Chapter 7: Late Nights part I

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

“Ron?” Shego asked as she put her book down “As in your sidekick?”

“Yeah that’s him!” Kim answered as she jumped up and hugged a much taller Ron, while Rufus climbed on top of her head.

“Hey KP, long time no see huh?” Ron said  as he returned the hug.

“Yeah, I was beginning to worry since you haven’t called in awhile”

He chuckled “Well, it is kinda hard to get reception over in Yamanouchi… even with Wade’s high-tech whatchamacallits”

“You mean the Kimmunicator?”

“That too, but no I don’t. He gave me all these other things”

“Oh! Right come in and meet my roommate!” she said as she grabbed one of Ron’s arms and pulled him into the room.

“Shego, this is Ron” Kim said as she pointed to Ron “Ron, this is Shego” she said as she ten pointed to Shego, while Ron stared at her and Shego glared at him.

“Honored to meet you” Shego said sarcastically as she held out her hand.

“Uhh… right, pleased to meet you to” Ron said as he grabbed her hand in his and looked at Kim, who only smiled and shrugged.

“Have you talked to Monique and Bonnie yet?” Kim asked.

“No… I only asked Wade where your room was at”

“Well, let’s go!” she said “C’mon, let’s go Shego”

“Love to, but can’t… I uh, have a lot of work to do”

“Aww, c’mon…we’ve been keeping up with our homework these past few days. A little goofing off won’t hurt”

“In my case it will, I found a pile of work I have to turn in soon”

Kim gave a sigh of disappointment “Fine… I’ll be back later” she said as she headed to the door, with Ron close behind.  

“Right…” Shego answered as she went back to reading while trying to seem as interested as possible meanwhile the pair left the room “Who am I kidding? I’m practically done with my homework!” she said after awhile when Kim and Ron had left.

“Then why didn’t you join them?” her mind asked.

“I don’t know… Kim was probably just being nice, they probably want some alone time to catch up with each other, or at least I hope that‘s all it is” she said with a sigh, she stared at the floor for awhile, then got up to go look out the window “Whatever… I need a shower, and a nap” she said as she headed over to the bathroom.

---

“I guess they’re not here” Kim said after she knocked on Bonnie and Monique’s dorm a few times.

“KP, you said there’s a Bueno Nacho here right?”

“Yeah…”

“Well Dammit! Let’s go!” he said as he looked at Kim with a serious expression, while Rufus only squeaked in agreement.

“Right, calm down Ron”

“Sorry KP, no can do. I haven’t eaten at Bueno Nacho since I started my training at Yamanouchi”

“Right, let’s go then. By the way Ron, where are you staying at? Wait, firstly why are you here?” she said as she began to walk down the stairs and to the food court.

“Jeez KP! I thought you’d be overjoyed to see me!” he said while smiling.

“No! It’s not that, it’s just that I thought you would be doing intense training nonstop until you graduated”

“Eh, we get out brakes from time to time… Sensei sent me, Yori, and a bunch of other ninjas out on a mission, supposedly Monkey Fist is in the area to steal a monkey talisman. But if you ask me, I think it’s all bogus…”

“And why is that?”

“It’s probably a distraction for us so Monkey Fist can attack Yamanouchi while so many ninjas have been sent out to protect this talisman”

“Did you talk to Sensei about it?”

“Yeah, he said he would keep a good number of ninjas back at Yamanouchi. But if it were the case of Yamanouchi being attacked, most of us here would get called back to help fend off Monkey Fist”

“And would you be one of the ninja’s that would get called back?”

“Yeah… both Yori and me would get called back”

“How long are you staying here?” she asked mournfully.

“Two weeks at the most, so stop being sad and let‘s enjoy our time together! Like we use to back when we went on missions. Besides, Yori has some friends she was going to hang out with, so I get to hang out with you more”

“So… what is it with you and Yori? Are you a couple?” Kim asked suspiciously.

Ron turned red, and Rufus sighed and sat cross-armed on Ron’s shoulder “Uh… I haven’t told you about us?”

“No…”

“I thought I did… but yeah we are a couple. So are you dating anyone?” he quickly asked to turn the tables.

The question caught Kim off guard and she blushed as her mind went quickly to Shego “N-No… what gave you that idea?”

