(Notes: This story is going to come into place a lot better in the next two
or three chapters. I also forgot to say that although I do not own any of
the KP characters I do however own the singer Scarlet Rose, she's a
fictional character of mine. I'd also like to thank you all again for the
wonderful comments!)

The next day.

Drakken's head felt clear today. But he was still shaking. Yesterday, had completely taken him by surprise. Shego, his loyal assistant for so long had just accused him of something so unthinkable. He was glad she believed him when he denied it. But still he felt that certain trust they used to have melting away like a sunset. He tried to think of what to do. She forgave him. But things certainly would be more awkward between them. "I just don't know what to do." Drakken said out loud. "About what?" asked a familiar voice.
Drakken almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Shego standing in the doorway. "Shego. w-what are you doing here?" "I work here. And it's 8:00 AM sharp and I'm ready to work." Shego said bright as a button. Drakken was dumbfounded, 'She seems so settled today.' He remarked to himself. Shego walked gracefully into the lab smiling. Drakken noted again of her strange mood swing. "How are you?" he managed to breathe out. "I'm great! So what are we doing today?" Shego said blowing the dust off one of the machines in the lab. "You certainly are cheerful today." "Aren't I always?" Shego asked stopping short. "Uh. sure." Drakken agreed nervously.
"So you want to work on that case with the metal suit. thingy?" Shego suggested as she brushed out her long shiny tresses with her long thin fingers. "Do you want to?" "Sure Dr. D!" Drakken decided to take advantage of this moment and began plotting right away. "Well, we need to steal something to get Kim Possible up here!" Shego didn't suggest anything she just continued to play with her hair. "Shego?" "Yes Dr. Drakken?" "You seem a little funny today." "In what way funny?" "I mean. odd or strange." "That word was an unfortunate choice." Shego grumbled. "Please tell me if anything is wrong?" "N-no nothing at all!"
Shego's mind raced thinking of what would be fun to steal. Then the jazz music replayed in her mind again. She just couldn't concentrate today, it was too hard. Then an idea hit her so fast it was like lightning. She yelled it out quickly to Drakken! "Drakkie, why don't we steal the original Scarlet Rose album?" Drakken rubbed his chin and looked straight into her twinkling eyes. "Did you just call me Drakkie?" "N-no." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely." Drakken shrugged and then considered the idea. "Scarlet Rose?" "Affirmative." "Isn't she that jazz singer?" "Yes, her original album might be worth millions."
This seemed like an idea. Not a very productive one but at least it would get Kim Possible here and that's all he really needed to worry about right now. And he did love Scarlet Rose. Her music was so urbane but it could still appeal to anyone's ears. Drakken secretly was a huge fan so it would be something nice for his obsession. "I like that idea Shego." Shego was twirling her hair. "For goodness sake stop prinking yourself!" "Sorry." Shego said very softly looking near tears again. "Never mind. How can we acquire this item?" "Stealing it of course. The security in her house is tight but I think I could squeeze through and snatch it. I could have it to you by about say noonish." Shego absently scanned the lab again. Nothing seemed to leave any hints about what might have happened after she was off. She had no proof but she wanted to be sure Drakken was telling her the truth. "Alright Shego but I want you to leave this recording confessing that we did it. That way Kim will be here faster than ever!" "Alrighty." Drakken handed Shego the tape recorder. 'I sure hope things will go okay.' Drakken thought to himself. Shego started to exit the lab but Drakken grabbed her shoulder which made her cry out. Drakken was flustered and looked away from her suspicious emerald eyes. "I just wanted to tell you. you need to suit up in the metal suit and don't forget the pigtails!" Shego gave a short little sigh of relief and strolled into the lavatory where she had left it two days ago.
Drakken waited till he heard the door close then turned on his jazz music, listening to Scarlet Rose sing his favorite song.
