The things that we Deny

"Are you Sure this plan of yours is going to work Dr. D?" Shego paced the isle of  the empty Private passenger jet. She was finding it difficult to pull on a Tuxedo jacket and pair of matching pants while Draken was flying the plane.

"It's simply really," Draken nodded his head in confirmation. His  eyes looking straight ahead seeing as how He was intent on keeping them in their sockets. Although for the sake of clarity he began to go over the plan once more so that Shego knew exactly  what to do, "All you have to do is distract Possible and her bumbling buffoon of a sidekick while I sneak in and steal the plans for the generators."

Shego rolled her eyes as she put the final touches on her disguise , "and how exactly do you expect me to distract Possible?" Shego wasn't completely sure Draken thought this part of the plan through. She was still visibly feminine, and pale skinned to boot. "do you really expect me to be able woo my arch nemesis' without wanting to put her through a few walls," she stated flatly.

"You could always try and distract the buffoon...," Draken's Suggestion sent a cold chill up Shego's spine. Draken landed the plane in an old abandoned Airport rather badly.

The landing nearly made Shego fall backwards but she held her balance by grabbing on to Draken's chair. "Fine," Shego heaved a defeated sigh, "but just for the record I still think this is a waste of time." Shego tucked her long Raven black hair in to the back of her tuxedo jacket to make her hair appear shorter than it actually was.

"Dually noted." was Draken's only response as he opened the plane doors for Shego to exit out of.

Elsewhere preparations were nearing completion for the big celebration and a certain redhead was becoming very nervous about the whole ordeal. "Come on K.P you seriously need to chill," Ron, Kim's blonde haired friend and sidekick, tried to ease Kim's mind by offering her a Naco he had snuck in to the building, "relax and enjoy some real food K.P."

"Ron...a Naco does not nor will it ever count as real food," she said.  Kim politely pushed Ron's hand away allowing Rufus, Ron's pet naked mole rat, a chance to sneak out of his pocket and swipe the delicious half taco half nacho snack. "Hey Rufus  totally not cool!"

"To slow~," Rufus squeaked out as he began to chow down. Kim chuckled at her friends antics and for a moment she wasn't as tense as before.

"What's the worst that could happen," Kim thought to herself as the clock struck 9 and guest after guest began to pour in to the building. Kim patted down her pink dress and took a deep breath before slowly exhaling and putting on her party mask.

"I'm in, now to find Princess," Shego thought to herself as she managed to sneak in unhindered Among the guests that were pouring in.  Her face was completely covered by a black party mask in the shape of a fox. With her face hidden well enough and her hair tucked away no one was the wiser that she was Shego much less a woman.

Soft music began to play as most couples began to dance; seeing as this was a party after all. "So far everything is going all right," said Kim. She began to wade through the crowded ball room dance floor. She kept her face hidden behind a white rabbit mask while occasionally glancing from side to side as if looking for someone in particular. In truth she was making sure no super-villains crashed the party.

Shego noted what Kim was doing and avoided detection up until the moment she was able to stand right behind her. Only her shimmering green eyes and strands of raven black hair seemed to show through the black mask she was wearing  over her face. "May I have this Dance?" Shego masked her voice just enough so that she didn't sound too feminine or overly masculine.

Kim turned around to look up at the strange but somehow familiar person offering their hand for the dance, "I'm sorry but do I know you?"

"Oh you have no idea pumpkin~," Shego thought to herself. Luckily her mask was hiding her devilish smirk. "I am just a simple admirer," Shego lied but to Kim it sound somewhat honest enough to believe.

"I'm sorry but I should really get back to my friend..." Kim said as she tried to walk away but Shego being somewhat quicker in men's clothing glided in front of her.

"Don't worry I don't bite~," Shego said from behind her mask. She still had her hand outstretched in offer of a dance.

"I suppose a friendly dance wouldn't hurt," Kim was unsure about the stranger standing before her but being as nice as she is,  Kim gave in to the offer and without truly realizing it took Shego's hand for a dance.

