Doctor Drakken has been taken care of... there are a few more things that must be handled before life can
return to normal...
Chapter 8: Tying up loose ends...
"Are we gonna be stuck in one another's bodies forever?" Shego asks.
"I doubt it." A voice says from the doorway. They turn and face the intruder, bringing their weapons to bear on the
suave older man who is dressed in a red smoking jacket and holding a cane in his left hand. "Forgive my intrusion,
Miss Possible, but I felt that I should approach you as things have become rather... odd... in the villainy world."
"That's an understatement." Shego says dryly.
"Indeed it is, Shego." He says coolly. "Now if you would please lower your weapons, I have something to discuss
with these two young women."
"If you think you're gonna hurt my granddaughters, you've got another thing coming." Nana Possible says.
"While that would be my normal goal in my actions, with the extraordinary circumstances being what they are, I have no intentions of hurting either of them." He says.
"Then what are you doing here, Señor Senior?" Kim asks.
"I have come to make an offer to you." He says.
"And that is?" Kim asks.
"I will give you the schematics and specifications for the weapon used on you and Miss Go and in exchange you
strike a bargain with Doctor Betty Director for an exclusion for myself and my son, Junior." Señor Senior Sr. says.
"An exclusion?" Kim asks, confused.
"Soon you will be contacted by Dr. Director about Doctor Drakken's actions and your actions and she will make an
offer to you. Work with Global Justice and bring down the major villains once and for all or you and Miss Go will
go to jail for a very long time... and I would hazard to say that your grandfather will suffer a similar fate for his hand
in the execution of Doctor Drakken." He says calmly while Nana seethes.
"And so you want me to bargain to get you a pass since you're helping get us back in our own bodies?" Kim asks.
"Yes." He says. "The villainy business has grown tiring for both myself, and Junior. We are currently seeking out
other venues of entertainment."
"And you expect us to trust you?" Nana asks.
"His word is good." Kim says. "If he says he'll come through, then he'll come through. You're on, Señor Senior."
"Thank you, Kimberly." He says. "I will send the information to Mister Load to begin the process of building the
ray once more."
"Thank you, Señor Senior." Kim says.
"You are welcome, Kimberly." He says. "It has been a pleasure facing off with you. Now if you will excuse me, I
must take my leave."
He bows slightly, then turns and walks out the door.
"I can't believe you just made a deal with a villain!" Joss exclaims.
"Believe it, Joss." Shego says. "Sometimes you've got to deal with the devil to get things done. Speaking of which,
we're gonna have to deal with GJ as well in a little bit."
"How do you know that what he said was true?" Joss asks.
"An organization as large as GJ is bound to be infiltrated by moles. What more, if he did not stand to gain
something—immunity in this case—then he would not deal with us." Shego explains. "That's what villainy is really
about. Getting what you want by whatever means necessary, including dealing with your enemies."
"I never thought of it like that..." Joss says.
"That's because you've never had a villain to sit and talk with." Shego says. "If you want, I'll give you the villain's
perspective to show you what heroism is really about."
"And what do you think that it is?" Nana Possible asks.
"It's about keeping people—villains included—safe from their own darker machinations," Shego says, "and
maintaining the status quo."
Nana hums softly while ruminating on this.
"I would have to agree with your assessment." A woman's voice says from the front door.
"Doesn't anybody knock anymore?!" Nana demands while turning to face the newest intruder.
"Forgive my intrusion, Gwendolyn." Doctor Director says, gazing at the Possible matriarch with her one onyx eye.
"I have some things which I must discuss with Kimberly and Shego which have caused for a breach of standard
operating procedures."
"Humph." Nana grunts, nonplused.
"Very well... Kimberly, I understand that you and Shego have teamed up against Doctor Drakken?" Doctor Director
asks.
"Not exactly," Shego says. "We were more attacked by Doctor Drakken and were forced to work together."
"And why would he make a move against you two? And why would you be in the same proximity in the first place?
There seem to be quite a few things incongruous about this whole situation." Doctor Betty Director says. "That is,
unless, you two had a secret which you wanted to share with me..."
"I'll make a deal with you." Shego says. "We'll share our secret with you if you promise to give Shego a full
pardon."
"A full pardon, you say? That must be quite the secret." Betty says. "Why don't you share with me and I will decide
whether or not your secret is worth this pardon..."
"Nice try, Betty." Kim says. "No good."
"It was worth an attempt." Betty says. "You will receive a full pardon for your involvement with this situation
involving Doctor Drakken in exchange for the information you have."
"No." Kim says. "Kimmie said a full pardon and that is what I want. I want a full pardon for all criminal activities.
In fact, I'll even let you put in a clause in the contract stating if I am convicted of any crime which I was pardoned
of that I will serve not only the term for the crime currently committed, but those pardoned as well."
"So you're saying you're getting out of the villainy business, then." Betty says. "That's quite the tidbit of
information, and a strong hint as to what your ace-in-the-hole is. I will give you your full pardon with the clause as
you have set forth. Now, what is the information you have?"
"I'm not Shego." Kim says. "She is..."
Betty stares at the two women, her eye wide with shock.
"Wait... she's Shego?" Betty finally asks.
"Yep," Shego says. "And she's Kim Possible. Doctor Dee hit us with this ray and then came after us to finish us
off."
"Why would he... you were getting out of the business already!" Betty exclaims. "You were giving up villainy and
going straight and he wanted to keep you from doing that!"
Shego bites back a giggle while several others groan as they realize what is making her laugh.
"What's so funny?" Betty asks.
"I wouldn't exactly say I'm going 'straight.'" Shego says. "Now I know you've got your stooge, Agent Will Du,
waiting in the wings. Bring him out and get me my pardon and I'll lay down the story for you from start to finish."
"Will!" Betty calls and he walks into the room carrying a small satchel. "Make things happen."
"Yes, Doctor Director." He says. They watch as he sits down on the floor and opens the satchel, pulling out a laptop
computer and an odd looking box-like device which he sets next to himself. He then begins typing, and ten minutes
later presses a key on his laptop and they watch as the box spits out dozens of pages of paperwork. As it finishes, he
takes the paperwork and slips the printer and laptop into the satchel once more before standing and handing the
papers to Betty who reads them over and signs them.
"Here." Betty says, handing the paperwork to Shego.
Shego reads through the document carefully, and then signs at the bottom before handing the papers back to Doctor Director.
"First things first, I'm gay." Shego says and Betty hikes her eyebrow. "That's something that needs to be said before
anything else. Now, here's what happened..."
TEN MINUTES LATER...
"So here we are." Shego says.
"Wow..." Betty says. "I've got to say I'm thoroughly impressed with how much trouble you've managed to get into
while staying under the GJ radar."
"It's not that hard." Kim says casually. Betty just shoots her a level glare. "It wasn't hard. Do you want me to lie and
say it was?"
"I'd rather you not say that it was easy to avoid our detection." She says and Kim shrugs casually.
"So now you know our secret." Shego says. "Do you think that it was worth the pardon to know?"
"Yes." Betty says. "Now where do you think you are going to go from here?"
"That's another thing..." Kim says. "We need to strike a second bargain."
"And what might that be?" Betty asks.
"Full pardons for Elias Possible, James McCormick, Levi Katz, Señor Senior Sr. and Señor Senior Jr. of all crimes
they have committed until the present with the same clause as before, isolating each from the others." Kim says.
"That way one can't get the others in trouble by acting up."
"And what are you going to offer in collateral?" Betty asks.
"We take down the rest of the villains for good." Kim says. "We bring them in and you guys lock them up in a nice,
neat little cage and use them as you see fit. Just don't let us hear from them after we take them down, and you don't
come to us once we're done with the list."
"And why would you think that we would come to see you?" Betty asks.
