The Twists and Turns of Love – Chapter 15

August 12th, 2005

“Kim, we might have a problem!”

Kim just sighed as she held the Kimmunicator in front of her, watching Wade furiously typing on his keyboard. She had hoped that she and Ron could enjoy a nice quiet day lounging on the beach of Lake Middleton, but shouldn’t have been so surprised to be interrupted. She called Ron over, who had been happily splashing in the water with Rufus. He walked over slowly, obviously irritated, but didn’t say anything as he stepped within view of Wade on the screen.

“So what’s the sitch?”

“Drakken and Shego have escaped, and I think they are up to something already. A high-powered laser was stolen from a government lab in Ohio just a couple hours after their escape. I think I’ve got a trace on them. I’m trying to isolate it further, but it looks like he’s set up base again in the Canadian Rockies. I’ll have a better fix by the time you guys are in the air.”

Kim looked down at the one-piece bathing suit she was wearing and smiled. “Think you can give us a few extra minutes, so we can get changed?”

The sheepish look on Wade’s face was priceless. “Oh, sorry. I’ll have your ride meet you at your house in fifteen!”

“Please and thank you!”

Kim, tucked the Kimmunicator back in her bag and looked over at a downcast Ron. “And I was looking forward to a fun in the sun day. Why can’t the villains only attack on rainy days when there’s nothing to do!”

Rufus just nodded his head in agreement. “Yeah… fun!”

Kim just smiled. “Don’t worry guys, we’ll stop Drakken quick and be back here in no time.” Kim paused as she scooped up her towel and bag, and watched Ron grab his own gear. “Ready to go, Hon?”

Ron just looked at her, a weird smirk on his face. “Hon? Hon? Naww… doesn’t work for me. My parents call each other Hon, and I really don’t want that image when I lean in for a kiss.”

Kim shivered at that. “No, I so don’t want that. How about Dear? Sweetie?”

Both teens started laughing as they made their way home to change.

“SHEGO!”

The dark-haired woman looked up from her nails to watch Drakken struggling to maneuver the laser into place, and had to work hard to suppress a laugh as his legs moved frantically while barely budging an inch. “How’s it going Dr. D?”

“I could really use a hand here!”

Shego just shook her head, returning her attention to her nails. “Not in my contract. I lift it during the job, but after that, it’s the henchmen’s job.”

Drakken just glared at her. “You know we haven’t had time to get new henchmen! Hrrmmm… fine! I’ll do it myself!”

Shego just smiled, lifting one hand to see her handiwork up close. “So, what is your brilliant plan anyways?”

Drakken just grunted once, and then let go of the laser, not satisfied with where it was, but too tired to try and move it further. “It is simplicity itself Shego. Kim Possible will not be expecting us to attack so soon after breaking out of prison. All we need to do is mount this laser on one of the hovercraft, fly down to Middleton, and then we can destroy the cheerleader once and for all! We will have complete surprise on our side! HAHAHAHA!”

Shego just looked up at him incredulously. “That’s your master plan? Oh God, you go from taking over Beuno Nacho, building incredible robots, and a synthodrone to distract Kimmie to… this?” Her hand waved at the laser, a look of almost disgust on her face. “Dr. D, I think you’ve lost it!”

Drakken just shook his head. “No, think about it. We always wait a day or two before striking when we break out. This time, we will catch her off guard, and nothing can stop us from taking over the world!”

Shego just picked a magazine up off the table, not even bothering to look up at him again. “Fine, whatever. Just let me know when Kimmie gets here to stop you. I owe her big for what she did to me last time. You know how long it took me to get rid of the split ends she caused?”

“Aww… they didn’t have good conditioner in prison? Too bad! Maybe you can ask for a better brand when we send you back there!”

“KIM POSSIBLE?” Drakken’s face took on first a look of surprise as he looked up and saw his arch-foe descend quickly from the ceiling, but tried to quickly cover it up with a smile. “Ahah… you fell right for my trap!”

“Dude, you so did not have a trap prepared.”

Drakken jumped backwards as Ron, much faster than intended, crashed to the floor, but quickly jumped to his feet. He looked between the two teens, then looked over at Shego. “SHEGO!”

“I’ve got it!” The fire flared in Shego’s hands as she leapt from her seat, flying right at her nemesis, and their attacks became a flurry of motion.

Ron leaned back on one of the computer panels, just a few feet away from Drakken, as he watched the fight with interest. “Shego is so going down!”

Drakken just smiled. “Ah… but you see Buffoon, Shego is really mad about what Kim did to her hair in their last encounter.”

