"Woah! KP you look amazing!" Ron said with a giant grin.

Kim twirled around in her shocking red and black dress. It was slick and formfitting, but still breathable. "You think so?" she asked with a grin. She was glad that after their break up she and Ron were still best friends. They still saved the world together and everything.

"Girl, I agree with him, you look great!" Monique smiled. "I told you that dress would be perfect!" She'd chosen everyone's outfits, and they were quite happy with it. In fact, she'd done more than just choose them; she'd MADE them, the design and everything.

"The ball is tomorrow night, so we should probably get going you guys. It's a long drive to the house," said Kim.

They all agreed and packed their things, being careful to take special care of their nice clothes and their masks. Then they all packed into the car and headed off. Ron waved at his little pal Rufus who he had to leave behind. The naked mole rat was waving goodbye from the driveway. No pets were allowed, so he grudgingly parted.

"I still can't believe Hego invited us to such a formal event. I mean, I wonder if he's coming as a super hero or his Bueno Nacho self," Ron said.

Kim shrugged, "I heard we were invited as his way of thanks for helping out in Go City sometimes."

"Who cares the reason? We're getting into one of the biggest galas out there guys! I've heard about this particular ball, it's always one of the best! The theme is almost always different. They never use the same theme twice in a row! I heard this is the first year they're ever attempting a masquerade!" Monique said with a giant squeal. She'd read about it in one of the fashion magazines she was subscribed to. Almost anybody who's a somebody in the fashion world was going to be there and sporting a design of their own creation to show off.

Kim smiled at her two friends. She was glad she could bring them both. Monique had been practically dying to go to one of these balls for the past three years since she'd heard about it, but getting an invitation was almost impossible. Ron was just excited since at some point Monique had mentioned how the food was always some of the best in the entire world, and it was free.

Kim wasn't sure how she felt about it. A ball typically meant dancing, and dancing wasn't something she liked to do with a bunch of strangers, especially if there was a slow dance. She hadn't dated anyone since her break up with Ron, so she wasn't sure how she'd react if someone asked her to dance.

With an inaudible sigh she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind, focusing on the road before her, and a little on her excited friends as the two squealed over the party.

They drove for two hours before Kim switched with Monique so she could rest some. Those two continually switched off driving, neither sure whether they should let Ron drive. He wasn't terrible, but they didn't want to risk it.

After Ron's initial excitement when they left, he drifted into a deep sleep, only occasionally muttering something about food in his sleep.

With Ron asleep, the two girls had time to talk.

"So GF, you sure you're ok?"

"I'm fine Monique. Ron and I broke up a year ago. And hey, if I meet someone at the dance that could only be a good thing right?" she asked, though slightly hesitant.

Monique bit her lip and said, "Well, I'm not worried about any guys doing things to you. I mean, you're Kim Possible. You can take care of yourself. I'm just worried that you're going to be thinking about things you shouldn't be. You need to enjoy the party alright?"

"I know Mo," she sighed, "It's not like I want anything bad to happen, but whenever I think of a dance I remember prom, and whenever I think of Team Go I think of Shego and the possibility of being attacked. The only time when I ever really talk to them is when I help them on a mission."

"Don't worry so much about it! Hego said he'd been going for years and nothing ever happens! I bet no villain dares enter that ball considering that Team Go is always there!"

"I- I guess," Kim managed.

The two fell silent for a bit before Monique decided they were going to change the topic. They started talking about their dresses and fashion. Anything to keep Kim's mind off the negative things.

So, after 10 hours of driving, the three arrived at the manor at 7 am in the morning. They'd promised to get there early to help with the set up a little and other tedious things. Hego also said that he wanted to introduce his parents to them.

When they entered the front door, they were greeted by the Wegos, or one of their copies. The whole place was filled with the twins who were working on making sure the place was perfect.

When the door opened, every single Wego popped their head out to look and said, "Welcome," all at once.

That caused Hego and Mego to materialize out of nowhere, along with a man who looked like an older version of Hego, and a woman who looked scarily similar to a green skinned villain they know.

"Hello Kim Possible. Welcome!" Hego said with a hearty smile.

Mego also said, "Hey, glad you could make it," although his tone seemed disinterested.

The older man said, "Hello there. You must be Kimberly, Ronald, and Monique. I've heard things about you all form my boy here," he smiled proudly as he pat his eldest son's shoulder. "My names Jason Go and this is my wife Isabel Go. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He held out his hand and Kim shook it firmly.

They were showed around the manor and where they could place their things. Ron would have his own room while Kim and Monique would share. When they asked about it being alright to stay in the manor where the ball would be held, the Go's laughed and it turned out that Hego had forgot to mention that the house was theirs and that they were the ones who hosted the gala. In fact, they were the richest family in Go City, and the most influential. They were practically royalty.

After settling in, they helped work on the set up. Nobody brought up Shego, and since nobody brought up Shego, nobody expected her to be there. Nobody but Isabel who'd kept the information to herself. She hadn't known that her son had invited her daughter's rival to the ball, but she hoped that her daughter wouldn't find out about it until the ball had ended. She didn't need the two fighting and possibly ruining the evening.

Two hours before the ball was to begin, the Team Go and Team Possible (including Monique) went out for lunch and would return just before the party started so they could dress.

Kim had a strange feeling that something was going to happen that night. She didn't exactly think it'd be a bad thing, just… something unexpected. She was hoping that she was just over thinking, the thought of something unknown happening didn't forebode well. She'd soon find out later that night that she had a reason to be wary.
