Well, everyone really loved "Sleepover" (the ones that have read it anyway) so I've decided to write a story similar to that. I've already said the summary, so let's get this party started!

Mega Sleepover: Girls vs. Boys

By shegal92

Shego retreated into her bedroom. It was time to make the calls. She picked up the phone and started dialing. Two and a half rings and then a familiar voice was heard.

"Hello?" A young girl's voice asked on the other side.

"Still coming, Jane?"

"Wouldn't miss it."

"Great! See you tomorrow!" Shego hung up. One down, several more to go. She dialed the next number on her list. She prayed she wouldn't get the wrong girl. One and a half rings later…

"Hey, Shego! I'm definitely coming." Shego growled. Stupid caller ID.

"Carrying any extra baggage, Artemis?" Shego's foot bobbed up and down as she twisted a long lock of raven hair.

"She doesn't know about a thing." She swore she heard the other girl smiling.

"See you tomorrow!" Shego hung up. She looked at the next number. If she got this one wrong, she'd be humiliated. 678-9005, she was positive this was the right one.

"Joe's Chicken Palace, we're making chicken your way. How many I help you?" A man in his forty's answered.

"Knock it off, Mischief." Please, please let it be her.

"Why do you always have to spoil my fun?" The voice changed to Dr. Drakken's. Yes, it was her.

"Still gonna show up?"

"I intend to, ma'am. Is that varmint gonna show up?" Her voice changed to one you might here in an old western film.

"No, we took care of that. See you later." Shego hung up again. She was always nervous calling Mischief. At least this time she had been reasonably straight-forward. Not like last time. Shego dialed yet another number. Four rings this time and just as the answering machine was about to take it…

"Is this Metaphor's boyfriend?" A younger girl asked. Shego shivered, but then rethought her answer.

"No, it's her girlfriend. Can I please speak with her?" Shego heard frantic running in the background.

"Wow, I never knew…Hey!"

"Give it to me, you little weasel!" An older girl hissed.

"Hello?" The older girl's voice was calm.

"Having troubles with Simile?" Shego snickered.

"Shut up!"

"So, can you make it?" Metaphor sighed.

"Can't." Shego arched a brow.

"Why not?"

"Somebody's got to keep Tigress preoccupied so she won't go snooping into other people's business. And there's Simile, who's chased away all the babysitters in the Black Market…"

"Oooh, can I go to whatever your girlfriend's talking about?"

"No!"

"Pleeeeease?" Simile begged.

"Listen I've got to go." Metaphor struggled with the whining pest.

"No sweat. We'll miss you." Shego hung up.

"Oh well. In order for catastrophes to be avoided, sacrifices must be made." She thought over the last sleepover and mentally hurled. That was bad, a disaster! Well, at least she wasn't hosting that one. This one had to be perfect. Shego dialed the last number, not noticing someone was peeking behind the corner. Three rings and a voice she didn't want nor expect came on.

"Hello?" A man's voice squeaked. Shego's eyes widened.

"Um, wrong number!" She shouted, slamming the phone down. She heard a chuckle behind her and wheeled around.

"Drakken, what are you doing spying on me?" Now that his cover was blown, the mad scientist stood in the doorway.

"Who did you get?" Shego hung her head.

"Avarius." She mumbled. Drakken's smile didn't last long.

"Shego, come walk with me. I need you to help me see something more clearly." Shego groaned.

"Listen, if this is the whole "Am I evil?" thing, I think I'll pass." She stood up anyway.

"No, it's not that at all." She slowly walked to his side.

"Fine, but if War Hawk calls while we're "walking"…"

"She didn't even know you called." They began walking aimlessly around the lair.

"Shego, you've been obsessing over this whole sleepover thing a lot lately."

"Doy, its tomorrow night. And since I'll be hosting, everything has to be perfect. Are you going to turn this into a lecture about how I need to get my priorities straight?"

