Epilog
A year passed.
On the anniversary of destroying the asteroid, Kim and Ron, now engaged to be married, watched the meteor shower while lying on a blanket in Kim's back yard. Kim had her head propped up on Ron's arm, while Rufus rummaged through the snackage.
For several hours they watched, saying little, as meteor after meteor flashed into visibility and was quickly gone.
Kim suddenly sniffed, and Ron looked at her. "Nickel for your thoughts?" he said.
KIm glanced at him. "Nickel? I thought it was a penny."
Ron grinned. "Inflation."
Kim smiled. "I was just... thinking."
"About Shego?" he asked.
She nodded. "It just isn't fair. She sacrificed her life to save the world, and what does she get for it? Instead of a parade, and a medal, and a state funeral, it's a pardon in a file that will probably never see the light of day."
"Yeah, you're right. It makes me feel bad too. I don't think she would have appreciated the parade and funeral, though. It would damage her evil reputation," said Ron.
Kim grinned. "You're probably right," she agreed, "But I still think she deserves some kind of tribute."
They fell silent, watching Nature's fireworks blaze across the skies.
Then, out of nowhere, Ron said, "You know, this kinda reminds me of life. You appear, zoom through existance making your mark, then you're gone."
Kim looked up at him in surprise. "Ron, that's actually very profound. Do you have a fever?" She put her hand on his forehead.
"Naw," he answered, smiling, "But I was wondering which one of those meteors is Shego."
Unexpectedly, they got an answer. A bright, emerald green meteor appeared, putting the others to shame. It travelled across the sky, cutting through the paths of others, and disappeared in a blaze of green glory, and a bang.
Tears appeared in the eyes of the young couple, and their hand sought for the other's. They grasped them together, tightly. Then through their tears, they smiled.
As a tribute, it would do.
The End
