Author's Note: Sorry I'm so slow, but I'm working on it xD I know I keep saying to people that I hope to be publishing chapters soon. During breaks or weekends I think I'll actually get writing done, and then I'm an idiot and don't. The sad statement is that most of the time I get work done while I'm at school during my TA (teacher's assistant) block. So yeah... I apparently get more work done at school than at home... and that's saying something sad. I do fanfic writing at school and school writing at home, that feels a little twisted... but whatever xD Sorry it's taking so long, but I'm trying to get more of my stories updated! As soon as I finish one of the current ongoing stories I'm going to post another that I've started working on separately. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this one, it kinda jumps around a bit, and some of the dialogue might be a little confusing. Just send me a message or something if there's anything you're confused about :) I hope you enjoy!

EDIT: There were some inconsistencies pointed out to me about the times when Jean and Shego dated and such, so this has been edited. (Ch. 27 shall have a full account of what I changed)

Kim slowly poked her head around the slightly ajar door, hoping a ball of plasma wouldn't come rushing towards her head.

"Sh-Shego?" she asked, her voice a mere squeak.

"What?" the green woman hissed.

"Is it really that bad that we have to share a room?"

Shego wouldn't look at her, facing the wall with her guitar in hand. "Of course it's that bad."

"But we had fun on the beach… right?"

"So? I was beating the hell out of you."

"I thought you had forgiven me…"

"Some things aren't easily forgiven. I can put up with you for a bit, I can give you my fake hostess smile. I can act like everything is fine, but there is no way I'm going to share a room with you," she growled.

Kim gulped. She stepped into the room slightly. "I'm sorry… I really am. I didn't mean to-"

"Didn't mean to what? Say how disgusted you were of people like me while I'm only a few feet in front of you? Didn't mean to hit a sore topic? Well you did." Shego set her guitar down as her arms flexed slowly. She made sure that it was out of burning distance as she tried to keep the flames emanating from her to a minimum, but she was having a hard time.

"I didn't mean to offend you. I was just stressed," the redhead replied in a quiet voice. "It's not that I actually dislike gays and stuff, but I guess I was just in denial."

"…about what?" Shego asked, though it took her a minute. Her teeth were grit, but she managed to stop the plasma from radiating off her.

"Well, I guess I had been sort of attracted to you when you were being nice and dancing with me and I just was shocked when I found out it was a girl and I felt cheated," Kim said in a rush. She sounded sort of like she was blaming Shego, but she also sounded like it was her own fault as well. She took her anger out on the wrong person.

The room went dead silent. Kim took a few steps toward Shego and stopped.

"Shego…?" Kim asked.

"What?" she snapped.

Kim took an involuntary step back. "I just… You fell silent… and I…" she trailed off.

Shego slowly let out a long sigh. "Look, Princess, there are some things I can deal with, but staying in the same room with you is not one of them."

"Do you at least forgive me?"

The green woman slowly turned and her eyes met with Kim's. There was this hopeful look in her eyes, an almost whimper. It wasn't even that one horrid look she'd gotten when she was asked to clean up after the Lorwardian invasion. No… This one was real.

"I… guess."

Kim's face lit up like a Christmas tree and she threw herself at the villain.

Shego managed to just barely dodge, allowing the girl to fall onto the floor. "Just because I forgive you doesn't mean we can be all touchy feely now." Picking up her guitar and placing it in its case before talking it and walking out the door. "I'll be out. You can sleep here or whatever."

The redhead wanted to be happy, but she was a little confused.

Shego didn't just leave the room, but she left the house, walking towards the beach with both her guitar in hand and a beach chair in the other.

She set up in the rocky area they'd sparred at before. There weren't nearly as many people on that part of the beach anymore, so now she had it all to herself. Hopefully no more interruptions would fall upon her. She just wanted to relax, and it was hard if she couldn't do it in peace and quiet.

Kim took a seat on the side of the bed. She groaned and flopped backward. "Come on… I thought we had finally gotten somewhere earlier today."

"Where'd you finally get?" asked two similar voices.

She looked at the door for a moment before going back to staring at the ceiling. "Hey boys."

The two Wegos asked again, "So what were you talking about?"

Sighing the redhead muttered, "I thought Shego and I were finally on normal footing with each other. I thought she wasn't mad at me anymore."

"Well, couldn't it be the fact that the two of you are enemies?" asked one.

"Yeah, she might just be using that as part of the front to why she can't really be nice to you anymore. She's probably trying to get you to forget that she's a villain for now so that you don't try to arrest her or whatever," said the other.

Kim slowly sat up shaking her head. "She didn't say anything about the fact that we're enemies. She was only talking about me saying harsh things about people who are gay…"

"That has always been a big thing with sis."

"Yeah, she used to have people say stuff like that all the time about her."

"She never took it too well."

She looked at the two twins, something nagging at her. "Even so, she said she sort of forgave me… so why is she still in such a grumpy mood?"

"Did you interrupt her guitar playing?"

"Yeah, so?" Kim asked, still confused.

"That's probably the worst thing you could do with her. Not even saying shit about her sexuality can put her in such a bad mood. It probably has to do with Daniel."

"Daniel? Who's Daniel?"

"Her…. Umm, ex-boyfriend. He used to play guitar and taught her how."

Kim knit her eyebrows. "Boyfriend? I thought she was gay?"

"Well… she dated a couple girls before she met Daniel. After him she never dated another guy. She ended up dating Jean who she'd been friends with for a few years. He was the first and last guy. She doesn't trust men anymore – and she never really liked them to begin with," the Wegos trailed off. "He's not someone you should ever bring up, by the way. She won't hesitate to take you down."

"But why would she be playing her guitar? Hasn't she been in a good mood?"

Both of the Wegos diverted their gazes.

She narrowed her eyes. "Alright, speak."

"She kind of met him on this beach a couple years back and it's where they would hang out most of the summer."

"This beach?"

The two nodded.

"Is she always reminded of him when she comes here or what?"

They shuffled her feet. "Not… usually. He owns a club here… and a bit earlier before you arrived… well… she received a call from him. He was inviting her out again."

"What'd he do to her that was so bad? Why would he call her if they broke up?" Kim was standing up now. Her hands were clenched and she was already not liking the guy and she didn't even know why they broke up.

"She kind of dumped him because he cheated on her… with two other girls… on their one year anniversary."

"We probably shouldn't tell you this but-"

"-he was also her first 'love'. He broke her heart."

"She didn't date anyone for-"

"-a year after that. It was a dark time."

"So why the fuck does he want to see her now after he did such a harsh thing to her?" she growled.

"Well… he supposedly never stopped liking her and wants her back. He says he's changed. He invited her to his club tomorrow night, and she's been brooding over it."

Kim's eyes widened. "Do you think she'll go?"

The twins bit their lips. "Well… she liked him the most out of all the people she dated, excluding Jean… so it's possible."

Edit: It has come to my attention that part of this was a little confusing so I went back and edited like a line or two. It was just the part about Shego's relationship with Daniel. If you have any questions let me know and i'll try to clear up any misunderstandings.
