Kim had sworn to repay Shego for the stunt she pulled, and bruises or no bruises, that's what she aimed to do. It didn't help, however, that the harder she fought, that look of desire from Shego only intensified. Even when she slipped through Shego's defenses and gave her a bloody nose, sending her spinning to the ground, Shego had staggered back to her feet, grinned, laughed, and charged right back at her. The fight quickly went past a friendly spar, as Kim felt herself pushed to her limits, the same as any of her 'real' fights with Shego. Kim stepped back from a high kick, and stumbled over a rock hidden in her sand. Shego was on top of her in an instant, kissing her, arms around her, pushing her body down on her.

"She-"

"Kim…I…need you…"

"SHEGO!"

Shego froze, slowly pulling herself up.

"I…I…"

"Shego…I told you…just…wait, a little while longer, ok?"

"Y-yeah. I…I'm sorry."

Shego stood up and helped Kim to her feet. The two shifted nervously, not looking at each other, and began walking back to the house in silence.

"Kim?"

"Yes?"

"I am sorry. But…I meant what I said. I need you. Fighting you, holding you, just …being with you…it's all the same to me."

"Shego…"

"Just…that look in your eyes when we fight, when I see your muscles tense and I know what's coming, even when I just see you blush…I'm turning into some kind of lovesick sap, aren't I?"

Kim turned to her and pulled her into an embrace. Shego stiffened momentarily in surprise but quickly put her arms around her.

"Maybe…but you're my lovesick sap, so I won't hold it against you."

"You little…"

"So…hot tub?"

"Absolutely."

"Wait."

"What?"

"I…don't think I packed my bathing suit."

"And?"

"Shego…"

In the end, Shego was all too happy to lend a rather small green and black two-piece for Kim to wear. The two sank into the tub, Shego staring at the ugly scrapes and bruises that covered Kim. Shego gently pulled Kim into her lap and began to massage away her aches. Kim squirmed and sighed but didn't complain as Shego's hands wandered over her.

"Wow. You blush all over, you know that?"

Kim seemed too distracted to respond.

"Sir!"

Agent Du stood up straight, looking over the assembled agents.

"Right. You've all been fully briefed on the situation. Shego and Dr. Drakken are currently hiding in that house, probably planning unspeakable crimes against humanity. You are to assume this is a planned fall-back point and that it is equipped appropriately. I want you all to show extreme caution as we approach, understand?"

"Sir!"

"Move out!"

Agent Du pulled a pair of digital binoculars and took another look at the distant house. It seemed like a high-priced retreat rented to tourists, but he didn't want to take any chances.

"Who knows what diabolical evils they may be committing, even now?"

"SHEGO!"

Kim had made the mistake of stretching her arms above her head, crossing her wrists as she did so. The temptation was too much for Shego to resist, and Kim found her wrists tied together a moment later. Kim tried to twist around, but Shego now sat out of sight, behind her. She felt Shego grab one leg and hold it tight as something brushed her foot.

"Awww, is the big bad heroine ticklish?"

Kim tried to speak between laughs as Shego continued her feathered assault.

"Sh-ee-gg-oooo…T-his-iss no-ot fa-air-air"

"You know, when I think about it, you were very good at escaping…but then, why would you let yourself get caught in the first place?"

"Wha-a-a"

"Unless…you enjoy it when I tie you up…that does explain a lot, you know."

"Shego…"

"Hmmm?"

Shego put the feather aside and flipped Kim over, lying down next to her. She poked a finger between the gaps between the buttons on Kim's pajamas and made tiny circles on her skin, ignoring Kim's glare.

"Shego…untie me…"

"Say 'please."

"…Please."

"OK!"

Shego flipped over and straddled Kim, stretching her body out and leaning down over Kim as she untied the knots holding her to the bedframe. Kim quickly brought her hands down and rubbed her wrists, glaring at Shego point-blank.

"Why did you have to do that?"

"Why are you rubbing your wrists?"

"W-because they're sore. And why do you even have rope under the bed?"

"Firstly, I like…to be prepared. Secondly…your wrists aren't even red. Did you even try to break free?"

The angry glare was replaced with an embarrassed blush.

"I was right!"

"No you aren't! I don't like it when just anyone goes and ties me up!"

"Oh…I see."

"Thank you. Now-"

"You only like it when I do it."

"Shego!"

"Admit it!"

