Chapter 1: A Real Date
Kim quietly entered her apartment after her chance meeting with Shego. The events that took place after their reunion were fresh in her mind, and she still could not believe that it only took a few mere hours for her to find herself falling for the green-hued ex-villain.
As the redheaded hero made it to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, she heard movement coming from the other side of the apartment.
"Kim is that you?" Monique asked into the dark room.
"Yeah, Mo." Kim answered her roommate and turned on the kitchen light. "Sorry to wake you."
"You didn't. Ron's snoring was keeping me awake. If I don't fall asleep before he does, it takes forever for me to go to sleep."
"Oh, he's here? Where's Felix?"
"He's at Ron's. Since Zita is living at home with her parents, Ron told Felix that they could catch up at his apartment and he would spend the night here so they could have some time to themselves."
"That's cool." Kim said and then took a drink from her water bottle.
"Ok girl, dish! How was your night? What caused the sudden change of behavior between you and Shego at the club and how come you're wearing clothes that don't belong to you?"
Kim was not surprised by the sudden inquisition; she expected the fashion diva to ask about her night. "Actually, it was an interesting night." She answered and sat down at the dining room table.
Monique went to the refrigerator to get herself a drink and then she joined the redhead at the table. "Ok, T.M.E. Start from the beginning and don't leave anything out!"
"Well, I guess everything started when Shego and I went to the bar for our last round of drinks. We ran into Rachel, her ex-girlfriend, who is a total bitch by the way, and after hearing some of the conversation between the two of them, I realized that Rachael was trying to embarrass her, so I kissed Shego and pretended to be her girlfriend. Then after that, we had to pretend to be a couple so we could keep up the illusion for the rest of the night."
"Ok, that explains that, so what'd you do after we left?"
"Pretty much the same thing that we were doing while you were there, trying to make Rachael jealous. You should have seen her face; she was raging by the time we left!"
"What time was that?"
"Um, around two-thirty."
Monique looked at the clock and then back at her friend, "Ok that leaves almost four hours unaccounted for. How did you ended up in Shego's clothes?"
"We ended up at her place, because I said I was hungry, and she offered to make me breakfast. When we got there, she gave me some clothes to change into so I would be more comfortable."
"What'd you do after you ate?"
"Nothing." Kim said and then took another drink of her water.
Monique just eyed her friend. She did not buy that. She could tell that the redhead was not telling her everything. "Ok, and I guess that hickey on your neck just magically appeared."
Kim's eyes went wide and she put her hand on her neck. "Really, there's a hickey?" She said in a slight panic.
"No, but I could just tell there was more to the story. I guess I was right." Monique said smugly.
"Ok, yeah, I just wanted to see if you would buy it. Anyways, when she started laughing at my burnt popcorn story, I told her that I loved her laugh, and the next thing I know we were making out. I got so lost in what we were doing, I didn't even realize how far it had gotten until Shego said something about taking my clothes off."
"Oh, did you let it continue?"
"No, but it took a lot of will-power for me to stop it. I almost gave in."
"That good huh?"
"Oh my God, yes! I have never had anyone make me so weak in the knees and fuzzy headed so quickly. Let's just say that you were right. I was crushing hard over her; it just took me a little while to realize it."
"I told you. So, how did Shego feel about stopping?"
"Well, that's where the night got interesting. One minute she's calling me a tease and the next minute she's crying."
"Ok, you need to fill in some of the gaps here." Monique said confused. From what she knew about Shego, she was not one to cry easily.
"I told her that I don't do hook-ups and then I asked if she felt anything for me other than wanting to sleep with me. That's when I found out that Rachael's got her so messed up that she's actually avoided being in relationship for seven years because she's so afraid of getting hurt again."
"Whoa, that's deep!"
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"So what happened?"
"Well, I managed to calm her down, and then I left the ball in her court when I told her that I wanted to get to know the person that I was falling for and I hoped she would do the same for me by taking a chance at having a real relationship with me."