"I know you people." Kim says. "I know you'll use me until you can't find any way to use me, and then you'll just
toss me out like yesterday's newspaper."
"That is true." Betty says without an ounce of denial.
"So do we have an accord?" Kim asks.
"I'll write up the list." Betty says.
"No." Kim says. "I'll tell you the list."
"Fine... You tell me the list."
"The list will be Camille Leon, Dementor, DNAmy, Killigan, Monkeyfist, and Motor Ed." Kim says. "Nobody
else..."
Betty nods.
"We have a deal. Will?" She says and the young agent immediately sets to drafting the documents. Five minutes
later, he presents them to Kim who reads over them carefully before nodding and signing them. She then hands them
to Betty who signs them as well.
"I'll call you when it's time to make the collection. Don't call me." Kim says grimly. Betty nods and motions to
Will.
"We will be waiting." Betty says and they walk out of the house.
"Thank you, Kimmie." Nana Possible says, hugging her daughter.
"Nana... Papa did that to help me... it's the least I could do..." Kim says. She pulls out her kimmunicator and dials
up Wade.
"Hey, Wade." She says as she sees his face appear.
"Hey, Kim," Wade says. "I just got a set of plans from the Seniors, and it looks like I should be able to make it in
about a week."
"Spankin'," Kim says. "Wade, I need locations and current activity reports on Camille Leon, Dementor, DNAmy,
Killigan, Monkeyfist, and Motor Ed."
"What's going on?" Wade asks.
"One last hurrah," Kim says. "I'm doing a job for GJ to close out the bank and close up shop."
"All right, then." Wade says. "I'm gonna get you locations on them and line up transports for you. Do you want to
do them one at a time or in a line?"
"We'll take them down like dominoes." Kim says. "Call me when you've got everything set up."
"Will do..." Wade says, cutting the connection.
"And now we wait." Kim says.
"Well, it seems this is as good a time as any for you and me to have a little chat, Shego." Nana says. "And Kimmie,
why don't you come with us so you don't have to listen to that tape recorder you so carefully slipped into the back
of her pants..?"
"You knew where it was?" Joss asks, astonished.
"Well of course I did, Jocelyn." Nana says. "After all, who do you think it was who taught her that particular trick?
Hug your target and slip it in as you pretend to squeeze their butt..." She chuckles. "That's one move that can have
some much unexpected results..."
"Like me, for instance?" James says.
"Indeed." Nana says calmly.
"Oh... that's an over-share..." Kim says, holding her head.
"You're telling me..." Joss says, looking equally ill.
"Now come on, then. We don't know how much longer your little friend will be..." Nana says.
TWO HOURS LATER...
Kim's kimmunicator beeps and she withdraws it from her pocket.
"Go, Wade..." Kim says.
"I've got everything lined up. Your first transport should be arriving in about thirty minutes to take you to Hawaii
where Camille Leon was last spotted at a pool party with a martini and wearing an almost illegally tiny bikini."
Wade says.
"And once you're done working with me, I'm sure that GJ will have a spot for you since you're so talented at
hacking into their spy satellites..." Shego says, glancing at the screen. "Of course, if I find out you're spying on us
then I'll shoot down the satellite and then turn your computers into slag."
"And violate the terms of your pardon..." Kim adds. "Wade, I'm sure that you would never spy on me and Shego
since I know you don't want to see the inner workings of a black hole first hand care of my dad..."
"Uh... yeah... I'll pass on that, thanks..." Wade says.
FOUR HOURS LATER...
Camille Leon sits by the poolside, sipping yet another martini as she idly watches the partygoers milling about.
"You know, I've got to agree with Wade..." Kim says. "That bikini is just about illegal..."
"Yeah... but I think I'm gonna get one..." Shego says, grinning. "But first things first... Camille Leon, you are under
arrest."
"What are the charges?" Camille asks, opening her eyes and gazing at the duo.
"Whatever charges GJ decides to drum up." Shego says, shrugging. "Now we've got two choices. Either you
surrender easily, take a sleeping pill, wake up in GJ custody, and probably get a job with them or you can fight us,
get the snot kicked out of you, get arrested by GJ, and then be tossed into a deep dark cell. It's up to you."
"Hmm... decisions, decisions..." She says dryly. "Give me the pill and leave me be."
Kim holds out a small blue pill which Camille pops and swallows easily before sticking out her tongue and lifting it
up to show she had swallowed the pill. She then lay down on the chaise lounge once more.
"Huh." Shego says, rolling her eyes. Kim sighs softly at her hard exterior and then calls Wade.
"Hey, Kim," He says. "What's the news?"
"Camille surrendered easily when given the option." Kim says. "She took a sleeping pill poolside and is ready for
GJ extraction."
"I've got a team en route now." Wade says. "Your next lift will be from the airport..."
TWENTY-THREE HOURS LATER...
Kim and Shego lean against one another as they ride in silence in the twin-engine propeller driven aircraft that is
slicing through the sky on its way to their final destination: Lord Monkeyfist's latest lair...
"One more to go..." Shego says, gently caressing Kim's hair.
"Mmhmm..." Kim hums.
"Do you think you'll miss it?" Shego asks.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think you'll miss the whole hero bit?" Shego asks.
"Not really..." Kim says. "It got old... this is just a good excuse to get out and get a real job..."
"I doubt that..." Shego says.
"Why's that?"
"While Doctor Dee was spending his time coming up with hare-brained schemes, I was playing the stock market
with the wage he was paying me." Shego says, grinning.
"And how much did you make?" Kim asks.
"Let's just say we can comfortably retire on what I made." Shego says.
"Sounds like a plan to me..." Kim says, smiling and leaning against Shego's shoulder.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER...
The aircraft lurches softly and the two women stretch before unbuckling their belts and opening the side door. They
climb out and then walk a half-kilometer through the jungle until they find they are staring at a massive rock wall.
They look at the imposing cliff-face before them. Kim sighs heavily and then looks at Shego.
"Hair dryer?" Shego asks and Kim nods. She pulls out the required device and fires a grappling hook which flies up
and latches on just above the lair's entrance. Kim walks over to her and takes hold of it before Shego wraps her arms
and legs around Kim's body. "You know, I could get used to this..." Shego says while snuggling against Kim.
"Don't try anything frisky or we're both gonna fall..." Kim warns. She pushes the retract button and the cable
quickly retracts, drawing them up to the entrance. As they reach it, she lets go and they land easily on the ledge but
Shego remains firmly wrapped around Kim's body. "Uh... you can let go now..."
"Do I have to?" Shego asks while sporting a grin and rubbing her head against Kim's breasts. "You're so cushy and
comfy..."
"The sooner you let go, the sooner we can get done and go home." Kim says and grins as Shego immediately
loosens her grip. "Thank you."
She turns and holds up one hand which she charges with plasma and then fires at the door, making a person-sized
hole. They walk inside and look around the interior of the lair.
"This might be a problem." Kim says, noting the room is empty.
"Why's that?" Shego asks.
"Every time a lair looks empty, it's either empty or a trap and I don't think that it's empty this time." Kim says.
"You are very astute, Shego." Monty says, stepping from the shadows. "Now, pray tell, what are you doing working
with the illustrious Kim Possible? As I understood things, you were working for Doctor Drakken and are her
enemy."
"Drakken's dead." Shego says. "And we're not enemies anymore."
"Interesting... how did it happen?"
"He tried to kill us but we stopped him." Kim says. "He was eventually shot and killed by Papa Possible."
"So what brings you to my lair?" Monty asks.
"We've come to make you an offer. Surrender and things will go easy for you." Kim says. "Fight and... well... you'll
end up like Doctor Dementor..."
"And how did he end up?" Monty asks.
"Let's just say he's gonna have one hell of a headache once he wakes up." Shego says. "But that's what you get for
being thrown clear across a room into a wall by a point-blank plasma blast."
