THE REAL DREW LIPSKY
Chapter 2 Why Is He Here?
"Uhh ... I'm going to make a sandwich. Do you want a sandwich? I'm going to get a sandwich..." Drakken rambled on as he avoided looking at the boy. He had no idea what to do. How was it even possible for him to be here?
Drakken quickly moved into the kitchen and pulled out some bread and started slapping ham on to it. He was a man of science, this was not real... yeah that's it, it's only a hallucination. He put more cheese and lettuce on the sandwich. The little boy followed him in after a few moments. Drakken continued to make sandwiches.
"So how old are you?" The small kid asked, leaning on the black counter top island as Drakken, on the other side of the counter, raised an eyebrow.
"Forty in a few days..." Drakken said quietly.
"Wow! That's old!" The kid said as Drakken gave a look as if to say 'I'm not old!'.
"I'm going to be eight in a few days." He said excitedly. Drakken looked at him.
"Eight. You're eight... I'm eight.." Drakken said in disbelief as he continued paused. He was onto making a third sandwich when he stopped to stare at the boy.
"This is scary." The boy said. He looked just as confused as to why he was here as Drakken was.
"No. This is hilarious." Drakken said laughing hysterically and resumed to making sandwiches so quick they were falling apart on the counter. Drakken couldn't control himself, he kept laughing. This isn't real, he must be dreaming. Why would he want to see himself as a child anyway? This was just too funny.
"Why are you making so many sandwiches?" The boy asked as Drakken started to look like he was going to lose it.
"There's safety in sandwiches!" He yelled as he picked them up, waving them in his hands, letting bits of food fly everywhere. 'This is NOT happening.' he thought. What would happen if one of the henchmen came in? He'd look mad. Or If Shego came down? This would only offer more mocking opportunities. No one would believe him.
Drakken sat down on the floor. The younger him was still on the other side of the counter so Drakken couldn't see him.
"You're not really here!" He shouted. The younger Drakken just sat there quietly. "You're just a hallucination!" He called to the younger him, and then he put his head between his knees. This was just a hallucination. He was just having a bad day. He would turn around now and the kid would be gone. It was that simple.
"You're just going to disappear because you're just in my head!" Drakken called out, hoping he was loud enough so the kid would hear and then disappear. There was no sound, no reply, no answer. Had it worked? He sat up and pulled himself around the counter. Good, he was gone. 'What a relief.' He stood up, for a minute he had himself thinking he was going crazy-
"Argh-" He sighed as he saw the boy was still there. He was just sitting further way now so he hadn't seen him before.
"I'm still here..." He said slowly, like he felt bad that he wasn't gone.
Drakken sighed. There was no use; it looked like eight year old Drew was going to be here for a while. He walked upstairs getting the younger version of himself to follow. It was late and everyone else had gone to bed, even Shego. She didn't stick around to see this. It was probably a good thing too. He didn't really like the idea of Shego seeing him as a pathetic eight year old. Where on earth would he put him? It's not like he had loads of spare rooms and what would the henchmen think. He didn't know what he was going to do. For now the kid could stay in his room.
Drakken went into his room followed by the kid he decided to refer to as 'Drew'. It was quite big with dimly lit lights. The walls were a rich brown to match the rest of the lair and had a huge window that led out to a balcony in the far side of the room. There was a small couch in the corner closest to his bed. He put some blankets with bunny designs on them and spread them on the couch to let Drew lie down.
Drakken went into his walk in closet and got changed into his pj's. Drew took the toy rocket and got into his 'bunny bed' and pulled the blankets over him. It was better than the floor. Drew thought his future house was very big and noticed how many doors and staircases there were.
Drakken came back in and got into bed. He turned out the lights and went to sleep.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star..." Drew started to sing as he played with the toy.
Drakken bit his lip in annoyance.
"Twinkle, twinkle..." Drew continued.
Drakken pulled his pillow over his head but could still hear it. He turned over he grinded his teeth.
"Hmph. Gah...nggrah" Drakken sat up. Drew looked at him then turn and looked out the window at the moon. It was orange tonight.
"Hey, why is the moon orange sometimes?" Drew asked innocently.
Drakken looked at him "...It's because..." Drakken had no idea why it was orange. "... it's... oh go to sleep!" He snapped.
