Dr. Ann Possible slowly crept up the stairs leading to her daughter's bedroom loft. Kim, Ron and Shego were scheduled to fly to Japan today but their flight wasn't until 11am so Ann had let the girls sleep in as long as possible. Kim, Shego and Ron had been awake very late last night watching some movies to celebrate the end of school so Ann knew the three could use the extra sleep. She had snuck a peek at them several times that night and watched as Shego and Kim had cuddled with Ron as much as they dared knowing that at any moment Kim's father might look in and spy them. It was even Ron with Ann's help that had carried Kim and Shego to their beds in Kim's room after they had fallen asleep in front of the TV.
When she had first learned of her daughter's relationship with Shego she had insisted that Shego stay in the guest room below but that only lasted a mere three days.
Kim who had never feared or had nightmares about anything started suffering from the occasional terrible nightmare and what was worse, even though she would rather die than admit it, Shego suffered from them too. Many a night Ann would pass by the guest room to hear Shego sniffling and crying in her sleep and go in to silently comfort the sleeping woman only to exit and hear the same sounds coming from her daughter's room. Finally not being able to take the pain that the short distance separating the two young women were obviously causing, she herself suggested that Shego move a bed into Kim's room with her only after reminding them of their promise to her to not have sex in the house. As far as Ann knew both women kept their promise but there were a few times that Ann knew about that they had came close to breaking it but managed to pull away before being lost in the passion of the moment.
Ann had wanted Ron to stay the night in the guest room but Ron had refused with the explanation that he had to get his luggage for tomorrow anyway so he might as well go home for the night.
Ann paused on the stairs and not for the first time wondered if Ron also suffered from being away from Kim and Shego's side at night. She worried about the young man almost constantly. More times than not he was in his home alone at night as his parents were hardly ever at home any more. Well alone except for his best friend Rufus of course. Ann shook her head, again not for the first time in wonder how a young man raised almost on his own from early on could have turned out to be so respectful, decent and caring as Ron had turned out to be.
"Kim is lucky to have him." Ann thought to herself. "And so is Shego."
Poking her head through the opening into Kim's room, Ann Possible saw the scene she was half way expecting. Shego was in Kim's bed with her but both young women were fully clothed in pajamas. Kim's being white with tiny fearless ferrets on them while Shego's was a dark green top with black bottoms. Mrs. Possible herself had undressed and then dressed the semi-asleep women after Ron had carried them up and then left.
The women had their arms wrapped around each other in their sleep and was cuddling close. Shego had in fact thrown one of her legs over Kim's as if afraid that if she didn't hold on tightly that Kim would vanish in the night.
It was beyond a cute and precious sight and once again Ann sighed with regret that she couldn't take a photograph of the 'Kodak' moment. She had no fear that her husband would come up some morning and catch the two women in such a potentially compromising position because her husband respected a young woman's rights to privacy and also was uncomfortable coming into his Kimmie cub's room at any time for fear of running into a man's worse fears, I.E. tampons or feminine hygiene products on display.
Ann knew there was no worries that the twins might catch Kim and Shego in this position because both twins had developed a healthy fear of Shego after accidentally hitting her one morning with one of their homemade rockets as Kim and Shego had started to come down the stairs from their room and Shego threatened to turn them into crispy critters if they ever came near Kim's room again.
But a photograph that might someday be discovered where ever Ann decided to hide it of the two cuddling like they were now? No as much as Ann would have loved a later reminder of this moment she couldn't risk it.
"Kimmie? Shego? It's time to wake up. Ron will be over any moment." She called out softly to the two.
Kim lying flat on her back yawned widely and turning her head found herself peering at close range into Shego's slowly blinking eyes.
"Morning Princess." Shego murmured and then kissed her. Kim briefly returned the kiss before pulling back.
"Ewww Shego. Morning breath." Kim stated.
"Are you saying my breath stinks?" Shego asked raising an eyebrow.
"I was talking about mine, not yours. My breath must be terrible." Kim said softly.
Shego kissed her on the nose. "I love everything about you, reeking breath and all." Shego informed her with a smile.