"You shot him point-blank?" Monty asks, shocked.
"He was going to shoot at us and I couldn't allow it." Kim says. "Now make your decision."
"All is not well with these circumstances, but it seems I have no choice. I surrender." He says.
"Good." Shego says. "Put your hands behind your back."
He obeys and she walks behind him, quickly cuffing him and then pressing a pressure point on his neck that made
him pass out.
"And that is that. Make the call." Shego says, but this is unnecessary as Kim is already calling Wade.
"Done already?" Wade asks and Kim nods. "I'll put in the call. It seems you're free and clear, now."
"Good." Shego says. "Now let's go back to my place..."
"And where exactly is that?" Kim asks.
"I've got a small condo in Upperton I keep as a retreat." Shego says. "That will work well until we can find a
suitable house together."
"Together... I like the sound of that..." Kim says, smiling at the (now) redhead. "C'mon... let's get back to the
transport to get to Middleton. It should be refueled by the time we get there."
"Excellent." Shego says. "I hate turn-around time..."
THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Kim and Shego emerge from the jungle and make their way to the waiting aircraft which they quickly board and
which taxis to the runway before taking off for the trip to Middleton.
"What should our flight time be?" Shego asks.
"We're looking at about six hours, Miss Possible." The pilot says.
"Excellent. Thank you." Shego says, and then looks at Kim. "Time to crash?"
"Oh, yeah." Kim says and leans down a bit. Shego leans over as well, resting her head on Kim's shoulder while Kim
rests her head atop Shego's and they close their eyes, quickly falling asleep. When the pilot glances back at them to
see if they're all right, he's surprised to see the two former enemies using one-another as a support as they sleep
peacefully. He smiles to himself and turns back to the skies before him.
SIX HOURS LATER...
The small aircraft gives a soft jerk as it touches down at Middleton Regional Airport and taxis off the runway.
"We're here already?" Shego asks, stretching her arms out.
"Yeah." The pilot says. "You two crashed just after take-off and slept through the whole flight. I've got to say you
two make a cute couple."
Kim and Shego both blush at the comment while he grins at them.
"Looks like you've got some friends here..." He says, looking out to the right. They look out and see three black
Chevy Tahoe SUVs parked and waiting for them.
"Damn them..." Kim growls.
"GJ... they never learn..." Shego says.
They climb out of the aircraft just in time to see Doctor Betty Director step out of one Tahoe with Agent Will Du in
tow.
"What part of 'we never want to see you again' don't you understand?" Shego demands. "We had an agreement!"
"That we did." Betty says. "And you fulfilled your end beautifully."
"Yes, Betty, we did." Kim says. "We took down the major players and left them for you to put into prison. Shego
and I are retiring from the game so you don't have to worry about her going back to her old tricks or me going bad.
So tell me what you are doing here."
"Such forceful attitude..." Betty says, smiling at her.
"It comes in handy when dealing with two-faced bureaucratic bitches." Kim snipes. "Now spill it!"
"Well, we have a problem. You see, my superiors don't think that the deal as set was good enough..." Betty says.
"You two-faced, double-crossing little bitch... what are you planning..?" Shego demands.
"They want to keep you on retainer as... outside consultants..." Betty says. "We will steer clear of you unless
necessary and contact you through Wade to get things done."
"On one condition," Shego says. "We have final veto power."
"They will fight it..." Betty says.
"That or no go." Shego says.
"Fine," Betty says, taking out her cell phone. She calls a number and talks for a minute before nodding to Will who
takes out his laptop and places it on the hood of the Tahoe before preparing the documents. Once they're ready, they
go through the ritual and then the GJ agents climb back into the vehicles and drive off.
"Shit." Shego says.
"What?" Kim asks.
"We missed a day of school." Shego says. "The principal's gonna be pissed..."
"Did anyone get in touch with David? That everything was back on an even keel?" Kim asks.
"Double shit," Shego says. "Well, we'll see them at school..."
"What time is it, anyway?" Kim asks, feeling somewhat confused by the huge amount of travel they had done.
"Eleven o'clock." Shego says, glancing at the kimmunicator. "So we've technically missed a day and a half."
"Well, we might as well go and talk to Principal Starr and David as well about what all has gone down." Kim says.
"Yeah, and I've got to get the test results from Miss Dove." Shego says idly.
"Test results?" Kim asks.
"She did a full run-down including blood work and a full physical when she figured out I wasn't you." Shego says.
"And let me tell you what... she enjoys her work..."
"You mean..." Kim says, wide eyed.
"Yeah," Shego says. "Of course, I told her that I didn't have a problem if she got a little something out of it as well,
but that if she felt she couldn't keep control that she should just give it up."
"Well... I suppose..." Kim says, feeling a bit unsure.
"The only reason I found out is that I got her worked up in the first place and caught her squeezing my knee gently
after the exam." Shego says. "Don't hold it against her, though. This body is downright sexy."
"Oh, you're really modest." Kim says, grinning.
"It's not my body I'm talking about." Shego says. "I'm just borrowing it. Now we should get a move on. We both
stink from our little jaunt around the world and I for one am starving."
"Same here," Kim says, holding a hand to her abdomen. "And this body can pack away the food!"
"Higher metabolism due to the meteor powers," Shego says, "And good genetics. That's all I need to keep looking
like that, but it comes at a price."
"I felt like a pig at first..." Kim says, blushing.
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry, but it's true..." Kim says. "Now we should get showered and changed before going to the school."
"Oh, nice, very nice..." Shego says wryly as Kim walks off ahead of her.
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER...
"Mmm..." Shego says as she stands beneath the shower head, letting the water cascade over her body. "This feels
good..."
"Don't use all the hot water." Kim says as she walks past the door.
"Want to join me so you don't run out?" Shego asks jokingly.
Kim pauses for a moment, and then opens the door and steps into the bathroom. She quickly disrobes and pulls back
the curtain.
"Hey! I was joking!" Shego complains.
"Too bad... move over." Kim says, stepping into the shower. Shego steps back and looks at Kim for a long moment.
"So how do you expect to pull this off?" Shego finally asks.
"Get over there so I can wash your back..." Kim says
"Yes, ma'am..." Shego says, grinning cheekily as she moves past Kim who gives her a sharp swat.
"Watch that attitude." Kim warns. Shego glances over her shoulder at the taller woman.
"Just you wait..." Shego says as she holds up a loofah for Kim who puts some peach body scrub on it and starts to
work...
FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Kim and Shego step out of the shower, both looking flushed from their activities.
"I thought you were just gonna wash my back..." Shego says, blushing.
"You know how I get carried away..." Kim says, blushing.
"Girls, please keep the friskiness to a minimum while your father and I are home." Ann says as she walks past the
two blushing young women.
"Yes mom." They say in unison, and blink as Ann smiles broadly at them.
"This must be like what Wego feels like..." Shego says.
"Or the tweebs..." Kim adds.
"Now go get dressed, girls." Ann says.
"Ok..." They say in unison and walk into Kim's room.
"One good thing about the clothing I bought..." Shego says. "It will fit both of us without looking downright lewd
on your body..."
"And here I thought that would be something you would like." Kim says, smiling at the former villainess.
"Maybe for the bedroom," Shego says. "Not for everyone else's eyes. Now get your green ass over here and pick out
an outfit.
TEN MINUTES LATER...
"Levi!" Kim suddenly exclaims, startling Shego who turns to look at her.
"What?" She asks.
"We forgot about Levi and James! Do you think they escaped all right?" Kim asks.
"I'm not sure..." Shego says. "Do you have some way to get in contact with him?"
"I think so..." She says, pulling out the cell phone that he had given to her and opening the address book. After about
a minute, she touches the send button and puts it to her ear.
