(Shego’s p.o.v)
“Shego…”
‘Hmm…what?’
“…please…”
‘Huh?’
“…wake up.”
‘What are you-’
Thud.
“Gees! I seriously can’t believe I fell off my bed!”
Groaning I stood up and dumped my bed sheets that came along for the ride back on top of the bed. ‘Who’s voice was it that I heard just now?’ I rubbed my temple as I felt a headache coming on.
“Damn! And in the morning too.”
Grumbling all the way to the kitchen and taking a bottle of Tylenol from the cabinet, I popped two pills into my mouth and swallowed it down with a glass of water.
“Now I gotta wait for it to start working.”
Refilling my glass with water again I turned the TV on and switched to the news channel. ‘Let’s see what’s on the news today.’
“Even though our town’s beloved teen heroine Kim Possible passed away last Friday. Citizens and follow friends from around the world are still coming to bid our heroine good-bye.”
Coughing and spitting out the liquid in my mouth, I stared stunned at the television. Behind the reporter was a grave filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers and a few mourners standing beside it.
“How? But, she…the chip and the fighting…this doesn’t make any sense!”
My head felt like it got split in half by an axe. ‘Damn pills take so fuckin’ long to kick in!’ I closed the TV not wanting to hear about it anymore. The lab doors swished opened behind me, and a familiar, yet very unexpected voice came with it.
“Hey Shego? You think you could keep your voice down please? I got a major headache.”
Spinning around I faced the blond boy standing across the room.
“W-What the hell are you doing here?”
I yelled and pointed a finger at him. He just winced and massaged his temple; the metal doors opened again, this time revealing a very annoyed Dr. Drakken.
“Shego! What’s with all the yelling this morning?”
He grumbled and walked over to the medicine cabinet. Pulling out the very same pill bottle that I had held not more than five minutes ago, Drakken dropped four white oval shaped pills on the counter. He then filled two small glasses with water, handing Ron two pills and a glass of water, the two swallowed and drank away. I clenched my fist as I felt my tempter rising along with my headache getting worse.
“Would someone tell me…”
Fixing my glare at the two men in front of me, I watched as they gulped and quivered in fear as my anger grew.
“…WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON HERE!”
My vision blurred as I finished shouting at them, but I ignored it, thinking it had something to do with my headache. Getting my breath back I waited for an answer from either one of them.
“Well?” I hissed.
It didn’t really surprise me that it would be the sidekick to speak first, since he usually has at least something to say, and the things he says are always stupid now that I think about it. He opened and then quickly closed his mouth; he then scratched his chin in a thinking matter. ‘He’s probably thinking of how to explain this bizarre situation he’s in.’ I thought to myself.
“Well, basically I was depressed over…you know Kim’s sudden death, but before Kim’s accident I went through a break up and…and…because of that I wasn’t…”
I blinked in surprise as his eyes suddenly became empty with no emotion passing through them. It made him look dead, like there’s no soul inside just an empty shell. I felt a painful tug at my heart, and realized that’s exactly how I feel right now. Empty. I feel empty inside…like something important is missing, and that there’s no point in living if that something’s not here. ‘You mean if that someone’snot here, right?’ Frowning I shook that thought out of my head, then cursed realizing that shaking my head in this condition was a bad idea.
“Ron…”
Snapping back to reality I stared at Drakken with shocked eyes. ‘He…he remembered the sidekicks name.’ Not only that but he also pulled the younger boy into a loving embrace. My mouth opened and closed trying desperately to find something to say, but no voice came out. Dr. Drakken mentioned with his hand to sit down. ‘He’s going into story mode…again.’ After sitting the sidekick down, Drakken got comfortable in his own seat and cleared his throat.
“As you may know Shego, Mondays are usually my Smarty Mart shopping days and we were really low on supplies for this week.”
His small black eyes lit up as he went into memory lane of his low price bargain shopping. I crumpled a piece of paper that was laying around into a ball and shot it at his head.
“Yeahhh that’s nice and all…but, can we focus on the now Dr. D? Like explaining to me why he’s here!”
I growled and pointed at the blond boy who was still in Lala-land. Dr. D narrowed his eyes before continuing.
