Chapter 5
"Where's Shego with her green fire when I need it", complained Drakken as he watched Kim unsuccessfully try to start a fire with her laser stick of lipstick. The laser kept cutting through the twigs rather than lighting them.
"Let me try that", he said, and tried to grab the laser out of her hands. Kim held onto it tightly, and wouldn't let Drakken have it.
"Get your own laser", said Kim, as she kept trying to light the twigs. Suddenly a small spark formed. Kim blew on it and the fire spread across the twigs.
"Yes!", said Drakken, as he took off his wet gloves and warmed his cold hands on the small fire. He sat down and took off his boots to dump the cold water out of them. Kim smiled at her success in creating the fire. Drakken glanced over at Kim. He stared briefly then quickly looked away as he noticed the cold wet black shirt sticking to her body, showing raisin-like bumps where her nipples were on her breasts. He felt nervous, and his face felt hot and flushed as she sat down right next to him to warm herself by the fire. Although, she had been his arch foe for many years, he had never taken notice of her in that way before.
Kim wrung out her wet hair and flipped it back.
"Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for someone to notice the smoke and rescue us", said Kim.
Drakken unbuckled his belt, and Kim blushed beet-red, as he took off his wet blue labcoat to dry it by the fire. He was wearing a short sleeved black shirt underneath, that clung to his chest. His arms were somewhat muscular. Drakken glanced over and Kim quickly looked down away from him. He noticed she was blushing. It was very obvious.
"So Kim Possible", said Drakken, "What was it exactly that made you decide to become a teen hero?"
"Oh.. um. It's a long story really. Why do you want to know? I was just looking for some babysitting work, and ended up being called for teen hero work instead. I liked it, so I stuck with it", said Kim, "Anyway, what I want to know is what made you decide to become a villain. You couldn't have been this way your whole life, right?"
"Well I've always dabbled in evil, ever since my childhood", mused Drakken, "You know, toy death rays, evil robots, and such. I always dreamed of teaching all those kids who made fun of me in school a lesson. I finally decided to take over the world after college. I always enjoyed a good challenge." Drakken smiled at the thought of ruling the world.
Kim sighed at the weirdness of her foe, and laid back on the ground. The sun was setting, and the sky was beginning to darken. Soon their smoke signal would not be visible. She hoped someone would come to rescue them soon. She looked over and watched Drakken as he leaned near the fire trying to get warm. The light from the fire made a yellow glow across his blue face. His scar and the dark circles under his eyes showed up more pronounced in the shadows created by the fire light. As she looked at Drakken, Kim suddenly noticed something red in the distance behind him. Could it be rescuers?
Kim leapt up and said, "I think I see someone!"
She ran through the woods, followed by Drakken, towards the thing she spotted. When she got there, she noticed it was a red tent.
"We're saved!", said Drakken, "They must have a cell phone."
"It's empty", said Kim unzipping the tent, "It probably belonged to those two dead hikers I saw by the mountain lions."
"Let's search their stuff for a phone", said Drakken, "They might even have some food!"
Drakken found a piece of leftover cake in a backpack and shoved it in his mouth, "Mmmm, lemon", he said with his mouth full.
"Hey, I found a radio!", said Kim.
She turned on the radio, and flipped through the static until she found a news station.
"The bodies of Kim Possible and Dr. Drakken were found in the Rocky Mountains today…", began the news broadcast.
Drakken spit out the cake in shock.
"This is so not good", said Kim, "They must think those two dead hikers were us. Now no one is going to come looking for us."
