Authors' Foreword

The last chapter! What else could possibly happen now? Considering the totally massive grouping of people, there is likely to be something interesting at least. I guess we'll see what kind of nuttiness people'll get up to now in this last chapter of a (bit more than a) bromance fic!

"Hello, Shego," Anne said as the pale woman settled down next to her later that evening. The fireworks, easily visible from the Possible's backyard, had been quite spectacular.

"Hey, Anne." Shego sighed, leaning back into the poolside folding lounger. She cradled a full glass of pomegranate juice, watching the still going party that had devolved into an impromptu water fight in the pool.

"I'm glad you two decided to take the invite." Anne chuckled, "Kimmie was on pins and needles, not sure if it was a good idea or not. Especially when you called to say Eddie was coming with you." Anne favored her with a raised eyebrow and a tiny smirk, and Shego had the oddest feeling the red-head knew about what they were doing with the motorhead.

"I'd've come just to mess with Kimmie, with or without my two dorks," she said, deciding to confirm the redhead's possible suspicions. Unsurprisingly, the smirk widened ever-so-slightly and a glint that Shego would almost describe as naughty flashed in the other woman's eyes. "It would've just been bonus points if it had been awkward." Shego snorted, then cocked her head at Anne, "So you used to date ol' Eddie, huh?"

"Yes." Anne nodded in amusement, "He was fun to party with, but so gawky when we first met."

"Wait," Shego protested, "Eddie? Gawky about 'a seriously hawt chick'?"

"Shocking, isn't it?" Anne tittered at Shego's mocking impersonation, "But you have to realize, I was a bit more... Aggressive than the girls he was used to chasing."

"That makes sense. Eddie seems to have a thing for the aggressive types." Shego nodded, snickering herself, "It's probably why he's still halfway besotted with you."

"And still respects James," Anne concluded with a tone as possessive towards her husband as Shego felt towards her dorks. She also wore a smile that was every bit as predatory as any Shego had ever used. "Although I'm surprised he's not as closeted as he used to be…?"

"I might've had something to do with that." Shego gave the woman a matching smirk, "Though it was Drew of all people that started the ball rolling."

"Oh?" Anne's voice dropped and she leaned closer. Considering some of the stories that Eddie had told her during his drunken confessions, the sudden, salaciously intrigued sparkle in her eyes was as unsurprising as the earlier glint. "Do tell?"

As Shego explained what had happened, and some of the events after it was all settled down, Anne confirmed the thief's conclusions about the older woman. She was every bit as kinky as Shego, even having offered a few tips that had never occurred to the younger woman, though they might have in time.

She was about to comment on the redhead's latest suggestion, a rather risque use of some of Eddie's tools, particularly wrenches, when she noticed out of the corner of her eye a nervous Ron standing in front of an equally nervous, though oddly excited, Kim. He was hiding a velvet box behind his back that was easily seen from Shego's vantage point.

"I'll be damned, he's actually doing it." She glanced at Anne, "I wonder if he's going to be in trouble if Kimmie got any of your... Interests. Or if he wakes them up?"

"Oh, I'm sure he won't mind." Anne chuckled as she turned to watch the show the two teens were providing, "Though I don't think she'll be as bad as either of us."

"Who knows?" Shego shrugged just as Ron got down on one knee, bringing the box around his back. "She could end up being the opposite and ending up as big of a repressed mess as Eddie was."

"Oh, I'll keep an eye on her so that doesn't happen," Anne concluded easily. Then something occurred to her and she let out a soft snort of laughter. Shego raised a slightly bemused eyebrow at her, Anne waved as if shooing away a mosquito, "Sorry, I'm still somewhat surprised just how far in the closet Eddie was." The redhead shrugged, latching on to the interesting yet touchy topic as Kim gawked at her boyfriend. Anne said with some disappointment, "He never gave a hint he was into bottoming. Or men, for that matter."

"Even he didn't realize he was into it," the green woman answered, finding a bit of entertainment at the tears forming in the cheerleader's eyes.

"I see..." The older redhead gave Shego a curious gaze as Kim squealed a positive answer, Ron barely keeping them from tumbling into the now cheering crowd in the pool. Apparently deciding to either drop that topic or ask Eddie more directly, Anne asked, "Has it been worth it, so far?"

"Oh, let's just say it's a fulfilling relationship..." Shego grinned. Her eyes almost instantly found Drew and Eddie in the crowd, watching the two teens. No one else — aside from Anne — noticed, but Eddie was silently crying. Drew was leaning up against him, both soothing him with his voice and rubbing his arm intimately. Her grin became a surprised, soft smile when she saw a vine was gently stroking the back of Eddie's neck, carefully avoiding the brilliant, red sunburn on his bald pate. A small, satisfied flutter in the green woman's chest surprised her a little. With no small amount of affection, she added, "And I don't see letting it go any time soon!"

Authors' Notes

Here's the end to this seriously rad story! Who'd've thought that Sheegs and Eddie would want, much less be able to, share the doc? And Shego calling them 'her' dorks? Seriously crazy! And let's not forget Shego gettin' some tips for lovin' from Anne Possible, of all people. Wait, that one's not really a surprise, is it?

Anyway, thanks for reading, and please leave a review if you have any input or comments to make.
