Friday Afternoon

Drakken stepped out of the shower with a black towel tied around his waist. (Shego still had his robe) He rubbed at the mist on the mirror and stared at himself depressed. He loathed how ugly he was. But unless a wonder occurred in the next few hours he couldn't really be anything but himself. Drakken picked up a little black comb and combed the knots out of his hair then tied it back into a little stub of a ponytail.
Drakken had some nice garments to wear that night. A black collared shirt and some black pants. He was hoping at least he'd look somewhat decent tonight and Shego wouldn't see him as the usual slob he was. Drakken had found out that Sunset Diner was a very nice restaurant so he figured he was expected to look nice to the occasion. Drakken's arms were beginning to get chilly so he rushed off to his lab again.

"Scarlet-Rose?" "Yes?" The young blonde looked at one of her assistants cheerfully. "A young lady named Shego is here to see you." The blonde looked puzzled then looked at the clock, "Send her in." Scarlet said sharply.
Shego was led Scarlet's bedroom. "I must have lost track of time." Scarlet said frantically apologizing over and over again. Scarlet-Rose got up from her keyboard and turned it off. "It's okay Scarlet, don't fret, I'm a little early anyways." "You're a very smart girl." Scarlet complimented her, "Now go into the bathroom over there and get into your gown." Scarlet said fumbling over to the closet. "Sure." Shego closed the bathroom door slowly.

Shego stepped back out and was holding the back over her dress up. "Could you zip up the back?" She pleaded. "Certainly." Scarlet said as she walked around a pile of boxes and zipped the back of the dress. "What are those boxes?" Shego asked nosily. "Those boxes are for you." "Really, this is just what I've always wanted, my own pile of boxes!" Scarlet laughed and opened them. "I did some accessory shopping this morning." Shego gasped, "You didn't have to do that!" "I wanted to!" Shego kneeled down to see what was inside. Scarlet lifted out two silky black gloves. Shego squealed when she saw them. They matched the dress perfectly. "Oh my goodness!" Shego slipped them on right away. They ended just above her elbow. "You look like a princess." Scarlet complimented her.
"Look at these." Scarlet lifted out two black high heels out of another box. When Scarlet held them up, black ribbons dangled from each shoe. "They're gorgeous." "You have to lace them up your legs, sort of like ballerina shoes, I'll show you if you don't know how." Scarlet assured her and Shego nodded gazing at the shoes lovingly. "So what's in mystery box number three?" Shego asked greedily. "The best for last." Scarlet said in a sing-song voice. Scarlet handed the smallest box to her. "Open it."
Shego lifted up the lid of the box, she almost dropped it too when she saw what was inside. It was. . . nothing like she had ever seen before. It was too beautiful, like it belonged to someone grand or something. "Oh my god. . ." She whispered, her hands shaking as she held it. "Like it?" Shego just said again, "Oh my god."
Inside the box was a diamond choker, it was covered all the way around with tiny little diamonds. In the back was a little train of diamonds. Shego couldn't believe that Scarlet was suggesting she wear something this, extravagant. "I don't believe it." "It's beautiful isn't it? I think you'll be stunning in it." Shego took her seriously. "You mean it right?" Scarlet giggled and nodded. "Let me put it on for you." Shego nodded slowly, still staring at it. Scarlet didn't expect a "thank-you," The look on Shego's face was better than hearing the words.
The necklace glistened brilliantly in the light. Scarlet finished lacing on the high heels, which Shego almost broke her ankle in when she tried to stand up. Scarlet led her over to her make-up table. "First your hair. . . I'm thinking an up-do for tonight." Shego shook her head. "Sorry to burst your bubble but I have short hair, it may not work." Scarlet smiled mysteriously, "Oh I'll make it work. . ."
* * * * *
Despite all the protests and screams from Shego; Scarlet had twisted Shego's hair into a very tight bun. Shego thought she was done, but then Scarlet picked up a bottle of hair-spray and drenched Shego's hair with it. Shego gagged, "I think that's enough." She said firmly. "It looks very elegant." Scarlet complimented. Although, Shego had the idea that her hair would all fall out when she took out this bun; she did like not having her hair in her face.
Scarlet picked up a package of powder and opened it, "Now it's time for make-up." Scarlet-Rose chirped gleefully, Shego immediately grunted. "Its okay, Kim warned me. It's going to be very light." Scarlet promised turning on her make-up light. "Then you'll be ready to go." Shego smoothed her dress and sighed hopefully. "Okay."
