Wow, two months... well at least I can say that I'm still alive. I'll try to make Drakken and Shego a little less ooc in the next chapter and enjoy this one!
Tim and Letta snuggled close, enjoying the rainy day inside with a movie. Tim tapped her shoulder. "Hey, you know uh, ... since we're going to the same college and have a few classes together and uh.. well we're dating and all," he spoke hesitantly, " You know, I mean don't ya think that..". Letta sat up and finished, "You think we should move in together? Well cost wise it's the best since we'll be going to school three states over but I'm pretty sure that our folks wouldn't like that.".
Tim sighed, "I know I know. Well you haven't found an apartment and the one I got has two bedrooms and is less than a mile from the school.". Letta laughed "Yeah, but wasn't you and Jim supposed to live together?". Tim lowered the volume before answering," Yeah but he found a single apartment close by so I got an apartment and no one to share it with. And you know I've never lived anywhere by myself and I kinda don't want to experience it so whaddya say?". Letta thought for a moment then snuggled back to him, "Sure I'll be your roommate," she agreed. Tim grinned, "Sweetness,". "Um, just one thing," she mentioned. Tim rose an eyebrow in hesitation, "What are we gonna do with the other room?" she asked.

Drakken's lair was oddly quiet. The evil genius let all the henchmen go for the week for a mandatory vacation. The tweevils were off at Nana Lipsky's becoming the center of attention at the old folks home leaving the evil parents alone for the moment. A strange squeal erupts from deep inside the lair as a half-naked Drakken ran for dear life; the clothes he still wore were burned and barely holding together.
"Shego!" he huffed, "W-when you first suggested foreplay *wheeze* I thought it would be, oh I dunno, SEXIER THAN BEING HUNTED IN MY OWN LAIR!?". A green plasma blast landed dead center of Drakken's rear followed by a hearty laugh, "Oh come on Dr.D do you doubt me? By the end of this you'll be begging for this again,"
Drakken turned his head slightly to retort but was tackled from behind. The two rolled a little. Drakken landed on top of a smug Shego. His heart raced as he acknowledged his dominant postion. He wasn't sure if it was due to the prolonged running he just endured or the reverse predator/ prey situation he was in, but Drakken could feel a primeval need swell up inside him.
Drakken tossed Shego over his shoulder and swaggered back to their room. "Well what did I say?" she laughed. " Save the 'I told you so's for later" he growled.

"Global Justice, what is the nature of your distress?" Kim answered monotonously. Her desk was in the Global Justice lobby. She help dispatch GJ agents to whatever crisis happened all over the world. The agents would often stop by her desk and listen to her talk about her past adventures dealing with the world's most evil of villians and asked how to deal with some of them like Duff Kiligan or Nanny Nane.
Kim actually loved working for Global Justice; it brought in more money than Ron's job at Smarty Mart and it was an organization a person would only dream of being a part of, however she would often find herself missing going out in the field and being a part of the battles. She smiled reminding herself that she had a bigger sitch to get ready for as she looked at the small bump peeking out of her t-shirt.
"Missing the call of duty already, Miss Possible?" a voiced asked. "Director Betty!" Kim gasped, Betty just grinned, "I know it's not exciting as actually going out there but it's just as good. Your experience is a huge advantage for us, Possible. Since you've been working here we've had fewer villain escapes from the agents and a higher success rate then ever. If you don't mind me asking, how has Stoppable been dealing with everything?"
Kim leaned back, "Ron's been taking triple shifts at Smarty Mart and applied for a job in the Bueno Nacho corporation. Strangely enough he's still keeping up with everything, been making sure that I'm fine, and is actually focusing on his school work,". Director Betty nodded, "To me it looks like he's trying his best to be there for you. Besides, what is so strange of your love keeping up with his studies so diligently?". Kim lifted an eyebrow, "We're talking about the guy who confuses calculus with chemisrty on an hourly basis. I'm curious if he's getting help from Wade or from someone,"
...
"Uh, dude no. You can't put an aquamarine into the goldfish. They are not poke'mon and won't evolve if you do that," Ron lectured for the third time. The person he was talking to had come into Smarty Mart for the ninth time in two days for a goldfish. The man scoffed, "Well you don't know a thing about evolution. I am a science professor so I should know what is and isn't possible. You just kept giving me low-level fish,". Ron groaned, he went to the fish tank and got the fish closest to death- a barely swimming goldfish that lost way too many fights, and handed it to the idiot. "Ah ha! You finally understood," he boasted, "Now my little Goldeen, tonight you shall be a Seaking!"
Ron's manager came out from the staff room, clearly hearing what the man had said and spoke to Ron, " Okay at first I thought you were kidding about that guy but... yeah we're banning him from the pet department. Ronnie, have you ever heard of ?", Ron looked at his boss and sighed, "Yeah, the only reason I can still put up with people like that. And whats worse? I'm pretty sure I had signed up for that guy's class, well I'm so changing professors."
The two walked back into the staff room, the manager scratching the back of his bald head. Ron pulled out his textbooks and begun to go over his homework. "You should eat something ya know," his manager pointed out, " I applaud ya for keepin' up with your studies but don't forget to feed the body too,". "Oh yeah, sorry Mr. Garrison. I just been trying to be the best Ronster I can be, ya know I got a little bundle of fun comin' my way soon. We're both saving up, and we got insurance, made the nursery room, the baby shower's on the way, and hopefully if I can get that job at Bueno Nacho a house of our own in the future. I know I'm working hard, but you know I gotta grow up soon, right Rufus?"
Rufus popped out of his pocket " *Squeak squeak* Gotta be a man!" he added. Garrison smiled, " Well, best of luck to ya, Ronnie. Don't go overboard. Hey didn't ya have an arch nemesis that want through the same thing?". Ron nodded, "We're not like the best buddies, well except when it comes to the mini villain, but they haven't really did any world dominating things lately. *sigh* 'S not the same without the occasional fight or world in danger thing but family comes first and even they know that,".
Garrison continued, "True, but I gotta admit you've grown up a hell of a lot since working here. Whatever happens happens, remember that. " he left from the room back into the store. Ron continued to pour his attention into his books while Rufus munched on a candy bar.

"..So what do you say?" Letta asked. She sat in front of her parents anxiously waiting for their reply. They stayed silent for a while before speaking, Drakken sighed, "Well, seeing as there haven't been any progress in finding an apartment it will be fine. However you two will have seperate rooms- no exceptions!". Shego added, "And no just saying okay and sharing a room with the shrimp. You know we can find out,". Letta leaned back, " Um, yeah I can comply with that,". She nodded.
"Good then. Well we are off to another heist," Drakken announced, standing up and leaving towards the door. "Huh, really? Just a few thefts to keep yourselves in the crime game?" Letta joked. Drakken glared at the woman and laughed mockingly, "We just let you move in with your beau, you don't want us to reconsider that do you?". Letta sped out through the door giving off a quick 'I love you'.
"Shall we?" Shego asked extending her hand.
