The Past Remembered
Chapter Six: Shopping
By The Spooky Mulder
Kim and Shego decided to meet at the mall at ten o'clock. Shego met Kim in the food court, and they agreed to go to Club Banana first.
"So, did you have any problem getting the day off?" Kim asked, browsing through a rack of sale items. "Actually, no," Shego said, raising her eyebrows.
"Really?"
Shego shrugged. "It was weird. I went downstairs to ask, but before I could he just said 'Shego, I'm giving you the day off', just like that." Shego scratched her head.
Kim frowned. "You don't think he heard our phone conversation, do you?" Shego frowned too. "I don't know…maybe. But if he had, he would have been mad instead of letting me off, knowing where I was going."
"He would do something like that?"
Shego smiled bitterly. "You don't know what he can be like. Those chemicals…they did something other than turn him blue. It's like he's the one with PMS instead of me."
Not being able to hold it back, Kim giggled. Shego shook her head, and the two continued shopping.
Back at the lair, Drakken was trying his best to think of a plan and not why Shego was shopping with Kim Possible. He finally stopped trying, and went upstairs. He walked past Shego's room, and had a sudden thought. What if I, you know, just looked around? She would never know…Drakken knew that Shego's room was always off-limits, but once the idea entered his mind, it wouldn't leave him alone. "I'll be in and out, she'll never notice anything is wrong," he said aloud. The decision made, Drakken pushed her door open.
He took a quick glance around, then noticed a drawer on Shego's bedside table that was slightly open. Curiosity taking the better of him, Drakken pulled it all the way open. Inside were several papers, but one in particular caught his attention. He felt his mouth fall open. "No way…" he whispered.
Two hours later, Kim and Shego decided to take a break and eat lunch. Kim was already at a table eating SubWay, and Shego was in line at Chic-Fil-A. Shego turned to give Kim an impatient glance, and noticed something else. Through the sunroof Shego could see a helicopter, and someone was being lowered down. "I'd recognize that kilt anywhere," she muttered. "Kim! It's Killigan!"
At Shego's shout, Kim glanced up just in time to see Duff Killigan blast through the sunroof. She set the rest of her sandwich and jumped into action, noticing Shego do the same out of the corner of her eye.
"Killigan!" Kim said, getting into her fighting stance. "What do you want this time?"
Duff glanced at Shego, who was standing right next to Kim in a similar stance. "I just wanted to see if it was true…" Killigan turned his head back to the helicopter. "Aye, Monty! The two lasses are shopping together!"
Shego and Kim looked into the helicopter and saw Monkey Fist in the pilot's seat, along with DNAmy and Adrena Lynn. Shego paled. "Oh no…my reputation!"
Kim scowled. "How did you know we were here, anyway?" she asked. "Ar! Frugal Lucre was at a sale and saw ya. The lad called us immediately, and we had to see if it was true."
With that, the four villains left. Everyone in the food court was staring at Kim and Shego. "The show's over!" Shego growled. The two got off the table. Shego shrunk down in her chair. "What am I going to do? There's no way Drew won't hear about this! He might even fire me!" she said, putting her face in her hands.
Kim raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I don't think he will."
Without looking up Shego said, "And why not?"
Taking a deep breath, Kim went on. "Well, Ron and I sort of noticed that he seems to like you…" It was Shego's turn to raise an eyebrow. "That's…weird. And somewhat ironic."
Kim shrugged. "I call it as I see it. Anyway…maybe we should head back. That was plenty excitement for me." Shego agreed. They were walking towards Kim's house when Shego had an idea. "Why don't you come back with me?" When Kim just stared at her she elaborated. "Well, I think we should hang out more. I'm pretty sure we can get in without Dr. D noticing, and it would be really fun to watch a movie…"
Kim couldn't say yes fast enough.
When they got to the lair they didn't see any vehicles out front, so Shego figured it was safe to use the front door. Shego and Kim were discussing what movie they were going to watch as Shego pulled the door open. They were completely taken by surprise when Drakken was waiting for them right inside. For a while no one said anything, and all Drakken did was raise an eyebrow. Shego finally tried to say something. "Um…"
"Don't eat all of the popcorn," Drakken said, enjoying the look of shock on Shego and Kim's faces. He turned and exited the room. Both of Kim's eyebrows were up. "What the heck was that about?" she asked. Shego still couldn't talk. Her mouth was hanging open and all she could do was shake her head. Finally she gave Kim a helpless look. "Let's get the popcorn, then," she said. The two entered Shego's room. Shego was putting "Pirates of the Caribbean" in when Kim said, "What's this?"
Shego glanced over and did a double take. "Where did you find that?" Kim shrugged. "It was sitting on your bed." Shego paled. "Oh no…" She walked over to her bed and took the paper from Kim. "He found it…" Kim, who hadn't gotten a good look at the paper, was confused. "Found what?"
Shego silently handed the paper to Kim, who looked away from Shego's face to read it. Her mouth fell open. It was a marriage certificate for "Drew Lipski" and "Stephanie Go".
"Drakken found this?" Kim asked. Shego nodded. "It was in my drawer. He must have been in here…I guess he really did hear our phone conversation."
Kim sat down next to Shego. "But he didn't even ask if it was real or not. I wonder what he's thinking right now…"
A/N: Heh. There you go. I know it's short and way too late, but I'm just not very motivated during the summer. But, school starts in three days (shudder) and I'm sure I'll write more then. Just so you know…I wrote this entire chapter while listening to the song "Vote Beeblebrox" on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy soundtrack. Thanks for reading!
