Kim was taking a shower in the bathroom when her Kimunicator went off. She quickly threw on a towel and ran to get it.
"What's the sitch Wade?" Kim said to the 10 year old genius.
"I think we've got another break with the Shego mystery. A man by the name of Gerald Berkanshift said that a maid came to his house to clean when he didn't even call one. He mentioned that she had sort of a temper. The woman who was cleaning his house had given him a drink which knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, his prized ancient ring was stolen." Wade explained, and then added, "Here, his surveillance cameras caught her on tape. Doesn't she notice we're following her by the tapes?"
"Guess not. Will you let me see the tapes?" She said struggling to keep her towel on. Thank goodness this screen was so small.
"Sure, I'll switch over to video mode." He answered, typing menacingly over his keyboard, and then added, "He contacted us quite fast considering this only happened a short few hours ago." He said, and then switched to video mode.
"Please and thank you." She sweetly added.
The woman in the video was defiantly the same woman in all the other videos and pictures. If this was Shego then why would she not care about surveillance cameras? Surely a wanted villain in eleven countries would know rich guys and public places have surveillance cameras. But maybe she wanted to be seen, she had seen Shego glance up at the camera's a couple of times.
Kim, Ron, Drakken, and Rufus had all gone down too see Theodore Camble and that was no help. All he said was he had a pretty dancer on his lap, and then she got up and left, along with his ring, he was sure of it. Now, Kim guessed, it was time to go talk to Gerald Berkanshift. But, she wasn't sure if he would be any help.
"Wade, can you get us a ride to head over to speak with this Gerald Berkanshift guy?" She asked.
"Sure, I'll send someone over. Is anyone else going along with you?"
"Yeah, I'll call Ron and tell him what we're doing, and then I'll call Drakken and tell him we're heading over there." She said.
"Ok, I'll get someone over there as fast as I can." Wade said then hung up.
Kim had called Ron after she was done getting dressed and then let Drakken know they were going to pick him up. They told him they were going to explain everything on the way to Gerald's home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shego was fingering the shiny gold band with rubies all over it. She was in the back of the jet waiting to get back too Aviarius's lair. She wasn't exactly sure where he stayed she only knew that she wanted out of that place as fast as possible. She was making sure that she was in view of surveillance cameras, that way if Kim Possible was on her tail, she could at least save her. Well that would mean she would be sent to jail for the crimes that she previously committed, but Shego was an expert on escaping. Plus Drakken would probably help her escape, maybe.
That little thought started to get her to think about Drakken, She missed him. She found it strange that she was missing him. He was always a whinny baby, but now that she thought about it, she loved that. It made Dr. Drakken, Dr. Drakken. She knows he cares about her, but she is not so sure if he cares enough for her to come and rescue her.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a scruffy voice telling her to get out of the plane. They had arrived. She calmly jumped off the air craft and walked up to Aviarius. She held out the ring for him too see.
"You are getting these rings too easy." He smiled at her.
"Well, I am the best." She said smugly.
"Now you can have dinner if you want. Go get cleaned up and I'll send someone up to get you from your new room in about two hours. You have pleased me enough to give you a new room. Although it will be locked at all times, it is still good to have a nice warm bed, eh?" He said walking off with his new found ring.
Shego rolled her eyes, she was happy that she gets a room, but to have it locked all the time? 'Oh well, guess it's better than nothing' Shego thought. She was pushed suddenly by one of Aviarius's henchmen. They were shoving her to her room.
It was a long walk to her room but when they made it, they roughly pushed her in and slammed the door shut and locked it. She looked around and smiled. It reminded her of her room back at Drakken's lair. It was a simple room painted light green with dark green shades over her windows, and her bed was a queen sized bed with green sheets over it also. The carpet was a faded green. The dressers and other furniture's were all wooden. She loved this room; she could really feel tranquilized in this room.
Shego smiled when she saw she had a bathroom connected to her room also. Finally she could have a shower without feeling like someone was watching her. She grabbed a fresh towel off the rack and stocked off to the bathroom. After stripping herself of her clothes, she stepped in the shower and turned the water to a scorching temperature. She scrubbed herself of the perspiration and sweat that was lingering on her body. Next, she grabbed the shampoo and conditioner bottles that were already in the shower and poured some in her palm to scrub it in her hair. She was lathering her hair for a few more minutes until she was sure it was everywhere, and then rinsed it all out.
When she was sure that she was one-hundred percent clean, she grabbed her towel and quickly dried herself off, leaving her skin a soft red-peach tone. After she was done getting dried off, she pulled out some pajamas that were left in a dresser. They were emerald green, just like her eyes. She slipped the bottom piece of the outfit on and lifted the shirt over her head and slipped that on also. Once she was done getting ready for her nap, she proceeded to lie down on her soft queen sized bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kim, Ron, Drakken, and Rufus were all stepping out of the jet that Wade had supplied for them. They had made it to Gerald Berkanshift's home. They had explained everything to Drakken on the way. Drakken didn't say much, although Kim could tell he was very confused by Shego's behavior. He just wanted her back. She wondered if there was anything going on between the two. She shuddered at the thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Berkanshift running towards them.
