As Shego flew over the roof of Kim's house she heard a metallic clink and felt a sudden change in the weight distribution of the hover car. A few seconds later the redheaded teen hero pulled herself over the side of the car and into the copilot seat.
"Do you want to tell me why you have been flying back and forth over my house for an hour?" Kim asked.
"Trying to come up with a good way to give you the news," Shego replied honestly. The green villainess turned the car around and pointed it in the direction of the lair.
"What's the sitch?" Kim asked.
"We have a pair of blue boys waiting for us back at the lair." Shego recounted her meeting with Drakken and Zorpox. The green villainess was a little surprised that Kim didn't interrupt or accuse Shego of lying when she had finished her tale.
Shego turned on the auto pilot and gave Kim her full attention. "You aren't reacting the way I expected, Princess. What's up with that?"
"Wade has mentioned that Ron keeps removing the battery on his Ronmunicator and well..." Kim fumbled for the right words. "Ron hasn't been acting right lately. He seems almost distant. In fact the day I found you was the first day he has held me in months and I think he only did that because I was obviously distraut."
An awkward silence feel over the cab until they reached the lair. Shego brought the car down in its usual spot in the hanger. "I'll distract Drakken and you can fetch your boyfriend and take him to your nerdlinger or something." Shego wheeled herself out of the hanger without a glance back.
Kim found a ventilation shaft and started her clandestant search for Ron. As she slipped through the shaft Kim checked each of the vents looking for the room that Ron was in.
She found her BFBF in a small lab. When she looked through the grate he smiled directly at her. "Hey, KP," he said. "Do you remember that vacation you keep asking me for?" From his pocket Rufus popped up and handed his master a small remote control. "Thanks little buddy," said Ron.
Kim was about to ask what was up when Ron pushed the button on the remote.
The grate she had been looking through slammed shut with a loud clang. An odd odor began to fill her nose. She tried to crawl to an open shaft, but movement became slow and awkward. Each grate she came to was sealed tight. Her frantic search for a way out slowed as the gas built up. Consciousness soon left the heroine.

Kim was starting to get majorly annoyed. All she wanted was ten more minutes of sleep, but someone kept prodding her and calling for her to wake up. She halfheartedly swatted at whoever was trying to awaken her, hoping they would take the hint.
"Damn it, Pumpkin," came Shego's voice through the clouds in her mind. "Wake up or I'll start getting creative."
Odd, what was Shego doing in Kim's bedroom? Another question, why was her bed so hard tonight? As she pondered these questions her memory started to return. It had been a trap! Kim shot to her feet fully awake and dropped into a defensive position.
Looking around she discovered Shego and herself were trapped in a cell of some sorts. The green villainess was sitting on the floor propped up against one of the walls. Her chair was nowhere in sight. Despite the severity of the situation Shego had a smirk on her face as she laughed at Kim's reactions.
"I know why I am in here, but what about you?" Kim asked relaxing her stance.
"You were caught in the ventilation shaft. Drakken might not have figured it out, but Zorpox realized I had betrayed them," said Shego. "In fact the sidekick apparently already figured out that I would, because this cell is plasma proof." To demonstrate Shego launched a volley of plasma at the solid metal door leaving only the faintest discoloring.
Before she could continue the conversation with Shego the entire cell shifted and began to sway. Kim found herself flung against the wall next to Shego. Before she could fully right herself the cell swayed the other way and she bounced off the other wall. Kim sank down the wall to the floor and remained there until she felt the bottom of the cell hit a hard surface. The rumbling of a diesel engine roared to life nearby.
"Looks like we're going on a trip, Kimmie," Shego said. "Hope you packed a toothbrush."
Once she was certain that there would be no more moving Kim got comfortable opposite her nemesis. "You seem to be taking this all quite well," she commented.
"That's because I know that eventually I'll get out," said the thief. "And when I do, it's going to be a blue man barbecue."
"In other words I was unconscious for the R rated curse fest, huh?"
"Shut up, Princess."
Kim hid a grin and took the time to further inspect her surroundings. Their prison was a solid metal construct of about twelve feet by ten feet. the ceiling was eight feet high. Four small vents were mounted near the ceiling and Kim could feel a constant breeze flowing from them that meant there was some sort of forced air system attached. Apparently Drakken and Ron didn't want them to accidently suffocate.
The ride went on for hours on, what they assumed, was a large truck. Eventually the truck stopped. There was more swaying as their cell was transported again. When everything settled their remained a gentle rocking sensation.
"I'm thinking boat," said Kim.
