She couldn't concentrate after she got back to the office.

What was she thinking?

Honestly, she thought she was moving things too quickly, but Shego was just too adorable.

She tapped her fingers on her desk. Wade had come back from his initial assessment and had informed her that he would be able to set things up on Monday for GJ Designs.

After he had left, a bunch of her writers bombarded her office, concerned this taking the weekend off would wreak havoc on the paper. She had reassured them that it wouldn't and, if anything happened, they could "call her, beep her, if they wanted to reach her." Or they could call Bonnie, but that would be more catastrophic...

So now she was at her desk, staring at the photograph in her hand, and wondering whether it was time to move on.

Time to let go.

Time to start anew.

Evening came and went. It was all a blur for Shego. She was in such a good mood that it even freaked out Will. He took a jab at her when she walked back in the office at 3 PM, but it didn't faze her. Normally she would say something insulting to his face and have Betty break up the fight by giving them The Look, but no, not today.

Today, she was the happiest person in Middleton.

Possibly on the planet.

She stared at the mirror. No, not this outfit, she thought. She went to change into a pair of black slacks and a light green dress shirt, topped with a dark green sweater vest. One look in the mirror was all she needed: perfect.

She looked at her watch.

5:30 PM.

Grabbing her purse, she locked up her apartment and decided to walk to St. Jude's. It wasn't that far of a walk, maybe 20 minutes - that would give her 10 minutes to catch her breath and calm herself down. It'd been a while since she had been on a date.

Kim locked her car and walked down the block.

She could've walked to St. Jude's from her apartment, but she decided to take the car. She actually got to St. Jude's half an hour early, but she drove around the block a bit to calm her nerves. She saw Shego walk towards the cafe during her fourth round, and decided to stop to meet up with her date.

She put her hands in her pockets. Should've brought a jacket with me, she thought. In sharp contrast to the day before, it was a bit chilly this evening, a precursor of the winter weather that would soon come.

St. Jude's was a bit packed for the evening, but Kim noticed that Shego was standing outside near the door.

"Hey," Kim said.

Shego looked baffled. It was only 5:45 PM, or was it? The older woman blinked at Kim, looked down at her watch, and then back at Kim.

"Hi," she said weakly.

Kim giggled mentally. She's nervous.

"You're early?" she squeaked out. So much for calming down, she thought.

Her redheaded companion nodded. "I, uh, actually drove around the block a couple times... So we're both early."

She nodded in understanding and furrowed her brow. "Where do you want to go? St. Jude's is packed right now."

Kim tilted her head as she thought.

She looks adorable, Shego mused. Her eyes trailed up and down Kim's body in awe. The younger woman was dressed casually in a maroon plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pair of faded jeans, and Converse sneakers. Shego, on the other hand, began to feel uncomfortable - she was overdressed for the occasion.

As if Kim read her thoughts, the redhead took her hand and muttered a "No big, now I feel underdressed" before giving Shego a wink.

"Where are we going?"

The duo was headed towards Kim's car.

Another wink.

"You'll see soon enough."

Author's Notes: Hello, hello, it's been a while. I know it's a short chapter, but I like to be a tease... ;-) I should be studying but I think I'll just leave this here... heh.

As for Shego's sense of style... I like sweater vests. :)