"Thank goodness you were able to make it Miss Possible." He said while taking her hand and shaking it.
"Nice to meet you Sir, but can you tell me what happened before we begin?" Kim asked while walking up to the front door.
"I contacted you as soon as I woke up. A woman, I'm guessing disguised as a cleaning lady, came by and said that she was called in to clean. I didn't call anyone. I asked her if she could make me a drink, then she pushed me in the living room and said sure. I think she put some kind of sleeping stuff in my drink because when I woke up she was gone. She left with the ring also." He finished and took a seat on his chair, and motioned for the others too take a seat.
"What did this woman act like?" Drakken asked.
"Well, when I opened the door I was surprised to see an attractive woman there, but as usual I didn't want any company so I asked her what she was doing here. She said she was called here to clean. When I told her I didn't call anyone, she got annoyed and said that she is not going to waste her time coming here and not clean. I tried to make her annoyed by making her get me drinks and stuff, but I guess that was a mistake. I should have asked her for a license." Gerald explained.
"Well, that sounds like Shego." Ron said.
"Yes, but you said that you made her do unnecessary stuff?" Drakken asked.
"Yes, I did." Gerald repeated.
"What are you getting at Drakken?" Kim asked curiously.
"Well, I know Shego and she would probably beat someone up if they tried to tell her what to do. So I am not so sure about Shego's behavior." Drakken said mostly to himself.
"This is odd. Have I told you guys that I caught her looking at surveillance cameras?" Kim added.
Drakken didn't say anything for a moment then added after some thought, "She wants us to find her. She's being forced to do this, but why? Who has the power to force her?"
"I don't know but if I don't get my ring back, I'm going to press major charges on that vixen!" Gerald yelled angrily.
"Calm down Mr. Berkanshift, we are trying our best to track her down. But unfortunately, she isn't leaving behind enough clues." Kim said soothingly.
"Well, then we should go back and see what we can do. We have to catch her before she is forced to do something bad." Ron said.
"Alright Mr. Berkanshift, it was nice meeting you, but we really need to make it out of here." Kim said shaking his hand again.
Once Mr. Berkanshift showed them out the door, they all headed back to the jet and headed straight back to Kim's place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shego woke up from her nap when her stomach started to growl. At least she could go down for dinner. She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and threw the sheets from her legs. She stood up and started to put on some black jeans and a green shirt with black swirls around it. Its funny how, she loved green and black, yet everything she owned was basically black and green, no other color. Does that make her obsessive? Once she was done brushing her soft raven hair from its tangles, a knock came on her door and then it opened revealing two of Aviarius's henchmen.
"Dinner's ready, do you want some?" They asked in a gruff voice.
"Sure" She simply said and followed them out of the room.
This was actually quite a nice lair, it seemed like he has lived here for years by the looks of the dust left upon the decorations. Everything was decorated from medieval times to ancient magician's materials'. The decorations were pretty much the same things all the way to the dinning room.
Shego made her way to the giant table and sat down. She didn't feel comfortable being here, she wished she could eat in her room. It would make her feel a whole lot comfortable. A young maid with short brown hair came in and set down some silver ware and a plate with some napkins to go with it. Shego guessed she was around Shego's age. Once her dinner was served, she quickly gobbled it up as fast as she could so she wouldn't bump in on Aviarius if he came down to eat. Then it happened, she felt a pang in her heart for her brother's. They were probably starving and cold and here she was treated with luxury and food. She set down her fork and called the guards who were standing guard in front of the entrance.
"Guards, can you tell me if my brothers are being fed enough?" Shego asked sweetly.
"We feed them ourselves; they get three meals a day. They get there normal healthy food so nothing to worry about madam." One of the guards answered.
Shego smiled; at least they were being fed. She finished the rest of her food and stood up to be led back to her room so she could go back to sleep. For some reason, she was exhausted.
Once she made it too her room, she again stripped down and got in her pajamas and jumped in her warm comfy bed and fell asleep in her dreams about being home again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kim, Ron, Drakken and Wade (through his computer) were all talking about what the situation was about and what they had to do about it. Shego was being forced to do something, and she wanted to be found. That part they were pretty sure of. What about the rings? What is she trying to do with those rings? Who has enough power to make her their slaves? Those were the questions that were the topic of the night.
It started to get late, so everyone headed out home. They were all to meet at Kim's house early in the morning to get a head start before Shego was awake to cause trouble.
