Three days later.
Kim was all dressed up, but should she go?
Shego would be here any minute to pick her up.
It was a few minutes later when she heard her mother yelling for her.
She went downstairs to see Shego in a cute black dress and flats. "Come over here." She said and sat on the stairs.
Shego sat beside her. "This feels so weird. At the same time for me it feels right. What about you?"
Just being near her felt right. Like it always had been since the beginning. She knew that Ron would have a fit.
Shego leaned in to say, "I hope this is the start of something amazing."
Kim felt so nervous with her so close. The sound of her voice was weirdly comforting.
An intrusive banging on the front door made everyone jumpy.
Ann looked through the peephole on the front door. Ron stood there looking pissed off. "Kim, Ron's here. Should I let him in?"
Kim sighed and went to open the door. "Hi, Ron."
Ron was on a mission. His voice was so loud, "I want to talk to the green monster right now!" He saw how nice she looked and was so jealous.
"Can all of you please take this outside?" Ann said as Shego came over.
Shego nodded as the triangle went outside and Ann happily went to make her some coffee.
"Why are you here?" Kim asked, very annoyed.
Ron had been spying on Kim's house, waiting to see if Shego would show up. He wanted to say a few things to her. He knew that whatever he had to say he'd have to say it all now.
"How old are you?" He barked.
Shego took a big step back. "Gah, you don't have to scream at me. Late twenties and that's all I'm saying."
"See she's practically THIRTY, KIM!"
"Ron! The yelling needs to stop." She angrily said. "And I don't care about her age."
Ron pointed a finger at Shego, "If you hurt Kim, I'm gonna hurt you! Do you understand me? No one hurts my best friend and gets away with it!"
Wow, such passion, Kim thought, that's new.
"Yes. I understand. Can you let us go on our date now?" Shego said, trying to hold back really bad words.
Ron wanted to lock Kim in her bedroom like a parent. Tears were in his eyes now.
Kim pulled him to the side. "Hey, it's gonna be okay. I can take care of myself. I know you love me, Ron. I know this is like a twisting knife in your skin and I'm sorry. I need to do this for me."
Ron hugged her tightly. And she hugged him back. Pulling apart, they locked eyes. They had a great understanding of each other. He nodded sadly and walked away.
When Ron was out of hearing range Shego said, "If you wanna call this off I get it."
Kim looked at her, clearly upset and feeling broken. "Can we just sit in your car and talk?"
Shego nodded and went to open the passenger side door. She shut it after Kim was inside. After settling into the drivers side she was quiet. This was not how she wanted this night to be. "I can drive us somewhere. Get some burgers and shakes and hang out."
