Monique took a deep breath before she said, "Ok… So that time I was over at your house and saw the conversation between you and 'Selene' I had suspicions that it was Shego. I don't know why… I just did. So I asked Wade to do some digging. I told him my suspicions… and he confirmed them. I told him not to tell you because I wanted to talk to her about some stuff. So… we talked. She didn't hurt me or anything. As I was about to leave… Lauren appeared and I ended up playing Shego's new girlfriend to help get rid of her."

Kim slowly absorbed all of that information and the silence dragged on. At long last she finally asked with a slightly suspicious tone, "So the two of you aren't actually dating?"

"What?! No way GF! I do NOT swing that way. It doesn't bother me when people do, but honey I am not interested," she laughed.

"And she didn't hurt you at all?" Kim asked suspiciously.

"Of course not," came a voice from another room. Shego walked into her kitchen with a towel wrapped snuggly around her. She pulled another beer out of the fridge and said, "The only reason I fight is because it's my job. I have no reason to hurt Monique. She came and knocked on my door like a civilized person. I have no reason to harm her. Besides… we actually did have some things we had to talk about."

"Like what?" Kim asked quizzically. She gulped slightly as she tried to keep her eyes on the green woman's face, not the slight cleavage in view or those tantalizing thighs.

Shego could tell Kim was having a hard time, but she didn't tease the girl. Instead she said, "She just wanted to be sure I wasn't planning on using the information against you. And believe me, I don't. If I was going to do that I would've done it a LONG time ago."

Kim narrowed her eyes, "Then why DO you always talk with me?"

Shego grinned as she moved over beside the redhead and took a seat. She crossed her legs slightly and leaned towards the girl as she took a sip of her drink. "Because it's nice. It's hard to have a decent conversation with someone, and I just sort of knew that if I talked to you and you didn't know it was me, for once we could hold a conversation without you saying that you're going to defeat me, and blah, blah, blah, and I don't have to tease you either."

Kim grew silent. It wasn't just what her enemy was saying, but she was slightly distracted. Shego had leaned towards her a bit and exposed a bit more cleavage. Her mind started to try to fill in what the towel was hiding, before she managed to pull herself away from those thoughts. Not only that, but she thought the older woman smelled sweet. Kim almost slapped herself. Did she seriously just think that Shego smelled sweet? Was she actually being aroused just by being so close? She was mentally scolding herself when she realized that Shego and Monique were both waiting for her to say something.

Kim gulped slightly and blushed because of her thoughts. "O-Oh," was all she managed to mutter.

Shego almost teased Kim about liking the view, but she stopped herself. Instead, she stood up and said to Monique, "You and Kim can share the guest room if you plan to stay the night. I'm heading off to bed. I have work in the morning." She knew that Monique would've disapproved of the teasing, and she could also tell that teasing Kim might lead to a bit of trouble.

"Ok… Thanks," Monique said. She was really glad that Shego had decided not to tease Kim. It probably would've started a fight which might've lead to a few other things which Monique did not want to deal with at the moment. She grabbed the redheaded hero and pulled her towards the room that Shego had indicated.

Their hostess brought them each a change of clothes to sleep in and a towel for if they wanted to take a shower. She also pointed out the bathroom. With that she said a brief goodnight and left, going straight to her room to sleep.

Kim buried her face in her hands and she muttered, "What the hell is wrong with me?"

Monique took a seat beside her friend and asked, "What's up GF?"

"I can't believe it..."

"What?"

"I was fantasizing about Shego for a bit back there," she confessed, her face turning the darkest shade of red possible, even more so than her hair.

Monique smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you really do like her then."

Kim's head whipped up. She just didn't know how to accept that. Shego was her enemy. How could she possibly like her?

"I can't like her," Kim said.

"Why not?"

"She's the bad guy, I'm the good guy!" Kim replied.

"So? Turn her good then," Monique smiled.

"Mo… it isn't that easy," Kim groaned.

"I think you'd be surprised," Monique said to herself. Kim heard her, but she hadn't been loud enough for Kim to actually hear the words themselves.

Kim gave her a questioning look, asking her to repeat what she said, but Monique just smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to go take my shower. You cool off ok? Shego obviously isn't THAT bad. I mean, she's letting us stay the night and is acting like a good hostess, don't you think? If she were completely evil my ass would've been fried the moment I said my name."

"I… I guess…" Kim said slowly. When she went to say something else, she realized that Monique was already gone. A second later she heard the water turn on.

Kim thought things through for a bit before getting up and walking out of the room and towards Shego's bedroom. She knocked lightly on the door.

She heard a bit of movement before the door creaked open and Shego looked at her with half closed eyes. "Yes Pumpkin? Something wrong?"

"Can we… um… talk?" Kim asked nervously.