"So, how'd it turn out?"
"I'm picking her up at seven o'clock tonight for our date!" Kim said with a bright smile.
"Nice! What are you two going to do?"
"Well I don't want to rush her into anything, so we're going to take things slow. I figured something simple like dinner and a movie would be a good start."
"Sounds good." Monique said and then she got this amused look on her face. "The hero and the villain, good conquering evil…classic!"
"Ex-villain actually, she and Drakken got out of the game years ago after their pardon, but yeah, it is kind of cliché." Kim chuckled and then she stood up from the table. "Well, I better get some sleep; I want to be fresh for my date."
"Yeah, I should get back in there. Ron is such a cuddler, and he'll be missing me soon." Monique said with a yawn.

Shego arouse from her sleep around noon and when she looked at the clock, she groaned. She had only been asleep for four hours as she had a hard time falling asleep after Kim left her that morning. Her emotions and feelings were so conflicted that they caused her to toss and turn for hours before drifting off. Now they were taking her from her much needed rest.
"Damn it." She said to the air. She wanted to get a few more hours of sleep before she had to get ready for her date. If she was actually going to go through with it, she at least wanted to look good.
She still could not believe everything that happened with Kim the night before. To think that she had not seen the redheaded hero in almost four years, and then within a few hours she found herself agreeing to go on a real date with her was almost too much to comprehend. "Why did I agree to this?" She asked out loud. "I'm only going to get hurt again."
The former villainess was not having these thoughts because she did not believe the redhead when she said she wanted to get to know her better; she was having them because she had seven years of dread and heartbreak to get over, and there was a part of her that actually believed that no one would want to share their life with her. It might be good for a while, but then she would end up back where she was, heartbroken. She did not like being alone, but it just seemed like the safer option to her.
Then, after she finished with that thought process, there was a little voice in the back of her head that told her that she would be fine. She knew that Kim was a good person and she would not play with her emotions like Rachael did. If the girl said that she would not hurt her intentionally, then she needed to believe her and give the redhead a chance. It might just give her a chance at what she has always wanted, total and complete happiness.
"GAH! Will you just stop it?" Shego yelled. "Make up your mind and go with it! I can't take this back and forth shit anymore!"
When Shego realized that she was actually yelling at herself, she just shook her head and got out of bed. "I really think I'm starting to go off the deep end." She sighed as she left her room bound for the kitchen to get a drink.
While she sat on the couch and drank her juice in silence, she stared at the spot that Kim had been sitting in earlier and she remembered how her heart skipped a few beats when the redhead told her that she was falling for her. She put her hand on her heart when she felt it flutter.
"Ok, I'll give it a chance." She said with a small smile. She had made up her mind. Granted she still had doubts, but as surprising as it was, she really liked the feeling that she got when she thought about the younger redhead.

"Kim, can I come in?" Monique asked as she knocked on the redhead's door.
"Yeah." Kim answered. She was sitting on her bed in a robe putting lotion on her legs.
"Hey girl, I was wondering what you were going to wear tonight? I wanted to borrow your red dress and heels, but if you plan on wearing them, I'll just pick something else to wear on my date with Ron."
"No, you can have them; I'm just going to wear jeans, a nice top, and my black peep-toed heels. I figured since we're keeping it simple, I don't need to get too dressed up for the Olive Garden and the movies. I think it would look a little weird if we walked in there in cocktail dresses."
"Yeah, probably." Monique giggled.
"Where's Ron taking you tonight?"
"Chez Couteaux! He had Wade jack the reservation line so we could get in tonight."
"Wow, how'd you talk him into that?" Kim asked surprised.
"That's the best part, I didn't! He came up with this idea all on his own!"
"Really? Well, tell me how you like it. If all goes well with Shego, maybe I'll take her there sometime."
"Sure. When are you leaving?"
"Shego's condo is only ten minutes from here, so I'll probably leave here in about forty-five minutes."
"How're you feeling? I know first dates can be a little nerve racking."
