Author's notes: So about halfway through this story, we find Kim Possible at the aid of the unlikely Shego, where does this go from here?
Chapter 7:
As Shego stood before her, Kim didn't really know what to think of all this. So, using instincts, she curled her hands into fists and got into a fighting stance, but strangely enough, Shego's fists didn't glow. "Relax pumpkin, I'm not here to fight you." Shego said with concern in her voice.
Kim was shocked at Shego's tone of voice. It wasn't angry or insulting like most of the times they spared. It was a general tone. Something nice. Something that Kim hasn't heard since Shego got turned back to evil with the Attitudinator. Kim then let her fists down and frowned. "Well, I'm not in the mood to fight either." Kim said while Ron looks on, surprised that his girlfriend and her arch foe aren't fighting each other. "I'm not really in the mood to do anything actually. In case you haven't noticed..."
"I saw it all on TV." Shego said, cutting Kim off.
"So, let me guess. Drakken sent you here to recruit me for some big evil plan then." Kim said, thinking that was what Shego was there to do.
"No. He actually doesn't know I'm here, and I would like to keep it that way." Shego said, still having that concerned tone of voice.
"Please leave me alone Shego." Kim whispered as she turned away, almost ready to cry.
"What? You don't want my help?" Shego asked.
"You? Help me? Why in the world would you want to do that?" Kim asked with incredulity. Shego took a deep breath before explaining.
"Because I believe you too." Shego said, shocking Kim. "There was no way you could have done all those things. You are just too good, sweet, and caring to just go rogue. And whoever is doing this is trying to ruin you. I want to help you stop them. I want to help you clear your name."
Kim and Ron just looked at each other, not sure what to make of this. Shego? Helping Kim clear her name? This wouldn't happen in a million years. "What do you want?" Kim asked, thinking that Shego wanted something for her services in return.
"Nothing. I just want to help you." Shego replied.
"Wait a minute? You come to Kim with the promise to clear her name, and you don't want any money, jewels, or even a Porsche in return?" Ron asked with incredulity.
"Shego Evil!" Rufus squeaked as he emerged from Ron's pocket onto Ron's shoulder to wave his little fist at Shego.
Shego just growled, losing her patience.
"Can't you tell when someone actually, sincerely wants to help?!" Shego asked, before she noticed her fists are glowing. Immediately, she calmed herself down. "Sorry. Look, I know we have our big fights and all that. I don't blame you for not believing me either. If you don't want my help, I'll go away right now."
Kim just looked at her arch foe, deep in thought. Kim couldn't believe what she heard. This had to be a dream or something. When Shego just sighed and turned towards the door, Kim finally spoke up. "You really think you can find out what's really happening?" Shego then turned back and nodded. "Alright. Since you actually seem to care for me, and are not asking for some pardon or gift, you can help us." Shego actually smiled, trying to fight the urge to hug Kim.
"Thanks Kimmie." Shego said in tone of gratitude, while still smiling
"Wait, hold the phone!" Ron said, not ready to believe Shego. At least not yet. "You have tried to kill my girlfriend and me multiple times over the past four years, and now that she's been accused of being a criminal, you actually want to help her clear her name?"
"uh huh!" Rufus nodded in agreement to his owner.
"Stoppable, I have never tried to kill you or Kimmie, have ever noticed in all of the traps, there was always a way out for the both of you." Shego said trying convince Ron, who just stood there in silence shaking his head not buying any of what the villain had to say.
"Ron, please. I know what this might seem like, but you got to give Shego a chance." Kim said, trying to convince her boyfriend otherwise. When Ron remained firm, Kim pulled out her Puppy Dog Pout.
"OK! Deal!" Ron said, caving in. "So, where do we start?"
"We start, by getting your little nerd linger friend over here to help us find some evidence." Shego said, meaning Wade.
"Well, that's gonna be a problem. I've left the Kimmunicator at my house." Kim said.
"And Wade's probably not in the mood to help since KP...uh...I mean the person who is impersonating Kim cut him off during that incident in school a two days ago." Ron said, catching Kim's glare.
Shego sighed. "OK. Looks like we'll have to do this ourselves then. Luckily, I know someone in the security business." Shego said, with small grin on her face.
Ron suddenly felt a huge pain in his stomach and quickly made a quick dash to the bathroom, not saying a word to Kim and Shego, then quickly shut the door and began throwing up, leaving Kim and Shego to give an awkward laugh to one and another.
"What's caused Ron, to need a dash that quick to the bathroom?" Kim asked looking to Shego with a small smile.
