her right shoulder. The skirt was short, allowing for movement and showing off her legs, but no so short that it'd attract too much attention. Kim slipped on her wig, and they made their way to the building.
Once inside the ventilation system, Kim was in front, followed by Ron, with Shego in the back. "You sure you didn't wanna get ahead of me Sheila?" Shego shuddered, "No thanks kiddo, I'm pretty sure my skirt isn't covering me right in this position, so you can keep in front of me." Ron shut up pretty quickly. Kim stopped suddenly, announcing her find, "The ladies room!" pulling out some lipstick, she turned it to reveal a laser. "Laser lipstick, nice! Hey, how come wade never makes me cool gadgets?" Kim pulled the now cut vent off and started to set up a lowering wire, answering, "That time you almost melted your fingers?" Ron took a defensive tone to this, "Hey, it looked like regular nail polish!" Shego smirked in the back, hardly able to keep the silence needed. "You tried putting on nail polish?" Ron blushed and looked around nervously, "Hey, it was a nice pretty emerald green, I figured the colors might match..." Shego snorted again as Ron started to head down the vent, stopped by a hand. "Ladies room, Ron." He continued on, and Shego inched up to the vent, looking down. She whispered at the girl about ready to exit, "Hey, I'm gonna follow kiddo there, make sure he doesn't get into trouble, okay?" Kim simply nodded and walked out the door.
Shego didn't know WHY she didn't want to be around Kim at that time, she just felt something nagging her in the back of her head. When she got another twenty or thirty feet, she saw a large hole in the bottom of the vent. "Great, the goof broke the vent; probably while playing with that laser lipstick," she said to herself as she jumped down. She looked over to where the boy was headed, and quickly followed him. Once he got inside the doors, she saw what was going on, and quickly took a position behind him.
"Are you, 'The Kid'?" Ron struggled in his mind for a few moments, deciding if he wanted to play these poker players for fools. "Why yes, yes I am." Shego heard this, and decided if he was gonna bluff, might as well have a spare card on his side. As he sat down, She slinked behind him and hung her hang on his shoulder, making a big show of it. He obviously hadn't noticed her following him, as he looked behind him, a little surprised. "Hey Sheila, didn't see you there." She flashed him a sultry smile and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Look kiddo, I'm just the girl behind the player. Try not to talk to me much, but if you win make some comment about me being good luck or something, okay?" Ron smiled and nodded, not exactly understanding what she said.
"Here ya go kid, thirty-two million cow chips." The large cowboy figure slid a large stack of poker chips over to Ron, who looked surprised. "These are for me?" After he saw the strange glances he was getting, he picked up a short stack of them and let them fall again, "Oh, yes, my money... Miss me boys?" Once that was said, the dealer dealt a quick hand of cards. The players started tossing chips on the table, and Ron looked confused. Shego couldn't believe how thick-headed he was being, but noticed as he quickly caught on... so she thought. He tossed some chips in, which was followed by others tossing more chips in, which prompted the young blonde to start throwing more and bigger stacks in. Eventually he had thrown in his entire pile, shocking and appalling the group. One of the players folded after seeing "the kid's" goofy grin, but it didn't seem to faze the cowboy figure.
"Y'all good for this?" Ron shrugged, "Am I?" Shego could see his hand, and could tell the cowboy figure was about to intimidate Ron to see if he was bluffing. She quickly bent down to look at his cards, flashing the large cowboy figure a smile that made him stop in his tracks. Soon, the doors burst open, and Kim was hurdled into the room, with the Shego from this time right behind her. Future Shego saw what was going on and decided to make a quick retreat before she was spotted, and grabbed Ron to run out of the room. "Guess that's why I was against sticking around Possible. Completely forgot about that fight," Shego thought to herself. As they were leaving, a short man opened the doors, saying "The kid is in the house!", which elicited several angry looks at Ron from the other poker players. Shego just kept him running though, away from the group. After several minutes of carefully avoiding the fight between her past self and Possible, she saw Drakken running towards the entrance. "SHEGO! Time to go!" As he said that, the ceiling burst open, with a helicopter above dangling a platform down on a rope.
