That night Shego didn't sleep for the first 2 hours. It was hard for her to believe that She wasn't a human anymore. She felt angry and abit sad by it, but at the moment she was a little sad she looked over at her reflection in a mirror that was on one of the walls and she sighed in a sort of depressed tone. She put her head between her paws and tears ran down the sides of her face and she whimpered a little, this was the first time in months that she felt depressed about something, she even thought that being a dog was twice as bad a being in prison! But after crying for several minutes she eventually fell asleep. But she wasn't asleep for long she got up and walked towards Drakken's room, one thing she noticed was her night vision (being able to see in the dark a lot of people and animals can do that it's basically the ability to see with out a light on) was slightly better then it was when she was a human, so she felt a little better but it didn't change the way she felt about the whole thing. Finally, She reached Drakken's room hoping that he was awake she walked in quietly. But then she was startled by a loud snort, it was Drakken it took Shego a couple minutes to realize it, sometimes she got scared easily but she wasn't a coward. "Psst Drakken you awake?" Shego whispered but didn't get a response she sighed and tried something else. "Uh… do you really appreciate me or think of as just a sidekick?" she asked, Drakken was half asleep so he wasn't totally aware of what Shego said "Just a sidekick that's it a sidekick" he answered in his sleep, Shego felt deeply hurt at hearing that she walked out of the room her tail drooped along with her ears, She made it back to her own room, she stared for the moment at a wanted poster of herself the way she was before she became a dog. She looked down at the floor and instead of getting back on her bed she squeezed herself underneath it, curled up in a ball and went back to sleep. The next day she woke up to the sound of Drakken's hovercraft taking off she tried to catch up but it was too late "wait! wait up!" she yelled she sat by the window looking outside at the sunrise "Well that figures he didn't even miss me" she said to herself then she thought of Kim and Ron she normally wouldn't have thought about seeing them but in this case she changed her. (gasps) "Then I'm not gonna miss him!" she said to herself and leaped off the window sill and headed out Commodore Puddle's dog door. But once She got outside she realized that Drakken's lair was on an island and the only way get to the main land was by boat or taking Drakken's hover craft but since he left and the motor boat they used wasn't working the only option she had was to swim across she didn't like getting wet except if she took a shower or bath but as far as swimming went, it wasn't her idea of getting around. She wasn't afraid of water or couldn't swim she just didn't like it even though she was a good swimmer and she was pretty graceful, so she decided if that's want she had to do to get to the main land then that's what she had to do.

She looked at the water then looked over at the main land "the things I do kill me, and not literally ether" she said to her self and backed away from the tide. Then she ran straight for it and jumped in the water creating a large splash. 'Ohh, this water so cold!" said Shego who shivered it wasn't so bad being in the water since the tide was low, she took a deep breath and started to swim. As she got farther out the water came up to her neck, when she was half way across she stopped to catch her breath, big mistake! A small wave was on top of her so she went under but only for a few seconds, "bleach! Oh sick" said Shego as she was spitting out salt water which tasted awful. Just in case another wave came by she pulled herself together and continued to swim. After swimming for almost an hour, Shego made it across. She boosted her self up the side of the dock and climbed to the top of it which was easy, once she reached the top she stood there and shock off the excess water that was in her fur even though she didn't like swimming the swim she took to get to the main land was actually enjoyable at least to her, except for the unexpected taste of salt water from a wave but other then that it was fine. It was still early in the mourning around 6:00 am and Shego was the only one on the dock, the beach and the board walk were totally deserted and she was totally alone, she didn't mind at all, then she sat on the dock to rest before continuing on her trip, the swim from Drakken's lair felt cleansing to her. Once her fur dried completely she got up and continued on her trip. Her paw pads felt a bit softer since she had been swimming in sea water but she knew they would be fine after some time just as long as she didn't accidentally cut herself. She started to walk up the beach heading towards the parking lot, the sand felt good against he paw pads, since it was still mourning the sand wasn't extremely hot as it normally would in the afternoon. When Shego reached the parking lot she heard some strange let familiar sounds "huh? What's that?" she asked herself, she trotted into the middle of the parking lot and found out where the sounds were coming from. The sounds she heard were cars driving by on the road, "oh why does there have to be a road here?" she said "Well… I have no choice but to cross" she said to herself and started to walk again. Once she reached the side of the road she looked around to see if there was another way to get across, she found another way there was a bridge that connected from her side of the road to the other, it went over the road instead of under it, she located the stairs and once again continued the rest of the trip.