"Katz Electronics," A voice says. "This is Ravid, how can I help you?"
"Ravid, do you know Levi?" Kim asks.
"I know many men named Levi." He says cryptically.
"He bought me a cell phone and got me some Matzah ball soup and blintzes from his Ima." Kim says. "Did he
manage to escape?"
"One moment." He says, and she hears a beep. Thirty seconds later, she hears a click and another voice.
"Hello?" The voice says cautiously.
"Levi?" She says.
"Who is asking?" He asks.
"Shego." Kim says.
"Prove it." He challenges.
"I shouldn't have been surprised the blintzes came out well." Kim says.
"So you managed to escape from Doctor Drakken?" He asks.
"Drew's dead." Kim says. "He was killed in a firefight."
"Oh." He says without a hint of remorse.
"I'm glad you escaped..." Kim says. "I was worried about you."
"There's no need." He says. "I served for six years in the Israeli Army before enlisting to work for Doctor
Drakken."
"Levi, your name is clear." Kim says. "Both yours and James' both. You've received full pardons from Global
Justice for all your crimes."
"Oh... thank you... but James didn't escape..." Levi says. "He was shot by a laser turret while escaping."
"Oh." Kim says, blanching. "I'm so sorry..."
"He died a free man, that's all that matters." Levi says. "And thank you for what you've done for me, Shego. I
appreciate it greatly."
"It's no big." Kim says.
Kim hears a voice in the background and then Levi speaks in Hebrew for a second before she hears a shuffle
and then a voice.
"You are the young lady who saved my Levi?" A woman's voice says.
"I wouldn't say that..." Kim says.
"You asked him for a cellular phone, Matzah ball soup, and blintzes?" She asks.
"Yes."
"Then you are the one." She says. "My boy was looking for a way to escape from that goy ben zonah Drakken
and you gave him a way to escape. Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Mrs. Katz." Kim says, feeling her cheeks heat up with a blush.
"If you're ever in San Diego, feel free to stop in for dinner." She says.
"Thank you." Kim says.
"Everything all right?" Shego says.
"Yeah, I just got invited over to Levi's Ima's house for dinner." Kim says.
"Oh, that's nice." Shego says.
Kim listens as she hears Levi and his Ima talking in Hebrew for a moment before she speaks once more.
"If you want to bring your girlfriend as well, feel free." She says. "And my name is Liora."
"Yes, Ima Liora." Kim says. "Like I said to Levi, I'm glad that he was able to escape."
"Thank you again, Shego." Liora says. "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Liora." Kim says and hangs up the phone. "Well, we've both been invited over for dinner if we
ever go to San Diego."
"Huh." Shego says. "I might have to take a trip to thank him personally."
"Maybe." Kim says. "Well, let's get dressed..."
"I guess..." Shego says. "I like seeing you strutting around like that, but if we've got to get dressed..."
TWENTY MINUTES LATER...
Kim walks downstairs dressed in a black V-neck sweater, green tank top, and black slacks and is followed by
Shego who is dressed in a cute pink 'Hello Kitty' tee-shirt and a pair of evergreen cargo pants.
"I still don't see the need for the tank-top." Shego says.
"If mom saw me sporting as much cleavage as that sweater exposes, she'd make me perform an about-face
and march back to my room to change." Kim says.
"That's right." Ann says, glancing at the girls. "Now, it's noon, so it should be lunch time which is perfect for
you to go and get your missed assignments from school."
"Ok... or we could get lunch at school, then go and talk to some people we need to speak to, and finally get
our assignments after school..." Shego says.
"Whatever works," Ann says. "Just get your assignments. I don't want you getting behind on your class
work."
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Kim says.
"All right, Kimmie. I trust you." Ann says, and then kisses both women on the forehead. "I'll see you later."
"See you later, mom." Kim says. Shego just waves, then turns and walks out the door. Once outside, Kim
glances at Shego who's rubbing her eye with her sleeve.
"Problem?" Kim asks.
"I've got something in my eye." Shego says.
"They're called tears, Shego. What's the sitch?"
"I haven't had a loving maternal figure in my life since mom and dad died..." Shego says. "It's making me
kinda emotional... and this damned body isn't making it any better on me..."
"Hormones will do it to you every time." Kim says. "Such is the curse of being a teenager."
"Yeah." Shego says, rolling her eyes and wiping them once more.
"So are you sure you're doing all right?" Kim asks and Shego nods. "All right, then. Let's get to school."
TEN MINUTES LATER...
Kim and Shego walk through the front doors of the school and stop after just a few feet as an SSG officer
steps out and immediately draws his baton.
"Put that toy away." Shego says, rolling her eyes. "Do you realize what she can do to that?"
"I don't care. It is my duty to stand my ground until reinforcements arrive." He says, gritting his teeth.
"Are you sure? Because I thought that your duty was to get out of my way as I'm on official SSG business."
Shego says, flashing her badge. "And you don't want to make me angry because I'm on fairly good terms with
your boss, Ben Lee."
The young man growls and takes hold of his radio.
"Firebird to Commander Lee," The boy says.
"Go ahead, Firebird." Ben says.
"You are needed at the north-west entrance immediately." He says.
"Understood, Firebird, I am en route, eta two minutes." Ben says.
"You owe us lunch for this." Shego says.
"I owe you nothing." He says.
"We'll see when Ben gets here." Shego says.
TWO MINUTES LATER...
Ben walks around a corner and they watch as he lifts one eyebrow at the sight afforded to him. He walks over
to the two women and looks at them closely before glancing at the still-ready SSG officer.
"You are dismissed."
"He owes us lunch." Kim says.
"He does, does he?"
"Yes." Shego says. "Though he thinks he can welsh out of it."
"And why does he owe you lunch?"
"He stopped us even after she showed her badge." Kim says.
"That does seem to be a fitting penalty. Jonas, you will buy these young ladies lunch in the cafeteria." He turns
to the women. "But don't take this as carte blanche. No more than ten dollars for either of you."
"Sounds good to me," Kim says.
"Same here," Shego says.
"But sir..." Jonas says.
"Don't worry, Jonas. We'll just take it out of your expense account."
"But I need that for my uniform upgrade next month!" Jonas says.
"Then you'd better get to work on some extracurricular activities to earn back that money." Ben says. "You
are dismissed."
"Sir," He says, saluting and walking off.
"Ladies: please come with me." Ben says.
Kim looks at Shego who nods discretely and they follow the militant-seeming young man through the halls.
When they reach the cafeteria, they find that it is empty as the lunch period has already ended. He walks over
to the counter and looks at the lunch ladies who are working to clean up that day's meal.
"Sorry, the cafeteria's closed." The lunch lady says.
"SSG privilege seven-one-six," Ben says. "The cafeteria's open to us."
"I hate your privileges." She says dryly. "What will you have?"
"I'll have a chef salad." Shego says.
"Same here," Kim says.
"It seems we will be having three chef salads, then." Ben says. "And put it on the account for SSG two-seven."
"Right." She says dryly. "I'll have those out for you in just a few minutes."
"Thank you." Ben says and then walks over to a table.
"SSG privilege?" Kim asks.
"We have privileges thanks to our contract, privilege seven-one-six which allows us to re-open the cafeteria
for up to six people and to have the staff at our virtual beck and call." Ben says. "We rarely exercise this,
though, as it can cause for bad blood."
"I would imagine." Shego says. "So I have to ask... Why are you so calm around her?"
"Her?" Ben asks.
"Me." Kim says.
"I don't see you as a threat."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Shego: international super villain, former superhero from Go city, and Kim Possible's true archrival." Ben
says. "You can produce green plasma which either forms a shield around your hands or which you can throw
at a distance."
"Wait... true?" Kim asks, confused.
