Lexxy POV
I groaned. I didn't know why but I felt so tired, not only that my head was throbbing like crazy. And what was with this weird feeling? As if I've been betrayed or something…
I gasped and opened my eyes, finally recalling what had happened but only to see those emerald green eyes staring at me.
"So, you're awake, that's good" Drake said.
I blinked. How did he get up there? What am I doing? Oh my gosh, he's on top of me, I suddenly realized. What is he doing on top of me? How did he get there? What happened? These and a lot more questions filled my head before I finally saw the position we were in. On top of him was great big pile of rocks, cement and metal. Both my hands were stuck under his body while his were on each side of me, on top of my shoulders. He looked like he was trying to push himself upwards, doing his best as not to put too much weight on me.
"Drake… what are you…"
"Sorry. The ceiling… it collapsed and well… I wanted to… to protect you…" His voice trailed away as he blushed.
"Drake, you dove in to save me?" I said, my voice kinda faltering. "But-"
"I'm your friend." He smiled.
"All those rocks… They must be-"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Like you always say, no big."
I didn't know what to reply. Half of me was still angry and furious but the other half was touched. I would have hugged him if I could move.
"But still, I can't believe you lied to me" I said, the infuriated side of me decided to come out.
He sighed. "Lex, I didn't lie to you. I never have and never will. And I… I was hoping you would believe me…"
I tried to reply but instead, bit my lip. Guilt was starting to wash over me as I stared into his sad and hurt eyes. I guess I did judge him too soon. I never gave him a single chance to explain.
"But… your parents… why didn't you tell me?"
"I would have" he answered. "But I didn't know. I told you once before right? I really didn't know anything about my parents' past. I was too hesitant to ask about it. Maybe if I did, none of this would have happened. I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault. It never was. I'm sorry too." I smiled. "By the way, that was awesome" I said, getting off our previous topic.
He looked confused. "Huh?"
"Your new power, I didn't know you had it in you"
He grinned. "Frankly, neither did I"
"Any chance that it can get us out of here?" I asked hopefully.
"I'm sure it would" he replied. "Once I know how to use it" he added, grinning sheepishly.
I rolled my eyes. "You are so useless"
"Hey!"
I laughed.
"But you've got to admit, it still is pretty cool"
"Definitely"

Normal POV
"If anything happens to me Lexxykins, I swear I'm going to-"
"Ok, enough with your worthless speech!" Drake shouted at Ron who glared in return.
"Hey, my father-in-law has the power to send you to a black hole and I-"
"Oh shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"No you!"
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"
"I said you!"
Kim and Shego were getting irritated by each millisecond that passed. Both their children were under heavy rocks and cement and the two idiots beside them were not helping in any way.
"Ron!"
"Drew!"
"SHUT UP!" they both yelled.
"If we're going to get Lexxy and Drake out, we're going to have to work together" Kim said.
"And that means, you both keep your blabbing mouths shut or I crush you to tiny minuscule little pieces, do you understand?" Shego threatened.
The husbands silenced immediately.
Kim stared at her. "Harsh" she remarked. "But effective" she added with a smile.
"You expect anything less, princess?" Shego replied while blasting most of the debris out of the way.
It took awhile but finally they could vaguely see two figures just beneath a large cemented rock.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Drake asked.
"Do with what?"
"You know, our parents"
"Oh" Lexxy replied. He was right, they had already made up but their parents were still archenemies. "Well, I really don't know…"
"Do you think there's a possibility that they'll all forget it and make up?"
The cheerleader raised an eyebrow.
"I'm guessing that's a no…"
Lexxy sighed. "But there has to be something we can do. I really don't want my parents to fight yours…"
"Me too" he replied. "I guess that best way would be to be honest and tell them that-"
But he wasn't able to continue because rays of light suddenly started to pass through the rocks covering them. Lexxy had to adjust to the sudden brightness before she could see the bright blue sky. At first, she couldn't quite clearly see the four people who started to gather around her and Drake but she heard a familiar voice say, "They're ok!" and smiled.
