Adoption

Kim was helping her friend sort through her things in the old lair since she was moving in a few days. She had procrastinated in packing due to the fact she had been enjoying herself too much with her freedom from the alien invasion. Global Justice had given her a worldwide pardon and she had been going out to clubs and other social things she couldn't do when she was a villain. Shego had told her to go through the junk in the box in the closet.

Kim was going through it and found old random doodles that had no significance. There was nothing in there of importance, until Kim came across a folder. She opened it up and saw that it was filled with documents. She read them and noted that they were adoption papers. "Give me that," Shego said as she took it away from Kim. "Did you see my name?"

"No," Kim said honestly.

"Good," she was relieved.

"But you were adopted?" With her secret out, Shego knelt beside Kim keeping the folder closed.

"Yes, but it was just Hego. And yes, they are my real brothers."

"Why did Hego adopt you?" Kim questioned.

"He adopted Mego and Wego, too," she explained. "And let's just say my parents weren't really all that great and leave it at that." Kim wouldn't press any further despite her curiosity. She would learn the full story eventually, just not today.

Mermaid

There were things every girl would talk about whether they were five or twenty five, and that would be which Disney Princess they would be. Kim had this discussion with her friends on multiple occasions and it was just fun; she couldn't describe why, but it just was. Ron had tried to have that discussion with her, but he had compared her to Mulan. As fitting as that was, Kim was always Ariel from The Little Mermaid because she was a redhead just like how Tara was Rapunzel, Yori was Mulan, and Monique was Tiana.

"Shego, which Disney princess are you?" she questioned her one day.

"Excuse me?" she said, one eyebrow higher than the other; for some reason Kim thought she was one of the few people who could pull that off.

"You heard me," Kim said, frowning. "I'm Ariel, you know, from The Little Mermaid!" she smiled again. "Now, who are you?"

"Ursala," Shego said with a straight face.

"What? No you're not!" Kim exclaimed and laughed at the response.

"It makes about much sense as to why you're the mermaid," Shego shrugged.

"What? I've always been Ariel because she's a red head."

"So does Merida and that other oneā€¦Princess Anna from the new one," Shego explained.

"You're Elsa!" Kim decided, ignoring Shego's comment.

"Enlighten me," Shego rolled her eyes.

"Because you have powers!"

And that was when Shego sneaked out of the room without Kim knowing as she continued to explain why she was Ariel and Shego was Elsa.

Shoes

"Those are really nice. You should buy them."

"Ron, you're just saying that!"

"Seriously, KP, they're very pretty now grab them and go pay for them so we can get out of here." The blond twenty one year old loved his girlfriend, but he had to admit he hated shopping with her. Why couldn't she have taken Monique with her? Or even Shego? Why him?

"No, Ron, I can't just buy them. I have to think about it."

"You've been thinking for like seven hours!" Ron sighed. There wasn't even one of those little benches around for him to sit on. Kim continued to look at a pair of blue earrings that Ron honestly thought looked perfectly fine and they were at a reasonable price. Why couldn't she just be quick about it?

"Stop it, Ron! It hasn't been seven hours," Kim rolled her eyes and crossed her arms to look at him. "Why did you even come shopping if you were just going to complain the whole time?"

"I never-hey, KP! Wait up!" Ron said as he went after her.

"Just look at these shoes!" Kim exclaimed as she held up a red three inch heel.

"What about the earrings?" Ron asked her.

"Oh, those?" Kim said, not taking her eyes off of the shoes. "I don't really want them anymore." Ron was grateful for the bench nearby and he took a seat. It was going to be a much longer day than he anticipated.

Crutch

"There were things that my father would say to me and do to me. I can't see him. I don't think I could face him," Shego confessed after her father called to attend one of the many celebrations for Dr. Drakken defeating the aliens. Drakken had asked her why she wouldn't want her own father to attend. He assumed she was distant with her parents because she had been a villain and they didn't approve of her lifestyle choice. However, it seemed that things went beyond that due to her confession. They had been arguing over this fact, and now he felt rotten. He shouldn't have assumed that she was just being a brat.

"I'm sorry," he managed to say. He noticed the intense emotion on her face, and he wasn't sure if she was going to be angry or upset. He stood his ground and refrained from flinching. He was kind of hoping she wouldn't throw him out a window.

"For what? You don't know what he did. Not many people do," she crossed her arms and for some reason, she looked very small to him.

"I meant I was sorry for going on about this."

"Oh," was all that came out of her mouth. "It's whatever. I don't need him."

"I know you don't," he said, giving her a smile. She didn't need to say another word as she stepped closer to him. Shego hesitantly let her body lean against his as hers collapsed as she remembered the horrors she went through as a child. Dr. Drakken would hold her up, not letting her fall because he promised himself a long time ago that he'd always be her crutch.

Morning

The alarm went off, blaring in his ear as he was stupid enough to leave his phone on full volume right next to his head on his pillow. He must have passed out the night before as he was setting the dreadful alarm. Ron opened his eyes and moaned in annoyance from being disturbed from his sleep. He shut off the alarm and looked up at the ceiling. It was still dark out, and Ron thought that nobody should ever have to wake up this early for anything no matter what.

He looked over to Kim who was rubbing her eyes. She looked irritated and Ron decided he shouldn't say anything to her for a while because she could be grumpy sometimes. He watched as she grumbled that she was going to take a shower and walked towards the bathroom. He nodded despite her not being able to see him because, well, it was dark.

Ron looked at his phone and saw that it was only four. Why were they going to the airport like normal people? Couldn't they just sleep until noon and call in a favor? Maybe ask Dr. Drakken to use his hovercar? Ron stood up and wandered over to the closet to get dressed. Perhaps that would wake him up. As he walked towards the closet, he stubbed his toe on his suitcase and swore. But that, of course, woke him up.

Ron Stoppable knew this was a bad idea. Neither he nor Kim were morning people before nine o'clock.

Dance

Ron wasn't a dancer. In fact, he would be considered to be the kind of person that had two left feet. He had danced with Kim before, but that was at prom and they had just saved the world; of course he hadn't been nervous that time. But this time, they'd be going to an important function where he and Kim would really have to dance, not just slow dance. Kim had actually mentioned that they'd be dancing a waltz or something (he honestly had no idea) and she laughed, saying that she didn't know any dances so it wasn't a big deal if they made fools of themselves.

However, Ron wanted to impress her. He wanted to show her that he could do something that she couldn't, and of course, he'd gladly lead her on the dance floor. No more Ron Stoppable as the bumbling fool of a sidekick! Instead he'd be, "Ron Stoppable, the Totally Badical Dancer."

"Seriously?"

Had he accidentally said the last part? In front of Shego nonetheless? Ron sighed and was somehow not embarrassed. He was disappointed and realized that he'd never be a dancer. He would never be that awesome boyfriend who knew how to dance amazingly like those men in the movies.

"I don't know anything about being badical," Dr. Drakken said the last word with disdain. "But I do know how to dance. I can teach you a thing or two, Stoppable." Oh great! Drakken overheard him, too! Before he knew it, Drakken had put on a record and pulled Shego up off the couch.

"Just what do you think you're doing? I don't dance!" she said firmly as he put one hand on her waist and held the other. Ron was shocked when they glided perfectly across the living room floor. Who knew those two had moves?

"Don't give me lip," Drakken said to her. "If you couldn't dance, you wouldn't be this great at it. Plus, most people don't naturally know how to swing dance."

At that event, Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible were the main couple on the dance floor.


Thanks to zzzoo99 for the word Adoption! Updates may be random now since school started, but I'm going to try my best and update once every week or two :)
