Hey there everyone. Someone pm'd me to let me know the formatting on this chapter was super fucked. I have no clue how that went down but hopefully this is comprehensible now. Sorry about that.

The first time, it was purely for her job. Drakken asked her to follow Kim home and make sure she didn't catch onto his latest scheme before it was foolproof (which would be never, which Shego was very vocal about). She stuck around a while, sat through Kim's very boring cell phone conversation with her friend (problems in high school seemed so arbitrary now), sat through the silence of homework (punctuated only by the occasional groan), and stayed until Kim fell asleep. Then she left.

Only when she was back at their latest lair did it strike her that there was very little security at the Possible household. "Do you think other villains have tried fighting Kim at her house?" Shego asked.

"Are you kidding? You want to fight her on her own turf?" Drakken replied.

Shego shrugged. "She does it to us all the time. I was just curious."

Of course, if anyone was going to take Kim Possible down, it was going to be her. And if she was so vulnerable at her house…

The next night, Shego went to Kim's house once again. She waited on the roof above Kim's window. She wasn't going to fight her, where was the fun in that when she was completely unprepared? She kept an eye out for any henchmen. The hours passed uneventfully, she left around midnight, and returned to Drakken.

"Where were you?" he asked, annoyed. "You were supposed to steal that thingy!"

Shego dropped the 'thingy' (a large crystal nicked from the house of an old geologist for those keeping score) into his hands. "I did. I just did some other stuff first."

"What kind of stuff?"

"Why do you care?"

"Shego, we're a team!" Drakken whined. "We have to know what the other is doing if we want this partnership to work!"

"Uh huh."

"I'm serious, Shego."

"I can tell," she replied, grabbing a magazine and plopping onto her chair. "I just don't care. At all."

Drakken frowned. "I sign your paychecks, you know."

"I get you the money you pay me with," she retorted. He mumbled something unintelligible and wandered off with the crystal.

It continued in a cycle. Sleep in until noon. Wake up, deal with Drakken. Maybe fight someone while dealing with Drakken. Do whatever chore Drakken set out for her after she spent a few hours on top of Kim's roof. Drakken was right about something. Nobody wanted to attack Kim on her turf.

But it was fun. And she didn't mind the view, or the feeling she got from protecting Kim. She enjoyed feeling useful, even if there was very little to do. And, dare she even think it, she was getting attached to Kim. Maybe. But only a little.

The routine of it was comforting. Days turned into weeks. Drakken's huge plot that was so secret and important had . The lair was blown up. Drakken was in prison and she broke him out within two days. Could she have done it sooner? Yultimately blown up in his face because of one Kim Possible and one Ron Stoppablees. Did she enjoy the time without Drakken nagging her for her late nights out? Also yes.

About two and a half weeks into her sort of stalking gig, a sound from the bushes got her attention. She had been so used to, well, nothing, that she was startled. She leaned over the edge of the roof and looked down.

One of the bushes rustled. Her hand lit up green with plasma as a precaution. It rustled again.

"Rufus!" Oh joy, the buffoon. Shego leaned back and the plasma dissipated. Ron came running up to the house. He stopped, hunched over to catch his breath, and said again, "Rufus! Come on, buddy! You can't just run away from me like that!"

The naked mole rat peaked his head from out of the bushes. He glanced up at the roof again, and Shego ducked back. After a series of squeaks, Ron said, "There's nobody on the roof. Why would there be?" A frustrated squeak. "Okay, I'll tell KP, but there's nothing up there." Even though it was a few hours earlier than normal, Shego decided to bail.

The next day, she waited on the roof. And when she turned around, she noticed that Kim had joined her.