“Nothing did… I just felt like asking” he answered slyly “Anyways, Yori and me are sharing a condo, along with other fellow ninjas staying in the area”

“Oh… say Ron, shouldn’t you be on alert?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Well, you said Monkey Fist might be in the area… so shouldn’t you be guarding the talisman or something?”

Ron looked at Kim mischievously and put his arm around her shoulder to bring her closer, he lowered his head so his mouth was to her ear and he spoke in a whisper “You see KP… I have been highly trained in Yamanouchi, even when it seems that I’m goofing off… I am actually very alert” he said as he looked from side to side to make it seem more secretive.

Kim smiled and tried to laugh “Uh-huh… what else?” she asked back in a whisper.

“I’m serious KP! My Monkey Powers have greatly improved!”

“Oh really?”

“Yep… why?” he asked as he arched an eyebrow.

“Well then… why don’t you show me right here right now?” she asked as she got into her fighting stance.

“Sorry Kim, I have to save that energy”

“Excuses, excuses….”

“Aww c’mon! you don’t believe me?”

“Not a bit”

“Whatever, Yori will tell you that I’m not a liar! So, are we almost to Bueno Nacho?” he desperately asked.

“Yes, what DO you eat over at Yamanouchi anyways?”

“Not Bueno Nacho that’s for sure… or any fast food for that matter”

“That’s probably the reason you got so tall, all this fast food was slowing down your natural growth spurt…”

“Oh? And how do you keep in tip-top shape with all this fast food around you?”

“That’s Shego’s job” she said with a smile “We spar a few times a week at night… well less times now, there’s too much snow everywhere”

“Are we there yet?”

“Yes! It’s that building up ahead” she said as she pointed at it.

“Grande size, here we come!” Ron said as he grabbed Kim’s wrist and dragged her inside. He looked around looking for his target while not letting go of Kim, once he spotted he rushed over and immediately went for the counter.

“Ron I swear…” Kim began as she rubbed her reddened wrist where Ron left a mark.

“Shh KP! Can’t you see I’m ordering?” he said as he put a finger to Kim’s lips while not taking his eyes off the menu “You want anything?” he asked after he was done making his order.

“You mean there’s actually food left? Even after you ordered?”

“Uh, yeah. It is Bueno Nacho after all”

“I’ll have a naco and water”

“That’s all?”

“Yeah”

Ron told the cashier what he wanted and paid for meal, Kim went to go find a table while he waited impatiently for his order. After waiting five long minutes he quickly got his food and ran to the table and quickly began to eat, but not before complaining that he specifically asked for everything to Grande Sized “What the heck? Why is this naco so small!? I must speak to the manager!”

“Please Ron, it’s only a naco… besides you ordered so much of everything, I don’t blame the poor people for getting confused. How are you even going to eat all of this?”

“I’ll stuff it down” he said plainly “I also have my little buddy Rufus here to help me” he said as he put out his finger to let the mole rat give him a high five.

“You haven’t changed at all have you?” Kim said as she smiled and moved her head sideways.

“So… what’s the deal with Shego?” he asked  after a minute while taking a break from eating.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, she didn’t come off as very nice earlier today”

“”She’s like that… I don’t know why though”

“Does she treat you all mean and stuff?”

“No, not really. We get along great, but I’m guessing that she’s very self conscious about her appearance…”

“You‘re talking about her skin right?”

Kim rolled her eyes “Yeah, I think that she thinks that people will not accept her because she looks different… and is able to generate green plasma”

“I’d be happy to be her friend, I she’d let me that is. I’m sure Yori would also like being her friend… ”

“Yeah, you might have a hard time trying to become friends with her though. Shego still doesn’t like Bonnie very much… but then again it IS Bonnie and she can get under people’s skin easily”

“I heard that!” said a voice behind Kim.

“Damn…” the red head muttered.

“You know it’s true girl… hey Ron!” Monique said as she walked over to Ron to give him a hug “I see you already got Bueno Nacho” she said as she scrunched up her nose when she saw the mess of wrappers and food on the table.

“Can you eat any grosser?” Bonnie asked Ron as she made her way to him.

“Maybe…”

“Are you even going to finish eating all this?” Monique asked him.

“That’s what I’ve been wondering myself” Kim said deadpanned.

