"… No!"

Drake, at once, opposed. "What? But dad-"

Drakken didn't let his son finish. "I said no and that's final. If you still intend disobey then you too will suffer with them"

"What!" Shego exclaimed.

The scientist ignored his wife's protest. "CYBERDRONES, STAND!" he ordered. There was sudden movement under all the debris and rubble. And one by one, all six cyberdrones stood up and walked towards their master.

"Maybe it will all just work out" Ron suggested as they still continued to watch the Lipsky family talking.

"Maybe…" Kim said in uncertainty.

"CYBERDRONES, STAND!" they heard Drakken order.

"Or maybe he just got tweaked" Lexxy said as they witnessed the robots get up.

"No way"

"It can't be!"

Drakken looked at them in triumph. "That's right, Kim Possi-"

"Stoppable" Ron said.

Drakken glared at him. "Fine, whatever" he said in annoyance before regaining his poise. "Did you really think that they can be destroyed so easily? Not while it's main drive is still intact then it will continue to-" He stopped and stared. "I just said that out loud, didn't I?"

Ron shrugged. "Might have slipped out"

"Oh, I knew I should have kept my mouth shut" he cursed. "Never mind. I shall defeat you nonetheless!" he declared. "Cyberdrones, at-"

However, Drake stood between them before he could continue.

"Drake, get out of the way" Drakken commanded.

"I won't. You know I won't" Drake stated, glaring at his own father.

Drakken clenched his hands into fists. "Drake, I'm warning you"

"You said you'd make me suffer with them if I'd disobey you. And I did. So do it" he said simply, crossing his arms.

The villain scowled in anger. "Fine, if that's how you want it"

"Hold on, Drew, you can't-" Shego began.

"Cyberdrones!" Drakken started.

Kim, Ron and Lexxy got into their fighting stance which meant the redheads in front and the only male behind them. Drake stood his ground.

"Shut down" he continued. The androids stopped moving as the red light from their eyes faded.

Everyone looked at the super villain who was staring at his son.

"Dad…" Drake said and walked towards him until they were face to face. Drakken stared at him before looking down then staring back. This happened a couple of times before the younger Lipsky smiled.

"Thanks dad"

Drakken opened his mouth then closed it and was about to open it again when Drake quite suddenly placed his arms around his father. And for the first time, Drakken forgot about all his plans, smiled a true smile and hugged back with the equal love and more his son had given him, now and always.

"Some night, huh?" Lexxy said.

"Yeah…" Drake replied. It was Saturday night and the two were sitting down in Bueno Nacho.

There was silence while they wandered, lost, in their own thoughts. After everything, Drake and his parents went home with Lexxy and her parents, seeing as their house was gone and they didn't have anywhere else to go to. Although there were a few on edge moments, everything was ok. The two couples got along just fine, most of the time. Kim and Ron had forgiven their former archenemies, Shego decided to help around the house and Drakken went to work for Dr. Possible, Kim's dad and put his brain to good use.

"Here are your orders" a voice interrupted, bringing both of them back down to earth.

"Huh? Oh, right. Thanks Ned" Lexxy said, smiling at the brown-haired man who grinned before going back to the counter. She got her order composed of a naco and soda then handed the chimmerito and the second naco to Drake. They ate in silence. Lexxy didn't know why they weren't speaking. Maybe it was because of everything that happened. It seemed their brains were still assimilating all of it.

"Hey, are you guys planning to talk anytime soon or should I call a paramedic?" another voice said, getting their attention. They looked up. It was Lorraine. She was looking at the pair in puzzlement.

"Oh, hey Rae" Lexxy greeted as the blond sat beside her. "Were you spying on us?"

"Spying is too strong a word, girl" she replied.

Lexxy rolled her eyes, smiling. "Whatever. Can we help you?"

"Yes. By telling me what on earth is going on? Where did you disappear off to last night?"

The redhead blinked before she remembered. She had left together with Drake to rescue her parents. She had forgotten to tell Rae. "Oh, Rae. I'm sorry. I totally forgot" she apologized. "It's just… I was called for a mission so Drake and I had to leave quickly"

But Rae didn't care about her explanation when she heard "Drake" "I" accompanied with "and". "You went on a mission? With him?"

"Well, yeah. I asked his help-"

"Girl, you did it! Finally, I was waiting when you guys would get together"

Lexxy blushed. "Rae!"

"What? I mean, this is so awesome!"

"Rae, stop it!"

"Now, why would I do that? I-"

"Um… in case any of you have forgotten, I'm right here" Drake said. "I can hear everything you're saying"

The two girls grinned sheepishly. "Sorry"

Drake replied with a smile and started to rise. "Maybe I should-"

But Rae stood up before he could finish. "You stay right there, mister" she commanded.

The black-haired boy blinked and shrank back to his seat under her stare. "Oh… um… ok…"

The blond smiled. "Well then, I'll leave you two alone now." And without another word, she left.

Lexxy rolled her eyes. "Forgive Rae. She's just so… Rae"

Drake laughed. "It's ok. At least she did something useful"

The cheerleader raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"

"She broke our silence"

Lexxy blinked and smiled. "I guess…"

"Don't even start" Drake warned as her voice started to trail. Lexxy laughed, later joined by Drake.

"Sorry" Lexxy said.

"It's cool"

Lexxy grinned. "Alright then. How about telling me about your new power?"

"What about it?"

"Like what it is?"

"Oh, right. Well, mom thought it would be super strength, like one of my uncles, you know, since it's blue. But it turns out, it's just like hers"

"Blasting things?"

He nodded. "I think I might have gotten the color from my dad"

The two laughed.

"Have you learned to control it yet?"

"Almost" he replied. "Mom taught me a few pointers this morning"

"Cool. So, like, what now?"

Drake thought for awhile before grinning. He leaned towards her. "Come closer" he said.

Lexxy stared at him in confusion.

"Just do it"

The redhead shrugged and did as told.

"This" he said and half a second later, his lips met hers.
