Chapter 31 – Staying small
"Hello? Earth to Drakken!" Shego's voice called from the entrance of the hole as his eyes were fixed on something that was scaring him. His face was pale and his mouth was hanging open a little bit. Focusing the light on what he had found, he reached out his small hand and ran his little fingers over the wall.
"What are you doing?! Come out, you're starting to scare me!" Shego winded as she started to craw in herself but she got stuck. What Dr.Drakken had found was a special unknown writing on the wall, 'What is this?' He thought as he traced it with his fingers. 'Wait... I know where I have seen this before!' Drakken thought quickly turning around, "Shego throw me the scroll, I think I found something!" He said anxiously as she rolled it down the ruff floor to him.
Then opening the scroll quickly and keeping the flash light's light steady he scanned it with his beady eyes. "I-I think I have found something!" He said in an excited voice. "Which would be?" Shego asked crawling out of the vent. "We might need to cut this piece of wall out." He said looking at it once more and then realizing that the words on the wall were the same from the little scroll he held in his hands but the words on the wall were in much smaller font.
Crawling back out he looked up at Shego who was laughing when she saw him. "What's so funny?" He asked narrowing his eyebrows because he didn't liked to be laughed at. "Go to the mirror and look at your self," Shego said walking him to the bathroom. Helping him stand on the marble sink, making sure that he didn't slip he looked and saw his reflection.
Drakken's black wavy hair was now dirty and gray. He had dust all over his face and his knees were cut up. No longer was his skin white pale, it was the color of an old man's hair... the gray kind. Drakken started to laugh to but winced when Shego put him down because his knees were badly cut. "Here let me get a band-aid," Shego said as she sat him on a chair and went back into the bathroom to get some medication.
'Maybe I should have never found that scroll, what if it was not meant to brought from its darkness...what if I disrupted with History?' He thought with his mind pounding fiercely in his heart as well. "Are you alright?" Shego then asked getting on her knee's with a dark brown bottle in one hand and band-aids in the other. Drakken had his little head down with his head hanging over his eyes as if he was getting beat and crying at the same time. "Yeah... do you think I was meant to find that scroll?" Drakken asked pulling his head up and rubbing his neck. Shego then let out a deep breath, "I guess so, why? Oh and what did you find back there?" She asked. "Well when I was back their, I found the same writing's on that scroll on the back of the wall." "What? How could that be possible?" She asked. "I don't know, something is wrong, I can feel it... I don't think we found out the whole history behind this house, and what we heard I think was totally wrong." Drakken said in a worried voice.
There was a little silence for a moment or to until Shego looked down and opened the brown bottle. Dabbing some of it on his cut up legs he growled at her in pain. "Well you know its going to hurt." She said closing the bottle and putting on some band-aids. "If you want me to, I can go do some research on these writing's and on the history of this lair but first I think it would be much better if I talk to my brothers tomorrow... you're coming aren't you?" Shego asked. "Yeah, well if you want me to?" "Yes I do," Shego said laughing slightly and walking out of his office. "Oh and Drakken... change back to your normal self because I don't know if you want you're mother to find you like this." She then said walking out of the room.
Drakken jumped of the chair and dusted the dust off of his shirt and then pushed the bookcase back with all of his little might. The sun was starting to set and he was getting hungry for dinner, plus tomorrow would be a big day for both of them, since they were going a little into the city to see Shego's brothers. "I'll be in the lab if you need me!" Drakken then called from the hall to Shego as he entered his cold lab. Running over to the fridgerator and quickly opened the door. Smiling and reaching his hand in, his mouth dropped open completely as he realized that the formula to change him back was totally gone. "WHERE DID IT GO!?" He almost screamed as he looked to his left and was shocked. There were 3 glass beakers that were broken and on the floor and had little doggy prints all around them. "Puddles!" He growled through his teeth. "I'm going to kill you when I get my little hands on you!" He almost screamed and ran out of the room to go tell Shego.
Abby on the other hand was upstairs and was getting ready for dinner. She decided to wear a dark blue dress and fix her brown hair. Staring into the mirror she missed Greg. 'If only you were hear to see your son Greg... he misses you so much.' Abby thought to herself as a small tears welled up in her eyes. Then going to sit on her bed she opened up a little photo album she had in her purse and pulled out the last picture she had of Greg. He was only in his early thirties when he died. In the picture Greg was holding Drew in his arms. They were out side of their house and they were both laughing cause they both came home from fishing and Drew had the bigger fish and Greg had a minnow on his hook. Greg never meant to be mean to Abby, but when he did it, it was on purpose or because he wad drunk.
Putting away the picture Abby's heart started to hurt. Putting her hand on her chest she prayed that she would be alright. She didn't even have such a busy day; she just spent some time with Shego and arranged her things. A calling voice called down on the first for and it was for her. "Mrs. Lipsky, would you like to come down for dinner?" Shego asked. "Oh yes dear, here I come." She then said as she put her things away and went down stairs, and little did she know that her son's body had gone back in time but his soul was still the same...
"Shego, help meeeeee!" Drakken screamed in a little high pitch girly scream as he flew into the kitchen panicking. "Drakken what is...? I thought I told you to turn back into your normal self!" Shego said tapping one foot. "That's the problem, Commodore Puddles got into the fridge. In my lab and broke the last vial's of the potion that can change me back!" He said in a pleading voice.
Shego's scowl then dropped and her face was droopy. "He did what?!" She almost screamed. "Yeah, I know... I'm going to kill the little pooch when I see him next!" Drakken said rolling his eyes sarcastically. Just then Shego had thought of something, Abby was coming down for dinner and she wasn't supposed to see Drakken like this! He was supposed to be back in his normal, adult like body!
"What about your mother?" Shego then said quickly hearing her walk down the stairs. "Oh my gosh your right... hide me!" He then said nervously. Taking Drakken under the arms like a baby, she hurried over out of the kitchen just as Abby entered looking around to see where everyone went, "Where are you taking me?" He whispered afraid of what she was going to do to him. "You are going into the closet... if that's ok?" She asked. "But I'm hungry!" He whined starting to kick. "You kick me and you hurt me, then you hurt our baby!" Shego said glaring at him. "Oh, eh right... hide me!" Drakken said screaming as he saw Abby's shadow come out of the kitchen.
"Where is everyone?" She asked herself as she looked around not seeing anyone. Setting Drakken down she left the door cracked and Drakken sat alone. He didn't like this but he would revel himself sooner or later. Turning around Shego walked back into the kitchen nervously. "Oh hello Abby... why don't you have some dinner?" Shego asked leaving little Drakken all alone in the closet...
"Hello? Earth to Drakken!" Shego's voice called from the entrance of the hole as his eyes were fixed on something that was scaring him. His face was pale and his mouth was hanging open a little bit.
