Shego and Drakken were tolerantly waiting for their orders, as they caught up on things. "I can't believe you've been living with Kim Possible." Drakken exclaimed. Shego then told Drakken about how thoughtful and hospitable Kim had been to her. "She even lent me her clothes."
Drakken had never felt more dazed, just a few minutes ago; he had realized how much he truly needed Shego. Now he didn't know how to act around her, or how to let her know. Drakken just tried to be as pleasurable as he could. "That's Kim Possible's dress?" "No, actually this one was a gift from a friend." Shego replied softly, her cheeks staining pink. 'Compliment her!' Drakken's conscience was shouting at him. Drakken gulped then said, "That dress . . . looks gorgeous on you." Shego's cheeks became darker and she shyly thanked him. "That's very sweet." Her voice was gentle.
Shego folded her hands and leaned toward Drakken, "So what have you been doing this whole time? Any good plots lately?" Drakken shook his head, "Not really, I tried to find a replacement but, I'll never find the right one." Shego felt her heart sink again; Drakken had moved on and tried to replace her. Shego couldn't think of where to pick up this conversation and so started another long staring contest.

Drakken and Shego had just sat through a full meal and hadn't uttered a word to each other. Drakken couldn't think of any good topics, and Shego was thinking about how her career was officially over. He did say no one amounted to her, but she was sure that was just him being nice. The waitress came to clear the meal and give them their desert menus; she asked if they had enjoyed the meal. Shego politely said 'yes' and Drakken added that the steak was a bit too rare. The girl growled and then muttered something inaudible and thundered off with the plates to the kitchen.
'Think of something to say, anything! Just say something! Don't end the night like this!' Shego encouraged herself, then she burst out without thinking, "That waitress has PMS." Shego immediately couldn't believe she said that. 'Nice going idiot.' She thought. Drakken burst out into uncontrollable hilarity. 'Well, at least he's laughing.' Shego chuckled at her own joke. Drakken decided to use this change of mood to insult the waitress some more. "I wonder if the restaurant gives her free meals." Shego almost spit out her Shirley Temple giggling.
Until the teenage waitress came back, Drakken and Shego were gossiping about her. Drakken said that he had never laughed so hard, and then Shego told him he must have a very gloomy life. "How about that desert?" Asked the stubborn waitress whom was tapping her foot impatiently. Shego and Drakken looked at each other; they hadn't even read the desert menu! Shego muffled her snickering and said in an innocent voice, "How about Apple Alamode," Shego read her name tag, "Nancy." Drakken and Shego didn't dare look each other in the eye at this point. "Sure!" Nancy chirped taking the menus from them and walking away slowly.
As she left, Drakken and Shego burst out laughing again.
