Rating: PG-13 for combat violence and intimations of a physical relationship and intimate contact between consenting adult females. This should also cover a little harsh language now and then. If this will offend you, please read something else and then seek some professional help.
Summary: This is a Kim/Shego pairing fan fiction and is set in my ‘Who’s Writing This Crap?’ storyline. It is a sequel to ‘A Cookie For Ecclesiastes’ and you really, REALLY need to read that story first. Kasy Ann and Sheki Go Possible are the creations of NoDrogs. The KP version of The Supreme One as well as the ruined Shego is my idea. WARNING: Some parts are a little dark.

Crumbs / Two

The film eventually ended and the girls had to rouse their Momma before they could rise from the couch; Shego had let herself fall asleep before the end of the film because, no matter how many times she watched it, the good guys still died uselessly. She slobbered drowsy kisses all over the disgusted faces of her children and then promptly lost consciousness once more. Kim chased the girls upstairs to bed; able to move by means of nervous energy alone, the three raced to the top of the stairs, their mother winning by a nose.

“Mommy, are you Ok?” Kim had paused to catch her breath, feeling just a tiny bit winded.

“Doy! I’m not as young as I used to be, ya’ know!”

Kim grinned and watched her daughters stagger around the room, dressing for sleep on autopilot; they grew more sluggish with each second and were sure to collapse before they found their beds. Taking a seat at their dressing table, Kim brushed Sheki’s long black hair while Kasy pawed in her closet for some suitable clothes to wear in the morning. “You two have been up a little later than usual tonight. Why don’t you take advantage of the weekend and sleep in just a little?” She knew that this was not likely to occur. “What were your plans?” Sheki, at her side, spoke first.

“Well… we thought that we’d hit the school and see if the cheerleaders are accepting try-outs. They’re practicing tomorrow, and, well…” Kim was more than a little surprised; she’d never suspected this.

“You want to be cheerleaders?”

“Yeah, we’ve been thinking about it.”

“Really? It’s certainly news to me.”

“Please, Mommy, please?”

“Oh, darlings, I don’t know…”

“Can we?”

“Please, please, please…!”

“Ok, everybody calm down.” Kim waved them off. “I know that your Momma isn’t going to like the idea of you two prancing around in those uniforms they wear, and I’m not so sure that I like the idea either.” The disappointment was obvious in their tired eyes and knew that she would be three times the hypocrite if she didn’t at least consider their request. “But I’d be calling the kettle black. I was a cheerleader when I was in school and I’m certain that this is why your Grandpa is prematurely gray! Tell you what… it’s Ok with me if you try out for junior varsity and no matter how much she yells, I’ll talk your Momma into accepting it.”

“YAY!”

“Now you two babies need to hurry up and get in bed so that I can go back downstairs and drag another big baby up to bed… and she drools.” Kim led Sheki, the young girl’s eyes already drooping, into her narrow bed and kissed the teen lovingly on the cheek. She noticed her other daughter working at the closet. “You, too, Kasy. Scoot!”

“Yes, Ma’am. I just wanted to set some things out for the morning… but I don’t know what the weather’s going to be like.” The little redhead turned idly away to better inspect the clothing against the light of the bedside lamp, which also gave her a chance to take a look through the room’s largest window. “Do you think it might be chilly in the morning, or… AAHH, GEEZ!”

Clothes dropping in a heap, Kasy backpedaled from the window, tripping against her own bed and rolling down the side of it to lie on the carpeted floor. Shocked but already in motion, Kim was kneeling beside the frightened girl and Sheki pulled herself up from her bed to scan the room for whatever had made her sister cry out.

“Kasy Ann!” The girl was shivering in Kim’s arms, her pale green hands covering her eyes. “Whatever is the matter?”

“… out on the sidewalk…” Her voice was breathless and her greenish complexion seemed to be even paler than normal.

“What? What’s out there?” The redhead motioned to her other daughter, directing her towards the curtained glass. “Sheki, is there anyone out there?”

“Um…” Loath to see or to be seen, Sheki edged towards the window. There was no one in immediate view so, with growing confidence, she moved right up to the window and opened it, leaning far out to get a better look up and down the street. “Nothing out here, Mom.” She turned back to her sibling in anxious confusion. “Sorry, Kas, there’s no one…”

“BUT I SAW IT!” Tears soaked into the rumpled fabric of Kim’s shirt as Kasy clutched it tightly in her hands. The older redhead’s shock was fading, slowly being replaced with a suspicion that she knew what had really happened.

“Sweetheart, what do you think you saw?”

