Some time later they were finally on their way to the local airport. As usual Shego was flying the hovercar while Drakken looked through some sheets of paper he'd printed out from the internet. Shego glanced over at him and smirked.
"So, where do you plan on going?" she asked him.
"Alaska. Not really sure exactly where yet."
The answer was short and straight to the point, just like Drakken always kept his side of a dialog. When ranting or gloating he'd always speak in a very grand, sophisticated manner but when he was talking with someone instead of talking at them he kept things simple.
"Alaska?" She turned her head and looked at him.
"Yes, Alaska." He answered, glancing over at her. "What?"
"Nono, wait. Let me see if I'm getting this right." Shego murmured sarcastically.
"You've never taken any breaks apart from Christmas and summer as long as I've known you, and now that you're actually going on vacation you choose going to a place without crystal clear water. Without white, sandy beaches. Without sun. A place without fun!"
Drakken sighed. "Your idea of fun and my idea of fun are completely different."
"C'mon Dr. D." Shego replied, rolling her eyes. "We both know you're not gonna want to be stuck in a hotel room all day, not doing anything. I mean, what's there to do in Alaska?"
"There's… I mean… You know… Plenty of stuff!" the mad scientist muttered.
"Like? Alaska's in the middle of nowhere. You wouldn't be able to survive a day without some sort of technology." The green skinned sidekick told him as a smirk started appearing on her face. "Now Australia on the other hand…"
Drakken blinked twice. "Oh no, Shego. No, no, no! We're not going to Australia!" he growled.
Dr. Drakken looked out the window next to his airplane seat. He had made sure to buy two plane tickets after Shego told him she was coming with. At the airport he had to exchange them for new ones though, to…
"Kingsford Smith International Airport." Shego uttered from the seat next to his.
"What?" Drakken asked, turning to face her.
"Look." She handed her employer a red pamphlet while sighing quietly. "We'll be landing at Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney."
Drakken quickly skimmed through the brochure before dropping it back into Shego's lap, seemingly uninterested. Shego knew this mood all to well. He was sulking. Next on the list was him crossing his arms and grumbling. And… there! She checked it off on her imaginary list. His arms were crossed. All that remained now was for him to start making those cute little growling noises she loved hearing…
"Not that I like him or anything." she thought to herself. "It's Dr. D. for crying out loud! I've known and worked with him for years. He's my boss! My cranky, weird, annoying, conceited boss."
Shego reached down into the pouch strapped to her left leg and pulled out her iPod. Relaxing to her favorite songs would help her clear her mind. She closed her eyes, turned the iPod on and settled into her seat. Yep, this was going to be a great vacation. Even if she was tagging along with Mr. Stick-in-the-mud. He was always so wound up and uptight. Always so boring.
Sometimes she wished he would just loosen up and have a little fun. Her kind of fun. The kind of fun where one actually does something instead of sitting around, dabbling with some kind of boring techno-thingy-whatever. Going to a bar, bungee-jumping or robbing a museum of a priceless artefact.
"Priceless." she thought, smirking. "Yeah, right. I'm always able to find a good price on the black market."
An hour passed and Drakken was still sulking. He couldn't believe it. Not only had she basically forced her to take her along on this trip but now she was basically taking over the whole thing. And Australia? At least Alaska had snow. Australia was just like the Caribbean. If she wanted sun and sandy beaches she might just as well have stayed back home at the lair. No, she was doing this just to spite him. Just to get on his nerves. This was her revenge, making his vacation as miserable for him as possible. The more he thought about it the more aggravated he became. His face went from a sulking frown to an angry scowl. Then he noticed something pressing against him.
It was Shego, or her head at least. She had fallen asleep while listening to her music and now her head was resting against his left shoulder He wondered how long it had gone before he noticed it. He had been so focused on his thoughts, his anger, that he hadn't even felt her weight against him.
The evil genius just sat there. He didn't move a muscle, nor did he make any noise. How was he going to get himself out of this situation? First of all he disliked touching. He couldn't stand being hugged, even by his own mother. He didn't even like people getting too close to him. He needed his personal space and right now Shego was intruding on it.
Secondly, what would happen when Shego actually woke up? When she noticed the slightly compromising position they were in? More than likely she'd be surprised and then upset, something he really didn't need right now.
Then again he was really tempted to get his revenge on her for waking him up like she did earlier. Then she'd feel what it was like having someone tear you out of that wonderful, comfortable dream world. Oh yes, it was tempting. His fingers were itching. A smirk appeared on his face. He could make her pay for what she did in an instance. She'd probably get violent with him, but he didn't care. It would be worth it. Sweet, sweet revenge. He grinned at the thought and his right hand twitched. Then it moved.
