2 - Reunited Once Again
Kim was happy to see Annabelle Gooding once again after such a long time. She looked just like her own mother that when both Sam and Kim had been young, they always confused their mothers. Anne, as Annabelle liked for short, had longer hair now, and was still as white as snow. An albino woman, one of the most amazing cooks in history, only had one girl, albino too, who had no talent on the kitchen but banging the pots and making it sound good. Anne noticed the disappointed look on the redhead's face as she noticed her good friend wasn't in the catering truck.
"Sam is already there, don't worry," the albino said, hugging the girl tighter, "she will be teaching some classes, so you will get to see her often, don't worry."
"I was just—" Kim began but stopped herself, "well, at least I'll see her again."
"You just tell me if that girl is giving you some trouble," Anne said with a smile, "and she better tell you everything by the end of the summer."
"Well, I'll be happy just to be with her," she replied with a long sigh, "I haven't seen her in ages, so just being with her is a bonus that I don't want to miss."
"You two girl are crazy," the red-eyed woman said, rolling her eyes, "just have a good time."
"I'll help you in the kitchen," the teen began and the albino was shocked at the proposal, "I'll help you as much as I can."
"No you won't," came the stern reply, "you can visit and help once in a while, but you have to go and have fun with the rest."
"I'll go every day and help you out," the redhead promised; the older female just sighed and knew it was indeed, impossible to deal with redheads of the Possible household.
"You are back in your old cabin, so I hope you don't mind the dragon or me being so near." It had always been that way; if something funny happened between the girls, they would be the first to know.
Kim blushed at the subtext of the message; did she want such things to happen? 'No, of course not! I don't like her that way; she doesn't like me that way, so there is no way such thing will happen.' "So even if she's a teacher now," she began, "we will share the same cabin, just like in the old days?"
"Just like in the old days," the albino confirmed, and by the look of the teen's face, heaven wasn't too far off. 'Those girls will end up together by the look of things.'
The rest of the trip was silent as both females were left to their thoughts. Kim tried to remember her best friend's voice but could only hear the super-star Shego's voice. It just confused the girl more, and she kept trying to remember as much as she could about her friend.
Mean while, Anne was remembering her previous conversation with her daughter; it wasn't their best conversation and she would have liked to hear from her girl under other conditions. Maybe that was asking too much, considering with whom the teen star had been living with for the last couple of years. Those boys were just bad influences for her daughter, and now more than ever, Anne believed so.
- (starting the conversation's flashback) -
"Mom, mom," Sam repeated over the phone; she had been crying, "I need to get away from my brothers; Hector specially mom; he doesn't understand, doesn't want to understand mom!"
"Sammie, honey," Anne began after the outburst, "just tell me what happened, and from the beginning."
"I'm a lesbian mommy," Sam confessed and neither of them were shocked that it was the first time said, "I just found out after I broke up with Drake; I cannot stop thinking about her!"
"Honey, you are in love with a girl, that doesn't mean you only like girls; you were with Drake for a reason, right?" The older woman tried to reason with her daughter; the logic was sound and might help her daughter so she said so to stop her girl from thinking more deeply than was needed.
"Still, I told the media I'm a lesbian and Hego wants me to take my statement back and go back with Drake. I cannot do that; it would feel like betraying her mom." Anne learned that she needed to have a serious talk with her daughter, and soon would be better.
"So you want some time on your own; why not come back to Camp Rock? Kei would be very happy, I would be happy." She said, trying to get a chance to talk with her baby girl.
"I just want to see her mommy," the teen said, and even though Anne didn't hear them, she knew her baby girl was in tears.
"I'll see what I can do baby," Anne promised, "I'll see what I can do..."
"Thanks mom, but I will go there whether she goes or not," the teen star was desperate for an environmental change; anything that was as far as she could from her moronic brothers, half-brothers, if truth was told. Especially Hego who was just being obnoxious as ever; it was also to protect the blue male against more violent attacks, though she would never admit to have commited such altruistic act.