"Good night you guys." Kim said before she closed the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drakken finally made it home. He took a cab. It started to rain so he had too. He depressingly walked through his house and to his room. He peeled of his wet clothes and put on some dry pajamas. He then walked to his bathroom and grabbed a towel of the rack so he could dry off his hair. He stopped what he was doing when his stomach started to growl. He hadn't eaten anything since he left with Kim and Ron.
He walked down stairs and looked for something to eat. He decided on canned soup. The weather agreed with his meal. He wasn't that hungry anyways, he just wanted his Shego back. He missed her terribly. Even her apple juice was looking lonely in the fridge without her here. Even the henchmen seemed sad. Sure Shego loved to pick on them, but they all liked her. If she talked to them, they all act like they've been kissed by an angel.
Shego was a vixen; she was off limits, so of course every male wanted her. Drakken often wondered how what life would be like is she decided not to become a villain. She's so young. She will turn twenty-one in about two months in June. He could remember perfectly how they had met. That perfect summer night when he brought her out of that horrible world she lived in.
######################### Six years ago ###########################
A younger looking Drew Lipsky was walking down the streets of downtown Middleton. He had been pretty depressed these last couple of months. He had dropped out of college, lost his girlfriend, and was a loser in the eyes of his peers. He really had no reason to live. No reason at all. So that's why he was wondering the streets at around midnight in Middleton.
He turned a corner and stopped when he noticed it was an alley. He used to never go down alleys, especially this late at night. But that was then, this is now. Nobody would care if he got mobbed or killed. He simply shrugged his shoulders and trudged down the alley and proceeded to his thoughts on how pathetic his life was.
Drew stopped when he heard a rustling noise. He turned around when he heard a click of a lighter being lit. What he saw shocked him. It was a young girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen, lighting a cigarette. She had long black hair with green streaks in it. She was wearing tight black jeans, a small green spaghetti strap shirt that reached below her chest. Her belly button was pierced and so was every inch of her ears. She was sitting on top of a dumpster.
"Well, are you going to sit there and stare at me or are you going to talk?" The girl said.
"Sorry, I was just wondering what a young girl like you would be outside this late at night, and smoking a cigarette also." Drew observed.
"I'm not at liberty to say." The girl snipped.
"I was just asking in case you were lost and stressing." Drew snapped back.
The girl sighed and scooted so she could make room for Drew to sit down also.
"I'm not lost" She took another puff, "you can sit down if you want." The girl said in a nicer tone.
"Oh ok," Drew said and jumped up on the dumpster next to her, "Then what are you doing out here?" He asked.
"I don't live anywhere; I was banned from my home in Chicago. I run away from all the homes that try and take me in. I get by though." She said and took another drag.
"That must be awful. Why were you banned from your home town?" He prodded.
"I'd rather not talk about it." She simply said.
"Ok.. so you sleep out here every night?" Drew asked trying to keep a conversation up.
"No, some men come by and pick me up. I even get paid if I give them something in return.." She said quietly and hatefully.
"That's horrible! You can't live like that!! You're not even old enough." Drew shouted and jumped off the dumpster.
"That's so sweet, but, sorry, some people have to get by. And I'm fifteen." She said quietly still.
"Why don't you come with me? I'll take care of you. I won't be like those other horny men. I promise." Drew said honestly.
The girl looked up surprised but caught her composure and said, "That's very nice of you, but I don't even know our name, and you don't know mine. What are you doing out here anyways?" The girl retorted.
"My name's Drew Lipsky. I'm out here because..." He sat back down next to her, "because I dropped out of college, my girlfriend dumped me, and all of my peers think I'm a loser. So I came out here to think and drink my pain away. What's the point of living if you're so pathetic? But, after I met you, my life doesn't seem so bad." Drew explained.
The girl seemed touched by his story. This was the first man she seemed to open up too, she liked him, and she could trust him.
"My name's Shego." She said as she took another drag.
"That's a pretty name." He said.
"Thanks, I guess it couldn't hurt if I go home with you. You promise you're not asking for anything?" She said curiously.
"I give you my word." He said while jumping off the dumpster and holding out his hand so Shego could grab it.
"Let's go then." She took his hand, jumped off, and smiled. She dropped her cigarette and stepped on it then followed Drew hand in hand. This was the beginning of a very special friendship.
*********************** End of Flashback ***************************
Drakken was finished with his memory. He would remember it forever. Shego had changed dramatically. She became a villain with him. She stopped her smoking, she never did like it, she just did it to warm her up and take some stress away. She knew most of her fighting from living in the streets and he had learned a few years ago that she was part of a team who fought crime. All of her piercing we're still in. She just never wore all of them when she was fighting, only some. Drakken loved her belly button one; she changed it frequently to match what she was wearing. He knew that was perverted, but it was a sign of his friendship with Shego, and it reminded him of how he met her. Plus she was an attractive woman, who wouldn't think her belly button was sexy.
