Disclaimer: Umm, I don't really have much to say, so let's just dive right in.
Chapter 7: Found:
Bueno Nacho: Middleton:
Kim and Ron sat at their usual booth at Bueno Nacho. Ron was stuffing a naco in his mouth, while Rufus munched on a chimerrito. Kim was poking at salad, lost in thought.
"You okay, KP?"
Ron's voice was slightly muffled by, naco. Kim let out a sigh, shaking her head.
"I'm worried about Shego. It's been two days, and there hasn't been any sign of her. Even Wade hasn't been able to track her."
Kim set down her fork, and buried her face in her hands. Ron swallowed a mouthful of naco.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find her soon. Then again, maybe we shouldn't even bother. I mean what if we find her, and she decides to get revenge by ruining Christmas?"
"Grinch."
Rufus squeaked, biting into a chip. Kim glared at both of them.
"How can you guys be so insensitive? There has to be some logical explanation as to why she said she hates Christmas. Now if you don't wanna help look for her that's fine, but I'm not giving up."
Kim then got up and left. Leaving Ron and Rufus sitting with very puzzled expressions on their faces.
Possible Residence:
Kim lay in her bed, thinking over past events. It had been about a week since she was at Bueno Nacho with Ron and Rufus, and she still had no idea where Shego was.
"Maybe I should call Ron, and ask him to help me find Shego. Then again, he's made it quite clear how he feels about her."
Kim rubbed her eyes, and groaned in frustration. This whole sitch was becoming more and more complicated.
"Ugh, I just wish I had some clue as to where to look for her."
"Kim, dinner!"
Anne called, from downstairs. Kim headed downstairs, to join her family for dinner. When she got there, she noticed a lump on the couch in the living room, so she went over to see what it was. When she what it was, she nearly had a freak attack.
"What on earth is Shego doing on our couch?!"
"I found her in an alleyway about five miles from here. Poor thing looked like she walked all the way from Go city to there."
"Now come eat dinner, before it gets cold!"
James called out, from the kitchen. Kim snapped out of her shock, and headed into the kitchen. She couldn't believe it though, Shego, the woman she had searched high and low for, for the past week, was asleep in her living room. As Kim and her family tucked into their dinner, she began to ask some questions.
"How long has she been here for? Has She woken up at all?"
"She's been here for about an hour, I found her on my way home from work. And, she was awake while I was treating her injuries. She didn't say anything, just sort of stared at me, and here surroundings."
After her mom had mentioned injuries, Kim turned and looked at Shego. It was then she noticed a bandage wrapped around her head, and another one wrapped around her forearm. Anne explained that Shego appeared to have hit her head on something, and also that she was bit by what must've been a stray dog. Hence the bandages. Kim nodded her head, in understanding, and continued eating, glad that Shego was safe.
Middleton High:
Ron Stoppable was standing by his locker, waiting for Kim. She had called the night before, saying she wanted to talk, so he agreed to meet her by his locker. He had been standing there for about ten minutes, before Kim finally arrived.
"Listen Ron, I'm sorry about last week. I shouldn't have gone off on you like that I was just really worried about Shego."
"No sweat, KP, you were right, we shouldn't have been so insensitive. If you want, we'll help you go look for her after school."
Kim smiled at him.
"We don't need to go look for her, she's at my house."
Ron looked at her, in shock and confusion.
"She's at your house? But, but how?"
Ron closed his eyes and shook his head, desperately trying to wrap his brain around what he was just told.
"My mom found her in an alleyway about five miles from our house. So she brought her home, and treated her injuries. As of right now she's asleep in our guest room. It'll be a bit before she actually wakes up, she's been through quite an ordeal."
Ron couldn't believe his ears. Shego, the woman with the glowing green hands of death, was staying in the Possible house. And they all seemed fine with it. Now, he wanted to tell Kim how wrong it was for Shego to be there, but he felt like it was a bad idea, so instead he asked a question.
"Do Wade and Team Go know that Shego's been found?"
Kim was thankful that Ron didn't freak out at the mention of Shego staying with her.
"I haven't told them yet, I guess I was just so surprised to see her that I totally spaced it."
Just then, her kimmunicator beeped. Kim answered it, and saw Wade, on the other end.
"What's the sitch?"
"Hey, Kim, just wanted to see if you had any luck on your end with finding Shego."
"As a matter of fact, I have. My mom's actually the one who found her. I'll explain the details later, but until then can you arrange for a ride to take Ron and I to Go City?"
