That caught the mother's attention and she understood in an instant what the glare from her daughter was for, but she kept her mouth shut as she listened to the description.
"He wore black pants, a green vest, a fedora with small green horns, and his mask covered almost his whole face. He was really gentlemanly too. Compare to most guys there that asked me to dance he didn't act lewd or stare at my chest the whole time," she said wistfully.
Isabel raised her eyebrow for a moment and asked, "Oh?" She wanted to shoot her daughter a look, but she refrained. Instead she said, "I'm sorry. That isn't someone I know."
"Wait!" said Monique. "That description sounds familiar!"
Everyone turned to look at her.
"I was talking with some of the fashion designers who were talking about their designs. There was this one snooty looking guy who was bragging about his teacher's amazing talents and how she'd even made a beautiful suit for this person to display. Everyone thought he was lying since they never saw the outfit. He was really upset since they were calling him and his teacher a liar. I mean, I honestly don't believe them because Jean is one of the most famous designers out there! They just couldn't accept the fact that the clothes existed, considering the fact that the guy kept insisting that the suit was made for a girl so that she'd seem like … a… guy…" Monique slowly trailed off as she said those words.
Kim was staring wide eyed at the moment, and Shego was glad she was currently with her back to the while in the water so that they couldn't see her cringe.
"I was dancing…. with a girl?" Kim asked in confusion. "What the hell?!"
The boys all heard the yell and they called over the wall, "Hey, is everything ok over there?"
"Yes Jason, everything is fine! Now keep an eye on your boys. We don't want Mego trying to sneak over here to take a peek at our guests, and keep the twins from trying to hop the wall too!"
"Yes dear," he replied. They could hear a yelp as the three boys Isabel had just said to watch were pulled into the water.
"So I was dancing with a girl that entire time?" she asked with a shocked face.
Shego had finally managed to compose herself and turned around asking, "Something wrong with that Princess?" She cocked an eyebrow but wasn't smiling, letting Kim know that she was asking a serious question.
"Of course there's something wrong with that! I am NOT interested in women! She played me! Why the hell would she do that?! That's just cruel. I mean how many girls' hearts has she toyed with? I seriously thought that if I was in a relationship with a guy like that then I might actually get a happy ever after… and then it turned out to be a fucking girl?!" Kim said in an enraged tone. "Stupid, fucking lesbians!" She rarely cussed, so the fact that she'd just dropped the word 'fuck' so easily within a few seconds showed how mad she really was.
The instant that last sentence left her mouth, Shego got up and out of the water, pulling a towel out of her bag and wrapping it around herself and saying with a harsh tone, "Well I'm sorry you think there's something wrong with us. I better leave quickly before I do something to incur your wrath too." She picked up her clothes and walked into the next room, slamming the door shut behind her.
Monique and Kim stared after her in confusion. They didn't get what Shego was saying. Her mother just sighed and said, "Well, there goes the happy hiking trip."
Kim and Monique both looked at Isabel for an answer.
"You don't get it do you?" she asked, sighing again.
Both shook their heads.
"I guess she never really had a reason to tell her enemy… but she's a lesbian, and you have no idea how much grief she's gotten for it. She was always picked on in high school because of her skin color and her sexual orientation. At some point she just sort of snapped. It was her senior year of high school and some guys were picking on her because she was a lesbian and green skinned. They didn't care that she was a part of Team Go who'd saved their city a few times, nor did they care that we're one of the most influential families in the city. Instead they made fun of her and thought that she wouldn't retaliate since she was a hero. Let's just say that was when she finally decided to turn evil. The boys who were making fun of her…. Lost their most important…. Assets that day. She's somewhat sensitive about the whole lesbian thing. Even my husband and my eldest son don't accept her. Mego and the Wegos always looked up to her, so no matter what she does they still admire her. Mego won't admit it, but the twins don't care if people know that they really love their older sister."
Both of their eyes widened. Kim had definitely hit on the sorest topic of all without realizing it. She was about to go after the thief, but Isabel grabbed her arm. "It's best if you don't. She's not going to be anywhere near here. She's probably already halfway back to the house. And even when we return she's not going to be there. For once I actually thought she was going to stay here without trying to run…. So I didn't slash the tires on her motorcycle this year."
Kim and Monique both looked at Isabel with a, "You slashed her tires?" look. They could tell that she was telling the truth about Shego being gone, so they didn't protest. Instead, they asked, "Why would you slash her tires?"
"Every year she typically tries to run before she's stayed a week with us. To prevent that I would slash her motorcycle's tires. Of course I always had spares, but I would keep them hidden until the week was up and then I'd fix it for her so she could leave. If I didn't we'd never get to see her. This year she told me that she would stay the whole week for once, and that she'd prefer if I stopped injuring her ride. So… I did. She really did seem like she'd stay this time. But, I guess in this situation it's probably a good thing I didn't. If you tried to approach her now… well… you saw the mini demonstration of how she wakes our family up… imagine what it'd be like to feel that."
Kim and Monique shivered. It sure as hell would not feel pleasant.
When they'd all gotten dressed and ready to leave, they found that Shego had indeed left. The guys asked what'd happened, but they were left without answers.
The Wegos pouted. They rarely got to see their older sis as is. Mego pretended that he didn't care, but he was just as depressed as the twins. Jason and Hego didn't care much. Ron sighed in relief knowing she was gone. He'd been tense the entire time that Shego was there; afraid she'd suddenly attack them all.
Upon returning to the house they found out that their suspicions were correct. Shego was gone.