"There is some debate within the security and law enforcement communities whether Doctor Drakken is your
archrival or if Shego is. The current trend is to consider Shego yours since Drakken could not hold his own in
a straight fight with you."
"Oh." Kim says.
"Besides, it makes for better conjecture."
"How so?" Shego asks.
"Rivals becoming lovers and all that... it's their entertainment talking about that sort of thing." Ben says.
"You should hear them... they gossip like a bunch of cheerleaders... No offense, Kim."
Shego just lifts her eyebrow.
"That aside, I am curious... what brings you two together in such a fashion?" Ben asks.
"Some people made some very bad mistakes and pissed us both off and so we decided to take matters into our
own hands." Kim says. "And if you want to know more, then it must be kept off the record."
"On my word," He says solemnly.
"I'm not Kim Possible." Shego says.
"And I'm not Shego." Kim says.
"Then who are you?" He asks, confused.
"Kim Possible," Kim says.
"Shego," Shego says.
"You mean your minds were transferred into each other's bodies?" He asks and they nod. "Wow... sounds like
Drakken screwed up..."
"He did. And then he went after Kimmie's family when he found out that Kimmie was living my life and
trying to get back to her own..."
"So he thought that you were leaving him?" Ben asks.
"Yes." Shego says. "And I was intent on it anyway. He shot me with a ray weapon and that just pisses me
off."
"I would imagine." He says. "So what happened to him?"
"He found out the hard way that my grandfather is still a crack-shot with his M1 Garand." Kim says.
"Ouch." Ben says.
"Actually, not so much... Papa prefers head-shots to quickly put down his target." Kim says.
"Oh." Ben says, feeling somewhat uneasy about the conversation. "I've noticed that you were absent
yesterday and this morning. Is everything all right?"
"Now it is." Shego says. "We were out doing a job for Global Justice to buy our freedom."
"What was the job?" Ben asks.
"We were dispatched to bring in the major players in exchange for full pardons for Me, Shego, Papa and Nana
Possible, and the Seniors." Kim says.
"The seniors?" Ben asks, confused.
"Señor Senior Sr. and Señor Senior Jr.," Kim says. "They're ex-international criminals who've decided to take
up another hobby."
"Wait... you're saying they were criminals as a hobby?" Ben asks, shocked.
"Yes." Kim says, nodding.
"Wow." Ben says.
"Here you go..." The lunch lady says, walking over with three plates in her grasp. She puts them down and
Kim looks down at the fine china plates before glancing up at the lunch lady.
"These are part of privilege seven-one-six?" Kim asks.
"They are." The lunch lady says coolly.
"Oh... thank you..." She says, much to her surprise.
"You're welcome..." She says, a smile touching her lips as she turns and walks away.
"People don't thank them often, do they?" Shego asks rhetorically.
"I guess not..." Kim says, shaking her head. "That's a real shame."
"They will be properly thanked by the SSG within the week." Ben says.
"Thank you, Ben." Kim says, smiling at him.
"You're welcome." He says, feeling a bit warm under the collar.
"Hey... stop flirting with my Kimmie..." Shego says then gasps and clamps her hands over her mouth.
"You're gonna be so glad when you're out of that body, aren't you?" Kim says, chuckling softly at the
blushing redhead who nods silently. "She's not used to all the hormones running amok in her system and
occasionally her control slips, especially when she feels strong emotions such as jealousy."
"Completely understandable," Ben says, nodding.
FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Kim and Shego walk out of the cafeteria and down the hall.
"So where to now?" Kim asks.
"Well, we might as well see Miss Dove first since she's the least likely to be occupied." Shego says.
"Good point." Kim says and they walk off down the hallway.
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Shego walks into the nurse's office and rings a small bell sitting on the counter. Miss Dove walks out and
freezes at the sight of the two women standing there.
"Hello again, Rose." Shego says, grinning impishly at the blonde nurse.
"Shego, play nice..." Kim says, sighing and rolling her eyes. "Sorry about her, Miss Dove. Sometimes she gets
a little frisky."
"I'm not the only one." Shego says, causing the blonde to blush.
"Right..." Kim says dryly. "She came in a few days ago for a physical. Do you have the results back?"
"I do..." She says. "But I'm not sure how I would take care of this concerning HIPAA..."
"It's my body." Shego says. "And she's my lover. I'm giving you permission to divulge any information to
her."
"That works." Rose says bluntly.
"I hate bureaucracies." Shego says. "And I despise their laws."
"So that's how you know what to say?" Kim asks and Shego nods.
"Yes... well... why don't we go into the exam room..?" Rose says as she turns and walks into the exam room
with the two in tow. Once the door is closed, she looks at the pair with trepidation and Shego smiles.
"She knows." Shego says.
"She does?!" Rose asks, horrified.
"Yes, I do." Kim says. "Shego told me about it already. Honestly, I was a little freaked out at first but then
after I thought about it I agreed with her. Girls our age are hot-to-trot with freshly blooming bodies and all
that so I understand what the appeal is. And I can tell that since you're still here that you've decided that you
can keep yourself under control so it's no big. And for the record: we won't tell anyone."
"Thank you." Rose says. "Thank you for understanding and also for keeping this quiet."
"You're welcome, Rose. Did you take me up on the advice?" Shego asks.
"I've been talking to David and it has been helping." Rose says.
"Good." Shego says. "Now to other business... is there anything wrong with this body?"
"No." She says. "It is the picture of perfect health, save for the scratch marks earlier mentioned."
"Scratch marks?" Kim asks.
"I kinda got carried away in my... personal entertainment... and left some claw marks." Shego says, blushing.
"Oh." Kim says, feeling her temperature rising as well.
"So then I have a perfect bill of health?" Shego asks and Rose Dove nods. "Excellent. Thank you, Rose."
"You're welcome, Shego." Rose says.
The women walk out of the exam room and back out into the hallway before looking left and right.
"Principal Starr next?" Shego asks.
They make their way to the principal's office and Kim opens the door for Shego who walks in first. The
secretary looks up and then gasps as she sees Kim walk in and shut the door.
"You... You're Shego!" She exclaims.
"Yes, I am." Kim says. "We're here to see Principal Starr."
"Oh shit!" Shego suddenly exclaims. "I'll be right back!"
She runs out of the office while Kim and the secretary stand there, motionless.
"Well, that was unexpected." Principal Starr says from his office door. "I wonder why she ran off like that..."
"No clue." Kim says, shaking her head.
"Well, come in, Shego. Mary, please send her in when she arrives." He says.
"Yes, Principal Starr." The secretary says.
Shego runs through the halls, a woman on a mission.
"No running in the halls!" A voice calls.
"BITE ME!" She shouts back. Moments later, she hears footsteps behind her and rounds a corner and then
skids to a halt. She quickly spins the dial on the locker to the right... then the left... then the right once more
and lifts the latch, opening the mini-safe. She pulls out a bundle of papers and then slams the door just in time
to see an SSG officer standing there.
"You'd better be very careful what you say next." The SSG officer says.
"You'd better not piss me off or get in my way." She says. "I'm plainclothes SSG now move."
He growls but backs down as she flashes her badge at him. She then jogs around him and breaks into a dead
run once more, making it back to the principal's office only to find Kim missing.
"Where is she?" Shego asks.
"She's in the office with Principal Starr. They're waiting for you inside." She says. "Go right in."
Shego walks over to the door and opens it to find Kim and Principal Starr sitting and chatting idly. They look
over and she feels a light blush tinge her cheeks as she locks eyes with Kim for a moment.
"Come in, come in." Principal Starr says. "Have a seat."
Shego walks over and sits down next to Kim.
"Did you get what you forgot?" Principal Starr asks.
"Yeah..." Shego says, holding out the papers to Principal Starr who glances at them and then lifts his
eyebrow.