"Sure thing, it'll be there after school."
Kim thanked him before hanging up, and heading to class.
Go City:
Kim and Ron were in the meeting room of Go Tower, with Team Go.
"So, Kim, Ron, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
Hego asked.
"My mom found Shego."
Kim replied, beaming. Team Go couldn't believe it, Shego had been found.
"Where is she? Is she okay? When can we see her?"
The Wegoes spewed out their questions, left and right.
"Woah guys, ease up on the questions there, will ya?"
Ron's head was starting to spin. Kim just chuckled, amused at the youngest members of Team Go. It was clear that they had been missing their big sister.
"She's staying at my place, in our guest room. She was asleep last time I checked. She'll probably sleep for awhile as her body is healing itself. That being said, you guys should wait a few days before visiting, give her a chance to recuperate."
"Did she have any injuries?"
It was clear that Mego, was concerned for his little sister.
"She had a bump on her head, and she was bit by a stray dog on her forearm, but other than that she's fine."
Team Go sighed in relief, pleased that their sister was safe. Kim and Ron stayed and talked with Team Go for a bit, before heading back home.
Possible Residence:
Kim was back at home. Ron and Rufus had gone back home as well, to play Zombie Slayer 3000. Kim headed into the kitchen, and pulled a note off the fridge.
"Kim, there is some meatloaf and potatoes in the fridge. You're dad is down at the space center, helping prepare for the launch of a new prototype rocket, I had an emergency at the hospital, but should be home no later than 8:00, and your brothers are at a sleepover. Also, I would like for you to check on Shego, and change her bandages. If you have any questions, or need anything just give me a call."
After reading the note from her mom, Kim set it down on the table, and then pulled a plate wrapped in plastic out of the fridge. Once she heated her food up in the microwave she went upstairs to check on Shego.
Kim looked at Shego, asleep in the guest room.
"Okay, I'll just change her bandages, and then leave her be."
She wanted to get Shego taken care of as quickly as possible, as she didn't want to disrupt her sleeping. Kim started by removing the bandage from around Shego's head. The bump had gone down, and she didn't appear to have any other cranial injuries, so Kim just cleaned the area and applied some pain relieving gel, just in case. Then she removed the bandage from around her forearm. The wound was healing up nicely, and Shego looked as if she would have very little, to no scarring. As she was cleaning the wound, Kim noted how soft and smooth Shego's skin was.
"Wow, it's like porcelain."
Kim whispered, to herself. And at that moment, that's how she saw Shego, a fragile, porcelain doll, that she just wanted to hold and protect. Kim continued to watch Shego for a few more minutes before finishing up. With Shego taken care of, Kim headed downstairs to eat her dinner.
Kim was sitting on the couch in the living room. Having just finished dinner, she was reading a book. But her mind wasn't on the words in front of her, no her mind was on the woman upstairs.
"I just wish I knew how I could help, after all, no one should hate Christmas. She must've of gone through something pretty bad to hate a holiday that's all about joy and cheer."
She set down her book, her mind to distracted to focus on the printed words, and opted to watch a movie instead. As she got up to look through the collection of DVDs, she felt something tug at the back of her mind. It was telling her to go upstairs, to Shego's room. She tried to ignore it, but it got more and more persistent. Finally, unable to ignore the feeling, Kim headed upstairs.
Upstairs once again, Kim checked on Shego. She was right where Kim had left her, asleep in bed. So why did Kim get the feeling that she should go take a closer look? Kim walked closer to Shego, to get a better look. As she leaned in, to get any even better look, her hand brush against Shego's. It was then that she noticed just how cold her hand was. Kim instantly became worried. Shego was cold, and she wasn't suppose to be. Kim then went into mission mode. She really had no time to call anyone, if she wanted to get Shego to the hospital in time, so she decided to take the sloth. She quickly wrapped Shego in a blanket, and rushed downstairs with her in her arms. Once she was placed safely in the back of the car, Kim got in the driver's side, buckled up, and drove off. As Kim was weaving in and out of traffic, trying to get to the hospital as quickly and safely as possible, she glanced up at the rear view mirror.
"You just love to make me worry, don't you?"
End of chapter 7:
A/N: Uh-oh looks like Shego's taking another trip to the hospital. Will Shego make it, or will I be one of the cold, heartless writers that kills off a favorite character? Ya'll will just have to wait and see, next time on A Christmas to Remember. So until next time, this is PokémonSoulMaster93 signing out.