Suddenly remembering that it had been her mother's voice that had awoken her, Kim stiffened in Shego's grasp and slowly turned her head to find her mother watching them with some amusement.
"It's not what it looks like mom! We didn't have sex! I promise!" Kim said as she started to blush deeply.
"She can check the sheets if she doesn't believe us Kim." Shego informed her as she slowly and reluctantly released her sleeping partner.
Ann shook her head. "Shego, I trust your word and my daughter's." Ann looked sympathetically at them both. "Nightmares again last night?" She asked making reference that Shego was in fact in Kim's bed and not in her own that was a few feet away."
Kim nodded her head as she sat up in bed. "Ron, Shego and I were in some strange place and this dark shadowy figure leapt out and dragged away Ron. I turned to Shego to get her help but all I saw was her bloody body lying in a corner." Kim explained and started shivering from reaction to the dream.
Shego sat up and pulled Kim into her embrace. "It was just a dream Princess. We're not going to lose Ron to shadows and I'm not leaving either one of you either."
Mrs. Possible decided to let the women have a few moments of privacy and left to start breakfast.
Later that morning while Kim helped her father to load the car with Shego's and her luggage, Ann found herself alone with Shego in the kitchen.
"I wish you, Ron and Kimmie would hold off on this trip. I can't shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen." She said to Shego as she handed her a cup of coffee.
"You having a bad feeling or is it that Dr. Director is just worried about Ron deciding to stay with that school in Japan?" Shego asked.
Ann Possible folded her arms across her chest and frowned. "That is unfair Shego. Yes, I know Dr. Director and yes I know she is worried that Global Justice might lose Ron to Yamanouchi but I'm worried about you three myself. There are these horrible dreams that you and Kim have been having the last few weeks and..."
Shego looked up as Ann Possible paused. "What?"
"I've been having dreams of losing you three to something dark and shadowy myself." Ann finally admitted.
"They are just dreams. Dreams can't hurt you..."It was Shego's turn to pause as she almost involuntarily remembered that a month and half ago she along with Ron and Kim had battled killer nightmares and had almost lost their lives. Sitting the coffee cup down on the table Shego crossed the room and stood in front of Kim's mother and looked her in the eyes.
"Don't worry. I will make sure nothing happens to Ron or your daughter and I will bring them both back safely to you." She assured the older woman.
Shego was slightly shocked as Ann Possible swept her into her arms. "Make sure in addition to Ron you bring both of my daughters back safely Shego!"
Shego pulled away to look at her in question.
"Well it is almost like you are a daughter-in-law. I think of Ron as a son and you as a daughter. I want all of my family to come back from this trip safely."
Shego not exactly comfortable showing emotion angrily tried to blink back tears she could feel starting to form in her eyes.
As if sensing her thoughts Ann added. "It would be hard to explain if my husband heard it but when we are alone you can say it if you want to Shego."
Shego took a deep breath. "Thanks... Mom." Shego said and then pulled away as they could hear someone coming from the living room area towards the kitchen.
"Hey Mrs. Dr. P." Ron said happily as he walked in. Looking at Shego he said in a slightly huskier voice. "Shego."
"Is Mr. Possible still outside with Kim?" Shego asked almost casually.
"Yeah they are having trouble loading the car..." Ron managed to get out before Shego had her arms wrapped tightly around him and her lips pressed against his. As she pulled away she couldn't help a slight smirk at the glazed look in Ron's eyes.
"So why are you so late this morning? I figured you would be here to wake me and Kimmie up." She asked as if pouting.
Ron continued to stare forward with a goofy look on his face. "Wake... Up. Yeah it's woken up all right." Realizing that Kim's mom was watching him he tried to regain control of his reeling senses. Finally he held up a Bueno Nacho bag. "I made a quick stop at Bueno Nacho to pick up some food for the trip."
Shego frowned briefly and then had to hide a smile as she noticed that said bag was rustling slightly. "And where is Rufus this morning?" She asked trying to keep from smirking.
