Chapter 18: Friday’s Know-It-All Ruins Mail Call
Kimmie entered Middleton High Friday morning finally feeling like Kim Possible. She was actually smiling and well… life was getting back to being possibly normal! She had a plan, she was in control… ah yes, life was good. Then… she opened her locker.
Her regular picture of Shego had been replaced by an 8”x10” enlargement of the photo she had taken in the villain’s bedroom of herself with Shego. She immediately took it down and behind it was another new photo. It was a black and white picture of a very young, masked Shego in a beautiful formal gown. Her hair was pulled back and she was smiling brightly holding her H.O.T.Y. 1999 plaque. Kim started to take the picture down but then froze as she heard someone approaching her.
Ron Stoppable walked up behind her. “Hey Kim, how ya doin’? We need to… Wow! Is that Shego?” the boy blurted out while gawking at the new picture.
“Yep,” Kim asserted, “And I’m fine… Ron, don’t let Barkin see you talking to me. I’m still grounded.”
“She looks hot!” the boy whistled forgetting for a moment that he was upset with his best friend and getting closer to the picture of Shego to really look at it. “Hey, there’s writing on the back of it.” He lifted the picture up and read the back out loud before Kim could stop him.
“’Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good...’ – Saint Thomas Aquinas.” Ron put the photo back down to look at it again. “Ooh a riddle!”
“It’s not a riddle,” Kim snapped irritated by Ron’s Ron-ness. “It’s a quote… ooh,” she corrected him sighing getting the simple meaning behind it. She took her books out of her locker and a black box sealed with lime green and red ribbon fell onto the floor. She picked it up and both teens looked at it with dual question marks above their heads.
“Well, it’s not from me,” Ron huffed narrowing his eyes and looking at the redhead. “It must be from the new mystery man since, you know, we broke up,” he commented with his tone becoming like ice.
“There IS NO mystery MAN Ron and I did NOT break up with you!” Kim shot back.
“Save it Kim. Monique hinted there might be someone else. Plus you’ve been actin’ freaky weird lately. I just wish you would’ve told me,” the boy countered and the anger on his face softened to a look of hurt.
“Oh Ron, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I love you. I do, I just… well, it’s complicated.” Kim felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had been so wrapped up in her own feelings and the sitch with Shego she had nearly forgotten about her best friend and the sitch with him.
“Does he make you happy?” Ron asked then leaned closer to her and lowered his voice, “Does he do… you know… what I couldn’t?”
The hero looked at her despondent sidekick. She could see the tears in his eyes as well. She took a deep breath. “Ron, promise me we’ll always be best friends no matter what happens.”
“I can’t promise you that, at least not anymore. It’s like I don’t even know you,” Ron admonished wiping the tears out of his eyes. “You hurt… WHO IS IT?” he demanded raising his voice letting his anger return in force.
“There’s no other guy!” Kim insisted getting strangely angry at the blonde boy she had known since Pre-K. The bell rang. “Crap, I’m sorry I’ve gotta get to detention. I promise, I’ll tell you everything but I need you to be my friend right now. I NEED you Ron!” the redhead pleaded to him.
Little did Ron know but it was taking Kim Possible all of her reserve to not start crying. She wanted to be honest with him even though she feared she would lose him forever if she did. This was exactly what she didn’t want to have happen.
Wow she’s really hurt too. The boy sighed and nodded, “Okay Kim for now we’re still friends but this thing you’re goin’ through, it better be big.”
Kim forced a smile, “Monumental and thank you.” She gave her ex-boyfriend a hug and ran off to detention.
“Aren’t ya gonna open the box KP?” Ron yelled after her in the hall.
Kim didn’t reply she just quickened her pace away from the blonde teen and hurried off to ISS.
“You’re late Possible!” Barkin snapped as she came into the room.
“Sorry Mr. Barkin, it won’t happen again,” she apologized quickly scurrying to her desk.
“Make sure that it doesn’t!” he barked to her.
She nodded and sat down in her seat. She wanted to see what was in the box but part of her was afraid of what it might be. Being gay was one thing, loving Shego was another and she really didn’t want any reminders of her forbidden lover. She put the box out of her mind and pretended to work.