"Your mean!" Drew shouted. Drakken ignored that. "I knew it! You don't know anything! I don't want to be a guy who grows up and doesn't know why the moon is orange sometimes!" Drew yelled and seemed to get mad in a similar way as Drakken.
"Just go to sleep..." Drakken scowled lying back down.
"Twinkle twinkle..." Drew started again. Drakken moaned and rolled over trying to sleep.
Drakken woke up the next morning with a headache and he sat up. He rubbed his eyes so he could see and looked over to the couch. Drew was gone. Great, he's probably in the kitchen or something. It's a good thing Shego didn't get up this early. He got a quick shower, and then went down for breakfast.
He went into the kitchen only to see no one was there, so he made coffee to help wake himself up some more. Where the hell was that kid? He saw the henchmen were in the labs working, and hoped Drew wasn't in there bugging them. He looked all over the lair and couldn't find him. Drakken started to panic. What if he's done something? 'Ahh! Where the hell are you?'
"He must have left." he mumbled to himself. "He's not here."
"Who's not here?" A voice behind him asked. Drakken turned around to see Shego behind him pouring coffee.
"No one." Drakken said quickly. Shego raised an eyebrow.
"Your not still going on about this kid, are you?" She asked him, knowing it would get under his skin because she was right.
"No." Drakken said clearly.
"Right..." Shego said not believing him. "Well... you have a meeting-"
"Meeting!? What meeting?" Drakken asked confused.
"The one with Señor Senior Senior and Professor Dementor." Shego reminded him.
"Oh yeah." Drakken completely forgot. Shego rolled her eyes and downed her coffee.
"C'mon Dr.D, let's go..." Shego said as the both left the lair and got in the hover jet.
At an expensive looking restaurant, sat Señor Senior and Dementor along with some of his henchmen. Drakken and Shego sat in the booth across from them. They were having an early lunch and Drakken was discussing his newest idea. He needed Senior's capital and the support of Dementor and his henchmen.
"So you see if you were to consider my proposal, we could indeed work out some way to succeed..." Drakken was saying. Shego was listening to him and actually thought for once he was sounding smart. Like his plan might work. That is if he could pull off this deal.
"And so..." Drakken stopped talking. He stared at the window. 'Oh no' he thought. Drew was at the window. He was waving to Drakken. The others noticed Drakken acting weird.
"Ummm… so, like I was saying..." Drakken continued ignoring Drew but Drew just banged on the window. People noticed, so did Senior, Dementor and Shego. Drakken turned red with embarrassment. 'Okay they don't know I know him...' Drakken thought.
"Look at that strange kid..." Senior said looking at him. Drew was banging hard at the window towards Drakken. Drew called through the window "I'm hungry!"
"Do you know him, Drakken?" Dementor asked him with a slight smirk across his face.
"No." Drakken lied. "It's terrible how some parents let their kids go begging for food." Shego looked at him, so did Dementor and Senior. Drakken just laughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.
Drew kept banging. "I'm hungry!" He shouted threw the glass again. All eyes at the table were now on Drakken.
"Do you know him?" Shego whispered to him slightly pissed off. She knew Drakken would mess this up.
"No." He said feeling very nervous. He stood up. "Excuse me, for just a moment." And he walked away with Senior and Dementor laughing under their breaths. Shego stared after him.
Drakken opened the front door of the restaurant to find Drew standing there.
"What are you doing here?" He hissed. "I thought you left." Drew looked up at him with his innocent eyes.
"I'm hungry..." He said softy. He didn't know where he was. He just knew to come here where Drakken was.
"Okay, c'mon..." Drakken sighed. He better go get him some food. He put an arm around Drew's shoulder and started to walk away with Drew at his side. Then he heard a voice. A familiar voice. A familiar voice he didn't want to have to face at the moment.
"DR.D!" Shego had followed Drakken outside. She knew he was acting weird. "Who's this?" She asked looking at the young boy.
"I'm Drew." Drew said in a friendly way. Shego looked at him then Drakken who looked stressed.
"He's my nephew." Drakken lied quickly. He didn't like to hide things from Shego but she couldn't find out the truth... not that she'd believe them anyway.
Shego looked at him with suspicion "Nephew? Eh..." She said. Drakken gulped. "You're an ONLY child, dumb-dumb!" She yelled at him. "What do you take me for?"
