There was a slight rumble and the lair shook slightly. The droplets of rain were hitting the lair hard, but it was barely audible. Everyone once in a while, a bright flash would shine through the closed blinds.

Drakken was long awake and quite restless. It was around midnight and the house was asleep except for himself and the cameras. It seemed like women could sleep through anything. Scarlet wore earplugs and Shego just slept like a rock. God she was gorgeous. Even though the darkness was cast up against her face, making it very difficult to see, Drakken still could visualize her dolce face. For the past hour Drakken had observed her sleeping habits. Every once and a while, Shego would mumble something weird in her sleep and Drakken would chuckle silently to himself.

Another clash of thunder. The rain was getting heavier and the time was drawing near. But there was another moment which was just oh too far away. The moment his darling awoke and wiped the sand from her emerald eyes. Then she would roll out of bed and primp herself in the full-length mirror, although she didn't need to. Then she'd carefully remove each curler and let each curl fall just above her shoulders and lightly brush it out with her thin boney fingers. Whenever just one of those glossy raven hairs touched him, it tickled splendidly. Each morning, it was more extraordinary. "I love you." He whispered into her ear touching her silky skin with tremendous pleasure.

Another clash of thunder, this time it shook some droplets out of Drakken's goblet. It was time. Since the lair was mobile and hovered in the atmosphere sometimes it became rather hazardous to let it undergo a tempest in the sky. Drakken hopped out of bed and made his way over to the control room with much unintended racket. But no one woke from their serene dreams.

Drakken opened a book, looking at a colorful map. Soon he found an empty spot on the ground. He glanced at the location and then typed it into the console, he'd let the auto-pilot do the rest.

There was another collide of thunder, which knocked Drakken off his feet and onto the floor. Before Drakken got to his feet his eyes alerted to the fuse box and he got an idea. Drakken's body stayed put but his eyes wandered the room. He wasn't in camera range. Drakken opened the box and quickly turned all the power off. All the cameras were lifeless now. Finally, a man had his home back. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Notes: Hey all! Sorry the updates have been brief lately!