"Why is K.P dancing with that complete stranger?!" Ron was agitated to say the least as he watched Kim dancing with, to his knowledge, a complete and total stranger.

"Uh~hu stranger!" Rufus chimed in nodding his head in agreement with Ron.

"Come on Dr. D!" Shego thought to herself in utter frustration. She was beginning to find it hard to concentrate on just distracting and not fighting. Soon enough She found herself and Kim at the center of attention.

Draken stepped over two guards he had knocked out with sleep darts, "foolish guards," Draken chuckled evilly to himself as he made his way to the vault to where the plans were being stored. The vault was easy enough to break into but the plans were guarded by a foolproof laser system. "Nothing can ever be simple can it?"

The dance soon began to wind down leaving Shego in somewhat of a predicament. All Shego had planned to do was distract Kim with a dance and then bail once Draken gives her the signal to leave.

Draken grumbled as he adjusted a dial on his watch. With a few clicks the right and a few clicks to the left the defenses went off line allowing Draken a chance to grab the plans and ditch a small bomb in its place. "Shego! Ditch Kim Possible!" Draken shouted into the mike on his watch as he ran as fast as he could.

"Took you long enough," Shego thought to herself. Luckily her mask hid her agitation fairly well. The timer on the bomb ticked down from ten too one and the resulting explosion completely devastated the basement floor where the plans were being held. When the bomb exploded  it shook the building and sent everyone in to a panic. Shego took advantage of Kim's distraction and slipped back in to the panicking crowd of people and made her getaway.

"Everyone pleas stay calm!" Kim threw off her mask and attempted to settle down the crowd.  "You should get...to...safety...too?" Kim turned to where Shego was previously standing but saw no one there. She was completely unaware that she had been played for a fool.

Shego was sitting in the Passenger Jet while Draken was going on about the brilliance of his plan. Shego just stared up at the ceiling as Draken droned on. "That was the weirdest thing I've ever had to do," Shego thought to herself. She was so distracted that she hadn't even bothered to take off her mask from the party.

"Shego," Draken called out to Shego who was staring blankly at the ceiling, "Shego you should be celebrating with me!" Draken wasn't yelling so much as he was just trying to get her as enthusiastic as he was over their rare victory. Shego just ignored him as he put the jet into drive and flew it out of the airport.

Half way across Middleton and many hours after Kim had settled everyone down; Kim, now safely at home,  threw herself on to her bed, "Tonight was way too weird." She was flashing back to earlier that evening and recalling the dance she had before the bomb went off. "That guy felt so familiar...and...warm," Kim felt her face began turn a few shades of bright red. " She grabbed the nearest pillow and held it tightly over her face to keep from screaming.

Shego however, had the exact opposite reaction. "Stupid Draken, ss-stupid Possible!" Shego practically growled in frustration. Her mind was racing and she honestly didn't like the thoughts crossing her mind and the more she thought about it the angrier she got. In fact she was so distracted and enraged by these thoughts that her hands burnt permanent impressions on the very expensive couch she was sitting on. "Damn..." Shego huffed as she realized what she had done.

The next morning was fairly normal but Kim felt that Ron was acting a bit jealous, "Ron I know you better than anyone and your totally acting jealous right now."

"Come on K.P I am so not jel~ous~!"  Ron tried to play it off but Kim wasn't convinced. It was obvious that he was a bit more on edge since last night and it wasn't because of the bomb scare.

"Your totally jealous Ron," Kim merely reiterated her point as she walked from her locker to her next class with Ron beside her.

"Yeah man YTJRN*." Monique chimed in on the duo's conversation. (YTJRN - You're totally jealous right now).

"Why do you always hurt my head with your word games Monique?!" Ron cradled his head in pretend agony as the two girls walking with him laughed. "And for the last time I am not jealous," Ron stretched out each word, albeit comically, to emphasis what he had been saying the entire conversation.

"If you say so~." Monique said teasingly earning a little chuckle from Kim.

