Chapter 8

When Shego arrived back at Drakken's lair she tossed him the adaptor with a smile.

"Great work again, Shego", said Drakken. He plugged the adaptor into the wall outlet, and attached the invisibility ray's plug. The control screen on the ray lit up with power. It was now operational.

"Oooo I'm so excited!", said Drakken, "Let's give this thing a test drive, shall we?"

He set one of his mother's heart-shaped cookies in front of the ray, and activated the controls. A yellow stream of light emitted from the invisibility ray and the cookie seemed to disappear before Drakken's eyes. He reached around and found the invisible cookie, and took a bite.

"It works!", he said excitedly and took another bite, "Mmmm, my mom really does bake great cookies."

He grabbed another cookie off the cookie sheet, and started eating it.

"Want one?", he asked Shego.

"No thanks", she replied.

"I think I'll take some of these with me to the movies tonight. Oh, speaking of that, what movie did you want to see?", asked Drakken.

"I don't know. A comedy maybe? What's playing?", said Shego.

Drakken pulled up the movie show times on his huge computer screen. He scrolled through the different movie titles looking for a comedy.

He said, "There's a comedy called 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin'."

"Someone made a movie about your life?", mocked Shego, "You should sue for copyright infringement."

"Very funny…", scowled Drakken.

"Well, you are a 40 year old virgin, aren't you?" asked Shego.

"Well… not if you count robot girls", said Drakken.

"Eeewwwww…. I'll just pretend I didn't hear that", Shego said as she made a gagging face.

"I mean, why else build a robot girl?", he added.

"Ok… change of subject please!" shouted Shego, "Let's just keep 'past relationships' as an off-limits topic tonight."

"Fine with me. If I heard anything about you and Senor Senior Junior, I think I'd be sick", said Drakken.

"The movie starts at 5:30. We should head to the theater now," said Shego.

"Alright. After you, Dumpling", said Drakken as he held open the door to the hovercraft bay. Shego rolled her eyes back. She wondered if this date was not such a good idea after all. They stepped into the hovercraft and headed towards the theater.
