What the Other Doesn't Know
A Kigo Kristmas
Part One of Four
A Ho-ho-ho-rrible Plan
"Shego! I have another evil plan!" Drakken called out excitedly as he approached his green skinned sidekick where she sat in a chair, filing her nails.
"Oh, yay," she said without any enthusiasm, barely paying him any mind.
"You know, you could at least pretend you're interested," Drakken said grouchily, hands on his hips. "I spent a lot of time thinking this one over."
"And let me guess, this time it's going to work," Shego rolled her eyes, not even picking up her gaze to look at her boss, more invested in getting each nail perfectly sharp then his vapid words.
"My plans would always work, if it weren't for that infuriating Kim Possible and her side kick!" Drakken growled. "I swear one of these days I will finally best her and-" Shego tuned the rest out as her boss vented for a full twenty minutes about the teenage redhead and her penchant for destroying his plans. "And so that's why you're going to wear an elf costume."
"Hold on, back up," Shego said as that last bit caught her attention and now she wished she had been sort of paying attention. "What did you just say?"
"I said you're wearing an elf costume."
"And why am I wearing an elf costume?" Shego looked up at her boss, pocketing her nail filer. She had a bad feeling about this plan of his- anything involving her dressing up in a costume usually did not go right. Like that awkward experience during that Halloween party. She tried really hard not to think about it.
"Because we're going to steal Christmas!" Drakken exclaimed, lifting his hands over his head and laughing maniacally. He was waiting for Shego to join in, but she didn't.
"And how would we even accomplish that? Christmas is a holiday. You can't rob a non-tangential object." She shot him an odd look to accompany her scalding tone of voice. He wasn't discouraged.
"Don't be ridiculous. It's been done before. They even play it on the TV's every year round because it had scarred the populace so badly that they watch the program as a constant reminder to how terrible it was to have no presents, or no trees, or no roasted ham on Christmas day."
"On TV?" Shego echoed. "What are you talking about? Nobodies ever stolen Christmas before."
"Ah, how uneducated you are, Shego," Drakken sighed out of pity, crossing his hands behind his back. "I suppose not all great villains like myself are unafraid to watch the Grinch's great work."
It took a moment for the absurdity of the statement to hit Shego and when it did, she could not help the loud guff that came out of her mouth. "You-you think the Grinch is real?"
Drakken arched a brow at her in confusion as he watched her snickering at him, hand over her mouth. "Of course he is real. Why else would there be a documentary on him each Christmas season, following his schemes to destroy the holiday season and his eventual success in doing so?"
"So you think the Grinch actually stole Christmas?"
"Yes!" Drakken stomped his foot childishly. Her light manner on this topic was frustrating him. She lacked respect for the evil works of the Grinch and himself!
"Then what about when he returns it all back to the people?"
"A fabricated ending to hide the true horrors of what actually happened. The people who made the movie wanted to give others hope, to fool them into thinking the Grinch had been defeated and that Christmas had been restored."
Shego could not stop laughing. This was too funny. Her hand could no longer hide her chuckles so she stopped attempting to hide them, letting them loose.
"Shego, stop laughing! I order you too!" Drakken shrieked out, not understanding why she was so amused.
This only made her laugh harder, doubling over as her laughs shook her body.
She eventually calmed down, drawing in deep breaths of air. Drakken was standing in front of her, arms crossed over his chest and tapping his foot impatiently.
"Are you done yet?"
"Yes. But why don't you continue telling me about your grand schemes?" Shego said, knowing she was going to get a kick out of whatever he said next.
Drakken cleared his throat, not expecting Shego's interest in his plans. She was never interested. "Yes, so we are going to go and steal Christmas from all around the globe. Little boys and girls will be left present-less!"
"And how are we going to do all that? That would take us years to do." This was said more for decorum than actual care. Shego just wanted to hear Drakken's foolish explanations.
"No it wouldn't; in fact we could do it under 24 hours. Just like Santa does it all in one night."
This sent Shego back into another fit of laughter. Drakken merely frowned as he watched her roll around on the ground, muttering out something about how 'he believes Santa is real!'
"Well of course he is," Drakken mumbled under his breath. "Otherwise explain to me how come I never get presents. Clearly, because I'm too evil and on his naughty list." A pause as Shego began to chortle out 'that's cause no one likes you or wants to get you presents' which he ignored since she was most certainly in the wrong. Only Santa gave out presents. "And we see him in the department store all the time," He added. Then he crossed his arms once more so he could wait to continue explaining to Shego his evil plans.
And surprisingly once he had told her them (after several more rounds of her infuriating laughter) she agreed to do the plan. Agreed to even wearing the elf costume, a skintight but green costume that saw her wearing a headband with little elf ears sticking out.