Shego didn't know how high up she was until she looked down from the bridge and saw the road below her. She jumped back and sat in a corner of the bridge shaking , even though she had flown planes before, she was slightly afraid of heights. (gulps) "Don't look down, don't look down, what ever you do don't… look… down" she said to herself and continued to walk across the bridge "OK, let's see what could keep my mind off of this?" she thought "Hmm…I got it!" she said then she thought about and changed her mind. Then the cars below stopped, the driver of an old pick up trunk it was a 1960 ford pick up trunk in olive green, and the driver had the radio on high volume. But the song that was on the radio caught Shego's attention, the song that was playing was titled, "sitting on the dock of the bay" it was one of the songs Shego liked " Oh no must… not… wag… tail aah!" she said but she couldn't stop it her tail began to wag. Then she totally forgot about her fear of heights and started to finish crossing the bridge listening to the song : "I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watching the tides roll away, Yeah, I 'm just sittin on the dock of the bay wasting time. I left my home in Georgia and headed for San Francisco bay. Ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the watching the roll away, I watch the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again, oh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time, yeah." (Those are some of the lyrics to the song I DON'T own them ether but I do like that song.) By the time she reached the other side of the bridge the song was off and the traffic light had changed, Shego watched from the side of the road as the trunk drove off, heading farther up the coast. "Well… that was enjoyable" she said with a sigh she was in a good mood for the moment, then she headed farther Inland. Shego liked how her day was turning out so far it was pleasant in her opinion, being a dog was ok for a start at least that's what she thought at that moment. As she walked farther Inland she began to recognize where she was, she had finished walking through a small wooded area, when she came across a freeway sign "Middleton, next exit" was what was written on the sign, Shego looked at what was in front of her, she saw a small wetland area in the distance, that was the only way she could get to Middleton without walking on the freeway which had a large amount of Cars and big rig Trunks driving by, at first Shego had a hard time walking on four legs, now she was used to it. She trotted down the side of the freeway then she started to move a little faster and started to pick up speed then within a few seconds she started to run.

The feeling of it was enjoyable she had never experienced running like this in her life, she ran across the wetland, a field, and through another wooded area. Even though Shego had never been a dog before, some how after being changed into one, her canine instincts started to work, for the first time in her entire life she howled! When she reached a truck stop that was near the freeway she heard some wolves howling in the distance it was coming the wooded area she just ran through, she looked back at it and howled again it was full fledged Dog's howl. The wolves responded to her second howl and then walked father away. When the Wolves stopped howling, Shego, also went her separate way, she passed the truck stop and continued on her way towards Middleton. Now it was 7:00 am She came across an urban neighborhood. There was a breeze in the air, Shego looked down at her paws and saw right in front of her were a few strands of Kim's hair. This was the only link she had of finding Kim and Ron, she sniffed the strands of hair, some how they had been carried off with the breeze. After, she got a lock on Kim's sent she trotted farther into the neighborhood. But then she stopped to pant that run through the wetlands and woods really took the energy out of her. So instead of trotting she walked, then a larger dog it was a mixed breed stood right in front of her growling. Shego was a bit startled but then She growled right back at the other dog and her growl was louder and it sounded more like a wolf growl, she never saw the wolves she heard howling, she knew that they wouldn't cause any trouble since they didn't know where she was. The dog she growled at was afraid of her and she was shorter him! He whimpered and ran away. After the dog was gone Shego walked in the direction she was going in. She sniffed the air, Kim's sent was getting stronger then she heard Kim's voice in the distance "Are you sure you're ready?" Kim asked Ron, they were too busy talking to notice that Shego had climbed into Ron's backpack. "Yeah Kim I'm fine" said Ron as they peddled off Kim's driveway towards school. "OK, I'll take your word for it. Hey Ron feeling hungry?" said Kim "why?" Ron asked "Three words eat my dust!" Kim called out and went ahead of Ron trying to race him to school. "Hey that's not fair!" Ron yelled as he caught up with Kim. They reached school on time which took a lot of stress off Ron's shoulder. "Whoo, I don't remember My backpack being this heavy" said Ron as he lifted his backpack from the wooden crate he tied to the back "It's probably just your mind on Latin class" said Kim "Oh, yeah maybe" agreed Ron and the two of them walked into the school. Not knowing that Shego was hidden inside Ron's backpack, after her adventure she had that mourning Shego was tired and even though Ron's backpack wasn't very comfortable it was fine for the moment she tried to curl up into a ball but it didn't work.

