I don't own these characters, Disney has them on straight lock. I, however, did come up with Trin and Tatsu and the little annoyance of the chapter called Lily.
5: Crushing
"So far, this is the worst vacation I've ever had in all of my life," Shego complained as she escaped with Trin to get out of doing the dishes.
Nana and Liz had attempted to grab them up to do the dishes. They had offered the older women similar looks, questioning the older women's sanity, before walking off. They had not helped with dinner, so what made anyone think that they were going to do the dishes? The Possibles showed signs of stupidity in Shego's opinion. It was the only reason that she could think of as to why someone would try to recruit her and the blonde banshee to do anything.
"To think, I could be in Japan right now buying my pink kimono with the flower print," Trin sighed, shaking her head. She hoped Shin remembered to get her kimono. She did not bother to call him and remind him. He would not listen to her over the phone most of the time, especially when he was on vacation. He would be having too much fun, so she knew that he would not pay her any mind unless she was physically there.
"You and this crappy pink color. What is with you and pink? Could you be any more of a wimp?" Shego commented. They retreated outside, standing alone on the porch.
"Oh, yes, green and black is not only so original, but the height of fashion," Trin remarked sarcastically. She stepped away from Shego and turned her gaze outward, looking at nothing in particular.
"My outfit is way better than yours," the green-skinned woman riposted.
Trin only scoffed. She glanced down at her watch to see what time it was and she sighed. She needed something to do for a few more hours or she would settle on throwing Shego through a window, just to get a real rise out of the former thief. At least if one of them ended up in the hospital, it would get them away from the house. Also, whatever led to one of them needing to be hospitalized would undoubtedly be interesting.
The only thing that stopped Trin from going through with that idea was damaging her uncle's house. She did not want to trouble Uncle Slim with pointless destruction, even if she and Shego could and would pay for the damages. No, she needed another plan. It did not take long to think of what to do.
"Hey, Shego, you want to go to a bar?" the blonde suggested. It was not like they had anything better to do.
"Now?" Shego hoped, even though it was not even eight in the evening yet.
"Yes," Trin confirmed.
"Yes," Shego answered. She was close to cheering Trin on for proposing that they leave, even if it was only for a little while.
"All right, I'll go get the keys to the car and you go get Kim and Tatsu," the farsighted female said.
Shego did not argue and trotted off to retrieve their girlfriends. Trin went to her father to get the keys to the car. James was with Slim, looking at some new equipment that the older brother had purchased for the ranch.
"Hey, Dad, sorry to interrupt, but may I have the keys to the car?" Trin requested.
"Sure thing. Where you going?" James asked as he went into his pocket for the rented minivan's key. He handed it over without a second thought.
"Into town," the blonde answered. She knew better than to say the word "bar" near her father, so saying it to him was out of the question. He would freak for the rest of the night if he knew that his little girls were going to a bar, even if they did not drink.
"All right. Be back by ten," the rocket scientist ordered.
"Dad," Trin objected. She was a grown woman, close to drinking age, as was the trio that she was going out with; one was just beyond drinking age, in fact. They could all vote, serve in the military, or even live alone legally if they decided to do so, so they should not have a curfew as far as she was concerned, especially since there was almost no chance of something happening to them individually. Hell, as a group, they could probably conquer the state of Montana if they chose to.
"By ten," he repeated. He liked his girls to be in the house and safe at a decent hour, so they could avoid any troublemaking young people that stayed out on the street all through the night.
"Uncle Slim, help me out here," Trin requested as a joke.
"You should do what your daddy says, Shorty," Slim replied.
The blonde had to fight with herself to avoid laughing. There was something about her uncle that she truly liked and he made coming to Montana worth it all on his own, even though he insisted on calling her "shorty." She did not mind his teasing her because she knew that it was all in good fun. He was the only Possible that made her feel at ease outside of her immediate family. She really loved the guy.
