Chapter 10:
Possible Residence:
"And so, that's why she'll be staying with us."
Kim's family stared at her, like she had grown an extra head.
"Now, Kimmie-cub."
Shego snickered at the nickname, earning herself an elbow to the ribs, courtesy of Kim.
"Now, Kim. I know you enjoy helping people, but do you really want a hardened criminal living in our home."
James asked.
"Yes. Besides, she doesn't have her powers anymore, so how much damage can she do?"
"She could steal from us."
Anne said.
"She knows our agreement. No criminal activity of any kind, and I won't call up GJ. After all, I do have Dr. Director on speed dial."
Anne and James look at each other, and then back at Kim.
"Well as long as she can behave herself, then she may stay."
Anne said.
"However, any monkey business, and you will be out of here faster than a rocket, speeding towards the moon. Is that understood?"
James asked, looking at Shego.
"Sure, whatever."
Shego said, filing her nails and leaning against the door frame.
"Right, well now that that's all taken care of, I'll go start dinner."
Anne said, standing up and making her way over to the kitchen. She then stopped in the doorway, and turned to face her sons.
"Jim, Tim, you boys need to set the table."
"Ugh, why?"
The tweebs groaned.
"Because I told you to. Now come set the table, or I'll confiscate your rockets."
The tweebs eyes grew to the size of saucers, and they quickly scrambled off the couch and raced off to complete the task given to them.
Anne then walked into the kitchen to start on dinner, and James went down into the basement, to work on the plans for his next rocket.
"Your family is interesting."
Shego said, walking over and plopping herself down onto the couch.
"Interesting how?"
Kim asked, taking a seat next to the pale skinned woman.
"I don't know, they're just interesting, is all."
"Oh, okay."
Silence then befell the two women, neither sure how to continue the conversation. After what seemed like an eternity, Kim decided to break the silence.
"Hey Shego, can I ask you something?
"Hmm?"
Shego asked, continuing to file her nails.
Kim placed her hand on top of Shego's, to stop the incessant filing. Once she had Shego's full attention, she asked her question.
"What were you dreaming about the other night? And, I want the truth."
Shego looked away from Kim, and fixed her eyes on the floor.
"It was nothing, don't worry about it."
"It sure didn't seem like nothing."
"Well it was."
The two women sat in silence for a couple of minutes. Shego glanced at Kim, and caught the redhead staring at her.
"Would you stop staring? Jeez, I swear you stared less when I was green."
Kim mumbled out a quick sorry, and averted her gaze to elsewhere in the room.
Once again, the two women became silent. After a few moments, Shego stood up and began to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"Upstairs."
"Why?"
"Because I want to."
"Why do you want to?"
"For the love of god, do you have to know everything I do?"
"Yes. Now, why do you want to go upstairs?"
"I just want to be alone. There, happy now? You got your answer."
Shego then walked upstairs, leaving Kim alone.
