Chapter 24 of A New Redheaded Cheerleader

Chapter 24

(back at Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc.)

Drakken returned from throwing up his lunch because of the nauseating smell of his body odor. Shego and Dr. Doofenshmirtz, whom was looking at his watch, were standing outside the bathroom.

"Ughh…Shego, that's the last time that I'll forget to wear deodorant on a hot 94 degree day!" Drakken exclaimed in disgust.

"Well, try and buy some new sticks of the stuff from Smarty-Mart, Dr. D! It works wonders, you know!" Shego sarcastically replied, folding her arms.

"Hmm…why does he need so much of that body odor stuff?" Doofenshmirtz asked to Shego.

Shego gave a scoff and replied, "D'oy, he usually wears that same old blue outfit every day!

"Hmph! I'll try and put it on the list once the plan I have in taking over the world!" Drakken exclaimed. "And speaking of which, I am fine with this blue mad scientist suit! It's what makes me…well…me!"

"Whatever," Shego replied.

"Now to the world domination business, Shego, how is the machine doing?" Drakken asked, wanting to know if the important piece of his plan was coming into fruition. He pointed to the almost-completed Doomsday device.

"It's about 90% complete, but it's missing that Rarium or whatever it's called….." Shego replied about the progress, albeit in a sarcastic way.

"Well then, Shego, don't just stand there! Get to the outskirts of Danville and obtain it!" Drakken demanded.

"Ughh….fine, Dr. D! I'll take a few of your henchmen along with me for the ride…." Shego grunted. She then snapped her fingers as fifteen of Drakken's henchmen came to her side.

"Very well," Drakken sighed "and make sure the hovercraft doesn't get any dents in it, either!" He then handed the keys to Shego, whom with an evil smirk, swiped them from him.

"Yoink!" Shego chuckled as she, and the group of henchmen, headed toward the hovercraft.

Doofenshmirtz, after witnessing Shego leave with the henchmen, then rushed up to Drakken as he was walking out.

"Umm…why do your plans usually include taking over the world?" Heinz asked on why Drakken was taking up such a grand scheme, "I…I am just curious to see why you don't start out taking over something small, like what I'm doing right now."

"Because, Doctor," Drakken grinned evily, "the devices that I create are usually geared toward having the whole world bowing down before me!" He raised both of his fists in triumph.

"Then why haven't you taken over the globe yet?" Heinz then asked a sensitive question around the blue-skinned doctor.

"Nnnnghhh….." Drakken reacted with frustration, "it's because of the fact that one certain teen heroine keeps on ruining my plans!"

"Ooohh… Is she cunning and fierce like Perry the Platypus?" Doofenshmirtz asked with curiosity of comparing Drakken's nemesis to his.

"Let's just say she's kicked my rear so many times that I've been humiliated in the past! But not this time! I have made every single precaution to make sure that she'll never triumph over me!" Then Drakken paused for a moment, grin fading away, to the thought of a certain platypus, "Wait a minute, your main archenemy is a platypus?"

"Why yes….yes he is!" Doofenshmirtz said, trying to visualize his nemesis to Drakken, "He's like a monster with karate moves and punches and….."

"He's a platypus!" Drakken scoffed "They are supposed to do nothing!" He also began to chuckle, "I'll believe it when I see it!"

"Okay," Doofenshmirtz replied, "he'll be here later on today! I've even set up a trap for him just in case!" He wringed his hands in glee over trapping his nemesis.

"Hope it is teenage cheerleader-proof as well," Drakken suggested, "Maybe add in an additional trap as well for her!"

Heinz grinned, nodding his head, "That won't be a problem as well. She'll be as trapped as a…..umm…" He then scratched his back in confusion, "What are cheerleaders supposed to be trapped like?"

"I don't know…" Drakken replied, shrugging his shoulders, "I would usually say damsels-in-distress!"

They then came up to a coffee bar that Heinz installed when he usually worked on his –inators.