“It… it was white and thin and was just… just standing there in the yard!” Painfully aware of how she musted have looked right then, she dragged her sleeve across her face to dry her tears.

Kim stayed down on the floor with the distraught girl while Kasy’s twin walked off towards their bathroom; their mother felt a grateful pride as she heard the water being run and Sheki soon returned with a glass of water for her twin. With a questioning look and a nod in reply, they traded placed, Sheki holding her sister with concern in her eyes and helping Kasy to take a sip of the cool water as Kim stood and moved close to the open window.

There were trees with their branches moving easily in the night air and the resulting susurrus, the yellowed light from the streetlamp and the competition between light and darkness, but there was otherwise nothing; the front yard and the street beyond looked peaceful. The only living things in sight were the bugs orbiting the streetlamp. Kim closed the window and turned.

“Kasy, I swear to you that I don’t see a thing, but…” Kim was already raising her hands to ward off the young girls protestations. “If you say that you saw something out there then I believe you.” Kim held her daughter’s face in her hands. “What would you like me to do?”

“I, uh… I don’t know.” Kasy was calming down faster now, feeling foolish and unsure of the sitch. Her pale green face was swollen from crying and the bruised coloration, the distinctive blush of the plasma-enhanced members of the family, was in evidence.

“How about I take the Kimmunicator out in the yard tomorrow morning and scan the place where you saw the… whatever it was?” Kim was serious; she would never patronize her children when one of them was as frightened as Kasy had been. “Would that be Ok?”

The girl nodded, her eyes downcast. Together the women collected the strewn clothing in silence, Kim giving her child more time to think and rationalize. The older Possible was folding a pair of slacks and watching in silence as both Kasy and Sheki kept stealing glances out through the window and whispering together. Kasy turned and found her mother.

“Mommy?”

“Yes, baby?”

“M… Mom, I might not have seen anything.”

“Kasy Ann Possible, if you say that you saw something out there, then I really do believe you.” Kim was proud that the girl could think logically but wasn’t going to brush off such obvious terror. “The last thing that I want you to tell me is whatever it is that you think I want to hear!”

“Sorry…”

“’Sorry’, my keister! No one is going to get away with scaring the daughter of Kim Possible!” This got a grin out of Kasy and the little redhead accepted a nightshirt from her sister. Kim let them finish changing for bed and made ready to tuck them in for the night, now well into early morning. Choosing Kasy’s bed so that she might further assuage the fears of the frightened girl, Kim sat down for a final word.

“Sweetheart, please excuse this old fart if she blames the movie for what you think you saw outside, but I will scan for anything that might explain it, Ok? If there was anything out there, we’ll know.” The girl looked up at Kim with love and confidence.

“Thanks, Mom.”

“You are so welcome, baby.” She gave the young girl a smooch. “Now, goodnight and pleasant dreams.” Kim moved across to Sheki’s bed and kissed her as well.

‘Night, Mom.”

“G’night, Mommy.”

“Goodnight, bubble butts!” Kim blew them a kiss as she left the room, switching out the light as she did so. The room was still and silent for a few seconds after she left.

“Sis?” Sheki raised the edge of the sheets covering her bed.

“Please and thank you!” Kasy dove across the gap and climbed in with her sister, snuggling against her twin as even more assurance that all was well.

“You really saw something out there, huh?”

“I did, I swear!”

“Chill, I believe you and so did Mommy, so relax.” Sheki glanced up at the shadows of the leaves against the windowpane. “ So, did it look like a zombie?”

“Don’t be a turd!” Kasy held her sister tighter. “It looked more like a ghost.”

To Be Continued…

Author’s Notes: I’m keeping the chapters shorter than usual, but hopefully delivering just as good a story.

I'm very glad that you cannot keep a promise. The comment to "Cookie" said quite clearly that you would write NO sequels and do NOT intend to EVER write anything else featuring the children of Kim and Shego as older characters...

Happy you changed your mind.

Like KS4U I very much like the relaxed atmosphere between the family members. Just a bit nervous about what kind of darkness that will creep in.

I did say that there would be no sequel, didn't I? That seemed to be my way (way back then) of breaking free of ideas that I could take only SO FAR... but had further ideas to carry the plot beyond a certain point. In my defense I have gotten better (please, Lord!) and my imagination has gotten stronger, or at least I'm more capable of expressing myself. I certainly have written a crapload of Kasy - Sheki stories since then, at various ages. I'm glad that I couldn't keep that promise either!

As for the relaxed family atmosphere... I love reading it as much as writing it. The darkness of this tale should offset that nicely!

Don't worry, Chapter Three is up now!