Ron glanced over at Drakken before turning back to the fight. “Dude, I know you know my name. Doesn’t matter though, cause my girlfriend is really pissed about having to leave the beach on such a nice day.”

Drakken just laughed. “Well, that might be, but Shego…” Drakken paused, and looked over at Ron. He turned to look at Kim, and then back to Ron again, his jaw almost hitting the floor. “You? And her? You two are dating?”

Shego paused, backing away, as she turned to look over at Ron, then glancing back at Kim. “Are you serious? The two of you are actually dating?”

Kim had been ready to expect anything, but watching Shego double over in laughter, holding tight to her sides, was definitely not one of them. “Are you just about finished? I would like to get back to what we were doing.” Kim stood with her arms crossed, tapping her foot almost impatiently, as she watched Shego rolling on the floor.

“Oh my God… this is… this is too good!” Shego had finally settled down somewhat, lying on her back with her hands over her stomach, allowing the rest of her laughter a chance to subside. “Oh, I so needed that. Thank you! Now Dr. D owes me a raise.”

Both teens just looked at the villains, surprise etched on their faces, as Drakken just crossed his arms over his chest, indignation evident. “Hmff… it’s not fair! Who would have thought that they would have hooked up?”

Shego slowly rose to her feet, a smile firmly in place. “Oh come on, every single villain figured it would happen eventually. So tell me, when did you two finally hook up, huh? Please tell me it was July?”

Ron just shifted a little uncomfortably. “Umm… it was kinda the day we stopped you, in early June.”

Shego just shrugged, the smile not fading. “Too bad, I had you guys pegged for last month. Looks like Dementor won the pool.”

Kim’s jaw just dropped when she heard that. “The VILLAINS were betting on when we would get together?”

Shego just shook her head. “Oh come on, it was sooo obvious! I figured it was only a matter of time before Stoppable told you how he felt.”

Kim looked over at Ron, incredulous. “You told Shego how you felt about me before you told me?”

Ron just shook his head, holding his hands in front of him almost defensively. “Of course not… well… maybe I might have let something slip once… but she tricked it out of me!”

“Oh come on, I just asked where Kimmie was and you went all defensive. I’m not an idiot you know!”

Kim had finally had enough. “Are we done with this yet? Can we go back to fighting now?”

Shego turned back to Kim, and evil grin on her face. “Just one more question, just one more! So… how is he?”

Kim looked confused. “What do you mean?”

Shego sighed. “Oh come on, you know what I mean! How is he in bed?”

Kim and Ron replied in unison, and Kim’s face went bright red. “WHAT?”

“Oh come on, he’s clumsy in fights, he isn’t that smart, he’s not that good looking, so he must be a real monster in the sack! Come on Kimmie, you can tell me!”

Kim was too mortified to speak, but Ron just couldn’t not say something. “It isn’t… I mean… we haven’t done that yet.”

Shego turned to Ron, a look of sympathy on her face. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that! I always figured she was frigid.”

Ron moved quickly, crossing the room in record time, as he saw Kim shaking in a combination of fury and embarrassment, her fists clenched though unable to move as her fury was so great she was locked in place. He took her arms in his hands blocking the way to Shego, a look of fear on his face. “OK, um… I think we have about twenty seconds before she tries to kill you, so what do you say you do your whole escape thing, we return the laser, and everyone goes home happy?”

“Fine by me, let’s go!” Shego moved quickly, grabbing a clearly stunned Drakken by the arm and dragging him to the hovercar. They were well out of sight before Kim snapped out of it.

“THAT BITCH!”

“It’s OK KP, they’re just words.”

“She thinks she had a problem with split ends last time, wait till she sees what I do to her precious hair the next time! Split ends will be the least of her problems!”

“Kim, it’s all right. They’re gone, we won.”

“And frigid? She has the audacity to call me frigid because I won’t jump in the sack at a moment’s notice like she would! I’m not frigid, am I?”

Ron just shook his head, leading her out of the lair. “Most definitely not.”

“And what right does she have to laugh at us? I mean, she and Drakken are probably doing it like monkeys non-stop. Now that’s laughable!”

Ron stopped as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Then he screamed and fell to the floor, holding his head. “Uhhh…. Bad image, bad image… get it out of my head!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drakken could only sit in the hovercar, confusion evident, as he listened to Shego chuckle. “What just happened?”

“Well Dr. D, we just won, though we might want to lay low for a few days. Kimiie’s going to be mad for a little while.”

“But… my laser… my plan?”

“Oh, the plan was stupid anyways.”

“Shego, your words hurt!”

“That was my plan!” Shego continued to laugh all the way to the back-up lair.
