The obstacles really were not enough. My parents did not want us to sleep in the same bed in their house, so we have moved into Shego's apartment by now. It is quite roomy, as no one ever thought of taking her ill-gotten money away from her. We still visit my parents regularly, though. She is rather easy with them by now, which I am very glad for. Ron nearly flipped when I told him Shego was going to accompany us on our missions and that we were moving together, but he got over it eventually. He still is dreading she might one day go evil all over again, but it has gotten better. He is trying real hard to be a friend to her instead of hating her, and even though at first I am sure he only did that for me, by now he does it because he really wants to be her friend. Monique was as easy-going as even on meeting Shego. We already met several times, the three of us, and she and Shego actually grew pretty good friends. Even the majority of the public has been supporting. Occasionally someone throws an insult at us on the street, but most people are rather supportive than anything else, some even telling us they envied us for having the guts to pull this through. The only real stray light was my grandmother who said she could not really accept me being with another girl. She still comes to see me, but she just pretends I and Shego are only roommates. It hurts, but it could be way worse, I recon. After all, everyone else is accepting of our relationship.

A smile plays along my lips. All the problems we had and have about Shego being with me seem insignificant compared to the intense joy I feel just looking at Shego. My Shego. I am feeling giddy all over. It seems so unbelievable. We finally can be together and nobody is going to put her to jail, instead I can be with her all the time.

"I love you", I mumble sleepily into her direction. She pulls me closer, and though it is dark, I am sure she is smiling.

"I love you, too", she says. And that is all I need to know right now.

The End
