Sorry about the lack of updates. I just wasn't in the right frame of mind. Two chapters to make up for it.
STORY
Shego sat up and defended her eyes from the sunlight. She was up at the crack of dawn again, which gave her all morning to do some exercises before she wandered over to Bueno Nacho. She didn't really feel like having breakfast there, but it was part of her training her gut so she's be able to stomach the stuff. As she started with her pushups, her memory drifted over the past couple of weeks.
She'd got the call from Drakken, gone to his old dusty lab, been juvenated, gone back in time, successfully infiltrated the group of friends, pulled off a pseudo-date with her target, and even gotten a kiss out of him (even though he didn't mean to). She laughed at herself a little evilly, a little giddy, remembering that fun afternoon.
"Sheila, I told you, I'm only here to help you with... uh... models! Yeah! I'm not here avoiding Kim and Eric, I swear!" Ron began wheezing and rubbing his nose, trying to focus on anything but Shego. "All right, fine, whatever you say kiddo. But break any of them and its Ron season, clear?" She was talking with more seduction in her voice than menace, but there was still enough of the latter to get her message across. Rufus, who had been trying to open a model car's door, managed to snap off the rear view mirror just as Shego finished her sentence, causing the rodent to squeak in fear and retreat into his owner's pocket.
For a few minutes, they worked fine, Ron handing Shego various supplies as she asked for them, Ron otherwise not touching anything. Shego got the casing placed on the model to check that everything was coming together all right, and Ron couldn't resist anymore. "Hey cool, an airplane!" He snatched it up and moved to "fly" it around the room when the frame came out of the shell and smashed against a wall. Ron slowly set down the outer casing of the plane and smiled nervously, before leaping out of the way as Shego dove at him, scattering model parts everywhere. "I'm gonna get you, Stoppable!" Shego was chasing him at half speed, wanting to give him a fair chance in the apartment, and to find a soft spot to push him onto. No point in getting him hurt and having his friend realize her feelings for him now.
They kept up the chase for about ten minutes, before Shego finally saw her chance; Ron was getting ready to run across the couch. She dove into him just as he turned to see how far behind him she was, which threw off Shego's guess of when to tackle the boy. He caught his foot slightly on the arm of the couch, throwing his face up against hers, as they landed on the couch, eyes closed. When they opened their eyes, they saw their lips were firmly planted against each other's. They quickly pulled away, faces showing cherry red. Shego quickly recomposed herself, and moved to work this to her advantage, "Well, that had to be the clumsiest kiss in the history of Middleton, wouldn't you say?" Ron shrugged, coming back, "Well no, not really... One time Kim kissed this boy and got their braces locked. I'd have to say that was the clumsiest kiss," as his little buddy popped out of his pocket with a "Yeah!" Shego let it drop for the moment, and they went back to the models, pulling a new one out.
Finished with the last set of exercises for the morning, Shego climbed into the shower for a quick wash. She got dressed in a black tank top with a knee-length dark green skirt, making sure to check her makeup as she walked out the door. Heading to Bueno Nacho now, she prepared for her next session of iron-stomach training. When she got there, she noticed a very familiar face sitting at the booth, fidgeting with his nachos. Shego bit her lip; this was a weekend and he was up before noon, something had to be up. Slowly moving to the booth before sitting down, Shego noticed Ron still didn't see her, and decided to talk. "Hey kid, you all right?" Ron jumped at the voice, but quickly settled down. "Oh, hey Sheila. Nothing much wrong, really..." He went back to fidgeting with his food, and ignoring the girl across from him. Reaching across the table and pulling his face up, she restated her question, "You have something upsetting you; do you want to tell me on your own, or should I have Rufus do it for you?" Ron gulped and started talking in small fragments, "Okay... maybe, uh... Well, Eric... Kim said yes... and now... friends... yeah." Shego's eyebrow twitched before she rubbed her temple. "Okay kiddo, lets try this again... Maybe with complete sentences?" Ron stared at his food, "Eric asked Kim to the prom. She said yes, which means I don't have anyone to go with. Kim and I always went as friends."
They were silent for a few minutes before Shego spoke up, "Come on, cheer up; I know of at least one girl who'd want to go with you to prom." Ron shook his head, "No, the girl with the creepy lizard obsession from Latin is going with her iguana." Shego smacked her forehead. "Ugh, no; Me, I want to go with you. Now be a good gentleman and ask me." Ron looked up without moving his head for a second and started sweating. He took a big gulp before moving his head up and taking her hand. "Okay... um... Sheila, would you like to go with me to the... um... the thing... with the people..." Frustrated with how long this was taking, she gave her answer, saving them further embarrassment. "Yes, Ron, I'll go to prom with you. Now stop sweating, you're giving Rufus a little shower." Ron looked down and saw his furless friend scrubbing with a tiny sponge, lathering his arms, before looking up at his master, "Squeaky!"
Ron laughed nervously and got up, leaving half a naco on the table. "Okay then Sheila, I guess I'll see you around sometime then... I'll call you or something." He started to bolt to the door when Shego grabbed his hand. "Whoa whoa, small problem kiddo; you don't have my number to call me with. Even if you did, I doubt you'd get up the gall to actually call before it was time to pick me up for the prom, so here's the deal; you give me your number, and I'll call you so we can talk about where we'll go for the pre-prom date, deal?" "What? Now there's a date before the prom too?" Shego smiled a little, before finishing for him, "Deal then. Talk to you later kiddo." Shego stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking out of the Bueno Nacho.