"Rufus? Rufus is..." Ron said as he pulled open his pants pocket and looked into it to find it was empty. Shego could see from her spot as Mrs. Possible started smiling as she too figured it out. Finally Ron stopped looking in his pockets for Rufus and looked to the bag in his hands.
"Awww, he wouldn't?" Ron asked in a voice that plainly stated he knew his naked pink friend would. Sitting the bag on the table he opened it. A very well fed Rufus stuck his head out. "Hi. Hi." Rufus said towards Shego and Mrs. Possible and then burped.
"Rufus! Those were supposed to be for us all!" Ron shouted.
"Sorry." Rufus stated and then burped again.
Shego laughed and walked past Ron towards the kitchen sink. As her back was to them Rufus held up a single tortilla chip dripping beans and cheese towards Ron. Ron shot a quick glance at Shego's back and grabbing the chip he quickly ate it.
Shego turned around with a small glass of water and sat it on the table in front of Rufus with a straw in it. Rufus smiled in gratitude and started sipping from the water. Reaching out Shego pulled Ron back into her grasp and kissed him deeply once again.
"Eww Ron." Shego said as she broke the kiss. "You ate Rufus's leftovers? You taste like Nachos and you didn't a moment ago."
"Um, you are what you eat?" Ron asked.
Shego pulled back slightly to stare at him. "Then shouldn't you taste like Kimmie?"
Shego could swear she almost heard a grinding noise as Ron's eyes ever so slowly rotated to look past her at Mrs. Possible. All the color left Ron's face as he turned pure white. "Ah...Um...Yeah... I should run back to Bueno Nacho and see about picking us up a Kimmie platter...Er, I mean A Grande platter for the plane trip!" Ron stuttered, his voice going up in pitch and volume in embarrassment. Turning he practically ran out of the room and was gone.
Shego couldn't hold back any longer and laughed.
"That was mean." Ann Possible said trying to keep a straight face and not laugh herself.
"I like to keep Ronnie and Kim on their toes." Shego said with a smirk.
"Is that some new sexual position I'm not aware of? Do you use a trapeze or just have them hold on to each other?" Ann Possible asked with a smirk of her own. It was now Shego's turn to have trouble speaking as she stared at Mrs. Possible, not from embarrassment like Ron but just shocked and flabbergasted that Kim's mom would go there. "I..um, better go and see if Kim and her father need help with the luggage." Shego finally managed to get out and left the kitchen.
Ann Possible and Rufus looked at each other for a moment before they both burst into laughter.
"I can't believe you pulled that line in front of Mrs. Dr. P." Ron stated after Mr. Possible dropped Kim, Shego and him off in front of a plane hangar at the airport.
"What line?" Kim asked curiously.
"Never mind Princess, as soon as we can get somewhere private Ron can show you what I asked him." Shego said with a smirk as she examined her surroundings. "Why are we here instead of the terminal?" She finally asked. "Didn't you book a flight on a normal airline?" She asked turning to look at Ron.
"No way!" Ron said proudly. "I booked us a private jet to take us to Japan."
Kim frowned at him. "Wasn't that a lot of money? I know Global Justice has been paying us for the last few missions we did for them but it wasn't that much money."
"I got my parents to release some of my Bueno Nacho royalties' money to add to what I got paid so I could afford to take my ladies in style." Ron stated as he tried to carry all of Kim's and Shego's luggage. "Why do women always have so much luggage?" He complained as he was nearly buried under an avalanche of suitcases.
"It's because us ladies know that we have to pre-plan for any clothing occasion." Shego told him as she lifted a few of the suitcases off of him and Kim grabbed a few more. "And what's more..." Kim added. "We're usually on a mission. I want a chance to relax and dress up and go out this time."
"I manage with just a few pair of pants and a shirt." Ron pointed out.
"Yeah?" Shego said with a snort. "So you are saying you don't want to see me and Kimmie in the lingerie we purchased for this trip?"
"Some of these bags have lingerie in them?" Ron asked.
Kim blushed but nodded her head.