"I hope you all studied for today's math test" said Ms. Whissp "OK begin" Kim and Ron had studied the night before so they didn't worry about what their test results were. "I think I'll do some research of My own" Shego said quietly to herself and carefully sneaked out of the classroom. "OK sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak, hide" Shego muttered to herself before anyone could see her she squeezed herself under the door. "Hmm… where should I start?" she asked herself looking around the hall way she was alone again, since everyone was in math class the school was totally quiet. Shego had some spare time before class was dismissed so she decided to do some exploring, She came across a geography classroom "Geography? OK, well I guess I'll take a look" said Shego. She looked around the classroom for about 10 minutes and left. "Well that was a bit amusing," Shego said to herself as she walked quietly down the hall way. "Ouch! Hey what gives I…biology class huh? Well no one's around" she thought and walked in. She took her paw and rubbed her nose since she accidentally walked into the door she wasn't bleeding it was just a little sore but it eventually wore off. Shego looked around the room sniffing as she went, then something caught her attention, there was a row of cages by the window. She went to investigate and found out that the cages had live animals in them. "Alright, let's what's in here" Shego thought (frog croaks) "OK a frog nothing weird about that. Now the next one… a mouse with black ears that's fine and lastly a garter snake with fangs… and a look that says I'm gonna eat you!" Shego thought "I think not!" she yelled and ran out of the classroom. But when she did, the janitor had finished mopping the floor and left, she slipped and skidded into another classroom across from the one she ran out of. When Shego got up she noticed the room was dark there weren't any lights on at all. She tried to find out what class room she was in, she looked the door but since she was inside the classroom the letters on the door were backwards but she figured it out she was in the darkroom of Photography class. She walked around the room, looking at the different photos that the students had taken. She stopped to look at one particular photo "Hey that's Me!" she thought she looked around to see who took it, one of the clothes pins that hung the photos as they developed had a piece of paper hanging on it. It had Ron's name on it Shego was shocked "Wow Kim Possible dopey sidekick took this!" Shego said to herself, her tail was wagging again she was impressed by the photos Ron had taken, after taking one last look at his photos she left.

She started to head back to the Math class where Kim and Ron were, as She walked back she heard some playing the Piano it was coming from the Music classroom, Shego stopped to listen for second, but then she was driven away by the sound of a trumpet being played by one of the students the student was possibly tone deaf because the note he tried to play was totally off-key. 'Oh my ears are ringing" said Shego once she stopped farther down the hall, She came across the Home Ec classroom and decided to do a little snooping "Hmm… still no one round" she thought she sniffed around the room and jumped on the teacher's desk and found a muffin on it, since she hadn't eaten anything yet, within 5 minutes all that remained of the muffin was the paper it was in. Shego sat on the licking her chops (the sides of her mouth) with satisfaction. She walked out of the home Ec class room and continued on her way towards Math class. But then the bell rang, Shego ran into the nearest classroom she could find before any one could see her. The next class room she ran in was Art class, "I guess I have time to soak up some culture" she said to herself. Shego didn't mind looking around the class room for Art class, it relaxed her a little, her tail slightly wagged. As she was getting ready to leave she found a sheet of blank paper and a tube of forest green Acrylic paint on the floor the cap on the tube was missing. She lifted her left front paw and lightly pressed on the tube of paint, a small drop of paint spilled out onto the paper. Shego placed both of her front paws on the paint, after about 10 minutes the black paper was cover with her paw prints. She carefully folded it in half with the dry side facing out ward she picked it up with her teeth and carried it out of the classroom. Just then she heard someone coming down the hall way, it was Bonnie and Tara. They were both talking to each other, that was the last thing Shego didn't need she didn't need or want to get caught. She looked around, trying to find a quick escape. She was too far away from the Art classroom so she quickly ran into a History classroom just in time before Bonnie and Tara could even get a glimpse of her. "Did you here something?" Tara asked, Bonnie looked around the hallway there was nothing there they were both completely alone or so they thought. "Nope, I didn't hear anything it was probably just the wind" said Bonnie "OK, if you say so" Tara answered in a meek voice she was being to suspect that she really heard something, but she didn't try to investigate. Shego hid in the classroom until she was sure that Bonnie and Tara were completely gone. She looked around the hallway and seeing that they were gone she walked out of the classroom and continued on her way. When she finally reached the Math classroom it was empty, she looked up at a clock on the wall it was noon and everyone was in the cafeteria, Shego walked into the doorway of the cafeteria "Gosh, how am going get past this?" she wondered, there were a lot of students and she could easily be seen if she wasn't careful. She managed find Kim and Ron's table and was careful not to get caught. She noticed Monique's lunch bag and curiously sniffed it, realizing how hungry she was Shego pulled out a Ziploc that had a roast beef sandwich in it, it was Monique's, Shego used her claws to rip open the Ziploc and within several minutes the sandwich was gone. She looked in the bag to see if there was anything else, there was it was a small bag of Lays potato chips and like Monique's sandwich the bag of chips disappeared too.

