AN: I'm truly sorry. This story is cancelled. I'm going to leave it up on for you, so that those who like the universe can see the first story I published in it. I do plan on using the universe more, for later stories. I just cannot write romance. Sorry. Here's what I managed to write.

Chapter 4: Reunion
It was the green hallway again. The black door at the far end was there as well. Kim walked towards it. She opened the door. Shouldn't there have been a trap? Oh well. Kim took a few steps into the room. The walls were a soft pink, and the layout seemed familiar, like she had been there before. The furniture was simple, nothing fancy, it looks like it was supposed to be used, rather than looked at. Kim walked to the center of the room. The door slammed shut behind her. Kim tried to turn around, and found she couldn't move.
"What took you so long, Pumpkin?"

Kim woke up on her slightly uncomfortable mattress, and pulled some clothes on. She glanced at the time. It was eight in the morning, so it was a little early to go outside. Kim started a pot of coffee, and walked into the living area. She picked up a novel she had borrowed from Jayden. She was drinking a cup of coffee when someone knocked at the door. Kim put her cup down, and opened the curtain.
Jayden was standing there. "Hey Kim. Could I come in?"
Kim smiled, "Sure.", and let her friend into the small home.
Jayden jumped onto the couch, and leaned forward. "I got a tip. You willing to look for stuff with me?"
Kim grabbed the pack she used to hold her gear. "Of course."

It was what Kim would come to call "an ordinary field trip". Kim and Jayden used one of the smaller passages surrounding Safe Haven to reach a whole abandoned college campus which had recently been dragged into the city without any lifeforms. The two girls decide to play it safe and stick together, because though it was daytime, Zombies could hide in the dark areas, especially libraries.
They walked up to the front gates. The college's logo was emblazoned across the gates, and there was a map next to it. Kim walked to the map.
Kim motioned for Jayden to come over. "Look here. Looks like I get something out of this too. There's a museum on campus, as well as a library."
Jayden studied the map for a few seconds. "The museum is closer to the gate, and art stuff would be heavier, so we'll hit the library first."
Kim nodded as they began to walk the half mile to the library. The library was the standard college fare: greco-roman columns in front, merely functional inside. None of the lights were working, as apparently the buildings were powered from outside. Kim and Jayden drew their pistols as Kim pushed open the door. The library's lobby was dusty, and the occasional spider web graced the top of a doorway. Jayden walked into the first room. As she took a step, the floor creaked. Jayden paused for a second, but nothing happened. She flipped on her light, and took another step in across the creaking floor. Kim followed, making sure nothing was hiding in the corners. Jayden looked around the corner, and turned to look at the bookshelves. She began pulling down the various books and checking their condition. She turned to Kim. "Keep an eye out. It'll take me an extra few seconds to pull out my gun."
Kim nodded, and waited while Jayden pulled a few books she decided on, and dropped them into her bag. Every once in a while Jayden would check the corners and go to the next shelf. After an hour or so, Jayden spoke up. "I've got the good ones. Let's go."
They walked out of the library without much trouble, and admired the fountain at the center of campus as they walked past it. The fountain was running; it had its own power source. The abstract design of the thing kept it from being annoying to anyone walking by, or sitting near it; and the shape caused the water to seem to twist as it fell. "Pity I can't bring that along. It's pretty." Kim said as she turned away to continue walking.
Jayden looked over her shoulder at Kim. "Maybe it was a landmark of sorts, so there are miniatures at the gift shop."
Kim looked up at the library, which now loomed over them. "We'll look." She drew her pistol again, flicked on the light, and pushed open the door. "It's just like a field trip." The museum was in the same condition as the library. "Well, a field trip to a horror movie anyway." She amended.
Jayden smirked. "Oh yeah. Back in elementary school, with the other little snot-nosed brats, just entering abandoned homes with the rest of the class." She paused for a second. "Actually, those were fun times. I kinda miss..." She trailed off.
Kim snapped her fingers in front of Jayden. "Focus, Jade. We've got stuff to steal from dead people."
Jayden snapped out of her daze after a few seconds. "Whoa. Deja-vu. Reminded me of my mom there."
Kim smiled. "Let's go. She pushed open the first door, and walked into the room. Jayden followed close behind. Kim grabbed a few paintings that looked nice, and one that would have been under high security had there been power. She put the paintings in her bag, and turned to Jayden. "Let's go. It's getting late."
Jayden nodded, and turned away. She was too absorbed in her own thoughts to hear the floor crack beneath her. Kim heard it, however, and pulled out her grapple. Kim shouted after Jayden. The floor began to give way. Kim jumped, the bags on her back giving her a little extra momentum. Kim shot the grapple at the ceiling as she caught Jayden. Zombies lined the basement where the floor had fallen. Jayden was in shock, mostly because she hadn't expected Kim to be able to do such a thing.
"I'll just hope the paintings can take the roll." Kim said to herself. She swung on the grapple and released the hook. She hit the window flying, holding Jayden over her shoulder. Kim let go of Jayden in mid-air, and both girls landed safely without damaging their scavenged materials.
Jayden turned to Kim. "Were all your field trips this exciting, Kim?"
Kim smiled. "Not really, but I think we'll skip the gift shop for now."
The girls ran back to Safe Haven, chuckling, oddly enough, at the near death experience they shared.

They stopped at Jayden's place first. Kim motioned to the couch. "May I?"
Jayden nodded. "Of course. Do you want something to drink?"
Kim sat on the couch. "Coffee." She leaned back for a second, and then sat up rapidly.
Jayden raised an eyebrow. "What'd you just realize?"
Kim didn't answer immediately, but instead pulled out some of the paintings from their recent raid onto the newly reformed campus. She pulled out a painting of a teenager with blue hair, very pale skin, and red eyes. The background was a deep purple. Kim placed the painting on the table, and looked a Jayden. "I figured I owe you a bit. This painting reminded me a bit of you, and well, I figured you might like it."
Jayden smiled. "That's a lot of figuring. But you are right."

AN: That's it. That's all I managed to write before I found I couldn't write the next scene.
Here's a quick synopsis of what was coming up. Right after that scene was going to be a scene in Xavier's bar, where Kim meets Shego. Neither of them was from the same universe. Later chapters would show the two growing together over time, ending with a sappy kissing scene, with a blank slate ending, kinda like Calvin and Hobbes, in a sense.
To those crying I'm just being lazy, I feel the need to point out that I'm a full time student, and as a result, have little free time. This, in combination with the inability to write the rest of the chapter, is why I'm ending the story. Again, I am truly sorry. I hope you enjoyed what I did write. I'll see you when I can come up with a non-romance story.