Several hours passed before she couldn’t take it anymore. She took out the photo of herself with Shego. She felt her heart sink. She looked at the smiles the two girls in the photo had. They were so happy. She was so happy. How can I spend a few hours with someone and feel that good? Is that how love works? Then she thought about how long she had been fighting Shego. How long she had wanted Shego. No, THAT’S how love works.
She took out the box and slowly began opening it. Inside was a letter and the DVD of D.E.B.S.. The hero couldn’t help but smile. She put the DVD in her backpack and began to read the note.
Sorry Princess,
As you know, I’m not one to give up without a fight. Maybe I can’t give you all that you deserve like someone else can, but I can give you all that you desire as no one else can. In all my life I’ve never met anyone who’s such my complete equal as you are. You’ve been a formidable adversary, a compassionate friend and a selfless lover. I also know all too well, that when you fight for what is good and right sacrifices must be made. I’ll understand your decision if you reject me because I know your cause is noble and your reason is just, as it was once my own. It’s because of these sacrifices that I prefer to live as I do. I’d never ask you to change who you are because I know I surely couldn’t live as I am if I didn’t have you just as you are. But I want you to know this, I’m willing to cast my pride aside, bow down at your feet and surrender to you. All I ask in return is that you do the same. Be my savior and I will be your protector.
I can’t pledge to always be good but to be good to you. I can’t promise to do what’s right but do right by you. I can’t offer you my heart because it already beats inside of you.
Deny me now if you must because the path much taken is the path most clear. But don’t betray your own heart because your soul will never forgive you. Tell me today, just once, what we both know to be true so that the sound of those words from your voice can resonate in my ears and echo through my soul forever.
I’ll be waiting for you from 10:50AM until 11:11AM on Friday morning in the gym parking lot. I know you’ll show up because only cowards run from the truth. Either way, I’ll hate you for a lifetime and love you for eternity.
Shego
“Shego!” she whispered aloud wiping the tears from her eyes. She immediately looked up at the clock on the wall; it was 11:07AM. “Damn it!” There wouldn’t even be a supervised restroom break until 11:30AM. She gathered her things and went to the front of the classroom.
She told Mr. Barkin the one line she knew would get her unsupervised out of detention. “Mr. Barkin,” she whispered leaning over the teacher.
“What is IT Possible?” he demanded loudly.
“I started my period and I need to go change. NOW!” she whispered.
“Oh.” Steve Barkin went pale and nodded to her scribbling a permission slip and waving her out of the room.
Kim Possible sprinted out to the parking lot. She caught sight of Shego’s idling car and ran over to it. The windows were rolled up and the teen stared at her reflection in the dark tint. She was trembling and breathing hard. The car doors unlocked causing her to jerk suddenly. Kimberly Ann Possible stood there holding the door handle in sheer terror. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She opened the door and got into the car.
“Princess,” Shego breathed while fighting back tears, “You came.”
Kim took another deep breath, this time however she was in the car and surrounded by the scent of leather and Shego. It made her body ache to smell it.
“Shego,” Kim hesitated trying to collect herself and settle on a train of thought, “I came as soon as I read your letter.”

Several hours earlier. The door to Dr. Drakken’s main training room slid open and a very sweaty Shego came bursting out. She was covered in syntho goo and yelling expletives as she took off in a sprint down the corridor towards her room. She was running late. She started undoing her battle suit as she tore through the lair surprising several henchmen with the flash of pale green skin. She stopped at the retinal scanner in front of her room and impatiently waited for it to grant her access.
Once inside, she stripped off the rest of her dirty battle gear and jumped into the shower. “I hate synthodrones!” she shrieked, feverishly washing the mustard yellow goo from her hair.
Dr. Drakken had called her in to test out his newest batch of drones this morning saying it was urgent he get immediate feedback on them. Aside from being faster and a little harder to destroy, they were still the same jelly filled clones as before. Shego stepped out of the shower and hurriedly began to pick out what she was going to wear.
She had just finished putting on her very sexy black and spearmint green bra with matching low cut briefs when the crackle of her video intercom sounded. “Synthodrones again Drew?” she growled not even waiting for the doctor to speak, “That is SO lame!”
“Actually Shego the drones were just a cover to keep you busy,” he informed her smiling, “while I tested the real experiment.” He put his dainty hand to his mouth trying to suppress an evil laugh.
