Didn't mention this first chappie, but by the time i started writing, i hadn't really factored in the events of STD, and I decided working it in would be a bit to much effort, so basically the movie didn't happen in this little universe, through some things may mirror it slightly.

It was Shego's turn to pace. She had dragged the unresisting Kim back inside and tossed her on the sofa, and was now glaring down at the girl. Sitting very still, head bowed, Kim looked like she could snap in a moment.

"Right."

Shego stood over her and looked down.

"What. Is. Your. Defect."

"…"

"DAMMIT KIM!"

Kim's shoulders began to shake, and Shego smacked a palm to her forehead. This is NOT what I was hoping for. I thought she was just ill, or stressed, and we'd be able to have a nice little spar, just the two of us. But this…

Trying to put on a concerned face, a task that she found disturbingly easy, Shego sat next to the shaking girl and pulled her into a hug. The shaking stopped.

God, I can't believe I'm doing this…

Shego gently cupped Kim's chin and turned her head up to look her in the eye. Kim was staring at her, wide eyed, almost in shock.

"She…go?"

"Kim. I call you my archrival for a reason. Now I know I didn't go and pick some weakling who starts sniveling at the first sign of trouble. So, one world-class badass to another, what's wrong?"

I swear, if anyone else hears this…

"I…"

"Yes?"

"N-N-Nothing's wrong…"

"Yeah…sure Kimmie. Something in your eye, right?"

"…"

"Kim?"

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why…would you care…what happens to me?"

Shego sighed. She really didn't want to have this kind of conversation. Hell, she hadn't planned on any form of conversation other than the usual combat banter she loved so much. But my little pumpkin is way off the deep end here…

"I told you. You're my rival. Fighting you…happens to be one of my favorite pastimes, alright?" Maybe the only thing left I enjoy… "So…just call it a professional courtesy."

"What about…'protecting what's mine?"

Shego's mouth worked for a moment before she returned to simply glaring at Kim.

"What about it? With you like…this, some two-bit goon might take you down. I won't have that. That honor is mine and mine alone. And you certainly can't do the world any good in the state you're in. So just…tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. Everything…is great. I'm doing great at school, helping out a lot with extra-curricular activities, I've been able to do some volunteer work around town, family's great, missions are great, everything is just…great."

"And?"

"And what?"

"The bags under your eyes? The fact I can feel your ribs through your sweater? That you're moving slower than the very first time I fought you?"

"…"

"…"

Shego stared into Kim's eyes. This is insane. What is wrong with the stupid girl? Everything is fine from what I've seen…everything…everything…oh yeah…I get it now…

"Everything huh?"

"Yeah…"

"Every. Damn. Thing.

"Yes…"

"Everything. Taken on everything asked of you. Everything you could cram into your day, and then some. Every bit of homework, every hobby, every damn nitwit's problem that needed the attention of the great Kim Possible. You've been taking care of everything…but yourself."

Kim's eyes widened slightly, but she said nothing.

"That's it, isn't it? You haven't had one moment of peace for how long?"

Kim merely lowered her head.

"Right. I know what you need."

"Huh?"

"A vacation. Hawaii, maybe."

"Ha-? But, school! And the programs I've signed up to help with! I can't just ditch everything! That would be…"

"Irresponsible?"

"Exactly! I have to-"

Kim never saw it coming. Mid-sentence, Shego flipped her over and aimed a precise hit at the base of her skull, aided by just a teeny bit of plasma. Kim dropped like…well, like a sack of potatoes. Lumps and all. Pausing a moment, Shego yanked Kim's shirt up to show what her normal crop-top would, and winced. It was worse than she first thought. Kim might have eating, but nowhere near enough for her lifestyle. First thing I'm gonna have to do is fatten you up, princess, even if I have to spoon feed you. Then, once you're good and healthy, I will beat some sense back into you.

Shego tossed Kim over her shoulder, locked the door behind her, heading for the copter. Once she strapped in sleeping beauty, she pulled out a PDA and typed up another e-mail from 'Kigo Enterprises,' sending it to Kim's website. That should give her some time. Flicking a switch on the dashboard, the 'copter' façade fizzed away, replaced by a small anti-grav hovercraft she had borrowed from Dr. Drakken. The engines hummed to life, and Shego set the auto-pilot for one of the many retreats she owned.

