Sheela lay on her bed, bored.

It had been nearly a year since she'd seen any of her old school friends. It wasn't just that she was no longer in school. It wasn't just that she'd moved. She was an entirely different person now. She was Shego, superheroine. All the good it does her.

She could hardly be Sheela Go anymore either. She really needed some 'Sheela time'. Time that she was coming to appreciate more and more, now that she could hide the green for a while.

She'd like to do the same for her room. The walls, the bedspread, the curtains, were all green. The boys thought it would be cool to have each room decorated in each person's signature color. The color of their skin. Sheela had liked green. She liked it in her eyes. Having it on her skin had taken a big adjustment. Now the room decor was getting old.

Someone knocked on her door.

"What?" she called, annoyed.

"We've got that ribbon cutting, Sis."

Hego and his publicity stunts. "Not for me, thanks."

"They expect the whole team," said Hego through the door.

Shego sat up, "Not today!" She then plopped back down on her pillow.

"She said 'no'," Hego told his brothers.

"Does she realize how that's gonna look?" griped Mego.

"Like the team's divided," agreed Hego.

"She never thinks of us."

"Shego's not coming?" asked one of the twins.

"She okay?" asked the other.

Hego knelt and smiled at his littlest brothers, "She's fine. She just doesn't feel like coming."

The twins looked sad and thoughtful.

"How about we buy her something while we're at the mall?" Hego asked them.

"Yeah!" Wego said together as they hugged their oldest brother.

"So she skips out on us and gets a present?" Mego huffed. "There is no justice."

After lying on her bed a while, Sheela decided to actually do something fun. There was supposed to be a new mall opening today. Oh yeah, that was what the ribbon cutting was for ... the new mall.

Well, she could still go. She'll just go as Sheela the shopper instead of Shego. Even her brothers may not notice her in the crowd.

That reminded her that she had wanted to get an alias. At least for shopping. At least that part would be easy.

Sheela called her credit card service and had 'her friend, Sheela O'Hare', added onto her card account and asked for new cards to be sent out. In a few weeks, she would have a new card in a new name.

She then dressed for some shopping.

Shego leaned back in the shadows near a greeting card store in the new mall. Dr. DuBelle and his assistant stood nearby.

"Where'd she go?" asked Alex.

Dr. DuBelle winced at what he hoped was an unintentional pun. "Hidden. Now, shush!"

"You are sure they will be here?" Shego asked.

Alex was startled.

DuBelle ignored him. "Team Go always keep their promises."

"They are not Team Go," she snapped.

The doctor smiled, "Quite right, Shego."

Team Go arrived at the mall only a few minutes late. They were further delayed by several forward fans asking for autographs as they made their way to the stage.

Several questions and statements were repeated over and over by members of the crowd. "We love you." "Go go!" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Where's Shego?" "Do something super."

There was cheering from the whole crowd when they reached the stage and met with several other local celebrities and officials.

They had already been sitting down and listening to a speech when Shego made her way to the stage. A few fans distracted her with greetings and a few questions as she came. The greetings were answered with a forced smile, but the questions were not.

When she got to the stage, the speaker paused to say, "Thank you for coming".

Shego responded with a short "Thank you" and sat down next to Hego.

"I didn't think you were coming," whispered Hego as the speaker continued.

"What did I tell you?" Shego asked sarcastically.

"That you didn't want to come," he whispered, taking her question literally.

"I changed my mind," she crossed her arms.

Most of the stores still had their gates down. They were probably waiting until after the ceremony. Sheela walked over to where the crowd was assembled. She could just hear the warble of some speech being amplified as she reached the edge of the crowd. She hung back so that her brothers would have little chance of seeing her and no chance of recognizing her.

Even from her place, leaning against a support pillar, she could just make out the team. Her boredom at waiting for the ceremony to end was shattered when she began to wonder who the green woman sitting next to Hego was.

As the ceremony was ended, Sheela decided that keeping tabs on the team was more important than shopping. Nobody messed with her family and got away with it.

She followed them carefully and without being seen.

They began to browse about with a few shy, but rabid fans trailing after them. This cluster of people made it easier to watch the team from a distance without being noticed.

They seemed to be entertaining the lady imposter in a fashion that actually made Sheela jealous. Only the presumption that they thought she was Shego kept her from running up and showing them just how she felt.

The imposter led them around and through various shops, picking out new clothes accessories and various other items, which the boys carried for her dutifully. Sheela had to admit that the girl had good taste.

"So what about our plans later today?" Shego asked Hego as she handed him yet another shopping bag, this one full of shoes.

"The whole day is yours," said Hego.

Mego rolled his eyes and shuffled the bags he was carrying.