(I sort of based that part of the story on a similar thing that happened with My beagle mix Sienna the only difference is it was a ham sandwich My older brother left on my Mom's coffee table and there WEREN'T any chips ether now back to the story).

Shego was satisfied with eating Monique's lunch she sat down and licked her chops again. Then her left ear started to itch, she had seen how Commodore Puddles scratched his ears by using his back legs so she gave it a try. After 2 tries she finally got the hang of it. Then she heard Monique coming back to her table so Shego had no choice but to hide under the table. "What the…? How did this happen?" Monique stuttered, as she looked at her brown paper bag, she also found the torn up Ziploc and the ripped up bag of chips." Hey Monique what happened to your bag?" Kim asked "I lost My lunch I don't know how it happened but I lost it "Monique explained "Although I didn't see who did it there is one other mammal in this school that probably did it" said Monique as she looked over at Rufus. Rufus looked at the teeth marks on the torn Ziploc and the ripped up bag of chips and shook his head. "I don't think Rufus did this Monique, look these aren't his teeth marks" said Ron "Monique looked at the Ziploc closely "You got a point Ron" she admitted, "Uh… Kim, I promise to pay you back but can you loan me $10 dollars?" Monique asked "Sure" said Kim as she handed Monique a $10 dollar bill. "Thanks I'll have to make it up to you sometime" said Monique. "Hey! You better go, before all good looking pizza slices are" said Ron "Right… see ya" Monique called out and walked away. An hour later, Kim and Ron started move on to their next class. Ron had to take an English test and Kim had cheer practice, Shego had a feeling that Kim and Ron were going to leave, so she hid inside Kim's back pack. "You're right Ron, I'm starting to get your point about backpacks being heavy" said Kim as she attempted to pick up her backpack. "I told you! Have I ever steered you wrong?" said Ron "Well there was that one time…" said Monique who laughed at Ron, but he cut her off before she could say anything else. "Hey! You stay out of this!" he yelled "Fine …ok" said Monique who walked away still laughing. Ron was halfway to English class when he bumped into Flex. "Uh… Flex isn't English class that way?" Ron asked, "Yeah, it is… but, hey guess what! Mr. Barkin is leaving early! So the test is canceled!" said Flex. "You're kidding right?" Ron asked who frowned at hearing the news. "Nope it's no joke, if you want really what to find out go ask him yourself" said Flex, "OK I will hopefully I'll get him straight today" said Ron "about what? I mean it's not like you've been late for school every day of this week and he was going to send you to D-hall or something" said Flex. "Wait! Who told you that?" Ron asked, "Oh, someone by the name of Monique" answered Flex. "Ooh, she's goin' down" said Ron, Flex snickered, "Watch, yourself pal, Monique does not fool around" Flex warned. "Right…" said Ron as he rolled his eyes he had a sort of nervous looking type grin on his face. "Well… catch ya later" said Flex as he headed farther down the hallway "See ya!" Ron called out. "Hey Ron! Don't forget next Thursday night you and I are gonna play ever lot" Flex called out "OK, see ya then" Ron called back and the two of them went off in their separate directions. Ron made it to English class just in time to catch Mr. Barkin before he left. "Stoppable what are you doing here?" Mr. Barkin asked. "Oh nothing Important" said Ron as he rolled his eyes in the opposite direction. "Um… where are you heading off to?" Ron asked. "Just a Middleton teachers convention downtown. It starts at 8:00 pm tonight so I'm going home early to get ready" explained Mr. Barkin. "So… I canceled today's test" he answered Ron let out a sigh of relief. "But… as for tomorrow. I expect that overdue book report from last month, you know the book report on "A tale of two cites?" said Mr. Barkin, "Ohh… right that book report, don't worry I got it covered" said Ron. "I hope this time you're right" said Mr. Barkin. "And another thing as for next week get here on time Ms. Whissp told Me that you got here on time so I expect that you continue to do so" said Mr. Barkin " Sure thing" said Ron as he walked out of the room.

