Author's Note: Hey... hey guys, guess who's back and forcing herself to write KiGo for you peeps ;D Sorry i've been gone so long. I've been being a buttmunch and lazy and just not writing any KiGo and focusing my attention on Jori. I'm a stupid nincompoop and I am sorry. I would like to say that I am writing again and I am going to try to force myself to work hard to keep up with my writing and finish by the time I said I'd be done (so before I go to college mid-august)... and now I just have to work towards my goal. Honestly, this one is wrapping up. I think I may be able to finish in a chapter or two, but no guarantees. Well then, here's a chapter that has more dialogue than anything else, but it leads to a very important part of the story and Kim and Shego's relationship (which you will read more about in the next chapter) so I hope you all enjoy it and I truly am sorry I'm such a loser and slow at updating xD

Ron yawned and stretched out on his bed, groaning slightly as his back popped. He stared at the ceiling and sighed. Things were just way too complicated. He wanted Kim to be happy, and for Kim to be happy that meant Shego couldn't go to jail. Then again, he didn't want her to go to prison now either. She'd saved his best friend's life. There were so many conflicting emotions, and he wasn't used to dealing with them. The last time he was so stressed out was Junior Prom, and he really didn't like the sickness he felt in his stomach that followed suit.

A slight scuffling noise caught his attention and he sat up a little. His eyes widened and he prepared to let out a shriek of surprise and terror when a gloved hand covered his mouth.

"Shut it," Shego growled. "Now then, I'm going to remove my hand and you're going to keep quiet. Understood?"

He nodded his head slowly.

She released him and then took a seat at the edge of his bed. "What's going on?" she asked with a slight snarl.

"Wh-What do you mean?"

"Kimmie was in a weird mood after talking with you earlier today. Spill."

Ron contemplated his options. Don't tell and get beaten silly. Don't tell and get beaten silly until giving in. Do tell and get in trouble with Kim. Hmm, tough choices. He decided on the third.

"I don't want to see Kim hurt, and I'm worried that talking with you and being friends with you will hurt her. You're a villain and she's a hero. You guys are supposed to be against each other. What if GJ catches you? Then you'll go to prison and Kim will be miserable. You saved her life, and that means so much to me and her. She's my best friend and you saved her. I don't want you going to prison either anymore. I just worry that you staying in contact with her will also put her at risk of getting in trouble with GJ. I don't want that."

Shego frowned as she pondered over it all. "I see what you mean." She groaned as she placed her head in her hands and muttered, "I should just quit being a stupid villain. It's getting boring anyways. Besides, I only have a few crimes on my head… stealing and resisting arrest being the main ones. If I could get rid of them, things would be much easier. If only GJ didn't have such a large stick up their ass… maybe I could've worked the system and gotten pardons for my crimes because I saved Kimmie, a star in their eyes." She sighed. "Oh who am I kidding? They wouldn't let me off the hook."

Ron's jaw hit the floor. Was Shego really willing to give up being a villain? What the hell was going on?

"What…. What are you saying?" he stammered out.

"What am I saying? Haven't you been listening?"

"I've… been listening. I just haven't believed what I've been hearing. I mean, you, Shego, said you'd be willing to give up being a villain just to be friends with Kim. Seriously, what sort of villain goes out of their way to be friends with their enemy?" he asked in confusion. His eyebrows were knit together as he looked at her in confusion.

Shego shrugged, "I don't need to be a villain. I've been doing that for years. I've had my fill of fun and action. I'm ready to retire from the scene. And tell me, if you were in my position, would you stop being a villain just so you could be friends with Kimmie and keep her from getting in trouble for talking with you?"

"Well yeah, but I'm not you. I'm… I just… I still have feelings for her. I know she doesn't like me anymore, and I'm good with that, but I would do anything for her," he said, his cheeks starting to turn red.

Shego smiled ruefully, "I would do anything for her too, you know. You and I are sort of in the same boat."

He looked at her with a bewildered expression. "What do you mean?"

"Really? Are you that dense? You just said you liked her and I just said I was in the same boat. Connect the dots."

She could practically see the gears in his head turning and smoke leaking from his ears as he thought. He had a look of deep concentration on his face as he pieced it together bit by bit.

At long last his eyes widened and he jumped up in a flash, pointing a finger at her and asking with unmasked awe, "You're in love with KP?!"

Chuckling dryly she nodded her head. "Took you long enough to figure it out."

"Wha? Since when? Wait, what? You like women? I thought you and Drakken were…." His feet gave way beneath him and he crumpled to his knees.

"Since when? The first time I ever fought her. Why do you think I would tease her, call her nicknames? And yes, I like women. I have for the longest time. I just never had a reason to sit down and have a heart to heart with my enemies. We never exactly had coffee together, and there was no way I would just fight you guys and randomly blurt out, 'Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm gay?'"

"B-But… you and Drakken."

Shego groaned, "Why does everybody think that I'm with that stupid blue idiot? He's my boss and I only worked for him for the money and to fight Kimmie on a regular basis. We were villains, and they were arch-enemies or whatever, so if I quit working for him I wouldn't be able to see her again, or at least not as often. Where would the fun in that be? As long as I worked for him I had cash and a chance to see her."

"So… during that Lorwardian invasion… you were serious when you said that the two of you weren't an item?" he asked hesitantly.

Rolling her eyes she said sarcastically, "No shit, Sherlock. Why do you think I protested so much? I seriously have no interest in him. Your prying and pushing just made him think I did, and I never had it in me to tell him I was gay or else I might lose my job or get my pay docked. I have no romantic interest in him and I just wish you had exacerbated the problem."

Ron flinched slightly. "Yeah… sorry about that."

"Whatever. Back to the main topic at hand… how do I go about cleaning my record?"

Both fell into silence to think, but neither could come up with anything short of Shego turning herself in and serving her time.

By the time Shego left, the sun had risen, and that was the plan they were going with. Kim was not to be caught in the crossfire, and Shego was going to go to prison for her crimes. That's the way things should be, and that's the way Shego and Ron thought would be best.

A/N: So, what do you gorgeous people think about this chapter? Yay? Nay? I know it was a little dry and more like a filler, but I think I needed this chapter to continue on, and this is probably why I've been putting it off for so long... it's just so boring and nothing huge happens other than the decision made... but yeah, let me know what you guys think, and I'm sorry it's not the best chapter and that I've taken so long... hope you all don't hate me too much ^^; Love you guys~ I hope to update again soon!
