"Are you sure we should trust her?" her dad asked moments after Shego walked out of the door.

"For now we can," Kim replied. "She wasn't lying when she said this benefits both of us. I don't have to worry about passing out on the lawn, and she doesn't have to worry about a villain showing up her and Drakken."

"I'm not sure I trust her, Kimmie cub," her mom said. "Even if she is protecting you."

"It's alright, Mom. I deal with Shego all the time."

School had been the same as always. Go to class. Help Ron with projects or scold him for putting them off. There were no calls in the middle of the day, which was convenient. She entered cheer with caution and came out reassured. Monique's theory was still a no-go.

Of course, she couldn't brag about this. That'd make it look like she was still thinking about it.

Speaking of Monique, she had approached her on the matter. "Find out why Shego was after you yet?"

"Yeah. Boils down to her wanting to kill me one day."

Monique winced. "You should watch out for her, girl."

"At the moment, she's helping me out."

"With what?"

"Another stalker who might want to kill me."

Monique stared. "You really need to work on some sort of secret identity before someone murders you in your home. I really don't know why you publicize your crime fighting lifestyle."

"It got publicized for me," Kim defended.

"Mhm." After a few moments, Monique said, "I really do think she likes you."

Kim only rolled her eyes.

Ron took the news as well as she had expected. "Shego's on our side?!" Rufus gave a squeak that indicated the same shock.

"Kind of? We'll probably still be fighting her and Drakken, but we don't have to worry if Shego's over at my place." Ron's jaw was open in a cartoonish manner and showed no signs of closing. "What?"

"This is Shego, Kim!" Ron shouted. "Plasma shooting, super dangerous Shego!"

"And this is about possibly coming to an understanding with one of our most violent opponents. Look, I understand why you're worried," she said when she noticed his concerned look. "But I need you to trust me on this. I really think she might be changing."

"What, like, she might become our friend?" Ron asked. Kim nodded. "Alright. Well, if you can trust her, I guess I can." Kim hugged him.

It was a calm day. No action of any sort. One of the rare days she could relax.

She was waiting in her room when Shego arrived. She was silent as she walked up to the roof, and beckoned Kim to follow. When they were on the roof and away from anyone who might listen (though Ron has wanted to meet up with Shego and judge her for himself, Kim had insisted that this wasn't the wisest option, as Shego wasn't exactly fond of Ron), Shego said, "The part I stole yesterday. It was a fake."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Oh." She sounded more spiteful than usual. "I need to know what Jonas wants to do with it."

"I wouldn't know. I was just security," Kim replied honestly.

"It's a bit suspicious, don't you think?"

"Well, what was Drakken planning?"

"How much attention do you think I pay to him?" Shego asked. "Look, if I find out, will you please try to find out what Jonas is up to?"

Kim looked at her skeptically. "You want to make another agreement already? Didn't know you trusted me this much." Shego glared. "It's no big. I'll see what I can do. Shake on it?"

She stuck out her hand in what she hoped was a friendly gesture. Shego stared at it before reaching out and shaking it. She half expected to be thrown off the roof, just from their usual dynamic, but Shego shook her hand and let go.

"You'll be the first to know what Drakken's planning."

"And you'll be the first to know what Jonas is planning." She hoped she could trust Shego to not ensnare her in some criminal plot. Like it or not, Kim was starting to enjoy the company.