Meanwhile, at the Gym, Kim was in the middle of cheer practice, She still didn't know that Shego was hidden in her back and now Shego couldn't stay in the backpack any longer. There wasn't enough air and she was getting hot so she climbed out of it. "Ah, fresh air" Shego sighed as she stretched out and watched Kim. Shego had NEVER been a cheerleader in her entire life that was because she had NO interest in it at all, plus she felt a little sensitive about anyone saying something about her skin. Kim was halfway through her routine when Bonnie called out to her. "Kim!" all the other cheerleaders stopped, Yeah Bonnie?" Kim answered, "There's a dog in the Gym" said Bonnie who pointed at Shego. Kim looked over at the bottom row of the stands and saw Shego sitting next to her backpack. Kim put her Pom-poms down and walked towards Shego, at that moment Shego knew that she couldn't hide anymore. Her ears drooped and her tail was between her legs, she was also slightly shaking. "Shego what are you doing here?" Kim whispered "Drakken left Me home alone so I had nothing better to do… so, I came here" Shego explained. "You have to wait outside until school is out if I get caught then I'll be in trouble and You'll be hauled off to the pound" said Kim "Good point" Shego replied. "Kim are you going to put that dog out or not?" said Bonnie who stood waiting with the other cheerleaders. "Sorry" Kim answered in a meek voice. "Come you're going out" said Kim as she grabbed Shego by the scruff of her neck. Kim opened the side door of the gym and let Shego out, "I'll be out at 3:00pm just wait by My bike" said Kim. Shego nodded. And trotted over to where Kim had parked her bike. Shego had a long day now she all she wanted to do was rest. She looked at her left front leg and saw a little patch of fur sticking up, Shego looked at it she had also seen how Puddles groomed himself so for the first time she stuck out her tongue and licked the patch of fur back into place. She then licked her shoulders and nipped the tip of her tail. Shego was surprised that she actually licked herself! Since she had been used to combing and brushing her hair like a normal person now that she was a dog she couldn't do that type of thing anymore. It was now 3:00pm and Shego knew that Kim and Ron would be out soon since she heard the school bell ring. Ron and Kim walked over to their bikes, but Ron was so busy telling Kim about what happened between him and Mr. Barkin, that Ron didn't know that he stepped on Shego's tail! Shego yelped. Ron jumped back when he heard her, Rufus quickly climbed out of Ron's pocket and stood on the handlebars of Kim's bike "Sorry Shego" Ron stopped and thought about what he said he looked down and saw a familiar black and white Corgi looking straight up at him "Aah! K.P. help!" Ron yelled and hid behind Kim. "Is She going to attack?" Ron asked "No, Ron She's not" said Kim, "Oh" Ron answered. He tried to pet Shego but she wouldn't let him. "Come' on I just want to pet you" said Ron but Shego kept dodging him. "Shego if you're gonna be with us people are going to think that You're Our dog so you HAVE to get used Ron and I touching you, is that clear?" said Kim. "Crystal" Shego answered, "Hey, come here" said Kim as she put her hand out in Shego's direction. 'It's OK" Kim answered "K.P. what if she bites you?" Ron asked "She wouldn't do that…would you?" said Kim "You wouldn't try that would you Shego?" Kim asked "Uh…well (sighs) I don't know" Shego answered. "Anyway, if you did bite any of us… I'll have Wade contact the prison you and Drakken escape from I'm sure the other villains will be pleased to have you guys back" said Kim. Shego's ears drooped and She whimpered, "Sorry… I hope I didn't hurt your feelings" Kim answered "NO it's OK I'll be fine… I usually get overly emotional about moments like this" Shego explained.