“Real experiment?” the sidekick questioned with a sinking feeling in her stomach.
“Oh Shego, I never knew you were such a romantic!” the blue man remarked giggling.
“What ARE ya talkin’ ‘bout Dr. D? I’m late and I really don’t have time for this.” the thief replied continuing to get dressed as she listened to Drakken’s giggles become maniacal laughter.
“Oh yes, you ARE running late aren’t you?” he agreed quickly covering his mouth with both hands this time trying hard not to bust out laughing again.
“Uh, yeah, that’s what I said,” the green woman snorted putting on her makeup and wondering what the hell got into her boss.
“Late for your date…” he paused for dramatic effect. “With KIM POSSIBLE!” Drew squealed with laughter. The elated evil scientist danced around his office chanting, “Shego’s got a girlfriend, Shego’s got a girlfriend!”
Shego’s face when stark white and her pupils shrank to the size of pinheads as if she had just been blinded by a Mac Truck and was caught in it’s headlight’s bracing for impact. “WHAT? NO!!!” responded the fallen hero trying to play it off but her employer interrupted her.
“Oh yes, I know! My new experiment was a brilliant success!” he bragged smiling so big his teeth threatened to take over the video screen. “And I’ve learned so much about you… KIM-BER-LY” Drew enunciated every syllable staring at the tiny image of a truly mortified Shego on the videocom.
“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, BLUE BOY?” she roared. Her anger was now pumping the green color back into her face. Shego lit her hands and walked towards the videocom.
“Shego, now don’t get hot headed… I mean handed,” the mad scientist joked still smiling. “We wouldn’t want you to take out someone’s… EYE!” he howled pointing to his own eye and collapsing onto the floor in rolling with laughter.
Shego howled in rage and ripped the monitor off the wall, melting it with her plasma charged hands. “He’s so dead!” she seethed putting her hair into a tight ponytail and grabbing the nearest baseball cap she could find. She had no time to fix her hair and at this point she was WAY too mad to care. She emerged from her room and paced off towards Drakken’s office.
“Don’t you wanna know how I did it?” Dr. Drakken’s voice called in over the loud speakers echoing down the hall.
“Don’t YOU wanna know how I’m gonna KILL YOU!” Shego raged quickening her steps to reach his office faster.
“Oh, don’t be silly Shego we both know you’re not going to kill me,” the evil man stated.
“And how do we know this?” the villainess asked reaching his office and blasting through the door.
KPKPKPKP
Back to the present. “Drakken knows!” Shego whispered hoping that not saying it out loud would make it not so.
“About us?!?” Kim questioned hoping she was referring to something else, ANYTHING else!
“He has this new… toy that he can use to read your mind and see your thoughts without you even knowing it.” The villain took another weary breath trying not to lose it in front of her young companion. “He tested it on me this morning,” she explained still in a lowered voice to a now panicking redhead. “And he just doesn’t know about us, he knows everything, every last little detail about me!”
“Oh, this is SO NOT GOOD!” Kim shuddered. The gravity of what Shego was telling her hit her like cement. “Can’t you just…”
“What? Kill him,” the fallen hero finished the unspoken thought looking at her.
“I didn’t mean that exactly,” the redhead uttered. A thought like that would have never crossed her mind… until now.
The two women froze there then Shego shook her head. “I can’t do that Princess,” she admitted looking down, “Regardless of what you think of me I’ve never intentionally killed anyone, EVER!”
“Never?” Kim asked a little surprised. “I just thought…”
“That I was a murdering monster?” the ex-hero snorted, “I’m evil, I love bein’ bad but I’ve also got a limit,” the green woman paused looking back up into Kim’s eyes, “Why do you think I never killed you?”
“I just thought…” the crime fighter began, she never guessed, not even for a minute that her archenemy was holding back on her when they were fighting.
Shego could read the teen’s mind by her expression. “Oh yeah Kimmie, I’ve got enough power in one fingertip to fry your insides together!” the thief admitted with a laugh. “So murder’s out, NOW what do we do?” Shego asked with a crack in her voice.
“I have a plan,” Kim lied seeing the hint of panic and concern in the older woman’s eyes. “I gotta go back to detention.” She leaned in an tenderly kissed Shego on the lips.