"No, I'm just wondering why you are stressing over this." Shego rolled her eyes.

"Because it's a reflection on what kind of person I am. If I throw a drab party, then I'm drab. If I throw a terrific party, then that makes me a great villainess. And if you were a girl, you would get that." Shego rethought her words.

"Okay, that really sounded teen-ish." Drakken grinned.

"And they're fun." He finished.

"Not all of them! You should have gone to this one back in 4th grade. That girl couldn't keep us entertained for five minutes. It was a wash-up."

"So it's also about entertainment?"

"Yes. Good sleepovers have pranks and games…" Shego paused.

"Where are you taking this?"

"Sorry, the entertainment was a detour. Back to the popularity, what about Tigress'? It didn't affect her popularity." Shego realized for the first time since the Super Toy plot, she couldn't read her boss' mind.

"Number One: Most villainess sleepovers have a victim. Why do you think Kim was invited, other than to trash my reputation? Number two: Everyone fears Tigress. She is well respected in the villain world. Number three: Until the end, she didn't let the hatred get in the way of the activities. I could go on with this, but I don't want to give fuel to the fire."

"Yes or no: The party was fun despite Tigress." Shego wanted to argue, but she knew there was no way to turn and go back to a safety zone. She almost preferred to have the "Am I evil" rant. At least she knew what was coming with that.

"Yes." She answered regretfully. Drakken nodded.

"I have come to my question with facts behind it." Shego could feel it. Drakken had somehow won.

"Girls have all the fun!" He whined. Shego stopped abruptly.

"What do you mean girls have more fun?" She had always thought guys had more fun with their sports and chips and their couch. She'd give anything to lounge in boxers without anyone caring!

"They get sleepovers filled with pranks and games! Why can't guys have sleepovers?" Shego knew she looked puzzled.

"Guys can have sleepovers. Who says guys can't have sleepovers?"

"The Rules."

"I've never heard of a rule forbidding men to have sleepovers."

"It's unwritten. It's just not how things are done. Girls have sleepovers, guys do arcades."

"I always knew you were a racist, but not to this degree. Guys can do almost anything girls can do."

"You said "almost". That means excluding, as in excluding sleepovers." Drakken slumped on a couch and Shego realized they had walked all the way to the living room.

"If you're so bent on having a sleepover, then have one! Invite all your little villain friends and do guy stuff. Break the gender border if you see it that way!" Drakken perked up.

"That's a great idea, Shego! You're brilliant!" He stood up and began pacing.

"Let's see, I have to plan immediately." Shego nodded, letting him rant. If it made him happy, let it be so.

"I'll have it this Friday!" Shego snapped out of her trance.

"That's tomorrow and that's when I'm having mine!" She cried.

"All the better. Let's see, I have to invite Killigan…"

"No, no, no. You don't understand. Tomorrow's my sleepover. And it's all girls! They'd totally freak if they knew that you were having one, too. I told them I'd get you out of the lair!" Shego started freaking. This had to be some terrible movie or story or something. This couldn't be happening.

"Well, obviously we'll be in separate rooms. We don't even have to have contact with one another. Oh, this is going to be wonderful. Oh, I'd hug you if you would fry me to a crisp." With that, Drakken ran off, eager to make arrangements.

"What kind of terror did I just unleash?" Shego asked herself. Conveniently, the phone rang. Shego snatched it up.

"Shego? Is that you?" A girl's voice was on the line.

"Yeah." Shego croaked.

"Was that you earlier? 'Cause Avarius absolutely flipped when he heard your voice. Should've just hung up. You sound a little freaked. Are you okay?" Shego took a shallow breath.

"War Hawk, we have a major problem."

"What's that?"

"Drakken's going to have a sleepover."

"So? Wouldn't that be an okay thing?"

"Yeah, if it were any other night!"

"You mean…"

"Yes. Drakken and mine's sleepovers are happening at the same time.
