"Hana!" Kim lunged at the younger woman just in time to catch her before she fell face-first onto the tiled floor.

"Let's move her to the couch," Shego said as she carefully lifted Hana from the floor. The keys were still dangling in Hana's hand as they moved the younger woman to a more comfortable setting. Kim took the keys and pocketed them for safe-keeping.

"The kid is way too drunk right now," Shego commented as she placed a hand on Hana's wrist to check her vitals. "Let's roll her on the side in case she vomits in her sleep."

Kim nodded and helped Shego slowly roll Hana on the couch. She went into the kitchen to grab a small pail and placed it at the foot of the couch.

"Kim, is she even legally allowed to drink?"

Kim shook her head. "She's only eighteen."

Shego raised an eyebrow. "Does she normally party like this?"

"I don't know... I know she's been drinking and whatnot in Paris since she's of age there... But to the extent of the partying, I haven't a clue. I don't keep tabs on her because, well, she wouldn't like it."

"Ok.. She should be ok, but I think we should stay up and check up on her. I don't want her to have alcohol poisoning..."

"I'll talk to her when she wakes up," Kim commented. She frowned. Hana really ruined the evening for her.

"Don't frown, Pumpkin, teens are reckless. You and I both know that from experience."

Kim shook her head. "I'm not frowning because of that."

"Ah, you're frowning because Hana ruined such a good moment."

Kim nodded as she blushed. "It was a nice moment."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, so we'll have lots of those in the future," winked Shego. "In the meanwhile, we should be glad she made it back to your apartment."

"Yeah... I can't imagine how my parents would react if she didn't."

"Are you going to tell them? They are her legal guardians..."

"Hana will have to deal with me before I tell them. She obviously wouldn't want me to tell them... They'd freak out. My dad more than my mom."

"Covering it up won't do any good."

"I just want to give Hana a chance to explain herself. I can't always be there for her, I know, and I'm not her mom... She can do whatever she wants as long as she understands the consequences."

"Sounds like you've dealt with this sort of recklessness before," said Shego before she got up and turned off the stereo.

"Hana's caused us headaches before, that's all, but I'm glad she found her passion in cooking. It's such a great creative outlet for her... Compared to what some would call vandalising, but we both call it decorating, alleyways in the downtown area."

"Graffiti?" So Betty was right, Shego thought.

Kim nodded. "When Ron left us, she was a mess... And so was I. She ended up decorating some alleyways before the police caught her. I had to convince them to let her do a mural just to her to let out all the negativity she kept bottled up inside. It helped her a lot and, if we get the chance, I'll point it out to you the next time we pass by it. So then she decided to apply for cooking school since she did enjoy baking snacks - she worked long and hard, and got in. I guess you can say it's a classic case of turning one's life around, but Hana's life is anything but normal. I'm glad she's doing better, to be honest, which is why I don't harp on her about the drinking... But after tonight, I'm not sure. I don't want anything to happen to her."

"Well, think of it this way, she was sensible enough to come back here... Instead of staying wherever she was with whomever she hung out. I think she shows enough responsibility already, but the problem is she shouldn't be partying here while still a minor. It could've been much worse, Kim, and I'm thankful it's not. If anything, she'll just wake up in the morning with a massive hangover - that'll teach her not to consume too much in such little time." She put an arm around Kim. "Don't worry, she'll be fine and we'll talk to her when she wakes up."

"We?" Kim was surprised at how calm and collected Shego was with the whole thing. Did she not have these same worries when Wallace and Walter were younger? Is that why she looked like she had seen things like this before? When Kim was Hana's age, her parents had sheltered her from everything, so it wasn't until college that Kim learned the harsh lessons of drinking beyond her limits.

"Of course, we'll talk to her. I told Hana that if she ever needs support or an extra ear to listen to her problems, I'm always a call away. She's your sister, Kim, so by association, I should also be concerned about her well-being."

Kim smiled. Shego was pretty selfless and so kind. "Did I ever tell you that you're just perfect?"