"Thanks for the help," Trin deadpanned.
"Hey, I got a daughter, too, Shorty. I know how it is. So, like I said, listen to your daddy," Slim repeated and went so far as to wag his finger at her.
Trin agreed to the ten o'clock curfew because she knew that there was no fighting it. It was either be in by ten or stay in all night and go stark, raving mad. She would always take the former over the latter. She informed the other ladies what time they had to be in as they went to get into the automobile.
"You're kidding, right?" Shego asked the blonde about the curfew.
"No, she's not," Kim assured her lover.
"Well, we don't really have—" the green-skinned female started to say, but Kim cut her off.
"Trust me, life is so much easier to just come in at ten," the redhead promised her former foe. Her father would go on all night if they came in a minute after ten.
"Damn it," the emerald-eyed woman huffed.
"Don't worry about it. The bar isn't so spectacular that we would want to stay past ten anyway," Trin commented dryly.
"It can't be as bad as the ranch," Shego stated and Trin could not argue that one.
The group took the nearly half-hour drive into town and went to the bar that Trin knew about. She was aware that had she entered with Shin, all hell would have broken loose immediately. One time, they did not even make it into the bar before getting into a fight. She was stunned that the town did not have "wanted" posters of Shin. It was a small, traditional American town, so they logically were not too happy when the openly gay Shin blew into town, almost literally on the "blew" part. It did not help matters that he and she started their "spot the homosexual" game and Shin, as usual, had to see how accurate they were. It was so easy to hate Shin in such a small place with the way he acted.
"Oh, yeah, this place is popping," Shego commented sarcastically while looking around the tavern.
"It's as jumping as the rest of the town, so just shut up and have a drink," Trin replied.
"Don't make me start a bar fight," the former thief threatened her "new nemesis."
Trin waved the older female off. She turned to Tatsu and asked the mechanic if she wished to play some darts. Tatsu accepted since there was nothing better to do. Of course, Trin ignoring her did not put Shego off.
"You sure you should be playing darts? I mean, with your eyes, you'll probably injure someone with the damn thing," Shego remarked.
Trin rolled her eyes. "Oh, a joke about my eyes and darts. I've never heard one of those before. You are so original, Shego."
Trin went to get some darts for the game before Shego could say anything in return. Shego made a face to the back Trin's head, though. The blonde returned and took her glasses off as she stepped away from the dartboard.
"She's going to kill us all," Shego remarked since Trin had removed her spectacles.
Trin went first in the game and she threw the darts as if they were needles used as weapons. She was exceptionally good. She could hit a target with shuriken of all types, so it made sense that she could hit a target with a dart. Tatsu was good, too, which was also expected with the way she always threw things with bone-crushing accuracy. The unexpected part of the whole game was when Tatsu took her turn, some woman came out of nowhere and hugged Trin.
"What the hell?" Shego said what Kim thought while Trin merely made a very irked and outraged noise as they watched the woman embrace the blonde.
The young lady appeared to be about in their age-range. She had on plain blue jean shorts that hugged her curvy legs and showing off the long limbs to the world. She wore a tank top that put her top half on display and it was a better sight than her legs, which were great in their own right. She had chocolate brown hair down her back with some light brown highlights. She had deep hazel eyes and a cute face. Her figure was impressive and warranted staring from everyone that was into women. She was also shorter than the blonde in her grip.
Trin had to toss on her glasses to see who it was that dared to touch her. The others wondered why the blonde had not thrown the girl to the ground yet, as they had seen her do to other people before. In fact, Kim had seen Trin knee a guy in the balls just for flicking her hair. And to show she was not gender biased, Kim had also seen Trin almost shatter a girl's wrist because the girl caressed Trin's cheek while flirting with Trin. It did not seem like reality to them for that girl to not be on the floor yet and crying after she grabbed the farsighted female. Trin could finally make out whom it was that she might have to kill.
