Wonderwall by Oasis

I had reluctantly followed her inside, only to find that my mom had prepared our room for us. That's right, room not rooms. As in me and Kimmie had to share a room.

"What? You didn't expect to sleep separately I hope?" then she winked. "And don't worry, that bed is big and strong. Just make sure you don't make too much noise!"

Me and Kimmie stood there with our jaws to the floor as she left us. My face was hot and I knew that my eyes were as big as dinner plates. Kimmie looked like she was ready to faint.

The tense atmosphere was so thick and silent I could hear the nervous gulp Kimmie gave as she twisted the door knob and opened the door. I chanted curses in my head, hating my mother and her devilish antics that she thinks is cute and funny. I exhaled heavily, clenching my fists as I followed her into the room.

It was a small cozy room with a queen sized bed with nightstands flanking it. The baby blue sheets matched the curtains that were pulled back, letting the light of the moon shine in. A drawer was pushed up against on wall near the door that led to the bathroom in which Kimmie had quickly disappeared to, locking it behind her. I sighed, walking over to the window and leaning on the ledge.

"Damn this all to hell..." I muttered, scratching my head in frustration.

Why did my life had to be so difficult when I tried to hard to make it easy? I risked everything just for a life that I wanted where I could do everything at my own accord, and yet it still didn't go the way I planned it to. It all came falling apart because of my family. Always intruding in on my life when I just wanted to be left alone. Is that too much to ask? I blew a strand of my hair out of my face. I guess I sound selfish for saying that, but you wouldn't know how I felt unless you were me.

I closed the curtains of the window, knowing how I disliked the way how the sun would intrude my sleep. I walked over to the dresser, noting that Kimmie was taking her sweet time in the bathroom so I decided to change while I had the chance. I had a feeling she was stalling, and I couldn't blame her. After that comment my mom made...Never mind the comment! More like how we almost kissed! I shook the thought away and tried to focus on other things but I couldn't shake the image of her lips just inches from- UGH!

When she finally came out, she was already changed in a shirt and shorts. She didn't make eye contact and headed towards the bed. She was probably still a little shocked, maybe even regretful about what she had almost done. I sighed as I shut the door and began brushing my teeth. When I was done, I stared at myself in the mirror.

Alright Shego. Sleeping in the same room as your arch nemesis whose supposed to be your pretend girlfriend and not to mention whom you almost kissed a minute ago isn't so bad. Yeah, no big deal.

I slapped myself.

What the hell was wrong with me? I glared at my reflection. I'm usually confident and snarky and cool, this isn't like me. I took in a deep breathe and puffed out my chest. Dear God... I looked like Hego.

I left the bathroom after brushing my teeth and saw that Kimmie was standing, staring at the bed before catching my eye.

"Um...are we sharing the same bed?" she asked, her nervousness quite evident in her words.

I shook my head, walking over to the closet and pulling out a blanket. "I'll take the floor."

"No I'll-"

I put my hand up. That shut her up. I began setting up my own little made bed on the floor, and Kimmie gave me one of the pillows to use. Then off to sleep we went. Well at least I tried to...

Being a criminal, you get used to doing the job at night and sleeping during the day. I stared into the dark, my mind forming the shadows into shapes that would scare a little kid. But I wasn't a little kid anymore.

I shut my eyes. However, I certainly felt like one. Why you ask? How could the Shego find herself feeling like a little kid? Well I dunno, maybe it's because of these stupid thoughts that were keeping me up thinking about that freaking almost kiss!

I groaned and buried my face into my pillow. Stupid thoughts...stupid almost kiss...stupid family...stupid...

"Are you alright, Shego?"

Her voice had startled me from my thoughts, and I turned my head to the side so that I could breathe again.

"Hmm? Yeah..."

I heard her shift.

"Can't sleep?" she asked, timidly.

She was trying to hold a conversation. Must be difficult to do so after that little...incident....

"Yeah."

Gee, you're really crafty at words! I scolded myself in a failed attempt to keep up the conversation. I didn't know shut I was doing it, much less why Kimmie was either, but I guess we felt the need to do something. Anything to ease the awkward atmosphere between us.

"Me neither," she replied.

I scoffed. "Figured as much."

She gave a little laugh and I suddenly found myself smiling. For such a short and pointless talk, I suppose it was worth it. I closed my eyes, hopping that I would fall asleep, and just before I did her voice broke the silence once again.

"Goodnight Shego."

"'Night Princess."

"RISE AND SHINE SLEEPY HEAD!" Andrew said, banging loudly on my door.