"I'm mostly excited, but I am a little nervous. I want this date to go well, not so much for me, but more for Shego's sake. She's been through a lot and I want the first date that she's allowed herself to go on in seven years to be a good experience. If things go badly, she may never date again!"
"Girl, you can't think like that. If you do, things will go wrong. Just be positive and it'll all work itself out. Trust me."
"Thanks, Mo. That's what I've been telling myself all day, but hearing it from someone else really helps."
"No prob. Well, I guess I'll leave you to get dressed. Thanks for letting me borrow these and have fun tonight!"
"I will. You too."
"Ok, see ya." Monique said and then she closed the door to the redhead's room.
Kim went to her dresser and put the lotion that she had been using in its place and then she got dressed, did her hair, and put her make-up on. When she was ready to leave, she looked at herself in the mirror one last time and then smiled. "Ok Possible, this is it!"
-()-()-()-()-()-()-
"Seriously, this can't be that complicated!" Shego huffed in frustration.
While Kim had been able to contain her nervousness while getting ready for her date, the same could not be said of Shego. She was an absolute nervous wreck. She had forgotten to ask Kim where they were going to dinner, so she was unsure of what she should wear, and she was too embarrassed to call and ask. She had tried on six different outfits, ranging from overly casual to overly dressy, and she still could not make up her mind. Eventually, she decided to go with a pair of jeans, a pair of black strappy high heels and a black blouse, figuring that it was somewhere in the middle of casual and dressy.
Then after she solved her clothing issue, she ran into another matter of importance. What was she going to do with her hair? Wavy, curly, straight, up, down, the possibilities were endless. Unfortunately, when she looked at her clock, she realized that the amount of time she had to do her hair was not endless, so she had to come up with a decision quickly. Kim would be there to pick her up soon.
As her stress level increased and the amount of time she had left to get ready decreased, she finally decided to do something different with her hair from her normal wavy do. She decided to straighten her long locks and then she parted her hair on the right and curled the ends of her hair under.
Now, all she had to do was her make-up and she would be ready to go. "Gah, I'm already worn out just getting ready for this date. I need to pull myself together or I won't make it through the night." She said to the air.
When Shego finished with her make-up, she looked herself over in the mirror. She was pleased with the way she looked and she was finally ready for her date. Well, she was ready physically, but mentally, she still trying to prepare herself. She hoped that she had a good time and she promised herself that she would try to stay positive. She knew she had to get past the 'funk' she was in. Even if it did not work out with Kim, she needed a change. She could not hold onto the pain anymore.
(Ding Dong)
Shego looked at her watch and saw that her date was right on time. She actually expected that from the redhead. "It's now or never." She sighed, as she looked herself over one more time before she went to answer the door.
"Hi, Kimmie." She greeted her date. She gave an internal sigh of relief when she noticed that she was dressed in a similar manner to Kim.
"Hi, Shego." Kim said and then she brought her gift out from behind her back. She had a single red rose that she had bought from the florist on her block. She handed the rose to pale woman and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "You look absolutely beautiful!"
Shego blushed and then she opened the door further so Kim could enter her condo. "Thanks, Kimmie. I love it! Hold on a second while I get my purse and then we can go."
"Ok, do you want me to put the rose in some water while your get your things?"
Shego hesitated for a second, "I actually don't have a vase. I got rid of them when I broke up with Rachael."
"Oh." Kim said. "That's ok, you don't need a vase; do you have a tall glass or container? That'll work too."
"Yeah, second cabinet on the top left." Shego said and then handed the flower to Kim. "Thanks, I'll just be a minute."
"Take your time, we're in no rush."
Kim went to where Shego told her to go for the glass and then filled it with water. She put the rose in the liquid and then admired the flower. It was a beautiful rose. She actually wanted to have the florist dye a white rose green, since it was Shego's favorite color, but when the florist told her that green roses meant fertility, she changed her mind. That was not the message she wanted to send tonight. One-day maybe, but not now.
