Slumping in to a booth in the corner of the club she had found her way to Shego sighed and poured herself a double vodka from the full bottle she’d bought at the bar.
“That’s my booth.” The villianess looked up into stormy brown eyes.
“Don’t see your name on it.”
The woman looked taken aback by her attitude, as though she was used to being feared and obeyed. Shego smirked and held the bottle out to her. “How bout we share?” A satisfied smirk appeared on the other woman’s lips as she sat down and took the bottle from Shego.
“Lucy Diamond.” She held out her hand, which was accepted by Shego’s gloved hand. Her green and black jumpsuit made her fit in more in the club than the other woman’s plain black clothes.
“Shego.”
“Nice to meet you Shego.”
“So how come your on your own and trying to drown yourself in booze in a place like this?” Lucy asked after she returned with a second bottle to replace the one they’d drunk. Shego didn’t reply, just sat staring gloomily at the table. “Got anything to do with a girl?” Her attention instantly snapped to the diamond thief causing her to laugh.
“How did you know?” Lucy lost her smile as her eyes glazed over and darkened.
“It always is.” She replied.
“Me. I’m here because I fell in love with a D.E.B, not just any D.E.B though. Oh no, I had to fall for the D.E.B.S poster child, perfect spy. We’re supposed to be sworn enemies and I can’t stop thinking about her-”
Shego burst out laughing, surprising the other woman. “Welcome to my world. I’m in love with Kim Possible; she makes Mother Teresa look like a rebel! Not to mention she works with Global Justice and is a completely straight prude.” Lucy smirked and nodded.
“She actslike she is. Amy thought she was straight too, then I kinda’ ‘kidnapped’ her and we ended up getting caught having sex by her team mates.”
“o0o kidnapping, that could work…”
Lucy shook her head. “Amy actually wanted to come, we just staged the whole kidnapping. If I forced her in to doing anything it would of pushed her further away. In the end I’ve just got to play it her way, give her space until she realises she’s made a mistake by leaving me for people who can’t accept her as she is.” Shego listened to her fellow thief’s words of advice avidly as she described her situation with Amy Bradshaw, the perfect D.E.B and, so it appeared, clone of Kim.
“Now she won’t even talk to me. I’ve tried everything. She’s just so scared of what everyone else thinks that she won’t let herself be happy.” Shego sympathised with Lucy completely. She didn’t think she could bear to have Kim, only to lose her because of her friends and family. “Know what, screw it! I’ll show the DEBS why they should never mess with Lucy Diamond! Australia’s toast!”
After a few hours and a lot of Vodka both women stumbled out of the club, which was affectionately named Junk Pit, and towards a blue car with a young blonde sitting in it, he oddly reminded Shego of the buffoon. The man smiled politely as Shego got in the front passenger seat, leaving Lucy sprawled out unconscious on the back seat. He cautiously watched her as he drove towards the nearest hotel as Shego had requested.
“Look, Lucy’s been through a lot lately. She’s in a lot of pain and as her friend I don’t think it would be right for me to let her get hurt anymore than she already is-” Shego cocked an eyebrow at his babbling. “You’re probably a really nice woman but she is hurting and she is hurting bad! A rebound fling is not going to help-”
“I’m not in to her.” Shego replied flatly. “We’ve just been keeping each other company. We’re in the same boat.”
The man, Scud, frowned. “You’re in love with a teen heroine there is no chance in hell anyone is gonna let you near never mind be with?” Shego nodded sadly and the man instantly shut up. “Oh.”
Two days later, as Shego lounged around in Drakken’s latest top-secret lair an article in the paper she was reading caught her eye. ‘Diamond Does it Again!’ She smiled to herself as she read how Lucy Diamond, world famous Diamond thief, had returned more of what she’d stolen, vowing to became a law-abiding citizen. Lucy had her way of getting Amy. Shego had her own way for getting Kim. She bundled the rope and tranquilliser gun in to a backpack before heading off to leave an anonymous tip on Kim’s website. Despite Lucy’s warnings Shego was convinced kidnapping could be fun. Kim would have a different opinion.
End.