I groaned and shoved the pillow over my head. "Leave me alone!" I ordered.

"COME ON HOTHEAD OR I'LL BANG YOUR-"

I got to my feet as quick as lightning and swung the door open. I knew that I probably looked a mess, but I was sexy no matter what.

"You'll bang my what?" I glared.

Andrew nervously laughed and slowly backed away. "Um...Breakfast is ready!" he ran down the stairs just as I threw a plasma ball at him.

The nerve of that man! No, boy! He acted so immature for is age and I wondered when he was ever going to grow up. I ran a hand through my bed head and headed over to the bathroom for a shower. But when I opened the door, I was greeted by something unpleasant...or pleasant?

"AHH! SHEGO, SHUT THE DOOR!"

I stood frozen at the spot with a....very wet...NOT IN THAT WAY! Kim Possible in front of me. She had just stepped out of the shower and was trying her best to cover her naked body with her towel. Her red mane was soaking wet and dripping, and the heat of the bathroom hung heavy with the smell of apples.

"GET OUT!" she yelled, throwing the bar of soap just as I slammed the door.

My back pressed against the door, my eyes wide with shock, and my heart thumping. I blinked once. I blinked twice and uttered a single word that I could only find:

"Wow..."

"You pervert!"

I was taken aback. "Pervert? Excuse me, but a certain wet redhead didn't lock the door! You practically invited me in!"

"Shut up! I forgot okay? You should have heard me inside anyways!"

I scoffed. "How can anyone forget to lock the door when they're showering and sharing a room with someone else?" A mischievous comment popped into my mind. "If you wanted me to join you in the shower you just had to ask. But...I do like surprises."

She threw something at the door, and I didn't have to look to know if she was blushing bright. Probably as bright as her...

"SHUT UP!"

"You don't have to be shy about that bubble butt of yours," I said, knowing this was the perfect opportunity to tease the living hell out of her. "I find it very cute. Mind if I take another..." I turned the doorknob and pretended to open it just as something else hit the door.

"I swear Shego...if you open that door..."

"Ooh, kitty's got claws!" I said, and stuck my hand through the crack of the door, pretending to be a cat clawing at something. "Meow!"

"SHEGO!"

After all the teasing and getting ready for the day, I came downstairs where everyone was already eating. I sat next to a blushing Kimmie who was stabbing her bacon. I couldn't help but grin. We all ate and chatted, my dad hardly spoke. Whenever we caught each other's eyes, I swore I felt as if he had the ability to melt me on the spot without even touching me. But when I brushed arms with Kimmie who let out a small squeaked, that feeling was gone and my smirk was back.

When we finished our breakfast, we all got into the van and left for the park where the family reunion would take place. Gale and Andrew drove in Gale's car while the rest of us rode in my mom's van. Much to my dismay, my mom had decided to play some music. I don't know why my dad didn't bother turning it down because I knew that he didn't approve of music being blasted. I guess it was because she was his wife. My mom really loved the Bee Gees and well...you can guess what was playing.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!"

The worst part was that the windows were down and people could hear her sing. I sunk low in my seat while my mom sang along. I guess I should be lucky that my mom didn't sound like a dying cat, that would be even worse. Hego on the other hand...I don't even know how to describe his singing voice. It sounded like claws scratching against a chalk board, and when he tried to hit the high notes, he sounded like Mego when I had kicked him in his...special place. Kimmie, who was sitting next to me, laughed and moved along with the beat. I stared at her in disbelief.

"You're really enjoying this?" I questioned.

"Yeah! Why not? It's a good song!"

I only raised my eyebrows at her and looked away. I was surrounded by weirdos. We finally made it to the park and came around to part of it that was had a huge sign that practically shouted: "Go Family Reunion! Let's Go!" Talk about bad puns... We all got out of the car, and headed towards my family. Kimmie looked stunned.

"This..." she said, "is your family?!"

I casually put my hands in my pockets. "Yup."

We walked over to my family, almost trampling over my cousins' kids who were running about. They ignored us, wanting to keep playing, but one child had stopped at the sight of me. Her big brown eyes sparkled with happiness and I couldn't help but smile.

"Ga-Ga!"

She leaped into my arms, and I was glad that she couldn't say my name properly or Kimmie would have known my real name...even though it sounded like she was calling me Lady Gaga.

I hoisted her onto my hip and she grinned widely at me with her front teeth missing. "Hey Jaz," I said. "You've gotten big!"

To be honest I was never really good at kids, nor did I really like them. My family was an exception. I saw Kimmie looking us with pure adoration. She also looked like she was about to faint at Jaz's cuteness.

