"Shego!" Drakken growled. Shego's head was resting on Drakken's chest and she was breathing heavily. Drakken's eyes were wide and terrified. "What just happened?"
Shego herself wasn't too sure. Reluctantly she turned her head to look behind her. Her emerald eyes lit up when she saw the destruction in front of her. The beautiful memory which was once the Sunset Diner lay in pieces, still on fire. The fireman had only arrived a few minutes ago and had just started to extinguish the flames.
Shego's throat got tight and she threw her arms around Drakken again. She wanted to scream, yell, and pound on him, but all she could manage was, "Oh, oh, oh!" Drakken's face was as dismayed as his fiancés'. He let out a staggered, long, breathy sigh and stroked Shego's raven hair as she wept on him. Drakken then came to realization of something. . .
*Flashback*
Drakken: Do you think they're alright? They're taking awful long.
Shego: I don't know. I really don't.
*A scream is heard.*
Shego: That can't be good.
*A thunderous crack is heard*
Shego: Dr. D get out of the . . .
*End Flashback*
Drakken stared at his feet in disbelief. Shego had saved his life yet again. What would he do without her? Drakken bit his lip then kissed the top of her head. "I love you." The words were shaky and momentous. Shego looked up at him and kissed him hard and passionately on the lips. When their long kiss finally broke, Shego found her eyes focusing on Ron who was standing aloof.
"Ahem." Shego coughed directing Drakken's attention to Ron. Ron looked more than miserable right now as he watched the firefighters extinguish the roaring blaze. "Oh." Drakken said flatly. Shego took Drakken's hand and they both walked over to Ron.
"Ron?" Shego asked putting her arm around the shivering teen. "Oh h- hey." His voice was dull and lifeless. "They haven't found her." Ron broke the news quickly to them. Shego responded by holding Ron tightly and starting to cry herself. Drakken stared up at the dark gray sky, so cruel and greedy. The smog seemed to form the shape of his teen hero friend. Drakken kicked the soil angrily. Why did they have to lose so badly?
"Where's Scarlet?" Shego asked suddenly alarmed. "An ambulance took her to a hospital. She was burned pretty badly." Ron reported monotonously remembering seeing Scarlet taken away. She was screaming, "No! No! I'm FINE! I DON'T NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR! DON'T MAKE ME GO!!!" Ron remembered her clinging to a tree screaming at the paramedics. They probably assigned her solitary confinement. Something. The thought was slightly humorous. But it wasn't even enough to lift his mood a notch. Kim was dead. His Kim. She could do anything, anything but save herself.
Shego was relieved that Scarlet had gotten the attention she needed. Drakken and Shego found their place in comforting Ron through his tragic loss. "She died bravely." Shego said softly as she stroked Ron's back. It was such a shame to see the kindest person she had come to know, in the state he was in. But it was more than understandable.
"Madam?" A young lad clumsily stumped over to them. He was dressed in some old jeans and a collared shirt that read 'Middleton Fire' on it. Shego assumed that he was a volunteer worker. Shego smiled weakly at the boy. "Yes, what is it?" The boy took a moment to catch his breath and wipe the sweat from his brow.
"We think we've found something. We'd like you're help please." The boy said pointing down to the dead diner. The threesome shrugged and followed the boy back over to the haunting territory. Shego did not realize they would be moving the rubbish so soon. She wondered what they needed anyway.
A tall plump fireman shook Shego's hand firmly. "Hello. I'm sorry about what happened. Anyway, we need one of you to look down that hole, see if you see anything. I would check but my eyes aren't that good." The man said cleaning off his goggles. Shego nodded immediately. "Sure, of course."
The fireman handed Shego a very small and powerful flashlight. When Shego turned it on it almost blinded her. "Woah." She said shaking her head. Too much light. Ron grabbed it out of Shego's hand and peered down there. Shego didn't yell at him. She crossed her arms and peered down with him.
There wasn't much to see but floor. Ron arched his back slightly and kept moving along the hole until . . .
"It's Junior!" Ron cried immediately trying to lift the brick. They could at least get the corpses so they could be given a proper burial.
Ron's face was flushed. The brick. It was too heavy. "Allow me." Shego said. This was her field. She lifted up the heavy stone with hardly any trouble at all.
It was easy to tell it was Junior. A big bulky tan body. Long dead. Ron decided when he felt Junior's ice cold hand. But wait. There was some auburn underneath. Could it be?" Ron pushed Junior's corpse aside and revealed his goddess. He evergreen eyes were peacefully closed. Her skin still was as pure and milky warm as it was when she was alive. Ron suddenly had a brain surge. Warm? How could her skin still be warm . . .
Kim answered this for him. He eyelashes suddenly fluttered open and she began to breath again. When her eyes were focused, she saw her golden haired friend watching over him. He was her guardian angel.
"But how?" Ron asked stroking her beautiful face lovingly. Kim smiled and touched the necklace that hung elegantly around her beautiful neck.