As the past Shego kicked free of the teen heroine, future Shego saw her past self give her a dirty look. Glancing back while mouthing "Patience, you'll see" Ron looked back just in time for the girl to finish her mouthing, giving her a confused look. She shrugged, "What? I don't know, maybe she's jealous or something," was all she could come up with. It seemed to soothe the boy's curiosity enough though, so he turned back around. Drakken, meanwhile, had finished his degrading of the teen heroine.
The next day at school was bad for Shego too, but there seemed to be more hope. Something was getting at Kim, quite visibly. Shego caught the two friends once in the hallway, Kim turning down Ron for an afternoon of petition signing at Bueno Nacho. Kim turned him down, but not before signing his paper. Shego decided to go ahead and go to Bueno Nacho just a little before the blonde, confident that her agility would allow her to be out of the school a good five minutes before he was.
Once at the Bueno Nacho, Shego sat in what was normally the booth for the teen heroes. She watched out the window and waited, making sure to not notice the boy walk in. He went to sit down, but noticed Shego sitting there, and started to walk away after a quick apology. "Wait... Sheila?" Shego glanced up at him and gave a very purposeful half-hearted smile. "Hey there kiddo, what's up?" "I was gonna ask you the same thing... You look kinda down there." Shego smiled inwardly; he really knew how to take the bait. "Oh its nothing, just thinking about that dance is all. I don't think I'm gonna have a date for it, what with being so new and all." She returned her gaze out the window, when a reply came quicker than she expected. "Hey, no problemo, you can come with me and KP. We always go together as friends!" Shego sighed. "Could you really be this dense, I mean come on," she though. She smiled up at him weakly again, giving him another line, hoping he'd catch the bait this time, "It's just not the same, especially for something as big as prom. I just wanna go with a date-date. I don't care who he is, just that he's there for me and me only."
Ron seemed confused by this, but shrugged it off. He sat across from her before a little naked mole rat popped out of his pocket to remind him of the reason he was here. "Be right back Sheila, gotta grab some grub!" Shego huffed at him. "Christ boy, you're about as dense as lead, and a lot more hard headed." She pondered what else she could say to try and pin him against the mental wall he seemed to keep passing through, and came up with an idea just as he got back. "So kiddo, you got anyone special in your life?" Ron took a bite out of his naco before answering between bites, "What do you mean? I mean, Kim and I have been best friends since forever, if that's what you want." Shego shook her head, "No, I mean... like a girlfriend, or a crush." Ron stopped mid bite and turned a really bright red. "Well um... I mean uh... There is kinda one girl, but..." As he drifted off into dreamland, Shego piped up, "But what?" Snapping back, he looked down. "But I don't think she'd ever see me that way. Besides, I don't know if I wanna risk what we already have over something stupid like that."
Shego gave him a light glare, trying to decide how best to word her next sentence. "So kiddo, why don't you try asking out some other girl? If what you have with this crush is as special as you say it is, then she'd appreciate you having someone in your life, right?" Ron shrugged at this. "I don't know... I guess I always kinda felt like it was cheating on her or something." Shego's eyebrow went up. "Cheating on a girl you're not going out with? Isn't that a bit obsessive?" Shrugging again, Ron went back to eating. "I don't know, I guess I just feel like she's worth it or something." Shego was beating herself up mentally; for a buffoon, this kid had all the right answers here. "Why can't I get one trick to work?" As she thought that, a brilliant idea hit her.
"You know Ron," she said while giving him a sultry look, "I thought you were kinda cute when I first saw you..." Ron caught the look and the meaning behind the words and started choking on his naco. "Hey, yeah, look at the time, I think I gotta go to the place about the thing, and meet the person... yeah..." Saying that, he jumped up and sprinted out the door. Shego grinned to herself as she started to get up. "Well, that's better. Guess he's not half as dense as I took him for."
There ya go, the missing chapter. I think this one is actually my longest chapter yet.