Shego slowly approached Kim, Ron and Rufus watched, they weren't sure if Shego would snap at Kim. She didn't, Kim put her hand on Shego's back and started petting her, Shego never trusted anyone touching her she growled at Kim "Um… K.P. she's growling" said Ron. "I know she'll calm down soon" Kim whispered, she was right Shego stopped growling. Shego started to trust Kim but it took some time for her to get used to Kim petting her. Since they were enemies it was hard for both of them. Surprisingly Shego began to wag her tail! "You're enjoying this aren't you?" Kim asked Shego nodded, she even let Ron pet her. "Alright… enough bonding we have go" Ron reminded Kim, "Oh right… are you coming with us or what?" Kim asked "I guess so" Shego answered as she followed Kim and Ron in the direction to Kim's house. Meanwhile, back at Drakken's lair Commodore Puddles noticed that Drakken and Shego were gone "Where is everybody?" he thought. Since Drakken wasn't back Puddles took this opportunity to do some of the things he WOULDN'T normally do if Drakken and Shego weren't around. He found the remote control under the sofa and picked it up. (OK you're all probably thinking, what is he going to do with it? I got the idea for this scene from the movie Beethoven. You know the movie with the St. Bernard, there was one scene where Beethoven got on the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control so I decided that would make part of this story a little funny.) Puddles turned on the T.V. and changed the channel to… Oprah! half of then show was already over when Commodore Puddles heard Drakken coming up the stairs. "Uh-oh!" Puddles thought, he quickly turned off the T.V. and hid under the Coffee table. "What the?... were you just watching Oprah?" Drakken asked his dog "Never mind don't answer that" said Drakken, as he went to look for Shego. "Shego, I'm sorry if I forgot about you, Shego? …. Hello? … I can't believe that she would desert me like this, can you Puddles?" said Drakken, Puddles shook his and looked at Drakken as if to say: "I can think of several good reasons… it gets boring around here" Drakken found a post it note (sticky note) on the wall next to the bookshelf. He read it: "Dear Drakken, since you left me home alone I decided to go over to the main land I'll be back in a few hours, signed Shego.

P.S. flip over this note after you read it". "What's this arrow for?" Drakken thought, it reading the note wasn't too hard, since Shego couldn't have hand written it, Drakken guessed that she went through the trashcan that was used for the paper shredder and found some stuff that he had typed on the computer and tore off several letters and used double sided tape to put them on the paper, before she left. But she didn't leave the note, Puddles did it! He thought that since Shego had been nice to him lately he figured that he would do something in return. Drakken was still puzzled by the arrow on the back of the note. Then he had an idea, the arrow was point towards the window so he walked over to the window. He looked outside and saw Kim and Ron in a motor boat, 'What are they doing here?" Drakken asked himself, and then he saw Shego stepping out of the boat. "Shego with Kim Possible! Somebody pinch me I must be dreaming" he said to himself, "Ouch! Puddles that was an expression!" Drakken yelled, Puddles had nipped his ankles. "I've always waited for him to say that" Puddles thought as he left the room.

Shego looked back at Kim and Ron who were getting ready to leave. She looked at Kim for a long time and wagged her tail. Kim stepped out of the boat and petted Shego then she stepped back in the boat and left. Shego found the back door, since it was locked she had no choice but to use Puddle's dog door. "Shego you're back, uh… just a question were you with Kim Possible while I was gone?" said Drakken "Yes… as much as I can't stand her, I decided that I would you know see about her" Shego explained. "Shego you're not getting soft are you?" Drakken asked. "Me? Of course not, that probably won't happen" Shego answered, "At least not now" Shego thought. She explained how she got over to the main land and found Kim and Ron, "Uh, what's that paper for?" Drakken asked, "Oh that nothing personal" Shego answered and handed Drakken the paper. It was the same paper that had her paw prints on it (You know the part where she used that paint on that paper she found in the Art classroom) "Let me guess abstract right?" Drakken asked "Not really I was just curious to see what my paw prints looked like that's all" said Shego. "OK… you know something I never knew you could paint" Drakken admitted "Oh yeah I can draw too there's several things you've never known about me" said Shego. "Um… anyway why did you leave earlier today anyway?" she asked "I found the items that I need to cure you so, I'm going to have to run some tests, not on you I'll find something or some one else to try it on, then after that I just need to type it on the computer and then once the cure is finished you'll be back to your old self" Drakken explained "Yes! Alright! No milk bones for me cause I won't be living the dog life anymore!" said Shego who seemed excited "But there is a downside to this it could take weeks or even a few months before I can ACTUALLY cure you" Drakken answered. "You know something out of all your plans that have back fired this is the worst and I still say it's all your fault that I'm a dog and another thing I never really like being your sidekick also I'm leaving" said Shego who was angry again. "Good bye!" She yelled and headed towards the stairs "And good riddance to that" Drakken shouted back "See you around… oops right I won't" said Shego, that was the last thing she said before heading out the dog door. "Shego? Shego come back!" Drakken called out after he calmed down, but she couldn't hear him. She had already headed down to the tide, she looked back at the lair thinking she should go back and apologize but she didn't, she went farther out into the water and began swimming towards the main land again.

