CHAPTER 12
__________
Their journey was put on hold when it came time to decide which path to take.
Drakken wanted to walk up into the thick brush and trees to travel, but Shego insisted that they travel near the water's edge, so they would not get lost.
In the end, the one with the very persuasive Go Team Glow, won the fight.
As the two started walking steadily along the edge of the ocean, Drakken rubbed his sore arm. Shego had scraped him with her glowing fire-like claws, and it had hurt!
He started feeling sorry for himself. It was something that always made him feel better.
Jeez, he thought. Shego did have some nasty mood swings. Her heath was completely better now, and Drakken was starting to wonder if there was something else that was making Shego so unpredictable, and sometimes just downright grumpy, that he didn't know about...

An hour later, the sun was still strong, and they were still on the trail. Nothing had changed. The beach was still, the sky was calm and breezy, and the ocean a deep salty blue.
Shego was so thirsty. She was dying for something to drink. Anything.
And then, as if someone was answering her prayers, she saw water, trickling through the leaves, in the distance. It could mean only one thing- a stream. Fresh water!
Shego grabbed Drakken suddenly by the hand and ran in the direction of the water. They followed the small trickling stream for a few minutes then stopped right in their tracks. Shocked at what they now saw.
A beautiful little rainbow pool of fresh water sparkled in the sunlight in front of their eyes.
It was the most beautiful thing Shego had ever seen, and she jumped in, without thinking.
"Shego!" Drakken yelled for her as she went under, "Shego! I'm coming in to get you, don't worry!"
Drakken jumped in, and was surprised to feel his feet hit the bottom, when his head was still way above the water.
Shego was standing behind him. "It's only four feet deep silly!" She giggled, splashing water at Drakken. "What, did you think I was going to drown or something?"
Drakken blushed. He was so embarrassed. Love does blind you, he thought. He loved Shego so much, he was willing to risk his life for her. He knew he had to tell her, he wanted to...yet he couldn't.
He looked up. Shego was standing under the small waterfall that was splashing slowly over the rocks at the top of the pool of water. She was motioning for him to join her...
_____
For the rest of the day, Drakken and Shego stayed in that pool of water. They drank, they swam, they sat under the waterfall, they did everything- together.
When the sun was setting, they both climbed out of the water, and flopped down in the tangled brush that surrounded the pool. Their clothes were soaking wet. And they were exhausted. But they were happy, and they had had fun.