Jaz looked over at Kim and gaped with her eyes sparkling. "You da hero girl!"

Kimmie smiled. "I am."

"You fwends whiff Poshibal?" Jaz asked me.

I laughed at her pronunciation of Kimmie's last name. She had a little trouble speaking since her front teeth were missing. Kim laughed too, apparently she found Jasmine cute. I winked at Jaz.

"She's my girlfriend."

"What's a girlfwend?"

Kimmie was blushing and gave me a questioning look that asked: Are you sure it's alright to tell a child?

"A girlfriend is someone who is very special to me that I love very much."

She pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows. "Am I your girlfwend too?"

Kimmie and I laughed at her innocence. Then I saw her mom, my cousin Lara, approaching. Jaz was the spitting image of her mother, except for her brown eyes which were taken from her father.

"Ma! Look who came!" Jaz exclaimed.

Lara smiled and I handed Jasmine over. "I see! Did you give her a kiss?"

Jaz planted a big kiss on my cheek. "Can I go play now?"

Lara nodded and placed her daughter on the ground, and watched the little girl run off towards her cousins. Lara then looked at me and Kimmie. A smile with mixed feelings was on her lips, and I knew she was mostly confused. Probably confused at why I chose to come back after so many years, or confused at who Kimmie was. But I'm pretty sure it was the first one since everyone knew Kimmie.

"It's good to see you," she said, and smiled at Kimmie. "And you too Kim Possible. My daughter is a big fan. Why don't you two go ahead and eat?"

We headed over to the where my family was gathered. My aunts and uncles were sitting in chairs, chatting and eating while the younger generation was playing football or playing cards on a blanket.

"So," Lara started. "How'd you two...you know..."

"Um well. Our hobbies let us run into each other a lot," Kimmie answered smiling nervously.

"Literally..." I muttered under a cough and Kimmie elbowed me.

Lara nodded, but I knew she still wondered how it was possible with our 'hobbies.'

"Heeeeyyyy guuurrl!" someone exclaimed, stumbling over to us.

I almost face palmed as my cousin slung her arm across my shoulder and grinned goofily at me. "Long time no se- HIC!"

"J! It's too early to be drinking!"

"Pssh! It's NEVAAA too early for me!" she said, waving her bottle. She squinted at Kimmie. "Ohhh! Is this pretty lady your guuurrlfriend?"

Kimmie blushed and rubbed her necked nervously.

J ruffled my hair and I growled. "My baby cousin is growing up!" and then, much to my embarrassment, she began waving her arms and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"EVVVERRYBODYYY! HEY! LISTEN TO ME YA'LL AND LOOK WHO GOT HERSELF A SEXY LADY!"

Now I face palmed. Some of my family members laughed while others shook their heads at J. God, my family was retarded...

"Come on J," Lara said, taking her arm. "Let's go sit you down."

"Naw, I wanna hang with-"

Lara dragged her away as I was doing breathing exercises with my eyes closed. I just wanted to disappear and wake up in my room to find that this was all a dream. A nightmare to be exact. I heard a snicker beside me and I opened my eyes, glaring at Kimmie.

"I'm sorry," she said, trying to contain her laugh. I glared harder. "But that was...just so..."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up Princess!"

And she did.

I began walking away from her, letting her laugh it all out. Just another person to embarrass me. She caught up to me and grabbed my arm.

"I'm sorry," she said.

I turned around and crossed my arms. I was still made at her and no amount of apologies could change that.

"Whatever."

Then she began pouting at me. My eye twitched as I tried to hold our gaze, but then her bottom lip began to tremble and she made a whimpering noise like a hurt puppy.

"Damn it! Stop that!"

"Will you forgive me?"

I saw a couple of my aunts and uncles watching, probably wondering what I was going to say and I felt heat rush into my face.

"N...damn you..."

In a split second she went from a pouting puppy to a grinning weirdo who glomped me.

"Ugh! Kimmie!"

"I'll take that as a yes!"

This had to be the most embarrassing day of my life! Apparently she couldn't get enough of embarrassing me. I suppose this was revenge for this morning. Huh, I'm rubbing off of her.

Some of my family members were a bit hostile and suspicious of my being at the reunion. I couldn't blame them. I hadn't shown up for years and they knew of my...hobby. Well, forget them. Let them think what they want because I won't give a damn!

"My honeycakes!"

I choked. Keep walking. Keep walking. Keep walk-

"Sugarplum!"