"Lily?" Trin asked in an astonished tone, blinking a couple of times to make sure she saw right.
"Of course," the young woman answered with a bit of a carefree giggle that made Shego cringe.
Trin made a small noise while managing to gently pry the young woman off of her. Tatsu eyed the pair, but continued to shoot her darts. Trin glanced at her lover and then turned her attention back to the newcomer, Lily, who did not seem too offended at being removed from the blonde's person, but she pouted a bit. Kim and Shego waited for the story that had to come with Lily considering Trin did not plant the girl into the floor.
"I win," Tatsu informed her lover in a clipped tone and then she started back to the booth that they were all occupying.
"What?" Trin asked in disbelief and then she turned to look at the board. "Wait, I want a rematch," she requested because she hated to lose, even to Tatsu.
"Why? You can't beat her without your seeing eye dog," Shego taunted Trin.
Trin rolled her tropical-colored eyes, but before she could shoot anything back at the green-skinned annoyance, she was being embraced again. The blonde frowned, knowing that her current condition really did not look good. It also did not help matters that Tatsu was possessive of her. She decided to introduce Lily before she got into any trouble with her baby. After all, with the way that Lily clung to her, she would even believe there was something between them.
"Everyone, this is Lily. Lily, this is Shego, my sister Kim, and my girl Tatsu," Trin said. She felt that making it clear that Tatsu was her girlfriend, then she should be off the hook because she was being very open and honest.
"I'm glad to meet your friends. It's very nice to meet you all," Lily informed everyone in a very polite and cheerful tone while making sure to not let go of Trin's arm. Apparently, she either missed the fact that Trin was with Tatsu or she chose to ignore it. Either way, it was not a good thing for the blonde.
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you, too," Kim replied while giving her sister a look demanding an explanation as to who the perky girl was and why she practically hung on Trin.
"I met Lily the last time I was out this way," Trin offered, even though that was not saying much. She was not totally sure how to explain Lily.
"When was that?" Shego asked curiously because with the way that girl clung to Trin and did not get clobbered for it, there needed to be a much more in-depth explanation and she believed that more questions would help them get to that explanation. She had to know why that girl was allowed to touch the blond banshee.
"Four years ago," Trin answered.
"And I've missed you in all that time," Lily said in a sulking kind of tone while running her fingers along Trin's arm. The trio with the blonde could not believe their eyes.
"Yeah, we can tell that much," Shego remarked with a smirk.
Trin growled in annoyance at the former villainess while finally managing to get her arm away from Lily. The brunette girl did not seem deterred and took hold of the limb yet again. Shego appeared thoroughly entertained because she could tell that Trin was suffering. Trin was frustrated with not having control of her arm while Tatsu was busy scowling deeply.
"I'm really glad to see you again, Trin. You always take so long to answer my emails and I get so lonely," Lily stated while continuing to pout and caress the blonde's arm.
"Trin, you must've put it on this girl something wicked," Shego commented, watching the whole scene like it was a movie because it was that unreal to her. Kim would have agreed, but she was speechless at the moment because she could not believe that the brunette was serious with the way she acted.
"What?" the blonde asked as if she was horrified by those very words while still trying to get her arm back without having to either gnaw it off or hit Lily. Every time she freed the limb, Lily just took charge of her arm again.
"Shego," Kim finally managed to say when she realized that her lover implied. Her sister would never cheat on Tatsu. But, then again, four years ago, Kim doubted Trin even knew who Tatsu was. She wondered if it were even possible for someone to have gained Trin's trust four years ago to get her into bed.
"I'm just saying, you had to do something just all out freaky for this," the green-skinned female said while motioning to the pair. Tatsu frowned deeper.
"Shego," the teen hero said one more time when she noticed the mechanic's expression.
Tatsu looked like she was ready to lose it. If Tatsu threw a glass bottle at Shin for jokingly grabbing Trin's ass, Kim was not interested in seeing what Tatsu might do to someone who genuinely showed an interest in Trin. It could only be worse for Lily to being this after Trin said Tatsu was her girlfriend.