"Well let's just say, the way I was driving earlier on, did kind of make him look like he was ready to let some lose, guess I should carry some sick bags in the future if he is ever to get in a car with me at the wheel again." Shego said returning a small chuckle to Kim, while scratching her head.
"Yeah Ron was never really one for fast rides, he wouldn't go around Indianapolis in anything that was more powerful than a scooter." Kim then made her way to the fridge and opened it offering Shego a choice of two energy drinks.
"Red Bull or Monster?" Kim offered Shego, with both drinks in her hands.
"What do you think?" Shego said pointing to everything that is green on her.
"Did I really think it would be anything else?" Kim said as she passed Shego the can of Monster energy, while she undid the pop tab of the Red Bull then sat down on the coach, offering Shego to join her.
"Hey whats this?" Shego asked sitting down and picking up Kim's favourite cuddle buddy.
Kim sightly embarrassed, quickly took the soft toy off Shego, but quickly gave in realising it was already too late.
"Its, its my Cuddle Buddy Pandaroo." Kim said blushing, as she wasn't excepting Shego of all people to be taking interest in one her soft toys. "Iv'e had him for as long as I can remember, I can't go to sleep without him.", Kim explained but struggled on the last bit, not knowing how Shego would react.
"Aw!" Shego cooed to the redhead, but Kim took it as teasing.
"I know its pathetic, a 17 nearly 18 yr old not being to go sleep without a silly cuddly toy." Kim said weakly, as Shego took a good look at the Cuddle Buddie again.
"No its not Pumpkin, I'm 26 and I still have a cuddly Miffy bunny by side, when I go to sleep!" Shego said nudging Kim to cheer her up a bit." but lets keep that as our little secret!" Shego warned in a teasing way.
Kim then turned her attention back to the bathroom.
"I wonder if Ron is going to be any longer?" Kim said as she starred at the direction that Ron made his quick dash to the bathroom.
Shego was about to respond but stopped mid sentence, as she felt something tickling her green jacket
"That depends on how.. Hey I can feel something crawling on me!?"
The thing that appeared to be causing Shego, some small irritation, was none other then Rufus, sniffing the Villain's green jacket, to see if he could find anything interesting in its pockets.
"Rufus!" Kim said in tone like you would telling off an animal for sniffing other people's clothes without asking. "Did Ron ever tell you, never to sniff a woman's clothes without manners?" Kim said with her left eye brow raised.
Rufus looked at Shego, then back to Kim.
"Shego nice!" Rufus squeaked as he carried on sniffing Shego's coat, causing Shego to growl at the mole rat a little .
Back at the Possible residence, Jim and Tim were still scolding their own parents for just thinking that Kim went rogue without good evidence. "How could you even think that Kim would suddenly go bad?" Jim asked.
"Even we know our own sister better than you two." Tim said, sternly.
Anne Possible broke down upon hearing what her two sons had just said about her not knowing as much as they did about Kim.
"How could I not believe my own baby!? What kind of mother am I!?" James Possible pulled his wife into a loving hug and then turned to his twin sons.
"Well, if Kimmie Cub didn't do those things, then who did?" James asked, still comforting his beloved wife. Jim and Tim smiled at that.
"That's what we'll have to find out ourselves." Jim said.
"With our bubble pipes and smarts about us, the famous male trench coat twins will be able solve this case and exonerate our sister. Come on brother!" Tim said.
"Plus our Sherlock fandom and skills, will play a part!" the twins said together as they held a picture of Benedict Cumberbatch's singed picture of Sherlock
"Hicka Bicka Boo." Both twins said in unison as they headed outside, ready to help Kim clear her name.
Meanwhile, at the TMZ studio in Los Angeles, California, Harvey was saying goodbye to his fellow reporters for the day, all of them excited at finally being invited to the VMAs in New York City. "OK guys, see ya later! Get some rest! Two days from now, we're gonna be kings of the press!" Harvey said with a smile, earning some laughs from the reporters as they left. Harvey's cell phone rang and he answered it.
"Hello dear." Harvey said as he answered his find, to find it was none other then his wife calling him about the cheese statue for the VMAs.
"Smashing! You have finished it. Great, I will come home now to have a look at it, love you dear." Harvey then switched of his cell and made his exit from the TMZ studio.
Back at the Doomsday cabin, Shego was getting more and more agitated, with the mole rat, sniffing around her coat and trying to be friendly with her.
"Ugh! Get off me, you gross little pink weasel!" Shego said flapping her arms about, trying to get the mole rat off her favourite jacket, while putting her drink aside.
Rufus frowned at Shego for being referred to by such an animal.
"Shego, be nice, Rufus is just trying to be friendly with you, I think he can smell some cheese on your jacket." Kim said with a teasing smile as she took another sip from her drink.
