6 PM:

In the airship on the ride back to the lair, Drakken was sitting in his chair, still trapped in the bubble. Shego's plasma wasn't cutting through it, so they'd have to wait until they got to the lair for them to figure out a way to free him.

Drakken had his eyes closed, stewing in rage over his defeat, when he felt something repeatedly hitting the side of the bubble. Opening his eyes, Drakken saw Shego bouncing a small rubber ball off the side of the bubble.

"Shego, will you stop that?!" he growled.

Shego locked eyes with her boss for several tense seconds before deliberately bouncing the ball off the bubble again while smirking. Drakken let out a series of strangled grunts and went back to stewing.

9 PM:

While the bubble was very durable (evident by how it refused to pop after being attacked with several death rays, welding torches, and chainsaws), it turned out to be biodegradable. After a few more hours, it had degraded enough for Shego to cut a hole in it and pull her boss out. Once Drakken had made a trip to the evil scientist's room (he had been holding it in for several hours at this point), he and Shego found themselves at the kitchen table eating leftover spaghetti and meatballs from the night before.

"Well, I'd say today was a bust," Shego grumbled, twirling her fork in the spaghetti to pick it up.

"I wouldn't exactly say that," Drakken replied with a mouthful of tomato sauce. "The heist admittedly went poorly. But on the flip side, I did overcome my evil schemer's block!"

"What? Are you still seriously considering this dinosaur DNA thing?"

"Of course! There has to be other sources I can steal DNA from besides from conventions that blasted do-gooders attend. They've found DNA in dinosaur skeleton bones, right?"

"Uh-"

"There are all sorts of dinosaur skeletons being displayed around the world. Ooh, I've heard the Natural History Museum in New York City has a lot of those bones just laying around. One of them has to have some DNA, even just a little bit."

Shego thought about this. "Hmm, I would like to go on one of those landmark tours in the city."

"Me too! Ooh, and we could go see a Yankees game! They're my favorite baseball team, you know."

"Really? Why?"

"They're a dominating empire who everyone besides themselves hate dripping in accomplishments who smother their rivals until they're wasted away to nothing!"

"Let me guess: you're also a fan of the New England Patriots?"

"How did you know?"

Shego smirked and took a bite of her spaghetti. "Lucky guess."

11 PM:

Exhausted after a busy day, Shego left her boss in the TV room watching reruns of The Golden Girls to go to bed. She placed her head back on the pillow, pulled the blankets up, and closed her eyes…

"SQUAWK!"

Her eyes shot open. Shego opened her bedroom door and heard the noise coming from Drakken's bedroom.

"Drakken, your stupid bird won't shut up!" Shego shouted over the noise the seagull was making.

"Just throw a sheet over Barry's cage," Drakken called back. "He'll realize it's nighttime and go to bed."

Sighing, Shego entered Drakken's room. In the corner of the room next to the window was Barry, perched in his cage, who squawked at Shego upon her arrival. She was about to take the blanket off her boss' bed and cover the cage when she had a mischievous idea. She opened both the window and the cage door.

"You have five seconds to fly outta here," Shego whispered, "before I turn you into tomorrow's lunch."

Barry flew out the window, flying into the night. Smirking, Shego closed the window and covered the cage to temporarily hide her treachery.

"Shego," Drakken called to her as she exited his room, "did you cover the cage?"

"Yep," Shego replied, conveniently not mentioning the lack of contents inside the crate. "Goodnight, Doctor D."

"Get some sleep, Shego. Tomorrow, we have a big day of planning ahead of us. We're hitting the Big Apple, baby!"

With that, Shego climbed back into bed and fell asleep, ready for tomorrow and whatever it threw her and Drakken's way.