“But what about us?” the villain asked remembering why they were together again in the first place as her young lover got out of the car.
The girl smiled. “We’re good, both us-es,” she said as she shut the door and ran back to detention.

Dr. Director called her number two agent Luz Toiez into her office. She was standing at the window looking out over the city. “Come in Luz,” she ordered as the door opened behind her.
“You wanted to see me Director,” Agent Toiez asked coming in and closing the door.
“We have a little situation with KiGo,” Betty stated, still facing the window, “It seems that Drew Lipsky has managed to get his mind on some VERY classified information.”
She turned to look at the Puerto Rican agent. “I need the Eraser and all level 5 personnel in the situation room in fifteen minutes.” the Director sighed then gave Luz a stern look, “And call in Will Du. Tell him it’s an emergency.” “It’s his first weekend off in three weeks Sir,” Luz pointed out adding, “Willie’s not gonna be happy when I call him in and you know I hate working with that tight ass!” Betty sighed again and pinched the bridge of her nose, “Luz I need both you and Will on this… and can you TRY NOT to fight with him the entire weekend?” “You’re the boss,” the agent grumbled nodding. “Anything else?”
“That will be all Luz.”
Agent Toiez saluted her superior and left the room.
Betty took another ragged breath letting out an equally ragged sigh and put a call in to Sheridan Go.
“Not the best of days to be checking up on me Bet,” Shego answered the phone in her car.
“Sheridan, I know about you and Kim Possible,” the director announced as if it was common knowledge. Shego rolled her eyes and let out an annoyed huff. It was like the whole planet was finding out about her little affair. “Why does that NOT fucking surprise me?!? Do ya have my cunt bugged?”
“I want to help you… both of you,” Betty Director offered ignoring her ex-lover’s petulance.
“What, help break us up?” Shego snapped at her, “Oh, I know, put me in jail? God knows ya don’t wanna help because ya wanna see me happy… or care about me.”
“That’s just it Sheridan. I do care what happens to you,” Betty tried to appeal to her former lover. “I know I… was not… I should have…” the head of GJ faltered, she wasn’t good at this sort of thing. “I really made a mess of things with you but you had to know we could never be,” she explained, “I left you not because I didn’t love you but because of our jobs. I did it for both of us.”
“Whatever,” the wanted criminal hissed maintaining the anger in her voice even as she felt her eyes watering from the hurt of that old, familiar wound opening. “So is that what you’re doing now?” she asked feeling the icy pain of her hurt rapidly chilling the fire of her rage. “Is it Bet? You’re trying to get me to see that my little thing with Kimmie’ll never work, ‘cause I don’t fucking care! I’m not gonna run like YOU did!” “Drakken will make Kim’s life hell!” Betty firmly said to Shego, “He’ll use what he knows about you to destroy Kim Possible and he will NOT stop there.” Shego looked up trying so hard not to cry. “I know you love her.”
The villainess closed her eyes and two tears rolled down her face. A car horn blew and she swerved back into her lane. “Drakken hasn’t even decided what he’s gonna do with this information,” Shego began as she pushed all her emotions down so she could focus, “And besides, Kimmie has a plan and we both know her plans never fail!” she smirked slightly at the very true statement.
“Sheridan please, if you let me help you, I can…”
“Just stop it!” Shego yelled into the phone cutting Betty off. “Damn it Bet! I don’t wanna be your pet project charity case to help you expunge your guilty conscience. You fucking broke my heart! I’ll never forgive you for that!”
“Sheridan, I’m truly sorry for hurting you. If I had known how things were gonna turn out I wouldn’t have ever…” the older woman continued only to be cut off again.
“Oh please, you just miss your eye! Not me!” the villainess retorted.
“You were so young and so intense Sheridan. Your passion scared me! I just couldn’t deal with my feelings. Both for you and… well, it wasn’t easy for me okay!” Betty sighed, “You were the one and only woman I ever loved.”
“Shut the fuck up! You cared more about your career director!” the former hero spat with her eyes watering again, “You weren’t gonna let something like love stand in your way!”
“Sheridan please, you were just a baby. You had your whole life in front of you… plus you and I both thought there was no room for a relationship in this business.”
“Kim Possible does it,” Shego replied with her thought’s returning to her Kimmie.