Oh Lord, I know I haven't prayed in a long time but please, please don't let that be...

A man around the same age as my mother popped up in front of me and Kimmie. He grinned like a silly kid, looking quite weird with his big belly that threatened to pop his striped shirt as he hooked thumbs on his suspenders.

"Hi Big D," I said, and tried backing away, but he pulled onto my arm and into a bear hug.

"Sweet-cheeks! It's so nice to see you!"

When will the nicknames ever stop?!

"It's nice to see you to, Big D," I lied.

"Oh sweet Mary Mother of God! Is this the young lady J was raving about?"

Kimmie strained a smile. "Hello," she said, attempting to just wave, but was pulled into a deathly hug before being put back on the ground.

He then patted me hard on the shoulder and I swear that I sank into the ground and dislocated my shoulder. "My niece always had good tastes!"

"Yeeaah," I said through gritted teeth.

Being the goody two shoes she was, Kimmie attempted to make a conversation. Which, by the way, was a bad idea when you're talking to my family. Did I mention that my family was completely, insanely retarded? Except me of course.

"Why do they call you Big D?"

Hey Lord, are you still willing to listen to my prayers?

"Can't you tell? It stands for Big..."

He grinned broadly and turned sideways.

"DANEIL!"

He busted out laughing, and I face palmed. He always told that to anyone who asked. I saw that Kimmie had the wrong idea because she was blushing.

"Uh, we're gonna eat now," I said and Kimmie followed obediently.

What a great family! A perverted cousin, a drunk, and an uncle who likes being called Big D. What's next you ask? Trust me, you don't want to find out. Unless you're loving this, and if you are, screw you.

Anyways, we got our food and chatted a bit with any of my relatives who wanted to talk to a criminal and her hero girlfriend. The reunion wasn't entirely awkward. Some of them were happy to see me and held a comfortable and lasting conversation; but that didn't mean it was interesting. But then there was weird/confusing moment when I went to get us drinks while Kimmie was hold a conversation with one of my aunts.

It wasn't particularly my aunt that had confused me, it was Kimmie. When I looked up from filling my cup, I saw that Kimmie was watching me. It wasn't the fact that she was watch me that weirded me out, it was the look. Her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes seemed to contained...hurt? But we only made eye contact for a second, and after that second was over, she turned back around to my aunt.

I immediately headed over - but not too fast to attract attention - wondering and worrying of what they were talking about. It had to be about me, why else would she have looked over to me?

"Here you go," I said, handing Kimmie her drink and kissing her on the cheek to show that our relationship seemed real to my family.

She blushed and muttered her thanks, staring at her drink but not actually drinking it. My aunt smiled at me, but there was something off about her smile. I gave her a questioning look but she didn't give me an answer.

Later, all of my cousins, brothers, Kimmie and I were gathered on a big blanket, playing slapjack. I tried to convince them to play poker with me, but they didn't trust me. I'm a thief, doy. We alternated since I had a lot of cousins, getting to kick out the losers and playing agains the winners. I, of course, was one of those winners.

SLAP!

"OW! Goddamn, hothead!" Andrew hissed when I slapped my hand above his that hit the jack. "Can't you play any friendlier?"

I shrugged innocently, removing my hand as did everyone else while Andrew nursed his stinging one.

"Come on Andy, this is our Ga-" Lara stopped, "gal we talking about. She doesn't play friendly."

Inside I let out a breath. Good thing that the first two letters of my name started with a G and A. I looked at Kimmie and saw that she didn't catch on. Thank goodness... I suppose word that I didn't tell her my real name got around somehow. Which was a good thing for me because I still had my reputation and I couldn't afford to let Kimmie know my real name.

"Hey Shego," Andrew said with a mischievous grin. That can't be good. "Why don't you tell us how you met your girlfriend?"

My heart was in my mouth as everyone nodded and agreed, waiting for me to start the story. Damn Andrew!

"I'd rather not."

My cousins awed, encouraging me to tell them. What could I tell them? Nothing but lies of course. I looked at Kimmie for help, but she was too busy avoiding eye contact as she curled her hair on her finger that matched her red face.

"Come on!" J said. "Tell us!"

I hesitated. I drew a breath. Then I cleared my throat.

"Well... I guess it all started when I...When I was fed up with just fighting with Kimmie. I wanted something more, and so... I snuck into her room one night and-"

"And she woke me up," Kimmie cut in.

I was going to say that I left a note for her when she woke up, but with the blush on her cheeks, Kimmie thought I was going to say something dirty. I almost laughed. Everyone's attention shifted to her.