'Okay that wasn't smart.' He looked to the ground than back up to her face. "Yes, he's my mother's sister's child."
"So... he's your cousin?" She asked still suspiciously. She knew about most of his family. 'She won't believe he's my cousin.' He thought quickly.
"No, he's my grand-nephew... I just say nephew for short." He laughed uneasily. Shego looked at him for a moment then decided she didn't really care.
"Whatever... when did he get here?" Shego asked wondering why Drakken would have his nephew around with taking over the world schemes taking place.
"Last night, he didn't even give me any breakfast! I'm so hungry." Drew said to Shego. Shego looked at Drakken shocked. For one; that she wasn't told he was here, then for not feeding the kid and having him in the lair this morning and she never knew.
"He didn't?" She asked him, bending down to the little kid. There was something about this kid Shego liked but couldn't pin point it. She gave a dirty look to Drakken. "Your uncle isn't very good at taking care of you is he?" Shego said to Drew in an almost child like voice. Drakken moaned under his breath. He had never seen Shego be 'nice' before. Especially to a kid.
"Do you want to go get something to eat?" Shego asked him and he nodded cutely. Shego took his hand and walked to the hover jet, looking back at Drakken to follow.
They went to Bueno Nacho because it's where Drew said he'd like to eat. They took a table in the far corner. Drew got a naco, fries and a milkshake. Shego got some fries too while Drakken got a salad.
Drew stuffed his face while Drakken looks repulsed.
"Do you have to eat like that?" Drakken snapped.
"Yeah." Drew snapped back.
"Gah... Argh" Drakken said annoyed. Shego laughed to herself.
A boy walked in passed their table. He went to the counter and slapped some money on the counter in front of the cashier.
"Three naco's please." He said and a small pink rodent climbed up his sleeve.
"Mhh hum." The naked mole rat said.
"Damn! The sidekick is here." Shego said looked at Ron Stoppable ordering.
"Ahh, what's the bouffon doing here?" Drakken moaned. Drew looked around then back at Drakken.
"Who is he?" He asked wondering why they seemed not to like the blonde boy.
"That means Kimmie, will be here any minute." Shego said groaning. "We can't go anywhere!"
Kim came in the door and headed for her usual table as her best friend came towards her with a tray of food with Rufus sitting on it happily. Then Kim noticed the blue man with a kid in the seats in front of her. She walked over and saw Shego beside them.
"Drakken!?" She said a little shocked.
"And Shego!" Ron said standing beside Kim.
"Kim Possible… yeah…this is awkward." Drakken laughed nervously. He didn't think Drew needed to see himself getting his ass kicked by a cheerleader.
"Did you kidnap this kid or something?" Kim asked raising an eyebrow. Seeing the young kid with them.
"NO!" Drakken snapped angrily.
"He's Drakken's nephew. We have relatives too you know!" Shego said crossly.
"Who are these guys?" Drew asked curious. Then Rufus jumped on the table. Drew picked him up.
"Cool!" Drew played with Rufus. Kim and Ron looked at each other.
"That's Rufus, he's my naked mole rat, do you like him?" Ron asked softly to the small boy who seemed nothing like Drakken.
Drew laughed as Rufus tickled him. "Yeah, he's funny."
Drakken looked irritated.
"Can I get one?" Drew asked Drakken.
"No you most certainly can not!" Drakken shouted folding his arms. Drew gritted his teeth in a huff. "Grrhh!" Drew moaned to Drakken turning away from him and continued eat his Naco.
"Drakken what are you really up to?" Kim asked looking at him.
"Yeah, this kid seems too cool to be your relative." Ron mocked and watched as Drew dribbled cheese on his face and laughed at Rufus dancing in the Nacho box.
Drakken's face twitched annoyed.
Shego stood up angrily. "Look Kimmie, we're not up to anything, so get lost! We're busy!" Kim was taken back a bit. Then looked at Drew. He seemed happy enough so she decided she'd let them off the hook for now.
"Alright but if I find out you're up to something, you'll be seeing me." she then walked off with Ron and Rufus.
"Well that was annoying..." Drakken said after Kim had gone out of earshot.
"Why don't you like them? They seemed nice." Drew said still stuffing his face.
