It was three AM as the hover car landed on the roof. Rain began to sprinkle lightly as the top whirred opened.

"Oh great! Figures it would rain the one time I don't pack my umbrella!"

"Quit complaining." The slim girl in green jumped out of the car. "It's barely a drizzle. You wait here and hold the rope."

"Fine by me!" Drakken dug under his seat and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here's what you're after!"

Shego did a double take. "The Faith Diamond!"

"Shh!" Drakken hissed, waving his hands. "Yes, the Faith Diamond! It's crucial to my plan! Why do you think we're at the Jonesonian Museum of Natural History in the first place? To steal a mammoth?"

"All right, shut your pie hole." Shego fired up her hands and using them, carved a hole in the roof.


The guard was seated on a backless camping chair, reading a newspaper. Behind him, Shego leaped through the ceiling and somersaulted on the ground. Rolling behind a wall, she snuck a peek at the man in uniform.

"Drat. Hmm…" Using her right index finger, she shot a thin green beam over his head. It ricocheted off the wall and into another wing. A faint crash could be heard.

"Oopsie!" But it served her purpose. The guard was already out of the room. The loud echoing footsteps of the other guards could be heard as they bounded down the hall.

Seizing her chance, Shego cart wheeled to the display case and through the red beams. Kneeling down, she pressed her face to the glass. The diamond inside glittered red from the reflection of the beams. "Hello, Beautiful!" Carefully, she began to cut a hole in the pane with her finger…

"STOP!" Shouted a voice. "Thief! Thief!" Alarms began to blare.

Shego gritted her teeth and growled. "Aw, forget it!" She blasted the case. It shattered into a hundred pieces; the diamond flew through the air.

"Catch it, Moron!" One of the guards yelled, pushing another forward. He dashed through the large room, his hands spread wide.

"I got it!"

Shego jumped. Flying through the air, she pushed herself off his head and grabbed the giant gem.

"Sorry, Pops, but you don't got it!" Landing on the floor, she sprinted towards the hole where a rope was dangling.

Grabbing hold with one hand, she tucked the diamond under her arm. As the cable pulled up, she blew a kiss with her free hand.

"Bye! Thanks for the ice!"


As the hover car flew away, Drakken could be heard saying, "You know, you really ought to lay off dessert for awhile, Shego. How am I supposed to pull you up when you weigh as much as Dumbo?"

Then, "Ouch! Stop hitting me with the diamond! I take it back! Ouch!"