"Whatever...,"  Ron was still agitated at being interrogated by his friends but decided to let it go for now.

Elsewhere Shego was being bored to death by Draken, "and so you see Shego with these generators I will be able to..to..SHEGO!" Draken was saying before he yelled her name. Shego had actually nodded off in the middle of Draken's evil rant and her snoring was throwing him off.  "If my plan is to work I need you focused!"

"Just wake me when it's time to fight or steal something...," Shego gave a big yawn and proceeded to fall back asleep in her chair. Shego had failed to get any sleep last night due to the actions of the previous night.

Draken could only growl in frustration as he turned his attention back to his work. "Shego never appreciates my work," Draken thought to himself as he began to plan out the rest of the heists for parts he still needed.

"Hey Wade, Any word on that bombing yet?"asked Kim as she chewed on the eraser end of her pencil. It had now been  a week since the incident and still nothing was coming up on who bombed the party.    

"Sorry K.P I still can't find anything new," Wade said to her.  He was the child genius and inventor of most of Kim's gadgets that she used while out on missions. He was completely baffled at the lack of evidence that was left at the scene of the crime a few nights before.  "I'd have better luck of finding your mystery dancer than finding out who bombed the place."  

"wade I need you to focus here," Kim's face turned a few shades of red, "And how did you know about that?" Wade cleared his throat before changing the subject back to the bombing.

"I'm Just sayin," Wade shrugged before he took a huge sip out of his nearby soda before continuing, "I'll keep an eye out for anything suspicious but it'll take a while," Wade paused for a second "oh and the answer is five by the way."

Kim looked at the math problem she was stuck on more closely before realizing the answer was indeed five, "You're the best wade." Kim ended the conversation with Wade and went back to doing her homework; but now she was even more curious about her mystery dancer than she'd like to admit.  

Once the conversation had ended Wade began to go over the footage taken during the ball. After viewing it the first time he went over it a second and third time and something odd stuck out about Kim's dancer every time he watched it. "that's odd," He went over the guest list; all of which were top ranking scientists that he knew and communicated with on a daily basis and Kim's dancer made one guest to many.

Shego stared at the tuxedo she had worn not too long ago, "I should burn you..." Shego ignited a single finger with green flame and held it perilously close to the suit but stopped and she had no clue why.  Instead she tossed it in the back of her closet to forever collect dust and hopefully be forgotten.  Her phone started ringing as soon as she closed the door, "This had better be good."

"Shego its time for act two  of my brilliant plan! mu wa-" Draken was about to go in to full evil laugh mode.

"Pleas...don't do the evil laugh..." Shego said as she rubbed her forehead with her free hand, "you sound like a giggling little girl..."

"I do not!"

Shego heaved a sigh of agitation, "Just tell me where to go." Shego wrote down the address and walked to her car. She was in no mood  to deal with Draken's idiocies tonight and merely wanted to get the job over with.

The plan was simple; go in get the plans and get out. But nothing ever goes according to plan when Draken and Shego are involved. Alarms blazed as firearms were fired at Shego and Draken; "see Shego my brilliant plan worked!" Draken took the lead as he set off several charges that Shego had placed prior to the heist.

"Some plan!" Shego dodged several stray bullets as she ran behind her boss. "Oh yeah just run in grab and ditch," Shego sometimes hated being her boss's employee.

"So I didn't account for the unusual number of guards on duty today!" Draken snapped as He fumbled around in his pocket looking for his detonator switch.

"Draken you are an IDIOT!" Shego screamed as Draken flipped a switch setting  some of the bombs. The resulting blasts sealed off most of the floor exits along with what She thought was going to be their escape, "now how do you suppose we get out now genius?!" Shego snapped.

"Dear Shego you wound me," Draken set off another charge blowing out a whole in the nearby wall leading to the outside; granted it was 40 stories in the air but at least it led outside.  "Soon all will bow before us!" Draken leapt out the whole in the wall in to his personal hover car, "Come on Shego we don't have all night!" Draken shouted as more guards began to arrive to stop Draken and Shego from escaping.