"Hmmm..." He hums. "Would you mind if I made a copy for my personal perusing?"
"Of course... but only if you make two copies... there's one other interested party who wants a copy." Shego
says. He takes the papers and quickly makes two copies before handing back the original and one copy to
Shego.
"And that is?"
"A creative-writing assignment that Shego wrote for Mister Barkin's English class." Principal Starr says.
"And how creative is it?" Kim asks.
"Let's just say it had a profound effect on Mister Barkin." Principal Starr says.
Kim stares at him for a long moment and then her face twists into a 'eww' expression and she shivers.
"Sick and wrong..." She finally says.
"But fun nonetheless." Shego says. "It was great. That was when I was torturing him in class..."
"Oh, I heard about that." Kim says. "A couple girls were walking along and gossiping about you."
"And that was when I caught you." Principal Starr says. "Now, to more current matters... You have been
absent for a day and a half from school. Please explain."
"We were attacked by Doctor Drakken after we got home from school one day—I'm sure David told you that
had happened—and then went to Nana Possible's ranch. From there, we went literally around the world on a
job for Global Justice to get my record expunged and to pay for a set of plans for a device that hopefully will
be able to put us in our right bodies." Shego says. "Does that explain everything?"
"Yes. Just please, call if this is going to happen again." Principal Starr says. "I'll change the paperwork to
reflect that it was an excused absence."
"Thank you, Principal Starr." Kim says.
"You're welcome, Kimberly." He says. "Shego, since you have gotten your record expunged, am I to assume
that you are now in the market for employment?"
"You're offering me a job?" Shego asks.
"Yes." He says. "I remember the time that you spent here as Miss Go and while you will not be so
nauseatingly saccharine-sweet, I'm sure that you will do well at teaching our students, at least until Kimberly
graduates at the end of next school year."
"Will the old contract still be in effect?" She asks and he nods. "Sounds like a plan to me. Just draft up a
teaching schedule for me and I'll do what I can to jump back into the swing of things."
"I'll prepare one for you over the next few days and get it to you before Friday so you should have the
weekend to prepare for Monday morning at eight am."
"All right, then." She says, smiling and shaking his hand. "Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go talk to
David Perkins to allay his fears of our being killed in action."
"Most definitely." He says, inclining his head to them.
They stand and walk out of the room and Shego glances at the clock. "Two-thirty..."
"Wow... time flies..." Kim says idly.
"That it does." Shego says.
They walk down the hall to the guidance counselor's office and walk inside.
"We're here to see Mister Perkins." Shego says.
"He should be in his office." The secretary says. "He retreated into there yesterday and left me a note saying
that I was not to disturb him unless I had information concerning you and that I was to tell you to go see him
in his smoking office as soon as you arrived."
"Thank you." Kim says and they walk into the office, only to find it empty. Shego walks over to the book case
and triggers the hidden latch which opens and reveals the hidden staircase.
"I love this office." Shego says, grinning.
"I could tell." Kim says.
The two women ascend the stairs and walk out to the smoking office before knocking on the door. They stand
for a moment and then the door opens revealing David Perkins wearing his smoking jacket with his pipe in his
right hand and a glass of brandy in his left.
"The fates have smiled upon you." He says. "I'm glad..."
"Are you all right, David?" Kim says, concerned.
"Yes..." He says. The girls walk into the office and Kim immediately spies the half-empty decanter sitting on
the table.
"David... did you drink all that by yourself?"
"Yes..." He says, drinking the liquid from his glass and automatically refilling it while simultaneously taking a
deep puff from his pipe.
"You've been awake since we left smoking and drinking?" Shego asks and he nods. "Why?"
"I was concerned..." He says. "I was afraid that this would be the time that you would not return..."
They look at him silently.
"You do not know what I saw in your eyes when you received the call." He says. "I saw mortal fear... and that
scared me far more than anything I've seen before... I was afraid that I would be among the last to see you two
alive..."
"And so you opted to come here to drink and smoke." Shego says and he nods.
"I know it sounds foolish... but it was the only thing that could keep my mind occupied..." He says. "I could
see things happening to you... horrible things... each worse than the last... yet here you stand..."
"Yet here we stand." Shego says. "Drakken is dead."
"Did you kill him?"
"No." Kim says, shaking her head. "Papa Possible—my grandfather—killed him. He shot him using his rifle
from when he served in Korea."
"Where will you go from here?" He asks.
"I'll finish school," Kim says. "Shego is going to teach here until I graduate and will quit after that if she
doesn't keep teaching for something to do."
"Isn't she a criminal?"
"I've received a full pardon." Shego says. "We did a job for Global Justice and they gave me the pardon."
"I'm glad." He says. "As much as you like your 'bad girl' image, I can see that it hurts you inside and I'm glad
to see you're starting a new life."
"Indeed." Shego says. "Now, David, what are you going to do?"
"That depends on what you are talking about." He says.
"Are you going to continue drinking like a fish and smoking like a chimney or are you going to tap out your
pipe, pour the rest of your drink back into the decanter, and sleep it off on the couch?" Shego asks.
He looks at her for a long moment before deciding on the second option.
"Thank you, David." Shego says. "Come on, Kimmie, it's about time for classes to let out so we should go
down and talk to your teachers."
"Right," Kim says. "I'll see you later, David."
"Take care, Shego, Kimberly." He says.
The females walk out of the office and back down the stairs. As they exit his office, they look at the secretary.
"David is not to be disturbed." Shego says and the secretary nods.
Kim and Shego then walk out of the guidance counselor's office just in time to hear the bell ring. As they walk
along, they stop as they see a familiar brunette glaring at them.
"There is something not right about you two." Bonnie says, walking up to them. "You're too sexual... too
wild... too unhinged... and you... you're too restrained... you're each other."
"Wow. Took you this long?" Shego asks scathingly.
"Be nice." Kim chides.
"I was trying to make things fit into what I knew but that is where things fell apart. Everything was opposite."
Bonnie says. "Now I think I understand. I just have one question to ask... are you two together?"
"What kind of left-field question is that?" Shego asks.
"Yes, we are." Kim says.
"Oh... ok..." Bonnie says, turns, and walks off.
"What was that about?" Shego asks.
"I think she was crushing on you... or would that be me..? Whatever... She was crushing and got crunched."
Kim says.
"Oh." Shego says. "That does kinda explain the hyper-bitchiness."
"Yeah... that and her sisters..." Kim says.
"Hey you!" A voice calls and the duo turns to see a bouncy blonde quickly making her way through the
crowd. "I was... what?!"
"Problem?" Shego asks.
"Aren't you two enemies?" Tara asks.
"We were." Kim says. "Things have changed."
"Oh... so now what are you?" Tara asks.
"Well... we decided to make love not war..." Shego says. Kim looks at her with an incredulous expression as
she grins.
"Ho... lee... shit!" Tara exclaims. "Really?"
"Yeah," Kim says, nodding.
"Damn..." Tara says.
"Tara, do you know if Bonnie was crushing on me?" Kim asks.
"You think that Bonnie's a lesbian?" Tara asks, unsure.
"Well... here's the thing... you know what's been going on with me and Kimmie, right?" Shego says, causing
Tara to blink. "I'm not Kim. I'm Shego. She's Kim."
Tara blinks again.
"We got hit with one of Drakken's rays." Kim says.
"Oh..." Tara says. "I get it now."
"Yeah. Well, Bonnie didn't catch on until just how and cornered us on it. Then she said she couldn't figure it
out since it didn't match with what she knew and closed with asking if we were involved." Kim says.
"I asked her what kind of left-field question it was and Kim answered the question." Shego says. "Then she
was like 'oh... ok...' and walked off."
"Wow... sounds like she was crushing to me..." Tara says. "I never figured her for the type..."
"If you go after her, be careful and be gentle." Shego says.