"I…"

"Yes?"

"First, I hate being tied down. I don't like feeling helpless…"

"And?"

"And…I guess…it's…sort of alright when you do it…"

"Oh really…"

"But only because I don't have to worry that I'm going to have a laser pointed at me or be dumped into a tank full of sharks, that's all."

"Oooo…nice save."

"Shego. Do you ever stop?"

"Hmmm…no. At least I won't until…"

"Until what?"

"Kim…"

Shego's tone and expression suddenly turned serious as she rolled off of Kim. Kim sat up and looked across at the now-quiet girl.

"Y-yes?"

"Would it surprise you to know I'm a virgin?"

"Wha-? You…but…"

"No one…looks at me like you do. Sure, before I dragged you off the first time, their was always anger, but that was because of the taunts and because I was a villain. But that was it."

"That was…it?"

Shego waved a hand in front of her face.

"This. Sure, a lot of boys flirted with me, but it was either because I was a prize, the Great Shego, or because I was a damned novelty. Is that makeup, or is she green all over?"

"Shego…there must have been someone…"

"Nope. Not a one. You may have hated me, but you hated me because I was a criminal, not because you thought I was a freak. I probably first became attracted to you when I realized that."

"I never hated you, Shego. You were a pain in the ass, but that's all. And now…"

This time, Kim jumped Shego, piling on top of her and kissing down hard.

"You are my beautiful green-skinned lovesick pain-in-the-ass that I could never do without."

"You…mean that?"

"What, you thought all this time, I didn't feel anything when you kissed me? That I was letting you do it to be polite?"

"…Really?"

"Yes! So just relax already."

"I can't. Not until I…you know."

"Shego…"

Shego was surprised when Kim suddenly took on a serious tone.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry."

"Why?

"Because…you helped me so much…we've spend so much time together…you've trusted me with things you'd never tell anyone else. And I…I think I'm in love with you…but…"

"Yes?"

"Doubt. I try, but it just won't go away, It just won't…I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm-"

"Shhh…"

Shego wrapped her arms tight around Kim and squeezed her close, kissing her as best she could.

"I suppose…it's better if I do wait. I don't want anything holding us back."

"Thank you, Shego."

"Oh no, don't think I'm letting you off that easy. Here I am, pouring out my innermost secrets…"

"You, ahh…want something…else?"

"Yeah. Come here. I want to see you blush."

"Huh?"

Instead of groping Kim or something similar, Shego proceeded to whisper into Kim's ear, in graphic detail, the elaborate plan she had devised for what exactly she planned to do to Kim on their first night together. Several minutes later, once Kim regained the ability to speak coherently, she was able to whisper something back.

"Wow. Though we may…umm…want to stretch first."

They both exploded into laughter. After a moment, Shego flicked the lights off and the two burrowed under the covers, snuggling together tightly. Kim in her pajamas, and Shego in green, lacy lingerie. A few minutes later, Kim found herself toying with the clasp on Shego's bra when she suddenly pulled away from her.

"Shego?"

"Shhh. I hear something."

"Sir!"

Agent Du was crouched by the back door, lockpick on the way back to his pocket when the call came over his headset. Out of habit, he adjusted the sub-vocal microphone pressed against his throat.

"What is it?"

"Thermal indicates the targets are out of bed, had equipped themselves, and are now moving in a controlled manner downstairs!"

"Damn…alright. All agents, confirm your positions and prepare for entry!"

He lifted a small handheld scanner from a padded pocket and saw two people moving stealthily down the stairs. A single order had all agents tense at their positions.

"Identify Shego and focus on her, she's the biggest threat. Ready? Breach!"

Front, side, and rear sliding glass doors were kicked in as the GJ stormed the house. They swarmed through the first floor, clearing rooms as they when, the only security being the civilian system. In a matter of moments, the agents, weapons drawn, converged on the two's position. Nothing. Du yanked the scanner out again.

"Above us, upstairs!"

"Above you, but not upstairs."

A lithe form swung down from above the door and kicked two agents against the far wall. A second form joined the first, and the fight was on.

"What the-"

Du was blinded as a flashbang suddenly went off. Falling back, he yanked the IR goggles off his head and tried to shake the spots away. Pulling his tazer, he tried to aim at whichever of the two bodies was the real Shego, when he realized he wasn't seeing double.

"Two Shegos?"

"Something like that."