“Yes! I am going to eat it… eventually”

“Well, it’s going in the garbage”

“No! I paid good money for that! KP! Stop her!”

“Sorry Ron, but your food is everywhere and Bonnie and Monique need room to sit”

“Yes we do” Bonnie agreed as she quickly picked everything up and handed it to Monique so she could dispose of it.

“Fine, but all of you owe me”

“Deal” Bonnie said as she sat down “So Ron, have a girlfriend yet?”

“As a matter of fact I do”

“So who’s the unlucky lady?”

“Well, her name is- hey! She’s not unlucky!”

“Newsflash! She’s dating you”

“Do you have a boyfriend Bonnie? Monique?” he retorted.

“Uh Ron, this little banter is between you and Bonnie… don’t get me involved”

“I bet she’s Japanese” Bonnie said with a smirk.

“So? What if she is?”

“Nothing… what’s her name?”

“Yori. And mind you, she is very lucky to have me as a boyfriend!”

“Why is that?”

“Non of your business”

“Oh-ho-ho! I see Ronny has secrets!

Ron only smiled and smirked in triumph “Okay enough you two, what do you all say if we go watch a movie and then hang out at mine and Bonnie’s dorm?”

“I’ll go” Kim said as she raised her hand.

“What? Without Shego?” Bonnie said in mock amazement as she covered her mouth with her hand.

“Shut up! She had stuff to do!” she flustered and avoided Monique‘s eyes.

Monique gave a quick glance at Kim and smiled “You’re on a roll tonight Bonnie! You’ve gotten under everyone’s skin and it’s not even midnight”

“Whatever, so I’m assuming we’re all going in my car?” she asked as she got up.

“Yup!” Kim chimed as she followed.

“Does Bonnie drive as if she bought her driver’s license?” Ron asked Monique in a whisper as they walked closely behind Bonnie.

“No… she has greatly improved” Monique answered with a wink.

“Everyone acts as if I’m deaf! I’m not THAT old…”

“On the contrary…” the young man began s he held up his index finger.

“Keep it up Ron, and you’re going in the trunk”

“What? I wasn’t going to say anything that mean! Besides, I bet your dinky little car doesn’t even have a trunk!”

“That ‘dinky’ car is going to take your ass to the movies!”

“Can it even hold all our weight?”

“Are you calling me fat!?”

He smiled slyly “Maybe…”

“That’s it… you either take the trunk or the roof, your pick”

“The trunk please” he said with a smile while Kim and Monique snickered.

---(After midnight; Kim and Shego’s dorm)--------------------------------------------------------

Hours later Kim finally returned to her dorm, she immediately saw Shego sleeping as she turned her head to the bed first. She crept in slowly to avoid making any noise and quickly changed her clothes. She then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and then made her way to bed, cringing as the mattress squeaked. Once she got comfortable Shego started to rouse “Damn…” was all she was able to think before her roommate spoke.

“Took you long enough” Shego said with a yawn as she sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Kim sweat-dropped and chuckled “Oh? It’s not that late…”

“Correction Princess…” she said as she picked her phone off from the side of the bed “It is exactly one forty-seven”

“Time flies when you’re having fun”

“Bull”

“Really… I even invited you” she said as she put her back to Shego and closed her eyes “By the way, did you finish that extra homework you found?”

She remained quiet for awhile and smiled at the red head, her silhouette barley visible in the dark room “Yeah…” she said as she laid back down and scooted closer to Kim.

“That’s good, you can help me finish mine tomorrow after classes are done”

“Hmm… what’s in it for me?”

“You get to spent time with me…”

“That’s it?” she asked jokingly.

“And you can continue spending time with me… and Ron”

“Why is that?” she asked as she slowly crept her arm around Kim’s side.

“He’s staying two weeks at the most… so I‘m gonna try to spent as much time with him”

“I don’t know… I think I might get a project tomorrow, I vaguely remember the professor mentioning something like that today” she said knowing all to well she was lying.

“Is that so?” she asked as she became sleepier by the second from the heat radiating off Shego “Tomorrow is Friday though… you can spare a day without working on it right? You‘re smart…”

“I‘m flattered, so you’re going to be hanging out with him for the next two weeks then?”

“Yeah… you should come with us”

“I might consider it” she said while yawning, already knowing she was going to deny Kim’s request “At least I still get you for the night…” she though as she mumbled a quick goodnight to Kim, which was returned just as quick.

