Special Day
When Melody was only five years old, something amazing happened to her. She was playing with her friends the Go Family. There was Hego, Mego, Shego and the twins (Wego and Wego). Every day they would play in the same tree house in the Go's backyard and nothing ever happened until one day.
Melody ran to the tree house and climbed up the wooden steps to the painted door that led inside the clubhouse. Hego, Wego and Shego were inside, and Wego and Mego followed shortly after. They were all playing when Hego saw something out the window.
"Umm, are comets supposed to fall today?" They all came to the window and stared at it as it came closer and closer. In a few short seconds the comet completely destroyed the tree, and the tree house, all in once. Everyone was unharmed or so they thought.
A few days later, Hego was helping his dad with the car.
"Hego lift up the hood so I can look inside." As he lifted the hood, his hands started to glow blue and the entire hood came off. Their father was shocked.
"Dad, I am so sorry, I guess I don't know my own strength," Hego said.
"Oh no big deal this hood has been broken for a long time," he assured Hego. Hego went inside, and just thought about what had just happened.
A few minutes later, Mego was running from some high school students; he was really scared. Next thing he knew, he was on the grass-looked up-the grass was about three feet taller than him. He stopped and looked around. Then he noticed that he was glowing purple and he was about six inches tall.
At the same time, Shego was walking down the street and noticed that the twins were being bullied by five older boys. She went over to help.
"Hey! Knock it off! They are younger than you!" Shego yelled.
"Hey look, a princess! Let's play princess capture." They grabbed Shego and ran off. As they were running with her, she got really mad and her hands began to glow green. A power beam shot through the glow. The boys fell to the ground, and Shego ran away.
After the boys took Shego, the twins got really angry and began to glow red. Next thing they knew, there were eight of them. They didn't know what was happening, but they did know that now they could rescue their sister. On the way, they saw that Shego was okay and began to calm down. As they calmed down, the copies went away. All three of them walked home, where they met up with their brothers. They all went into the playroom to talk about what had just happened to them.
"It must have been that comet. That's the only answer," Shego said.
"But if we got hit then that means…," Mego said, but he didn't finish-they all chimed in together.
"Melody has powers too, we have to find her." They all ran to Melody's house and Melody was in the backyard playing.
"I was just coming to see you guys. We have developed some sort of super powers," Melody said. They went into the woods to talk. They decided to use their powers for good and became Team Go.
As the years past, things got worse for the Go family. Their mother became a drinker, and their father left. When Shego was about 18, their mother died after eight years of drinking non-stop. They were all heartbroken but the heart that never healed was Shego's. At a meeting at Go Tower, Shego made an announcement.
"I'm leaving Team Go"
"What!" they all asked "How could do that? Why are you leaving? We made a pact to be together forever."
"I just don't see the point anymore. The whole reason we did this was to keep mom and dad safe. Now look, dad's gone and mom's dead. There's no one to keep safe anymore." Shego said.
"What about Go City? We can still keep the citizens safe." Wego said.
"I can help in a different way. As the years have passed I've noticed that the other side always has really good plans," Shego said.
"What exactly are you saying Shego?" Melody asked suspiciously.
"I am saying that I'm evil now. I'm leaving this stupid team to pursue a new path. See you never." Shego said and walked out the door. The rest of the team just stood there shocked at what they had just heard.
"I can't believe that Shego just betrayed us like that. I'm going to go talk to her," Melody said. She raced out of Go Tower and ran to catch up with Shego.
"Shego wait!" Melody yelled.
"What do you want?" Shego asked.
"Just to talk to you, I just need to ask something."
"You can talk all you want, but I'm not going back… too many bad memories."
"Okay, okay, well if you won't come back at least let me come with you so you have a friend." Melody said.
"If you really want to, I guess you can come."
"Just let me go tell them, I promise I'll be right back." Melody raced back to Go Tower. She told them she was going with Shego.
"Have you lost your mind?" Hego asked.
"No I haven't, I believe that Shego will be back. I just want to go with her in case she gets in some kind of trouble or she decides to come back. I'll be fine," Melody said. She hugged all the members of Team Go and went out the door.
A few months later, Shego saw an ad for an evil side kick wanted. She answered the ad for a Dr. Drakken. When their eyes met, there was instantly a connection. Drakken hired her on the spot, without an interview. For the next few years, Shego worked for Drakken. The whole time they secretly crushed on each other, but neither one of them would admit to it. Melody still visits the Go Tower every other weekend and they all hope that one day, Shego will return to the Go Tower and take her rightful place on the good side once again. Shego will never admit this but each and every time Melody goes back, Shego thinks of going with her and rejoining. But then, she remembers Dr. Drakken and how much she loves him, and decides not to. She hopes that one day the both of them can become good, and she can be reunited with her brothers once again.