He sat up and wiped a tear from his eye. He was in pain. He wanted to cry so badly, but he was a man. Men just don't do that, but this caused for it. Shego changed his life; she might have even saved it.
He trudged back upstairs and got in his bed so he can go back to his nightmares about what was happening to Shego while he slept.
*************************************
Ok this chapter might have some mistakes in it, like maybe Shego doesn't really know Drakken's real name until later, or how old Shego really is.

She will turn twenty-one in about two months in June. He could remember perfectly how they had met. That perfect summer night when he brought her out of that horrible world she lived in.
######################### Six years ago ###########################
A younger looking Drew Lipsky was walking down the streets of downtown Middleton. He had been pretty depressed these last couple of months. He had dropped out of college, lost his girlfriend, and was a loser in the eyes of his peers. He really had no reason to live. No reason at all. So that's why he was wondering the streets at around midnight in Middleton.
He turned a corner and stopped when he noticed it was an alley. He used to never go down alleys, especially this late at night. But that was then, this is now. Nobody would care if he got mobbed or killed. He simply shrugged his shoulders and trudged down the alley and proceeded to his thoughts on how pathetic his life was.
Drew stopped when he heard a rustling noise. He turned around when he heard a click of a lighter being lit. What he saw shocked him. It was a young girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen, lighting a cigarette. She had long black hair with green streaks in it. She was wearing tight black jeans, a small green spaghetti strap shirt that reached below her chest. Her belly button was pierced and so was every inch of her ears. She was sitting on top of a dumpster.
"Well, are you going to sit there and stare at me or are you going to talk?" The girl said.
"Sorry, I was just wondering what a young girl like you would be outside this late at night, and smoking a cigarette also." Drew observed.
"I'm not at liberty to say." The girl snipped.
"I was just asking in case you were lost and stressing." Drew snapped back.
The girl sighed and scooted so she could make room for Drew to sit down also.
"I'm not lost" She took another puff, "you can sit down if you want." The girl said in a nicer tone.
"Oh ok," Drew said and jumped up on the dumpster next to her, "Then what are you doing out here?" He asked.
"I don't live anywhere; I was banned from my home in Chicago. I run away from all the homes that try and take me in. I get by though." She said and took another drag.
"That must be awful. Why were you banned from your home town?" He prodded.
"I'd rather not talk about it." She simply said.
"Ok.. so you sleep out here every night?" Drew asked trying to keep a conversation up.
"No, some men come by and pick me up. I even get paid if I give them something in return.." She said quietly and hatefully.
"That's horrible! You can't live like that!! You're not even old enough." Drew shouted and jumped off the dumpster.
"That's so sweet, but, sorry, some people have to get by. And I'm fifteen." She said quietly still.
"Why don't you come with me? I'll take care of you. I won't be like those other horny men. I promise." Drew said honestly.
The girl looked up surprised but caught her composure and said, "That's very nice of you, but I don't even know our name, and you don't know mine. What are you doing out here anyways?" The girl retorted.
"My name's Drew Lipsky. I'm out here because..." He sat back down next to her, "because I dropped out of college, my girlfriend dumped me, and all of my peers think I'm a loser. So I came out here to think and drink my pain away. What's the point of living if you're so pathetic? But, after I met you, my life doesn't seem so bad." Drew explained.
The girl seemed touched by his story. This was the first man she seemed to open up too, she liked him, and she could trust him.
"My name's Shego." She said as she took another drag.
"That's a pretty name." He said.
"Thanks, I guess it couldn't hurt if I go home with you. You promise you're not asking for anything?" She said curiously.
"I give you my word." He said while jumping off the dumpster and holding out his hand so Shego could grab it.
"Let's go then." She took his hand, jumped off, and smiled. She dropped her cigarette and stepped on it then followed Drew hand in hand. This was the beginning of a very special friendship.
*********************** End of Flashback ***************************
Drakken was finished with his memory. He would remember it forever. Shego had changed dramatically. She became a villain with him. She stopped her smoking, she never did like it, she just did it to warm her up and take some stress away. She knew most of her fighting from living in the streets and he had learned a few years ago that she was part of a team who fought crime. All of her piercing we're still in. She just never wore all of them when she was fighting, only some. Drakken loved her belly button one; she changed it frequently to match what she was wearing. He knew that was perverted, but it was a sign of his friendship with Shego, and it reminded him of how he met her. Plus she was an attractive woman, who wouldn't think her belly button was sexy.
He sat up and wiped a tear from his eye. He was in pain. He wanted to cry so badly, but he was a man. Men just don't do that, but this caused for it. Shego changed his life; she might have even saved it.
He trudged back upstairs and got in his bed so he can go back to his nightmares about what was happening to Shego while he slept.

Ok this chapter might have some mistakes in it, like maybe Shego doesn't really know Drakken's real name until later, or how old Shego really is.