“And she makes it look so easy,” Dr. Director agreed smiling, “She’s truly a remarkable young lady.”
“Yeah, SHE can do ANYTHING!” Shego cheered snidely to the one-eyed woman, finally smiling. Both women laughed. “You know Bet; I’m falling for her so hard. I think I love her more than I loved you.” Shego confessed looking up at the road ahead trying not to cry again, “And that scares the shit out of me!”
“I’m sure she feels the same for you. I‘ve read Kim’s profile half a dozen times,” Betty continued, “She’s not one to play with someone’s emotions. But then again, nothing in her profile would suggest that she would even be remotely interested in homosexuality.”
“Well, we know that part’s wrong don’t we!” the thief responded snorting at the suggestion. “Anyway, whatever Kim’s feelings, I don’t wanna see her hurt.”
The former hero thought about her relationship with the director. “By anyone,” she added finally. “Bet, I’ll keep ya in the loop but I don’t wantcha to get involved until I have a chance to tell Kimmie about us.”
“Great.” Betty nodded.
“Oh, and one last thing… how did you know about me and Kimmie in the first place?” Shego questioned wondering who else might know by now. There was a long silence and for a moment the ex-hero thought the call might have been dropped then she heard Bet sigh. “Please tell me you DON’T have me bugged!” Damn it Bet!
“I was reviewing the reports from the reverse polarizer incident with your brothers and…” Dr. Director replied at last then she hesitated again.
“AND?” fallen hero pressed getting impatient.
“I saw the look in your eyes in the surveillance cameras from Middleton Mall,” Betty explained, “I knew that look and… I saw the way Kim looked at you.” Betty smiled broadly and Shego could hear the smile even over the phone. “It was obvious Sheridan!”
“That transparent hunh?” Shego sighed thinking about how guarded she usually is with her feelings.
“I knew what to look for,” the head of Global Justice replied softly. “Take care of yourself Shego, and ah… your little Kimmie too,” she playfully added.
“Goodbye Bet,” she snorted hanging up with a smile on her face.

Dr. Drakken was quiet possibly the happiest man on the planet. Sure, he had discovered that his trusted sidekick had been having a torrid affair with his archenemy for which he was a little hurt, okay really hurt and disappointed. But what made him so joyous was the knowledge that his biggest threat, the great teen crime fighter Kim Possible, was having a sordid, nasty, dirty affair with the world’s most wanted women, superhero turned super villain Shego. Now that was information worth sharing!
The blue man was in his office with his cousin Motor Ed. The first person he told about his new revelation. They were having coffee and abruptly stopped talking as Shego entered the room.
“Oh now what?” she groaned flustered. Not more shit! Shit to fuck! I’m sick of shit!
“No, nothing,” Drew Lipsky replied taking a sip of coffee trying not to grin.
“Reallly?” the villainess drawled raising an eyebrow. She wasn’t buying his lie.
“Dude seriously! You and Red?” Motor Ed boomed finally, “That IS sooo HOT!”
“He KNOWS, You told him? How could you?” Shego yelled at her employer with the last question sounding more like a whine. By this point she was too frustrated to be mad.
Drew and Ed collapsed laughing at Shego’s bewilderment. Neither man had ever seen the green vixen so distraught.
“Soooo, I just wanna know one thing,” Ed deadpanned sounding very serious, “Which one of you is the man?” The two men collapsed into laughter again.
“She’s more of a man than you’ll ever be!” the super powered villain snarled hurling a plasma blast at him. The blast took Ed by surprise knocking him onto the floor gasping for air.
Drakken, who had been hunched over in laughter, now sat up looking wide eyed at a very pissed off Shego. “Let’s talk about this Shego,” Dr. Drakken offered lifting up his hands in surrender.
“No!” the green woman shouted reaching over the table and picking up the scientist by his collar. “If YOU think that just BECAUSE you know something you SHOULDN’T know, I’m gonna bow down to you, THINK AGAIN!” Shego howled lifting Drew off the ground.
He could feel the heat of the ex-hero’s wrath warming the air. “Sh-She-Shego, n-n-now, please d-don’t be to-too hasty,” Drakken stammered, he was now truly afraid of his super powered sidekick. She threw him against the table and stormed out of the room.
