Shego stumbled down the street moving on to a new place to drink, since the last one had kicked her out. She had been pounding the booze in an attempt to forget what had happened but nothing had yet. She spotted the yellow and red sign of the bar she was heading towards, the Busted Stuff. Maybe she could finish the job here and forget for a while.

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight
It's 2 am - I'm drunk again it's heavy on my mind

Shego was feeling depressed and her heart ached so completely that she just wanted to lie down and die. Why did it have to hurt so much? Why couldn't she just get drunk and forget everything.

I could never love again so much as I love you
Where you end where I begin is like a river going through
Take my eyes take my heart I need them no more
If never again they fall upon the one I so adore

She looked over at the bartender, a tall man with dark hair. She waved him over and said, "Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on"

The bartender poured her a triple of scotch and watched as Shego slugged it down as hard and as fast as she could. Once she set the glass back onto the bar she gestured for another refill. If she drank hard enough and fast enough she was able to overwhelm her metabolism for just a little while. It was the best she could do in this case.

One drink to remember then another to forget
How could I ever dream to find sweet love like you again
One drink to remember and another to forget

She waved the guy over again. He walked up to her with an eyebrow quirked, knowing that something had to be bothering the woman. Her green eyes, wet with tears that hadn't fallen, cut up towards him and she said, "Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll be gone"

Shego thought of the scene, of her and Kim yelling at each other for the stupidest reasons. It had started out a simple fight about Stoppable. She had called him a buffoon again, as the blond had done something spectacularly stupid and Kim leapt to his defense like a rapid weasel. She had said some things she wasn't particularly proud of, as her Princess really wasn't a bitch or anything. But Kim…Kim had yelled at her and had not pulled any blows. It hurt worse than when Kimmie had said she hated her and kicked her into that tower. She had said things that could never be taken back, no matter how much Shego wanted that to happen.

You think of things impossible and the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me your cold hand lay in mine

Her Princess had ignored her and had left. She was alone again, back to where she had started, hopeless and hurting, wanting the oblivion that alcohol could bring. These last three days or bar crawling and seedy motels was still not low enough for her. She was almost ready to go back to Drakken, if only it would be able to get rid of this pain.

With a gesture she waved the bartender over and she said, pointing at her again empty glass, "Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I'll go"

Was anything really worth it? She should just forget everything and move on, go somewhere that no body knew her, where she could start over and nurse her broken heart. She missed her red head, but apparently love wasn't enough to keep two people like them together. Her glass clunked empty onto the bar and she could feel the wave of forgetfulness start to cover her once more. She was almost there. She looked up at the dark haired man and asked, "Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll be gone
One more drink my Grace is gone"

She lowered her head to the dark wood and cried.