---(Evening of the next day; Kim and Shego’s dorm)---------------------------------------------

“Thanks for helping me with my homework Shego” Kim said as she put her books away.

“No problem Princess” Shego answered from the couch.

“So are you going to go with me and Ron?”

“Sorry Princess, I have a lot of work left to do”

Kim sighed “Alright then… I guess I’ll see you later. You’re… I mean, you… you won’t get mad will you?” she asked she looked at Shego in the eye’s.

She faintly smiled at how sincere Kim looked “No. Why do you ask?”

“Just asking…”she said as she smiled back, when a sudden knocking was heard.

“KP! We’re gonna be late for dinner and the movie!”

“I’m coming!” Kim answered as she looked at the door “I’ll see you later then…” she said as she looked back at the Shego.

“Right”

“Call me if you need anything”

“Will do”

“Bye” Kim said as she closed the door.

Shego sighed “Bye… looks like this’ll be another lonely night” she said as she got up to turn the lights off and laid on her back on the bed “So… dinner  and a movie huh?” she asked herself “Seems kinda romantic to me, even between two best friends. It’s evening, dinner is included, and a movie!” she closed her eyes and put her hands behind her head “Maybe after all the separation they’ve had… they’ll realize that they love each other, even if they are… or were best friends” she said with a touch of sadness.

“It could happen. I’m sure that’s happened to millions of people” her mind betrayed.

“You’re right. But Kimmie wouldn’t do that… would she?”

“There’s always the possibility”

“No… she said they were best friends since kindergarten”

“But, she has never mentioned that they were separated  for long periods of time… or by such far distances”

“Shut up!” she screamed at herself, half expecting for someone to answer her from the darkness. She remained quiet for awhile as her eyes became watery “I need a walk” she said sternly, angry at herself. She quickly got ready and headed out the door.

Three hours later Shego returned to the room, cold and still angry. She quickly changed into her pajamas and went straight to bed. She laid there for an undetermined amount of time, as each minute passed, she seemed to believe more and more that Kim really was falling in love with Ron. She wasn’t sure when or how she went to sleep, but eventually she did.

When Kim finally returned that night, it was close to three. She opened the door as quietly as she could while also waiting for Shego to speak. Through the entire process of getting ready for bed and using the bathroom, Shego didn’t move or speak once “Weird…” Kim thought “By now Shego would’ve woken up” Kim climbed in bed and went under the covers, she immediately noticed Shego had her back to her so she decided to go to sleep on her side with her arm around Shego.

---(Late Morning)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Shego finally woke up the next day, she was alone in the room once again. She found a note on Kim’s pillow explaining that she was hanging out with Ron and then Bonnie and Monique were to join them later, it also said for Shego to call her later “She’s off partying again…” she mumbled “I’ll show her that I can party too, I’ll give Enrique a call!” she picked her phone off the floor and immediately noticed it was out of battery “Dammit…”

After the hassle of looking for the charger she connected the phone to it and turned it on. She sat looking at the small bright screen until the light off, after awhile she began to dial Enrique’s phone number and instantly heard a ringing noise.

“Hello?” came a male voice from the other side of the phone,

“Enrique?”

“Ah! Shego! What’s going on?”

“Not much…”

“You haven’t returned to the restaurant since that night”

“I know, I’ve been busy. Hey, what are you up to later on?”

“Nothing, I get off from work at five”

“What do you say we go have some dinner later, and maybe go partying?”

“Sound like a plan! We can go that fancy nightclub in downtown!”

“That’d be nice… but I’m underage remember?”

“I have connections remember?”

She chuckled “Right… I forgot”

“So then it’s settled right? Oh wait, what about your friends?”

“They… they’re going to be busy doing a class project. It‘ll be just you and me, just like old times”

“Oh… too bad. So do you want me to go pick you up? Or will you come over to my house?”

“I’ll go over there… say about seven-ish?”

“Alright, see you then”

“Okay” she agreed and hung up. She sighed and looked at the floor “I’m so pathetic…”

---

When evening finally came, Shego went to go pick up Enrique. They ended up dining at a small Italian restaurant and saw some old friends and chatted with them for awhile after they finished eating. When it was almost closing time Enrique and Shego decided to head over to the nightclub while their friends would join them later.

