Wow. I wanna say thank you to those people who read and review and gave my story a chance. You guys are awesome and make me want to write more. Oh, I forgot to mention that italics were thoughts, but you guys probably figured that out yourselves. The dialog might get confusing in this chapter but I tried to use nicknames to differentiate between which parents are talking.

For those who wanted me to update Who Says Girls Can't Play Football, I'll try to. I might be remotivated to write OC fanfiction after the premiere of House next Tuesday. Woo, Olivia Wilde and her bisexual characters. Haha.

Disclaimer: Anything you recognize, I do not own. So sad.

Chapter 2 - Family and Nicknames

12 years earlier.

"Mommy! C'mon, let's go!" Ann Possible amusedly looked at her 5 year old daughter and picked her up before the girl could tug on her shirt any more. "Stop! You're wrinkling my shirt!" She rolled her eyes before giving the little girl kisses and blowing raspberries on her neck. The little girl erupted into a fit of giggles before kissing her mother on the cheek.

"Kimmie, what are you in such a rush for? You haven't even touched your breakfast yet." Kimberly Ann Possible glanced at the bowl of Golden Grahams sitting on the table waiting for milk to be poured on to it. She always liked to pour the milk on it herself since she didn't like the cereal when it got soggy, she liked it when it was semi-crunchy.

"But, Mooommm, if we don't go now, we're gonna be late! And I told you already, like a bazillion times." Ann smiled at her daughter and before putting the girl back on the ground.

"I must've forgotten, tell me again, please?" The younger redhead let out an exasperated sigh that received a chuckle from her father sitting at the nearby table reading the newspaper.

"I'm meeting my 4th grade buddy today and I want to make a good impression!" James Possible folded up his paper nicely before getting up and going to stand next to his wife. He put an arm around Ann's waist and ruffled Kim's hair. "Daaaad, my hair!" She ran her fingers through her hair a few times trying to straighten it out.

"Kimmie-cub, you always make a good first impression. Everybody adores you." He picked his daughter up and carried her so she could be at face level before giving her a kiss.

"You're cute, friendly, and you get along with everyone, sweetie." Ann tapped Kim on the nose before taking her from her husband and putting her on the ground again.

"But, but, what if she's not like everyone else? What do I do then?" Kim stood in a very cute I-don't-know pose with her hands in front of her and her shoulders up.

"Just be yourself, Kim. If she doesn't like you, then she doesn't like you. But why wouldn't she like you? You're the sweetest girl in the whole world."

"Bonnie doesn't like me."

"Well, Bonnie's just a spoilsport. She doesn't know how great of a friend you would've been to her Kimmie-cub. And your new buddy will probably be nothing like Bonnie."

"You guys are my mom and dad, you're supposed to say things like that." The girl's lower lip jutted out in to a pout and her eyes widened in sadness. One of James' eyebrows cocked up in surprise.

"I can't believe you taught her that." Ann let out a laugh while slapping James' shoulder lightly.

"I didn't. She must've seen me do it once and then copied. She's a fast learner." He faked getting hurt and then smiled in pride.

"That's my girl." Kim brightened when she heard her father's praise.

"Now can we go?"

--

A raven haired girl with dark emerald eyes stood somewhat awkwardly in front of her new younger friend.

"I'm Savannah Go." The redhead stared at her shoes while mumbling something. "Uh, do you think you could speak up? I couldn't really hear you." Savannah used her index finger to lift up Kim's chin and make her look at her. A faint blush appeared on Kim's embarrassed cheeks.

"K-Kimberly. My name's Kimberly…" Kim smiled when she saw that the other girl had green eyes like she did, she didn't know any one else with them so she always felt different.

"Kim, eh?" Savannah gave Kim the look over and examined her face. 'She get's as bright as her hair when she blushes. And she has green eyes! Just like me.'

"Yea... What did you say your name was again? Sorry." Kim looked dejectedly at the floor before Savannah forced her to face her again.

"Savannah Go. Say it with me. Savannah." Savannah smiled as Kim's eyebrows bunched together.