Shego shrugged at the comment about her jacket smelling of cheese.
"Well its really not a surprise that it smells of Wisconsin cheese, since I was half buried in that stuff after Dr D's stupid Drakkenville plot! I could never really get the smell to go away, but I like this Jacket, because it reminds me of why you are a fashion don't." Shego said returning the tease to Kim.
Shego then turned her attention to the naked mole rat.
"Sorry little guy, but you won't find anything in here other than nail files and varnish." Shego informed whilst holding her hands out to the naked the creature as a gesture of sorry.
"Ahhh!" Rufus said disappointed that there wasn't any treats hiding in Shego's jacket, Shego responded by stroking him the on head and under the chin, with encouragement from Kim.
"HEE,HEE!" the mole rat squeaked and chuckled, as he was enjoying the presence of the raven haired woman's hand under his chin. Shego replied with a playful grin and started tickling Rufus on his belly with her gloved hands.
"Oh who is a good little mole rat!?" Shego said playfully while Rufus kept on tossing and turning as the villain kept on tickling him harder.
"Aw!" Kim said while hiding a small smirk, making sure that Shego didn't see it.
"Don't tell Stoppable this Kimmie, but the more you stroke this little guy, the less disgusting he appears!" Shego said somewhat amazed at how fun the mole rat can be, then began tickling Rufus on his small belly, causing the little creature to squeak and chuckle happily.
Kim just smiled knowing that Shego and Rufus could have a special bond and connection, pity though they probably won't interact like this next time they meet .
"Yeah he is really nice when you get to know how fun and sweat he can be." Kim said satisfied that Shego and Rufus were starting to get along just fine.
Ron finally came out of the bathroom, feeling more relieved. "OK. I feel better now. Let's go clear KP's name." Ron said with a smile.
"Uh, in that case we might wanna stop at 7-11 on the way just in case you..." Shego teased before she and Kim giggled, which made Ron frown.
"Hey, its not my fault you drive like Sebastian Vettel! Now are we going or what?" Ron said crossing his arms to his hips, while Rufus jumped on his shoulder and into his pocket, while Kim packed her backpack with some snacks.
"OK. Let's go." With that, Shego, Kim, and Ron made their way outside and hopped into Shego's Audi R8 V10. The green skinned villainess then gunned the engine and headed down the dirt road, with Ron sitting on Kim's lap, due to lack of seats, the gang of 3 headed off in their first phase to clear Kim's name.
Over in LA, Harvey was at his house helping some handymen load the cheese statue of the MTV logo into the catering van. "Now seriously! Be careful with that. My wife made that from scratch with cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, and pepper jack." Harvey said, explaining what was in the cheese statue. "And make sure it's refrigerated and cool by this Sunday."
The men nodded as they hopped inside the van and drove off. "Camille, we got it." the driver said as he approached a helicopter. The copter then lifted the truck off the ground and flew towards Middleton.
Back at the Middleton Hilton, right next to Camille Leon's room, two men were messing around with wires, trying to make sure everything was properly connected. "Be careful with that!" One technician warned. "One spark and the whole building goes into flames."
"How's it coming boys?" Camille asked, peeking her headed through the door.
"We're halfway there." The other technician said. With that, Camille went back into her room, confident that the final stage in her plan will succeed in ruining Kim Possible's life forever.
Meanwhile, at the NSA office of Denver, Kim, Shego, and Ron stood in a control room, with Kim being nervous that someone will spot her and turn her into Global Justice. "Are you sure about this?" Kim asked, unsure.
"Relax princess. The NSA is one of the few government agencies that doesn't support Global Justice." Shego said as her friend pulled security video logs from Middleton High.
"There you go. Middleton High School, two days ago. Good luck." Shego's friend said as he left the room.
"Bye bye sweetie!" Shego said as she blew a kiss to her friend, causing Kim and Ron to wonder if there was more to Shego's NSA friend, then she had already told.
"Alright, you said the last thing you remember was being knocked out in the girls room, right?" Shego asked with her attention turning back to Kim.
"Yeah. And there was this gas. I think it was knock out gas." Kim replied.
"Alright. Let's pull up the girls room cameras." Shego said, showing when Kim was in the bathroom. Then, a figure wearing a hoodie matching the one Kim was wearing that day entered and sprayed the knock out gas into Kim's stall. After Kim was unconscious, the figure dragged her away, revealing her face. "Right there!" Shego said, freezing the video to reveal the figure to Kim.
Kim gasped as she felt immense anger, finally knowing who ruined her reputation. "Camille Leon!" Kim hissed.
