A/N: Busy busy busy. If you're still there, thanks for reading.

Shego's closet had gender identity issues. There was there were "his" and "her" sides. It was not that she shared closets with anyone but she just liked to dress how she liked to dress: femme, butch, or whatever the hell she wanted to be depending on her mood.

She marched out into her living room where all four of her brothers sat playing Halo Reach.

Pulling out two pairs of shoes in front of her, she asked them what color they preferred to match her skirt.

"Uh, Shego, they're both green," one of them pointed out.

"I know that, dumbass, I'm asking which one's better."

Her brother's looked at her blankly. She scoffed and ran back to her closet to change.

"Well?" she asked as she stood before them for the hundredth time.

"Looks fine," they all said in one way or another. They didn't even pretend to look in her direction.

Shego growled and stomped her foot. "That's what you said for the last couple of outfits!"

"What do you expect? We're boys," one of the teenage Go twins shrugged without taking his eyes off the tv. His twin nodded. "As long as it's clean, it's fine."

"Boys," she grumbled sarcastically. "And what about you two?" She asked her other brothers.

"Whatever we do say, you'll just change your mind and your clothes," Hego pointed out.

Mego nodded, "Although, I do say, I dig the boots, matey."

He was referring to Shego's knee high boots that she wore with tight black pants that showed off her ass and a cream-colored poet's shirt. Shego realized that she did look like a pirate. A hot pirate, yes, but was that the look she was going for?

"You assholes are useless," Shego complained before stomping back into her room.

She came back with fuck-me-heels and her LBD. Her brothers ignored her again.

"If you think you're gonna wear that to your date, think again," Hego said.

"And why the hell not?"

"It makes you look easy. It's a first date," he gave her a pointed look.

"Would you turn away a girl in a similar get-up?"

"No, but then again, she's not my little sister."

"I'm a grown woman, I can make my own decisions about what I'll wear on a date," Shego grit out assertively, her hands falling to her hips as she leaned intimidatingly over him. The few inches added by her shoes made it extra scary. A wiser man would have backed down.

"Good," Hego deadpanned, "Then you don't have to ask us what you're wearing."

"Yeah," the others boys chorused bravely, aiming quick nervous glances at her. There was safety in numbers, they tried to assure themselves. With more of them, there was a lesser chance of getting killed.

Shego's eyes narrowed into slits and was about to do some heavy bodily and psychological damage but whatever she was about to do was interrupted by the doorbell.

"Oh, no! Hego, get the door! I need to fix my hair!" Shego ran as fast as her four-inch heels could carry her.

Hego sighed and reluctantly left the game to open the door. Kim Possible stood patiently outside the door.

"Hi," Kim smiled politely and shook Hego's hand after they briefly get reintroduced.

"Come in and sit for a bit. Shego's still getting ready," he shook his head, mussing up his hair and making him look boyish. "I'll introduce you to the boys."

Shego's mouth fell open when she saw that her date was playing video games with her brothers. And that she was kicking their asses.

"Shego, can we keep her?" the twins asked. Shego shook her head, amused.

Kim turned to her with bright eyes and a wide smile. "You ready?"

Shego nodded and held out a hand. She helped the redhead get from the couch and waited for her to gather her things.

"Bye, boys," Kim waved as they walked out the door. They sent longing looks her way and waved their farewells.

"Sorry about my brothers," Shego said as she stepped into the passenger seat of Kim's car. "They like to bother me most when I least need it."

"It's fine, I'm kind of jealous. I don't get to spend much time with mine," Kim said.

"How many siblings do you have?"

"Just my two brothers. Funny, actually, they're twins, too. About your youngest brothers' age as well. Twins actually run in my family..."

"You don't say," Shego replied distractedly. She was asking herself why she didn't notice how nice Kim's dress looked on her. She was so very temped to feel how smooth Kim's legs were. So she did.

"You look beautiful, by the way," she placed her hand on Kim's knee and leaned in unnecessarily to whisper in her ear, blatantly invading her personal space. Kim's blush spread across her cheeks and even the tips of her ears turned pink which Shego found endearing.

Dinner at a Thai restaurant was wonderful and even the occasional lapses of silence were not awkward. Both women each privately thought that wearing a dress was a good idea because she could subtly brush her leg against her date's calf and it could all be construed as innocent... not that either of them were really innocent. They were both supposedly being sneaky about the leg brushing but it was fairly obvious that they were touch flirting with the number of times it happened over the course of dinner.

Kim fired off many questions for her date and Shego answered them all honestly. Kim admitted that she was looking for someone permanent in her life and she sighed in relief when Shego didn't seem like she was scared by this revelation. In truth, Shego herself wanted the same things the lovely Kim Possible did. She figured that she was fast approaching the age where she was re-prioritizing the things that she wanted in life and the redhead could help her sort things out.

For a moment, Shego lost herself to daydreams of waking next to the younger woman and doing something mundane as eating toast together before separately heading off to work... only to come home to each other at the end of the day. Shego found that the thought of that kind of predictability and stability was appealing in its own way.

For dessert, they shared a small chocolate cake and they ate it with conspiratory smiles. "You only live once," grinned Shego before taking a bite.

They had planned on catching a movie and stood in line at the ticket booth chatting away. In the middle of it all, everything just seemed to stop and they leaned towards each other.

Kim paused and laughed again. Shego looked at her with a questioning face.

"Even with my heels, I have to tip toe to kiss you because you're wearing heels, too," she commented with amusement.

"I guess I'll just have to meet you half way, huh?" Shego quirked a brow. She grasped Kim's waist and leaned down. Kim locked her fingers behind Shego's neck and leaned up. The peck lasted longer than it should have but no one was complaining.

"Mommy, mommy! Look!" a young boy tugged on his mother's shirt and pointed towards the couple.

The child's mother shushed him and glared contemptuously at the two women before huffing away, dragging her kid with her. It didn't take words to let the woman know what she thought of them. Kim shrugged helplessly, the small smile fading quickly into a soft frown. Shego rubbed her date's arm and they shared a look of understanding.

"Kids," Shego offered a wry smile.

Kim nodded for the sake of nodding. Shego picked up her hand and laced their fingers together as they walked into the theater.

They both had to try a little to restore the mood but by the time Kim dropped Shego at her front porch, the incident at the cinema was already forgotten. The movie was interesting and they had a general good time in each other's company. Kim, who couldn't deny that she was smitten with her new lady friend, was already planning a second date but Shego beat her to the punch by asking her to lunch the next day. Another tip-toed kiss and Kim left Shego's porch.

Shego didn't have to wait long before she was mobbed.

"Well?"

"What did you guys do?"

"Are you gonna have another date?"

"She's totally hot."

"Did you sleep with her yet?"

"Can she come play Halo again?"

Shego simply smiled, said good night as she shooed the boys out the door, and walked to her bedroom. She closed the door behind her, got dressed for bed, and spent the entire night tossing and turning with a quiet sigh.

A/N: So so sorry for the threadbare chapter! I shall try to update soon but really, I don't know when.