Du turned at a familiar sounding voice, and got a kick to the head for his trouble. He was tossed back on top of two more agents who collapsed under the impact. As he struggled to rise, two pairs of feet used him as a springboard, vaulting over the pile of men and running out the door. Scrambling to his feet, he stumbled outside to see the hoverpod rising into the air and speeding away.

"Wade? Wade!"

"Kim? Do you know what time it is?"

"Sorry! But we just got ambushed by a team of heavily armed men."

"What! Are you all right?"

"Fine, can you tell me who they were?"

"Hang on, bringing satellite control up. What happened?"

"The house was stormed just after we went to bed."

"Eer…Kim…"

"What?"

Wade was staring at her in the strangest way.

"Would you…repeat that?"

Shego pulled the kimmunicator out of her hands and stared into the screen.

"She said, just after the dip in the hot tub and a hot oil massage, we jumped into bed, ripped off each other's clothes and made wild, sweaty, passionate-"

"Give me that!"

Kim took the device back, but Wade wasn't on screen.

"Wade? Where are-"

She saw an arm reach up, grab the desk, and she waited for Wade to pull himself back into his chair.

"Sorry. One sec…uh oh."

"What?

"Umm…."

"Wade…"

"Ahhh, Kim? You didn't hurt any of them, did you?"

"Of course I did! …Why?"

"You two…just beat the stuffing out of a squad of GJ agents."

"WHAT?"

"I'll patch you in…"

A moment of static, and familiar voices began to filter though.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Director. The second thermal signature was not Dr. Drakken. It was someone unknown, and who hits even harder than Shego."

Shego scowled and started muttering under her breath.

"Our satellites are moving out of range. I'll contact Mr. Load and see if he can assist with tracking them. Unofficially."

The picture suddenly returned to a very nervous-looking Wade.

"Kim…"

He was interrupted by a beeping from his computer, and after another glance at Kim, put a headset on and spoke into the microphone, having a short, but nerve-wracking conversation.

"Ahhh…Kim…you do realize that you're assisting a criminal escape law enforcement?"

Kim froze. She looked at Wade, looked at Shego, and closed her eyes, trying to slow her breathing.

"Yes."

Wade smiled.

"Then you'll need my help to get away."

"Wade…I can't ask you-"

"Kim, if you're sure, really sure, then…"

"I am."

"But I'm not."

"Shego?"

"You'll be a criminal. You can't-"

"Shego?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

A green gloved hand found hers, and squeezed it.

"Thanks."

"Kim?"

"Go Wade."

"The hoverpod is generating some kind of anomalous EM field, I don't know why. I also don't know how to dissipate it. You'll have to ditch the pod and find other transportation. A shipping company in Rio de Janeiro owes you a favor, sending the co-ordinates.

"Wade, you rock…and thank you."

"Kim…just…be careful, alright?"

"I will."

Kim leaned over and rested her head on Shego's shoulder.

"I'm…gonna be grounded for life."

"Kim…no matter what…and don't tell anyone I said this…I'll do everything I can to help you."

"Thanks, Shego."

Kim lowered her head onto Shego's lap and tried to sort her jumbled thoughts as Shego piloted.

"Kim…I know a place where we can hide out, for a little while…but you're not going to like it."

"Will you be there?"

"Yeah…"

"Then it's fine."

"Oooookayyy…just don't talk like that and it'll be alright."

Alarms blared. Men armed themselves. Defenses were brought online. The door shook as someone pounded on it. Slowly, it screeched open, silhouetting two figures. One, a tall, athletic female figure, stepped forward fearlessly. Above the mass of men, Dr. Drakken wrung his hands.

"Possible! I haven't even been here a week! This is harassment! Men…"

"HEY!"

"Oh, hello, Shego. I wondered where you-"

The second figure stepped forward into view.

"Kim Possible! Shego! You've been followed!"

Drakken merely gaped in shock as Kim Possible walked up to Shego, put both hands around her hips, and pulled her into a fierce kiss.

"Hey, Drakken, my girlfriend needs a place to crash. You don't mind, do you?"

"Buh…Ki…She…Wha…"

"Thanks!"

Arms around each other, hips bumping together as they walked, the two girls waltzed around the henchmen, who were too surprised to move. Drakken eyes rolled back into his head, falling to the floor and beginning to drool, motionless other than the occasional twitch.