By the time she reached Kim's neighborhood the sun was starting to set. She scratched the front door hoping that Kim would here her. She did, "Shego what the? …" she cut Kim off "Hello again" said Shego "What happened? And how did you find my house?" Kim asked. " I swam back over here and also Drakken and I no longer work together anymore he fired me" said Shego "You mean you ran off " Kim answered "OK I'll admit it I did, we got into a fight so I left" Shego explained. " Sorry to hear that, hey! Tomorrow is Saturday" said Kim "what does that have to do with Me?" Shego asked "Come in and I'll tell you" Kim whispered. "What about your parents?" Shego asked "Don't worry about it they working over time today" Kim explained and walked back in the house. "Ron and I are going to the park tomorrow, not that you'll probably want to hang out with us or anything but maybe you should come with us" said Kim. She went over to pet Shego, but as she touched Shego's sides, she flinched. Kim wondered if Shego was ticklish she didn't really think a villain like her would be like that, but she decided to give it a try. "So what's Your point?" Shego asked "Maybe… getting… out… will… help you loosen up" said Kim whose voice was breaking up as she started laughing. "Oh no not… that… aah!" Shego yelled, her voice also started to break up as she began to laugh. "No tickling please I'm begging you stop!" she yelled, she couldn't help the fact she was ticklish, "Stop!" she called out "What? I can't hear you" said Kim, "OK stop… seriously stop!" she called out again and this time Kim stopped. "That felt good" said Shego, "So what are you going to the park for?" she asked "Well… Ron found this flier taped to the front door and…" before Kim could anything else Ron cut her off. "K.P. Thunderbolt and Lightning are out on tour!" "Who are they?" Kim asked "Their the main characters for a new T.V show called the Thunderbolt adventure hour and their gonna be here tomorrow" Ron explained. "So what's your point?" Kim asked, "Their going to be signing autographs!" said Ron "OK I get it, wait a second is that the flier you found on the door? The one you wouldn't let me read first?" said Kim. "Um… yes" Ron answered "Yikes! She's back!" Ron yelled when he looked over at Shego who was sitting on the Couch. "Ron would you pleas calm down she's not going to bite you" said Kim "sh-she's not?" Ron asked "Nope, course not I can be nice if I want to I just never felt like it" Shego explained. "But I thought you were mean" Ron admitted "Mean? Ha! I am mean but I'm not that heartless" said Shego. "OK I can live with that" said Ron.

