Shego pushed Drakken away hastily. That was unexpected; she hadn't even heard Scarlet enter! "Hey Scarlet! What's up?" Drakken sighed and looked a little saddened. Scarlet wandered in the room, "Bad timing right?" Drakken nodded, "The worst." Shego glared at him, "Drakken don't be rude!" Shego beamed. "I actually, wanted just to go in the BATHROOM, to open this package because I left the SCISSORS in there when we trimmed your hair, Shego." Shego couldn't believe it, Scarlet-Rose interrupted their personal time, although they did have plenty. "So, I'm going to go open, this package . . . now. . . in the lavatory." Shego suddenly knew she was needed. Shego let go of Drakken's hands slowly with disappointment. "You know what? I need to fix my, uh, make-up soooo I'll meet you down in the lab later." Drakken sighed and said playfully, "Well I'll be waiting. . ." Shego laughed and winked at him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"What's the big deal? It's a freaking package!" Shego was obviously not in a good mood. "Well, it's from, my brother." Scarlet told her as she fingered the box nervously. "I thought you didn't have a family?" "I have an older brother, but he hates me." Scarlet scratched her blonde hair, it didn't make sense. Scarlet hadn't spoken to him since she was about seven years old. "Why would he be sending you a package?" Scarlet whimpered softly, "That's what I'm trying to figure out, it's totally suspicious!"

Shego took her laptop out from the bathroom cabinet. They had kept laptop in the bathroom so Dementor couldn't see her conversations with Kim. Also the laptop wasn't connected to any villains so it was safe and secret. "I think we need Kim in on this." Shego suggested as she made her way over to the bathtub. Shego sat down in it and began typing on it, when she got the main screen Shego logged into her instant messaging program. . .

Connecting. . .

Logging you in as DarkAngel 14 . . .

"Perfect! She's online!" Shego exclaimed gladly, that was fortunate.

DarkAngel 14: Hey!

TeenHeroKP: Hey Shego! What's up?

DarkAngel 14: We've got a problem over here.

TeenHeroKP: Uh oh, what's wrong?

DarkAngel 14: Well, Scarlet got a mysterious package in the mail. . .

TeenHeroKP: Is it. . . TICKING?

Shego told Scarlet-Rose to check and make sure the box wasn't ticking. Scarlet uneasily poked the box then listened to it and shook her head. No luck there.

DarkAngel 14: No, its not.

TeenHeroKP: Hmmm. . . is there a return address?

DarkAngel 14: It's from Scarlet's brother.

TeenHeroKP: What's his name?

"What is your brother's name?" Shego asked, looking at her. "It's Leon." Scarlet said pronouncing the name with a little hint of rage. "Chill, what's his last name?" "He's married, I think it's Tubble." "T- Tubble?" Shego stuttered muffling her laughs with her sleeve, "Its okay, I think it's a weird last name too."

DarkAngel 14: His name is Leon Hubble.

TeenHeroKP: K. I'm sending it over to Wade.

DarkAngel 14: Cool

TeenHeroKP: He's running a search now, so what's the deal with it being so suspicious?

DarkAngel 14: They hate each other

TeenHeroKP: Oh. . .

TeenHeroKP: Wade has the results!

Shego grinned at Scarlet who laughed back nervously.

TeenHeroKP: Okay, he's married to Annemarie Hubble.

DarkAngel 14: Didn't know, didn't care, something more important please!

TeenHeroKP: Sheesh! Ok! He doesn't have any criminal records and he's living in Osaka, Japan currently.

DarkAngel 14: Hold on.

TeenHeroKP: KK.

"The package should be safe, he doesn't have any criminal records." Scarlet tugged her hair thoughtfully, "How does he know where I am?" She said suddenly. "He probably didn't even know I was a pop star!" Shego didn't know, "Should I ask?" Scarlet nodded pushing the package further away from her.

DarkAngel 14: Back, and with another problem

TeenHeroKP: Shoot

DarkAngel 14: How would Leon know where Scarlet-Rose was located?

TeenHeroKP: Beats me. Why not just open it, I'm sure of all people you'll survive what ever it is.

DarkAngel 14: LMAO

TeenHeroKP: I have cheerleading practice now, Later!

TeenHeroKP has signed off

Shego pulled a pocket knife out of her back pocket. She always kept it for protection. "Okay, let's do it." Scarlet screamed, "What?! You don't mean to open it?" Shego made her way out of the bathtub with the laptop. "I do, let's take a little risk." Shego laughed making her way over to the box. "I mean, who could be afraid of a box this puny?" Shego ran the knife along the tape. "Will you do the honors?" Shego asked teasingly, she nodded lifting the lid.

It was an old silver chain with some ugly royal blue beads stringed around it. Scarlet looked at it disgusted. "What. is it?" "Looks like a necklace." Shego said shuttering at the revolting fashion piece. Shego tried to think of something to say but instead she pointed to the paper in the box. Scarlet without any exhilaration unfolded the note. She read it aloud to Shego.

Dear Baby Sister,

Happy eighteenth birthday! I'm proud of you. Sorry I've been out of contact lately. Anyway,

Scarlet Rose eyed the sentence and read the rest to herself. Scarlet held the note to her heat and she began to cry instantly. Shego hugged her and patted her head, "It's okay." Shego comforted her although she didn't know what was wrong. Scarlet just mumbled something about the world becoming clear again.