“As I was saying Shego, everything was at low prices so I grabbed and crawled my way through the mob of shoppers. Of course, I being the most evil and smartest scientist, out smarted those commoners. The results? I succeeded in getting everything we need that will last us for 2 months Shego! Two months!”
At this point he stopped and dramatically wiped a tear away.
“You just got to love Smarty Mart Shego, the place where smart shoppers shop smart.”
Taking deep breaths and rubbing my aching head, I used up all my will power to not blast Drakken’s head off until he told me, what the buffoon is doing here.
“Look doc, I couldn’t careless about your little shopping day. All I want to know is why and how he got here without me knowing about it!”
I hissed at him and my right hand burst into eerie green flames. He in turn raised his hands in defense and started to sweat like the pig he is.
“Alright, alright I’ll tell you just don’t hurt me please!”
The flames vanished, making Dr. D sigh in relief. I took a quick glance in the buffoon’s direction. It seems he was too preoccupied with his own flashbacks to have noticed the green flames and Drakken’s horrified yelp.
“Well, it began when I left Smarty Mart, and believe it or not, but the parking lot was full so I had to park on the street. I was about to enter the hover car when I spotted the buffoon crossing the street. Of course I just ignored him, but something caught my eye. A red sports car was speeding towards him, usually I would just laugh evilly and praise how lucky I am to witness the event, but instead I saved the boy.”
I blinked stupidly and wildly waved my hands for side to side in a ‘no way’ gesture.
“Woo-oh! Stop right there! You saved him?”
Drakken again narrowed his small eyes.
“Yes I did, now let me finish.”
I rolled my eyes and waved my hand.
“Right, right. Whatever.”
“After I saved him, I was going to tease him about not being able to cross the street without his mommy, but…”
He turned to look at the boy next to him.
“… He looked just like he does now. Like a mindless zombie. So I brought him to our place last night since I didn’t know where he lives. Anyways it took a few hours, but I finally got him back to normal, and over a few drinks he poured out all his problems to me.”
Drakken’s face turned a deep shade of red.
“And a few things led to others…”
“SAY WHAT?”
I shouted at him in pure surprise and shock, making Drakken jump off his seat. I got up and paced in front of the two males. ‘Ok Shego just clear your mind and think this through.’
“Ok so first you save him, and then you bring him back here…which kind of sounds like kidnapping by the way, get him drunk and then you rapedhim!”
I held the urge to puke as I thought of Drakken having sex with the blond boy.
“I think I’m gonna to be sick.”
Drakken quickly got up and waved his arms around franticly.
“W-what? No! I didn’t…we didn’t do that! Shego how could you think of such a thing?”
“Well, next time you should rephrase yourself, gees! …But, you did do something, right?”
Drakken flushed again and coughed. I raised an eyebrow at this and waited for him to tell me the obvious answer to my question. Also Ron decided to pick now as the best time to come out of his daydream.
“Well I…yes, we made out, but that’s all we did nothing more I swear.”
I sat back down with an amused smile on. ‘If only Ron could see his own face right now.’ I give a small chuckle as the blond boy gaped at what Drakken just said and looked like he was about to faint.
“D-Drakken! You told her! Without asking mefirst?”
“Ahh! R-Ron! You don’t know how happy I am to see you back to normal again, ha ha.”
Sensing a lover’s quarrel about to begin, I slowly and quietly edged my way towards the door. Not that I wouldn’t enjoy watching two people fight, no I’d loved that, but I just wasn’t in the mood right now.
“Well, I’ll just let you two work it out. I’ll be out for a while so don’t wait up.”
Entering the hangar and climbing into my green and black-checkered jet, I started my baby up and took off toward the clear blue sky. To be honest I wasn’t really sure where I was going. My hands were in command right now, for the place they took me to, was somewhere that I didn’t want to be. With the engine off I simply just stared at the cemetery’s steel gates, which were the only way in and out of the place.
“Since I’m here I might as well pay my respects, I guess.”
After climbing out of my jet I entered the cemetery. I don’t know why, but I always get this nervous feeling whenever I’m in a cemetery. ‘Like I’m being watched or something.’ Cold shivers crawled up my spine as I glanced around this eerie place.
“Damn it! Why does her grave have to be so far away from the damn entrance.”