"What?" Kim asks.
"She's caught the scent of blood in the water." Shego says. "And it seems she's on the prowl."
"What? No!" She denies.
"Right..." Shego says. "You might want to talk to Monique and ask for any gossip about her before going and
talking to her first-hand."
"Right... good point..." She says, then blinks and blushes as she realizes she is caught.
"Oh and one more thing..." Shego says, holding up the sheaf of papers. "The original... with annotations..."
Tara smiles brilliantly and takes the papers before hugging her tightly.
"Thank you..." She whispers before releasing her.
"Enjoy." Shego says, grinning.
"I will." Tara says, and then quickly darts off.
"Wasn't that..."
"The story I wrote for Barkin's class?" Shego asks. "Yeah."
"And Tara..?"
"Let's just say she's gonna have some... fun... with the story..."
Kim looks at her for a long moment before her eyes grow large and her mouth drops open from shock.
"No way..." Kim says.
"Yes way." Shego says. "Now come on, we've got to get our assignments."
ELSEWHERE...
Bonnie sits quietly in the locker room, staring at the lockers before her in silent contemplation.
"What was I thinking?" She says quietly to the air. "I mean... I'm not like that... right? Then why do I feel so
empty..?" She sighs heavily. "Damn it..."
"Problem?" Tara queries as she walks over to the bench where Bonnie is sitting. Bonnie stands and Tara holds
up one hand, forestalling her. "Stay a while, please."
"Ok..." Bonnie says.
"So what's wrong, Bonnie?" Tara asks.
"Well... the thing is... you know about Kim and Shego... right?" Bonnie asks. "I mean being in each other's
bodies?"
"Yeah..." Tara says.
"I finally caught on and confronted them about it and they said it was true... and then I was talking to them
and I asked if they were... well... involved... and they are..." She says.
"I know." Tara says. "What's wrong, Bonnie?"
"Well... the thing is... I feel strange about it..." Bonnie says.
"How?" Tara asks.
"I... I'm not sure... I don't know how to put it into words..."
"Do you feel like someone has taken something important from you? Like you lost something you never knew
you had until it was gone?" Tara asks. "Like a part of your world has just been shifted out of place and you
don't know what to do with yourself? You feel hollow and alone and in desperate need of something you
can't put into words?"
Bonnie blinks and nods slowly.
"You loved her." Tara says.
"But I'm not gay..." Bonnie says.
"Neither am I." Tara says. "I'm a lesbian and I think that you might be a lesbian as well."
"You... you're kidding... right?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Tara asks, gazing at Bonnie with a straight face. "Bonnie, I had to come to terms
with my sexuality when I found that I was attracted to women and I had nobody there to support me. I had to
forge out on my own and I had nothing to fall back on. I had to learn a lot of things through trial and error... I
don't want you to have to go to through the same things that I did..."
"What do you mean?" Bonnie asks.
"Well... first I want to perform a little test on you to see if I'm right... then after that more things will happen...
but first the test..."
"Ok... so what's the test?" Bonnie asks.
Tara scoots a bit closer to Bonnie and looks her square in the eye.
"It goes something like this..." She says, and then gently cups Bonnie's cheek before leaning in and kissing her
softly on the lips. Tara watches her reaction through half-lidded eyes, smiling inwardly as she sees Bonnie's
eyes go wide from shock at first, then droop as she starts to enjoy the sensation of the blonde's lips being
pressed to her own. As Tara breaks the kiss, she leans back slowly and watches as Bonnie slowly opens her
eyes and lets out a shaky breath.
"That was the test?" Bonnie finally asks breathlessly.
"Did you feel disgusted?" Tara asks and Bonnie thinks before shaking her head. "Did you feel scared?"
"At first... but then no..." Bonnie says.
"Do you want to try it again?" Tara asks and Bonnie blinks before leaning forward and kissing the blonde
once more.
ELSEWHERE...
"I've got a feeling that Tara's making her move." Shego says.
"How are you sure?"
"Something just makes me think that soon those two will be an item." Shego says.
"Huh... that will be good. Bonnie needs someone nice in her life." Kim says.
Kim's kimmunicator beeps and she withdraws it from her pocket.
"What's the sitch?" Kim says.
"Wow... that's strange to see you saying that with that body..." Wade says. "I've got the ray done and
everything checks out with the schematics and what not. I've sent the information to the Seniors who told me
everything was good so I'm not worried. How do you want to do this?"
"Where does he live?" Shego asks.
"Ten minutes away..." Kim says.
"Don't go anywhere, nerdlinger." Shego says. "We're on our way."
"But Shego, what about the class work?" Kim asks.
"I'll call Ben and have him get the assignments for me." Shego says. "And in exchange, I'll promise him a
favor."
"An open-ended promise... that's kinda dangerous..." Kim says.
"Ben is honorable. I have no worries about him." Shego says. "Now come on... I want to get back to my old
body and get out of these hormones!"
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER...
Kim and Shego walk up to the front door of Wade's home and Shego knocks on the door. They stand there
for a moment, and then watch as a lovely middle-aged woman opens the door and looks at them.
"Can I help you?" She says.
"It depends. Are you Wade's mother?" Shego asks.
"Shego," Kim says chidingly. "Sorry, Mrs. Load. Shego's feeling a bit snippy."
Mrs. Load stares at the twosome for a long moment.
"We're here to see Wade?" Kim says. "He's build us a ray-device to reverse the mind-transfer that Doctor
Drakken performed on us."
"Oh... ok..." She says, nodding slowly. "Come in..."
"Don't worry. I won't cause any trouble." Shego says. "I've got a conditional pardon from Global Justice and
I'm enjoying being a free woman so I'm gonna be good. Besides, if I cause trouble then I'll never hear the end
of it from Kimmie..."
"Shego, please be good." Kim says. "At least wait until we're back in our own bodies once more..."
"Wow... suddenly I'm hungry for Bueno Nacho... eww..." Shego says.
"Maybe we should wait for a week..." Kim says suddenly.
"Oh, hell no..." Shego says. "I'm not getting stuck with 'Aunt Flo.'"
"Wade is up in his room..." Mrs. Load says, watching the duo carefully.
"Thanks." Shego says and they walk up the stairs and into his room. As they enter, Shego lifts one eyebrow.
"This is his room? This looks like some evil techno-villain's lair or something."
"Hardly," The husky genius says. "I don't have near the level of weaponry lying around that most techno-
villains have. I do, however, have this device. Are you ready?"
They nod, clasping hands as he touches a button on the side of the machine. Wade watches silently as the
machine hums softly, a blue glow growing around it and then shooting out at the two of them. After a
moment, the beam dissipates and the two women collapse unconscious. Wade walks over and (with a strength
belying his apparent huskiness) lifts both of them up and carries them easily over to his bed where he lays
them down. Once they're situated, he walks over to a weight bench and starts doing chest-presses.
FOUR HOURS LATER...
"Ugh..." Shego says, opening her eyes and staring up at the ceiling. "I hate ray weapons... hey! I have my
voice back!"
"Shego?" Wade says.
"One in the same," Shego says. She slowly sits up and looks around the room before focusing on the figure
sitting and doing bicep curls. "Do me a favor... put down that dumbbell and help me up."
He nods, puts down the weight, and then walks over and carefully lifts her to her feet.
"Are you steady?" He asks, moving back a bit from her.
"Yeah... and thanks..." She says, moving forward and embracing him. He blinks, taken aback by the
surprisingly familiar gesture from the normally reserved woman, and then blushes as he realizes that a very
cushy part of her very feminine anatomy is pressed against him. She leans back and kisses him on the cheek
before stepping back and sitting down. "Oh, and if you tell anyone beside Kimmie that I did that, I'll hunt you
down."