"Wow!" Drakken gasped in amazement, "you have your own coffee bar?"

"Why yes I do!" Heinz gleamed proudly, "I usually spend all night working on my –inators to take over the Tri-State Area, so I need my caffeine boost!" He then began to make his own cup of coffee with his favorite choice of caffeine – turbo.

"Amazing!" Drakken smiled, tenting his fingers. "If you have any other members of your family, I hope they are as evil and cunning as you are!"

"Oh, why thanks!" Heinz smiled, leaning on a wall and taking a sip of his coffee. However, the word of family got to him and the image of Vanessa began to appear in his head and a certain reminder as well. He then began to sweat and his heart inside of him began to race, realizing that he had a family obligation as well, even though he and Charlene were divorced.

He then spat out his coffee onto the floor and exclaimed, "Oh no! Vanessa! I forgot that I was supposed to watch over her today while my ex-wife's at that cooking class today!"

"Well then, why don't you get her, wherever she is!" Drakken suggested.

Doofenshmirtz stammered, "My…ermm…ex-wife told me this morning that I have to meet her outside the building!"

"Fine, Doctor, I won't hold you back!" Drakken said with a wink of his eye, "But I do have to complete my move here with the placing of the furniture and beds. That red-headed brat of a cheerleader cost me $8,000 in the latest failed scheme of mine and she also put a hole in the wall of my lair, henceforth the relocating for me, Shego, and my henchmen to your lair!

Heinz sighed, "Very well, Dr. Drakken, continue on with your moving into my area! I've got plenty of rooms around." Looking below, Heinz saw the coffee stains on the floor and called out, "Norm, get your metallic self out here and clean up the coffee stains! We have guests here!"

Norm, his personal robot, came out with a mop.

Drakken looked up at the gigantic humanoid robot, and began to be frightened by its height "Nngghh….what is that thing?" he asked with a shaking pointing finger.

"Hi, I'm Norm! And I'm here to clean up spills!" Norm exclaimed through the green glow of his teeth. He walked on over to the supply closet, creating small tremors in the floor. He then returned with a mop and a bucket of soapy water to clean up the mess.

"And who is your new friend?" Norm asked, then looking at Drakken. "He looks all…bluey!"

"Norm, he is a fellow guest who just needed to share a lair with me for the summer!" Doofenshmirtz explained.

"Says the scientist who fails in his plans…" Norm taunted, mopping away the mess.

Doofenshmirtz gave a face-palm and said unsurprisingly, "Norm…focus more on the mess!" He then went to the elevator to head downstairs to face his daughter.

(Back at the lobby)

Vanessa groaned, still uncomfortably sitting on the chairs. She tossed the old magazine aside to the side table.

"Ughh…I wish if Dad would've bought more comfortable chairs!" she complained, squirming in the tight chairs. "And I wish if he hadn't spent an hour on….whatever he's making!"

Then, a thought occurred to her mind which brought a smile to her face, "On the other hand, if Dad's machine is still there, I can finally prove to Mom once and for all that he's evil!"

She then heard the elevator bell ding and her dad finally came through the doors.

"Ugh…Dad!" Vanessa grunted with annoyance, "why were you an hour late?"

"Because I was busy, Vanessa, honey! You know how I am when I am trying to take over the entire Tri-State Area!" Heinz replied with concern for his daughter, "And I am busy doing evil business with another….."

Vanessa immediately jumped the gun and exclaimed with a smile, "Gotcha! I knew you have something evil in store! Mom is going to bust you so hard that you won't see it coming!"

"Well, um…" Heinz muttered, scratching his back, "…why don't I show it to you then!" He then walked with his daughter back into the elevator. Once pressing the button leading to the top floor, the elevator went up.

She then glanced down and saw her digital camera from her handbag. With all this evidence that I'll be collecting from the photos, there's no way that Dad can escape from Mom this time!
