Author's Note: Well, as I kind of figured would happen, now that I'm back in school I'm sitting here on a computer and actually typing again xD It's sad that I only have motivation to write whilst in school not doing anything... Sorry if it seems a bit meh... I'm working towards the ending and I'm trying to work out the kinks. Well, hope you all enjoy :)
SG: So, everyone in the hospital treating you well still?
KimPossible: Yes. You can stop asking me that every day.
SG: Just checking. Things can change you know.
KimPossible: It's been six days since you left. Believe me, nothing has changed.
SG: I'll be checking with blondie and Mo to be sure about that.
KimPossible: Yeah, Yeah.
Kim smirked as she leaned against her pillow. She was glad that Mo had snuck in her Kimmunicator. She had to be careful when she used it, but she hadn't been caught so far.
"Talking to Shego?" Ron asked nervously.
"Oh come on, you can't still be scared of her. I mean honestly, you and she went on a mission together, and she DIDN'T kill you." Kim rolled her eyes and looked at her phone as a reply came in.
SG: Do you know when you'll be out of the hospital yet?
KimPossible: A month. I'll be right back, talking with Ron.
"I know… but… still… you and I have a history with her, mainly revolving around us being on opposite sides. One mission can't change the fear ingrained in me," the blonde boy mumbled.
The redhead sighed, "Well… I guess I understand a little."
Ron shuffled his feet a little and looked about, seemingly unsure.
"Is there… something else wrong?"
He scratched the back of his head and said with a slight frown, "I know you two are friendly now and stuff, but… Shego is still a villain."
The smile Kim had been wearing slowly fell. "I… forgot about that."
Ron sighed, "Kim, I honestly want what's best, but you have to be careful if you stay in contact with her. GJ is still on the lookout for her, I don't want you getting caught up in any cross fire."
"I know… but GJ doesn't have to know, right? I mean, Shego can evade them forever. She's already made an art out of it."
He rested a hand on her arm and said, "Yeah, just be careful alright? While GJ may say that they want to talk to Shego because she saved you and to find out the whole truth, there's no guarantee that they won't take her in then and there for the crimes she's committed previously. Even I'm against them taking her in right now."
Kim smiled weakly, "Thanks Ron, I just, I don't know what to do from here."
He pat her arm gently, "Don't worry too much yet. You have a month before you leave the hospital. Sure some of the agents may try to question you, but you can probably keep them out by having the doctor's say you aren't well enough for questioning. Take it easy for now, you'll think of something, you always do… and in case you need help, I can enlist Mo and Wade." He grinned warmly at her, "We all have your back KP."
"Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much," she said, leaning forward and wrapping her arms around him. "You guys are the best."
Ron left a few minutes later and Kim went back to her Kimmunicator, keeping an ear and eye on the door to be sure none of the hospital staff noticed.
KimPossible: Ok, I'm back.
SG: Took you long enough~
KimPossible: Oh shush, Ron and I were having an important conversation.
SG: The buffoon? He can hold a conversation?
KimPossible: Come on, stop being so mean to him. Can't you even try to be nice to him?
SG: Sure I could try, but seriously, what'd be the point? It's not fun playing nice.
KimPossible: Never mind.
SG: Works for me. So, an entire month huh?
KimPossible: Yeah. There was some major damage and they wanted to be sure I wasn't out there trying to save the world like this.
SG: They're smart.
KimPossible: Say… can you… you know, not try to steal anything and stuff while I'm out of commission? I mean, GJ is already looking for you, and if they ever do catch up… it'd be nice if you haven't added anything onto your list of crimes.
SG: Don't worry, I'm not going back to work for a while. I told Dr. D that I'm going to stay on vacation a while longer. He whined and bitched for a while, but he gave up when he realized I wasn't listening anymore.
KimPossible: Really?
SG: No.
KimPossible: Wait… what? No what?
SG: He never actually stopped bitching and stuff, I just hung up.
KimPossible: Wooooow.
SG: Hey, I'm not going to sit there and listen to him for more than five minutes. Even that was trying my patience.
KimPossible: Yeah, yeah. So, have you already gone home, or are you still in Middleton?
SG: I'm still in Middleton.
KimPossible: Still? Be careful. GJ is loitering around the place, all looking for you. They figure if you really did save me you'd be sticking around to make sure I actually lived.
SG: They think that I can't sneak past them?
KimPossible: Oh no, I talked to some of the agents, they highly doubt they'd ever catch you. They just have to say they're trying. They don't want Doctor Director or Will Du riding their ass about it.
SG: They're smart agents.
KimPossible: I'll let them know you think so.
SG: Yeah, don't even think about it. Then they'll know we're in contact.
KimPossible: Fine. Anyways, it's starting to get late. I'm going to get some sleep.
SG: … It's 7pm.
KimPossible: I… have a lot to think about.
SG: Still having nightmares?
KimPossible: Fewer… but I have other stuff to think about.
SG: Like?
Kim bit her lip and frowned slightly and slowly typed out her response, making sure she worded it carefully.
KimPossible: Just stuff with school and whatnot. I'll talk to you later. G'night.
SG: Ok… goodnight.
With a sigh the redhead hid her Kimmunicator in a box of chocolates Mo had brought it in. She slid into a more comfortable position and stared at the ceiling. She had a lot to think about, school being the least of her worries. She really needed to figure out what was with her and Shego and how they could possibly talk after she got out of the hospital. They were on opposite sides; they shouldn't even be talking right now.
Groaning she closed her eyes. Thinking was taking too much effort. Maybe sleep was the answer at the moment.
Shego frowned as she put her phone down on her hotel room table. She lounged back on the bed. Kim did not seem like herself. Think about school? Yeah right. That wouldn't trouble the hero so much that they had to stop talking. It had to be something else.
She pulled herself up off the bed and walked over to the mini fridge, pulling out a coke and then plopping down on the desk chair, staring at her hotel key.
A slow smile crept onto her face, "Well, if Kimmie isn't going to tell me what's wrong, I'll just have to ask the buffoon what the hell they were talking about."
