Late that night. . .

* * * * *

Kim had arranged for Shego to go shopping with Scarlet-Rose since she had flat out refused to shop with Ron and Rufus. Scarlet was a beautiful looking girl with lots of fashion sense but shopping with Shego was going to be tricky for her. The only reason Scarlet had ever agreed to helping Shego was when Kim requested it specially. Both of the girls had a big grimace on their faces as they shopped.

Scarlet-Rose circled around Shego examining her body. "I know what your colors are, they're green and black." "Oh that must have been a challenge." Shego commented sarcastically. "So this is for a date?" "No, an apology dinner." Scarlet chuckled softly, "Same thing." Scarlet took out a shiny neon-green mini-skirt and held it up to Shego. "Looks like it's just your size." Shego's jaw dropped open when she saw the hideous skirt, Scarlet expected her to wear. "There's no way I'm wearing that. Just a nice pair of pants and shirt." Shego said defending her fashion choices. Scarlet- Rose patted Shego's shoulder. "Look, I understand if you're nervous but I can't help you with those kinds of boundaries." Shego sighed in conquer, "Fine but I am defiantly not wearing that skirt." Scarlet shrugged and put it back onto the rack.

An hour later. . .

"No, that won't work." Scarlet said as Shego stepped out of the dressing room in a glistening lime street dress. "Hey, maybe our opinions aren't so different!" Shego joked as she moved around uneasily in the tight dress.

Scarlet didn't respond, her eyes were focused on something else. Shego looked to see what it was; her face lit up when she saw what Scarlet was staring at. "Wow." Was the only word that Shego could say. . .

"It's marvelous!" Scarlet applauded as Shego stepped out of the dressing room wearing the striking gown. It was a designer piece, very expensive but Scarlet-Rose promised to pay every cent of it. It was a black ankle length gown; it dazzled like a piece of ribbon. It was tight around Shego's waist and also sleeveless. Shego worried that she might be over dressing; but it wasn't slutty in anyway, just elegant and trendy. Scarlet was pleased with the outfit as well.

"Okay Shego, go get changed. I'll buy the gown for you." Shego twirled around in the mirror and smiled once more. "I've never actually wanted to wear a dress before, until now. It's perfect." Her eyes shone deeply, "Thank you Scarlet." Scarlet beamed and unzipped the back of the dress. 'She's entirely as bad as I thought she was.' Scarlet-Rose thought to herself. "You're welcome Shego." She said exiting the dressing room so Shego could get herself changed.

As Shego changed back into Kim's old clothing she wondered how Drakken would react when she saw her. She wondered if Kim was right about her liking Drakken. She never even thought about wanting to impress him or please him until now. But Kim did have a point; she always had cared about Drakken more than anyone else. "But does that mean I would like him?" she whispered to herself.

Shego opened the dressing room door and handed the hanger and dress to Scarlet-Rose who delicately hung it up. "Shego, I want to do your make- up and hair tomorrow so come over to my house about an hour early? Okay?" Shego bit her nail thoughtfully, "Sure okay." Shego's face was gloomy when she saw the price pop up on the screen. "There's no way she'd pay that much." Shego muttered. But she was wrong. The blonde teenager took out her credit card and placed it on the desk. "Are you sure?" Asked Shego feeling guilty, she didn't deserve this. "Yeah I'm sure." Scarlet said taking the shopping bag and handing it to Shego. "See you tomorrow." "Thank you." Shego said politely waving at Scarlet as they left the mall in separate directions.