-----
Another hour passed before the cell began to sway again. They felt the cell being set down on some solid surface. Ten minutes passed then they heard a single beep sound and then the door slowly swung open.
Kim crept up on the door and carefully peeked out into the bright sunshine. White sandy beaches and crystal clear blue water stretched for as far as she could see. "I am going to kill Ron for this, " she said.
"What is it," asked Shego.
"I have been asking him to take me to a nice romantic secluded island for months now," said Kim. "And when he finally does its to use it as a prison."
The redhead went back to Shego and bent over to pick her up. "What the hell do you think your doing," Shego shouted when Kim scooped her up.
"Taking us to the tree line, duh. This metal box is going to get hot real quick in the sun." Kim said.
"Put me down, now," Shego said furiously.
"Do you want to crawl out of here?" Kim asked.
Shego was about to retort, but came up empty. The green villainess grumbled the entire way up the beach and was still cursing under her breath when Kim put her down under the shade of a palm tree.
From their place in the shade they could see a ship sailing quickly away. Next to the cell that had held them was another smaller container. Kim went to investigate.
Inside she found basic food supplies, some first aid kits, and basic survival tools. "What is your game, Ron?" she asked the sky.
Kim collected some supplies and returned to Shego. "They sure are taking a lot of trouble to keep up alive," she said to her fellow prisoner as they sorted the things they would need to survive. "The only thing missing is some sort of fire starter."
Shego just rolled her eyes.
"Oh, right," Kim felt embarrassed for missing the obvious. "I should go collect some wood for a fire. We only have a couple of hours until dark." Kim disappeared into the tree filled center of the island leaving Shego alone.
The green villainess grew restless doing nothing. Funny, laying in the sun was always one of her favorite pasttimes. Seeing the expanse of sand gave her an idea. It had been years since she had done the trick that came to mind. Shego pulled herself to where the plant life ended and the sand began. Using an old fallen tree as a support she began to scoop up handfuls of sand.
Turning up her plasma up as high as it would go, she began to melt the sand into a growing blob of glass on the smooth surface of a large rock. when she had enough glass Shego kept up the heat as she molded it in a way similar to an artist using clay.
Carefully she drew out a long straight stem. Using a single finger tip she formed thorns along the shaft. Using more glass she crafted a few leaves and attached them. Using her complete concentration she painstakingly formed the rose petals one by one. and added them to the end of the shaft.
When the flower was done Shego held it up in the sunlight to inspect her handy work. In the tropical sunlight the crystal clear rose shined brightly.
"Wow." Shego heard a voice from behind her say.
"It's nothing," she said casually. Shego pulled her arm back and made to throw away her creation as if to prove the point that it was no big deal. Really she thought it was one of the best ones she had ever made.
"Please don't," Kim said quickly. "If you don't want it, can I have it?"
Shego set the glass flower down on the rock she had been using as a work bench. "Fine, but it is still hot so wait for a while before trying to touch it," she said casually. She wants something I made! Maybe I should have spent more time on the petals.
"Okay," said Kim. "I'm going to build a fire pit and then we can heat up some of these rations."
Who would have guessed Shego was such a talented artist? I wonder what else I'm going to learn about her here.
After building a pit that she was sure would contain the fire Kim carried Shego to it. The green villainess remained silent through what she saw as the ultimate humiliation. They ate together, but every time Kim tried to talk to her Shego would just shrug off the attempt.
After eating Kim set to the task of building a shelter. Before full dark she managed to give them partial protection. She would just have to work on it more tomorrow.

"And how, exactly, does leaving them on a deserted island help?" asked Drakken his partner who was sitting next to him on the small private jet they had chartered. The pair were enroute to a meeting in Japan that Ron had set up.
"The island serves two purposes," said Ron without looking up from his screen. Rufus and he were playing a first person shooter against each other on a pair of laptops. "One it forces them to depend on each other. By the time we retrieve them they will be working together like a well oiled machine. Secondly, it will give us the uninterrupted time we need to get everything else into place for the plan."
"What about that hacker friend of yours?" asked Drakken nervously. That kid had caused him some serious headaches in the past.
"On board and working with another friend of mine, Felix Renton," said the blonde boy. "They don't know the whole plan, but I gave them a project that I think Shego will really like when it is done."
"The only things that woman likes are fighting Kim Possible and vehicles that can break the sound barrier or wipe out a small city, a preferably both," Drakken scoffed.
Ron had a wicked grin on his face when he replied. "Then we have nothing to worry about."
