[On the far edge of the lake - as far as you can get from the cabins, and semi-obscured from view by some trees - 1am finds Shego sitting on the bank, lazily trailing her toes through the water and lighting a cigarette. As much as she's tried to avoid herding small children, she's still had more encounters today with idiot fourteen-year-olds who think they're at the center of the universe than she was planning to have all summer. At least she's alone-ish now, although it feels like camp never really sleeps. She inhales deeply, exhaling smoke.]

[He rolls his eyes and makes a note to take whatever booze he sees her with. She so isn't old enough. :|]

I'm not that weird, [he said with a half smile, sitting next to her.] I needed to keep busy this summer. Nothing wrong with learning how to make people listen to me while I'm at it.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[She laughs. Not in a mean way.] Sure. The world will fear and envy your power over a bunch of adolescent adrenaline junkies. First summer camp, then the world.

[peektuttut]

[IS THIS BONDING or just the calm before the mocking storm? Tim snorts.] I've got this internship at my dad's company after this. I figure there isn't a big step between kids and corporate moguls, right?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Nooo. It's more like a teeny tiny hop. They're just more resistant to caffeine, is all. What does your dad do, anyway?

[peektuttut]

Right. Need stronger coffee. I'll remember that. [He shrugs.] He has contracts with all sorts. Mostly electronics. I think there are a couple military deals, but he doesn't tell me much about them.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Exciting. So this is your one last grasp at the great outdoors before you get inducted into Daddy's evil empire, huh?

[peektuttut]

Oh yeah. He can't take over the world without me, you know.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Sure. Every attempt at global domination needs its floppy hair and winning smiles to come from somewhere.

[peektuttut]

[He needs a moment to absorb that she thinks he has a winning smile. Then he needs a moment to reach up and pat his hair.]

...My hair isn't floppy.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Maybe not yet, but it's...heading that way. Don't go the whole summer without getting a trim, you'll look like you escaped from a late-90s boy band and that's only good for a very specific kind of girl.

[peektuttut]

[Tim shuddered.] Yeah, the scary kind.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Terrifying. [She drummed her fingers against the grass, feeling a little bit fidgety now that she didn't have a cigarette to hand.]

So. You don't smoke, you don't drink. Are you going to be bending any rules?

[peektuttut]

I might take my campers to the ice cream shack. Without clearing it with four people. [He wiggled his fingers in front of him.] I'm that intense.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[Shego laughed.] Check out your hardcore rebellion. I'm afraid to be seen with you.

[She circled a toe around in the lake water.]

I was going to take a swim before I head back. Wanna join me?

[peektuttut]

[He chuckled, looking out at the water before glancing back at Shego.] I, uh, I don't have trunks on.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you've got something on under there, right? Or just...

[She shrugged and shot him a challenging half-smile as she got to her feet.] ...just don't bother. I won't look.

[peektuttut]

[Oh. Boy. That. Well. Tim ran a hand through his hair and stood up, blushing a little. It was dark enough to hide that, right? He started tugging off his shirt.] Uh - yeah, okay.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Score one for peer pressure. [She chuckled and slid out of her sundress, revealing a black bikini underneath.] And hey, it's only the first night. Maybe by the end of summer you'll stop caring if your campers use the buddy system.

[peektuttut]

[Tim rolled his eyes at her, shaking his head. He hesitated for a minute, but slid off his shorts. At least he wore boxers today. He could deal with boxers in the water.] Uh-huh. And when one of them drowns, I get sued.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Not so much. The camp gets sued and you cry about how you were so undertrained and overworked that you just couldn't concentrate.

[She started to wade out into the lake. It was a warm night - the water was cooling but not chill.]

Oh, and then you sue them too for causing you emotional distress.

[peektuttut]

That'd be...a really crappy thing to do. [He stared for a moment before following her in.] Nothing like suing and lying.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, you're doomed to be Mr. Nice Guy forever, I figured. It's kind of cute.

[peektuttut]

[He snorted.] Not everyone wants a bad boy.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[She ducked underwater for a moment, coming back up and throwing back a mass of soaked hair.] What, you think I'm being sarcastic?

[peektuttut]

[Well. Yes. Yes he did. Tim hid how flustered he was by mimicking her and dunking other, lifting his feet so he could tread water and push hair out of his face.]

Uh - you're not?
