Engagmet 8: Masquerade

"I'm going to kill Shego," Kim said looking at a costume the Shego picked out for her.

"Oh come on girl it's not so bad," Monique said.  "What's so bad about Sailor Jupiter?"

"That was the deal we all made." Yori's voice called out "We go to Brick and Joshes party in costumes picked out for each other." She came down dressed in a white kimono covered in light blue body paint "Besides if anyone is killing there lover it's me."   

"Get in line girl." The wavy-haired girl said "I'm supposed to be voodoo pretties. I'm thinking Kim got off easy."

"Kim, are you shire about this?" Shego came down dressed like a vampire. "I never knew you were into bloodsucking."

"Well, I have been having this recurring dream. Where you're a Vampire and I'm a privet eye." She answered, "And you make the undead look good."

"So what did you two pick for Ron?" Shego asked

Then both the girls said in a monotone "One, two; Freddy's coming for you Three, four; better lock your doors Five, six; grab a crucifix Seven, eight; gonna stay up late Nine, ten; never sleep again."

Then Ron came in dressed as Freddy Kruger." So what do you think?"

"I think that looks great," Kim answered.

"Way did you pick Sailor Jupiter?" Ron asked "She's the good cook"

"Well, she's also the powerful one." Shego answered, "Also she kind but tough, and the one with the most skills."

"But one of them is cooking." Ron wined "Kim can't cook to save her life."

It was late afternoon. The group was headed to the party. Almost there they saw Brick dressed as a Spartan worrier.
"Hello, Ron." Brick said in a flirty tone.

"Dude, you have a boyfriend."  Ron said disturbed "and I already have two."  The last part of that statement initiated some giggling from the girls surrounding him. "I mean I have girlfriends."

"Too bad, a guy like you could have any guy he wanted."  Brick replied.

"Now dear leave him alone," Josh said as he came out of the party dressed as a guy from Bleach. "I don't mind you flirting with other men but stop trying to convert them."

"Sorry sweaty."  Brick said as he kissed his boyfriend on the lips.



At the party, Kim and Shego were enjoying themselves. Ron was off with the girls somewhere probably eating all the food. They were talking Bonnie the werewolf.

"Nice to see you are taking the fact that you turned Brick gay well." Kim joked to her rival.

"Well, it's alright with me." She said, "I see you have a new girlfriend."

"Yep, you are so jealous."  The redhead said

"I will just have to steal you back then," Bonnie said with a sly smile.

"NO way Kim is mine." The green woman said holding on to her girlfriend

"Ya Bonnie you had your chance," The Sailor Scout replied as she kissed her vampire girlfriend.

Out of the corner of her eye, Kim saw something she could not believe. "Shego your brothers here and he found the perfect costume."

A voice yelled out "SPOOOOOONNNNNN!"  as Shego looked around for him. As she laid eyes on her brother.  She almost burst out laughing "The Tick?" Shego said.

"What are you doing here bro?" the green woman asked.

"I was invited. Brick does work for me after all." The Tick said, "How do you like my costume?"

"It's perfect." All three of them answered.

"It's even better than that Guy dressed as Dr. Facilier." Bonnie said

Hearing this the man walked up to the group. If Kim did not know any better.  She would have sworn that he was the real shadow Man.  But that's impossible, seeing how he was a character in a movie.

"Hard you lovely ladies talking about Me." he even sounded just like the Shadowman. "But if you don't mind me saying so. I really am him." As he said that his shadow moved as if it was and grabbed Bonne's "Still think I am an impostor?"

"How can you be the Shadowman? He was from a movie?" A very surprised Hego asked.


"Boy, I don't have time to enplane that." The witch doctor said. "Because I'm going to use the people of the party to pay off my debt to my friends on the other side.

Then it seemed like everything turned funny colors.  It was unnerving of the world shifted from normal colors to nothing but green and purple. Then shadows came up from the ground grappling the Party guests. Shego and Kim barely managed to escape the wave of shadows.

"What do we do princess?" The green woman Asked, "We can't fight them."


"Maybe you can." The redhead replied, "You're plasma shots there weak to light."

"OK sound's worth a tray." The green woman said.

"Wade was fighting shadows got anything that might help?" The hero said into the
kimuticatore.

"I can send some intense light throw the screen that might work." Said the overweight teenager.

"Please and think you." Then she turned to Shego "are you ready?"

"Ready as I will ever be Pumpkin."

The two charged back into the chaotic scene ballasting every shadow in sight. After some intense firing, the shadows seemed to back off. As the voodoo wizard took center stage.

"Those powers and that green skin." The man in purple said "you wouldn't happen to be Sara Go? Would you?"

"How did you know my name?"  The worried thief said.

"because you have a friend on the other side too."   He said with a wicked grin "perhaps you'd like to see her again." He tapped his staff on the ground after he said that. A strange ball of light formed in the middle of the room.  The white then began to take human shape. It slowly turned into a young woman with short brown hair and skin the color of cinnamon and robins egg blue eyes.  She couldn't believe her eyes and was Roxanne.

"Hello Shego. Did you miss me?" The ghost said.

"No this has to be a trick your dead." The black-haired woman said

"I am really how can you not recognize me Bean?"

"Only Roxanne can call me that." The now angry woman said

"I am Roxanne. Come with me to the other side, My love."

"NO," she said as she ignited her hands once more "I love Kim now. Your dead Roxanne I've moved on."  She then blasted the Shadow Man in the face. "Don't torment me like this."

Kim was touched by this but now was not the time to get sentinel  

"Lady you are going to regret that." He then signaled to the remaining shadows. "Get her boys!"

Shego release another round of plasma shots. This time, one hit the wizard's staff.  As the pieces fell to the ground, He seemed to lose control of the shadows, and they slowly vanished.

"You will pay for that girl." He said as he went in for hand to hand combat. Obviously, this being Shego he did not stand a chance.

Before too long the villain was detained and everything was back to normal.

"Hey let's make him sing friend on the other side," Monique said.

"Oh all right." He wizard said "Don't you disrespect me, little man! Don't you derogate or deride! You're in my world now Not your world And I got friends on the other side!

Kim Shego and Ron chimed in "He's got friends on the other side."


"This was the best party we ever had sweaty," Josh said to Brick.

"Yep Honey we are going to have to have the Joker attack next time or something." Brick joked.

"Or Freddy Kruger."

"Hay we got Freddy Kruger," Youri said pointing at Ron.

"And a Swamp monster two," Monique said pointing at a guy in a Gill suit

"I really am GILL!" The monster said in mock anger.