"Although I have one problem I don't have a place to stay and I can't go back to Drakken I've burned that bridge" Shego explained, "Well… you might not like this but you can stay here" Kim suggested. "Well it isn't My first choice but OK I give in just this once" said Shego. "Wait here" said Kim and went upstairs, "I can't believe I'm stuck here with My enemy, well I guess this could count as a dose of punishment" thought Shego. "So let me get this straight you swam all the way here?" Ron asked, "Yeah" Shego answered "Wow I didn't know you could swim" Ron admitted "Oh sure, shoot when you're a dog the only thing you can do is well… Dog paddle" said Shego. Ron snickered, "that's not really funny" said Ron, "Yeah I know I've never really had a good sense of humor" said Shego, "Hey… you might get better just keep at it" said Ron, "Thanks for the tip" Shego answered. Just then Kim came back down stairs "Well I made a spot for you upstairs" said Kim "Thanks…but I still hate you" said Shego "I wouldn't say that" Kim answered. "I've seen a change in your attitude today" said Kim "OK maybe I have changed but once I'm human again I'm returning to My old self" said Shego. Later that night Kim's parents had returned home. She didn't tell them about Shego the minute they got back she thought she would wait for the perfect moment to tell them. After dinner Kim noticed no one was in the kitchen and since Shego was upstairs in her bedroom Kim found the left over nachos that she and Ron had earlier that day. Since her parents were watching T.V. they didn't notice her. But her brothers did, "Hey Kim whatcha doing?" they asked, Kim knew she had to give them an answer and since she still didn't tell her parents about Shego being upstairs she lied! I have some studying to do so I needed a pick me up" said Kim "OK good night" Jim & Tim answered, and they continued on their way to the living room. Kim went upstairs to her room carrying the nacos that she heated up in the microwave. "Psst Shego come out of the closet it's OK I'm back" Kim whispered, "What took you so long?" Shego asked. 'Never mind that I hope you don't mind eating nacos today" said Kim "It's alright I've improvised before… I can put up with it again" said Shego. After she finished the nacos Shego looked around Kim's room sniffing as she went. "You ok?" Kim asked "Not really since I'm staying with My enemy… but what can you do if you're stuck with it?" said Shego, "I guess we could try to get along even though we don't necessarily see eye to eye" said Kim, "Well… if you're up to it then I guess I'm in too" Shego replied, "OK I can put up with that" said Kim, who got up from her desk and went to change her clothes. A few minutes later she came back, in her pajamas,"Well I fixed a spot for you…over there" said Kim, next to her nightstand was a white plastic laundry basket it had a pillow in it and a couple blankets the pillow was basically used for the cushion. "Me? Sleep in that are you nuts?" Shego asked, "Hey! It's the best I could do for now, unless you want to sleep on the floor or outside because there is no way I'm starting a fight tonight" said Kim. Shego could tell by the tone of Kim's voice that she meant what she said. And since she didn't what to start more trouble, she decided not to argue with Kim. "Good night" said Kim "Shego? Are you awake?" come' on no one falls asleep that fast" said Kim "Get up!" said Kim, "Huh? Hey I'm trying to get some sleep" said Shego. "Sorry just checking on you" said Kim. "OK see ya in the mourning" said Shego who curled up into a ball and went to sleep. But she didn't sleep for long, her sleep was interrupted by dreams and flashbacks she had in her sleep. It started out with a strange dream, She was human again then she woke up. "Huh? Wha? What? Ohh just a dream" thought Shego, and went back to sleep. After the dream she had flashbacks from all the plans that Drakken had come up with from the first one which was the Nano-tick to what happened yesterday. Shego woke up again, once again tears ran down the sides of her face, she whimpered "Drakken was right I am just a sidekick ohhh… I'm better off as a dog" she said to herself. "Shego are you alright?" Kim asked "It's nothing" said Shego "Come' on tell me about it and… are you… crying?" said Kim "No I just have something in my eye" said Shego "OK you caught me. I didn't realize this but I miss Drakken I don't know why but I do" said Shego "I wouldn't know ether but I'll say this he probably misses you too" said Kim. She was right Drakken did miss Shego, and at that very moment back at the lair, he couldn't sleep ether. Even though Drakken and Shego DIDN'T love each other Drakken cared about if Shego went missing or she got hurt. Shego didn't feel the exact same way but she did respect Drakken and since he gave her the ONLY job that she wanted, she felt that she in a way owed him for giving her a job. "Ohhh, Shego please come back" Drakken said to himself, Puddles barked 4 times which meant "She can't hear you" Drakken replied "I know she can't hear me Puddles! Don't rub it in!" "Sheesh… no wonder Shego left I wish I had gone with her" Puddles thought.

Kim and Shego didn't talk very long it was 3:00 am and they were both tired. "If it makes you feel better you can sleep on the foot of the bed" said Kim, "OK, just as long as You don't kick me off" said Shego "I won't" said Kim. Shego leaped onto the bed and curled up into a ball. Kim thought that she had fallen a sleep, so she quietly got in bed and went back to sleep. Shego still missed Drakken and she was still sad about being a dog even though she had fairly good day. She sat up and looked in the direction of the window, there was a crescent moon in the sky that night, and since she had been though a lot lately she looked at the moon and howled! But only for 10 minutes, because Kim grabbed Shego at the scuff of her neck and told her to stop howling because she was worried that her parents down stairs would her Shego's howling. Shego understood perfectly that she couldn't howl at night or when Kim's parents and brothers were at home. Shego curled back up into a ball and instantly fell asleep.
