Thanks to all who reviewed. I hope you'll hang with this story through chapters 3 and 4. I don't think anyone has guessed where this is going. "Dying is easy, comedy is hard." Edmund Keene
Blue Girl: 2
"Wade, are you sure about this?" Kim asked, "because there doesn't seem to be any security in place."
The voice from her Kimmunicator sounded both hurt and peeved, "Kim, have I ever sent you on an unnecessary mission, or given you bad info?"
"Well, Wade, now that you ask," the blonde looking over Kim's shoulder began, "there was that time in…"
"So not needed, Ron, Wades' score record is so much better than someone else in this conversation." Kim giggled.
"What have we discussed about hurting with our words?" Ron replied in his best Drakken voice.
Kim turned her lips enough to kiss him quickly on the lips.
"Wow, the Possible miracle cure works again, but I think I may need a little stronger dose."
Wade gagged.
"Keep your head in this game, Ron," Kim grinned, "We'll get to other games later."
"Booyah!" he exulted as she turned back, "but I'm just saying, it doesn't feel right. I mean, what's with the blue light in the ventilation shafts?"
Wade looked stricken, "Wish you'd mentioned that before, Kim…"
"Already on it," she said, extending the Kimmunicator.
"Hmmmm, un huh, yeah, this may take a ….got it. Nothing dangerous, Kim, the light shows up as frequency that, theoretically, should keep bugs and other critters out of the vent. You'd have to stay under it for weeks, maybe months to show any ill effects."
"Bugs!"
"Not now, Ron, besides it keeps them out. So you ready?"
"Oh, right, you got it KP."
They began their journey.
Bwa ha ha, it's working, it's working."
"Drakken, if you don't quit cackling and tell me what's going on…" Shego growled.
"This is a need to know basis, and you don't need to "
"You don't know what it does, do you?"
"Yes, I do."
"Do not."
"Do."
"Do not."
"Do, never mind, Shego, just remember your part."
"I'll do it, because the only other time you almost won, you wouldn't tell me then either. But if this doesn't work, you'll need to borrow Killigans' kilt to stay decent."
"No time for jokes, Shego, they're almost here." He hurried over to his control console.
Sitting in her lounge, pulling out her nail file, Shego replied softly, "Who said anything about jokes?"
"Ok, Ron, you know what to do." Kim said, peering through the ventilation grate at her arch foes.
"Not a problem, KP, me and Rufus got it covered. Right buddy?"
"Uh huh, uh huh, covered." Ron's naked mole rat buddy replied from the pocket of his cargo pants.
"All right then, boys, let's go." She kicked the grate out and leaped lightly to the floor. "Lipsky, you are so busted."
"Dr. Drakken, if you please," The lip she gives after one little defeat, Shego!"
"I'm on it, how's it feel, Princess?" Throwing a kick at the teenager, "When do we change the name?"
Kim blocked the kick, riposting with a jab to the villains' jaw. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, I thought about it, and figured out that you'll only be doing this for another couple of months," Shego did a back flip away from the foot that grazed her chest, setting up her own strike, "and then..."
"Then what, Shego." Kim was becoming confused and angry at the banter. It did not slow down her attack, though. "Why would I quit after another couple of months?"
"Well, I've been thinking, and the only reason I could come up with for you dating the sidekick, whoof…" her air left as Kim's foot slammed into her stomach.
"He's not a sidekick, he's my partner." Kim aimed both feet at Shegos' head.
Rolling away from the double strike, Shego gasped, "Whatever, I just wanted to let you know I understand these things happen."
"What things happen?" Kim gritted, continuing her attack.
"Come on, Princess, I said I understand, the close call, the adrenaline rush, the sheer excitement of still being alive, with a 'friend' holding you….accidents happen."
She forced Kim to retreat with a series of blocked blows. She dodged Kims'counterattack.
"What accident? What are you…?" Kim's' jaw dropped and her face turned scarlet, "you think we, I mean I'm, you…" she stuttered.
Unfortunately, along with her jaw, Kim's guard had dropped, allowing Shego to nail her. Kim collapsed as Drakken yelled over the sound of frying circuitry, "Shego, let's go."
Lying on the floor, her head ringing, Kim saw her tormentor's wave and cheery, "Later, Princess."
Ron ran to intercept the fleeing villain, but stopped when he saw a downed Kim.
He ran over and fell to his knees beside her. "KP, what happened, are you all right?" He reached to stroke her hair.
"I'm all right, Ron, she just got past my guard." Kim replied as she dizzily sat up.
Ron gently pulled her head to his chest, supporting her until she recovered. "How did that happen, is she getting better?"
"No, darn it, she played me." Seeing the question forming on Ron's face she growled, "Don't ask" then blushed as she remembered herself.
Ron's questioning face began to grin, getting wider and wider.
"Do. Not. Ask." Kim glowered. "Let's just get out of here."
His grin, if possible, grew, "Whatever you say, KP, but with the steel access doors shut, and no explosions, we'll have to go back through the vent."
"Blue lights don't bother me, let's just go." Kim leapt up to grasp the grill rail, knowing that this conversation was not going to go away. "Not now, not ever," she told herself, knowing that Ron would not let this one go.
"Right behind you," she heard his laughing voice as they shinnied down the blue lit tunnel.