"She woke me up, and I saw...I saw that even though the lights were out, she had just the slightest hint of a blush on her cheeks. She was shy and nervous."

My family awed and poked me, teasing me. Kimmie looked like she was gradually enjoying this, and I gave her a split second glare before anyone could detect it.

"I knew that this wasn't the Shego I knew and I questioned her. She was stuttering at first and couldn't get out straight sentences. Then she took a deep breath and she pulled out-"

"An iPod," I said, and Kimmie looked at me, as did everyone else. They looked just as confused as her, but I continued on. "I gave her the iPod and told her to listen to every one of those songs on there because I knew that what I wanted to tell her, I couldn't tell her in my own words without having them jumbled up."

"At first she didn't want to take it, and threatened to arrest me. Then..." I took in a breath to keep up the intensity in the story. "She did the biggest thing I know I'll never forget."

"I fought her until she left," Kimmie said, and they gasped. "I know...but I thought that it was a trap at that time, we were enemies of course. But that wasn't the last time I saw Shego. She never gave up on trying to get me. She kept on coming up with things. From breaking into my house to see me to other desperate attempts like trying to kidnap me."

"But then she did the most incredible thing out of all of her attempts. There was a false mission that I was sent on alone at Paris. And there she was, at the top of the Eiffle tower, pulling out-"

"A remote control," they all looked at me with confusion. Including Kimmie. I wanted with all my strength to say: You weren't expecting that, were you Princess?

"I pressed the button on the remote and it was a trap for her. I was so mad that she wouldn't listen to me. I wanted to prove to her that I wanted her. Right there on the very top of the Eiffle tower, I confessed everything to her. I wanted her to know what I truly felt and..." I said, holding my gaze on Kim. I felt my face heat up with embarrassment and swallowed hard. "And she accepted me and then we kissed. The end! Who wants to play some football?"

They all seemed to buy it. Kim didn't look like she could anything to add or change, and I grew confident now that I was in control of the story.

J, who was still drunk, stood and clapped her hands. "I think this is a perfect moment to show us how much you truly love each other!"

I broke our eye contact and stared confusingly at her.

"Show us how you gave the girl a smooch on the lips!"

I stared at J in disbelief. Did I hear her right? She wanted us to...kiss? In front of my whole family? Um...what? Andrew let out a wolf whistle while my other cousins teased me and thumped my back.

"Don't be shy!" J said, bringing me to my feet before doing the same to Kimmie. "Come on, show us how you smothered her! I'm pretty sure that you two had A LOT of practice!"

"Uh..." was all I could say.

Lara began cheering us on. "Come on! Kiss her!"

"Kiss her! Kiss her!" they all chanted, calling the attention of my uncles and aunts.

"Fine," I said, and grabbed Kimmie's hand.

She looked at me with pure shock and surprise. I knew I couldn't do this to her. The night we almost kissed came back to me. Her bright eyes that were inches from mines last night, the way she faintly smelled of apples and her baby hair...I swallowed hard and leaned down to her face, inching closer and closer as her eyes got wider and wider. Then I kissed her... On the cheek.

"There," I said, to my family. I could still feel the heat of her skin on my lips.

"Aw come on! What was that? Kiss her like you mean it! A REAL kiss on the lips!" Andrew said.

Kimmie tightened our hands. I gave her another look and she just look at me, unsure and nervous.

"Come on!" J said, and positioned ourselves so that we faced each other. "Now kiss her!"

Everyone stopped chanting as we stared at each other. My heart pounded fast and hard in my chest, harder than I ever felt it before. It didn't help that she was biting her bottom lip or that licked them afterward. She stared at me with those green eyes of hers, and right then I wondered, I wondered what she was thinking at that moment, what she was feeling as I inched closer to her face. Her gentle breath clashing against my parted lips, teasing me, encouraging me to kiss them, to claim them.

And I did.

The cheers fell silent to my ears as I felt an electrifying feeling shoot up and down my spine. My heart thumped so loud I could feel it in my ears. My stomach lurched with butterflies and my mind grew blank with nothing but the thought of those soft, pink lips of Kim Possible.

It wasn't a hasty or heated kiss, but a shy and gentle one. It was like we just wanted to explore our confusing feelings...or maybe just explore each other's lips. Would this one kiss change everything? Would it change the fact that we were enemies?

It felt like an eternity until we broke apart and slowly opened our eyes. Everything came rushing back to me. The cheers, the summer air, and our closeness. It took me a while to register what I had done.

I had kissed Kim Possible.