Shego's cheeks coloured. "I just do what I think is best in a situation like this."

"And that's why you're perfect. You rationalise everything out and see both sides of the argument. I love that about you."

Shego remained blushing as Kim gave her a hug. "Get some sleep, Princess. I'll camp out here and check up on Hana."

"Ok." Kim stole a quick kiss from Shego as she shuffled her way to the bedroom.

"Ughhhh, my head."

Shego cracked open an eye to see Hana clutch her head. She glanced at the clock. 4 AM. She had been dozing off for a few hours, but still awake to know her bearings: she sitting on the loveseat across from the couch. Placing a cup of water and an aspirin on the coffee table, Shego said, "Take this, it'll help with the hangover."

"Shego?" mumbled the younger girl.

"You're in Kim's apartment right now," replied the older woman.

"What happened?" asked Hana after she swallowed the aspirin.

"Well, Kim and I were having one heck of a romantic evening when you came home and shouted that you were sexy and knew it."

Hana slowly sat up. "Song lyrics... Ughhh, my head really, really hurts."

"Where were you last night? You gave Kim quite a scare when you came home and passed out."

"Party with friends... Took too many shots..." Hana groaned and curled back up on the couch.

"Kim's going to want to talk to you, you know..."

"I know, I'm in deep shit," mumbled Hana. "Always in deep shit..."

Shego was going to comment that Hana wasn't in that much trouble but the teen had already fallen back to sleep. Making sure Hana was lying on her side again, she placed a blanket on the teen and found her way to Kim's bedroom.

As she crawled into bed, Kim shifted and asked groggily, "How is she?"

"Really hungover," replied Shego.

"Mmkay," muttered Kim as she edged closer to Shego, who put an arm around her waist.

When Kim awoke, she heard someone retching in the bathroom. That must be Hana, she thought. She was about to roll on the bed when she realised her hand was practically groping Shego's breast. Karma, she thought as she smiled.

She slowly removed her hand, but then Shego rolled in her direction and practically pinned the redhead on the bed.

"Don't go," mumbled Shego. "Stay."

Kim lay still, unsure whether Shego was actually awake or mumbling in her sleep. In either case, the redhead found the situation amusing.

She whispered, "I should check up on Hana."

"Later," muttered Shego as she held onto Kim. The two women were practically breast-to-breast, with Shego's face nuzzling Kim's neck.

Kim heard the retching stop and the sound of the toilet flushing.

"See? She's ok. Stay."

Kim obliged and watched Shego sleep. The older woman's hair was in disarray and Kim revelled in the sight. Whether she knew it or not, Shego was most certainly beautiful and Kim felt that she lucked out with someone so understanding and caring.

They stayed like this for another hour or so when Shego was fully awake. Embarrassed that she had latched herself onto Kim, she tried to get up when Kim pulled her in for a kiss.

The kiss was soft at first, but then became more passionate. Kim had slipped her hands under Shego's shirt and was running them up and down the older woman's sides. Shego had repositioned herself on top of Kim and had one leg in-between the redhead's.

"Shego," gasped Kim as the older woman started kissing her exposed collarbone. It was taking Kim a lot of self control to not give into her desires... in broad daylight... and with Hana around. The older woman paid no attention to Kim and carried on with her task of ravishing the exposed skin. "Shego," Kim repeated forcefully.

The older woman stopped and peered into Kim's eyes. The redhead was taken aback by the intensity of the gaze and felt her face flush. Shego grinned and kissed her on the nose.

That was when they both heard Hana knocking on the door.

Shego scrambled off of Kim and sat on the edge of the bed when Kim asked Hana to come in.

"Whoa, you guys look just as bad as me," commented the younger woman as she entered the bedroom.

Shego and Kim looked at each other and laughed. Both looked dishevelled and a pink mark was starting to appear on Kim's clavicle.

"What's up, Hana?" Kim patted to a spot next to her for Hana to sit down. Taking it as her cue to leave and prep breakfast, Shego tied up her hair and stepped out of the room.
