* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Dr. Director originally suspects that Shego is trying to [[CivilianVillain pull some sort of trick]], and puts her and Kim through [[PerpSweating a probing and embarrassing interview]]. Once she's convinced of their sincerity, she helps them get together, allowing Kim to visit Shego in custody and eventually arranging for her to be released and go to work for GJ.

Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: This seems to be the case in-universe, where Kim and Shego have no idea how they learned to drive a manual transmission (Kim) or cook (Shego). The reader recognizes this as a result of lingering memories from the Other World, and the characters eventually figure this out.

* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Gasoline goes bad after a few months, diesel after a year or so. Even if it had been treated with a stabilizer, it would only be good for about a year (gasoline) or three (diesel). There's no way they could have had working cars and electricity for two decades in the other world.

Added DiffLines:

* PhoneTraceRace: Shego's memory flashes from the Other World eventually drive her to call Kim to find out if she's experiencing the same thing. At first, Kim keeps her on the line, but her own memories make her increasingly uneasy until she finally tells Shego to hang up before the trace finishes. (She doesn't hang up in time, but does escape.)

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Averted when a checkout clerk notices Shego's [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation skin tone]]. Shego has a standard response for such situations: she [[BlatantLies says]] that it's [[TooMuchInformation a skin cream made from cow placenta]], a gambit that unfailingly makes the questioner [[YouDoNotWantToKnow wish they'd minded their own business]].

After listing them, he "offhandedly" mentions that GJ will also be informing Team Possible. Shego's reaction gives away the fact that she wants to avoid contact with Kim, and she soon reveals the whole story.


Added DiffLines:

* TrespassingToTalk: When Shego decides to turn herself in, she sneaks into Global Justice HQ and waits in Dr. Director's office until she shows up, then negotiates an arrangement where she's taken into custody without a public announcement so that Kim doesn't try to contact her.

Where the story really gets interesting is when they come back from the alternate universe, restored to their original ages with no memory of the experience, to discover that [[NarniaTime they've been gone for thirteen days]]. They seem completely unaffected... until each of them experiences odd little shifts in behavior, skills they didn't know before and don't remember learning, and finally flashback memories of Other World experiences. As they realize the connection to the accident, they seek each other out to compare notes, begin re-establishing a friendship, and ultimately fall in love all over again.

The story begins as many do, with Kim and Shego fighting in one of Drakken's lairs.

Over the course of the next twenty-one years, Kim teaches herself math to find a way back home, while Shego studies medicine to keep both of them alive in this strange new world. Over time, they fall in love.
