The next day.
* * * * *
"Miss Possible, can I change your bandages?" "Sure, please do." Kim said removing her blankets and letting the nurse fix her up. Shego was sitting in Kim's computer chair breathing heavily.
Kim waited anxiously for the nurse to finish. Shego almost started crying again when she saw one of Kim's scars. 'I did that, I did that!' Shego thought with shame. Kim eyed Shego and nodded at her. "Oww!" Kim moaned when the nurse tightly wrapped her arm up. "Sorry, it's got to have pressure on it Miss Possible." "Just call me Kim, please." "Sure Kim." The nurse paused and examined one cut closely. "Uh oh!" "What?" Shego asked suddenly. "This cut might be infected." Shego crossed her arms and frowned, "Might be?" "I'm going to put a cream on it that should clear it up. If not we'll try something stronger. Let's let it air out for a little bit, I'll bring up the cream with your other medicine." The nurse said tying the last bandage. "Thanks." Kim smiled sweetly at the nurse who took Kim's breakfast tray and left the room.
Shego stared out the window and apologized again, "I'm sorry Kim, I gave you all those painful scars, then you got into trouble for not being in bed last night." Shego looked at the floor now guiltily. "There's nothing we can do about it now." Kim said firmly. "If there was a way to change what damage has been done Kim, I wouldn't care who I had to go through, I would fix it." Shego looked back at Kim again and changed the subject. "How are you feeling?" "Not bad." She admitted honestly as Shego went over and fixed her Kim's bed again and sat on the edge of it.
"I can't believe how wrong I was." Shego moaned. "Listen, Shego. . ." Kim said at last, "It's not my policy to help out villains." Shego nodded miserably knowing Kim was about to ditch her. "I understand." "But I want to help you out with this Drakken thing." Kim said sitting up and folding her hands. "I want to give you some advice." Shego listened intently. "You need to apologize to Drakken." Kim said simply and laid back in her bed, her duty was done.
Shego slapped her hand hard on Kim's mattress and screamed at her, "Apologize? That's your teen-hero advice?!" Kim raised an eyebrow. Okay so maybe she wasn't quite done yet. "It's really the best thing to do." Kim said quietly. Shego tugged on a lock of hair. "So I'm just supposed to march right up to him and tell him I'm sorry?" "Hey, you did the same thing for me." Kim pointed out.
Shego stood up and paced the room thinking. "I can't." Shego said finally. "You can!" "No, I can't!" Shego argued back. A thought raced through Kim's mind and she lunged forward and gasped. "Oh my god!" She said smiling suspiciously. "What? What is it?" Kim winked at her knowing what was going on. "You're totally crushing on Drakken!" She picked up a pillow and threw it at Shego. Shego caught it then dropped it on the floor.
"What?!" She shrieked at Kim. "Oh come on Shego, it is soooo obvious!" "It is?!" Shego collapsed onto the floor in shock. "There's no way Kim." Kim gave her a long look. "Well, why this obsession of always wanting to please him then?" Shego paused and sat back down on the bed next to Kim. Then thought a minute about what Kim had said then asked, "Kim?" "Mhm?" "If I were to be crushing on Drakken don't you think . . . that I would be first to know that?" "Love is mysterious, it just might surprise you." "How wise, but now its too late to find out now." Shego said as her heart slowly began to let go of another huge part of her old life.
Kim sat back in her bed. She wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away from Shego, and besides she was Kim Possible. Playing matchmaker for two super villains would be cake. "Well, maybe not." Shego looked at her sharply, "What do you mean?" "Why not do some kind of apology gig?" Kim suggested, "Like an apology dinner!" Kim exclaimed excitedly. Kim complimented herself quickly on her good idea. "Isn't that more of a date?" "Well, you'd be shooting two birds with one stone. Find out if you like Drakken, and apologize at the same time." Shego took a moment to consider. "Okay, that sounds like another brilliant idea Kim!" Kim winked then pointed over to her dresser. "Can you please get me that pink box please?"
* * * * *
"You want me to send him a letter on pink flowery stationary?" asked Shego in disbelief. Kim's smile widened. "And that would be a 'yes'" Shego decided for her. "Yep, an invitation to dinner to at a NICE restaurant." Shego didn't really know Middleton too well so she asked with a little laugh, "Are you going to suggest Bueno Nacho?" "So not!" Kim assured her. "I know a fancy cozy little restaurant around here, you'd have to call for reservations." Kim said handing her a menu she had picked up. "It's called The Sunset Diner, because it's the best place in Middleton to see the sunset, it's got an amazing view." Shego skimmed through the menu and knew right away. "It's perfect."
"Now you just have to write the invitation." Kim said handing her a pink paper and a pen. "Okay that's it, Now I'm doomed!" Shego flopped back next to Kim handing back the card to her. "Oh it won't be THAT hard." Kim assured Shego. "Just keep it simple." Shego reluctantly took the pen and started chewing on the end of it; she had picked up Drakken's habit. She giggled then knew what to write.
Drakken,
Please join me for dinner on Friday. It will be tons of fun. I'll meet you at Sunset Diner at around five-thirty PM, call me if you have other plans. See you there.
-Shego
Shego handed Kim her letter slowly. "See that wasn't so hard was it?" Kim said looking the letter over with all smiles. "You did good! Just needs one more thing. . ." She said mysteriously. Shego tilted her head and shrugged. Kim reached onto her end table and pulled out a spray bottle then she quickly sprayed the letter twice." She handed it to Shego and said, "Smell."
Shego sniffed the paper and started to cough immediately, "That's really strong." "It's my favorite scent, vanilla." Shego coughed again, "It smells vile. I can't send a letter like this to Drakken." Shego got ready to rip the letter to shreds, Kim took it from her then folded the paper carefully over twice; then placed it into a matching pink envelope. Kim took a new pen off her end table since Shego was already chewing on the other one.
In her neatest cursive writing she wrote "Dr. Drakken" on envelope. Then she sealed it with a sparkle rainbow star sticker. Shego stared at her in terror. "I think I'm going to be sick, I can't believe I am going to actually send this to him! Wait a second, who will deliver this?" "Don't worry about that, Shego. He'll have that letter by tomorrow." Kim put the envelope on her end table. 'This might really actually work.' Shego thought pleased with Kim's idea.
Shego went to go open the door for the nurse carrying Kim's lunch tray and medicine, but before she opened the door she spun around and looked at Kim. "I think everything's clear except one huge problem." "And what would that be?" Shego looked down at her outfit. Kim's old cargo pants and an itchy sweater. "What am I going to wear?"