"When are you going to watch what you eat?" Drakken snapped to Drew. Shego looked a little surprised that Drakken was so cruel to his own nephew.
"Look at you." Drakken said looking at the chubby version of himself in disgust. The boy looked upset. Shego felt bad for him.
"What's wrong with you Dr. D?" She snapped and looked at him sternly.
"Well look at him! It's time he quit eating like a pig." Drakken replied- wait... since when was Shego such an 'understanding type' especially to kids? Did she actually like Drew?
"That's what kids at school say..." Drew said and both Drakken and Shego looked at him feeling sympathy towards him.
"That's it!" Drakken shouted excitedly. "I know why your here now!" Drew looked up at him and Shego looked at him at his sudden mood change.
"We have to teach you how to fight!" Drakken said. That's exactly why he was here. Drakken had to teach himself how to fight. So he could go back to his own time and defend himself against all the bullies that picked on him through out his school life.
"Really?!" Drew said sitting up excitedly. While Shego rolled her eyes. She knew this would be a bad idea. "Who's gunna teach me?" Drew asked.
"Shego." Drakken said pleased with himself for thinking of this idea.
"WHAT?!" Shego slurred out. "ME? Why me?" She asked looking at Drakken. His face dropped with disappointment.
"Well who else is there?" She gave him a look that said 'gee-thanks,-I'll-remember-that-next-time-you-need-the-pickle-jar-to-open.' Drakken seemed to realise what she was thinking and quickly said,
"Um… I mean who else is better to teach him?"
She thought of zapping him for a moment but decided it wasn't worth it. "Nice save there doc." she sighed sounding uninterested but agreed to it anyways. Drew smiled at her. She smiled back but tried to not let Drakken see. She sort of liked this kid, he was sweeter than Drakken.
Back at the lair in their workout room, Shego was showing Drew the basics for fighting like how to move out of the way when a punch came to his face, middle section and groin but he wasn't getting it. She showed him different punches and kicks that were used first on a punching bag but when he kept hurting himself on it, she moved them away from it so they were hitting the air. He tried a kick once more but fell again for the fourth time that hour.
"Wha- Ngah. Ahgh!!" Drew shouted holding his leg. Drakken sitting in the corner laughed to himself.
"Would you like to teach him?" Shego said sarcastically. Drakken looked up at her,
"Enough lip Shego." Drakken said sulky.
"Aww does Uncle Drewie not know how to fight?" Shego mocked.
"Don't call me that." He whined.
"Uncle Drewie" Drew said laughing.
"Wha- Ngah. Ahgh!!" Drakken whined annoyed. "Stop that!" he yelled to both of them.
Shego showed Drew more moves and he improved a bit once she also taught him how to keep his balance a bit better but still he got very impatient. Shego noticed how alike Drakken was with his nephew. Drew also seemed to have a temper just like Drakken and their names were the same. It was weird because he had never mentioned his nephew to her before. She knew a lot about his family since he complained about his childhood enough.
After an hour another hour of Drew falling and throwing temper tantrums, Shego had enough and decided he would only learn if he had a person actually attacking him.
"Drew, I'm going to punch your head. I want you to block it the way I showed you how okay?" she said gently and when he nodded, she went for his head with her fist at a good speed and smirked to herself when he blocked it with ease.
She knew this whole teaching little Drew how to fight thing would take some time so she focused on him blocking attacks and other little simple defensive things. She decided when he got the hang of being defensive, she would teach him how to be offensive but that would wait for another day. Right now Drew looked like he was going to collapse from exhaustion and even Dr. D looked like he was about ready to go to sleep.
"Alright, that's enough for now." she said once Drew blocked a punch aiming for his face. Drew smiled as his eyes drooped slightly.
"How am I doing?" he asked as the three left the room to head for bed.
"Pretty good for someone who knew nothing about self defence." she replied and ruffled his hair. "I'll see you boys in the morning." she said and walked off for her room.
Drew watched her go until she was out of sight and then glanced at Drakken to find him staring after her too, only Drakken had a look in his eyes that he had only seen people in movies have before they were about to kiss.
Shaking his head to rid himself of the thoughts, he dragged Drakken by the hand to their room and the two collapsed on the couch and bed before falling into a blissful sleep.
Thanks for reading, chapter 3 coming soon... Please review, Thanks.