"Come on doc," she said cheerily as they walked over to a specially designed sleigh for this mission. It operated on rocket jets and had a huge hose from which it would suck up the presents and deposit them in the sack on the back of the sleigh. Shego sat behind the steering wheel, Drakken next to her in a Santa costume, the beard loose on his blue face.
"It's time we ruined Christmas."
Oh boy, was she going to get a kick out of this mission.
And with that they were off.
A Kigo Kristmas
Part two of Four
Did you Know Mistletoe is Actually Poisonous?
Kim loved the holiday season of Christmas. There was a sort of magic to the air at the time, like anything was possible. And for a Possible like her, that meant endless opportunities would present themselves. And in fact they already had. She had secured good grades on her finals before winter break. She had perfected that double back flip triple high kick with an ending twirl, for her cheerleading show at the latest sports game. And she had even gotten a possible internship for the upcoming summer that would be paid.
So yes, it was a wonderful time of year for Kim. It was a time to kick back and relax. A time to cook food with her family and listen to Christmas carols. A time to spend time with them. And a time to go out and have fun in the snow like a regular teenage girl. And Kim loved the snow. It was so pretty, especially when big fat flakes would fall down and she could catch them on her tongue. And if she wasn't busy admiring the snow, then she was busy lobbing it at Ron's head in a deathly game of snowball fight. She'd always win, not that Ron didn't try his hardest to put up a good fight. He was getting better recently. He'd managed to hit her with a snowball once and evade coming back looking like he'd been through an avalanche, a serious improvement from Kim slaughtering him outright.
It hadn't snowed this year so far which bothered Kim slightly. Christmas just wasn't the same without some snow covering the ground but she held hope that maybe it would arrive soon. Then she and Ron could engage in snow related battle.
"Do you know when it's going to snow, Ron?" She hopefully asked her best friend, the blonde haired boy shrugging. He was really on top of his weather forecast, avoiding going out at all even if there was the lightest hint of snow. Kim would then be forced to drag him out of the house kicking and screaming so that they could play her games.
"I don't know," Ron said absently, sort of hoping it wouldn't ever, so that this year he didn't have to spend the holidays with a bruised eye courtesy of Kim's lobbed snowball. So far the skies were clear. "But hey, do you think I should get this for Rufus?" He changed topics, picking up a little tiny scarf and showing it to Kim. Right now the two of them were holiday shopping for friends and family.
Kim had already bought Monique some designer lipsticks, Wade a new video game, and Ron a gift card to Bueno Nacho. She'd also gotten her family gifts, she was just helping Ron out with his. "I think that would be a great idea. Since Rufus gets so cold easily." Being a naked mole rat was not easy in this frigid weather and the poor creature was at Ron's home right now, getting over a cold.
"Alright, I'm going to get it then." Ron nodded his head and went over to the cash register to pay for it.
Kim went over to a nearby Starbucks booth to get some peppermint latte's for the two of them while Ron waited on the long line. The drinks came quickly and Kim inhaled the wonderful scent, her eyes closing momentarily. Another thing she loved about the season was the scent of peppermint. It was everywhere and she would miss it dearly when the season was over. But she always could look towards to it next year.
One thing she didn't like about the holiday season, however, was the mistletoe. It hadn't bothered her so much before, but it did now, and it all was Ron's fault. Whenever they would pass by a hanging clump, he would point to it and spout out some random information about the plant and the tradition linked to it. Kim had been initially confused about why the boy was doing this, until she recalled what the purpose of mistletoe hung up in the first place was. It was for lovers to kiss under.
Was Ron trying to hint at a kiss between the two of them? Did he want one? But why? Why would he want to kiss Kim? They had been friends for so many years and now he was hinting at something like this? What had brought it on? Was it because of how Kim kissed him a couple of days ago? But she hadn't meant it as a kiss, hadn't ever even entertained the notion of kissing her friend before. All she had wanted to do was check her mouth to mouth skills.
Crap. This was so the drama. She didn't want him to get any ideas, and she most certainly didn't want to mislead him. That was why she had to put an end to his ideas and she had an inkling as to how.
Ron finally finished paying for his gift and walked over to Kim who held out the peppermint drink to him. And it just so happened that she had waited for him under some mistletoe purposely. Predictably, Ron was opening up his mouth to speak when Kim beat him to it.
"Did you know mistletoe is poisonous?"
Ron made a small noise. "Really?"
Kim nodded her head sagely. "Yes, that's why it's really unsafe as to how they keep hanging it around the mall where people could come into contact with it."
Ron frowned, thinking hard. "That's highly unromantic," he concluded at last, taking a sip of his drink.
"I agree. Let's keep it that way," Kim smiled and then led the way to another store. Feeling safe now that Ron wasn't trying desperately to initiate a kiss between the two, she could once more readily enjoy the holiday season.
A/N: So Kim can tell when Ron wants to kiss her, but can't tell whats going on between her and Shego. *sigh
Anyways, the second half to this should be coming up soon.
