Chapter 8: Hidden Feelings

As the sun began to set, the villains and Rose headed back to the house. They were tired from earlier's battle/hostage, they decided to go straight to bed.

Drakken knew that his room was on the third floor, but he had no idea how to get there.

Shego sighed. "All right, I'll take you up there." She was about to go into her own room when Drakken asked if she knew where his room was.

Rose poked her head out her bedroom door, she saw the villains leaving. "Shego, where you going? You room is on this floor."

"Yeah, I know." Shego nodded. "But Drakken doesn't know where his room is."

Rose laughed, she turned to Drakken. "Why didn't you ask me? I know where it is. You go like you're going toward the basement, but there's a staircase leading to the third floor... your room is the first door on the left."

"Thank you, I'll see you girls in the morning then." Drakken walked off, back toward the main staircase and out of sight.

Shego was impressed, she didn't hear Drakken complain or argue back, and she wasn't needed for assistance. "Saves me more time. Well, goodnight." She opened the door and walked inside.

"Hey Shego, did you have fun today?" Rose asked, before she shut her door.

"Yeah, it wasn't that bad. I never thought I'd see Drakken's carefree fun-side. He's always so into this world domination and using machinery that fails unsuccessfully. It's like he's changed. I kinda like it."

"That's nice," Rose smiled. "So what else you like about Drakken that I don't know?"

Shego blushed slightly, a first that she had ever done such a thing. "Well... he may have dumb ideas for world domination and stop Kim Possible from interfering, but I know he cares about me. I think he does since he's not infatuated with that DNAmy woman anymore. Okay, so he's a weak minded fool, and he's not even that cute, but he's always been there for me through the hardest and toughest times. He's my best friend, almost like family."

"Like family?" Rose raised her eyebrow suspiciously. "Oh, there's got to be some feelings within this. Do you love him?"

"Are you kidding?" Shego exclaimed, her face was now a flaming red and not that white. "I meant he's like a brother to me! There are no feelings what-so-ever that I have for Drakken outside of friendship."

Rose stared at the raven-haired woman doubtfully. "Why do I think you're lying?"

Shego narrowed her eyes, frowning. "I don't lie, and I told you there's nothing between Drakken and I. Now get some sleep."

"Okay, good night," Rose closed her door, then she heard Shego close her door. Rose smirked with a brilliant idea in mind. "We'll see who's lying by the end of this month. Mark my word, I will get them together."

And yet down the long corridor toward the entrance door from the balcony, Drakken stood there sinking in the conversation he just heard into his head. Shego liked him more than a best friend, at least that's what he thought. Luckily he didn't hear Rose scheme to match them up, leaving to his room for a good nights' rest.