"What's she talking about, Trin?" Lily asked, either playing innocent or actually being innocent. The others were not sure which it was, but for some reason, they assumed it was the latter.
"Don't pay her any mind. And do you suppose I might have my arm back?" Trin requested.
"Oh, sure," Lily replied and she finally released the blonde's limb.
"Shego, why don't we go play some pool with Tatsu," Kim suggested because it looked like Tatsu was about to explode and Shego did not help matters by trying to get to the bottom of who Lily was and what she was to Trin.
"If Tatsu plays for money, I'm in," the ex-sidekick answered.
The couple got up and forced Tatsu away from the scene that caused her such obvious aggravation, much to Trin's dismay. She was left alone with Lily and she knew the brunette's behavior would only get her into more trouble because now in Lily's mind, they were alone. Trin was also not a fan of Tatsu being near Shego, who she knew was only going to make things worse with her mouth.
Shego did not know how Tatsu was. They only saw the quiet, laidback mechanic and they thought that she was like that all of the time, but Tatsu was easily angered when it came to Trin. She did not like the idea of other people even looking at her blond bombshell in a sexual manner and she had gotten into several fights with guys who dared to eye her beloved. She also got into fights with girls that looked at Trin. Sometimes, the girls did not even look in a salacious manner, but they indulged themselves in Trin in a way that Tatsu just did not like, so she made it stop.
As suspected, Shego was not making the circumstances better. She just let her mouth run away with her, mostly because she was so bored and it was something to do. She kept talking about how badly Trin must have worked on Lily for the girl to cling to her as she was. Tatsu listened to the ramblings while glancing over at her girlfriend every few seconds, who spoke with Lily, but making an effort to not sit with her or even be within arm's length of her.
Tatsu could not believe her blond bombshell had ever been with such a mousy, clingy tramp. She got pissed off as she watched Lily reach out to touch her girlfriend, who stepped out of range each time, but Lily would only close the distance. Tatsu began wringing her pool cue in her hands because of her anger. She really wanted to take that pool cue and beat Lily over the head with it for having the nerve to act like Trin was hers. And then she noticed Trin almost smile when Lily said something that struck her as humorous; she knew when her girl was close to smiling. Tatsu growled; her usual nonchalant demeanor was thrown to the wind.
"They're probably reliving sexual escapades," Shego remarked when she noticed Lily and Trin, who was on the verge of smiling while Lily was grinning up a storm.
Tatsu slammed down her pool stick, which caught Shego's and Kim's attention. They wondered what she was going to do from the way that she stared daggers at Lily and Trin. Tatsu seriously contemplated just cracking the brunette's skull open, but she doubted her girlfriend would approve of that, which was why she had put the weapon down. Usually, she would not care because Trin would not care if she hurt someone flirting with her girl, but Trin would definitely mind this one. Although she was not too happy with Trin either, it was not like she could beat Trin in a fight. The mechanic decided to just leave the bar before she hurt someone or did something stupid.
"Sis!" Kim called as Tatsu exited the bar.
Trin turned to Kim, who pointed to the door to direct her big sister's attention to the fleeing mechanic. Trin only caught a glimpse of her girl and it was not even enough for her to know right away that it was Tatsu. She turned her attention back to Kim and noticed Tatsu was not with the couple anymore. It then dawned on her that the person that left was undoubtedly her upset lover.
"Baby," Trin gasped and she ran off after Tatsu, unsure of what would happen when she caught her. She just knew she had to catch her baby and explain like she had never explained before.
The blond dashed off down the street to catch her lover, who she could just barely make out in the dark. She called out for Tatsu, who turned around at the sound of her name. The mechanic did not see anyone, though; the street was completely clear. She turned around and continued walking back toward the ranch, even though she knew it was quite the walk.