"You ready Kimmie?" Shego asked when she came back.
"Yeah. Are you hungry?"
Shego was not sure if her nerves would let her eat, but she told the redhead that she was anyways. "Where are we going by the way?" Shego asked as she locked her door.
"I thought that the Olive Garden near the mall would be good, and then we can catch a movie over there if you want, but if you don't like that idea, we can go anywhere you want."
"No, Olive Garden is fine. I haven't eaten there in a while."
"Really?" Kim asked. "We eat there a few times a month because it's in a college student's budget and I can usually turn one meal into two."
"I used to do that too. I think finding a way to make your money and your meals stretch is one trick that all college kids learn when they start school."
"That is so true." Kim said with a chuckle. "My car is over here." She said pointing to her car when they made it to the street.
"Still driving the sloth I see." Shego said amused. She had spent a lot of time running away from that thing, and now she found herself going on a date in it. She did not miss the irony in the situation.
"Yeah, every time I go home for a visit, the Tweebs upgrade something on it. I have a feeling I'll be driving this car forever if they keep working on it." Kim said as they approached the car. "Here, let me get the door for you."
Shego baulked at that comment. She never had anyone open the door for her. She was always the one that did things like that, but she did think it was nice to have someone do it for her. "Thanks, Princess."
"No big." Kim said before she closed the passenger door and got in the car herself.
The ride to the mall did not take long at all. When they arrived at the Italian restaurant, they were seated immediately, since it was a Monday night and the place was less than half-full.
"This is kinda nice, huh? We have this little area to ourselves." Kim said when the hostess took them to a corner booth that only had two other couples nearby.
"Yeah." Shego said in agreement. "At least this way, whatever we talk about won't be overheard by a bunch of people." She thought to herself.
"Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm going to be your waiter tonight, can I start you ladies with something to drink?"
"I'll have a glass of the house red wine and a glass of water please?" Shego answered.
"Ok," Joe said and then he turned to Kim, "and you Miss?"
"I'll just have a coke."
"Ok, I'll be back with these in a few minutes and I'll bring you some breadsticks too."
"Thanks." Kim said before Joe left.
"You're not drinking tonight, Princess?" Shego asked.
"Well, I thought about having a glass of wine because there will be a few hours from now and when I have to drive again, but since you're in the car with me, I don't like to drink at all if I'm the driver and I have a passenger."
"That's very considerate of you."
"Yeah, I know it's only one drink and it probably won't do me any harm, but I still don't want to take the chance with someone else's life."
Shego just smiled at the redhead's thoughtfulness. She agreed with her that one drink would probably not affect her, but she appreciated the fact that she cared about her well-being. "So what are you going to have?" Shego asked changing the subject.
"I usually get the same thing when I come here, chicken and broccoli. What about you?"
"I'm thinking the spaghetti and meatballs."
"Their meatballs are pretty good here. I prefer Ron's, but these aren't bad."
"Does Stoppable cook for you a lot?" Shego asked curiously.
"Yeah, he is always trying out new recipes and perfecting older recipes on me and Monique. Coming from a person that regrettably has major issues with the kitchen, it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about eating well."
Shego was going to ask another question about Ron's cooking, but she did not get to because Joe came back with their drinks and then he took their orders.
"So how come you didn't go anywhere for your spring break?" Shego asked before she took a sip of her wine.
"Well, we did have plans to go to Aruba, but our trip was canceled because there was a hurricane headed toward the island."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Aruba is a great place to visit."
"I'm not. If we had of gone down there, you and I wouldn't be sitting here right now, and I would much rather be here with you, than some island." Kim said sincerely.
Shego blushed and she felt a few butterflies form in her stomach from Kim's answer. "Uh, thanks. That's probably the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a very long time."
"Well, you're welcome!" Kim said with a wide smile. "Hey, I was wondering. Are you going to go see your brothers while you're here?"
"Probably. I haven't seen them in a while, and I do miss them, but I don't know if I can handle them just yet. After last night, I think I need a few days before I can add any more stress to my life."