Shego leapt into the hover car allowing them to escape as more bullets whizzed by their heads. "I can't believe one of the crazy Doctors schemes might actually work..." Shego thought to herself as they flew back to their base of operations.

"Next stop world domination!" Draken laughed evilly as he and Shego flew back to their lair.

The next morning Kim answered the call of Lazarus Corp, the company that Shego and Draken had robbed the previous night. "Wade I'm starting to think that we might have the same guy." Kim had spent most of her Saturday morning investigating the recent bomb site.

"You mean the bomber from the party?" Wade was always a few steps ahead of Kim, "yeah I can see where you might get that idea." Wade sounded skeptical of Kim's analysis.

"You don't sound so sure Wade." Kim paced around the main lobby as she talked with wade over her kim-unicator.

"It's still not enough to go on but I'll keep an open mind,"  Wade said as he typed at an insanely fast speed; he was trying to find any trace that this was the same guy. "I'll keep you updated K.P." With that Wade cancelled transmission. With one calm discussion ended another more irritated one began as Ron, being his usual self, managed to set off one of the smaller charges Draken left behind, "Ron!"

"So what you're saying is that this machine of yours will create world peace?" Shego raised her eyebrow in suspicion to Draken's mad idea.  "I mean isn't our whole goal to rule the world?"

"But of course Shego this is just step one to that goal." Draken leapt down from his little platform he was standing on. "I believe world peace is all dependant on who has control," Draken tossed his work goggles onto the nearby bench before continuing his speech, "and given the right tools anyone can create peace for the right price~"

"so is this thing a weapon then?" Shego asked aloud, not really expecting a straight forward answer from her boss.

"Now now," Draken waved his pointer finger at Shego , "you will find out in due time." Draken acted as if he was talking to a small child.

"Watch it Doctor D." Shego barked. She wanted nothing more than to break the offending finger as she grabbed his hand rather violently.

"let go let go let go!" Draken was begging her. Shego obliged by tossing Draken, albeit roughly, to the side and stormed off. "Meanie...," Draken sobbed as he cradled his crushed finger.

Kim was sitting at her computer waiting for a certain friend of hers to come back up stairs with food, "Yo, I come bearing gifts~" Monique walked into Kim's room carrying a tray of random junk food.

Kim relieved Monique of the tray and set it down on the desk, "Thanks for coming over Mo." Kim felt bad for not inviting Ron to come over but after the whole ordeal with Ron acting jealous she just wanted a chance to escape talking about boys.

"you've got to tell me everything about this mystery guy your crushing on!" Monique, however, was not on the same page.

"Mo I am so not crushing." Kim's face, which had turned several shades of red, told a completely different story.

"Su~re your not." Monique knew Kim couldn't keep the all the details to herself for too much longer.

Kim held out for as long as she could but in the end gave in to the power that is Monique, "He said he was an admirer," Kim said honestly.

"Go on," Monique pleaded.  Kim just sighed in defeat as she continued her story.
"Well," Kim tapped her pointer finger against her chin in thought; she had to find the right words to describe someone she barely knew, "He was tall, he had extremely black hair and he was a good dancer." Kim gave Monique a harmless glare, "You happy now?."

"Nope." Monique said teasingly. "Now cut the generic stuff," Monique stated rather flatly.  "And I want the -real- details of that night," she knew there had to be more than what Kim was willing to say.

"Geez you do know that you're as bad as Ron, right?" Kim asked bluntly hoping Monique would get the hint. But Monique was dead set on learning the truth.

"Can you blame me" Monique feigned insult.  "This whole thing is better than any soap opera. "

"I'm so glad that my life is more entertaining than T.V~" Kim responded sarcastically. But she did give in and began to recall the full events of that night

Flash back: (a week ago)

"You certainly are light on your feet~," Shego tried to keep up some form of conversation before she went insane.