Drake, meanwhile, got off her and to his feet, panting a bit. Lexxy had barely stood up after him when two pairs of arms surrounded her.
"Lexxy!" came the relieved voices of her parents.
After few minutes…
"Mom, dad, I can't breathe!"
"Oh, right." The two parents quickly let go of their daughter.
"We're just glad you're alright" Kim said.
"Tell me, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Ron asked, glancing at the black-haired boy talking with his parents at the corner of his eye in doubt.
Lexxy stared at him. "Dad, I can't believe you're still suspicious of him. After what he did?"
"You mean, stay on top of you?"
The redhead rolled her eyes and turned to her mom. "Don't tell me you didn't see it too?"
Kim sighed. "I'm sorry, sweetheart but none of us saw what happened after the tunnel was blocked"
"He saved me. He plunged in to save me" Lexxy said. "Please, please tell me that you're not going to fight with his parents anymore" she pleaded.
"It's not as easy as you think, Lex. Drakken and Shego are-"
"Your archenemies, I know" Lexxy interrupted her mother. "You've told me all about them. But Drake's different. He isn't a bad guy, he's not interested in taking over the world nor is he evil. He risked his life to save me and I… I…" Lexxy hesitated. "And I really really really really really really rea-"
"We get the point" Ron intervened.
"Like him" Lexxy finished, smiling a bit.
The two parents looked at each other after seeing the honesty and hopefulness in their daughter's eyes.
After awhile, Kim placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. "If you think he's what's best for you then so do we" she said softly. "Right, Ron?"
The blond at first didn't say anything, still looking doubtful.
"Right, Ron?" Kim repeated, this time with more force in her tone.
"But… well…"
Ron was still unsure. That's when an idea struck Lexxy. She stuck out her lower lip and made her green eyes water.
Her dad gasped as he realized what she was about to do. "No… no, not that look. Lexxy… no, no"
The teen looked towards her mother for help who in return smiled and made the same face.
"No fair, that's two puppy dog pouts!" Ron complained but the two didn't budge. "…Fine" he grumbled reluctantly, crossing his arms.
"Score!" Lexxy cheered.
"But" Ron continued. "If ever I hear of him hurting you one tiny little bit then I'll make sure he gets the first trip to a black hole"
Lexxy smiled and hugged both her parents. "Thanks, guys" she said. "Then, I guess that just leaves one more problem"
"What's that?" Kim asked.
The teenager looked towards the other family. "Drake's parents"

The black-haired boy, however, wasn't having as much luck as the redheaded cheerleader.
"No, no, no and no" Drakken said. "I won't allow it. I forbid you. Forget it. You cannot date Kim Possible's-"
"Stoppable" Drake corrected.
"Whatever!" he said. "I am going to destroy her and her family if it's the last thing I do!"
"Mom?" Drake turned to his mother who, for the first time, was quiet ever since he started explaining to them what happened and how he felt.
Shego sighed. "Drake, I'm sorry that this all happened and I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything but I didn't want you to get involved in this, any of this. And I guess, it's… it's your life and whatever you think is right then…"
"But Shego!" Drakken countered. "This is Kim-"
"Drew, you are going to shut your mouth right now" Shego said calmly but with pure venom in her voice.
The villain stuttered a bit before he closed his mouth and crossed his arms, pouting.
"You mean it, mom?" Drake asked, hopeful.
Shego looked at him. "Drake, the only reason why I refused to tell you anything was because I didn't want you to live a life like ours. I wanted you to be normal and happy. Even if it means being with our archenemy's daughter. Right, Drew?"
Drakken grumbled and didn't answer.
"Right, Drew?" Shego said again, glaring at him as green flames erupted from her hands.
"Mom, stop" Drake said. "I want an answer from dad that's not being forced out of his mouth because he's scared"
"I am not scared!" Drakken said indignantly.
The other two stared at him.
"Ok, maybe I am" he said. "A little"
Shego rolled her eyes, the flames vanishing. "Fine. Drew, what's your answer?"
"My answer is…"