“So Maria, Eduardo, John, and Patricia will meet us at the nightclub right?” Shego asked Enrique once they were in the car.

“Yeah, they were just going to stop at Maria and Patricia’s place so they could get different shoes”

“Alright…”

“Shego? Is something the matter?

Her eyes darted quickly to Enrique, then back to the street “No… why do you ask?”

“Well, you seemed rather quiet today. Even after we saw our friends”

“There’s just a lot on my mind… but I’ll feel better after some drinks” she said she smiled.

“Who says I’ll be buying them?” he joked.

“Oh… I promise you will” She said as she held up her right hand and lit up with green plasma, while Enrique only gulped and gave a nervous laugh.

Enrique called his friend from Shego’s cell phone, he was a security guard and let them in from a side door. Once inside, it was impossible to see Shego’s natural skin color, multicolored lights flashed everywhere. The only uncolored light was shining at a medium stage, where a DJ was playing some dance music. There was people everywhere, most of them where on the dance floor dancing the night away. The pair made their way to the back are and sat in a large booth, ten minutes later the rest of their party came in and the males of the group went to go buy drinks.

---(GU parking lot)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Took you two long enough” Ron commented as he was leaning on a yellow Ford Mustang.

“You have a car?” Bonnie asked as she and Monique approached Ron and Kim.

“Eh… it’s a rental. You really can‘t drive a car up Yamanouchi…”

“Well, why didn’t you rent one when we went to the movies?”

“I hadn’t thought about it” he said with a shrug.

Kim gave a small laugh and looked at Monique “So… where’s this ‘cool’ place you had in mind?”

“The hottest nightclub in town! That’s where” she said triumphantly.

“A nightclub?” the red head asked, obviously very confused.

“Yeah… why?”

“Score! A nightclub! I love you more than yesterday Monique!!”

“Sweet! To bad Yori is out with her friends”

“To have fun, why else? C’mon Kim… loosen up”

“Okay… but we’re getting in how? None of us are twenty-one yet…”

“Well, I’m friends with a regular customer at Club Banana. He’s related to the owner…”

“Ah… so in other words, you have connections?” Bonnie chimed in.

“Precisely” Monique said as she looked at Kim, who didn’t look too convinced “Look Kim, lets go and have fun okay? And I promise no drinking for me”

“Stop being such a goody-goody Kimmie! Or you don’t want to go since Shego isn’t coming?” she said in a cooing voice to mock Kim.

Kim looked at Bonnie sternly while Monique sighed “Bonnie, leave Kim alone. C’mon let’s go…” she said and motioned for Kim to follow her to get in the back of the car.

“Thanks” Kim whispered once she was sitting next to Monique.

“Any time” Monique answered with a smile.

“What was that all about?” Ron asked once Kim and Monique were in the car and out of earshot.

“Nothing”

“Well, it seems to be something”

“Has going to Yamanouchi made you wittier?”

“What? That has nothing to do with what just happened”

“It has hasn’t it? I liked the nitwit you were before… this new you is rather annoying” she said as she walked over to the car to get in.

Ron stood there, speechless and dumbfounded. He remained standing in the parking lot for a moment, replaying the conversation that happened between him and Bonnie not even a minute ago “What was that suppose to mean?” he muttered to himself.

“Finally!” Monique said once Ron entered the car.

“Sorry, I dropped a quarter” he lied.

“A quarter? You took all that time?” Bonnie intervened.

“Yeah... so where’s this nightclub and what‘s it called?” He asked as he looked at Monique in the back.

“It’s called ‘Club de la Nuit’ and it’s located in downtown”

---

Just as Enrique and Shego, Kim and friends were let in through a side door. Kin walked in and saw there was many empty tables and booths, most of the people were on the dance floor. She walked a little further and noticed  Shego “Shego!? What is she doing here?” she thought “And with Enrique… and two other guys. She never mentioned anything that she was going out, looks like she’s drunk… judging by how her face looks kinda flushed, even in this lighting, and how she’s laughing so much” she quickly picked out a table and sat on it.

“What are you doing girl?” Monique asked her.

“I uh… like this table. Let’s sit here” she said as she sat in  chair where she could keep Shego within eye view.

