Chapter 13

Wade set up a flight for Kim and Ron to get to Paris. Shortly after the plane left the ground, they both fell asleep in their seats, completely exhausted. It would be a long 11 hour flight, before they'd be in Paris.

Meanwhile, Shego woke up, and smiled as she saw Drakken in her arms. The sunlight filtered in through the window curtains, and Shego realized they both must have slept in late. She leaned forward, gave him a kiss on his cheek while he slept, then sat up. He opened up his eyes, and held out his arms to her to come back. She smiled and felt the warmth of his embrace. She never imagined she could be so happy.

"Although, I'd love to stay here all day like this," Shego said, "We really should go check out the museum, to get ready for tonight's heist."

Drakken sighed and sat up. He smiled at Shego.

"Alright", he said.

He took a shower and got dressed in the bathroom. Shego had already taken a shower the night before, so she just got dressed in the bedroom while Drakken was taking his shower. She spent the rest of the time brushing her long hair and fixing her make up. When they were ready, they left the hotel room, grabbed some complimentary croissants for breakfast, and took a taxi to the Louvre Museum.

It was a huge museum, inside the castle where the kings of medieval France used to live. Drakken bought two tickets for the museum and they stepped inside.

"According to the brochure, the gem exhibit should be up one floor from here. The elevator is over there", said Drakken pointing to his right.

They rode the elevator, with a few other tourists, and exited onto the second floor. All around them were cases of huge beautiful sparkling gems. Shego looked greedily at a huge green emerald. In the center of the exhibit in a large glass display case was the world's largest diamond.

"Here it is", said Drakken.

Shego looked around to take note of the locations of security cameras, alarms, and the motion detection lasers which would be turned on at night. She glanced at the ceiling and walls, looking for a good entrance point. In the room next to the gem room, there were windows. The windows were so close to the target, it would be possible to do a smash and grab style heist, before security could catch them. They'd need a quick mode of transportation as their getaway vehicle though. They'd have to get the spare hovercraft out of the jet's cargo bay to use. After they left the museum, they sat at a café and discussed their plan.

"It seems like it will be an easy enough heist. Especially with Kim Possible out of the picture", said Drakken. He smiled at the thought of Kim Possible and her dufus sidekick chained to the wall back at his lair and starving.

Shego took a sip of coffee, and relaxed in the café's chair. This mission was turning out to be a great vacation as well.

"Well, if it's alright with you, I'd like to go shopping for some new clothes this afternoon. There's plenty of time before the heist", said Shego.

"Sure", said Drakken, and he handed her a few hundred Euros.

She took the money and said, "What's this for?"

"I don't want you to steal your clothes this time. We don't want the police alerted to our presence right before the diamond heist," said Drakken.

Shego slipped the money into her pocket and stood up. She kissed Drakken, and said, "Ok, I'll see you back at the hotel at 5:00, and we can have dinner and go get the hover craft."

Drakken sat at the café not knowing what to do with his free time. Back at his lair he had plenty of projects to keep himself busy, but here he didn't know what to do. He saw Shego walking away down the street, and felt like he missed her already. He got up from his chair, left a tip on the table and ran after her.

"I think I'd like to go shopping too", he said.

"Alright… but you might get bored while I'm looking in all the women's clothing shops", said Shego.

Drakken shrugged and walked alongside Shego while she went into a shop. She went in shop after shop, trying on new clothes. Shego was enjoying the company, and liked having someone to show her new outfits too when she tried them on. Drakken enjoyed seeing the dresses on her, though he wished Shego would go to a shop that had robotics components or lab equipment or something cool. After shopping, they had dinner in a little side street restaurant, and took a taxi to the airport to retrieve Drakken's hovercraft from the jet. It was time to steal the diamond.
