As Kim lifted her head up, skimming the room for some sign of Ron, a raven haired girl crouching down in a corner caught her eye. Kim squinted. Suddenly the Kimmunicator beeped, and Wade's face filled the screen. "What's the sitch Wade?" Kim whispered urgently. The sooner she could get out of NachoCon the better.
"Uh, look to your left, Kim. The tracking bug we placed on Shego last week is telling me she's in the convention."
"She can't be, I would have seen her by now! She doesn't exactly blend in...wait, is that..." The girl looked up and made eye contact with the superhero. Her face was instantly recognizable, but she wasn't wearing her usual green and black super-suit; in fact it looked like she was wearing the Club Banana jacket Kim had been checking out shortly before the convention. She hated to admit it, but Shego looked kind of cute. "Shit." Kim scanned the room. Coast clear. "Showtime."
Reaching for the gun in her pocket while pretending to admire a nacho cheese fountain dangerously close to her opponent, Kim slipped her finger around the trigger, spun around, and ran towards the girl.
"What the hell are you doing here, Shego? I can't even go on a date with my fiancé without finding you a corner about to bomb the place or something?"
"fiancé."
Shego smirked when she said the word, yet Kim couldn't help but notice the sadness in her eyes.
"Don't worry Kimmie, I'm not here to ruin your date with your fiancé. Although I don't see him here with you."
"Well you sure as hell aren't going to NachoCon for fun."
Shego bit her lip. "You know me too well."
"Then what are you here for, Shego?" Kim asked impatiently. Ron was probably getting worried about her by now.
A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Boo yah! Free burritos? I love this place!" Ron's voice echoed throughout the convention.
Then again maybe he wasn't.
Shego rolled her eyes in his direction, then took a step closer to Kim and whispered, "I'm here to see you."
Kim's eyes widened; this was so not what she was expecting. She looked up at Shego and her stomach flopped. Slowly, Kim lowered her gaze down to Shego's lips and before she could even think about what she was doing, she was kissing her. The sensation was something she'd never experienced with Ron. Shego put her arm around Kim's neck and fireworks went off in her head. Then, all of a sudden, the fireworks disappeared and a warning bell went off instead. She pulled away from Shego and looked around frantically for Ron. He wasn't there; thank god. Her emotions were going crazy right now, and she couldn't even think straight; no pun intended.
"Dammit, Shego. I just got engaged, and this is your wedding present?" Kim wasn't sure who she should be more mad at—herself or Shego. "I can't do this, so stay out of my life unless you have plans for world domination or something." Shego looked into Kim's eyes. Was it Kim's imagination, or was she trying desperately to hold back tears?
"It's fine cupcake, I can wait for you. I know you feel something too, you'll be back."
Kim gave her one last frantic look. She wanted desperately to kiss her again until the heartbroken tears Shego tried so hard to hide disappeared from her eyes. In another life, she would have left Ron for Shego in a second, but not in this one. She couldn't. She didn't have a choice.
"Bye Shego." Kim murmured. Then she spun around and walked away, using every ounce of willpower she had left to prevent herself from looking back.
