Joss stared at the JossLine that had just told her the news of Ron spilling the beans to not only her father, but also Kim's parents. "That boy is all kinds of stupid..."
"Can't argue with that sweetie, but what can ya do? It's not like you can just quit this mission and go home... not after all the dedication you've shown already," Amanda answered with a wave towards Joss's paint job and wig.
Joss shook her head and put her JossLine away back into the bag she'd pulled it out of. "No I can't, but I may have to go radio silent again to avoid getting caught by Kimmy or the Go family..." Joss mused as she looked around the room nervously.
"Or have your family come and try to strangle you..." Amanda reasoned, seeing the nervous expression on Joss's face. "If ya want, we can head out early and get into position to watch them."
"That sounds good... thanks." Joss replied, gathering up a few pieces of gear, namely binoculars and sunscreen, SPF 100.
Joss sighed as she sat watching her cousin climbing up a deer trail through a pair of binoculars. She knew Kim would be safe with Shego around, but still her mission was to maintain supervision on them, and she'd rather deal with Kim when she's angry then that Director woman. Of course, her company couldn't be better.
"And here we see the rare sight of a Heroine Redus and a Villianess Greenus migrating to a new nesting grounds," Amanda stage whispered into her hairbrush, as though it was a microphone. "Now normally these two would be natural enemies, but due to forces beyond their control they are now enjoying each other's company."
Joss let out a soft laugh as she rethought the couldn't be better part, pointing out a few things that could be better. But for now, this was nice, and she was getting used to being naked, the sun warming her backside, while a nice breeze kept it from overheating. Even the feeling of Amanda laying a few inches away from her was comforting to her now, she was really beginning to like the girl. Having to make out with her might have something to do with that, but mostly it was just the feeling that she created in Joss's heart. Especially when she agreed on Ron being 'all kinds of stupid'.
Turning her attention back on Shego and Kim, she noticed that they both appeared to be looking directly at her, but they turned back around and continued on their way. "I wonder what that was about..."
Meanwhile, Kim couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched, and Shego seemed to be suffering the same. "Shego... did you see anything?"
"No Nemmy, I didn't..." Shego teased lightly while looking over her shoulder one more time. If there was one thing she hated, it was the feeling that she was being watched. The crawling sensation she was getting sent a shiver up her back, and she could almost swear the person watching her was making fun of her. To distract Kim, and being honest herself, from the feeling of being watched, she changed the subject. "When we get to the camping spot, I want to show you this great overlook, we should make it in time to see the sunset over the lake."
"That sounds great," Kim replied with a smile as she followed Shego, enjoying the sights and sounds of nature that she normally didn't get to see. Being a hero meant that she rarely got the chance to slow down and just enjoy life, but now she was enjoying the scenery, especially the view right in front of her.
At the sound of a soft purring behind her, Shego smirked and gave her rear a little shake, teasing the woman behind her. Both of them were enjoying the new freedom admitting their feelings had given them, and this camping trip promises to be an enjoyable one. Little did they realize that this would be the last enjoyable time for a while.
Back at her home, Anastasia was busy using the cellphone Shego got her to call up Kim's parents. She had to jump through a few hoops, mostly because they weren't listed, however a quick call to her old boss got her the number she needed. She really wish she could have skipped calling up the former head of Global Justice, but it was necessary.
Now, here she was waiting for the call to go through, when a male voice came over the line. "Hello, Possibles, this is James speaking."
"James? Is this Kimberly Possible's father?" Anastasia asked curiously, her eyes looking down at the information she'd gathered on Kim so far.
"This is... who's this? How do you know Kim?" James asked worriedly as he wished his wife was home, she was always better at dealing with people.
"This is Anastasia Go, Pollyanna's mother. I'm the doctor that she took Kim to, in regards to the changes she's going through," Anastasia explained calmly. "I'm calling to let you know that she is doing fine, and that the changes are under control."
"She's alright? What changes?"
"She's fine, but I think that maybe having her parents here would help her with the recovery. If you would like, I can have a friend pick you two up and bring you here."
"What about Joss? Is she there with Kim?"
Anastasia's eyes bugged a little at the mention of another person that was supposed to be with Kim, "I... I haven't met her, but I'm sure she's close..."
"Okay... if you'll give us the location, we'll be there as fast as possible," James answered with a sigh of relief.
"New Haven Naturist Resort, how many should I tell the guard to expect?" Anastasia asked while writing down a note, including a side note to find Joss.
"Three adults, my wife, myself, and Joss's father Slim. Can I talk to Kim?"
"I'm sorry, she's out camping with Polly, she'll be back in about a week, if you and your family want to be here when she gets back, I'd say be here in five days."