He nods dumbly and takes a shambling step back before sitting down in his computer chair with a thud.
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
"Ouch..." Kim mumbles, slowly opening her eyes and looking up at the ceiling.
"Good morning, sleepy-head." Shego says, gazing down at the redhead with a loving expression. "It's nice to
finally see you in your body."
"Shego?" Kim says softly and Shego nods. Kim blinks, then smiles and throws her arms around Shego before
pulling her down and kissing her several times on the face. After the exuberant display, Shego helps Kim sit
up and the redhead looks at the still stunned savant. "Is something wrong with Wade?" She asks.
"I fried his brain... why don't you go over there and give him a hug and kiss on the cheek to see if that will
jump-start him once more." Shego says.
"Is that what you did to him?" Kim asks and she nods, blushing. "Well, I guess I owe him that much for what
he's done for us..."
She stands slowly, and then walks over to him before leaning down and wrapping her arms around him
gently. She smiles to herself as she feels his arms move and wrap around her as well, holding her tenderly. She
leans back a bit and kisses him on the cheek and then pulls back from the embrace. He blinks and looks at her
with a confused expression.
"What just happened?" He asks.
"Well, in nerd terms you had a divide-by-zero followed by a buffer-overrun and subsequent crash with a
reboot." Shego says.
"Oh." Wade says.
"Thanks again, Wade." Shego says. "Now come on, Kimmie... let's go home..."
"Actually, can we stop by my house first?" Kim asks.
"Uh... what?" Shego asks.
"Well, I wanted to give mom and dad the good news that we're back in our own bodies." Kim says. "That and
get some clothes to wear for tomorrow."
Shego stares at Kim for a long moment.
"You were talking about going back to your condo in Upperton... right?" Kim asks softly.
Shego looks at her for a long moment before her lips turn up in a soft smile.
"You're beautiful, Kimmie." Shego says. "Now come on, let's tell mom and dad the good news. Traffic into
Upperton is gonna suck for another hour or so and so we might as well spend that time with your parents."
"Our parents," Kim says.
"Our parents," Shego agrees.
THE NEXT MORNING...
Kim opens her eyes and smiles as she looks at Shego's sleeping visage.
"I could get used to this..." Kim says softly.
Shego's lips turn up a bit and her eyes open a crack.
"Finally awake?" She asks softly. "Took you long enough... now come on... we have school..."
"We?" Kim asks, confused.
"Well, yes." Shego says. "You have school and I have to get ready for Monday."
"Ugh..." Kim says and slowly extricates herself from the bed. "Please tell me you have a shower like the one in
the last lair..."
"But of course." Shego says.
"Good..." Kim says. "It was amazing..."
Shego chuckles softly at the drawn-out word.
"All right... get a move on..."
FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Kim smiles as Shego pulls up in the school parking lot and parks in a spot marked SSG ONLY.
"Ready?" Shego says.
"Not really, but here we go." Kim says.
"I'll see you at lunch..." Shego promises.
"I look forward to it." Kim says, then leans over and gives Shego a soft kiss before getting out of the car.
TEN MINUTES LATER...
Kim sits in English class, looking at the front where Mister Barkin is eyeing her closely.
"Class! Today we will be doing another creative writing assignment. It will involve at least two parties and an
action scene. And Possible: keep it PG this time." He says, glaring at Kim.
"Don't blame me if you can't read a naughty story." Kim says calmly. "I thought it was pretty good, if I say
so myself."
"Huh." He says derisively. "Begin!"
HOURS LATER...
Kim walks into the cafeteria and smiles as she sees Shego sitting with Ben Lee and Monique. She walks over
to the table and gives Shego a soft kiss before sitting down as well.
"Well, Miss Possible, it's good to see you finally in your own body." Ben says.
"It's good to be back, Ben." Kim says. "What's up?"
"We have a bit of a problem. You see, the SSG badge was issued to this body but to that person... so to
rectify this problem, I've come up with a simple solution." Ben says, taking out a small item from his pocket
and putting it on the table before Shego. "You and Shego are now both full members of the SSG."
"Spanking!" Kim says, grinning.
"All right, girlfriend, now that we've got the whole SSG thing done... are you and she officially an item?"
Monique asks.
"The kiss when she walked in wasn't enough?" Ben asks. Monique glares at Ben balefully.
"Watch it, Lee." Monique says.
He lifts his eyebrow and grins at her.
"Humph." Monique grunts, and then turns to Kim who's grinning at her. "What?"
"Do you think it's gonna be Jones-Lee?" Kim asks.
"I was thinking Lee-Jones." Shego says.
"What are you two... oh no!" Monique exclaims.
"Oh, come off it, Mo. We could both see it." Kim says.
She glances at the young man who's watching with an amused expression and feels her face grow warmer as
she starts blushing. Just then she spies her salvation in the distance...
"Look at that! B and T!" Monique exclaims, pointing at the twosome who are standing close to one another,
but who're still separated enough for plausible deniability. Tara looks over at them and smiles before saying
something to Bonnie who looks hurt for a moment. Tara then says something else and Bonnie nods and then
smiles at Tara before giving her a discrete peck on the cheek. "Damn... I... damn..." Monique says.
"You didn't think it was really them together?" Ben asks and Monique shakes her head. "Guess sometimes the
best things in life are a surprise..."
She looks at him and blushes once more as she sees he is looking at her with an intense gaze. She tries to think
of something to say but her mind is short-circuited at the moment and the only thing that would save her is...
"Mo!" Bonnie says, snapping Monique out of her mental wheel-spinning.
"What? Sorry." Monique says, blushing hotly.
"So what's the sitch?" Kim asks.
"Well... Bonnie and I... we are an item..." Tara says.
"Congratulations, both of you..." Shego says, smiling at them.
"Thank you." Tara says, blushing. Bonnie just nods, not taking her eyes from Kim.
"Kim... I wanted to tell you something..." Bonnie says.
"What's that?" Kim asks.
"For a long time... I was crushing on you but I didn't know how to act... I'm sorry that I was a super-bitch...
maybe if I hadn't been... things might have been different... but I'm glad that they happened the way they
did... because I can see you're happy with Shego and I'm really enjoying the time I'm spending with Tara..."
Bonnie says.
"No big, B." Kim says, smiling at the brunette and giving her a gentle hug before sitting down once more.
"Hey, Bonnie?" Shego says.
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry about bouncing a quarter off your ass... though it was a nice target..." Shego says.
"And I'm sorry I lashed you with the towel..." Bonnie says.
"Same here..." Shego says and the women embrace.
"Towel-lashings and quarter-bouncing? Where was I?" Ben asks and is rewarded with a smack from Monique.
"Guess I've got to behave... don't I?"
"Yes, you do." Monique says.
"So how did you like the story?" Shego asks, sitting down once more. Tara and Bonnie sit down as well and
lean in a bit.
"That was by far one of the best written yet filthiest, most deviant and debauched pieces of smut I've ever laid
my eyes on." Tara says, looking disgusted.
"So you liked it?" Shego asks, grinning.
"It was amazing..." Tara says. "If you ever write anything like that again..."
"You'll get a signed copy with annotations." Shego says.
"Thank you!" Tara says, grinning broadly.
"You know... I was just thinking... how do you think that Ron will take all these changes?" Kim says.
THE NEXT MORNING...
Ron walks into the school after having been absent for almost a week with the flu and stops dead in his tracks
as he sees Kim give Shego a kiss before jogging over and wrapping her arm around Bonnie's shoulders and
holding her close.
"Maybe I'm still sick... because I think I'm hallucinating..." Ron says.
"No, Ronald, you're not." Ben says.
"Who are you?" Ron asks, looking at the young man who is dressed in a uniform that looks vaguely familiar
to him.
"Ben Lee, SSG, and have I got a story to tell you..."
The End