“Alright KP! That’s the spirit”

“Shut up Ron, keep that act up and people will know we’re underage” Bonnie hissed.

“I wonder why she didn’t call me” Kim thought as she turned her attention back to Shego “Maybe I should go say hi… no. She seems to be having too much fun”

“Kim!”

“What?”

“Stop staring off into space! Do you want anything to drink?”

“I was not staring into space! And I’ll take a water”

“A water?”

“Just get her a water Bonnie”

“Fine, Ron come help bring the stuff” she said as he walked in the direction of the bar.

“What’s wrong?” Monique asked Kim after Bonnie and Ron were gone.

“Shego is over there” she said as she looked in the direction if the booth Shego was in.

“You’re right” she said once she looked over to the booth “Are you going to go say hi?”

She was silent for awhile and kept looking at Shego “No”

“No? Why not?”

“She seems to be having fun, I don’t want to spoil it for her. Besides, I came here with you guys” she said and looked at Monique and smiled.

Throughout the night Kim struggled to keep an eye on Shego, talking to her friends without them noticing she was, and trying not have herself or her friends seen by Shego or Enrique. When anyone would attempt to get up and Shego or Enrique were up and about, Kim would inevitably began to talk and demanded for her friends to sit back down and listen to her. Only Monique knew why Kim was doing this, she would just smile and watch Kim ramble about random ideas.

Hours into their night Kim noticed both Shego and Enrique were as intoxicated as anyone could get. Shego rested her head on Enrique’s shoulder, while he had his arm around her. She could see Shego giggling and slightly swaying around, then they both locked eyes for a second and they began to move closer “No…” Kim thought as she felt something inside her shattering. Shego briefly brushed lips with Enrique and whispered something in his ear, causing both of them to burst out laughing “They didn’t kiss… they’re too drunk and they can’t control their movements… Shego even said they were like family right?” she quickly thought as she turned away.

“What’s the matter Kimmie?” Bonnie asked.

“N-nothing… my head just hurts. It must be the lights”

Monique gave a quick glance at Shego’s table, she was still resting her head on Enrique “Maybe it’s time we left” she suggested.

“What? I’ve barely had enough to drink! Ron, help me here” Bonnie demanded while slurring.

“Sorry Bonnie, but Monique’s right… and it‘s getting kinda late. Besides I have to go guard the talisman for awhile tomorrow”

“The less you drink, the better for me… I don’t want a drunkie throwing up all over my bed”

“But Monique…” Bonnie whined.

“No buts we’re leaving, its three against one”

“Fine… let me just drink this” she said as she chugged the last remnants of her drink.

Kim gave one last look at Shego and got up from her chair “Let’s go then?” she asked.

“So where to next?” Ron asked once they were all in the car.

“I thought you said you have your guarding job to do” Bonnie asked, angry that she had to leave the club so quickly.

“I do… I was just asking Bonnie”

“There’s nothing else to do. It’s half past three… take us back to our dorms” Monique said.

“Right” he said as he handed Bonnie a plastic bag.

“What’s this for?”

“Incase you need to throw up, I can’t afford you messing this car up”

“What? I am offended, you also had something to drink!”

“Yeah, but no as much as you did”

“Whatever” she said as she snatched the bag from Ron’s hand.

“So you guys…” Ron began after awhile of driving “Are we doing anything tomorrow?”

“Depends how bad my hang-over is” Bonnie said.

“Call me after your done with your job… maybe we can hit Bueno Nacho or  something”

“Good idea KP! Maybe Yori can come too!”

“You mean the so called girlfriend I haven’t seen in the flesh?” Bonnie asked.

“Yes…”

Monique looked over at Kim and noticed she was looking out the window sadly “You okay?” she asked.

“What?” she asked as she looked at her friend.

“She’s not okay… something’s wrong” she thought “Are you okay?”

“Oh… yeah I guess” she answered and went back to looking out the window.

When the group finally got to the dorms Ron offered to walk his friends to their rooms, but they all declined. He walked them to the entrance of their building and bid them goodbye, he quickly left to the warmth of his own car as it began to lightly snow once again.

Monique and Bonnie bid Kim their goodbyes as she walked to her dorm, when she opened her room it was dark and cold “I wonder what time she’s gonna get back…” she muttered as she changed her clothes. She went to the bathroom to take care of her necessities, when she heard a knocking “That must be Shego! She probably forgot her keys” she thought as she rushed to open the door, only it wasn’t who she thought it was.

