Disclaimer: Shego, Drakken, nor their ancestors are my possessions.
Shego drove them home. Drakken's ranting was a dull roar behind her thoughts; white noise.
The one time I want to do something, it winds up being more than I bargined for. Shego thought. Why didn't I listen to Drakken... Then maybe I wouldn't hafta marry him.
Shego gasped. Marry Drakken? That just then clicked in her head. How could she? Why would she? They were just friends. Or so she had always thought.
Engaged since before birth... Those words echoed in her mind. Her life had never been her choice, ever.
:Flashback:
"Shego why can't you be more like your brothers!" Mr. Go had snapped.
Shego blinked back the tears.
"Because, I'm a girl. Because I don't want to be like them," she spat back.
"you could try harder, ya know," he told her.
Shego had not wanted to play baseball. Nor did she want to take ballet. Both activities were forced upon her at a young age.
:New Flashback:
"Quit worrying about your hair! Even Mego doesn't spend that much time getting ready!" Mr. Go yelled at his fourteen year old daughter.
"Mego's a guy, and a disgusting one at that. He's got class pictures today too, and he's wearing the same greasy t-shirt and holed jeans that he's worn all week," Shego pointed out.
"I think you look nice," Hego said quietly from across the table.
Shego smiled at her brother. He was the only one in this family that cared about her.
"Remember, Shego. You have ballet, cheerleading, track, and gymnastics tonight," Mr. Go cut in.
Shego groaned.
"Dad... I was thinking about joining Kung-fu. We studied it in gym class and I'm real good..."
"No daughter of mine will take part in such a difficult activity!" Mr. Go'd snapped.
"Why is it that you push for me to be one of the boys, and then sign me up for pointe? My toes'll break," she pointed out.
"Exactly why you're not trying out for Kung-Fu!"
"I'm better than the boys at school. You won't let me do anything!" Shego snapped.
Mr. Go looked surprised by her outburst.
"I'll be home around seven, if I decide to come home," she told him as she hopped onto the school bus.
:New Flashback:
16 year old Shego, alongside all four brothers was kicking Aviarius' butt... again. The guy never learned.
Shego casually glanced at Aviarius' bird clock. It was six in the evening! She had to go to kung-fu practice... but how? She'd been taking it in secret for two years and had already excelled to black-belt. She was now teaching the younger, less expierienced classes.
Shego sighed and jumped out a nearby window and free-fell for about 20 feet. She landed safely in a soft patch of dirt. She picked herself up and left.
:Flashbacks End:
Shego had begun crying.
"What you don't like the name Drakken Junior? We could always call him DJ. What about DJ?" Drakken asked.
Shego stared at him angrily. He was already naming their kids that they weren't going to have. She wasn't ready for comitment. She'd never liked the idea of marriage. She had always, jokingly, said stuff about joining a convent. Now it was too late for that. She was engaged, whether she liked it or not.
A/N: Shego'll warm up to Drakken, but being the female houdini she is, she'll find a way to do whatever... her way.
