Kim was hugging Ron in a sigh; it had been so long.
"It's nice to see you"
"It's been too long"
"So what are you doing here?"
The young man laughed as he took a step back.
"Straight to the point. Did you really think I wouldn't come to see you? You've been shot! And you didn't call me!"
"I didn't want to disturb you, you're always busy"
"Just like you, but if something had happened to me you'd have wanted to know, you'd have wanted to come!"
"True"
"Your mother knew better so she called me; I took the first plane once I heard the news"
"Where were you this time?"
She said walking back to her living room, her old friend right behind her.
"South Africa, some clients wanted to go dive with sharks"
"Did you stay on the boat? I don't remember if you are scared of sharks or not"
"Oh no, I had to test everything to make sure it was safe and that it was exactly what my clients wanted"
"I'm impressed"
"You know I'm not as scared of things as I was before. A big shark is always impressive, but if you follow the rules and stay in the cage, it's fine"
She just smiled at him before going back to being a good hostess.
"Do you want anything to drink?"
"Sure, do you have some coke?"
"Ok, I'll be right back"
"No, don't bother I'll come in the kitchen with you"
As soon as Kim stepped in the room her cat came and brush herself against her legs, a second later she saw the intruder in her home.
Her fur changed, her hair raised and she started to hiss.
Ron froze, not sure of what he should do; he looked at KP for some support.
She was just laughing and couldn't help herself.
"You're not scared of a shark but you're of my cat?"
"I'm not in a cage, nor is it. You should think about it if she reacts like this with all your guests"
The cat got worse, she screamed and started to go forward, her head bent slightly to the side, and walking a little strangely.
Shego was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe; he was still the buffoon.
She was disappointed to see Kimmie do what was necessary so her cat wouldn't jump Ron.
She asked him to go back the living room; which he did. He backed away slowly never turning his back to this beast.
Kim ushered the cat away as soon as she could, the fur ball then went out on the balcony.
The green woman moved fast and closed hers; there was no way she'd let that thing get into her flat. It was fun to watch but she didn't want to live it.
The red head went back to her friend with a can of coke and a smile.
"It's okay, the danger is gone"
He thanked her for the drink and waited for her to join him on the couch before speaking again.
"So why didn't you call me? Really?"
"I don't know. I just…I didn't want to disturb you or anything"
"Kim P, do you have any idea how I reacted when you mother called me to tell me you had been shot? I freaked!"
"I'm sorry"
She looked away, but not for long, he put his hand on her knee and she looked back at him.
"Kin, I know things have changed, we've changed, but even if things didn't work out between us as a couple, we'll always be friends. So next time something happen, you call me"
"Okay"
"Good. Now, where do you want me to put my stuff; I left everything in the car"
"Your stuff?"
"Yes, your mother told me to grab what I needed to live here a few weeks, to make sure you're okay"
Kim Possible jaw went slack for a second before she clenched her teeth.
When Kim got out of her room, as pissed as when she got in, it didn't help her to see Ron on her couch, with some luggage around him, he was making himself confortable.
He looked up when she got back in.
"Did you talk to your mother?"
"Yes"
She crossed her arms while looking out a window.
"So ?!"
She sat on her couch slowly, avoiding her friend's mess.
"Nothing interesting. I see you made yourself confortable"
"Yes"
He scratched the back of his head.
"I thought I'd save some time with you if I did that before you came out"
"For the love of…!"
Shego got up and walked back and forth in front of her screens, mumbling in an angry tone before getting back to her chair, facing the images of her neighbor.
"Come on Kimmie, kick his ass!"
He was walking all over her, and the green woman wondered when the blond had started to be manipulative.
There he was again touching her.
Did things change that much since she went…on vacation.
Kim jumped slightly when she heard a bang coming from next door, she look at Ron, he had heard it too.
"Do the people next door always make so much noise?"
"I don't know, I'm not usually at home at that time of the day"
She got up and walked up to the wall.
Ron asked a question again.
"Don't you know your neighbors?"
"Not really, I see Mister Thomson from down the hall once in a while but that's it"
It was strange, she was feeling something…
She put her hand on the wall for a second, before shacking this feeling off and going back to her guest.
"So how long are you planning to stay here?"
"I took two weeks off"
"You can stay here five days"
"Twelve"
"My last offer is a week"
"Done"
She couldn't wait to get back to work; maybe once she did she could convince Ron to leave earlier. Though there was a good side to this situation.
"So Ron, what are you going to cook for us today?"
She was in a rush; the goons would show up soon for their night shift.
"You are sure this is going to work?"
"Yes, you will be able to take off your ankle bracelet. But you still won't tell me why you want if off so bad suddenly"
"It's not sudden; I hate feeling like I'm on a leach"
"What about the video cameras, won't that cause a security breach?"
"No, when I'll cut it I'll be in there, and that means they'll be safe"
"You still won't tell me what you want to do in here?"
"No"
"But you promised, you won't do anything bad?"
"Chill Nerdlinger, I'll keep my word, Kimmie is safe"
"What about Ron"
"I promise you I won't hurt anyone. Trust me"
He just gave her a look throw his webcam, it was Shego after all, but they had talked and came to an agreement. It was a risk but he was going to take it; he didn't think the thief would hurt the red head, after all the research he'd done, he came to the conclusion that if Shego really wanted to hurt Kim she could have done it a long time ago. He just hoped the electric tower incident didn't change things too much for the green woman.
Shego looked up suddenly; she heard a noise coming from her door.
"They are here. I'll speak to you later"
With that she just cut of the conversation and the window on the computer.
Everything was ready for tonight.
It was now or never, it was the middle of the night and she had put on her catsuit.
It felt so good to wear it again; best clothes ever.
She hope the nerdlinger didn't cross her; she activated the program he gave her to freeze the frames of the video cameras, so this way the doofus wouldn't see her.
She climbed through her window, without making a noise, before making her way to the princess balcony along the wall of the building.
One she was in front of the window she came face to face with the cat.
It looked at her, head turned to the side, as if it was sizing her up.
She didn't think it was a good idea to move to fast and spook the fur ball, so she tried to make friends with it by whispering to it and getting slowly closer.
"It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you. Everything is fine"
Her hand made contact and she started to pet it, then she picked it up.
The cat purred in her arms, she looked in the apartment, she could see the buffoon sleeping.
"So kitty, let's teach him a lesson"
She put the nice cat down and opened the window in a second.
Still in silence she got in, looked around for a while; after a few minutes she was right next to the blond, a little box in her left hand, a brush and a wicked smile on her face.
The cat was curious, she went to look in the box, it was filled with a black liquid; she sneezed right into it, coloring her nose and spilling some on the couch.
The cat took a few steps backs and started to clean herself, putting some black ink on her paws in the process, while Shego was painting the face of the blond.
He moved a little while the brush was on his face, but didn't wake up.
Finally satisfied with her work Shego stepped back to look at it one last time.
She couldn't stay in here for too long, but a part of her didn't want to leave yet; she stared at Kimmie's bedroom's door but she just walked out. Leaving the window slightly open and the cat inside, she made her way back to her room and put back on the security system for the GJ agents.
She changed one last time before going to bed, and went to sleep with a small smile on her face.