"It comes with being a Cheerleader and part time super hero," Kim responded with an innocent laugh.

"And being a pain in my ass...," Shego thought to herself as she rolled her eyes from behind her mask.

As the dance continued Kim felt more and more sure that she has meet this person before."Are you sure we've never meet before?" Kim asked as she looked up at her masked dancer.

"Not personally," Shego kept up with the Kim as they danced, "but I am sure you've saved a lab or two that I have visited." That was the closest thing to the truth Shego has said all night. "As I have said~ I am but a simple admirer," Shego said as she gave Kim a little twirl.

Ron sat at the bar and watched Kim dance with the stranger, "that should be me and Kim dancing...," a slight scowl began to form on his face.

"Pshh not gonna happen~," Rufus squeaked out.

"oh what do you know any ways...," Ron scooped Rufus back up and placed him in his tuxedo pocket. He turned back to the bar counter and ordered another drink.

Present:

"And your sure you've never meet this guy before?" Monique asked. She saw that with each detail Kim pointed out her face grew more and more starry eyed which made her slightly suspicious.

"Yes I am sure Monique," Kim fought the urge to roll her eyes, "I'd at least tell -you- if I had gotten his name."

"if you," Monique gave big yawn before she could finish her sentence, "say so..."

Kim and Monique eventually feel asleep; Monique took Kim's bed, since she was already there, while Kim slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. "Who are you...," Kim mumbled in her sleep. Throughout the night Kim had the same dream where she would be mere moments away from solving the mystery and then it would repeat itself.

Ron sat in his attic with a red photo album opened up in his lap, "it's just not fair..." he flipped through a few pages, "all I'll ever be to anyone is the goofy side kick with the freaky monkey powers."

"Nu-uh~ Ron friend." ~," Rufus squeaked as he pointed to a picture of Kim, Monique, Wade and Himself all having fun.

"Thanks little buddy." Ron smiled at the picture before taking it out of its sleeve and putting it in his wallet.

It had been about a month since the initial heist and Shego, no closer to finding out her boss's true  plan, found herself hanging out with the most unlikely person; DnAmy. "Shego I'm so glad you decided to spend time with me!" DnAmy said in her usual peppy happy voice. She and Shego sat outside in DnAmy's open zoo as they enjoyed some coffee.

Shego had some free time before the next mission and didn't want to waste it in the lair, "It's not like I've got anything else better to do..." Shego stated as she rolled her eyes while sipping her coffee. DnAmy was to giddy and happy to notice her annoyance.

"Well you could always fight that Possible girl you're always flirting with~"  this statement nearly made Shego gag on her coffee but she maintained her composer.

"I absolutely do NOT flirt with Kimmie!"Shego stated very adamantly but DnAmy just gave a harmless giggle as one word came to her mind; denial.

"But if it isn't flirting," DnAmy tilted her head to one side with a quizzical look, "then why do you always use such cute pet-names?" Being the self proclaimed expert on all things cute DnAmy did feel it was rather odd to give such personal pet-names to someone you didn't care about.

Shego went to argue back but found she had nothing to argue back with, "It's...It's not the same as flirting!" was all She had.

DnAmy just gave Shego a goofy smile, "if you ever need anyone to talk to  about your denial just let me know~" She didn't mean anything mean or sarcastic about her offer but Shego of course took it as an insult.

"Shego its time!" Draken shouted in to the mike in his wrist watch.

"On the way Doctor D." Shego was actually thankful for being called away before she was further embarrassed by the conversation she as having with DnAmy.

Draken waited at the meeting point; he paced back and forth as he went over every fine detail and ounce of the plan before Shego arrived, "I am so close that I can almost taste victory." Nothing was going to stop him now

Shego drove down the back roads to get to the lair that Draken was waiting at. "I'll prove you wrong...," Shego felt that it was long overdue to prove to everyone how little she cares about Kim possible.

"She will come around~" DnAmy just sat back in her chair while finishing her coffee, "Girls like her always do~"