“Monique?”

“Hey girl, mind if I come in for a few minutes?”

“No, not at all. Where’s Bonnie?”

“Once I opened the dorm she ran to it and fell asleep. Anyways, that’s not what I came to talk about… are you alright? You seemed kinda sad”

“Well… I saw Shego and Enrique… they…”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t even know what I saw! Maybe Bonnie did get me something with alcohol or maybe it was the lighting… I just don’t know… but I think they wanted to kiss” she said as she put her head down.

Monique quickly frowned, ten forced Kim’s head up so she could look at her in the eyes  “No they didn’t-”

“How? How do you know!?”

“Because I saw that… that happened right before Bonnie asked you if you were okay right?”

“Yes”

“Okay then, so it is what I saw. Shego was going to whisper something in his ear, but she swayed”

“But…”

“Kim, trust me on this”

“I can’t… as much as I would like to… I just can’t”

“Then think about this, Enrique is hot right?”

“Well yeah… but you know I’m not interested in him”

“I know, but what I really want to say is…why isn’t Shego dating him?”

“I don’t know ask Shego”

“ From what I’ve seen, Shego and Enrique aren’t interested in each other…think about it” she said as she left Kim’s room.

“Maybe she’s right” Kim told herself as she went to turn all the lights and get into the empty bed.

Through the entire night Kim couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned, but couldn’t get comfortable. She stayed awake all through the early morning hours waiting for Shego to return, except she never did.

---(Enrique’s House)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Uggh… where am I?” Shego asked the air as she held her head and looked around. She sat up and noticed she was sleeping in Enrique’s bed “Enrique?” she asked.

“Yeah?” came a voice from a different room.

“Why am I in your bed?”

“Because you were to drunk to go back to your dorm… well so was I, but you would’ve scared Kim”

“Shit! Kim’s going to kill me! Enrique! Can you take me back to my dorm?” she asked as she staggered out of the bed.

“Yeah… but why the rush? It’s only ten-”

“Dammit! Lets go now! Where are my shoes?”

“They’re by the door”

“Okay!” she said as she went to the door to put her shoes on.

“Ready?” he asked as he stood by the door.

“Yeah… let’s go then”

“So what’s the deal with you and Kim?” he asked he pulled out of his house.

“What do you mean?”

“Well last night you mentioned her name many times… and now you’re in a hurry to leave”

“It’s nothing” she said as she turned away from him.

“Aww… c’mon! It’s something”

“ No it’s not”

“You’re in denial” he said as he dug his elbow in her side.

“I think I might have a crush on her okay!?” she bluntly yelled at him.

“Bingo”

“What? You knew?”

“More or less”

“Then why did you make me tell you?”

“Ah, but you see… I was merely pestering. I never once forced you to tell me”

“Whatever… who told you?”

“No one… I observed” he said as he looked at Shego and pointed at his eye.

“Please keep an eye on the road… and don’t you dare tell anyone, or I will burn off your little Mexican ass”

“Your secrets safe with me… but what about Kim?”

“What about her?”

“Does she like you?”

“Yeah… at least I think she does. Why?”

“No reason…” he said.

“So when you said you observed… what do you mean by that?”

“Well, when you last went to the restaurant I saw that you were happy… I haven’t seen you this happy in awhile…”

“Are you saying I’m naturally unhappy?”

“No… all I’m saying is that Kim is changing you”

“She’s making you softer… in here” he said as he put his finger on her heart while not taking his eyes off the road.

Shego slapped his hand away and he smiled “She is not!”

“Hmm… that’s where you’re wrong my dear friend” he said.

The rest of the entire car ride was silent, but not an awkward one. Once Enrique reached the campus he walked Shego to her dorm “Thanks…” she said as she hugged him outside her room.

“No problem”

“See you later” she said and went inside her room, to find Kim sleeping soundly “Better take a quick shower and get to bed” she thought as she went to the bathroom and closed the door.

Once was done with her shower she quickly towel dried her hair and went to bed. She slightly moved the red head, who groaned in response, so she could put her arm around her. Shego sighed and closed her eyes “I hope you’re not to mad at me Kimmie…” she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