"boo-yah! I'll never complain about having to carry too many suitcases again!" Ron said with a grin.
As the group entered the hangar, Shego could see a swift and sporty looking mini jet with the name Mything Airlines on its side.
"Mything Airlines? Isn't that kind of an ominous name for an airline?" She asked skeptically.
"Not when it happens to be my name." A woman's voice answered her from behind. Spinning around at the sound of the voice, Shego found herself facing a tall woman dressed in tight black leather pants with a white aviation style shirt flared open to reveal a bit of cleavage. "The names Mythe. I'm the owner and pilot of the aircraft. "
"Mythe? Just Mythe? What kind of name is that?" Shego asked.
"Gee, I don't know. What kind of name is Shego?" Mythe asked frowning slightly.
"Touché." Kim said hiding a grin.
Shego started to open her mouth to demand how the woman knew her name but stopped as Mythe raised an eyebrow. "Please tell me you were not about to ask me how I knew the name of a green skinned woman that has been all over television lately?"
Mythe gathered some of the bags Ron had sat down and began to load the plane.
Shego glanced over at Ron. "So let me get this straight. She'll be up in the cabin of the plane flying... And we have the entire passenger section all to ourselves?"
Ron nodded. "Yep I booked the flight so it'll just be us three."
"Eager to renew your membership in the mile high club Ronnie?" Shego smirked. "We just might be the first in this jet too. It looks brand new."
Kim quickly reached out to touch Shego's arm to get her attention as Mythe came walking back. Kim didn't want them to get kicked off the plane before they had actually made it into the plane in the first place. Mythe eyed Shego for a moment before snorting. "Hardly. Me and my girlfriend Tef christened this plane many a time when I first bought it. Bless whoever it was that invented the autopilot. After that flight Tef even wanted to name the airlines 'Shag airlines'." Mythe smile turned to a frown. "That reminds me, I still need to kill a friend of ours for getting Tef to watch those damn Austin Powers' movies."
"How is Tef doing anyway?" Ron asked as he picked up his suitcase and started to follow the woman pilot back to the jet.
Shego and Kim shared a look and rushed to catch up with the two. "And just how do you know Mythe and her girlfriend Tef?" Shego asked.
"Oh that? Funny story." Ron nervously laughed. "On one of me and Kim's old missions we had to bail out of a plane. Kim of course came down in a perfect landing but I got blown way off course and crashed through a private hangar. Luckily I landed on a table they were folding parachutes on so I didn't get hurt. And that is where I met Mythe and Tef." Ron rushed to finish. The fact he was now blushing like crazy was not lost on Kim or Shego.
"Uh huh. Just how did you meet them?" Kim asked her eyes narrowing.
"They were, um, working in the hangar. Yeah that's it!"
Mythe chuckled and Shego raised an eyebrow at the sound.
"What kind of work were they doing?" Shego prompted.
"Um..." Ron paused.
"We were in the backroom of the hangar making out. Ron heard some noises after he landed on the table and thought someone needed help so he rushed in." Mythe filled in for the tongue tied Ron.
"And you didn't tell me about this?!" Kim nearly shouted. "Wait! I remember that mission now. When I came looking for you I found you walking along the side of the road with this goofy look on your face and a nose bleed! Why didn't you tell me then?!"
"Awww come on Kim." Ron pleaded. "What was I going to say? You'll never guess where I almost landed or what I saw? My brain was suffering from blood loss!"
Shego smirk grew bigger. "I'm sure it was."
"I meant from my nosebleed!"
"There was no harm done. Frankly I think my girlfriend got off by being caught in the act. Since that day she keeps wanting to have sex underneath skylights or near open doors. I'm thinking she is hoping that Ron will crash by again someday." Mythe laughed and climbed into the jet. "We'll be ready to leave as soon as you three are all set." She added over her shoulder as she made for the cockpit.
Shego and Kim were too busy glaring at Ron to answer.

Yeah I know, not a lot of action in this part. I'm getting to it. I just love to write the innuendo between Ron, Kim and Shego. The next chapter we'll get to some action and horror I promise.