Ten minutes later I stood in front of her grave. Everyone was gone by now, and all that’s left were dozens upon dozens of flowers. Compared to all the other graves Kim’s’ looks the liveliest. ‘Liveliest? Does that word even exist? Wait a minute! Why the hell did I use that dorky word anyways?’ I growled in frustration. ‘I’m not going soft damn it!’ Staring up at the clear blue sky I spoke.
“You know Kim this whole dieing and then alive and then dieing again thing is really starting to piss me off.”
Dead silence met my ears, and a reply to my statement not granted. With a harsher voice I continued my speech.
“Its like you’re toying with my feelings Kimmie and f.y.i, I hate it when someone hurts me emotionly.”
I switched my gaze toward her grave as I said that last part. With all the flowers surrounding the tombstone the only words that were not covered by them was her name.
“God, I think I’m going insane…I’m freaking talking to a stone for Christ sake!”
I winced as it felt like my head got split opened again. It seems that those damn pills didn’t work after all. Rubbing my forehead a strong gust of wind blew out of nowhere and nearly threw me to the floor. October leaves were blown everywhere, including my face. I angrily swiped away at them, and then turned my back against the untamed wind.
Then suddenly it all stopped. Head pounding I looked around confused and dare I say it? A bit spooked. I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseas as I waited for my vision to clear. That’s when I heard it… the same voice from this morning.
“…and that’s why I’ve been here everyday…”
I glanced around, but saw no one. No one was here but me. Black spots clouded my already blurry vision. ‘No I don’t want to faint here of all places!’ At least half my wish was granted. I didn’t faint at least I don’t think I did, but everything was pitch black and it felt like I was falling head first into this unknown darkness.
My head felt like it was about to explode and to make matters worse I’m freefalling in a pit of endless darkness. ‘Hurrah! Not!’ For the first time in my life I, Shego, the most beautiful number one fearless thief in the world, is now scared to death. Just when I think all hope is indeed lost I hear that voice again, and I’m not sure why, but I felt safe and warm.
“…for three months…”
“Three months?”
Of course whenever I do hear it, it never makes any sense! It’s like I only get bits and parts of their sentence.
“…for you Shego…”
“For me? What? Why?”
“…was my fault…”
“Your fault? What was your fault?”
Also I have seemed to notice that whoever is talking to me can’t for some unknown reason seem to hear me, because as you can see she does not answer any of my questions. Yeah, I forgot to mention before that even though I don’t know who’s talking I do know that it’s a female.“So please…”
“…”
“…if not for you, but for me…”
“…?”
“…wake up.”
The last part was said in a whisper, but it seemed so close like the person was just next to me. I find it hard to believe, as all there is around me is complete darkness. And me still falling to what I think is my doom. I sighed and smirked. ‘Well, it looks like I’m going to die…eventually, and most probably not be missed by the world. Drakken would be too caught up in his relationship with the sidekick to notice that I’m not around anymore.’
“And I’m definitely not going to the same place Kim is in. Nope, I’m going straight to hell that’s for sure.”
I looked around again.
“Heck! For all I know I’m already dead and this shit hole is hell.”
I felt a painful tug at my heart again as I realized even in my after life I wouldn’t be able to see Kim.
“…Shego.”
I blinked as a thought passed through my mind. ‘Wait. This voice…could it be?’ A bright light suddenly appeared at the very bottom of this hellhole. I was still quite a bit far from it, but that didn’t stop the smile from forming on my face. Deep down I knew that light was my only ticket out of here and nothing was gonna stop me from taking it. I sighed again and closed my tired eyes.
‘So, it was you…huh?’
I reopened my eyes, which were full of determination, and staring dead ahead at the white light.
“Wait for me…”
“…Kim.”
With that I set my arms firmly on my sides, brought my legs together and pointed my feet upward. This is what I like to call my skydiving position. Going slightly faster now I waited for the moment my body would pass through that awaiting light. Through the rest of the fall all that clouded my mind was a certain red headed heroin.
Yes I know it’s confusing but do not fear! Everything and I mean everything will make sense in chapter 4.
Please R&R! I would like at least 5 reviews before I put chapter 4 up, and more than 5 is welcomed too!
Also Chapter 4 might take awhile since first term is ending in like 2 weeks! But it should be up before December. I’m not making any promises here. ‘Til then I would like to wish you all a Happy Halloween!
