Drakken slowly opened the paper and looked inside.
There in Shego's writing was the note that changed his life…
Shego loved him!
Truly loved him!
This blue guy with a weird obsession had a gorgeous girl… LOVE HIM!
But he also saw the fine print.
Shego was gone.
Forever.
"Shego?" Drakken whispered.
He eyed the dry teardrops on the paper and slid his fingers over them.
Then he saw the picture of Shego that he always kept on his desk.
Shego was on a park bench in a black mini skirt and a green silk blouse (they had recently been to a fancy restaurant for celebration of the not so well done Diablo failure) and Drakken had posed Shego in his command.
She had her knees pulled to her chest with one knee catty-cornered and her head was resting like an angel's on her legs.
Drakken suddenly got the idea to find her… and started off to Junior's…

Shego's feet burnt, her chest heaved with pain, her nose was flaring and her calves throbbed.
But despite all these things, which might slow her down, she went faster.
All she had to do was get into the nearest hotel, rent a car, and maybe a little place like New Albany would accept her.
She had all her money stuffed in her pockets and back pack along with a jumpsuit. 3 pairs of pajamas, some pants, some shirts, and a bag of chips. But she wished she could've stuffed a blanket in there too, 'cause she could see her breath in the night air.
However, despite the feeling of a basketball settling in her stomach, she had grabbed her cell phone.
After tripping over some branches and landing in the Ramada Inn parking lot, she slung her back pack into the wall of a one bed room and did something she hadn't done in a long time:
Bawled.
She missed her home, her brothers, her boyfriend, her things, her room, her… her… her boss.
She wanted to go home, to the lair that she belonged in. The one where she knew where everything was, could jump up and hit the chandelier from the top of the stairs, eating the burnt toast that the henchmen made in the morning, the smell of Drakken's office with his weird cologne, the smell of her room with the lavender and rose twist, and she wanted to… well… go home.
BUZZ BUZZ!
Her hip started to vibrate lightly and she whipped it out, glancing at the front.
'JUNIOR'
Shego sighed and decided to forgive him for like two seconds. Besides, she wanted to see what he would do.
"Hello?" she said solemnly and wiped her puffy eyes.
"Shego?"
"Drakken?" Shego said in confusion.
"Shego? Oh, I miss you!" Drakken said. In the back of his voice, she sensed something… different.
"Um… you…" Shego suddenly found yet another reason to cry. Her whole life was ruined. Her evil reputation… take that back… her reputation period, they were all being flushed down the toilet like Drakken's funky schemes.
"Shego… yeah. But…" Drakken suddenly found a weird loss for words.
"I bet SSJ is standing over your shoulder."
"Yeah." Drakken responded.
"Get on AIM?" she questioned.
"Huh?"
"Aol Instant Messenger? Doy!" Shego rolled her eyes, Samo Drakken.
"Sure."
With that she flipped her cell phone and darted to the computers.
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
After 20 minutes in denial, awaiting for Drakken to log onto the chat site, Shego, for the first time in her life (OK, second) bit her nails. She didn't care about all that nonsense right now.
But then a ding crushed her thoughts.
Drewbie- Hello, Shego.

Greengoddess- uh huh! Yea rite! And good bye! Never 2 ttyl! Don't lylab! Hope never to cul8ter! GOOD BYE!
And with that- she logged off to leave Drakken close to tears and for a long time he sat there staring at the last line.
Oh, I beg to differ, my lady.
