What the Other Doesn't Know

Prompt: What if Shego had remained a cat?

The Cat's out of the bag

"Ron, can we please keep her?" Kim begged, fluttering her eyes at her best friend.

"I don't know Kim..." Ron rubbed the back of his neck. "She's a villain. I don't trust her in the house."

"Please oh please?" Kim continued to bat her eyes, all of it gradually wearing down on Ron's resolve. "She has nowhere to go now that Drakken fired her. We can't just leave her on the streets! That would be cruel. We're heroes, we don't do stuff like that. We help people, and we need to keep her safe and warm until Wade can come up with a solution to turning her back."

Ron winced at this. He wouldn't feel right leaving Shego homeless now that she was trapped with the mindset of a cat. But he also didn't feel alright with the idea of Kim taking her home as a pet. "But she's a lot of work KP. And I don't think either of our parents would be cool with keeping a full sized human in the house..."

Ron's words trailed off as Kim hoisted Shego up in her arms. The green skinned villain had her arms and legs curled up like baby kittens do and she was mrrowing quietly. Upon being held up high, she gave a louder meow and looked Ron in the face with her big innocent eyes. There was no way he could say no to that. "Fine. You can keep her. But I am not going to feed her, or groom her."

"Thanks Ron!" Kim exclaimed. "Having a pet is going to be so much fun!" Then she ran off home, to get a bed ready for her new pet. It was only when she was halfway there that she realized Ron had been right about one thing: How was she going to explain to her parents the sudden new pet?

There was only one answer to that solution. And that was to keep Shego hidden until Wade could come up with a way to reverse the effects of the spell.


Kim should have foreseen that she wouldn't be able to keep Shego a secret for long, especially because she lived with the dweebs. And those two boys were curious-er than was healthy. They quickly caught onto the fact Kim had a secret and it was all the redhead could do to keep Shego from being discovered. But alas at the end of the week, the dweebs finally got past all her efforts.

"Kimberly Ann Possible, what is this?" Her mom had huffed at her, in shock and dismay as she watched Shego crawl on all fours and rub her face against Kim's ankle, purring loudly. "Isn't that your arch nemesis? What is she doing in our house, in our closet, acting like a cat?"Ms. Possible's voice got higher and higher in pitch on each emphasized word.

"Mom, I-" Kim could feel cold sweat drip down her back, as her brain began to short circuit in panic. Off to her left she was aware of the laughter of her brothers, but their voices sounded distant right now, overpowered by the loudness of her parents tones.

"Is this what you do in your 'spy' time? Is this what you mean when you say you go on missions? Engage in cat role play with enemies?! I will not tolerant this under my roof!" Her dad yelled sternly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Do you have an animal fetish?" Her mom added in a soft whisper of horror, and at this Kim buried her face in her hands, feeling overwhelmed with embarrassment. She should have listened to Ron.