"We'll be there, thank you."
"My pleasure James, I hope to see you soon," Anastasia replied with a small smile, "Let me just dig up my cell number so you can call me if you need to..."
While she dug around for her cell phone number, she powered up her motion sensor array. Shortly after finding the little card she wrote her number on, she smiled wickedly as the array pointed out two intruders on her property. "Still there James? Here's my number..."
Kim shivered slightly as a bad feeling struck her, but she wrote it off as the cool wind blowing down off the hills surrounding the hot spring that the camping site was next to. It wasn't a bad spot, the warm moist air was contained in the valley, giving it a fairly warm and inviting feel to it. And since this was on Anastasia's land, she knew that Shego and herself would be comfortably alone for a while. The tent had been pitched, and she was gathering some kindling for a campfire, since the firewood had been stored in a waterproof shelter, keeping it fresh and dry from the rain.
She knew deep inside that while she could get used to this, there was no way she would be able to. She needed to save the world, almost as much as it needed her to save it. There was a feeling she got from saving the world, a sense of worth and power that was impossible to just forget. This was a great vacation, and she could admit to having needed it, but she wouldn't trade saving the world for anything.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she looks at the stack in her hands and turned back to camp. Piling the kindling where Shego had specified, she sat down and looked out towards the water of the hot spring fed lake. The calming sounds of it soothed her mind into a blissful state of non-thought as she waited for Shego's return.
Her zen mindset was interrupted when Shego hugged her from behind and rested her chin on the redhead's shoulder. "It's nice here, isn't it Nemmy?"
"Yeah, it is Polly... it is very nice here..." Kim whispered back softly, "Strangely I... I can't help but think that it's things like this that make being the hero worthwhile. Saving the world, even with all its problems means that these little pockets of beauty have a chance."
Shego smiled and closed her eyes, letting Kim's word settle in for a moment before replying. "I used to think the same thing, before my brothers drove me insane with that whole Team Go thing... I really just wanted to be a teacher, you know? I never wanted to be a hero or a villain, but with my powers... no one would accept me as anything else." Tears ran silent tracks down he cheeks as she snuggled into Kim's back. "That comet stole my dreams from me, stole the future I had planned. But I can see that if it wasn't for that stupid rock, I wouldn't be here right now... holding the greatest treasure in the world."
Kim turned her head slightly, catching the tears coming out of Shego's eyes with her lips, gently kissing each cheek, resting her forehead against the green skinned woman's forehead. "There's a part of you that held onto those dreams Shego, maybe we can bring it out into the light..." Kim whispered, filling Shego's heart with hope before their lips met in a tender kiss.
A few dozen yards away, Joss lowered her binoculars with a small smile of her own. While it hurt that Kim had found someone to be with, that wasn't her, it made her feel good that Kim had someone strong to support her, even as she supported them. Turning back to her own camp she settled in under her blanket, shifting leaves to cover the top as she curled around Amanda quietly. "Thank ya Amanda, fer everythin'."
"You're welcome, Joss..." Amanda murmured back quietly, her eyes closing with the warm security she felt in Joss's arms. A rare thing for one so young.
"I told ya, outta yer house it's 'Nica, not Joss..."
"Oh, I don't know about that Joss Possible," Anastasia interrupted suddenly as she stepped out from behind a tree. "I'm sure that Ranger Kensington got it right the first time. Though I would like to know why you two are trying to sleep on my property, after spying on my daughter and her friend."
Joss and Amanda looked at each other nervously, knowing that they had been busted, which was made worse when Anastasia finished. "I'm sure your father would love to know about this when he gets here at the end of the week..."
Many miles away, in a laboratory, deep in the mountains around Middleton, Draken looked at the sleeping form of DNAmy. It was nice having an accomplice that wasn't constantly putting him down, or belittling his plans. Pulling up a blanket around the large woman's shoulders he smiled as he looked up at the formula and notes sprawling across the screen.
"You think you're all that Kim Possible," Drakken growled as he clenched his tiny fist, "But you're not, and soon you and Shego will be my loyal pets."
Chuckling, Drakken turned away and stalked towards his bedroom with an evil laugh. "And then we'll see how the world loves you when you're nothing but helpless little kitten, all your faculties gone but your memories. Maybe you'll beg and plead for me to stop tormenting you as I take over the world, but no... you two will be my little kitties..."
Pausing a moment he tapped his chin in thought. "I hope Miss Hall solves that hypoallergenic problem for me... it would make being the ruler of the world so much easier without sneezing around my two pets all the time."
As he laid down for bed, he never once considered what Amy had wanted at the zoo, nor all those books on Siberian tigers. No, his mind was already on the end result. A matching pair of women turned kittens for life.
