"This is the third one this week!"

Shego had been getting drowned in gifts for months. Some secret admirer. She had no earthly idea why they would choose her. She's green, she's abrasive, and she's a wanted criminal in eleven countries. Not to mention if she ever caught them they could be in a world of pain. She chose not to try too hard since she liked the attention.

She thought it had to be a joke at first, or possibly a bomb. They had found her secret house outside of Middleton. She had to have a place to stay with Dr. D's labs constantly being blown up. Not even Global Justice knew about this place. It was annoying that someone was able to locate her, but a little sweet at the same time. Usually guys only looked at her as a one night stand because she was exotic, the way this guy was talking he was in love with her.

Usually It was a small gift. A poem, a story, flowers, chocolates, etc. She wondered what it would be today. She opened the box, surprised to see it contained another jewelry box.

She held the box gingerly. Shego rarely got nervous but this was exciting. She hadn't gotten jewelry from them yet.

It was a platinum and gold necklace with an heirloom emerald pendant accentuated by diamonds. By her estimations, which she was very good at due to her chosen profession, it had to cost over ten thousand dollars. Shego almost wanted to cry. Whoever this was from really had it bad for her. If they were willing to spend this much on her why not ask her out? Were they scared of her reaction? She hadn't killed anybody. Yes she was intimidating and tough but not a killer. If they knew her well enough to send her presents they had to know she wouldn't hurt them badly if at all after these things no matter who they were. What was it?

Shego's line of thought was cut short by Drakken calling her on her communicator. After a sigh she answered

"What's up Dr. D?"

"I have come up with a brilliant new plan for world domination. I have improved upon the design of the truth ray!"

Shego held her tongue. She wanted to laugh but she waited for a better joke opportunity. "How is it improved? Lasts more than 24 hours?"

"No! It now has long range capabilities. We can crash entire governments by making them tell the truth, and who shall be there to pick up the ashes of civilization Shego?"

"Literally any honest person who cares about their community and country?" Perfect snark opportunity.

"No Shego. I, Drakken!" He smiled his giant evil smile "Come to the newest lab in 30 minutes. I have the perfect first test subject in mind." Drakken hung up the call as he was wringing his hands together in excitement.

Shego placed the pendant safely back in it's case then began walking towards her hovercraft. This idea was completely and utterly horrible with no chance of success, but Drakken's monumental failures were always funny.

Kim and Ron

Kim and Ron just got through eating with her family and were on their way to school.

"Hey KP how are things with Josh?" After he stopped jelling Ron saw things didn't really change much. They still saw each other a lot but weren't practically codependent. Plus it gave him a chance to do activities KP wouldn't enjoy.

"He's dreamy." She batted her eyes then went on a daydreaming spiel about future date plans. Ron didn't actually care at all, but taking an interest went a long way in keeping KP happy.

Ron heard a strange sound and looked up, he saw something heading towards Kim. He didn't have time to tell her to dodge and she was too spaced talking about Josh to see it. He shoved her out the way and took the hit.

Kim landed in a bush and was not pleased to say the least. "What's the sitch, Ron?"

Ron nervously laughed then blurted out "Something was about to hit you and you were too busy babbling about Josh to see it." He quickly slapped his hands over his mouth.

Kim was confused, she knew Ron wasn't that interested when she talked about Josh but he usually played along like friends do. She had an idea of what might be happening but wanted to be sure.

"Ron, when Monique bent over in Bueno Nacho and you said you were looking at the coupons, what were you looking at?"

Ron fought a losing battle to keep his hands over his mouth.

"Her butt, It's pretty amazing. One of the nicest in the school. I just didn't want her to think I was a pervert." Ron said then his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He couldn't believe he just said that.

Kim just had a devilish smirk on her face as she called Wade.

"Hey Wade, I think Drakken has a long range truth ray, any chance you could help with a location, and a ride?"

The lab was easy enough to find. About an hour outside of Middleton by car. Wade said something about tracking the trajectory with a military satellite. They decided they had to blow it up because whatever Drakken's plans were with the device they couldn't be good. There were an abnormally large amount of henchmen this time around. So Kim decided it would be best for her to trounce them while Ron distracted Shego. He couldn't fight her but he could run.

Ron was almost at the self destruct, then Shego caused him to fall with a plasma bolt. He landed on his back and she just stood over him, smirking. She was about to knock him out but noticed he didn't have an ounce of fear in his eyes. In fact it looked like he was checking her out.

"You like what you see sidekick?" She teased.

Ron knew if he blurted out his answer Kim would hear. He didn't want to be chewed out later so he kicked Shego's legs out from under her. Causing her to land on him and bear hugged her.

Shego was about to punch him in the stomach when Stoppable started whispering in her ear.

"I love what I see, you're perfect. Most beautiful woman I've seen in my life."

Shego had no response. That was unexpected. She even forgot to punch him. While she was mulling over what the hell just happened the alarms for the lab started blaring. She looked at the self destruct and saw the molerat waving at her and could swear he was chuckling.

"How do we always forget the damn molerat." She thought.

Ron pushed her off then delivered a double kick to her midsection and rolled through. He knew she probably had a million questions and he did not feel like answering them right now. Shego glared at him quizzically as her and Drakken left on the hovercraft, the henchmen scattered to the wind.

Kim, Ron, and Rufus did a 3 way high five as the base exploded behind them. Ron had to admit he started out scared of these missions, but there was no feeling like blowing up a building with the approval of the most powerful governments on earth.

"So how was it fighting Shego? I know she can be pretty tough but you seem fine." Kim said, patting him on the back and smiling.

Ron thought quick on his feet before he was forced to answer, then replied "No big, she seemed pretty distracted today. I think I put her off her game."
