Chapter 14: Villain Convention

Another week had passed by and Rose was counting down the days until the start of the Pokemon Trainer Convention in Maestro City (1). She didn't know how long her captivity of world domination would never happen for Drakken.

"Come on, please?" Rose begged and asked politely.

It was Saturday evening and there was really nothing to do so Rose joined Drakken and Shego in the living room to watch the Disney movie Finding Nemo.

"I told you I'm not shortening your captivity!" Drakken told her, agitated that he was missing the movie. "I've made my decision already."

"How come after the wedding?" Rose exclaimed. "Both Pokemon Masters are incharge of the Pokemon Trainer Convention! I have to be there by May 1st!"

Shego rolled her eyes as she watched them fight, she stopped the movie.

"HEY!" Rose and Drakken yelled in unison. "WE WERE WATCHING THAT!"

"Doesn't seem like it to me." Shego smirked, holding the remote. "Now I'll turn the movie back on after you two stop yelling."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Rose apologized. "I just wanted to know how much longer I'm here."

"Until the end of the month should be fine." Shego said, sitting back down on the couch. "If you have to attend the Trainer Convention, you'll know how disappointed your mother will be without your attendance at the wedding."

Rose sighed, knowing better not to disobey. "Mother would never forgive me after that."

Shego nodded. "Exactly, and you're a bridesmaid so you have to be there."

"Who's your maid-of-honor, Shego?" Rose asked, curious in wonder.

"Well, scratch what I said about you being bridesmaid. I know you're in the wedding though."

"But Shego, you just said..." Rose was confused.

"You're in the wedding. I'm not telling you anything more, Rosalind. End of discussion."

After the movie, they headed up to their bedrooms to sleep. Rose and Shego walked up the main staircase to the second floor while Drakken went toward the direction of the third floor that led the same way toward the laboratory.

"Make sure you pack your backpack tomorrow morning." Shego said, opening her bedroom door.

Rose was just about to close her door when she stopped and peeked her head out. "For what? Where are we going, Shego?"

"Villain Convention, and you have no choice on not coming, Drakken's rule."

"Convention?" Rose repeated, her eyes widened in shock. "For villains? There's more villains other than you and Drakken?"

Shego rolled her eyes. "I know we haven't disguised this, but Drakken received a letter two days ago that he and I have to attend."

"What about me?" Rose asked, hoping that she could stay with her mother and siblings.

"You're still under prisonment, it's not my decision that you don't have to go." Shego told her, from the sidekick point of view.

Rose nodded, upset. "Okay, I'll pack my stuff."

Shego frowned, she kinda felt bad. "You know, I could convince Drakken not to let you go, but its too late now. Heck, if we knew sooner, you'd probably have a better shot at convincing him."

Rose narrowed her eyes, annoyed over the idea. 'Yeah, leave it to me to convince an engaged man not to let me go to a convention with other villains.'

"Nah, I wouldn't succeed that well."

Shego shrugged. "All right then, good night."
