The door slammed open without warning, and Shego sat up in bed at once, both hands pulsing with green energy.

Kim Possible stared back at her, looking like an absolute mess.

Shego blinked slowly, and eventually lowered one hand. "What happened to you?" Then she caught the scent. "And what is that SMELL!"

Kim's left eye twitched. "Shower," she said simply.

Shego pointed to the left, and watched as Kim stomped into her private bathroom and slammed the door shut. Hesitantly, she got out of bed, pulled on her robe, and knocked on the door.

"Uh...stupid question, but...why are you here?"

There was a long pause before Kim answered, and Shego could hear clothes rustling as she spoke.

"Have you ever wanted to punch Drakken in the nose, for no other reason than that he's a guy?"

She couldn't help the smirk that came to her face. "Naturally."

"So if he did something so colossally stupid, so amazingly inconsiderate, so incredibly STUPID that it made your life a living nightmare, you'd feel justified to pretty much declare war on his entire gender?"

Shego nodded sagely. "Boys suck, girls rule."

"And, being therefore justified in your wrath, you would fully expect any red-blooded woman to aid you in your cause, yes?"

Shego could see that she'd walked right into that one. "You're going to use up all my hot water, aren't you?"

"Shego, I am covered in mud and monkey poop, and I can barely tell the difference anymore. I have had an EXTREMELY bad day."

For some reason, Shego couldn't find it within herself to deny Kim the right to use all the hot water she wanted. Anyway, she didn't want to have to deal with that smell any longer than she had to.

"You just make sure you clean up after yourself. I find ONE trace of brown, and you can consider this temporary truce null and void."

"Okay," Kim replied agreeably enough. "And Shego?"

"Yeah, Kimmie?"

"...thanks," she said quietly.

Shego stared at the door for a long moment before shaking her head and walking away. She just wondered how Drakken would react when she told him...

"This is completely unacceptable, Shego!" Dr. Drakken shouted.
Shego did her best not to laugh...and failed. Kim had clearly not been kidding when she spoke of declaring war on any and all males in her path. She'd left Shego's employer with not one, but two black eyes. Although, considering the almost permanent dark circles that surrounded his eyes anyway, Shego could barely notice the difference.

But Drakken had made sure that she DID notice. Wouldn't shut up about it, really. Never did when he was really upset. He was consistent that way.

"How DARE she!" Drakken went on. "Here I was, minding my own business, when that...that teenage ruffian barges in, hits me in the face, and keeps on walking like she owns the place! It's unheard of, Shego, and I won't stand for it!"

"Did you just call Kim Possible a ruffian?" Shego asked. "You really are mad, aren't you?"

"FOCUS, Shego! She assaulted me! I want...I want her arrested!"