"Good. Now be careful and take a plane back here as soon as you can," her mother said, really worried about her baby girl.
"Yes mom, I'll arrive at Camp Rock. I have missed you mommy, thank you for making it possible for me to see her again." At this, when they hanged up, did Anne felt a pang of guilt; she wasn't sure if she would be able to make the redhead teen go to Camp Rock.
- (end of flashback) -
They arrived and both were shaken from the past. Kim felt frustrated and close to tears because it didn't matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember her best friend's voice. Anne knew that something was happening to the young redhead but couldn't do anything about it; teens were better off trying to solve the problems themselves, only calling for help when they thought they needed.
"How are my two beautiful ladies?" Kei asked as he came near and helped both females out of the truck. He gave a kiss each and helped them both get settled.
"Who's that?" Kim asked. They always arrived a day before the rest of the campers so that they could prepare it for their arrival.
"She's a niece of mine," Kei replied, motioning to the lone figure by the dock, "go say hi. Hey Sam, Kim's here!"
The girl turned around; it was early in the morning with the sun in the horizon. That is why Kim didn't notice that the girl's hair turned from ebony to ivory. It was also due to the tears the redhead had in her eyes as she ran to her best friend who seemed to be rooted in place. Indeed, Sam was worried that now her best friend knew she was also super star teen idol Shego; she couldn't be able to deal with the questions and wanted Kim to deduce it herself. The albino teen felt the tackle as they fell into the lake. Their tears now mingled with the lake's water as they were both happy to see each other again after such a long time.
"Kimmie..." The albino breathed down the redhead's neck, who only shivered at the action. "I have missed you..."
"I have missed you too Sammie," the green-eyed teen replied. They got out of the lake to find towels and a note. Kim read it out loud. "'You have plenty to catch up too. Feel free to skip your duties this time; it won't happen again so be grateful; Anne and Kei.'"
"While I have you all for myself, I won't complain," Sam said in such a sincere fashion that the redhead was shocked. She then noticed that there was more to the note.
"Wait, there's more," the redhead said and continued, "'PD: Kimmie, we left your stuff in your usual cabin. The two of you head there to change from those wet clothes.'"
There was a reason why they called Anne and Kei mom and dad, which was reflected in such situation; for once, who could have predicted that they would fall into the lake? Only people close enough to call family, specially a mother or a father.
"Now I get to see how much my Princess has grown," the albino said while hugging her princess.
"You are taller than I remember," the musician said as she blushed from the attention.
"Pumpkin," the super-star replied, "I hope that isn't an inconvenience."
"Not at all; it only means I can be snuggled," the redhead said as she snuggled too the taller girl.
"You are shivering," the albino remarked and placed both towels over the petite female. She then proceeded on carrying the redhead bridal style, "we are going to get you some dry clothes."
"Sammie! Stop, you are going to catch a cold!" The petite girl cried and actually tried to force the albino to put her down. The only thing she got in response was a tighter hold on her; she sighed her defeat.
"Hardly possible, Princess, so just stay there and relax," the pale female commanded and the redhead happily obeyed.
"You are stronger than I remembered," Kim said, actually amused by the fact rather than wondering why that was.
"Working around here isn't easy," the albino replied, holding the girl closer, "so I'm obviously stronger."
The redhead sighed happily as she cuddled closer to her hero. "I have missed coming here..."
"I have missed you all these summers we have been apart. But we are together now, and I swear nothing will pull us apart," the crimson-eyed teen vowed fervently and her friend only blushed.
"How much has the camp changed, Sam?" Kim asked as her friend entered their cabin, was placed on her feet, and soon, they began to change into dry clothes.
"Well, you heard of Shego, right?" She asked, first to test the redhead's reaction and second to put in motion her second plan. When her friend gave a shrug and a yes, the albino proceeded. "Well, she will be the one sleeping in the cabin."
