CHAPTER 7
Shego's eyes wandered sadly over the many couples dancing and enjoying themselves.
She had had an OK time in the hot tub, but now that the hot tubing session was over, she was stuck at the the table again forced to listen to romantic music and watch Drakken scribble away at some paper drawing stick figures of Kim Possible then writing down ways to blow her into a thousand tiny pieces.
She looked away, NOT amused.
They sat in silence for a long time, Shego's sadness turning into annoyance as she listened to Drakken's pencil scratching away at the paper. It seemed even louder than the music.
At last the scratching noise stopped and Drakken burst out in pride.
"Shego, look at this! I have the coolest most awesome hippest plan ever! You see we have to-"
Shego grabbed Drakken's hands and crumpled up the paper.
"Number one, speak English PLEASE." Shego said no louder than a whisper. "And two we are on vacation. How many times have I said this!?"
She stopped, realizing she still had a firm grasp on both of Drakken's hands. In embarrassment she crossed her arms and gritted her teeth pretending to be angry. But she wasn't. All she wanted to do right now was forget about being a villain for just one week, be a normal person and have fun.
She glanced at Drakken again. He looked hurt.
Shego gulped. What was this terribly confused feeling she was having? Was it guilt? She had always been a little mean to Drakken in the past, though as far as she knew it had never hurt his feelings before. Shego's eyes grew wide. Could it be that Drakken LIKED her? In the past month Shego had thought it seemed like Drakken was trying to impress her but of course it had never worked.
Shego reached down under the table and retrieved Drakken's crumpled up paper. Carefully, without letting him see, Shego opened it and creased out the wrinkles.
The picture was of Kim and Shego fighting and next to that there was a diagram of where a hidden bomb would be to blow Kim Possible up. Yet that was not what Shego was staring at. She was looking at something drawn underneath the picture of her. It was a heart.
Suddenly, Shego felt angry again. Cold, black, anger filled her heart. She was just Drakken's flunky. His sidekick. Surely if Drakken felt anything for her it would just be because of her looks.
Just like Junior, Shego thought unhappily, standing up and making her way through the crowds of people on the deck of the ship. She stopped when she came to a quiet spot in the corner of the deck and leaned up against the railing.
The sun was now starting to set.
"It's so romantic here." Shego muttered to herself, "It just doesn't seem right."
All of a sudden Shego felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around quickly, only to find that Drakken had followed her.
What does he want with me now? Shego thought as a hard breeze suddenly blew past, making Shego shiver.
Seeing Shego shiver made a light bulb go off in Drakken's head. He remembered when he was very little and he parents had taken him to the beach to collect rocks for his rock collection. He remembered how it had gotten very breezy that evening and Drakken's Dad had taken off his coat and wrapped it around Drakken's Mom to keep her warm.
Drakken quickly undid his jacket and put it around Shego.
"Is that better?" He asked in his most polite voice smiling at Shego.
"OK, Doctor D, what do you want?" Asked Shego in bewilderment. Drakken had never treated her like this ever, and she knew he must be after something.
"Nothing," Drakken replied timidly, afraid Shego might light up her claws and swipe him. "I was just wondering, I mean, you walked off and all so I thought maybe you were looking to see if someone wanted to dance and-" Drakken paused, getting all nervous again.
"And what?"
"And...If you ever want to dance with me, I'm open."
Shego's face softened a bit. Junior had never asked her to dance maybe this was a sign Drakken truly cared for her. But...would that be good? Shego didn't know. Right now, she just wanted to be alone.
"Shego?"
"No, I don't want to dance. Not right now."
"Oh come on Shego! I've never danced with anyone before. Except the bebes that is. OK, I'm sorry I've been annoying you lately and I know you've had a hard time with your boyfriend and all, but don't you think we could have just a little fun?"
"Okay..." Shego began, not getting a chance to finish, because before she knew it she was up on the dance floor dancing away.
By the end of the song Shego actually had a smile on her face. She had to admit Drakken wasn't a bad dancer. Now a slow calm song started to play. Shego looked around for Drakken, but he seemed to of vanished. Shego found him sitting back at the table.
"What's wrong?"
"Eh, nothing." Drakken replied, blushing. "I'm just no good at slow dancing."
"Stop being such a baby." Shego teased, pulling Drakken up. "I'll show you how."
Shego took off Drakken's coat and put it on the chair so she could move better.
"First you have to put your hands on my waist, like this."
She placed Drakken's hands where they were supposed to go, then she looped her own arms around Drakken's neck.
"Now," Shego continued, "Just move slowly with the music and relax."
After a few more minutes of dancing, Shego's anger was completely gone. She closed her eyes and rested her head against Drakken's Chest as she danced.
