Chapter 5

Drakken stood up, and Shego followed, still massaging his shoulders. He opened the door, to see his mother, Mrs. Lipsky, standing there. She always seemed to show up without calling first.

"Mother… Uh… How nice to see you again", said Drakken, "What's the occasion?"

"Drewbie!", she said, looking at Shego massaging Drakken's shoulders, "Do you have a girlfriend now? Oh I am so happy!"

"She's not my girlfriend, Mother", Drakken said as he pulled away from Shego.

"Oh…you don't have to be shy around me. I just can't wait 'till the day you get married and start having babies!", Mrs. Lipsky said.

Drakken blushed with embarrassment. Why did his mother always have to bother him about not being married? He expected to hear Shego laugh, or mock him, but she said nothing. Shego's probably saving up the insults for later, he thought.

"Actually, I just came here to give you these," said Mrs. Lipsky, holding up a shopping bag with new underwear in it.

"Mother! You're embarrassing me…", said Drakken, as some henchmen snickered in the background. Again, Shego didn't laugh.

Drakken quickly grabbed the bag from his mother and set it behind a control panel.

"Where's your kitchen Drewbie? I'd like to bake some cookies for you and your new girlfriend. I'll put pink sprinkles on them, just how you like them!", said Mrs. Lipsky as she walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.

Drakken looked at Shego and whispered, "I wish my mother would stop embarrassing me like this."

Shego obediently nodded and ran to the kitchen after Drakken's mother. When she caught up to Mrs. Lipsky, who was placing heart-shaped cookies on a baking sheet, she said, "I wish you would stop embarrassing Doctor Drakken!"

"Oh! But my Drewbie loves when I come to visit. He would never be embarrassed by me", said Mrs. Lipsky sweetly.

Drakken arrived in the kitchen and whispered, "Shego, what are you doing? Don't make things worse."

"Oh… look at you two. Whispering sweetly to eachother! I'm so happy for you Drewbie! You're girlfriend is such a pretty girl too!", said Mrs. Lipsky as she put pink sprinkles on the cookies.

"Mother… I already told you. I don't have a girlfriend. I wish I did, but I don't", said Drakken, "Shego is just my assistant on my radio show."

Shego heard Drakken's wish that he had a girlfriend. Due to the brainwashing shampoo, she now wanted more than anything to make that wish come true.

"If you'd like, I can be your girlfriend", Shego said to Drakken.

"Uh…What?", asked Drakken in shock. He suddenly realized, Shego must be making this up for his mother as a joke.

"Nothing in this world would make me happier", Shego said as she wrapped her arms around Drakken.

'Now I know she's joking', Drakken thought to himself.
