Shego's hand rested on the banister on the stair case. "Dr. D?" She asked softly keeping her guard up. There was no answer. She took a quiet single step into the lab. "Dr. D?" She tried again. Then she heard a little grunt. "Oh!" Shego exclaimed nervously. Shego came in to see Drakken lying on the same sofa only with a wet cloth on his head. "A-are you not feeling well?" Shego asked very softly trying to avoid the subject. "Not really." "Too bad." Absently she twirled her hair and began. "I think we. uh. need to talk." "Obviously."
Drakken finally smiled and sat up letting the cloth fall onto his lap. He patted the seat next to him on the sofa. "Alright Shego. Come sit and we'll talk." Shego nervously started walking backwards. "Uh. I don't think so Dr. D. I'd prefer to be standing." When she said this Drakken stood up and smiled. "As you wish." "N-no! You stay there!" Shego commanded panicking. Drakken shrugged and sat. "Well we can't very well talk if you are on the opposite side of the room!" Drakken said raising his voice slightly. "It works for me!" Shego commented coldly. "Well it doesn't for me!" Drakken was almost shouting now. Shego was now looking anxiously at the door wondering why ever she came down here.
Drakken gave up then rubbed his forehead. "Well Shego, I suppose this is about last night?" "No duh. You really are a genius." Drakken twisted his hands uneasily. "Well, I'm very sorry it happened." "Oh, I am too." Shego snapped back. "Listen." "I am." "Shego, we were both drinking. And I'm not a regular drinker and I don't think you are either." "I'm not." "Good. So anyway, from drinking so much we got drunk pretty fast." "Yeah." "And then we couldn't really control anything that happened there on."
Shego looked at her feet wanting to cry again. "I hope this hasn't scarred you or anything but it was just a kiss." Rage boiled through Shego's veins. "Just a kiss? What about what happened AFTER the kiss?" She accused. Drakken looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" "You know very well what I mean." Drakken paused and thought a minute then responded, "No, I really don't." "Okay so, I faint or fall asleep or something. Great right? I wake up on the sofa. SLEEPING NEXT TO YOU." Drakken shook his head. "Your point?" "Drakken, you may be evil but you committed the ultimate crime! You. you." She couldn't even say it, the word itself was so vile, so wrong. Shego collapsed on her knees and sobbed.
"I committed the ultimate crime? Which would be." Drakken's voice trailed off not understanding any of this. Shego bit her lip then said very soft and coldly, "You rapped me. That's what you did."
Drakken almost leaped out of his skin in shock. How dare he accuse her of such a thing. "What are you talking about?" "Come on, I wasn't in my room AND I was sleeping next to you! You rapped me! I hate you!" Shego stood up and started to run out of the room.
"Shego wait!" Drakken was pulling out his hairs. Shego stopped short but didn't look at him. She just couldn't. "I didn't rape you." "Prove it." Shego said sharply turning around. "Listen, you fainted. I carried you to the sofa. Laid you down. I got sleepy, fell asleep and that's ALL that happened." Drakken suddenly realized how stupid that just sounded. Shego sniffed and wiped her puffy eyes again. "I don't believe you." "Honestly." Shego ignored him and started walking away again. "I'm leaving." "Oh god damn it Shego! I didn't do a thing to you but give you the alcohol! I didn't touch you, I never ever would! Can't you see that or do I have to go through a freaking lie detector?" Shego turned to look at him again. Her evergreen eyes were crying a river. "Listen, I'm sorry Shego. Sorry you assumed this, sorry about the kiss, the dancing, the alcohol and everything else that happened." Drakken whispered. Shego mouthed the word, "Okay." To him as she walked out the door. "You forgive me?" Shego paused for a moment touching the door frame. Then she nodded, "For now."