"Sa-Sav…" The redhead started to become very frustrated trying to pronounce the other girl's name. "Sav-an-hannah?" The raven-haired girl let out a laugh and Kim's eyes widened in horror. 'Is she laughing at me? She probably thinks I'm stupid.'

"Savanhannah? That's a new one." Savannah wiped away a tear that managed to escape her eyes from the laughing and looked back at her friend who had suddenly become quiet. "H-hey! Are you crying?" She tried to see the other girl's face but the redhead had covered her eyes and turned away.

"No!" Kim began rubbing her eyes furiously trying to make the tears go away, "Something got in my eye." She walked around so she was facing Kim again. She bent down and put her hands on the other girls shoulders.

"Don't lie. Now, why are you crying?" Savannah knew she had to deal with the situation head on. It was how she dealt with it when her brothers cried.

"You think I'm stupid. I can't even say your name right." Kim let out a burst of tears and Savannah panicked.

"No I don't! Stop crying over it, it's a hard name." She thought about it for a second, "Well, not really, but for a 5, you are 5, right?" Kim nodded quickly. "For a 5 year old, it could be tough." Kim nodded again. "How about you give me a name that's easier for you to say?"

Kim sniffled once more before wiping the remainder of her tears away with her sleeve.

"Give you a name?"

"Yea, like a nickname. Okay?" The younger of the two nodded her head and put a finger to her chin in thought. She then clasped her hands together and yelled excitedly.

"Shego!" Kim smiled proudly. 'Wow, I didn't think she'd come up with a name that fast. This girl is gonna keep me on my toes.'

"Shego? How'd you come up with that?"

"I dunno... Savgo would've sounded funny and you were a girl so I thought of 'she' and Go is your last name. I can try to think of something else if you don't like it." Kim hoped she liked it because Kim liked how it sounded.

"Shego. Hmm." Shego rubbed her chin thoughtfully before giving a nod of approval to the girl in front of her. "I like it! Good job, Princess."

"P-Princess?" Her dad called her his princess sometimes, but that was when she was dressed in dresses and wasn't allowed to play outside with the other kids because he didn't want her dress to get dirty.

"It's your nickname. If you gave me a nickname, I should give you a nickname. Doy." Shego said it with such confidence because it only made sense to her.

"But why'd it have to be Princess? C-cant it be something else? I don't want to be treated like a princess." The girl pouted before continuing, "I like playing outside."

"Princesses can have fun, too." Kim looked at Shego rather skeptically. "How about we make a deal, Princess?"

"What kind of deal?" Deals were usually something she made with her parents for doing something and then getting a reward for doing it. She hoped the other girl had something good to offer. Shego quickly glanced around her and made a mental note to herself.

"How about, if you can beat me climbing up a tree, I'll give you a new nickname?"

"Okay! Which tree?" She began looking around at all the possible trees that Shego might make her climb. 'It shouldn't be that hard, I climb trees all the time. I even beat Dad at it!' When she looked back to see where her partner was, her partner was already a quarter way up a tree trunk. She quickly ran over to the base of the tree and looked up. "Hey! You cheated!" The 9 year old looked down from where she was and smirked.

"Hurry it up Princess, or you'll be stuck with that name forever." She blew a raspberry before continuing her way up the tall tree.

"Shego!!" The redhead was smiling despite her angry tone, and happily began climbing after her new friend up the tree.

SoOo, now you know why Kim recognized the name, she gave it to her! I tried to make this chapter rather cutesy. Tell me if it turned out okay? Uh, I think I'm gonna try to make every 2 or 3 chapters a flashback chapter, depending on how the story goes. I didn't really plan anything out. I write the chapters the day that I post them. Haha.

The age question was answered in this chapter, so it makes Kim 17 and Shego 21. I don't know if I want Kim to be a Junior or Senior yet, we'll just see how that goes.

Ken-Zero, I think I got confused to when A/U is used. Oops? Haha. Forgive me?

Oo, Kitty, can I have my cookie now? Snickerdoodle, please.

Next Chapter: Shego runs away from her past. Kim learns about what happened to Shego.