Places I haven't visited in a while…they just weren't fun anymore. But now…

"This is just too much, princess."

Shego sat down next to the unconscious girl, resting Kim's head on her shoulder. She reached up and toyed with a lock of red hair, twirling it around a finger. Releasing it, Shego leaned down for a kiss, but was interrupted by a tiny, musical beeping. Sticking her hands into Kim's pocket, she came out with a small device she had seen Kim carry. Listening to a second beep, she decided to answer, putting a thumb over the built-in camera. A face she vaguely recognized appeared on screen.

"Kim? Kim? What happened to the picture?"

"Hey, um…nerd-boy."

The boy on the screen jumped as Shego's face appeared.

"Shego! Where's Kim? What did you do to her?"

"She's right here, oh and, by the way, it's what she did to herself."

Shego pointed the camera at Kim, wiping off some of the makeup that hid her sorry state, and showing her decidedly lean frame. Hearing a slight gasp, she turned the picture back to her.

"Did you know about this?"

"I…what? No, I…wait, what do you mean? You mean you didn't…"

"Of course not! Little Kimmie just hasn't been taking very good care of herself lately, that's all. So she's coming with me for a little while."

"Oh no she's-"

"HEY!"

The kid at the other end of the line jumped at the outburst, than stared at the peculiar expression, peculiar for Shego, at least, that had worked it's way onto her face.

"Look. I'm not dragging her to off to Drakken, Hell, he doesn't even know I'm with her right now. Kim's…in a very sorry state right now, and as strange as this may seem…I…just don't like seeing her like this, ok?"

Wade stared at Shego. She was acting very strange, and sounding even stranger.

"Let me get this straight. You…actually care about what happens to Kim?"

Shego scowled, but nodded. Wade responded by laughing in her face.

"And you're going to what? Nurse her back to health?"

"In a manner of speaking. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this as much for me as I am for her. I just want her back in fighting form so I can get my monthly workout from her. Now, I'm taking her to a quiet little place I know-"

"The hell you are, I'll have GJ all over you in-"

"You consider yourself her friend?"

"What? Of course I do! A-"

"Then you're going to let me do this."

"Oh n-"

"Do you really think Kim would just take time off to rest, even if her doctor, her friends, her parents told her to? That she'd just sit around and do nothing?

"…No. But how am I supposed to trust you to take care of her?"

"Because you know that I'm the only one who can make it work. Yeah, so I had to knock her out and kidnap her, so what? That just means she'll actually try to get better, 'cause she knows, right now, she wouldn't last ten seconds in a fight with me. Being healthy means a shot at kicking my ass, and I'm going to make sure she wants that shot real bad."

Shego could see the wheels turning in the boy's head. It was twisted villain's logic, maybe, but twisted was better than nothing. He knew it, and Shego knew he knew.

"All…right. But I have some conditions. First, just you and Kim. No one else goes near her, and i'll know if anyone does. Also, I expect to be able to talk to Kim at a moment's notice to make sure she's all right. And if I see anything funny, or even think something might be wrong, I'll have the army on your doorstep in ten minutes."

"Whatever. I sent an e-mail to her website that'll keep it covered a day or two, at least. I expect you to help back up my cover story."

Wade glared at her through the screen, but agreed all the same.

"Well alright then."

Shego tossed him a smirk and flicked the device off. She flipped Kim's pocket back open, but stopped and slipped it into her ankle pouch. Leaning back, she dropped an arm around the girl's shoulders and pulled her close, grinning down at her.

"Now won't this be great, Princess? You, me, the sun, the sand…" That look in your eyes just before the first punch…that tension I can see in your muscles when you walk towards me…that rush I just know we share when we fight…

Shego tapped the controls with her free hand, the craft rising into the air and speeding towards its destination. The cover went up, shielding them from the wind and weather, and Shego passed the time imagining just what she would do to best 'encourage' her dear little Kimmie.