"Oh..." Kim said her face down; she had been looking forward to spending the nights with her good friend. She missed their girl's night out when they did their nails and all kind of girly stuff.
"Yeah..." Sam went on, thinking maybe it wasn't such a good idea, "the thing is, no one will suspect of this cabin being the one where she stays."
"So you agreed?" Kim asked and when the albino nodded, the redhead hugged her friend even though they were half naked; the tall girl blushed deeply at the action but controlled herself. She also began wondering what the deal with the redhead was. "You are always so kind. I wouldn't have given up my cabin place but I understand why you did."
Sam only sighed and then replied to the petite musician's gaze, Kim had a puzzled look on her face because of the sigh; "nothing Princess, is just that calls have been coming over the camp; I have talked to Shego herself and she told me that girls had been approaching her just to get a boost in their music; I was just afraid you had changed beyond recognition."
"Shego's here?" The olive-eyes went as huge as saucers, "can I get her autograph?"
The albino teen just laughed and patted the red mane of her best friend and kissed the green-eyed girl's forehead, "how much have you changed Pumpkin?"
"Not much I hope, with normal teen problems but nothing else..." Kim evaded, letting go of the albino and her super-star friend noticed.
"What is it Kimmie?" Sam asked worriedly as she finished changing and began helping Kim finish dressing.
"No—nothing!" The redhead stammered, shivering lightly, and Sam mistook it for the cold much to Kim's good fortune. Still, the albino teen did wonder why her best friend went all defensive but was more concerned about the petite musician's health.
"Just remember that you can trust me," but that was the last thing the musician felt at the moment, there was only doubt and fear but she realized who might help her with her troubles. "Yeah, I think if you are nice enough, Shego might give you an autograph."
"Why, she gave you one?" Kim asked, and the albino just gave a wicked smile, leaving the redhead wondering if that was a good sign or not.
"I have no need for it," the pale teen answered enigmatically.
Kim began sneezing, so Sam wouldn't allow her to go out and help. "I'm more than enough; I don't want you catching a cold at the beginning of summer, especially when it's our summer; it is our summer, isn't it?"
The redhead agreed just to have some time for herself. But the heavens had it in them to give the teen musician a hard time at the moment. Soon after her albino friend left that no one other than Shego entered the cabin. The pale green teen would have missed Kim had the girl's nose had to sneeze out its own accord. The teen idol turned to look at Kim and raised an eyebrow.
"So, you must be Kim Possible..." Shego said dryly.
"Ah, excuse me, I—"
"Had a splash on the lake?" The pale female guessed with a bit of an attitude and the redhead frowned. "Sorry, but I'm not having a good week."
"Don't worry; I'll try not to get on your nerves..." The musician grumbled and the super star smirked.
"For that, I would need you to be out of that stupid cold." The pale female approached the redhead and placed two fingers on the girl's forehead. After some green plasma passed between the girls, Kim began shivering but more at the fact of being touched in such a gentle manner. She also began to feel warmer but didn't know if it was at being so closed with the other girl or just the ability of Shego's powers. "Sam seemed a little down and I stumbled upon the reason; go out and find her."
Kim could do nothing but obey and watched as the teen idol flopped on the other bed. Shaking her head, she headed out to help a little. As soon as she left, Shego turned down her meteor powers and went back on being Sam; she then left through the window and headed for the kitchen. As she ran all the way there, she thought to herself, 'boy it's gonna be a busy summer if this is what I will be doing most of the time...' She shook her head because at the end of the deal, it was going to be completely worth it since Kimmie would learn about her secret, but only after the albino girl got over her overwhelming crush with the redhead. She also knew that the olive-eyed teen was more than likely capable of solving the mystery so extra caution was needed.
Well, I hope you are enjoying this story. Have a half-baked idea of what I plan for it, but got no idea how I'm going to get there. I'll get you there, and with some music from the movie, I promise.