Kim giggled at that, "I know what you mean. Every time I go home, I have a process that I have to go through with my brothers. Because I'm not home as much as I use to be, they think they have to get their quota in when I'm there. My room is usually booby-trapped or ransacked and their new thing now is to ask me as many annoying and embarrassing questions as they can before I blow up on them. It can be exhausting at times."
"So you feel my pain?" Shego asked playfully.
"Totally! If you want, I'll go with you when you go to see them. That way there will be someone there to help you retain your sanity."
"Sure. I need all the help I can get with them." Shego said laughing. The two girls were in the middle of a giggle fit when Joe returned with their meals.
By this time, Shego's nervousness had lessened to a point that it was barely noticeable, so she was able to eat her food with no problem. Throughout dinner, the two women shared stories of how they had gotten the better of their brothers, their time as students at Go U, and Kim's recent missions.
After they finished eating, and Kim had signed the check, the redhead asked the one question that had been on her mind for most of the night, "When do you have to go back to work?"
"Ugh, did you really have to bring that up? I was enjoying my time NOT thinking about Drakken." Shego said seriously, but in a joking manner.
"Yeah, I guess I would too if I were you." Kim said with a smile.
"Anyways, I have to go back the Sunday after next."
"So, I get you for two weeks!" Kim said cheerfully.
Shego blushed and she felt her heart flutter again from Kim's slight outburst. "Yeah, I guess you do."
"Ok, well, while I still have you, let's get out of here and go see a movie."
-()-()-()-()-()-()-
"So what'd you think of the movie?" Kim asked as they walked out of the romantic comedy.
"I liked it. It was actually pretty funny."
"I liked it too. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. I might buy that one when it comes out on DVD."
"Yeah, I'll probably add it to my ever expanding movie collection."
"What kind of movies do you like?" Kim asked.
"I like all kinds, except horror. I can't stand those kinds of movies. I can handle blood and guts if it's a war movie or an action film, but when it's some psychopath on a brutal killing spree, I have no interest in watching that."
"We have similar taste in movies." Kim noted. "I don't do horror movies either. I refuse to watch them anymore."
"Looks like we've added another thing to our growing list of things we have in common." Shego said with a smile.
"Yeah, well I think that's a good thing." Kim said as she unlocked the car door for Shego and held it open for her to get in.
The short drive back to Shego's condo was noticeably less tense than it was going to the mall. Kim could tell on the way to dinner that Shego was pretty stressed and nervous, but now she was more relaxed and comfortable with her.
"I wasn't sure that I would, but had a great time." Shego said as Kim walked her to her door. "Thanks for everything tonight."
"You're welcome; I had a good time too. Would you like to get together tomorrow? We could go ice-skating."
"I'd like that. Maybe I won't be a nervous wreck beforehand."
"You were a nervous wreck today?" Kim asked with concern.
"Yeah, before you picked me up. I wore myself out trying to decide on an outfit and what to do with my hair."
"Well, I think you look great. I can't tell you how happy I was to have the prettiest girl in the whole restaurant and movie theater sitting next to me."
Shego's cheeks turned a crimson red from that. She could not believe how many times the redhead had managed to make her blush during their date. "That's not true."
"Yes it is. I mean that." Kim insisted and took one of Shego's hands in hers.
"Well, what if I thought that I had the prettiest girl sitting next to me?" Shego said shyly.
This time it was Kim's turn to blush. She put her free hand on Shego's cheek and leaned into the older woman and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. When they parted, Kim smiled and rubber her date's cheek. "Thanks, but in this particular case, I think I'm right," and then she kissed Shego's hand. "Have a good night. I'll pick you up tomorrow around one."
With that, the redhead turned to leave. When she reached the corner of the hallway that led to the front door, she glanced back at Shego and waved. The green-hued woman looked dazed, but she did wave back. Kim chuckled to herself as she turned the corner. The look on Shego's face told her all she needed to know, their date was a total success!
