Drakken and Shego were talking just below the sound of the flowing water from the sink. Drakken had turned on the faucet to make sure Dementor didn't suspect anything, if he was even paying attention. What they didn't know, was there were more spies than Dementor out there. As they gossiped and discussed things, Scarlet's perfect fingers were tightly clutching a pillow with her ear pressed against the vent in her bedroom, over hearing every breath they made.
Drakken was pacing the room slowly; each turn he made was more discouraged. Shego kissed the back of his neck tenderly; it felt like the breath of an angel; Cool, and refreshing. Drakken stopped pacing and swung his arm around her. He really did adore her. "Your beginning to sweat a little, maybe we should get to bed." Shego advised smiling sweetly at him. "We aren't done discussing the issue at hand!" Drakken snapped, and Shego looked staggered. Drakken led Shego over to the bathtub where the two relaxed, Drakken started cuddling Shego. Shego still felt uptight and nervous for Scarlet. "Drakken, I think she's hiding something from us," Shego's voice was filled with concern and she began to weep silently, "She just looked so upset," Shego's voice was trembling, "I mean, whenever I'm given something I'm able to make sense to it, I can't do that for this . . . I can't . . ." Shego said wiping her eyes wondering what poor little Scarlet was doing right now. Drakken hugged her a little closer. "It was a shock, I'll admit I'm not sure what's going on either. But please don't cry. Anything but that." Drakken pleaded her. He hated watching girls cry. The only ones who still looked pretty were the ones in the Hollywood movies. Shego just sobbed more. "You witnessed it, I did too, but there's no rational explanation." "Look at me." Drakken said seriously, and Shego obediently did so. Drakken pulled her face with his index fingers and guided it to his lips and gave her a long passionate kiss. Drakken never even considered going any further with Shego, there was no need. Everything was too perfect, Shego truly belonged to him.
Drakken broke the kiss very slowly and they both paused inches away from the lips. "Shego," He whispered gently while stroking her hair, "Friendship, Love, People, Childbirth, Life, This planet, the entire universe. Can you really explain any of that for sure?" Drakken questioned her, Shego's eyes widened a bit. "Well," She hesitated breaking her eye contact for a second, "I can explain . . . some of it." Drakken shook his head and tried again to make her understand. "Can you really wholly explain that beautiful thing called life? Or just when one life is being created? What about the whole universe itself?" Shego tilted her head and shook it slowly. "No I can't." "And why is that?" Drakken enjoyed giving advice, it made him feel more intellectual. Shego bit her lip considerately, "No one knows." Shego didn't get where this dialogue was going. "Do you think we'll ever find out?" Shego laid her head against his shoulder again as she felt Drakken's fingers running through her shiny midnight-black curls. "Maybe," Shego guessed, "There might just be a time for everything." Drakken kissed her check again, and Shego's mind clicked. "Drakken I get it!" She squealed kissing him lightly in glee. 'I LOVE it when she gets it.' Drakken thought. "These things with no explanation maybe weren't meant to be found out; maybe they're meant to be sort of miraculous. After all, the world would have no mystery if everything has a reason." Shego finished proud of her answer.
Drakken grinned and looked into Shego's sparkling emerald eyes that were no longer crying. Drakken never felt quite whole unless Shego's happy smile was gracing him. And now it was again. Then he said quietly, "Well then Miss Shego, I believe we have both witnessed a miracle." Shego looked positively delighted by his answer; she replied cheerfully, "I believe we have."
Shego guided her own lips this time. Drakken knew this night would be one of those nights he'd remember years from now. It was one of those special conversations. It was brief but just wonderful in its own way. And the memory would play back for an eternity. Now he was just going to let his lips do the talking. Needless to say, Drakken wasn't planning on moving from this tub until that running faucet overflowed.
Scarlet-Rose slowly moved her away from the vent, knowing the conversation was over for the night. Scarlet clutched the necklace tightly. "It won't be long till they find out."
